Chapter 28: Demonstrate marksmanship
Xianfeng has a very good impression of Li Zhen, and it is very awkward to see Li Zhensi's writing.
Especially when Li Zhen pauses after taking a bite of food, and then takes a bite of food and then carefully picks up the vegetables, so back and forth, Xianfeng feels even more funny. Xianfeng said: "Li Zhen, you are a general in the army, you practice all day long, and you have to go to the battlefield to fight. It stands to reason that the amount of food should be very large, why is it so gentle, is it because of a small appetite, or is the food prepared in the imperial dining room not appetizing? ”
Li Zhen put down his chopsticks and said respectfully: "In front of the emperor, don't dare to be presumptuous." ”
Xianfeng listened to Li Zhen's truth, and said with a smile: "Since it's a meal, naturally you can't go hungry." You can eat what you normally want, and I'll see how much your stomach can hold? ”
Han Laiyu stood beside him, extremely surprised in his heart.
This little-known general actually won the favor of the emperor, which is a great honor.
After all, there are very few officials who can dine with Xianfeng, especially if they can make Xianfeng care, there are even fewer. For example, Qi Shan, it was only because he defeated the bandits that Xianfeng would let Qi Shan dine together. But Qi Shan didn't get Xianfeng's care, and being so spoiled was enough to make Li Zhen a celebrity in front of Xianfeng.
Li Zhen glanced at the plates of exquisite dishes placed on the table, showed hesitation on his face, and said: "Your Majesty, the servants eat unsightly and insulting Sven, I am afraid that they will stain Your Majesty's eyes." ”
Xianfeng put down the chopsticks in his hand and said, "I forgive you for your innocence." ”
Li Zhen took a deep breath and secretly said that in order to please you, Lao Tzu took out the level of eating back then. At that moment, Li Zhen was holding a rice bowl in his left hand and chopsticks in his right hand, quickly sweeping over the exquisite dishes placed on the table of the Eight Immortals. The speed of eating and picking up vegetables made Xianfeng jaw-dropping and incredible.
Li Zhen is strong, he is a young man in his early twenties, he has a large amount of food, and the bowls in the palace are all fine small bowls, Li Zhen ate eight bowls of rice, swept the dishes on the table, and only then did he burp slightly.
Xianfeng swallowed his saliva, but he was aroused by Li Zhen.
Although Li Zhen looked rude and indecent, he looked at Xianfeng's movements with his spare eyes.
Qi Shan sat next to Li Zhen, secretly complaining in his heart.
It's rare to dine with the emperor, why is there such a person who can toss? Qi Shan sighed in his heart, and once again reached out and pulled Li Zhen's clothes, signaling Li Zhen not to be too presumptuous. Li Zhen came back to his senses, and secretly scolded Qi Shan for being troublesome, causing himself to kneel again, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the slave eats indecently and insults the holy face, please condemn your majesty." ”
Xianfeng noticed Qi Shan's small movements and said, "Aiqing, don't scare Li Zhen. ”
After a pause, Xianfeng said, "I see that you eat so deliciously, and you also have a great appetite. Han Laiyu, let the people in the imperial dining room prepare a table of dishes, I haven't eaten yet. ”
Xianfeng thought about making fun of Li Zhen, and asked again: "Li Zhen, can you still eat the food if you bring it up again?" ”
Li Zhen shook his head again and again and said, "The slave has eaten and can't eat anymore." ”
When Xianfeng heard this, he laughed loudly and was very happy.
After a while, the dishes were served on the table again, and Xianfeng was in a good mood and actually ate two bowls of rice. Compared with Li Zhen, Xianfeng is taught to eat, eat elegantly, chew slowly, and swallow slowly. When Xianfeng finished eating, it took half an hour before he removed the dishes on the table of the Eight Immortals.
