Chapter 636: Chapter 636: The Trusted Meng Yunzheng Chapter 636: Chapter 636: The Trusted Meng Yunzheng Shu Yu was delighted and hurriedly took the pocket crossbow from Yunzheng.
Following his instructions, she strapped it onto her left wrist. She instantly felt a slight weight on her wrist and a somewhat stiff and cumbersome sensation.
Yunzheng then loaded a crossbow arrow for her, and the two of them went to the courtyard, aimed at a round piece of wood not far away, and gently pressed the trigger.
With a ‘whoosh’, Shu Yu felt a powerful force press down heavily on her wrist; the crossbow arrow she had fired embedded deeply into the wood.
Her eyes lit up, “This thing is quite effective.”
Yunzheng searched and took out another, strapping it onto his own wrist as well.
Shu Yu was stunned, “You’ve also prepared one for yourself?”
“Yep, I know you’re going into the mountains, and I’m coming with you.” Yunzheng, clearly more familiar with the crossbow, effortlessly sent arrows into the wood, splitting it into two with just two shots.
Shu Yu abruptly stopped her next shot, turned around in amazement, and asked him, “You, you’re coming with me?”
“Yes, I should be able to help out a bit.”
Shu Yu fought the urge to roll her eyes. With your skills, only a bit of help? You could probably take down a whole tiger.
Yunzheng smiled, “Moreover, since you’re going into the mountains, you can only use bows and arrows; it’s probably not good to reveal this crossbow arrow.”
After all, the crossbow arrow was a weapon, and the Dasu dynasty’s regulations on such items weren’t too strict. As long as they weren’t of great destructive power, ordinary people could use them.
As for determining whether the lethality was high or not, there was plenty of room for maneuver. At least the one Yunzheng had prepared was definitely a military-grade weapon.
But this allowance for ordinary people didn’t mean felons could use them.
If felons started using crossbow arrows, wouldn’t that cause chaos? The bows and arrows they used for hunting weren’t very sharp.
Currently, Shu Yu was considered a felon, and Yunzheng had prepared the crossbow arrow for her just in case. If she ever faced a life-threatening situation, she could protect herself, though in reality, she wouldn’t get many chances to use it on a daily basis.
However, going into the mountains to hunt tigers, the chance of needing the crossbow arrow was almost one hundred percent. The issue was that Shu Yu wouldn’t be acting alone; she would be cooperating with Ma Lu and others.
If they saw Shu Yu’s crossbow arrow, it would undoubtedly lead to many unnecessary problems.
It would be much more convenient if Yunzheng followed. Even if Shu Yu had to shoot the crossbow in an emergency, as long as the blame was cast on him, it would be no problem.
Shu Yu listened to his analysis and gradually became tempted.
Yunzheng stored the crossbow arrow away and then suddenly whispered in her ear, “I guess you haven’t told the old lady about your plans to hunt tigers in the mountains, have you? If I come along, don’t you think she’ll be more at ease?”
That was it, Shu Yu was completely persuaded.
She had previously been instructed by Fang Xiyue to discuss it properly with her parents, but Shu Yu herself had never really talked to the old lady about it.
Shu Yu looked at Yunzheng, who appeared utterly confident, and clicked her tongue twice, “Alright then.”
So off she went with the crossbow arrow to persuade the old lady.
The old lady was quite frightened when she heard about hunting tigers and obviously didn’t agree.
Shu Yu showed her the powerful weapon in her hands, but she still shook her head. It wasn’t until Yunzheng came over.
The old lady, “…” agreed.
Shu Yu just couldn’t understand why? Why was it that after Yunzheng simply said ‘I will accompany her’, the old lady was conflicted for just a moment and then reassured?
