Liu Xiu re-experienced those martial arts according to the law of Wu Jun's guidance, this time he no longer pursued fast, but slowed down his movements, carefully experienced the subtle feeling of the flow of power between each posture change, and soon realized a new realm, like a beggar found a treasure trove, and the naughty boy found the most interesting toy, ecstatic and couldn't put it down.

When he returned to the dormitory, Mao Zong and the three of them had already finished eating, and they were having a ride. As soon as he saw him enter the door, Liu Bei hurriedly got up, served the food plate from the side, and said with a smile: "Big brother, you have practiced too hard." Eat quickly, there is meat to eat today. ”

"So good?" Liu Xiu looked at it and rubbed his hands happily, squeezing his eyes at Mao Zong. After practicing boxing for a while, he is now grumbling with hunger, and he is so happy to have meat to eat. In the previous life, people had to lose weight every day, and seeing a little meat was like seeing poison, although it was not so serious, he also tried to control the intake of meat, until he came to this era, he knew that it was really a happy thing to have meat to eat. With the well-off level of his "family", he only eats meat once in three months, and he still has a lot of fat, and the economic situation of Liu Bei's family can basically only rely on collective activities such as village sacrifices and clubs.

The Mao family can provide meat for these students, and they are really willing to spend money, you must know that the general fine house is made of rice, and the teacher's family does not care about the food at all.

"Of course, tomorrow I will participate in the drill of the guards, how can I have strength if I don't eat well." Mao Zong said with a grin: "On behalf of the Mao family, I invite all the students to participate in the competition, and after the competition, we can participate in the feast together. ”

Liu Xiu smiled, took the cloth towel handed over by Liu Bei and wiped his sweat, picked up the chopsticks and ate, and said while eating: "Okay, I'll also go with me to mix a delicious meal, the competition, I won't participate, I won't do anything, I don't have to go up and be embarrassed, just help the three of you." ”

"That's true, in fact, you don't have to know better than me, Brother Bo Jue will definitely be the first tomorrow." Liu Bei said with a smile: "Except for warriors like Wu Junhou who have experienced the battlefield, I'm afraid no one is Brother Bo Jue's opponent." ”

Gongsun Zhan smiled slightly: "Xuande, you can't say that, the Mao family is a big family in Zhuo County, and Ximao is the most powerful among the four Maos, and the master is like a cloud, how can I win the championship as a person who has never even been on the battlefield, just talk about it here, anyway, Chengming is not an outsider, and he won't laugh at me, but don't let others hear it, let me make a fool of myself when the time comes." ”

Mao Zong laughed: "It's okay, I think so too, in fact, Wu Junhou also said so." ”

Gongsun Zhan's eyes lit up and he smiled silently. Although he has never seen the Mao family's guards, he is still confident in his martial arts. What's more, this competition is definitely not a hand-to-hand fight, knife skills, etc., but also a kung fu of riding and archery, and at this point, he is even confident that he will compete with Wu Junhou again.

He believed in his riding skills and in the famous horse of the divine steed.

The four of them talked and laughed, full of expectations for tomorrow's competition. Although Liu Xiu knew that his martial arts skills were not enough to compete, he was now very interested in martial arts, and he also hoped to see more actual combat to increase his experience.

After eating, Gongsun Chan and the others went out to practice again, and naturally they responded. Mao Zong dragged it out to the end, and after Gongsun Zan and Liu Bei went out, he took out a piece of paper, lowered his voice and said, "Deran, can you do another favor?" ”

"What are you going to copy? I seem to have told you that it would not be an example, right? Liu Xiu deliberately sank his face.

"Hehe, I'm not asking you to copy it, I'm just asking you to help me solve this problem." Mao Zong said with a smile.

Liu Xiu hesitated, the solution was too fast last time, which was seriously inconsistent with his current image of a "stupid", and he regretted it, and he didn't dare to be so casual this time. He took the paper and looked at the problem carefully, which was an arithmetic problem about transportation:

One person and one cart can transport five stone of grain, and it is said that the journey is forty miles, and the person is said to eat six liters, and how many people are used to transport grain from 400 stones to thousands of miles? If it is a thousand people transporting grain, how far can it go?

