Chapter 328 Obtaining the Precious Bow and Setting out for Danzhou
In the study room of the Shen family mansion.

After learning that he would be forced to attend the meeting to quell the rebellion, Shen Qing reduced the government affairs of the two departments in recent times.

In my free time, I either practice or stay in the study.

At this time, the door of the study was gently pushed open, and the servant brought news.

Just as Shen Qing expected, Wu Sheng, who was sent to Kyoto to look for the treasure bow, came back.

"Let him in."

"Yes, my lord."

With a creak, the wooden door opened.

Wu Sheng, with a dusty face, walked in carrying a long wooden box on his back, and walked respectfully to Shen Qing: "Greetings, Master."

Shen Qing waved towards the door.

The servant standing at the door understood and closed the door for Shen Qing.

Shen Qing glanced at Wu Sheng and asked, "How is it, any results?"

Wu Sheng untied the cloth rope on his chest and presented an antique wooden box in his hands, which looked heavy.

He said with barely perceptible excitement, "Master, I have accomplished your mission. I have found a precious bow in the capital that should meet your requirements."

When Shen Qing heard this, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes. He took the wooden box and gently stroked the carvings on the lid with his fingers.

The bow he wanted now would require at least two hundred stones, and it would be impossible to ask a craftsman to forge it.

There are some heavy bows in Yongzhou's Baibao Tower, but unfortunately, they are not much different from the heavy bow he has now. Even if there is a larger heavy bow, it is just an ordinary iron bow, which is not what he wants.

So after much thought, the only option was to let Wu Sheng go to the capital to look for it.

After all, Kyoto has a thousand-year-old foundation of the Great Zhou Kingdom, and it might be able to meet his needs.

Shen Qing unfastened the lock and opened the wooden box.

A flash of cold light suddenly appeared.

In the wooden box, an ancient and majestic bow lay quietly inside, emitting a faint spiritual aura, appearing somewhat extraordinary.

"This bow..." Shen Qing could not hide his surprise in his voice.

Wu Sheng stepped forward and explained, "It is said that this bow was forged from a precious embryo left over from ancient times. It is not an ordinary bow, and it is quite good."

"This treasure embryo went through countless years and was accidentally discovered by a forging master, who used his supreme magical power to forge it into a bow. According to his descendants, this treasure embryo is extraordinary. It is a unique material for making top-level magic weapons and is hard to find in the world. Although this treasure bow is not a magic weapon from ancient times, it is close to it and is not comparable to ordinary iron bows."

Shen Qing gently stroked the bow, feeling the power contained in it, and an indescribable excitement surged in his heart.

He took a deep breath and tried to inject his own spiritual power into the bow. The bowstring vibrated slightly, quietly resonating with his heartbeat and maintaining the same frequency, which continued to echo in Shen Qing's ears.

Shen Qingxin pulled it and found a strong resistance.

His face changed and he activated his spiritual power to wrap his hands around it.

As his spiritual power was activated, Shen Qing's arms became dazzlingly golden, as if they were made of gold.

Shen Qing shouted softly and exerted force with both arms.

The precious bow in his hand flashed with light and was gradually pulled by Shen Qing.

"Four hundred stones!"

Shen Qing let out a low cry. Even with his level of cultivation, he couldn't help but be shocked by the power of this precious bow.

You know, it is rare to find an ordinary heavy bow with a force of 100 stones, but this precious bow has a force of 400 stones.

The power of such an arrow when mounted on a bow would be terrifying.

Shen Qing stood up and his body and mind moved, and he suddenly disappeared from the spot.

He used the Great Void Technique, constantly moving, and in the blink of an eye he appeared outside the city.

His eyes were as sharp as torches, focused on the distant sky.

He slowly raised his precious bow and used the Heavenly Bow Technique.

A brilliant arrow of light gathered on the bowstring. With a low shout, the arrow flew out of the bowstring, with a devastating momentum, breaking through the sky.

Suddenly, a dazzling light burst out under the scorching sun, like the ultimate fireworks blooming in the sky, instantly covering the sky and swallowing up all the light around it.

At first glance, it looked like the sun had exploded.

"Sun Shooting Technique, Sun Shooting Technique, it is indeed amazing and extraordinary."

Shen Qing looked at the sun under the sky which was gradually regaining its brightness, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a smug smile.

After trying out the bow, he did not stay long.

Shen Qing moved his feet, his figure changed, and flew towards the Shen family mansion.

In just half an incense stick of time, Shen Qing came back to the study and stood in front of Wu Sheng.

When Wu Sheng saw Shen Qing appearing and disappearing like a ghost, his face suddenly became stern and his expression became even more respectful.

Shen Qing's eyes fell on the precious bow in front of him and asked, "I am very satisfied with the bow you found. Does it have a name?"

Wu Sheng replied respectfully: "The descendant of the forging master did not tell me the name of this bow, so it should be nameless."

"That's right. A bow and arrow is a bow and arrow. It doesn't need a name. Just use it."

Shen Qing put the precious bow back into the wooden box and put it away again.

He looked up at Wu Sheng and said, "You've had a hard time along the way. You should take a good rest for a few days. I don't think I'll have anything to bother you with for a long time."

Wu Sheng was surprised and asked, "Are you also going to attend the meeting to quell the rebellion?"

"Did you hear that too?"

"When I was in Kyoto, I heard some dignitaries mention that the children of the eight great families all participated. There seemed to be more than 70 people. Each family sent a number of protectors to help. It was quite a commotion."

Wu Sheng now realized that it was no wonder that Shen Qing was so anxious to find the treasure bow. It turned out that there was this reason.

"Sir, you..."

"It's okay, go and give it a try, maybe you can get my wealth." Shen Qing smiled.

For some reason, he didn't feel any fear, but instead felt a little bit of anticipation.

……

Winter passes and spring comes.

The winter in Yongzhou has passed quietly, but there is still a hint of chill in the air.

At this time of year, the sound of horse hooves outside the city broke the usual tranquility.

A team of officials dressed in gorgeous and brocade official uniforms rode into the city with great momentum.

These people are generals from the Southern Territory Military Department.

Without any hesitation, they drove straight to the Yongzhou County Government Office.

The gatekeeper at the county government office shouted, "Who are you? Tell me your name!"

"We are the special envoys of the Southern Region Military Department. We are here to carry out important tasks under the order of the imperial court. Please inform us as soon as possible."

As he spoke, the team leader raised his hand slightly, and the unique aura of a congenital master quietly spread out, making the gatekeeper at the door of the yamen feel oppressed involuntarily.

They did not dare to hesitate and reported it quickly.

In the Yongzhou mansion, upon hearing the news, the county magistrate Dou Wenxi and the county supervisor Yan Xushou, as the chief officials of the county, hurried over and said politely, "My lords, you have come from afar. I wonder what you are doing here?"

The leader of the military department took out a list sealed with yellow silk from his bosom and said, "We are following the imperial order. We are here in accordance with the secret order of the court to bring the officials and martial artists from Yongzhou who are participating in the meeting to Danzhou to participate in the meeting and eliminate those rebels."

County Magistrate Dou Wenxi and County Supervisor Yan Xushou took the list and glanced at it quickly, finding that it was exactly the same as the one they had confirmed before.

The leader said in an unquestionable tone: "Every man has a share of responsibility for the fate of his country. Serving the country is the honor of warriors like us. Please understand and support me, and don't let personal feelings interfere with state affairs. We will give you one day to prepare, and we will set out before noon tomorrow."

"Subordinate to obey!"

Dou Wenxi and the other man could only nod helplessly and ordered their men to prepare to march to Danzhou.
