Chapter 296: Little Archer Su Zhebei
On the Pingrong grassland, it is the season of green grass and flowers, and the geese returning to the north are lined up in a herringbone goose array, flying from the sky in groups, and the loud chirping should be the cry of the herds of cattle and sheep on the grassland. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The trade passers on the steppe came and went, and the caravans traveling between the Shenlong Empire and Manggul were almost connected into a long dragon. Today's grasslands have become very lively because of this trade route. And with the limited opening of the empire's exclusive trading rights to the Far East, the number of caravans from Mangul to the Far East increased. Many of the merchants of Manggul wanted to go to the Far East to pan for gold, because in the Far East it was the empire that had the final say, and as allies of the empire, the status of the merchants of Manggul in the Far East was the same as that of the imperial merchants. In other words, as long as you ship goods to the Far East, you don't have to worry about making money. Therefore, many merchants of Manggul and Manggul subjects all flocked to Anxi City, and after going through the business permits and related formalities, they drove horse-drawn carriages to the Far East.
Zhang Deyi, the governor of Anxi, has been in a good mood recently, because his wife gave birth to a fat son for him, so Zhang Deyi took the opportunity of inspecting the jurisdiction to prepare to beat a leopard or a bear or something to make a fur for his son. Zhang Deyi's luck was good, he hit a spotted leopard and a black bear, and he happily walked back. There were many caravans encountered along the way, and the merchants who came and went often knew the governor, and they all came forward to say good news and give many gifts. Even the merchants from Manggul were not far behind, and they surrounded Zhang Deyi and asked questions.
Zhang Deyi may not care too much about praising other things, but the shrewd businessmen keep praising Zhang Deyi's son, which touches Zhang Deyi's pride, so Zhang Deyi is so beautiful that he grinned and couldn't stop patting the businessmen's shoulders to express his gratitude.
Suddenly, Zhang Deyi found that in Manggul's caravan, there was a caravan with a national flag that he had never seen before, and there were blonde and white-skinned people in this caravan, and there were also people who looked like Rongbu, and their banner was black with a golden sun embroidered on it. Zhang Deyi stepped forward and asked, "Which country's caravan are you?" ”
A burly man stepped forward and replied respectfully: "Back to the Grand Duke, we are a caravan of the Hanhai Kingdom, a vassal state of Manggul, and we have entered the empire for the first time, and we want to do business in the Central Plains and the Far East of the empire. The Metropolitan Governor, please see, this is a document issued by the Governor's Office of Anxi of the Empire, and this is a document issued by the Manggul State, please take a look at it. ”
"Hanhai Country? Seems to have heard the name. ”
A merchant from the Shule Kingdom said: "Dadu Governor, Hanhai Country is indeed one of the subject countries of Manggul, but this country is very small, only the size of thirty cities, and it is close to the Hanhai Desert, so it is normal for Dadu Governor not to know about Hanhai Kingdom. ”
"Oh, Ben Shuai remembered, you are the country composed of the Hanhai Department that annexed Anguo and other three small ten-city countries, and you are rich in Sun Stones, right?"
"Exactly. Dadu, this is a little bit of our heart, and please accept it with a smile. ”
A colorful sun stone was sent to Zhang Deyi, and the beautiful stone made the people around him marvel.
"Well, the Governor of Wen Bendu has checked it, and you need to abide by the imperial legal system when you come to the Shenlong Empire, and if you violate it, you will be severely punished. If there is any ambiguity, the "Imperial Business Notes" issued to you by the Governor's Office of Anxi is clearly written, so you should take a closer look. If you still don't understand, you can ask these businessmen. By the way, what's your name? ”
"Back to the Metropolitan Governor, my name is Hublei, and I am the lord of the Hanhai Kingdom."
