Chapter Eighty-Three: The Divine Crossbow
Xuan Qizi found out in Wuhou Mansion that Che Yunfei had come to Cangzhou to discuss with Ao Lie, the leader of the "Agni Fire Sect", and naturally knew that there must be a conspiracy in the meantime. Now that the pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info has arrived in Cangzhou, it is natural to try to find out Che Yunfei and Ao Lie and destroy them in advance.
At the moment, he wrote a letter and asked the innkeeper to send someone to Chen Longbin's mansion in Chenjiagou. He is a little easy to face, and he is in Cangzhou City every day, as well as the short three or four miles from the east of the city to Chenjiagou.
For several days, Xuan Qi didn't find any useful clues, and it was August 15 in the blink of an eye. On this day, it is the traditional Mid-Autumn Festival in China, and it is close to the 80th birthday of Chen Longbin.
All kinds of juggling, snacks, operas, etc. are all over every street, and it is even more lively in the three or four miles leading to Chenjiagou. Every 100 zhang, there must be opera troupes from all over the country invited by the Chen Mansion to sing for three days in a row.
Xuan Qizi is more interested in the three troupes close to Chenjiagou, and starting at noon tomorrow, these three troupes will be invited to sing a big show on the stage of Chen's mansion. Xuan Qi did not find any problems with the Liyuan Troupe and the Huangmei Troupe in front of him, and when he arrived at the last troupe, the Ganjia Troupe, a famous Qinqiang troupe in the northwest, he finally found a clue.
The Tsing Yi, Lao Sheng, and Xiao Sheng, who appeared in the front, didn't notice any problems, but the flower faces who appeared in the back showed a solid foundation in martial arts with a raised hand and a foot. Naturally, I can't see any difference between things that are slightly inferior in martial arts, but Xuan Qi's skills are profound, and he is a killer, so he has observed subtlely, and he has seen a trace of flaws.
It was night, and when the Gan family class cleaned up, Xuan Qi followed secretly all the way.
This Gan family class lives in a small courtyard provided by the Chen Mansion. The small courtyard is divided into two entrances, and most of the actors are tired after a day of work, so they sleep in the front yard. The flower-faced actor walked towards the backyard with the class owner.
Xuan Qi quietly followed, but saw the two of them enter a room with lights on. Xuan Qi saw that there was no one around, and a golden hook hung upside down, looking in from the window.
Under the candlelight, in addition to the two who had just entered, there were three other people sitting on the stool. The one on the left is Che Yunfei, and the one on the right looks a little similar to Ao Sheng, so I think it should be the "Fire True Monarch" Ao Lie. The man on the throne was dressed in a black robe and a black hat, and he couldn't see it at all.
"Hall Master Gan, Hall Master Lu, everything is ready, right?" it was Ao Lie who asked the class master and the flower-faced actor.
The class master arched his hands respectfully and replied, "Sect Master Qiqi, my subordinates and Hall Master Lu have confirmed, and everything is ready." ”
"Okay, you've just come back, I'll check again in a moment, don't make any mistakes. Let's get out first!"
The two of them, Gan Hall Master and Lu Hall Master, should be themselves, and they came out of the room after clasping their fists and saluting.
Xuan Qiyi didn't know whether to stay where he was for a while and continue to eavesdrop on the three of Che Yunfei's speech, or follow the two Gan Hall masters to find out what Ao Lie said. After thinking about it, I still feel that the most pressing issues should be addressed first. He followed the two of them and walked towards the other side of the courtyard.
The two of them pushed the door in, walked straight to the wall, and looked at the things on the ground, not noticing that anyone was snooping outside the window. After a while, the two of them finished checking and nodded and left.
Xuan Qi waited for the two of them to walk away, and one of them dodged into the room and walked towards the wall. There were piles of things wrapped in oiled paper on the side of the wall, and Xuan Qi opened it and couldn't help but gasp.
