Chapter 103: Self-Honored

After agreeing on the plan for Yingcheng, Yingzheng was a little interested and took LΓΌ Buwei, Changping Jun, and Li Xin to Jingyao.

Yingzheng also ordered Zhao Gao to inform Li Si, Meng Wu, Wang Jian and other important ministers to go together, and even Sima Hong's father and son were called, and they also sent people to pick up the respected Ning Gong and the old man.

Li Xin and the others don't know why, what is going on to engage in such a big battle.

Because Yingzheng decided to make the secret of "my instrument" public.

After all, LΓΌ Buwei was already suspicious, and if he continued to conceal it, it would be even more unclear, besides, "I" was a divine soldier destined to become famous all over the world, and he was supposed to use his prestige to make the enemy army fearful. So the bigger the momentum, the stronger the deterrent.

Not only should it not be concealed, but it should also be touted vigorously.

When he came to Jingyao, Jing Fan had already waited in front of the gate with a group of people.

"Welcome to the king, Lu Xiangbang, Changping Jun." Everyone saluted in unison, as if they had been prepared.

"No courtesy." Ying Zheng raised his hand and said, "Today, the widow specially invited the important ministers of the court to come and observe the results of Jing Yao. ”

Jing Fan arched his hand and turned sideways and got out of the way: "Your Majesty, please." ”

Yingzheng and the others entered the gate, sat down to rest, chatting with Jing Fan while waiting for the other courtiers.

"Unexpectedly, the old minister sent these craftsmen to the king at the beginning, and it played a big role." Lu Buwei said with a smile.

"Yes, if it weren't for the generosity of the middle father, how could the widow get these creations." Ying Zheng said.

"Your Majesty, what kind of creation?" Li Xin wanted to ask on the way here, and said curiously.

Ying Zheng nodded at Li Xin and said with a smile: "You, I knew you would be curious." ”

After that, Ying Zheng instructed Jing Fan to send someone to fetch something.

"This place is called Jingyao, and it is a place for the development of some new weapons, ordnance and equipment for the widows." Ying Zheng explained, "Now that you are back, it is just for you to open your eyes, you know, there are many important ministers in the court who do not know this place, and now the widow wants to create a group of divine soldiers to make a name for himself in the world." ”

"Divine soldiers?" Li Xin's eyes widened, "What kind of divine soldier, is it powerful?" ”

Looking at Li Xin's expression, Lu Buwei and Chang Pingjun couldn't help but laugh.

"You, this statement that loves knives like life is really true." Ying Zheng said with a smile, "It's really similar to Princess Hu Yu." ”

Changping Jun was actually very curious, but after all, he was a little older, had a lot of experience, and he was stable, but he still saw a few craftsmen walking over with a few boxes at a glance: "They are back." ”

Li Xin stood up, stepped forward to help put down the boxes, and opened one of them.

Several delicate flying crossbows were displayed in front of him, and Li Si grabbed one in his hand and observed it carefully.

"Your Majesty, this crossbow is very exquisitely made, and the range and accuracy must be stronger than those used in the army." Li Xin fiddled with the flying crossbow and said.

"You know the goods." Ying Zheng said, "Let's talk about it when everyone is together, you can take a handful and go to the shooting range outside to give it a try." ”

"Okay." Before the words fell, Li Xin grabbed a crossbow arrow and walked out of the door.

Lu Buwei smiled bitterly and shook his head: "It's still that urgent." ”

"Let's go out too, play with Li Xin, and don't have to wait." Ying Zheng said.

"Okay." LΓΌ Buwei and Changpingjun said in unison.

The open space where the crossbow was used to be tested has been converted into a professional shooting range by Meng Tian, and the place is spacious, and it is no problem to practice riding and shooting.

Li Xin tried to determine the direction of the wind, aimed at the bull's-eye, and fired three crossbow arrows in succession, one of which hit the bull's-eye, and the other two deviated slightly.

Li Xin changed another longbow and prepared to compare.

At a distance of twenty zhang, there was no need to draw a full bow, Li Xin exerted a little force and aimed at the bull's-eye.

But at the same time as Li Xin shot this arrow, he heard a shout not far away: "Li ...... Letter! ”

Li Xin's hand shook, and the arrow feather was deflected, not to mention the bull's-eye, there was still some distance from the target edge.

The sound of horses' hooves gradually, following the shouting, the three horses came from far and near, and it was Meng Wu and his son who were sitting immediately, and it was Meng Tian who shouted Li Xin.

