Chapter two hundred and eighty seventh: than arrows

(To make a statement, the search for Tang is a subversive, not based on the official history of the Tang Dynasty, but just borrowed a little background from the time. In fact, in some of the earliest chapters, I have already reminded that Wu Zetian is gone, Shangguan Wan'er is gone, Li Shimin has not become emperor, etc., and even the mountains and rivers have changed a little. Please read it as a brand new story, otherwise Zhang Fei will fight Yue Fei, Guan Yu and Qin Qiong will appear. In the future, I will try not to choose the names that everyone knows, so as not to get out of the show.)

Just as he was about to reprimand Li Hai, Li Ze laughed and said, "Changping is good at the northern part of the world. Although he has a very famous reputation, he has never compared with the heroes of the world. Shen Ce Army and the pillar of the country. General Li is even the best. If you can ask General Li for advice, you will be happy to defeat and be happy. It is not impossible to make friends with martial arts. Your Highness, what do you think?"

After his own command challenged, the other party responded with gaze. What else could Li Xin say? He could only say: "Click until you stop, click until you stop."

"In comparison with archery, it is not a killing method in the hand and blade. Your Highness is too worried." Li Ze smiled and said, "Please give a question, but Changping came here today and did not carry a bow and arrow. He also asked the military commander to prepare a pair of bows."

"It's all right!" Li Hai asked, "I wonder how many strong bows General Chen can use?"

Li Xin, who was in the forefront, said, "Ship Li, although I am not good at bowing and feathers, I have the habit of treasureing good weapons. There is a good bow hidden in the warehouse. Today I will send it to General Chen. Come and go to my arsenal and get the rage of heaven."

As soon as this said, Li Hai's face suddenly turned and looked envious. Chen Changping was overjoyed and turned around and bowed to Li Xin and said, "Your Highness, is it because Master Lu Lian was angry in the past?"

"Have you heard of this bow, too?" Li Xin asked with a smile.

"Of course, how could anyone who practices arrows have never heard of the divine punishment, the two bows of the heavenly anger. The divine punishment has been destroyed, and only the heavenly anger remains in the world, but it has never been revealed in the world and does not want to be fully in the hands of Your Highness. Changping only heard from his master that he regretted seeing this bow for his whole life?" Chen Changping said happily.

"Your Highness, I have a saying in my humble position." The Dongdu Defense Commander Niu Furen suddenly stood up and said, "The sword is matched with a hero, the beauty is matched with a hero, General Li, and General Chen are all good at using arrows. You might as well use Tianwu as the first prize for the two generals today. Whoever wins will win will reward this Tianwu to whom, is that good?"

This is when Niu Furen saw Li Hai and heard the anger of heaven, his envious look could hardly be concealed, so he stood up and fought for his robes.

Sure enough, as soon as the words came out, Li Hai immediately felt happy.

Li Xin became increasingly unhappy. He originally wanted to use this bow to regain his subordinates' rudeness, but Niu Furen said this, but he put it on the fire and roasted it.

"That's great!" Li Ze smiled, "The magical weapons and powerful weapons should have fallen into the hands of those who are best at using him. Your Highness is hiding them in the treasury, which is a waste of resources. Changping, are you confident of winning?"

Chen Changping stood proudly: "The general of the ritual will surely make this wrath of heaven dazzling in the years to come."

At this point, Li Xin knew that things could not be saved, so he could only shake his head and smile bitterly. In a moment, someone came quickly with a rectangular box. Just looking at the box was carved from precious rosewood, you can know how precious the things in the box should be.

Everyone moved outside.

Li Hai whispered a few words, and immediately someone ran away. Three silk ribbons were hanging down under the big tree in front of the hall, three bright copper coins were tied to the bottom, swaying with the wind. Everyone knew at a glance that they were going to shoot these three copper coins.

"In ancient times, there was a hundred steps to wear a sunflower. Today, we learn to walk in Handan, and we should wear a copper coins with a hundred steps!" Li Hai turned his head and looked at Chen Changping, "I wonder if General Chen has any other meaning?"

Chen Changping shook his head slightly.

The soldiers sent two powerful bows and three feather arrows each.

"General Chen did not carry the usual bow today, so Li did not take advantage of this. These two bows were both two stone bows and were stored in the arsenal before. They were taken out at this time and General Chen was inspected." Li Hai reached out and signaled.

Chen Changping shook his head again and signaled that he would not use it anymore.

Li Ze nodded slightly. Although Li Hai's appearance was a bit ugly and provocative, he was open-minded and did not want to take advantage of others.

"Please!" Li Hai made a gesture of asking.

Chen Changping walked to Li Hai, and Li Hai and each took a bow on his hand, took out the beef tendon from the box next to him, and meticulously installed the bowstrings. Seeing their movements like flowing, they were indeed experts in this kind of art.

"You first, or I first?" Li Hai asked after installing the bowstring and adjusting it.

"After the guests, please come first, General Li!" Chen Changping said.

"Then let's be ugly." Li Hai walked forward a few steps and stood in front.

At this time, all the civil and military officials who came out could not help but calm down, for fear of making a sound that alarmed the person in the competition. Even Li Xin was extremely conflicted. He hoped that Li Hai would win and could show his charm in front of Li Ze, but he was worried that Li Ze would lose, and he would inevitably have a temper and hold a grudge. Such a young man has the most difficult temper.

