C109

Xuanyuan Yun's eyes involuntarily narrowed when he saw the bow, then he looked at Xiao Lan with a gaze as deep as the abyss.

"You Lanyi" had actually announced the crossbow to the public!

At this time, Duanmu Zimo had already tightly pursed his lips.

Who would have thought, who would have thought …

After a short moment, Duanmu Zimo's eyes looked at Xiao Lan, and they could not help but emit a fiery light.

Xuanyuan Hong Xi looked at the crossbow again and again. That's right, it was indeed the thing that Xuanyuan Po wanted to forge. He had his people secretly draw the blueprint before, it was exactly the same.

Xuanyuan Hongxi read it more than ten times before he finally calmed down and raised his head to look at Xiao Lan.

"Regent princess, where did you get this crossbow?"

Xiao Lan smiled at Xuanyuan Hong, now he was willing to call her the Queen's Consort?

Xiao Lan smirked slightly as she took the crossbow back from Xuanyuan Hong Xi's hand. Raising her head, she aimed at the signboard in the main hall and pulled the wrench.

"Swoosh!"

With a sharp cry, the arrow flew towards the signboard with the force of a hundred thousand catties.

"Peng!"

Under the loud sound, the huge board was directly smashed into pieces, and the arrow unexpectedly pierced through the main beam without the slightest damage.

The hall immediately became deathly silent. Everyone's eyes widened in shock.

This... To think that this sharp weapon had such power!

Dust fell from the beam.

"Good, good stuff!"

Xuanyuan Hongxi suddenly shouted.

When the crowd saw this, they all retracted their minds and quickly agreed. "That's right, your majesty. It's indeed a good thing."

"This is an incredible thing."

"Yes, yes."

"…"

Xuanyuan Hongxi did not pay attention to the crowd and directly took a step towards Xiao Lan. His gaze swept over Xiao Lan from top to bottom like a torch and gradually revealed a look of admiration and profoundness.

"Regent Consort, where did you get such a powerful object?"

Xiao Lan gripped the crossbow and looked towards Xuanyuan Hongxi. "Your majesty, if I were to reveal where it came from and who did it, would the person who did it be rewarded?"

Xuanyuan Hongxi waved his hand, "Of course, if such a capable person is willing to serve us, I am willing to fulfill all of his conditions, as long as he can bring it up."

"Oh?"

Xiao Lan slightly raised her voice, and a smile quickly appeared on her face. "The Emperor is really generous."

Xiao Lan suddenly raised the crossbow again and aimed it at Gao Yuan.

Instantly, Gao Yuan's legs went limp, and he dropped to his knees with the imperial edict in his hands.

"Princess, please don't scare this servant, alright?"

Seeing how Gao Yuan was acting, Xiao Lan's smile grew wider as she raised her crossbow and looked towards Xuanyuan Hongxi.

"Your Majesty, I made this."

"You?"

Xuanyuan Hongxi's eyes gradually widened as everyone revealed a look of shock.

"Do you know how to make something that even the Dragon Reaches Pavilion can't?"

In the face of Xuanyuan Hongxi's questioning, Xiao Lan smiled and lightly placed his finger on the trigger.

"Yeah, I secretly learned a few moves at the Sleeping Dragon Pavilion. After coming back, I carefully pondered for a few days and then did it."

Hearing this, Xuanyuan Hong Qi held his breath.

Stealthily learning a few moves, after pondering for a few days, he managed to do it?

It was as simple as she said it would be!

Xuanyuan Hongxi tried his best to suppress his shock, his gaze deep as he thought.

It must be that "Wanda Yi" was hiding something, or that she had an expert behind her that she did not wish to reappear in the world …

In the distance, looking at Xuanyuan Hongxi's appearance, Xuanyuan Wentian suddenly thought of himself. He had the same look when he had first seen the sketch of the design that "Canglan Yi" had drawn.

Hesitating, not believing, and even guessing that there might be some experts behind her. It was likely that Xuanyuan Hongxi was also imagining the existence of experts.

However …

Xuanyuan Yun's long and narrow eyes gradually landed on Xiao Lan's elegant face.

Everything was done by her. She only spoke of the shocking matter so casually as if it was a joke.

The corner of Xuanyuan Yun's mouth curled up into a meaningful smile.

Perhaps he had forgotten that he was such a person. The more shocking and unbelievable something was, the more he spoke calmly, just like when the wind was blowing past, and when the wind blew past, there would be an earth-shattering tsunami within the hearts of those who felt it.

At this moment, everyone's attention had shifted to the matter of the imperial edict and Nan Xuan. All they could see were the crossbow and the people who had forged them.

However, there was only Gao Yuan who was different amongst the crowd. At this moment, all he was thinking about was his own miserable life, which was about to be forgotten by the Emperor.

Seeing that no one cared about him, Gao Yuan had no choice but to tremble as he pleaded to Xiao Lan.

"Esteemed wangfei, swords have no eyes, their flesh is filthy with blood. Look at your crossbow …"

Xiao Lan raised her eyebrows slightly. "I also want to move away. The main thing is that the thing in your hand really annoyed me."

"This..."

Gao Yuan looked down at the imperial edict in his hand and shut his mouth tight.

Did the Regent's Consort mean that she was bored by the imperial edict?!

This was a great disrespect, even contempt for the emperor!

He didn't dare to reply to that.

Xuanyuan Hongxi, who was still full of suspicion, frowned when she heard Xiao Lan's words.

This Regent's Consort was simply unbridled!

However, this was not the time to show his anger at the dragon's face. He had to figure out what was going on with the crossbow.

"Regent princess, did you really forge this crossbow?"

"Yes."

Xiao Lan once again answered with certainty.

"How long do you need to forge such a powerful crossbow?"

Xiao Lan thought for a moment. "Five days."

Five days …

"Fine, then you can stay in the palace for five days and create another strong crossbow like this one. I will only believe your words when the time comes."

Xiao Lan looked towards Xuanyuan Hongxi as his eyes shifted slightly. "Your Majesty, how about this subject's daughter forge an even more powerful crossbow for you?"

"Stronger?"

"Yes."

"Sure," Xuanyuan Hongxi agreed happily.

"But …"

Xiao Lan's tone suddenly changed. "But if you want to create an even more powerful girl with a crossbow, you must maintain a happy mood. Otherwise, you won't be able to create one, so …"

Xiao Lan carelessly glanced at the imperial edict in Gao Yuan's hand.

Xuanyuan Hongji gave a cold laugh. Who would believe this reason? However, in order to see an even more powerful crossbow, Xuanyuan Hongji was willing to believe her.

"Alright, I understand."

"Gao Yuan, retreat."

The meaning of this sentence was clear to everyone. However, there was no need to announce it.

Xuanyuan Hong Xi turned to look at Duanmu Zimo and Duanmu Yan.

"It must have been noisy for half a day. Prince Mo and the princess are tired too. Let's head back early to rest. As for the marriage, we can talk about it another day."

Immediately, the infernal energy around Duanmu Zimo surged again, but it was quickly suppressed by him with all his might.

Duanmu Zimo slowly raised his gaze to look at Xiao Lan. The depths of his eyes were as deep as a bottomless whirlpool.

"Regent wangfei, what a great way to say death together. This crown prince would like to see if you can do it."

"Yan'er, let's go!"

With that, Duanmu Zimo and Duanmu Yan left in large strides.
