Early the next morning.

Although the weather has gradually cooled, Ma Chao's face is still full of pride after going out. At this time, the chrysanthemums outside the courtyard were in full bloom, Ma Chao came to the chrysanthemum slowly, looking at the pale yellow petals tightly wrapping the stamens, he suddenly pursed his lips and smiled, his index finger touched the heart of the flower, and he smiled without saying a word.

At this time, Lu Qiling, who had just left the room, saw this scene, and her pretty face immediately turned red. Thinking of last night's madness and Ma Chao's ingenuity in the end, she couldn't help but feel a burst of heat on her buttocks, and her slender hands couldn't help but wrap around her waist and on her buttocks. And seeing Ma Chao and Lu Qiling like this, a cheap face that seemed to be smiling was even more evil. Even, he winked at Lu Qiling a few times.

Although Lu Qiling is the daughter of a tiger general, she is also secretive about such private affairs in the boudoir. Seeing that the bedrooms of the other sisters outside the courtyard also began to make a little noise, they didn't dare to entangle with Ma Chao, turned around, flew back to the room, and closed the door.

Ma Chao guessed that Lu Qiling usually blushed and took a deep breath behind the door, and recalled the beauty of her long-cherished wish last night, and the whole person couldn't help but feel refreshed.......

However, before the smugness was complete, Ma Chao was interrupted by a small momentum. Then he felt that his legs were tightly wrapped by a pair of small hands, and when he lowered his head, he saw that Jiang Wei, the righteous son, was looking up at him: "Father-in-law, I want you to make me a bow!" ”

During the Chang'an Rebellion, the Ma family went to the palace together. And when the servant who was responsible for taking care of Ma Chao's son-in-law Ma Qiu was captured and ruined by the Hun Xuncai, Xiao Jiang Wei took advantage of the Huns' unguarded horsemanship, grabbed Ma Qiu and fled, preserving the continuation of the Ma family's lifeline. In other words, at this time, this child with a happy face and a face full of pleading is the biggest protector of the Ma family.

Ma Chao lowered his head, and he carefully looked at Jiang Wei at this time. I have to admit that Jiang Wei has received Jiang Jiong's good genetic inheritance, although he is still immature and cute, the nose and mouth on the baby's fat face have begun to be edged, and the ruddy and healthy complexion gives him the germination of a sunny little Zhengtai at his age. It is conceivable that in the next ten years, Ma Chao, the righteous son, will be the heart-stealing killer in Chang'an City who keeps countless girls awake at night.

"Why do you want a bow?" Ma Chao reached out and touched Jiang Wei's head, although the two had not seen each other for half a year, their father-son relationship with each other was extremely solid.

"It's too dangerous to use a knife to fight an enemy. Killing the enemy with a bow and arrow is the best choice! Jiang Wei blurted out.

Ma Chao's face darkened for a while, thinking that Zhuge Liang's high-ranking disciple in history had been in his home for three years, and he had gradually transformed into a conspirator who could take down the enemy without taking action in person, and he suddenly felt a sense of guilt for history. The corners of his mouth moved, wanting to say something, but looking at Jiang Wei's invincible and cute look, Ma Chao admitted that he was defeated.

'A conspirator is a conspirator, anyway, he was born in the acre of the old horse's house, facing a group of foxes, and it is impossible not to be affected by this. Muttering in his heart, Ma Chao asked people to find materials to make bows and arrows, and began to learn to be a father.

At this time, Diao Chan happened to go out, and when he saw Ma Chao's move, he smiled. didn't say anything, just squatted beside Ma Chao, watching the male lord who was in charge of one-third of the world fiddle with it.

It's just that half an hour later, Ma Chao raised his head high and stared at the sparrow's nest on the top of a poplar tree outside the door, and saw that the four chicks in the nest were poking their heads out and screaming, and a pain called 'failure' flashed helplessly in his eyes. After gritting his teeth again, he suddenly grabbed another plank and painstakingly sharpened it with his incomparable seven-star sword, with a bowstring and a few cast-iron arrowheads resting at his feet.

Ma Chao is very clear about the performance and characteristics of all hard bows, and even, even in terms of archery, Ma Chao feels that in the entire army, except for Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun, and Tai Shici, his archery skills are no less than other historical generals. However, after this hour passed, he really understood that "knowing" and "doing" are two different things.

