Chapter 66: The Venue
In the afternoon, Yan Zhi and Mo Zhi sent Tong Yan a set of bows and arrows.
Although Tong Yan doesn't know martial arts, she can't put down this bow in her hand, it's such a beautiful bow.
It is written in the book that "six materials" are needed to make a bow, namely "dry, horn, tendon, glue, silk, and lacquer", and I don't know how to do it.
She touched the brown-red bow arm in admiration, and picked up the arrow to observe it carefully.
The sharp iron arrowhead shone with a cold light, and the feathers on the tail of the arrow were very rare, hard and supple, with a bright brownish yellow sheen.
Yan Zhi saw that Tong Yan liked this bow and arrow so much, and said with a smile: "This bow, the prince has been looking for a long time to find it, and I heard the master of this bow making say that this bow took three years to make, and it is a rare good bow." ”
"What kind of bird is this arrow feather, why haven't I seen it?" Tong Yan raised the arrow in her hand and said curiously.
"Lord Hui, it's a golden eagle, the kind of eagle that flies in the desert, grassland, and barren valley." The hand of the inkstone danced and gestured.
Tong Yan burst out laughing, "You're really a living treasure." ”
The roots of the ear of the inkstone were red, and he scratched his head embarrassedly, and smiled hehehe.
Tong Yan held the bow, gestured decently, and pulled the bowstring with her hand.
"By the way, county lord, and this wrench." Yanzhi hurriedly took out a delicate wooden box from his sleeve and presented it.
Tong Yan opened the box, and inside was a finger sleeve that was not brown or yellow, and a jade wrench finger of mutton fat jade. She took that inconspicuous finger sleeve and put it on her thumb, which fits well and is quite hard.
"It's made of antlers." Yan Zhidao, "The general march and war are made of this antler, the prince is afraid that you don't like it anymore, and prepared a jade for you, you can use which one you like, if you are not satisfied, the villain will go to find you a different kind." ”
Tong Yan held up her deer bone wrench and looked at it, as if those of them also carried such a thing in their hands when they rode and shoot.
She raised her bow and squinted one eye, measured it again, and the corners of her mouth rose: "You go and tell Daddy, I like it very much." ”
Yan Zhi looked at the bright side face of the county lord, and couldn't help but look stupid, and nodded in a panic when he came back to his senses and said, "Yes, the villain will retire." ”
Tong Yan didn't know anything, so she responded casually.
Yan Zhi went out of the door, wiped the sweat from his head, and shook his head.
Mo Zhi, who was silent, glanced at him and said lightly: "You're okay." ”
"It's okay, it's just a little hot." Yan Zhiqiang smiled, "Let's go." ”
Mo Zhi lowered his eyes and said, "It's better to look at the county lord twice, and if you don't look at it, you won't move." ”
Yan Zhi was a little embarrassed, but what Mo Zhi said was not wrong, he was like a fish in his throat, and it took a while to squeeze out a "um" word from his throat.
Qingzhi could see it clearly, and after the two of them left, he stopped talking.
"What's wrong?" Tong Yan was happily fumbling for the bow in her hand, planning to make a good-looking box for this bow, and usually put it in the box for good preservation.
Qingzhi hesitated, glanced outside, shook his head, and said with a smile: "It's nothing, the maid wants to say that this bow is really beautiful, it looks oily, a bit like the coral ornament that the Queen Mother appreciated." ”
Tong Yan glanced at Qingzhi appreciatively, nodded and smiled: "What you said is really a bit similar." ”
She raised her bow again, made a very non-standard shooting posture, compared it, and said excitedly: "I picked up this bow, I feel that I can also pass through the Yang in a hundred steps, gallop on the battlefield, maybe I can be a female general!" ”
Of course, this is just a joke, she doesn't know martial arts, and her body is delicate, how can she get on the battlefield with swords and eyes.
The maidservants naturally didn't refute, and Ji Yue and Qingzhi were chattering around Tong Yan and laughing non-stop.
Early the next morning, Tong Yan got up early.
After breakfast, she put on a vermilion suit, held the bow herself, and only took Qingzhi and Ji Yue, who were also wearing suits, to the main hall.
The sky is clear, so uncomfortable.
Tong Yan strode into the hall with a smile on her face, only to see Daddy sitting on the top, and a middle-aged man with a long beard in plain clothes sitting below, who looked older than Daddy, but he was in good spirits, his eyes were tight, and he was more energetic than Daddy.
I think this is Mr. Gong.
Tong Yan smiled and saluted King Yong.
King Yong smiled and asked her to get up, but before she could open her mouth to introduce, Tong Yan smiled at the middle-aged man who met for the first time, and saluted generously: "Tong Yan has seen Mr. Gong." ”
King Yong and Gong Muzhi glanced at each other and laughed out loud in unison.
Gong Muzhi leaned back in the chair and accepted her full salute calmly, stroked his beard with a smile and nodded: "The county lord is really a good heart, and he is beautiful and wise." ”
This is just a polite remark, Tong Yan pursed her lips and smiled, but did not take it to heart.
King Yong listened very helpfully, smiled from ear to ear, and said with a full heart: "How about it, do you accept my good daughter as an apprentice?" ”
Gong Muzhi was not in a hurry to agree, he shook his head with a smile and said: "Just say that if you don't practice fake tricks, you have to try to know if you are a good seedling or not." Although he likes the smart and beautiful female doll in front of him, archery is not a child's play, and he has to see it for himself to see whether it is worth teaching him with his heart.
King Yong was not annoyed, nodded understandingly, and said confidently: "Okay, then you go and see if it's a good seedling, and I won't interfere." ”
With that, he got up from his chair and limped out with his hands behind his back, "There is a good place to practice archery in the back garden, so you can practice there in the future." ”
Between the words, it seems that it has been determined that Mr. Gong will accept Tong Yan's apprentice.
Gong Muzhi smiled silently, and followed King Yong to walk out.
Tong Yan didn't need to say much, and respectfully followed behind Daddy and the future master.
The place where King Yong said was almost to the northernmost part of the entire palace, it was a dense bamboo forest, and there was only a quiet path that led to the depths of the forest.
Tong Yan looked around and muttered in her heart, how can she practice archery with all bamboo, she can't even stretch her arms, it is estimated that there are insects or something in this bamboo forest, and they must not be bitten to death.
But what she didn't expect was that there was a hole in the forest, and the path was getting narrower and narrower, and the last few bamboos had completely blocked the way.
King Yong walked in front and stretched out his hand, only to see a strong wind push out of his palm, bending the bamboo that blocked the way, as if bending backwards to make a way for them.
In front of me was a bare disc-shaped flat land, which was perfect as a school field for practice.
Mr. Gong was calm and followed King Yong into the empty field.
Tong Yan was surprised, she was not surprised by this venue, but by Daddy's kung fu, this is the first time in her life that she has seen such kung fu, so amazing.
Qingzhi and Ji Yue were even more shocked, it was the first time they had seen this kind of legendary inner kung fu when they lived so big.
