Shen Haolin and Shen Cha walked out of Uncle Yan's courtyard hand in hand, and braved the heavy snow to go to the main courtyard of the Guogong Mansion, that is, the courtyard where the old grandfather and the old duchess lived before their deaths. In this courtyard, there is a very mysterious place, even if it is the people of the Guogong Mansion, few people know about it.

Walking into the ancestral hall dedicated to the ancestors of the Shen family, Shen Haolin and Shen Cha respectfully kowtowed to the tablets of the ancestors, put on incense, and then turned around the spiritual position and came to the back door of the ancestral hall through a secret passage. When you open the back door, you enter another courtyard, as if you have come to another world.

This courtyard looks deserted and unpopular, but in fact, this should be the most heavily guarded place in the entire Zhenguo Mansion, and if an outsider enters, he will definitely die.

Although this courtyard is very large, there is only one room, or only one storehouse, which is the legendary Guogongfu armory with hundreds of varieties and nearly 1,000 pieces of divine weapons.

Although the description of the divine weapon is a bit exaggerated, each of these nearly a thousand weapons, each of which has a great background, carries the painstaking efforts of several generations of Zhenguo Gong, and even pays a great price.

Except for a very small part of the rewards of the first emperor and Song Jue, most of them are trophies, all taken from the hands of Liao and Jin generals, and several of them are famous weapons with relatively high rankings on the weapon spectrum. And this armory was built for them.

The guards of the armory were the private soldiers of the Imperial Palace, because they wore armor and masks all year round, so they were used to being called iron guards. There are a total of 100 ironclad guards here, and they are the best of the best soldiers, and they can be excellent in every assessment. Anyone can fight against a hundred, unless there is a particularly urgent battle that requires their support, and most of the time, their duty is to guard the armory. With them, it's hard for even a fly to fly in.

"Grandpa Guo, general!" The four ironclad guards who were in charge of guarding the door of the armory saw Shen Haolin and Shen Cha, and they all knelt down on one knee and saluted.

"Everyone, please." Shen Haolin raised his hand, and together with Shen Cha, handed over the tokens of the two of them to the ironclad guards for inspection.

The little leader guarding the door picked up the two tokens and walked to the left and right sides of the gate, put the tokens into the dark grooves on both sides, and when the gate slowly opened, the little leader took out the two tokens and respectfully held them in front of Shen Haolin and Shen Cha.

"Grandpa Guo, general, please take it!"

"Thank you, great effort!" Shen Haolin took the two tokens back and looked at Shen Cha, "Let's go!" ”

The whole armory is divided into one floor above the ground and one floor underground, and the ground floor is empty, and only two weapons are placed in the most conspicuous position, one is the crescent moon slash used by the old grandfather before his death, and the other is the eight snake spears of the old duchess of the old country.

The people of the whole Great Xia thought that although the old Duchess was born in Jiangmen, she had not learned the kung fu of the family. People who think this way are actually all wrong, the kung fu of the old duchess is not worse than that of the old country, and a snake spear dances like a tiger. She followed the old grandfather to fight in the north and south, and later stationed in Jiaping Guancheng for many years, and also killed a lot of foreigners, but the old princess has always been low-key and doesn't like to be in the limelight, and her military exploits have been added to the old grandfather. Emperor Xian and Song Jue are very clear about this.

Shen Haolin and Shen Cha knelt in front of the Crescent Moon Slash and Zhangba Snake Spear and kowtowed, then walked to the side of the Crescent Moon Slash, and gently turned a wolf head sculpture on the shelf, and the wall on the left slowly parted from the middle, revealing a mysterious secret passage.

Shen Haolin and Shen Cha walked into the secret passage, found another wolf head sculpture in the door, twisted it, and saw the secret door slowly closing, then turned around and left, and went down the stairs to the basement floor of the armory.

Although the downward path was a little dark, when I actually reached the basement floor of the armory, it suddenly opened up in front of me, and there were a hundred permanent lamps lit inside, illuminating the place as if it were day.

