Chapter 20: "Prosperous" Quanzhou

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.

Beiran looked at those materials volume by volume, and saw one of the volumes, which read: In the 323rd year of Beiliang, Quanzhou began to prosper. Until 327 years of Beiliang, Quanzhou began to decline.

The prosperity of Quanzhou was prosperous for four years, and then it began to decline.

It is also written in the dossier that Sun Qian was the county magistrate of Quanzhou in Beiliang for 327 years.

It happened to be Quanzhou in the year when Quanzhou began to decline, is it such a coincidence?

——

Three days passed, and when it was time for Master Li to check, Master Li was waiting in the front yard early in the morning.

At the same time three days ago, Nangong had not yet come to the front yard.

After more than a minute, an arrow suddenly passed through Master Li's shoulder and hit the target.

Master Li turned around and saw that it was Nangong Dumping. Master Li applauded, and Nangong poured a smile to Master Li.

"Master Li, how did I ejaculate?" Nangong asked.

"It's really good that the princess was able to shoot the arrow target in three days." Master Li praised her.

Master Li praised her, and she smiled so much that she couldn't see her teeth.

"Naturally, Hongu has been practicing diligently for three days." It's really not praised, and it's proud when you praise it.

"Although the princess was able to shoot an arrow at the target in three days, it was not enough. Five days later, the grass people will come to see if the princess can shoot the arrow into the bull's-eye. ”

After Nangong Tianxuan heard this, his smile disappeared instantly, "Hit the bull's-eye on the fifth day, Master Li, aren't you joking?!" ”

"The princess can shoot an arrow at the target in three days, and naturally she can also shoot the bullseye in five days." Master Li is giving Zu Nangong confidence.

Nangong poured out a few pounds and taels in his heart, and he could barely shoot the arrow target after three days of sleeping less and practicing more. Now to hit the bull's-eye, it's a bit of a cannibalistic dream.

Nangong smiled awkwardly, "Master Li, although you said you could." But Bengong himself has a few pounds and a few taels, and he still knows it in his heart. ”

Master Li smiled meaningfully, "The princess can hit the bull's-eye in five days, but the ability to do this, whether the princess can appreciate it or not depends on you, princess." Grass people, retire first. ”

After speaking, Master Li left the palace.

Nangong left before she understood what Master Li meant.

Shu Yao has been watching from the sidelines.

"Shu Yao, what do you mean by what Master Li said?" Nangong couldn't think of it, so she asked Shu Yao.

Shu Yao heard Nangong Tanyu ask her, and looked at Nangong Tanyu with dilated pupils, "Miss, I read less books than you walk, you ask me?!" Shu Yao said in a questioning tone.

Nangong Qian glanced at Shu Yao from the bottom up, shook his head, and said, "Also, why should I ask you?" She feigned disgust.

When Shu Yao heard this, she always felt that something was strange. After thinking about it carefully, she realized that Nangong was disgusted with her.

"You dislike me for being uneducated!" Shu Yao said loudly.

Nangong smiled on her back and faced the sky, laughing until her stomach hurt, she covered her stomach and said, "You finally reacted." Hahahaha~"

"Didn't you say it yourself! If you hadn't said it yourself, I wouldn't have wanted to continue. Nangong said with a smile.

Shu Yao clenched her little fists with both hands, angry at why she said such a sentence.

Nangong Tilting saw that Shu Yao was angry with herself, and she felt very cute when she looked at it, cute and funny.

"Okay, if you're angry, it's going to get even funnier." Nangong put away his smiling face and said seriously.

Shu Yao glanced at Nangong and tilted her waist, crossed her waist and said, "Okay!" Seeing that you are so sincere, I am not angry. Shu Yao said seriously.

Shu Yao's serious words made Nangong tilt her head and laugh again.

Nangong poured her smile really low, very low, typical of an Aries girl.

Shu Yao saw Nangong tilting her head and laughing, and she felt very inexplicable.

