Chapter 250: The King of the Door Sends a Reward
Xiong Tingbi's performance can be said to have been greatly recognized by King Chu Ding, and his personality has also been appreciated, although Zu Dashou and others have entered the eyes of King Chu Ding early, but after all, they are foreign scholars, and King Chu Ding also hopes that local scholars can fight for him as a prince.
The children of those clans in the palace also participated in the competition, but these people were pampered, and they were the opponents of Zu Dashou and the Deng family's twins.
Although Xiong Tingbi is dressed plainly, he has real talent and learning, and in the face of the sons of Zu Dashou and other general soldiers, he can still be neither humble nor arrogant, and even speak sarcastically, it is such courage that is enough to make people impressed!
King Chuding said hello a few times, and then said to the eunuch beside him: "Come on, take this king's wolf bow!" ”
Everyone was also taken aback when they heard the Heavenly Wolf Bow, although Li Mi and the others didn't know, but those generals and even the children of the sect master were all shining with their eyes at this time, which showed how precious this thing was!
The eunuch didn't dare to hesitate, and when even if he asked people to run back, take the wolf bow that day, and open the box to see, Xiong Tingbi couldn't help but be surprised!
"This ...... This is the Sirius Bow! ”
Due to the dry weather in winter, the bowstring is also tight, so the bow in the box has removed the bowstring, but even so, you can still feel a simple atmosphere!
Xiong Tingbi clearly saw a line of small characters engraved on the bow arm, "Imperial Gift Xu Wei Gong Tiande"!
This is the relic of Xu Da, the first founder of the Ming Dynasty!
Xu Da can be described as the first fierce general of the Ming Dynasty, the war exploits are impressive, the name goes down in history, the remnants of Mongolia are Xu Da waved his division to the north to completely exterminate, after Xu Da's death, posthumously crowned the king of Zhongshan, nicknamed Wuning, given to the three generations of all the kings, the Yin of Zhongshan, the imperial Shinto inscription, with the Taimiao, the portrait of the hero temple, can be described as extremely glorious.
This wolf bow is said to be Xu Da's relic, but for some reason it fell into the hands of King Chuding, although it has gone through a hundred years, this bow is not decayed, but exudes a warm luster like jade!
Li Mi was also surprised, because it can be said in the historical data that King Chu Ding is a miser, how could he be so generous, and even the relics of Xu Da, the king of Zhongshan, were rewarded to Xiong Tingbi!
In fact, Li Mi really didn't know that the line of the King of Chu has always been close to the imperial lineage, and the grace is heavy, and the King of Qin, the King of Shu and the King of Zhou are known as the four major vassal kings of the rich world in the Ming Dynasty, and the King of Chu is prosperous in this line, and at the end of the Ming Dynasty, there are no less than 10,000 descendants, and it is conceivable how it prospered.
Xiong Tingbi was also very excited at this time, he was originally a poor and happy person, although he didn't say that he regarded money as dung, but if King Chuding rewarded it, he would definitely refuse, even if it was superficial.
However, this is a relic of Xu Da, the king of Zhongshan!
Xu Dawen is a martial artist, good at governing the army, and has made immortal military exploits, he is simply a mythical figure in the Ming Dynasty.
King Chu Ding saw everyone's eyes, and he was also proud, and smiled at Xiong Tingbi: "Your vision is not bad, this is indeed the thing of King Zhongshan, and it is a waste to put it in the treasury, it is better to give it to you, I hope you will guard against arrogance and rashness, shine in the martial arts exam, and be a model for my Wu Chu disciples!" ”
As soon as King Chuding said this, Xiong Tingbi also hurriedly accepted the reward, and knelt down to King Chuding and said: "The student thanks the prince for his reward, and he will not dare to forget the prince's teachings!" ”
"Get up." King Chu Ding also laughed, and then beckoned to the eunuch, whispered a few words to the eunuch, and the eunuch nodded frequently, and then walked forward to proclaim.
