Sheng Jicheng's voice unconsciously rose, with a sense of relief, and he looked at the crossbow team as if he were a savior. Apart from the first time he saw the blueprint, this was the first time Sheng Jicheng was so satisfied with this powerful weapon.
"Hey, are we there yet? Where is it?"
Feng Xiyun didn't expect Sheng Jicheng to really answer his questions. He just couldn't hold back his words and couldn't stop talking. Now that he heard the topic he cared about most, he naturally forgot the questions he had just asked.
"Please come this way. Let's go to the stage and watch."
"Hey, what stage are we on? Let's just take a closer look."
Sheng Jicheng had made arrangements early on to bring this group of weaklings from Daqing to the martial arts viewing platform, and the targets for practice were set up under the platform. Letting these weaklings feel the magic weapons of Dongyao at close range would scare them to death. If they burst into tears on the spot, the scene would be too interesting.
However, Comrade Feng Xiyunfeng did not follow his plan. He refused at the first step and rushed directly to the target under the martial arts viewing platform. He also kept greeting Sheng Jicheng who was standing awkwardly on the platform.
"Hey, why is there only an archery target here? Where are the crossbow arrows?"
"Um, young prince, please come up to the stage and watch. The crossbow is in the distance, and this is the target."
"What? This is a target?... Oh, this is too dangerous. No, no, no, swords have no eyes. Even a gentleman does not stand under a wall. How can we, the royal family, be in such a dangerous place? General Sheng, please call for help. Let's change direction. Send the crossbow team over here and move the target over there. Then we can see the power of the crossbows up close!"
Sheng Jicheng: "..."
Fengming and the others were still wearing veils, so they could look at Sheng Jicheng's face unscrupulously. It was really interesting to see his expression change. As expected, bringing Xiyun always brings surprises.
"Haha... Young Prince, you're joking. If you want to see the power of a crossbow, you naturally have to look at the target. We're high up on the viewing platform, so we won't be hurt by the crossbows. Young Prince, don't worry too much."
Although Sheng Jicheng knew that this was a bit far-fetched, for the sake of his own plan, he had to let them stand on the stage and feel the threat of death up close.
"Oh, all right then."
Feng Xiyun saw that Sheng Jicheng was determined and insisted on letting them stand on the stage. After all, they were on someone else's territory, so he decided to do as the local customs do and quickly walked to the stage.
Seeing that everything was finally going as planned, Sheng Jicheng breathed a sigh of relief. This was really difficult to deal with.
"Your Highnesses, Young Prince, since we want to see the crossbows in action, there are no seats. We can stand here to see the effect better."
"Thank you for your help, General Sheng."
Because on the way here, Xishan and Feng Yuyun both clearly expressed their desire to communicate with Sheng Jicheng, so Fengming had no choice but to act as the spokesperson for Sheng Jicheng.
But he didn't say anything more, just replied lightly but politely.
Sheng Jicheng thought that he would see them frightened soon, and did not care about Feng Ming's indifference. He signaled to his adjutant maliciously, and the adjutant nodded secretly, indicating that it had been arranged long ago.
"Then please prepare yourselves, and let's begin the drill now."
"Yeah, yeah, okay, let's get started."
Sheng Jicheng looked at Feng Xiyun's excited face, and his malice grew stronger. "Go ahead and laugh. Let's see how scared you become pale in a moment."
With a wave of his hand, the flag soldiers who had been waiting for a long time moved the small flags in their hands, and the small flags like traffic lights rose and fell and spread to the far end of the training ground.
"rise!"
There were shouting sounds coming from afar, it seemed that the crossbow team was indeed quite far away from the martial arts viewing platform.
whoosh~
whoosh~
whoosh~
Soon, the sound of countless arrows breaking through the air was heard. From the sharpness of the sound, one could judge the power of the arrows.
Bang!
Bang!
Biu!
It was the sound of an arrow hitting the target and the haystack on the target exploding!
"Wow, it's really amazing. It can still be so powerful from such a long distance. It really is a magical weapon!"
Feng Xiyun excitedly stepped forward to look. Feng Ming was cautious at first, paying attention to the range where the arrows were shot from, and stood back a little. Later, after seeing that after a round of arrows had passed, no one on the martial arts viewing platform was hurt, he walked forward a little.
Feng Xiyun, however, had already excitedly rushed to the edge of the martial arts viewing platform, carefully examining the targets below, and occasionally expressing his admiration. His performance was like watching a circus performance.
Seeing that they were not panicking at all, Sheng Jicheng was really surprised. "These weaklings actually have some courage. Don't blame me for being ruthless."
He quietly made a gesture to the adjutant, and then looked at Xishan with a slight hesitation. After all, she was the eldest princess of Dongyao. Sheng Jicheng didn't care, but just made a gesture more forcefully. The adjutant had no choice but to command the flag soldiers to deliver the message.
At this time, Feng Ming, who was careless, and Feng Xiyun, Feng Yuyun, and Xishan, who were watching curiously, were all ignored.
"Your Highnesses, please step back a bit. Our second round of drills will begin soon."
Sheng Jicheng pretended to give a reminder. Even if he was punished afterwards, he would at most be guilty of failing to provide adequate protection, but he had given a reminder in advance.
"It's okay. We are on this high platform. Arrows can't hit us!"
Feng Xiyun, who was so excited about what he saw, naturally did not accept this suggestion. He even wanted to move forward a little more so as to have a closer look. Although Feng Ming took a few steps back, she inexplicably trusted Feng Xiyun in such matters and was not too guarded, because she had someone to help her.
The sound of arrows breaking through the air could be heard again from afar, giving one a vague sense of foreboding.
The first arrows also whizzed towards the target, but the following arrows were getting closer and closer to the martial arts viewing platform, gradually hitting the wall and slowly climbing in height - "Ah, Xiyun, be careful!"
Feng Xiyun was careless and did not notice anything unusual. Instead, he was even more excited about the superior performance of the crossbow. It was not until Feng Ming saw an arrow actually shot straight at Feng Xiyun, and if hit, he would either die or be injured, that he screamed loudly, and Feng Xiyun finally reacted.
!!!
But Feng Xiyun is a good boy. He has been practicing the most practical life-saving skills on the battlefield with the Sixth Prince since he was a child. However, he did not expect that he would encounter a terrifying moment on the battlefield, but would practice it on this small martial arts viewing platform in Dongyao.
He ducked back and dodged the first oncoming sword.
"Hey, interesting!"
Everyone was worried, at least Sheng Jicheng also pretended to be worried, but suddenly he heard Feng Xiyun shouting happily, and he was not panicked at all, but rather faintly excited.
He casually pulled out the sword of Dong Yao's guard, and with a clang, the ground was littered with short swords that were cut in half.
"Hahaha, sister, I'm awesome, right?"
After a while, this round of crossbow arrow practice was completed. Feng Xiyun excitedly walked to Feng Ming and asked for praise and a pat on the head.
"Yeah, you're awesome!"
Feng Ming touched Feng Xiyun's head with pity, but his eyes were stern as he looked in the direction of Sheng Jicheng!
