Jianghu: Get the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms at the beginning

The weapons camp occupies a large area and is very cleverly laid out. There are also preset mechanisms in many locations.

Following Zhang Jaw's footsteps, Lin Xiao soon arrived in front of a warehouse-like building.

The atmosphere here was very gloomy. Four teams were patrolling around. Lin Xiao looked around and even found a hidden sentry hidden in the corner.

Seeing this situation, he frowned slightly and said puzzledly to Zhang Jia: "General Zhang, according to my observation, you have four teams of eight people stationed here, and there are no less than ten secret sentries, even if they are thieves. No matter how powerful you are, it’s impossible to move twenty divine arm crossbows from inside!”

No wonder Lin Xiao was suspicious. Anyone who saw such an "iron barrel array" would feel that it was a shame to have it stolen.

The area of ​​this warehouse is not large. According to Lin Xiao's current opinion, the area does not exceed 60 square meters at most. There are more than 40 guards around such a big place. How can it be stolen?

If you have this ability, why not just grab it?

He opened his jaw and touched his nose with a smile. A trace of embarrassment flashed across his dark face, and he said: "In fact, there were not so many guards here at the beginning. I only sent two teams to patrol here. Isn't it stolen..."

Lin Xiao: "So you arranged for so many people after the theft?"

Opening his jaw and nodding his head, he said helplessly: "In fact, there are no more than five people in the entire weapons battalion who really know the specific arrival time of this batch of divine arm crossbows from the imperial court, including me. I launched an investigation as soon as the incident happened. , but no clues were found.”

When Lin Xiao heard these words, he said with great interest: "What about the other four people besides you?"

He opened his jaw and scratched his head: "One of those four people is a military adviser under the king, known as the Iron Faced Staff..."

As soon as Zhang Jaw spoke, he was interrupted by Lin Xiao, who frowned and said, "Iron-faced staff member Zhang Shun?"

"Um...eh?"

He opened his jaw and looked at the young man beside him in surprise: "Do you know the Iron Masked Military Advisor?"

Lin Xiao nodded disapprovingly and said: "I am a Jianghu person from Yanzhou, so naturally I have dealt with the iron-faced staff."

"Oh I got it!"

Hearing this, he was no longer surprised, but continued: "The other three people, one is Wang Dusi of the right barracks, and the other is Liu Dusi of our left barracks. He is also my personal guard. As for the last one, he is from the imperial court." The eldest son, Eunuch Wei."

"There are also eunuchs from the imperial court in this escort team?"

"Hey! Young hero, be careful what you say!"

He opened his jaw and looked around. Seeing that no one was paying attention, he whispered: "The current general manager of the imperial court is Eunuch Liu. Eunuch Wei did not know what kind of ecstasy was poured into him, and he was adopted by Liu as his adopted son. Externally, one hand covers the sky!"

"Then where is Eunuch Wei now? What happened to the four people except you?"

Zhang Jia said with some guilt: "Zhang's staff is the king's surrogate. Naturally, Zhang does not dare to deal with it. Liu Dusi is my personal guard. I can only kill my relatives out of justice. He is currently being held in the dungeon. Also being held in the right barracks is Liu Dusi. Wang Dusi, but I am not as ruthless as the commander in the right barracks, he beat his subordinates half to death right in front of us..."

When Lin Xiao heard this, he nodded in disbelief.

Stealing the imperial court's divine arm crossbow is a capital offense. If the investigation is carried out to the end, even if it is not him, the person in charge of the army will be implicated. It is human nature to be so decisive.

"Then there is nothing wrong with Eunuch Wei?"

He opened his mouth slightly and smiled helplessly, obviously confirming Lin Xiao's statement.

"Actually, looking at it this way, you are the most suspect among these five people?"

As the two of them were walking forward, Lin Xiao suddenly said this out of the blue.

"No way, Young Master Lin, you can eat randomly, but you can't talk nonsense!"

Zhang Jiao immediately denied it and said: "I have been dragged away and investigated twice by the superiors."

Um……

Lin Xiao lowered his head and gently rubbed his chin.

If there is nothing wrong with what Zhang Jia said, then only two of the five people could have the motive to commit the crime!

The eunuch was a member of the imperial court. He traveled lightly and left as soon as he came. It was obviously impossible for him to take away so many divine arm crossbows.