"Grandpa Guo, General!" The leader of the ironclad guards saluted Shen Haolin and Shen Cha, "What do you want to see when you two come today?" ”

"I'm here to pick up something like that today!" Shen Cha smiled, "Take us there!" ”

"Yes, please come with me!" The leader nodded knowingly, "This way, please." ”

"Before you know it, the armory already has so many things." Shen Haolin pulled Shen Cha, looked at it all the way, and said with emotion, "The more weapons we collect here, the more foreign clans we kill." ”

"The more foreign clans with identity are killed, this is the general of the Jin Kingdom, I still remember that when he was beheaded by his brother, he was shocked, and he couldn't believe that he had fought for so many years, and he would lose at the hands of a young general." Shen Cha took Shen Haolin's hand and chuckled, "However, Wan Yanlun's weapon looks strange, and I have never seen him use it." When he usually goes to the battlefield, he always uses a scimitar like an ordinary soldier, and how to use his own unique weapon seems to be a mystery. ”

"This thing is actually very similar to a mace, and it is estimated that the usage is similar, but he has a mechanism, and how to use this mechanism is very critical, and if you don't get it right, you will hurt yourself." Shen Haolin looked at the leader of the guards, "When this thing was put in before, some of them were curious to use it, but fortunately, they were quick and quickly dodged, otherwise they would have been really injured." ”

"Grandpa Guo is right." The leader of the guards nodded, and the three of them stood in front of the strange weapon, he pointed to the front and back, "There are mechanisms on both sides of the front and back, and they can shoot out very thin silver needles. On top of that, we checked it later, and every silver needle was poisonous. So, no matter how interested we were, we never touched it again. ”

"Well done!" Shen Haolin and Shen Cha nodded at the same time, "Safety is the most important." ”

The three of them walked all the way and watched all the way, the memories of these years of conquest slowly came to their hearts, Shen Haolin and Shen Cha were a little emotional, although they were twenty-two years old and one was about to pass their eighteenth birthday, but they have experienced too many things in just over 20 years or more than ten years, the ups and downs of life, joys and sorrows, they have already tasted it, and they feel a lot older than their peers.

"It's here!"

After walking for almost a cup of tea, the three of them finally came to the destination of their trip, this area is full of famous bows and arrows, almost a hundred, all from Liao and Jin generals. And the purpose of Shen Haolin and Shen Cha was to hang the heavy bow with an all-black body in the center of the middle row.

"Take it down!" Shen Haolin pointed to the heavy bow made of Ugin and smiled lightly, "After going around and around for so many years, this bow and arrow is still back in Yan Bo's hands." ”

"yes!" Shen Cha nodded, stretched out his hand and took the bow and arrow that the leader of the guards held, "Take it like this, this bow weighs more than 100 catties, and if you don't have any strength, you really can't pull it open." She reached out and pinched the bowstring, pulled a full string, and when she put it gently, she heard a "pop", and the candle that had been placed not far away to supplement the lighting was extinguished in an instant. Shen Cha raised his eyebrows and couldn't help but praise, "Good bow!" ”

"The general is good kung fu!" The leader of the guards praised, "This bow weighs one hundred and twenty pounds, and half of the ironclad guards can't pull a full string." ”

"The bow of the general of the Jin State is still a little lighter than that of the general of the Liao State, the last time I was in Wuma Town, I weighed the bow of the old general Yan Zesheng, it was much heavier than this, at least two hundred catties, I could only barely pull a full string." Shen Cha took the box of the head of the guard and carefully put the bow in, "Okay, after so many years here, it's time to return it to Uncle Yan." ”

"No, this bow was obtained by Yan Bo back then, but a lot of things happened at that time, he was hit very badly, and he couldn't pull the bow at all, so my father could only temporarily put this into the armory. Now that the knot in my heart has been untied, I can return it to its original owner. ”

"At that time, Brother Xiao Tian said that he wanted to give a congratulatory gift, and I thought of this. I don't think it's good to send this amount of silver, after all, Uncle Yan is not short of silver flowers, isn't it? ”

"Yes, I have a heart, and I want to go with me." Shen Haolin patted the head of the guard on the shoulder, "Get busy, let's go out by ourselves." ”

"Congratulations to the grandfather of the country, congratulations to the general!"

Shen Haolin carried the box containing the black gold heavy bow, and returned the same way with Shen Cha, and returned to the ancestral hall through two secret passages.

"Father, Mother!" Shen Haolin put the box on the ground, knelt on the futon with Shen Cha, and kowtowed to the spiritual position of the old grandfather and the old lady, "Today is a good day, a big day for Uncle Qin and Uncle Yan." They have been separated for many years because of misunderstandings, leaving a knot in each other's hearts. Years later, the misunderstanding was resolved, the knot disappeared, and they decided to work together to get through the last phase of their lives. Father and Mother, bless them. ”

"Father, mother, my brother and I decided to give this bow as a congratulatory gift to Uncle Yan, hoping that they will be harmonious and beautiful in the future. They are our relatives and elders, my brother and I will be filial to them, you can rest assured! ”

After speaking, Shen Haolin and Shen Cha kowtowed three times towards the spiritual position, stood up, picked up the small box and walked out of the ancestral hall.

