Twenty miles out of the city, across the Ba Shui, there is a dense forest, along the dense forest path to the end, there is a mountain, the mountain has a small mouth, covering the dense forest, re-entering, suddenly opened, it is a valley.

I went out in the morning, tossed here, and it was almost noon. But the group didn't feel tired at all, Li Mu was excited because he saw his valley for the first time, and Li Chengqian and the students of Chongwen Hall were like a group of birds out of the cage, eager to fly high, it was too late to rejoice, where would they feel tired.

There is only one person, who is really tired, he is not only tired, but also about to fall apart, this person's surname is Kong Yingda, he was coerced this morning, bumpy all the way, and the bile is about to be vomited.

"Li Mu, you didn't say you wanted to go to class, why did you come to this kind of wilderness? The prince's status is noble, and these students are also very human, in case of an accident, can you afford it? The old man can't indulge you anymore, the old man will refer to you, I want to join you-gag!! ”

Li Mu jumped down from the carriage, patted Kong Yingda on the back, and said: "Old Kong, if I were you, I wouldn't say such things now, you also know that it is a barren mountain and a wild mountain, in case I am in a bad mood and kill you, bury it on the spot - do you guess anyone will know?" ”

Kong Yingda's face turned green, and she exclaimed, "You dare to threaten the old man?" ”

"I dare to kidnap you, why wouldn't I dare?" Li Mu chuckled lightly and said, "Besides, Lao Kong, I can bring these students here, and I have something to do with you." If you don't agree, how can I bring it out? ”

Kong Yingda gritted his teeth and said, "I was deceived by you!" ”

"Who's that? You're stupid. Li Mu grinned, turned around and shouted at the students: "One bow and ten arrows per person." Today's rule is that you can only eat your own prey, and if you can't catch your prey, you will be hungry, and you deserve to starve to death, do you understand? ”

"Got it!" The students were eager to try.

Li Mu waved his hand to Li Chongyi, and Li Chongyi understood and went to distribute bows and arrows to the students. Kong Yingda watched from the side, his heart was pinched, and he muttered to himself: "If this hurts one, how can I explain it, if this hurts the prince, how should I face Your Majesty-"

Li Mu took a bow and arrow, handed it to Kong Yingda, and said, "Old Kong, are you going hunting?" ”

Kong Yingda pushed it back and said angrily: "The old man doesn't know how to bow and arrow!" ”

"That's not right," Li Mu teased: "Lao Kong, among the six arts of a gentleman, there is the item of 'shooting', you can't, it's really ashamed of your ancestors." ”

Kong Yingda glared at the beads and argued: "The six arts of a gentleman are courtesy. Shoot the white arrow, the senlian, the note, the ruler, the well, it is-"

"Okay, okay, don't drop your bookbag with me, no, no, what's the explanation." Li Mu threw the bow and arrow back to Li Chongyi, and said: "Anyway, the rules are set, when you come out today, you can only eat the prey you hunt, you don't know how to bow and arrow, take a shovel and dig a trap, otherwise you will be hungry." ”

"The old man would rather be hungry!"

"Then you're hungry, scaring anyone." Li Mu snorted, threw Kong Yingda down, and boarded the carriage again.

In the valley, although it is not as cold as outside the valley, it is also cold and windy. Kong Yingda's clothes were worn by the students in the palace, and they couldn't withstand the cold wind, and he was not like Li Mu, who was wearing a tiger skin fur that was not intrusive in the cold and heat, and after standing for a while, he shivered a little.

Kong Yingda looked at Li Mu's carriage, and had some backbone, but when he thought about it, he wouldn't care what kind of backbone he wanted from Li Mu and others. After hesitating in his heart, this bit of backbone was discharged, he shrunk his hand in his sleeve and climbed into Li Mu's carriage.

Li Mu's carriage is wide, not to mention sitting one more person, there is no problem with three or four more people. Kong Yingda got into the car, thinking that he would be ridiculed by Li Mu, but to his surprise, Li Mu saw him get in the car, just glanced at it, and then lowered his head and continued to tinker with the machine in his hand.

Seeing that Li Mu couldn't stop tinkering with the things in his hand, Kong Yingda was also a little curious, he stared at it for a while, frowned and said uncertainly: "This is Zhuge crossbow?" ”

"Yo!" Li Mu was quite surprised, raised his head and said, "Old Kong, do you actually recognize it?" ”

"Guess, it's quite similar to what is recorded in the book." Kong Yingda had a straight face, not happy because of Li Mu's praise, glanced at it twice, and said; "The Zhuge crossbow has been lost since the Wei and Jin dynasties, and the crossbow you made is not good, but don't make it in vain."

