Nearly 1,000 soldiers from the Wu Wangfu are conducting drills. The pro-soldiers are different from the government soldiers, and there is no strict distinction between the troop types of cavalry, infantry shooting, and platoon. They are all recruits, so the requirements for personal ability are higher than those of ordinary government soldiers, whether it is mounted archery or foot combat, they must have a certain level.

At this moment, the soldiers of the four regiments, under the leadership of the captains of each regiment, practiced different subjects. or horsemanship, or archery, or warping, or swords and spears. Xue Rengui was instructing a group of sergeants to practice archery and personally doing a demonstration.

The layman looks at the bustle, and the insider looks at the doorway. Seeing Xue Rengui's posture and movements with arrows, Qin Mubai's eyes couldn't help but light up: he is a master!

"The general's three arrows will determine the world, and the soldier will sing into the Han Pass." Qin Mubai couldn't help but think of this folk song that has been passed down through the ages, which is used to praise Xue Rengui's achievements and archery skills! He thought in his heart, in terms of martial arts, I am definitely not Xue Rengui's opponent; But archery might be able to compete with him. It seems that compared to him, I only have this trick left to get on the stage.

Most of the sergeants recognized Qin Mubai, and when they saw him coming, they greeted him one after another. Xue Rengui also noticed it and hurriedly came to greet him in person.

"It's rare for General Qin to come, why don't you guide us?" Xue Rengui said modestly.

"It's not about mentoring." Qin Mubai smiled and said, "Everyone is a military person, so it's not bad to learn from each other." Rengui, I didn't expect that in just a few months, you would have trained the prince's soldiers to such a level. Yes, he is really talented, and he is a general. ”

"The general is overrated." Xue Rengui smiled modestly, "The last general has neither experience nor ability, and it is only with the help and guidance of the two generals Yin Yang and Yuwen Hongtai that he knows a little bit about the doorway. The two generals often said that they learned everything from you. The last general also often thinks that if there is a master like General Qin here, he will definitely get twice the result with half the effort. Not to mention anything else, the hundred horsemen built by the general himself, that is the elite division second to none today! ”

"Haha, I'm not so amazing." Qin Mubai laughed a few times and said, "But then again, Rengui, the royal palace soldiers are not regular troops after all. You need to learn more military skills, increase your military talents, and get more advanced education in the military government or the guard. ”

"Don't hide it from the general, the last general has already had this intention." Xue Rengui said, "I've been in the palace for so long, and I really can't learn a lot. But I still feel that there are many shortcomings. There are more things I don't understand, so I can only explore them by myself with the two generals Yin Yang and Yuwen Hongtai, and no one will guide me. If you can get to the military government or the guard, these problems will not be a problem. In this way, it is inevitable to improve day by day. It's not that the last general sees something different, but he just wants to improve his skills and better serve His Royal Highness King Wu. ”

"I understand, you don't have to explain." Qin Mubai nodded and smiled, and said, "If you don't mind, I can temporarily transfer you to the Xiangzhou Military Mansion to serve for the service." It just so happens that I'm short of manpower right now, what do you think? ”

Xue Rengui raised his eyebrows and responded cheerfully: "Very good!" As long as His Highness agrees, it is better for the last general to be respectful than to obey his orders! ”

"Okay, I'll take care of that." Qin Mubai nodded and smiled, and said, "Just now I saw that you taught soldiers archery, and your skills are extraordinary. How's that, a contest? ”

Xue Rengui was slightly stunned, and hurriedly hugged his fists and said, "The last general will dare?" ”

"What's the matter?" Qin Mubai smiled and said, "People in the military, it's too normal to learn martial arts. Get on the horse and shoot it than a ride! ”

After that, Qin Mubai asked the pawn to lead the horse.

"Good, good!" When the soldiers on the side heard that the two were going to compete with arrows, they all shouted and surrounded them.

"Since the general has Yaxing, then the general will accompany him!" Xue Rengui turned over and got on the horse, carried a pot of arrows and a bow, and bowed to Qin Mubai.

