Nan Jiyun handed the bow back to He Qianqian. Unexpectedly, He Qianqian took a step back, put his right hand on his chest and bowed respectfully without reaching out to take the bow.
Yin Ziqi said to Nan Jiyun: "He Er's Chinese is not good. What he meant was to ask Nan Ba to keep this bow. Heroes are the most important thing to ridicule. It is said that accuracy is more important than speed in bowing. Nan Bafu made a new bow. After drawing the bow twice, you will have a clear understanding of the nature of the bow. Such accuracy shows that you are familiar with the art of bowing and you should be the master of this bow."
Nan Jiyun borrowed the bow from He Qianqian. It was because he saw An Qingxu's arrogance, solemn and eloquent words that he wanted to suppress Lu Jun's arrogance. He didn't expect He Qianqian to feel sorry for each other, so he wanted to use the bow. As a gift, he was a good man who was willing to accept soft things rather than tough ones. He couldn't help but feel embarrassed when he heard this, and said hurriedly: "No, no, when Nanyun borrowed the bow, he just thought it was an ordinary horn bow. He knew it was a bow as soon as he opened it. A good bow, how can it be so good..."
Yin Ziqi pretended to be angry and said: "Nan Ba, do you think we are being stingy and frivolous? If it is not a good bow, we will not give it to our friends. This bow is an iron bow. Not to mention a divine weapon, it can also be called a treasure bow."
Cheng Ang became curious and weighed the bow in Nan Ba's hand, then handed it back to him and said, "It's too light. It doesn't look like it's made of iron."
Yin Ziqi smiled and said: "The iron-tied bow is not made of iron. It is made of thin slices of mulberry wood glued layer by layer with fish glue. Because of its hardness, the bow string sounds like gold and iron, so it is called the iron-tied bow."
Nan Jiyun had just drawn the bow but it was not full. Hearing this, he tried to pull the bow to a full moon, held it for a moment and then released the bow string. However, he heard a very clear clang sound, and then the bow string vibrated continuously and made a buzzing sound. The sound of gold and iron lasted for a long time, and it turned out to be a treasure bow. I couldn't help but shout "Hello".
Yin Ziqi added: "This bow is rare because it was not produced in the Han area, but was made by the archmaster of the Tubo Kingdom in the southwest of the Tang Dynasty. Nanba, do you think this bow is much larger than the ordinary horn bow? The Tubo people are kind. The hard bow is made because the yak is a specialty of Tubo. The body of the yak is much larger than that of the Central Plains cattle, and its horns are also longer. This bow is made from a pair of complete yak horns, so it is much larger than the ordinary horn bow. .”
Nan Jiyun took a closer look at this horn bow. It was indeed much longer than ordinary horn bows. He was good at using bows and naturally knew that the longer the bow, the more powerful it would be. The long bow used by the Tang army's infantry was almost as tall as a man, but the cavalry on horseback If you use a long bow, you will inevitably have some problems, so you use tendons to make the bow, and stick the horns on the top to increase the strength of the bow body to make up for the lack of length. Generally, horn bows are limited by the length of the horns and are not very long. Although the length of the bow in Nan Jiyun's hand is far less than that of the long bow used by the Tang army's infantry, it is more than two feet longer than the ordinary horn bow. Considering He Qiansheng's growth, he should be able to use this bow on horseback. No problem, Nan Jiyun is not a general on horseback. No matter on the boat or on the land, although this bow is long, it will not hinder his use.
Yin Ziqi continued: "There is another advantage of the Tubo bow. The land of Tubo is dry and bitter, and the beef tendons made there are the toughest. The more they are used, the tighter they are. The bow string can always be pressed firmly on the bow body without any slack. The danger."
When Nan Jiyun heard this, he couldn't help but draw the bow a few more times. Sure enough, every time he released the string, it was full of force. He was already good at shooting, so when he saw such a good bow, he couldn't help but like it and couldn't help stroking it. Bow down.
Yin Ziqi laughed loudly and said: "Nan Ba, since you like it, then accept it. Don't refuse."
Nan Jiyun said to He Qianqian: "However, this bow belongs to Brother He. How can I..."
He Qianqian didn't say anything. He took off the tiger skin bag hanging on his waist and handed it to Nan Jiyun along with the ten white feather arrows inside.
Yin Ziqi laughed loudly and said: "This little brother of mine is not good at words and can't speak Chinese well, but he loves heroes no less than the Han heroes. I hope Nanba will not refute his kind words." .”
Nan Jiyun saw that it was not good and refused again. He thanked them with fists and accepted He Qianqian's bow and arrow.
Yan Zhuang also came up and said with a smile: "General Yin and Brother Nan cherish each other, and today's gift of the bow will definitely become a good talk."
Nan Jiyun was indescribably disgusted with Yan Zhuang, but he had just collected He Qianzhuan's iron-tied bow, so naturally it was not easy for him to get angry, so he had to laugh and retreat, not wanting to tangle with Yan Zhuang any more.
Yan Zhuang turned to the stage and clasped his fists and said, "Mr. Ruxiang, the first thing today has been successfully solved, can we talk about the second thing?"
As he spoke, Yan Zhuang seemed to have become the "Xi Jiu" at the banquet, guiding everyone step by step with his words. Li Yong felt more and more that he seemed to have some conspiracy waiting in front of him, but although Yan Zhuang was annoying, his speech was stuck. But the point was extremely accurate, and he couldn't refute it, so he had to say: "Yes, the second thing Yong wants to announce is the matter of the leader of the Jianghu Alliance. Yong is old and weak, and once said that the throne will be passed to the person who killed the black dragon. Everyone present witnessed it. However, in the battle of Hanshui that day, there was a brawl. Everyone seriously injured the black dragon. However, the death of the black dragon cannot be attributed to one person. Yong never wants to occupy this position again. Please tell me about this alliance leader. To whom should the treasure be passed down?”
