Chapter 21 Hot potato

...

A space ring is really a space ring.

After Zuo Qianqian handed it to Lei Qing, Lei Qing held it in his hand and couldn't believe it for a long time. It was very simple. This level of thing was far from what the one-eyed dragon could possess. In the imperial capital, even many nobles with insufficient backgrounds could not get a space ring that could show their identity.

Only some generals who command ten thousand people in the army will reward the royal family with a space ring.

But, a small thief actually had such something in his hand? Was he lucky? Or...

The space ring is not as magical as described in some biographical novels, such as the need to recognize the master if you drop blood. Although the space ring is extremely precious, the concept of the bloody recognition is still too exaggerated.

Therefore, after Lei Qing put it on his finger, he used some thunder fighting spirit to activate the space formation engraved in its core. Immediately, it was like a stone dropping off on the calm water surface, and a faint wave ripples rippled.

Immediately afterwards, the ripples rotated like a vortex, beautiful and mysterious aura. Lei Qing reached into the vortex space, grabbed it casually, picked up something, his pupils shrank, and he said in a lost voice: "Qianji Crossbow."

I saw that the crossbow was black all over, with extremely exquisite and heavy workmanship, and the patterns were decorated with some mysterious and beautiful patterns, all of which showed the extraordinaryness of this thing.

Indeed, this Qianji Crossbow is not an ordinary thing, but a specialty of the Tianlan Empire. This crossbow is extremely powerful, about ten feet, and can easily penetrate two feet of rock. Therefore, even some steel armor with strong defenses cannot withstand the terrifying penetration power of the Qianji Crossbow.

Not only is the crossbow arrow powerful, it also has a very fast flight speed, reaching a distance of more than ten or twenty feet in a flash. Even some powerful fighters are difficult to react and block or avoid. Once they hit, they will either die or be seriously injured.

Therefore, Qianji Crossbow is not only a sharp killing weapon on the battlefield, but also a good helper for assassination and ambushing.

Such a powerful weapon is of course difficult and difficult to make. The Tianlan Empire itself only dislikes little but not too much. It must be extremely confidential and will never be willing to export and leak. Whether it is production or distribution to the army, the management rules are extremely strict. Anyone who dares to conquer and sell crossbows, once it is found out, he will probably be killed.

The reason why Lei Qing recognized this thing was when he was a teenager. The old man in his family was a general in the army. One day, he secretly took a thousand-machine crossbow and showed off in front of his friends, which made everyone feel good. As a result, the boy became tragic. He turned around and was beaten up by his old man and locked up for a whole year. The general also went to court to take the thorns and apologize.

Fortunately, His Majesty the Emperor found out that it was just a group of second-generation ancestors in Kyoto who were competing and showing off. He did not pursue this matter, but only symbolically punished the general for a year's salary.

But it can also be seen from this that the Qianji crossbow is so precious that it is hard to find? Especially the management is so strict that it is terrible. In fact, the powerful people in Kyoto are also very demanding to strictly manage the Qianji crossbow. After all, everyone is afraid of death, right? The speed and power of the Qianji crossbow are hard to resist and react to. No one wants to live in a life of guards and trembling.

Lei Qing also thought it was dangerous, but fortunately, the Qianji crossbow was placed in the space ring, and the crossbow arrow was not stringed. Or the one-eyed dragon didn't know what was in the ring? Or was he so angry. Otherwise, if he had put the string early and took out such a thing to deal with him, it would be hard to say who would win and who would win or die.

What made Lei Qing sweat even more was that there seemed to be more than a thousand-machine crossbow in this storage space. He hurriedly dealt with the scene first. After destroying the corpse, he found a secluded place to count. Grandma's twelve ones, and it also matched with thousands of special crossbow arrows and some maintenance products.