Qin Mubai glanced at it and exclaimed, "Good bow!" ”

"The general really has good eyesight!" Xue Rengui handed over his bow to Qin Mubai to see. Qin Mubai took it and shook it, it was extremely heavy - a veritable iron tire bow!

Datang mostly uses composite reflex bows, and the bow body is mostly made of bamboo and wood mixed with animal horns. Bows that are actually cast from iron tires are extremely rare. First, this kind of bow is extremely expensive, and more importantly, how many people can pull it? Don't say it's pulling, if it's a marching attack, it's enough to march with such a bow!

Xue Rengui's innate divine power, Qin Mubai had heard of it for a long time. Although Qin Mubai had almost fused the strength of the two people after his own rebirth, and had become infinitely powerful, he thought to himself that he might not be as strong as Xue Rengui's strength.

The soldiers next to the war horse were discussing and said, "General Xue's bow, no one in the whole battalion can pull it apart except himself!" Even General Yuwen can't pull it away! ”

"The hard bow of the general boxwood big bow is only the power of two stones, and General Xue's bow is afraid that it will take three or four stones to open it!"

"Where, I think I want the power of five stones!"

"Holy! People are not oxen, where can the arms get the power of five stones? ”

Qin Mubai heard it, and said with a smile: "Rengui, you are honest, how many catties of strength do you have in your arms?" ”

Xue Rengui smiled and said, "The last general once tried, and the stone lion at the gate of the general's village was lifted, but he couldn't move, so he could only put it down on the spot. Presumably, that's the limit. ”

Qin Mubai looked at it with his eyes, and couldn't help but be speechless: there is a stone lion that is almost a person high, at least a thousand catties in weight, and he can actually lift it—isn't that a little bit of the demeanor of a bully?

"Awesome!" Qin Mubai praised it from the bottom of his heart, took a deep breath, and pulled up the bowstring with all his strength.

Hearing only a dull smacking sound, Xue Rengui's iron-tired giant bow was pulled by Qin Mubai for a full moon!

"Wow! - " The sergeants shouted in amazement, their eyes widening.

Qin Mubai put away the bowstring and let out a long breath: "This bow is too hard." Although I can pull away, I can only shoot three arrows at most, and I will collapse and weaken. Rengui, I see that you are not very strong, and your body is far worse than Yuwen Hongtai, I didn't expect to have such innate divine power! ”

"General Qin is also deeply hidden!" Xue Rengui took the bow thrown back by Qin Mubai and said with a smile, "Everyone only thinks that General Qin is a beautiful son with a good demeanor, and it is expected that he is also excellent in martial arts!" ”

"Haha, we don't have to flatter each other anymore, let's get started!" Qin Mubai shouted "drive", and galloped towards the shooting range. Xue Rengui also quickly followed, and the riding skills of the two were extraordinary, like two galloping winds in front of the eyes of the sergeants.

The army has its own set of precedents for comparing arrows.

Generally speaking, there are three ways to compete. The first is foot shooting, which is the easiest way to stand still and see whose arrow is more accurate and better-looking. For example, when he was at home before, Qin Mubai tried to "participate" with his two brothers, and this kind of competition and entertainment is more important; The second is the long stack, that is, the long shot of the step station, which requires a little technical content, and the comparison is accurate, in the red star. The third is mounted archery, which is the highest level of archery competition. To shoot an arrow on a galloping horse, you must be able to play at least balance with your hands free, have good eyesight, and be able to see the target clearly while moving quickly. In addition, archery skills need to be extremely proficient in order to shoot at the target while they are constantly drifting!

The riding and archery competition is like a slam dunk contest in a basketball game, non-masters cannot participate, and the audience will be addicted!

Some time ago, Qin Mubai stayed in the barracks for more than half a month, taking the sergeants to practice martial arts every day, and became proficient in some unfamiliar martial arts. This stunt brought from his previous life has probably become his strongest skill now. Although he has not yet played a major role, he knows that one day it will be very useful.

"Go!" With a clear reprimand, Qin Mubai's hand sounded, and the arrow was like a rush, hitting a target red heart dozens of steps away!