The iron-faced staff member Zhang Shun was the acting king. Although there were mixed opinions about this man's scheming in the past life forum, at least he was loyal enough to the acting king Zhu Yourong, and even helped the acting king block the sword and almost died.

Obviously it can't be Zhang Shun.

As for opening his jaw, the previous test was just a casual joke on his part.

If it is really him, the release of the side mission will prompt for camp selection and there will be a hidden line, but there is no hidden line mentioned in the previous mission notes, and even the rewards are segmented, which means that it is impossible to open the jaw. .

As for the two captains, one was directly handed over to the dungeon by his boss, and the other was directly tortured and beaten to death. For a while, he really didn't know which person was more likely to be the mastermind behind the scenes.

Are these five not even the masterminds behind the scenes?

"Kacha!"

With a crisp sound, he opened his jaw and slowly opened the door to the warehouse. As the heavy door was pushed open, the air flow brought up dust, causing both of them to cough.

Lin Xiao covered his mouth and nose and waved his right hand to disperse the dust in front of him.

As the air circulated completely, the dust fell to the ground, and the scene inside appeared in front of the two of them.

The Divine Arm Crossbow is very large, comparable to many medium-sized melee weapons. It is described in "Mr. Cuiwei's Northern Expedition": "The teeth of the pile are one foot and eight inches, the head of the gourd is four inches, the stirrups are two feet, and the length of the pile is two feet. Three inches, and the corner eaves are four feet and five inches long.”

There is also a description of this weapon in "Mengxi Bi Tan": "In the middle of Xining, Li Dingxian held his crossbow sideways, like a bow and used dry stirrups. He stretched the stirrups from the ground and shot three hundred steps. He was able to dig holes and re-tie them. This is called 'God's Arm Crossbow' is the most powerful weapon."

The rack where the Divine Arm Crossbow is stored is called "Lanqi". This name may be unfamiliar to many people, but you should know it when talking about weapon racks.

The lanqi here was specially customized to place the divine arm crossbow. With the sunlight shining on it, Lin Xiao could clearly see the cold light reflected on the divine arm crossbow!

If this thing were given a crossbow, it could shoot him right through!

Following the layout of the entire warehouse, Lin Xiao looked around. Sure enough, as Zhang Jia said, there were originally thirty divine arm crossbows placed here. Unfortunately, because only ten were left, the other twenty orchids were randomly placed. Set aside, a layer of dust had fallen on the wooden shelf.

[You have reached the place where the God's Arm Crossbow is placed, the mission progress is +2%, and the current mission progress is: 3%! 】

As the mission prompt sounded, Lin Xiao suddenly thought of something and asked Zhang Jia: "General Zhang, how many people know about the theft of the Divine Arm Crossbow?"

Hearing this, he opened his jaw and affirmed: "No more than ten at most!"

"What about the acting king?"

"have no idea!"

Zhang Jia whispered: "However, the Iron Mask's staff issued a death order, saying that the twenty stolen divine arm crossbows must be taken out within a week before the next king takes over the imperial edict, otherwise we will be sent outside the Great Wall... "

Having said this, he opened his jaw and smiled bitterly and cupped his hands towards Lin Xiao: "Young hero, you are a member of the world. I have seniors and juniors..."

"Hey, okay, okay! I'll do my best."

Lin Xiao was too lazy to fight with Zhang Jia and waved his hand in disgust.

"Why!"

There is no peace outside the Great Wall now. A small battle takes three days, and a big fight takes ten days. Life or death is uncertain there!

Lin Xiao observed the surroundings carefully and found nothing new, so he could only leave it at that.

He thought for a while and said: "Let's do this, General Zhang, take me to the dungeon to see the two captains."

"no problem!"

Zhang Jia said in agreement and closed the door of the warehouse.

"The dungeon is over by the six doors. It's almost time to eat. How about Shaoxia Lin take a break while we have a meal and then set off with me in the afternoon?"

"Um...ok!"

"Then let's be respectful rather than obey!"

A smile appeared on Zhang Jia's originally worried face.

but.

Just as the two of them were walking towards the station, suddenly a guard saw Zhang Jia and ran over in a hurry, even the armor on his body became crooked in the process.

He opened his jaw and cursed secretly: "What are you in a hurry for? Didn't you see that I am here to receive Young Master Lin?"

The guard burst into tears and said something shocking.

"Sir, there is news from the six gates. Liu Dusi is dead! He died in the dungeon!"

"What?!"
