In the dead of night, Liang Xiao finished practicing arrows and sweated slightly. Sigma took the cloth towel, wiped away his sweat, and handed him a single coat.

Liang Xiao put on his clothes and touched Sigma's head. "You're tired too, go sleep."

"Where's the master?" Sigma grinned, "Do you want to call a sister to accompany you?" ”

Liang Xiao glared at her. "If you talk more, you'll be with you."

Sigma shrunk her neck, stuck out her tongue, and slipped out. Tu Niu'er walked in and looked at Liang Xiao. "Ah Xiao, why don't you sleep yet?"

"Niu, you've come just in time. There's one thing I've been thinking about and thinking something isn't quite right. ”

"What's the matter?" Tuniu became nervous.

"Do you remember those two mercenaries we met outside Yuli City?"

Tuniu'er nodded. "Of course I do. What, you remembered it too? ”

"I don't remember who he is, I just think that mercenary's voice is a little familiar, I should have seen it somewhere." Liang Xiao raised his hand and tapped his temples. I don't know why, he's been thinking about those two people for the past two days, but he can't remember where they've met. He had a feeling that these two people were probably not as simple as ordinary mercenaries, and he might have missed something.

Tuniuer was silent. Liang Xiao's hearing is good, and he remembers the man's voice, but he can't do it. However, he was almost inseparable from Liang Xiao, and he should have been present when Liang Xiao met those two mercenaries. It's just that he can't remember when he saw these two mercenaries.

For a while, they were with the mercenaries every day, how could they remember so much.

"The man had a Han-style hard bow in his hand. I think archery is not ordinary. Such a master. As long as you've met. Almost all of them were swept over by us. The rest are either unseen or really like to go it alone. However, I asked Huang Fuqi that he had hired many mercenaries in the Western Regions for many years, and he had never heard of any mercenary archers who made Han-style hard bows. This man...... It's a bit mysterious. ”

"No matter how mysterious it is?" Seeing Liang Xiao distressed, Tu Niu'er comforted him in turn. "In my opinion, although he is strong, he is not your opponent yet."

"Not true. This person appeared too weirdly. I have to guard against it. Liang Xiao frowned and muttered for a long time. I think of a person. ”

"Who?"

"Wudan." Liang Xiao kneaded his fingers, and bursts of numbness flowed through his fingers.

"Wudan? It's impossible, it's strange that the snow is so heavy that it doesn't freeze to death. Tu Niu'er scratched her head, not quite believing Liang Xiao's words. Even if it was him, how could he have practiced archery in such a short period of time? Since you have practiced such a strong archery technique, why don't you go back to the Evil King Department to compete for the throne? The Huns followed the strong, and with his identity and archery skills, it could not have been easier to regain the throne. ”

Liang Xiao raised the corners of his mouth. A wicked smile was revealed. "What if he doesn't have eggs?"

"This ......," Tu Niu said. He thought for a moment, and then retorted, "Then how did he practice his archery skills?" ”

"Wudan's archery skills are not bad in the first place." Liang Xiao chuckled. "Actually. It is not a great difficulty to practice archery, the key is whether you can control your own **, whether you can practice day after day without distractions. You see, if you also learn to shoot from me, Paris can't practice it, so Sigma does. ”

Tu Niu'er blinked her eyes and said, "You mean that Paris is uncertain, so he can't practice." Sigma has a fixed heart, so it can be practiced. Wudan escaped death and ran out of eggs, so he can also practice? ”

"It's just possible. Besides, he didn't practice archery, but strength. In his special situation, as long as he is willing to work hard, it is entirely possible to multiply his strength in a short period of time. ”

"Strength multiplication?" Tu Niu'er looked skeptical. "Is there such a good way? Then you say I'll listen to it. ”

"It's useless for you to listen. This method is to practice clumsy strength, not strength. Liang Xiao smiled. Otherwise, can Uncle Zhongli not tell you? No matter how great the strength is, it is not as good as strength, you can play Pang Shuo around, isn't it because he uses force, and you use strength? ”

Tuniuer smiled. "In that case, there's nothing to be afraid of."

"There's nothing to be afraid of now. I'm just worried that if he understands the truth and plays crossbow instead of bow, it will be a bit of a problem. ”

The smile on Tu Niu'er's face was a little stiff. The bow wins in the fast rate of fire, light and easy to use. The crossbow wins in the long range, precision and easy to learn. Don't look at Liang Xiao's ability to use a two-and-a-half-stone hard bow now, but in terms of range, this is just the entry-level of a crossbow. The problem with the crossbow is that it has a slow rate of fire, and second, it is relatively heavy and inconvenient to carry. If Wudan switches to a crossbow to give full play to his strength advantage and make up for his lack of archery, it will be a big trouble.

Although the rate of fire of the crossbow is slow, it is an excellent weapon for long-range sniping, and two or three hundred steps is a breeze.

"What then?"

"No way, be vigilant, don't give him a chance to sneak attack." Liang Xiao laughed, but his smile was a little bitter. Thinking of that Han-style bow, he felt that Wudan's strengthening had a great relationship with the Han people. "The people who wanted to teach him this method didn't tell him the real trick."

