Chapter 5 Captain Yunlu
Li Er was shocked and relieved, his son was so outstanding, what else did he have to be dissatisfied with? Although he has some scruples in his heart, after all, blood is thicker than water, where is the knot that the father and son can't connect?
Li Kuan didn't pay attention to the expression on Li Er's face who was standing on the side as if he had been constipated for more than ten years, he was now completely engaged in this battle, his ears were trembling slightly, catching the faint sound coming from all directions, the sound of arrows cutting through the air was so sharp and piercing, and the sense of urgency that made the pores on his back shrink violently made Li Kuan's nerves tense all the time, and he didn't dare to slack off in the slightest.
"Whoosh ......" arrows shot from all directions, and the soldiers hiding in the shadows quickly pulled out the arrows from the quiver on their bodies, and then put them on the bow and arrows, aiming at Li Kuan and shooting over, they are Xuanjiawei, with their own pride. Before this test, they had discussed whether to release water to let His Royal Highness the King of Chu pass the test. But they came to the unanimous conclusion, that is, to do their best to block it, because they are the most elite army of the Tang Empire, how can they not even compare to a thirteen-year-old boy? Therefore, it was decided not to release the water, so that His Royal Highness the King of Chu would retreat.
But the result of the fact gave them a head-on blow, His Royal Highness the King of Chu, the target they thought would be easy to solve, was unexpectedly strong, that kind of wonderful pace made it difficult for them to aim, but it was also difficult for these battle-hardened soldiers, they predicted and calculated the next move of His Royal Highness the King of Chu, and shot arrows in advance. But this didn't stump it, and even when Li Kuan stopped, he let them shoot. It's all blocked. He even took the time to return fire, throwing an arrow at one of his brothers. This made these Xuanjia guards feel that their pride had been completely trampled on, something that had never happened in more than ten years. So they couldn't accept it for a while. It was decided to defeat Li Kuan, the king of Chu, at any cost.
Li Kuan felt that the pace of the attack was getting faster and faster, and the superposition of the force on the arrow also made it more and more difficult for him to resist. But Li Kuan felt more and more excited, it was this kind of pressure, this kind of pressure has never been over since Li Er ascended the throne, before that, Li Kuan's cultivation speed can be said to be very fast, but there has been no pressure in the past few years. He cultivated the Heart Fist, but his progress was slow.
At this time, the muscles of Li Kuan's whole body were mobilized, slightly vibrating to dissolve the power coming from all sides, and the muscle contraction and vibration dissolved the power from his hand invisibly. This concussive force has exercised the muscles of Li Kuan's whole body, which is also the result of Li Kuan's previous and present lives as a human being: the power is dissolved by the way of muscle concussion throughout the body. This is also a microscopic skill that can only be obtained by practicing inner boxing to a high depth.
This kind of force is like a sledgehammer, striking Li Kuan's stubborn iron, quenching out the impurities in those bodies. Although it is not like the washing and marrow depicted in the novel, what black magazines quickly discharge, forming black dirt. But he was also covered in hot sweat and comfortable all over.
Li Kuan felt that if he persisted like this for a while, he could really stand at the pinnacle of bright energy, and he would have the opportunity to peek at the dark energy class that he had been fascinated by. Therefore, he did not shoot other arrows to fight back against these soldiers in the shadows, he hoped that such a storm of arrows would last a little longer.
"Is this still human?" Countless soldiers in the shadows asked themselves in their hearts, they knew what kind of power the arrows fired by these three-stone strong bows had, this arrow that could shoot through leather armor and then shoot people to death, although there were no arrows, but the power was not reduced at all. Even their commander, General Duan Zhixuan, couldn't stand and let them shoot like this, and swing his sword to block for so long. It's not a matter of martial arts. It's a matter of physical strength, and the body can withstand the impact of these forces in order to really stand still and block the arrows that come at a rapid pace.
Li Kuan's appearance is so demonic, this is simply the nemesis of archers, with such a keen reflexes, and this body comparable to a monster, if you are not a soldier, it is a violent thing, and in the army is the place where such a warrior can show his skills. Playing with intrigues and tricks in the court, as long as there are those scholars who have no power to restrain the chicken, the men should fight on the battlefield, the so-called 'men are in the killing arena, brave like a bear and a wolf, killing and fighting between heaven and earth, tragic and shocking the court. 'Only once on the battlefield can you be considered a real man. This is the most simple value of the people in the army, and those who have never seen blood, no matter how high their knowledge is, they cannot completely gain their admiration.
