At this time, some memories flooded in his mind told Qin Mubai that since he was a child, his martial arts were the worst among the three brothers, which was undoubtedly the most humiliating thing for the descendants of Jiangmen. Not only that, "myself" has been stubborn and rebellious since he was a child, he can't do anything, he only loves flying eagles, lackeys, cockfights, and gambling money, and his behavior is also a little bad, and he is a rich second-generation gentleman who is ignorant.

The Qin family has always been very strict, so Qin Shubao and his two half-brothers are a little disappointed and bored with themselves, no wonder they were kicked out of the house early and thrown into the army, and they have not returned home for three years and have not received any promotion.

"Okay, this arrow competition should be the first battle for my own name after Qin Mubai returned!"

With a smile on his face, Qin Mubai and his two elder brothers took a bow and arrow on the weapon rack, put it on the quiver, and walked to the arrow field.

"Hehe, Daddy, do you think the third brother is coming back this time is very different from before?" Qin Shuang'er whispered, "Shuang'er sees that he is much more sensible than before, less Meng Lang, and more calm." You see that his current idle and confident bearing has a bit of his father's demeanor! ”

"The fourth girl has a sweet mouth, but she can't just care about maintaining your third brother. Eighteen or nineteen years old, it should be sensible. When he was his father's age, he was already leading the troops and horses to urge the city to pull out. Qin Shubao stroked Qin Shuang'er's head, but a pair of eagle-like old eyes stared at the three people in the field, and said lightly, "For martial artists, it is fundamental to have a true chapter under them, otherwise no matter how good your bearing is, it will be pretentious." ”

Qin Shuang'er pursed her lips in protest: "Daddy, why do you hate the third brother so much?" It's not fair! ”

"Hate?" Qin Shubao smiled, patted her head and said, "Don't argue, watch your three brothers try their archery skills!" ”

Qin Mubai carefully looked at the bow and arrow in his hand, the traditional Chinese compound reflex bow is slightly different from the modern bow he used for training and competition in the 21st century, the bow body is made of high-quality boxwood and animal mixture, strong and powerful, the range is very long, and it takes about more than a hundred catties of strength to pull it away. In terms of the current military practice of the Tang Dynasty, this is the standard "longbow" used by infantry.

Nothing changes, Qin Mubai believes that he can shoot this kind of arrow well, but the power he uses is a little greater than before. After crossing by himself, his strength exploded almost twice as much as that of ordinary people, and it was trivial to pull out this one-stone bow.

"Two virtuous brothers, how do you compare?" Eldest brother Qin Tong spoke.

"It's up to my brother to arrange." Qin Mubai and Qin Bin both said so.

"Good. Father just talked about the six arts, so let's compete according to the standards of the six arts archery. Qin Tong said, "Let's try to 'participate in the connection'." ”

"Okay." The two responded together. Qin Mubai played a drum in his heart: What is Shenlian? The archery art in the six arts of Confucianism, the routine is really complicated. Forget it, I'll see them first.

"Big brother, please." So, Qin Mubai said.

"Hmm." Qin Tong responded, the corners of his mouth grinned slightly, and a smile full of superiority appeared on his face, and he put his bow on the arrow, aiming at the arrow target dozens of meters away and shooting an arrow first.

The sound of "tuk" hit the bull's-eye.

Qin Mubai's heart sank: Good archery! Who said that the ancients would lose to the present? It is not difficult to become a professional archer in the era of cold weapons!

Immediately afterwards, Qin Tong sent out three more arrows in a row, all of which hit the target. The four arrows, lined up neatly, are like a stroke of "one".

"The eldest brother's archery skills have always been the most exquisite, how can I have a chance of winning with the third brother?" Qin Bin said on the side, obviously with envy and amazement in his words.

"The four arrows lined up after hitting the target, and it turned out that this was the 'Shenlian'. I used to play with my teammates a lot of time, not only did I shoot the word 'one', but I also shot the word 'zhi'. Qin Mubai smiled inadvertently, and said secretly in his heart.

"It's your turn, second brother." Qin Tong laughed a few times, clapped his hands and said.

"It's better for the little brother to be respectful than to obey his fate." Qin Bin glanced back at Qin Shubao, confidently drew his bow and arrows, shot four arrows in a row, and also shot a beautiful four-strain ginseng.

"Haha, the second brother's archery skills are very strong!" Qin Tong laughed and patted Qin Bin's shoulder, the two brothers were obviously extremely intimate.

Qin Shubao, who was not far behind, had a smile on his face and nodded slightly.

Qin Shuang'er pouted and said in a low voice: "It's obviously not fair!" The eldest brother and the second brother have been good at participating since they were children, and this has always been the weakest point of the third brother! ”

Qin Shubao smiled faintly and said, "I know that it is the weakest point, so I should strengthen it." If you haven't even grown in archery skills for three years in the army, your third brother will really be a waste. ”

"Humph! Daddy, you know that you are biased towards the eldest brother and the second brother! ”

On that side, Qin Mubai pulled the bowstring and tried his hand to shoot. Qin Tong and Qin Bin stood aside with their hands on their chests, looking at him with a smile. Qin Tong also said: "Third brother, you have been in the army for three years, you should have improved in archery skills, right?" How can you say it, you can't lose to Congwen's second brother, right? ”

"The two brothers inherited their father's talent, but the younger brother has poor qualifications, if he loses, he should be, the two brothers must not laugh." Qin Mubai smiled slightly, and shot an arrow with his hand.