Xianfeng burped and said, "Li Zhen, you are good at using foreign guns, how about giving me a show?" ”
Li Zhen said: "Performing for the emperor, the slave is fortunate to have three lives. ”
After a pause, Li Zhen said again: "Your Majesty, ordinary foreign guns are not easy to use, and the foreign guns of the slaves were placed in the post station and not brought into the palace, so I am afraid that it is a little inconvenient now." ”
Xianfeng waved his hand and said, "It's okay, I will send someone to fetch it." ”
At that moment, Xianfeng instructed: "Han Laiyu, send someone to bring Li Zhen's foreign gun into the palace." ”
"Wow!"
Han Laiyu bowed down and left with small steps.
Xianfeng took Qi Shan and Li Zhen out of the imperial dining room and walked towards the martial arts training ground where martial arts and archery were usually practiced. After entering the martial arts training ground, Xianfeng said: "Li Zhen, what items are needed, just arrange." This time, I want to see you perform, and if you fail to show your sharpshooter demeanor, it will be a crime of deception. ”
Li Zhen said confidently: "Your Majesty, the slave will definitely open the emperor's eyes." ”
Qi Shan swallowed his saliva and wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, but he was a little worried in his heart. Li Zhen pondered for a moment, and then instructed the little eunuch who was following him: "Prepare three arrow targets, and prepare ten small vases." ”
The little eunuch nodded in response and ran away quickly.
Xianfeng asked, "Li Zhen, do you want the arrow target and vase, don't you want anything else?" ”
Li Zhen replied: "Your Majesty, the arrow target and vase are enough. ”
Xianfeng nodded, and stopped talking.
In a quarter of an hour, the little eunuch had already placed three arrow targets, which were placed at one hundred paces, one hundred and fifty steps, and two hundred steps, and were divided into three levels. As for the ten vases brought, they were all placed next to them, and they were useless for the time being. Half an hour later, Han Laiyu brought Li Zhen's sniper rifle.
Xianfeng's eyes flashed brightly, and he ordered, "Li Zhen, let's start." ”
"Slaves obey!"
Li Zhen replied, then carefully checked the bullets in the sniper rifle, and said, "Your Majesty, the slave will shoot the arrow target a hundred steps away first." ”
Xianfeng hummed and stood aside and watched.
Li Zhen picked up the sniper rifle, aimed at the arrow target a hundred steps away, and pulled the trigger.
"Bang!"
A gunshot rang out, and a muffled sound was heard in an instant.
"Hit the Heart!"
A moment later, the eunuch standing next to the target shouted.
Li Zhen did not stop, and successively aimed at the arrow targets placed one hundred and fifty paces away and two hundred paces away, and then calmly pulled the trigger. Two bullets shot out at a rapid pace, and finally hit the red heart of the target unbiasedly. Xianfeng watched from the side, bowing his head slightly, and a flash of brilliance flashed on his face.
However, Xianfeng said: "Li Zhen, it's not surprising to hit the target. In my forbidden army, there are also many capable people, who can penetrate the Yang in a hundred steps, and can also shoot arrows without missing a shot. ”
Li Zhen said: "Your Majesty, it is not surprising to shoot an arrow target that does not move. ”
"Oh, what else are you going to do?" Xianfeng asked with a smile.
Li Zhen stretched out his hand and pointed to the vase on the ground, and said proudly: "Now let a person pick up the vase on the ground, and then throw the vase in the air one after another, and the slave uses the foreign gun in his hand to aim at the vase flying in the air and shoot them one by one." Ten vases, all of them must be hits. ”
"Good!"
Xianfeng's eyes suddenly lit up, and he ordered: "Han Laiyu, you come and throw the vase." ”
"Wow!"
Han Laiyu put the dust in his hand on the belt around his waist, strode to the place where the vase was placed, bent down and picked up a vase in each hand, and said with a smile: "General Li, you have to be ready." ”
"Father-in-law, please!"
Li Zhen nodded, gathered his thoughts, and held the sniper rifle in his hand.
Xianfeng and Qishan stood next to them, watching quietly. Especially Qi Shan, who was already excited in his eyes, but very nervous, both afraid that Li Zhen would make a mistake, but also looking forward to Li Zhen showing his might.
ps: The second update, get up early to ask for flowers to rush the list.
