The master smiled kindly and said, "In archery, the grass people are never sloppy, and I hope the princess will not think that the grass people are strict." ”

"I don't know what to call the master?"

"The grass people's name is Li Xu, and the princess can call the grass people Master Li."

"Master Li, please advise."

Master Li took a bow on the stone table and gave it to Nangong, "Princess, this is an ordinary bow." Master Li handed her the bow.

She took the bow and looked at it.

"Next, the grass people said a request, and asked the princess to follow suit." Master Li said solemnly.

Nangong tilted his head.

"Hold the bow in your left hand, your left shoulder facing the target, your feet shoulder-width apart, and the weight of your body must fall evenly on your feet, leaning forward slightly." Master Li explained the position to Nangong one by one.

What Master Li said, Nangong did it one by one.

Master Li turned around, looked at Nangong Tilt's position, and did everything he said.

Immediately afterwards, Master Li took out an arrow bag next to the stone bench and took out an arrow from the arrow bag, "This arrow is an Ai Ye head arrow." The arrowhead of the arrow is in the shape of mugwort leaves, and there is a forward oblique spike under the sharp blade, and the whole head of the scissor is flattened. ”

Master Li handed the Ai Ye head arrow to Nangong Tilt, and after she took the arrow, she looked at the arrow carefully, and sure enough, the arrow was flat.

"Whoever shoots in the middle of the leaf will be sent to the bone. When the arrow is drawn, it shall be flesh and bones, and though it will not die, it will be painful. ”

When Master Li explained the arrow, it aroused Nangong's curiosity, "Then Master Li, what arrow will die?" ”

"Iron Arrow. Its arrowhead is made of iron or copper, with a raised ridge and grooves on each side, in which poison can be stored. The arrow is equipped with a thin arrow shaft, and the assembly is not too tight, and it is limited to insertion. The shaft of the arrow is pulled out, and the arrow is embedded in the human body and cannot be extricated, if it cannot be pulled out within an hour, it will be poisoned and killed. If the arrow is not scraped to heal the wounds, the arrow will die. ”

After Nangong listened to this, he was terrified and had goosebumps.

"I'm afraid this arrow isn't the 'Hades' in the arrow, right?" Nangong said casually.

Unexpectedly, Master Li said, "Exactly." ”

Nangong was dumbfounded, "I'll just say it casually, really?" "I doubt it.

"I'll introduce other arrows in the future, and the next thing I'll learn is to build arrows."

Master Li then began to teach, and Nangong also returned to the state of learning.

"Place the arrow on the emcourse with the main feather of the monochrome facing you, and the tail groove of the arrow on the bowstring."

After Master Li finished saying the request for the arrow, he looked at Nangong Tingyu and saw that she was keeping up with the rhythm, and then spoke.

"The right hand is tied with the index finger, middle finger and ring finger, the index finger is placed above the tail of the arrow, and the middle finger and ring finger are placed below the tail of the arrow.

"When the archer raises the bow, his left arm sinks, his elbow is rotated inward, and he pushes the bow with his left hand and holds it in place. This is a pre-pull. ”

"Push the bow with the left shoulder and pull the right shoulder to pull the bow apart until the right hand is 'tiger's mouth' against the jaw. This is an open bow. ”

"The opening process connects the eye, the front sight, and the target point into a line. This is aiming. ”

After aiming, the right shoulder continued to be strengthened, and at the same time, the three fingers of the right hand that buckled the string quickly opened, and the arrow was immediately released. This is off-string. ”

Nangong did as Master Li said, shot the arrow, and went directly off the target.

"This is just the basic essentials of archery, as for whether the princess can shoot the bull's eye, it is slowly practiced. What the grass people should say today has been said. For the next three days, the princess had to practice until the arrows she shot no longer missed the target. ”

Nangong Tianshen heard that the arrow that was going to be shot in three days did not miss the target, it was simply impossible.

"How is this possible? It's only been three days. ”

Master Li smiled, "Whether you can stay on target within three days depends on you, princess." The grass people retired first, and three days later, at this hour today, the grass people came to check. ”

After saying that, Master Li left.

Nangong did as Master Li said, but all the arrows shot were off target.

During the entire explanation process of Master Li, Shu Yao was not around.

Two hours later.

Shu Yao went to the front yard to see how Nangong was practicing, and when she walked to the front yard, she saw her sitting on the ground.

"What are you doing sitting on the ground?" Shu Yao walked over and took the bow and arrow in her hand, leaned the bow and arrow against the stone table, and helped her to sit on the stone bench.

"I'm so tired! Even if you are tired, all the arrows you shoot are off target! Nangong couldn't believe it, there wasn't a single arrow on the target.

When Shu Yao heard this, she smiled happily, "Let me tell you, this is normal." What Master Li said is just the basics, even if you do it and do it, you may not be able to hit the target. ”

Nangong tilted his face with the palm of his hand, sighed, and said, "Alas, why are you so tired? Why should I learn archery? ”

Shu Yao couldn't help but laugh at her when she saw her so tired, "Then do you want to sleep after eating now, or learn archery?" ”

"The life of eating and sleeping every day is so boring, you have to find something to do. Although learning archery is very tiring, it is much better than sleeping after eating and eating after sleeping. ”

Although she complains that she is tired, she is used to being fulfilling. In modern times, it took five years to fight for the position of senior editor, and it was not easy. Someone else goes to play and she works, someone else sleeps and she works. Now that she has become a princess in Beiliang, she can't do anything, and she is bored to death.

After Nangong Tianyu said this, she aroused Shu Yao's curiosity, sat on the stone bench, and asked, "As soon as you say this, I am very curious about how you live in your world." ”

"You really want to know?"

Shu Yao nodded violently.

