There was no moonlight in the mountains tonight, and the stars were a little dim. In the palace lit by a bonfire, King Chulie of Zhao and his son spent the last night.

"Mian'er, this crossbow arrow designed and created by you is really powerful. I hope that when they are equipped in the army, they can show their might. Help Zhao's army win war after war! ”

King Zhao was half lying there, with a relieved smile in his eyes. He had actually vomited blood just now, and although Chu Jiangmian had wiped it for him with a towel, he could still see the bloodshot at the corner of his mouth. During the day, the subjects of Zhao only saw the courage of their own king, but they didn't know that after shooting those three arrows, King Zhao had exhausted his last vitality. The reason why he is still holding on is that there are some words that have not been properly explained.

Chu Jiangmian held back the sadness in his heart, and used a short knife to cut the huge bear paw in front of him bit by bit, and brought it over. King Zhao only tasted it a little, then shook his head and refused to eat it again.

"Father, please eat a lot. Hopefully your body will recover soon. When the time comes...... Then personally lead the soldiers to fight! ”

Chu Jiangmian really wanted him to eat as much as possible. This bear's paw was simmered by him for several hours. However, King Zhao, who was able to eat half a sheep when he was young, shook his head and sighed at this time.

"Idiot, don't make much effort. Father is running out of time, so please talk to me for a few words...... I'm afraid I won't have a chance again. ”

Chu Jiangmian finally couldn't hold back his tears. Of course, he knew better than anyone else that King Zhao's physical condition was no longer powerless. He just kept holding back his emotions so as not to cause more people to panic.

"Father...... It's all my fault. If you don't take the risk yourself, He Lao's father will personally take ....... ”

"Don't beat yourself up. Silly child, your own body knows it. Even if I didn't shoot arrows, I couldn't hold on for too long...... Alas! Mian'er, I'm not a person who is afraid of death, but I have a heavy responsibility for you after all, so I can't rest assured! ”

Chu Jiangmian was sad and speechless. Only bow down to him and listen silently. After a little silence, King Zhao calmed down his breath and spoke again.

"The name of the crossbow is called the Divine Crossbow. I hope that this weapon of mass destruction, which is extremely beneficial to the army's operations, will be best used and developed in your hands. The lives of soldiers are extremely precious, and no matter what the circumstances, it is worth developing vigorously to be able to use the advantages of weapons to alleviate their casualties. No matter what financial and material resources are paid, it is worth ....... ”

Chu Jiangmian couldn't help but nod. What King Zhao said was exactly what he was thinking, and it was a general direction for the development of Zhao's army in the future. If after tonight, he is destined to pick up the weight of eight thousand miles of mountains and rivers. Then he will use the sharpest weapons to equip his soldiers to make them invincible on the battlefield and terrify all enemies!

Sensing the light in his eyes, King Zhao nodded with satisfaction. He looked at his son intently, and in the light of the fire, he felt both familiar and strange.

"Mian'er, in fact, I have always been a little strange in my heart. In my impression, because of your mother's doting, you have been a child who only knows how to play and have fun since you were a child, and it is not too much for people outside to call you a gentleman. It's just that since about five or six years ago, you've become a little different...... As for what has changed, it is difficult to say in detail. This is not my own feeling, but your mother also thinks so. It also includes a small number of people who know you best and who also find it strange ....... ”

Chu Jiangmian lowered his head tightly, controlling his emotions. In fact, he really wanted to tell this twilight old man his deepest secret. But he didn't know where to start. The arrangement of fate in this world made even him feel extremely mysterious. If you say it, who will believe it?

"Father, I only regret now that I didn't share the weight on your shoulders earlier...... Something could have been done a few years earlier. Maybe it can be avoided to make your body bad to the point where it gets now...... It's my unfilial piety! ”

Chu Jiangmian regretted it from the bottom of his heart. In the past, when I was having fun, I always felt that the time was long, the years were still early, and I could have a lot of time to squander in the future. It was only when I suddenly looked back that I suddenly realized that these most ruthless years took away not only the wasted years, but also the deep family affection that can never be recovered.

"Don't say these useless things again! As long as you do it well in the future, everything is still in time. Fortunately, before I left, you finally began to know to take responsibility. This is more important than anything else...... Alas! Whether it's your own sudden enlightenment, or whether it's the people of Zhao Kingdom, God has mercy on me. My son was originally a genius in the eyes of his father! From today onwards, this burden will be handed over to you, and I will finally be able to rest. ”

Although Zhao Wang Chulie still had the last doubts in his heart, he didn't want to continue to get to the bottom of it. Anyway, it's his own son's fault. And he was extremely confident that in the future this young man would do better than himself. With this, it is enough.

"Mian'er, go get the bow and sword!"

