Chapter Seventy-Eight: Three Arrows Fired at the Same Time
The autumn wind was bleak, the cold wind hit, and the autumn of the eighth year of the great cause finally passed. It's been a month since Yu Wenming returned to the Eastern Capital. After meeting his family and friends, he locked himself in the martial arts arena in the backyard and practiced archery hard. After the expedition to Goryeo, he knew all too well the importance of archery. Able to shoot the enemy from afar, he never wanted to engage in close combat with the enemy.
Because he knows very well that after close combat, enemies are pouring in from all directions, and countless swords and spears greet you, no matter how strong your martial arts are, it is inevitable that you will be sparse.
And what especially made him feel a little unfair was that Senior Sister Red Sleeve could shoot three arrows at a time, and the arrows hit the target, but he could only shoot two arrows at a time. Although it is not impossible for him to shoot three arrows at the same time, there is no guarantee that all three arrows will be missed. This shows that there is still a big gap between himself and his senior sister in archery.
In the martial arts arena in the backyard, Yu Wenming is still bending his bow and arrows, repeating aiming and shooting. Although he already felt some soreness in his arms, his eyes were also wet with sweat. But he still refused to stop and rest.
He already felt that he had touched that layer of diaphragm, and he only needed to increase his strength to reach the ideal realm of three arrows at once.
After taking a deep breath, Yu Wenming pulled out three wolf tooth arrows from the quiver on his back again, and then put them on the bowstring one by one.
The bow he is using now was given to him by Yang Guang, and it is a three-stone curved bow named Zhuyue. Although it is indeed a rare good bow, it is too disproportionate compared to his merits.
It has been a month since he returned to the Eastern Capital, and the imperial court has not yet announced his reward. The rest of the family has already announced their rewards. It's not rich, but it's also a joy for them. And he, who is recognized as the person with the most meritorious contributions, only got a good curved bow and a thousand copper coins, which inevitably makes some people with good deeds wonder if Yu Wenming has offended the saint and made him so snubbed.
After squeezing the distracting thoughts in his heart out of his mind, Yu Wenming looked at the six directions, aimed the arrows of the three sharp arrows at the three arrow targets one by one, and then concentrated his mind on one line......
"Looks like I've found that feeling!" Yu Wenming silently chanted in his heart, and then loosened the bowstring.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!" Listening to only three arrows, the three wolf's tooth arrows were like lightning, galloping out, and then "boom, boom, boom", accurately hitting the hearts of the three arrow targets.
"Finally it worked! Break through the barrier in that heart! Archery can finally be understood on an equal footing with the senior sister" Yu Wenming was overjoyed in his heart, he wiped his sweat with his sleeve, and was about to step forward to pull out the wolf tooth arrow on the arrow target, and then put the bow home, but suddenly heard a coquettish laughter: "Brother Ming, so hard?" Practicing archery as soon as you come back? You haven't been shopping with me in days! ”
Yu Wenming didn't have to look back, just listening to that sweet voice, he knew that it was the eldest grandson Wujian who came. Only she and the eldest grandson Wuji, brother and sister, can go directly to the small courtyard where they live without being notified by the porter.
At this time, he hurriedly turned around and explained to the eldest grandson, Wuji: "Sister Wuji, I only accompanied you to the Luo River once a few days ago!" These days, I want to break through the archery technique in retreat, so I didn't come to you......"
"Alright, alright! Know you're a busy man! Brother Ming, seeing that you seem to have made a breakthrough, you must be able to relax a little...... Let's go! Today I'm taking you to a new place to play! It will open your eyes! The eldest grandson pulled him up, and then walked out of the house.
"Innocent, why don't you let me change my clothes and put down my bow and arrows! There's no way I'm going to just walk out like this! Yu Wenming couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"Alright! Then hurry up and change your clothes! To be honest, after coming back from Liaodong, you haven't been shopping with me properly! I can't let you go today! You've got to have a good time with me! The eldest grandson Wujian pulled his sleeve and said with a coquettish face.
When Yu Wenming heard that he was shopping again, he couldn't help but look like earth, all men regard shopping as a kind of pain, but women regard men's pain as fun. However, there was a deep love and hatred between him and the eldest grandson Wuji, and in desperation, he had to do as he was told.
After a while, Yu Wenming Fang wore a set of white and blue-edged brocade clothes, a purple and gold crown with inlaid hair, a colorful long spike ribbon, and a pair of black green forging small court boots, and slowly walked out of his bedroom.
