Chapter 124 Powder Ball

Du Furi took the small bow first, took more than 50 steps before stopping, turned around, without any hesitation, and casually led the string, swirling! Five arrows in a row, without a gap, shot, smiled faintly, and then looked at the paint plate in the distance.

Yuan Xiu's eyes widened, Xi Yan came to her with a smile, and whispered, "Please have a look."

The five small arrows are inserted diagonally into the five powder balls, which are divided into the southeast and northwest of the plate and in the middle of the five directions. It can be seen that they are deliberately done. Except for the inserted powder balls, the rest are as smooth as new and are not involved at all.

Yuan Xiu stretched out his hand, picked up the small arrow in the middle, and looked carefully, but saw that the arrow clusters were all lost into the powder ball, but the entrance was smooth and complete, and it seemed that the strength was just right. She looked at the other four arrows and looked solemnly. The part where the five arrows did not enter the powder ball was like a knife cut, completely the same.

Sure is good!

But what surprised Yuan Xiu was that the other party dared to take action without even looking at it when he turned around after walking at the agreed distance, but the arrows were empty! That kind of calmness clearly does not pay attention to this distance examination at all.

"Twelve Langguo is really a magic skill!" Originally, she heard the words of Wei Huafei and Xue Shi. Although she was curious about Du Furi, she was a little dissatisfied. At this moment, she really couldn't pick anything. Seeing Xi Yan looking at herself excitedly, she nodded slightly and praised.

Xi Yan smiled boldly and said, "It's too early to praise it. Two years ago, Qilang deliberately made it difficult because he couldn't invite Shilang to go out. He asked Shilang to shoot a piece of cake about the same size a hundred steps away. Shilang casually took a long bow for hunting and raised his hand to hit it. Qilang had to feather. Go - so Qilang Tete asked me to take a long bow. This bow still made Qilang make people rush to the Weixue Tower and ask Zheng Jialangjun to borrow it.

Yuanxiu blinked: "How many steps can that long bow shoot?"

"That bow is only carried by the Zheng family guard and can shoot about 300 steps." When Xi Yan said truthfully, he saw a trace of cunning in Yuan Xiu's eyes and raised his voice, "Twelve Lang! How many arrows can you shoot 300 steps away?

Washing the inkstone widened its eyes...

However, Du Furi just smiled: "Okay."

Yuanxiu stood near the paint plate, squinting and counting Du Furi's footsteps. Three hundred steps away, Du Furi's figure had shrunk. The long wind on the bank of the Qujiang River blew through everyone's clothes. He turned around calmly, still without stopping, and the sound of arrows breaking the wind was endless - a moment later, Du Furi raised his hand far away and made a look. Gestures.

Xie Yan happily raised the paint plate in front of Yuan Xiu.

Ten arrows, this time ten arrows.

Because the range of the small bow is less than a hundred steps, the bow used by Du Furi at this moment is the long bow that Du Qi asked for from the Zheng family guard. The feathers used are also used for hunting. The red stems and white feathers are iron as the shovels. The flying arrowheads are almost the same size of the powder ball. Originally, even if they are shot, the powder ball will not break, it must be because of flying. The weight of the kite itself was pried out of the paint plate, but...

Yuanxiu looked speechlessly at the ten feathers and arrows criscrossing in the disk. The white feathers at the tail of the arrow touched each other and seemed to be messy, but they used them very cleverly to support each other and also maintained the state when they shot into the powder ball. Although this made other powder balls nearby were squeezed, they were all in the end.

Du Furi handed over the bow and arrow to Xiyan and bowed Yuanxiu again as a salute.

Yuan Xiu waved his hand and said, "Don't be too polite... Well, Ben... I heard from Concubine Hua that your archery is natural?"

Du Furi smiled without saying anything and asked, "Your lord and Concubine Hua seem to be quite close?"

"I saw her at the cherry banquet." Yuan Xiu was annoyed that he didn't know when he would reach his state. He casually said, "I met her on the shooting range a few days ago. In ten shots, I praised her, but she said you taught her."

"When Concubine Hua didn't enter the palace, I did tell her some string control tips." Du Furi pondered, "This is also because of Huafei's diligent practice."

Hearing the word diligence, Yuan Xiu felt a little headache. She asked without thinking, "Since my aunt taught me how to lead the strings, I have been practicing every day for several months. Why is the effect still not good?"

Du Furi didn't expect her to ask such a question. He was a little surprised, but he still said, "In addition to his talent, you also need to practice for many years. Your master has only practiced for several months. I don't know how accurate it is?"

"In the shooting range, there are about eight or nine bullseyes from 70 steps away, and the rest are slightly crooked by a few inches." Yuan Xiu said depressedly, "But when I go back to Leyou to practice, I can't catch up with my prey."

"Well..." Du Furi thought, "Is the bow you open now a stone?"

Yuan Xiu nodded: "The aunt said I was not strong enough."

"So your lord will pause for a moment when he finds the prey?" Du Fu asked again every day.

"Natural." Yuan Xiu nodded.

Du Furi is a little funny: "The arrow target is dead, but the prey is alive. I think the reason why you miss every time is because you are too slow to shoot?"

Yuanxiu opened her mouth and said after thinking about it, "The aunt said that I was not accurate and strong enough. Why do you think it was too slow to do it?"

