Chapter 45: Zhai Rang invites Xu Mouse

Zhai Rang said with a smile: "Brother Xu Rat, please try if this iron Huaxia stick fits?"

Xu Mouse responded: "Yes." He walked over and came to Zhai Rang's side.

The leading master (Captain Gao) instructed the two masters: wrap the ends of the iron Huaxia stick with coarse cloth and carry it to Xu Rat.

Zhai Rang said with a smile: "Captain Gao, how can the two ends of this iron Huaxia stick be wrapped in coarse cloth?"

The leading master (Captain Gao) replied with a smile: "Big boss, now this iron Huaxia stick is just a rough embryo, and there are some burrs on it, and it will not be pierced by the hand of the Xu Rat brothers if it is wrapped in a coarse cloth."

Now please try the length and thickness of the Xu Mouse brothers, if the Xu Mouse brothers try it, they think: the length or thickness does not fit the hands, we will transform it until the hands fit, and then polish and refine it to become a finished product.

Zhai Rang said with a smile: "Captain Gao, I see."

Zhai Rang smiled at Xu Mouse and said, "Brother Xu Rat, you can try the length and thickness of this iron Huaxia stick now, and try whether it fits or not."

Xu Rat said: "The big boss, the villain obeys orders." After speaking, Xu Rat grabbed the two ends of the iron Huaxia stick with both hands, turned his left hand up, turned his right hand down, and stood up the iron Huaxia stick.

He let go of his left hand and waved it, and said with a smile: "Everyone, masters, borrow light and borrow light, Xu Rat is ordered by the big boss to try whether this iron Huaxia stick fits long. The crowd flickered aside.

After Xu Rat finished speaking, his right hand went up, and the iron Huaxia stick stabbed into the sky, and the downward force split Huashan down, the left leg took a big step forward, the right leg followed together, and the right hand pressed forward, and the iron Huaxia stick stabbed forward.

Xu Rat smiled and said, "The big boss, the length and thickness of this iron Huaxia stick are all in hand, but there is a little bit of a bad one."

Zhai Rang said with a smile: "Brother Xu Rat, what is not good?" Say it and let them change it now. ”

Xu Rat said with a smile: "The big boss, how does this iron Huaxia stick look like a burning stick, if it can be built Zhengming tile, then it will be majestic."

Zhai Rang asked with a smile: "Captain Gao, can you make this iron Huaxia stick into a bright one?"

The leading master (Captain Gao) replied with a smile: "The big boss, this is just a rough embryo, the Xu Mouse brothers tried to polish it after they joined their hands, and finally refined it to become a Zhengming tile bright iron Huaxia stick."

Zhai Rang asked: "Captain Gao, when will you be able to become a bright iron Huaxia stick?"

The leading master (Captain Gao) replied with a smile: "The big master, it is said that it is urgent, we will hurry up and do it before dark."

Zhai Rang said with a smile: "Captain Gao, you can work, we won't bother, after speaking, turn around and leave."

The leading master (Captain Gao) responded: "Yes." "Turn around and go to work.

Zhai Rang took five or six steps, remembered something, turned around, walked to the leading master (Captain Gao), and asked, "Captain Gao, how many of the thousand arrows I ordered you to build?"

The leading master (Captain Gao) replied: "The big boss has already built 600 sticks, and the second master said: The iron Huaxia stick should be used urgently." In the past two days, I have been building iron Huaxia sticks.

Zhai Rang asked, "Captain Gao, how much more can be built by noon tomorrow?"

The leading master (Captain Gao) replied: "The big boss, by noon tomorrow, can only build a maximum of 150 to 200 branches."

Zhai Rang said: "Captain Gao, I will send you five more personal soldiers to help you make arrows, and by noon tomorrow, you must make a thousand arrows." The Condor Dart Bureau came to challenge, even if the Condor was a fairy eagle, I would shoot him down from the sky.

The leading master (Captain Gao) replied: "The big master, the archery method pierces the Yang in a hundred steps, and the arrow is a hundred shots."

Zhai Rang said with a smile: "Captain Gao, a hundred steps through the poplar, the shot is the leaf of the willow, that is a fixed target, I can hit every shot." The Condor is the target of the event, and I can hit 50 shots in 100. Captain Gao, if you build me a thousand arrows, how can you shoot five hundred condors.

The leading master (Captain Gao) replied: "The big boss, in order to speed up the production of these arrows, the brothers of the weapons team have not closed their eyes for four or five days."

Zhai Rang said: Captain Gao, tomorrow the Condor Dart Bureau will come to challenge, this is a critical moment, hold on for half a day, and give you two days off after noon tomorrow.

The leading master (Captain Gao) replied, "Thank you, big boss."

After Zhai Rang finished speaking, everyone left the backyard weapons team and walked towards the main hall.

Everyone returned to the main hall and sat down in their seats.

Zhai Rang said: Everyone eats fiercely, eat all the dishes, and tomorrow you will have the strength to defeat the Condor Dart Game. ”

After speaking, he stood up, poured a glass of wine for each of them, and then filled his own glass.

Zhai Rang said: Everyone, only drink this glass of wine today, after drinking and eating, please go back to the house to rest, and go to the backyard weapons team to watch the Xu Squirrel brothers try out the iron Huaxia stick when it is dark.

After speaking, everyone raised their necks and drank the wine, and everyone also raised their wine glasses and raised their necks to finish drinking.

