Chapter Ninety-Five: Cover Up

King Qing, who was asleep, hummed and rolled over twice.

The king of Jin'an covered him with a quilt and stood up.

"Your Highness, you can rest too." The chamberlain who stood in the shadows in a corner whispered.

"No, I'll just take a walk." King Jin'an said.

I want to take a casual walk again, I don't know when the county king will develop this habit.

The chamberlain hurriedly picked up the cloak and put it on the king of Jin'an, opened the door and followed the young man out.

In order not to disturb others, the king of Jin'an insisted on choosing this remote palace for King Qing, and the so-called walk was not to go to the imperial garden or any other place to play, but to walk around this palace.

It has become commonplace for the attendants to stand around, and it seems that there is no end to the young man walking in front of him in a circle.

When the morning light was bright, the street door opened, and Cheng Jianniang walked out, followed by Banqin, and two little girls carrying baskets and fishing rods.

"There are no fish in the river over here." The neighbor in front of the door couldn't help but remind, "If the lady wants to fish, it's best to go out of the city." ”

Cheng Jianniang looked at him, smiled, and said thank you.

After walking a few steps, I saw Cheng Ping jump out.

Steward Cao and Banqin were startled.

"I've thought about it, but I'm still going to make it clear to you." Cheng Ping said.

Since coming back to meet on the street that day, Cheng Jianniang has not looked for Cheng Ping again, and Cheng Ping has not deliberately come, as if the events of that day have never happened.

Cheng Jianniang bent down to salute.

"Speak, please." She said.

"You still have to be strong, no one else is useful, only yourself. You can only get through your perils on your own. Cheng Ping said.

As soon as these words came out, Steward Cao and Banqin both widened their eyes.

"You bastard!" Steward Cao shouted, reaching out to grab him.

After Cheng Ping said this, he turned his head and ran away. Steward Cao chased a few steps but didn't catch up.

"A gentleman does not say anything against his will."

Cheng Ping's voice was thrown from afar.

Cao Guan was angry.

What a fucking weirdness. What kind of big fart is biting and not letting go, it's really not a loss to be surnamed Cheng...

The thought flashed through him, and he coughed twice.

It's not that he dislikes his own wife's eccentricity.

What's the use of me getting stronger? The Cheng clan has nothing to do with her.

"Let's go."

Cheng Jianniang silently raised her feet and walked forward.

In the early spring, the riverside was still a little cold, Banqin put a wooden bench, Cheng Jianniang sat down, and sure enough, she threw the straight hook into the river and didn't move.

This action attracted the curiosity of the people on the street.

"When did there be fish in this river?" Others looked into the river curiously.

"There are no fish in this river at any time, that is the fool of the Cheng family." Someone familiar with the situation crossed his arms and said, "Does it matter if there are fish or not when a fool fishes?" ”

This drew everyone else around.

The matter of the Cheng family, a fool, has been spread all over Jiangzhou Mansion with the Cheng family's involvement in the lawsuit.

The fool sued his uncle. To fight for the mother's dowry.

This kind of appalling thing is really something that only a fool can do, and what is even more appalling is that a fool actually wins.

This fool is not ordinary, although the Taoist people in it do not know, but this does not prevent the wisdom of the people from making their own judgments.

Steward Cao looked at the woman sitting like a pine by the river, and glanced at a few of his entourage, and they stepped aside.

"What has happened in the past year or so?" Steward Cao asked.

Several of the attendants glanced at each other.

"Nothing." They said in unison.

Before the words fell, Steward Cao raised his hand and slapped them on the head three times.

"It's out!" He glared and lowered his voice and shouted, "Hide it from me!" ”

A few of the attendants laughed.

"It's not that you want to hide it, it's normal most of the time, it's fine." They said.

Steward Cao snorted.

"Tell me, what happened that few times." He said.

Several of the attendants looked at each other again. He hesitated and leaned forward.

"There is a passage, as if after the lady found a big lake," said a whisper. Ask the other person on one side.

