"Good!" If this is the success of the soldiers, I am afraid that not only will it not receive half the applause, but it will attract a lot of contempt, but this is the achievement of a child who is only eight years old, so not to mention hitting the bull's-eye, even if it touches the edge of the target, it is worth blowing a few words. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Hey, hey." Tan Xiaotian scratched his head and grinned embarrassedly, such an achievement was completely beyond his imagination.

"Haha, good boy, I can't see it, I'm still an archer." Zhao Mengtu slapped his face and praised with a smile, his eyes narrowed, obviously very satisfied with Tan Xiaotian's performance, he was a typical soldier, with a straightforward personality, and what he thought in his heart was what he said.

"Hehe, it's not that powerful, Meng." Tan Xiaotian replied very honestly - when the arrow was off the string, he was not sure at all, and when he was aiming, due to the lack of arm strength, the left hand holding the bow had been trembling slightly, and in such a situation, he could actually hit the bull's-eye, except for showing good luck, he never thought that his archery skills were reliable.

"Haha, I don't have any skills, and I can't be blinded if I want to. How about it, are you interested in being a soldier? Follow me, and I'll make sure you'll be a centurion before you're sixteen. Zhao Mengtu asked with a smile, his tone was half-true and half-false, with a bit of temptation, it is estimated that if Tan Xiaotian really agreed, he would immediately turn fiction into reality and pull Tan Xiaotian into the army - for a hereditary military family like him, age in the army has never been a problem, I think he has been wandering around the barracks with his grandfather since he was five years old, who dares to sue if he is not convinced?

"General Zhao, General Zhao, let's not dig into the corners like this, Tian Tian is a disciple that my Zheng family will focus on cultivating in the future, you let him be a soldier, where can I find someone who can be replaced!" Zheng Jili was anxious when he heard this, and without waiting for Tan Xiaotian to answer, he preemptively said-Okay, I came today to gild Tan Xiaotian and ask Zhao Mengtu to teach him chess.

"Hehe, Mr. Zheng, I just kidding you if you are in a hurry, Tian Tian is now the Go instructor of Princess Crescent, even if I have the heart, I don't have the courage to get him into the army." Seeing Zheng Jili's anxious look, Zhao Mengtu said with a smile - Tan Xiaotian is a candidate appointed by the emperor, and if he wants to get him into the army, he is afraid that his grandfather will have to come forward to do it, but there is still a game of chess to fight between the old and the young, and he is willing to help or not.

"That's good, that's good. Every day, after playing, return the bow to others, don't delay people's normal training. Zheng Jili breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly asked Tan Xiaotian to put the bow down, he didn't want the child to play with the bow and arrows again, in case he hit the bull's-eye again, so that Zhao Mengtu had to lead him to the road, it would be a bit troublesome.

So the three of them left the playground and came to the barracks where Zhao Mengtu lived, the room was not big, of course it was not very small, the layout inside was very simple, a single bed, a wardrobe, a square table, a few benches, swords and maps hung on the wall, and in addition, there were almost no accessories.

"The conditions in the army are poor, and Mr. Zheng still asks for more patience." Instructed the soldiers to prepare tea, Zhao Mengtu asked the two to sit down and explained with a smile - the living conditions in the army are naturally not comparable with the families of the princes and ministers in the city, but with the level of middle and senior officers, Zhao Mengtu's residence can be better arranged, but Zhao Mengtu has always believed that a simple life is conducive to the tempering of the will of soldiers.

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say, the conditions are simple, it's more conducive to learning without distractions, at least don't worry about too many things to distract you." The army is not particular about diet, many things are pursued is a simple, cheap, fast, tea is the kind of coarse tea that is weighed by catty, the cup is a few pieces of coarse porcelain, the water is boiled and brewed directly, rather than the literati bachelors who are particular about the charcoal fire and slowly taste, for Zheng Jili, who has always paid attention to the taste of life, it is very difficult to accept, but the so-called local customs, now there is a request for people, and it will be a little bit.

Zhao Mengtu is not the kind of person who likes to chat about idle days, so he took a sip of tea, moistened his throat, and brought the conversation to the topic.

"Mr. Zheng, I have heard about the chess fight with my grandfather every day, to be fair, although my grandfather's chess is not very clever, but he has played chess for decades, and he still has some skills, and his chess is a wild way, not talking about routines, fighting is the on-the-spot calculation and momentum, it is really difficult for ordinary people to stand up to the three axes, even when I accompany the old man to play chess, a careless may be cut under the horse. As for me, I did have some effort in chess, but the main focus is still on the military, so the level is so-so, barely a master among amateurs, but in front of the real chess master is far from enough, Mr. Zheng let me learn chess every day, I am afraid that it is not a person, if Mr. Zheng has no suitable candidates for a while, I can recommend a few chess masters, those few are far higher than me. ”

Zhao Mengtu said very realistically, he did not deliberately improve or belittle himself, he was very clear about his own chess level, he belonged to the kind of general who was pulled out in frustration, and it was enough to entertain himself with three or five friends, but if he wanted to teach others, he was afraid that he would have to take on the responsibility of being a misguided child.

"Hehe, General Zhao, I know what you said, my Zheng family is also a Go family, and I have been in the capital for so many years, and there are so many chess players who have a good relationship. Dealing with straight-tempered people, Zheng Jili did not intend to hide it completely, the other party is only straightforward and not missing a string in his head, rather than letting people figure it out in the future, it is better to take the initiative to admit some of the plans of the party, the so-called seven points of truth and three points of fiction, so that it is easy to gain the trust of the other party and is conducive to the long-term maintenance of the relationship.

"Oh, how do you say that?" Zhao Mengtu asked curiously-the connections in the chess world, the Zheng family must be wider than the Zhao family, even if it is the Zheng family's own family, the chess level is higher than their own, and they are all intellectual games of playing brains after all.
