Chapter 355: Three Killer Weapons
"Yunting, look who your father brought you! Ding ding ding, it's Junjun and Meimei!" Xiao Jingxuan placed two parrots tied with pink bows in front of Nangong Yunting.
Xiao Yunting, who is more than eight months old, lay on the cushion, looked at the two colorful birds in front of him, and stretched out his hand and exerted force.
“Ah!!” Junjun screamed miserably: “The feathers have been plucked! The little bastard has plucked the feathers! This is a murder!!”
Xiao Yunting was so scared that his eyes widened, and then he started giggling, as if he found it very funny.
Junjun flew away quickly, but seeing Meimei still standing there in a daze, he flew back and pecked Meimei.
“Go, go, go, go!!!” The voice was filled with fear of the human cub.
Meimei woke up as if from a dream, and hurriedly flew away with Junjun.
Xiao Yunting screamed.
Jamel Xiao laughed: “Don’t be angry, baby, Daddy still has good things here.”
He immediately took out seven eggs, which were parrot eggs.
"In five days at most, they will hatch. Then, make them your friends."
Xiao Yunting's eyes lit up and he wanted to grab the eggs to eat.
"You can't eat this."
"Cub!" Junjun's shrill cry came, it came back to grab the eggs.
"Bird!" Xiao Yunting suddenly made such a sound and looked at Junjun with extremely excited eyes.
Junjun slammed on the brakes in mid-air, turned around and ran away: "No more!"
Xiao Yunting giggled and it flew farther and farther away.
Xiao Jingxuan sent the parrot eggs to Junjun and Meimei's nest.
Then he asked the servants to keep an eye on Xiao Yunting while he went to the horse farm to find Ye Tang.
Ye Tang was practicing horse riding and archery at the stable, and even taking care of the baby didn't allow her to neglect her training.
Ye Tang is always using his good talents to improve his strength and bring his talents to the extreme.
"My beloved!" Xiao Jingxuan shouted as soon as he arrived outside the horse farm.
Ye Tang, who was riding a horse, heard it but did not get distracted. He ran the entire race before stopping, dismounting and running towards Xiao Jingxuan.
"Your Highness!" Ye Tang gave Jamel Xiao a big hug.
The guards and grooms quickly led their horses away, not daring to disturb the two people's intimacy.
"Do you miss me?" Xiao Jingxuan held Ye Tang in his arms.
Ye Tang smiled tenderly: "I do, what about you?"
"I miss you too, very very much, my lady. I came back with Tieshan and the others this time."
Ye Tang was delighted: "Tieshan and the others arrived so quickly."
"Wen Ye's marriage is such a big event, how can they not rush over?"
The couple walked and talked hand in hand, and the setting sun stretched their shadows long.
The Xiao family had no shortage of money now, so after Xiao Wenye won the third place in the imperial examination, he bought a three-story mansion in the capital and hired two servants.
When Xiao Tieshan and his family came, they lived directly at Xiao Wenye's place, while Xiao Wenhai and his group were arranged by Xiao Jingxuan to live in another house.
At noon, after Ye Tang and Xiao Jingxuan finished their breakfast, they went to the villa and saw the things Xiao Wenhai brought to the capital this time.
"This is a repeating crossbow and a bed crossbow, and this is... a black ball? You actually made it! Awesome! Really awesome!" Ye Tang looked at those things in admiration.
Xiao Wenhai scratched his head and laughed, "It's not us who are amazing, it's Grandma Six and Grandpa Six. If it weren't for you and Grandpa Six's teachings, we wouldn't be able to make these things at all."
Ye Tang shook his head: "You don't have to be modest in front of me, you are really amazing."
He has only been exposed to woodworking for a few years, but he can make these things. He is worthy of being a descendant of the Xiao family, the world's number one family in mechanical engineering.
They have the forging talent of the ancient Xiao clan hidden in their bodies. Once the power of their bloodline is stimulated, they will be invincible.
