Xiang Yu couldn't help but admired.
This bow was more than one level higher than the bow he used himself in terms of materials, workmanship, power and accuracy. Zhao Ying, who was watching him draw his bow and shoot arrows, couldn't help but nod secretly.
"good--"
Xiang Yu is the only one besides him who can use his five-stone bow freely.
Others, such as Fan Kuai, are not unable to pull apart, but they cannot pull it apart as easily as Xiang Yu. During training, it is okay to try it out occasionally, but it is a bit reluctant to use it in actual combat.
Two hundred paces away, he hit the bull's-eye, smashing the target with force. It was at a good level, and in the mouth of the emperor's eldest grandson, it was just good——
Xiang Yu pursed his lips, turned around and stretched out his bow to Zhao Ying, who was standing with his hands behind his back.
"Xiang Yu is not talented, I would like to see His Highness's amazing shooting——"
Zhao Ying raised his eyebrows and casually took the long bow from Xiang Yu's hand, with a faint smile on his face. He casually took out two big coins from his arms, threw them to Xiang Yu aside, and pointed forward.
"Go, go two hundred steps away, find a branch and hang it on..."
He has been in power for a long time, and in the army, he has followed the rules and regulations. Li Xin, Wang Li, Han Xin, Zhang Han, Chen Ping, Zhang Liang, Xiao He, Cao Shen, Meng Zhan, and even the emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty in later generations, all of these became famous in a short time. Jun, all of his subordinates bowed their heads and obeyed orders, and they had already subtly developed the magnanimity of a superior.
This sentence was spoken naturally and smoothly, with an unquestionable air.
Xiang Yu didn't think much and subconsciously reached out to take it.
After taking it, I realized something was wrong. Why should I, Xiang Yu, listen to his instructions? I am not his subordinate!
If you want to refuse, you can look back. I found that the emperor's eldest grandson didn't take this seriously at all. He had already walked aside and began to roll up his sleeves, preparing to show off his archery skills.
He wasn't even given a chance to refuse.
If I rush forward and refuse now, it will make me look stingy and at a disadvantage!
Gan!
He felt as if something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what went wrong. He could only keep his head down, found a place, and hung up two large coins according to Zhao Ying's instructions.
Fan Kuai watched with interest as this young man who was so aggressive in the yard just now, threatening to show off with the general and make a good argument, was dispelled by his own general, and he couldn't help but smile. meaning.
Compared with his own general, this young man is still too young.
Seeing Xiang Yu indicating that it was ready, Zhao Ying casually pulled out two arrow feathers and shot them out like beads without thinking.
An arrow breaks the silk rope, and an arrow cuts through the eye of money.
Xiang Yu:! ! ! ! ! !
He is proficient in archery himself, so he naturally knows how difficult it is. The copper coins are swaying on the branches. It is extremely difficult to break the silk rope with one arrow. The moment the copper coins fall, another arrow crosses the eyes of two copper coins. This can be said to be a miraculous skill.
"His Royal Highness's archery skills are amazing, I am not as good as them -"
Xiang Yu's tone was a little difficult. This was the first time since he was a child that he met someone who could surpass him in archery, especially when the other person was a young man who was several years younger than himself.
Zhao Ying waved his hand indifferently and threw the bow and arrow to Fan Kuai aside.
"Archery, little Doyle..."
Xiang Yu:! ! ! ! ! !
He looked at the two large coins strung up by arrows in his hand, and then at Zhao Ying in front of him. He wanted to see the arrogance and pride on the face of the emperor's eldest grandson, but he was disappointed.
The emperor's eldest grandson looked calm and unconcerned.
It seems that in his eyes, this archery skill is really nothing worth mentioning.
Xiang Yu:......
"You just said that you use a halberd. Coincidentally, I also happen to be the same. Since you didn't bring your own weapon, you can try it with mine first..."
Xiang Yu:......
He couldn't help secretly swallowing as he looked at the Tianlong City-Breaking Halberd that was almost the same shape as his own, but looked even more exaggerated.
If this halberd was also made of meteorite iron, wouldn't it weigh more than five hundred kilograms?
No!
I can carry a cauldron myself, and the halberd in my hand only weighs more than 120 kilograms. How could anyone in this world be able to use a weapon weighing more than 500 kilograms?
This is not about lifting things, but about picking them up and swinging them freely, without putting too much burden on the body. Therefore, even if the emperor's eldest grandson was born with the same supernatural power as himself, or was just a little stronger than himself, he would never be able to use a weapon weighing more than 500 kilograms!
However, he still had some drumming in his heart.
