Seeing this scene, Ningyan and others couldn't help but widen their eyes.

Just now, Bai Yuan was at least twenty steps away from the tree. Although not far, the arrows he shot out could not be considered real arrows. To be precise, they were just some wooden sticks. Yet they were so powerful that they penetrated deeply into the tree trunk.

But this is not the end yet, Bai Yuan continued to pull the trigger.

call out!call out!call out!

Another three simple arrows flew out and hit the target accurately.

"This is continuous shooting! There's no need to draw the bowstring at all, so convenient!"

Ningyan, Jimo Huaxue and others immediately saw the exquisiteness of this repeating crossbow. Its power was not a big deal, but its ability to fire continuously was indeed amazing.

"It's a pity that it's just an ordinary wooden crossbow. If better materials were used to make the crossbow body and arrowhead, it would be more powerful!"

Bai Yuan experimented with it and got a general idea of ​​the performance of this wooden crossbow.

He saw Ning Yan and others looking at the crossbow in his hands with extremely fiery eyes, and he couldn't help but smile.

"Want to try it?"

"miss you!"

All the girls nodded in unison. Naturally, they all wanted to try out this novel crossbow for themselves.

Bai Yuan handed the crossbow to them and let them play with it by themselves. He walked aside and sat down, thinking about how to use this thing to gain more benefits for himself.

If such a powerful weapon were to get out, it would be a great temptation for the king of any country.

Bai Yuan also didn't want Tianzong to become the target of public criticism again, so he had already made up his mind to find an opportunity to sell this thing to Ying Zheng.

Anyway, the disciples of the Tian Sect have little chance to go to the battlefield, so keeping it in his hands would just be a waste of a good thing.

But now is definitely not a good opportunity.

Ying Zheng had not yet taken power, so if he handed this thing over, it would be hard to say who would get it.

"What are you thinking about?"

Ning Yan and the others tried it out, then walked over excitedly. Seeing Bai Yuan in a daze, they waved their hands in front of him.

Bai Yuan shook his head slightly: "Nothing, you all tried it, how do you feel?"

"It's really a good thing, but the wood one is easily damaged."

Ningyan returned the crossbow to Bai Yuan. Bai Yuan took a look and was surprised to find that there were cracks on the crossbow.

However, he also knew that this could not be blamed on Ningyan and the others. This situation occurred because the structure of the mechanism itself would put a huge load on the crossbow. After all, its power was obvious to all.

Its material is just ordinary wood, so it naturally cannot withstand for too long.

A true 32mm semi-automatic crossbow must be made of metal materials, and the arrows used also need to be specially polished.

Including specially made arrowheads and arrow bodies.

Only in this way can it unleash its true power.

Thinking of this, Bai Yuan had no choice but to put this thing away first, and then find materials to make it again when he returned to Taiyi Mountain.

"It looks like we won't be able to stay in Xianyang for long before we have to go back."

Bai Yuan sighed, then asked Ning Yan and others to prepare and return to Taiyi Mountain tomorrow.

Then he went out alone to find Ying Zheng in Zhangtai Palace.

Arriving at the gate of Zhangtai Palace, Bai Yuan showed a token and asked the guards at the gate to go and report.

Soon, Gai Nie came out to greet him.

"Mr. Bai Yuan, please follow me!"

Following Gai Nie to a secluded side hall, Ying Zheng had already prepared tea and asked someone to give Bai Yuan a seat.

"Mr. Bai Yuan said he had something important to discuss with me? What is it?"

Ying Zheng asked with some curiosity.

This was the first time Bai Yuan took the initiative to come to him, so it was obviously not a trivial matter.

Bai Yuan took a sip of tea and put down the cup.

"I met with Lu Buwei last night. He told me that he was willing to return power to the king. I was skeptical about this, so I asked for divination."

Chapter 260: With more than thirty innate masters, who wouldn’t be greedy?

When Ying Zheng heard Bai Yuan talking about Lu Buwei, his eyes narrowed slightly, and then he waved to Gai Nie.

Gai Nie immediately understood, retreated, and ordered the secret shadow guards in the dark to be on guard all around.

The imperial guards outside the hall received orders immediately to stay away from the hall and impose martial law.

After doing all this, Gai Nie came back to report.

He nodded slightly to Ying Zheng, indicating that there was no problem.

At this time, Ying Zheng asked, "Mr. Bai Yuan, what is the result of this divination?"

"Before that, I have a question. Does Your Majesty believe that Lu Buwei will easily give up power?"

Bai Yuan lowered his voice and narrowed his eyes slightly.

Ying Zheng tapped his fingers lightly on the desk, closed his eyes and remained silent for a long time.

"He won't. He can't do it even if he really wants to."

After a long time, Ying Zheng finally answered Bai Yuan's question.

When Lu Buwei came to see him yesterday, he almost believed what he said at first, and he even felt a little guilty.

But after Lu Buwei left, Ying Zheng quickly calmed down and thought about the real intention of Lu Buwei's words.

Obviously, he was very clear that Lu Buwei could not give up power.

After hearing Ying Zheng's answer, Bai Yuan nodded slightly.

"I learned through divination last night that the king's coronation is a foregone conclusion, but there will be some twists and turns, and I'm afraid a war will break out!"

After hearing this, Ying Zheng and Gai Nie's eyes widened and their pupils shrank suddenly.

