"Second Master, Lu Zhonglang wants to see you." Butler Wei Mu bowed his hands at the entrance of the courtyard and reported. Wei Teng held a long bamboo tweezer in his hand and pinched a few grass fruits out of the charcoal fire. The air was filled with the fragrance of herbs.
"Oh, you're here so soon?" Xu Ding had already told Xu Chutong the news that Lu Bu might come to ask for a meeting, but he didn't expect that Lu Bu would come early the next morning.
Nodding slightly, Wei Cheng looked at the stone table beside him and said, "Please come here. I won't go to the front hall." Xu Chu on the side heard this and said to Wei Mu, "I will go with you." This huge table In the Wei Mansion, Xu Chu was the only general who could contain Lu Bu. For fear that Lu Bu would cause trouble, Xu Chu felt that he had to keep an eye on him along the way.
Wei Cheng smiled and said nothing, Xu Chu was good at this. Not long after, Lu Bu led two people into the courtyard. When they were at the door, he bowed and clasped his fists.
"Bu, I have met the Commander of the Wei Dynasty." Don't forget that Wei Cheng has an official position. The shepherd guard of this large Bingzhou is also the Mu of Bingzhou. Therefore, it is right for Lu Bu to call Wei Cheng the Commander.
Wei Cheng's official seal had been lost long ago, and he might have sold it to Mu Mu. He didn't have much objection to Lu Bu's little thoughts. He pointed to the futon opposite the stone table and signaled. Lu Bu is casual.
At this time, Wei Cheng was still playing with the grass fruit, which is a versatile herb. It blooms from April to June and bears fruit from September to December. It mainly grows in Yunnan, Guangxi, Guizhou and other provinces and regions in my country. It is cultivated or wild under sparse forests at an altitude of 1100-1800 meters.
The grass fruit in Wei Cheng's hands was collected from a group of merchants from Sichuan and Sichuan. The red fruits are plump and juicy. If they are roasted and processed properly, the medicinal effect will definitely be multiplied several times.
Wei Cheng put the strawberries in a porcelain basin to cool down. When he looked up at Lu Bu, his eyes fell on the face of a person beside Lu Bu.
"Uh, it's you!"
"Humph!" Lu Bu was stunned, and then asked in surprise and joy: "Do you know my Ling'er?" Wei Cheng looked at the woman with eyes like stars, and unconsciously looked at her kneeling legs. , said awkwardly: "We met by chance in the bathhouse yesterday, we can't even say we know each other." Hearing this, Lu Bu looked at his daughter Lu Ling with some disappointment, and saw that she was glaring at Wei Cheng with a sinister look on her pretty face. He couldn't help but shouted angrily: "You girl Why don't you understand any rules?" Lu Ling raised his eyebrows, snorted coldly, and turned away.
When Wei Cheng saw this, he said with a smile: "Brother Lu, there is no need to be embarrassed, just feel free here." Lu Bu knew that he had no way to deal with his precious daughter, so he sighed helplessly, clasped his fists and said, "Let the envoy laugh. "Wei Cheng smiled and nodded, and was greeted by another cold snort.
"Zhongkang has already told me your purpose of coming. The person you are talking about should undoubtedly be Donglai Tai Shici."
"Oh, do you know this person?" Lu Bu's eyes lit up. Wei Cheng casually took a copy of the "Dragon and Tiger List of the Great Han" and put it on the table, and said: "Brother Lu is the top of the Dragon and Tiger List. Don't you know that under you, this big man is also a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger?" Lu Bu looked embarrassed. He took the "Dragon and Tiger List of the Great Han Dynasty" and said: "To be honest with you, since getting Fang Tian's painted halberd, Lu has never failed, so he gradually stopped paying attention to this book." Wei Cheng chuckled and was too lazy to pay attention to him. Versailles, motioning for him to turn to page eight.
I don't know if it was an illusion, but Wei Cheng felt that after he took out the "Big Han Dragon and Tiger List", the coldness on Lu Ling became stronger, and it seemed to be specifically targeted at him.
Wei Cheng only thought it was an illusion, because this girl was now furiously licking a plate of Swiss rolls... Turning to the eighth page, Lu Bu frowned.
"... He is skilled with bows and horses, good at riding and shooting, he can move like the wind, and he can accurately hit prey three hundred steps away in strong winds... Is this too exaggerated? Ordinary strong bows may not be able to shoot three hundred steps. Steps, right?" After reading Tai Shici's introduction, Lu Bu simply didn't believe that there was anyone with such outrageous archery skills in the world.
Wei Cheng smiled and said nothing, reaching out to get his own strawberry, and then took Lu Bu to see what truly powerful archery was.
But when he took the porcelain plate and looked at it, Wei Cheng was stunned.