But if he said it out loud, who would be the one to spill it out? He had just threatened to show off with others, but now he gave up and lost all face. What's more, at this time, the emperor's grandson was looking at him with a smile, and the guards who were guarding him just now were also looking at him with playful eyes. How could he be allowed to back down!
He hesitated, strode over, grabbed the halberd with one hand, and lifted it hard, his expression changed greatly.
Shen!
Although he had secretly accumulated strength, he still barely managed to lift the halberd. The weight of this halberd was probably over 500 kilograms!
So, after shouting for a long time, he couldn't even use other people's weapons?
I can't afford to lose this shame!
Seeing Xiang Yu easily lifting his general's weapon with just one hand, Fan Kuai and several of his guards couldn't help but cheer loudly.
"Okay, strong man!"
Xiang Yu:......
He couldn't help but blush, and he wondered if these guards resented his arrogance just now and were deliberately making sarcastic remarks to ridicule him.
Although he tried his best to maintain his dignity and look calmer, this weapon was really heavy. He is a member of his own family and knows his own affairs. With his own strength, he cannot use this halberd!
He would not naively think that Zhao Ying deliberately made such a heavy weapon to bluff him.
Because it’s too late and there’s no need.
Although he was very reluctant to admit the latter point, he knew that it was a fact, because nowadays, people are like swordsmen and others are like fish and meat. With their current status and strength, if they want to kill themselves, there is no need to go through all these troubles.
In the place where I am most proud, I am crushed by others.
It had a great impact on Xiang Yu's heart.
If you can barely use other people's weapons, what's the point of comparing yourself?
"Little brother, how about it? Can it be used? If not, don't force it..."
When Fan Kuai saw this, he couldn't help but give a kind reminder.
He could see that his general was already attracted by this young man's talent, and he really couldn't bear to see this brave young man hurt his roots because of his good appearance.
Among the people he has seen, this person is second only to the general in terms of bravery.
Xiang Yu originally thought about whether he should let it go, but after hearing Fan Kuai's words, his face turned red with embarrassment.
How powerful he was in shouting in front of Fan Kuai and others just now, how embarrassing he would be now.
He exerted all his strength and shouted loudly, and the more than 500 kilograms of Tianlong city-breaking halberd was danced by him. Fan Kuai and several soldiers couldn't help but cheer loudly.
"color--"
Cheers sincerely.
Do they know how powerful the weapon of their general is? Ordinary people can't even lift it, let alone use it. It weighs more than five hundred kilograms.
But in Xiang Yu's ears, at this moment, it turned into a different kind of smell.
ridicule--
He subconsciously turned his head to look at Zhao Ying, and caught Zhao Ying's approving gaze.
Zhao Ying really praised it. His weapon weighed more than 500 kilograms. It was difficult for four people to carry it for an ordinary strong man, but this overlord of Western Chu could actually make it look impressive!
Xiang Yu:......
At this moment, he was so embarrassed and angry that he wished he could dig a crack in the ground and get in.
It's ridiculous that I actually want to compete with others!
Archery failed miserably!
As for martial arts...
You must not be looked down upon by others, otherwise your challenge will become a big joke! He gritted his teeth, his heart became fierce, and his muscles all over his body were stiff. He was forced to perform a set of halberd techniques.
Taking advantage of the opportunity to retreat, he leaned on his halberd and secretly stretched his sore arms.
He knew in his heart that he had reached his limit. Let alone letting him perform it again, even if he did it again, he might make a fool of himself on the spot.
"Not bad! Your halberd skills are wide open and close, brave and sharp, and are very suitable for fighting on the battlefield-"
Zhao Ying praised it sincerely.
Xiang Yu's set of halberd skills is really powerful, even compared to the set of halberd skills that Li Xin passed on to him, it is even better than the set of halberd skills that Li Xin passed down to him. It even has the potential to win in some details!
Of course, no matter how high the halberd technique is, it all depends on who uses it.
At Zhao Ying's current level, even with just a casual blow, he is almost unstoppable.
Those who are struck will be broken, and those who are blocked will be destroyed. There is no need for those delicate changes in moves.
However, good is really good, and Zhao Ying does not need to deliberately belittle it.
"I would like to have a glimpse of His Highness..."
Xiang Yu, whose arms had softened a little, looked stubbornly at Zhao Ying, who had already walked up to him.
He already knew that he was no match for the emperor's eldest grandson, so he wanted to know whether his halberd technique, which was astonishing to all gods and ghosts, could be better than the emperor's eldest grandson.
"good--"
Zhao Ying smiled and nodded, stretched out a hand and pulled the halberd casually.
Immediately, a cold light appeared everywhere, and it was different from when Xiang Yu used it just now. This long halberd, which weighed more than 500 kilograms, was as light as nothing in Zhao Ying's hands, like a river bursting its banks, like a raging sea wave, interpreting speed and power. incisively and vividly.
