The strongest engineering student in ancient times

Before the sixth prince and others got off the carriage, they finally heard what the people were doing:

"Let me buy it first. I'll buy it first. I've been waiting for several days just to buy some bows and crossbows so I can go out. I really can't waste time."

"Don't squeeze, there are bows and crossbows every day. Didn't our county magistrate say that as long as the people in Shuixi County have a house deed and land deed, they can buy bows and crossbows, and they won't be sold out!"

"Don't lie, now that bows and crossbows are available in the county government, there is only one grocery store in Xishui Town, and there is no other place to sell them. This bow and crossbow is a weapon that can repel the Xida army. It's so good The weapon must be very rare! I tried to buy it several times before, but I couldn’t buy it. I said that the owner of the bow and crossbow didn’t sell it.”

The Sixth Prince and the others all remember that the most important purpose of their coming here is to see what a crossbow and a crossbow are.

But now the common people know that the county yamen sells them. As a weapon, this bow and crossbow is sold in the yamen so casually?

Both the Sixth Prince and General Qian twitched their lips. If they were in the Central Plains, they would have been shut down if they dared to sell weapons in broad daylight. However, Shuixi County is located on the border of Yannan Kingdom, and they are often harassed by various horse bandits, bandits, and bandits. If it is still restricted that the people are not allowed to carry weapons, then the people here will really become lambs waiting to be slaughtered without the power to restrain the chickens.

Although it was allowed to make weapons privately here, they still didn't expect that even the county magistrate would dare to sell weapons directly.

The sixth prince waited until one or two hundred people outside finally bought the bows and crossbows and left before getting out of the carriage.

The yamen servants were cleaning up the booth at the moment, when they saw the sixth prince and the others, they reminded:

"The bows and crossbows are sold out today. If you want to buy them, bring your own house deed and land deed tomorrow. Each household can only buy three sets of crossbows at most."

The Sixth Prince and General Qian turned dark, took out their tokens and said:

"We came from the capital to see the magistrate of Shuixi County."

The yamen servants had just wanted to criticize these thugs from the capital for their boldness, but they were messing around at the gate of the county yamen.But fortunately, it suddenly occurred to me that the county magistrate said some time ago that there should be imperial envoys coming soon to ask them to pay more attention.Calculate the time, it should be this time.

They took a closer look at General Qian and the Sixth Prince, and the aura was really unusual.

So he hurried in and reported it to County Magistrate Xiao.

……

In the back hall of the yamen, County Magistrate Xiao hurriedly asked the Sixth Prince and General Qian to take their seats, but he also sat down cautiously.

County magistrate Xiao did not expect that this time, a prince with such a high status came, and there were also generals and senior officials of the fifth rank. In front of them, this small official, county magistrate Xiao, was probably not as high as their guards.

County magistrate Xiao was busy serving tea, but he respectfully asked the sixth prince if he was here to deal with the Xida army. .

The Sixth Prince and General Qian had already been distracted by the tricycle and the crossbow before. They almost forgot that County Magistrate Xiao had mentioned that many Xida troops had been captured, as well as the fifth prince of Xida.

The sixth prince didn't want to ask too eagerly about the bow and crossbow, so as not to be seen through, so he said to County Magistrate Xiao:

"Where is Xida Army?"

County Magistrate Xiao said embarrassingly:

"This...may require the prince to move...I'll ask someone to prepare the car."

It has been four or five months since Shangzhezi came to the imperial envoy. County magistrate Xiao couldn't let the Xida army eat food for free, but he couldn't think of what to do with them. Fortunately, Wei Qing and Qi Yibai had an idea .

After County Magistrate Xiao brought the Sixth Prince and the others to the door, he saw a tricycle appearing. Magistrate Xiao asked the Sixth Prince to ride on the tricycle, which would save time.

The Sixth Prince and the others were already very surprised by the tricycle, but when they saw the chairs in the back seat of the tricycle, they really wanted to ask.It could be seen that County Magistrate Xiao's restrained appearance, they still held back, put on a calm posture, and stepped on the wooden steps to the back seat of the tricycle.

County Magistrate Xiao saw that the Sixth Prince and the others were so calm, he thought in his heart that he was indeed an adult from the capital city, and indeed he had a lot of knowledge, so he was sure of such miraculous things as tricycles.

County magistrate Xiao naturally didn't notice that after the sixth prince and the others got on the tricycle, they secretly clung to the handrails on both sides. When the tricycle drove smoothly, they all breathed a sigh of relief. It's a bit bumpy, but it's about the same as a carriage, and magistrate Xiao doesn't know what kind of chair is in the back seat, it's unbelievably soft. When they sat down just now, if they didn't have enough concentration, they must have lost their etiquette It's a shame.

General Qian and Qiu Shilang also suppressed their doubts, but the sixth prince didn't speak, so they naturally had no choice but to hold back.

I want to discuss it when no one is around.

For example, now, they all feel that County Magistrate Xiao is playing tricks, and just say where the Xida soldiers are being held. Why do they have to take this tricycle to see it? County Magistrate Xiao must be showing off on purpose!They felt that they couldn't show surprise. Even though they really wanted to know why the tricycle could move by itself, they still pursed their lips tightly in case they accidentally asked.

General Qian and the others felt that they had acted calmly enough, but after burning incense, when they saw thousands of Xida troops repairing the road, they were almost so shocked that their eyes popped out.

The county magistrate Xiao actually asked the Xida Army to build the road?Aren't you afraid that these Xida troops will suddenly rebel and kill the supervising army and escape?

County magistrate Xiao is really too big-hearted, such a big hidden danger can never be imagined.

When they got off the tricycle, General Qian finally couldn't help but said:

"Magistrate Xiao, although the Xida army should indeed let them do it, but you have to remember that the Xida army is very cunning and can't be negligent, otherwise it will cause a catastrophe!"

County Magistrate Xiao naturally understood what General Qian meant, and hurriedly explained:

"Master Qian, don't worry, the Fifth Prince Xida is still in our hands. If they don't dare to escape, even if they run back, it will be a dead end. It's better to stay here, and we can guarantee three meals a day. Besides, we still have a powerful man in our hands." weapons, they cannot escape."

At this moment, General Qian finally felt that he could ask something, and said directly:

"Are you talking about crossbows?"

When General Qian asked this question, the Sixth Prince and Qiu Shilang also pricked up their ears, wanting to hear County Magistrate Xiao talk about bows and crossbows, but County Magistrate Xiao shook his head and said:

"It's not a bow and crossbow, but a weapon called a wooden spear. As long as it hits someone, there is almost no salvation, only death. Please see, my lords, what they carry on their backs is what the lower official said. gun."

The Sixth Prince and General Qian hurriedly looked at the long stick-like existence on the supervisor's back, and had more doubts in their hearts.

What kind of weapon is this!Hit and die?It's just a stick that looks a little weird, so if you get hit by it, you will die?

General Qian felt that this was completely impossible, but he couldn't eagerly ask County Magistrate Xiao how to beat him to death in one go.Wouldn't it be a knock on the head?

The sixth prince didn't ask about the wooden gun either, even though he wanted to ask a lot of doubts in his heart, he still held back and changed the subject:

"Where is the Fifth Prince Xida?"

Xiao county magistrate was even more embarrassed when he heard this, and asked hesitantly:

"My lord, do you want to see the fifth prince right now? Then you may have to go with the officials. My lords are exhausted, why don't you rest for a night, and let the officials bring the fifth prince Xida tomorrow?"

General Qian always felt that there was something strange, so he signaled the sixth prince with his eyes, and the sixth prince also felt that something was wrong, so he simply said:

"No problem, let's go now."