Liu Xiu didn't take this kind of question seriously, but after thinking about it a little, he also felt that it was very amazing, and he suddenly understood why fighting a war was a big deal in ancient times. A man who walks forty miles a day eats six liters of grain, but can only transport five stones of grain, and if he travels thousands of miles away, he has to walk for twenty-five days, and fifty days for a round trip, and he himself has to eat three stones, that is, only two stones can really be transported to the destination. What if it's 2,000 miles? I'm afraid it's not enough for him to eat.

Liu Xiu was shocked by such a fact, and while thinking about it, he shook his head after a long time, and said embarrassedly to Mao Zong, who was full of expectations: "No! ”

"Won't?" Mao Zong was stunned for a moment, a little disappointed, and then smiled with relief, and said nonchalantly: "It's okay, no, no, no, anyway, this kind of money and food matter will be counted by someone in the future, we just need to fight." ”

Liu Xiu smiled slightly, and said in his heart, if you don't even count this well, you will still have a fart fight. However, he didn't say anything, just nodded in agreement, and then took Mao Zong to see Gongsun Zhan and them practice riding and archery. Although he didn't want to compete, he also wanted to get used to riding a horse as soon as possible, and in any case, horses were still the fastest means of transportation in this era.

Peach Valley applauded, Gongsun Chan held the reins in one hand, while holding the bow, smiling at the applause of the classmates, he had just fired ten arrows in a row, eight arrows hit the target, the best result ever, once again detonated the admiration of other students. Liu Xiu squeezed in the crowd, looking at the high-spirited Gongsun Zhan, and at Liu Bei, who stepped forward to lead the horse, he smiled secretly in his heart, but his face did not show the slightest, and he applauded loudly with everyone.

Gongsun Zhan saw that Liu Xiu was also applauding, and he was in a very happy mood. Although he didn't want to be a doctor of Mingjing, he still had some indescribable envy for Liu Xiu to have the opportunity to get close to his teacher Lu Zhi because of his good calligraphy, and he faintly wanted to compare himself with Liu Xiu.

"Deran, come quickly." Gongsun Zhan beckoned to Liu Xiu, turned over and dismounted, separated the crowd, strode in front of Liu Xiu, and pulled Liu Xiu into the field without saying anything, and instigated: "Deran, try shooting two arrows." ”

Liu Xiu smiled awkwardly: "Bo Jue, don't make fun of me, it's good that I can not fall off the horse, how can I ride and shoot, besides, you haven't taught me archery yet." ”

"What's so difficult about this, I'll teach you now, it's not difficult to shoot arrows." Gongsun Chan laughed and said, turned to the onlookers and said, "Do you say, as men from northern Xinjiang, how can we not ride and shoot?" The sage also said that archery is one of the six arts. ”

Liu Xiu shook his head again and again: "Don't, you spare me, I'm not afraid of falling down, I'm just afraid that the arrow won't hit the head, and if I don't hit the target, if I miss any of you, it will be a big trouble." ”

The crowd burst into laughter, some stamped their feet, some clapped their hands, some whistled, and there was a lot of noise. Liu Bei choked with laughter, although Gongsun Zhan was not as presumptuous as them, he also felt that Liu Xiu's words were colatable, and he did not force him to get on the horse again, but stuffed the bow into his hand and said loudly: "Okay, don't get on the horse today, try foot shooting first." You're afraid that you'll hit your classmates by mistake, so it's no problem for me to let them all hide behind you, is it possible that you can still shoot arrows behind you? ”

Listening to Gongsun Zhan's words, everyone broke out into a burst of laughter again, and the loud laughter shook the peach blossoms to fall. Those guys who were afraid that the world would not be chaotic immediately took action and hid behind Liu Xiu together, and even widened their eyes and stuffed their hands into their mouths in fear.
