Li Chengqian pursed his lips and took the short bow from his father's hand.
His father has always been the strictest to him. No matter what he does, he must be better than other children, otherwise he will be severely scolded!
Because of this, from the moment he was named, an invisible pressure shrouded his head.
"Hurry up!" Li Shimin frowned slightly and urged.
Li Chengqian put on the small arrow and pulled the bow sharply, and his small hands suddenly started to tremble!
Too heavy!
He gritted his teeth and tried his best to control the bow, and his hands were shaking even more.
The next second.
puff!
The arrow flew out from the bow, shot straight down, and fell upside down not far away.
Li Chengqian dropped his hands, pursed his lips again, lowered his head and said nothing.
And Li Shimin's face was already a little ugly.
"What are you doing?!"
he rebuked,
"You can't control such a small bow stably. Didn't you eat today?"
"Come again!"
Under the pressure of his father, Li Chengqian had no choice but to draw the bow again.
But the pull just now had already dissipated most of his strength, and this second arrow was even more unbearable.
The bow was only half drawn, and the arrows were already flying out, and it fell to the ground.
At this time, Li Chengqian was almost crying.
Li Shimin's face was already filled with anger.
"Father, let me try!"
Li Ke suddenly said.
"Okay, come here and show it to your brother!" Li Shimin snorted coldly and gave the bow to Li Ke.
But he saw Li Ke take a deep breath, recalling the key points his father had just said in his mind, stand firm, and draw the bowstring.
However, there is always a gap between what we think and what we do in practice.
As soon as he pulled, he knew that his strength was not enough to pull the short bow open, and his right hand started to tremble violently like Li Chengqian just now!
call out!
Li Ke gritted his teeth and the arrow flew out!
The flying posture was naturally terrible, and the final landing point was almost the same as Li Chengqian's first arrow.
"Father, I can't do it..."
Li Ke said a little ashamed.
However, Li Shimin's expression softened.
"It's your first time shooting an arrow. It's already pretty good to be able to do this."
He comforted,
"Your breathing and steps are both correct. In terms of posture, you are much better than Cheng Qian!"
"The more you practice your strength, my father will believe that you will be able to control this bow!"
When Li Ke heard these words of comfort, the disappointment in his heart suddenly disappeared.
"Yeah!" He grinned at Li Shimin with a bright smile.
As if being infected by his smile, the anger in Li Shimin's heart dissipated a bit. He touched Li Ke's head and smiled.
Li Chengqian looked at them, and a strong depression surged into his heart, almost blocking his whole heart.
Why...
Li Ke obviously did the same thing as me. Why could he get praise from his father, but he could only be scolded?
Am I so disliked by my father and so bad in his eyes...
The sun was shining brightly, but Li Chengqian felt that his world was gray.
"Qingque, come and try too."
Li Shimin didn't notice the imbalance in Li Chengqian's mentality. He focused on Li Tai and encouraged him.
Li Tai carefully took the short bow.
The result was, of course, very different from that of his two older brothers.
But because he is stronger and stronger than his two brothers, he can control the short bow very steadily, and the arrow's flight posture is naturally slightly better.
Bang bang bang!
Li Shimin applauded and praised:
"Okay Qingque! Well done!"
"Although you are a younger brother, you do better than my two elder brothers. You are worthy of being my son, Li Shimin!"
He glanced at Li Chengqian and urged:
"Cheng Qian, have you seen that Qing Que, who is younger than you, is doing better than you! As the eldest brother, don't you feel ashamed?"
Li Chengqian lowered his head and hummed softly.
He looked at the ground, thinking how nice it would be if there was a crack in the ground for him to get into?
This way, you don’t have to be scolded by your father, and you don’t have to be forced to do this or that...
Seeing that he lowered his head and said nothing, Li Shimin didn't take it seriously. Looking at the twisted arrows, he couldn't help but sigh.
"Hey! You are not strong enough yet. It seems that it is too early to teach you shooting skills. Eat more and you will gain strength in two years!"
He said,
"There is no need to practice now. Next, my father will give you a real hunter enlightenment!"
With that said, Li Shimin took out the dagger.
"Our Li family is built on martial arts! At that time, my father's great-grandfather relied on his strong martial arts to fight in blood and fire and became one of the eight pillar states of the Western Wei Dynasty!"
Li Er raised his dagger and said loudly,
"It was also from that time that our Li family's military fortunes continued to prosper! Until your father, I, became the Marshal of the Army, commanded the Tang Army in the world, and destroyed countless warlords who rebelled against the king, allowing your grandpa to succeed in conquering the world. Become the supreme emperor!"
Although these words may sound like boasting, they are not exaggerated!
The world of the Li family is indeed dominated by Li Shimin and enjoyed by Li Yuan!
The three children all stared at their majestic father with wide eyes.
"The foundation for becoming an excellent general is to first become a qualified hunter."
Li Shimin said in a deep voice,
"Facing life and death, don't be afraid of danger!"
"And to do this, we have to be on the front foot!"
He set his eyes on Li Chengqian, but then turned to Li Ke.
"Ke'er, go!"
Li Shimin ordered,
"Go kill that chicken in the paddock."
He handed the dagger into Li Ke's hand.
Li Ke: "..."
Holding the cold and heavy dagger in his hand, Li Ke looked at the free-range chickens in the pen and felt troubled for a moment.
He didn't dare.
"Go! Set an example for them!" Li Shimin urged.
Li Ke was forced by him, gritted his teeth, turned his heart, and turned over into the fence.
"ah!!!"
Holding the dagger in both hands, he shouted and rushed towards the rooster.
Stab!
The dagger pierced the rooster's wing, causing the chicken to flap violently!
"Grrrr! Grrrr!"
The rooster flew up and down, its wings flapped wildly, and a lot of feathers fell off!
It chased Li Ke, its enemy, and made a fuss, causing Li Ke to run away in embarrassment. He ran around in the paddock to avoid the rooster's pursuit.
All of a sudden, the cries of chickens and ducks, and Li Ke's screams came one after another, it was a real commotion!
"Hahaha!"
Li Shimin laughed and waved,
"Okay, okay, come out, Ke'er, let's see what you're causing trouble!"
Li Ke got the order and hurriedly got out of the fence.
He looked at the rooster that was still glaring at him across the fence with lingering fear, and breathed a sigh of relief with lingering fear.
So scary...
I was almost knocked over by it!
"Although you failed, you dared to stab, that's good!"
Li Shimin praised. Turning to look at Li Tai.
"Qingque, it's your turn."
He handed the dagger to Li Tai and ordered,
"Go and kill one! Ke'er failed, you'd better succeed as a father!"