"Yes, just after finding a big lake." The man affirmed.

"Then the lady's mood suddenly went wrong...", the previous man continued.

"But it's not wrong, it's just sitting in front of the lake for days." Another said, "The lady has done this before. ”

"But it hasn't become tyrannical since then," the man retorted.

Brutal!

Steward Cao reached out and grabbed his arm.

"What tyranny?" He asked.

Several of the entourages glanced at each other and leaned over to Steward Cao again.

"Master Cao, do you know, we were almost scared to death for a period of time in Liangzhou." They whispered.

In the carriage shed in the backyard, the car after Liangzhou came back was placed untouched, and the two entourages stepped forward to lift the cloth cover on it, Steward Cao frowned, it is not strange to use the car cloth cover, but it is really strange that the car is still tied with a rope...

The two attendants untied the rope with a brush, and then opened the car door, and Steward Cao couldn't help but widen his eyes when he looked over.

"This isβ€”" He shouted as he stretched out his finger in amazement, but was halfway through his words when two of his attendants covered their mouths and blocked them back.

"Cao Ye whispered!" They shouted in a low voice.

Steward Cao stretched out his hand to push them away, walked quickly to the front of the car, and looked at a strange hard crossbow inside.

The military generals of the Zhou family are naturally no strangers to weapons, but this kind of crossbow is a little different from the crossbow bows seen in the past.

Iron is the head of the spear, copper is the horse's face and teeth, hemp rope is tied with silk for the string, the bow body is three feet two inches, and the string length is two feet and five inches. [Note 1]

Although it has not yet been started, as long as people who know the goods see it, they will call a good bow in their hearts.

Steward Cao stretched out his hand to pick it up, and his body couldn't help but fall.

"There must be four stones!" He said in surprise, and as he said he was about to try to pull the bow and wind it, but his attendant stopped him.

"Master Cao, this is used like this." He said. I took it on one side. One foot on the hoop.

Steward Cao watched the retinue wind up easily. There is no need to wind a crossbow with the same force and fear of breaking the crossbow as before.

So that's why the force of this hard crossbow can be greater.

With a buzzing sound, the arrow flew out instantly, and with a pop stabbed into the trunk of a tree in front of him, almost submerging.

Steward Cao's eyes widened again.

"We've tried it with ironclad." An attendant whispered in his ear, "More than three hundred and forty steps, half a carpenter into the elm, and seventy steps outside the hole piercing the iron armor." ”

Steward Cao gasped.

Divine weapons!

"Lady her, she did it?" He asked in a trembling voice.

The attendant nodded.

"Yes. What do you do with this? Steward Cao asked in a trembling voice.

In the past, it was nothing to play with a bow and arrow in his hand, after all, it is not an exaggeration to play with the six arts of a gentleman, but if the bow and arrow are replaced by this kind of hard crossbow, it is not a gentleman.

The attendants glanced at each other.

"Kill." One whispered.

Steward Cao held the crossbow in his hand and shook his body, okay, killing, killing is not uncommon for this lady, but what kind of person can be worth dealing with with this kind of magic weapon?

Is this going to kill one person or a group of people?

β€œβ€¦ Later, the lady began to walk around Liangzhou, and she killed several times. The attendant whispered, "It's really a killing machine." And they are all facing people who meet each other, young and old..."

I remembered the situation. They were really freaked out.

It's not that they're afraid of killing, but in the face of these old and young women and children who don't know each other and even greet them with smiles, they really can't do it, this is indiscriminate killing.

"The lady is definitely not that kind of person." Steward Cao shook his head categorically and said.

Obey the rules and don't bully the weak, that time in the Cheng family in the face of the siege of the servants, she didn't allow them to fight, and humiliated her identity with her subordinates, which is both a kind of pride and a kind of compassion.

She is by no means a person who kills passers-by indiscriminately for no reason.

"Yes, then the lady will be fine." The entourage nodded and said, with a little palpitation, "Then I came back day and night, and you know what will happen in the future." ”

When I entered the city, I saw Cheng Ping on the street, crying and begging....

