Chapter 33: Returning Home to Shunyang
Zheng Sheng picked up the crossbow machine and looked for a suitable target in the house. Soon, he chose the bookshelf at the other end of the room, which was four or five meters away from him, lifted, aimed, pulled the trigger, and silently, a wind-like afterimage flew by, only to hear two "clangββ, dang-" sounds.
Zheng Sheng was startled and walked over to check. The bookshelf was found pierced in the location he had chosen, and the arrow was half-stuck in the wooden wall behind the bookshelf.
Put down the crossbow. Zheng Sheng pulled the arrow down with great difficulty, "I wore through the wooden shelves two or three centimeters thick on the first floor of the bookshelf, and nailed it to this wall four or five centimeters deep, this power is really powerful!" β
Zheng Sheng pulled out the arrow and found that the arrow had not been frustrated, it was still sharp, "This shouldn't be iron, right?" It's steel, right? β
At this time, Liu Wei'er walked in, "Shizi, it's time to eat." Then she saw the short arrow in Zheng Sheng's hand and the crossbow machine on the ground.
Liu Wei'er was startled, "Crossbow? β
Zheng Sheng was a little surprised, this girl still knows this?
"Shizi, where did this come from?" Liu Wei'er looked at the thing next to Zheng Sheng with some fear.
"Didn't Wu Yunlu tell me to be careful of the homeless? So I asked my uncle to get me these two crossbows. β
Liu Wei'er was stunned, she nodded, "Shizi, it's time to eat, after eating, we are about to leave." β
Zheng Sheng put down the crossbow machine, looked at her, and thought for a while, "Will it be used?" β
Liu Wei'er was stunned and said in a low voice: "I've seen it, I can use it, but I haven't used it." β
"That's fine. This one you use. Zheng Sheng brought another crossbow machine and handed it to her.
"I use it?" Liu Yan'er hesitated, "Shizi, I can't pull it open, I can't use it." β
"I'll help you get on the strings." Zheng Sheng said, "These two crossbows are our secret weapons, and we don't need to take them out until a critical moment." You're small, and you're a girl, so you don't attract attention. It's up to you to use it best, this crossbow is our last weapon, and you don't have to take it out until it's in the most critical moment. Sniff, you're the last hole card for all of us! β
Liu Wei'er nodded in a daze, "Shizi, what are hole cards?" β
At the same time as Zheng Sheng and Liu Wei'er explained what hole cards were.
In Zheng Ming's study, he put down the pen in his hand, "The output of millions of households in a year? β
"Yes, I figured it out." Huang Ke's eyes were bloodshot, "About 100,000 stone of grain, the grain produced by millions of households in a year, and the taxes of the Great Jin Dynasty for five years." β
"Hehehe," Zheng Meng said with a sneer, word by word, "My little son is so big. Separation? What a big family business. β
"Ready, right?" Zheng Meng asked suddenly.
Huang Ke nodded lightly, "Young Master, do you really want to kill?" Even if that kid ......"
"Kill." Leng Sen's tone made Huang Ke tremble, "Child? It's not like I don't have a son. β
Huang Ke nodded: "If you do this, Xiao Shizi will be honest." β
"Paper? Soy milk, scrambled eggs? A thousand-word essay? Zheng Meng shook his head, he smiled and said, "These are the outer ways after all." Look at him beating so hard, before he dies, a seven-year-old child will be heartbroken! β
The yellow guest went out.
Zheng Meng covered his head in pain: "Am I wrong?" Am I really wrong? No! I'm not wrong! I don't believe it, I don't believe it. I'm right, I'm right......"
"I want to be free, is that wrong? She's having an affair with someone, am I at fault? Zheng Shang is not my son, am I at fault? Me, that's right! β
Zheng Yuan squinted and listened to the old housekeeper Zheng Xutai nagging: "The prince has these secret methods in his hands that are enough to build a family, how can the head of the family let him go back to Shunyang?" β
"There are many people from the Shunyang Wang family, and these secret methods come from Ba County. In the future, the Wang family will definitely learn about this matter, and once there is a dispute with the Wang family because of this matter? β
"I don't need to say anything more about this." Zheng Yuan raised his hand and said, "Ke Wu, after coming to Wancheng, a lot of things have happened during this time, so let him go back to Shunyang, with Master Qiu's teaching, he must not go wrong." As for the rest, don't forget that these things came from Ba County. β
The old housekeeper opened his mouth and had nothing to say, the secret method that the prince got from the Wang family, and now the prince tied them to the Zheng family, and the Zheng family was undoubtedly the one who benefited. What else could he say?
