Shen Haolin and Shen Cha walked out of Uncle Yan's yard hand in hand and braved the heavy snow to go to the main courtyard of the Duke's Mansion, which is the courtyard where the old Duke and his wife lived before their death. In this courtyard, there is a It is a very mysterious place, and not many people even know about it, even people from the Duke's Mansion.

Entering the ancestral hall dedicated to the ancestors of the Shen family, Shen Haolin and Shen Cha respectfully kowtowed to the tablets of their ancestors, lit incense, then turned around the memorial tablets and came to the ancestral hall through a secret passage. Back door. When you open the back door, you enter another courtyard, as if you are in another world.

This courtyard looks deserted and unpopular, but in fact it should be the most tightly guarded place in the entire Zhenguo Palace. Once an outsider enters, they will definitely die.

Although this courtyard is very large, it has only one room, or rather only one warehouse, which is the legendary Duke's Mansion Armory that houses hundreds of varieties and nearly a thousand magical weapons.

Although the description of the magical weapon is a bit exaggerated, each of these nearly a thousand weapons has a great background and carries the hard work of several generations of princes, even at a high price.

Except for a very small part that was a reward from the late emperor and Song Jue, most of them were trophies, taken from the hands of the Liao and Jin generals, and some of them were famous weapons that ranked relatively high on the weapon list. And this armory was also built for them.

The people responsible for guarding the armory are the private soldiers of the Duke's Mansion. Because they wear armor and masks all year round, everyone is accustomed to calling them armored guards. There are a total of one hundred armored guards here. They are the best among the elite soldiers. Each one They can achieve excellence in all assessments. Anyone can fight one against a hundred. Unless there is a particularly urgent battle that requires their support, most of the time, their responsibility is to guard the armory. With them, not even a fly can It's hard to fly in.

"My lord, general!" When the four armored guards guarding the entrance of the armory saw Shen Haolin and Shen Cha, they all knelt on one knee and saluted.

"Everyone, please get up." Shen Haolin raised his hand, and together with Shen Cha, handed their tokens to the armored guards for inspection.

The little leader guarding the gate picked up two tokens and walked to the left and right sides of the gate. He put the tokens into the secret slots on both sides. When the gate slowly opened, the little leader took out the two tokens and held them respectfully. Arriving in front of Shen Haolin and Shen Cha.

"My lord, general, please put it away!"

"Thank you for your hard work!" Shen Haolin took back the two tokens and looked at Shen Cha, "Let's go!"

The entire armory is divided into an above-ground floor and a basement floor. The above-ground floor is empty, with only two weapons placed in the most conspicuous position. One is the Crescent Slash used by the old man during his lifetime, and the other is The old lady’s eight-foot-long snake spear.

People throughout Daxia thought that although the old Duke and Mrs. Guo were born in the general family, they did not learn the kung fu inherited from their families. People who thought this way were actually all wrong. The Mrs. Guo’s kung fu was no worse than that of the old master. She was a snake eight feet long. She was very good at dancing with spears. She followed the old Duke in the south and north, and later stationed at Jiaping Pass for many years, and also killed many foreigners. However, the old Duke's wife always kept a low profile and did not like Being in the limelight, her military exploits were attributed to the old Duke. Both the late emperor and Song Jue were very clear about this.

Shen Haolin and Shen Cha knelt in front of Xinyue Zhan and Zhangba Snake Spear again and kowtowed. Then they walked to the side of Xinyue Zhan and gently turned a wolf head sculpture on the shelf. The wall on the left slowly It split from the middle, revealing a mysterious secret passage.

Shen Haolin and Shen Cha walked into the secret passage and found another wolf head sculpture in the door. They twisted it and saw the secret door slowly closing. Then they turned around and left, walking down the stairs to the underground of the armory. layer.

Although the path going down was a bit dark, when we finally reached the underground level of the armory, our eyes suddenly opened up. There were a hundred bright lamps lit inside, illuminating the place as if it were daytime.

"My lord, general!" The leader of the armored guard saluted Shen Haolin and Shen Cha, "You two are here today, what do you want to see?"

"We are here to pick up something like that today!" Shen Cha smiled, "Take us there!"

"Yes, you two, please come with me!" The leader nodded clearly, "This way, please."

"Unknowingly, the armory has already collected so many things." Shen Haolin took Shen Cha and walked all the way to look at it. He said with emotion, "The more weapons collected here, the more foreigners we have killed." The more.”

