"General Shan, don't you go and see His Majesty first?"
Just when Shan Xiongxin was shuddering at his idea, someone beside him reminded him in a low voice: This is the time to express loyalty.
When Shan Xiongxin heard this, he couldn't help but frown.
Glancing at the people surrounding Wang Shichong with disgust, he shook his head and said, "No need!"
"But, the courtesy of a monarch and his ministers..."
The general who had just reminded Shan Xiongxin did not take him seriously and wanted to persuade him again, but was unexpectedly interrupted by him with a wave of his hand.
"Your Majesty, everything is fine! It is more important to find out the sharp weapon just now!" Shan Xiongxin said decisively. Seeing this, the general could only shake his head and said nothing more.
Of course everyone knows that Wang Shichong is fine!
But this did not prevent a group of people from gathering around him to ask for help.
Just like the girls in the brothel, they express their admiration and loyalty to their patrons.
Wang Shichong, who had just escaped from hell, also understood this truth, but he did not refuse, or in other words, he had no intention to think about it!
Watching the shielded guard with clear front and back being dragged down the city wall.
Shan Xiongxin couldn't even imagine what he would be like now without Shan Xiongxin's kick just now!
"Almost, really almost..."
Sitting up from the ground, Wang Shichong glanced at the place where the arrow disappeared with lingering fear. Wang Shichong felt that he did not even have the courage to stand up.
Who knows if this thing will happen again? It would be safer to hide the body under the protection of the city wall.
"General Shan, what was that just now?"
With a dry throat, Wang Shichong saw Shan Xiongxin still standing at the top of the city and couldn't help but ask.
Shan Xiongxin hesitated after hearing this, then turned to Wang Shichong and cupped his hands and said: "In reply to Your Majesty, it should be a crossbow arrow, but its power is a bit ridiculous..."
"Did Li Shimin shoot this from the city?" Wang Shichong asked with some difficulty.
Even now, he still would rather believe that this is Li Shimin's masterpiece than believe that there is a weapon in the world that can kill people over many miles!
If there really is such a weapon, the emperor can say that he can stay in the palace compound and not show his face.
But what about those generals? As soon as they showed up, the generals were killed first? Then there was no need to fight this battle!
However, although Wang Shichong hoped that his guess was correct, Shan Xiongxin in front of him still shook his head firmly and said: "This is definitely not what Li Shimin shot! It is impossible for human power to shoot such a crossbow arrow!"
Wang Shichong closed his eyes in pain: "Then where do you think this comes from?"
"Weichen thinks this was shot from the middle of the Tang camp!" Shan Xiongxin answered truthfully.
"Shooted from Tang Camp? General Shan, are you kidding? Tang Camp is at least three miles away from here! Such a long distance, unless that thing has wings and can fly! Otherwise nothing can hit this far."
An old man surrounding Wang Shichong couldn't help but refute what Shan Xiongxin said after hearing it.
He definitely thinks: This Shan Xiongxin is completely nonsense!
In all his life, he had never seen anything that could shoot fifteen hundred steps.
Even if you shoot a stone with a Eight Bull Crossbow, it probably won't fly this far!
However, facing the old man's doubts, Shan Xiongxin was not angry at all.
Not only did the old man not believe what he just said, but he himself found it difficult to accept it.
After the old man's question, the city suddenly became quiet, and no one spoke anymore. They were all waiting for Shan Xiongxin to explain.
However, Shan Xiongxin didn't say anything. He just turned his head silently and looked towards the city.
There was a sound just now, and it seemed that someone had found the missing arrow just now.
Shan Xiongxin's ears were very useful, and the arrow was indeed found.
But when it was delivered to the city, the hard arrow body had broken into several pieces.
After barely blocking the ground and picking it up bit by bit, I could see that it was an extremely thick crossbow arrow.
In other words, it would be more appropriate to call it **!
"Why did it break like this?" someone asked looking at the broken body.
The captain who sent the police up was startled when he heard this and hurriedly said:
"Sir, I heard from the brother who discovered it that this thing fell from the sky and happened to hit the rockery of a government official's house. It bombarded the rockery, which was not a small one, to pieces!
When the hostess who was in the back garden saw it, she thought it was a divine punishment and fainted on the spot!
When she woke up, she ordered the housekeeper to take the servants to kneel down and worship the rockery. It wasn't until the brothers came to the door that these people realized that this was an extremely dangerous murder weapon..."
The captain's words were a bit long-winded. Shan Xiongxin did not listen quietly to what he said. Instead, he observed the gun bit by bit. He also reached out to take the thick arrow twisted into a twist and weigh it in his hand.
The arrow is very heavy! Although it has been twisted out of shape, the dazzling luster of the arrow body still makes people believe that this is definitely a good piece of material.
Putting the arrowhead on the ground, Shan Xiongxin casually took out Xiaobing's waist knife, rounded it, and slashed it towards the arrowhead with one sharp blow!
I heard a loud "clang" sound.
Looking at the ground again, the waist knife has long been broken into two pieces, but the arrow on the ground only has a gap the size of a grain of rice. If you don't look carefully, you can't see it at all!
"Huh? There's a word on it, it's the word "xiao"?"
Shan Xiongxin's movements naturally attracted the attention of many people. When someone was looking at the gap, they suddenly discovered that next to it, there was a small character that was also twisted with the arrow. After identifying it, they recognized that it was a Xiao.
Character!
"Was it built by a craftsman named Xiao?"
The believer Shan Xiong reminded him that he also discovered this word. He picked up the arrow, looked at it carefully for a while, then walked up to Wang Shichong and said:
"Your Majesty, the person who can create such a thing is definitely not an unknown person! Do any of us know if there is a great craftsman named Xiao among the people of the Tang Dynasty?"
Facing Shan Xiongxin's inquiry, Wang Shichong looked a little confused.
He is the emperor, how could he have heard of a lowly craftsman?
"Have you heard about Yunqing's family?" After thinking about it, Wang Shichong turned his eyes to a fat old man next to him.
The slightly fat old man saw that everyone was focusing on him, so he cupped his hands and recalled:
"Back to Your Majesty, this... I seem to have heard that a great craftsman named Xiao was indeed born in the Tang Dynasty! I heard that this man had extraordinary talents in medicine, armaments, and farming! I just don't know what this thing is.
It was not made by him."
"A genius?" Upon hearing this, Shan Xiongxin touched the thick, twist-like arrow and said solemnly: "Whether it is or not, we should figure this out! If they have a lot of such sharp weapons, then we should do it as soon as possible.
Figure out a way to deal with it!”
Wang Shichong gritted his teeth and nodded: "Then send the agents out, no matter what method we use, we must find out this matter!"
