My balcony connects the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 244 The Archer

"Second Master, Lu Zhonglang asks to see you."

The butler, Wei Mu, bowed his hands at the gate of the courtyard and reported.

Holding a long bamboo tweezers in Wei Cheng's hands, he picked up a few grass fruits from the charcoal fire, and the air was filled with the fragrance of herbs.

"Oh, so soon?"

Xu Ding had already sent Xu Chutong the news that Lu Bu might come to see him, but he didn't expect that Lu Bu would come the next morning.

Nodding his head slightly, Wei Cheng looked at the stone table beside him and said, "Please come here, I won't go to the front hall."

Xu Chu at the side heard the words and said to Wei Mu: "I will go with you."

Xu Chu was the only general who could contain Lu Bu in this huge Weifu. Fearing that Lu Bu would make trouble, Xu Chu felt that he had to keep an eye on him all the way.

Wei Cheng smiled at this and said nothing, Xu Chu is good at this.

Not long after, Lu Bu led two people into the courtyard, and when he was at the door, he bowed and clasped his fists, "Bu, I have met the envoy of Wei."

Don't forget that Wei Cheng has an official position, and the Mushou of this huge Bingzhou is also the Mushou of Bingzhou. Therefore, it is correct for Lu Bu to call Wei Cheng the envoy.

Wei Cheng's official seal had been lost for a long time, and it might be sold to Mu Mu. He didn't have much dislike for Lu Bu's careful thinking. He pointed to the futon on the opposite side of the stone table and signaled Lu Bu is free.

At this time, Wei Cheng was still playing with Caoguo, which is a versatile herbal medicine.

It blooms from April to June and bears fruit from September to December. It mainly grows in Yunnan, Guangxi, Guizhou and other provinces in my country. It is cultivated or wild in sparse forests at an altitude of 1100-1800 meters.

The grass fruits in Wei Cheng's hands were collected from a group of merchants in Sichuan and Sichuan. The red fruits are plump and juicy. If they are cooked properly, the efficacy of the medicine will definitely increase several times.

Wei Cheng put the grass fruit in a porcelain basin to cool down. When he looked up at Lu Bu, his eyes fell on the face of a person beside Lu Bu.

"Uh, it's you!"

"Humph!"

Lu Bu was stunned for a moment, and then asked in surprise and joy: "Master, do you know my Linger?"

Wei Cheng looked at the woman with starry eyes, and unconsciously looked at her kneeling legs, and said awkwardly: "I met you in the bathhouse yesterday, so we don't know each other."

Hearing this, Lu Bu looked at his daughter Lu Ling with some disappointment. Seeing that she was staring at Wei Cheng with a sad face, he couldn't help shouting angrily, "You girl, why don't you understand any rules?"

Lu Ling raised his eyebrows, snorted coldly, and turned his head away.

Seeing this, Wei Cheng said with a smile: "Brother Lu, don't be embarrassed, just be more casual with me."

Lu Bu knew that there was nothing he could do with his precious daughter, so he sighed helplessly, cupped his fists and said, "I made you laugh."

Wei Cheng smiled and nodded, but another cold snort greeted him.

"Your reason for coming here, Zhongkang has already told me that the person you are talking about must be Donglai Taishici."

"Oh, so that you know this person?"

Lu Bu's eyes lit up.

Wei Cheng casually took a copy of "Big Han Dragon and Tiger List" and put it on the table, and said, "Brother Lu is the top of the Dragon and Tiger List, don't you know that under you, this big man is also a hidden dragon and crouching tiger?"

Lu Bu accepted the "Big Han Dragon and Tiger List" with an embarrassed expression, and said, "To tell you the truth, since getting Fang Tian's halberd, Lu has never lost a single defeat, so he gradually stopped paying attention to this book."

Wei Cheng chuckled, ignoring his Versailles, and motioned him to turn to the eighth page.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but Wei Cheng felt that after he took out the "Big Han Dragon and Tiger List", the coldness on Lu Ling's body became stronger, and it seemed to be specifically aimed at him.

Wei Cheng only thought it was an illusion, because this girl is now crazily exporting to a plate of Swiss rolls...

Turning to the eighth page, Lu Bu frowned.

"...Adept at bow and horse, good at riding and shooting, coming and going like the wind, can accurately hit the prey [-] paces away in the strong wind...This, is this too exaggerated, I am afraid that ordinary strong bows can't shoot [-] paces away. step?"

After Lu Bu read Tai Shici's introduction, he didn't believe that there were people with such outrageous archery skills in the world.

Wei Cheng smiled without saying a word, reached out to get his grass fruit, and then took Lu Bu to see what really powerful archery is.

But after taking a look at the porcelain plate, Wei Cheng was stunned.

"Where's my grass fruit?"

Lu Ling: "Crack, click..."

···
Dingjunfang.