"What? You're not right, although Hanhai Country is a subject country of Manggul, but after all, it is a country, you should enjoy the treatment of the lord of the country when you come to the empire as the lord of the country, didn't you show your identity when you cleared the customs? ”
"Governor Dadu, when I was in Anxi City, His Excellency the Governor Sun Buregret had already received me, and I took the initiative to ask not to put up a guard of honor. After all, Hanhai Kingdom is a small country, and it is also a vassal country of Manggul, how dare I be arrogant in front of the Empire, and I dare not and are not qualified to go to Fengtian alone to meet His Majesty the Emperor of the Empire. This time I came to the empire just to do business, Hanhai is a small country, and the land is not fertile, so I want to exchange more materials to go back, so that the people can live a better life. ”
"Well, you are a benevolent lord who knows how to count etiquette, and you are much better than Rong Lu. Well, Lord of Khubrei, this marshal welcomes you on behalf of the empire and wishes you great fortune. ”
"Thank you, Governor."
Just as Zhang Deyi was talking to Hublei, a six or seven-year-old child dressed in brocade squeezed into the crowd with a wild goose in his hand and shouted at Hublei.
"Godfather, look, look, I shot a wild goose."
This child is very handsome, when he speaks, the big eyes blink and blink indescribably playful, the little mouth and Hubrai talk non-stop, the voice is crisp and beautiful, and the people around him immediately like this child.
Zhang Deyi will not be able to see a child, especially this kind of beautiful child, who is even more overflowing with love at first sight, he walked over with a smile and picked up the child.
"Hahaha, good boy and good archery, it's actually a headshot with an arrow. Tell Uncle, is this really what you shot? ”
"Surely, I never lied to anyone, I don't believe you look at my bow and arrows."
The kid jumped down from Zhang Deyi, took off his bow and arrows, and handed them to Zhang Deyi. Zhang Deyi took it and tried it, but it was actually a hard bow with one stone. During the Dayan period, one stone was equivalent to one hundred and twenty catties. After the founding of the Shenlong Empire, weights and measures were unified, and the decimal weight method was adopted, so it took a hundred catties of strength to pull out a bow with one stone. A six or seven-year-old child can pull a hard bow with one stone, and the arm strength is absolutely amazing. Zhang Deyi, who has been on the battlefield for a long time, doesn't need to ask at all, the bow of one stone can be pulled away, and it is very easy to shoot a wild goose.
"Boy, what's your name?"
"My name is Su Zhebe, I'm not a kid, I'm an archer."
"Hahaha, yes, your archery skills are very good. Come, shoot another arrow for Uncle to see. ”
"Then I'm still shooting geese, rabbits or something, it's not interesting."
After finishing speaking, Su Zhe didn't bend his bow and arrows, and quickly caught up with the hard bow that was more than half his height and was easily pulled away by him. At this time, a lone goose in the sky was flying over, chirping as it went, as if looking for a companion.
Well, the arrow shot away like a meteor, and the wild goose in the sky screamed in the air, and then fell from the sky like a stone.
"Good! Little archer Su Zhebei! Attaboy! ”
There was applause and applause, and Hubrei proudly hugged Su Zhebei and kissed his head again and again.
"Hahaha, good, good! I have such archery skills at a young age, and I will have wows when I grow up in the future. Su Zhebe, would you like to come to the uncle's army? Join the Imperial Army, you Marksman, and you'll have to make a name for yourself. ”
"Governor, this is my nephew, he is still young, and my brother and sister-in-law are reluctant to give him up."
"Hahaha, it's all the same, what parent doesn't feel sorry for their children? Okay, you have to train Su Zhebei well, and when he grows up, come to Anxi to find me, and I will definitely arrange a good position for him." ”
"Thank you, thank you."
Hubuli expressed his gratitude to Zhang Deyi with a thousand thanks, and the people around him looked at his uncle and nephew with envy. You must know that being able to enter the army of the Shenlong Empire, even if it is the lowest commander, is something to boast about in the eyes of the people of Manggul Country, not to mention that Su Zhebei has already entered the eyes of the Grand Governor of Anxi, so the future must be bright.
Zhang Deyi touched Su Zhebie's head lovingly and said, "Su Zhebie, practice hard, come to Uncle when you grow up, remember?" Now, this bow is a three-stone heavy bow used by Uncle, with Uncle's name on it, you can't use it now, and you can use it when you grow up. When the time comes, will you take this bow to your uncle? ”
"Hmm."