After a glass of wine, Zhai Rang's face was a little hot, and he leaned towards Shan Xiongxin's side, and said in a low voice: "Second master, the dart you robbed, I will send someone to count it, just snowflake silver is more than 16,000 taels, and there are some gold, jewelry, only these snowflake silver, enough for the cottage to eat for half a year. ”

Shan Xiongxin said with a smile: The big boss, I can't imagine that this dart competition has so much wealth, no wonder the Condor Dart Bureau is not reluctant to challenge us. ”

Zhai Rang said with a smile: "The second master, Xu Gongzi, and Xu Mouse Brothers, go back to rest, raise your spirits, and go to the backyard weapons team to watch the Xu Mouse Brothers try out the iron Huaxia stick when it gets dark."

After Zhai Rang finished speaking, everyone went back to their rooms to rest.

In the evening, Xu Rat clamored to go to the backyard weapons team early to see the iron Huaxia stick.

Xu Maogong (Li Ji) closed the military book and said with a smile: Xu Mouse, okay, let's go early. After speaking, he stood up and walked to the door, and the two of them walked out of the door and walked towards the backyard weapons team.

Xu Maogong (Li Ji) and Xu Mouse came to the backyard weapons team, and the leading master (Captain Gao) hurriedly ran over and said with a smile: Xu Gongzi, Brother Xu Mouse is good. ”

Xu Maogong (Li Ji) replied with a smile: Hello Captain Gao. ”

The leading master (Captain Gao) turned his head and ordered: Quickly bring the Xu Mouse brothers', the iron Huaxia stick, over. ”

A moment later, the two brothers of the weapons team walked up to Xu Rat, carrying iron Huaxia sticks.

Xu Rat stretched out his right hand and grabbed the middle of the iron Huaxia stick, waved his left hand, and said with a smile: "Masters, brothers, borrow light and borrow light, Xu Rat is going to try this iron Huaxia stick." The crowd flickered aside.

After Xu Rat finished speaking, his right hand flipped his wrist, and the iron Huaxia stick stood up, and he stabbed upward, and the right leg took a big step forward, and the left leg followed together, and the right hand moved forward, and the iron Huaxia stick stabbed forward.

Xu Rat thought to himself: What a bright iron Huaxia stick. Xu Rat looked closely, and there were fine patterns on the stick.

Xu Rat smiled and said, "Young Master, I think this iron Huaxia stick is slightly lighter than your gossip silk winding gun.

Xu Maogong (Li Ji) said with a smile: Xu Mouse, I'll try,

Xu Maogong (Li Ji) walked to Xu Mouse's side, and Xu Mouse, holding an iron Huaxia stick in both hands, handed it to Xu Maogong (Li Ji).

Xu Maogong (Li Ji) grabbed one end of the iron Huaxia stick with his right hand, flipped his wrist with his right hand, and the iron Huaxia stick stood up.

Xu Maogong (Li Ji) went up and down, carefully watched this iron Huaxia stick, walked forward with the iron Huaxia stick, walked five steps, walked to the open space where no one was and couldn't help but practice.

Xu Maogong (Li Ji) practiced more than 20 moves. Suddenly, applause sounded behind him, and Shan Xiongxin said with a smile: Brother Xu, good stick method. ”

Xu Maogong (Li Ji) said with a smile: Brother Shan Xiongxin, you have an overreputation. ”

Shan Xiongxin walked to Xu Maogong (Li Ji) as he spoke, and asked with a smile: Brother Xu, is this the eighteen strokes of Huaxia stick method? ”

Xu Maogong (Li Ji) replied with a smile: Brother Shan, this is not the eighteen strokes of Huaxia stick technique, this is the marksmanship taught by my master. ”

Shan Xiongxin said with a smile: Brother Xu, I'm late, I've only seen a dozen moves, can I practice again? ”

Xu Maogong (Li Ji) said with a smile: Brother Shan Xiongxin, today is to watch Xu Mouse practice eighteen strokes of Huaxia stick method. The marksmanship taught by my master will be able to see it tomorrow when the foolish brother responds to the challenge of the War God Condor Dart Bureau. ”

At this time, a loud voice came: The second master, Xu Gongzi, Brother Xu Rat, you arrived first. As soon as the words fell, Zhai Rang walked over.

Everyone said in unison: The big boss is good. ”

Zhai Rang looked up at the sky and instructed his soldiers to say: It's already dark, light three or five more torches. ”

The pro-soldier responded: "Yes." "Turn around and get the torch.

Zhai Rang smiled at Xu Mouse and said: Brother Xu Rat, are you still satisfied with this iron Huaxia stick now? ”

Xu Rat replied with a smile: Satisfied, Xie Da is in charge. ”

At this time, the soldiers brought three more torches and lit them, and the backyard immediately became brighter.

Zhai Rang smiled at Xu Mouse and said: Brother Xu Rat, practice the eighteen strokes of Huaxia stick, look at this iron Huaxia stick, whether it fits in hand. ”

Xu Mouse responded: "Yes." "From the hands of Xu Maogong (Li Ji), he took the iron Huaxia stick, came to the middle of the courtyard, danced the iron Huaxia stick, and drove it with one move and one drill, and the eighteen-way Huaxia stick was completed in one go.

Zhai Rang said with a smile: "Brother Xu Rat, the stick method is amazing, and it has indeed been taught by a famous master. Tomorrow, Xu Gongzi and Xu Mouse brothers will come out to help, and they are not afraid that the Condor Dart Bureau will give us a wheel battle. ”

Shan Xiongxin said with a smile: Brother Xu Rat, I have seen many heroes and heroes who make sticks, and Brother Xu Rat's stick method is superior. ”

Xu Rat smiled and said: "The second master, my young master's master only taught me the eighteen-way Huaxia stick, and his old man taught my young master for more than four years, and my young master is the top martial arts. ”

Zhai Rang laughed after hearing this, and said: "Brother Xu Rat, you say so, tomorrow we will definitely defeat the Condor Dart Game, I can sleep peacefully tonight, please go back and have a good rest." ”