"The more distinguished foreigners you kill, the more you kill. This belongs to Wan Yanlun, the general of the Jin Kingdom. I still remember the shock on his face when he was beheaded by his brother. He couldn't believe that he had fought for so many years. , to be defeated by a young general." Shen Cha took Shen Haolin's hand and chuckled, "However, Wan Yanlun's weapons are weird, and I have never seen him use them. When he goes to the battlefield, he always uses a scimitar like an ordinary soldier. How he uses this unique weapon of his own seems to be a mystery."

"This thing is actually very similar to a mace, and the usage is probably similar, but it has a mechanism. How to use this mechanism is very important. If you don't do it well, you will hurt yourself." Shen Haolin looked at it. The leader of the guard said, "When this thing was put in before, some of them used it out of curiosity. Fortunately, they were quick and avoided it quickly, otherwise they would have been seriously injured."

"The Duke is right." The guard leader nodded. The three of them stood in front of the strange weapon. He pointed to the front and back. "There are mechanisms on both sides of the front and back, and they can shoot very thin weapons." Silver needles, press the switch, and dozens of silver needles will be ejected. The most important thing is that we later checked and found that every silver needle is poisonous. Therefore, even if we are interested in it, we will not It hasn’t been touched yet.”

"Well done!" Shen Haolin and Shen Cha nodded at the same time, "Safety is the most important thing."

The three of them walked and watched, and the memories of the battles over the years slowly came to their minds. Shen Haolin and Shen Cha were a little emotional. Although one of them was twenty-two years old and the other was about to celebrate his eighteenth birthday, they were so In just over twenty years, they have experienced too many things in more than ten years. They have experienced the ups and downs of life, the joys and sorrows, and they feel much older than their peers.

"arrive!"

After walking for almost a cup of tea, the three of them finally arrived at their destination. This area was full of famous bows and arrows, almost a hundred of them, all of which came from Liao and Jin generals. And Shen Haolin and The purpose of Chencha is the heavy bow that is completely black and hangs in the middle of the middle row.

"Take it down!" Shen Haolin pointed to the heavy bow made of black gold and smiled softly, "After going around for so many years, this bow and arrow has finally returned to Uncle Yan's hands."

"Yes!" Shen Cha nodded and reached out to take the bow and arrow held by the guard leader. "When you hold it like this, this bow weighs more than a hundred pounds. Without any strength, you really can't pull it open." She stretched out her hand. He pinched the bow string, pulled it to a full position, and gently released it. Hearing a "pop" sound, the candle placed not far away for supplementary lighting was instantly extinguished. Shen Cha raised his eyebrows and couldn't help but He praised, "What a great bow!"

"Good work, General!" the guard leader praised, "This bow weighs one hundred and twenty kilograms, and half of the armored guards cannot draw a full string."

"The bow of the general of the Jin Kingdom is still a little lighter than that of the general of the Liao Kingdom. Last time I was in Wuma Town, I weighed the bow of the old general Wanyan Zesheng. It was much heavier than this, at least two hundred kilograms. I can only reluctantly draw a full string." Shen Cha took the guard leader's box and carefully put the bow in, "Okay, it has been here for so many years, it's time to return it to Uncle Yan. .”

"No, it was Uncle Yan who got this bow back then. However, a lot of things happened at that time. He was severely hit and couldn't draw the bow at all. My father could only put it in temporarily. Armory. Now that the knot has been resolved, it can be returned to its original owner."

"At that time, Brother Xiaotian said that he wanted to send a gift, so I thought of this. I think no matter how much money I give, it is not as good as this. After all, Uncle Yan is not short of money, right?"

"Yes, we have a good understanding, and we came together." Shen Haolin patted the guard leader on the shoulder, "Go ahead, let's go out on our own."

"Congratulations to the Duke, and congratulations to the general!"

Carrying the box containing the heavy black gold bow, Shen Haolin and Shen Cha returned the same way and returned to the ancestral hall through two secret passages.

"Father, mother!" Shen Haolin put the box on the ground, knelt on the futon with Shen Cha, and kowtowed to the memorial tablets of the old Mr. Guo and his wife, "Today is a good day. Uncle Qin and Uncle Yan are very happy. Days. They had been separated for many years because of a misunderstanding, leaving a knot in each other's hearts. Many years later, the misunderstanding was solved and the knot disappeared. They decided to join hands to spend the last stage of their lives. Father, mother, please Bless them!"

"Father, mother, brother and I decided to give this bow to Uncle Yan as a gift, hoping that they can live in harmony in the future. They are our relatives and elders, and my brother and I will be filial to them. Don't worry. Bar!"