――

Akatani.

Wu Dan was naked, and the muscles on his shoulders and back were raised one by one, revealing a clear outline.

The Han-style hard bow was fully drawn by him, and there was an arrow on the bow, and the arrow pointed straight into the distance. He remained motionless, slowly adjusting his breathing, inhaling his breath to the fullest each time, and then holding it until his arm trembled slightly, unable to hold on, and then slowly let go, while exhaling the breath in his mouth.

After a while, he drew the bow to the brim again, holding his breath and remaining still.

This is the secret method that the great wizard asked for from the Great Slaughter Elder Zhongxing, and it is said that after practicing for a long time, you can return the yang. However, Wudan didn't have much hope for returning yang, after all, the Bank of China said that he couldn't return yang, let alone him. But he hopes to improve his strength by practicing secret methods. As the great wizard said, he already has an heir, and it doesn't matter if he can return to yang or not, the important thing is that he has strength.

After more than two months of hard training, his strength has more than doubled, and he can now easily pull a two-stone bow, but his archery skills have not improved accordingly. He can shoot an arrow for more than a hundred steps, but beyond sixty or seventy paces, his accuracy drops dramatically.

If it weren't for that, how could he give up the chance to go head-to-head with Aleusu.

He regretted it very much. If the Grand Wizard is around, he may be able to tell him the solution. Now that the Great Wizard has no news, even if he wants to admit his mistake, he can't find her, so he can only bury his head in hard practice.

There was a sound of footsteps outside the door. Udan turned his head and saw his sister Arekan walking in quickly, with an embarrassed Iul standing behind her. He hesitated for a moment, then let go of his bow, and his muscles returned to their original shape.

"What's the matter with looking for me so late?"

"Kunmi's messenger has returned, and asked about the battle in the valley." Arekan spun around, furious. "Why didn't you shoot Alyusu? If you kill Aliusu, the people of the Yue clan will collapse, Kunmi's heart will be eliminated, and the loss in the valley will be worth it. ”

Before Udan could answer, Arekan said again, "Did you lie to me?" You are no match for Aleusu at all. ”

An inexplicable anger arose in Wudan's heart, and he shouted: "Sister, even you don't believe me? ”

Arekan didn't flinch. "Then why didn't you shoot him? Do you know how much we will lose if we drag it out for a day? ”

Wu Danyu stopped, and then said: "How much price are you willing to pay in order to kill Aleusu?" ”

Arekan was stunned. She looked at Wudan hesitantly, and stopped talking a few times. Aleusu is the remnant of the Yue people east of the Green Ridge, and he is the most warlike warrior among the Yue people. If Aliusu is killed, the people of the Yue clan will be terrified and will completely withdraw from the Green Mountains, and Wusun will be the most powerful king of this land. In order to kill Aleusu, Hunt Jiaomi put a lot of effort into it, including bowing to the Huns.

As a proud hunter, Arekan knows the pride of hunting. Although the Xiongnu is kind to him, he is not a subservient person after all, but his current strength is not good, so he can only compromise and seek perfection. One day, he will be on an equal footing with the Huns and be a hero who stands up to the sky.

His biggest obstacle was Aleusu. The existence of Aliusu prevents him from dominating the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains, without Alyusu, those Yue clans and Sai Seeds in the Nanshan Mountains can only bow down to him, and Wusun's strength will be greatly developed.

Arekan hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "Any price." ”

"In that case, let the hunter come back." Wudan snorted softly. "Even if you take Dawan, it won't be his share, it's better to come back and clean up Aliusu. We have too few troops, and it is not easy to trap him with the help of terrain, and it is impossible to kill him as soon as possible. Without more than twice as many troops, I'm not sure. ”

"Then why didn't you accede to Aliusu's challenge?"

Wudan gave Arekan a cold look. "I'm on par with Aleusu, but my bow isn't as strong as his, and more importantly, he has dozens of warriors around him who are willing to die for him at any time. What about me? The guards around me despise me and wish I had died sooner. You say, I play against Aleusu, how much hope is there to win? ”

Arekan sank his face. "What are the things that are not long-sighted, that dare to be so rude? You tell me I'm going to kill them. ”

"I don't need you to kill it, I'll kill it myself." Wudan waved his hand, signaling Arekan to be at ease. "One more thing. I told you, Liang Xiao went to the driver, did you hear any news? If he is allowed to appear behind the hunt, it will be very dangerous to hunt the arrogance. ”

"Nope." Arekan shook his head. After hearing Wudan mention Liang Xiao, she sent someone to the driver to inquire. As a result, the king of Cheshi said that the Han envoy did come, but he did not dare to attack the city, and then went east. Looking like that, I probably want to take a detour around the Pu Kai area.

"Pu Hai? The grassland is already full of Hun troops, with his hundreds of people, can he still find an opportunity to sneak attack? Wudan pondered for a moment, puzzled. Suddenly, he shouted: "No, he is probably going to attack the backward baggage men." ”――