"Where is my grass fruit?" Lu Ling: "Kachi, kachi..."...Dingjunfang. Wei Cheng was followed by Xu Chu, Lu Bu, Lu Ling and his daughter, as well as a middle-aged man.
Veteran Huang Zhong changed into the uniform of a city guard and was demonstrating how to use an ordinary strong bow to shoot at the ultimate distance of 300 steps.
This is a magical skill that even Huang Xu cannot do. There are many factors that need to be considered. It is impossible to achieve it without extraordinary shooting experience.
Just when everyone was holding their breath and concentrating. Veteran Huang Zhong suddenly shouted loudly, bent his bow and nocked an arrow, and shot the arrow at a 45-degree angle.
The movements are done in one go, without any sloppiness. It is similar to the kind of thing where the bow string is fully drawn and the aim is taken for a long time. You can't see it on the real shooting range. The masters never aim, they just rely on feeling.
The weak will only aim more and more inaccurately. It is already very laborious to draw a truly strong bow. (This is about traditional bows, compound bows can of course be sighted.
) I don’t know if it was an illusion, but the moment Huang Zhong shot the arrow, everyone felt a strong wind blowing from behind.
A look of astonishment flashed in Wei Cheng's eyes, and he probably knew the key to this magical skill. Sure enough, the arrow that flew out seemed to be affected by something, and actually flew parallel in the air for a certain distance, and finally began to fall when it was more than two hundred steps away, and accurately hit the grass target three hundred steps away.
Although he didn't hit the target, his miraculous archery skills were enough to stun everyone present.
Even Lu Bu was so shocked that he couldn't speak. After a while, he exclaimed: "Yes, that's how they died. That's how those people died." Lu Bu reached out and took an arrow. He was nailed to a wooden stake at an angle of almost ninety degrees and said: "Those scouts who were blocked had arrows inserted into their bodies at this angle. At first, I was puzzled, thinking that they were attacked by arrows, but... There are no other arrows left around, so it makes sense now!" Huang Zhong walked over, frowned and said, "If this is the case, then this person's archery skills should be on par with mine, so he is Xu'er. , there is nothing we can do against him, and he may even be killed by him." Wei Cheng was startled when he heard this.
There are probably a few of the most powerful archery masters recorded in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms: Lu Bu, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, and Tai Shi Ci.
Why talk about the four of them alone? First, Lü Bu fired his halberd at the gate, one hundred and fifty steps from a fixed target, and shot through a hole the size of a copper coin's eye.
Furthermore, Zhao Yun was shooting a rope from across the river. There was a strong southeast wind at the time, but Zhao Yun was still able to hit the rope accurately, which shows that he was an expert in archery.
Then came Taishi Ci and Huang Zhong, both of whom shot at people. Taishi Ci said at the city gate that he would shoot the enemy general's left hand, so he actually shot the enemy general's left hand and nailed the man's hand to the wall so that he could not move.
This can no longer be described as simply powerful. It is simply like a man and a bow uniting into one, and arrows can be fired at will.
Where is Huang Zhong. That's awesome, what he shot was Guan Yu... the root of the tassel on his head. Root! This thing is probably as thin as the eye of a copper coin.
Moreover, it was still worn on Guan Yu's head. With Guan Yu's reaction ability, it was easy to dodge ordinary arrows, but Huang Zhong shot his helmet off.
The most important thing is that Guan Yu was chasing Huang Zhong at that time, and both of them were galloping on fast horses! Of course, this does not mean that Huang Zhong must be the most powerful, but for a man in his seventies to still show such powerful archery skills in his old age, he must be in his prime at this time and his archery skills should be even more impressive. right.
However, Huang Zhong said that Tai Shici's archery skills were on par with his. At this time, Tai Shici was probably about the same age as Wei Cheng. At the age of twenty-five or six, there was still a lot of room for growth.
This couldn't help but give Wei Cheng a hint of love for talent, because in his plan, the future city guards will focus more on shooting ability.
Everyone who understands understands. Moreover, Taishi Ci worked under Kong Rong mainly to repay his kindness, not to follow him wholeheartedly. Later, he followed Sun Ce.
Since Sun Ce can gain his favor, there is no reason why he can't. When Wei Cheng thought of this, he couldn't help but look at Huang Zhong.
If Huang Zhong can crush Taishi Ci and make Taishi Ci unconvinced, hey hey hey... Wei Cheng has already hatched a plan.
"Han Sheng, don't underestimate yourself. The fact that you can reproduce his magical skills and hit with one shot proves that your archery skills are superior to his." Wei Cheng said with a smile.
Huang Zhong was not humble when he heard this. He puffed up his chest proudly and smiled. Veteran Huang Zhong is still very happy to be recognized by others.
Moreover, Wei Cheng was right. He had not practiced this skill before. He just relied on his own feeling to shoot an arrow. He was sure that with a few more arrows, he would be able to hit the red heart.