"Sir, do you mean that there may be rebellion?"

"It could also be an invasion by foreign enemies."

Ying Zheng clenched his fists. He didn't think Bai Yuan would joke with him about such a thing.

But whether it is someone internally attempting to rebel or external countries attacking Qin, it is not a trivial matter.

"No matter what, Your Majesty needs to make preparations early. Some things should be discussed carefully with the generals in the court."

Bai Yuan knew very well that Ying Zheng had no military power now, but when it came to war, how could he fight without soldiers?

Therefore, he had to win over military personnel in advance, such as Meng Ao, Bie Gong, Wang Jian and other generals.

After hearing this, Ying Zheng nodded slightly.

"I know about this matter. I will send someone to investigate. If there really is a war, you will be credited with a merit!"

To anticipate the enemy's moves is indeed a great achievement.

After hearing this, Bai Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly, smiled, and waved his hand slightly.

"Then I won't bother you, my king. I also need to go back to Tianzong to make some preparations."

Ying Zheng did not try to keep Bai Yuan, but asked Gai Nie to see him off.

In the dark corner of the hall, Xuan Jian, who was left behind by Ying Zheng to help him train the Shadow Guards, also heard their entire conversation.

He said nothing, turned around and left to find Bai Yuan.

At the gate of Zhangtai Palace, he stopped Bai Yuan and Gai Nie.

"I don't have time to go back now, so I'll ask you to take good care of Xianxian and her son."

Bai Yuan smiled and nodded.

"Don't worry, I will take them all to a safe place when I get back."

With Bai Yuan's assurance, Xuan Jian felt much more at ease and left quickly.

Coming out of Zhangtai Palace and walking on the road, Bai Yuan suddenly felt as if someone was following him in secret.

He glanced and saw a black figure in the distance.

The man was very fast and retreated as soon as Bai Yuan turned his gaze away.

"Net..."

Although it was just a quick glance, Bai Yuan could be sure that the man was a member of Luowang.

The other person had Luowang's iconic spider web symbol on his body.

"It seems that Luowang is indeed not at peace, but I don't know who sent them."

There was a gleam of light in Bai Yuan's eyes and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

No matter who it is, the game is starting to get interesting.

The next morning, Bai Yuan and others did not take the carriage, but rode fast horses directly and headed towards Taiyi Mountain.

The news of their hasty departure could not be concealed from the many forces in Xianyang City, but no one, including Lu Buwei, could guess why Bai Yuan left in a hurry just a few days after arriving in Xianyang.

When Bai Yuan and others left Xianyang, Yan Fei and Yue Shen of the Yin Yang family had already returned to the Nine Palaces of the Divine Capital in a carriage.

They set out a day earlier than Bai Yuan and did not dare to delay for a moment.

The two men found Donghuang Taiyi and had a secret conversation in Luosheng Hall for a long time. No one knew what they talked about, but afterwards, Donghuang Taiyi issued a new order.

He sent a large number of Yin-Yang disciples to gather intelligence from various countries.

On the other side, Bai Yuan and others rode at full speed and arrived at the village at the foot of Taiyi Mountain before noon.

At the entrance of the village, Xue Nu and Wei Xianxian were sitting together chatting when they suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves. They turned around and saw Bai Yuan and others. They were both confused and surprised.

"Sir? Why are you back so soon?"

The Snow Girl took the initiative to step forward to lead Bai Yuan's horse, and came close to him and asked curiously.

"Something happened, so I have to come back to make some preparations and gather everyone. I'm afraid we can't continue to live here. It won't be safe after a while."

Hearing this, Wei Xianxian was a little worried because she didn't see Xuan Jian come back.

Bai Yuan gave her a reassuring look.

"Xuan Jian is now working beside the King of Qin, so don't worry about him."

Wei Xianxian nodded slightly and breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as I hear that Xuan Jian is okay.

Soon, Yun Xi and others gathered all the dancers in an open space on the east side of the village.

They all received orders, so they packed their bags and were ready to go at any time.

Bai Yuan raised the whip in his hand and led everyone towards the Taiyi Palace on the mountain.

In Taiyi Palace, Chisongzi had already received Bai Yuan's letter in advance and knew that he wanted to bring all his maids up the mountain.

So he quickly had the guest rooms cleaned up so that they were more than enough to accommodate these people.

After all, when the Heaven and Man made the Covenant before, they were able to accommodate so many people from various schools of thought and various forces. Now, with less than 200 people, it is still no problem.

If word gets out that these are Bai Yuan's maids, it might not be good for him.

Having more than a hundred young and beautiful dancers serving as maids would make anyone envious, jealous and hateful. This life is really too corrupt!

This treatment is almost the same as that of some emperors.

However, these are not what Chisongzi cares about. Bai Yuan himself doesn't care what others think anyway, so why should he worry about it?

What Chisongzi was concerned about was that the maids brought by Bai Yuan were not weak in strength, and they were also a powerful force for Tianzong.

According to the previous descriptions of Jingxuzi and Qingxuzi, more than thirty of Bai Yuan's maids have reached the innate realm, and the rest are in the acquired realm. Their combat effectiveness is not weak, and they have fought with Luowang's killers before.

At first, Chisongzi didn’t quite believe it. After all, the number was too shocking.

But the last time Bai Yuan came back, he brought a dozen girls with him, and he had seen them all. He could confirm that these people were indeed at the innate realm.
