"Zheng—"
There was a sound of breaking wind, and a flash of golden light flashed by. When I looked intently, the short arrow more than five inches long had been deeply nailed into the wall.
A tall man with a small crossbow strolled over. He was wearing a purple-breasted long gown with wide sleeves and a narrow waist, a belt with a rhinoceros inlaid with eight treasures on his thick waist, and a pair of royal boots with silk patterns on his feet. She is dignified, with a playful expression on her beautiful face, "Hey, the shot is quite deep!"
During the teasing, the slender fingers had already grasped the short arrow on the wall, and with a little force, the short arrow on the wall had been pulled out with a 'swipe'.
Not far away, the thin old man bowed his head and looked down, his shrewd eyes were full of obedience, but he was the old man in the blacksmith's shop.
"Master, my subordinates got this thing by accident. After making it, they rushed to present it to the master day and night. Although the range of this crossbow is not as good as that of a bow and arrow, it is easy to carry and shoots arrows quickly. The master may use it."
The man revered as his master turned around, sat down on the high-backed rosewood chair in a leisurely manner, and said in a low voice, "Although it is useless, it is not useless. It can be built in the same way, and the people below will hold it together. in case for need."
"Yes, this subordinate will go and order." Seeing that what he offered was useful, the old man was overjoyed, and thought that good things come in pairs, so he said again: "This subordinate also brought something, which was also designed by this person." , wanting to dedicate it to the master.”
As he spoke, he opened the package under his feet, revealing a yellow copper pot.
It is said to be a pot, but it is different from common pots. This pot has two ears on the outer wall, a furnace barrel in the middle, and a huge base underneath. At first glance, it is somewhat similar to a sacrificial tripod. It's just much smaller than a tripod, but I don't know what it's used for.
"What is this?"
The man's long and narrow eyes stared at the copper pot on the ground, with a bit of scrutiny between his brows and eyes.
The old blacksmith clasped his hands and said: "If you go back to the master, this is called a hot pot. The tube in the middle is for the charcoal fire. When the charcoal fire is heated up, you can cook meat, vegetables, and soup in the pot. In this cold winter and lunar month, eat This pot is the best, and the little girl said, you have to dip it in..."
"You mean, this pot and this crossbow were designed by a little girl?" The man on the seat interrupted him, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his expression was unclear.
The old blacksmith cupped his hands and said, "Return to master, that's right!"
"Heh, that's interesting!" The man leaned back and tapped his slender fingers on the table, as if he was thinking.
Buckle buckle...
This is the master's habitual action when thinking, and everyone under him is familiar with it.
a moment later—
"Luo Tong, go get Luo Cheng!"
"yes!"
Luo Tong clasped his fists and bowed, and left respectfully.
The old blacksmith wondered, Luo Cheng is the master's attendant, he should always be with the master, why he disappeared today, if Xiu Mu, he would be summoned, why is it 'nong'
Shaoqing, Luo Cheng came in, and all doubts were resolved.
Luo Cheng was brought in by Luo Tong, his face was pale, he looked haggard, and he was still limping when he walked.
He is a master by the side of the master, the idler can't hurt him, only the master can hurt him like this.
"Master, did you call me?"
Luo Cheng knelt down, and when he knelt down, there was a faint look of pain on his face.
The hundred army sticks are not just for jokes, that is to say, he has a strong body and a good foundation, so he can barely hold on. Otherwise, if the hundred sticks go down, an ordinary person would have died long ago, so there is no chance to kneel in front of the master and speak
However, he didn't blame the master for punishing him, it was because he underestimated the enemy carelessly, he couldn't even fight a small country girl, and he was placed together as the master's left and right arms. Such negligence cannot be forgiven. Fortunately, I was alone, if such negligence occurred when protecting the master, then he really deserved to die!
"Are you right, are you alone?" The man in the high position took a sip of tea and motioned for them to check.
Luo Cheng looked at the old man with doubts on his face, "Lu Tieshou, who does the master want us to treat?"
Lu Tieshou said: "Today, Lu came here to present a crossbow and a copper pot to the master. This crossbow and copper pot were custom-made by a country girl who came to my shop. The master said that it should be this country girl. gone."
Hearing this, Luo Cheng's face became even paler, and he almost gritted his teeth and asked, "Is that girl you saw born skinny, with thin yellow hair, wearing a pink dress, and not tall."
Lu Tieshou nodded: "Exactly, but although the little girl is not good-looking, she is very clever. What's the matter? Guard Luo has seen her too?"
Luo Cheng gritted his teeth, "I've seen it!"
Not only has he seen it before, the reason why he, Luo Cheng, received all these sticks was thanks to her. In this life, he has remembered her, and he will remember her unforgettable!
Hearing this, the man on the Arhat couch curled his lips, and there was a bit of glamour in his sharp eyes.
Interestingly, a country girl can not only compose stunningly talented poems, but also design exquisite crossbows and hot pots, and can easily knock down his guards. It doesn't look easy!
"Master, that girl has already made an appointment with my subordinate. She will come to my shop to pick up the goods tomorrow. Can my subordinate bring her here to meet the master?"
Although Lu Tieshou didn't know what happened between Luo Cheng and that girl, but seeing the master's expression, he knew that the master was interested in that girl.
Of course, he was only interested in that girl's brain, not for anyone else.
The master is the direct son of the first emperor, and the younger brother of the current emperor, who has an unparalleled status. He was named King Zhan at a young age, guarding the northern border of the Chu State, and it can be said that he loves him extremely. Although he is domineering, tough and moody, but because of his high status and good skin, there are still many famous ladies and stunning beauties racking their brains to marry him.
It's a pity that the master always has his eyes above the top, and he didn't take a look at any of the beauties and ladies who were chasing him. He even punished two of the ladies who wanted to use dirty tricks to climb the bed with cruel means. Such a cold face Ruthless, people who don't know how to pity and cherish jade, let alone have other thoughts about a dry country girl!
"No need."
Just as Lu Tieshou was thinking, King Zhan had already opened his mouth coldly. As early as when Luo Tong came back in defeat, he had already sent Yingzhan out to wait for that yellow-haired girl.
A little girl who can knock down his first-class guards and write amazing poems is worthy of his thorough investigation and research...
"Yes, then, this subordinate will retire!"
Lu Tieshou waited to see that there was nothing wrong, then he bowed and retreated wisely.
They have always been very careful in front of the master, because the master has never been a good-tempered, ruthless, moody, and everyone who offends him or provokes him will end well.
