Chapter 129: The Horse Thief
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty......"
Hearing Xia Fox's voice, Xia Qi didn't look up, and lowered his head to deal with the documents on the table.
A moment later, Xia Fox walked into the office hall and ran directly towards Xia Qi, bypassing the table and lying on his shoulder.
"Don't make a fuss!"
Xia Qi smiled and hugged her in his arms.
"Your Majesty, let go of me, it's so hot!"
Xia Fox struggled in Xia Qi's arms, and after a while, the clothes on the two of them were soaked with sweat.
"Tell me, why are you coming to me?" The two played around for a while, and then Xia Qi lowered his head and asked.
"Now, this hand. The crossbow I'm done. ”
As he spoke, Xia Fox pointed to the hand that had just been placed on the desk. Crossbow.
"Damn!"
Looking at the hands on the desk. Crossbow, Xia Qi screamed, he really didn't notice it just now.
But count the time, hand. It's been a while since the crossbow was developed, but it's possible to put your hands on it without even drawings. The crossbow sample is also fast enough.
"This is the hand. A sample of a crossbow? Xia Qi pointed to the hand on the table. crossbow, and then looked down at Xia Fox.
"Samples?" Xia Fox subconsciously glanced down at the hand on the desk. crossbow, then in a subtle tone, "Uh... Probably... Sort of. ”
"Probably? Sort of, right? ”
At this moment, Xia Qi undoubtedly clearly felt the change in the other party's tone, and then after a period of understanding, a trace of clarity flashed in his eyes, and at the same time, a trace of loss flashed.
This hand. The crossbow is really not so easy to make, and the one in Xia Fox's hand is far from being a sample, because there are still many mechanism structures that have not been done, and things like firing crossbow arrows and other things are completely impossible.
So this one in her hand, at most, is a reference, to put it bluntly, no matter how many problems have not been overcome, first make a physical object, and after there is a physical object as a reference, so that you can more directly figure out where the specific problem is, and then undoubtedly enter Xia Fox's question time.
Regarding the large number of questions thrown by Xia Fox, some Xia Qi knew that he could go back, but most of the questions he was also blind. In the end, he couldn't stand it anymore, so he could only try his luck in the trading house.
Fortunately, this time he was not disappointed, and finally found a blueprint of a black iron-level bow and crossbow.
However, this is the production blueprint of the crossbow, and the hand that Xia Fox wants to make. The difference between the crossbows is still huge. But it doesn't matter, when the time comes, you can make a stepping crossbow first, and then try to shrink it to a certain scale.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, you are so nice!"
Xia Fox grabbed the drawings in Xia Qi's hand, and before he could react, he left like a gust of wind
"Eh......"
Xia Qi looked at the back of Xia Fox leaving, felt the steaming fire in his body, and smiled helplessly, this girl, just make a fire, don't care about extinguishing it.
But then again, his two current women, Xiao Fox is in charge of the research department, and Silkworm Niang is responsible for all the processes from silkworm raising to silk weaving in the entire Great Xia, and she is also a busy person.
Helpless, Xia Qi shook his head, walked to the ice in the center of the main hall, bent down and scooped up a handful of ice water from it, washed his face, and came to cool down.
At the same time, on the watchtower above the city wall of Qingyan City, a city guard suddenly frowned, looking at the smoke and dust that was getting closer and closer in the distance, and his face changed greatly.
He immediately shouted in a loud voice: "The horse thief is coming!" ”
The words of the city guards made the faces of the caravans and people who were still queuing up to enter the city change greatly, and the original procession became chaotic.
"Hurry up! Anterior! ”
"Don't worry!"
"Don't squeeze! Don't squeeze! Line up! ”
A crowd of people crowded at the gates of the city, shouting that they wanted to enter the city, and they were suddenly huddled together.
Qingyan Castle is built on a mountain, so its structure is different from other castles, for example, it has only two gates. But there is another gate that is specially used to haul ore, and ordinary people cannot walk from that side.
Therefore, there is only one gate for ordinary people to enter a huge Qingyan City.
The horse thieves came quickly, and they came specifically to step on the point.
After many days of harassment, they already know when the people and goods are the most, and it is also the easiest time for them to get their hands on it.
Looking at the many goods outside the city, as well as the frightened faces of the people of Great Xia, the horse thieves who galloped on horseback let out bursts of excited screams.
At this moment, an angry roar came from afar.
"You're looking for death!"
Before the person arrives, the sound comes first!
I saw in the distance, Qingyang was holding a spear and leading hundreds of cavalry to gallop towards this side!
