Chapter 173: Breaking the Situation with Arrows
Along the way, Xue was in a hurry, her heart was uneasy, before, she was very frustrated because she couldn't draw the bow, now, she can only try to comfort herself, to recall the sassy and heroic posture of the students when they drew the bow and shoot arrows in the school field, and Sima Cheng's amazing arrow at that time, and kept telling herself that she could do it.
Sima Cheng saw that the snow was falling, his face was not very good, and when he heard the conversation between Xue and Jiang Gonggong, his face showed a trace of surprise, hesitated for a moment, and finally took the initiative to ask in order to confirm:
"Your Majesty, are you going to hold a big shooting salute?"
"Well, it was Situ who suggested it to me."
Xue replied angrily, and now, she is focused on the matter of the big salute, and she has also let down her guard against Sima Cheng.
First of all, she must not show herself in front of the ministers who can't pull the bow, if she wants to convince the public, if she wants to win the hearts of the people, not to mention that she wants to shoot to the top, but at least she can't lose in momentum.
But isn't that hard for the strong?!
Xue Yu was so angry that she stomped her feet, but stomping her feet couldn't solve the problem, and finally, she finally calmed down, thinking that the only way now was to make up for her poor shortcomings by being diligent.
However, Xue didn't know anything about archery, so she had to find a decent master first, thinking of this, Xue stopped, couldn't help but glance, and looked at Sima Cheng.
Sima Cheng in front of him is the decent master.
After yesterday's incident in the imperial study, Sima Cheng helped Xue copy the list, and the relationship between the two seemed to have eased, although they were still silent, but asked Xue to ask Sima Cheng to teach her archery, but she couldn't open her mouth.
Since then, the two have spent more time alone together, and Xue quickly shook her head, forcing herself to think of other ways.
Xue thought that on the day of the martial arts, in addition to Sima Cheng, there were also Jin Yuze and Fan Zheng.
Jin Yuze is a descendant of the Xiongnu clan, he usually plays with a scimitar, his skin is dark, tall as a tiger, strong as a cow, coupled with the alien face of the Hu people, Xue feels that he is a little white rabbit in front of him, and he may be eaten by him at any time.
Fan Zheng also has wheat-colored skin, eagle eyes like torches, sharp and sharp, strong body, just pick up anything, you can see the green tendons on your arms protruding, Xue can't help but sweat for herself when she thinks about it, afraid that Fan Zheng will be angry, so she will carry herself out of the school field.
So after thinking about it for a while, maybe the only one who can be patient and accompany her to practice archery seems to be Sima Cheng.
After hesitating, Xue and Sima Cheng had already arrived at the library behind the imperial study.
Since entering the palace, Xue has not been to the school field in the palace, failed to practice horseback riding in the prince's mansion, tried to draw a bow in the dormitory and was frustrated, plus he was busy with the affairs of Guozixue, Xue completely cut off the relationship with martial arts.
If you don't have the right person to teach you, you can study on your own. Xue was busy in the library for a while, and finally found a tattered booklet, which was about drawing a bow and archery.
It's obviously afternoon, but the sky is gloomy, like the mood of snow at the moment,
Xue and Sima Cheng came to the school field in the palace, and the little eunuch who was cleaning had not yet left, looking at the dust on the doorknob of the warehouse, the dust raised, and the overgrown weeds, it can be seen how desolate this place was.
Xue and Sima Cheng sat in the pavilion of the school field for a short rest, during which Xue had been carefully looking through the booklet, Sima Cheng glanced at it, only to see the book in Xue's hand, and couldn't help frowning.
When he went to the library just now, Xue didn't let Sima Cheng go in with him, and at this moment Sima Cheng understood why Xue went.
It's just that, according to Sima Cheng's own experience, his archery skills are all under the strict control of General Yang, and he has reached today's level little by little, and Xue came to the school field to practice archery, but what does the practice of archery have to do with these books, Sima Cheng is puzzled.
The little eunuchs who cleaned left the field, and only Xue and Sima Cheng were left in the school yard, Xue looked at the row of curved bows outside, and couldn't help but start nervous, she stared at those curved bows for a while, but never took a step.
"Cheng Gongzi, you are superb in archery, shoot two arrows first, let me see."
Xue hid the uneasiness in her heart with a smile, she looked back and forth several times at the album just now, and she remembered all the movements, but Xue was afraid that she wouldn't be able to do it in the first step, let alone the later part.
Sima Cheng responded and walked into the school field, Xue also followed behind Sima Cheng, Sima Cheng swept a row of curved bows, and picked a black lacquered wooden bow, the same color as his martial robe.
Xue was startled, every curved bow was an unconquerable bull ghost snake god in the snow tears, and the black lacquered wooden bow was the first of them, just like a big black snake, Xue couldn't help but take a step back.
Sima Cheng didn't notice the strangeness of the snow, and continued to get the bamboo arrow.
The arrows in the palace are different from the ones that Guozi learned last time, they are really bamboo arrows with metal arrows, Sima Cheng picked one up, weighed it, took it closer, and took a closer look at the arrowhead, which was already covered with a layer of rust.
Sima Cheng wanted to pull the bow, one second he was calm and calm, and the next second, his eyes immediately showed anger, Sima Cheng stretched his long arms, the old bow rope made a small sound because of the pulling, and the black snake seemed to immediately become obedient in Sima Cheng's hands.
The arrow left the string, and then landed steadily in the center of the arrow target, all this came too fast, Xue felt incredible, and her eyes couldn't help showing admiration and envy, and she looked at Sima Cheng with a smile.
Sima Cheng turned his head and looked at Xue's childlike innocent smile, just like he was originally in the barracks, although he was young, he could shoot at the level of the soldiers, and he had to wait and see the soldiers.
is accustomed to seeing Sima Cheng's handsome and indifferent face, and his gestures are full of the atmosphere of a high-ranking nobleman.
Li Xuan, the son of Li Zhi, Fan Zheng, the nephew of Du Yu, the secretary of the ministry, Zheng Lang, the son of Zheng Li, the son of Tian Cao Shangshu Zheng Li, Wang Su of the Zuomin Shangshu Wang Gu, and Cui Lin and Lu Yizhi, who have already entered the court as officials, and there are also two sons of the Jiangdong Shi clan Lu Tong and Lu Hibiscus, as well as the southern clans of the Jiangdong Hao clan Gu and the Lujiang clan Zhou.
They are Jin Yuze, the son of the Xiongnu military general in the Zudi army, and An Zhi, the son of An, the leader of the Lite caravan who regularly visits Dayu and surrounding countries.
On the one hand, he felt guilty for his inconsiderate thinking, and secondly, someone was injured, as the emperor, but now there is only Si Kui, the imperial doctor, in the palace, and for his safety, Xue does not plan to let him out of the palace.
In the choice of clothing, the focus is on practicality, choosing a round-necked robe that combines competitive sports, and tucking up the placket. It is conducive to vigorous sports such as horse riding and archery, which can fully liberate the limbs, expand the range of motion of the limbs, and cooperate with the flexibility of the limbs, which meets the needs of Keju sports.