Jiang Wei was still around Ma Chao at the beginning, waiting for the birth of the first bow and arrow in his life. But then he was arrested by Wang Yi to read and write, but every once in a while he would poke his head into the yard and ask his father if you are doing a good job. Ma Chao comforted him and said to wait a little longer, while carefully hiding the discarded bow and arrow behind him.

"W-can't be?" Ma Chao once again coaxed Jiang Wei, who was already obviously impatient, and muttered: "I have also given advice on the crossbow machine and hard bow design of the arsenal. Why can't I make such a simple wooden bow? ”

However, before the words were finished, only a snap was heard, and Ma Chao once again cut the wooden stick. He scratched his head in despair and looked at Diao Chan, who had been holding back a smile for a long time: "Should I borrow that old guy from Zheng Hun for use?" ”

But Diao Chan waved his hand and snapped his fingers, and the two men in black appeared immediately.

"Go to the arsenal and get a wooden bow of the lowest quality, and say that the hussar general is in urgent need." Diao Chan spoke, and the two men in black were obviously stunned for a moment, but then nodded solemnly and floated away.

Ma Chao was also dumbfounded and watched all this, and finally, under Diao Chan's gesture of continuing, he continued to sharpen the wooden stick in his hand with some resignation.

"Father-in-law, when will it be okay?" Jiang Wei probed again at this time.

"Very, soon, right?" Ma Chao laughed, a hint of shame flashing across his face.

Jiang Wei retreated half in confusion and half belief, but even though he was already pretending to be very similar, Ma Chao and Diao Chan had already seen that Jiang Wei had no expectations for the first bow in his life.......

"Cicada, do you think my father deserves to be a failure?" Ma Chao scratched his head and asked a little absent-mindedly.

"Husband, you are not a saint, so naturally you can't do everything." Diao Chan didn't seem to be in much of the mood to evaluate Ma Chao's useless efforts, in fact, when Ma Chao's attention finally turned to her, she immediately changed from a gentle wife to a stern and angry Shadow Director: "Husband, the secret of the shadow has been completely cracked by Liu Xie, and we are very passive now!" ”

Ma Chao turned his head and glanced at Diao Chan very strangely, and then as if he thought of something, his eyes lit up, he changed the angle of his wrist, and slowly sharpened the wooden bow blank in his hand: "Even if the shadow rides to the arsenal, it will take two pillars of incense to get back a wooden bow." I still have time to make a bow with my own hands......."

Diao Chan's heart was full of gloom and anger and was ignited by Ma Chao's answer that the donkey's lips were not to the horse's mouth, and she immediately thought that Ma Chao was blaming her for neglecting to pay attention to the shadows during this time. But looking at Ma Chao's side face that she was preoccupied, she couldn't get angry, so she could only let her anger and expectation turn into endless grievances and forbearance: "What does the husband plan to do in the future?" ”

Ma Chao, who was completely immersed in woodworking, didn't seem to hear the change in Diao Chan's tone, but the carpentry under his hand gradually took shape, he shook it, and it felt good. The bowstring was tightly wound around the ends of the carpentry with a thin wire, and he tried his strength, and finally adjusted the angle again, before a satisfied smile appeared on his face. And when I looked up, I happened to see the two dark shadows that had already brought a carpenter: "Send it back, I don't need it anymore......."

Although they were wearing black scarves, Ma Chao could still feel that the faces of the two had turned black. Summoned Jiang Wei and handed him the freshly made carpentry. Looking at Jiang Weixing's elated back, Ma Chao couldn't help but show a smug smile. However, after this smile met Diao Chan's face that had been forbearance to the extreme, it immediately disappeared without a trace like the snow of a glacier meeting the sun.

"Cicada, listen to me, the shadow thing is not a matter at all......"

"The slave family remembers that when someone asked me to take charge of the shadow, I said affectionately that the shadow is the eye of the Ma family, and you are my ........"

"Ahh Can you not hit me in the eye?! Before Ma Chao's words fell, he covered his panda eyes. At this time, he remembered that it is not good to go home, if you accompany one of your wives, there will always be another wife who will give you a punch. No matter how serious and paternally you are when you make a wooden bow, you don't want to fool around.......
