Shen Yunxiao always keeps his word. If he said he would not get out of bed for three days, he would not get out of bed for three days, not even a day less.
Lu Jinyue tried to climb down from the bed, but he grabbed her ankle and dragged her back.
"Ayue, where do you want to go?" Shen Yunxiao stretched out his hand and easily grabbed her ankle, smiling evilly at her.
Lu Jinyue turned around and was frightened by his smile, and was caught again.
Shen Yunxiao got out of bed with a greedy look on his face, dressed, and went to the morning court after washing up, leaving Lu Jinyue with a look of wanting to cry but unable to.
Even Baozhen was used to the favors that were so frequent these days. She helped Lu Jinyue apply medicine, dress, and wash. After the whole process, Lu Jinyue fell asleep again.
It was an hour later when she woke up.
She had just stretched when Shen Yunxiao came back.
When she heard his voice, she stood up from her chair reflexively and looked at him in panic.
"Don't come this time. Come with me to the archery range." Shen Yunxiao took her hand without saying anything and walked out. Seeing the corners of his lips curled up, she knew that he was in a good mood.
Before Lu Jinyue could figure out the situation, she was already taken to Shen Yunxiao's exclusive sedan chair.
I remember that last time, she had to follow the sedan chair on a snowy day. I didn't expect that there would be a day when she would sit here.
Lu Jinyue couldn't help but sigh.
The sedan carried the two people and quickly arrived at the archery range. The Hua siblings were already waiting there. They were chatting about something and smiling happily.
But when they saw Lu Jinyue, not only did they stop smiling, they also took the initiative to move away, trying to keep some distance.
"Yunxiao, what do you want us to see?" Hua Wuyang put his hand on Shen Yunxiao's shoulder in a friendly manner.
Only then did Lu Jinyue realize that Shen Yunxiao wanted them to see the crossbow he made.
Without saying much, Eunuch Ma respectfully handed over the crossbow, then stepped back and waited aside.
When the crossbow was taken out, Hua Xue Ning's eyes lit up.
Small and light, but I don't know about the range.
The range of bows and arrows in the Da Rui Dynasty was generally around seventy or eighty meters, and this was on the premise that the bow was fully drawn.
This thing is so small that its range is definitely not that far, but it should be enough to be used as an assassination weapon.
Shen Yunxiao went to such great lengths to call them over, it certainly couldn't be to let them see useless things.
Hua Xue Ning and Hua Wu Yang were a little further away. When Hua Xue Ning saw Lu Jin Yue looking at them, she smiled dryly and clasped her fists together as a greeting.
She still remembered the last time when Lu Jinyue held her in her arms and she couldn't get out!
She is an adult!
This is enough to show how terrifying this woman's power is!
Shen Yunxiao fired three arrows at once. The short arrows flew out at a rapid speed and pierced through the scarecrow fifty meters away in a flash. They went straight to the scarecrow placed a hundred meters away.
The Hua siblings widened their eyes in astonishment, their mouths forming an O shape.
When the arrow was shot just now, they didn't even see the afterimage of the arrow!
This speed is too fast!
"Great stuff!" After a moment of astonishment, Hua Wuyang finally found his voice. "If this thing is used in the army, it will definitely be of great use!"
"Where did the emperor get this thing? Is there only one?" Hua Xue Ning was also very surprised.
She was born into a family of military generals and her favorite thing was to wield swords and guns. She was extremely happy to see such exquisite things.
The eyeballs were about to pop out.
Lu Jinyue acted as an invisible person, trying her best to reduce her presence. After all, any slight movement might reveal some traces.
Shen Yunxiao seemed to enjoy the praise from these two people very much. He stuffed the things into Hua Wuyang's hands and put his hands behind his back.
"This item is exquisite. I also want to use it in the army, but there is only one of it now." As he spoke, his eyes fell on Lu Jinyue, "If you want to mass-produce it, I'll probably have to ask the person who made it."
The most commonly used weapons in the Da Rui Dynasty at this time were knives, swords, spears, and bows. There were no crossbows, so he didn't even know what these things were called.
Lu Jinyue, who was originally looking at the scenery, felt his gaze and was slightly shocked.
Hua Xue Ning followed Shen Yunxiao's gaze and saw only Lu Jinyue. She was surprised.
"Could this thing be made by Lu Jin and Miss Lu?" Hua Xue Ning changed her words temporarily.
Only then did she remember that Lu Jinyue seemed to have gotten off Shen Yunxiao's sedan chair just now. Now she saw Shen Yunxiao looking at her with tenderness in his eyes, and her heart was filled with turbulent waves.
"Yeah." Shen Yunxiao smiled faintly and stretched out his hand to her, "Come here."
Lu Jinyue was suddenly stared at by several pairs of eyes, and she felt uncomfortable all over, but she could see the threat in Shen Yunxiao's eyes, so she moved to his side.
"You must be kidding! Did you really make this?" Hua Wuyang blurted out in surprise.
After discovering her immense strength, I also discovered that she could make such exquisite weapons!
She really has a lot of secrets!
"Of course, you don't believe it?" Lu Jinyue asked back.
Hua Xue Ning choked and said, "I don't believe it unless you can dismantle it and then install it properly."
Faced with Hua Xuening's difficulties, Shen Yunxiao did not intend to speak in her defense, because he also wanted to know whether Lu Jinyue had this ability.
Lu Jinyue took the crossbow, sat on the ground, spread out her skirt, and then began to disassemble the crossbow.
Everyone was dazzled. Her hands moved flexibly and a complete crossbow was torn into pieces.
The Hua siblings' mouths once again became O-shaped.
"You, try to put it on again." Hua Xue Ning said again. She just didn't believe it. They were both women, so how could she be so powerful!
Lu Jinyue rolled her eyes and kept moving her hands. After a while, a complete crossbow appeared in everyone's sight.
"This is called a crossbow, and it can fire three arrows at once. Although it is small and light, it has extremely strong lethality. I think it can be used for long-range attacks, and the enemy cannot get close to it." Lu Jinyue introduced the crossbow very clearly.
"The most important thing is that it doesn't require much effort to use. Even a woman can use it." Lu Jinyue shook it and demonstrated.
If Hua Xue Ning had doubts and contempt for her before, now she only had admiration in her heart.
It is my admiration for her as a general.
"Thank you, Miss Lu, for your contribution to the soldiers of the Great Rui Dynasty!" Hua Xuening straightened her expression and gave Lu Jinyue a standard military salute.
When Hua Wuyang saw her sister doing this, she immediately followed suit.
Lu Jinyue didn't expect Hua Xue Ning to admire her. She was stunned and immediately returned the greeting with a woman's blessing.
"The two Generals Hua defend the country and protect the peaceful lives of the people. It is a blessing for the emperor and the people." Lu Jinyue said generously.
A breeze blew by, bringing a warmth.
