Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Road is One Foot High
Lu Bu's originally disdainful expression changed in an instant, as if he had seen a ghost. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Lian Po and Fan Hao were pleasantly surprised, and their expressions were equally unexpected.
Liu Bei's gray face was solidified and petrified, and his eyes instantly appeared with tragic panic.
The two sergeants were all stunned, and their stunned faces seemed to have seen the most incredible thing in their lives.
The nobody, who was named Li Guang, not only hit the handle of the halberd with an arrow, but also split Lu Bu's arrow in half with an arrow!
This kind of archery is simply appalling, magical to the extreme.
"It's worthy of Li Guang, my 80 points of benevolence and 3 charm points are really not ......in vain" Only the potter was indifferent, and a pleased smile appeared on his young face.
After the deathly silence, the two sergeants suddenly woke up, and there was an uproar.
"It seems that this Li Guang under my command really has some ability, looking at this result, it seems that his archery skills are still slightly better than Wen Hou you." The potter looked at Lu Bu with a sly smile that the "conspiracy" had succeeded.
Although both of his arrows hit the halberd handle, Li Guang's arrow only hit the halberd handle after shooting through Lu Bu's arrow, which is obviously more difficult, there is no doubt that Tao won the archery competition.
Only then did Lu Bu come back to his senses, suppressed his shock, secretly gritted his teeth, and glared at the potter with an angry expression.
Proud of himself, he shot an arrow, and he is confident that his archery skills are unrivaled in the world.
And now, a nobody, pretending to be an ancient, not only completed an arrow as miraculous as he did, but even shot through his arrow and surpassed him.
Lu Bu was shocked, shocked that there was such a marksman under the command of the potter, and he was even more annoyed, feeling that he had fallen into the trap of the potter, and was openly played by the potter.
Although Lu Bu was confused and annoyed, he had to admit the fact that he had lost, in front of so many people, if he openly broke his word and spread it, how would his gentle face remain.
So, after a little weighing, Lu Bu took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed the anger in his chest, and sneered: "Brother Tao Xian, I didn't expect that there would be such a Hidden Dragon and Crouching Tiger under your command, this arrow is really worthy of Li Guang's name, Ben Hou is an eye-opener today." ”
The potter smiled modestly, "Wen Hou has won the award, it seems that Wen Hou also admitted that I won, but I don't know if Wen Hou will keep his promise and no longer defend the big-eared thief." ”
As he spoke, his murderous gaze shot at Liu Bei, who looked panicked next to Lu Bu.
Liu Bei looked at Lu Bu anxiously, his expression was full of begging, hoping that Lu Bu would break the contract, and even became angry on the spot and fought with the potter.
It's a pity that he underestimated Lu Bu.
Lu Bu is not the kind of simple-minded martial artist, he weighs it very clearly, between protecting Liu Bei and turning his face with the potter, and being ridiculed by the world for his untrustworthy words, which one is heavier.
After only pondering for a moment, Lu Bu only had a ruthless determination in his eyes, and said coldly: "Ben Hou said a long time ago that it is up to heaven to make a decision, since this is the will of heaven, how can Ben Hou disobey it, after today, even if the two of you fight, Ben Hou will not favor either side." ”
It seems that Lu Bu is indeed a person who can afford to lose......
Tao Shang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "Wen Hou is really a gentleman who is true to his word, far better than some hypocrites who are hypocritical, then Tao thanked Wen Hou for giving me the head of the big-eared thief." ”
The potter was laughing here, but Liu Bei on the other side even had the heart to cry.
"Wen Hou, you promised to protect everything, how can you ......?"
Liu Bei, who was disappointed and panicked, excitedly wanted to persuade him, but Lu Bu waved his hand and said coldly: "Liu Xuande, you have also seen it, it's not that Ben Hou doesn't want to save you, but that the will of God is difficult to disobey, you know what to do." ”
After that, Lu Bu ordered the soldiers to take back his Fang Tian painting halberd, and without further words, he turned around and walked towards Xiapi.
Liu Bei had no choice but to retreat with Lu Bu, and rushed straight to his own military camp in the southwest of Xiapicheng, rushing to join the two brothers of Guan and Zhang.
Now that he had lost Lu Bu's protection, and the potter's army was close at hand, he could only rely on himself.
This meeting ended with a complete victory for the potter, who not only got a general like Li Guang with marksmanship skills, but also overwhelmed Lu Bu's prestige, forcing Lu Bu to give up protecting Liu Bei, which can be said to be a complete victory.
At the end of the meeting, the potter did not hesitate, and immediately turned his horse back to the camp, preparing to attack Liu Bei with troops.
……
Xiapi City.
