"Who said no? Don't forget, besides being the king of my Tai Cang, King Xia is also a walk in the world. It is said that the reason why Tai Cang defeated the dove dog on the battlefield a few days ago was because of the gift of the gods. !"
"How noble is Gale walking? I don't know how many countries and races have totems that are Gale!"
When everyone was receiving the food, they were still talking about it. If Ji Xia was present, they would not be able to sigh how simple the needs of the people of Tai Cang were. All they had to do was receive a few more days of food to release all the goodwill in their hearts. come out.
Jingyu put the rice and vegetables in the bag into the cold cellar, and came back to watch the lamb in a daze.
"It was clear that Lord Taicheng was not on Nanqing Street at that time. How did the Lord know that I entertained the lord?"
As soon as the girl heard the word "hospitality", her face couldn't help but turn a little red: "Where is the hospitality? It's just a pot of water for the lord of the country."
"Since Uncle Taicheng wasn't there at the time, could the lord tell him? Does the lord remember me?" Jing Yu began to think wildly. The person who had taken her captive and locked up before was the current King of the Kingdom.
Thinking of this possibility, she felt much more at ease. She walked back and forth in the small yard with the sheep. After walking for a long time, the girl squatted beside the antler sheep and spoke to her in a soft voice.
"Xiaoyang, what should I call you? Since you are bestowed by the lord of the country, why not call you Xiaoxia? No... no... The lord will be angry if he knows that I named the lamb after him. Let me call you Xiaomei? Under my care, you will grow more beautiful..."
While Jingyu was staring at the antler sheep and talking to himself, something unexpected happened.
The lamb stared into Jing Yu's eyes, and suddenly said, "Xiaomei? What kind of name is that? My name is Kuishuang, not Xiaomei!"
Jing Yu shook his head and said, "This sheep was given to me by the lord of the country, of course I have to name it..."
"Ah!" Before Jing Yu finished speaking, she finally came to her senses. She stared blankly like a lamb. After a long time, she finally pierced the sky with ear-piercing screams.
"What's the name of a ghost? You live in the boundless wilderness, haven't you seen a monster?"
The lamb looked lazily at Jing Yu who was retreating, and her voice was as pleasant as a young girl's voice: "Don't worry, I'm a harmless goat demon with antlers now, and I won't hurt you."
Jing Yu nodded, indicating that he understood, but at the moment when Xiao Yang lowered his head, the girl quickly ran to the wooden door, trying to escape to Nanqing Street.
She wanted to catch up with the group of officials and tell them: "In her home, there is a monster who can speak human words."
The antler lamb saw Jingyu's movements, but there was no movement in the lamb. A breeze blew, catching up with Jingyu who was staggering and running, rolled her up, and sent her back to the antler sheep.
The antler lamb stepped forward and rubbed Jingyu with its small horn, and said, "Don't worry, I won't hurt you, and I can teach you a lot of things. Can you take me in?"
Jing Yu suddenly calmed down, she thought that the antler sheep named Huaishuang was given to her by the lord of the country, and she didn't think that the talking sheep was terrible.
She stretched out her hand and quickly touched the sheep's head, and then retracted her little hand like lightning. After making sure that the sheep demon would not hurt her, she breathed a sigh of relief.
The girl thought for a while, then nodded heavily: "For the sake of the king, I will take you in."
"But...but, you are not allowed to eat people!"
The antler lamb exhaled from its nose and said in a strange tone: "Don't worry, I'm a herbivore now."
Chapter 23 Drink This Cup Full
Ji Qianqing was looking at an exaggeratedly large bow in her hand.
This giant bow is made of a strange silver metal, with a black wing engraved on both of the bow petals.
"What is this bow called?" Ji Qianqing asked curiously.
She was secretly summoned into the royal court, and Ji Xia gave her the silver bow with a serious face, and solemnly told her that it must be kept properly.
"The giant bow of the ten directions is a weapon I got by chance. It is very powerful. You take it back and keep it carefully. Maybe it will play a very important role in times of crisis." Ji Xia explained seriously.
"This bow is very strange. There is nothing strange about the bow body, but when I hold it in my hand, I can clearly feel the terrifying power contained in the bow."
Ji Qianqing felt the power on the bow, and there was a flash of exclamation in her eyes: "This power is so powerful that it makes me tremble. Where did you get such a powerful tool?"