King Zhao straightened up slightly, and after sitting up, he gave a faint order. After Chu Jiangmian whispered a promise, he stood up and took off a bow and a sword hanging on the wall not far away. It feels heavy and heavy in your hand. The bow is a golden feather iron string bow, and the sword is the sword of the king of the wind and clouds! They followed King Chu Lie of Zhao across the sand to be invincible, terrifying countless enemies. It has made great contributions to the Zhou royal family and the people of Zhao, and has not been away from King Zhao for nearly 40 years.

"This long sword was given by the Emperor of Zhongzhou Qin himself! Mian'er, I'll pass it on to you today. I hope you can understand my trust in you! ”

Chu Jiangmian hurriedly knelt on the ground and took it with both hands. He knew very well in his heart that taking over this sword was equivalent to taking on a heavy burden. But he took it without hesitation, without any hesitation. King Zhao coughed violently a few times, and then pressed down the blood in his throat with force. He finally asked again, still uneasy.

"Jiang Mianwu'er, do you really understand the meaning of this sword?"

"Father, rest assured. What you mean, of course I understand. I can make an oath in front of my father, as long as the Zhou royal family still exists, I will naturally be one with all the subjects of Zhao State, loyal to the Great Zhou Emperor, and will never do anything rebellious! ”

"Good! My son really knows what it means to be a father! In this way, I am relieved. Remember! Today, although it has begun to be chaotic, the Great Zhou Dynasty is also a little bleak. But no matter what time comes, you and Zhao Guo can't be the first to rebel! Otherwise, even if I am under Jiuquan, I will be ashamed of my kindness to the first king! ”

"I remember!"

Hearing Chu Jiangmian's solemn promise, King Zhao nodded. Then he took the bow again, and under the light, he caressed the spots on it with his hand, but they were all traces left on the battlefield in the past.

"I'll give you this bow now. The Hu people in the north have been growing stronger in the past hundred years, and they have always wanted to invade the Central Plains to plunder wealth and population. Zhao was ordered by the Son of Heaven to fight against Hu Qi as his own responsibility for the Great Wall outside the Saiwai. This bow is the barrier on the border city and the plug of the Zhao State. I used this bow to fight dozens of battles, and so far I have shot and killed two people from King Hu, more than 10 generals and above, and hundreds of other generals and colonels...... I hope it can create a greater miracle in your hands! ”

"Father, rest assured, Jiang Mian should live up to his mission!"

Chu Jiangmian solemnly took the longbow again. He thought to himself that he was not as good as his father's archery, and that the bow was at most a symbol of his spirit. But he had absolute confidence that those guys on the grassland would dare to cross the border to plunder and kill again. Then he must let them know what the real misery of the world is! As if seeing what he was thinking, King Zhao said calmly.

"Sleeper, there's one more thing you have to remember. The princes and countries of the Central Plains within the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty, tracing back to their origins, are all bloodlines passed down from the same ancestor and ancestor...... As for the Hu people outside the Saiwai, over the past hundred years, they have owed too much blood debt, and they should use enough blood to repay it! ”

"Father's teachings, dare to disobey his orders!"

Chu Jiangmian accepted the longbow and sword, kowtowed and bowed again. Father and son talked, and before they knew it, the east of the mountain range had revealed the dawn of dawn.

"Mian'er, the love of my father's life, apart from your mother, is fighting and drinking. Hehe...... Other things and people have been entrusted to those who should have been entrusted, and those who should have been arranged have also been arranged. Now, it's time for me to have one last bit of time for myself! Go, bring the best wine you have with you......! ”

"Father! Never. ...... your body? ”

Chu Jiangmian looked up in surprise. Seeing a wry smile on King Zhao's pale face, he said in an infinitely sad tone.

"How...... Are you going to let me leave with regrets? ”

Chu Jiangmian bit his lip tightly, and blood marks were printed on his teeth. He silently turned around and brought over a jar of wine. Once the seal is lifted, the aroma of wine fills the space.

"There you go! Tell Fei Yi and everyone outside that you don't have to come in! ”

King Zhao stretched out his hand to take the wine jar, took a deep breath, and his eyes were full of light, and he seemed to have regained his former heroic spirit. Chu Jiangmian kowtowed goodbye with tears streaming down his face. As he wiped away his tears and walked out of the doorway, a generous aria rang out behind him.

"Beat the drum and use the soldiers. The liquor goes into the throat and sends the son a long bow...... I don't want to go, I'm worried. Fighting in a place where you live, losing your horses? Ask for it, under the forest. Death and life are broad, and Zicheng said. Hold the hand of the son, and grow old with the son. Yu is broad, not I live. Yu Xun Xi, I don't believe it. ”

The mountains are full of gloom, tens of thousands of people, and those who hear it will not weep!