Li Mu stuck the last spring into position, calibrated the crossbow arm, and said, "Old Kong, you can doubt me anything, but you can't doubt my technique." When did the things I Li Mu make have been in vain? ”

"The old man just doesn't believe that everything you make is suitable."

Li Mu smiled and said, "That's right for you, not everything is suitable, but I won't take it out if it doesn't." ”

“……”

Li Mu buckled the 'arrow box', stuffed ten short arrows into the arrow box, handed it to Kong Yingda, and said, "Old Kong, with my sharp weapon, you will definitely be able to hunt things, don't you try?" ”

"The old man doesn't try!" Kong Yingda said angrily: "Li Mu, you did it on purpose today, where are you going to class, you are tossing the old man, you are just messing around with the students." ”

Li Mu raised his eyebrows and said, "Lao Kong, if my education method is seen through by you, "Shi Shuo" will be written by you. ”

"You!" Kong Yingda was so angry that his beard was curled, and he snorted: "The old man will wait and see." ”

"Just look at it." Li Mu said and jumped out of the carriage. It just so happened that at this time, the students who had already shot ten arrows had returned, including Li Chengqian.

At this time, the suburbs, unlike later generations, could not even see a bird. In this valley, there are all birds and beasts, if the expert in archery is here, how can ten arrows get three or five prey, but it is difficult for these young people who have been clothed and fed from a young age. Li Mu looked at the things in the hands of these returnees, if they were lucky, they could hunt pheasants and hares, and if they were unlucky, just like Li Chengqian, they didn't get a single hair.

"You bunch of shit!" Li Mu came to the dejected crowd and scolded unceremoniously: "Shoot very fast, what about the prey?" Just a few pheasants and hares, is it enough to stuff your teeth? And you! Li Mu looked at Li Chengqian and said, "I keep saying that you want to be a general, I thought you could have some ability, what about your prey?" There is not a single hair, so do this general? ”

"Almost! If I had one more arrow, I would have hit that hare!" ”

"On the battlefield, things are changing rapidly, and you know that when you really face off, it's good for an archer to have ten arrows, and more often than not, five arrows! Even if there is, it is not as good as the one you use, the arrows and feathers are complete, many of them are bald, and there are no clusters of arrows, and you can use it to sharpen a knife with a knife, and you will not kill the enemy? ”

Li Mu glanced at everyone and reprimanded: "Your fathers, one is counted as one, and they are all on the battlefield. Which one can't pull a bow and shoot an arrow? Look at you again, ten arrows can't shoot your prey, and you still have the face standing in front of me? ”

After the range attack was completed, Li Mu aimed at Li Chengqian and output firepower, and said: "Chengqian, it's okay if others can't shoot, maybe they don't have talent, but if you can't shoot, it's definitely your own problem!" ”

"In the past, Empress Dou's father, Dou Yi, was in the Shangzhu Kingdom in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and he thought that his daughter was not an idle person and could not marry ordinary people. So I thought of a way to draw two peacocks on the door screen, and whoever shot one peacock in the eye with two arrows would be recruited as a son-in-law. Dozens of people didn't shoot, and it was the turn of the Emperor Taishang to try to shoot, and he shot two arrows in a row. When the Emperor Taishang was young, he had the ability to pierce Yang in a hundred steps, not to mention His Majesty, at the age of fifteen, he led the army to the expedition, and he could pull his bow and kill the enemy with his eyes closed, how did he come to you, he couldn't even shoot a rabbit, what kind of face do you have, Li Chengqian! ”

Li Chengqian lowered his head in shame, clenched his fists tightly, and said, "Big brother, I will definitely practice hard!" ”

"Just know your shortcomings." Li Mu scolded too much, picked up the Zhuge crossbow, and said, "Come with me, big brother will show you my latest invention." ”

"What is the latest invention, I want to see it too."

When Li Mu heard this familiar voice, his body stiffened, and he slowly turned around, and saw Li Shimin with a sinking face, followed by Gao Gonggong, and then looked back, a team of Xuanjia forbidden troops, although separated by some distance, still looked palpitating.

Everyone hurriedly bowed down, Li Shimin came to Li Mu, and said angrily: "Li Mu, you are so bold, you dare to get the prince to this wilderness without my permission, how many heads do you have?" How dare you be so presumptuous! ”

"Your Majesty, this is to teach the crown prince. This is a matter that the minister discussed with the Confucian Sacrifice Wine, why, didn't the Confucian Sacrifice Wine ask you for instructions? This old hole is really old and confused! ”

"Heh, put the blame on Kong Yingda." Li Shimin was prepared, as soon as he stretched out his hand, Gao Gonggong hurriedly handed over a folded note, and Li Shimin threw the note to Li Mu, which was Kong Yingda's handwriting.

