Chapter 580 Compound Bow

"it is good."

"Duke Anguo is a great archer."

"Duke Anguo's archery skills are indeed well-deserved. Is that two hundred steps away?"

"."

Listening to the cheers of the teenagers, Chen Mo, who was used to being praised, suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

Being bored, Chen Mo simply stayed in the training ground to teach these young men from the Xiao family how to practice archery skills.

For the children of large families, riding and archery are also part of their education since childhood.

The so-called six arts of a gentleman are rites, music, archery, charioteering, calligraphy and mathematics.

She and Yu refer to the techniques of archery and chariot driving.

Archery techniques include maintaining constant body posture, aiming point, bow pushing method and force point, etc.

Although Chen Mo did not have a master to teach him, he managed to find a path of his own through his own "efforts".

Looking at the teenagers practicing archery according to their own methods, Chen Mo suddenly thought of something.

For a moment, he even wanted to slap himself twice.

He had previously spent a large amount of silver to manufacture the crossbow. Not only did it cost a lot of silver, but the annual output was also not large. After spending so much effort, he actually forgot about the compound bow.

The compound bow was a legal lethal weapon that ordinary people could possess in the modern society of Chen Mo's previous life. Its power was even stronger than that of an ordinary pistol.

There are even videos online of people using compound bows to shoot through explosion-proof shields.

Isn’t this power stronger than the Divine Arm Crossbow?

And most importantly, the compound bow is easy to imitate.

In his previous life, as a rich second-generation, he had bought a compound bow and played with it. He understood its structure. It was not a difficult task as long as he drew the blueprint and gave it to the craftsmen to make it.

For a moment, Chen Mo's heart was filled with emotion.

You should know that the materials used to make composite bows are not expensive, but extremely cheap. For example, in East Asia in the past, they were made of long and thin pieces of mixed wood or bones.

Chen Mo was in no mood to practice archery with these young men, so he took action immediately.

Chen Mo was originally going to return to the villa, but he ran into Xiao Ya on the way. Because he couldn't wait to draw the compound bow in his mind, he said to Xiao Ya directly: "Xiao Ya, I remember you live next to here."

Xiao Ya was stunned and nodded.

"Do you have paper and pen in your room?" Chen Mo asked.

Xiao Ya nodded again.

"Then take me there quickly." Chen Mo said quickly.

"what?"

Xiao Ya blushed, and without refusing, she took Chen Mo to her boudoir.

After bringing Chen Mo to her boudoir, Xiao Ya's face turned even redder. Apart from her father, Chen Mo was the first man to enter her room.

Xiao Ya's boudoir was tidy and simple, full of the atmosphere of a young girl. Chen Mo had no intention of looking around. After a quick glance, he immediately went to the desk in the inner room and started looking for paper and pen.

Just when Chen Mo was about to grind the ink, Xiao Ya took the initiative to speak: "Brother Mo, let me grind the ink for you."

Chen Mo nodded and spread out a large white paper on the desk.

Xiao Ya asked curiously: "Brother Mo, can you also draw?"

"It's not painting. You'll know in a moment. Is the ink ground?"

"Well, all right."

Chen Mo held a small brush and slowly sketched the shape of a compound bow on paper based on his memory.

Among them, the most important component of the compound bow - the pulley, is indispensable.

"Is this a bow?" Xiao Yaqing's eyes flickered as she looked at the pattern drawn by Chen Mo. She then asked curiously, "Brother Mo, why does this bow have two wheels?"

She found the bow on the paper very strange.

Chen Mo did not respond to him for the time being. Instead, he looked at the pattern on the paper, constantly recalling the details of the compound bow in his mind, to see which part he had forgotten to draw.

After a round of revisions, one draft after another was rejected.

Finally, half an hour later, Chen Mo finally got the drawings that satisfied him.

"Xiaoya, it's done. Thank you."

After admiring it for a while, Chen Mo said to Xiao Ya.

Seeing no response, Chen Mo turned his head and found that Xiao Ya had moved a chair and sat next to him, then fell asleep on the table.

Her sleeping face is like a delicate flower, quietly blooming. The wind outside the window blows gently, and the girl's hair is like fine silk, fluttering slightly.

Chen Mo couldn't help but reach out and touch Xiao Ya's head.

Xiao Ya was not very sleepy, she just squinted her eyes due to fatigue. When Chen Mo touched her, the girl woke up immediately. Under her beautiful eyebrows, her big eyes looked at Chen Mo blankly.

After a moment, the girl stood up quickly, her black grape-like eyes full of radiant light, her delicate cheeks flushed like clouds: "Brother Mo, are you okay?"

