"If that's the case, then I'll think about how to deal with it." Xie Yunxiu sighed and said, "Please also ask the young lady to make the design of the repeater as soon as possible." ”

"Well, don't worry." Xiao Li nodded, "Since I choose to help you, I will always be on your side." ”

"Li'er, I'm really bothering you." Hui Yuzhong showed a relieved smile, the more he looked at Xiao Li now, the more comfortable he became.

"It's fine."

Xiao Li also smiled at Hui Yuzhong, "The Hui family's army is defending against the invading Zheng army outside the city, and I, as the young lady of the Hui family, have the responsibility to contribute." The rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband, not to mention that I am from the General's Mansion. ”

"Hahaha, the rise and fall of a good world, the husband is responsible!" Hui Yuzhong touched his beard and laughed. Xiao Li like this reminded him of the Wu family, "You have such thoughts, I really have to admire." ”

"Father has won the prize." Xiao Li saluted, "Is there a pen here?" ”

"Yes." Hui Shangyi nodded and pointed to the brush on the table, "Here!" ”

"That's the only pen?" Xiao Li frowned, it was difficult for her to even write with a brush, and now it was a little difficult for her to draw the design of the repeater with a brush, "Are there any other simpler pens?" ”

"No, we all write with a brush." Hui Shangyi scratched his head, "What?" Don't you know how to use a brush? ”

"Well, since I don't have another pen, I'll give it a try." Xiao Li shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands, "But I don't know if I can draw a standard." ”

Although Xiao Li designed the meniscus knife, the design of the repeater is much more complex than the meniscus knife and requires a lot of accurate diagrams. If it really doesn't work, she will explain it directly to the craftsman herself.

Hui Yuzhong heard the conversation between these two people and felt very strange. Xiao Li is a young lady from a scholarly family, why can't she even use a brush? And how could a woman in the depths of the boudoir come into contact with a weapon?

These doubts made Hui Yuzhong look at Xiao Li a few more times.

Xiao Li picked up the pen and found a relatively large piece of white paper, and then began to draw on it. The three of them looked at Xiao Li's design and couldn't help but be amazed.

They really couldn't imagine this kind of advanced weapon designed by Xiao Li. They had never thought of multiple arrows firing at once, and the three arrows designed by Xiao Li had already surprised them.

"Li'er, is this repeater you designed useful?" Hui Yuzhong couldn't help but doubt the usability of this repeater.

"Father, don't worry, if you don't believe me, I can bring you the repeater I designed before." Xiao Li raised his head and looked at Hui Yuzhong and smiled, "Since I can design it, then I can ensure that this thing can be used, and it is very powerful." ”

"Okay, you can bring your repeater later, and I'll take a look." Hui Yuzhong didn't believe Xiao Li, but he just wanted to see the true damage of the repeater.

"Yes, you can get it now." Xiao Li put down the pen in his hand, "Someone!" ”

At this time, a subordinate heard the call and walked in respectfully.

"You go to the pear courtyard and ask Meihua to bring the repeater in my room."

In the past few days, Xiao Li has been studying the improved version of the meniscus knife and the repeater in the Liluo Courtyard, so Meihua knows where it is. After the subordinate left, Xiao Li picked up the pen again and began to draw. It didn't take long for Plum Blossom to come over with a repeater.

"Young lady, I've brought the crossbow." Plum blossom walked into the study, put the repeater down and left the study without staying too long.

"This is the final form of the repeater?" Hui Yuzhong's eyes lit up, and he looked at the repeater and was speechless with excitement, "Can you let me try?" ”

"Absolutely." Xiao Li made a gesture of asking Hui Yuzhong to try the crossbow.

So the four of them moved to the courtyard, Hui Yuzhong's courtyard was very empty, because he needed to practice martial arts all year round, so the courtyard was designed to be very large, and there were many weapons in the courtyard. It can be said that his yard is like a small drill ground with everything in it.

Hui Yuzhong moved to the target, and then shot an arrow at the target. But since he didn't know where the crossbow firing mechanism was, he didn't press the arrow out for half a day. Xiao Li saw Hui Yuzhong's difficulty, so he stepped forward and told him where the mechanism was.

"Hahaha, you're so funny!" Hui Yuzhong didn't feel embarrassed, but laughed, "It seems that I'm old!" ”

After speaking, Hui Yuzhong shot arrows at the target, because Xiao Li designed the original repeater, so he could shoot five arrows at once. These five arrows were very fast, and there was a feeling of tearing the air apart. Only a few "booms" were heard, and five arrows had already penetrated the target and hit the wall.

The power of the repeater surprised everyone present, originally Xie Yunxiu thought that the repeater was just a few more rounds than an ordinary bow and arrow, but he didn't expect that the repeater had already achieved the ultimate in terms of power, speed and quantity.

