Chapter 66: Zhang Xutuo shoots birds with arrows
Zhang Xutuo behaved very strangely today, no matter how Yang Guang ordered, he insisted on not taking the initiative to fight with Dye Gan, and only stepped in front of Dye Gan, and Zhengse said to him: "King Jin called you to come close and speak." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Dye Gan glared at Zhang Xutuo, turned around and walked in front of Yang Guang, and said angrily: "If you have anything to say, you can say it quickly." I haven't fed the general's horse yet. ”
Yang Guang didn't care about how disrespectful his words were, and pointed at Zhang Xutuo and said to him: "I proposed to General Changsun to invite you to come today, but I actually want to see your superb skills. I heard that General Changsun once shot down two flying eagles with an arrow during his stay in your Turks, and you have followed him to learn the art for many years, and your archery skills must not be bad. This is the forbidden army warrior beside His Majesty the Emperor of my dynasty, since the two of you are destined to meet here today, you might as well try your archery skills outside the palace gate, how about it? ”
Dye Gan grinned, revealing two rows of sharp teeth: "I heard that the general took you as an apprentice." You want me to come here today, it turns out that I don't have any good intentions, first asked someone to fight with me, tested my boxing skills, and now ordered someone to compete with me in archery, dare you not want to recognize me as a senior brother? ”
Yang Guang heard him misunderstand himself so much, his heart moved, and he secretly wondered: Why is this dyed and dry guard so strong? If he was just a Turkic disciple that Changsun Sheng had taken in, he shouldn't have been so wary of himself, could it be that he really ......
"You're mistaken. I really want to see the magic of General Changsun's archery, and I have no other meaning. Since he found out that Changsun Sheng would become Li Yuan's in-laws, Yang Guang couldn't help but come for a while, and refused to call Changsun Sheng Mr. and Dye Gan as his senior brother.
Dye Gan turned his head and glanced at Zhang Xutuo, and saw that he was holding his sword in his hand, and his face was expressionless in his way of retreat, so he asked Yang Guangdao defiantly: "If I don't agree to test the archery with this person today, won't I be able to walk?" ”
Yang Guang smiled, and deliberately provoked the dry road: "In the past two days, I have listened to General Changsun talk about how the Turks are fierce and brave, and they are good at riding and shooting, so I became curious, and I want to see the outstanding archery skills of the Turkic warriors, if you are in a hurry to go back to feed the horses for General Changsun, I can't force you to hold on, but I missed today's competition, and it will be difficult for me to recognize you as a senior brother in the future." ”
"Bring a bow and arrows." Dye Gan seemed to be quite unable to hear Yang Guang's derogatory treatment of the Turks, so he stretched out his hand and shouted.
Xian Yuluo had already heard Yang Guang say that he wanted to test the archery technique with Zhang Xutuo, so he struggled to stand up, and asked for a strong bow and a bag of feather arrows from the guardhouse on the side of the door. ”
Dye Gan was very hungry and others provoked him, so he took the bow and arrow from Xian Yuluo's hand angrily, and replied to Xian Yuluo seriously: "There are no flying eagles in the sky here, only small birds, wait for me to shoot a small bird and show it to you." As he spoke, he put the quiver on his body, put his arms slightly hard, and tried the strength of the bow in his hand, and after trying it, he couldn't help but raise his eyelids and glared at Xian Yuluo, who had a wicked smile, knowing that he had fallen into this kid's plot: the strength of the bow in his hand was at least three stones.
According to the standard of strength of the bow and arrow at that time, the ability to open a two-stone bow was already regarded as a rare wrestler in the army, and at the age of thirteen or fourteen years old, he could shoot down the birds in the sky with a one-stone bow and be called a marksman. And Xian Yuluo actually found a three-stone strong bow out of nowhere, handed it to himself, and kept saying that he wanted to use this three-stone strong bow to shoot down the birds in the sky, isn't this obviously intentionally trying to make a fool of himself in front of Yang Guang?
