So next, Zhanhuai and Huo Roufeng, with four eyes, stared at the gate of Lao Cangzhou without blinking.

After a while, Huo Roufeng's eyes were sour, but when she saw that Zhanhuai was still focused, she asked, "Aren't your eyes sour?" ”

Zhan Huai said with a smile: "When I was a child learning archery, I thought I could shoot by staring at the bull's-eye, so I saw it from morning to night, and later I learned that it was not practiced like this, and it was only a little longer, which was far worse than then." ”

Huo Roufeng became interested and said, "I can also shoot arrows, but I haven't practiced for a long time, why don't we learn from each other?" ”

Zhanhuai didn't expect Huo Roufeng to shoot arrows, but he didn't think much about it, so he said, "Okay, it's a pity that I didn't bring the usual bow when I came...... When you go home, you see Hua Sanniang and ask her to find a bow that matches two bows, and I use a two-stone bow. ”

Huo Roufeng laughed, it turned out that Zhanhuai had something difficult to do, and he also asked Hua Sanniang to go, just like a bow and arrow, the imperial court originally strictly forbade ordinary people to hide weapons privately, but if large families want to maintain and guard, private weapons are indispensable, but most of these weapons are not built in small workshops that do not enter the stream, far less than those supervised by the Ordnance Bureau.

However, the Ordnance Bureau was subordinate to the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and when the materials and wages were issued, they were rarely exploited layer by layer, and when they reached the hands of the craftsmen, six or seven out of ten were gone.

In the reign of Gaozong, the then Duke of Min took advantage of the great victory of the sailors and asked the emperor to issue a holy decree to authorize the Zhanjia to build an armament bureau, a ship bureau and a gunpowder bureau in Fu.

The weapons created by the exhibitors themselves are full of materials and heat, far beyond those created by the Ministry of Industry.

As early as when she was in Hangzhou, Huo Roufeng had heard from Zhang Shengping that the Zhan family could build weapons by herself, and also knew that the Zhan family had to buy iron and stone from Sichuan and Beizhili every year, so now she couldn't help but laugh when she saw Zhanhuai's appearance.

Suddenly, he remembered what Zhanhuai had just said, and asked, "Hey, can you really pull the Ershi Bow?" ”

Zhanhuai straightened his chest: "Last year, I was able to pull the two-stone bow, and once I even pulled my eldest brother's three-stone bow." ”

Huo Roufeng's eyes widened, Sanshi Bow, my obedient, that's divine power.

Zhanhuai was already very surprised that she was able to pull away the Ershi Bow, because Zhanhuai was only fifteen years old and only a half-grown child.

She didn't expect the prince of Min to be able to pull the three-stone bow, she remembered that in her previous life, only Zhenguo Gong made the three-stone bow, and she didn't expect that the descendants of the Duke of Min also had this divine power.

"Bragging, how old are you to pull the three-stone bow?" Huo Roufeng's snow-white fingers brushed her face and made a shy gesture.

Zhanhuai's ears were red again: "I didn't brag, Xiao Jiu, I won't brag to you, I really pulled it away once, and then I wanted to try again, but the eldest brother and the third brother didn't let me pull it, saying that I was still young and not easy to rush, otherwise I would hurt my body, and the gains outweighed the losses, so I didn't try again, if you don't believe it, find a three-stone bow tomorrow, and I'll show you." ”

"I believe it, I believe it", Huo Roufeng hurriedly waved her hand, she understands this truth, how old a person is to show his talents, his body has not yet fully grown, if he pulls the three-stone bow again, maybe it will really hurt his muscles and bones, "Then use the two-stone bow you often make." ”

Zhanhuai's heart is warm again, although Xiao Jiu is young, she is like a big girl when she is sensible.

Although he was talking, his eyes never left the gate of Lao Cangzhou, and at this moment, he saw a person walking out.

"Xiao Jiu, look at it, is it this person?" He asked.

Huo Roufeng hurriedly looked over, and saw that a person had just walked down the steps at the gate of Lao Cangzhou, he was wearing a lead-gray silk cotton cloak, revealing a piece of silk robe, although he was wearing silk and satin, but he shrunk his shoulders and hooked his back, and with a little experience, he could see at a glance that eight or nine times out of ten this person was an errand boy in a large family.

Huo Roufeng stared at this person hard, the more she looked at it, the more she looked like the person last time, and she said to Zhanhuai: "Like, very similar." ”

Zhanhuai nodded, and said to Huo Roufeng: "After I go back, let the Geng brothers draw his appearance, and you will find a way to let people check according to the portrait to see which mansion he is working in." ”

Looking at this person's dress, it should be the steward of a large family, although the capital is an official as far as the eye can see, but the more this is the case, the more difficult it is to inquire about the news, but all such people must often come out to walk around in place of the master's house, and it is not difficult to inquire about them.

Huo Roufeng let out a long sigh of relief, and was about to put down the curtains, when he saw another person walking out of the gate of Lao Cangzhou.

This time, Huo Roufeng recognized it at a glance: "Su Qian! ”

Zhan Huai had already left the curtain, and when he heard this, he opened the corner again and looked out, and from Huo Roufeng's words, he was very interested in this companion of King Qing.

What's more, when Huo Roufeng mentioned Su Qian to him, he also added a special sentence: "The eyebrows are clear and the eyes are beautiful, and he looks good." ”

In short, Huo Jiuye's understanding of a person starts with the face, if you are good-looking, you will know more, and if you are not good-looking, you will not be beautiful, Huo Jiuye is too lazy to know.

The Su Qian in front of him is the same as Zhanhuai imagined, medium stature, slightly thin, with a bookish air between his eyebrows, even if his face is calm at this time, it makes people feel alienated.

This is a typical son-in-law of a famous family.

Su Qian walked straight to the carriage in the distance, Zhanhuai guessed correctly, the carriage was indeed his.

He got into the carriage directly, and there was no attendant, and the carriage took a few steps forward, then turned a corner and disappeared.

Zhan Huai said to Huo Roufeng: "Su Qian came alone, did he meet you here before, is he also a person?" ”

Huo Roufeng nodded: "Yes, he is also alone, at least what I see is a person, but I don't know if there is anyone in the secret." ”

That's true, just like now, although they all saw that he got into the carriage alone, and looked at it from a distance, and there was only the handlebar style of the car, but no one knew if the Qingwang Mansion had sent a secret guard to follow him quietly.

Huo Roufeng said: "He met me here before, and it was with King Qing's approval, but I don't know, this time he came quietly, or King Qing knew about it." ”

Speaking of this, Huo Roufeng was a little unenergetic, and she said: "If the person who Brother Xie met here last time is indeed the same person today, then this person must have something to do with the Taiping Society, and Su Qian has something to do with the Taiping Society?" ”

She remembered that when she was in Zhejiang and Jiangsu, she saw along the way, even the village women who were washing clothes by the pond would move out of the Taiping Society to frighten people, which shows how powerful the Taiping Society is in the Jiangnan area.

Isn't Su Qian from Zhejiang?
