Chapter 16: The Truth
Martial Courtyard, as the name suggests, is the courtyard where the royal samurai family lived in the Zhou Mansion.
Emperor Tiansheng Yuan was friendly with Zhou Xuantong's father, and his mother and queen were also sisters, and their feelings were excellent, like sisters.
Therefore, he often stayed in the Zhou Mansion, and the martial arts academy was born.
In the martial arts courtyard, Wu Zixin had already changed into her usual clothes, and sat at the table with her usual face, as if she was a suitable talent, and nothing had happened.
Zhou Boyi was already seated, while Zhou Yi and Zhang Yan were sitting at a small table on the side, looking at this side.
"You...... Isn't it too troublesome?" Wu Zixin really couldn't help it and said.
Zhou Xuantong pursed his lips, fiddled with the plate, and only after the nine dishes on the table were neatly arranged in the shape of a nine-square grid, he nodded with satisfaction.
"What's so troublesome about this, isn't it neat and tidy?" Glancing at the four people beside him, Zhou Xuantong didn't understand, "You guys are so strange." β
β......β
"Say, what's the matter with me?" Looking at Wu Zixin, Zhou Xuantong said directly, "As I said before, with me in the future, there is no need to die alone." β
"How did you know that I came to you, and you're too confident, right?" Wu Zixin twitched the corners of her mouth and sneered.
"That's it!" Zhou Xuantong nodded, no longer answered, picked up the chopsticks and started eating.
The scene was very embarrassing for a while, except for Zhou Xuantong, the others were motionless, only the sound of him chewing.
After half a ring, Wu Zixin finally couldn't help it: "Zhou Xuantong, are you so hungry?"
"yes. β
"You ......" Zhou Xuantong replied cleanly, directly choking Wu Zixin half to death.
"Okay, Tong'er, don't make trouble. Seeing this, Zhou Boyi opened his mouth and persuaded him in the middle, "Your Majesty, when you leave the palace this time, I'm afraid there must be something important, so let's say it earlier." β
"Hmph, for Grandpa Zhou's sake, I don't care about you. β
Wu Zixin didn't know that in Zhou Xuantong's opinion, her words were a little playful in addition to being angry.
"Dead girl......" Although he muttered in his heart, Zhou Xuantong still raised his head seriously and looked at Wu Zixin.
As grandpa said, Wu Zixin must have something important to do when he came out of the palace to the Zhou Mansion.
And, it happened suddenly.
Otherwise, when they met in the palace, they would have explained it to themselves.
Restraining the emotions in her heart, Wu Zixin recounted her intentions: "Help refine armaments, as much as you can." β
"Refining armaments?" Zhou Xuantong's eyes condensed slightly, and he immediately felt that something was wrong.
The blade armor used by the army is generally a standard spiritual weapon, and when refining, there is a fixed template, which is very fast and difficult, and the quality is stable.
The Refining Mansion has a fixed task every year, replenishing the armament stockpile, and regularly maintaining and maintaining it.
Unless there is a big war and the loss is huge, it will be necessary to rush to refine and replenish the gap.
But Wu Zixin actually found himself to help refine armaments, and how much else counted.
"Arsenal, what's wrong?" After a moment of silence, Zhou Xuantong asked directly.
In this regard, Wu Zixin sighed lightly and nodded: "Eighty percent armament...... but it is broken. β
As she said this, her fists clenched, almost pinching into the flesh, and her fingertips turned white.
"How can this be!" Bian Zhou Boyi gasped.
Eighty percent of armaments are destroyed, what is that concept?
If there is another war with the Shengyuan Dynasty, excluding the Imperial Protector Army of the national capital and the basic garrisons in various places, the Tiansheng Army can gather a maximum of 400,000 troops.
The loss of spiritual weapons in the Great War was very huge, so the arsenal was equipped with 1.2 million sets for replacement.
1.2 million sets, but from the time of Emperor Tiansheng Yuan, it has been a full ten years now, and it has finally been accumulated.
Eighty percent of them were damaged, and almost 960,000 sets were useless.
