Chapter 981 - Lightning Rod

"Husband, the torrential rain and thunder continued, I heard that you went to Keju Field?"

Shui Qingrou, Ying Shiyan, Meng Wan and Fan Caiying, who hurried back from Huaxia Qianzhuang, were anxiously waiting at the gate of the Hou Mansion, and when they saw Chen Xu's carriage coming back, they gathered around and pulled Chen Xu up and down to carefully inspect each other, and they were all relieved to see that Chen Xu was safe and sound.

"Let the lady worry, it's just thunder and lightning, it won't hurt me at all!" Chen Xu was surrounded by several women, and he began to brag with his eyes open again.

"Husband's clothes are soaked, go back to the room to wash and change clothes, so as not to suffer the cold!" Several women hugged Chen Xu and walked to the backyard.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's a hot summer, and the clothes are almost dry!"

"Don't be careless, husband......"

"How can it be okay if your clothes are soaked, your husband should take care of your body......"

"Husband, you are the backbone of our family......"

Several women wrapped Chen Xu in a gust of wind and walked into the bedroom in the backyard, some people ordered to prepare hot water, some people looked for clean clothes, some people began to undress Chen Xu, and before he finished a few words, Chen Xu was skinned into a little white sheep by several women and maids, and sat on the couch with his lower body covered.

"Poof~" Looking at Chen Xu's nervous and helpless expression, several women covered their mouths and smiled and brought a few bath towels and soft brocade cloaks to help Chen Xu wrap his body, feeling the up and down service of several pairs of gentle and delicate little hands, Chen Xu felt a flame slowly rising from his body, and a pair of hands reached into the dresses of several women and touched and pinched them.

A group of women were as if they hadn't seen it, and they didn't have the slightest evasion or dissatisfaction.

For them, Chen Xu is not only a husband, but also the head of the family, but also the most powerful Shangqing and Zuo Xiang in Great Qin, I don't know how many concubines and servants there are in the family of the high-ranking and powerful marquis, I don't know how many prostitutions there are during the day, and I never care about the feelings of the concubines, and even it is common to kill in a bad mood, but his own marquis is different, he never forces anyone, except for three wives and a concubine, he has hardly touched any woman in the house, even if it is four personal maids in spring, summer, autumn and winter, has never been favored, and there are only four of them who have been favored from beginning to end, and this pride and satisfaction are not something that other wives and concubines of the princely family can experience.

Therefore, for Chen Xu's rarely seen situation of groping pig hands, several women even felt a little different excitement and joy.

This is what Master Hou should do at home.

At present, it seems that his husband is starting to become like a normal marquis.

Soon the hot water was ready, Chen Xu jumped into the bathtub and lay down, several women rushed up and began to gently and carefully help him clean from top to bottom, and finally put on clean clothes and lay on the chaise longue in the yard, the water gently and gently helped him wipe his hair, Fan Caiying helped him cut his toenails, Ying Shiyan helped him cut his fingernails, the four maids in spring, summer, autumn and winter brought tea and water, beat his legs and rubbed his arms, and Meng Wan brought a plate of preserved fruits to feed him.

"Hmm~~, Shutan, hard work!" Chen Xu was lying on the rocking chair on all fours, his eyes slightly closed, and he was in a comfortable mess.

"My husband is tired from official duties, do we still want to be able to serve my husband like this every day?" A gentle smile appeared on the soft and delicate cheeks of the water.

"Husband, I heard that the thunder and lightning in the Juju field were very scary, did you see it?" Although Meng Wan has been married to Chen Xu for more than three years, she is still a little Lori, but now that she is a new wife, her delicate face is more delicate and smooth, and she looks more calm and mature like a concubine.

"I was about to go to Kemari to see the rehearsal of the opening ceremony, and the thunder and lightning were indeed a little terrifying, and even the stands on the top floor of Kemari were struck by lightning, but fortunately, no one was injured......

Chen Xu briefly said the incident of being struck by lightning in Keju Field just now.

"Husband, you mean that as long as you install those lightning rods, you can avoid being struck by lightning again?" Ying Shiyan asked in surprise.

"Yes, thunder and lightning often hit some open land relatively tall buildings and trees, this Keju field is like standing out from the crowd on the south bank of the Wei River, naturally it is easy to provoke thunder and lightning, and when the lightning rod is installed, you can see a very interesting scene when it rains and thunders in the future!" Chen Xu smiled and nodded.

"The lightning and thunder in the rainstorm are extremely terrifying, how can the husband say that it is interesting?" A group of women all stopped what they were doing, and several pairs of beautiful eyes fell on Chen Xu's face.

"After a few days, the lightning rod will be installed, and when there is another thunderstorm, you will see that all the thunder and lightning in the sky will fall on those high lightning rods as if they were being pulled, even if you stand on the top of Keju field, there will be no danger!"

"How can it be that there is no danger, husband, don't risk yourself!" Meng Wan's frightened little face turned pale, and with a shake of her hand, a plate of preserved fruits was buckled on Chen Xu's face.

"Ahem......" Chen Xu hurriedly got down the plate and the preserved fruits all over his face, and took Meng Wan in his arms and spanked him a few times, and suddenly Meng Wan's cheeks were red and silky in his arms, and he was reluctant to get up.

"Husband, Wanniang is right, even if there is a way to avoid lightning, you must not risk yourself!" Shui Qingrou, Ying Shiyan and Fan Caiying all spoke worriedly together.

"Don't worry, if a gentleman doesn't stand under a dangerous wall, how can I do such a thing!" Chen Xu grinned and nodded.

"That's good, the husband is now the secretary and the left minister, and there is no need to take risks in many things!" Several women breathed a sigh of relief together.