"This round of riding and shooting is wonderful, the prince is very happy, he specially gave three horses, the Tianshuang horse was given to the first ancestor of the great birthday, and the Deng twin sons Zidian and Bai Lu, and the three of them stepped forward to receive the thanks!"
King Chu Ding did not favor one over the other, if he just rewarded Xiong Tingbi, it would inevitably be suspected of protecting his shortcomings, and this martial arts performance was to enhance the influence of King Chu, and how could he fall into the hands of others.
This time, the three of Zu Dashou are rewarded for the sake of a bowl of water, and it is also to mobilize the enthusiasm of others and make them work harder in future projects.
The groom took out the three horses, and it was really a horse as its name suggests, that day the frost horse was gray, with a few black spots on the buttocks, majestic, and it was a rare horse in the Western Regions.
And Zidian and Bai's Lu are also not bad, the three of them are also full of joy, Zu Dashou is not happy with Xiong Tingbi, and he is even more jealous in his heart, but the Deng twins sent heartfelt congratulations.
Xiong Tingbi also returned the salute to the Deng twins, but he also ignored Zu Dashou, and King Chu Ding did not reconcile from it, in his opinion, there is such a competitive mentality between the two sides, and the competition can be more beautiful!
After receiving the reward, the next competition was not unexpected, due to Xiong Tingbi's amazing move, there was no need for a competition in foot shooting, King Chu Ding just let some clan disciples and some second-rate family disciples with a weak background participate, and the right to be a scene.
Even in the second competition, not too many people dare to come forward, after all, Xiong Tingbi's strength is obvious to all, and the deterrent power is still there, who dares to be bored?
The specific strength is divided into three small items, namely drawing a hard bow, dancing a knife and lifting a stone, and the bow is divided into eight, ten, and twelve forces; The knife is divided into eighty, one hundred and one hundred and twenty catties, it is said that a martial arts event was held during the last Chongzhen period, and there are only two people in the whole country who can dance one hundred and twenty catties of big swords, and the other stones are divided into two hundred, two hundred and fifty and three hundred catties.
No one may dare to compete in pulling a hard bow, but dancing knives and lifting stones are different from drawing bows, drawing bows is skillful, and the power of dancing knives and lifting stones is different from drawing bows, especially lifting stones, as long as you have the strength to do it, and it is not as good as pulling a bow to pay attention to any skills, so the participants are also full of expectations and confidence.
Of course, Zu Dashou and the Deng twins also had to compete, and Xiong Tingbi, who received the reward, also wanted to appear again, but was pulled back by Li Mi and took the initiative to give up the opportunity to compete.
Because Li Mi knows very well that after the strength of the competition, it is the real actual combat competition, in addition to the demonstration of the routines of swords, guns, swords, halberds, and fighting, that is the real highlight!
Xiong Tingbi had already opened his bow left and right earlier, and if he participated in the competition again, the consumption would be really large, and he was afraid that he would suffer a big loss in the next actual combat confrontation.
He has successfully attracted the hatred and anger of Zu Dashou, and these children of the family all like to hold together, when the time comes, the partnership will really be against Xiong Tingbi, if he loses, it doesn't matter if he hurts himself, the real embarrassment is King Chu Ding!
Just after receiving the reward, he lost the actual confrontation, and for King Chu Ding, this slap in the face came too quickly.
Therefore, Tian Ji horse racing is general, based on overall considerations, Li Mi still dissuaded Xiong Tingbi, and also hoped that he could preserve his strength, besides, Xiong Tingbi at this time was born a blockbuster, and he was bound to be attacked by a group, and he must go all out to participate in the strength competition, so as not to lose the face of the King of Chu, the physical consumption is too great.
After Li Mi stopped Xiong Tingbi, he also explained two sentences simply, and Xiong Tingbi was relieved.
This move made the old lady and King Chu Ding see it in their eyes, the old lady's eyes were full of appreciation, but King Chu Ding frowned and said: "This Li Mi is still scheming in the end, not as frank as Xiong Tingbi." ”
The old lady just smiled noncommittally, and said to King Chuding: "Let's wait and see." ”
This time is also limited, although there is a pergola shade, but the miasma on this school field is a little difficult to control, compared with other projects, this competition is too dull, Chu Ding Wang said to the old lady.
