After being universally criticized online, I went viral on military-themed variety shows.

Chapter 479 Weapons and Equipment, Soft Sword

After glancing at the various weapons neatly arranged in the compartment, Li Chengxiao took a step back.

Seeing that the people next to him had heard the noise and looked over, he explained, "I brought some, you can choose."

Jiang Hanying immediately reached down to his lower back and found the outline of a dagger.

She couldn't help but pout, "You always carry it with you?"

"Ah."

This used to be a spot that was exclusively for her!
But considering the size of my own body, I'll pass!

The world is different; she must be magnanimous.

Anyway, it's just a weapon with no spirit!

While the two were whispering to each other, the others had already decisively chosen the weapons they wanted to use.

Although Li Jingmo and Que Lu were also going to enter Lan Palace, their main responsibilities were logistics, medical care, and assisting with the evacuation. Even if a conflict did occur, it was highly unlikely that they would be the ones to actually fight. However, just to be on the safe side, it would be more reassuring to have some weapons on hand.

Li Jingmo chose a folding knife that resembled a scalpel. Although the blade was small, its sharpness was no less than that of the scalpels he had specially customized.

Que Lu was more familiar with the silver needles he had learned since childhood, so this time he naturally chose a weapon similar to silver needles. On the surface, it was just an inconspicuous wristband, but it contained many thin needles. Although they were not poisonous, if they were stuck into acupoints, they would be enough to make the person who was pricked suffer a lot.

Lin Shuangshuang was a bit more conflicted compared to the other two.

Although she had learned some basic self-defense techniques, it was enough to deal with one or two ordinary people with bad intentions. But when she encountered a real expert, it was not enough. She could only try to withstand the injuries while relying on her strength.

In the end, it was Zhu Heng who helped her choose.

Two metal rings can be worn from the calf to the ankle, which not only provide impact resistance but also have an unexpected effect when kicking someone.

The downside is that it's heavy; it's difficult for most people to walk while wearing it, let alone kick someone. But it's just right for Lin Shuangshuang to use.

He also had a pair of black gloves on his hands. On the surface, they were for decoration, but they were actually made from a metal ore with high ductility and strength, forged into threads and woven with silk. They served a similar purpose to metal rings, combining defense with unexpected lethality.

These two items were clearly carefully chosen. Lin Shuangshuang put them on and tried them on, and was very satisfied. "Thank you, Aunt Heng. I will make good use of them."

Zhu Heng was almost dazzled by the smile on her face, and immediately waved her hand, "Weapons are just external things, protecting yourself is the most important. You can have these, anyway, no one can use them if they stay here, they're just destined to gather dust."

Before Lin Shuangshuang could refuse, she turned to look at Jiang Hanying, who was lagging behind, and asked, "Hanying? What weapon are you better at? Do you want Aunt Heng to help you choose?"

He seemed to be addicted to giving gifts.

Jiang Hanying was suddenly asked the question. She turned her head to look at him and replied without thinking, "Sword."

Zhu Heng raised an eyebrow.

Although modern weapons are more common, private ownership is strictly prohibited in their area.

While cold weapons can still be used by those who need them, nowadays people mostly use more modern cold weapons, such as daggers, short knives, and hand daggers, which are small, easy to carry, and quite lethal.

But cold weapons like swords are quite ancient.

Look around now, who would dare to carry or flaunt a sword in public? Seeing everyone's surprised reaction, Jiang Hanying added, "Anything else is fine too, I'm not picky."

It wouldn't really matter to her if she didn't carry a weapon, but since everyone else did, if she didn't carry something with her, they probably wouldn't be happy about it.

Moreover, if a conflict were to actually occur when they arrived at the destination, she couldn't just fabricate something out of nothing.

"It's alright, I actually have one here that you should be able to use."

As Zhu Heng spoke, she turned around, stood on tiptoe, and reached out to take a rectangular box from the top of the weapon compartment. After taking it down, she placed it in her husband's hand, who was standing to the side. When she opened the box, she saw that the contents were wrapped in a layer of soft leather shaped like a belt.

She grasped the hilt and drew the sword. After pulling it from its sheath, a snow-white, silvery sword, estimated to be less than a millimeter thick, was revealed to all.

"This is a belt sword, a type of soft sword," with a slight bend, the blade immediately curved into a circle, "but this thing is too difficult to use, and it's easy to cut yourself if you're not careful. Right now, no one in the entire Que family knows how to use it, and it's been sitting here for quite a while. Hanying, do you think you can use it?"

Jiang Hanying took the sword hilt from Zhu Heng. Soft swords are inherently light, and the one in her hand was even thinner than usual, only a little over a centimeter thick. It felt almost weightless in her hand.

He took a few steps back and flicked the sword lightly into the air. Under the watchful eyes of everyone holding their breath, the sword bent into an unexpected arc, moving like a snake, yet without harming the person wielding it in the slightest. "Not bad."

Experts will know if there is one as soon as they take action.

Among those present who knew ancient martial arts, only Que Bingchen and Zhu Heng, who came from families with a long tradition of martial arts, could discern some of the secrets even from Jiang Hanying's simple demonstration.

This girl is really skilled; you could even say she's quite adept and beautiful!
Li Chengxiao had no doubt that Jiang Hanying could use a sword, but this was the first time he had seen Jiang Hanying use a longsword.

It felt different from when I used a short sword or just my fists and feet.

If he had to use a word to describe it, the first one that came to mind would be "as easy as using one's own arm"!
The sword seemed to come alive in Jiang Hanying's hands!

Zhu Heng once again generously tossed her hand, "This sword is yours too."

Although the sword was quite valuable, as evidenced by the fact that it had been kept in a high-end place and heavily protected, it was completely useless here. In her opinion, it would be better to give it to someone who knew how to use it.

Jiang Hanying didn't stand on ceremony with her. She took the soft leather scabbard that was handed to her and put it back in. Then, she flicked it to her waist with her other hand, and the sword blade immediately wrapped around her waist and got precisely into the hidden clasp.

Paired with the horse-face skirt she was already wearing, it actually looked quite good together, and didn't look out of place at all.

Who would have thought there was a sword hidden inside?

"How is it? Doesn't it look good?"

When asked, Li Chengxiao had no choice but to lower his eyes and look at the waist surrounded by the soft sword. When the sword was drawn just now, he only needed to scan it to estimate its length, which was about ninety centimeters.

At this moment, the sword was stuck at his waist with its ends stacked together, leaving about ten centimeters of length. The waist circumference of the person in front of him was immediately and passively brought into his perception.

This made him glance at Jiang Hanying's stomach again.

Where did all that food go after I ate so much for lunch?

"cough!"

Zhu Heng couldn't help but cough lightly. How could someone stare at a girl's waist like that, completely mesmerized?

Li Chengxiao immediately snapped out of his daze and nodded, "It looks good."
