Facing the emperor's inquiry, Su Lie did not dare to hide anything and could only answer honestly: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the last general, the last general... sometimes works well and sometimes fails."
It’s not that he didn’t dare to finish his words, he just said that, but he slapped other people in the face. No one else can do it, but you, Su Lie?
Who would have thought that Li Er laughed loudly after hearing this, "Wonderful! So there is such a way to practice crossbows in the world, the weakest bow? This is not practicing archery, this is practicing controlling the strength, it is authentic Martial Arts. Ding Fang, how about showing it to us? Let everyone open their eyes?"
Su Lie looked at the fellow generals with some hesitation.
Everyone didn't understand what he was thinking. His old boss Chai Shao took the lead and shouted: "That's right. If you have this unique skill, you should come up with it early. Do you want us to show our shame for a long time? I'll punish you with a few more drinks when the banquet starts."
"That's right, come on up and let everyone open their eyes!"
…
So amidst everyone's enthusiastic cheers, Su Lie could only bite the bullet and walk out.
He picked up the magpie bow and twisted an arrow without an arrowhead.
"Hey, hey, hey, didn't you say to use real arrows? You can't do it without arrows." Someone booed.
Su Lie quickly held up his hands and explained: "I have practiced sharp arrows a hundred times and never hit them once. That is only possible with the iron-tired bow I am familiar with. Today's bow and arrow are my first time. I am really not sure. I can barely use this one." Try it.”
The emperor waved his hand to help smooth things over, "Okay, this will do. If you can do it with this, it already shows that you are extremely skilled."
For a moment, the whole place was silent. Everyone held their breath and watched Su Lie draw his bow and shoot arrows without disturbing him at all.
Ding!
The crisp and sweet bell rang, followed by a flood of cheers!
Well, wonderful!
Everyone gave Su Lie a thumbs up. This is awesome, you can really do it!
Lucky, lucky...Su Lie was humbled again and again.
If he knew, his matter would be treated as a test question, and even if he didn't come to the wedding banquet today, he would never be in the limelight. Showing your face means showing your face, but you may offend your colleagues in the Ministry of War. How will you get along with them in the future?
Li Xueyan covered her mouth and said in surprise: "So Sister Shengnan didn't lie. Is it really possible? Isn't this bow and arrow practice very good? How did you practice it?"
Su Lie, who was about to leave, heard the little girl's muttering. He turned around and smiled kindly, "It's very simple. Over time, draw the bow every day until you are exhausted. Ten years will be enough."
Oh...what? ten years? It’s been a long time.
Of course, do you think stunts are easy to practice? It's all water grinding work. Someone next to me joked.
Li Xueyan blushed deeply, stuck out her tongue, and then announced loudly: "Passed! I declare: The weakest bow in the world is... General Su. Congratulations to General Su."
After saying that, he quickly turned around and ran back to the small courtyard.
puff……
Su Lie:......
How do I feel, feel... am I being cheated?
What the hell kind of title is this? The weakest bow in the world? It's over, I should have known better not to perform, or I would have just shot through the tulle. In that case, the name belongs to the boy from before.
Feng Zhidai wiped away his sweat. It was such a close call and he almost gained a weird notoriety? Whose idea was this all? It's a trap, isn't it?
Returning to the guest seat, Chai Shao saw Su Lie's uneasiness and comforted him with a smile: "Don't worry, martial arts practitioners are broad-minded. Your unique skills are acquired through hard training for many years. Everyone envy you. You won't know how to do it." Jealous of you.”
envy? No, no, no, this is no longer the case. Now I just want to get rid of this ghost title.
"Hey, Brother Xiao, Brother Xue, haven't you finished painting yet? There are two more levels to come. Brothers can't stand it anymore." The eldest brother of the Cheng family came over to urge Xiao Rui.
Xiao Rui and Xue Li raised their brushes at the same time, "Hey, which level do you think is the most difficult? It's not yours, it's the ones we have. If you can't draw portraits well, after today's level, in the future, I have to pass every day.”
ah? Pass every day? What's the meaning? The eldest son of the Cheng family didn't understand.
Xiao Rui patted him on the shoulder and said, "Huaimo, you will understand after you get married. Today, I am taking care of you. It all depends on you brothers."
About a quarter of an hour later, the door to the small courtyard slowly opened again, and this time a group of servants and maids came out carrying things.
Everyone is very curious, what is this level?
It's chess, it's a huge chess board! Someone recognized it, pointed and shouted.
Yes, this level is chess.
Wei Shuyu, the brother of the bride Wei Yanran, came out, pointed to the huge chessboard that had been set up and said: "Today, all the talents have gathered, and the young and old are gathered together. We can't just compete in martial arts. So this game is more elegant. Let's do it in a more elegant way. I got an ending game called Zhenlong. Everyone here today can participate in breaking the game. Only those who can break Zhenlong can pass."
Zhenlong end game? Never heard of it.
This time, the civil servants were talking a lot. They saw the black and white chess pieces being hung up on the chessboard one by one. Soon the endgame was revealed. Everyone thought it was nothing. Isn't it just an unknown endgame?
"Hey, boy from the Wei family, are you the one guarding the gate?" Cheng Yaojin shouted.
Wei Shuyu saluted and said with a smile: "Of course not. The junior's chess skills are low, how can he withstand everyone's offensive? This game will be guarded by the famous chess master-Prince Fu Zhao."
Zhao Deyan walked out of the small courtyard with a smile, bowed his hands and saluted everyone, "Everyone, Zhao Deyan is polite."
Xiao Yue said dissatisfied: "Hey, Mr. Zhao, you have been living and dining in our house for many days, why did you go inside to guard the gate? Which group are you in?"
Everyone burst into laughter.
Zhao Deyan explained: "Although I am very grateful to the prince for being entertained by the prince for many days. But in terms of identity, the private school teacher who is the prince should naturally be from the prince's side. Today, the prince is a member of his natal family, so naturally I am also from my natal family. Man. I'm sorry, Mr. Xiao."
Several people nearby grabbed Xiao Yue and said, "Okay, Third Brother, let him guard. There are so many of us, how can we beat him?"
"Okay, there are many heroes among you. Which one of you will come?" Zhao Deyan admired.
Everyone, you look at me and I look at you, and you think to yourself, we are all dandies who dance with guns and sticks, or some arty playboys, but how advanced is our chess skills? Haha, definitely not as good as Zhao Deyan. I heard that he drove the Supreme Emperor to autism.
Where is the Supreme Emperor? Not here today?
No, he had been here a long time ago. He was originally going to be an audience, but when he thought that he was from his mother's family, he came into the small courtyard and took a look.
It was just this one look that was bad. He saw Zhao Deyan's Zhenlong chess game. No, he was holding Pei Ji back to break Zhenlong. Pei Ji kept complaining, "I'm here to have a feast, okay? I can't even watch the fun outside. I've been playing chess with you for two years. That's enough. I won't let you rest today?"
It’s over, don’t even think about this seat today.
Zhao Deyan must have done this on purpose. What kind of chess game could he test if he had nothing to do? I know clearly that the Supreme Emperor loves chess and is obsessed with chess. Isn't this tricking me?
At this moment, Feng Zhidai stood up and said, "Mr. Zhao, Lingnan Feng Zhidai, please enlighten me!"
Zhao Deyan cupped his hands and said, "Master Feng, please."
As if they had found a backbone, the younger brothers who were welcoming the bride said proudly, yes, there is Mr. Feng. He is known as the fifth in the world and he will definitely win.
win? How could Zhenlong be so easy to break?
