With just a "whoosh", the arrow was fiercely fixed in the red heart fifty paces away. Zhang Yan grew his mouth, "Okay, it's amazing!" I've heard of someone who can wear a poplar in a hundred steps, and I thought it was fake, so it's possible! ”

Zong Zhengyang laughed, "Actually, it's also possible, my brother can wear Yang in a hundred steps, and my ability is not as good as half of his!" Zong Zheng Yangqing handed the bow to Zhang Yan, "You try it too, I'll teach you!" ”

Immediately, there was a small yellow doorman bow next to him who came up to An Suixuan, An Sui looked at it and chose the most ordinary Lianyun bow, "That's it!" ”

An Sui took the bow and tried to pull it a few times, she hadn't touched the bow and arrow for a long time, but as soon as she got it, she still felt a very familiar feeling. Draw your bow and arrow, aim it at the target, and let go, and the next moment you see the arrow left on the edge of the bull's-eye.

An Sui breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, the ability when he was a child was not completely forgotten.

Zong Zheng Yangqing hurriedly applauded, "What a powerful archery!" It's just that I'm a little rusty on weekdays! ”

An Sui smiled slightly, "The county lord can also see this?" ”

Zong Zheng Yangqing gently stroked the broken hair, "Just look at the adult's body, you can be regarded as half a martial arts person, but you haven't used a bow and arrow all year round!" Zong Zheng Yangqing took the Lianyun bow in An Sui's hand, "This bow and arrow is very ordinary, and it is not bad to be able to shoot such an arrow." ”

Zong Zheng Yangqing glanced at the little yellow door behind him, "Go, take the bow I usually use to pick one for Lord An!" ”

"No need, Wechen is just having fun."

Zong Zheng Yangqing disagreed, "That's not good, this good archery must be matched with a good bow, although the Lianyun bow is easy to use, but later it is very limited to the archeryman's archery." Before I came to the capital, I deceived several excellent bows from my brother, most of the people in this palace don't know how to play bows and arrows, it's really boring, it's rare to meet An Daren's archery is so good, it's the same as a sword with a hero, I'll give you one, don't be polite to me! Otherwise, I'll turn my face! Zong Zheng Yangqing pretended to be angry and frowned tightly, "Did you hear that?" ”

An Sui couldn't help but laugh when he saw her like this, "Okay, I accept it." ”

Several small yellow doors brought up several bows, and An Sui looked carefully, each bow was a very rare top grade.

According to the records of "Examination of the Gongji and the Bow Man", the first thing to look at in bow making is the material, and there are six basic materials, which are called "six materials": "dry, angle, tendon, glue, silk, and lacquer". The functions of the "six materials" are also different, "those who do it are far away; Those who are horned are also thought to be sick; Those who have tendons think they are deep; Those who glue also, think that they are harmonious; Those who are silk also think that they are solid; Those who paint also think that they are subject to frost and dew."

The tendons, the tendons of the animal, stick to the outside of the bow arm. The role of tendons and horns. It is to enhance the elasticity of the bow arm, so that the arrow is more powerful when it is shot, and the object is more profound. The selection of tendons should be small and long, and the large ones should be round and moist. Glue, i.e. animal glue, is used to bond dry materials and corner bars.

Six kinds of glue are recommended in the "Examination Record", such as deer glue, horse glue, bovine glue, mouse glue, fish glue, and rhino glue.

Bow making has very strict requirements for materials, and there are detailed regulations for specific process steps. "Take the six materials must be the time, the six materials are gathered, and the ingenuity is it.

Analyze the bow trunk in winter, treat the horns in the spring, treat the tendons in the summer, close the materials in the autumn, put the bow arm in the bow box in the cold winter, and repair the appearance in the severe winter.

Each of the six bows that Zong Zheng Yangqing took out was the top grade of the bow, and An chose a bow with horns.

The horn is two feet long and five inches, and the three colors are not unreasonable. It is called a cow and a cow, which is the best horn material.

Zong Zheng Yangqing saw An Suixuan's bow and hurriedly said, "The name of this bow is Shengfeng Bow, and its name means that the bow is fast and victorious of the wind." However, this bow is not the best. ”

An Sui liked this bow very much, and shook his head gently, "Although this bow is not the best, it is the most suitable for Wei Chen." Weichen knows that his strength is insufficient, and he doesn't have to win with strength, but it is better to win with speed. The workmanship of this bow is also very exquisite. ”

In winter, the dry wood of the bow is naturally smooth and fine; In spring, it is naturally moist and soft; In summer, you will not be entangled; In autumn, all the materials are closed, and the white is tight; If the bow body is fixed in winter, the bow will not be deformed; In the severe winter and extreme cold, the glue and paint are completely dry and solid, so the appearance can be repaired. Putting on the bowstring in the spring and hiding it for another year made this victory bow.

Zong Zheng Yangqing selected a few good arrows from the quiver behind him and placed them in the quiver behind An Sui, "Lord An try it, is this bow still satisfactory?" ”

An Sui turned around and shot an arrow at a target not far away, and the arrow hit the bull's-eye and nailed straight into the red heart.

