Chapter 38: Sister (Ask for Collection, QAQ)

Zhao Hongxing pulled the fat and thin duo into the carriage and went straight back to Miyagi. When he got off the bus in the city, he directly pulled the two of them to the imperial study and came to Zhao Zongyang to talk about it.

It just so happened that Zhao Zongyang was watching the recital in the imperial study, and when he saw Zhao Hongxing hurriedly bringing someone to see him, he immediately stopped what he was doing and listened to Zhao Hongxing's explanation first.

Zhao Hongxing introduced the identities of Qi Huan and Liang Yu, and then asked the two of them to repeat what they had just said to themselves, and then to Zhao Zongyang in detail.

After listening to Qi Huan and Liang Yu talk about what happened, Zhao Zongyang just nodded slightly, silently pondering.

As a generation of emperors, after Zhao Zongyang heard the power of the new thunder fire developed by Qi Huan, he thought of many scenarios that could be applied. Whether it is civilian or military, as long as it is used properly, this thunder fire will surely become an important part of maintaining the prosperity and stability of the whole country.

And once this thunder fire really falls into the hands of people who want to do evil, then the entire continent may be ruined again.

"Does anyone in the Qi family know the detailed recipe for this thunder fire besides you?" After thinking for a moment, Zhao Zongyang asked Qi Huan.

"Without Your Majesty, although now is not the time to boast, this new type of thunder fire was completely developed by the villain on his own. Qi Huan replied, and there was really some pride in his words.

"Well, in other words, if there is no correct formula, no one can create this new type of thunder fire?" Zhao Zongyang then asked.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the villain dares to guarantee that even if anyone knows what all the ingredients of this thunder fire are, it will never be made. Qi Huan replied affirmatively.

"Hmm. Zhao Zongyang nodded with satisfaction, then looked at Liang Yu and said approvingly: "You are right to bring Qi Huan to the capital without alarming anyone." The Liang family can have a decisive and careful person like you, I am very pleased. ”

"Thank you for your majesty's praise. Liang Yu was so excited that he got up and thanked him.

Zhao Zongyang's praise of Liang Yu's two sentences was sincere, if Liang Yu didn't rush to the capital with Qi Huan immediately, but asked him to go home and make plans, then Qi Huan would definitely be forced by Old Man Qi to ask the real thunder fire formula again. And even if Qi Huan doesn't say anything, when the time comes, he will really get impatient with the secretly buying formula, tie up Qi Huan, and then force the lives of all men, women, and children in the Qi family, and then Qi Huan really has to say it.

There are many ways to ask something out of the mouth of a living person for those who are used to doing it secretly.

Fortunately, Liang Yu brought him into the capital, and he also tried his best to meet Zhao Hongxing, and was finally brought to him Zhao Zongyang.

This Qi Huan has to send someone to protect it, in case "where is it", the loss is incalculable. When Zhao Zongyang was considering the candidate to protect Qi Huan, Qi Huan seemed to suddenly remember something, and then his face suddenly became a little ugly.

Liang Yuzheng, who was praised by His Majesty the Emperor, was happy, and when he saw Qi Huan's expression as if he wanted to "open up", he asked jokingly: "What's wrong Qi Gongzi, did you eat anything?"

Qi Huan, who had a very bad face, didn't pay attention to Liang Yu, but looked at Zhao Zongyang, and his lips trembled twice.

"Your Majesty, the villain deserves death. The villain just remembered that in fact, there was still about a pound of new-style thunder fire finished products at home, which was made by the villain for the first time, and the rest of the ...... after the successful test explosion" Qi Huan's movements as he spoke were a little floating.

"One catty?" Zhao Zongyang didn't show anything on the surface, but he also chuckled in his heart, and hurriedly asked: "If this catty of thunder and fire is detonated together, how powerful is it?"

Qi Huan looked left and right at His Majesty the Emperor's imperial study, and said with a bitter face: "Back to Your Majesty, I will probably blow up such a big room." ”

"What do you use as a metaphor, ......" Liang Yu next to him was startled, covered his mouth and snorted at Qi Huan.

Dare to use the emperor's house as a reference to the power of the explosion, this guy is also big-hearted. Zhao Hongxing complained on the side.

However, Zhao Zongyang didn't care about this, after listening to Qi Huan's words, he also raised his head and took a good look at the area of his imperial study, and then calculated the approximate power.

It's okay, this bit of thunder can't damage the northern city wall.

