Became a prodigy in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 109
"hey-hey……"

Li Chongyi was even happier when he heard this.

He hurriedly put on the appearance of a teacher, and taught Li Xiaogong how to play the crossbow honestly.

Li Xiaogong is not stupid, and he quickly learned how to operate.

Then he raised his foot to open the bow, but found that the strength was weak, he gritted his teeth, and kicked hard.Finally opened the crossbow.

Only then did he carefully put the arrow up, following the way Li Chongyi taught him.He half-closed one eye and aimed at the target in front of him.He pulled the trigger decisively.

"Whoosh..."

"clang……"

Hearing this voice, Li Xiaogong immediately became overwhelmed, this is the feeling of being on the target!

Li Er and the officials next to him were taken aback, did they hit the target?

Is this thing really that easy to operate?
I just got it, fiddled with it a few times, let someone explain the main points of shooting, can it hit the target?

Hello!This target is placed three hundred paces away!

They were not very surprised that Li Ke, Li You, and Li Chongyi were able to hit the target.However, Lee Hyo-gong was able to hit the target with one arrow, so they thought it was a bit of a joke.

Sure enough, the target caller shouted loudly: "Eight rings."

"What? Eight rings?"

"Oh my god……"

Those civil and military officials cried out in surprise.

And the sharp archer standing aside has already begun to doubt life at this moment.

He is already in his thirties this year. He has been shooting arrows all his life and has never met an opponent.

Today, she was abused again and again.It made him feel ashamed to stand here.

How did he know that it was not because of his bad archery skills, but because of his bad bow and arrow skills.

If he also used a strong crossbow to shoot, the first arrow would not dare to say, but the second arrow must also have ten rings.After all, his years of experience are not in vain.

Hejian County King Li Xiaogong was able to hit the eighth ring with his first arrow, not because of luck, but because he is also a master of archery.

Li Er was overjoyed, he beckoned Li You over, and took the crossbow from his hand.After playing with it for a while, he asked Li You to teach him how to shoot.

Li You was simply elated!So patiently began to teach Li Erlai.

Soon Li Er also took up the bow and arrow, and he also shot a seven-ring shot.

"Baby, this is simply a baby!"

Li Er took the bow and arrow and admired there, as happy as a child.

"Cheng Chuli, hurry up and tell everyone why you can shoot so accurately with this powerful crossbow? And it's so easy to use."

Cheng Chuli walked up and said: "It's very simple, because its aiming method is different from that of a bow and arrow. To shoot a bow and arrow accurately, you must go through long-term practice. Why?"

"Forehead?"

Everyone is confused, how do people answer this question?

Li Er said: "Isn't long-term training just for practice to make perfect? ​​What's the point?"

Cheng Chuli said: "Practice makes perfect is only one aspect. The most important thing is that they have to rely on long-term training to fix their posture. In the future, they must shoot arrows in this fixed posture in order to shoot accurately."

As soon as Cheng Chuli said this, some people were dissatisfied.The sharp archer stood up and said, "Young Master, I admit that what you said is reasonable, but I'm sorry, I never need to aim when I shoot."

Everyone nodded and looked at Cheng Chuli.What did he say?
Cheng Chuli smiled and said: "A person who can shoot accurately without relying on posture is the kind of person who is extremely talented and can estimate the shot by feeling. But this kind of person is very rare. And we have to admit that the accuracy of the shot is estimated The accuracy of archery is always lower than that of shooting arrows with a fixed posture.

That's why when we shoot the object above, we don't bend the waist, but the leg joints.Because the shooter has to keep the posture of the upper body fixed. "

Everyone nodded when they heard what he said.Many of them are good at archery.This is how the teacher taught them when they were learning archery.But they didn't ask why instead of bending at the waist, they had to bend the knee joints.

Today, Cheng Chuli revealed this mystery to them.

Li Xiaogong asked without shame: "Then when we shoot arrows, why do we shoot more accurately with a fixed posture?"

Cheng Chuli said: "That's a good question. A fixed posture means that every arrow is shot at the same angle. Only in this way can the archer grasp the accuracy. If you don't fix the posture, one arrow is higher and the other is lower, how can you aim?" ?”

In fact, this is the principle of gun barrels in later generations. As long as the gun is fixed, every shot will be in the same position, and the gunner can naturally point and shoot.

If you don't have rifling in the barrel, the bullets will be flying around and it will be difficult to aim.

