Chapter 3 I Can Open Nine Crossbow
Two hours later, Chen Fei got tired of playing with his phone and then prepared to lie on the bed to rest. However, there was a whirring sound from outside, and something was obviously happening.
"Go!" "Go, let me go!"...
Obviously, a group of soldiers tied up a group of people in military uniforms, and then pulled them into the barracks for everyone to gather together to see. Chen Fei saw those tied up, and they were the soldiers who said they were going to Chunxianglou, that is, those who Zhu Chunlin took those soldiers to have fun. But now they were tied up, and it was obviously necessary to deal with them in front of everyone, which surprised Chen Fei a little.
"What's going on?" Chen Fei asked.
"Chen joined the army, General Chang Zhonglang just ordered that these people who ruined our army's reputation be beaten to publicly. They actually wore military uniforms and were walking around the Qing Building outside, which seriously damaged the reputation of our Tang army. In particular, they were still the guards of the palace, and they were even more tied to the emperor's majesty, so General Chang Zhonglang ordered us to tie them up and beat military sticks in public to serve as a warning to others." The soldier in charge of military law said.
After hearing this, Chen Fei immediately felt a little bad. These guys were actually wearing military uniforms to visit Qinglou. Isn’t this arbitrary? However, now that they fell into the hands of General Chang Zhonglang, this one was obviously destined to be beaten with a military stick. Chen Fei was also a little hesitant. He and Zhu Chunlin were friends, one of the few people Chen Fei could talk about in this left-level guard. Now he was arrested to beat a military stick. This was obviously helpless. General Chang He of the Central Guard of the Central Guard was the general responsible for guarding the Xuanwu Gate of the North Gate of Taiji Palace, but a high-ranking official under the fourth rank. Chen Fei, a sesame official under the eighth rank, was a dozen levels away from him, and the gap was much larger. Chen Fei, the official in charge of equipment, had a low status among the left-level guards and had no say!
But he was so desperate that Zhu Chunlin actually started shouting when he saw Chen Fei.
"Chen Fei joins the army, save me!" Zhu Chunlin shouted.
Chen Fei had greeted all the women of Zhu Chunlin's ancestors in his heart. This guy actually called himself to save him at this time. Didn't this pull Chen Fei into the water? What's even more unlucky is that Zhu Chunlin's shouting was heard by the Central Secretary Chang He.
"You asked for love?" Chang He asked.
Chen Fei cursed in his heart: "When did I ask for love?"
But at this time, Chen Fei could only bite the bullet and say, "General Chang Zhonglang, I think that according to the rules, soldiers who violated the military law must be reviewed by the Chief Secretary and then handed over to the General for personal review, right? General Chang Zhonglang, it seems that you don't quite comply with the rules!"
Of course, Chen Fei knew that these guys were wearing military uniforms and going to visit Qinglou, which would definitely violate military law and corrupt the reputation of the army. Although there were many such things in military officers and soldiers going to visit Qinglou, but if you went to visit Qinglou, which would be wrong with you. This would ruin the reputation of the army, especially if you were the emperor's palace guard, which was even more embarrassing. Therefore, it is reasonable and legal to deal with Zhu Chunlin and the others. However, Chen Fei is now forced to plead for Zhu Chunlin and the others, so he can only use the so-called non-compliance with the rules as a reason, otherwise Chen Fei really didn't know what reason to delay. Such a violation of military law can only be delayed and cannot plead directly. Otherwise, even Chen Fei himself would be implicated.
"Hmph, I think someone is covering him, so that he can have the courage to wear military uniforms to Qinglou. It turns out that you, a sour scholar, are covering him. OK! You have a genius to make a name for you. Since you want to plead for them, I will give you a face. However, you have to pull this bow until the full moon first! As long as you can pull this bow until the full moon, I can let them go!" Chang He pulled out a bow and threw it in front of Chen Fei.
When everyone looked at Chang He, they felt speechless. This bow was two stone bows. If we used later generations to describe it, it would be 240 kilograms of pulling force. Chang He actually asked a civil servant to pull such two stone bows, which was obviously a difficult situation for Chen Fei. According to the military standards, being able to pull one stone bow to a full moon state is already an elite archer. And these soldiers who can pull one stone bow are enough to enter the palace guards. Being able to pull two stone bows has reached the standard of the general. Even the famous generals of the Tang Dynasty, Qin Qiongcheng Yaojin and others, can only pull two stone bows. Now Chang He lets a literati pull two stone bows. Isn’t this a forceful person?
Everyone also saw that Chang He was deliberately making things difficult for Chen Fei, but in fact he didn't want to let go of these soldiers who violated the military law. Of course, although according to the normal process, they would also be punished. But now Chang He wants to establish his prestige and show his identity as a general, so he emphasizes military law so much. He asked Chen Fei to pull two stone bows, but in fact he wanted Chen Fei to make a fool of himself in front of everyone, so that these military officers could see that Chen Fei, a literati, would draw two stone bows.
Chen Fei also showed bitterness on his face. Although Chen Fei was a soldier, he did not even get any normal training for soldiers. However, it was still a bit difficult for him to pull two stone bows. Being able to pull two stone bows was enough to become a brave general in ancient times.
However, as a man, he can't lose face without losing anything, and Chen Fei immediately came up with a solution.
"Two stone bows are nothing. If I were asked to prepare for a few days, I would not be able to pull the nine stone bows!" Chen Fei said.
"What? I heard it right?" "Yes! Chen Chanjun actually said that he could pull the nine stone bow?" "My goodness, he thought he was Xiang Yu or Lu Bu!" "A literati actually said that he could pull the nine stone bow. Isn't this a fool?"...
The soldiers and officers around him didn't believe it, and Chang He was also surprised.
"You said you can pull the nine stone bow?" Chang He asked.
"Yes, just give me a few days, I can pull the nine stone bow!" Chen Fei said.
Chang He immediately said, "Okay! I will write down these guys' military sticks first. I don't have to be polite, I will give you ten days. Ten days later, that is, my Tang Dynasty Imperial Guard Colonel, if you have the ability, you will show off your ability to pull the Jiushigong in our schoolyard! No matter what method you use, as long as you can pull the Jiushigong, I will not only plead with the general for them, but I will also be willing to become sworn brothers with you and recognize you as your eldest brother!"
