Chapter 878 You Are My Family
The next day, early in the morning.
Shen Shuyi received the news that Chaotang and Mo Yu had sent the bed crossbow, so Shen Shuyi quickly called Xie Jingchi to go and see it together.
Just as Shen Shuyi and Mo Yu had imagined before, the things were disassembled when they were delivered, so their appearance could not be seen for the time being.
However, having said that, because it was something sent from the capital, it still attracted a lot of attention from the soldiers.
"What is this? How do you use it? Those spikes on it look powerful."
"I don't know. I heard it's called a chariot crossbow. It's said to be very powerful."
"..."
The group discussed enthusiastically, while Mo Yu and the craftsmen began to send people to assemble it.
The Huwei Army had already prepared the missing parts because the imperial court had already sent someone to convey the message.
Xie Jingchi looked at the thing and asked, "Is this the chariot crossbow?"
Shen Shuyi nodded: "Yes, they can attack or defend. The number does not need to be too large. As long as three or five are lined up in front of the formation, they will have great power and deterrence."
Apart from anything else, this thing is extremely lethal when it pierces the enemy.
The point is, even if the other side wants to kill the soldiers on the crossbow chariot, it will be difficult to do so. If someone comes to support, the enemy will surely be severely damaged.
Not long after, the chariot crossbow was installed, and the deputy general named Qiu Rong immediately commanded several people to go up and try it out.
After a while, everyone saw the crossbow moving.
However, the few of them didn't coordinate well at the beginning and couldn't control the direction well, but even so, the chariot crossbow was very aggressive and moved at a very fast speed.
"What a wonderful idea." Xie Jingchi praised it generously.
The two watched for a while and saw Qiu Rong giving instructions and selecting several teams of soldiers who had already started training. Only then did Shen Shuyi and Xie Jingchi leave.
"How do you feel today?" Shen Shuyi asked.
"It's okay." Xie Jingchi held her hand and never let go: "Accompany me to the city wall to take a look. Yuan Xia'an has been in peace for a few days. Maybe he will send troops in the next two days."
Shen Shuyi nodded: "Mr. Liancheng's herbs are almost ready. They should be ready for use in the next two days."
Xie Jingchi nodded: "I will discuss with the prince later and decide when to make the plan."
Shen Shuyi didn't say anything else, but just accompanied him on the city wall and looked into the distance for a while.
The wind and sand were strong in Liangzhou, which was a bit blinding, but even so, Shen Shuyi could still see Yuan Xia's army from afar, stationed a few hundred meters outside Liangzhou city.
The tents there almost formed a small hill, and one could vaguely see Yuan Xia's battle flags fluttering in the wind.
The Yuanxia army is stationed here with a covetous eye, which is really unsettling.
But just like the battle between Daqian and Luo State, there will also be a deadly battle with heavy casualties between Yuanxia and Daqian.
Either one side defeats the other and tears a piece of flesh off the other, or both sides are defeated and have no strength to fight again, and have to recuperate.
Besides, neither side will give up easily.
But now, Luo State has tied up most of Daqian's military forces, and Yuanxia will never miss this opportunity.
"After we defeat Yuan Xia, we will return to Beijing." Xie Jingchi spoke softly, not knowing what he was thinking about.
Shen Shuyi didn't care: "It's the same wherever you are. Now you are my family."
Xie Jingchi was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at her, a little dazed.
Shen Shuyi also retracted his gaze and smiled at him: "What's wrong?"
Xie Jingchi shook his head: "Let's go, I guess we'll be busy these few days. If you feel bored, just wander around."
Shen Shuyi asked, "Can we go and watch the soldiers train?"
She had participated in these things in her previous life, but it was never like today, facing the enemy's army, nor was it like today, where she could have direct contact with the army.
What's more, Xiao Tingshan was always on guard against her at that time. No matter what he wanted to see or do, he would always be lectured.
"Of course, you can go wherever you want with my token, but there are mostly men in the camp, so you should bring a few more people with you when you travel." Xie Jingchi instructed.
After all, he knew best the character of those men who spent their days fighting between life and death in the military training grounds.
Shen Shuyi took the token and looked at it carefully: "Thank you, sir."
The two men came down from the city wall and walked back together. However, before they had gone too far, Xie Jingchi keenly sensed that someone was following them secretly.
He gave Ye Lan a wink, and Ye Lan immediately turned into a ghost, intending to deal with the group of people.
However, the other party was well prepared.
Not only are there a lot of people, but there are also several experts among them, and they also carry poison powder.
Ye Lan's movements were restricted and after entangled a few people, the other group of people saw that the situation was not good and simply stopped hiding. Regardless of being on the street, they rushed out directly.
Xie Jingchi moved very quickly, pulling Shen Shuyi back quickly.
But the group of people still came straight towards them. Shen Shuyi frowned, thinking that these flies were really endless!
Seeing a powerful broadsword swung towards Xie Jingchi, Shen Shuyi raised his sleeve and an arrow shot out, hitting the opponent in the chest.
The other party obviously didn't expect this to happen. After he paused, the knife in his hand slowly fell to the ground, and then he fainted.
Shen Shuyi said coldly: "It seems to be directed at you."
"Yeah." Xie Jingchi was not surprised by this and just carefully protected Shen Shuyi.
Fortunately, in a place like Liangzhou, Shen Shuyi and Xie Jingchi would not be arrogant. They brought a lot of people with them, and there were many experts among them.
Therefore, the other party was unable to gain any benefits for a while.
Wu Zheng was confused and didn't understand why the Sixth Prince was determined to kill Xie Jingchi. Although he knew that Xie Jingchi was not good at martial arts, the Third Prince had not been able to get rid of him at the beginning, which showed how difficult this man was.
Wu Zheng and Fu Guang were fighting each other, and their eyes were always on the direction of Xie Jingchi.
He was hesitating about leading his men to retreat first, but he found that a group of people of unknown origin had joined in. Although he did not know where these people came from, it was obvious that their target was the same as his, namely Xie Jingchi and Shen Shuyi!
Wu Zheng hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and decided to continue the assassination.
After all, there are not many opportunities to get help from others. Xie Jingchi and Shen Shuyi are surrounded by many experts. Now that they have help from others, their chances of winning are the greatest.
Thinking of this, Wu Zheng quickened his movements, and while his men were holding back a few masters, he swung his sword straight at Xie Jingchi's face.
Xie Jingchi pulled Shen Shuyi to the side to avoid it, but at this moment, a sharp arrow was shot towards Shen Shuyi from the restaurant on the second floor diagonally opposite!
Shen Shuyi looked up and wanted to hide, but it was too late.
More importantly, if she dodged, the sharp arrow would hit Xie Jingchi.
But at that moment, Xie Jingchi pulled her into his arms, and they both spun around to avoid the arrow, but the arrow split into two, one shot in the direction just now, and the other went straight into Xie Jingchi's shoulder.
