The Legend of Pei Yuanqing of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 252
Seeing Xia Houyuan talking about the power of the peacock crossbow with an expressive expression, Cao Cao was finally moved, his face changed slightly, and Cao Cao became even more curious when he heard that even Liu Bei's general Pei Feng almost died under this continuous crossbow.

If it was an ordinary Liannu or an enhanced Liannu, why would Xia Houyuan recommend it so hard?Xia Houyuan has seen so many weapons and equipment in the battlefield for many years, and now it can be seen how powerful the weapons he eagerly recommends are.

Cao Cao took a deep breath and said in a cold voice, "You mean that Liannu is in the hands of general Lu Ying? Then what are you waiting for? Call Lu Ying and let me see what kind of weapon it is. Hmph, If it’s flashy, Xia Houyuan, go and guard the frontier!”

Xia Houyuan was not afraid of anything but Cao Cao. Looking at Cao Cao's dark face, he couldn't help swallowing, and said bravely, "Don't worry, my lord, you will be absolutely satisfied after reading it!"

"Hmph, it's so long-winded, pass it on to Lu Ying!" Cao Cao's face turned darker.

Xia Houyuan shrank his neck, stopped looking at Cao Cao, and said loudly to the outside of the hall, "Go and summon General Lu Ying, and let him bring his magical weapon, the Liannu!"

"Yes!" The soldiers outside the door hurriedly summoned Lu Ying.

Soon, Lu Ying rushed to the main hall in a hurry, and with a plop, Lu Ying knelt down on the ground, cupped her hands and said solemnly, "The last general, Lu Ying, pays homage to the lord!"

Cao Cao nodded slightly, waved his hands and said, "Well, get up, let me ask you, have you ever brought your magical weapon, the Liannu?"

Lu Ying's heart sank, her face turned pale, the bad feeling in her heart finally came, and she said bitterly, "The end is here!"

After finishing speaking, Lu Ying took out a delicate and small crossbow from his sleeve, it was the fierce weapon he used to shoot Pei Feng back then, the peacock crossbow!

Lu Ying put her hands up and said, "This is the Peacock Crossbow, a life-saving item passed down to me by my master!"

Cao Cao ordered someone to fetch the Peacock Crossbow, held it in his hand and looked at it carefully, but just looking at it this way, Cao Cao could only feel that the Liannu was very delicate, and he couldn't feel how powerful it was at all.

Cao Cao was a little disappointed, is such a small object really so powerful?
Cao Cao was skeptical, and looked at Xia Houyuan suspiciously. Xia Houyuan was startled, and hurriedly said, "My lord, please order Lu Ying to cast it once in public, and you will know the great power of this thing!"

"Lu Ying, then you can show the power of this thing!" Cao Cao handed the Liannu to the eunuch, and asked the eunuch to return it to Lu Ying, and ordered someone to bring an archery target and put it at the entrance of the hall.

The meaning is obvious, it is to let Lu Ying shoot the target with the peacock crossbow.

"Yes, my lord!" Lu Ying sighed, and walked a few steps helplessly holding the peacock crossbow, then aimed at the archery target at the entrance of the main hall, took aim, pulled the mechanism, bang bang bang! ! !

The speed is so fast that there is almost no sound of whistling when shooting, only the sound of bursting when it is shot on the target in an instant.

Everyone raised their eyes and saw that the arrow target was densely packed with small arrows, and all of them were inserted into it, which can be said to penetrate three points.

This kind of power made everyone gasp and fell silent.

Cao Cao's eyes lit up, and he clapped his hands and praised, "It's amazing, it's really amazing, it's called the Peacock Liannu? It's wonderful, it's really wonderful. Thousands of arrows are fired together, just like a peacock opening its tail. It's beautiful, but extremely dangerous! It's a great invention that is wonderfully crafted!" "

"Hahaha, I'm going to make a lot of peacock crossbows, and then I'm going to show Liu Bei and Sun Quan what despair is!" Cao Cao said excitedly, but quickly changed his face and warned, "I'm not allowed to tell anyone about today's events. If anyone leaks the news, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

The officials quickly said, "Yes, my lord!"

"Congratulations, my lord. My lord has won this magic weapon, and he will dominate the country just around the corner!" Cheng Yu took the lead in congratulating Cao Cao, and the officials quickly followed suit.

Cao Cao was very happy and kept nodding his head, but at this moment, an inappropriate voice sounded. It turned out that it was Lu Ying who said eagerly, "My lord, this thing is taboo. It must not be used in large quantities. Manufacturing, killing too much is against the harmony of heaven, my lord!!!”