"Meng Tian." Li Xin put down the longbow in his hand and ran towards Meng Tian.

Among their peers, Li Xin and Meng Tian have the best relationship, the two grew up together since childhood, and they also accompanied Ying Zheng to study and practice martial arts together, and the relationship between the two fathers is also very good.

Meng Tian jumped off the horse, stepped forward to hug Li Xin's shoulder, and said happily: "Good brother, I haven't seen you for a year." ”

"yes." Li Xin said happily, "It seems that you are strong again." ”

Li Xin punched Meng Tian's heart, and the two laughed.

Meng Wu also dismounted with Meng Yi.

"Uncle Meng, Meng Yi." Li Xin said.

"You've grown strong, too." Meng Wu watched Li Xin grow up, and he also loved it very much.

"Brother Li, long time no see." The relationship between Meng Yi and Li Xin is also good.

Ying Zheng and Li Si also followed, and the father and son of the Meng family saluted Ying Zheng.

"Meng Tian, just now you shouted, and I shot all the arrows crookedly, which doesn't prove that this new type of crossbow is stronger than the longbow." Li Xin quipped.

"Hahaha, let's try again." Meng Tian said with a smile.

"Let's go." Li Xin said.

Back at the shooting range, Meng Tian and Li Xin stood at a distance of fifty zhang from the target, and Meng Yi also came to join in the fun, and the three of them competed.

"Meng Tian, I feel that the accuracy of this flying crossbow has improved a bit, but I don't see how strong it is compared to the longbow." Li Xin said after shooting an arrow.

While Li Xin was speaking, Meng Tian had already shot two arrows with a flying crossbow.

"That's because you've been in contact for too little time." Meng Tian said, "You'll know in a while." ”

"Oh?" Li Xin was a little puzzled and shot another arrow.

The three brothers were chatting while trying to shoot arrows, during which important ministers of the court and the central government arrived one after another.

Meng Tian always used a flying crossbow, still talking and laughing, Li Xin was a longbow, beads of sweat were already oozing from his forehead, and the bow was not so full.

Meng Tian stopped, handed Li Xin a hand towel, and said with a smile: "Wipe your sweat." ”

Li Xin took the handkerchief, wiped his sweat, and said, "It turns out that you just want to explain this." ”

"Hehe, that's good." Meng Tian said, "I have always used a flying crossbow, and you have been using a longbow, but after a long time, the difference in physical strength has become apparent, to draw a full bow, it takes a lot of arm strength, and when the physical strength decreases, the range and strength will also decrease." ”

Li Xin said with a sense of realization: "But the flying crossbow will not, because it doesn't use much arm strength, and it can always maintain high precision and strength." ”

LΓΌ Buwei, Meng Wu, Wang Jian and others, who were watching the battle, nodded when they heard the conversation between the two.

Meng Tian said again: "Not only that, we are still just shooting on foot now, if it is horse shooting, the difference is even greater." ”

"Why?" Li Xin asked.

LΓΌ Buwei also asked curiously, "Yes, why?" ”

Meng Tian arched his hand and said: "Back to Lu Xiangbang, as we all know, the arrows shot by the longbow are throwing lines, and the crossbows are shot in a straight line. The cavalry of both sides fought against each other, and the longbow fought from the top diagonally, and the target was people, but the cavalry was mostly protected by shields, and it was not easy to be injured. ”

"Not bad." Meng Yi also put down the flying crossbow in his hand and added, "However, the flying crossbow is a flat shot, and the target is a larger horse, and the horse has no shield to defend against, if the horse is lost, then can the cavalry still be called a cavalry?" ”

In other words, who said that to fight cavalry, you have to fight people.

"Haha, wonderful, wonderful." LΓΌ Buwei was overjoyed, "I didn't expect this flying crossbow to be so wonderful." ”

Ying Zheng was also overjoyed: "The widow also knows the mystery of this, it seems that the Meng brothers have put a lot of thought into the research of the flying crossbow." ”

Meng Tian and Meng Yi arched their hands and said: "The king has won the award." ”

Chang Pingjun said: "I don't know when the effect can be reflected on the battlefield, presumably if it is just a practice, the power is still different." ”

Ying Zheng nodded and said, "There will be a chance." ”

At this time, the sedan chair of Ning Gong and the old man also arrived, and the important people were basically gathered.

Ying Zheng walked out, stood in front of the ministers, and said in a loud voice: "Today, the widow summoned the ministers to come because there was something to announce. Before, the widow got a treasure by chance, and this treasure is the key to open the tomb of King Wu of Zhou, and the widow used this key to enter the tomb of King Wu, only to find a few strange treasures. ”

The ministers were in an uproar.

