MTL - Restart the Protagonist’s Way of Survival-Chapter 107 crossbow
When Bai Qingyang drove over, what he saw was Li Zichou staring at the tiger in a daze.
"Your Majesty is so powerful that he actually shot and killed the white tiger!"
"Your Majesty has extraordinary courage and insight, and has quite the legacy of a strong emperor."
"Huh? The white tiger's eyes seem to be injured too."
"It was injured during a stalemate with His Majesty."
Bai Qingyang looked into Bai Hu's eyes when he heard the words, and couldn't help frowning.
The tiger's face was hit by an arrow, and the left eye was pierced by something. It was **** and bloody, and the white hair on the face was dyed scarlet. This is probably the real reason for the death of this beast.
Bai Qingyang lightly kicked the horse's belly, and came to Li Zichou's side.
"Are you okay?" Bai Qingyang stared at her without blinking, very nervous.
Li Zihou's arm was held by someone, and she regained consciousness instantly. She looked at Bai Qingyang, and twitched the corner of her mouth: "It's okay."
Bai Qingyang looked at her whole body, she didn't seem to be injured, but he still asked worriedly: "Really?"
Li Zifu still had a slight smile on his face: "Really."
Knowing that asking Li Zifu would yield nothing, Bai Qingyang had no choice but to give up.
"Go back, it's getting late."
Li Zichou hummed.
"Take the white tiger on your shoulders and drive back to the monastery camp."
"Follow the order!"
After Bai Qingyang finished giving his orders, he said to Li Zichou, "Let's go."
"it is good."

the other side.
"Your Highness—" Ji Zhuilu called Yang Dejin, "It's getting dark, we should go back!"
Yang Dejin didn't hit anything today. She rode a horse and wanted to go deep into the grassland. At this moment, hearing Ji Zhuilu's cry, she stopped her horse and did not move.
Seeing this, Ji Zhuilu ran over and looked at the young man on the horse against the light: "Your Highness, don't be discouraged, let's hunt again tomorrow."
Yang Dejin didn't answer.
Xie Zhi paced over: "Your Highness."
Yang Dejin: "..."
"Yang Dejin!"
"What are you doing?! Hey...?" Yang Dejin turned her head a little annoyed when someone called her full name so loudly, but she didn't expect to be hit by something thrown over her.
Ji Zhuilu showed a horrified expression on the side: Does Xie Shilang dare to call His Highness's name directly? !
The bouquet Xie Zhi threw over was made of unknown small white flowers that were in full bloom on the grassland, with pale yellow stamens and petite petals, probably a type of autumn chrysanthemum, fresh and not gaudy.
Holding the bouquet, Yang Dejin was slightly surprised, and asked Xie Zhi, "What are you doing for me?"
Xie Zhi: "This is not to see you return empty-handed, for fear that you will be sad."
Ji Zhuilu couldn't help but glanced at his colleague, he said that Xie Zhi had nothing to do with picking so many flowers, he dared to send his love to his sweetheart.
Good meeting.
Yang Dejin was a little angry and a little funny: "You're making fun of me again?"
"The lower officials are wronged."
Xie Zhi innocently blinked her smiling eyes, the corners of her lips naturally raised, the afterglow of the autumn sun reflected on her side face, making her look warm and soft.
A person who was so lonely and indifferent at first suddenly had such a bright expression, and being looked at by such a pair of pupils, Yang Dejin felt his face was slightly hot.
Seeing that she tilted her head to avoid his gaze, Xie Zhi asked puzzled, "Why, you don't like it?"
Yang Dejin coughed lightly, and the dead duck's mouth was stiff: "It's not satisfactory."
Xie Zhi chuckled: That means I like it very much.
Ji Zhuilu on one side: "..." Uh, this... this atmosphere...
Is he a bit out of place here?
Xie Zhi turned a blind eye to the feelings of her colleagues, she stepped forward and pulled the bridle: "Let's go, everyone else has returned."
Yang Dejin pointed to the low bushes not far away: "Wait a minute, I want that."
Xie Zhi looked in the direction of her finger, there were flowers blooming in the bushes, swaying bright colors.
The meaning behind Yang Dejin's words was obvious, she wanted Xie Zhi to pick it up for her.
"Hey, wait, wait!" Even if the atmosphere is good at the moment, Ji Zhuilu has no choice but to cook the crane and burn the piano.
"Xie Shilang, I don't want to pick those flowers." Ji Zhuilu persuaded earnestly, "Oleander, the root, stem, leaf and petals, are highly poisonous."
Yang Dejin: "..."
Xie Zhi: "Lieutenant Ji also studies poisons?"
Ji Zhuilu: "Hey, I planted this in the backyard of my house. Once, the housekeeper almost ate it by mistake."
Xie Zhi turned to look at Yang Dejin: "You heard that."
Yang Dejin: "..."
Xie Zhi: "Go back directly."
Yang Dejin pursed her lips.
Xie Zhi: "Be obedient."
Yang Dejin: "Well..."
Ji Zhuilu: "..." Why can't he figure out why he has to come and hunt with the young couple? !
//
At the end of the first day of hunting, everyone simply processed the prey they had brought back and roasted it on the bonfire. They either used it as a feast for the guards and soldiers under them, or sent it to some noble lady to show their shame. Outspoken mind.
With the master's permission, Zhou Huaijin entered the emperor's camp: "Your Majesty, what you want."
Li Zichou unwrapped the wrapped cloth, revealing a crossbow arrow no longer than the length of a palm.
"Is this what shot the white tiger's eye?"