Arrows are like rushing Hong, flying stars are chasing the moon!

The sound of "Du" hit the bull's-eye!

"Wow, the third brother is so good!" Qin Shuang'er jumped up and cheered loudly. Qin Tong and Qin Liang's faces trembled, and they said in unison: "The third brother is really good at archery!" ”

Only Qin Shubao remained silent.

The archery art in the six arts of Confucianism does not focus on killing the enemy on the battlefield, but on self-cultivation and shaping the demeanor of a gentleman. This "Shenlian" archery art pays attention to a "Qi" - not whether the bullseye is not hit, but whether the three arrows in the back can be neatly lined up with the three in front.

The Confucian mystery of "cultivating Qi and ruling peace" is also reflected in this archery art.

However, Qin Mubai's chic posture of throwing his bow and shooting arrows just now, and his confidence and bearing of 'one arrow is inevitable', really made Qin Shubao and the others shine in front of their eyes.

"There are three arrows, the third brother will shoot them!"

"Okay." With an indifferent smile, Qin Mubai held the bow in his left hand and the arrow in his right hand, and his chic and free five fingers crossed and took out three arrows, and with a wave of his hand, they were neatly put on the bowstring like flowing water.

Qin Tong and Qin Bin's eyes suddenly widened in surprise - what did he want to do? Do all three of them go together?

It is not for nothing that people who fire three arrows at the same time. It is possible to see such archery masters in the army. But here's the problem...... Now the competition is "Participation", which requires four arrows to be lined up side by side!

Who can guarantee that in this case, three arrows shot at the same time will line up on the arrow target?!

No way!

"Perhaps, only a peerless divine shooter like my father can do it?!" Qin Tong and Qin Bin thought in unison.

"Ah......h ”

"I don't know the height of the shaft, how can three plants with the same hair join together? ......" Qin Shubao sneered.

Before his words fell, there were three crisp sounds of "tuk tuk" on the side of the target!

The dust settled.

Qin Tong and Qin Bin were dumbfounded, their mouths wide open and they could almost swallow their fists.

"Wow!! It's so beautiful! The third brother is so powerful! It's so neat! Qin Shuang'er jumped up with joy.

Uncle Qin stood up suddenly and stood up!

Qin Mubai put down the longbow and smiled slightly, and when he turned around inadvertently, he saw his father Qin Shubao standing up, and a pair of sharp eyes that revealed surprise fell on him with the right and accurate, like a blade wiping.

"Third brother...... You're ...... What a miracle shot! After a while, Qin Tong and Qin Bin came back to their senses together, took a neat breath, and said in surprise.

"The little brother is ugly." Qin Mubai waved his hand and smiled indifferently.

Qin Shubao twisted his brows slightly and sat down again, Qin Shuang'er was so excited that her face turned red, and she chattered around Qin Shubao: "Daddy, you saw it, hehe!" The third brother really did it! Three plants in a row, so neatly joined! ”

"Hmm......" Qin Shubao hummed lightly and said no more.

"Daddy, why don't you praise the third brother!" Qin Shuang'er leaned over and whispered in his ear while helping him pinch his shoulder.

"Is it for a man to learn arrows to gain fame and reputation? Since he was born as a general, he should shoot arrows well, and he should be punished if he shoots badly. Qin Shubao's expression remained unchanged and said lightly, "However, San Lang does seem to have improved compared to a few years ago. Go, call them over. ”

"Yes! Hee-hee! Qin Shuang'er jumped over, as if she had been hit*. After a few words of laughter with the two brothers, she took Qin Mubai's arm and whispered, "Third brother, Daddy praised you!" ”

"Really?" Qin Mubai laughed.

The three brothers put down their bows and arrows and walked to Qin Shubao together and saluted.

"Wen Wu is the first and Wu is the second, today I will test my archery skills, and San Lang will win." Qin Shubao didn't say much, he got up on crutches after saying this sentence concisely, and said, "I'm tired of my father, you three brothers should be busy!" ”

"Yes, Father."

Qin Shuang'er helped her father away, giggling all the way, like a lively and agile bird, making Qin Shubao laugh from time to time.

"Three days, be impressed." Qin Tong looked at Qin Mubai intently and said seriously, "Third brother, I didn't expect your archery skills to have improved to such an extent, and your demeanor is even more incomparable, quite like your father's general's style." In contrast, the foolish brother is really embarrassed. It seems that the foolish brother will also be trained hard. I will say goodbye today, and he will have a chance to compete again with our brothers. ”

"Father wants to rest, then I'll go too." In contrast, Qin Bin from Congwen had a more bookish atmosphere, and his expression and words were softer, and he said, "The third brother serves and is filial to his parents at home, and he might as well read more books when he has time." The ancients said that 'Wuding Guowen Anbang', now that the world is peaceful and prosperous, it is not a bad thing to learn more talents after all. Foolish brother farewell! ”

"Little brother remember, send off the two brothers!" Qin Mubai gave him his hand, and his heart moved slightly: Now, they are a few points closer to me when they look at me and talk to me. Obviously, my father and brothers were impressed by my little archery skills...... After all, blood is thicker than water, maybe they don't really hate me, but they just hate the stubborn and unproductive Qin Mubai before.
