When the gates were opened, it was not yet full of light, and it was getting late in winter.

Not too many people entered the city early in the morning, Zhuang Rou and Yang Qing entered the city and went back to the government directly.

Zhuang Rou went to the warehouse of Hongzhou Mansion first, while Yang Qing reported to Xiao Ran about last night, and now Chu Xia was still sleeping, it was impossible for such a trivial matter to disturb him.

Yang Qing also wanted to see what weapon Zhuang Rou had chosen, so he said something to Xiao Ran, and went to the warehouse to find Zhuang Rou.

Only then did he walk into the courtyard of the warehouse where the warehouse was located, and he saw Zhuang Rou standing in the courtyard, holding an object and throwing it around.

Looking at that thing, Yang Qing was so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth, and dared to say for a long time, this is the weapon she was looking for?

A shield!

I don't know where she pulled out a big worn shield from the warehouse, and I don't know how long it has been placed, but it's all rusty.

There were buckets and rags beside them, and the water and cloth were as black as ink, so you could see how dirty the shield had become.

Seeing him standing there with a very surprised look, Zhuang Rou put down the shield that was more than an inch thick, slapped it twice and said proudly: "Brother Yang, what do you think of this guy?" ”

Yang Qing asked inexplicably: "I thought you would choose a sharper weapon, but I didn't expect to find a big shield, obviously no one can hurt you, why do you get a shield?" ”

"Who said that no one could hurt me, didn't you just pierce my hand before, if I meet a master, I won't be in danger. So I thought, if I get a shield, I won't be stronger. Zhuang Rou raised his hand and asked him to see the back of his hand that had been pierced just now and was now beginning to scarn.

Then she touched the edge of the shield and said, "In a moment I will go to the craftsmen and have them sharpen the edge of the shield so that they can use it as a weapon." ”

"Is the edge of the shield sharpened into a blade?" Yang Qing touched his chin with some surprise, thinking that she had just thrown the shield into the air, and if she really wanted to sharpen it like that, it would not be a huge knife.

Spin and throw it out, and the general encirclement can be broken directly.

He asked, "Why do you have so much strength now, because of your internal strength?" ”

Zhuang Rou tilted her head and thought for a while, "I don't know, but Yinba's strength is also greater than that of ordinary monkeys." Maybe the red woman has the ability to make manpower infinite, when I was injured and couldn't move, she passed a little internal force on me. ”

"It's possible that I want to be better and live longer, and I won't die halfway through it."

She felt that this was the only possibility, and her strength was not bad before, but it was still far worse than now.

Think about it carefully, the red woman has also given herself a lot of benefits, and when the spring arrives in Qingming, it will be good to burn some paper money for her.

Yang Qing stared at her shield and asked uncertainly, "I don't know how long your shield has been placed, there are so many rust spots, I'm afraid it's not strong, right?" ”

"No way, I'll show you." Zhuang Rou leaned his shield against the side of the flower bed, then stood next to it and tried it, raising his foot to step on it hard.

Bang!

The shield made a loud noise, and she stepped on it in two and smashed it to the ground.

Zhuang Rou looked at his feet in disbelief, the one-inch-thick shield was so easily crushed. Thinking that he still wanted to use this to deal with the enemy, he suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

Yang Qing smacked his lips and said in a prescient tone: "I knew that it would not be strong to say this earlier." ”

"Anyway, I robbed a few dozen taels of silver, so I'll go to the blacksmith now to make a strong shield." I knew that I didn't want to use ready-made ones, and the things in this broken yamen were naturally left for many years.

The bows and arrows last time were also accumulated with a lot of dust, and where are the weapons good.

Yang Qing reminded: "The craftsmanship of these blacksmiths, where is the Xuanji camp good, just let the adults send you a shield." Maybe you'll get a special shield. ”

Zhuang Rou clapped her hands, how could she forget this guy.

Chu Xia has such a good relationship with the Xuanji Battalion, he can get armor for himself, but it's just a shield, so it's not a problem.

Thinking of this, she patted Yang Qing, thanked him for the reminder and ran away.

According to Chu Xia's usual habits, he hasn't gotten up yet, but it doesn't matter at all, just wake up.