"It's almost eight or nine out of ten out of 70 steps away. After all, it's not common to get out of 100 out of 100." Du Furi smiled indifferently, "But at first, you practiced on the shooting range before going to Leyou to practice. Presumably, you will develop a habit... On the shooting range, your goal is to hit the target. In order to achieve this goal, every time before loosening the string, you will definitely aim at the target for a moment, and wait until your mood and arms are stable before shooting out. In this way, there will naturally be more secondary trees. However, the prey will not give your master time to aim, so although your head is good, it is easy to miss because the arrow is too slow.

A trace of anger flashed on Yuanxiu's face without applying fat powder, and she muttered in a low voice, "Madam has never told me!" There seems to be a trace of complaint in his tone.

Du Furi said slightly: "Is the lady you mentioned Mrs. Xue? If it's Mrs. Xue's words, I'm afraid it's to let your Lord find this out, so she deliberately doesn't say it.

"Bow the little bow." Yuan Xiu tilted his head and looked at the powder balls that were still hit by arrows in the paint plate, and suddenly said.

Wash the inkstone's wily hands to put the small bow up.

Yuan Xiu took the bow, retreated and took a few steps back. She looked at the people around her and coughed unnaturally: "You guys step back."

The two male servants in blue were originally very curious and disappointed when they heard the words, but they still retreated far away. Du Furi moved, but Yuan Xiu said awkwardly, "Can Twelve Lang turn around for the time being?"

Du Furi nodded and washed the inkstone without saying, so he followed Du Furi's back.

"You also turned around..." Yuan Xiu looked at Shouzhen and whispered.

Seeing that no one around her saw it, Yuan Xiu took a break. She knew that her archery skills were rough. She counted 20 steps first and turned around. Like Du Furi just now, she immediately set up an arrow and shot three arrows at the position of the paint plate in her memory. The third arrow came out, and she heard two voices from the paint plate.

Yuan Xiu's face suddenly looked extremely ugly!

After all, it's only 20 steps, and it's a stationary goal. Yuanxiu is still accurate at this distance, but she suddenly wants to get rid of the habit of watching the target first and then taking action - her two arrows all hit the walnut wooden upturned case.

The third arrow almost didn't make Yuan Xiu shout - it was not biased and shot at the side of the paint plate. Fortunately, she was worried that she would shoot the powder ball and didn't use much force, otherwise, she was afraid that the whole paint plate would be hit!

After 20 steps away, Yuan Xiu was stunned for a moment. Yuan Xiu saw that the male servant was still standing in the distance, and Du Furi did not turn around. He pinched his fists and raised his voice, "Okay."

Du Fu's ear was so powerful that he didn't need to look back and know what had happened, but his expression was extremely calm. The inkstone washing was not as good as his cultivation. The first thing behind him was to look at the lacquer plate, but he saw that there were no other arrows on the lacquer plate except the fifteen arrows previously shot by Du Furi. Instead, there were three arrows scattered beside the lacquer plate and under the upturned case. Small arrow...

The compliment that washed the inkstone to his mouth suddenly swallowed it, and looked at Yuanxiu strangely...

Yuan Xiu's face turned red, squeezed the small bow in his hand, stared at the three scattered feather arrows for a moment, raised his hand, and subconsciously caught the small bow she threw, and listened to her annoy, "This... It seems that Twelve Lang is really talented."

Xiyan and Shouzhen quickly lowered their heads for fear that they couldn't help laughing.

Du Furi also slightly hooked his lower lip and then coughed, "I don't think you are used to such a small bow."

"The twelve Lang archery is so exquisite that I don't know why he has never participated in martial arts?" Yuan Xiu's riding shot has been hit by Xue for many days in a row. Just now, he compared it with Du Furi. He was in an indescribably bad mood. Although he insisted on picking out a reason, he was really embarrassed in front of Du Furi and wanted to change the topic.

But he heard Du Furi smile and said, "There are other requirements besides archery skills, and I am all ordinary except for archery."

"There are no more than four martial arts, and the riding and step shooting have accounted for half. In my opinion, it is not difficult for these two twelve Lang to win the championship. As for horse guns and stone locks..." Yuan Xiu said this and looked at his size again. The martial arts system originated from Wu Zhou at the time of the chaos of this dynasty and was created by Wu Zhou. The reason was originally because of Wu Monday. The famous generals withered, and in order to select the generals, it was presided over by the Ministry of War, which was divided into four items: riding, step shooting, horse gun and stone lock. In addition, there are also requirements for the physical appearance of candidates. The so-called "the torso is majestic and can be a general".

Du Furi is handsome. If he participates in the essay, the first of the four judgments of Meng Tang's official must have passed directly. However, compared with the impression and requirements of martial arts, it seems a little weak, and among the four items of martial arts, the stone lock used to test strength is quite heavy. Looking at his appearance, it may not be lifted.

Yuanxiu felt great regret and said, "The so-called foot is short and the inch is long. Twelve Lang's archery skill is so good, and other aspects are slightly worse. It can be passed. Why don't you try it?" What she thought was that as long as Du Fu went to apply for the exam a few days ago, she would pester Fengchun to let him pass.

Du Furi looked at her unexpectedly: "Thank you, but I don't mean it for the time being."

Yuan Xiu was waiting for further persuasion, and her sleeves were suddenly quietly pulled by Shouzhen behind her. She was shocked and quickly changed her words, "I suddenly remembered something. I'll say goodbye first!"
