Peasant Woman's Decreed Life as a Wife

Chapter 1455: After the modification: Chapter 1452 Heart-Protecting Mirror

Lu Chuan spoke excitedly, not yet realizing he had inadvertently revealed that he had just deceived Ye Muyu.

Sure enough, upon hearing his words, Ye Muyu said gloomily, “You only used eighty percent of your strength?”

What a waste of her excitement!

Seeing that the lady was unhappy, Lu Chuan trembled in fear.

Chu Heng reached out to tap her nose, comforting her, “Let me try.”

“Alright, you are indeed considerate, husband.”

Lu Chuan silently complained in his heart: If he dared to be considerate, the master would be the first to cut him down.

Chu Heng took a sword, stood at a distance, and stabbed at the armor.

The chain mail shook, a scratch appeared on the iron piece, but thanks to its curved shape, the tip of the sword still did not penetrate. However, upon closer inspection, one could see that the iron piece likely wouldn’t withstand another of his attacks.

Lu Chuan saw this and couldn’t help but sigh. The speed was like the master’s, both scholarly and martial. Although he didn’t use his full force, he knew that even if given another chance, breaking the chain mail wouldn’t be possible in one or two attempts.

Ye Muyu touched the chain mail and frowned, “It’s still not good enough; the iron piece isn’t hard enough.”

Lu Chuan was stunned for a moment and blurted out, “The iron piece isn’t hard enough? What is hard enough then?”

Chu Heng understood that there were many harder metals in the world Ye Muyu lived in; the iron piece indeed did not seem hard enough to her.

Ye Muyu did not immediately change her plan but instead asked Chu Heng to continue testing, “Husband, try using a bow and arrow, preferably a heavier one.”

Ordinary soldiers’ bows and arrows only required ordinary armor for some protection, but Ye Muyu was worried about the Northern Barbarian Region or Duke Zheng’s men, possibly ambushing with arrows, and talented archers might harm him.

Chu Heng knew her meticulousness in handling matters; if he didn’t agree, she would remain uneasy. Without further words, he turned and had Lu Chuan bring the twelve-stone crossbow.

He lightly leaped onto the rooftop a distance away, prepared, and then aimed the bow at the grass man wearing the armor.

There was a swoosh, and an arrow feather hit the armor at lightning speed.

Ye Muyu, standing nearby, heard a crisp sound and saw the arrow feather pierce through the chain mail. She hurried over to examine the result.

Indeed, an iron armor piece cracked, and the arrow feather was stuck in the chain mail.

She was about to measure the depth of penetration when Chu Heng approached without disturbing her.

Ye Muyu removed the armor, discovering the arrow feather penetrated about a little finger’s joint length, not too deep. Apparently, the armor had absorbed much of the force. Due to the iron piece’s design, it could absorb the impact, and the arrow feather was skewed, indicating this.

“Husband, how much force did you use just now? Are there many people in Great Chu and the Northern Barbarian Region who have your archery skills?” Ye Muyu tilted her head and asked.

Chu Heng shook his head, “I used eighty percent of my strength. In both states, people who match my skills probably number fewer than ten, though exceptional talents are not excluded.”

Chu Heng did not boast; for greater lethality, the bow and arrow needed to be heavier, limiting the number of capable archers.

Ye Muyu felt somewhat reassured, “Then I’ll prepare two heart-protecting mirrors for you; that should suffice.”

As she said this, Ye Muyu handed the iron armor piece to Chu Heng for him to replace the damaged piece on the armor. She then called Lu Chuan over to make the heart-protecting mirrors.

Early the next morning.

Chu Heng went to court looking as usual and happened to meet Duke Zheng when he came out of the hall.
