Female-to-male: I live on farming

Chapter 116 Such a Magical Weapon

Gu Lanxi was wearing a white-collared brocade dress with a silver pattern. Large lotus patterns were faintly visible on the white dress. The narrow cuffs were embroidered with golden clouds, and around her waist was a vermilion white jade belt with a white jade waist pendant, which showed her elegant temperament.

Jinyang took the lead and was the first to dismount sideways.

After getting off the horse, she slowly walked to Gu Lanxi's horse, grabbed the reins of the red warhorse, and stretched out her hand to Gu Lanxi who was sitting high on the horse.

The whole place suddenly fell silent, and everyone was looking at this scene in surprise.

Even Gu Lanxi showed surprise in her eyes, and for a moment she didn't know how to react.

But Jinyang did not give her the space to refuse. His dark eyes locked onto her tightly, and he said softly, "Lanxi, come here."

In her dark pupils, Gu Lanxi saw his own figure. Her eyes were all about her. There was no room for anything else in Gu Lanxi's mind, and he couldn't help but put his hand in hers.

He slid off the horse following her force.

After Jin Yang picked her up, he did not let go of her hand. He swept his eyes over the crowd and led her to the stands of the martial arts training ground. Her movements were smooth and her expression was natural, but Gu Lanxi gradually lost her mind as she looked at her back.

She is...

Everyone who was swept by Jinyang's majestic and indifferent eyes lowered their heads and looked away, with a myriad of thoughts in their minds.

You must know that in Liangzhou, the eldest princess is the most honorable person, and everyone must be respectful in front of her. However, such a noble woman openly serves a commoner in front of her subordinates and shows her favoritism in front of everyone.

She was indirectly telling everyone about her preference for Gu Lanxi. Whoever met Gu Lanxi in the future would consider their attitude towards her.

Qin Ke, who was following behind the eldest princess, slowly raised the corners of his lips in a corner where no one was paying attention, with a smile and admiration in his eyes.

She is worthy of being the brilliant and talented Princess. Not everyone has such courage and determination.

You have to know that in the relatively open past, there were very few people who dared to admit their sexual orientation in person, let alone in this era of strict feudal ethics.

There were not many people in the martial arts arena. They were all trustworthy people who had followed the eldest princess for many years. Qin Ke noticed that the way they looked at the eldest princess was both respectful and admiring.

"Okay, let me see how powerful these weapons are. An Yi, let's start." Jin Yang held Gu Lanxi tightly with one hand and put the other hand behind his back.

Qin Ke had told Xiao Anyi how to use the crossbow long before, so Xiao Anyi himself was the first person responsible for experimenting with these crossbows.

Xiao Anyi stood steadily in the front of the venue, his body straight as a pine tree, holding the crossbow in his left hand and lightly controlling the crossbow with his right hand, as if he had become one with the crossbow.

He narrowed his eyes slightly and took aim at the target. Time seemed to stand still at this moment. In an instant, he pulled the trigger without hesitation. The crossbow arrow shot out like lightning, with a sound of breaking wind, and shot straight towards the target and hit it instantly.

After the crossbow arrow was shot, even Xiao Anyi looked at the crossbow in his hand with some disbelief.

A moment later, a private soldier trotted over with a target, saluted, and shouted, "General, the crossbow arrow hit the target, but it went through the bull's eye, so the arrow was not on the target."

Qin Ke smiled with satisfaction. You know, the range and accuracy of the crossbow far exceeds the current bow and arrow, and it is a very lethal weapon. On the battlefield, archers can rely on the long-range strike capability of the crossbow to accurately and effectively kill the enemy, thus gaining an advantageous position in the battle.

At this time, Xiao Anyi looked down at the crossbow in his hand and ordered, "Move the target farther away."

The private immediately took the order.

Xiao Anyi aimed at the target again and pulled the trigger. This time she shot several arrows in succession.

She was someone who marched and fought, and the crossbow could fire multiple times in a short period of time, so she naturally knew what that meant.

After experiments, it was found that the range of the crossbow can reach 600 meters. This range is several times longer than that of traditional bows and arrows, making the crossbow a powerful weapon for long-range strikes on the battlefield. It can inflict a fatal blow before the enemy gets close. It is simply a magical weapon for long-range attacks on the battlefield.

"Lift up the crossbow bed." Xiao Anyi was in high spirits at this time, and shouted while raising his right hand.

This time, Qin Ke made two types of crossbows, one was the individual crossbow just mentioned, and the other was a large crossbow bed.

Compared with a single-soldier crossbow, the crossbow bed is much larger and requires several soldiers to lift it up, and the bed crossbow is usually operated by dozens or even hundreds of people.

Even the arrows were more than one meter long. This time, Xiao Anyi just stood by and gave orders.

Following Xiao Anyi's command, the soldiers quickly climbed onto the crossbow bed, loaded the crossbow arrows into the crossbow, and tightened the bowstring. The crossbow bed then made a "creaking" sound, and the bowstring was taut and full of tension. After releasing the bowstring, the crossbow arrow flew out like lightning.

The arrow disappeared into the distance, out of everyone's sight.

This time, Xiao Anyi personally led people to measure the power of the crossbow. When he came back, he was obviously much more excited. When he reported to Jinyang, he could not hide his surprise.

"Your Highness, after measurement, the crossbow has a range of a thousand meters and is incredibly powerful, enough to penetrate the strongest shields and armor."

Jinyang's eyes fell on the crossbows, and her heart was surging, unable to calm down for a long time. She knew that with such weapons, the army's combat effectiveness could be greatly improved, and it could also strike others by surprise.

Xiao Anyi continued to report with his head down: "Your Highness, I have just personally tested it. The operation of a single-soldier crossbow is very simple. Soldiers only need a short training to master the use of the crossbow. This greatly reduces the difficulty and time of military training. Moreover, the accuracy of the crossbow is much more accurate than that of the bow and arrow."

"Bring one here. I want to try it myself."

"Yes."

Jinyang held the crossbow tightly, feeling the texture and weight of the crossbow. He placed his finger lightly on the trigger, aimed at the target and pulled the trigger. The crossbow arrow instantly hit the center of the bull's eye.

A barely perceptible smile appeared on her face, and her eyes revealed a satisfied look. She stroked the crossbow arrows slowly with her fingers, and instructed Xiao Anyi: "You select some soldiers to form a crossbow arrow team. The crossbow arrows and crossbow beds will be strictly guarded. The factories that make crossbow arrows will also have strict controls. There must not be any slackness or carelessness. All links involved in the production of crossbow arrows must be closely monitored."

"Subordinates take orders."

It was rare for Qin Ke to see the eldest princess smile. Ever since the news that His Majesty wanted to grant the marriage came, the eldest princess's face had become gloomy. Even Gu Lanxi was in a bad mood, which made Qin Ke frightened every time he went to the eldest princess's mansion recently.

Now she is better and she can finally smile again.