The Tiele man took the lead and said, "Huai'en is in Shuofang's army and a foreigner. He will definitely not be able to receive this treasure."
Nan Jiyun also said: "Nan is just a boatman and has no ability to command the heroes. He cannot accept this treasure."
Master Ge also spoke up: "The Dugu family makes a living by making musical instruments. There are so many mouths in the village who need to eat. Besides, my wife has been ill for many years. Ge is really helpless."
Cheng Angqi said: "Hey... you don't want it? How about giving it to me, old Cheng, to play with for a few days?"
All the tycoons in the audience burst out laughing, thinking that this old Cheng was really the reincarnation of the devil, and he was meddling in everything.
Li Yong was not angry with him and asked: "Mr. Cheng, what are you going to do after playing with it for a few days?"
Cheng Ang said: "When I, old Cheng, finish playing, then I can give it to whoever wants it."
Li Yong said: "But that's not possible. This matter is not a child's play. I gave it to you today, so I can't give it up easily..."
Cheng Ang hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Then I don't want it."
Everyone burst into laughter again. Everyone knew that there was no chance that Li Yong could succeed Cheng Ang. Pu Guhuai'en was a foreigner and not a son of the world. Nan Jiyun was still young and could not command the heroes in the world. However, Master Ge was thoughtful, steady and solid. , had already vaguely wanted to lead the heroes on the Jiangnan Green Forest Road. Looking at the situation, everyone thought that the treasure of the world would definitely fall into the possession of the owner of the villa. They just had to give in a few times.
Yan Zhuang suddenly said again: "Mr. Xiang, outsiders like Zhuang and others should not comment on the affairs of the Jianghu. However, Mr. Xiang said that four people seriously injured the black dragon, but no one killed the black dragon. Isn't it unreasonable?"
Cheng Ang raised his beard and glared: "This Yan Sheng talks a lot. Since you said you shouldn't talk about it, then shut your mouth."
Yan Zhuang was not annoyed and said: "Hey... Cheng Lang's words are wrong. Everyone in the world speaks the same truth. Zhuang is just curious. Did the black dragon die after being severely injured?"
Cheng Ang said: "That's right, you haven't heard of a serious injury and death? The black dragon is seriously injured, and it is in a remote wilderness. It can't find a doctor to treat it, so it will die."
Yan Zhuang said: "Since the black dragon was seriously injured, why did no hero step forward to kill it, but had to wait for it to die? Could it be that the black dragon escaped after being injured?"
Cheng Ang pointed at Yan Zhuang and said: "Yes, yes... Yan Sheng, you are so smart that you escaped. You don't know that this black dragon can swim very fast in the river... I will chase him ten miles away." I saw it lying dead on the sandbank in the middle of the river."
Yan Zhuang said: "It's late autumn, and the reeds are in full bloom on both sides of the Han River. Since this old dragon escaped, why didn't he hide in the reeds to recuperate, but he had to lie down on the sandbank and wait for death?"
Cheng Ang said: "When did I tell you that it was waiting to die on the sandbank? After the old dragon was seriously injured, it just rushed and rushed onto the sandbank. The gravel was so rough that it hurt it to death."
Yan Zhuang said: "But Zhuang looked carefully and saw that there were no scratch marks on the dragon's belly, but there was a six or seven-inch knife edge. What explanation can be given?"
He pointed at the dragon skin on the shelf with two halberd-like fingers, and everyone followed his fingers to look at the white plastron. Previously, all the heroes were attracted by Lei Qingzang and only focused on the center of the leather. Now they saw the plastron as expected. There was a neat cut on the right side, which was quite different from the naturally curved edge on the left side, and those who wanted to do something good began to discuss it privately.
Cheng Ang was still about to argue, and said: "Yes... yes..." Even after saying a few words of "yes", he couldn't hold back the words. Li Yong stopped him with his hand, looked at Yan Zhuang and said with a smile: "It seems that Yan Zhuang Life comes prepared."
Yan Zhuang quickly crossed his hands and said, "I don't dare, I don't dare."
Li Yong stopped looking at him and said loudly to the crowd in the audience: "Everyone, the dragon slayer is indeed someone else, but he is not a member of the Jianghu. By mistake, he has done great harm to the people."
The group of heroes were confused and the discussion became louder. Li Yong summoned Jiang Shuo with his skillful hand and said, "Tong'er, come up."
Jiang Shuo was shocked. Although he knew that the black dragon died in the end by his own hands, he never thought that it was his own fault. As Li Yong said, it was just a mistake. He just saw the three of them giving in to each other. Lao Cheng's jokes there were only amusing, and Yan Zhuang's aggressive tone was annoying, but he never expected that it would be related to him in the end. Now that Li Yong actually asked him to come on stage, it was really unexpected, and he couldn't help but feel sorry for him. He looked around to see if there was anyone else Li Yong called.
Xiang'er pushed him and said with a smile: "Don't look, there are only two children, you and me, in such a big cave. Is it difficult to call you or me?"
Jiang Shuo looked up at Li Yong blankly, and when he saw the old man nodding kindly to him, he immediately walked forward timidly. The two children were already crowded in the front row, not far from the stage entrance. Jiang Shuo took a few steps forward. Nan Jiyun came up from behind and put his hands under his sides. Jiang Shuo's feet were in the air, as if he were stepping on auspicious clouds. Stand firmly on the stage.
After getting on the stage, Jiang Shuo walked a few steps in confusion and arrived at Li Yong's side. Li Yong stroked his little head, pressed his shoulder with his right hand and said: "Everyone, finally in the middle of the Han River It was this kid who killed the black dragon on the sandbank."