Steward Cao nodded, took the crossbow in his hand and looked at it, and the more he looked at it, the more frightened he became.

If it is really as long range and strength as these entourages say, this kind of divine weapon is given to the imperial court, it must be a great achievement!

"Master Cao, let the lady put this away." The attendant said.

Steward Cao was clever and came back to his senses.

"Don't leave this stuff in the car." He said, "Put it in the vault underground." ”

After packing up the hard bow and mood, Steward Cao walked out, and saw that Cheng Jianniang was still sitting by the river fishing, just like an old monk in a fixed place, he couldn't help frowning.

This can't be done, everything is dispensable for her, Steward Cao even thinks that even if she is sick and about to die, she will not have any emotional reaction, how can it be good if she is decayed at this young age?

It's good that people have to pursue a little bit in life.

Even if it's like Cheng Ping, who is out of tune, he has a pursuit of earning enough money.

In April of the second year of Yonghe, three horses galloped through the streets of Ryugu Castle and stopped in front of a house.

The houses are simple, but they are clean, and it is obvious that they have just done a happy event at this moment.

"Fourth brother! You're too late, punish wine, punish wine. Xu Bangmao shouted, holding a wine jug in his hand and squirting wine in his mouth.

"Big brother, I went out, and I didn't catch up with your big day" Xu Sigen said Fan Jianglin, who rushed out, and was about to kowtow.

Fan Jianglin smiled and held on.

"You have official affairs." He said.

"Yes, yes, now the fourth brother is an official, and we are soldiers." Xu Bang mallet shouted.

Xu Maoxiu gave him a slap in the face.

"Your daughter-in-law is looking for you with her child, and she is talking nonsense here." He said, "It's not easy to be an official, you also go to raise horses." ”

"Then I'd rather be a soldier." Xu Bangmao touched his head and grinned, and obediently turned around and went in.

The brothers looked at each other and laughed.

Entering the door of the house, seven brothers sat in a group, and there was one more, Xu Bangmao was holding a month-old male doll in his arms, and the women went in and out to put the wine and food on the table.

"It's been almost two years in the blink of an eye." Xu Sigen said, looking at the brothers in front of him, "The sons of the mallet are so old, and the eldest brother is also married..."

"yes, there are only a few of you left, don't hurry up and start a family." Fan Jianglin took over and said, stretching out his hand to point at the other people.

"We're waiting for the start." Xu Maoxiu said with a smile, while raising the wine bowl, "Come, fourth, taste this wine." ”

"Yes, yes, how about tasting this wine compared to the official ones?" Xu Bangmao did not forget to say.

"This is sent by my sister from Jiangzhou Mansion?" Xu Sigen said, while hurriedly taking a sip and praising again and again.

"Don't praise you yet, guess what my sister said?" One of the brothers laughed.

"What else can I say, I must dislike this wine, so let's avoid eating it." Xu Sigen said with a smile.

The room laughed again.

The women outside the house couldn't help but look at it.

"It's still the brothers who are having fun together." A woman said.

"It's even more lively when it comes to my sister." Another woman who was clearly dressed as a bride said.

The woman reached out and took her hand, and looked at the gold bracelet on her wrist, and showed what she was holding on her hand.

"I don't know how long it will take to get seven." She laughed.

"I don't know what kind of person my sister is." The bride said with a little shyness, "I don't know what to reply, Da Lang said that my sister didn't lack anything, so I made a pair of shoes, I don't know if she dislikes it." ”

"Why, I'll look at your embroidery."

The women gathered in another room, watching the embroidery and exchanging skills, while listening to the men drinking and laughing from the other room.

But soon a hurried sound of bangs came from the street, breaking the peace.

"What's wrong?"

Everyone came out and asked.

"What can happen, the thief is here to give Lao Tzu a reward again." Xu Bangmao laughed and threw his son to his daughter-in-law, "After this time, we can also become a famous general!" ”