Ying Zheng waved his hand, signaled the ministers to be quiet, and then said: "The flying crossbow that everyone saw just now is one of the discoveries. Other discoveries include seeds that can increase yields, paint that can make porcelain, and a map that records peerless divine weapons. ”

"It turns out that the flying crossbow was found in the Tomb of King Wu."

"After so many years, can that kind of seed still grow food?"

"I've seen that porcelain, it's really beautiful."

"I don't know what that peerless divine soldier looks like."

The ministers gossiped and said everything.

Ying Zheng waved his hand again and said: "Regarding the flying crossbow, the brothers of the Meng family just explained the advantages, those seeds have also sprouted, exquisite porcelain, the widow has also ordered Jingyao to prepare a lot, when Zhongqing goes back, you can choose some, as for the divine soldiers, it is also the focus of this time, you see." ”

As soon as Ying Zheng's words fell, he saw Jing Fan walking out with "my device".

"This is the divine soldier?" Lu Buwei's eyes widened and he watched carefully.

"It's weird."

"Looks a little heavy."

"It seems like it's just a shield."

The ministers began to talk again, and the many people were mixed mouths.

Ying Zheng cleared his throat and said: "Regarding this 'self', the widow has not been brought back for a long time, so it has not been studied thoroughly, but today, you might as well give it a try." ”

Zhao Gao stood up from behind, and also said loudly: "The king ordered someone to summon a few death row prisoners and ordered them to compete with the sergeant with the divine weapon, so that if you fight to the death, you can show the power of this divine soldier." ”

"Yes, if the point is reached, it will not fully reflect the power of this weapon." Wang Jian said.

"Let's get started." Ying Zheng said, "Zhao Gao went to find a sergeant." ”

"Let's come on." Li Xin has long been staring at "me", how can he miss this opportunity.

"Okay, then it's up to you to use the divine weapons to fight the death row prisoners, you must be careful." Ying Zheng said.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Li Xin stepped forward to take the "my device", looked at it again and again, and then danced.

Zhao Gao brought five death row prisoners, armed with different blades.

"Whoever among you can prevail against this military master will be pardoned for his crimes, understand?"

"Understood." Several of the death row inmates clenched their blades.

Li Xin was also familiar with the "I device" in his hand, and pointed to one of the death row prisoners and said, "You, come here." ”

"Look at the knife." The death row prisoner broke off and raised his knife to kill, judging by his posture, he was a master with a knife.

Li Xin's body flickered, he used "my weapon" to block the blade, his wrist flipped, and he used the shield blade to cut it horizontally, although the death row prisoner was good, he was not in a hurry to dodge, and he was cut on his chest and fell to the ground.

It's just a turn, and the power of the divine weapon is presented.

Zhao Gao motioned to carry the death row prisoner down to treat his injuries.

Li Xin looked down at the "I device" in his hand, and was also quite surprised.

Seeing this scene, the other four death row inmates all unconsciously took a step back.

Li Xin smiled at the corner of his mouth, pointed forward and said, "A few of you, let's go up together." ”

Several death row inmates looked at each other, and under the collision of eyes fighting for freedom, it seemed that several of them had strengthened their confidence, and each of them carried their swords to attack.

Li Xin did not dare to be careless, put on the defensive, and took defense as an offense.

Li Xin is already strong in martial arts, and now that he has a divine soldier in hand, he is even more like a fish in water, and the first few moves are still only defended and not attacked, but after a few moves, he waited for the opportunity to counterattack.

Several death row inmates did not cooperate, so it was easy to break each one, and in a few breaths, they had already fallen to the ground.

"It's wonderful!" Lu Buwei clapped his hands and said loudly.

"Not bad, not bad." Ning Gong said with a smile.

"Young heroes, with peerless divine soldiers, it's not easy." The old man also sighed.

Ying Zheng also said with a smile on his face: "Ladies and gentlemen, the name of this divine soldier is 'My Weapon', which is said to be a thing created by the Yellow Emperor back then. And on the map that records this divine soldier, there is a sentence that reads, 'The divine soldier in the world, I am the only one'. ”

Li Xin looked at the "I weapon" in his hand, and thought that it was the time to raise his prestige, so he raised it above his head and said loudly: "I am the only god in the world." ”

"The world's divine soldiers, for me!" The surrounding Meng family soldiers shouted in unison.

This effect has exceeded expectations.
