The Queen Doesn't Want to Die
Chapter 283. Toxic Arrow Trial
Pei Zhang Xi looked at Lu Jing Yu's back which looked filled with disappointment. He understood that at this time his wife must be very angry and disappointed in him. But what power he is currently in is a bad dilemma. But if things were like what Lu Jing Yu had told him, he would never hesitate if he would definitely choose Lu Jing Yu and their son, Pei Zhi Hui....
"Your Majesty, a third of the required poison has been completed. General Yuan would conduct an experiment before the poison was made entirely to know its efficacy if used. Does Your Majesty want to see it?" Mo Ting came and reported on the development of the preparations that were mostly carried out in King Rui's residence because compared to other places, King Rui's residence was considered the most suitable because the security in King Rui's Residence was very strict. In addition, it is strategically located because it is on the outskirts of the capital that is closer than the city gate.
"Hem. We're going." Pei Zhang Xi nodded lightly after he glanced at where Lu Jing Yu was going with a long sigh. Then turned around and left together with Mo Ting to the residence of King Rui.
***
The residence of King Rui is the largest of all the other princely residences. Pei Zhang Xi used to be a warrior who worked the most at the border along with the soldiers. Therefore, when Pei Zhang Xi started to build his residence, he used the place for training compared to the place to stay.
In fact, the land occupied by the King Rui Residence was so large that despite spending a lot of space for the headquarters and training ground, the place used to build a house for him was still quite spacious.
After being moved away by Pei Zhang Xi and Lu Jing Yu, the layout and cleanliness of every room in the courtyard were also well maintained. But as these soldiers conducted their activities on the training ground that was behind the residence, the front of the King Rui residence looked deserted and deserted.
To get to the training ground or the headquarters of the soldiers, there was no need to enter through the main gate but the rear gate which was even wider than the main gate. The horse that Pei Zhang Xi was riding on had just entered the back gate when he heard all sorts of typical sounds of people practicing.
The training field is also divided into several parts depending on what type of exercise is done. And the most spent place is arrow training because it takes a large place to hone these skills. In addition to arrows, these soldiers learned swordsmanship, spears and also close combat using special sharp knives.
At this moment, the entire field was filled with soldiers who were training. Everyone had learned the news of the arrival of the enemy troops who were planning to attack their Empire, even though they were part of the Empire's army, but compared to carrying out their obligations, they were, the thing that made their spirits smolder was that they all felt that protecting the security of the Shao Empire was part of their responsibilities as citizens as well as part of society that had been saved. Right now, no one is going to relax. Everyone trained hard to improve their abilities.
Some senior soldiers taught them some techniques and movements. The understanding of their war strategy is also carefully studied along with their unique secret code that must be understood by all these soldiers so as not to occur misinformation during the war.
As they saw the back gate open, they glanced at it with the corner of their eyes. After they found out if Pei Zhang Xi was coming, they stopped their practice and started greeting )wi Zhang Xi respectfully.
"good. Continue your training well." Pei Zhang Xi replied firmly. His domineering aura made everyone become even more excited to train.
"Your Majesty!" Everyone replied firmly before returning to start their training.
"Your Majesty, you're coming." General Liu in charge of the training area immediately came and greeted Pei Zhang Xi.
"Hem. What about progress here? Will the new members be able to adjust?"
"They work well Your Majesty. Moreover, the members who had just come had a high fighting spirit. They will not stop practicing before they master a technique that is taught. So even though they were previously ordinary citizens without basic martial skills, they were quite easy to teach and achieve good progress." Answer General Liu.
Pei Zhang Xi nodded in satisfaction. "good. Continue to teach them. Make sure there are no mistakes."
"Your Majesty." General Liu nodded firmly. He immediately turned around and headed back towards the field.
Pei Zhang Xi left after that. He immediately headed to a large building like a hall used for special training. It was in this place that the poison made by Xian Yuan An would be tested before being used in war.
Inside the building, General Liu was talking to Xia Yuan An on the edge of the area. Together with them were some archers who were watching General Liu and Xia Yuan An who were explaining some things to them. When they saw Pei Zhang Xi coming, they stopped and greeted respectfully.
"No need for formalities. What about preparation?" Pei Zhang Xi waved his hand as he approached quickly.
"It's all done, Your Majesty. We will use goats as an experimental medium because the strength of goats is considered closest to human strength." General Yuan replied while pointing at some goats that were about ten meters away from them. These goats were tied to a pole. It could be poison to the goat directly, but it will not give the same effect as the poison given by being harvested
"All right then. Your Majesty has been here, I think this experiment can be done now." Said General Yuan while gesturing to his men to immediately begin his trial.
Five people stood in a predetermined spot. The distance between these archers and the goats was twenty meters, which was the average distance of how the arrows were fired. They would shoot each one of the goats in front of them within that distance to find out what the effect would be and how long the poison effect would take to work.
"Ready!" General Yuan stood in line with them and gave a cue. The five archers immediately positioned their arrows precisely. Pulling the arrow from his bow tightly. Lock the target with the body parts that have been ordered to them because all archers have predetermined parts.
The five goats felt a threatening look at them and immediately panicked. They continued to move in revolt even though they had been tied up with ropes. But the rope that binds them is basically loose and makes it easier for goats to move freely but still cannot escape from the place. Instantly, the boisterous sounds of these frightened goats filled the air.
Upon seeing that everyone was ready, general Yuan immediately continued his precepts. "Foot!"
Syutt
Syutt
Syutt
Syutt
Syutt
Five arrows shot out through the empty air. The archers were carefully selected this time and were the most capable archers of all the archers. So even though the goats continued to move in confusion, these archers managed to hit the predetermined body parts of the goats.
These goats immediately fell down after their bodies were hit by arrows with different places. Some are harvested in the chest, head, front legs, back legs, and some are harvested in the pan-tat section. All the goats showed the same reaction. They immediately fell down and lost their consciousness a few seconds after being hit by the arrow.
"good. Then how long will it take for these goats to be able to wake up again?" Pei Zhang Xi asked Xia Yuan An. Indeed, their purpose of smearing arrows with poison was not to kill the opposing soldiers but only to incapacitate them. After all, they would be useful if they were still alive.
"It takes approximately eight to ten hours to be free from the effects of this poison." Xia Yuan An replied confidently.
"good. In this period of time, it was likely that the war was over. And even if it's not finished yet, as long as our troops can suppress the enemies, we can secure these fallen soldiers."