"Shall we put this back in our house?" Shen Cha pulled Shen Haolin in the direction of Tiger Hill, "When the time is almost up, let's find an excuse to sneak out and surprise them, how about it?" ”

"Good!" Shen Haolin smiled dotingly, "Listen to you." ”

The two men walked hand in hand back to Tiger Hill and back to their bedroom, hiding the box in the dark compartment behind the bookshelf.

"Let's go, I want to see if Xiaoyun and Seventeen and Eighteen have come up with some good ideas to embarrass my master."

"You're not worried about your master getting angry at all? After so many years, no one dared to play tricks on him. ”

Shen Cha closed the door, looked at Shen Haolin with a smile, pulled him and said as he walked, "My master is very generous, harmless little jokes, he won't care at all, and besides, I bet with you, he will definitely play harder than us!" ”

"I hope so!"

Shen Haolin and Shen Cha returned to Yan Bo's courtyard, and saw three people squatting under the eaves at a glance, when they left, these people were squatting like this, and an hour had passed, and they were still squatting like this, without even changing their postures.

"You guys ......" Shen Cha first dragged Song Qiyun up, threw him into the house, and then gave Shadow Seventeen and Shadow Eighteen, "Don't you feel cold?" What should I do if I get frostbite? By the way, what about Meizhu? ”

"Sister Miao Miao asked people to come over and say that she didn't have enough manpower over there, and she wanted to find Sister Xiaozhu and Sister Xiaolin."

Shen Cha stood under the eaves and shouted towards the roof, "Fifteen, go get a few bowls of ginger soup, and remember to bring your own." ”

"Okay, wait for me in a while, I'll be back right away!"

Shen Cha watched Ying Fifteen swoop away, turned around and entered the house, and saw Shen Haolin bringing two charcoal basins to the three bear children. She stuffed the hand stove she was carrying into Song Qiyun's hand, and took two stoves from the table and handed them to Ying Seventeen and Ying Eighteen.

"The three of you are pretty good, aren't you really afraid of being frozen into an iceman?"

"Sister Xiaocha, we're not cold at all." Song Qiyun held the stove and smiled at Shen Haolin and Shen Cha, "Even if our legs are a little numb, we don't dare to get up." What did you two do? ”

"It's a secret, you'll know when the time comes." Shen Cha smiled, turned his head and saw Ying Fifteen running in with a food box, "Slow down!" She took the food box, put it on the table, took out the ginger soup inside, and distributed it to everyone. She saw that the others were frowning at the ginger soup in front of her, raised her eyebrows slightly, drank her bowl with bated breath, and then put the empty bowl on the table. "I'm done!"

Shen Haolin was the second to finish drinking, and after drinking, he took out a small purse and took out two pieces of sugar from it, one for himself to eat, and the other into Shen Cha's mouth.

When the other four people saw Shen Haolin and Shen Cha, even if they were reluctant, they had no choice but to pick up the bowl, pinch their noses and pour down the ginger soup.

"It's spicy!" Song Qiyun put the bowl back on the table and ate a piece of candy, "Look at my sweat, the little chill just now is gone." ”

"You three squatted there for a long time, what good ideas did you come up with?" Shen Cha leaned towards Shen Haolin, "Don't say anything I didn't expect!" ”

"We just can't make a choice." Song Qiyun stretched out a finger, "First, ask the deputy marshal to tell the most touching thing that happened between the two of them, it's okay not to say it, but you have to drink three cups of hot ginger tea, dogwood tea and garlic tea." Second, please make an affectionate confession to Uncle Yan, otherwise you can play a set of boxing techniques, or you can not box, wait for Uncle Yan to come out, and carry Uncle Yan all the way to the warm pavilion. ”

"Just two?" Shen Cha raised his eyebrows, "It sounds pretty good, but forget about the three cups of tea, my master's illness has not been long in coming, so don't eat this kind of irritating thing." It's okay to tell the things that move them the most, forget about that affectionate confession, they are different from Brother Xiaotian, they are very thin-skinned, it is impossible to do such a thing. It's very okay to carry Uncle Yan to the warm pavilion on his back, and I agree with this. But...... None of you are embarrassed enough, I have a particularly good idea. ”

"What?" Everyone's eyes were focused on Shen Cha's body.

"My master hates eating celery the most, and he can't stand the taste, so he ......" Shen Cha raised his eyebrows, "We can prepare celery for him, not too much, one is enough!" ”

"Cha'er ......" Shen Haolin patted Shen Cha's arm, "You are really a pro-apprentice!" ”
