Si Jinxing pursed her lips and smiled, knowing that this guy would react like this.
She jumped off Qi Moli's legs, took the crossbow, pulled him up and walked out of the room.
Qi Moli stood in the corridor with his hands behind his back, his back straight, and saw the young woman shoot five arrows in a row in just two breaths!
His eyes lit up, and he strode to the big tree at the gate of the courtyard, looking at the five arrows shot into the tree trunk, and even their positions were almost the same!
He pulled out the arrow and turned to look at the young woman standing on the porch.
I saw her carrying the bow on her shoulder with one hand and her other hand on her waist, with a smug smile on her face, looking at me with burning eyes.
The afternoon sun shone through the branches onto her face.
The halo made her bright smile even softer. She raised her head slightly, looking very proud and arrogant.
Qi Moli felt his heart tighten. How many secrets did this little girl have that he didn't know about?
Could it be that I missed something in the information I found before?
He strode up to the little girl who was full of praise, took her small body into his arms, and praised her:
"Princess, you possess unique skills. You are truly a divine concubine of all time!"
Si Jinxing laughed out loud at his words. Who could have thought that the mighty Nine Yama King would flatter others?
Suddenly, the man said solemnly, "Xingxing, this bow, where did you get it from?"
Si Jinxing was stunned when she heard this. She only wanted to help Qi Moli solve his urgent problem.
I forgot, how could the original owner, a young lady from a secluded place, study this weapon?
She slapped her forehead and said:
"There's a forest not far from my villa in the suburbs of Beijing. By chance, I met a hunter. He saw that I was interested in this thing, so he gave it to me."
Poor rhetoric!
Qi Moli's deep eyes held a hint of smile, and he did not miss the flash of panic in the little girl's eyes, but he did not expose her, and only said:
"Xingxing, this divine bow, can it be mass-produced?"
Seeing that he didn't continue to ask questions, Si Jinxing breathed a sigh of relief and quickly replied:
"Of course it is possible, but the structure of this crossbow is very sophisticated, so it will take longer.
The arrows are also different from the previous ones. They are copper-headed iron arrows, which are more lethal. Not only does it take longer, but the cost is doubled!"
Qi Moli shook his head, his sword-like brows relaxed, and said:
"Compared to the lives of our soldiers, these expenses are nothing!
If the army has a bow and crossbow like yours, it will be the life-saving talisman of my Longyin soldiers!
I'm going to the palace right now. Would you be willing to go with me to the Western Suburbs Camp tomorrow?"
Si Jinxing's eyes lit up. She missed her life in the army in her previous life, but could women enter and leave this ancient military camp freely?
"Can I really go?"
Qi Moli curled up the corners of his lips. He originally thought that women didn't like places like military camps, which were full of rough and uncouth men!
His little girl is really nothing like those pretentious and vulgar women in the capital!
He couldn't help but stroke the little girl's soft hair and said:
"Of course. The morale of the right-wing cavalry is low right now. Your crossbows will surely boost their spirits!"
Si Jinxing raised her head, her eyes sparkling, and smiled, "Okay, I'll go with you!"
Qi Moli looked at the playful little girl in front of him and was reluctant to leave. However, thinking that the crossbow was of great importance, he could only reach out and hold her soft little hand, saying:
"Then I'll pick you up tomorrow morning."
"Okay." Si Jinxing nodded. She really wanted to see how the soldiers trained today.
After seeing Qi Moli off, Si Jinxing finished drawing the unfinished crossbow design, and the sky was getting dark.
She went to the clinic to check on Yan Fei, who was still unconscious, changed her medicine, and then left the room.
Bai Xi followed her into his room and said:
"Princess, Princess Rui went to Minister Zhou's residence three days ago."
That Zhou Song is quick enough!
Si Jinxing didn't want Zhou or Si Jinyue to die. It would be too easy for them if they died casually.
But Zhou Song wanted him to taste the consequences of offending his aunt!
She turned to look at Bai Xi and said, "Do you know where Zhou Song's residence is?"
Bai Xi was stunned, not knowing what his princess meant, but he nodded and said, "Of course I recognize her."
"Then take me there tonight." Si Jinxing's lips curled up, with a determined smile on her face.
Bai Xi thought that his princess was going to kill someone in the dark of night...
But he also felt it was natural, because his princess was never the one who suffered losses!
"Princess, I can go alone for this matter. You just wait for news at home."
Si Jinxing shook her head, but didn't explain. She just said, "Listen to me. At 11:30 tonight, we'll go together."
Bai Xi said no more. The princess had her own ideas, and he just needed to protect her.
Heyunyuan.
"That Zhou bastard has truly brought shame to the General's Mansion today!
I really regret it! Why did I help her get to the top in the first place? "The old lady was angry all day, but she still couldn't let go of the anger that was pent up in her heart!
Mother Lu poured a cup of tea, handed it over, and said:
"It seems that the Second Miss was right to bring her down that day."
The old lady held the teacup, thought for a moment, and said:
"Speaking of the second girl, I always feel that there is something strange about her. After she came back, the mansion has been in trouble every day. Could it be that she really is unlucky for us?"
Mother Lu interrupted her in time and said:
"After the second young lady came back, something happened in the mansion.
But everything is fine in our courtyard and with Concubine Wen. Only Concubine Zhou's room is in trouble, not the entire General's Mansion!"
The old lady finally calmed down and said:
"If Zhou is really forced to become a concubine, how will the eldest daughter survive in the future? And what about Hao'er..."
Before she finished speaking, a voice came from outside the door: "Madam is here."
Zhou came in with a haggard face, her face wet with tears. She knelt in front of the old lady and begged:
"Mother, I know I was wrong.
Now I don’t have any extravagant hopes for the position of mistress, I just want to avoid being a drag on Yue’er and the others.
You also know that if I were a concubine, Yue'er would not be able to hold her head up in the palace!
My wife only wants to keep the title of mistress, but I am willing to go to Linxiang Temple and spend my days in front of the green lamp and ancient Buddha, so that I can burn incense and pray for blessings for the general's mansion every day.
Ask Mother for your blessing."
Zhou seemed to have lost a lot of weight recently. The green dress made her look a little fat.
The old lady couldn't help but think about the suffering Zhou had endured in recent days. Seeing her humble attitude now, she felt a sense of superiority in her heart and said:
"You are very thoughtful. What mother doesn't think about her children?
Well, I will tell the general tomorrow that if I go to Linxiang Temple, I will bring my daughters with me.
After this, no one will know about this matter, and it will save your face."
Upon hearing this, Zhou endured the pain on her face, thanked him, bowed her head, and returned to Lihua Garden.
What she didn't know was that her elder brother, Zhou Song, Minister Zhou, had been targeted by someone.