"Very good."

Hui Yuzhong was somewhat sure of the next battle, although he was surprised by the power of the repeater, but he didn't show it on his face, after all, Hui Yuzhong is also a person who has seen the world.

"If the crossbow can have half the power, we can defeat Zheng Guo's army." Xie Yunxiu said confidently, "Then it's enough to make a hundred." ”

"Half the power is definitely there." Xiao Li reassured Xie Yunxiu, "However, it depends on whether those craftsmen can do it." ”

"Someone!" Hui Yuzhong called one of the guards in. I read books

"The subordinates are here, I don't know what the general commands?"

"Go and call all the carpenters and blacksmiths in Qisu City to the house." The guards gave the order and left.

"I'm almost done with the blueprints, now I'm going to find someone first." Xiao Li held the blueprint in his hand, "I'll bring this repeater over, maybe he can make a more suitable repeater." ”

"Okay, then I'll let Yi'er accompany you." Hui Yuzhong nodded understandingly, patted Hui Shangyi's shoulder with his hand and said.

"No need, you guys should discuss countermeasures here, and leave the matter of the crossbow to me." Xiao Li shook his head and rejected Hui Yuzhong's arrangement, "I can do it alone." ”

"It's a bit of a mess now, you have to be careful when you go out!" Hui Shangyi couldn't rest assured that Xiao Li was relieved, and told her.

"Well, it's going to be fine. You don't look at who I am! Xiao Li hugged his chest proudly, "Even if I need a villain, I still have a meniscus knife!" Don't worry too much about me! ”

After speaking, Xiao Li left the study and walked out of the Hui Mansion. Compared with the previous ones, many people in Qisu still dare not come out. The streets are deserted, with only a few permanent shops and stalls still open. Xiao Li walked to the corner of the street and found the blacksmith shop.

"Senpai, do you have time now?" Xiao Li didn't have any disguise this time, and walked in directly in women's clothing.

The old man sat in front of the fire, and only his eyes could see clearly, and the rest of the body was dark.

"Hahaha, you're here, of course the old man has time!" The old man smiled, stood up and greeted Xiao Li, "What good things did you bring here this time?" ”

The old man couldn't wait for the design drawings in the old Xiao Li's hand now, and then saw that Xiao Li had a bow and arrow weapon in his right hand that he had never seen before.

"That's what you want me to do today?" The old man pointed to the repeating crossbow on Xiao Li's right hand, "It looks quite complicated." ”

"Yes, it's much more complicated than the meniscus last time." Xiao Li handed the repeater to the old man, "Can you make it like this?" ”

The old man looked at the crossbow for a long time, and the two of them stood without speaking, except for the sound of wood burning in the furnace, there was nothing else in the blacksmith's shop.

"The old man can't do this." The old man shook his head, "This weapon has five arrow slots, and it is impossible to think of five arrows at once. ”

"Okay." Xiao Li shrugged, "Then can you try to do this?" ”

The old man took the drawing, looked at it carefully through the firelight, and still frowned.

"What's wrong?"

Xiao Li looked at the old man who had not spoken, and felt a little panicked. If this person can't make a repeater, then the craftsman of Qisu is really not as strong as the old man in front of him.

"Yes, yes, but it will take a day." The old man's eyes never left the drawings, "and the quality is not guaranteed." ”

"You try to make a hand." Xiao Li frowned, "Do I have any designs here that can be corrected?" ”

"The old man thinks you can put these three arrow slots in front of you, because we generally use long arrows now, and short arrows are used for repeaters, which are more powerful."

"Well, indeed. Now we lack everything, and we need a hundred crossbows alone. Xiao Li nodded in agreement, "It may be too late to add special arrows." But in this way, the repeater can't play its full strength! ”

"I'll help you change it again and see if I can do it better."

The old man seemed to have a clue, so before Xiao Li could say anything, he immediately returned to the stove and began to study the repeater.

Xiao Li didn't leave, standing aside and looking at the old man, she wanted to know how the old man could help her change. The old man began to make molds according to Xiao Li's drawings, and then began to strike iron.

I don't know why, this old man's movements are not very hard, but what he does is very fast. In about an hour, the old man had already made the repeater.

"Try?"

The old man handed the freshly made repeater to Xiao Li, Xiao Li took the repeater, and then found an open place to start the trial.

The old man always surprised her, and saw that the repeater she made was exactly the same as she expected.

"Seniors, juniors have something to ask for." Xiao Li looked at the old man.

"What do you want the old man to help you?" The old man raised his eyebrows and glanced at Xiao Li.

"I want you to teach the craftsmen who don't know how to do it, and I'll speed it up."

"Yes, if you pay me for the design drawings of the repeater." The old man smiled slightly, and Xiao Li breathed a sigh of relief.