After saying that, Shen Haolin and Shen Cha kowtowed three times to the memorial tablet, stood up, picked up the small box and walked out of the ancestral hall.

"Shall we put this back in our house?" Shen Cha pulled Shen Haolin towards Huqiu, "When the time is almost up, how about we find an excuse to sneak out and give them a surprise? "

"Okay!" Shen Haolin smiled fondly, "I'll listen to you."

The two of them walked hand in hand back to Huqiu, back to their bedroom, and hid the box in the secret compartment behind the bookshelf.

"Let's go, I want to see if Xiaoyun, Qi Qi, and Shi Qi have come up with some good ideas to embarrass my master."

"Are you not worried about your master being angry at all? For so many years, no one has dared to tease him."

Shen Cha closed the door, looked at Shen Haolin with a smile, pulled him away and said, "My master is very generous. He doesn't care about harmless jokes at all. Besides, I dare to bet you." , he will definitely play more energetically than us!"

"I hope so!"

Shen Haolin and Shen Cha returned to Uncle Yan's yard and saw three people squatting under the eaves at a glance. When they left, these three people were squatting like this. An hour later, these three people were still like this. Squatting without even changing the position.

"You three..." Shen Cha first pulled Song Qiyun up and threw him into the house, then picked up Ying Shiqi and Ying Shiba, "Don't you feel cold? What if you get cold sickness? By the way. ,Where’s Mei Zhu?”

"Sister Miao Miao asked someone to come over and say that she doesn't have enough manpower there and needs to find Sister Xiaozhu and Sister Xiaolin."

Shen Cha stood under the eaves and shouted toward the roof, "Fifteen, go get a few bowls of ginger soup. Remember to bring your own."

"Okay, wait for me for a while and I'll be back soon!"

Shen Cha watched Ying Fifteen swishing away, turned around and entered the house, and saw Shen Haolin bringing two charcoal basins to the three naughty children. She conveniently stuffed the hand stove she was carrying Song Qiyun took two more heaters from the table and handed them to Ying Shiqi and Ying Shiqiu.

"You three are quite capable. Are you really not afraid of being frozen into an iceman?"

"Sister Xiaocha, we are not cold at all." Song Qiyun held the stove and smiled at Shen Haolin and Shen Cha, "Even though our legs are a little numb, we don't dare to get up. What did you two do?"

"This is a secret. You will know when the time comes." Shen Cha smiled and turned around to see Ying Shishi running in with a food box. "Slow down!" She took the food box and put it on the table. She took out the ginger soup inside and distributed it to everyone. She saw other people frowning at the ginger soup in front of them, raised her eyebrows slightly, and drank up her bowl while holding her breath. , and then placed the empty bowl on the table. "I've finished drinking!"

Shen Haolin was the second to finish the drink. After finishing the drink, he took out a small purse and took out two pieces of candy. He ate one himself and stuffed the other into Shen Cha's mouth.

When the other four people saw Shen Haolin and Shen Cha, no matter how reluctant they were, they had no choice but to pick up their bowls, hold their noses and drink the ginger soup.

"It's so spicy!" Song Qiyun put the bowl back on the table and also ate a piece of candy. "Look at how sweaty I am, the little bit of chill I had just now is gone."

"You three have been squatting there for a long time. What good ideas have you come up with?" Shen Cha leaned against Shen Haolin, "Don't think of anything!"

"We just have a hard time making a choice." Song Qiyun held out a finger, "First, ask the deputy commander to tell the most touching thing that happened between the two of them. It's okay not to say it, but you have to drink it. Three cups of hot ginger tea, dogwood tea and garlic juice tea. Second, please ask the deputy commander to make an affectionate confession to Uncle Yan. Otherwise, you can use a set of boxing techniques, or you can not use boxing. Wait for Uncle Yan. Come out and carry Uncle Yan on your back until you reach the Nuan Pavilion."

"Only two?" Shen Cha raised his eyebrows, "That sounds pretty good, but forget about those three cups of tea. My master has just recovered from his illness, so he shouldn't eat such irritating things. The last part of the story The things that moved them were okay. Forget about the affectionate confession. Unlike Brother Xiaotian, they were very thin-skinned and could not do such a thing. The one who carried Uncle Yan on his back to Nuan Pavilion was very okay. This I agree with that. But...it's not difficult for you, I have a really good idea."

"What?" Everyone's eyes were focused on Shen Cha.

"My master hates eating celery the most. He can't stand the taste, so..." Shen Cha raised his eyebrows, "We can prepare celery for him. We don't need too much, one stick is enough!"