In the era of cold weapons, a three-meter-high low wall could become a cliff to block a large army. The soldiers at the root of the wall are the target of wanton slaughter to the defenders at the head of the wall, and the army at the root of the wall can only take their lives if they want to attack the head of the wall. But with such a powerful thunderbolt, the city wall completely loses its advantage. As long as there is a way to transport a new type of thunderfire with enough weight to the bottom of the city wall, after a loud bang, it will inevitably open a gap in the city wall that the defenders cannot fill.

What Zhao Zongyang is most afraid of is that this thunder fire falls into the hands of the ice barbarians, if they really let them get a new type of thunder fire with enough weight, then the city wall in the north will be a decoration.

Fortunately, it was only about a catty, and even if it fell into the hands of the barbarians, it was impossible to pose any threat to the nearly three-zhang thick city wall.

However, what is still a headache is that if the remaining thunder and fire are taken away, who will do it?

After thinking for a while, Zhao Zongyang felt that instead of guessing here, it was better to quickly study all the thunder fire from production to usage, and maybe he could find a way to deal with this thing from it.

Thinking of this, Zhao Zongyang shouted to the attendants outside the door: "Someone!"

The attendant who heard His Majesty's call immediately pushed the door in and listened respectfully to Zhao Zongyang's instructions.

"Ask someone to go to the Hanlin Academy, and invite the old ladies of the Technical Hall to come over. Zhao Zongyang instructed: "Tell them that it is a matter of national security." This attendant could hear the priority of the matter, and after Zhao Zongyang finished the order, he turned around and went out after saluting.

"Qi Gongzi. After instructing the attendants, Zhao Zongyang looked at Qi Huan and said solemnly: "Are you willing to hand over this thunder fire formula to the country and make it a force to defend the country?"

"Your Majesty!" Qi Huan heard Zhao Zongyang's question, and instantly burst into tears, got up and fell to the ground, and said loudly: "It is the villain's lifelong wish to develop a new type of thunder fire, and it is also the villain's wish to hand over the successful development to the country, and the villain will definitely present the formula completely, and I implore Your Majesty to allow the villain to continue to contribute to the improvement of the new type of thunder fire!"

Qi Huan said this with a crying voice, and it seemed that he had already made up his mind to hand over the formula to Yan Feng. It's just that this process is really full of twists and turns, and it wasn't until today that I finally met His Majesty the Emperor, and I finally got my wish.

Zhao Zongyang granted Qi Huan's request to continue to develop and improve the Thunder Fire, and sealed him the position of "Master of the Technical Hall" on the spot.

In Yanfeng, those who pass the examination of the Hanlin Academy in everything belong to the "intellectuals", either as officials, or as "Taishi" who specializes in education and scientific research.

"You did a great job today. Zhao Zongyang didn't care about Qi Huan, who was crying on the ground, and Liang Yu, who was happy for Qi Huan and wanted to pull him up, suddenly praised Zhao Hongxing.

"Easy, easy. "Zhao Hongxing has been in trouble all these years, although Zhao Zongyang has never scolded him, but he has never praised him, and today he came so suddenly, which made him a little embarrassed.

"Okay, it's time for you to do something serious when you're so big, you're still shy to praise you. Zhao Zongyang looked at Zhao Hongxing's squirming appearance, laughed and reprimanded, and let him leave first.

The next thing really had little to do with Zhao Hongxing, he obediently said goodbye to Zhao Zongyang and turned to leave.

As soon as he walked out of the imperial study, he saw Hongyi and Le Aya waiting for him at the bottom of the steps of the imperial study. Hongyi stood honestly next to the steps, but seemed to be chatting with the guard brother beside him, while Le Aya sat on the steps of the imperial study, continuing to enjoy the snacks packed from the teahouse.

You're welcome. Zhao Hongxing complained in his heart.

The elders of the Yanfeng royal family don't just talk about the girl, it's really painful. Even Le Aya, the girl sent by the envoy, Zhao Zongyang and Xiao Biqiao took care of it like Zhao Zhongling.

Although Le Aya is not like Zhao Zhongling, she is very cheerful and outgoing and can speak very well, but she is not good at words, and after she regards Yanfeng Miyagi as her home, she slowly eliminates the sense of restraint that has been enveloping her.

Finding a random place to sit down and eat was something she would never have done when she came here five years ago.

When Zhao Hongxing walked down the steps, Le Aya just finished eating the last piece of dim sum in his hand, and when he saw Zhao Hongxing coming out, Le Aya patted the residue on his hand, stood up, took out a box of dim sum and handed it to him.