Zhou Huaijin: "Yes, this is what was taken out of that white tiger's head."
Chen Feng, who had been standing quietly by the side, suddenly knelt down and pleaded guilty: "It's the official's dereliction of duty, please forgive me, Your Majesty."
Li Zichou held up the crossbow and looked at it under the candlelight: "You get up first."
Chen Feng didn't move, it was Zhou Huaijin who pulled her up.
As a secret guard, it is her job to protect Li Zishou from danger. Knowing that something went wrong in the mission, Chen Feng was anxiously waiting for the Queen's punishment.
Li Zichou didn't mean to blame Chen Feng.
Lu Xiaoying, who was usually in charge of personal protection, stayed behind in the camp, and Chen Feng led the imperial guards to guard Shanglinyuan to leave the palace, and only one Chen Feng was left to follow at a distance.
And crossbows are not like bows and arrows, the arrowheads and arrow shafts are made so small, it's normal for Chen Feng not to notice.
What she cared about was, how did the assassin get in?
Mixed among her attendants, or hidden in the mountains?
"Huaijin, go and find out the source of this thing." Li Zichou returned the crossbow to him.
Zhou Huaijin took it, hesitantly said yes, and didn't do it right away.
Li Zichou saw that he didn't finish his sentence, and asked again: "What else do you want to say?"
Zhou Huaijin: "Your Majesty, excuse me, Prince Yu seems to be using this kind of crossbow."
Li Zichou was silent: "... Has she returned to the tent?"
"Just came out of the paddock."
"Really…"
"Your Majesty, Prince Yu..."
Li Zichou interrupted him: "Don't guess, go and find out."
Zhou Huaijin: "...Yes, I obey the order."
"Wait a minute." Li Zichou called him to stop, and said to Zhou Huaijin and Chen Feng, "It's enough for the three of us to know what happened today, don't tell it."
Zhou Huaijin and Chen Feng looked at each other, one of them cupped their hands, the other clasped their fists together and said, "I obey the order."
//
When Yang Dejin came out of the paddock, the surroundings of the temple were already very lively. People gathered around the bonfire to drink and sing and dance with the strength of wine.
The work of the city defense battalion still needs to be taken care of, so Ji Zhuilu went to do his own business.
The guards came to take the horse away, and Yang Dejin wandered around the monastery.
"It's so lively."
"Yes." Xie Zhi replied, "Your Highness, what are you looking for?"
Yang Dejin stuck for a moment and said, "No."
Why is it so easy to see through? Xie Zhi's insight is too strong.
She asked casually: "Why don't you see the emperor, hasn't she come back yet?"
Xie Zhi looked at Yang Dejin and replied: "Your Majesty should have returned, look, the main tent is lit."
When passing by the crowd, Xie Zhi pointed to the emperor's tent, Yang Dejin took a look, and it was indeed Li Zishou's shadow.
"Every day is full of opportunities." Yang Dejin breathed a sigh of relief, but still said meaningfully.
Xie Zhi: "There is no way to do this, after all, in that position."
Yang Dejin was silent for a while, then changed the subject: "I'm hungry, let's have dinner first."
Xie Zhi nodded: "General Zhong came back after beating the head of the roe deer, and his subordinates roasted it. Do you want me to bring back some meat for you?"
Yang Dejin snorted and declined, "Forget it, I don't eat wild game."
"The rabbit meat?"
"Rabbit meat is okay."
"Your Highness is eating in the tent?"
"Return to Chengguang Palace."
——It is one of the palaces near Shanglinyuan.
During the hunting period, the emperor and empress stayed in Jianzhang Palace, and the emperor's relatives temporarily stayed in Chengguang Palace. The residences of dignitaries, dignitaries and ladies' relatives were scattered in various gardens.
"Then I'll send someone over here." Xie Zhi said.
Hearing what she meant, Yang Dejin raised her eyebrows in doubt and said, "Why? You want to go back to Chengguang Palace with me?"
Xie Zhi paused.
Although it seems very annoying, her task is to stay by Yang Dejin's side every step of the way, which is also to prevent accidents from happening.
So Xie Zhi's expression didn't change, and he even asked, "Can't you?"
"Okay." Of course Yang Dejin would not refuse, "I ordered dinner at Quanxianlou, and it will be delivered to Shanglinyuan. You can eat with me."
Xie Zhi smiled: "It's better to obey orders than to be respectful."
The two of them didn't go back to their tents either, they wandered around the monastery for a while, and then went directly to Chengguang Palace.
On the way, I ran into Colonel Ji, who was explaining things to others: "Let the people under your hands cheer up and ensure the order in the paddock..."
"Lieutenant Ji." Yang Dejin greeted.
"Your Highness, there is Minister Xie?" Ji Zhuilu looked at the two of them with some surprise, he first performed a military officer's salute, and then sent his subordinates away, "Let's do it."
"Yes." The other party raised his right hand, bowed to the three of them, and then backed away.
Ji Zhuilu: "Have your Highness and Xie Shilang had dinner?"
Yang Dejin: "Not yet, would you like to go back to Chengguang Palace for dinner, Captain Ji?"
After hearing this, Xie Zhi couldn't help but look at the people around him: What did you ask him to do?
Ji Zhuilu is a man.
Fortunately, Ji Zhuilu is not so blind, and he doesn't want to be a light bulb at night: "Thanks to His Highness's kindness, but I have business to do, so I won't bother you."
Yang Dejin nodded: "Okay then."
The author has something to say:
Li Zishou (almost sent away)
Yang Dejin (Crazy top score)
Think of it as a crossbow in the world of Terra, and add buffs to it.