"The degree of damage is ......"
The four words "Spirit Weapon Bone Crack!" were almost squeezed out of Wu Zixin's teeth.
On the side of Zhou Boyi, his heart had sunk to the bottom, and his face was pale.
Most of the armaments of the Tiansheng Dynasty are first-class spiritual weapons, and if they are damaged, it is not difficult to repair them.
But if the bone is cracked, it is completely scrapped.
Once at this time, the Shengyuan Dynasty attacked, and the consequences were unimaginable.
Wu Zixin had already ordered the Refining Weapon Mansion to make every effort to catch up with it, and at the same time block the news.
But she also understood that the news could never be completely blocked, and the Sheng Yuan Dynasty would know the situation sooner or later.
A huge crisis.
"Didn't you find a problem in the past?" Zhou Yi on the side couldn't help but speak as he listened.
On the other side, Zhang Yan spoke: "Yesterday's inspection, it was still intact, but the problem was found today." It seems that overnight, eighty percent of the armament will be scrapped with broken bones. β
"The cause is being investigated in secret. β
"Cha Li Mansion. At this moment, the corners of Zhou Xuantong's mouth curled, and he suddenly spoke, "In this case, the Li family, who is in charge of the Refining Mansion, is the most suspicious. β
"Gongzi Zhou, maybe come back, you heard some rumors about the Li family's son, so you are hostile to him. At this time, Zhang Yan couldn't help frowning, "But you must know that the Li family is the mainstay in the Tiansheng Dynasty. β
"Four years ago, I left a book and left home, where did I find that letter, grandfather. Zhou Xuantong suddenly had no head and no brain, and asked Zhou Boyi.
Zhou Boyi was stunned for a moment, and then said, "In the robe you took off, how can you mention this?"
"If you care, you only care about where I am, and you forget what is in front of you. In addition, those changes have happened in the back, so that you have no time to take care of them. Speaking of this, Zhou Xuantong suddenly asked, "What do you do with leaving books on the table and putting them in your robe?"
"Gongzi Zhou, what have you done yourself, ask us what to do?" Zhang Yan shook his head, feeling that Zhou Xuantong was unreasonable.
But after she finished speaking, she found that His Majesty did not make the slightest movement, including the prime minister and the housekeeper of the Bian Zhou Mansion, all of whom had changed their faces.
Then, she came to her senses.
That's right, why not put it on the table?
The so-called night before leaving home, Li Ziyang held a banquet and talked about getting together before getting married. β
He also mentioned that he went to the southern suburbs of the Sword Cliff to find him the next day. β
"I forgot how I got drunk that day, but I still remember the agreement with him. β
Hearing this, Zhou Boyi's hands couldn't help but tremble.
Bian Zhou Yi couldn't help but speak: "I remember, I remember, it was Li Ziyang who helped the little young master back." β
The little young master vomited, but Li Ziyang helped clean it up. β
When Zhou Xuantong heard this, he hurriedly raised his index finger: "Tsk, it's amazing, when you help me clean up, stuff the letter into your robe by the way." I vomited, and I won't wear it to my appointment the next day. β
"It's so calculating, no wonder I was knocked off the cliff with one palm, so fearless, the original arrangement was proper. β
Bang!
Zhou Boyi was furious, slammed the table and stood up: "What a little brute!"
On the other side, Wu Zixin was also frosty, and stood up: "Li family, hum!"
After speaking, Wu Zixin turned around and walked towards the courtyard.
"Why are you going?"
"Destroy the Li family!" Wu Zixin didn't look back, murderous.
"What do you think, do you know what you will plan, and it will be useful to keep it for now. Zhou Xuantong hugged Wu Zixin's waist, dragged her back, and sat down, "Now, the first problem to be solved is the arsenal." β
"Master, you take the opportunity to rub oil again. β
"Nonsense, what is the name of his fiancΓ©e. Zhou Xuantong said in his heart, righteously, "This is called a hug of love." β
"It's worthy of the master, what he said is so reasonable, I don't know how to refute you at all. β