Li Mu couldn't help but be annoyed, he didn't expect Lao Kong to have this hand.

At this time, Kong Yingda also heard the voice and got down from the carriage, and when he saw Li Shimin, as if he had seen a savior, he hurriedly bowed down: "Your Majesty, have you seen the note from the minister?" Li Mu is so bold and reckless, he actually coerced the prince and the students of Chongwen Pavilion, he can't escape the blame! ”

"He said it was for teaching," Li Shimin looked at Li Mu with a smile, and said: "Boy, I give you a chance, if you can teach something serious, I will treat you as teaching, otherwise you will be coerced by the prince, and the blame will not escape, and I will have to punish you." ”

"Of course, the minister is teaching, and the minister wants to teach the prince a set of military exercises." Li Mu said stubbornly, in fact, he was already panicked in his heart. He brought Li Chengqian out today, in fact, mainly because he wanted to come to see this valley, and by the way, to test the power of Zhuge crossbow, and at the same time, poor Li Chengqian was always holding back in the East Palace, taking him out to let off steam, and by the way, he gave him a set of military chess that he had carved idlely.

What Li Mu said about the 'method of military exercise' is military chess. Of course, the chess pieces have been slightly changed, and the modern titles of commander, army commander, and division commander have been removed, and they have been replaced by more understandable titles such as general, general, general, captain, team leader, gang commander, and even chief. Bombs and mines have also been changed to 'sky fire' and 'pits', and their effects are the same.

Li Mu himself didn't know if this was a military exercise, but for eleven or twelve-year-old boys, it was certain that it would be fun. Now that Li Shimin asked, Li Mu had no choice but to take out the military chess and hand it over, but he didn't expect the effect to be extraordinary, this set of military chess not only attracted the attention of Li Chengqian and other Chongwenguan students, but even Li Shimin fell into it and had a lot of fun. With him playing, the other children could only watch, Li Mu was a little blind, and reluctantly reminded in a low voice: "Your Majesty, it's almost, this is for the prince, used to learn military exercises, not a toy." ”

"It's really interesting." Li Shimin put down the chess pieces with some unfinished feelings, and said: "Although this thing can't penetrate the changes of the battlefield, it is a rare good thing for beginners. In particular, the 'dark chess' gameplay is deeply integrated with the essence of the arrangement, wonderful! Li Mu, you haven't led soldiers, how did you come up with it? ”

Li Mu coughed lightly and said modestly: "Your Majesty, the minister has just read through the "Sun Bin Art of War" a few times, and it is still very rough, and when he has time, the minister will study it again." ”

"It's already good." Li Shimin rubbed the chess pieces, but he couldn't hold back, and said: "You also engrave a pair and give it to me, I have nothing to do, and I will also come to study and study, maybe I don't know if I can make your chess set go further." ”

What else could Li Mu say, so he had to agree. Li Shimin played again, and the dark chess killed Li Mu to the point that he didn't leave a piece of armor, and then he was satisfied with dropping the chess pieces and giving them to Li Chengqian and his classmates.

"This is the Zhuge crossbow?" Li Shimin had already noticed the crossbow arrow in Li Mu's hand, reached out and took it, and looked at it carefully. He has been fighting horses all his life, and he has seen almost every kind of ordnance, but this Zhuge crossbow, this is the first time he has seen the real thing. The finesse of the construction is breathtaking.

"Can you really do ten shots?"

"Your Majesty might as well try."

Li Shimin nodded, looked left and right, selected a small tree that was not thick or thin, about fifty steps away, straightened his arms and aimed at it, and asked, "Pull this bracket?" ”

"yes, it's called a trigger." Li Mu introduced beside him: "The gap in the middle of this place is called a crosshair, and if Your Majesty wants to shoot at any target, just aim this gap." Fifty paces away, almost no adjustment. ”

"Isn't it amazing?" Li Shimin was a little skeptical, but he still did as Li Mu said, aimed at the gap, and pulled the trigger.

Shout!

Fierce winds! Li Shimin was startled, and then looked at the small tree, the iron arrow had pierced into the trunk, if it was a person, it must have been no longer alive.

"It's so powerful!"

"Your Majesty, shoot continuously."

Li Shimin nodded, pulled the trigger continuously, and the crossbow arrows were one after another, and the force of the shock included the shock, which made his arm muscles a little sore. Insisting on shooting the ten arrows, Li Shimin's arm drooped, gasped, and said, "This crossbow, the power of the shock is so great!" ”

"Your Majesty, how does it feel powerful?"

Li Shimin looked at the small tree that had been shot with thousands of holes, and exclaimed: "The power is amazing, it is really a sharp weapon!" ”
