Originally, Fan Yantang, the master of archery and horse archery, also taught, but Fan Yantang emphasized the martial arts of the rivers and lakes, which was different from Marshal Han's knowledge of the martial arts in the army. Fan Yantang has been learning martial arts with Song Jiang since he was a child, and although he is not bad at archery, after all, he is not his forte, but he is not as special as Han Shizhong.

Marshal Han was brave when he was young, he could ride an untamed horse, and after joining the army, he was a saddle horse for many years. He Guan once forbade the Liao army to cross the border to get water, and shot three arrows at the cliff behind him, and the Liao army laughed at him at the beginning for not being accurate, but when he saw the three arrows inserted into a rock in turn and fell into a deep place, they were stunned. Thirty years later, Khitan Xiao Taishi met with He Guan and talked about the matter, praising him greatly. He Guan said: "That person is me." Taishi Xiao hurriedly saluted, and really shocked the enemy division. Later, he was ordered to guard the northwest, and when he saw the hero Han Shizhong, he loved it and taught him all archery. He Guan repeatedly made military exploits in the three kingdoms of Liao, Western Xia and Jin, but unfortunately when Jin invaded the Song Dynasty, he was isolated and helpless, and died on the battlefield after three days of fighting against the city. Han Shizhong deeply regretted every time he thought of this, but fortunately, today there is another generation of inheritors of Master's Divine Marksmanship, especially the talent of abandoning diseases, and Marshal Han is very pleased.

We all know that Shen Kuo's "Dream Creek Writings" is an ancient encyclopedia, and what Mr. Shen can write down is of course not ordinary. In the sixteenth volume of the book, "Instruments", a bow is recorded. It is said that it has a range of more than three hundred and forty steps. In the Song Dynasty, this range was definitely a sniper rifle. Where is this bow sacred, and why can it shoot so far? The following editor will reveal the secret to you from the beginning:

This bow is the Western Xia Divine Arm Bow. According to the record of "Mengxi Bi Tan", the Xixia Divine Arm Bow is actually a "partial crossbow", which is composed of three parts: the crossbow body, the crossbow machine and the pedal. To put it simply, pedaling is to put it on the ground, step on it with your feet, and then pull the bow with both hands to wind it. Why use your feet, of course, is to get more kinetic energy and let the arrow shoot farther. The crossbow machine is half the soul of the Divine Arm Bow. There is no crossbow, just a bow and arrow, and at most a semi-automatic rifle. With a crossbow, the shooter can both keep shooting for a long time and have more energy to aim at the enemy. Therefore, with the crossbow machine, the Western Xia Divine Arm Bow became a powerful "sniper rifle" of that era.

The real Western Xia God Arm Bow, with its crossbow body intricately made, has reached a mysterious state. Moreover, the material for the production of the crossbow body also absolutely requires the place of origin: the main material is a kind of tough wood produced in Western Xia; The key accessories should be produced in Western Xia, a giant horn of an adult male yak. This yak horn is very long, yellow and black in color, and has its own pattern. The steps are equally mysterious. Today, we only know that we first cut the horn into long slices, and then, according to the different parts of the bow, choose different lengths, and then use special glue to glue the flakes one by one. This is the soul of the Xixia Divine Arm Bow, because in ancient times when there were no carbon fiber and nano materials, only the combination of these two materials could allow people to accurately shoot one sharp arrow after another into the enemy's chest more than three hundred steps away.

In the blink of an eye, it was the twenty-second year of Song Shaoxing, the fourth year of Jin Tiande, the eighteenth year of Huaiying, the fifteenth year of Fan Jiu'er, and the twelfth year of abandoning illness and jade. Huaiying, Jiu'er, and Qijian practiced martial arts with Yantang, and learned internally, Fan Jiu'er was the best at the beginning, and then several people gradually became similar, even Ruyu. But Huaiying is three years older than Fan Jiu'er, Fan Jiu'er is three years older and abandons the disease, Ruyu is the same age as the abandonment disease, and the age difference between the teenage children is very obvious. Ruyu is a girl, she is young, but her martial arts are not bad at all, which is naturally the result of Fan Yantang and his wife's joint protection and hard work. Several of them are taught by famous teachers, and they are all diligent and hard-working, and their martial arts enter the realm so quickly. Huaiying and abandonment of illness are full of poetry and books, both civil and military.

It turned out that Xin Zan was originally the commander of the county, diligent and loving the people, and then Li Qiong took care of it, and successively transferred to Suzhou, Yizhou, and Haizhou to serve, all of which were for the benefit of one party.

