Sister Han is good at farming

Chapter 221: Modification of the Continuous Shooting Crossbow

"Is the information you got accurate? How come more than a month has passed, and the little girl named Ruan Qingqing hasn't come to rescue her father yet? And isn't he a fifth-rank official of Yunqing Kingdom? Why are the people of Yunqing indifferent to his disappearance? We have spent so much effort, we won't save a useless waste, right?"

In an ordinary courtyard, Duoze, with a ferocious face, walked around the room with his hands on his hips, looking impatient.

"Our news is definitely correct. We sacrificed forty-two warriors to deliver this news. The little girl who can grow high-yield crops is particularly concerned about her relatives. Otherwise, when Timur held her sister hostage last time, she would not have chased us across the mountains for dozens of miles and angrily killed our forty-two warriors!"

Another rugged-looking man in the room shook his head in denial.

"Then Yunsheng, tell me, where exactly is the problem?" Duoze was so angry that the flesh on his face trembled violently.

Yun Sheng narrowed his eyes, "Could it be that Yun Qing's high officials blocked the news? You know, Yun Qing's dog emperor even sent out his secret guards to protect the little girl. Our spies and those of other neighboring countries suffered a lot at the hands of those secret guards. He can spend such a high price to protect the little girl, so it is possible that he blocked the news to prevent the little girl from being in danger!"

"That won't do! We have been working so hard for so long, how can we work in vain? Besides, the adults in the royal court won't allow it, and our people can't wait any longer! When I think of the hundreds of people in Moliang starving to death every day, I feel like there is a fire burning in my heart!"

Duoze became even more annoyed when he thought about how he had been busy for so long but still hadn't solved the problem.

"Report! Lord Doze, an unknown flare appeared near us."

At this time, a soldier wearing a felt hat rushed in from outside.

"Unidentified flares?" Yun Sheng rubbed his chin. "Could it be that those Yunqing people appear to not care, but are actually secretly looking for a chance to rescue that Yunqing official?"

As if thinking of something, he sat up straight in an instant, "Pass my order to strengthen the guard of that Yunqing official. If we can't catch the girl, catching another big fish will also be good. At least we can exchange it for more food!"

"Yes!" The soldier immediately retreated.

On the other side, Ruan Qingqing and others waited for more than ten days in a row. Seeing that their defenses were becoming more and more tight, they couldn't help but become more and more impatient.

"Did the enemy discover something?" Yue Linlang frowned.

"It should be the flares I fired that alerted them." Ruan Qingqing pursed her lips, "But if we don't lure Chase and the others over here, it won't be easy for us to get out of there unscathed. What's more troublesome is that this place is too close to Moliang. If we fail to do it well, we will have to go deep into Moliang to rescue people."

What Ruan Qingqing didn't say was that she still needed time for them to upgrade the rapid-fire crossbows in everyone's hands.

"Well, if Chase brings people here, our chances of winning will be greater!" Wushang also agreed.

Privately, Yue Linlang touched her bulging belly, looking melancholy, "If I didn't have this burden, I could kill him several times in Moliang Country."

Upon hearing this, Lu Dunren snorted coldly, and the stone in his hand instantly disappeared. "If there wasn't poison in my body, why would I have been so depressed for so long?"

"Enough! Why so many ifs? Have the arrows in your hands been sharpened?" Zhuge Hong said impatiently after taking a sip of wine.

Yue Linlang and Lu Dunren both looked a little embarrassed, "Not yet."

"That's it! You young people just love to be ambitious! So what if you don't have the skills you once had? Can't make ends meet? Besides, when you sharpen the arrows in your hands, believe me, an old man, they will definitely not be worse than when you were at your peak strength!"

Zhuge Hong put the wine jug on his waist, picked up the mostly modified continuous-shooting crossbow that was placed aside, and practiced it in his hand.

"Mr. Ge just loves to brag!" Lu Dunren snorted indifferently.

Zhuge Hong's hand speed suddenly changed, and there were only more than ten consecutive "click-click" sounds. Then he swept his sleeves, and the arrows that the three of them had sharpened on the table all fell accurately into the crossbow box in his hand. With a "click", the quiver was closed.

"If you don't believe me, try this crossbow with continuous arrows."

A crossbow loaded with arrows was thrown towards Lu Dunren's front door.

Although Lu Dunren stretched out his hand to catch it, his face showed no interest. "Isn't it just a crossbow that can fire arrows continuously? What's so great about it?"

"It's not that great, you'll know if you try it, right?" Zhuge Hong sneered.

Only then did Lu Dunren walk out of the workshop doubtfully, aim at the target and start shooting.

"Shhhhhh!"

As Lu Dunren shot, his face changed, and then he was filled with ecstasy.

"Master Ge, I didn't expect you to have such skills! Shooting three arrows at once, multiple arrows in a row, I have never felt so happy shooting arrows before!"

Zhuge Hong calmly pulled out the wine gourd from his waist and took a sip of wine. "Before you make your speech, you might as well take a look at the target you shot at."

Yue Linlang seemed to have thought of something and went to check first.

“All the arrows actually penetrated the same tree hole!”

"You might as well look further ahead." Zhuge Hong reminded.

"Hiss! It actually penetrated the wall behind the tree!" This time it was Lu Dunren who screamed.

"Mr. Ge, where did you get such a powerful weapon?" Yue Linlang ran up to him quickly, her face flushed with excitement.

"Where else could it have come from? The great master gave it to me!"

Lu Dunren's eyes widened suddenly, "Given by the master?" Then he shook his head violently, "Impossible, I have tried the continuous shooting crossbow given by the master, and it is not so powerful? The continuous shooting is not so smooth!"

Zhuge Hong snorted disdainfully, "Yan Qufeng may have great carpentry skills, but when it comes to making tools, he's still not good enough in front of me! A good thing fell into his hands, but he can only make one tenth or one twelfth of its power."

"It's not entirely Uncle Yan's fault. Yunqing has strict control over ironware, which has some constraints on the use of materials. Unlike here, because it is close to Moliang, the management of ironware is much looser."

"Master!" When the three saw Ruan Qingqing come in, they quickly restrained their expressions and greeted her respectfully.

"Everyone is busy with their own things, so don't be polite! I'll just take a look." Ruan Qingqing said in a relaxed tone.

"Master, the reason you chose to lurk here is because the management of ironware here is loose, is it because of this?" Zhuge Hong asked.

"That's right! Let's wait for another five days. If Chase and others haven't arrived yet, we won't wait any longer. We will use these crossbows to attack!" Ruan Qingqing said in a firm voice.

"So the master has always had two plans prepared?" Yue Linlang was shocked.

"What else? Putting your life and death completely in the hands of an uncertain person? This is too risky. By the way, how are your arrows being sharpened? Can you sharpen 150 arrows in another five days?"

"No problem!" Yue Linlang and Lu Dunren responded in unison.

"Mr. Ge, how is the progress of your crossbow modification? There are still five days left. Can you complete the modification of five crossbows?" Ruan Qingqing turned his gaze to Zhuge Hong.

"That's fine with me!"

"I'm counting on you guys!"