"Husband, when do you plan to enter the palace?" Ye Tang asked.
Jamel Xiao replied: "Today."
"Are you taking Wen Hai and the others with you?"
"Ah."
It’s time for the Xiao clan to show up.
After noon, Ye Tang and his companions brought Xiao Wenhai and his party into the palace.
Ye Tang took the child to the Queen Mother, while Xiao Jingxuan took Xiao Wenhai and his party directly to see Emperor Yuanwu.
Emperor Yuanwu had already received the news and was waiting for Xiao Jingxuan to bring people over.
Seeing Xiao Wenhai and his group, Emperor Yuanwu frowned and asked Xiao Jingxuan: "Is this the surprise you prepared for me?"
Jamel Xiao nodded: “Yes.”
Emperor Yuanwu was puzzled: "They look very ordinary."
Jamel Xiao smiled.
Emperor Yuanwu said angrily: "Stop laughing. If you keep keeping me in suspense, I will get angry and you will not be able to bear the consequences."
"Hehe, Your Majesty, don't be angry. Let me introduce it to you slowly."
He pointed at Xiao Wenhai and his group and said, "They are descendants of the Xiao clan."
Emperor Yuanwu was stunned: "Is it the Xiao clan that I know?"
"Yes." Xiao Jingxuan said.
Emperor Yuanwu narrowed his eyes and looked at him: "Don't tell me, this Xiao clan is the Xiao clan that adopted you, the Xiao clan of the ancient Xiao clan."
"It's the Xiao clan." Xiao Jingxuan knelt on one knee and clasped his hands, saying, "To be honest, Xiao Jianan, who adopted me, is a descendant of the Xiao clan, the world's number one family of mechanical devices, and the last heir of the Xiao clan."
He told everything about Xiao Jianan's hiding in Qingquan Village.
"I didn't say it before because the time was not right and these descendants had not grown up yet. Now is the time. Such a great clan should not be lost in history."
"Your Majesty, the descendants of the Xiao clan have come to see you this time and brought you some gifts."
Xiao Jingxuan gave a wink to Xiao Wenhai and his dozen companions, who understood immediately and hurriedly got up and went outside, instructing the guards to bring in three things covered with red cloth.
"Your Majesty, this is a super-rapid crossbow, an improved version of the rapid-fire crossbow. It can fire fifty arrows in a row. The longest range is two hundred meters, and the strongest range is one hundred and thirty meters."
When Emperor Yuanwu heard what Xiao Wenhai said, he stood up in surprise and asked, "Are you serious?"
The repeating crossbow made by the Han family can fire ten arrows in a row, with a maximum range of one hundred arrows. It has not been improved for many years.
Now, the descendants of the Xiao clan have actually made a super-rapid crossbow that can fire fifty arrows in a row, and its range is two hundred. It is hard for Emperor Yuanwu not to be shocked.
Xiao Wenhai knelt down and said, "I dare not deceive the emperor."
Emperor Yuanwu asked him to stand up and asked, "What are the other two?"
Xiao Wenhai stood up and lifted the red cloth covering the second item, revealing the bed crossbow.
"This is an extra-large crossbow with a maximum range of one thousand meters."
"The last one is a black ball, which can flatten a mountain in an instant."
"Blow up the hill?" Emperor Yuanwu thought he was hallucinating. "How could there be such a magical thing in the world?"
Xiao Jingxuan said: "If the emperor doesn't believe it, you can find a place to try it."
"Okay, I'll give it a try. If these three things really have the miraculous effects you said, I will definitely reward you handsomely."
Emperor Yuanwu summoned the Duke of Protectorate, General Mo, the newly appointed Prime Minister Nie Lang, Su Jing, and five key ministers to go to the royal training ground together.
General Mo tried out the super-rapid crossbow.
Swish, swish, swish, fifty arrows were fired in succession, hitting ten bullseyes two hundred meters away.
Everyone present was amazed.
