Chapter 168 Zhen Zhuge crossbow

"Young master, it's done, it's done!" Ma Chao just stepped into the gate of the arsenal, and Zheng Hun, who was waiting at the door, shouted excitedly.

Ma Chao has been in a bad mood recently, not because of anything else, but because Cai Yong, an old man, is starting to make trouble again.

Cai Yong's uproar was the discovery of Cai Yan and Ma Chao's private life. Originally, only heaven and earth knew about this matter, and Ma Chao knew Cai Yan, but a letter from Hedong Wei's family made this good thing known all over the world.

A few days ago, Cai Yong received a letter from Hedong Wei's family, saying that Wei Ning Weizhong was ill. If you want to marry Cai Yan through the door, you will be happy. Cai Yong is an old man. Even if he spread his daughter's happiness, he doesn't want to lose his reputation. Therefore, he went to Cai Yan to discuss this matter.

If it hadn't been for Fufeng's trip, Cai Yan would have followed Cai Yong and married Wei Ning in history. A few days after the door, Wei Ning turned his braids, and Cai Yan became a widow.

But the problem is that Ma Chao's figure has been deeply imprinted in Cai Yan's heart during his trip to Fufeng County. At this time, Cai Yong mentioned the nonsense of marriage and the fate of his parents. How can this make Cai Yan, who knows nothing, give in? However, Cai Yong had to be arbitrary and planned to go to Ma Chao to say goodbye.

The reason why he didn't look for Ma Teng but Ma Chao was that Cai Yong was also an understanding person. I have long seen who is in charge of the Ma family, but it is precisely his cleverness, but he has mistaken his own magic calculation. Ma Chao couldn't let Cai Yan go to Wei's house to be a widow. In anger, he shouted out his intention to marry Cai Yan.

Although Cai Yong was old, he was not old-tempered. He pointed to Ma Chao's nose and cursed, saying that Ma Chao was shameless and did not understand the etiquette of saints. And Ma Chao is not the owner of the loss. He has long practiced a good tooth in the parliament and scolded Cai Yongming for being stubborn and famous. The two finally broke up unhappily. The final result was that dozens of Ma's elite soldiers guarded the front and back gates of Cai Yong, with a radius of ten miles, and shadows were secretly monitoring...

After Cai Yong went back, he scolded Cai Yan again, and Cai Yan was also the kind of woman who was soft on the outside and strong inside. He actually said that he had made Zhou Gong's gift with Ma Chao, so angry that Cai Yong wanted to kill Cai Yan. Fortunately, Brother Chou was alert and immediately broke into Cai's house with Shadow and kidnapped Cai Yan.

Well, Cai Yong was crazy and scolded Ma Chao; and Han Ying was also crazy and scolded Ma Chao; as for Yun'er, she was almost crazy, but she was so happy that she was going crazy...

Ma Chao came to the arsenal today after being angry with Cai Yong. Although personal feelings can't be replaced by work, there is always a bad feeling. Under the shadow of the bow snake, he thought that Zheng Hun was mocking himself and Cai Yan's success. As soon as he put his face, he wanted to scold.

However, Zheng Hun and Pu Yuan are both inventive characters, and they are not good at observing words and colors. Fortunately, they were so informal that they avoided the pain of being scolded. Because Zheng Hun didn't wait for Ma to go beyond his voice, he continued to say:

"Young master, Zhen Yuanrong has become a crossbow! Even the crossbow has become!" Zheng Hun said with an excited face.

"Ah!" Ma Chao was so happy that he immediately came to his senses and took Zheng Hun to run to the research and development room of the arsenal.

"I didn't dare to underestimate the ancient craftsmen, but I didn't expect that they still had room to create miracles! However, what does 'Zhu Yuanrong crossbow' mean? Is it the same as the equipment in the game?

In the research and development secret room, Pu Yuan, who has been reinstauted, has red and swollen eyes, messy buns, and his clothes are full of dust and debris, which has become *unlike. Several craftsmen who worked on the job were also generally exhausted. Seeing this, Ma Chao was a little surprised: When will Pu Yuan also live as a carpenter?

In fact, at the end of the Han Dynasty, iron smelting and woodware were rarely separated, and most of them knew everything. Ma Chao didn't know that Pu Yuan had built the tiles in person...

At this time, it was not the time to consider these things. Seeing that the craftsmen were so tired, Ma Chao knew that the two masters led the craftsmen and stayed up a long night for this crossbow. The scene in front of him made Ma Chao's nose and hair sore, which made his throat choke a little. Thinking of Cai Yong's old man, he was even more angry.

Those sour scholars at the end of the Han Dynasty will fill in a few poems and guess a few riddles, thinking that they are talented, but their knowledge is not helpful to the progress of science and technology, the development of human beings, and the improvement of productivity. On the contrary, it is really stupid to ignore human ethics and only know what reputation, loyalty and filial piety.

