Chapter 1282: Chapter 1081: The New Emperor’s Favor_1 Chapter 1282: Chapter 1081: The New Emperor’s Favor_1 Capital City, Da’an Palace.
Yang Wenxiao lay casually on the couch, holding a handheld crossbow, examining it over and over.
After looking it over, he took out some tools and slowly dismantled the handheld crossbow.
He had personally overseen the manufacturing process of the Divine Crossbow, and the principle of the handheld crossbow was similar. He dismantled the handheld crossbow, then piece by piece, he put it back together.
By the time he finished, it was already evening when Emperor Yong’an, Yang Ye, and Yao Xian arrived.
Yang Ye had been traveling outside for nearly a year, covering every corner of Daqi, and had finally returned to the Capital.
When he returned to the Capital, Emperor Yong’an and Yao Xian personally stood at the city gate to welcome him, then the family of three went to Da’an Palace to see Yang Wenxiao.
“Grandpa Emperor!” Yang Ye saw Yang Wenxiao and immediately quickened his pace, raising his arm to encircle Yang Wenxiao’s arm, “Grandpa Emperor, your grandson has missed you so much!”
Yang Wenxiao lifted his hand to pat him on the head, a loving smile on his face, “You’ve lost weight, it’s been hard on you.”
“Not at all, I’ve been eating very well outside, and it wasn’t at all hard. Being able to see the Mount Jiang you personally conquered, I felt both proud and happy. Father and my elder brother didn’t even have the chance to see it!” Yang Yefeng’s eyes narrowed into slits as he spoke, rubbing his head against Yang Wenxiao’s shoulder.
This greatly pleased Yang Wenxiao, and he burst into hearty laughter, “You really have a way with words.”
“Not at all, what I said is the absolute truth! And I’ve personally drawn a map of Mount Jiang. Now it’s just in its initial form, but once I complete it, I’ll hang it in Da’an Palace, how about that?” Yang Ye said, lifting his chin in a look begging for praise.
Yang Wenxiao flicked him on the forehead, “Where’s the drawing?”
“In my luggage.”
“Go fetch it for me.”
“Right away!” Upon hearing this, Yang Ye immediately instructed a palace maid to get it.
“Here, take a look at this novelty item.” Yang Wenxiao said as he handed the handheld crossbow on the table next to him to Yang Ye, “Made by Tong Sanlang, a mini version of the Divine Crossbow. Its power is acceptable.”
“Oh?” Yang Ye took the handheld crossbow with curiosity, and Emperor Yong’an also leaned in close, asking, “A mini version of the Divine Crossbow?”
“Yes, I just tested it. It can shoot a chicken dead.”
“It can only shoot chickens?” Yang Ye’s face immediately showed disappointment upon hearing this.
“It’s meant to be a small trinket for use as a concealed weapon, but if you smear the arrowhead with poison, then its power would be considerable.” Yang Wenxiao commented, “I merely had Tong Sanlang try out the feel of it, who would have thought he’d make a mini version based on it.”
Such an impressive young man, why doesn’t he bear the surname Yang!
“Impressive indeed,” Yang Ye praised upon hearing this.
Although he hadn’t been in the Capital for almost a year, he was aware of all the major and minor incidents that occurred there.
The couple Tong Sanlang and Qiao Xiaomai were so capable they could ascend ninety thousand miles with the wind.
One could not help but admire them.
Even as a prince, he truly couldn’t compare to Tong Sanlang.
“Exactly, so talented. Let’s give him some face and release Shen Bai,” proposed Yang Wenxiao.
He had received Tong Sanlang’s letter long ago, but he had been holding back without taking a stance.
Now that Yang Hao had sent over the handheld crossbow, he hoped he would reward Tong Sanlang.
Rewarding him, this handheld crossbow didn’t warrant a rise in rank. The only reward could be to bestow gold, silver, or jewels.
Those things, neither Qiao Xiaomai nor Tong Sanlang lacked, so they might as well grant Tong Sanlang’s earlier request.
He knew this was actually Yang Hao’s intention, but no matter, let Yang Hao owe this couple a favor.
Yang Hao, as the Crown Prince, would soon become the new Emperor. A favor from the new Emperor was far more valuable than gold, silver, or jewels.