Nangong looked around and whispered to Shu Yao, "In my world, each of us has to work every day. Just like the people of Beiliang, in order to eat, drink, dress well, and make money. I'm in my world, and I'm a senior editor at a magazine. I have to do a lot of things every day, and I am tired every day. It's tiring, but it's fulfilling. ”

"What is a senior editor?" Shu Yao asked.

Nangong Qian thought about how to explain to Shu Yao, and thought for a moment, "The so-called senior editor is a position, just like I am the princess of the north, and the princess of the north only does what she should do." Do you understand that? ”

"Then I understand."

"I was in my world, working every day, and falling asleep immediately when I was tired every day. But in Beiliang, I don't feel tired at all. Because you always say that the princess can't do this, can't do that. I'm used to being full, and naturally I'm not used to being bored, so I have to find something to do to make myself tired and full. ”

Shu Yao nodded, "In this case, you practice first, and when it's time to eat, I'll call you to eat." ”

"Okay."

Nangong Tilting talked to Shu Yao about this, but she missed the tired and fulfilling life before. This kind of life is not fulfilling, but it is not used to it at all.

She shrugged her shoulders, "Forget it, instead of thinking here, let's practice archery." ”

After speaking, he picked up the quiver at the stone table and carried it on his back, held the bow in his left hand and the arrow in his right hand, stood in a good position, and began to practice.

The sun in the front yard was abundant and brilliant. The sun was a little fierce that day, not warm, but extremely hot.

After practicing for an hour, I was sweating profusely, and my clothes were soaked.

Shu Yao knew that learning archery was very hard and tiring, so she took a pot of tea and put it on the stone table. As long as she is tired of practicing and feels thirsty, she can pour a cup of tea, take a sip of tea, and be full of energy.

Nangong was sweating profusely, so he put the bow and arrow on the stone bench, and when he saw a pot of tea on the stone table, he knew that Shu Yao had brought it.

She poured a cup of tea while standing, drank it and practiced it again, and continued to practice after lunch.

I practiced like this for a day, and when I practiced until I was in the middle of the day, I took a bath, and as soon as I lay down in bed, I fell asleep as soon as I closed my eyes.

Shu Yao is used to going to the Suxi Hall to take a look at Nangong when she is about to rest.

She gently pushed the door open, and with a light step, she walked to the bed and saw that she was sleeping soundly and peacefully. Unlike usual, even when I sleep, I frown from time to time.

Shu Yao smiled lightly and left the Suxi Palace.

Early the next morning, Shu Yao went to the Suxi Hall to wake up Nangong and dress her. Who knew that Shu Yao pushed the door open, and she was no longer in the room.

Shu Yao went to the front yard to have a look, but she didn't expect her to start practicing archery without bunching her hair.

Shu Yao walked over and said to her, "Why don't I help you tie your hair first, and then you can practice?" ”

"No, you go about your business first, it's too much of a waste of time to tie your hair."

Shu Yao hurriedly said, "I'll be fast, just half an hour." ”

"The day after tomorrow, Master Li will check the homework, and I am still off target, so I have to hurry up." She said to Shu Yao while pre-pulling.

"Okay then! Call me if there's something to do. Shu Yao knew that she couldn't screw her, so she went to do something else.

Nangong Dumping, who usually eats for more than a quarter of an hour, finished the meal in less than half an hour today, and after eating, he went to the front yard to practice archery.

The sun was too big on both days, and practicing archery under the sun would make you sweat profusely after a while.

Such strong training is very strenuous. Drawing the bow requires force, and the string can be opened, so that the arrow can shoot far.

She did this for three days in a row, and her face was thin for the naked eye. She knew that she had never tried anything like this. But she slept well at night.

Quanzhou

It takes four days to get from Beiliang to Quanzhou. On the way to Quanzhou, I saw many refugees.

Quanzhou has been prosperous in the past few years, how could it end up with such a field? It's puzzling.

After arriving in Quanzhou on the fourth day, the county magistrate of Quanzhou waited for Beiran's arrival at the city gate.

When Beiran arrived at the gate of the city, he dismounted.

"See the king of the north." Quanzhou county magistrate Sun Qian said.

"You are?" Beiran only knew that Quanzhou was prosperous in the past few years, but he didn't know who was managing Quanzhou.

"Back to the king of the north, the minister is Sun Qian, the magistrate of Quanzhou County."

"It turned out to be County Magistrate Sun. There is the magistrate of Laosun County. Beiran said politely.

"King of the North, please come here." Sun Qian led Beiran and others into Quanzhou.

As soon as I entered the city, I saw the people setting up stalls in the market, and there were hardly many people on the road, and if there were, most of them were refugees.

"This king remembers that Quanzhou was prosperous a few years ago, why is it like this now?" Beiran wants to understand the situation in Quanzhou.

Sun Qian said embarrassedly, "A few years ago, Quanzhou was indeed prosperous, but somehow, the people suddenly couldn't afford to eat. ”

Bei Ran felt that something was wrong when he heard this, and his brows furrowed, "Will prosperous Quanzhou become poor overnight?" He looked at Sun Qian questioningly.

Sun Qian's eyes were a little floating, and his eyes looked left and right, "I don't know why this is happening, so I am sent to Your Majesty, please give instructions to Your Majesty." ”

Sun Qian's eyes were floating and flustered, and he was all seen by Bei Ran.

Sun Qian took Beiran and them to an inn to rest.

Bei Ran asked Sun Qian to show all the information in Quanzhou in the past few years and send the information into his room.

Sun Qian left the inn after sending all the materials to Beiran's room.

In the room, Bei Ran asked Wu Xi to find out what was going on.

And Beiran was reading the information in the room.

No one could have imagined that the prosperous Quanzhou would become what it is today.