But I saw that the oil paper was wrapped in the "Shenji crossbow" that only the imperial court Shenji Battalion could equip with, this kind of strong crossbow is very small, but the rate of fire is amazing, the small crossbow box can be loaded with ten crossbow arrows, as long as the trigger is gently pulled, the crossbow arrows in the box can be shot, and it can penetrate the hardwood board two minutes thick in an instant.
Due to the high production process requirements, even the Shenji Battalion is only equipped with 500 "Shenji Crossbows", and there are more than 50 here. If these dozens of "Divine Machine Crossbows" are suddenly launched, I am afraid that even if there are hundreds of masters in the rivers and lakes, more than ninety percent of them will die in an instant.
Xuan Qi took the "Divine Machine Crossbow" closer and looked closely, but he smelled a faint fishy smell. When I sniffed it under my nose, I instantly recognized that one of the fishy smells was the smell of "Nine Shadows Eroding Bone Powder", and the other fishy smell was slightly weaker, but I couldn't smell anything, but it was expected that it must be a poison comparable to "Nine Shadows Eroding Bone Powder".
Xuan Qi was covered in cold sweat, if he hadn't discovered these "Divine Crossbows" in advance, I am afraid that the people in the rivers and lakes who came to Chen Mansion to congratulate Chen Longbin on his birthday this time would have at least hundreds of masters who would have folded under this "Divine Crossbow".
Xuan Qi was in the "Seven Star Villa", but he had learned some strange and obscene skills, and when he flipped the "Divine Crossbow", he finally found the elastic button of the bowstring at the bottom. After the elastic buttons of these dozens of "Shenji crossbows" were made into their hands and feet, the sky was already slightly bright.
Xuan Qi put the "Divine Machine Crossbow" as it was, and returned to the previous room, but on the bed in the room, he only saw Ao Sheng alone. Seeing that the sky was about to dawn, Xuan Qi didn't dare to stay, and went out of the courtyard, but he climbed over the wall in the backyard of Chen's mansion and went to find Chen Longbin.
When the two of them met, Chen Longbin was overjoyed, and said that Xia Xingyun and his entourage also arrived at Chen's mansion yesterday, and now they are resting in the mansion. Xuan Qi was overjoyed, Chen Longbin ordered his subordinates to invite Xia Xingyun and his party, and after Xuan Qi asked, he learned that Qingxu, Xiao Zhan and others were also at the house, and he also let Chen Longbin tell his subordinates to go and invite him.
Xuan Qi gave the "Ten Thousand Years Ice and Fire Stone Stalactite" in his arms to Chen Longbin as a congratulatory gift in advance. The toxicity of the "Nine Shadows Eroding Bone Scatter" in Chen Longbin's body was solved by this "Ten Thousand Years of Ice and Fire Stone Stalactite", and at that time there were only one or two drops, but it still increased a lot of strength, so he naturally knew its efficacy. Now I saw Xuanqi send out a small bottle, but I didn't dare to accept it, and I excused myself for a long time, and when I saw Xuanqi insisting, I took it into my arms.
Soon, Xia Xingyun's hearty laughter came in: "Good grandson, where is my good grandson?" Xuan Qi and Chen Longbin hurriedly greeted them, but saw Xia Xingyun taking the lead, followed by Xia Chongxiao, Xia Xuejing, Xia Lingshuang, and Ling'er. Several people haven't seen Xuanqi for two or three years, and now they see each other, and they have the joy of reuniting after a farewell.
When Qingxu, Xiao Zhan, Master Yizhen and others arrived, Xuan Qi stopped talking with his family and explained the "Divine Machine Crossbow" to everyone. Everyone naturally knew the power of the "Divine Crossbow", and they were sweating behind their backs, and they gritted their teeth and hated Che Yunfei's treacherous tricks. As for why the heavy treasure of the imperial court's "Shenji Battalion" "Shenji Crossbow" fell into the hands of the Huns, everyone couldn't come up with a reason.
After Xuan Qi and everyone decided on the countermeasures, they went to the courtyard where Xia Xingyun and the others lived, and everyone said goodbye to the matter, and they felt a lot.