At this time, Dye Gan began to regret in his heart: if he didn't shout for a bow and arrows first, Xian Yuluo would take this strong bow, and maybe hand it over to Zhang Xutuo first, look at this forbidden army sergeant, although he has a big waist and a round waist, and looks quite powerful, but in terms of age, he is only a few years older than himself, if he shoots first, it will be difficult to shoot birds, and he can still have a way out.
But it was clear that he couldn't stand Yang Guang's words, and took the initiative to shout the sentence "bring a bow and arrow", and now he can't retreat from the battle no matter what, so that these middle-earth Han people look down on the Turks.
Thinking of this, Dye Gan took a sharp breath, exerted ten percent of his strength, and shouted: "Open", and actually pulled the three-stone strong bow away.
This strong bow was originally Jiao Er's usual thing, and a group of guards from the Jin Palace's mansion had been fighting with Jiao Er for a long time, and they all knew that he had a unique skill of opening a hard bow with one hand, and no matter what the archery was, just one breath could pull the three-stone strong bow up dozens of openings and closings, and this arm strength was unmatched. So, those who have good deeds took advantage of Jiao Er's unpreparedness and secretly took this three-stone strong bow to the guards' dormitory. Today, I just caught up with Yang Guangcunxin to take the opportunity of dyeing and testing the archery with Zhang Xutuo to test the depth of the two people's kung fu, and Dyeing Gan only knocked down Xian Yuluo twice, therefore, Xian Yuluo went to the guard room to see this strong bow at a glance, and he was happy at that time, and said in his heart: Turkic wild boy, this time the master has to ask you to plant a big one.
However, when Dye Gan exerted all his strength and forced the three-stone strong bow to the fullest, Xian Yuluo's eyeballs almost popped out of his sockets.
Dye Gan also learned to be obedient this time, and after opening the three-stone strong bow, he was not in a hurry to open the bow and take the arrow, but handed the bow into Zhang Xutuo's hand, panting and said: "You get started first, see if the strength of this bow can be used?" ”
Xian Yuluo was so anxious that he wanted to rush forward, snatched the bow from Zhang Xutuo's hand and returned it to Dye Gan, asking him to shoot an arrow first. Although he was shocked and surprised that Dye Gan could pull this strong bow apart, but after seeing Dye Gan open the bow, his face turned red, and his breath became heavy, and he saw that Dye Gan did not take arrows to shoot, but handed the bow to Zhang Xutuo.
Zhang Xutuo saw that after Dan Gan opened this bow, his face was already red and angry, and he knew that this must be a strong bow that was difficult to open, and Dye Gan was not sure to shoot down the birds in the sky with this bow, so he intended to transfer the bow to his own hands. Relying on his own strength, he took the bow from Dyegan's hand, exerted fifty percent of his strength, and pulled the bowstring first, but it was only less than half opened, and the bowstring retracted.
The strength of this bow is at least three stones, and he usually uses only a two-stone bow, and it is not easy to shoot down the birds in the sky with this three-stone bow with one arrow. When Zhang Xutuo was secretly surprised, Dye Gan handed over the bag of feather arrows again: "You, shoot an arrow first." ”
Zhang Xutuo had no choice but to take the arrow, and subconsciously glanced at Yang Guang, who was standing not far away, and saw that Yang Guang was staring at him with a cold gaze. He knew that he had incurred Yang Guang's resentment yesterday because he had reported to Li Yuan the news of the Jin Palace's food shortage, and if he was defeated by this Turkic boy in the archery test today, he didn't know how Yang Guang would punish himself.
Thinking of this, Zhang Xutuo secretly gritted his teeth, slowly pulled out an arrow from the quiver, put it on the bowstring, raised his head and looked at the sky, and saw that there were birds flying back and forth in the clear blue sky from time to time. He took a deep breath and shouted "open" violently, his left hand was like pushing Mount Tai, and his right hand was like holding a baby, pulling this three-stone strong bow like a full moon.
Everyone present could hear the sound of the bowstring, and a feathered arrow had shot straight into the air.
