Chapter 1164

After Mo Chuan and Chen Ning left the guest house, they remained silent. On the way back to the palace, they did not say a word.

Chen Ning did not say anything either. The two of them sat in the carriage, each thinking about their own matters.

Mo Chuan took out the crossbow blueprints from his chest and carefully looked at them one by one. His face did not reveal much joy from obtaining the blueprints. Instead, his eyebrows furrowed even tighter.

He had originally thought that if he found the blueprints in the box, then this matter could be proven to be the work of the Northern Qi emissary, a thief crying thief.

But Chen Ning spoke with certainty, saying that this matter had nothing to do with the Northern Qi emissary and that he was wrongly accused.

Like this, the person who sent people to steal the blueprints from the guest house became even more confused.

And the two most suspicious people were the Minister of War, Li Zhixing, and King Ding Yuan, Chu Shao Yang.

No matter which one it was, he did not want to be the mastermind behind this incident.

"This quintuple crossbow, after it's made, can it shoot five arrows at once?" Chen Ning's eyes fell onto the blueprints in Mo Chuan's hands. She casually looked at them and asked thoughtfully.

"Not bad, Ning 'er, you can actually understand weapon blueprints?"

Mo Chuan was a little surprised. This kind of complicated blueprints, if one did not learn the art of forging, normal people would not be able to understand it.

Even he had to find Li Zhixing for a few books on forging and cram for a few days before he could understand it.

Chen Ning gave a faint smile. She had indeed dabbled in these cold weapon blueprints before. Although she did not understand them, there were diagrams and written records of them in her memory palace.

"I know a thing or two, but this quintuple crossbow doesn't look that special. Is it that powerful to shoot five arrows at once?"

She thought back to the books she remembered about crossbows. The most famous one was the Zhuge crossbow. It was said that it was made by Zhuge Liang of the Three Kingdoms. It could shoot ten arrows at once and had a very strong firepower. The weakness was that it was too big and too heavy, so a single person could not use it.

Later on, there was a great inventor in the Wei Kingdom, Ma Jun, who improved the Zhuge crossbow. The improved crossbow was smaller and lighter, so it could be used by a single person. The most powerful part was that it could shoot fifty arrows at once, which had a very strong killing power. Unfortunately, the method to make it had been lost.

Hearing Chen Ning's words, Mo Chuan's brows relaxed. He rubbed her hair and said with a smile, "Silly girl, this quintuple crossbow blueprint is priceless. East Qin and Southern Mountain are both eyeing it. a crossbow that can shoot five arrows at once, don't you think it's powerful?"

Chen Ning blinked and suddenly said, "I know of a crossbow that can shoot ten arrows at once."

Chen Ning blinked and suddenly said, "I know of a crossbow that can.

It's that powerful? "He then nodded and said," Un, I believe that there is someone in this world that has made a ten chain crossbow. It should be Northern Qi, otherwise they would not sell the five chain crossbow blueprint. They have already made ten chain crossbows, so naturally they would not care about the quintuple crossbow. But to our West Chu, this is a good weapon that we can only wish for. "

Chen Ning couldn't help rolling her eyes at him. She cleared her throat and said, "Mo Chuan, I'm saying that I can draw a ten chain crossbow blueprint."

"What did you say?"
