"Drive!"

Pei Min lightly clamped the horse's belly with his feet, and recited the riding and archery mantra taught to him by Xue Ne in his mouth: "The momentum is like chasing the wind, the eyes are like lightning, the bow is full, the arrow is tight, the eyes are not instantaneous, the body is sitting, not losing its gallop, and the arrow is like a break." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

In the high-speed running, Pei Min stood upright, holding a bow and holding a bow.

If you don't learn to ride and shoot, you don't know how difficult it is.

Pei Min learned to ride and shoot that foot shooting and horse shooting are completely two different concepts. Not to mention other step archery, to put it bluntly, it is to bend the bow and arrow, Rao is this simple bending bow archery, and it takes many years of hard practice to be proficient. Not to mention riding archery: no matter how stable the horse is running, it is impossible to avoid the bumps of ups and downs, and most of the royal riders want to avoid the shock on the horse's back, most of them will choose to step on the horses, fix the center of gravity on the feet, and slightly leave the saddle with the hips, and shoot arrows in a semi-standing or standing position. In this way, it is a great test for riding skills. And even so, it is impossible to avoid ups and downs, and it is impossible to aim like a foot shot, and in the end, you have to take into account the instability of the center of gravity when bending the bow and arrow. All of this is necessary to shoot an arrow. It is easy to shoot with foot, and it is almost unreasonable.

In the past 20 days, Pei Min has practiced his skills hard, except for eating, drinking, and sleeping, almost day and night. It's completely impossible to do with someone else. Because practicing martial arts is not reading, as long as the will of a scholar is firm enough, it is normal for ten years to be cold. Practicing martial arts is a job that consumes energy and consumes the body, and everyone's body has a certain boundary, beyond which even in the strong people can't support it.

And Pei Min has Liu Shenwei with extraordinary medical skills next to him, until after Sun Simiao's death. Along the way, the entire Datang may not be able to find a second one that can be compared with Liu Shenwei. Liu Shenwei is different from his master Sun Simiao. Sun Simiao's medical skills are very comprehensive, he is proficient in acupuncture, pediatric trauma, internal medicine, herbology, and even gynecology, but Liu Shenwei specializes in acupuncture and herbology, and is far inferior to Sun Simiao in other aspects, but his attainments in these two parties are not inferior to Sun Simiao.

Liu Shenwei, as Pei Min's personal physiotherapist, acupuncture and moxibustion for him three times a day, massaging his tired muscles, and preparing a medicinal bath for him every night to restore his damaged muscles and muscles, so that his body is in the healthiest state and is tempered.

In just 23 days, Pei Min, with the help of Liu Shenwei, his practice volume even exceeded that of ordinary martial arts practitioners for more than half a year.

The exercise day after day, coupled with the repair of the medicinal bath, made Pei Min's muscles and bones stronger, and his strength was much greater, and even the chest muscles and abdominal muscles came out. You know, he's only eighteen years old this year.

When the speed of the little chestnut hair increased to the fastest, Pei Min stabilized his body, wiped his feathers and took the arrow, and stretched the bow and pulled the string at the arrow target fifty steps away. He used the Xue family's unique family archery method: when holding the bow, let the forehand grasp the bow handle, the other side of the bow handle rests against the four knuckles, the thumb is flat to lean on the arrow, and the index finger is specially withdrawn so that the thumb does not interfere with the bowstring. This set of archery is Xue Rengui's improvement of the Hu people's archery and evolved the technique of mounted archery, the Hu people learned to ride and shoot since childhood, after thousands of years of tempering, their riding and archery techniques are efficient and powerful, non-Central Plains archery can be compared. Datang has always had the heart of accepting all rivers and rivers, and has never rested on its laurels. When Xue Rengui was training at that time, he specially found the Turkic generals under his command to teach him steppe archery. Xue Rengui also watched from the sidelines, his riding and archery kung fu is unparalleled in the world, and he integrated the essence of grassland archery into his own archery skills and passed it on to future generations.

"Boom!" The bowstring sounded!

The arrow feather is shot on the arrow target like a meteor, and the riding and archery test does not require a mandatory hit to the bull's-eye, as long as it is shot on the arrow target, it is considered to be qualified.

"Eight out of ten! It's fast enough to shame my unscrupulous descendants. The more Xue Ne looked at Pei Min, the happier he became, and he was full of appreciation for Pei Min's achievements. It's not talent that is praised, it's perseverance and patience. Pei Min knows everything and can draw inferences from one another, which is indeed extraordinary, but horseback archery is a hard kung fu, and it cannot be learned by relying on intelligence alone. What is needed is more patience and hard work, or tireless practice to the death, only practice makes perfect. Pei Min did it, and in the twenty-three days, except for participating in the re-examination of the Ministry of Officials, he never stepped out of Pei's Mansion half a step, and practiced the art of riding and archery with one mind. This perseverance made Xue Ne moved.

Pei Min got off the horse, came to Xue Ne's vicinity, and said with a smile: "That's a good guide from Taigong!" ”

Xue Ne was rigorous, and he didn't like this flattery, so he snorted lightly: "Don't be too arrogant, your archery skills seem to have reached a certain level, but in fact, they are far less than the strength you are showing now, not even half of it." ”

Pei Min did not have any dissatisfaction, but said with a happy and sincere heart: "What Taigong said is reasonable, and I know it very well in my heart." The art of riding and archery requires years of accumulation to take shape, and I am able to achieve this level now because I practice day and night, and I have extraordinary habits and feel...... As long as I don't practice for a while, the habit and feel will cool down, and the true level will be revealed. Sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat. I'm also a martial arts practitioner, and if I can't understand this, I'm living in vain. Taigong rest assured, even if I pass tomorrow's martial arts, I will not lose to the practice of mounted archery. I don't want to reach the level of Taigong. At least in the future, when you go to the battlefield, you can ride your horse and shoot the enemy chieftain......"

Xue Ne is even more satisfied, learning to ride a horse and shoot arrows without killing the enemy in battle, is it possible to be still healthy? The reason why he has always looked down on the people of the rivers and lakes is this, in his opinion, the man is in the world, has a martial arts, but does not seek to protect the family and defend the country and open up the territory, which is no different from waste.

"Tomorrow is the martial arts, and today I will teach you some key knowledge...... Let's go, follow me to the West Market! ”

Meanwhile!

Chang Yuankai once again found the soldier in charge of the martial arts, and Wai Lang was Dou Chen.

As a father, how can anyone not want his son to be good, for the sake of the young son who is not angry, Chang Yuankai tried his best, but his son himself was not angry, and the Jinshi in hand was sent out, and he also had a feud with Pei Min.

Just after it was rumored in Chang'an that Pei Min slept with Princess Taiping, Chang Yuankai was not less worried. His life has been tied to death with Princess Taiping, one glory and one loss. This offended Princess Taiping's male favorite, if he wore a small shoe for himself in the future, wouldn't he be offended? Just when he was up and down in his heart, Lu Zangyong discussed with him to deal with Pei Min and told him about the rumors.

Chang Yuankai breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't want to see Pei Min rise to the top of Princess Taiping and cause more trouble, so he hit it off with Lu Zangyong, and immediately contacted Li Ci and befriended Dou Chen through Li Ci.

Dou Chen worked hard for five years in the small position of Wailang, a member of the military department, and could not get promoted, so he saw this as an opportunity.

Facing Chang Yuankai's arrival, Dou Chen said confidently: "The general will put ten thousand hearts, everything is arranged, and Pei Min will not be able to eat it tomorrow!" ”