What do people who came out of these Thousand Machine Crossbows want to do? Those are the twelve Thousand Machine Crossbows, which are stolen and imitated by all countries in the mainland, and have not been successful yet. Even if there are twelve ordinary elite soldiers, after a little training, they will use the twelve Thousand Machine Crossbows to sneak attack a silver-level powerful man. In the end, it is probably the silver-level powerful man who will be depressed on the spot.

"Is it smuggling? Or traitoring the country? Is it the first time I did it or it has been done many times?" Lei Qing didn't know his purpose, but he only knew one thing. The person who could hide it from the imperial supervision department and quietly created twelve thousand-machine crossbows must be the most important person in the Tianlan Empire.

Bye bye, there are less than twenty of the entire Tianlan Empire except the emperor. Among them, the Lei family is definitely not included. It is OK when the Lei family is at its peak. Even if they want to do it now, they can't do it.

It can be imagined that among these less than twenty people, each of them is a powerful person with extremely prominent identities and stomping his feet in the Tianlan Empire. These powerful persons are very good at hand. Once something happens here, they can figure it out with just a little investigation, and in the end they can count it on their own.

At this time, Lei Qing had the urge to cry. None of those powerful figures could compare to Yu Shanshan. After all, Yu Shanshan was just the daughter of Yu Tianji, the chief assistant of the cabinet. The rest were real powerful figures. If people of this level were eyeing him, it would be much scarier than Yu Shanshan. The power they could use was far more than Yu Shanshan. For some personal grudges, Yu Shanshan mobilized a mercenary group to deal with Lei Qing, but all they could do was limited to this. Unless Yu Tianji took action personally, it would be almost impossible to get some more powerful people to chase Lei Qing across the country. And those powerful figures could do it after being forced to do it.

It is precisely these reasons that Lei Qing suddenly got so many thousand-machine crossbows without being hit by the pie. Instead, he felt that holding it in his hand was like a hot potato. Twelve thousand-machine crossbows were like twelve death-demanding talismans. He was trying to suppress a thief village. He was obviously doing good things, so why did he even kill such a broken thing? Could it be that a good person really doesn’t live long?

Seeing Lei Qing's face pale, as if she was desperate, Zuo Qianqian hurriedly cared for her.

Lei Qing also smiled bitterly and said helplessly: "Even if you throw away things, it's useless. That powerful person hidden in the dark will definitely be able to track down us after we killed the one-eyed dragon. No matter whether we have a thousand-machine crossbow or not, he will kill people to silence us. Qianqian, this time I have implicated you."

"Brother Lei, you're over-concerned." Zuo Qianqian was not deeply touched by this and said indifferently: "So even if he finds someone to chase you? Didn't you say before that Yu and others also sent someone to chase you? Didn't you still be killed by Brother Lei, so you are still free and easy?"

"It's different. The person sent by that bastard must be much more powerful than the people sent by Yu Shanshan. It's very likely that he is an extremely powerful assassin." Lei Qing sighed and said, "You don't know how deep the water is here."

"Anyway, I believe that Brother Lei, you are the most powerful. As an assassin killer. With Qianqian by your side, you can kill one by one, kill one by one, and kill one by one." Zuo Qianqian said domineeringly: "Brother Lei, don't you often say that things like strength cannot be practiced by meditation through retreat. Can every strong man who reaches the peak be killed by one by one and a gun, and go through countless hardships? These people who chase them, just think they are your whetstones for Brother Lei, and they are also the stepping stones for you to embark on the peak in the future."

Lei Qing's eyes lit up when she said it. Indeed, she was in the situation and was so scared by the means and power of those powerful figures that she was blinded by the means and power of the powerful. When she was chased by the masters of the Free Mercenary Group, didn't she think that she would die several times?

However, I survived in that kind of mortal environment, and was even stronger and more powerful than before.

"Whesher, well said." Lei Qing's heart was gone, and his calm eyes were full of heroism: "Since things have been like this, why bother to worry about gains and losses and complain about themselves? It's better to face the bleak life bravely and face difficulties."