She jumped into the yard, ran directly to the backyard, slammed open the door and rushed into the inner room, and saw Chu Xia sitting on the bed with her clothes wide open, reading a letter.

The room was warmed by the brazier, and his face was flushed with a nice flush.

Chu Xia looked at Zhuang Rou who came in with a cold wind, and said with dissatisfaction in her heart: Come in without even knocking on the door again, and don't want to think about how much trouble she has caused, she really doesn't clean up, she is becoming more and more disagreeable!

Zhuang Rou ignored his meaningful gaze, happily threw herself on his bed, and said with a smile: "My lord, send me a good shield." The edges have to be polished, the sharp kind, it's better to get it quickly, and I'm going to go out and catch the bandits. ”

As soon as the words fell, Chu Xia handed the letter in his hand to her, "The letter sent by Zhuang Xuewen, take a look." ”

"What, you actually read the letter my brother wrote to me privately." Zhuang Rou snatched the letter and gave him a big roll of the eyes before looking at it carefully.

But there were only two upright words written on the letter, "Obedient." ”

Zhuang Rou took the letter, lost the smile on her face, and just stared at the two words, as if she had never known the words.

Chu Xia looked at her suffocated appearance, and there was a burst of secret joy in his heart, thanks to the fact that he flew the pigeon and passed the book back overnight, this is the only way to get these two words.

Without Zhuang Xuewen to speak, it was not easy for her to be honest, and now she can finally sleep peacefully.

And Zhuang Rou put down the letter at this time and looked at Chu Xia sadly, "What did my brother ask me to listen to?" ”

"Of course listen to me, you just kill Yang Rong's younger brother, and even hang him on the head of the city, don't you want the guard to come and trouble me." Chu Xia lay down, supported his head and muttered.

Zhuang Rou looked at him and asked again, "What does my brother want me to do?" ”

Chu Xia said very casually: "Don't do anything for the time being, you can count and save food if you have nothing to do, and the homeless people will run out of food." ”

"......" Zhuang Rou grabbed the letter, staring at the patterns on the futon, a little unwilling, "If someone robs the village and town, it will cause a civil uprising, and our people will not be able to stop it at all." ”

"I know." Chu Xia suddenly accosted.

Zhuang Rou raised his head violently, a little surprised that he actually opened his mouth to admit that this guy who kept stirring in Hongzhou.

Seeing that she was very surprised, Chu Xia scratched his face and said cheekily: "The displaced people have changed, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but it is hard to find." ”

"So, you deliberately pretended to be stupid and let them eat meat buns and thick porridge, in order to use up the silver taels for disaster relief as soon as possible?" Zhuang Rou suddenly realized that many things suddenly became clear, he was not relieving the disaster, but pushing the displaced people to go to the people's rebellion.

Suddenly, she covered her mouth, looked at Chu Xia with wide eyes, and said in disbelief: "You and my brother want to rebel?" Which of you two is emperor! ”

Chu Xia looked at her in surprise, "You think too much, why do the two of us have to be emperors, can't we do things for the emperor?" ”

"However, when you are the emperor, you say it so smoothly!"

Zhuang Rou stared at him and smiled awkwardly, "Aiwu and Wu, I think my brother doesn't say that he is an emperor, even if he is an immortal, it is enough." ”

"You woman! Look, I watched it too, I touched it, and I still had my name on my back. Cousins and cousins are relatives, not cousins, so you should dispel that dirty thought earlier! Chu Xia said angrily, she can only look at herself like this, how can she say Zhuang Xuewen like that.

Zhuang Rou was taken aback by his words, and after reacting, she immediately asked angrily: "What are you thinking, do you think that there is still half a year, and Princess Rongbao will come to the capital." Just now deduct the basin for me, find an excuse to break the oath, and go to fly with your princess? ”

"If you dare, I'll pinch you to death!" She raised her hands and squeezed them, gritting her teeth and threatening.

Chu Xia stared at her, suddenly tilted his head and said, "Then you kiss me." ”

"......" Zhuang Rou looked at him speechlessly, this bastard, the business hasn't finished yet!
