Chapter Twenty-Three: Drink the Cup
Ji Qianqing was looking at an exaggerated giant bow in his hand.
The giant bow was made of a strange silver metal, and both flaps were engraved with a black wing, the giant bow was a man's height, but it was not as heavy as her Qingjun sword.
"What is this bow called?" Ji Qianqing asked curiously.
She was secretly summoned into the royal court, and Ji Xia handed her the silver bow with a serious face, and solemnly told her that she must keep it properly.
"The Ten Directions Giant Bow is a weapon I got by accident, it is very powerful, you take it back and keep it for safekeeping, maybe it can play a very crucial role in a time of crisis. Ji Xia explained solemnly.
"This bow is very strange, there is nothing strange on the bow, but when I hold it in my hand, I can clearly feel the terrifying power contained in the bow. ”
Ji Qianqing felt the power on the bow, and a trace of exclamation flashed in her eyes: "This kind of power is so powerful that it makes me tremble, where did you get such a powerful artifact?"
Ji Xia heard Ji Qianqing's admiration, nodded with satisfaction, and asked again, "Can you pull this bow?"
Ji Qianqing subconsciously raised his hand to pluck the bow string, wanting to pull the bow away.
Ji Xia shuddered, and hurriedly stepped forward and patted Ji Qianqing's hand in drawing the bow and said, "Wait, this ten-square bow is special, it can only be used once, and it will be bad if you use it inadvertently." ”
Ji Qianqing put down the giant bow, quietly put Ji Xia's right hand behind him and said, "You can only use it once?"
Ji Xia nodded: "That's right, I gave you this ten-square bow because you are the strongest in cultivation and can pull this bow, and when the war breaks out, you will try to shoot the enemy leader with this sword." ”
Ji Qianqing carefully examined the ten-square bow, and handed the ten-square bow to Ji Xia and said: "Lord, this bow is still kept by you, and you will give it to me when the war breaks out." ”
In Ji Xia's puzzled eyes, she continued to explain: "Such a powerful weapon, if it is not kept well and is pulled away, the consequences are unimaginable, I just saw that the lord of the country can take out the ten-square bow out of thin air, it should be the treasure of the storage left by the lord of the country, it is better to put the ten-square bow into the treasure of the storage and carry it with me, it is much safer than me taking it back and hiding it." ”
"And such a powerful weapon is on the side, but I can't try the power, it's a little itchy. ”
Ji Xia thought about it for a while and found that this was indeed the truth, so he put the Ten Square Bow into the Forbidden Immortal Divine Tree.
Ji Qianqing saw such a huge bow and arrow disappear strangely, and couldn't help asking: "Is this treasure of storage and the ten-square bow left by the previous lord of the country to the lord of the country? ”
Ji Xia looked around mysteriously, and raised his hand to signal Ji Qianqing to approach.
Ji Qianqing thought that Ji Xia was going to share some secrets with him, so she approached Ji Xia and listened attentively, only to hear Ji Xia whisper: "I am walking with a strong wind, and these treasures are naturally given to me by a strong wind." ”
Ji Qianqing's eyebrows straightened, and she stepped on Ji Xia's feet, Ji Xia screamed in pain, and jumped away with her hands on her toes.
"Humph!"
Ji Qianqing snorted coldly, wearing a dark red dress fluttering like a fairy, and turned around and walked to the door.
At this moment, a guard came to report: "Lord, the cistern on the banks of the Haiwen River has been built. ”
The huge cistern had been completed in less than two days, and Ji Xia was once again proud of the pragmatism of the Taicang people.
He stood beside the pool and looked at the huge pool in front of him, which was paved with layers of neat and flat stones, row upon row, and looked full of quaint beauty.
"Open the valve, fill the water!" Lu Zhi, the master of the Craftsman's Mansion, gave an order, and the three Cangshou sergeants slowly pulled the iron chains in their hands, and the embankments on the three waterways were opened, and the water in the Haiwen River was poured into the reservoir, but in the time of a cup of tea, the reservoir was already filled.
"Lord, what is the purpose of this cistern?" Lu Case on the side asked curiously.
Lu Shang Yin also asked: "Earlier, the lord of the country said that this reservoir would become the lifeblood of Taicang, but I don't know what is wonderful about such a reservoir. ”
Ji Xia was also very worried about the effect of the marrow washing spar, he originally wanted to try it beforehand, but he didn't know whether the amount of water was directly related to the effect of the spar, so he kept it on hold.
At this time, on the bank of the Haiwen River, in addition to a large number of Cangshou sergeants stationed on the riverside, there were two ministers, several ministers of Taicang, and four generals of Ji Qianqing and Cangshou.
Ji Xia took a deep breath, walked to the reservoir in the puzzled eyes of everyone, and with a thought, on the Forbidden Immortal Divine Tree in his mind, a black spar the size of a skull suddenly disappeared from the Divine Tree and appeared in Ji Xia's hand.
This black hedron has hundreds of faces, each of which refracts the sun's rays in a strange way, making it look extremely shiny.
Ji Xia picked up the marrow washing spar and threw it into the cistern.
The marrow washing crystal fell into the water, and suddenly a spiritual light flashed in the water, and this spiritual light disappeared in a very short time, and the pool returned to normal again.
Ji Xia was stunned for a moment, and hesitated: "Okay?"
Ji Qianqing and other generals, ministers also saw this spiritual light, and they were also a little shocked in their hearts, they didn't know what the black spar was, but the new lord did have a lot of strange things in his hands, whether it was his flying sword or the gourd that called the soul of the ancestor lord, it was quite surprising.
So they stared at Ji Xia in anticipation, wanting Ji Xia to explain what this spar that he threw into the water was.
Ji Xia coughed lightly and said to Ronglu on the side: "Summons ten Cangshou sergeants to come." ”
Ronglu took the order and left, but in a few dozen breaths, ten tall soldiers came to salute the lord.
Ji Xia nodded, took a water scoop from Lu Case's hand, and the maid presented more than twenty small stone cups.
The young lord himself bowed down and scooped out a full scoop of water from the pool.
He held the scoop of water in his hand steadily, as if he was afraid that the most despicable river water in the Taicang country would be wasted, and poured every small cup attentively and seriously.
The ministers watched Ji Xiade's movements silently, and they were also full of curiosity and anticipation about the water of this unknown pool.
The same is true for Ji Qianqing, she tried to use the spirit yuan to sense whether the pool water contained unusual powers, but to no avail.
The two ordinary maids presented the small cups that had been poured with water from the pool to everyone present, one for each of them, and stood silently aside.
Ji Xia thought for a while, then took the cup from the side and poured it with his own hands, and handed it to the two maids.
The two maids' faces were flushed with excitement, even if the country was too small, there were more than 600,000 people, the young man in front of him was the lord of more than 600,000 people, they were just a maid, the lord poured tea for the maid, how could they not be excited?
They took the cup with trembling hands, only to hear Ji Xia stand up and say, "Today is a big day for my Taicang, maybe our hopes will be shattered." ”
"But it is also possible that Taicang will really have a chance to survive from today, so all the Taicang people present will drink this cup with me!"
