C180 hunting(5)

In her previous life, she had learned a lot about cold weapons, such as long and short knives and daggers, as well as some small hidden weapons and darts. She didn't spend much time on the practice of shooting, but her long term shooting training made her accuracy very high. Although she didn't have a gun in this era, she would think of a way to finish it by herself.

She stretched out her hand and a compound crossbow appeared. She took a bowstring and loaded it with arrows. She pulled on the lookout mountain with her hook and put the arrow into the slot.

Xiao Yi Xiu looked at her in surprise. He knew what she was doing, but he didn't expect her to be designing this crossbow.

Of course, he had seen crossbows before, and there were no lack of crossbows on the battlefield. However, he had seen crossbows, ballista beds, and even the smallest crossbow needed a strong arm to move it.

There were also countless skilled craftsmen who spent great effort in order to reduce the weight of the crossbows to the point where even ordinary soldiers could freely swing them. However, the end result was that the crossbows' power would be greatly reduced and their range would become closer.

He had never thought that someone would already be able to make such a delicate and light crossbow. Furthermore, Gu Qing Li was still loading arrows. This small and exquisite crossbow could actually fill up five arrows.

"Is this really okay?"

"En, it is easier than a bow. The accuracy is also fine, but there are always some flaws in shooting crossbows. Firstly, it is more complex to produce, and secondly, there aren't many arrows. Furthermore, the range is closer than a strong composite bow." Gu Qing Li set the arrow back in place and squinted at the sight before smiling at him.

"What is this?" After landing behind the hunting team, Xiao Yi Mo noticed the crossbow in Gu Qing Li's hand.

"Arm crossbow."

"You have such a light crossbow? Even rabbits can't hit it, right? " Xiao Yi Mo ridiculed him.

Gu Qingli swept him a cold glance. "My crossbow doesn't shoot rabbits." She clamped the horse's belly tightly and moved forward, feeling both disgust and disgust at the sound of Xiaoyi Mo's laughter behind her.

Gu Qingruo, who was running alongside Jingyuan, turned her head just in time to see Xiaoyi Mo smile wantonly at Gu Qingli's back. There was actually a hint of admiration in her eyes.

The hatred in her heart suddenly ignited as she involuntarily bit her lower lip.

"Esteemed wangfei, don't be angry. I'll help you tease her." Jing Yuan could see the jealousy in Gu Qingruo's heart as she whispered to her.

Gu Qingruo turned around and smiled elegantly at her. With a single move of her hands, she gracefully walked into the house of a noble lady. She gently said, "Many thanks to the princess, but she's still my younger sister. Forget it."

Jing Yuan's face was full of righteousness, and she said angrily, "Can Sister Ye really do this? To seduce your brother-in-law in public is too shameless. " Clearly, she had also seen the smile on Xiao Yimo's face as she chatted with Gu Qing Li.

Gu Qingruo didn't make a sound. She only lowered her head, looking even more wronged and meek. However, she was sneering in her heart. She had already meticulously prepared using sabers to kill people. She had been waiting for this foolish princess to step in step after step.

Princess Lan Xun glanced at Gu Qing Li from the corner of her eyes before landing on the compound crossbow in her hands.

After entering the hunting grounds, the guards helped the princes to put on their buckles, and handed them their bows and arrows. Even Gu Qingruo took out a willow bamboo bow and tested its accuracy.

Jing Yuan was also a light bow like her, and Princess Lan Xun held a wooden bow in her hand. It made people involuntarily glance at her a few times.

Xiao Yijin's gaze was only following the fake princess, Jing Yuan, and didn't notice this. However, Xiao Yiyan noticed it. After all, Princess Lan Xun had always been on the same level as him, and she even teased him from time to time.

"Why do you use such a heavy bow?" With caution in his heart, he did not directly ask why a palace maid would use such a precious bow.

"Oh …" Princess Lan Xun lowered her head to glance at it. "This was originally a princess' bow, but after arriving in the Eastern Abyss, she might not be able to handle the situation. She felt her body weak and weak, so she switched bows with this servant."

"Hmm, can you move it?" Xiao Yiyan questioned.

Princess Lan Xun smiled but didn't say anything. She suddenly drew her bow and nocked an arrow, shooting far away. With a whoosh, she shot the first arrow of the hunt!

And their distance from the nearest wild beast was only five hundred to six hundred feet, while her arrow was aimed at a deer at the very front, penetrating its body with shocking precision, and had a range that was almost at the limit of an arrow.

This time, everyone's eyes were focused on the young palace maid. Even Xiao Yijin, who hadn't paid attention to her, couldn't help but take a glance at her. He discovered that the palace maid next to the princess was also stunning.

Princess Lan Xun glanced at Xiao Yiyan with some complacency, and saw astonishment and admiration flowing through Xiao Yiyan's eyes.

However, very quickly, another arrow was shot from behind, followed by a series of consecutive shots. Within the five beads, three prey had fallen: a deer, a deer, and a rabbit.

Princess Lan Xun didn't expect someone to steal her limelight. Her face instantly paled as she lifted her gaze to the source of the sound. She saw Gu Qing Li calmly and unperturbedly lift up a mountain and continue to shoot arrows.

Gu Qingli knew that she couldn't practice archery in one day, but she was very accurate. She was very confident in herself.

The guards had long since moved their horses forward to pick up the prey and count them. The three arrows that Gu Qingli had shot had already passed through their bodies. It was clear how powerful the crossbows were.

"How far can your crossbow reach?" Xiao Yi Mo asked in shock.

Gu Qingli just smiled and didn't answer.

"Who made it?"

Gu Qing Li cast a sidelong glance at him and smiled. "Prince Mu is too concerned about this. Why don't you go and see if Big Sis has hit any prey?"

Gu Qingruo stood at the front, her face green. She held onto Liu Zhu's bow, unwilling to look back. How could she still have the mood to shoot?

Since Xiao Yi Mo couldn't get an answer from him, he naturally left as well. The eight of them finally began to pull apart, making it easier for them to shoot.

"This crossbow is not bad. If we can mass-produce it, it will be useful in war."

Gu Qing Li looked at Xiao Yi Xiu's thoughtful expression and laughed. "It's not easy to make the crossbow, and the cost is too high. I don't have the time to slowly fill the quiver for you on the battlefield."

"That's right, this is indeed a weak point of the crossbow." Xiao Yi Xiu sighed softly.

"But I can improve it on the bed of crossbows and crossbows, so that the large crossbows can be fired continuously."

Xiao Yi Xiu's eyes lit up, but a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes. "Qing Li, we are husband and wife. We should have loved each other without a doubt. "Not to mention that the things that you know are all books that the Prime Minister's Estate learned. If Gu Zhaoran is so knowledgeable, I'm afraid that the Xiao Dynasty has already changed their surname."

Gu Qingli pursed her lips and smiled at him, then said softly, "I fell from the sky. You caught me accidentally."

Xiao Yi Xiu knew that she was still unwilling to say it out loud, so he could only smile and shake his head. She definitely wouldn't hide anything that could be said. Since she didn't say anything, there must be a reason.

"It's good that you managed to catch it. I'm glad that you fell from the sky into my bosom and didn't fall to anyone else." It didn't matter where she came from, as long as he held her tightly in his arms.

Gu Qingli quietly smiled, her eyes filled with drunkenness.
