As soon as An Zichen arrived at Zheng Ying's house, he went on a mission with Chang Ji, because the border border was about to move again, and he might have to go to war.
All of this is closely related to the third prince. The evidence last time was insufficient, so the emperor's answer to Zheng Ying was to ask him to collect the evidence of the third prince's crime and then hand it over.
Today's Holy Emperor is indecisive. Without conclusive evidence, it is absolutely impossible to kill his own son, let alone the third prince born to Concubine Shu.
Concubine Shu and the Emperor were childhood sweethearts, and she was also the Queen Mother's niece. If it weren't for the fact that the Queen was the Princess of Western Chu, Concubine Shu would have been the Queen.
However, although Concubine Shu failed to sit on the throne of the queen, she was treated wholeheartedly by the emperor. Moreover, the queen had no son. In fact, the son she gave birth to had the best chance of becoming the prince.
But this prince should have been the direct descendant, but the third prince was neither the direct descendant nor the elder. However, due to his ambition and the strong strength behind him, he was bound to win that position.
Just the year before last, the property in his pocket had been transferred to the eldest son of the emperor with the advice of civil and military officials. Concubine Xian was in a good position with the prince, and the third prince began to make small moves.
The emperor didn't know what he was doing, but he just didn't take the initiative to stop what the third prince was doing. He indulged him again and again, which led to continuous wars at the border and made the people at the border miserable.
If this is an imperial policy, then it is too wasteful for the people and money.
You know, the one who wins the hearts of the people wins the world. The third prince has done all kinds of bad things. When the scandal is exposed, will he still be able to safely become the prince?
The third prince had some involvements with the Liang Kingdom, a small country to the east of Dong Chu. Although the Liang Kingdom covered less than two-thirds of the area of Dong Chu, it did not prevent them from doing small things at the border.
The position of the crown prince of Eastern Chu was unstable, and Western Chu was eyeing him. Facing Liang Guo's provocation, he could only contain him, but could not use the army to suppress the situation, so he was very passive.
Zheng Ying went on many expeditions but was unable to completely push back the Liang State. This was because of the help from the rear. When the hungry wolf was at the end of its rope, there was always someone to help feed it.
This time, it was also because Zheng Ying's people discovered the news that a large amount of grain and grass was going to be transported to Liang State, which led to the mission of An Zichen and Chang Ji.
An Zichen left, but Xia Qiyue also entered into selfless excitement, and the space was upgraded.
Once again he gave her a big surprise.
Xia Qiyue couldn't believe her eyes. She just stared blankly at the three options that appeared in front of her.
No, to be precise, there should be three prizes, because there is no selection button, only one, accept button.
Xia Qiyue didn't care, he directly clicked accept, and then couldn't wait to go to the warehouse to check.
Sure enough, all three of them were lying in the warehouse. Xia Qiyue didn't have time to appreciate them first, so she quickly went to the store to search. She was relieved after seeing the newly added items in the store.
This space upgrade did not unlock crops or fruits. It only gave three prizes. The shop unlocked corresponding items corresponding to these three prizes.
The three prizes that made Xia Qiyue so excited that she couldn't control herself were the Fifty-Arrow Repeating Crossbow, which was black in color, small and exquisite, smaller than bows and arrows, and had greater penetrating power, speed, and range than bows and arrows.
Several times, the shop also unlocked the special dark iron arrow crossbow.
The second one is the arm crossbow. It doesn't look very lethal. It's the same color as the crossbow. It's so small that Xia Qiyue thought it was a toy at first. After reading the introduction, she realized that the lethality of this arm crossbow is even more powerful than the crossbow.
, and it fires sixty arrows in a row. You just need to carry it on your arm. The crossbow arrow is only 2cm, as thick as a small nail. However, when this arrow is sent out, it will definitely penetrate through human bones and blood. Its lethality is second only to wood.
warehouse.
The third one is this wooden warehouse. Small and exquisite is the criterion of space, and wooden warehouse adds a beautiful look, which is liked by girls.
There was also a red pearl inlaid on it. Xia Qiyue picked it up just right. It was only as small as her palm, and it was silenced. There was no sound when it was played. The only drawback was that the wooden warehouse did not have a continuous fire function.
Although Xia Qiyue didn't know why Space gave her these three weapons this time, it couldn't stop her excitement.
She doesn't know how to hit a wooden warehouse, but it should be no problem to learn this thing. It is the best weapon to use for self-defense.
only…
"What's going on? It's only level six. Where did the upgrade health bar go?" Xia Qiyue had enough of admiring her prize, and then she realized that the unshakable upgrade health bar at the top of the space screen was missing.
"Is this going to stop upgrading? Is this what the space is like?"
Xia Qiyue was a little regretful, but the loss was greater than the regret. In the past, in order to upgrade the space, her biological clock was overloaded. Every morning she had to wake up and go into the space to work for a while. But if the space stopped upgrading, she would not be able to do much.
I have the motivation to work hard.
Naturally, there is no answer to her question in space, and she does not have a space spirit, let alone a unified son, so she still only has her own doubts about this question.
An Zichen is gone, but her life still has to go on. Since she has received such an awesome prize, how can she not go out and give it a try?
It happened that Dabai was bored, so at noon in July, Xia took advantage of Uncle Fu's nap time to take Dabai out. Without riding a horse, he led him into the woods.
Because Baijia Village is still fifty or sixty miles away from the back mountains, it would be better for her to try weapons deep in the mountains.
Xia Qiyue walked all the way into the deep forest. The first thing she took out was the arm crossbow. Because it was small enough and the crossbow arrows were not as special as Mucangzi, it was the most suitable weapon for her. The key point was that she felt that she could use the arm crossbow.
The crossbow is easier to use than Mucang.
Dabai's belly was already very big, but horses are different from humans. Even though their belly is so big, it doesn't affect their ability to run. It couldn't hold it anymore as it followed Xia Qiyue step by step, so Xia Qiyue simply let it go.
.
Dabai doesn't run far either. He goes out for a while and then comes back, running back and forth like this.
Xia Qiyue searched all the way, hoping to find some kind of pheasant, hare or the like to test the power of the arm crossbow in his hand.
There were not as many prey in the forest as there were in the mountains, and there were too many people walking back and forth. Xia Qiyue had to go into the deep forest before he encountered a nest of pheasants, who were frightened and fled in all directions from the grass.
Xia Qiyue knew the opportunity, and with quick eyesight and quick hands, she directly launched the arm crossbow according to the technique she had studied.
Um.
The posture is handsome enough, the speed is fast enough, and the arm strength is not reduced.
However, she fired sixty crossbow arrows in a row, but not even a feather was shot down.
After she finished shooting suddenly...
The world has become quiet.
It wasn't that she shot all the pheasants to death, but that they had long since escaped into the shadows.
There were no more arrows in the arm crossbow. Xia Qiyue did not freeze and threw it directly into the space. Then he took out a fifty-shot crossbow and continued to search.
However, there were pheasants and hares, and there were quite a few of them, but she had used up fifty rounds of crossbow arrows and was stunned not to shoot down any of them.
Replace it with a wooden warehouse, the same result.
So, in one afternoon, I wasted space and gave away so many crossbows and wooden warehouses for free, and returned empty-handed.
