Duke Xue Rengui of the State of Lu was a good drinker and good at shooting. He was known as the best marksman in Daliang, and his martial arts was naturally very strong. And he looks handsome and heroic.
When he was young, he was as popular as Zhenbei Hou, but he was closer to Boss Li. As a result, Boss Li died of illness, and he was naturally relegated to the cold palace of Jinling by Li Er. Far from the center of power.
Naturally, gifts are indispensable:
Lu Guogong’s godfather’s fruit wine, distilled spirits, compound bow, and cotton fur coat. There are also glass mirrors, perfumes, soaps, and diamond jewelry for my godmother.
Because Chu Feng came in advance, he naturally did not bring the three hundred cavalry or the imperial envoy's team. He only wore robes and was very polite.
Behind them, Shuang'er and Hong Niangzi were both holding a delicate wooden box.
On the Niu Mountain in front of the carriage, there was a huge wooden box placed at its feet. If it weren't for the festive red silk tied on the wooden box, it would definitely be misunderstood.
The concierge was very polite and did not act like a prince. Because he could also see that the young man outside the mansion was extraordinary. Especially when standing in front of the gate, the smiling face full of spring breeze and the calm eyes are definitely not something ordinary civilians can have.
"Sir, who are you looking for? This is the Duke of Lu's mansion. Normally, the Duke does not see guests."
The concierge came over, looked at Chu Feng and said softly.
"Go and tell Old Man Xue that his godson Chu Feng has come to Jinling to visit him."
Chu Feng said loudly with a smile.
The concierge was about to get angry when he heard the first half of the sentence, but the second half stunned him. He is the concierge of the Duke's Mansion, and he still knows a thing or two about official affairs.
Especially the imperial envoy Chu Feng, who came from the south along the way and arrested several court officials, and even just killed the governor of Nanchang!
The day before yesterday, the Duke of Guo also mentioned with a smile: The imperial envoy Chu Feng is actually his godson. If he comes to Jinling for inspection this time, he will definitely come to visit him in person. At that time, I was still laughed at by my wife, saying that the Duke of Guo was too sentimental. We haven’t contacted each other for so many years, and we didn’t even notify them when they got married. I have long forgotten the previous friendship between the two families.
Unexpectedly, this imperial envoy actually came quietly! However, does this godson deserve a beating for calling his godfather Old Man Xue? Alas, I'm just a concierge, so I can't control that much. After all, my godson is half a young master!
"Master Chu, wait a moment, old slave, I'm going to report this. A few days ago, the Duke of Guo was still talking about you."
As the porter spoke, he shouted to the guard at the side door: "Zhang Liu, hurry up and report to the Duke that Master Chu has arrived."
Looking at the hesitant guard, the porter couldn't help but add another sentence: "Master Chu, he is the adopted son of the Duke of Beijing. The Marquis of Zhenbei, the consort of Princess Zhaoyang, is the current imperial envoy."
Chu Feng had a dark look on his face. This old concierge had completely exposed himself. He, a concierge, actually knew him so well.
When the guard heard the imperial envoy, he immediately understood and turned around to report to the Duke's Mansion. Two more guards ran out to help carry the gifts.
Chu Feng took a natural step and walked in from the side door. Shuang'er and Lady Hong held small boxes and followed Chu Feng.
The porter took Niu Shan and arranged for the horses to graze. As for the big wooden box, it was carried in by the guards.
"Godfather, godmother, the children are here to visit you. It's polite here."
When Chu Feng came to the front hall, he could still spot Lu Guogong and his wife at a glance. Time has not spared anyone, and his godfather's hair was also a little gray.
However, he looks younger than his father. After all, staying in Jinling these past years has been very relaxing.
Xue Rengui looked at Chu Feng, his face full of nostalgia, this little guy has grown so big. He actually became the Prince Consort, and even achieved such great achievements! Who would have thought that the boy who used to be timid and cowardly, and was often bullied by his own daughter, would suddenly become so outstanding.
The Duke's wife looked at Chu Feng with twinkling eyes and a smile on her face: "This boy from the Chu family is really well-educated and knows how to secretly visit his own home. If this spreads out, our Lu Duke's palace will be full of shame. This kid used to look stupid when he was young, but he didn't expect that he would become so smart when he grew up."
"My godfather, I brought good wine to my godfather and some good things to my godmother."
Chu Feng said with a smile.
Soon, gifts were delivered one by one.
Fruit wine, spirits, cotton fur coats, but what pleased Xue Rengui the most was a bow with wheels. It was the simple compound bow designed by Chu Feng!
Xue Rengui held the compound bow and pulled it slightly, his eyes became sharp, and he couldn't help shouting: "What a bow! If this bow had been available back then, the King of the Huns would have been killed by an arrow!" "
"Haha, my godfather is indeed the best marksman in Daliang! This bow not only has a long range, but its arrows are also three to five times more powerful than ordinary arrows."
Chu Feng said with a big smile.
At this time, Shuang'er and Red Lady also presented the gifts for the Duke's wife.
The precious and sparkling diamond jewelry alone made the Duke and Madam like it with all her eyes, not to mention the shock when she saw the extremely clear glass mirror! Almost jumped!
When she smelled the tangy fragrance of various perfumes, the Duke's wife was completely shocked. Such a precious treasure was actually given to her.
"No, these gifts are too precious. How can anyone give such precious gifts?"
The Duke's wife still suppressed her envy and refused softly.
"Godmother, even if you accept these gifts, they are all from the child's heart. Back then, when the child married Zhaoyang, he didn't even have time to invite his godfather. Godmother, this can be regarded as the filial piety that the child and Zhaoyang made up for. In fact, when they got married, , Chinese New Year is coming soon, everyone is very busy, and my dad is still in Zhenbeiguan and hasn’t come back yet.”
Chu Feng said with a smile, and stretched out his hand to put the cotton fur coat on his godfather. He said with a smile: "With this winter in the future, you won't be afraid of the cold wind. Godfather, let's go to the school ground. I want to see your magic archery skills!"
At this time, no matter how stupid Duke Lu was, he understood. He couldn't help but glance at the lady next to him, and then said with a smile: "Okay, as a father, I will show you my little brother."
So, Shuang'er and Lady Hong stayed with the Duke's wife, and Chu Feng followed Duke Lu to the martial arts field in the backyard.
Xue Rengui, holding a compound bow, showed Chu Feng a real marksman!
At a distance of four hundred and fifty steps, one arrow hit the bull's-eye, and then three arrows were fired in quick succession, piercing the bull's-eye and revealing a small round hole!
Chu Feng was shocked from ear to ear. He was so powerful, so powerful! If you were to shoot against him, within a hundred steps, his sharp arrows would be no slower than a musket. It was really too fast.
In the blink of an eye, Xuan Xiang's arrow arrived!
"Boy, watch out, my godfather will perform a ten-arrow volley for you!"
Xue Rengui laughed loudly, got on his horse, and while the horse was galloping, he started to draw his bow and set an arrow. He saw sharp arrows one after another, almost all of which were arrows followed by arrow tails. There were ten sharp arrows, as straight as one Like a giant arrow, it shoots forward!
Chu Feng was stunned! Can you still play with bows and arrows like this? This requires powerful archery speed, powerful arrow control accuracy, and powerful archery interval estimation!
"Your kid gave me a bow and cotton-padded clothes. You want your adoptive father to go to Liaodong, right?"
Duke Xue Rengui's question made Chu Feng even more stunned.