Zhao Hong was puzzled for a moment, and then remembered that this seemed to be the box given to him by the owner of the teahouse.

"Go ahead and eat. Zhao Hongxing didn't take it, but gave it to Le Aya.

Le Aya shook her head and said, "I'm full." ”

If you're full, you won't eat, which is also an advantage of Le Aya. However, Zhao Hongxing didn't want to eat these snacks, it was still early, and he said to Le Aya: "Let's go and see how my mother is?" ”

Le Aya didn't speak, but nodded happily, and then obediently hugged the box of snacks in her arms.

Xiao Biqiao's "sleeping palace" is not far from the imperial study, because Zhao Zongyang is the only wife, so there is no need to do any harem rules, the husband and wife live together.

In the Yanfeng royal family, everyone can see each other at any time, so there is no rule that children should go to their parents to say goodbye to their parents in the morning, noon and evening.

The reason why Zhao Hongxing wanted to go to Xiao Biqiao was because a year ago, he had two younger sisters born.

Zhao Hongxing clearly remembered Zhao Zongyang's smirk after learning that Xiao Biqiao was pregnant again, and he also clearly remembered his excitement after learning the news. He is not the youngest anymore, he hopes that he will not inherit the throne and live a leisurely life as a prince in the future.

But it's a pity that Xiao Biqiao gave birth to a twin sister for him.

In Yanfeng, the reason why the throne is passed on to men but not to women is because there are very few girls born in the Yanfeng royal family, and Zhao Zhongling, such a princess, is almost the first of ten generations, as if the genes of the Yanfeng family are suitable for giving birth to sons. Because of the small number, the Yanfeng royal family can only pass on men but not women, and even if there are one or two girls in this generation, they rarely succeed to the throne and become empresses.

It's not that there isn't one, but there are only one or two in Yanfeng's nearly thousand-year-old history. Because the girls of the Yan Feng family really don't have an advantage in the power of the Yan bloodline. After their bloodlines awaken, they will gain a thousand strange powers, but none of them can be directly embodied in their bodies like boys. So in the "battle" for succession to the throne, girls often do not have the advantage.

Moreover, most of the princesses of the Yan Feng family did not want to inherit the throne either. With his father and brothers to raise, who will have nothing to worry about climbing to the throne?

When these two girls were born, Zhao Hongming and Zhao Hongzhe, who got the news, immediately ran back, Zhao Zongyun and Zhao Zongming also rushed back with their daughters-in-law, and everyone celebrated the birth of these two girls together.

However, Zhao Hongxing is bitter, these two sisters are very likely not to participate in the "competition" for the throne, which proves that he will still be the one who becomes the emperor in the end.

Of course, after the bitterness, Zhao Hongxing still likes these two little sisters very much.

In his previous life, as an only child, Zhao Hongxing never experienced the feeling of having brothers and sisters. Although he has an older brother and a younger sister in this life, to be honest, Zhao Hongxing, who is in his thirties in terms of soul age, is psychologically difficult to admit that he is a younger brother.

However, these two sisters are different, although it is difficult for Zhao Hongxing to admit that Xiao Biqiao is his mother psychologically, but he is still willing to regard these two children who are extremely cute in carved jade as his sister.

And come and see it once a day.

Although he has already been there once during the day today, Zhao Hongxing plans to take the opportunity to send snacks to go again.

"Yo, here!" As soon as Zhao Hongxing entered Xiao Biqiao's room, he heard Zhao Zhongling beckoning him.

Zhao Zhongling's affection for his two younger sisters is no less than that of Zhao Hongxing, and he often treats Xiao Biqiao for a long time when he has nothing to do. At this time, she was sitting with Xiao Biqiao, embroidering something under the lamp.

"Mother, I just went out to buy some snacks in the teahouse, and I just brought them over for you to taste. Before Zhao Hongxing finished speaking, Le Aya came to sit down next to Xiao Biqiao, and put the snack box in his arms on the table and opened it, so that Xiao Biqiao and Zhao Zhongling could take it and eat it.

"Thank you, Aya'er. Xiao Biqiao touched Le Aya's head, which made Le Aya very happy. Zhao Zhongling picked up the dim sum very unceremoniously and tasted it carefully.

"Well, it's a little dry, mother, I should have some tea. Zhao Zhongling, who had chewed a piece of dim sum, put forward his opinion, looked at Le Aya again, and asked, "Don't you eat Aya'er?"

"I've just eaten, and I'm full. Le Aya repeated.

"So, drink some more tea?" Xiao Biqiao was not surprised at all by the fact that Le Aya and Zhao Hongxing had eaten outside.

