Chapter 76
"If something goes wrong, there will be a demon! No, I have to prevent any trouble before it happens!" Tang Yu whispered to himself.
He knew that as long as he didn't leave the palace, no one would dare to do anything to himself. If he left the capital, everything would be hard to say.
Tang Yu understood that Zifeng Mountain was located in a suburb fifty miles away from the capital. He was currently deeply favored by Emperor Tang. Tang Long and Tang Shuheng must have been jealous of him and wanted to kill him. Hunting was the best opportunity.
After all, there are too many unpredictable things to come to the suburbs if you are not in the capital.
Thinking of this, Tang Yu quickly drew a drawing, and he came to Lu Qiu and said, "Master Lu, please help me make such crossbow arrows!"
"The structural principle of this crossbow arrow is interesting. Was it newly developed by Your Highness? What is its name?" Lu Qiu asked curiously.
Tang Yu smiled faintly: "Master Lu, it is called Zhuge Crossbow. As long as it is developed, it can shoot ten arrows in a row!"
"What? Can you shoot ten arrows in a row?" Lu Qiu looked shocked.
As the first founder of the Tang Dynasty, Lu Qiu had seen all kinds of bows and arrows, but he had never heard of him being able to shoot ten arrows in a row at a time.
Tang Yu nodded and said, "No, you can shoot ten arrows in a row!"
"Your Highness is worthy of being a genius!" Lu Qiu exclaimed.
He studied it carefully, and Lu Qiu said again: "But Your Highness, this Zhuge crossbow looks extremely powerful, and can be shot out at most 10 or 20 meters at a time!"
"This is enough. If you apply poison to the arrow, the power will be extraordinary!" Tang Yu laughed.
There are two main types of Zhuge crossbows. One is a large crossbow that cannot be used alone. The large crossbows are mainly used for siege battles; the other type of Zhuge crossbows is a small handheld crossbow. It is not too powerful, but can shoot ten arrows in a row, mainly for defense.
Tang Yu knew that it would be impossible for Qiu Hunting to compete for the limelight with the Desert Eagle. In order to enhance his self-protection ability, he decided to develop a small Zhuge crossbow.
The Zhuge crossbow is small and easy to make. In less than half a day, Lu Qiu successfully made the first Zhuge crossbow.
Seven days later, in the 468th year of the Tang Dynasty, autumn began.
Emperor Tang Zheng of Tang decided to hunt on Zifeng Mountain, fifty miles away from the capital. The prince followed him and all the civil and military officials in the court went on a group trip.
On this day, Tang Yu rode a horse, holding a bow and arrow, and followed the Emperor Tang slowly to Zifeng Mountain. He saw the yellow leaves dancing all over the mountain, and the entire mountain range revealed the coolness of autumn.
As the leaves withered, the vision became wider. As soon as I arrived at Zifeng Mountain, I could see a herd of deer drinking water in the stream not far away.
"Get me a bow!" Emperor Tang was overjoyed when he saw this.
The eunuch Zhao Gao immediately presented the bow and arrow and said, "Your Majesty!"
Whoosh-
Emperor Tang took the longbow, and he immediately set off his bow and arrow. A simple pre-aim shot out instantly. A sika deer that was drinking water was directly hit by the neck by the feather arrow. The sika deer fell to the ground in an instant. After a struggle, the sika deer fell into the stream and died on the spot.
When the other sika deer saw that their companions were dead, the deer panicked and fled around.
"Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty!"
Seeing that Emperor Tang made his debut, all the civil and military officials stepped forward and were amazed.
Tang Yu was shocked: "This cheap dad is indeed not simple!"
According to Tang Yu's judgment, Emperor Tang shot at least 150 meters of this arrow.
You should know that in ancient times, the maximum range of bows and arrows was at most a little over two hundred meters, and once the feather arrows were 100 meters away, the hit rate would be greatly reduced. Emperor Tang was able to accurately shoot a sika deer away from one hundred and fifty meters away, which could be said to be very powerful.
"I haven't seen each other for several months, Your Majesty's archery skills have become more and more sophisticated!" Prime Minister Meng Shize also took the opportunity to flatter him.
Emperor Tang laughed and said, "My nine princes, come and try it, let me see if your archery skills have improved in the near future!"
"Father, let me come first!" The third prince Tang Shuheng stood up first.
Now Tang Shuheng's status in Emperor Tang is much worse than before, so he must perform well to make Emperor Tang look at him with admiration.
