In ancient times, ordinary people were allowed to have bows and arrows, swords, but never crossbows and armor.

Hearing Wang Jian say this, Wang Ben came to his senses, he didn't want to build it in Wulu, he didn't want the technology of this crossbow to leak, the knife didn't matter, it wasn't as important as the crossbow.

Bai Zhong said: "I plan to enter the palace tomorrow to see the king, explain my plan, the crossbow may not be successful, but the king will definitely agree to the saddle." ”

"For now, the saddle is the most practical!"

There were also cavalry under Wang Jian's command, and the number was not large, only 10,000.

If he can equip the saddle, he is confident that the combat power of his cavalry will be greatly improved.

"General, two generals, Zhao Fu's order is here."

At this time, a short soldier of Wang Jian came over and said.

Wang Jian said: "Please! ”

After a while, Zhao Gao walked into the barracks and said, "I have seen the general and the two generals, the king has an order, tomorrow in the northern suburbs of the garden hunting, please three of you also participate." ”

The garden is the royal garden and forest garden.

"Hunting?"

After Bai Zhong heard this, his eyes lit up, this was a good opportunity to show his saddle and bow and crossbow, and he didn't need to go to the palace so troublesomely.

After Zhao Gao finished speaking, he also sent a wooden slip.

After Wang Jian opened it and read it, his thoughts were the same as Bai Zhong's, and he smiled: "The hunt came just right." ”

Zhao Gao didn't understand what it meant, but he sent the wooden slip out, and then left the camp.

They briefly chatted for a while, and the rest was settled, and Bai Zhong continued to go back to train the soldiers, and did not return to Xianyang until the afternoon, but as soon as he arrived home, Zijin came to say that Zhao Gao had been waiting in the mansion for a while.

When he was in the Lantian camp, he had only met Zhao Gao, why did he come to him again so quickly.

"Why is Zhao Fuling?"

Bai Zhong asked politely in the hall.

Zhao Gao got up and said: "Thinking that there is nothing else to do this afternoon, I specially came to visit General Bai, I heard that General Bai and Wu Lu have been moving around a little frequently recently, how do you feel?" ”

Bai Zhong said truthfully: "At the beginning, Zhao Fuling suggested that I could start with a businessman to pull a relationship, and it just so happened that I also had some things to cooperate with Wulu, so I often went to him, Wulu is a person who can be used at the moment, but his interests are too heavy, I am worried that if someone gives him enough benefits, he can betray our Daqin." ”

"General Bai is right!"

Zhao Gao agreed: "I was about to remind the general of this, but the general has seen through in advance, and today I came in vain." ”

It turned out that he was looking for himself with this purpose, Bai Zhong smiled and said, "Zhao Mansion Ling praised." ”

It's just that Zhao Gao's reminder is sincere or has another purpose, Bai Zhong can't see through it.

Before crossing over, he knew that Zhao Gao in it was not a good person.

What is the nature of this Zhao Gao now, Bai Zhong is not easy to judge, and it is still okay to be a friend at present.

"It's okay for Wu Lu to use it for the time being, in the long run, it's safer to be a widow, but it's a pity that I didn't have a chance to meet her."

"General Bai must take a good grasp of the widow Qing."

Zhao Gao smiled and said goodbye to Bai Zhong again.

Bai Zhong still couldn't figure it out, he hadn't even seen what the widow looked like, so how could he grasp it well.

Back to the middle courtyard.

I saw Bai Lan and Zhou Yu, two girls, still sitting next to the lady.

They are more than ten years apart in age, but they seem to have a lot in common, and they haven't finished talking about it for a day.

"General White!"

The lady rose first and saluted.

Bai Zhong nodded slightly, chatted with them for a while, and then went back to the room to change the armor of the military camp.

He had just finished everything, and Zijin had already asked the kitchen to prepare dinner.

In ancient times, there was not much content in the evening life, and after dinner, they basically went back to their rooms to rest, and Zhou Yu immediately got tired of Bai Zhong's side again, and gently served Bai Zhong to change his clothes.

"How are you at home today?"

Bai Zhong hugged her and asked softly.

Zhou Yu said obediently: "Madame temporarily moved in, the house is very lively, Lan'er and I are very happy." ”

Bai Zhong thought for a while and then asked, "What is the name of Madame?" We always called her Madame, and we didn't even know her name. ”

"Madame's surname is Qin, and her name is Qing."

"She wants us to call her Sister Qing, but Lan'er and I like to call Mrs. so it's more respectful."

"Why is the lover interested in Madame?"

Zhou Yu said simply, and finally asked curiously.

Bai Zhong said with a smile: "There is one more person in our family for the time being, of course we have to understand clearly, you said that her name is Qin Qing." ”

The name Qin Qing, Bai Zhong felt very familiar, and thought to himself that it wouldn't be so coincidental, right?

"That's right!"

Zhou Yu nodded slightly.

Bai Zhong asked again: "Is she in business?" Bashu people? ”

Zhou Yujiao smiled: "My lover knows it, why do you still ask me?" ”

A merchant, a native of Bashu, her husband died young.

These clues were simply strung together by Bai Zhong, and a person's name was immediately derived - Widow Qing!

It turned out that the widow Qing had always been by her side.

Bai Zhong finally understood why Zhao Gao said this just now.

"It turned out to be her!"

Bai Zhong said dumbly.

Zhou Yu asked curiously: "The lover knew about Mrs. before?" ”

"Just heard of it."

Bai Zhong briefly told him what he knew about Widow Qing.

Zhou Yu admired: "It turns out that Mrs. is so powerful!" ”

Then, her pretty face flushed slightly, her cheek was pressed against Bai Zhong's heart, and she said shyly: "Beloved, our child ......"

"Tomorrow I'm going to hunt with the king!"

Bai Zhong's words, Zhou Yu understood after listening to them.

Tomorrow you need to conserve your strength.

Zhou Yu has some resentment, but of course she can understand her husband.

Bai Zhong pinched her little nose and said softly, "Don't think too much, you're not suitable to conceive a child at the moment, you know?" ”

"Why?"

Zhou Yu asked a little ignorantly.

Bai Zhong could only give her a science popularization of things such as being pregnant with a child and hurting her body.

After Zhou Yu understood the reason, her heart was warm, and she hugged her husband's hands harder, and said happily: "The lover is so good." ”

Feeling her husband's care and warmth, she felt that she had no regrets in this life.

"Rest!"

Bai Zhong said softly.

"Uh-huh!"

Zhou Yu responded briskly.

Early the next morning.

Bai Zhong left Xianyang and came to the royal garden in the northern suburbs.

At this time, Ying Zheng had already arrived in the garden, and the Praetorian Guards began to deploy defenses, and he came relatively early, because Wang Jian and they had not yet arrived.

"General Bai, you can't bring your knife in."

As soon as Bai Zhong was about to dismount and walk inside, he was stopped by two guards, who did not recognize the folded crossbow, but saw the horizontal knife at a glance.

"Okay!"

Bai Zhong forgot that he couldn't bring a knife to see Yingzheng, and was about to untie the knife.

Ying Zheng was standing not far from the entrance, and when he heard the words outside, he looked back and waved his hand: "You don't need to untie the knife, let Bai Qing come in." ”

"Yui!"

The two guards arched.

Bai Zhong went inside and saw that there was a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy beside Ying Zheng, who looked gentle as jade, elegant and extraordinary, and after taking a second look, he hurriedly said, "Meet the king!" ”