"Good ——!!" The sergeants shouted loudly!

Xue Rengui's eyes lit up - "True Divine Skill!" ”

"It's your turn!" Qin Mubai shouted on his horse.

"Good!" Xue Rengui was not ambiguous, he put on the bow and arrows, and the iron-tired giant bow in his hand was easily pulled to the full moon like a plaything, and the wind blew like an electric switch into the bull's-eye.

"Tuk"!

With a heavy muffled sound, Xue Rengui's arrow also hit the bull's-eye, and it was close to the one shot by Qin Mubai. Moreover, the arrow he shot almost went straight into the handle, leaving only the tail of the arrow in the bull's-eye.

"Good !!" The sergeants were hooked.

"That's amazing!" Qin Mubai's eyes widened in amazement. This is a one-person enemy standing there, if Xue Rengui uses a little bit of strength seriously, I'm afraid he will have to pass through the human cave!

"Come again! Burst shot! ”

Qin Mubai let out a loud shout and sped up his horse's speed. In this way, the difficulty of mounted archery is increased again. His hand rose and fell, and he quickly shot three arrows in a row. "Tuk Tuk Tuk" sounded three times in a row, and each hit three arrow targets.

"Wow! Miraculous!! The sergeants exclaimed in unison.

Xue Rengui was only a few horses behind, and the cheers of the sergeants did not stop, and he also hit three arrows in a row. As concocted, the three arrows were also inserted together with Qin Mubai's arrows, leaving only the arrow feathers in the bull's-eye, trembling to himself.

"Looks like I'm going to win you, it's unlikely." Qin Mubai turned around on the horse and said loudly, "Rengui, you still have reservations, right?" ”

Xue Rengui just smiled.

"Do your trick of pressing the bottom of the box!" Qin Mubai said loudly.

"Good!" Xue Rengui shouted happily in response, clamped the horse's belly between his legs, and galloped forward and ran in front of Qin Mubai.

Qin Mubai slowed down his horse a little and paid careful attention to see what tricks he could perform.

Suddenly, running in front, Xue Rengui suddenly shouted, his tongue bloomed with spring thunder, his legs clamped angrily between the horse's belly, and his hands pulled up the reins. Almost at the same time, Xue Rengui stepped on the saddle with one foot in the horse's pedal, and the person was like a Feiyan stabbing backwards backwards, and I don't know when he took three arrows and wound them at the same time. With a loud shout, three arrows fired at the same time!

In an instant, there was a sound at the same time from the three-sided arrow target dozens of steps away in front of him, and he actually hit the red heart!

Everything, but it happened between lightning and flint, Qin Mubai's horse followed closely behind, if he hadn't reacted fast enough, he would have really crashed into it. By the time Qin Mubai reined in his horse and saw the target clearly, Xue Rengui had already fallen back into the saddle.

The onlookers were so stunned that they forgot to cheer!

"It's amazing, and it's like a sigh!" Qin Mubai sighed in surprise, "Rengui, I'm convinced!" If this trick is used in the battle array, or when fighting with people to the death, it will definitely be invincible, and no one will be invincible! ”

"General Qin has an overreputation." Xue Rengui put away his bow and arrows, and humbly bowed his hand and said, "Xue's trick is nothing but the courage of a horseman." General Qin's resourcefulness is the real wisdom and courage. No matter how strong Xue is, he is only ten enemies and a hundred enemies. General Qin's wisdom and courage are all strategizing, and he can slaughter 10,000 people with a snap of his fingers. ”

Qin Mubai smiled and said, "Rengui, do you want to learn the art of war?" ”

Xue Rengui's eyes suddenly lit up: "I think!" ”

"I have in my hand half of the Jade Tent Sutra taught by Wei Gong Li Yaoshi, and there are still many incomprehensions in studying it day and night. If you are interested, you can study with me. Qin Mubai said.