Li Er also understood the difficulty, and the more he was so, the more frightened he became. It's only been six years, and a sick seedling has turned into a martial arts master, and the dense arrow rain like this can't hurt him a single hair? This is simply the rhythm of being able to take the head of the general in the army, and there are only a few such fierce generals in the entire Tang Dynasty, but the youngest of these people is now middle-aged, and they have all reached the age of the twilight of the West Mountain. The next generation has not grown up yet, these veterans are still persevering, Cheng Yanjin is now forty and three, this is already the youngest among the generals of Tiance Mansion, only Hou Junji and Li Shiji are younger than him, and the rest of the generals like Liu Hongji, Qu Tutong, Duan Zhixuan and others are a few years older than Cheng Yanjin. These people have been through a hundred battles and have a lot of dark wounds, but they still insist on supporting the Tang Dynasty's Jiangshan Sheji, Li Er feels guilty about these generals in his heart, but the younger generation has not grown up, and one by one they are still in Chang'an City, and the big girl who is teasing the big girl with a flowery mouth, how can she take on a heavy responsibility?
So seeing Li Kuan's martial arts, Li Er was very happy, at least there was a successor to the Tang Dynasty generals, so there would not be an embarrassing situation where there was no general in the whole country. Therefore, Li Er also had the heart to test how much potential Li Kuan had, and did not give an order to those soldiers to stop.
The soldiers were so engrossed in their archery that they thought about how to hit the target that was standing still, but no matter how they changed the angle of their shot, or how they could shoot a series of arrows. They were helpless against the young man wielding two arrows, and although the young man's face had turned red after all this period of hard work, there was no sign of indifference.
When they stretched out their hands to the quiver on their waists again and prepared to draw out the arrows, they found that before they knew it, a pot of arrows had been shot out by all of them, and this group of people was forty or fifty, and each of them had fifty arrows in the quiver, which means that more than two thousand arrows were shot out by them in less than half a column of incense. At this time, they felt a sore arm, this is overexertion, although they are also considered to be extremely strong, this short period of time to open the three-stone strong bow forty or fifty times also made their arms difficult to exert force anymore, they didn't notice it because they were too focused before, and now they reacted.
"Hiss......" moved his sore arm, and the corner of the soldier's mouth took a slight breath of cool air, such a strain may take many days of rest to heal, so can't the young man standing between the circle of arrows feel physically tired? These soldiers walked out of the shadows and looked at His Royal Highness the King of Chu standing in the middle of a circle of arrows, their faces full of reverence.
"I've seen the emperor and His Royal Highness the King of Chu!" The leading general dressed as a lieutenant led a group of brothers under his command to salute Li Er and Li Kuan, Li Er smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and waved, indicating that there was no need to be polite. Li Kuan didn't seem to hear it, and he was still standing dumbly.
At this time, Li Kuan's heart was full of monstrous waves, because under the impact of countless arrows, his whole body was in a violent shock, and his ability to control the muscles at the highest depth was actually ineffective, which made him feel shocked in his heart. Therefore, he is now trying his best to control the muscles of his whole body, and he must let this uncontrolled shock be reversed.
Li Kuan's complexion changed for a while, and the sweat on his handsome face began to ooze rapidly, condensed into drops, and dripped down his cheeks. Drop by drop onto the ground, the muscles, epithelia, and even bones and viscera of his whole body were trembling slightly, which was the external appearance of shock.
Li Kuan's steel teeth were clenched, his eyes were wide open, and his sword eyebrows flew upside down to his temples. Clenched the two arrows in both fists, trying his best to fight against the uncontrollable force, which could still control a small part of the muscles so that they no longer trembled, and then control another part.
In this way, a little bit of competition, the muscles and bones of the whole body seem to have been washed again, and after being controlled by Li Kuan again, Li Kuanyu found that this time the competition made his muscles and bones become stronger and more powerful, and his hands clenched and felt that there was a stronger force than before in the condensation, and the muscles that could be controlled were also more comprehensive, and now Li Kuan felt that his strength had increased a lot after this time, and he might be able to have a strength of eight hundred catties. This kind of strength can be described as amazing, you must know that the world boxing champion in later generations is only more than 900 pounds to 1,000 pounds of strength, which is converted into more than 800 pounds in the Tang Dynasty.
Li Kuan stood quietly for about half a pillar of incense, and finally completely regained the control of his body, and then let out a long breath: "Whew! Just now, the son gained a little, and I hope that my father will forgive my sins! Looking at Li Er, who had been waiting on the side for a long time, Li Kuan hurriedly bowed down and said.
"Kuan'er's martial arts can be described as a peerless general's asset, and now if you have it, it will definitely go to the next level, Datang will definitely protect my rivers and mountains with a junior like you, so that those barbarians can't wreak havoc in the Central Plains!" Li Er didn't blame Li Kuan, but praised him.
"Since you have passed my test, then I will allow you to go out with the army, and now Li Kuan has stepped forward to listen to the seal." Li Er put his hands behind his back and said with a stern expression.
"Erchen is here!" Li Kuan stepped forward and knelt on one knee, he has been accustomed to this kind of etiquette over the years, and this kind of etiquette is also very rare, usually just bowing and saluting, this bowing ceremony was learned by the Japanese people, so a large group of Japanese slaves kept bowing.
"Today, Li Kuan, the king of Chu, is the captain of Yunlu, and he will go to the Turkic border with Li Jing, the general manager of the westward march, and set off in three days!" Li Er formally agreed to Li Kuan's request to go with the army. (To be continued......)