At this time, he was very conflicted.

Li Ze had no such idea at all. Looking at the three copper coins swaying in the wind, he was quite worried for Chen Changping. He had never seen Chen Changping play such a game. At this time, the three copper coins that were a hundred steps away were a little blurred in his eyes, and they were also shaking around. It was so difficult to shoot it, which was unimaginable. If he had probably shot three arrows, he would not even be able to touch the edges of the copper coins.

He turned his head to look at Chen Changping, but saw that he looked calm. Seeing Li Ze's gaze, he actually nodded with a smile, and felt very calm.

He doesn't care about winning or losing, but winning is naturally better than losing.

Who doesn’t want to be faced?

Li Hai constrained his breath, and the arrow pulled the bow. With a whoosh sound, an arrow shot out, a ding sound, and a copper coin on the far left immediately fell in response. Before the audience could cheer, the second arrow shot out again with a thunderous momentum. Another ding sound, and the copper arrow was shot down. Amid the thunderous cheers, the third arrow came out again and hit again.

Li Hai turned his head and looked at everyone with a lustful face. Today's wind was a little messy, and he tried his best to these three arrows, but fortunately he did not make a fool of himself.

Chen Changping smiled and walked forward, walked to the distance under a big tree, took the copper coins from his servant, and actually tied the copper coins to a line, which made everyone confused. Is it necessary to penetrate three coins with one arrow?

It seems to be taking advantage!

Chen Changping, who walked back, smiled and said, "General Li's magical skills, three arrows and three drops, but if I do this, it is still difficult to decide the winner, so I will change my tricks to make you smile."

After saying that, he called Li Mi and whispered a few words in her ear.

Li Mi nodded, strode away, and after walking about sixty or seventy steps, he turned around and looked at Chen Changping.

Everyone was suddenly in an uproar because Li Mi was right between Chen Changping and three copper coins hanging in a thread. Not to mention the others, even Li Ze's face changed slightly. What is Chen Changping doing?

Before everyone could react, Chen Changping had already drawn his bow and arrow, and with a whimper, he could not see how he held his breath and calmed down. The feather arrow had already come out of the string.

In the terrifying eyes of everyone, the feather arrow shot in an arc in the air, bypassing Li Mi from the left. Just as the first arrow was shot, the second arrow came out again, but this arrow passed by Li Mi from the right. Two arrows, one in front and one behind, and with two tings, two copper coins flew high. The third arrow had no tricks, but this time Chen Changping shot not a copper arrow, but a silk ribbon tied with a copper coin. One arrow flew over, and the silk ribbon broke from the middle.

Chen Changping closed his bow, turned his head to look at the stunned people, and bowed and said, "Showing ugly."

After a while, Li Ze clapped and Li Xin was followed by him. Then everyone present couldn't help but applaud. Li Hai had already made everyone look down on him, but what Chen Changping showed was his real magical skill.

Li Hai stood there for a moment, put down the bow in his hand dejectedly, walked to the hall, took the box containing the rage from a servant, walked to Chen Changping, and said, "General Chen's magical skills, Li was convinced by his loss, and he should practice diligently in the future. I hope that one day, he will compete with General Chen again."

After taking the box, Chen Changping also bowed and said, "With a good man like General Li, Chen will not dare to slack off and look forward to the next contest."

The competition ended with Li Ze's victory, but the subsequent wine could not help but feel a little embarrassed and it was soon announced. Li Ze and his group were sent out of the imperial city by the chief Pei Ju. The group rode slowly on horseback. Li Ze turned around and looked at Chen Changping, who became a little stupid because of the rage of heaven, and asked with a smile: "Is this Lu Lian very famous?"

He really didn't know who Lu Lian was. By the way, his focus in those years could not be on a craftsman.

Gongsun Changming nodded and said, "Lu Lian was a master of the early Tang Dynasty. He made countless famous bows in his life, but the highest achievement was only two, one was divine punishment and the other was heavenly rage. The divine punishment was obtained by the third prince, and the heavenly rage was obtained by the crown prince. Later, the third prince rebelled, and this bow shot and killed countless subordinates of the crown prince. After the crown prince killed the third prince, he cut the divine punishment into two pieces and buried it with the third prince. Since then, only the heavenly rage has remained in the world. It is not an exaggeration to call it the leader of the world's good bow. However, I didn't expect that this bow would fall into Li Xin's hand. Chen Changping picked up a bargain this time."

"Divine punishment? The name is unknown when you hear it!" Li Ze shook his head and said, "Looking at Chen Changping's appearance, I'm afraid even if I get a good bow, I can't bear to take it out and use it!"

Gongsun Changming laughed. If he got such a treasure, he would naturally be reluctant to take it out.

"How does Mr. Gongsun observe the Shence Army?"

"The general is still very good." Gongsun Changming nodded and said, "Even though Li Hai is provocative today, his mind is still quite appropriate. The combat power of the Shen Ce Army is still the best in the world."

"Can you defend Luoyang?"

"This is hard to say." Gongsun Changming shook his head: "Just just look at Pei Ju's hard work this time, you can see that those who are interested have already penetrated into Luoyang quite deeply. It is hard to say whether they can hurt the enemy this time."
