"It looks like this thing has been manipulated beforehand!"
Huo Qubing also saw relatively sparse burrs at the crack of the broken bow, and even a clear saw mark.
Li Ke didn't respond. He held the broken bow and stayed there for a long time.
Perhaps noticing something was wrong in the atmosphere, Huo Qubing pretended to be relaxed and said with a grin: "Don't worry, Your Highness, I can still catch prey even without bows and arrows. Your Highness, just wait a moment, I'll come back as soon as I can!"
After saying that, he waved his head and turned towards the forest.
"Wait!"
Li Ke stopped the man and said, "I know you are brave and brave, but after all, there are many people here."
Li Ke knew that during this period, too many people had turned their attention to himself.
Although so far, everyone has a wait-and-see or tentative attitude toward him.
But if Huo Qubing's bravery is exposed, the nature will be completely different!
Because that will not only make people think that he, Li Ke, has been recruiting troops secretly for a long time, but it will also make people naturally speculate that he, Li Ke, has always harbored some greater ambition.
"No, absolutely not!"
Li Ke breaks into a cold sweat just thinking about the scenes of himself being monitored, targeted, and framed in various ways.
"Before your wings are full, you must keep a low profile! Don't expose your force easily without my permission!"
Afraid that Huo Qubing would be impulsive, he reminded him seriously.
"I understand!" Huo Qubing nodded solemnly, but he was inevitably a little worried, "Since the hunting bow is destroyed, how can we still..."
"Don't worry, I have a way!" Li Ke was confident.
It was a rare trip to the hunting ground. He didn't want to gain face for his father, but he definitely couldn't bring shame to his mother and concubine.
Therefore, hunting must be done, and the number of prey for cross-fertilization cannot be too small.
If the tool is broken, then make a new bow. Anyway, there is still some time before the hunting is over.
Li Ke did what he thought of. He first picked up the broken bow, then took out the knife, chisel, etc. and began to polish and transform it.
Unconsciously, Broken Bow's appearance changed drastically under his hands.
"Your Highness, this is..."
Huo Qubing looked at the thing in front of him that looked like a bow but not a bow, with two wheels on top, and his eyes were full of curiosity.
"This is called a compound bow. Due to the limited materials, the power cannot be guaranteed." Li Ke said and thrust the compound bow into Huo Qubing's hand. "Anyway, let's try the feel first."
In order to stabilize the structure of the compound bow, he used a lot of rivets; and in order to increase its power, he also used cowhide bands. After such modifications, although it is not as good as modern compound bows, it is definitely stronger than ordinary hard bows. Too much.
As for the rest, as long as it can survive hunting, I don’t care how long this bow can last.
If he wasn't worried about affecting Huo Qubing's image, he really wanted to get two slingshots.
Hearing this, Huo Qubing was still a little hesitant. He hesitated for a while before grabbing the bow and arrow, bending the bow and stringing it.
There was a gust of wind, and a sharp arrow rose into the sky.
Then a wild goose fell down and hit them at their feet.
"How?" Li Ke asked casually.
"The power may be slightly weaker than before, but both the accuracy and the smoothness of the transport have been greatly improved. Not to mention the subordinates, I am afraid that with it, young children may also become hunting masters!"
As a soldier, Huo Qubing highly praised this new type of crossbow.
Taking a deep breath, he added seriously: "My subordinates believe that if this bow is improved, it can even be popularized in the military!"
Li Ke described the great change, "This is impossible..."
Huo Qubing looked puzzled, but then he thought about it, his master always kept a low profile.
Li Ke looked around to make sure there were no outsiders around, and then his expression softened slightly.
"You go around and catch some prey while I rest for a while."
After receiving the greeting, Huo Qubing did not go far and kept wandering around him.
The occasional rustling sound, as well as the short and sad howl of a certain prey, let Li Ke know:
Huo Qubing's gains should not be too little.
Even though he had been mentally prepared, Li Ke was still dumbfounded when he saw the wild bear being dragged back.
"Your Highness, do you think this is enough?"
Huo Qubing casually threw the wild bear to the ground and said seriously.
"Thank you for your hard work, you should rest for a while first." Li Ke was stunned for a long time before he said with a smile.
"I'm not tired, my subordinate. I heard that someone spotted a clouded leopard in front of me. I'll go take a look."
Huo Qubing's eyes were shining, as if he had been injected with chicken blood, and he was not tired at all.
"Leopard or something, why don't you give it to someone else!"
Li Ke reluctantly pulled the person back and comforted him in a good voice, "When we eat meat, we must leave a mouthful of soup for others to drink. Otherwise, it will be bad if someone flips the table over in anger."
Huo Qubing was obviously not that arrogant, but he also had no intention of disobeying the prince.
Even though Li Ke tried his best to keep a low profile, the scene of Huo Qubing dragging a wild bear was still noticed by some of the boys.
"Whose bodyguard is that, and what kind of weapon is that in his hand?"
"Who else could it be? Of course it would be King Wu's entourage."
"It's King Wu again, how come that guy is so lucky that he even encountered a bear?"
Some people are looking for large prey such as bears, deer, etc. from the moment they enter the hunting grounds.
But until now, most people have only hunted a few pheasants and rabbits.
There is no doubt that the bear hunted by Huo Qubing was the first heavy prey to appear during this hunt.
And quite possibly the only one.
"Even if someone has that kind of fate, there's nothing you can do about it if you envy him!" Some people are more realistic.
And some people are more extreme, such as Li Chengqian.
"A bunch of trash!"
Li Chengqian kicked the official who reported the news to the ground, then stretched out his big hand and nodded on the faces of the group of exhausted and sweating followers, "If we can't find the clouded leopard, I will kill you." Head!”
He was scolding his men in various ways, but Li Ke was basking in the sun under the shade of a tree.
"The weather is so sunny today, the scenery is beautiful everywhere, the scenery..."
He closed his eyes, hummed a tune, and swayed his legs a few more times, looking happy.
[Ding, congratulations to the host for successfully changing his destiny. Two hundred bonus points! 】
The sudden system prompt made Li Ke confused on the spot.
After a long while, he blinked his big eyes innocently twice, tilted his head, and said to himself: "What did I do?"
Just as he was thinking to himself, a sudden gust of wind eroded his body.
In an instant, the hair on Li Ke's body stood on end.
At the same time that a sudden but extremely strong sense of crisis hit him, he rolled to the ground.
There was a muffled sound from behind.
When he turned around, he realized that it was actually a sharp arrow with green light, piercing the tree trunk he had just leaned against.