Zhang Yan saw it on the side, and was very envious, and exclaimed loudly, "Lord An, you are so powerful!" ”

An Sui smiled, "Don't envy me, since you want to practice archery, then practice well, if you have a chance tomorrow, you can beg the emperor to let you try it too." ”

Zhang Yan pouted, "At the level of the lower officials, let alone playing, it is archery, and it feels ashamed to use it for archery entertainment casually!" ”

"I'll help you!" Zong Zheng Yangqing walked behind Zhang Yan and held her waist, "Come, the waist is straight, when shooting arrows, you must use the power of your waist at the same time, so that the arrows will be powerful." ”

Zong Zheng Yangqing helped Zhang Yan and shot the arrow suddenly, the arrow immediately left the string and nailed into the target, Zong Zheng Yangqing immediately encouraged, "That's it, Master Zhang did a good job, just find this feeling and practice more." ”

Suddenly, Xinzhi ran over, "Lord An, you are in the school field!" That's just right, the emperor asked Lord An to come over. ”

When Zong Zheng Yangqing heard this, he said curiously, "What, is the emperor also in the school?" ”

Xin Zhi ran too quickly, and he didn't see clearly that the person in front of him was Zong Zheng Yangqing, and when he saw it clearly, he quickly knelt down and saluted, "The slave has seen the county lord!" ”

"Get up!" Zong Zheng Yangqing was a little disappointed when he saw Xinzhi Xingli, "Okay, you get up and talk back!" This palace asks you, is the emperor also in the school grounds? ”

"Yes, King Tang invited the emperor to join him in the school field! So let the servants come and invite Lord An to serve. ”

"The emperor is really good to Lord An! It's good that it's not possible to do without the service of Lord An for a while.,Originally, the palace still wanted to learn from Lord An.,It seems that it can only be another day.。 ”

An Sui was shocked when he heard Zong Zheng Yangqing's words, and his eyes couldn't help but look at Zong Zheng Yangqing, but Zong Zheng Yangqing's expression was as usual, and he also had an innocent smile on his face, and he couldn't see the slightest intention, or what he wanted to hint at between words.

Xinzhi could only laugh dryly twice, "They are all servants who are not attentive, and their words are coarse." ”

Zong Zhengyang laughed, "Then Lord An, let's go quickly!" Don't let the emperor wait in a hurry, this palace is going to practice archery, and I'll ask Lord An for advice another day. ”

Zong Zhengyang walked away with a smile, it really looked like a daughter who had been cared for and raised, she had no city in her heart, her temperament was refreshing, a little bit spicy and petty, but it didn't make people feel unreasonable at all. There's even a little bit of wildness in the personality, which is a good attraction for any man.

It's just that An Sui thinks that maybe Zongzheng Yangqing may not be as pure as she seems on the surface, she is a pawn selected into the palace by the queen or the Zongzheng family, as a chess piece, how can she really be so naïve and romantic.

An Sui hadn't seen Ji Xuanjia for a long, long time, he had been traveling for several years, and the wind and dust had left a little mark on his face, but he looked more and more cold. Life outside the capital sharpened his will, and also sharpened his edges and corners.

If she is his eldest sister, she is very happy to see that Ji Xuanjia has grown more and more into a man who stands up to the sky. However, as an emcee, more often than not, what she feels is more crisis and uneasiness.

A few pigeons swept overhead, only to see Ji Xuanjia with a bow and arrows, "whoosh" twice, and then saw the pigeon fall in response to the sound and landed directly at An Sui's feet.

An Sui looked at Ji Xuanjia, he only landed at her feet once, and never looked at her again, and a few pigeons, I couldn't tell whether they were provoking or demonstrating.

"Lord An is so bold, if an ordinary woman sees a dead thing falling straight at her feet, I'm afraid she would have been frightened and screamed again and again! But it's still a blessing for the emperor, and the original minister has always wondered why the emperor wants to reuse female officials. Now that I see Lord An, I can figure it out, this government is so cumbersome and complicated, but if you get a red sleeve and incense on the side, no matter how tricky the political affairs are, it is a hundred times better than the fairyland on earth, yes or no? ”

The person who spoke was Xinghou Ji Xuantu, who could also be regarded as Ji Xuanyuan's cousin, and was an idle child of the clan.

Ji Xuantu is not the same person as Ji Xuanyuan and Ji Xuanjia, and he is also peaceful, and he has heard of this person in the palace in the past, he likes to joke, and he does not have the shelves of princes, even in the palace, he can talk and laugh with the palace maids. It's a pity that he is the concubine of King Xing, so when he inherited the title, he could only be forced to be demoted to Marquis Xing.

Ji Xuantu didn't say this to An Sui too formally, but it was a bit of a serious joke. Ji Xuanyuan glanced at An Sui and smiled at Ji Xuantu, "Cousin, don't make fun of me." An Sui is not an ordinary female officer, as you said, if an ordinary woman sees this pigeon arrow landing in front of her eyes, she must be frightened. ”

"That's why the emperor believes in Lord An so much, even in the school field, he has to let Lord An accompany him." Ji Xuantu squinted his eyes as he spoke, looking An Sui up and down, as if he wanted to see An Sui through.

But she didn't want her to see An Sui's eyes, but she felt as if there was a hidden power that attracted him to lose his mind, but when she looked at it again, she felt that those eyes were really beautiful, like an ancient spring that had been sealed for a long time, which made people can't help but yearn for it. He couldn't help but think in his heart, this female official is really unusual!