It's just that what is the purpose of Wang's giving such a big benefit? Another question came to the old butler's mind.
It was seen from the ancient books of Ba County. Zheng Sheng's words have deceived many people, and there may be other problems in the future. However, judging from the current situation, the Zheng family has done it.
After eating breakfast and packing up, Zheng Sheng took everyone out of Zheng's house.
Zheng Yuan and Zheng Wen took many clansmen out to see them off.
Saying goodbye to Zheng Yuan, Zheng Sheng and others sat in two carriages, Zheng Yun rode a horse, with four coachmen, and four guards on a single horse, and the team of a total of fifteen people set off.
When they arrived at the south gate of Wancheng, Qiu Fuzi's carriage had already stopped there. Zheng Sheng looked at Wan Mao who was driving the car in surprise.
Wan Mao arched his hand to him: "Shizi, I heard from the teacher that the scenery of Shunyang is beautiful, and Wan Ziying also wants to go over to play and escape the summer, Shizi won't mind, right?" β
"Welcome, senior brother, I can't ask for it."
Qiu Fuzi came out and asked, "You still have to wait for Zheng Shang's mother and son, right?" β
Zheng Sheng nodded: "Wait until three o'clock, if Mrs. Han doesn't come, we will leave." β
As a result, before waiting for a while, another carriage drove out of the south gate, it was Zheng's carriage, and there was also a coachman driving.
Zheng Shang walked out of the carriage, jumped out of the carriage, and came to Zheng Sheng: "Shizi, my mother and I are willing to go to Shunyang." β
"Good. Let's go! Zheng Sheng nodded and ordered to go.
At this time, the sky was just dawning, but there were already a lot of pedestrians coming and going on the avenue outside Wancheng. However, like Zheng Sheng and them, the scene of four carriages lined up in a row is still rarely seen.
All the way to Nieyang County, it was already past noon, and the convoy stopped in Nieyang City. At this time, it was already the height of summer, Zheng Sheng and Qiu Fuzi discussed it and decided to avoid the hottest time and wait until after Shen Shi to set off.
Zheng Sheng invited Mrs. Han and told her about the note.
Mrs. Han was stunned, "What does the prince want to do?" β
"My master and I discussed it yesterday, and this morning we walked slowly for a long time, and someone must have confirmed that we are going south to Shunyang by the Han Water Road. Therefore, in the afternoon, we drove lightly, diverted to Lixian, turned to Xixian, and then returned to Shunyang. β
Mrs. Han nodded silently.
"Because it may be dangerous, we will hurry quickly, please forgive me."
"It's okay."
After saying goodbye to Mrs. Han, Zheng Sheng found Zheng Yun again and said that he wanted to go home by mountain road, but he didn't want to take the water road. Although Zheng Yun was puzzled as to why he did this, he still followed Zheng Sheng's instructions.
The route was diverted to the west, and the four carriages were also reassigned, Zheng Sheng and Zheng Shang were in the first car, Qiu Fuzi and Wan Mao were the second, followed by Mrs. Han, Dong Ye, and Liu Wei'er, and Zheng Cheng, Wang Jun, and Song Zhi were in the last car. In addition, the five coachmen drove separately, Zheng Yun and the four guards rode horses, gave up all kinds of goods, and traveled lightly.
Dongye was very sad, everything she bought was left in the county by Shizi, and she had to ask someone to go to Shunyang in the future. However, she looked at Liu Wei'er cautiously holding a ball of silk: "Sniff, what is this?" Why didn't you stay? β
Liu Wen'er hesitated for a moment: "This is given to me by the prince of the world, let me keep it temporarily." β
"What is it?" Winter leaves are even more curious.
Liu Wei'er had no choice but to show her the things wrapped in silk.
Fuyuba's eyes widened: "What is this?" Bow? β
"It's a crossbow." Madame Han had seen this weapon, and she immediately thought of what Zheng Sheng had said to her not long ago.
I'm afraid this journey really won't be too peaceful!
