Qiu Yi couldn't help but be stunned, if he said that he hated Qiu Qing first and Qiu Qing secondly, then he should have the third hatred for professors Qiu Rui and Zhu Mianzhi. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Qiu Rui's body was extremely weak when he was young, and he often had the worry of dying. Qiu Qing was just in case, so Qiu Yi's life before the age of thirteen was quite acceptable, and he could be called the eldest son of the Qiu family.

However, since Qiu Rui received the professor of Inhuman at the age of six, his health has been greatly healthy in just a few years, and by the time he was ten years old, he was already stronger than a boy of the same age. After that, Qiu Ruiqiang traveled alone on horseback, and Qiu Yi, as the eldest brother, hurriedly followed behind. Then Qiu Rui fell into a coma, and Qiu Yi was suspected by Qiu Qing and Qiu Zhen of murdering Qiu Rui for seizing the family business, so Qiu Yi was killed by medicine.

Qiu Rui has always felt guilty about Qiu Yi since then, but he doesn't know how to make up for it. And Qiu Yi also grew older, and his resentment towards Qiu Rui slowly dissipated. It's just that I don't know how to explain to Qiu Rui, and I don't blame him. So the relationship between the two brothers is very plain from the outside.

Qiu Yi said indifferently: "I heard that martial arts practice is the best when I was a teenager, I am over twenty years old, I don't know if it is useful." ”

Qiu Rui said with a smile: "The younger brother's master's surname is Fei Changfang, he said that he is a monk who cultivates immortals, and the exercises he teaches are not the exercises of ordinary generals to polish their strength, but the techniques of self-cultivation and qi cultivation to become immortals." Therefore, it does not depend on the young or the old, as long as you practice, there are many benefits. Just look at the individual's talent and look at the final achievement. ”

Qiu Yi hesitated and said, "Such a good exercise, if you pass it on to me, aren't you afraid of being punished by the respected teacher?" ”

Qiu Rui said with a smile: "My master once left a message, and I want to learn this method purely by a fateful word, not because others can't understand it." For ordinary people, it's just a set of exercises to strengthen the body. If he can practice this exercise, he will only be even happier, because there is a successor to his exercises, and he can be regarded as his follower, and he can also practice it. ”

Qiu Yi put his mind at ease, because he already wanted to learn and might not be able to learn, but it didn't hurt. So I discussed with Qiu Rui that it would not be too late to learn when there was nothing to do at night.

Zhu Mian asked: "Brother-in-law, Brother Rui has always said that your archery skills are excellent, and you can hit every shot within a hundred steps, I don't know if it can be true?" Can you give me some pointers, I'm going to fight next month, but I don't know anything about bows and arrows. ”

Qiu Yi asked Cheng Qi to take the big bow on his back, untie the cloth bag, and said to Zhu Mian: "My bow technique can only be said to be practice makes perfect, and there is no skill, which is the same as that used by the master who taught you the bow technique. I can't learn it, and this is also a question of whether I have a talent for bows and arrows, and I can't change it. Ruidi said that I have a hundred steps within a hundred steps, and I don't have the strength of a thousand catties, but I can pull a hard bow of three stones. It's just that there is a treasure bow that only needs one and a half stones of strength to shoot the distance of a three-stone strong bow. ”

After Zhu Mian took it, he pulled it lightly, pulled the big bow in a full circle, took a long arrow to remove the iron cluster, and shot it towards the open space, which could shoot a distance of 17 or 80 paces. Qiu Ruiqi said: "Such a treasure bow, if it is made into the power of three stones, it will not be able to shoot two or three hundred steps. ”

Qiu Yi shook his head and said: "For the sake of accuracy, it is best to draw a bow and shoot an arrow within a hundred steps, and after a distance of one hundred and fifty steps, it is difficult to see and shoot inaccurately, making it useless." Moreover, most of the strong bows that can open the power of three stones are fierce generals in the army, how can ordinary archers open the bow of three stones. ”

Qiu Rui nodded and said, "That's right, but Chang Gong is usually about one and a half stones, and Chang Gong is the strongest within sixty steps, and after shooting a hundred steps, it is weak and weak." This bow is so powerful within a hundred paces, it can be regarded as a rare weapon. I wonder how long it takes to make this bow? If we can make more, our army will have another big weapon when there is no big yellow crossbow. ”

The big yellow crossbow is a military weapon of the court, powerful, with the power of ten stones, three layers of heavy armor can be penetrated within seventy steps, and two hundred steps away can penetrate double leather armor, and the farthest can shoot three hundred steps away. Li Ling, a famous general at the time of Emperor Wu, was rumored to have only a thousand big yellow crossbows, so he fought with the 80,000 Hun cavalry led by the Xiongnu Shan Yuqin, killing tens of thousands of enemies. In addition to Li Ling's personal ability, it is the power of the rhubarb crossbow.

It's just that the rhubarb crossbow is difficult to make, and it is not easy for non-skilled craftsmen to make it, and it takes a long time, and it takes countless years to make it. For many years, it has been rumored that there are only about 10,000 in the entire Han family. If this bow is a little easier to make, it may become a new standing weapon.

Qiu Yi recalled: "This bow was made by a carpenter surnamed Wang in the mountains west of the city for several months, and it was given to my nephew and his sister's family for the funeral. It should be easier to make than a rhubarb crossbow. ”

Qiu Rui arched his hand and persuaded: "With such a talent, since the eldest brother has an old relationship with him, he can be called into our army to serve." ”

Qiu Yi said: "Well, I'm afraid it's a little troublesome, let's try it in a few days......"