"Well, thanks for the paper and pen."

"Brother Mo, you are too polite. I am glad to be able to help you." The girl looked at the young man intently and met his gaze.

Chen Mo pulled her in front of him, eyes full of tenderness, held Xiao Ya's little face and kissed her.

Xiao Ya felt something soften on her lips, warm and soft. It was just a light touch, but a strange feeling went straight to her heart.

"Brother Mo kissed me again."

Xiao Ya's face was burning hot. This was not the first time the girl was kissed. She felt that this time was even more passionate than the last time. She didn't know where to put her helpless hands. She felt like she was suffocating and shivered. Her whole body began to heat up, her head was dizzy, and she couldn't help but clamp her legs together, rubbing her legs slightly.

Suddenly I felt my skirt being lifted up, and a pair of warm hands covered my buttocks.

Xiao Ya's little head was buzzing as if it was about to explode. She pushed Chen Mo twice weakly. Chen Mo's lips parted just in time to breathe. Xiao Ya took the opportunity to say, "Brother Mo, don't."

Chen Mo stroked the millstone and looked into Xiao Ya's eyes: "Don't you like Brother Mo?"

"Ah, no." Fearing that Chen Mo would misunderstand her, Xiao Ya quickly explained, then lowered her head and whispered with a flushed face, "Brother Mo, it's still daytime, and I... I haven't even entered the house yet."

"Don't be afraid, I will..." Chen Mo grabbed Xiao Ya's wrist, and the two looked at each other.

She was a little shy, scared, and also a little expectant.

Her eyes were evasive and her trembling lips showed that she was breathing rapidly. Chen Mo slowly approached and kissed her again.

……

Boliu Kingdom. A 200-mile long, gourd-like island sits on the vast ocean, with white waves surging and hundreds of ships with high masts docked densely on the shore.

On the shore, the people of the Kingdom of Boliu held up baskets woven with vines on their heads, excitedly waiting for the people on the boat to come down and exchange goods with them.

The baskets were filled with colorful, crystal clear gems. To the people of Boliu, these were just ordinary stones, and there were plenty of them on the island.

If these stones could be exchanged for cloth, celadon plates and bowls, and tea on the ship, it would be a very worthwhile deal.

There were also soldiers sent by the Kingdom of Boliu on the shore to maintain order.

However, none of these soldiers wore armor or even shoes. They were barefoot. The only weapon in their hands was a sharp blade tied to a wooden stick.

They watched the ship approaching, not only without any alertness, but also with great joy.

Because every time a fleet arrived, the people on the ship would give them generous gifts.

They thought this time was no exception and waved enthusiastically to greet Zhang Feng on the boat.

They knew Zhang Feng.

However, as the fleet came to a stop on the shore, the soldiers were responded by arrows carrying death.

In an instant, all the Boliu soldiers on the shore were shot and killed by the archers on the ship, and even many civilians were affected.

For a moment, there was chaos on the shore, and people fled in all directions, throwing away their baskets.

“Go to the island.”

Zhang Feng gave the order.

The decks were lowered one by one, and the Nangong troops on the warships poured down one by one. They were well-trained, armed with bows and arrows, spears, round shields, and some were even wearing iron armor.

Soon, more than 8,000 soldiers gathered on the island.

"Our mission this time is to educate them, so we will go straight to the capital of the Kingdom of Boliu and capture their king alive. We will try to end the battle as quickly as possible and kill as few civilians as possible." Zhang Feng said.

"Yes." Everyone responded in unison.

Zhang Feng stood on the shore, looking at the seagulls flying across the sky from time to time. The salty sea breeze blew on his face. Then his eyes turned cold, and he looked straight at everyone and said, "Attack."

The Kingdom of Boliu was discovered by Zhongzhou during the reign of Emperor Taizu of the Song Dynasty. Although dynasties before the Song Dynasty had many voyages to the sea, this tiny island had never been discovered.

Because it is too far away from Zhongzhou, in order to reach Zhongzhou, one needs to pass through several dangerous sea areas. In the dynasties before the Song Dynasty, navigation technology was not so advanced.

Compared with Zhongzhou, the military level of the Boliu Kingdom is still in an uncivilized stage. If we follow Chen Mo's words, it is far inferior to that of the Warring States Period of Lianpenji, and is truly at the level of a village brawl.

In fact, the country of Boliu only really began to have a "history" of cultivation after it came into contact with the Song Dynasty.

Therefore, there are very few warriors on the island.

