Ulay saw that now at least they were getting along on the surface, and he didn't have to feel awkward following these two around him every day.
"Shen Liuzhen, can you do archery? Let's have a competition?" Ulei smiled and pointed to the shooting range next to him.
"The common people will meet, but they are not good at it. They can't compare with the two of them." Shen Liuzhen lowered his head and said.
Ulay smiled, took the bow from the hand of the shooting range attendant on the side, pulled the bow string in his hand and tried it twice, and asked: "Are you being modest in everyday life, or are you serious?"
"It's true that I am the direct grandson of the emperor. I have never been very talented in martial arts."
"Aren't you the son of a military commander?"
"Yes... maybe he was reincarnated in the wrong person." Shen Liuzhen said calmly.
This sentence even made He'an laugh, but he felt unwilling to do so, so he quickly put on a straight face and pretended that nothing happened.
Ulei looked at Shen Liuzhen with a smile and said:
"I don't believe it. Shoot one and show me. Bowing and arrows are not martial arts training after all. It's not that difficult. As long as you hit the target, I will reward you with two sets of fur quilts today. How about it?"
Shen Liuzhen looked at Ulei with bright eyes, reached out and took the bow he handed over, and said with an expectant look:
"My grandson, if you hit the target as promised, forget it, but don't go back on your word."
Ulay said "hmm" with some confusion.
Shen Liuzhen became more energetic, picked up the arrow handed to him by the little eunuch next to him, stood up properly, picked up the arrow, took aim, and then let go of the string with a bang.
I saw that the arrow barely stuck on the edge of the target and almost didn't fly out.
Ulei frowned when he saw his results, but Shen Liuzhen was already cheering beside him:
"It's hit... Did you see it? I hit it. Don't forget my reward, grandson of the emperor. Winter is coming, and the common people have nothing, but they are counting on the quilt given by the grandson of the emperor to survive the winter."
Ulay looked at him speechlessly as he jumped around, folded his arms, and asked:
"Shen Liuzhen...are you waiting for me here? How dare you call this a hit? It's half a target away from the center of aim?"
Shen Liuzhen calmed down his excitement, held the bow dejectedly and said, "...can't you just think that I've won? If I can hit the bull's-eye, I won't say that I'm not good at it."
"Ha..." Ulay sneered and said, "I'll give you another chance, shoot well, aim a little and let go."
Shen Liuzhen scratched his face and took another arrow from the young eunuch's hand. Before he even lifted the bow, he said pitifully:
"I'd like to, but I'm not capable enough."
Then I saw him pulling the bow, raising it level, his arms trembling, and the arrow went out with a "whoosh" sound.
This time, he knew that the arrow had already flown out of the target without looking at the result. Ulei suddenly felt a little sore... He turned his head dissatisfied, his eyes flashed sharply, and asked Shen Liuzhen:
"Did you do it on purpose?!"
"No, no, no... I still want those two fur quilts! But this bow and arrow are a bit hard, so it's really hard for me." Shen Liuzhen said with a grimace.
Ulei came over, grabbed the bow from his hand, and neatly took the arrow from behind, held the arrow, aimed, let go, and with a "swish" sound, the arrow was stuck not far from the target.
Turning his head, Shen Liuzhen raised his hands and clapped innocently. For a moment, he didn't know where his anger came from, and he couldn't express it.
He was stunned for a moment and then said angrily: "Didn't I tell you to aim a little longer?! Wouldn't you aim a little longer and relax so casually?"
"My arm strength is not good and the bow is stiff. If I hold it for a long time, it will start to tremble. I might as well let go from the beginning... This is what A Yuan taught me at that time. I could barely pass the test, otherwise I would have been killed by my father. Beaten to death."
When Shen Liuzhen talked about "A Yuan", his lively expression just now quickly calmed down, his face was as dark as water, and he looked at the arrow target in the distance in silence.
It was as if there was another person living in his body. This person named A Yuan was the mechanism that summoned his other soul.
Ulay looked at him, stretched out his hand, and someone handed another bow to his hand. He drew the arrow, aimed and shot, and this time the arrow hit the red heart.
He looked at his results with satisfaction and asked, "Is the A-Yuan you mentioned good at archery?"
Shen Liuzhen turned his eyes, immersed in memories, and sighed:
"Awesome... She is extremely talented. As long as it is related to martial arts, she is very good at it. My father often praises her and wishes she was his son."
Ulei smiled after hearing this and said: "If he is really as powerful as you say, you call him here and I will make him a general."
When Shen Liuzhen heard this, his frustration became more obvious. He held the bow in his hand, raised it again, and tried his best to shoot an arrow out. He pursed his lips and asked:
"My grandson, tell me, in this vast sea of ​​people, is there any way to find a person who has not been heard from?"
Ulay sighed and said: "...It's difficult, unless he comes to you in turn."
When Shen Liuzhen heard this, grief and worry surged in his eyes. He looked at the target and remained silent for a long time as if he was frozen.
After a while, he exhaled, swept away the gloomy atmosphere in his heart, regained his energy, gritted his teeth, raised his bow and shot an arrow, and said:
"Then I'll wait... I'll wait for her to come to me."
As soon as he finished speaking, the arrow flew out from his hand. This time, it was only two circles away from the target!
Shen Liuzhen was dumbfounded and shouted directly:
"Oh my god!...This is the best result I have ever achieved since learning archery!"
His big eyes looked at Ulei who was not far away with a pleading look, "The grandson of the emperor... Why don't you reward me with those two sets of fur quilts. Look! It's really not easy..."
He raised his arm to show Ulay, his fingers shaking like chaff.
He An on the other side couldn't help but sneered, with a look of disdain on his face.
Ulei was also speechless, and said somewhat pitifully: "Here you go... I'll have someone take you to your room in a moment."
…
…
After a big war, the number of people who wanted to write home to report that they were safe increased sharply. Xie Yuan naturally took on the responsibility of writing letters for people in the team.
Many people even heard that Xie Yuan's calligraphy was particularly beautiful, and even came from other teams to ask her to write it specially.
Just like that, after finishing her morning practice, she sat outside the tent, listened to the dictation, and then wrote. She continued writing all afternoon, and it was already dark when she wrote.
The last person took the letter paper, stood up from his seat, looked at the words on it and sighed: "Oh my goodness, these words are so neat and beautiful, just like printed blocks with movable type. Captain Jie Wu! You can be the one." Soldiers are really inferior to their talents!"
Xie Yuan rubbed his sore wrist, pulled his cheeks and forced a smile and said, "As long as you are satisfied."
She couldn't help but sigh in her heart, her father's only requirement for her was that she could use her skills and not lose the Xie family.
But what he required from Shen Liuzhen was to have knowledge of the past and the present, to be erudite and knowledgeable, and to be quick in thinking...
Good handwriting is obviously the minimum requirement, but unexpectedly, in their eyes, it has become a good thing.
