Chapter 21: A Hot Potato
Chapter 21 Hot Potato
......
A space ring, really a space ring.
After Zuo Qianqian handed it over to Lei Qing, Lei Qing held it in his hand and couldn't believe it for a long time. Quite simply, something of this level is far from what a thief like the One-Eyed Dragon, who roams the remote mountainous areas, can have. In Yanjing, even many nobles with insufficient background, with all their efforts and money, can't get a space ring that can show their identity.
Only some generals in the army who command 10,000 people will be rewarded with a space ring.
But how could a little thief have such a thing in his hands? Was he lucky to get it? Or ......
The space ring is not as magical as depicted in some biographical novels, such as the need to drip blood to recognize the owner. Although the space ring is precious and abnormal, the concept of dripping blood to recognize the lord is still too exaggerated.
As a result, after Lei Qing put it on his fingers, he activated some Heavenly Thunder Fighting Qi and activated the space formation engraved in its core. Immediately, as if a stone had been dropped on the surface of the water as calm as a mirror, a faint ripple rippled.
Immediately after, the ripples swirled like a whirlpool, beautiful and mysterious. Lei Qing entered the whirlpool space, grabbed it casually, took out something, his pupils shrank, and he said in a lost voice: "Thousand machine crossbow." ”
I saw that this crossbow was jet black throughout, the workmanship was extremely delicate and heavy, and it was decorated with some mysterious and beautiful patterns, all of which showed the extraordinaryness of this thing.
Indeed, this Thousand Machine Crossbow is really not an ordinary thing, but a specialty of the Tianlan Empire. This crossbow is extremely powerful, about ten zhang, and can easily penetrate two feet through rocks. As a result, even some steel armor with strong defense could hardly resist the terrifying penetrating power of the Thousand Machine Crossbow.
Not only is the crossbow arrow powerful, but also the flight speed is extremely fast, with a distance of more than ten or twenty zhang, which is instantaneous. Even some powerful fighters have difficulty reacting to block or dodge, and once hit, they will either die or be seriously injured.
Therefore, the Qianji crossbow is not only an extremely sharp killing weapon on the battlefield, but also a good helper for assassin assassination and ambush.
Such a powerful weapon, of course, is difficult and laborious to make. The Tianlan Empire itself is only too little, not too much, it must be extremely secretive, and it is absolutely unwilling to leak it. Whether it is production or distribution to the army, the management laws are extremely strict. Whoever dares to engulf the sale with a thousand crossbows, once it is found out, I am afraid that it will be all over the house.
The reason why Lei Qing was able to recognize this thing was when he was a teenager, he had a friend in Kyoto, and the old man in the family was a general in the army. One day, he secretly took out a thousand machine crossbows and displayed them in front of his friends, which made everyone feel happy. As a result, the kid was tragic, and when he turned around, he was beaten by his old man and locked up for a whole year. And the general also personally went to the court to plead guilty.
Fortunately, His Majesty the Emperor found out that it was just a group of Kyoto's second ancestors who were showing off, and did not pursue the matter, but only punished the general for a year as a symbol.
But it can also be seen from this that the Thousand Machine Crossbow is so precious and difficult to find, especially the management is terrifyingly strict. In fact, the powerful people in Kyoto also demanded strict management of the Thousand Machine Crossbows. After all, everyone is afraid of death, isn't it? The speed and power of the Thousand Machine Crossbow are difficult for ordinary people to resist and react to. No one wants to live in a place surrounded by guards and trembling.
Lei Qing was also secretly in danger, but fortunately, the thousand machine crossbow was placed in the space ring, and the crossbow arrow was not wound. Or maybe the one-eyed dragon didn't know what was in the ring, or was dizzy. Otherwise, if he winds up early and takes out this kind of thing to deal with himself, it's really hard to say who wins and who loses, and who will die.
What made Lei Qing sweat even more was that there seemed to be more than one thousand-machine crossbow in this storage space. Hurriedly dealt with the scene first, and after destroying the corpses, I found a secluded place and counted, grandma's, there were twelve of them, and there were thousands of special crossbow arrows and some maintenance products.