Su Zhebei vigorously held the heavy bow that was faster than him in his arms, his excited little face was bright red and nodded vigorously, Zhang Deyi touched Su Zhebei's head with satisfaction and then turned over and walked away.
"Wow, godfather, the Grand Governor of the Shenlong Empire is really majestic, and I want to be like him."
"My little Su Zhebei is ambitious, practice hard, and you will definitely surpass the Metropolitan Governor in the future."
The caravan crossed the West Sea, and the Hanhai Kingdom caravan and several Manggul caravans turned to the east and headed straight for the Far East. Hubrei had a purpose in going to the Far East, and he was assigned by Sumedo to meet with Greil in the Far East. Due to the distance between them, Sumedo did not know that Bai Rilun had been placed under house arrest in Mukden. And Su Zhebei sneaked into the team before Hubrei set off. After Hubrei found out about him, he didn't blame Su Zhebe, and he didn't send him back. The concept of Rongbu is like this, children have to experience wind and rain from an early age and see more of the world. Besides, Su Zhebei is not an ordinary child, this child is smart and clever and has great strength, and under the careful teaching of Jebeli, he is already a famous archer in Hanhai, and the veterans of the idle golden wolf ride are not his opponents in archery. Therefore, in Hanhai, all the people call Su Zhebei the little archer and the first condor archer in the future, and Su Zhebei has become the pride of the sky who is loved by thousands of people. Hubrei and Sangera's daughter, Narimei, is a diehard loyalist of Su Zhebe, and she follows Su Zhebel every day.
Hubrei's caravan passed through Dingyuan City and Ningyuan City to enter the Heavenly Wolf Protectorate, where they exchanged for customs clearance documents, and then passed through Urakan and entered the Heavenly Wolf Khanate. Today, the south of the Meilin Chu River of the Heavenly Wolf Khanate, including the Wolf King City, belongs to the sphere of influence of the Divine Dragon Empire, and the management institutions at all levels of the Heavenly Wolf Khanate have no role except for being able to manage their own people. The northern shore is slightly better off than the southern shore due to the location of the capital of the Celestial Wolf Khanate.
Hubray's caravan traveled and stayed, doing business as they went, and went straight to the Merin Chu River. Ten pontoon bridges have been built there as a communication artery between the north and the south, and the strange thing is that these ten pontoon bridges are all guarded by the troops of the Shenlong Empire in the Far East, and the Rong people have to pay bridge tolls to cross the bridge. Since the Hanhai Kingdom is a subject country of Manggul, it enjoys the treatment of being exempted from various fees, and Hubrei and his party came to the north shore smoothly and went to the Great Khan City along the main road.
When camping, Su Zhe couldn't stay any longer, and led a few people to go hunting in the woods. The little archer is worthy of his name, and in a short time, he shot a lot of pheasants, rabbits, wolves and other prey. When a sika deer appeared in front of him, Su Zhebei was very excited and urged the horse to chase after him.
The sika deer seemed to be a veteran, jumping between the trees, deftly dodging Su Zhebe's wolf tooth arrows. This is really detrimental to the prestige of the little archer, and Su Zhebei is more energetic than this sika deer.
Finally, Su Zhebei shot an arrow into the hind leg of the sika deer, and the sika deer limped away with a wail. Su Zhebei bent his bow and aimed at the head of the sika deer is an arrow, this arrow is fast and ruthless, and the sika deer will definitely not be able to dodge this time. Just when Su Zhebei was proud, with a bang, another wolf tooth arrow flew out of the woods, and the two wolf tooth arrows accurately hit the head of the sika deer, and the sika deer fell to the ground with a pop. Su Zhebei cheered and urged the horse to run over, but when Su Zhebei came to the sika deer, he saw a handsome little guy dressed in a strong suit also arrived at about the same time as Su Zhebe.
The little handsome guy has clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, he looks like a sword eyebrow and tiger eyes, and his eyebrows are full of masculinity and heroism, and he looks two or three years older than Su Zhebe. Su Zhe didn't look at the little handsome guy, and then looked at the sika deer, and the two of them shouted at the same time: "This is what I shot, you Laipi." (To be continued.) )
