The thing in the box turned out to be a crossbow!
General Cao made the crossbow according to the crossbow design drawings.
There are two crossbows, one large and one small, with a total of twenty arrows, and each crossbow is equipped with ten arrows.
Tangli picked up the smaller one. Her hands were small, so it was just right for her to hold.
Wei Qing has big hands, so the bigger one fits him just fine.
Tang Li had a guess in his mind: "Did General Cao make this specifically for us?"
Wei Qing nodded: "It should be."
"General Cao is thoughtful." Tang Li said.
Weapons made by the imperial court must have uniform specifications, unless General Cao specifically ordered otherwise. Tang Li took note of General Cao's kindness.
Tangli looked at the crossbow and was eager to try it out.
Wei Qing saw through it and said, "Wife, I'll take you to a place."
Wei Qing took Tang Li out, carrying a bow, crossbow and arrows, and came to a small forest a few miles away.
Wei Qing picked up the bow, loaded it with arrows, and aimed at the distance.
"Wife, I'm going to shoot at that tree." Wei Qing pointed to a tree about twenty feet ahead.
Tang Li nodded and looked at her man without blinking.
Her man looked so handsome when he held a crossbow. This special crossbow was much more labor-saving than ordinary bows and arrows, but the muscles in his arms were still bulging. From the side of his face, he could see his high nose bridge, with very clear edges and corners. His thin lips were tightly pursed, revealing a hint of seriousness.
He let go of his hand, and with a whoosh, the arrow flew out.
In a blink of an eye, the arrow hit the tree in the distance.
Tangli jumped up excitedly: "Husband, you are awesome!"
"Give me a kiss." Wei Qing leaned forward with his handsome face.
Tangli stood on tiptoe and kissed the corner of his lips.
Wei Qing took Tang Li's hand and walked closer, only about ten feet away from the tree.
"Wife, you try it." Wei Qing said, giving the smaller crossbow to Tang Li.
Tangli has been eager to try it.
She took the crossbow, but unlike Wei Qing, she didn't know how to use it the first time she picked it up.
Wei Qing taught her.
"Like this." Wei Qing stood behind her, bent over, holding her hands with both hands, and almost holding her in his arms.
"Aim like this, look at this point."
"Once you're aiming, let go."
Tangli concentrated, aimed, and then let go.
The arrow flew out, deviated a lot, and hit another tree.
This happened to be my grandma's house.
It's far inferior to Wei Qing.
Tangli covered her face in shame.
"Great." Wei Qing kissed her hair and handed her an arrow. "Try again."
Encouraged by his man, Tangli tried again.
On the fifth time, she finally succeeded and ejaculated on the tree!
Tangli suddenly felt a sense of victory and accomplishment!
Tangli looks soft and tender, but actually she likes cold weapons very much, and her little face is red with excitement.
Wei Qing looked at her and wanted to kiss her hard twice.
Why is his wife so cute?
Tangli practiced for an entire afternoon and his accuracy got better and better.
If it wasn't getting dark, she would have been reluctant to go back.
Wei Qing put all the crossbows and arrows into the box, carried the box, held his wife's hand, and walked back.
Tangli really liked this gift from General Cao.
With the bows and crossbows made, the weapons of General Cao's men were improved. If they faced the Huns again, their chances of winning would be greater.
In the original novel, General Cao died young on the battlefield. I think with this more powerful weapon, his fate might be changed.
Just for the two crossbows in his hands, Tang Li wanted to pray for him.
However, that night, Tangli had a dream.
She dreamed that the Hun army attacked Qinzhou City, and the ferocious Hun soldiers slashed at innocent people with their swords.
Qinzhou City became a hell on earth. People fled in panic, but people continued to die.
There were cries and voices calling for loved ones everywhere.
Corpses were scattered all over the ground, blood flowed like a river, it was a horrific sight.
A big knife chopped towards a man, and when the man raised his head, it was Bai Muyang!
Tang Li suddenly woke up, his face full of panic, and he was breathing heavily.
Wei Qing also woke up. Looking at his frightened young wife, he quickly hugged her in his arms, patting her back gently to comfort her.
"Don't be afraid, wife. Did you have a nightmare? Don't be afraid, it's all fake. Be good, I'm here."
Tang Li gradually calmed down, looked at Wei Qing, suddenly hugged him, and buried her face in his chest.
The dream was so horrible that she didn't dare to think about it a second time.
But this dream is very likely what is going to happen.
"My husband, I dreamed that the Huns attacked Qinzhou City and brutally massacred the people. My elder brother was among them." Tang Li said sullenly.
She only dreamed of the broadsword slashing at Bai Muyang, but she could imagine what would happen next. Her brother was so weak, how could he possibly avoid the Xiongnu's broadsword?
Wei Qing's expression also became serious.
He knew his wife's secret, and since she had dreamed about it, it would basically happen.
His wife is sentimental. If something really happens to Bai Muyang, his wife will definitely be very upset.
Wei Qing had no sympathy for the lives of strangers, but he absolutely could not allow anything to make his wife sad.
So, we must stop this from happening.
"Wife, get up first, wash your face, and let's eat first." Wei Qing said.
Tangli nodded.
It was already bright outside.
She got up and put on her clothes. Wei Qing also got dressed. They went out together to wash and have breakfast.
"Wife, let's go to the Bai family first." Wei Qing said.
Tangli nodded.
She had to tell his brother not to go to Qinzhou City in the near future.
After breakfast, the two went to Bai's house together.
Everyone in the Bai family knew Tangli and was very welcoming to see them.
"Miss!" the concierge called out.
Bai Muyang had specifically instructed that Tang Li was the young lady of the Bai Mansion, so everyone in the Bai Mansion called her "Young Lady".
"Where's my brother?"
"Master Bai is not at home. He went out yesterday."
Tang Li's heart skipped a beat, and he felt a little uneasy: "Where is my brother?"
"I don't know the details. Please come in first. Uncle Fu is here. Please ask him." said the doorman.
Tang Li nodded and walked in with Wei Qing.
Tang Li was very familiar with the Bai Mansion. He took Wei Qing to the living room. After they waited in the living room for a while, Uncle Fu arrived.
Uncle Fu looked listless, a stark contrast to his usual state. He was quite old, but in good spirits, always energetic. But starting yesterday, his right eyelid had been twitching wildly, and he felt a bit uneasy.
It is said that if the left eye twitches, it means good luck, while if the right eye twitches, it means disaster. Uncle Fu always feels that something bad is going to happen.
The only thing he cares about is the young master.
It's not the young master...
Impossible, don't think about it.
Uncle Fu was naturally in a very bad state in this state.
Only when Tang Li and Wei Qing arrived did he perk up.
"Miss, Master Wei."
"Uncle Fu, where is my brother?" Tang Li asked directly without any nonsense.
"The young master went to Qinzhou City yesterday and should have arrived a long time ago." Uncle Fu said.
Bai Muyang actually went to Qinzhou City...
Tangli felt a little panicked.