"This! …… Isn't that right? Xue Rengui said in surprise, "Defending the country, the god of the army, the saint of the soldiers, how can Xue dare to covet the art of war he taught?" ”

"It doesn't matter." Qin Mubai smiled and said, "If Duke Wei dares to pass on the art of war to me, he can trust me; I dare to study with you because I can trust you. ”

Xue Rengui turned over and dismounted in surprise and bowed on one knee: "Xue, thank General Qin!" ”

"Haha, you and I don't have to be so polite!" Qin Mubai jumped off the horse, threw the bow and arrow to the pawn, and helped Xue Rengui up, "Brother Xue, count it, it was Qin who invited you out of the mountain, and it was also Qin who recommended you to enter the Wu Palace." I saw you at first sight, and I only hoped that I would have a good brother who would love you from now on, and nothing else. ”

"The meaning of the general's fist, Xue knows it very well." Xue Rengui nodded sincerely and said, "It's just that Xue Mou is not good at expressing himself." ”

"Big man, you don't have to talk about everything, just know it in your heart." Qin Mubai smiled and said, "Later, I will go to King Wu and ask him to allow you to go to my military mansion, and you and I can accompany each other day and night, and study the art of war and practice martial arts together, wouldn't it be happy?" Rengui's archery skills can be called the pinnacle and unattainable. I didn't say it, you must take a good look at my martial arts and teach me a few more hands. ”

"Good!" Xue Rengui smiled happily, "The general taught me the art of war and military affairs, Xue Mou'er, and also came to order the general's archery and martial arts!" ”

"Haha! And drink together and get drunk together! ”

Xue rarely drinks alcohol, and the amount of alcohol is frighteningly small. But if you drink with General Qin, you must sacrifice your life to accompany you! ”

"Haha, then it's decided!"

After a short time, Qin Mubai came to the palace of the Assassin Mansion and found Li Ke, who was very busy.

It was originally a newcomer, and many government affairs had to be taken over and skilled from scratch, and the water ghost case was widely implicated, so there is still a lot of follow-up work that has not been completed. Therefore, in the past few days, Li Ke has been extremely busy. Seeing that the most important assistant Quan Wanji was going to escort the prisoners to Beijing, Li Ke felt even more tricky and busy.

Seeing Qin Mubai enter the ya, Li Ke only glanced up at him, nodded his head to say hello, and continued to work hard to write and sort out all kinds of copywriting.

Qin Mubai saw that he was busy, so he didn't rush to say something, but walked next to him, picked up the mountain of copywriting on his desk and looked at it, and said casually: "Do you want to help?" ”

The pen in Li Wu's hand froze, looked up at Qin Mubai, and nodded in surprise: "I can't ask for it!" But those are all about criminal proceedings, can you? ”

"Try it. If it doesn't work, it's a big deal that you can revise it. Qin Mubai said with a smile.

"That's fine. Here are the books of the Law that you can look through. After that, Li Ke brought a large stack of books to Qin Mubai from the bookshelf behind him, all of which were the legal provisions of the Tang Dynasty.

"Okay, you're busy." Qin Mubai didn't say much, took a large stack of lawsuits, sat at another table, and began to read them.

When he was in Chang'an, Qin Mubai read books every day, and he read little about the subset of scriptures and histories, and the most studied thing was the law and regulations. From the beginning, he thought very clearly that it was impossible for him to come to this ancient world that admired Confucianism and Mencius, and it was impossible for him to become a Confucian overnight. If you want to live in peace, you need to know more about the laws of this new world. There is no better way to understand the law than to study the statutes of the law.

So for a long time, Qin Mubai regarded himself as a "law department" and studied these things tirelessly. If you don't understand something, ask your father Qin Mubai, or ask Yu Shinan, a cheap teacher he recognized in the palace. In the coming and going, although it is not a mastery of the law, at least many of the main provisions of the law have been memorized and understood.

Looking at the lawsuits, covering the criticism, Qin Mubai rarely turned over the tome of the law book. Soon, more than a dozen civil complaints were approved in one go. Li Ke was busy with the matter at hand, and glanced at Qin Mubai curiously from time to time. Later, I couldn't suppress my curiosity, so I simply walked behind him and watched him review it.