Ji Xia heard Ji Qianqing's admiration, nodded with satisfaction, and asked again, "Can you draw this bow?"
Ji Qianqing subconsciously raised her bow and plucked the strings, trying to pull the bow away.
Ji Xia fought a cold war, and hurriedly stepped forward and patted Ji Qianqing's bow-drawing hand: "Wait a minute, this ten-square bow is quite special, it can only be used once, and it will be bad if it is used unintentionally."
Ji Qianqing put down the giant bow, and quietly put the right hand that Ji Xia slapped behind her and said, "Can only be used once?"
Ji Xia nodded: "Yes, I gave you this Shifang Bow because you have the strongest cultivation base and can draw this bow. When the war breaks out, you will try to use this sword to kill the leader of the enemy. "
Ji Qianqing scrutinized the Shifang Bow carefully, and then handed it to Ji Xia and said, "King, you should keep this bow. You can give it to me when the war breaks out."
In Ji Xia's puzzled eyes, she continued to explain: "Such a powerful weapon, if it is not well kept and pulled away, the consequences will be unimaginable. I just saw that the king can take out the ten-square bow out of thin air, and the king should keep it for you. What treasure is stored, it is better to put the Shifang Bow in the treasure of storage and carry it with you, it is more secure than if I take it back and hide it.”
"And such a powerful weapon is on the side, but I can't test its power, which is somewhat itchy."
Ji Xia thought about it for a while and found that it was indeed the truth, so he put the Shifang Gong into the Forbidden Divine Tree.
Seeing such a huge bow and arrow disappearing strangely, Ji Qianqing couldn't help asking: "Are the stored treasures and the ten-direction bow left by the previous king? This is the first time for me to use a weapon as powerful as the ten-direction bow." See."
Ji Xia looked around mysteriously and raised her hand to signal Ji Qianqing to approach.
Ji Qianqing thought that Ji Xia was going to share some secrets with him, so she approached Ji Xia and listened, only to hear Ji Xia whisper, "I walk in the wind, these treasures are naturally given to me by the wind."
Ji Qianqing raised her brows, and stepped on Ji Xia's foot. Ji Xia let out a cry of pain, holding her toes with both hands, and jumped far away.
"Humph!"
Ji Qianqing snorted coldly, wearing a dark red dress fluttering like a fairy, turned around and walked out the door.
At this moment, a guard came to report: "The lord, the reservoir on the banks of the Haixiu River has been completed."
The huge reservoir was completed in less than two days, and Ji Xia was once again proud of the pragmatic spirit of the Tai Cang people.
He stood beside the pool and looked at the huge pool in front of him. The pool was covered with neat layers of stones, row upon row, looking full of quaint beauty.
"Open the valve, pour water!" The master of the craftsman's house, Lu's case, gave an order. The three Cang Guard sergeants slowly pulled the iron chains in their hands. The dams on the three waterways were pulled open, and the river water in the Haixiu River was poured into the reservoir. , the reservoir was already full in just one cup of tea.
"Lord, what is the use of this cistern?" Lu Jian asked curiously.
Lu Shangyin also asked, "Previously, the country lord said that this cistern would become the lifeblood of Tai Cang. I don't know what is so wonderful about such a cistern."
Ji Xia was also very uneasy about the effect of washing the marrow spar. He originally wanted to try it beforehand, but he didn't know whether the amount of water was directly related to the effect of the spar, so he kept it on hold.
At this time on the Haixiu River, in addition to the large number of Cang Shou sergeants stationed on the river, there were also two ministers, several Tai Cang ministers, as well as Ji Qianqing and four generals of the Cang Shou Army.
Ji Xia took a deep breath and walked to the cistern in the eyes of everyone's doubts. With a thought, a black spar the size of a head suddenly disappeared from the tree on the tree of forbidden rot, and appeared. In Ji Xia's hands.
This black spar has hundreds of faces, each of which refracts the sun's rays in a peculiar way, making it look extremely shiny.
Ji Xia held up the chalcedony spar and threw it into the cistern.
The marrow-washing spar fell into the water, and there was a sudden flash of aura in the water. This aura disappeared in a very short time, and the pool returned to normal again.
Ji Xia was stunned for a moment, then hesitantly said, "Okay?"