"Brother Lu, I have a suggestion." Wei Cheng looked at Lu Bu with a smile. He didn't know what conspiracy was brewing under his calm face, which made Lu Bu not treat it cautiously.
"Your Majesty, please tell me." Wei Cheng chuckled and said, "I can help you capture this person, but how about you just leave it alone?"
"What does your Majesty mean?" Lu Bu was puzzled. Wei Cheng said bluntly: "That's right, you just go back to Luoyang to recover, and this person will be handed over to me." As soon as Wei Cheng finished speaking, Lu Ling on the side said in a deep voice: "No, he killed so many of us, we must let him Pay with your life." Lu Bu was not stupid. After being pointed out by his daughter, he immediately realized that Wei Cheng was trying to recruit him.
Thinking of this, Lu Bu's face darkened, he looked directly at Wei Cheng and said, "I don't know what you know. That thief killed dozens of my people under my nose. If he is not executed in public, what will happen to Lu?" Can you talk about prestige?" Wei Cheng frowned slightly and responded coldly: "In that case, then forgive Wei for his incompetence."
"Hmph, do you want to help me?"
"Ling'er, please don't be rude!" Lu Bu helplessly rubbed his eyebrows and frowned and said, "Does the commander have to recruit him? The commander already has Brother Han Sheng, an expert archer, so why bother looking for that thief again? Where are you?" Lu Bu looked straight, but in fact there were still many twists and turns. Hearing what he said, Wei Cheng felt embarrassed.
Glancing at Huang Zhong next to him, Wei Cheng glared at Lu Bu angrily and said, "Brother Lu, it makes sense to say that. One person from the Han Dynasty can be worth thousands of horses and thousands of troops. The likes of Taishi Ci are indeed dispensable. ." When Huang Zhong heard this, he felt comforted in his heart. He raised his head and chest proudly, his eyes twinkling. When he meets Bole in his old age, he should drink a big white wine.
Having said that, Wei Cheng still had no intention of recruiting Tai Shici, but he had a plan in mind.
···On the carriage entering the city. Lu Bu looked at his daughter in confusion, frowned and asked, "Why did you rush into Wei Zhongdao several times?" Lu Ling bit her thin lips and snorted coldly.
Lu Bu said in a deep voice: "Even if he has offended you, you should tell your father and let him vent your anger for you. If you embarrass him in person like this, you not only hate him, but you may also ruin your father's plan. Why are you doing it?" Lu Ling turned back to look at Lu Bu, and after looking at it for a long time, he took out a copy of "The Great Han Dragon and Tiger List"...
"What are you doing?" Lu Bu said in surprise. He didn't know that his daughter could read this book. Lu Ling's pretty face flushed slightly, and she said angrily: "Then go and ask him, why are all the hundred strong men on this big Han's Dragon and Tiger Ranking list men, and why is there not a single woman on them?" Lu Bu was stunned.
Lu Ling continued to say indignantly: "Why, he is allowed to look down on us women, but I can't show his shame? In the Han Dynasty, men and women were equally divided, so why should you men get all the benefits?"
"Are you angry with him because of this?" Lu Bu laughed angrily. Lu Ling opened the "Big Han Dragon and Tiger Ranking" to the ranking page, pointed at a man ranked seventy-nine, and said angrily: "This Chen Xiong, I defeated him in three rounds... "Opened another page,
"This Zhao Gu fought with me for thirty rounds and was kicked several feet away by me... And this Liu Sandao..." The more Lu Bu listened, the darker his face became.
"You girl, you are out of love every day, just to challenge these people?" Lu Ling raised his head stubbornly, stared back, and argued: "What, is it that they are not strong enough and I can't challenge them?" Lu Buchen He said, "Who took you there?"
"I, I am alone..." A rare trace of panic appeared in Lu Lingxing's eyes. Lu Bu shouted in a deep voice: "Is it Zhang Wenyuan?" Lu Ling remained silent.
When Lu Bu saw this, he was so angry that he almost slapped him in the face.
"How many times have I told you, don't get too close to Zhang Wenyuan. He is Dong Zhuo's spy planted by my father. Sooner or later, he will do something bad."
"Brother Zhang is not that kind of person!" Lu Ling retorted excitedly.
"You." Lu Bu's big hand was fixed in the air, but he couldn't bear to let it go. If he hadn't been so doting on her, Lu Ling wouldn't have developed an unscrupulous temperament.
"Forget it, from now on, you will live in Anyi and don't go anywhere."
"Why?" Lu Bu sighed and said quietly: "Just because this is the safest place in the world, if you live here, your father will have one less thing to worry about, and you can act more calmly." Although Lu Ling was arrogant, He is domineering, but he also knows that Lu Bu's current situation is not very good.
He hesitated for a while. In the end, she agreed to her father's arrangement. Although she argued with her father every day, she knew that her daughter was the one he loved most in his heart.