I saw Qin Mubai write with a pen in his hand, and the legal references of the articles and clauses were silently reflected in the reply to the pleadings, and it was also reasonable for the approval of the case.

Li Ke couldn't help but be surprised, and he couldn't believe his eyes. Picking up the pleadings that Qin Mubai had already reviewed on the side, he looked through them carefully, none of the pleadings were unreasonable, the legal provisions cited were detailed and accurate, and even the small letters were written extremely well and beautifully.

"Mu Bai, you can!" Li Ke exclaimed, "I seem to have only been a general, is it possible that a hundred horsemen have to practice the law at the same time?" ”

"Yiduo doesn't press down!" Qin Mubai said with a smile, "One day I won't be a general, but I can go to the county government to be a chief or a scribe or something, and I won't run out of food." ”

"!" Li Ke scolded angrily and said, "It's just right, Quan Wanji is going to the capital, there are not many people who can be used in the Assassin's Mansion, and there are even fewer things that reassure me." Why don't you just take some time out and help me for a few days? ”

"Haha, okay!" Qin Mubai responded briskly, but the conversation changed and said, "But, ask me to do things, but it's very expensive, can you afford it?" ”

"Just kidding!" Li Ke's nose was about to be crooked, and he couldn't cry or laugh, "You can make a price!" Money and land beauty, as long as you dare to speak, I dare to give! ”

"I don't want any of that. I'll just ask you to borrow someone to use it. Qin Mubai said with a wry smile.

Li Ke turned his eyes vigilantly, and said in his heart: The person who asked this guy to ask for it is definitely not an ordinary character, I have to think clearly......

So he said, "Look at who you want, you don't have to be polite." But there are three people I can't lend. ”

"Which three?"

"Princess, daughter, and ......" Li Ke smiled a little slyly and said, "Xue Rengui! ”

"Coincidentally." Qin Mubai also smiled, "What I want is Xue Rengui." ”

"No, it's not negotiable!" Li Ke waved his hand without hesitation, "I just asked you to help temporarily, but you are good, and you have to dig the corner." ”

"You're overthinking." Qin Mubai smiled, "Don't you want Xue Rengui to learn more skills?" I brought Xue Rengui with me just to let him learn more. He himself said that he hoped to go to the military palace to broaden his knowledge and improve himself. Besides, this Xiangzhou Military Mansion is not opened by me, how can I dig your corner? Xue Rengui is still your King Wu's! ”

"Hey, hey!" Li Ke wiped the tip of his nose and said with a smile, "I know your kindness, I deliberately teased you." In fact, whether it is a person or a thing, what is mine is yours. You've opened your mouth, do I dare not let go? After a while, when I have free time, I will write a statement to play the imperial court, and ask the military department to transfer Xue Rengui to a position. I'm sure I'll rest assured that people will be handed over to you! ”

"That's it." Qin Mubai clapped his hands with joy on his face, stood up and walked out, "Since you are so busy, I won't bother." Less accompaniment, less accompaniment! ”

"Hey, what do you mean!" Li Ke shouted anxiously, "Didn't you promise to help me just now?" ”

"Then I have to be free!" Qin Mubai smiled sheepishly, "I finally sneaked out of the barracks to take a trip, I should always go and see Chen Yan, right?" ”

"Forgetfulness! Heavy color and light friends! Don't be credited! Despicable and shameless! Hungry ghost in color! Li Ke stomped his feet angrily, "Qin Mubai, you're really not a good thing!" ”

"Haha! I'll come back tomorrow to help you! Qin Mubai threw his string of long scolds behind his head and walked away.

"This guy actually blackmailed me! I said why was he so kind to help me deal with official business, it turned out that he had a plan, so he came to Xue Rengui. Sure enough, it is a love affair with nothing, either a traitor or a thief! Li Ke shook his head with a smile, picked up the lawsuit approved by Qin Mubai and looked at it a few times, and sighed: "Hey, it's the same person, why is he born with such a head, and he is better than others in everything?" How unreasonable! I knew that today, when he was in my mansion, even if I risked being grounded by my father for another year, I would not let him leave the mansion! ”
