Ma'am help, the general is in trouble again

Chapter 35 Free Skills (Part [-])
"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Yu Wensheng's attention is all attracted by Mo Ye's side, and there are not many elite soldiers around him. If we miss this time, it will be even more difficult for us to make a move in the future."

What he said was logical, but there was a kind of aloofness that completely ignored her life and death.

Zheng Quchi was racking his brains to push taxes, but he heard Qiu say, "This assassination will also prove that you never thought of betraying the Mo family."

Her expression froze.

Qiu's eyes were cold, like a mirror-like blood-clotting weapon, without any extra emotion, he could only stick to the order stubbornly.

Her intuition told her that Cho would really kill her if she refused.

People, sometimes you have to know how to adapt and change your thinking, right?

Zheng Quchi looked embarrassed, and secretly comforted himself.

If...you can really kill Yu Wensheng, maybe her current dilemma can be solved easily.

But can it really be killed?
She is not the "Zheng Quru" of the Mo family, this is the first time she has killed someone with a crossbow!

"Let's go."

Qiu turned and walked ahead.

"Wait." Zheng Quchi suddenly called to him, "Do you have any money?"

Qiu turned around: "What do you want money for?"

"Don't worry, give it to me."

Apart from being extremely serious about tasks, Qiu usually acts like a natural idiot, so instead of rejecting her, he gave her the only five copper coins he had.

Zheng Quchi took the money, ran to the opposite pharmacy to inquire about the medicine, and stuffed the medicine bag into his pocket.

Then she ran non-stop to a tailor's shop not far away, and bought the cheapest men's clothes in the shop. When she came out again, she was already an unremarkable little blackie after changing clothes.

Back in the dark alley, she also took out a black cloth towel that she didn't ask for money, and carefully covered her face.

This is all learned from Shan Bian. To be a erwuzi, you must have the consciousness to be a erwuzi. No matter what the situation is, you must protect your vest.

"...You, you failed to imitate Shan Bian." Qiu Zhi looked at her.

Zheng Quchi was noncommittal, and took out another piece of black cloth: "Here, I have prepared one for you, too."

Qiu was stunned for a moment, then stretched out his hand to take it uncertainly, and only after confirming that she was giving it to him, did he lower his head as if he had done something wrong, and muttered, "Thank you..."

-

Qiu has the professionalism to be an assassin, he took a short cut and took a few spots around here in advance, knowing which location is the most suitable for an ambush attack.

Zheng Quchi, like a melon-eating crowd, was taken to a slope by Qiu.

She was asked to find a hidden place to squat down, and watch him tidy up the ground for a while, and use branches to cover the sparse bushes more densely.

Check around for a while to see if there are any suspicious people around.

In the end, he ran down the slope to the dirt road that had been stepped on too much, and set up a trap.

He scattered a handful of sharp, thorny things on the ground, and then used kicked sand to make a simple covering, so that it would not be so obvious to be found.

Zheng Quchi guessed that what he threw might be barbed wire.

In her world, barbed caltrops were an obstacle that existed during the Warring States Period. They were strung together with sharp triangular iron pieces and thrown on the ground could effectively stop soldiers, especially cavalry, from moving.

"I have arranged it."

He jumped up with lightness kung fu, and then stared at Zheng Quchi.

That silently urging look in his eyes was somewhat hair-raising.

Zheng Quchi was stared at by him, and smiled awkwardly and politely: "This crossbow is not what I am used to, so I have to get familiar with it first."

Qiu Wenyan accepted it well, and his eyes softened a little, but he didn't know what to think of, he frowned: "I heard that you are good at Liannu, but I can't find it in Fu County, this one was stolen from the army camp of Ye State You will use the single crossbow."

Judging by his dissatisfied expression, it seems that he dislikes Ye Kingdom for not being able to make a good crossbow, which is really rubbish.

The Mo family is amazing, no matter how rubbish Ye’s military machinery is, at least there is still a live Yan Luo Yuwen Sheng standing on top of it, I’ll make you proud.

Zheng Quchi, who held the household registration of Ye State, consciously entered into the discomfort of our country being belittled by the rebel army.

But after slandering her, she realized that she was also a member of the rebel army, so she resigned herself to picking up the crossbow and began to study it.

For most of the wooden products with information and pictures in ancient and modern times, Zheng Quchi has spent some time researching them.

She has also published papers such as "Review of Ancient Chinese Weapons" and "Review of Cold Weapons in Song and Yuan Dynasties" in national academic journals.

Therefore, she is no stranger to the shape and development history of the crossbow.

The crossbow was first developed in the Spring and Autumn Period during the war period, and it evolved into a copper crossbow in the late Warring States period.

The pulling force, range and power of crossbows are generally stronger than bows, but due to the slow winding speed caused by excessive pulling force, the firing frequency of crossbows is much lower than that of bows.

The crossbow in front of her was made by a craftsman of the Ye Kingdom. It is composed of a crossbow, a crossbow arm and a crossbow mechanism. The sight is called "Wangshan".

She felt uneasy.

When picking up the crossbow, Zheng Quchi thought she would be in a hurry, but the result was beyond her expectation.

Perhaps it was the muscle memory of this body that had been cultivated long ago. She was actually familiar with holding the lower part of the crossbow body with one hand and controlling the trigger with the other.

Qiu Yantong widened slightly: "Every time I look at it, I feel that you, who is holding a crossbow and killing people, are completely different from the usual you."

Not only the eyes, movements, demeanor, but even the breath have become different from usual.

Zheng Quchi was also dumbfounded.

But she was also excited when she thought that she had obtained a powerful skill for no reason. At least in addition to brute force, she would also have an offensive ability to defend herself in the future.

However, she tested Ye Kingdom's crossbow just now, and it was indeed too bad. The mechanical pulling force was laborious, the range was short, and the power was low. She planned to build a modern composite crossbow by herself when she had time.

"There is movement!"

Qiu suddenly changed his face. He lay on the ground and put his ear to the ground to detect the movement.

At this time, he heard Zheng Quchi from above say quietly: "It's less than one mile from here, about thirty fierce horses are coming at a fast speed, and it takes about two cups of tea to reach the trap."

Qiu looked up in amazement, inexplicably amazed.

"Your scouting skills are so good?"

Zheng Quchi was speechless: "You stand up first, and then look at the distance from my direction, won't it be clear at a glance?"

When Qiu heard this, he was stunned.

Realizing that he might have done something stupid, Qiu Ergen was flushed, but his face was still dull and emotionless. He turned around and saw a large number of people galloping from the bushes.

He solemnly said: "When they fall into the trap, you seize the opportunity to make a move."

Zheng Quchi: "Oh."

Da da da—the sound of horseshoes beating the ground like rain, rumbling.

Coming……

Zheng Quchi set up a standard shooting posture, booing and aiming.