"Okay, thank you, Auntie!" Le Aya nodded in agreement.

Zhao Hongxing found that no one in this room paid attention to him at all, and even Zhao Zhongling's greeting just now didn't seem to be to him......

Okay, I'm here to see my sisters. Zhao Hongxing comforted himself for a long time.

Coming to the bed of his twin sister, Zhao Hongxing cautiously stretched his neck and poked in to see that the two little guys were staring at him with big shining eyes.

"Hehe, are you awake?" Zhao Hongxing smiled, raised his left and right hands, and stretched out another finger while gently teasing the little hands of the two little guys.

The two little guys, who could already see things clearly and grasp them, were amused by Zhao Hongxing with his fingers. Zhao Hongxing, who was infected by the child's smile, also had a smirk on his face, and he was in a good mood and hummed softly.

"Two sisters, two sisters, so cute, so cute, they look exactly the same, they look exactly the same, they can't be separated, they can't be separated. Zhao Hongxing sang an adapted version of a children's song.

"Mother, you heard the sixth brother sing that strange tune again. Zhao Zhongling, who was drinking tea and eating snacks, heard the song that Zhao Hongxing was humming, and said to Xiao Biqiao with a disgusted face.

"He's in a good mood, just sing it. Xiao Biqiao smiled and continued to concentrate on embroidering the things on her hands.

"The sixth brother hummed a tune, I think it's pretty good. Le Aya took a small sip of tea and said.

"It's really popular. Zhao Zhongling pretended to be surprised and said.

That's a tasteful tune, this tune is a world-famous children's rhyme, and countries around the world have their own versions. Zhao Hongxing complained in his heart.

He didn't think about whether he was disgusted by Zhao Zhongling at all, whether it was because he hummed so badly.

"Mother, did Daddy give his sisters a good name?" Zhao Hongxing asked as he continued to play with his sister.

The royal family of Yanfeng is accustomed to naming children when they are one year old.

"Your sisters' names have already been chosen. ”。 Xiao Biqiao said. Zhao Zongyang is really concerned about the names of these two girls, and the names of the two children were set within a few days of birth, but they have not been announced.

Xiao Biqiao thought about it, anyway, the end of the month is the child's first birthday party, so she simply announced each part of the family first.

"My sister, my name is Zhao Yuling, and my sister's name is Zhao Xiuling. It just so happened that she couldn't hold it anymore.

"Oh, Zhong Lingyuxiu!" Zhao Zhongling said with satisfaction: "Yes, I like the way my father named him!"

"Sounds good. Le Aya also expressed her opinion.

"Is Zhong Lingyu beautiful?" Zhao Hongxing also muttered in his mouth, looked down at the two sisters again, and then was slightly stunned.

These two look exactly the same little guys, and he really can't tell who is the sister and who is the sister.

"Which should be called Yuling, which should be called Xiuling, inseparable, inseparable......" Zhao Hongxing snorted helplessly.

"Ah, yes. Xiao Biqiao seemed to suddenly think of something, "When your eldest brother gets married, a mysterious figure will also come." ”

"Mysterious person?" Zhao Hongxing said suspiciously.

"Who?" Zhao Zhongling asked curiously, and Le Aya also tilted her head curiously to look at Xiao Biqiao.

Xiao Biqiao smiled mysteriously and said, "You guess?"

Seeing Xiao Biqiao's pretending to be mysterious, Zhao Hongxing and Zhao Zhongling were not in a hurry to guess, because they knew that Xiao Biqiao would definitely not be able to hold back and say it in the end.

"Hehe, can't you guess, right?" Sure enough, Xiao Biqiao only kept the suspense for less than ten seconds.

"It's your second brother, Zhao Hongsheng is also coming!" Xiao Biqiao proudly announced the answer.

"Wow!" It was Zhao Zhongling who reacted more loudly, because in her impression, this second brother only lived in the "legend" and had never seen him in person.

In fact, let alone Zhao Zhongling, even Xiao Biqiao has never seen this mysterious second prince. When Zhao Hongsheng was taken away by the sect master, she hadn't married Zhao Zongyang yet.

After Le Aya heard the result, she continued to drink tea without caring about herself.

It has never been seen that the second brother is suddenly going to attend the wedding of the eldest brother?So why did he go for so many years?Zhao Hongxing Xinli muttered silently.

While playing with his two younger sisters, he started humming again.

"The second brother said he wanted to come back, and the second brother said he wanted to come back, it's weird, it's weird. ”
