Chapter 274 Giving Gifts
The May sunshine shines into the carriage through the curtains, hitting the two people's faces slantingly. The carriage is very quiet, except for the sound of horse hooves coming from the street outside the window.
Xia Qianqian secretly glanced at the man sitting on the couch. Ever since he entered the General's Mansion, his face had been calm, and he didn't know what happened.
She asked in a low voice: "Where are we going now? Back to Zhuxian Academy?"
"Back to the training camp."
He said four words concisely and concisely, and then fell silent.
What happened to this guy?
I feel like something is wrong with my emotions!
Xia Qianqian asked in a low voice: "Over at Yupin Pavilion, is the oilcloth made?"
"Hmm!"
"Has the frame of the hang glider been built yet?"
"Hmm!"
"So are the test flights going to start today?" There was excitement in her tone.
"Yes"
She asked a series of questions, and he answered with just one word each time.
She fell silent.
Time passes minute by minute.
The atmosphere in the carriage was strangely depressing.
Xia Qianqian observed the words and asked, "Since everything is going well, you seem unhappy?"
Ji Zimo looked back at her, "I'm not unhappy."
As long as she cares about him, she will not give gifts to others in front of him.
He turned his head silently, with a straight face, and just wanted to be alone.
Xia Qianqian couldn't help but smile when she thought carefully about the time period when his face changed.
This man is arrogant and coquettish.
Isn’t it just a small gift?
She thought for a while, gestured to reach into the cross-body bag she carried with her, but actually took out something from the Ruyi bracelet and handed it over, "How about taking a look at this?"
Ji Zimo's indifferent gaze fell on the dark thing in her hand, "What is this?"
"This is Xiujian, also known as Tiannv Sanhua. Just wait, I will demonstrate it to you."
Xia Qianqian opened the curtain and called out, "Guard Geng, stop the carriage to the side of the road."
Xia Qianqian jumped off the carriage and looked up at the horizontal plaque on the door of the training camp in the distance.
"You think, can I hit it?"
She pointed to the door plaque.
The distance from here to the door plaque is about sixty feet, completely beyond the range of ordinary arrows.
Ji Zimo looked at the sleeve arrow in her hand without saying a word.
Geng Zhong, who was on the side, came over to take a look and said with certainty, "We will definitely hit the door plaque."
Everything that comes from Miss Xia's hands is never bad.
Xia Qianqian shook her head and said firmly: "I'm not talking about the door plaque, I'm talking about the sparrow on the persimmon tree behind the door plaque.
What?
Not only did she challenge the impossible distance, but she also wanted to shoot a living creature?
Is this thing so amazing?
Geng Zhong hesitated.
Ji Zimo looked at her with a deeper look.
"Come and give it a try!"
Xia Qianqian grabbed Ji Zimo's right hand and put the cuff on his wrist with her own hands. "Look, this point in the cuff serves as an aiming function. The shooting target must be in a straight line with it."
"After you take aim, press this button. Press once for a concealed weapon and twice for multiple launches."
"Come on, come and give it a try."
As she spoke, she gently raised his hand, aimed at a bird that fell on the branch, and said attentively: "Shoot."
She held his hand and gently pressed the button.
"Whoosh", after a faint sound breaking through the air, there was a flurry of fluttering among the treetops in front, and then a sparrow fell vertically from the treetops to the ground.
Geng Zhong's eyes flashed with surprise.
Ji Zimo was also shocked.
Xia Qianqian on the side didn't notice it at all, and showed off: "Look, how does it feel? Isn't it amazing?"
"Is it very powerful?" Ji Zimo didn't expect that not only was she excellent in medical skills, she was also so good at making hidden weapons.
After all, what is it that she can’t do?
"Give it to you!"
Xia Qianqian carefully helped him cover the protective cover of his cuffs, and said seriously: "You are nominally the son of a merchant, but you go in and out of the military training camp and the general's mansion all day long, so you can't avoid arousing suspicion."
"You took the risk of living in Fu'an Village again. Those people you dealt with must hate you. If they attack you, how will you protect yourself?"
As she spoke, she looked worried, "For this reason, I can't sleep at night. When I think of Cao Ran being injured by a hidden weapon and almost meeting the King of Hell, I'm really afraid that you will also encounter a crisis."
The more she spoke, the heavier her tone became, and she pouted uncomfortably: "So, I searched everywhere for books about hidden weapons, meditated cleverly, and spent a lot of effort to create this sleeve arrow."
"As long as you wear it, you can bring it down immediately even if the dangerous person is far away."
As soon as she talked about her invention and manufacturing, her eyebrows shone with wisdom, "My hidden weapon is a silver needle. What I just applied was a general anesthetic. Of course, you can also use poison together."
She said, reaching out and patting his shoulder, "Don't worry, I'm working on the recipe for the poison. You can choose whether you want to seal your throat with a sword, kill yourself immediately, or bleed to death from your seven orifices."

When she spoke, her eyebrows were raised and she looked extremely proud.
She was worried about his safety and made this thing for him personally.
It is much more expensive than the small dagger you bought at a stall for ten cents.
A silent and depressed heart becomes alive again.
"Since you want to give me something, why are you taking it out now?" He felt uncomfortable for a while.
Xia Qianqian laughed dumbly, "I just feel that those poisons are not fully equipped yet, so taking them out like this seems a bit imperfect."
"I like it very much!" he said sincerely.
"As long as you like it!" Xia Qianqian tilted her head and breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.
Not far away, the door of the training camp suddenly opened, and a group of soldiers ran out with swords in their hands.
Xia Qianqian jumped up and hid behind Ji Zimo, saying angrily: "Oh no, the sparrow must have fallen to the ground and been discovered by the officers and soldiers."
She took a look and saw that she was still dressed as a woman. How would she justify herself when someone saw her?
"I'm going to change my clothes."
She quickly climbed into the carriage on her hands and knees.
After a while, Xue Bing ran over with a group of soldiers. When he saw Ji Zimo, he took back his sword and cupped his hand, "Mr. Mo, did you see anyone passing by when you came?"
Ji Zimo looked as normal and said calmly: "What's the matter?"
Xue Tou opened his palms, and in his palms there was a sparrow flapping its wings, but it was still unable to fly. "Just now, the sparrow on the treetop fell. My subordinates checked it and found that it had a hidden weapon on it."
As he spoke, he held a silver needle in his fingers and said with alert eyes: "This hidden weapon can hit sparrows, and it can also hit others. It is very dangerous."
Ji Zimo took the silver needle, put it away, and said calmly: "I tried the hidden weapon given by others and disturbed Xue Tou."