Nangong stopped laughing and asked Shu Yao seriously, "Why haven't you seen Bei Ran for the past few days?" ”

"Oh, a few days ago, His Majesty sent the prince to Quanzhou to relieve the refugees."

"Quanzhou? Relief? Refugee? ”

Shu Yao nodded, "Well, what's wrong?" ”

Nangong poured out his thoughts: Aren't the ministers in the palace who go to relief in the TV series? Why did you send the prince to help?

Nangong tilted his eyes and glanced around, there was no one, so he approached Shu Yao and whispered, "In my world, the relief in the TV series is all sent to the ministers of the palace." But why would His Majesty send a prince? ”

"It's not clear. Your Majesty's decision, who dares to question it! ”

"Forget it, you hurry up and get me some food, and I can practice archery after eating." Nangong Qian touched his stomach and said.

"I know!" After saying that, Shu Yao ran to the kitchen to make food.

——

"Lord Wang, at present, all the files related to Quanzhou's transformation from prosperity to poverty are here." After saying that, three or four guards carried a pile of files and put them on the table.

Bei Ran took a look at it, "That's all?" ”

Wu Xi nodded, "There are only so many things that have been found so far. ”

Bei Ran asked the other guards to retreat, leaving Wu Xi behind, and the two looked for clues in the file together.

I have read a lot of files, and many of them are useless.

Wu Xi picked up a dossier, frowned after reading it, and handed the dossier to Beiran, "Lord Wang, look at this volume." According to the dossier, a lot of bandits suddenly came and robbed a lot of supplies from Quanzhou. ”

Beiran took the file and looked at it, and also felt very strange, even if there were really bandits, it was impossible to turn Quanzhou like this in such a short time.

"Find Sun Qian." Beiran said.

After a while, Wu Xi brought Sun Qian over.

Bei Ran threw the dossier to Sun Qian and asked him what was going on.

Sun Qian stammered, "The minister doesn't know very well!" In the year that His Majesty sent Quanzhou to Quanzhou, Quanzhou began to decline. ”

"You really don't know?" Beiran asked in a skeptical tone.

"I really don't know." Sun Qian said in a panic.

Bei Ran made a look, and Wu Xi took Sun Qian out.

Sun Qian was flustered, and everyone could see that he was a thief.

Beiran separated that file from the others, and then continued to look at the other files.

The further back I looked at the file, I also found a lot of doubts.

For example, Quanzhou has been prosperous for several years, why did bandits rob Quanzhou in 327 years of Beiliang? Since Quanzhou began to decline in Beiliang 327, why would Sun Qian still be willing to come to Quanzhou to serve as a county?

As far as those ministers of Beiliang are concerned, if they do not have some interests, they will never come to a declining place to serve as a county.

After Wu Xi took Sun Qian out, he returned to the inn.

Bei Ran asked Wu Xi to check Sun Qian's background. I really can't think of any reason for a minister to be willing to serve as a county magistrate in a declining county.

When Wu Xi went to investigate Sun Qian, Bei Ran stayed in the room and continued to look at the file and drink tea.

——

Shu Yao made a lot of delicious food for Nangong Dumping, all of which she loved to eat after her soul wore to Beiliang.

For example, osmanthus cake, rose cake and many other pastries.

Although these pastries are made in modern times, the taste is not as authentic as here.

After Nangong finished eating, he continued to go back to the front yard to practice archery.

Although he is now able to shoot at the target, he still occasionally misses the target.

Shooting the target is not very stable, and now it suddenly takes five days to shoot the bull's-eye, isn't this really a fool's dream?

And what Master Li said, Nangong Qian hadn't figured out what it meant.

Nangong still complains in her heart: Can't you say it in plain language? I have to make it mysterious, I have to understand it myself. What if I don't understand it? Isn't there no need to learn?

Although complaining is complaining, it is still obediently practiced and pondered.

