Chapter 3: The Camp Director's Pectorals Are Quite Good (4)

  The second update is here

  The boss stared at him in shock, "Officer, this isn't calculated like that! This titanium alloy inner armor took nearly half a year for two skilled craftsmen to make, not to mention the cost of polishing and the magical snake scales." The price tag on this inner armor was as high as sixty gold coins, which was equivalent to twenty years' worth of military pay for an ordinary soldier.

  Zhou Wei Qing widened his eyes and said with a thick face: "Boss, didn't you say that the titanium alloy was six gold coins per kilogram? And you just said you wouldn't charge me labor costs. I'm buying this for our battalion commander, you won't be so petty, will you? You have to operate honestly! Alright, if you insist on raising the price, I have no choice, but I don't have enough money. After I give it to the commander, I'll let her pay you back the difference. How about that? Our battalion commander is a pillar of our country! For her safety, I've spent all my military salary for several years, and I really don't have any extra money left." As he spoke, this scoundrel also put on a very troubled expression.

  "This, this..." As soon as the boss heard that it was for Shangguan Bing'er, his face suddenly turned strange. When he met Zhou Weiqing, he really wanted to cry but had no tears. In the end, he could only sigh and say, "Alright, alright. Since it's for the young master, I won't say anything else. However, Officer, if you want to customize something in the future, come find me!"

  Zhou Weiqing smiled secretly in his heart, not daring to stay any longer. "Thank you! I'll come back for the wind hat tonight. By the way, wrap another layer of canvas on the outside of the titanium alloy wind hat, and make sure it looks exactly like my original one. The brim can be a bit bigger, that way it will be more defensive." He threw out these words and walked away with his head held high, feeling pleased with himself.

  As soon as he went out the door, Zhou Weiqing found a quiet alley and slipped in, taking off his outer clothes and putting on the silver titanium alloy inner armor. Although it was slightly larger, the elastic snake tendon was very good, and when bundled up, it was quite close-fitting, and from the outside, wearing military uniform, it was absolutely impossible to see.

  "What a great thing! Alas, unfortunately, titanium alloy can't be infused with heavenly power, nor can it have any attributes added to it. If it could, with its characteristics, it would definitely be priceless." Zhou Weiqing sighed slightly. Titanium alloy has many advantages, but also many disadvantages, that is, it cannot be infused with heavenly power and cannot add any attributes, this characteristic destined it to not become a weapon for the Jewel Masters, therefore, the price will never be too high.

  After collecting the harvest, Zhou Weiqing decided to go and retrieve a treasure he had been keeping in the Starry Forest, something he considered the most precious thing he had obtained in his thirteen years of life.

  ……

  Just as Zhou Weiqing joined the army and became a rogue archer, the Tian Bow Imperial Palace was filled with tension.

  "Father Emperor, don't be angry, it was my fault." Princess Diya knelt there, sobbing pitifully.

  Across from her, a middle-aged man in his forties wearing a golden brocade robe was pacing back and forth. He wore a gold crown on his head, and his face was as pale as jade. The invisible aura of a superior being made all the attendants around him dare not even breathe loudly. However, at this moment, he furrowed his brow deeply, with fierce anger burning in his eyes. Upon hearing Empress Tiffania's words, he suddenly stopped pacing and shouted angrily: "I'm telling you, if Weiqing is fine, then that's the end of it. But if he really was harmed by you, then you'll follow him to the grave!"

  It turned out that after Di Ya returned to the imperial palace, she became more and more afraid, but in the end, reason overcame fear, and she told her father, Emperor Di Fengling, about it. At first, she was still hesitant, but as soon as Di Fengling heard that it involved Zhou Weiqing, he immediately called over his guard, Niya, to carefully ask questions and clarify all the details. After learning about what had happened, he became extremely enraged and immediately dispatched four Life Masters from the imperial palace, led by Niya, to search for Zhou Weiqing and ordered them to do their best to treat him.

  Tiffany's eyes widened as she stared at her father, she never thought that Zhou Weiqing would hold such an important position in the emperor's heart.

  "Father, he's just a subject, but I'm your only daughter!" Emperor Feng Ling had only one son and one daughter. The eldest daughter was 16-year-old Emperor Fei Ya. Emperor Fei Ya also had a younger brother. Emperor Feng Ling was an extremely famous ruler. After having a son and ensuring his health, he decided not to have any more children. The reason was simple: to avoid future struggles for the throne after his death, and to focus on cultivating this only son.

  "Are you aware that you are my only daughter? Back then, at the border of the Empire and Keresi, if it wasn't for Big Brother Zhou risking his life to save me, using his own body to block the enemy's arrow rain, would you even exist in this world? At that time, Big Brother Zhou was hit by 26 arrows, and four Life-saving Jade Masters used all their strength to treat him for a month before they managed to save his life. Over these twenty years, Big Brother Zhou has made countless contributions to the Empire, without him, the Tian Gong Empire would have ceased to exist long ago, could you even become a princess? As a member of the royal family, instead of working hard for the rise of the empire, you are indulging in fantasies of being a white horse prince's heroine. Don't mention that today Wei Qing might have coincidentally seen you, even if he intentionally went to see you bathing, what does it matter? You are his fiancée, put it bluntly, even if he...you, it wouldn't be anything out of the ordinary. And yet, you dared to attack him with your Jade Intent skills! I'm telling you this, I'm not joking around, if Wei Qing really died, you would be buried with him. Otherwise, I won't be able to face Big Brother Zhou."

  Tiffany finally knew fear when Emperor Fengling said for the second time that she would be buried with him, and she realized that her father had made up his mind, although she did not want to believe it was true no matter what.

  "Your Majesty." At this moment, five people walked in from outside and bowed to Emperor Feng Ling. They were the four Life Palace Jewel Masters he had sent out.

  "How is it? How about Weiqing?" Emperor Feng Ling asked anxiously.

  The first life system Yu Zushi respectfully said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, we haven't found Zhou Zijun yet, but we have carefully surveyed the situation there and found the footprints of Zhou Zijun when he left. From this, it can be judged that Zhou Zijun should have left safely."

  Di Feng's eyebrows furrowed tightly, "How is this possible? Wei Qing was just an ordinary person, and he withstood the blow of a fire-elemental intent pearl... I'm afraid..."

  Shizushi said: "After all, Zhou Zijun is the son of General Zhou, perhaps the general gave him some life-saving items."

  Di Feng's expression finally eased a bit, and he turned to Di Fei Ya: "Get up, come with me to the Marshal's Mansion to apologize to Wei Qing."

  At this time, Di Fengya still dared to say what? Although she had already scolded Zhou Weiqing countless times in her heart, she still had to get up reluctantly and follow her father.

  Zhou Weiqing of course did not know that his failure to return home had brought so much trouble to the capital of the Heaven's Bow Empire. The next morning, he ate a hearty breakfast at the hotel, slung his longbow over his shoulder and rushed to report for duty at the military camp.
