Chapter 567: This Friendship
After a tiring day, Yang Ruo had just left the palace and was about to go back, Chen Xu was already standing on the side of the road waiting for her.
"Ah Xu, why are you here?" Yang Ruo hadn't been back for a few days because he was busy with Concubine Ming's birthday, but he didn't expect to be caught by Chen Xu as soon as he left the palace today.
Chen Xu had a shy smile on his face, and the breeze gently blew his hair, giving his face a charming masculine beauty.
Spicy eyes.
Yang Ruo retracted his gaze and walked side by side with him.
"I actually have something to tell you, don't mind, let's go have a cup of tea."
It seems that Chen Xu has something to say to her.
Yang Ruo looked at one and saw a small teahouse in front of him, so he said, "That's it." ”
The two then walked into the teahouse together.
After entering, the shopkeeper knew that Yang Ruo had come out of the palace, and his expression was also extremely respectful.
"What do this little aunt and son want to drink?"
"Give me a glass of Longjing, give her a glass of juice."
Since Yang Ruo came to Kyoto, fruit juice has also become a fashion here, and some more avant-garde teahouses have added some new tricks, but the taste is not as good as her own concoction.
"Okay, you two wait." Above the slightly empty teahouse, the high-pitched voice of the shopkeeper echoed.
"Say, what's the matter, so anxious."
"I want to go to the front."
"Are you crazy?" Yang Ruo couldn't help frowning and said, "Don't you want to die?" Not to mention that it didn't take long for your legs to heal. ”
"I've already asked Lord Shen, the front line is in a hurry to ask the Ministry of Industry to send a group of people to repair the ship these days. I think what I've learned might be able to help a little bit. ”
"Didn't you go to death when you went over like this? I disagree. ”
Seeing that Yang Ruo's attitude was very resolute, Chen Xu had to have a showdown with her. "Ah Ruo, in fact, I did this, don't you know for whom? He fought very the front line, and fighting on the water was precisely the weakness of our soldiers in the country. This time, the little marquis has suffered a lot. ”
Yang Ruo didn't expect Chen Xu to be for himself, so he thought about helping Gongsun Jin.
As if in order to dispel Yang Ruo's doubts, Chen Xu suddenly took out something from his arms and handed it to Yang Ruo.
"Just look at this."
Yang Ruo was suspicious and opened the drawings that Chen Xu handed over to him. After looking at it for a while, her eyes couldn't help but light up. He asked softly, "You painted it, and you're going to dedicate this to him." You seem to be even more powerful than Archie's chain crossbow. ”
When Wang Qi led his troops to attack the Khitan, he relied on the surprise soldiers, and the other reason was the chain crossbow he built.
This time, the drawings in Chen Xu's hand were indeed long crossbows, specifically for long-range ones, and they were also six consecutive shots.
Genius, this person is really a genius.
Seeing that his eyes were a little red, it must have been the past few days, staying up late, Yang Ruo couldn't help but feel an inexplicable feeling in his heart.
"I have carefully inquired that our ships are not bad, and we will suffer because we are not familiar with the terrain, or if our weapons are inferior to others. I think if our soldiers had this weapon, they would definitely be able to hit a Dora soldier by surprise. ”
"But it will take a long time for your long crossbow to be built."
Knowing that Yang Ruo had doubts in his heart, Chen Xu immediately took out a large pile of sticks and sticks from his pocket.
"It's simple, I'm all set. You watch. ”
Chen Xu next performed for Yang Ruo.
Seeing such skillful and dexterous movements in his hands, Yang Ruo's mind suddenly flashed to the scene when he had seen those special forces assemble guns at the fastest speed. Chen Xu, I should really take you to modern times to see, if you come into contact with those things, I don't know what kind of whimsical ideas will come to mind.
"Alright." Just as Yang Ruo pondered for a moment, he saw that Chen Xu had already installed a long crossbow in his hand. There are a total of six crossbow holes, just like six eyes, and Sen looked at Yang Ruo with a solemn expression.
Yang Ruo played with it for a while, heard the footsteps outside, and immediately put away the long crossbow.
Here, if you make weapons without permission, you will also be arrested.
Chen Xu dismantled these things into small wooden blocks with the third or two clicks, and the speed was surprisingly terrifying.
"I tried the range, and I shot a hare three feet away." After Chen Xu finished speaking, he also took out a bloody arrow feather to show Yang Ruo.
The short arrows he made are not long, they are indeed extraordinarily exquisite, and they are all made of pure steel.
This man is indeed a natural weaponist. It is really not easy for him to do this in such a short period of time.
"I've built a hundred short arrows, because I'm afraid they're too eye-catching."
"Did Shen Mu also help you? Hmph, you guys are hiding such a big thing from me. As soon as she saw Chen Xu's eyes, she knew. Otherwise, Chen Xu alone would not be able to turn over such a big bubble.
"I'm not having a showdown with you, we're trying to help you. Besides, as hot-blooded men in the country, we should do our best when the country is in danger. Chen Xu didn't expect that Yang Ruo would be angry, and couldn't help but explain in a whisper.
