Eternal Sword

Chapter 62: Stealing the Bow
Chen Tang was leading the horse, but he was not in a hurry to leave the city.

Instead, he went to the restaurant first and bought some cooked meat and a pot of good wine.

The horse was a little depressed when it left its original home, but when it saw Chen Tang bringing out wine and meat, its eyes suddenly brightened up and it became more energetic.

To be honest, Chen Tang was somewhat skeptical about the fact that horses could eat meat and drink alcohol.

He took a piece of cooked meat and put it next to the ugly horse's mouth.

The ugly horse didn't even sniff it, turned its head away and refused to eat, but kept stealing glances at the wine jug in Chen Tang's hand.

What do you mean?
Do you need a drink first?

Chen Tang took a large bowl, poured out a full bowl of wine, and handed it to Chou Ma's mouth.

The ugly horse immediately became alert. It put its mouth directly into the bowl and slurped up the whole bowl of wine in just a few gulps.

Then, without waiting for Chen Tang to feed him, Ugly Horse took the cooked meat from Chen Tang's hand in one bite, chewed it slowly, and squinted his eyes slightly, as if the whole world was beautiful.

"You'll enjoy it."

Chen Tang smiled and patted the horse's neck, saying, "Your previous master is dead, and staying in that house is just a waste of time. Staying with me may not make you famous, but I will never treat you unfairly. If I have a sip of wine, you will have to drink it too."

The ugly horse seemed to understand what Chen Tang said and raised its head deliberately.

Chen Tang said, "I don't know what your name was before, how about I call you Hu Lei Bao from now on?"

After saying that, Chen Tang poured it another bowl of wine.

The ugly horse drank another large bowl of water and snorted, but it was unclear whether he agreed or not.

The pot of wine was finished in a flash.

Hu Leibao was still not satisfied with his drink and wanted to bite the wine gourd on Chen Tang's waist.

Chen Tang slapped it away and scolded it with a smile: "You beast, you have a sharp nose, and you are still thinking about my monkey wine."

"I can't let you drink anymore today, lest you make mistakes."

Chen Tang led Hu Leibao towards the east gate, and attracted a lot of attention along the way.

"Isn't that the horse from Old Ma's house?"

"It looks like it's sold. It's not easy."

"Lao Ma finally caught a foreigner and tricked him, haha."

The guards at the city gate saw Hu Leibao and recognized him at a glance, and chatted with him with a smile.

After all, the appearance of this horse is so unique that it is unforgettable.

A guard asked with a smile: "Why are you leaving the city, little brother?"

Chen Tang said, "Just practice riding outside the city and come back soon."

Another guard warned: "There is no saddle on the horse. If you are a novice, you must be careful not to get thrown off."

Chen Tang responded vaguely and led Hu Leibao out of the city.

After leaving the city, Chen Tang jumped onto the horse's back, clamped his legs around the horse's belly, tapped his heels lightly, and shook the reins.

Hu Leibao spread his hooves and ran along the official road.

There were lead blocks tied to his body, and Hu Leibao was still running very fast even with a weight of nearly 400 kilograms!
Chen Tang had never ridden a horse before, but after practicing martial arts for three months, he had a solid foundation and quickly mastered the skills.

After running for about a few miles, Chen Tang stopped, got off the official road, and walked towards a dense forest in the distance.

I was running on the official road just now, so the feeling wasn't too strong.

After getting off the official road, Hu Leibao walked on the snow. Facing the complex terrain on both sides, he climbed mountains and crossed ridges as if he was walking on flat ground, and only then did his extraordinary qualities appear!

In a blink of an eye, they arrived at the dense forest.

At this time, it was getting dark and the city gates were about to close.

Chen Tang dismounted, tied the reins to a big tree, and said, "Wait for me here. I will come to find you in about an hour or two. Do you understand?"

He had to return to Wu'an County and let the guards see him return to the city.

Chen Tang gave some instructions and turned to leave.

But just as he raised his foot, he saw the Hu Leibao suddenly bit the corner of his clothes, pitiful, with a trace of grievance in his eyes. Chen Tang understood at a glance, patted its neck and comforted it: "I don't want to abandon you, I will come to you later. When the time comes, you will accompany me to do an important thing!"

This time, Hu Leibao seemed to understand and let go of the corner of Chen Tang's clothes.

Chen Tang turned around and headed towards Wu'an County.

……

"Look, isn't this the boy who just left the city?"

The guards at the east gate raised their eyes and saw Chen Tang, who looked dejected, walking back.

One of the guards asked with a stifling smile, "Where's your horse, little brother?"

Chen Tang remained silent.

"You must have fallen badly. I told you to be careful."

"The horse is lost too? You don't have to worry about that. The city gates are about to close. Once the gates open tomorrow morning, the horse will know that it has come back. You just need to keep an eye on it."

When the guards saw that Chen Tang was still covered in snow, they guessed what had happened.

Chen Tang said nothing, just bowed and entered the city.

"This is because he was thrown down and felt aggrieved. He is full of resentment, haha!"

Several guards made a few more sarcastic remarks.

After Chen Tang entered the city, he returned to the inn, said hello to Mei Yingxue and the others, then went back to his room, closed his eyes and rested, thinking about tonight's plans in his mind, quietly waiting for the night to fall.

About an hour later, it was getting dark.

Chen Tang took off the lead blocks on his body, changed into black clothes, tied the long sword around his waist, and went out normally.

It was not yet curfew, and there were still many pedestrians on the street. If they behaved too cautiously and furtively, it would arouse suspicion if someone saw them.

Chen Tang walked towards the East Market.

Without the lead weight, he felt extremely relaxed and could walk very fast!

Chen Tang did not go to the city wall immediately, but took a detour and slowly approached the East Market Parade Ground from a small path.

At this time, the parade ground had already been closed, there were guards at the gate and soldiers patrolling around.

Chen Tang took out the mask from his arms and put it on. When a group of soldiers just passed by, he quietly came to the wall on the side of the parade ground and put his palms on the wall. There seemed to be a huge suction force.

He twisted his body and quickly climbed over the wall and entered the training ground.

It was quiet inside, with no one around.

Chen Tang came to the strong bow, picked up the three-stone bow first, exerted strength with his arms slightly, and pulled it open easily.

Chen Tang put it down again and came directly to the front of Wu Shi Gong. He took a deep breath, spread his feet slightly apart to the width of his shoulders, and exerted force on his arms, shoulders, back and chest muscles at the same time!

In an instant, all his muscles swelled up, shining with a bronze glow!

The five-stone bow was also slowly stretched out by him, and finally reached the full moon state!
At least in terms of strength, he has reached the ninth level!
But the copper layer on the skin has not faded yet.

Chen Tang came to the parade ground not out of curiosity for testing, but mainly to steal the bow!
A crossbow was enough for him.

But tonight's matter cannot afford to fail, so Chen Tang decided to use a stronger bow!
Chen Tang tried it and carried the three-stone bow on his back.

Generally speaking, even if a warrior of the ninth or eighth rank had the strength to draw a bow of five or six stones, in reality he would only use a bow of one stone.

It’s like many people can lift objects weighing one or two hundred kilograms, but the weapons they use only weigh a few kilograms.

If it weighs more than ten kilograms, it will be difficult for ordinary people to use it smoothly and effortlessly.

Chen Tang doesn't need to shoot too many arrows.

One arrow, two arrows at most.

But this arrow must be able to kill someone, without any accidents!
He could only barely draw the five-stone bow but was unable to shoot arrows.

Three crossbows are just right.