"If this king wants to lose a little company, I will ask the old lady to sit in the Chinese army here."
The old lady also smiled and said: "It turns out that the prince is the one who fought this idea, no wonder the old man is presiding over this competition." ”
King Chu Ding also smiled, and took the eunuch to leave first, after all, after watching it for most of the day, he was also a little hungry, and he couldn't bring food to this school field, and he had to replenish some physical strength.
As soon as King Chu Ding left like this, those who were competing for strength lost their interest, and the atmosphere fell to a low point for a while, and those clan ladies and noblewomen in Wuchang City, as well as all the ladies, also withdrew.
The old lady looked at it, then asked many scholars to go back to rest, had lunch, and then competed in the afternoon.
After all, it is still necessary to rank these people in groups, how to make decisions, and how to weigh the strength of each scholar, these situations are still familiar to the people on King Chuding's side, so the old lady does not dare to make his own opinions, and after competing with his strength, he can only let them go back to rest.
Zhang Huangting has been playing with Zheng Duofu in the palace, and has wanted to come over to find Li Mi several times, but unfortunately he has not been able to make the trip, this time Princess Guining and Zheng Duofu and others also went back, Zhang Huangting finally saw Li Mi and Xiong Tingbi.
However, Zhang Huangting also frowned a little about the extra Gu Master Suo Changsheng beside Li Mi, thinking that he didn't quite look at Suo Changsheng.
Sometimes the things of this time are so unreasonable, it is clear that they are two people who have never met, some are like each other at first sight, and some are like enemies at first sight, Zhang Huangting thought that Suo Changsheng was so naturally resistant.
However, Suo Changsheng was different, after seeing Zhang Huangting, his eyes swept up and down and looked at him unscrupulously!
He was already a little cynical, but at this time, his eyes were scanning Zhang Huangting's body, and he seemed even more angry!
Although Zhang Huangting is dressed in men's clothes and has an Adam's apple, most of the structure of his lower body is biased towards women, and his psychology is also relatively feminine, how can he endure Suo Changsheng's presumptuous eyes!
"Look again, believe it or not, the master will gouge out your dog eyes!"
In the face of Zhang Huangting's domineering anger, Suo Changsheng smiled, touched his chin and said: "Well, although it sounds domineering, but in the end it lacks three points of masculinity, you need to know that this masculinity is not something that can be made up for loudly......
Zhang Huangting's biggest secret is his true body, and the only people he knows are Li Mi and Qiu Dong, at this time, let the second-rate Suo Changsheng comment meaningfully, Zhang Huangting was a little right, and immediately said angrily.
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
Li Mi also knew that Suo Changsheng was not very human, but he was afraid that he would see something, but he didn't have to say it when he saw it, otherwise it would be difficult for him to be friends in the future, so he mediated.
"Okay, Changsheng, you also talk about these things that you don't have, Huang Ting is my brother-like companion, you can't be presumptuous."
Although Li Mi is not a few years older than Suo Changsheng, the old mother Suo Ke entrusted herself to Li Mi, which is equivalent to treating Li Mi as an elder.
It's just that this time he was a little abnormal, and said to Li Mi: "Brother Li, I listen to you for everything else, but I have to make up my own mind about this matter." ”
Li Mi couldn't help frowning, and said to Suo Changsheng: "What do you want to make up your own mind?" ”
Suo Changsheng looked at Zhang Huangting again, and said with a smile: "This little brother's yin and yang qi is not divided, it is an extremely rare chaotic Xuan body, and it is the most suitable for cultivating witchcraft Gu art, this Gu technique is forgotten, look at him He is also a clean-loving person, but this witchcraft, no one is more suitable than him!" ”
"So...... I'm going to take him as an apprentice! ”
When Suo Changsheng said this, Li Mi was also a little crying and laughing.
