The streets were crowded with people, peddlers and pawns dressed in new clothes, and everyone had a smile on their faces, calling friends or families.

Cui Keyin lowered the curtain and said, "Where are they going?" ”

"I'm going to see a big show." Zhou Heng leaned against the wall of the carriage and said lazily: "Liu Yuanwai in the south of the city is fifty years old, he gave birth to a noble son yesterday, and invited the three most famous opera troupes in the capital to sing a big opera for three days, anyone who wants to watch it can go to see it." Because it was a famous troupe in the capital, as soon as the news came out, the people heard the news and left. ”

Cui Keyin was very surprised, and said: "How did the emperor know about such a trivial matter of the people?" ”

Zhou Heng was very proud, but he still pretended not to care, and said, "It's not a trivial matter." This morning, the spy came to report that a large number of people were rushing to the south of the city, worried that people with ulterior motives would gather to make trouble, so they made a careful investigation and reported it, asking me to make a decision. I have ordered the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division to keep a close eye on it, and if there is any sign of a riot, suppress it immediately. ”

I see. Cui Keyin understood what Zhou Heng was proud of, and couldn't help but praise him: "The emperor is wise." Was the agent training successful? ”

"Not yet, but just pick some excellent seedlings and use them first." Zhou Heng's eyes were full of pride, and he said: "Zilan is indeed a good candidate for training secret agents, you recommend meritorious, how can I reward you?" ”

Cui Keyin tilted her head and thought for a while, and said, "Why don't you carry a concubine when no one is around?" ”

Such a bold request surprised Zhou Heng, and he immediately smiled: "Okay." ”

The carriage soon left the city, and the more it went, the more deserted it became. In the end, I saw the mountains and no people. Cui Keyin didn't know that there was such a place in the suburbs.

In the midst of the mountains on all sides, there was a very open place, where several large bamboo huts were erected, and people dressed in craftsmen's clothes kept coming in and out, and no one paid attention to the carriage when they saw it coming in.

Zhou Heng got out of the car first, and then took Cui Keyin's hand to let her walk down steadily, and the craftsmen couldn't help but stop when they saw a beautiful young woman walking out of the car. Dumbfounded. The leader of the craftsmen saw it. He shouted angrily: "Look at what you see, look at your eyes again!" ”

The craftsmen hurriedly lowered their heads and scattered birds and beasts, and went to their own work.

Cui Keyin raised her eyes and looked around, "This is?" ”

Zhou Heng pointed to the greenhouse in the middle. "The bed crossbow is there." ”

The two of them were about to walk. Xiao Rong rushed out. greeted the two of them and bowed, and said, "The emperor, the mother." ”

He grew taller, from childishness to firmness in his eyes. Behave like a mature young man.

"Get up." Zhou Heng said: "Lead the way ahead." ”

Xiao Rong got up from the ground and said, "Yes." He glanced at Cui Keyin again and said, "I don't know if Niangniang is coming, otherwise the small one will definitely make a small crossbow and give it to Niangniang for self-defense." ”

"Nonsense, the queen is in the deep palace, what is the use of a crossbow?" Zhou Heng scolded with a smile.

Cui Keyin said: "You can make a self-defense for the emperor, I don't need it." ”

As soon as she left the Anhua Palace, she would follow a large number of people, and it was difficult to get out of the palace again, what did she want to do with a crossbow?

Xiao Rong Xingxing responded and said, "I have already made one for the emperor." ”

It turns out he already has. Cui Keyin glanced at Zhou Heng, Zhou Heng understood, pulled up his sleeves, revealed the small crossbow tied to his arm, and said, "It's quite small, and the power is not bad." At the touch of a button, a small crossbow arrow shot out and landed on the trunk of a large tree in the distance, the tip of which was still trembling.

Sure enough, it's very powerful.

Cui Keyin said: "Not bad. ”

The clothes in the morning were worn by the palace servants, and Cui Keyin was busy settling Lele, so he didn't know when he would tie this.

Xiao Rong was praised by Cui Keyin, very proud, and said, "I made it myself." ”

Zhou Heng said: "Among these craftsmen, although Xiao Rong is young, he is still smart. Xiao Rong, tell me to go down and try the bed crossbow. ”

Cui Keyin said: "Are you going back to the palace tonight?" ”

The carriage walked slowly, left the palace early in the morning, and arrived before the hour, and hurriedly tried this, didn't you plan to spend the night here?

Zhou Heng nodded and said, "No, I'll leave early tomorrow morning." ”

So why be in such a hurry?

A tall bed crossbow was placed in the open space, the small triangular flag in Xiao Rong's hand was raised, and a row of bows and arrows as thick as a child's arm shot out and landed on a granite hill opposite.

Zhou Heng pulled up his cloak, hugged Cui Keyin into his arms, and covered her ears again.

Cui Keyin pushed him away and said, "I'm not so fragile." ”

As soon as he opened his mouth, he saw that the wind in the sky was carrying fine stones as fine as sand grains to his mouth, and his pink skin was stabbed painfully, and he hurriedly buried his face in Zhou Heng's arms.

"It's good." Zhou Heng praised.

"Hooray, hooray, hooray!" The soldiers raised their spears and shouted loudly.

Three test shots in a row almost flattened three hills. Such a power is that even a strong city cannot resist.

Cui Keyin said: "The emperor is blessed with the sky, and he got this bed crossbow, and he once fled from the wind first." ”

The Tatars are known for their good riding and archery, if there is such a bed crossbow, erected on top of the fortified city, condescending, and shooting at the Tatar cavalry from a distance, not to mention people, even the horses are pierced, why worry about the first immortal?

Zhou Hengji was very happy and rewarded the craftsmen greatly, and the cheers of the craftsmen echoed in the open space.

When the curtain fell, the sound of joy in the bamboo shed had not stopped, Zhou Heng wrapped Cui Keyin like a zongzi, took her hand, quietly walked out of the tent, and came to the back mountain. Cui Keyin was curious and a little scared, and said, "Where are you going?" ”

In the dark, Zhou Heng said softly: "Let's go to a fun place." ”

Snow particles floated in the sky, falling on his face cold, Cui Keyin suddenly remembered something and exclaimed, "Don't." ”

Zhou Heng smiled and said, "Well, it's snowing, it's a little cold." ”

It's not just a little cold, it's very cold. Cui Keyin stopped and said, "I'm not going, I'm going back." ”

Zhou Heng pulled her hood to block the wind for her, and said, "It's okay, the scenery above is extremely good, let's go and take a look and come back." ”

It's okay just to go and see. Cui Keyin let out a soft "um". Zhou Heng picked her up, got up a few times, came to a big stone halfway up the mountain, put her on the stone, and said, "Look." ”

The stone was hexagonal in shape, the size of a bed, and when you stepped on it, a warm current came from your shoes.

"What is this?" Cui Keyin was puzzled.

Zhou Heng helped her sit on the stone, sat beside her, hugged her into his arms, and said, "I came to climb high and look far away last time, and I accidentally found it. How about we move it into the palace? ”

In the dark, Zhou Heng's eyes were as bright as stars, Cui Keyin understood what he meant, she was shy, and said, "What are you thinking?" ”

Zhou Heng laughed out loud and said, "I thought, in the imperial garden, we are interested, and it is good to play in the past." ”

"Don't." Cui Keyin subconsciously tightened the placket of his thick clothes. It's so embarrassing, spread it, she doesn't have to be a human being anymore. (To be continued.) )