Lu Bu was the closest to the city, and with a stomach full of breath, he returned to the city first.
Zhang Liao, Chen Gong, and Lu Lingji and other civil and military officers waited on the city tower early in the morning, waiting for the results of Lu Bu's meeting.
When Lu Bu entered the city, he had just climbed the city tower with his front feet, and Lu Lingji couldn't wait to ask: "Father, that kid from the potter can be frightened by the power of his father, and retreat back to the East China Sea." ”
"Miss, this potter is not as timid as a mouse, I'm afraid he won't be scared away so easily." Zhang Liao reminded him from the side.
Lu Lingji's eyes widened, her little face was suddenly displeased, and she pouted and said, "Uncle Wen Yuan, you always say that kid is not simple, I don't see anything great about him." ”
The eldest lady lost her temper, and Zhang Liao didn't say anything more, so she only smiled.
"Lingji, what your Uncle Wen Yuan said is right, this potter is not a fuel-efficient lamp, his father didn't believe it before, but today he gave his father a big surprise." Lu Bu also agreed with Zhang Liao's evaluation, and his tone actually added a little respect for the potter.
Lu Bu is very proud of himself in front of him, and there are very few people in the world who can be appreciated and evaluated by Lu Bu.
Lu Lingji and the others couldn't help but be surprised when they heard that Lu Bu was actually a potter, and Lu Lingji even urged to ask what happened at the meeting.
Although Lu Bu was very unhappy that he was beaten by the potter, he was not a hypocrite, so he explained how he could compare the potter with the arrow, and how the potter's subordinate general Li Guang had archery magic, and calmly said to his daughter and a group of generals.
"What, under that kid's command, there are still people who are better than their father's archery skills?" Lu Lingji blurted out an exclamation, and her pretty face was instantly filled with an expression of disbelief.
The left and right civil and military forces were also surprised, especially the military attaches such as Zhang Liao and Gao Shun, who were even more surprised.
Chen Gong and other strategists followed Lu Bu for a long time, but Zhang Liao and other generals have followed Lu Bu since the annexation of the state, and they know that Lu Bu's archery skills are exquisite, not only are they beyond their reach, but they are only afraid of meeting opponents when they look at the world.
Although Zhang Liao did not dare to despise the pottery merchant, he never expected that under the pottery merchant, there was a figure whose archery skills were better than Lu Bu.
Invisibly, the potter brought a greater shock to Zhang Liao's heart.
"When the subordinates served in the state, I heard that when the potters were doing the order of Haixi County, they built a martial arts hall to train a group of talented martial artists and scholars, and selected the outstanding ones, and changed the names of the ancients for them, so that these people took on important responsibilities and served him.
The speaker is Chen Deng, who is an indigenous scholar of Xuzhou, and he knows much more about the details of the potters than they are in Lu Bu Chen Palace.
"This martial arts hall is really so powerful?" Lu Lingji fluttered her eyelashes, still suspicious.
Chen Deng nodded, "It's really so powerful, not only Chen Ping, but also Lian Po and Fan Xu under his command are all from this martial arts hall, and it is said that his wife Hua Mulan has also practiced in the martial arts hall, and today's Li Guang is probably no exception." ”
After a pause, Chen Deng continued: "However, there are also rumors that the pottery merchant is very deep in the city, as early as when Tao Lian was the state pastor, he pretended to be incompetent on the surface, but secretly searched for those strange hermits hidden in the folk mountains and wilderness as guests. ”
"Ben Hou is not mistaken, this potter is really a character." Lu Bu nodded slightly, as if he admired his own judgment, but said strangely: "It's just that the pottery merchant has this ability, why should he pretend to be incompetent in front of his father Tao Qian, so that Tao Qian passed on the position of state pastor to Liu Bei?" ”
"Well...... The potter's behavior has always been unpredictable, and to be honest, his subordinates can't guess what he thinks. Chen Deng sighed.
On the tower of the city, Lu Bu's civil and military staff were all immersed in the wonder of the potter.
At this time, Zhang Liao remembered what was going on, and sighed: "I originally wanted to use Liu Bei to sit firmly in Xuzhou, but I didn't expect such an accident to happen, lord, do we really care about Liu Xuande." ”
The corners of Lu Bu's mouth swept a cold sneer, "Although Liu Bei was defeated, there were at least more than a thousand soldiers and horses under his command, and it was not a moment for the pottery merchant to break through his camp, when he concentrated all his strength to attack Liu Bei, Ben Hou could take advantage of his unpreparedness and give him a hard blow from behind, and he could eradicate Liu Bei and the pottery merchant together, and then who could stop Ben Hou from swallowing Xuzhou alone." ”