This set of halberd techniques eliminates almost all the fine skills, leaving only the fierce and domineering, powerful and unstoppable courage!
Xiang Yu couldn't help but feel shocked at the sight.
This is the way a man should use his halberd!
Compared with other people's halberd techniques, the halberd technique I just performed looked like a girl.
I don't know if it was because Xiang Yu, the enemy he once looked up to and feared, was at the scene. Today, Zhao Ying performed this set of halberd techniques more vigorously. In the end, he just felt so comfortable that he couldn't help but scream. Howl.
The halberd in his hand shook and shot out.
Rumble——
The Tianlong city-breaking halberd was nailed straight to the rockery more than ten meters away. The tip of the halberd penetrated the stone for half a foot, and dust flew up. The rockery was almost destroyed on the spot.
With this power, even though Fan Kuai and others had seen their general's heroic appearance on the battlefield many times, they still couldn't help but be swayed and cheered loudly.
Zhao Ying smiled and patted the non-existent soil on his hands easily.
"After all, this Tianlong Breaking City Halberd is a bit too light and a bit awkward to use. It seems that I will have to ask Ou Yeque to help me build another one later—"
Xiang Yu:......
My whole body was numb.
After saying that, Zhao Ying seemed to suddenly remember, and looked at Xiang Yu apologetically.
"I'm sorry, I just forgot that you wanted to spar with me..."
Having said this, he asked Xiang Yu's opinion very politely.
"Look, how about we try..."
Xiang Yu:......
After holding it in for a long time, I finally managed to say something.
"No need, Xiang is willing to give in..."
Zhao Ying smiled when he heard this, nodded with a relaxed expression, and stretched out his palm to pat Xiang Yu's shoulder.
"Don't be discouraged, you are actually very powerful..."
Fan Kuai and others couldn't help but nod their heads.
"Yes, little brother Xiang has great skills!"
Xiang Yu:......
For some reason, he suddenly wanted to push this rough-looking man to the ground and beat him hard.
"How about it? Now tell me how you plan to choose. With your skills, you can just stay and be a halberd wielder by my side..."
What a true halberd wielder.
Zhao Ying was really tempted. It would be a great advantage to find such a person to follow him and carry weapons for him.
When necessary, he can even be released to act as his little brother and help him kill people.
Xiang Yu:......
"A scholar can be killed but not humiliated!"
Xiang Yu twisted his neck and closed his eyes.
If your skills are not as good as others, you will have no regrets even if you die!
Seeing this guy's posture ready to be killed, Zhao Ying couldn't help but reveal a smile on his lips.
"I advise you, it is best not to be ignorant of praise. You, Xiang Liang, uncle and nephew, colluded with the county guard in Kuaiji County to support bandits, and have evil intentions. They will not be punished..."
Having said this, Zhao Ying glanced at Xiang Yu who refused to bow his head and said calmly.
"If you don't know how to praise me, you will rush to Kuaiji today to annihilate the Xiang family. This little brother, you don't want anything to happen to your family..."
Xiang Yu:......
"you--"
Zhao Ying looked at him calmly, and his voice had a hint of coldness.
"This general cherishes talents, but he is not stingy about killing people and exterminating clans. I am recruiting you to surrender today because I see that you are still a good talent. I specially give you the grace of the Xiang family, not that you must..."
Xiang Yu:......
He is not afraid of death, but he is unwilling to have his uncle who raised him personally and the family behind him suffer disaster because of his choices.
He knew that the emperor's eldest grandson in front of him was not joking.
Now that he knows about the small actions behind his family, it is almost inevitable to send troops to exterminate them.
With this terrifying force, who in his family can resist?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but slowly lowered his head, and bowed before Zhao Ying with some frustration.
"I am not talented, but I am willing to follow His Royal Highness, the eldest grandson of the Emperor, to lead a horse and become a halberd-wielding man!"
Zhao Ying looked at Xiang Yu kneeling in front of him and couldn't help laughing.
"Okay! A man who knows the current affairs is a hero. From now on, you will be my halberd man - don't worry, as long as you are loyal to my Da Qin and don't play any tricks, and your uncle is not stupid enough to rebel, I will protect you. The Xiang family is safe and sound, and I can guarantee you a bright future!"
Now that everyone has recognized his master, Xiang Yu no longer has so many entanglements in his heart.
"Thank you, Your Highness, for your support!"
Recruiting Xiang Yu brought him a hundred times more pleasure than recruiting Han Xin or even Liu Bang. After all, this was the man he regarded as his idol in his previous life.