Wei Cheng followed Xu Chu, Lu Bu, Lu Ling's father and daughter, and a middle-aged man followed.

Veteran Huang Zhong changed into a city guard uniform and was demonstrating how to shoot a limit distance of [-] steps with an ordinary strong bow.

This is a magical skill that even Huang Xu can't do. There are many factors to consider, and it can't be realized without extraordinary shooting experience.

Just when everyone was holding their breath.

Veteran Huang Zhong suddenly shouted, bent his bow and set his arrow, and shot the arrow at a 45-degree angle.

The movements are done in one go, without the slightest sloppiness. It is similar to the kind of thing that draws the bowstring and takes aim for a long time. It is impossible to see it on the real shooting range. Masters never aim, they just rely on their feelings.

The weaker will only aim more and more inaccurately. It is already very laborious to draw a really strong bow.

(Here we are talking about traditional bows, compound bows can of course be aimed.)
I don't know if it was an illusion, but the moment Huang Zhong shot the arrow, everyone felt a strong wind blowing from behind.

A look of astonishment flashed in Wei Cheng's eyes, he probably knew the key to this magical skill.

Sure enough, the flying arrow seemed to have been affected by something, and it flew parallel in the air for a certain distance, and finally began to fall when it was more than 200 steps away, and accurately hit the straw target [-] steps away.

Although it wasn't right in the middle of the heart, such a miraculous archery technique was enough to make everyone present stunned.

Even Lu Bu was so shocked that he couldn't speak at this moment. After a while, he exclaimed: "Yes, that's how they died, and that's how those people died."

Lu Bu reached out and took an arrow, nailed it to a wooden stake at an angle of almost [-] degrees, and said: "Those scouts who were blocked, the arrows on their bodies were inserted into their bodies at this angle. At first, I wondered. , I thought it was attacked by the rain of arrows, but there are no other arrows left around, so it makes sense now!"

Huang Zhong came over, frowned and said: "If that's the case, then this person's archery skills should be on par with mine, even if Xu'er is gone, there is nothing he can do about him, and he might even kill him. "

Wei Cheng was startled when he heard this.

There are probably a few of the most powerful archery masters recorded in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms: Lu Bu, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, and Tai Shici.

Why take the four of them alone?

First, Lu Bu shot his halberd at Yuanmen, fixed the target at 150 steps, and shot through a hole the size of a copper coin eye.

Furthermore, when Zhao Yunjiang shot the Pengsuo in the face, there was a strong southeast wind at that time, Zhao Yun was able to hit the rope accurately, which shows that his archery skills are excellent.

Then there are Tai Shici and Huang Zhong, both of whom shoot at people.

Tai Shici said in the city that he wanted to shoot the enemy general's left hand, and he shot through the opponent's left hand, and nailed the man's hand to the wall so that he could not move.

This can no longer be described as simple and powerful, it is simply that the human bow is one, and the arrow is sent out at will.

What about Huang Zhong?

It's amazing, it's Guan Yu... the root of the helmet on his head.

Gener!
This thing is probably as thin as the eye of a copper coin.

And it was still worn on Guan Yu's head. With Guan Yu's reflexes, it was easy to dodge ordinary arrows, but Huang Zhong shot the helmet away.

The most important thing is that Guan Yu was chasing and killing Huang Zhong at that time, and both of them were galloping on fast horses!

Of course, it doesn't mean that Huang Zhong must be the best, but a man in his 70s can still show such powerful archery skills when he is old. Presumably he is in his prime at this time, and his archery skills should be even better. .

However, Huang Zhong said that Tai Shici's archery skills are on par with him.

At this time, Tai Shici is estimated to be about the same age as Wei Cheng, at the age of 25, there is still a lot of room for growth.

This can't help but make Wei Cheng love talents, because in his plan, the future city guards will pay more attention to shooting ability.

I understand everything I understand.

Moreover, Tai Shici's work under Kong Rong's subordinates was mainly to repay his kindness, not to follow him wholeheartedly. Later, he followed Sun Ce.

Since Sun Ce can get his favor, there is no reason why he can't.

When Wei Cheng thought about this, he couldn't help but look at Huang Zhong.

If Huang Zhong can crush Tai Shici and make Tai Shici unconvinced, hehehe...

Wei Cheng already had a plan in mind.

"Han Sheng, don't underestimate yourself. You can reproduce his magical skills, and once you hit it, it proves that your archery skills are better than his." Wei Cheng said with a smile.

Huang Zhong was not humble when he heard this, he proudly puffed out his chest and smiled.

Veteran Huang Zhong is still very happy to be recognized.

Moreover, Wei Cheng was right. He hadn't practiced this skill before. He just shot an arrow based on his own feeling. He was sure that if he shot a few more arrows, he would be able to hit the red heart.

"Brother Lu, I have a suggestion."

