Miss Almighty

Chapter 40 The Baby Bought at a Cheap Price

Rong Lie took the crossbow, but felt that it was slightly heavy in his hands, the body of the crossbow was made of hard wood, the bow was made of refined iron, it was dark and glowed with a cold light, the string of the crossbow was made of animal tendons.There are three shooting arrow slots carved on the body of the crossbow. The front end is connected to a movable support frame, and the tail end is connected to the crossbow machine. Aiming at the scale, greatly improving the accuracy, the bottom is the hanging knife.

Because there are three arrow slots, one to three arrows can be fired at a time. Yue Changdong explained the usage to Rong Lie, and then took out three more arrows to Rong Lie.Rong Lie excitedly took the arrow, stretched the string, loaded the arrow, went outside, aimed at the target in the distance, squinted his eyes to aim.

Pulling the hanging knife with his fingers, three arrows roared and flew out, and were respectively nailed to three arrow targets a hundred steps away.

Yue Changdong said: "Your Majesty, there are also Kicking Crossbows and Waist Tensioning Crossbows here. The shooting range is farther than the Arm Tensioning Crossbows, and the accuracy is higher than bows and arrows. Even recruits who have never used a bow before, once equipped with this kind of crossbows, You can also become a sharpshooter!"

"Yue Changdong, you've done a good job!" Rong Lie laughed loudly, "If the barbarians dare to invade our Anling again this year, then we must let them never come back! Never dare to bully the people of Anling again !"

"Yes, my lord! The grassroots must do their best!" Yue Changdong also seemed very excited. He has been interested in weapons since he was a child, and he hates those barbarians who burned, killed and looted. Now that his knowledge can be used, he is happier than anyone else!
"Father." Rong Xi came over and looked at the crossbow in Rong Lie's hand, "If there are more weapons like this, I, Anling, won't have to kill or injure so many people every year."

"Yes." Rong Lie sighed, "Xi'er, when these batches come out, you will personally send them to your Uncle Ji who is guarding Dashengguan. Your Uncle Ji and his family are guarding Anling's comfort. Dashengguan, I can't help him as a father!"

"Father, don't worry, the child understands."

"When the time comes, I'll bring you some food for Uncle Ji. Their family lives in Dashengguan, and they can't eat any good food all year round, hey." Thinking of the good brothers who were born and died in the past, Rong Lie sighed again, "You Go and ask your Uncle Ji if you want to take Ming'er to live in the palace, the conditions in Dashengguan are too bad, she lives there as a baby, hey."

"Boy, I know, why don't you ask sister Qianhua again, she has the most ideas, and see if she has any good ideas."

Rong Lie nodded after thinking about it. "Alright, you can go now."

Minghua Academy.

"What did you say? Dashengguan?" Su Qianhua was practicing calligraphy, and raised her head in surprise after hearing Rong Xi's words, "Since the conditions are so poor, why don't you take the little girl here?"

"I think so too, but Uncle Ji always disagrees." Rong Xi sighed.

"Why?" Su Qianhua wondered, is there anyone who doesn't cherish his daughter these days?

"It was winter when Aunt Ji gave birth to Ming'er, and the barbarians from the north came to fight. Uncle Ji led people to fight on the battlefield. The conditions were harsh at that time. Aunt Ji died of dystocia after giving birth to Ming'er. Uncle Ji hated the barbarians in the north for this. , and I don't want Ming'er to leave my side."

Su Qianhua was silent. It's really hard to say such a thing. You can't separate father and daughter, right?
Rong Xi obviously thought of this too, just sighed and said: "Father asked me to bring some food for Uncle Ji. I know Uncle Ji's character very well. He always rushes to the front when fighting. He will eat whatever the soldiers under him eat, if you bring him some food, it will make Uncle Ji difficult, so I want to ask you if there is any way?"

What can she do?You can't let father and daughter separate, can you?Su Qianhua thought about it, and finally proposed. "How about, how many cooks do you bring?" Anyway, the training of the first batch of cooks has already achieved initial results, so I'm not afraid that we won't be able to assign them.

Rong Xi thought about it, and felt that there was no other way, so he could only say: "That's the only way."

As soon as she finished speaking, Cuibi hurried in. "Miss, Mr. Chen is here, he is waiting in the living room, he said he wants to see Miss."

"He's back?" Su Qianhua looked up in surprise, put down the brush in his hand, and went out after cleaning his hands. Rong Xi hurriedly followed, and asked, "Which Mr. Chen? It's Chen Shan?"

"Yeah." Su Qianhua nodded, "Didn't he come back last time and ask me to give him an errand? I'll ask him to go to the south to help me find a tree."

"What kind of tree? Are you going to the south to look for it? Is it important?" Rong Xi asked immediately, thinking that Chen Shan would come back and ask Su Qianhua for an errand, so he felt amused.Originally Rong Lie asked him to manage the Fulai Inn with the intention of letting him have a good rest, but this person was so restless that when he heard about Anling City, he didn't want to stop for even a moment and rushed back to look for Su Qianhua.

"Basically, anyway, I'm useful." Su Qianhua was a little guilty. What she asked Chen Shan to find was the rubber tree. At this time, rubber was not used. The tree was completely out of her own selfishness. Last time, she sat down quickly During the one-month carriage, Su Qianhua was extremely bumpy, so he wanted to find a rubber tree to make rubber and improve the wheels.

Because it was out of selfishness, Su Qianhua was a little reluctant to say it out, but just nodded and dealt with it vaguely. Just then, the living room also arrived, and Rong Xi didn't continue to ask.

When he entered the living room, he saw Chen Shan sitting on a chair, holding a bowl of tea and sipping sips. When he saw Su Qianhua and Rong Xi, he quickly stood up and saluted with a smile. "This subordinate has met the Eldest Young Master, Eldest Miss."

"Sit down quickly, there is no need to be polite at home." Rong Xi said lightly, with a slight smile on his face, sat down with Su Qianhua, and asked: "Chen Shan, I heard that sister Qianhua asked you to go to the south to look for trees. Is this found?"

As soon as Chen Shan heard Rong Xi's question about the rubber tree, he smiled even more happily, and his eyes narrowed into a slit. "Back to Eldest Young Master, everything that Eldest Miss told her subordinates to do has been done, Eldest Miss, this is the title deed."

As Chen Shan spoke, he took out a piece of silk cloth from his body and unfolded it. Many words were densely written on the cloth. The most eye-catching one was a square red seal. Su Qianhua took it over and took a look, only to find that it was a title deed named Shazishan. Can't help looking at Chen Shan curiously, she asked Chen Shan to find the tree, what did Chen Shan bring her back with a land deed?
Seeing that she was puzzled, Chen Shan quickly explained with a smile: "Miss Hui, tell me what rubber tree you found. It's on this sandy mountain, and it's all over the mountain. The local people have been chopping it for firewood. The subordinates thought that since the eldest lady wanted this tree, they bought the Shazi Mountain."

"How much money did you spend?" Su Qianhua asked with concern.

"Hey." Chen Shan smiled and stretched out three fingers, "The entire Shazi Mountain was bought for 3000 taels of silver, because the locals thought the trees on the mountain were useless and the mountain was too sandy, so they sold it to their subordinates at a low price. gone."
