Chapter 95: It's so expensive... Why don't you just go and rob...
With this being said, even if Gu Yanchen didn't want to believe it, he had to weigh the value of his speculation.
After a little thought, Gu Yanchen thought of something that was not worthy of attention.
"There was one very small thing. I remember that half a month after I heard about Qi Ren's secret, Qi Ren held all his staff accountable for drinking and said they would be dismissed. I'm afraid those people may have already passed away!"
Ran Qingxuan scratched his hair and lay back on the bed in distress.
"I can't guarantee it. If such a subversive thing were to be spread, I would kill these people to eliminate the trouble. I just don't know if it was Qi Ren who reported the two missing people in our family to Emperor Mingde."
"Whether it is true or not is not important. What is important is that the fourth and fifth sisters-in-law must be having a hard time now, especially with Xuan'er. We are exiled, but they are actually on the run."
What Gu Yanchen was worried about was that if they were accidentally found by the emperor's men, they might be harmed.
He knew his men well and they would naturally protect the Gu family, but they had only been away from Beijing for three or four days and it would be easy for them to be discovered if they brought such obvious targets as women and children with them.
Ran Qingxuan couldn't think of a better way, but she didn't want to see Gu Yanchen looking gloomy, and she always felt depressed.
But as soon as she thought of the description in the book about what happened to the Gu family's exile team half a month after they set out, she took back the words she was about to say.
Gu Yanchen was concentrating on his thoughts and probably didn't notice her abnormality. Ran Qingxuan simply covered herself with the quilt, turned her back to him and immersed her consciousness in the space.
As conflicts increased in recent days, the incident involving the second prince and little princess came up.
Although we don't know who the person following us is, it is definitely unsafe since he appears. Besides, Gu Yanchen is just 'just woken up from a serious injury', so there is no guarantee that someone will lose his patience.
There are dozens of hot weapons in the cabinets in her office area, but to people of this era, they are unfamiliar and extremely dangerous lethal weapons.
If they took it out and fired a few shots in front of everyone, it would not only be difficult to explain, but it would also easily make people think of the weapon that killed Deng Zhuo.
After a stroll around the mall, Ran Qingxuan picked out two small crossbows with automatic arrow boxes in a store called [Future Cold Weapons]. The crossbows were also downward-pushing levers.
The crossbow looks like a hydrocephalic pistol. The price is 2,000 gold coins each. Arrows are sold separately, 500 per box...
"Tsk tsk, it's so expensive... why don't you just go and rob..."
After reading the introduction above, I found that this thing is made entirely of carbon fiber, and with thirty solid arrows, it weighs only 348 grams.
On second thought, although this thing is not as fast as a bullet, it is still better than those ancient hidden weapons, and no one can see anything when it is hidden on the body.
Even if you take it out and use it, if someone sees it, you can just explain that it is a hidden weapon.
Anyway, no matter which dynasty it is or which fictional dynasty it is from, there are always a lot of hidden weapons, so if they look a bit strange, people won’t be suspicious.
After taking a look at the gold coin income in the background, Ran Qingxuan was happy that the set of hairpins was sold, but at the same time, he felt sad about the 30% commission deducted by the mall.
Nine thousand eight gold coins plus the remaining money left, at least there was a little over ten thousand left. I bought two hydrocephalus crossbows and two boxes of arrows with a painful expense, and five thousand gold coins were deducted from the backend in an instant.
Gu Yanchen originally thought that Ran Qingxuan was asleep, but he didn't expect that when he just turned around, he saw her slightly angry expression.
Just when I was wondering what I had done wrong to make her angry, I saw her take out a strange-shaped box with a handle from her arms like a magic trick.
"What's this?"
Ran Qingxuan inserted the arrow into the crossbow in front of him, then without hesitation, he aimed at the beam above his head and pulled the trigger.
"Whoosh...Puff..." The firing speed is so fast that it cannot be seen with the naked eye!
Gu Yanchen was so shocked that his eyes blurred. An arrow about three inches long flew out and instantly sank into the beam of the house.
“So fast!”
"Here, let me give it a try."
Ran Qingxuan knew that since he was a man, he could not resist his curiosity about weapons, so after the demonstration, he simply pulled his hand and placed it in his palm.
The moment he got his hands on it, he was attracted by the hydrocephalus crossbow. Gu Yanchen carefully explored the structure and appearance of the crossbow and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
"Its appearance is very special, and its material is different from any hidden weapon I have ever seen. Even its speed is unmatched by other hidden weapons!"
Seeing his eyes shining, Ran Qingxuan carefully explained the usage of the name. The more he listened, the brighter Gu Yanchen's eyes became.
"It's just right for my sister-in-law and the others to hold such hidden weapons. You should also keep one in case of emergencies."
Turning his gaze to Ran Qingxuan, Gu Yanchen subconsciously asked, "You won't stay for yourself?"
Ran Qingxuan smiled mysteriously but did not respond.
Gu Yanchen thought that since she had taken out something like a car, what else did she have that he didn't know about?
However, the other party didn't want to show it to others, and he didn't want to ask directly. Anyway, he would see it one day, so it would be relatively safe if he didn't take it out now.
"The enemy is in the dark, we are in the light. I am afraid that the assassins sent by the emperor will arrive as promised..."
"Wait, are you saying that the emperor will definitely send assassins to intercept and kill him?"
Gu Yanchen keenly sensed the hidden meaning in Ran Qingxuan's words. Although his eyes were no longer filled with suspicion as before, he looked somewhat uncomfortable.
Having realized the importance of talking too much, Ran Qingxuan said in a very serious tone.
"What's so hard about this? The emperor was able to confiscate your property and exile you while you were seriously injured, and he also sent your former subordinate Deng Zhuo to humiliate you. Is there anything disgusting that he can't do?"
Seeing that her eyes were clear and she didn't seem to be lying, Gu Yanchen dispelled his doubts.
After all, he can conjure up a huge vehicle like a car with a wave of his hand, and can also take out a crossbow at will. Ran Qingxuan has such great abilities but always considers the safety of his family. What reason does he have to doubt such a person?
Knowing that he had some doubts in his heart, Ran Qingxuan did not explain further. After all, their fates were now tied together. If they trusted each other completely without going through any adjustment, it would only arouse suspicion!
Pondering over what he had said before, Ran Qingxuan turned over and lay on his side, speaking casually.
"After listening to your entanglement with Qi Ren, I think Qi Zhiyun is more suspicious. After all, if you can't get the love you want, then you have to find a chance to make things difficult for you!"
When I think of the prince and the princess, or brother and sister...
After her curiosity wore off, she felt like she had eaten a fly. Although she knew that there were many royal secrets in history, each of them was so bizarre and outrageous.
But this situation happened right next to her, and it would probably shock her for the rest of her life!
"Why do your words sound sour?"
"Tsk~ Why should I be jealous? After all, I am the only one who can sleep with you from now on. That princess won't get this treatment!"
Gu Yanchen blushed immediately after hearing this. Ran Qingxuan narrowed his eyes and showed an intriguing expression, then said calmly: "I was wrong, I was sleeping next to you..."