There were no cavalry in Qingyan City, and these horse thieves came and went like the wind, so the damage caused by bows and arrows to them was not very great. At the same time, because the city gate was blocked, the soldiers stationed there could not rescue in time, so that the gang of horse thieves succeeded again and again.
Later, in order to avoid this situation, Qingyang simply built a place outside that was not easy to be found and waited for these guys.
Looking at the green sheep who rushed over all the way, a trace of contempt flashed in the eyes of many horse thieves. With such a big guy, it is impossible for the other party to catch up with them.
As if they were in a no-man's land, the thieves grabbed the caravan's cargo and ran. The person in charge of transporting the goods had already dispersed in a hurry at this time, and before he had time to escape, he hid under the car and shivered.
One of the sheep's faces was so gloomy that she could almost drip water, but she didn't speed up, just fell far behind the horse thieves.
According to Qingniu, there is more than one group of horse thieves, and Qingyang wants to find their lair and annihilate them in one fell swoop.
The men and horses on both sides galloped wildly all the way, heading towards the depths of the grassland, chasing and fleeing, and the distance between the two sides seemed to be constantly widening.
After running wildly for an unknown number of roads, but unexpectedly, at this moment, an unexpected situation suddenly happened, accompanied by the roaring sound of horses' hooves, a cavalry unit suddenly killed from one side!
The man at the head had long golden hair tied into pigtails, and rode a golden horse, and the person who came was Silan!
Si Lan's speed was simply amazing, and in just one breath, he rushed all the way to the other party's inevitable path.
I saw him pick up his spear and enter the battle, and between the lightning and flint, the spear in his hand had turned into a little cold and stabbed his own fatal blow towards the man led by the gang of horse thieves!
didn't have time to think about it, in the blink of an eye, only a scalp-tinging sound was heard, and the spear in Silan's hand easily pierced the man's left shoulder, carrying the momentum of the charge, which directly caused the opponent to fall off the horse.
The body fell from the back of the galloping war horse, and the fall was not heavy, but the man, as a native of the grassland, obviously knew very well how to protect himself at such a time, the torn wound kept splashing blood, and the falling body continued to roll by inertia, throwing his whole person to pieces, but the constant pain in his shoulder quickly pulled him back to reality.
The scarface man, who had managed to stabilize his body with a single hand and a bone spear in one hand, did not have time to care about the wound on his left shoulder, allowing the blood to soak his entire shoulder, only to see his deep-set eyes staring at the figure sitting on horseback.
Feeling the other party's gaze, Si Lan shook the spear in his hand and said in a contemptuous tone: "It seems that that Keree is going to have one less general...... That one. ”
Hearing Si Lan's voice, the man's facial muscles twitched, and with a wave of hatred in his voice, he gritted his teeth and said, "Si Lan! ”
Looking at the anger on his face, Si Lan's face was as usual, and the tip of the spear in his hand was already against the opponent's neck, making the opponent unable to move.
Then he glanced at the horse thief who didn't look back, and fled directly, and his tone couldn't help but bring a bit of sarcasm in his tone. "These people of yours are really going to be very simple."
Hearing this, Batu's face turned ugly for a while, and finally he simply turned his head to the side in resignation.
Qingyang looked at Si Lan with a complicated look, and the meaning in his eyes was so complicated that he couldn't explain it.
Looking at Qingyang, Silan also fell into memories.
After a long time, he said to Qingyang astringently: "This guy is one of the most valued sons of the leader of the Kereh tribe, keep him, and that guy Kereh will definitely bring someone to save him." ”
After saying that, he left without looking back.
In this process, Qingyang didn't say a word, just looked at Silan blankly, until his back disappeared, and this time he sighed silently.
Seeing this, her lieutenant stepped forward and asked, "Commander, we ......"
"Do as the guy says. Find something to tie him up first. ”
When the deputy general heard this, he wanted to say something, but at this time, Qingyang's expression was obviously wrong, and he opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say a word.
Subsequently, this one was tied with a rope of animal skin, and then the wound on the other party's shoulder was simply stopped, and he died of excessive blood loss on the way. Then he called a cavalryman, and rode on horseback, and grabbed one end of the leather rope, and dragged Na Natun back.
This was not to torture him, but to make him expend a little more energy, so that he would not have the extra strength to think about escaping.
"Commander, do we have to wait for the other party to kill us? Can't we take the initiative to kill the past? The deputy general is not a native of the grassland, so he is puzzled by Qingyang's approach.
Hearing this, Qingyang replied: "You don't know the people on the grassland, many tribes on the grassland do not have the concept of camp, they are wandering people, riding horses, where there is prey, they will run to wherever they go." ”