Grief-stricken, Lu Ying begged, "To tell you the truth, the last general is the heir of the Mohist school. This peacock crossbow is the treasure passed down by the Mohist school. From ancient times to the present, there is only this peacock crossbow. The Mohist school has trained it. Do not mass-produce the Peacock Crossbow, once it is produced, it will definitely bring disaster to the world, and the Mo family will be sinners through the ages, and the last general, Lu Ying, begs the lord not to mass-produce it! The last general does not want to be a sinner through the ages!"

Lu Ying was afraid. The reason why there was only one peacock crossbow was not that it was impossible to manufacture. The difficulty in making complicated processes was only one of the reasons. Only one crossbow can be kept, and as a symbol of Mohist heirs, it is passed down from generation to generation.

"So you are a descendant of the Mohist family! I really didn't expect it, but I have to manufacture a large number of peacock crossbows, so I can only say sorry!" Cao Cao said in a deep voice, and then gave Xia Houyuan a wink.

Xia Houyuan understood, and quietly approached Lu Ying.

Lu Ying couldn't help shaking her body, and said sadly, "In this case, the last general can only destroy this crossbow, my lord, if you want to kill or cut it, you will do as you please!"

After all, Lu Ying raised her palm to destroy the Liannu, but an accident happened, Xia Houyuan rushed out in an instant, kicked Lu Ying's waist, and snatched the Peacock Liannu.

Bang, Lu Ying flew out, spouting a mouthful of blood, struggled to get up and roared at Xia Houyuan with red eyes, "Give me back the Liannu!"

Lu Ying drew out the long sword from her waist, and swung it to kill Xia Houyuan. At this moment, Lu Ying only had the peacock crossbow in her mind.

One of the scribes sighed and shook his head. He knew that Lu Ying was finished.

This person is Liu Ye. Liu Ye is a well-known equipment maker under Cao Cao's command. He invented many siege equipment, so he is highly used by Cao Cao.

And he also has an important identity, that is, he was also from the Mohist sect, and the Mohist sect has many branches. Liu Ye is the descendant of one of the sects, but he is not as authentic as Lu Ying.

There is another person who is very worried about Lu Ying's safety. This person is Yue Xi among the generals. Yue Xi has a very good personal relationship with Lu Ying. Now seeing Lu Ying actually attacking Cao Cao, this is treason and will be beheaded for public display!

In short, Yuexi is very worried about Lu Ying's safety!

The field was changing rapidly, and Lu Ying vowed to take back the Peacock Liannu and take the opportunity to destroy it. However, before Lu Ying got close to Xiahouyuan, she was stopped by two people. These two were Cao Hong and Cao Ren. Cao Hong and Cao Ren quickly drew their swords. Ying, the martial arts of the two were already higher than that of Lu Ying, and now they teamed up again, and were immediately suppressed by Cao Hong and Cao Ren, and were captured by the two after seven or eight moves. Cao Cao stopped him, "Wait a minute, save his life!"

"Yes, my lord!" Cao Hong had no choice but to give up, snatched the long sword from Lu Ying's hand, and forced Lu Ying to kneel down. Lu Ying struggled desperately, and finally begged Cao Cao again in despair, "My lord! I don't want to be a sinner through the ages. The Peacock Crossbow must not be manufactured, this weapon is too vicious, if it is used on the battlefield, the battlefield will become a Shura hell!"

Cao Cao couldn't listen to it at all. He blinked his eyes and looked at Lu Ying and persuaded him gently, "You are the heir of the Mo family, so you must have real skills. As long as you assist me in making this crossbow, I can reward you greatly, even Make you a Marquis!"

Everyone was startled, and they were granted the title of Marquis directly. This was a great opportunity, and Lu Ying was really lucky.

However, Lu Ying flatly refused, and just kowtowed continuously begging Cao Cao to take back his life, "My lord, take it back! My lord,,,,"

"Hmph, I don't know good and bad, come here, put him in a prison and never let him out!" Cao Cao angrily issued an order!

Lu Ying was pulled down directly, even though Lu Ying broke her throat, Cao Cao didn't even blink.

Cao Cao looked at the place where Lu Ying was taken away and sneered, "Huh, even without your successor, Lu Ying, wouldn't I be able to make it? Even if the Peacock Crossbow has a mystery, so what? I have the master Liu Ye under my command. Yes! He is also a member of the Mo family!"

"Liu Ye, I will leave this matter to you! If you need anything, just transfer it without telling me, and make the Liannu as soon as possible. I have made a big move recently!" Cao Cao glanced at Liu Ye in the crowd, and Cao Cao said left the hall.

　Yesterday the power went out until now, but I can’t send out what I wrote, and my phone was turned off due to power failure. I’m really mad.

　　I won't stop updating. Even if I don't update in time, I will make up the next day. Anyway, at least one update a day.

　　Support as much as you can. After all, creation is not easy. Every recommendation is an encouragement to me. Thank you.