Faced with the invasion led by the top-grade warrior Zhang Feng, the country of Boliu had no power to resist at all. In less than half a month, they were defeated by the Nangong army and driven out of the royal capital.

At this rate, nothing unexpected will happen.

In less than a month, the Kingdom of Boliu was destroyed by Zhang Feng.

……

July 20th, the first year of Yong'an.

Jiangnan, Yangzhou, the Xiao family ancestral home.

On the bed in the master bedroom of the villa, Yue Ruyan sat in Chen Mo's arms, and Chen Mo stroked her beautiful legs in stockings.

These stockings belong to Xiao Yunxi, and Chen Mo put them on Yue Ruyan.

Yue Ruyan had very long legs, which were put together in black stockings. They were slender yet well-proportioned, and her calves were hard, the muscles a female general should have. Her toes were wrapped in stockings, giving her a hazy beauty.

Chen Mo couldn't help but pinch it twice.

"Are you done yet?" Yue Ruyan breathed softly.

Chen Mo ignored Yue Ruyan's words and stroked every inch of skin on his beautiful legs in stockings.

Although Yue Ruyan said this, her body really enjoyed Chen Mo's touch, and her soul felt even happier.

Chen Mo kissed her neck, caressed her beautiful legs in stockings, explored the beautiful mountains and rivers, and whispered in her ear: "I have been wandering around Qinhuai these days, which has delayed my cultivation. Recently, I have touched the opportunity for a breakthrough. Ruyan, you have to help me."

Yue Ruyan, whose body was about to turn into a pile of mud, suddenly perked up and blurted out subconsciously: "What, you are going to break through again?"

How could Yue Ruyan not be shocked? How old was he? A little over 23 years old at most, and he was already a martial artist at the supernatural power realm.

This speed of cultivation is unprecedented and will probably never be surpassed.

If he breaks through again, he will reach the second level of divine transformation.

23 years old, in the state of divine transformation.

Oh my God, is this still the world she lives in?
"I have been in the Divine Power Realm for more than two years. It is not surprising that I have just encountered the opportunity to break through now."

Chen Mo hugged Yue Ruyan and turned around, letting her face him, then bent down and kissed the corner of her mouth.

Yue Ruyan also hugged Chen Mo's neck. This action had become her instinct. She said unhappily, "Do you know what you are talking about?

Some people remain as middle-grade warriors their entire lives and can never reach the upper-grade level. If it weren't for the special nature of the Yue family's bloodline and the old lady passing on skills to me, I don't know when I would be able to reach the upper-grade level.

Take the Xiao family head and the Wu family head I met in Huaizhou for example. They have been at the third rank for at least ten years. How long have you been here? From what you said, two years is too much?"

"It's been a while." Chen Mo took off Yue Ruyan's dress, revealing her shoulders, collarbones, and the bellyband under her collarbones.

"So obedient." Seeing that she no longer covered her chest, Chen Mo kissed her collarbone with satisfaction.

Yue Ruyan blushed and said nothing.

"By the way, do you have any martial arts that can resist or reduce poison?" Chen Mo thought of something and said.

If you can train yourself to have a body that is immune to all poisons, then when you are invited to a banquet by strangers, you won't have to worry about not being able to eat.

Yue Ruyan shook her head and said, "I don't have it, but I heard there is a kind of poison skill. To practice it, you need to fight poison with poison, eat all kinds of poisons, and endure the bites of thousands of poisonous creatures. When you have mastered it, you will be immune to all poisons. However, those who practice this kind of poison skill will not live long."

Chen Mo put his hands around Yue Ruyan's back, untied the straps of her bellyband, and said, "Forget it then."

"Oh, by the way, I heard from my mother that there is a poisonous insect in Baiyue called Taoji Gu, which is also the king of all poisonous insects. As long as you hold it, not only can you be immune to all poisons and make poisonous insects retreat away, but its blood can also prolong your life and beautify your skin." Yue Ruyan suddenly thought of something and said.

"Taogui Gu?"

Chen Mo paused and said, "There is such a thing? Where is Baiyue? Is it the territory of the Song Dynasty?"

Yue Ruyan shook her head: "Baiyue is a small country, and it is a poisonous land. For thousands of years, no one has looked down on this place. It is connected with Shufu..."

Before he could even utter the word "boundary", Chen Mo plunged into the broad arms.

Chen Mo said vaguely: "If there is a chance in the future, I can go to Baiyue. Is this Taoji Gu very rare?"

"It is rare, so each one needs to be carefully nurtured. In addition, young Taoji Gu are very picky about the environment and are extremely difficult to survive."