But this theory is a bit difficult to explain clearly in front of these people.But he has explained it like this, those who can understand will naturally understand, and those who don't understand him have nothing to do.

Li Er asked: "Xiao Chuli, you have explained so much to us, what does it have to do with this strong crossbow?"

Cheng Chuli said: "The structure of my strong crossbow is like the fixed posture of an archer. As long as the crossbow is fixed, every arrow shot will be in a fixed position. The archer will naturally aim at where to hit. To put it bluntly, it is It saves the link of relying on training to fix the posture."

oh!Everyone finally realized suddenly.

Cheng Chuli approached Li Er, and asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, do you think my stuff is worth it...?"

Cheng Chuli didn't say what happened next.

Li Er nodded, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Okay, let you handle it yourself, I won't participate. OK?"

Well, this Li Er is too dark, he just refuses to be a villain!
However, this is better for Cheng Chuli.

Cheng Chuli said decisively, "Deal."

Cheng Chuli: It's too difficult for me. This Tang Dynasty has no reason to reason.He was assassinated, and the murderer was caught on the spot, and he needed something in exchange for revenge.

The next day, after class.

Cheng Chuli said to Yuchi Baolin: "General Yuchi Baolin, bring three hundred Xuanjia troops and follow me."

Yuchi Baolin didn't need to guess, she also knew what Cheng Chuli was going to do.Immediately ordered troops to go.

However, they haven't set off yet.A Xuanjia soldier ran over and reported: "Young Master, Cui Ren is asking to see him outside the village entrance, do you want to see him?"

Cheng Chuli was stunned for a moment, and asked, "What's the situation? How dare he come to see me?"

The Xuanjia soldier said: "There are many carriages behind, and they all look like they are pulling heavy loads."

"what?"

Cheng Chuli was taken aback: "Did he send me money?"

He sent someone to assassinate me, and I found out, how dare he come?

Suddenly, Cheng Chuli figured it out.

It seems that Cui Ren didn't even know that he had been exposed.Then according to the agreement, I gave myself money!
Haha ...

Cheng Chuli thought he couldn't get the money!Unexpectedly, he still sent it to himself.

"Okay, please."

After finishing speaking, Cheng Chuli returned to his own yard, sat at the shady table under the big tree, made tea, and waited for Cui Ren's arrival.

Behind him, two princes and several princes of the state stood behind.

Soon, Cui Ren and his men came outside the courtyard.

"Hahahaha...Little nephew, it's really not easy for the old man to meet you! It's been an hour since I walked here from Chang'an! However, I finally saw my little nephew."

Cui Ren laughed loudly and led the four of them into the courtyard.With Cheng Chuli's signal, he sat opposite.

My little nephew and your sister.

Cheng Chuli's expression was very bad, he said coldly: "Patriarch Cui, stop talking nonsense, have my money been delivered yet?"

Forehead?
Cui Ren froze for a moment, a bad feeling came to his heart.

"Haha, the old man came here today, of course to send you money. Come on! Bring the money up so that my little nephew can have a look."

Then, suddenly, ten boxes of gold were carried in, and the lid was opened directly, revealing the golden light inside, which almost blinded everyone's titanium dog eyes.

Cheng Chuli looked at it and felt his heart beating faster.

"General Yuchi Baolin, have someone carry the money into the warehouse."

"Yes."

Yuchi Baolin agreed, and someone came up with a wave of her hand, and took the money away in a hurry.

Cui Ren was bleeding in his heart, but on the surface he said with a smile: "Little nephew, I have already sent you the money. Can you release my son now and let me take him back?"

"Ha ha……"

Cheng Chuli sneered and said, "In addition to sending money, Patriarch Cui, don't you think you should give me an explanation?"

"Eh? What account?"

Cui Ren's complexion instantly became ugly.

"Hehe, you sent people to kill me twice in a row. Although you didn't hurt me, you killed dozens of my Xuanjia soldiers. How should we settle this account?"

Hearing this, Cui Ren's heart was turbulent, but he still held back his anger, and said to Cheng Chuli with a smirk: "Little nephew, you can eat this stuff, but you can't talk nonsense, when will the old man send someone to assassinate him?" is you?"

Cheng Chuli said indifferently: "Okay, maybe I made a mistake, you only assassinated me once, and the other time was to assassinate the Supreme Emperor."

