Chapter 636: Trusted Meng Yunzheng
Shu Yu was delighted and quickly took the small pocket crossbow from Meng Yunzheng's hands. Following his instructions, she tied it to her left wrist. Instantly, she felt a slight weight and stiffness in her wrist, making it less flexible.
Meng Yunzheng then loaded an arrow onto the crossbow and the two of them went to the courtyard. They aimed at a round piece of wood not far away and gently pressed the trigger.
"Xiu!" A powerful force pressed against Shu Yu's wrist, and the arrow shot out, deeply embedding itself into the wood. Shu Yu's eyes lit up. "This thing works well."
Meng Yunzheng found another crossbow and strapped it to his own wrist. Shu Yu was taken aback. "You prepared one for yourself too?"
"Yes, I know you're going into the mountains, so I'll accompany you," Meng Yunzheng replied. He seemed to be more familiar with the crossbow and effortlessly shot arrows into the wood, splitting it into two pieces.
Shu Yu abruptly stopped her action of shooting more arrows and looked at him in surprise. "You... you want to go with me?"
"Yes, I should be able to help a little," Meng Yunzheng said with a smile.
Shu Yu suppressed the urge to roll her eyes. With your skills, you'll only be of a little help? I'm afraid you can even bring down a whole tiger by yourself.
Meng Yunzheng chuckled. "Besides, when you enter the mountains, you can only use bows and arrows. This crossbow arrow might not be suitable to expose."
After all, a crossbow arrow was a weapon, and the Da Su dynasty didn't have strict regulations regarding it. As long as it wasn't a highly lethal weapon, ordinary people could use it. There was a lot of leeway in determining the degree of lethality. The one Meng Yunzheng had prepared was undoubtedly a formidable weapon.
However, just because something was suitable for ordinary people didn't mean it was suitable for prisoners. If prisoners could use crossbow arrows, wouldn't it disrupt the system? The bows and arrows Shu Yu and the others used for hunting weren't very sharp.
Shu Yuxin was currently considered a prisoner, and Meng Yunzheng had prepared the crossbow arrows for her as a precaution. If she encountered a life-threatening situation, she could protect herself in time, although there weren't many opportunities to use it in normal circumstances.
But when it came to hunting tigers in the mountains, the probability of using crossbow arrows was almost one hundred percent. Unfortunately, Shu Yu wasn't acting alone; she had people like Ma Lu who were cooperating with her.
If they saw Shu Yu's crossbow arrows, it would undoubtedly cause unnecessary trouble.
Having Meng Yunzheng accompany her would be much more convenient. Even if Shu Yu had to shoot the crossbow in an emergency, she could easily pass it off as Meng Yunzheng's doing.
As Shu Yu listened to his analysis, she gradually felt tempted.
Meng Yunzheng put away the crossbow arrows and suddenly leaned in close to her ear, whispering, "I guess you haven't told grandma about your plan to hunt tigers in the mountains, right? With me by your side, would grandma feel more at ease?"
Damn it, Shu Yu was completely convinced.
She had been instructed by Fang Xiyue to have a proper discussion with her parents, but she hadn't actually talked to Madam about it.
Shu Yu looked at Meng Yunzheng, who seemed confident, and clicked her tongue twice. "Fine."
Then, she went to persuade grandma with the crossbow arrows in her hand.
The old lady was frightened when she heard about hunting tigers and naturally refused to agree. Shu Yu showed her the formidable weapon in her hand, but grandma still shook her head. Then, Meng Yunzheng arrived.
Grandma... she finally agreed.
Shu Yu couldn't understand why. Meng Yunzheng had only said, "I'll accompany her," and the old lady hesitated for a while before feeling reassured?