Wei Cheng looked at Lu Bu with a smile, and he didn't know what conspiracy was brewing under his calm face, which made Lu Bu treat it carelessly.

"My envoy, please tell me."

Wei Cheng chuckled and said, "I can help you take down this person, but you can leave this matter alone, how about it?"

"What does your envoy mean?" Lu Bu was puzzled.

Wei Cheng said bluntly: "That's right, you go directly back to Luoyang and report to me, and I will leave this person to me."

As soon as Wei Cheng finished speaking, Lu Ling beside him said in a deep voice, "No, he killed so many of us, so he must pay for it."

Lu Bu is not stupid. After being pointed out by his daughter, he immediately realized that Wei Cheng was trying to attract him.

Thinking of this, Lu Bu's face became gloomy, and he looked directly at Wei Cheng and said, "You don't know, that thief killed dozens of my people under my nose, if you don't execute him in public, what will Lu do?" Can you talk about prestige?"

Wei Cheng frowned slightly, and replied in a cold voice: "In that case, forgive Wei for being incompetent."

"Hmph, love to help?"

"Ling'er, don't be rude!"

Lu Bu rubbed his brows helplessly, and said with a frown, "Does the Lord have to recruit him? The Lord already has Brother Han Sheng as a good archer, so why go looking for that thief again?"

Lu Bu looked straight, but in fact there were still many twists and turns. Hearing what he said, Wei Cheng felt embarrassed.

Glancing at Huang Zhong next to him, Wei Cheng glared at Lu Bu angrily, and said, "Brother Lu is right to say that, with Han Sheng alone, he is enough to hold a thousand horses and thousands of troops. A mere Tai Shici and his like are really dispensable." .”

Hearing this, Huang Zhong felt comforted in his heart, raised his head and chest proudly, his eyes sparkled, and when he was old, he would meet Bole and drink a big white.

Having said that, Wei Cheng still has no intention of recruiting Tai Shici, but he has a plan in mind.

···
On the carriage into the city.

Lu Bu looked at his daughter in confusion, frowned and asked, "Why did you bump into Wei Zhongdao so many times?"

Lu Ling bit her thin lip and snorted coldly.

Lu Bu said in a deep voice: "Even if he offended you somewhere, you should tell my father and let my father vent your anger on you. If you embarrass him face to face, you will not only hate him, but also ruin your father's plan. What are you doing?"

Lu Ling turned to look at Lu Bu, looked at it for a long time, and then took out a copy of "Big Han Dragon and Tiger List" from his bosom...

"You are this?"

Lu Bu was surprised, he didn't know that his daughter would also read this book.

Lu Lingqiao blushed slightly, and said angrily: "Then you go and ask him, why are all the one hundred strong men on the big man dragon and tiger list all men, and why there is not a single woman on it?"

Lu Bu was stunned.

Lu Ling continued to say with righteous indignation: "Why, let him look down on us women, so I can't show him face? The Han Dynasty is divided into half men and women. Why do you men get all the benefits?"

"Are you angry with him because of this?" Lu Bu laughed angrily.

Lu Ling opened the "Big Han Dragon and Tiger List" to the ranking page, pointed to a man ranked 79, and said angrily: "This Chen Xiong, I beat him to the ground in three rounds..."

Another page was opened, "This Zhao Gu fought with me for thirty rounds and was kicked several feet away by me...and this Liu Sandao..."

The more Lu Bu listened, the darker his face became, "You girl, you run out of emotions every day, just to challenge these people?"

Lu Ling raised his head stubbornly, stared back directly, and argued, "Why, can it be that they are not strong enough, and I can't challenge them?"

Lu Bu said in a deep voice, "Who brought you there?"

"I, I am alone..." A rare panic appeared in Lu Lingxing's eyes.

Lu Bu shouted in a deep voice, "Is that Zhang Wenyuan?"

Lu Ling remained silent.

When Lu Bu saw this, he was so angry that he almost didn't slap him, "How many times have I told you, don't get too close to Zhang Wenyuan, he is Dong Zhuo'an's spy by his father's side, and sooner or later he will do bad things."

"Brother Zhang is not that kind of person!" Lu Ling retorted excitedly.

"you."

Lu Bu's big hand was fixed in the air, but he was reluctant to let it go. If he hadn't been so pampered, Lu Ling would not have developed an unscrupulous temperament.

"Forget it, from now on, you will live in Anyi and don't go anywhere."

"Why?"

Lu Bu sighed, and said quietly: "Just because this is the safest place in the world, if you live here, you will have one less worry about being a father, and you can act more calmly."

Although Lu Ling is domineering, he also knows that Lu Bu's current situation is not very good.

He hesitated for a while.

In the end, she agreed to her father's arrangement. Although she quarreled with her father every day, she knew that her father loved her the most in his heart, after all, her daughter.