At this time, the Jin State has been in the past three and a half years since Yan Liang killed Xizong and usurped the throne, and is waiting to move the capital to Yanjing Daxing Mansion. Although Wan Yan Liang is tyrannical and unabated, he is the opposite of his puppet emperor, but he is a promising hero. He took the relocation of the capital from Shangjing Huining as the starting point, one was to rectify the rule of officials, eradicate dissidents, and innovate personnel; One made it difficult to shift the center of gravity of the Jin State, stabilized the rule of the Central Plains, and threatened the south of the Huai River to put pressure on the Great Song Dynasty. Wan Yanliang's move to the capital was slow, not only taking into account the political stability and tranquility of the old capital of Shangjing Huining, but also full of the atmosphere of killing the powerful and the wealthy.

Wan Yan Liang is not only suspicious by nature, but also arrogant, there are not many accomplices in the first place, and there are even fewer Han people who know about themselves.3 At this time, he became the emperor of the Jin State, and Cai Songnian was originally friendly with him. And Kaifeng, both for the old capital of the Song Dynasty, Wan Yan Liang was degraded by Wan Yan before he ascended the throne, and he was sent here to lead the Taishang Shu to save trouble, he intended to promote it to Nanjing at this time, and from Cai Songnian's words to appoint Xin Zan as the prefect of Kaifeng, he specially announced that he would go to Beijing to teach the opportunity.

In the Western Xia Dynasty, the production of the divine arm bow was listed as a state secret. The Western Xia country was narrow and had few people, and in the encirclement of Song and Liao, even if all the people were soldiers, it was still in crisis. With the Divine Arm Bow, this problem is much easier to solve. Above the range of the enemy's bow and arrow, the Western Xia army could accurately shoot the enemy on the opposite side. can make Xixia survive for nearly two hundred years, and the divine arm bow is indispensable.

King Yun said solemnly: "Contrary to the Jin State and the Great Song Dynasty, they implemented the system of Meng'an and Mouke, and in the local area, the military general Meng'an or Mouke was the leader, but the civilian officials were secondary. Brother Xin Zan is an official in the Jin country, not only to deal with the arrogance of the Jin people, but also to protect the people's livelihood, and it is not easy to be the prefect of Kaifeng, the old capital of the Great Song Dynasty.

"This time, you want to take Huaiying and abandon your illness to go to Beijing, worship Cai Songnian as a teacher, and increase your knowledge. That Cai Songnianwen likes Tao Qian, Dongpo Zhixue, cultivation is very high, in the early years with Zuo Prime Minister Jin Wushu befriended, as a member of the criminal department, it was he who recommended Brother Xin Zan to be the county order. It is rare that he has always been valued by the current Emperor Wanyan Liang of the Jin Kingdom, and he has become the right prime minister. Kaifeng will soon be promoted to Nanjing, the state of Jin, and his status is very important, and it is rare for him to successfully elect Brother Xin as the prefect of Kaifeng. Brother Xin has stepped down from the prefect of Haizhou, and he is going to Beijing to report on his work. ”

When he heard that his grandfather was coming to pick him up and Huaiying and then go to Beijing to study, he was going to see his father and mother, and he was shocked and surprised. But thinking that he was going to leave Qian County, he would inevitably have to be separated from Fan Yantang, Liu Zhan and others, but he was reluctant.

Li Baodao: "Huaiying has devoted herself to studying literature, and now she has learned a lot from Mr. Liu, and she has a good foundation. And abandon the disease and obsess with martial arts, we have the hope of Marshal Han and Marshal Yue for it, and when we grow up, we will lead the world and recover the Central Plains. And if you want to study the article in depth, isn't it a waste of time? Cai Songnian studied under Su Shi, could it be that we should give up our illness and become a literary master like Li Bai and Su Shi? ”

Li Qiong smiled and said: "Of course we don't force Huaiying to abandon illness and become literary masters like Li Bai and Su Shi. But it is an indisputable fact that these two children are extremely talented among the dragons and phoenixes. Li Laosan said that Huaiying should study literature and abandon illness, but he really looked away. Huaiying's literary achievements in the future will certainly not be low, but Liu Zhan often says that abandoning illness is a literary genius that is rare in a century, and it is not an extravagant hope to keep pace with Bachelor Su. ”

Li Bao knew that Li Qiong had always been steady, and he couldn't help but be taken aback when he spoke like this. Bachelor Su's talent is like the sun and the moon, and although the Great Song Dynasty is full of talents, no one can match it. At a young age, he was so boasted by his master Liu Zhan, and Li Qiong was convinced that what he said was true. He couldn't help but turn to Huaiying, who looked at him and knew that he was inquiring, so he nodded with a gentle smile. Abandoning illness and being extremely intelligent, Huaiying was suddenly generous, and Li Bao couldn't help but be pleased.

