Start practicing archery

Chapter 32: Exquisite Jade Box
barracks.

Chen Sanshi got familiar with his subordinates.

Starting tomorrow, they will officially start "working".

As for the content of the work.

Wang Zhi was not there. No one knew where he had gone. Instead, Captain Liu came over and explained it to him very carefully.

The more than ninety people under Captain Wang were mainly responsible for the garrison work in the "seven parts of farming and three parts of garrison".

In the morning, they will be in the military camp, practicing battle formations together. Wuzu also need to participate in this before they can be promoted. In the afternoon, they will go to the Great Wall for lookout, or they may be sent to patrol the county town.

The soldiers stationed there trained for half a day and worked for half a day.

Only military officers have relatively more freedom.

Most of the time can be used for cultivation.

"The wolf smoke rises and the horn sounds."

Captain Liu pointed to the sky in the north and said, "If you see black smoke rising, it means that the barbarians are invading. Everyone needs to assemble immediately. However, we haven't seen wolf smoke rising in this place for many years.

"Also, don't you have a place to live yet?"

Chen Sanshi nodded: "When I joined the army, the manager told me that there were no extra houses."

"There are none for ordinary soldiers, but there are still a few houses for military officers. Come with me."

Captain Liu led the way in front.

In the military settlement, most of the houses are as simple as those in Yanbian Village, mainly made of mud and bricks.

However, after walking two miles west and arriving at where the military officers lived, the scene became completely new. There were single-family courtyards made of blue bricks and solid wood, some large and some small, divided according to different levels.

"Isn't this a house that only a hundred households can live in?"

Stopping in front of a two-story building, Chen Sanshi said, "Isn't it appropriate for me to be a small flag?"

"What's inappropriate about that? You might become a centurion soon."

Captain Liu said, "Besides, it's empty anyway. The captain won't care. Even if he knows, he will just turn a blind eye."

"to make."

Chen Sanshi understood that he was being asked to do him a favor, so he did not refuse.

Firstly, he had to run back and forth between the military camp and Yanbian Village all day, which was not only troublesome but also wasted precious time.

Secondly, the living environment at home is really simple. Moving to a better house would also make Sister Lan's life more comfortable.

Chen Sanshi borrowed a horse-drawn carriage carrying food and fodder from the military camp and moved back to Yanbian Village.

"Shi Tou, you really are an official?!"

"Of course. They moved on horseback."

"Once you become an official, you will never pay attention to us again!"

"What Baldy said this time is still possible."

"..."

When Chen Sanshi first drove his carriage into the village, the villagers were happy to watch the fun, but gradually, the smiles on their faces disappeared.

Be an official.

This means that we are no longer the same kind of people as them.

"Uncles and aunts, you are joking. I am just a small flag without even a rank. How can I be considered an official?"

Chen Sanshi didn't know what to say.

There weren't many things in the house, just a few quilts, pots and pans, and the like. Even the carriage seemed a little redundant.

"This house is quite nice."

When she arrived at the new house, Gu Xinlan was very happy and started busy cleaning up.

Chen Sanshi was not idle. He ate up the last two pounds of braised bear meat in the house and practiced his shooting skills in the yard.

After developing qi and blood.

The effect of bear meat has become far less than before.

It is just like eating ordinary livestock before developing Qi and blood.

[Effect: Swift gun power, amazing endurance]

In one afternoon, the progress was only increased by twenty points.

"It seems that I still need to buy some tonic food like bear heart."

"And there are also medicine soups!"

As a flag officer, Chen Sanshi can receive a bowl of blood-replenishing soup every three days, but he doesn't know how effective it is.

He looked up at the sky and found that it was already dusk. At this time, the people in the pharmacy should not be decocting medicine.

Since he had nothing to do, he just sat there and flipped through a book.

It’s still the previous “The Book of Great Sheng”.

When reading about the great-grandfather of the current emperor, he mentioned that he loved designing things and had invented many ingenious objects. Among them was a wooden box specifically used to transmit information, named Linglong Jade Box.

This box contains a mechanism that must be opened with a specific jade key, otherwise it will burn from the inside out and destroy the information.

However, it was lost after the emperor's death.

“Isn’t this the box in my hand?”

Chen Sanshi was glad that he did not use brute force to destroy it, otherwise he would have lost the treasure.

……

The next day.

Finally, Chen Sanshi no longer had to travel a long distance. After breakfast, he took a walk to the military camp. He first practiced archery and then practiced shooting.

After estimating that the time was about right, he went to find Xu Bin.

It was fate that Xu Bin was also under the command of Wang Zhi. However, he looked around for several times and didn't see him, so he had to ask other flag officers.

"Old Xu? Yesterday afternoon, I saw Captain Wang beat him up, and I haven't seen him since."

"Captain Wang?"

Chen Sanshi was stunned.

He reacted.

The reason why Captain Wang chose Xu Bin during the competition yesterday was most likely because he wanted him to let him win.

“That’s not necessary.”

Chen Sanshi was speechless.

If we really let them go, it would not benefit either of them.

He asked about Xu Bin's residence and then went there.

……

"Binzi, you are so confused!"

Old Xu came from the city today to give an old hen to his pregnant daughter-in-law. As soon as he entered the door, he saw a huge slap mark on his son's face.

Normally Xu Bin would go to the military camp to practice early in the morning, but today he was still motionless until almost noon.

He knew something was wrong as soon as he saw it.

Only after being forced to question did I learn the whole story.

"Xiao Shitou is our fellow villager. If he becomes famous in the future, it will only benefit you!
"How could you kill him? He deserves to be beaten!"

Xu Bin lowered his head and said nothing.

In fact, it was a dilemma from the moment he was selected for the test.

If he really lets him go, won't the captain see it?
If he doesn't release the water, he will offend Captain Wang.

The only good result is to be looked at with respect by Lord Qianhu.

The result is obvious, he ended up in the worst possible situation.

After coming down, Wang Zhi found a random excuse to slap him in the face, and told him to pay twenty taels of silver, otherwise he would beat him every time he saw him.

All his salary was used for martial arts training, and with daily expenses, there was nothing left. Where did he get twenty taels of silver?
"Go find the little stone."

Old Xu urged, "Hurry up, apologize to Xiao Shitou and ask him to help you settle the matter!"

"Dad, it's useless."

How could Xu Bin have the face to do that?

During the competition, he was fighting to the death.

Swords and knives have no eyes, and you might actually draw blood.

It would be good enough if people didn't make things difficult for him in the future, but how could they possibly speak up for him?

"Bang bang bang-"

A knock on the door interrupted the conversation between father and son.

Then, a warm and gentle voice sounded.

"Is Brother Bin at home? It's me, Chen Sanshi."