Unexpectedly, Yang Ruo burst into tears and laughed later.
"Hmph, I've done everything, and I'm still pretending to explain. However, for the sake of me, I forgive you. Did you really decide to go? ”
"Well, I'll leave early tomorrow morning."
Yang Ruozhao beckoned to the shopkeeper who was about to bring them tea, "Trouble brother, bring us a bottle of wine." ”
The shopkeeper looked stunned at first, and after half a sound, he knew that what Yang Ruo said was true, and immediately went to get it.
"Before you leave, I don't have anything to say, I toast you and wish you a triumphant return as soon as possible."
"Well, I will, bring him to you unscathed."
"Hey, what nonsense are you talking about?"
However, when talking about him, Chen Xu clearly saw that Yang Ruo's fair face had a little shy flush.
Chen Xu said in his heart, this little woman still refuses to admit it.
After Yang Ruo and Chen Xu said goodbye, the two went back separately.
And after Yang Ruo thought about it on the road, he turned to a blacksmith shop.
Yang Ruo gestured for a long time, and the old blacksmith knew what Yang Ruo wanted.
It took about two hours for the thing to be ready.
"Girl, look at it, is this it?"
Yang Ruo took that thing from the blacksmith's hand and meowed it on his eyes, as if it was about the same.
"That's right, thank you, Master, this is your reward, you have taken it."
The old blacksmith took a heavy lump from Yang Ruo's hand, which was twenty taels, and his hands trembled in fright.
"Girl, you don't need so much." After the old blacksmith finished speaking, he hurriedly touched his pocket, as if he wanted to find money for Yang Ruo.
"Master, just remember to help me keep it a secret, maybe one day, you will understand."
"But you don't need that much money." What else did the old blacksmith want to say, Yang Ruomiaoman's figure had already gone away.
"It's strange that this girl should give me so much more silver." The old blacksmith muttered to himself.
But he didn't want to stretch out a fat hand from the side and take away the silver ingot in his hand. "You dead old man, you are stupid to strike iron, people have a lot of money, and you don't want the silver you give for free."
----
As soon as it was dawn the next day, Yang Ruo went out. At this time, the people of the Yang family had not yet gotten up.
Only the housekeeper opened the door for Yang Ruo and ordered two servants to help Yang Ruo carry the sedan chair.
"Third Miss, did you go out so early to enter the palace? You haven't even eaten breakfast. Before going to bed last night, Yang Ruo reminded Steward Zhao that she would go out early today.
"Housekeeper, I have something to do, don't tell my father and my mother."
"Oh, stay safe, that young lady." The housekeeper nodded again and again, and then instructed the two subordinates to pay attention to Yang Ruo's safety, and went back.
Yang Ruo waited at the intersection early, and after a while, he saw a team of soldiers and horses passing by.
She saw Shen Mu and Chen Xu at a glance.
Yang Ruo immediately got out of the carriage and beckoned to the two.
"Wait a minute." Shen Mu commanded, and the generals on the side obviously bought Shen Mu's face, nodded and then ordered: "Everyone rest in place for a while, and then set off." ”
"Aruo, why are you here?" It was Shen Mu who asked.
But I saw Yang Ruo wearing a purple palace skirt, standing far away by the sedan chair, the wind gently blowing her skirt and black hair, beautiful as the most delicate hyacinth in the wind.
"I want to send them." As Yang Ruo spoke, he immediately raised the thing in his hand.
"What is this?" Chen Xu saw Yang Ruo handing him a small package, and his heart was moved, thinking that she had brought something for himself.
After half a ring, I saw Yang Ruo's expression a little twisted, "You give him this, and he will know how to use it when he sees it." I don't have anything to help him, you can help me with a word, just say I believe in him. ”
Chen Xu and Shen Mu were stunned by Yang Ruo's dumb riddle, and after half a ring, they understood who he was in Yang Ruo's mouth.
"Okay, I'll get you across." Chen Xu replied.
"Thank you, in addition, you should also pay attention to your own safety, and when it is dangerous, you must not be reckless. I hope you all come back safely. ”
"Let's go, hurry up." There's already someone urging over there.
Chen Xu held the burden handed to him by Yang Ruo in his arms, feeling hard and a little heavy.
"I'm leaving, Ah Ruo, Shen Gongzi, you all promise."
"Yes, take care."
Until Chen Xu and their convoy went far away, Yang Ruo was still watching them go away.
At this time, Shen Mu shook his hand in front of Yang Ruo, and then said. "Go far!"
Yang Ruo came back to his senses and said, "I know they are far away, let's go back too." ”
Shen Mu couldn't help but darken his face, how could this woman's face change so quickly.
"By the way, I haven't had breakfast yet, so why don't you eat with me." When Shen Mu looked at Yang Ruo, there was a bit of expectation in his eyes.
"No, Master Shen, I still have a lot of things to do."
Seeing Yang Ruo get into the sedan chair without looking back, Shen Mu immediately protested and said, "You are too uninteresting, how can I not compare to Chen Xu's stinky boy." ”