Li Bao said again: "King Yun teaches you to play chess and play soldiers every day, if you play chess, you can retreat from the enemy, I am not stupid, I have already become a national player." And then there is talking about military books on paper, which is not enough. King Yun didn't care, just smiled: "Don't talk nonsense, make the children not believe me, everything is in vain." It turns out that King Yun also learned from Zhou Dong and has the same friendship with Yue Fei, and Li Bao is from Yue Fei's command, the two have been familiar with each other, and they are used to talking and laughing casually.

King Yun said: "Grandpa Li Bao's debut is a wild road, you have to learn from him to kill people and set fires, and do all kinds of evil." Li Baozheng said: "It's okay to do no evil, but where can you avoid killing people and setting fires?" In the future, if you have not discounted a few legs and unscrewed off a few heads, where will you get the ruthlessness and prestige? They were going to Huining, and I followed as a master, and along the way I found a few bad guys to open meat for these two children, and see blood. ”

Half a month later, Xin Zan took Li Chengjin to take a detour to Kan County, the road was far away, Xin Zan was old, and he inevitably had to rest for two days.

On this day, King Yun, Xin Zan, Li Bao, Fan Yantang, Li Chengjin, Huaiying, Jiu'er, Qijian and several others went out and were about to go, only to hear Su Lan shouting from the door: "Ruyu can't follow." When everyone looked back, they saw Ruyu dressed as a woman, carrying a small luggage package of her own, quietly following far behind, and the group was the most neatly dressed.

Ruyu changed into men's clothes, white and blue shirts, standing outstanding. Although the little girl usually looks tall, she is only twelve years old after all, but she is very petite, but she doesn't know how she got such a compact and fitting clothes. Everyone else rides horses, and she doesn't know where her horses are, but she's clever and transparent, so she shouldn't walk stupidly and follow behind others.

As she spoke, Su Lan rushed out of the door, "Ruyu, you should know the severity, but don't shout indiscriminately, so as not to make the neighbors laugh!" "Su Lan wants to praise the old man and abandon the disease and other things are extremely important, but also extremely secretive, although Ruyu is very clever, but after all, she is a child, and she is eager to go, I am afraid that she will shout on the street. Thankfully, it was early in the day, and there was no one else on the street.

Ruyu said angrily: "If you don't let me go, I just want to make trouble!" ”

Su Lan was angry and funny: "You know that they have something to do when they go to Beijing, Huaiying, abandon the disease and take scientific examinations, you are a girl, you are young, what are you going to do there?" ”

Ruyu shouted: "I am two months younger than me, and I have also changed into men's clothes, why can't I go?" I know they didn't just go there for the imperial examinations. ”

Su Lan was taken aback, and said in her heart that this girl was also unreasonable at this time, and immediately turned away from the topic: "Yes, they still have to study with Master Cai again." ”

When Ruyu was three years old, she saw that more than 100 members of her family were burned at the stake by Wan Yanliang, and the tragedy of her death was incomparable, and she didn't want to take revenge all the time. Now that the years are getting older, the martial arts have achieved a little, and today there are fathers, brothers, and abandoned diseases and other martial arts masters into Beijing, and the opportunity for revenge is in front of them, where can they still hold it. No matter how much you try to persuade you, you just don't agree to stay.

Su Lan gradually became angry, her face was gloomy, and she scolded in a low voice: "Do you really want to take revenge or fake revenge if you make such a fuss, you are stupid, I don't know if it is too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years?" There is the Longtan Tiger's Den, do you want your father, brother, and abandonment to die with you now, not waiting for revenge in the future? Your brother will return soon after his father arrives in Beijing, and you should both continue to practice martial arts. When you grow up in the future, your martial arts achievements will be as good as your father's, isn't it the greater the certainty? If there was a 100% certainty then, now there is not even 10%. Although it was bound to be very dangerous at that time, I was afraid that it would be too much, but after all, the certainty was much greater. ”

Ruyu softened obediently, and just said, "I just want to find out the news there with Brother Qijian and Brother Huaiying." Su Lan said warmly: "Huaiying and abandoning the disease are all arranged by Lord Cai, just stand forward, go to find out the news first, King Yun and Marshal Han have a lot of important things to do and plan early, and revenge is naturally among them." The death of your family is not only a family feud, but also a national hatred, and when the time comes in the future, it is incumbent on me and your father. ”
