Chapter 254 Looking for Miraculous Skills(2/2)
The officers and soldiers at the front were calling Shuanzi's name, and Shuanzi said to Zhang Yuan: "Boss, when I catch them this time, I will definitely interrogate the whereabouts of the ground dragon."
Zhang Yuan looked at him: "Do you still remember?"
"Don't you remember, boss?" Shuanzi asked, and then said bitterly, "It was because of him that you were harmed to this extent, and I will never forget it."
After saying that, he stopped staying and urged his horse to follow the officers and soldiers.
Zhang Yuan stood there and watched, his expression becoming complicated.
"I don't remember being harmed to such an extent." He said to himself, his dazed eyes gradually condensed, "What we can't forget is that the case is still open."
With these words, he turned around and ran towards the stable. The next moment he got on his horse and galloped away from the city.
The shouts of the city gate guards behind him were chaotic.
"Zhang Yuan, you escaped again -"
…
…
The imperial city campus was filled with officials. Compared to the last time, it could be said to be a huge crowd.
Who wouldn’t want to see with their own eyes a wooden bird that can carry people flying?
"I still want to sit on it." An official said, holding his gray beard, "I haven't flown yet."
These words made everyone around laugh.
Although people may laugh at wishful thinking when they hear that they want to fly, but in fact, who doesn’t want to try flying?
Not only the emperor was on the high platform over there, but the queen and the concubines and princesses in the harem were also here, curiously pointing at the wooden birds in the field.
"But today is not to show that you can fly." Consort Liu said to the emperor, queen and concubines, "It is to demonstrate the power of shooting. It may not look good."
Of course the emperor didn't care whether it looked good or not, and asked: "Does someone need to carry a bow and arrow up there?"
While we were talking, the skinny handyman from last time was climbing onto the wooden bird.
We already knew before that this was a specially selected person who was thin and light in weight. Naturally, he was not a good soldier because he was so short. He had never even held an arrow.
Even if such a person can fly in the world, the arrows he shoots will not threaten anyone.
Prince Consort Liu said: "No, it's a repeating crossbow added to the wooden bird. It doesn't require the operator to have arm strength or archery skills. As long as the operator can pull the mechanism, he can shoot heavy arrows."
The emperor was overjoyed. He looked at the plate armor that had been erected in the field and hurriedly urged: "Hurry up and try it out."
Consort Liu immediately waved his hand to the audience.
As everyone watched, the wooden bird rushed up the slope, then staggered and flew up amidst countless exclamations.
Those who had never seen it before were shocked that the wooden bird could really fly. Those who had seen it before were staring at the plate armor on the ground. Willow Prince Consort waved his hand again. The servant lying on the wooden bird did not know what he had done, and saw a sudden shot from under the belly of the bird.
Three crossbow arrows shot into the plate armor on the ground with a continuous sound.
Immediately behind the plate armor, a guard stood up, raised his plate armor and shouted.
"Penetrate!"
There were louder cheers on the school grounds, especially from the generals.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations to Zhou for getting this artifact!" they shouted excitedly.
The emperor standing on the high platform laughed and asked Huo Lian beside him: "How is this bird's archery skills better than yours?"
Huo Lian said: "I am as good as the minister."
The emperor laughed again: "That's really awesome!"
Huo Lian nodded and looked at the wooden bird that was falling on the ground.
Yes, it's amazing, even rough skills can do this, but I don't know how far the real Momen skills can reach.

…
The sun was shining brightly on the earth, and an inn stood on the official road outside a small town.
I don't know whether it's because the place is remote or because the sunlight today is too dazzling. There are no pedestrians on the road and the door of the inn is closed. Only the cover in front of the door is swaying in the wind.
As a group of dozens of soldiers and horses appeared on the road, the dazzling sunlight became a little dim.
The leader, whose face was half covered by his hat, suddenly waved the knife in his hand, and the soldiers behind him rushed towards the inn like a tide. The horses' hooves trampled, the ground trembled, and the inn in his sight seemed to rise and fall, as if it would break into pieces at the next moment.
The wall of the inn seemed to have really broken into pieces, and a strange wooden frame stretched out. The next moment, a cold light flashed in the leader's sight.
A strong wind blew up from the plains, and it seemed as if it was carrying ghosts crying. Arrows as dense as rain came from all over the place.
The leader felt his body go numb, and he swung his long sword forward and hurriedly moved backward.
"Back off——"
"Back off——"
Accompanied by the roar, the horses neighed, some soldiers and horses moved backward, some soldiers and horses were unable to recover and collided with each other, and some soldiers and horses rolled and fell to the ground.
The army formation that originally came like a flood instantly became chaotic.
In the quiet inn, a girl's cheers rang out.