What do the people who come out with these thousand-machine crossbows want to do? Those are 12 thousand-machine crossbows, and these are the thousand-machine crossbows that all countries on the mainland are stealing and copying, and have not succeeded so far. Even if it is twelve ordinary elite soldiers, after a little training, take twelve thousand-machine crossbows to sneak attack a silver-level powerhouse. In the end, I'm afraid that the silver-level powerhouse will still hate him on the spot.
"Is it smuggling, or is it a traitor? Is it the first time you have done it, or have you done it many times?" Lei Qing didn't know the purpose, but he only knew a little. The person who can hide it from the imperial supervision department and quietly make twelve thousand machine crossbows must be the most important person in the Tianlan Empire.
Snapping his fingers, there are no more than twenty people in the entire Tianlan Empire who can have such great energy except for the emperor. And among them, the Lei family is definitely not included. When the Lei family was at its peak, it was okay, but even if you wanted to do it now, you couldn't do it.
It is conceivable that among these less than twenty people, each of them is a powerful person with an extremely prominent status, and he can shake three times by stomping his feet in the Tianlan Empire. And these powerful people are very hand-eyed. If something happens here, they only need to investigate a little to figure out the ins and outs, and in the end, they can calculate it on their heads.
At this time, Lei Qing even had the urge to cry. Those powerful people, each of them is not comparable to Yu Shanshan. After all, Yu Shanshan is just the daughter of Yu Tianji, the first assistant of the cabinet. And the rest are real powerful people. If a person of this level is eyeing him, he is much more terrifying than Yu Shanshan. The power they can wield far exceeds that of Yu Shanshan. Yu Shanshan mobilized a mercenary group to deal with Lei Qing for some personal grievances, but there was only so much she could do. Unless Yu Tianji personally took action, it would be almost impossible to get some more powerful people to hunt down Lei Qing across borders. And those powerful people can do it when they are forced to do it.
It is precisely for these reasons that Lei Qing suddenly got such a thousand crossbows without being hit by a pie, but felt like a hot potato in his hand. Twelve thousand-machine crossbows are like twelve amulets. He is a good thief and a cottage, obviously he is doing good deeds, how can he still do such a bad thing? Is it really a good person who does not live long?
Seeing that Lei Qing's face was pale, as if he was desperate, Zuo Qianqian hurriedly cared.
Lei Qing also smiled bitterly and inferred about the matter, and said helplessly: "Now even if you throw things away, it's useless, that powerful person hidden in the shadows will definitely be able to track us down after we killed the one-eyed dragon." Whether we have a thousand crossbows on us or not, he will kill people and kill people. Qianqian, this time I can be regarded as a burden to you. ”
"Brother Lei, you're too worried. Zuo Qianqian didn't feel deeply about this, and said indifferently: "What if he finds someone to chase and kill? Didn't you say before, that Yu or something, didn't he also send someone to hunt you down? Isn't it that Brother Lei killed so many people, and you are still at ease?"
"It's different, the person sent by that bastard must be much more powerful than the person sent by Yu Shanshan, and it is very likely that he is still an extremely powerful assassin. Lei Qing sighed and said, "You don't know how deep the water is here." ”
"Anyway, I believe that Brother Lei, you are the most powerful, assassin killer, with Qianqian by your side, let's kill one by one, let's kill one by one." Zuo Qianqian said domineeringly: "Brother Lei, don't you often say that strength can't be practiced by retreat and meditation, and every strong person who sets foot on the peak is not a knife and a gun, and has gone through countless hardships and tempering? ”
Lei Qing's eyes lit up when she said it, indeed, he was in the game, and he was blinded by the means and power of those powerful people. When he was chased and killed by the masters of the Free Mercenary Group, didn't he think that he would die several times?
However, he survived in that mortal environment, and he was even stronger and more powerful than before.
"Whetstone, well said. The gloom in Lei Qing's heart disappeared, and the pride in his calm eyes increased: "Since things are already like this, why bother with gains and losses, and feel sorry for yourself? It is better to bravely face the bleak life and face the difficulties." ”