In the first two days, Nangong Tilting was still the same as the previous three days, practicing frantically, practicing, and practicing every day. There was no attachment to what Master Li said.

Until the third day, she could count the number of times she shot the bullseye on five fingers. With only three days left, she had to stop and ponder Master Li's words.

What is the key to comprehension?

Nangong Qian thought about it, and sat on the stone bench, holding his face with his hands, thinking carefully.

She thought back to her state of archery, and felt that there was nothing wrong with it, just practice more, and it would not be wrong to practice more. What's wrong with that?

So he picked up the bow and arrow, from the standing, pulled the string, pre-pulled, opened the bow, aimed, unstringed, slowed down step by step, and took his time.

She slowed down, repeated it several times, and slowly realized the problem.

It turned out that my practice in the past three days was not to shoot the bull's-eye, but just to shoot the arrow target.

After discovering the problem, I readjusted the status.

Do all the basic essentials before aiming. When aiming, give your full attention, close your eyes, and feel the position of the bull's-eye.

Once you feel the position of the bull's-eye, open your eyes, let go of the string, and hit the bull's-eye.

She was happy, but in order to prove that her idea was correct, she shot a few more arrows, all of which hit the bull's-eye.

She finally knew what Master Li was talking about.

"It turns out that the skill that Master Li said is to feel the position of the bullseye with your heart." She said to herself with a smile.

In the next two days, she didn't care about how fast she practiced, she just wanted to hit the bull's-eye with every arrow, and feel the position of the bull's-eye.

Every day when Shu Yao is almost at that hour, she will change a pot of tea to Nangong Dumping.

When she arrived at the point to pour Nangong for a pot of tea, she couldn't help but be happy for her when she saw that every arrow she could hit the bull's-eye.

"Let's have a cup of tea and take a break!" Shu Yao said.

Nangong Tilting did not stop until he was thirsty as in the past, but put the bow and arrow on the stone table, sat down, and slowly took a sip of tea.

"How do you manage to hit the bull's-eye with every arrow?" Nangong poured by leaps and bounds, which had to make Shu Yao curious.

"I didn't know what Master Li was talking about, until I adjusted my state, slowed down, and took one step at a time to see which of my steps was incorrect. Later, I realized that it was not that my steps were incorrect, but that I did not pay attention to the position of the bull's-eye. ”

Nangong poured out slowly, carefully explaining the process of his comprehension.

Nangong poured out what she said seriously, and Shu Yao sat on the stone bench unconsciously, looking into her eyes and listening carefully to her explanation.

"But I'm also curious, there are so many things to learn, why would you want to learn archery?" This question is what Shu Yao wants to know the most.

Nangong Qian thought about it carefully, how to answer Shu Yao's question.

"Actually, I don't know why I want to learn archery. Maybe it's because I have watched too many costume dramas in my world, and I also want to learn archery. Maybe it's just a matter of learning archery. ”

Although it is a bit ambiguous to say this, this is the truest answer in Nangong Dumping's heart.

"What else do you want to do besides learning archery?"

"Well......." she thought for a moment, "maybe I'd like to work on some bows and arrows." ”

"Studying bows and arrows?" Shu Yao was shocked.

Nangong Tianhua nodded firmly, "That day, Master Li first introduced me to the bow, and then introduced me to the arrow. The bow I have in my hand now," she said, gesturing to the one on the stone table, "this bow, it's just a very ordinary bow. And now the arrow I am using is the wormwood head arrow. I thought to myself, if a good bow was paired with a good arrow, wouldn't it be different? ”

"Although there is a good bow that is easy to pick up, it can get twice the result with half the effort. But I don't think it's necessary to study arrows! Shu Yao said.

Nangong Qian thought about Shu Yao's words for a while, shook his head, and said, "There are too many kinds of arrows, and not all of them are suitable for you." I'm going to find the right arrow for myself. ”