The three of them were negotiating, only to see the black-clothed old servant Qiu Zhen leading dozens of people towards this side, Qiu Yi couldn't help frowning when he saw it, so he stopped talking.

Qiu Zhi had a gloomy old face, less black and white in his eyes, more pale yellow, and his pupils like dead fish stared at Qiu Yi tightly, but Qiu Yi was unmoved.

He has already grown up, and he is no longer the thirteen-year-old helpless boy he was back then, and he is no longer afraid of this old servant in black, at most he is just a little jealous of the power in the Qiu family he holds.

It's just that from today on, Qiu Yi is already a wide sea and a fish, the sky is high and the birds can fly, and he is no longer as jealous of the Qiu and Zhu clans as before.

I saw Qiu Zhen first saluting Qiu Rui and Zhu Miangong, showing great humility. But when facing Qiu Yi, the almost decrepit body stood straight in front of three feet, and said with a little disdain:

"The eldest prince, these people are the captains of the tun, team, even, and army specially selected by the lord for you, and I hope you will get to know each other, lest when the time comes, the soldiers still don't know the generals, the generals don't know the soldiers, and they will make big jokes, which will affect the prestige of the Qiu clan in my Zhaoling."

Qiu Rui on the side has always respected Qiu Qian, the head of the Qiu family, very much, but the hatred between Qiu Yi and Qiu Zhen cannot be resolved at all, and this time he can only watch the two fight again.

Qiu Yi glanced coldly at the more than thirty people, although he didn't know most of them, he only saw that two of Qiu Qian's four sons stood among them, thinking about it, these people should be loyal servants loyal to the Qiu family.

Qiu Yi knew that Qiu Zhen wanted to do something empty, but Qiu Yi had already thought of countermeasures, and he was basically fearless about Qiu Qian, so he said lightly: "I am the commander of the volunteer soldiers appointed by the county king, how to deal with the many soldiers and officials under my command, that is my business, so I don't have to worry about General Qiu." ”

Qiu Zhen sneered and said: "You are indeed the commander of the volunteer soldiers, but the soldiers of these three departments are fully supported by the money of the Zhu and Qiu families, which is almost no different from the private soldiers of the Zhu and Qiu families. As the head of the Qiu Mansion, I must take care of these soldiers, and I can't let others take them away at will. ”

Qiu Yi also sneered and said, "Manager Qiu said that these volunteer soldiers are the private soldiers of the Zhu and Qiu families? When did the Zhu and Qiu families have the titles of the court? Already allowed by the court to recruit private soldiers? How do I not know this? ”

Qiu Zhen was shocked in his heart, knowing that Fang Cai had lost his words for a while. According to the laws of the court, except for the lords of the feudal state, the princes and the princes of the palace, the princes and other people with titles, and the miscellaneous generals and generals above the middle of the court, no one else is allowed to have private soldiers with weapons and armor. The noble clans of all parts of the country can only have a small number of guards that can be equipped with swords. Other extra brave people can only be called guests and apprentices, not private soldiers.

Qiu Zhen waved his sleeves and snorted coldly: "Hugh is nonsense, I didn't say that this volunteer soldier is the private soldier of the Zhu and Qiu families, I just said that it is no different." ”

Qiu Yi said: "It's like that, I understand." It's just ...... Last night, I heard that the Zhu and Qiu families wanted to use all their family wealth to obtain the identity of the county lord and the dozens of acres of land and wealthy families of the Zhaoling tribes, as well as the position of the volunteer soldier Sima. These, it seems that the county monarch has already done all for the Zhu and Qiu families. In other words, all the money and property of the Zhu and Qiu families actually belong to the public property of the county. Why are you, the head of the Qiu family, still have a mouthful of your own money. Could it be? Are the Zhu and Qiu families deceiving the county monarch with lies? ”

Qiu Zhi broke out in a cold sweat after hearing this, and Qiu Yi said it well. If it stands to reason, since yesterday, the Zhu and Qiu families have not only obtained the consent of all ethnic groups to sell their land, but also recognized the identity of the two families as the Zhaoling wealthy clans, and early this morning the county magistrate granted the Zhu and Qiu families the posts of generals at all levels, and the money and wealth of the Zhu and Qiu families have nothing to do with the two families, and all of them can be regarded as the public goods in the county.

Although this is the case, except for Qiu Yi, others seem to have not reacted to this huge change. This seems to be very different from the original idea of the Zhu and Qiu families, to use their wealth to raise soldiers in the county, so as to obtain status and power in the county. I didn't expect the original wonder, but there were many flaws in it that I didn't expect. This made Qiu Zhen extremely anxious, and he no longer had the intention of arguing with Qiu Yi, so he hurriedly turned around and returned to the city.

Qiu Yi and the other three had no intention of talking anymore after Qiu Qian's trouble, so they left the camp or recruited troops.

It may be that the first batch of volunteers guarded the Zhaoling Tomb without many casualties, and they received a lot of rewards and money from the county, which is a huge example. After receiving the news of another 1,000 recruits, the extremely poor people in the county who lacked food and clothing rushed to apply, and thousands of people gathered on the same day. So Qiu Yi got his wish and recruited a song of soldiers in one day.

It's just that the soldiers still need two or three days to arrange family affairs before they can come to recruit for the army again, so although Qiu Yi summoned a song of men, in fact, there was still no one to use. There were only more than 30 subordinates of the soldiers and officers who were eyeing him and did not know his heart.