The eldest grandson Wujian was already waiting at the door, and when he saw Yu Wenming coming out, he was also stunned. I saw that his face was like a crown of jade, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, red lips and white teeth, and his appearance was handsome and abnormal, he was completely a handsome and handsome son of a family.
Yu Wenming walked out of the door, and saw the eldest grandson Wujian with a pair of apricot eyes wide but he was in a daze, and asked a little strangely: "Wuji, why are you in a daze?" Do I have stains on my face? ”
The eldest grandson Wujian woke up like a dream, grabbed his arm, and said coquettishly: "Brother Ming, I almost can't recognize you when you dress like this!" Where do you still look like the warrior who charged into battle and shot the general of the Goryeo army with one arrow! This kind of dress is in line with your Luoyang genius identity! ”
Her voice is delicate, and her little face is also full of bright smiles, which is extremely charming and moving, so that Yu Wenming can't help but feel a slight wave in her heart. He took the eldest grandson's innocent and soft delicate body into his arms and kissed her heavily on her ruddy little mouth.
The eldest grandson Wujian only felt that his body was weak, and his delicate body seemed to be boneless, and he fell into Yu Wenming's arms......
After the two of them warmed up, Yu Wenming let go of her, and then the eldest grandson Wujian jumped and led Yu Wenming to the metropolis of West Street.
The city is different from the Liren City, which Yu Wenming went to for a long time, mainly selling all kinds of luxury goods and goods shipped from the Western Regions, Japan, Silla, Nanzhao and other places, and most of the people who come here to shop are the children of wealthy families or high-ranking officials.
Walking on the streets of the metropolis, there are all the children of richly dressed families, or the women of the official gentry, who are obviously more arrogant when they walk.
Not far from the corner, there is a newly built house with a large area and a round spire, which looks quite exotic, and there are some crooked words written on the lintel of the house that Yu Wenming cannot recognize.
"Brother Ming, do you remember the Great Food Envoy three years ago? After he returned, he reported to the king of the Great Food and decided that the two countries would exchange trade. Now there are many big food merchants in the eastern capital, and they have built a big house on this West Street, and all the big food merchants are concentrated in it to sell things. From snacks and pastries, clothes and veils, to all kinds of jewelry, shoes and hats, it can be said that there is everything......" The eldest grandson took his hand and walked towards the big domed house.
"Uh, that's good! It's really better to sell things together than to spread them out! Yu Wenming also said approvingly. I think this is similar to the Chinatown and Chinatown built by the Chinese in foreign countries in later generations.
"Huh? What a beautiful jade bracelet! ”
As soon as the two of them walked into the gate of this house, the eldest grandson Wujian was pretty eyes lit up, and suddenly walked over quickly with broken steps.
When she came, she found that a stall in front of her was selling bracelets, jade pendants, earrings, necklaces and other ornaments from her daughter's family. There is a unique exotic style, which makes the eldest grandson Wuji, who is used to seeing ordinary ornaments, naturally very interested.
The eldest grandson is in the innocent phase of a pair of jade bracelets. The color of this pair of jade bracelets is not like the jade bracelets of the Central Plains, which are mostly blue and white, but bright red like fire, shining in the sun. And on this jade bracelet, there are also carved two cute cats, the appearance is very cute, lifelike at a glance, the idea is ingenious, and it makes people stunning.
However, the eldest grandson Wujian just stretched out his hand to grab the pair of jade bracelets, and at the same time, there were also a pair of white and delicate, jade-like, orchid-like delicate soft lichens stretched out, and the two jade hands touched the pair of jade bracelets at the same time.
The two girls then grabbed the bracelets of the two jade bracelets with each hand and looked at each other.
The eldest grandson Wujian was wearing a green plain brocade dress, with a flowing sea on his head, and a bit of girlish childishness in his eyebrows. The woman opposite was about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a green hosta on her head, a pink dress, a thin blue cloak on the outside, and a peach-colored purse in her hand.
Although she is only two or three years older than the eldest grandson Wuji, this girl is pink-faced and peach-cheeked, and her every move is quite charming, and her face is also very beautiful, not inferior to the eldest grandson Wuji.
If you want to compare the two girls, the eldest grandson Wujian can be regarded as a green and unripe green apple, and this girl is a ripe and delicious peach.
Seeing each other's appearance and dress clearly, a touch of disdain flashed in the eyes of the two girls at the same time, and the two girls began to compete.