And when Chen Xu was chatting and enjoying happiness with a group of beautiful flowers at home, the news that the Marquis of Qinghe was going to install a lightning rod in the Keju field to avoid the Keju field suffering another lightning strike has been spread in Xianyang, although most people do not believe that the Marquis of Qinghe can do it, but in view of the identity of the disciple of the Qinghe Hou Xian family, all the suspicious people do not dare to completely deny it, since ancient times, people have believed that thunder and lightning are the power of the gods, and there are gods in the heavens to control, In today's rainstorm, the thunder and lightning over the Keju Field have been like a sea of lightning and fire, and the terrifying scene has frightened millions of people in Xianyang, if the Keju Field really angers the gods, I am afraid that there will be a danger to the lives of those who go in to see Keju, maybe the Thor will be angry and a huge thunder will slash down, and the audience will be killed and injured.

Therefore, all the spectators who bought tickets for the opening ceremony were looking forward to the effect of Qinghehou's lightning rod after installation, and wanted to know whether they could really avoid the lightning strikes of the gods.

In the anxiety and waiting of the people of Xianyang, seven or eight days have passed in a blink of an eye, and some good people will run to Keju Field to watch if they have nothing to do, and sure enough, they soon found that one or two iron rods several zhang high were erected in all directions around the grandstand on the top floor of Keju Field, and they also used an iron wire with a diameter of more than an inch to fall down the outer wall from the top, and then buried it in the ground several zhang deep, the specific details of these good people do not understand, but this matter still quickly spread all over the streets and alleys of Xianyang.

On the ninth day, Zhang Cang came to report that all the lightning rods had been installed, a total of eight, and they were all fixed in the position selected by Chen Xu.

And on the second day after the lightning rod was installed, at noon, just like the gods made an appointment to come to test the lightning rod of Qinghe Hou, a storm came again, accompanied by rolling dark clouds and strong winds, crackling bean-sized raindrops whistling in the wind, soon lightning and thunder, a torrential rain poured down, in the sparse rain curtain, the sky was full of thunder rolling, one after another lightning lit up in the entire Weihe Plain, and the dazzling electric light flickered one after another over Xianyang City and Keju Field, stabbing and tearing the gloomy sky.

And just before the rainstorm came, the people of the whole Xianyang had already been alarmed, the whole city almost poured out, hundreds of thousands of people with hats and umbrellas poured out of the east gate and south gate to watch the long-awaited thunder and lightning and heavy rain, not only in the city, the villages and towns on both sides of the Wei River have already known that the Marquis of Qinghe installed lightning rods on the Keju field, so nearly a million people are competing to brave the torrential rain to witness this miraculous moment.

Seeing is believing and hearing is false, and everyone wants to see through their own eyes how Qinghe Hou resisted the wrath of the thunder god and resolved the destruction of the heavenly thunder on the Keju field.

Even the emperor was no exception, after receiving the news from Taibu that the rainstorm was coming, he drove out of the palace, escorted by hundreds of Xuanwu guards, to the floor of the south gate of Xianyang City, to witness this epic spectacle of the immortal disciples fighting against the thunder god.

"Has Master Hou ever come back?" In the Qinghe Hou Mansion, looking at the dark clouds in the sky and the rolling sound of thunder, Shui gently and anxiously looked at the door of the Hou Mansion and waited.

"Back to Concubine Hou, after the Hou Ye dispersed the dynasty, I heard that I went to Zhongshu Province, and I haven't returned to the house yet!" The doorman replied.

After waiting for another half a moment, the rain had already crackled in the howling wind, and the water was worried in her heart, so she put on her hat and rode straight to the Keju field, and a group of guards did not dare to be careless, and followed them out of the south gate.

"Master Hou, don't go up, the thunder and lightning are extremely domineering, and non-human beings can compete with them!" Outside the Keju field, Zhang Cang, Liu Bang, Chen Ping and a group of guards surrounded Chen Xu in the middle.

"I'm afraid, Ben Hou is absolutely fine!" Chen Xu pushed away the crowd.

"Master Hou's status is noble, how can he risk his life?" Zhang Cang tugged on Chen Xu's sleeve and begged bitterly.

Although these lightning rods have been installed at the moment, but just a few simple iron rods, Mo said that people in the world do not believe that lightning can really be avoided, even Zhang Cang, the vice president of the Academy of Sciences who has been responsible for construction inspection from beginning to end, does not believe it, and now the rainstorm is about to thunder and lightning all over the sky, Chen Xu actually wanted to go up to the top stand to observe the effect of the lightning rod, and a group of people naturally refused.

"Master Hou, my subordinates beg you, if the lightning rod is effective, we can see it clearly and clearly when we stand below!" Liu Bang's face was distorted, and he opened his arms in front of Chen Xu.

Several fast horses came quickly in the fierce wind and the heavy rain of falling beans, and before the horses could stop steadily, the water jumped down from the horse's back gently, and rushed to Chen Xu from the scattered crowd with anxious faces.

"Husband......" Shui was about to speak softly, and he knew from the posture in front of him that Chen Xu did not take the words of the day to heart.

"Sting~"

Just as Chen Xu hesitated, a lightning bolt that pierced the sky tore through the sky.

"Boom~~"

With a deafening roar, I saw a dazzling electric light fall on a lightning rod above Keju Field like a zigzag chain, and a spark burst out, only to see a dense spark along the wire wire on the lightning rod puff down and quickly disappeared.

And after this earth-shattering thunderbolt, the torrential rain that had accumulated for a long time finally poured down, and the sky and the earth were instantly shrouded in a vast rain curtain.

"Haha, it really worked, the thunderbolt was led away by the lightning rod!" The scene in front of him was clearly seen by everyone, and an excited cheer broke out in an instant.