This man even made it difficult for him to sleep or eat where he traveled, and he did not dare to relax even a little bit.
Now, he has become his own sword bearer.
Zhao Ying asked Fan Kuai to go down and arrange accommodation for Xiang Yu, while he himself walked to the kitchen happily with his hands behind his back.
If you're in a good mood, cook it yourself and prepare a few side dishes to celebrate!
When they arrived at the kitchen, they saw Wang Nan taking Li Shu with him to select the leeks himself. The two people squatted in front of the tables, bowing their heads and bending over. Two thrilling arcs were outlined under their black robes.
He never had any doubts about his wife's figure, but he was quite surprised by Li Shu's figure. He didn't expect that Li Shu, who was as cold as an iceberg all day long and didn't seem to have a very conspicuous figure, could be so good.
Don't look at anything inappropriate.
Zhao Ying coughed lightly and forcibly retracted his gaze.
Hearing Zhao Ying's voice, the two people's chatter and laughter stopped abruptly, especially Li Shu's pretty face became visibly cold. Zhao Ying is also used to this...
He walked over with a smile.
"It turns out Madam and Miss Li are here too——"
"I know you like leek meat dumplings. I thought I had nothing to do anyway, so I came over with Sister Shuer to prepare some for you to try..."
Wang Nan said with a smile.
Zhao Ying was moved and stepped forward to hold her little hand.
"Thank you, madam..."
Wang Nan's pretty face turned red, and she slapped Zhao Ying's big hand away angrily.
"Sister Shu'er is still here..."
Zhao Ying let go of his wife's little hand very naturally, and cupped his hand towards Li Shu with a smile.
"Thank you, Miss Li, for your hard work..."
Li Shu had a cold face and ignored him. Zhao Ying didn't feel embarrassed and squeezed in between the two of them naturally.
"Come, let's go together..."
When a man and a woman work together, work is not tiring, especially when there are two stunning beauties with their own merits, even the work of cooking feels much more relaxed and enjoyable.
What surprised him was that this girl from the Li family, who had a cold face all day long, was actually quite good at cooking.
At the very least, he is much more skilled than his wife.
Watching her concentrate on cooking, she actually has a unique charm.
If it weren't for the fact that in front of his wife, he would have to communicate with Ms. Li about her cooking skills and discuss her cooking skills.
Dinner is a family dinner.
However, Zhao Ying asked Zhang Liang and Han Xin to be summoned, and he originally asked Fan Kuai to be summoned, but Fan Kuai refused to serve and had to squat down below to eat with his brothers in the barracks, so Zhao Ying let him went.
As for Xiang Yu——
He is not qualified yet.
Mi Ji and Wang Nan also attracted Li Shu and Xu Fu.
During this time, Li Xin and Zhao Ying went on an expedition against the Xiongnu and the Yueshi. As a guard, Li Shu lived in the eldest son's house and almost became a part of the family.
Even the younger sister Zhao Xi and the younger brother Zhao Qi called Sister Li one after another, without treating her as an outsider at all.
Xu Fu, on the other hand, was acquainted with her. Although she had always been a guest in the house, she was sweet-tongued and a well-known female fortune teller. She soon became famous in the house, and became friends with Wang Nan and Li Shu became known as sisters.
Of course, Yue Ji and others were also present.
Just sitting there, I felt a little uncomfortable, and I was very careful with whoever I talked to. Zhao Ying didn't say much about this. If they couldn't figure out their own position and couldn't handle the relationship between their mother and Wang Nan, there was nothing he could do.
I can't act as a judge for them at home every day, or maybe I have wronged my grandma or Wang Nan because of them. It is difficult for an upright official to deal with household affairs, so he believed that Auntie——
Ahem, he believed that with Wang Nan's wisdom, he could quickly handle these small problems within the family.
What Zhao Ying didn't expect was that as soon as the meal was ready and before everyone could sit down, an uninvited guest came to the house.
The First Emperor and Hei arrived.
"Big father——"
Zhao Ying stood up to greet him with a look of surprise.
Mi Ji, Wang Nan and others also hurriedly walked out the door and bowed to salute.
"Welcome Your Majesty——"
The First Emperor waved his hand casually, his eyes paused on Han Xin and Zhang Liang for a moment, nodded slightly at them, and then said with a smile.
"I'm just out for a walk, you don't have to be polite..."
He said he was just out for a casual walk, but there was no way he could just walk around and catch someone else's job. Seeing his eldest father glance at the dinner table from time to time, how could Zhao Ying not understand what his eldest father meant?
"Uncle, you and Mr. Hei are here just in time. Nan'er and I, as well as Miss Li Shu, are cooking together today and made some leek meat dumplings. I was thinking of sending them to you to try later. …”