Looking at craftsmen such as Pu Yuan and Zheng Hun, Ma Chao felt that they were ten times and a hundred times stronger than Cai Yong's sour Confucianism!

However, Confucianism is always desirable, and it is not right for children to spill all the dirty water. The central idea of loyalty, filial piety and righteousness and benevolence are still very helpful to social morality. However, at this moment, Ma Chao has raised the idea of breaking the crooked Confucian ideas. I plan to write a book about mathematics, geometry, biology, history, geography and other knowledge I have learned in primary and junior high schools for children to learn, slowly guide the atmosphere of the end of the Han Dynasty, establish an atmosphere of equal importance on literature and science, and slowly change everything.

"Thank you craftsmen for your hard work." Ma Chao didn't ask the bow and crossbow. He greeted everyone first. Naturally, he worked hard on the details. After everyone also returned the salute, Ma Chao asked Pu Yuan, "Master Pu, listen to Master Zheng say that Zhenyuan Rong crossbow has become?"

"Report to the young master, my subordinates are not talented, last night Yuan Rong crossbow Xiaocheng, please ask the young master to test." Pu Yuanyuan's confident voice couldn't hide his excitement.

In the middle of the secret room, under a wide red cloth, there is a masterpiece of several craftsmen who have devoted their efforts. Zheng Hun stepped forward and lifted the red cloth with a brush. A brand-new portable Yuanrong crossbow and a frightening bed crossbow suddenly appeared in front of Ma Chao with a cold light made of fine steel.

Ma Chao mentioned the Yuanrong crossbow and found that Zheng Hun and Pu Yuan had made the arrow box smaller, and there were only five arrow grooves left. That weight is half lighter. Pu Yuan handed over the crossbow and explained, "Young master, this crossbow has also been improved, and its power is even more powerful."

Ma Chao picked up the crossbow and looked carefully. The bamboo chopstick-like crossbow was made into a hexagonal shape, with an extremely sharp tip and several deep bloodletting grooves between the edges of the arrow body. Ma Chao even felt the sharpness and bloodthirsty of the arrow. In his hand, the crossbow arrow pressed his hand heavily and thought, "No matter how strong a man is, if he is shot by this arrow, he will rarely be spared."

The five arrow grooves of Yuanrong's crossbow are polished to make them shiny, and the two strands of cattle tendons are extremely tough. The upper arrow box is cleverly equipped with a simple sight. This crossbow can shoot 20 crossbows in a row. If it can ensure accuracy, the end is unparalleled power.

Ma Chao compared casually and felt that the crossbow could probably shoot through a hundred-step wooden target. He was very happy: the cavalry charge only needed 200 steps to complete the acceleration movement, and if the heavily loaded cavalry threw a javelin 200 steps away, waited for the javelin to be thrown, and then used this Yuanrong crossbow to shoot back, the enemy did not have to attack. It has collapsed!

"Young master, here are here and several craftsmen, based on your guidance, under the improvement of the crossbow guarding the city, thinking about the continuous bed crossbow that I tried to make. Please have a look." Pu Yuan stroked the crossbow and looked full of love.

Putting down the Yuanrong crossbow, Ma Chao was deeply shocked by the crossbow: the crossbow was about two meters long, and eight strands of cow tendons twisted into bow strings. Looking at the crossbow handed over by Pu Yuan, it is about the length of an arm and the thickness of his fingers. If you are hit by this crossbow, I'm afraid that the iron armor will be difficult to resist, and the internal organs of humans and animals will be smashed.

"Young master, how about these two objects at present?" After telling Ma Chao the test results of the crossbow and Yuanrong crossbow, Zheng Hun cautiously asked Ma Chao's opinion.

Ma Chao thought for a moment and knew that the time was inspiring. He replied loudly, "Master Zheng, Master Pu and other craftsmen, please accept my worship of Ma Chao!" Then Ma Chao bowed down and bowed down.

"How dare you be the young master!" Zheng Hun, Pu Yuan and other craftsmen quickly dodged the direction of Ma Chao's worship.

"You have worked hard and made great contributions, and you should worship!" Ma Chao answered sincerely, and then said loudly, "Today, there is another artifact in the arsenal. I am very relieved. I will send the order to let the craftsmen of each battalion rest for half a day, boil the mountain rare chicken soup in the room, and make up for the craftsmen!"

Due to the expansion of the arsenal, the number of bellows has also increased significantly. The poor hundreds of fat chickens that have been plucked can only be marinated and stored in the house. At this time, it is just in handy to reward the hard-working craftsmen.

The afterglow of the sunset shines in the courtyard of the arsenal, except for Ma Chao's wise and martial posture. The rest is a steaming eating scene, and the craftsmen are sweating and eating happily...

"This chicken soup is good. If there is a new invention another day, I will get another bowl." That's what Ma Chao said before he left.