Cui Ren became even angrier, and finally couldn't help but yell at Cheng Chuli: "Cheng Chuli, what you say is based on evidence, what is your intention to frame this old man?"

Cheng Chuli: "Cui Ren, you really don't cry when you see the coffin. Could it be that those who fled back told you that Li Anliang fell into my hands?"

Cui Ren had already thought of this result.Although Li Anliang said repeatedly that he would not betray him, Cui Ren did not believe these words.

So he had already prepared his speech.

"Cheng Chuli, I don't know what you're talking about? If you want to frame this old man, please show me evidence."

Cheng Chuli: "Stop pretending to be crazy, Li Anliang has already recruited."

Cui Ren: "What does what you said have anything to do with Li Anliang?"

Cheng Chuli: "Yesterday, I was assassinated outside Chang'an City, causing a sensation in Chang'an. I caught Li Anliang at the scene, and learned from him that it was you who arranged the assassination, Cui Ren, what else do you have to say. "

Cui Ren: "Cheng Chuli's one-sided statement is not credible. It should not be used as evidence."

Yes, one-sided words have always been insufficient to convict, otherwise, if you just pull out a person, you can make a false accusation against anyone.

Cheng Chuli: "Cui Ren, is this your arrogant capital?"

Cui Ren: "Am I arrogant? I'm afraid you are the one who is arrogant?"

"Correct."

Cheng Chuli nodded and said: "You're right, I should be very arrogant as a person. So let me tell you, this is not a court trial. I don't need evidence at all. I just need to know that you did it." Yes. General Yuchi Baolin, go and drag Cui Luan up here."

"Yes."

Yuchi Baolin immediately arranged for someone to handle the matter.

An ominous premonition surged into Cui Ren's heart, and he asked in a little astonishment: "Cheng Chuli, what do you want to do?"

Cheng Chuli said: "Cui Ren, a man is brave enough to do things. I will give you a chance, as long as you admit that you did this thing today. Then I will put you and your son back today without any damage. Fight , from now on, let’s show our chariots and cannons, and fight openly. I’ll just play with you.”

Cui Ren's face sank like water, and he said coldly, "What about the other way around?"

Cheng Chuli: "On the contrary, I will kill your son in front of you today. How about it? Did I make it clear enough?"

Cui Ren sneered: "What's the difference between you and torture?"

Cheng Chuli: "What I want to tell you is, let's not hide it. If we want to fight, we must make it clear. If you insist on using this kind of insidious trick to slander me, I will have to use any means. If your son is not in custody Before you come here, think about it for yourself!"

Cui Ren's expression changed, and he sat there silent.

Under the table, both fists were clenched tightly.

Cheng Chuli, Cheng Chuli, what do you think you are?If it wasn't for the old man taking a wrong step.Turning the assassination of you into the assassination of the Supreme Emperor, do you think the old man will be afraid of you?

That's right, if it wasn't for this, at this point in the matter, he wouldn't be afraid to say publicly that he was going to kill Cheng Chuli.

However, it was precisely this mistake that made it difficult for Cui Ren to move forward and find himself in a dilemma.

Hateful, too hateful.It was such a small mistake that was eaten to death by the kid in front of him.

Soon, Cui Luan was dragged into the yard by several Xuanjia soldiers.

Cheng Chuli said: "Cui Ren, have you thought it through?"

However, Cui Ren has not spoken yet.Cui Luan, who was dragged in like a dead dog, saw that Cui Ren was here.Immediately, as if he had been spat with chicken blood, he barked wildly at Cheng Chuli's side.

"Cheng Chuli, you bastard, you little bastard, how dare you cut off my hands. Dad, hurry up and order someone to arrest him, I want to chop off his hands and feet, I want him to be Human stick, die slowly, only then can the hatred in my heart be eliminated..."

As soon as Cui Ren saw Cui Luan's miserable appearance, he immediately became furious, stood up with a swipe, pointed at Cheng Chuli's nose and roared: "Bastard, you really dare to torture my son like this, you little beast, don't you!" It's too compelling."

Cheng Chuli smiled: "You talk a lot of nonsense, I've made it clear now that I'm forcing you too much, what's wrong?"

Cui Luan roared loudly: "Bastard, Cheng Chuli, you little bastard, if you dare, let me go back. If I, Cui Luan, don't kill you or your whole family, I will not be a human being."

Cui Ren was furious: "Come here, pick up the second young master, let's go, and anyone who dares to stop me will be killed."
