On the ninth day after Li Ye came to Nanyun City, under a moonlit night, he shot his first arrow in his life.

There was no earth-shattering sound, just like setting off a firecracker in the dark night.

Just when Li Ye was surprised, in the square a hundred and forty feet away from him, the wooden man pile collapsed into the snow without making any movement.

Just because the snow is too thick.

Putting down his sword, Li Ye quickly ran to the wooden dummy and looked down at the wooden dummy lying on the ground with a big hole in his chest caused by an iron arrow. He couldn't help but open his mouth.

It was also his first time to test fire. He didn't expect that he could pierce the chest with an arrow from a distance of 140 feet. You must know that this wooden man stake was made of hard iron wood.

He picked up the wooden dummy and looked back in the direction of the arrow path. He saw an iron arrow that had passed through the wooden dummy lying quietly in the snow about five feet away.

Li Ye stepped forward to pick it up and put it in his hand to look at it carefully.

Li Ye was shocked again when he saw that except for the arrowhead part, which was polished and shiny, the iron arrow had not deformed, meaning it could still shoot another arrow.

Arrows that can be recycled are unique in the Five Regions. At least one of the fifty iron arrows he forged himself was shot.

Moreover, it was on the mountain stream opposite the cave behind Xuantian Temple, and he hadn't had time to take a closer look.

As long as the battlefield is cleaned, there is a chance to recover the fired iron arrows. Even if there is only half the chance, it is an amazing discovery. Li Ye couldn't help but laugh.

It was half past midnight in the square of the City Lord's Mansion, and it was unusually quiet. Only his giggling voice lingered in the snow.

...

"National Master, come here." Watching Li Ye walk out of the room, the eldest prince standing on the main square of the palace waved to Li Ye.

"Master Marshal." Li Ye cupped his hands towards the eldest prince from a distance.

"Did you shoot the wound on the wooden mannequin last night?" The eldest prince looked at Li Ye and asked, pointing to the wooden mannequin in the snow.

"Marshal, what's wrong?" Li Ye walked to the eldest prince and asked.

"Of course there is. If this was caused by the imperial master last night, it would be too scary. Even our most powerful archers don't have this lethality." The eldest prince said while stroking the wound of the wooden mannequin.

"Well, I happened to have a successful fitting test last night, so I did a test shot. Would you like to try it, the eldest prince? The slave is in my room." Li Ye said.

"Hurry up and give it a try. Master National Preceptor has something good, but you have to give it to me first. Although your weapon map is very precious, we are all our own people, don't you think so?"

The eldest prince looked at Li Ye and said, "That means you don't have to be polite, please give me a hand quickly."

"Marshal, what are you talking about? I have received favors from the emperor, so I should reciprocate them." Li Ye was stunned for a moment, not knowing what the eldest prince meant now.

The two of them walked towards Li Ye's room while talking. At this time, Mu Mu, who loved to sleep in, had already finished washing and went out, and was about to take Li Ye to find something to eat.

Li Ye handed the assembled handgun to the eldest prince, put the iron arrow on it, and said with a smile: "This is the first one among the five domains. I originally wanted to give it to my husband. Since the marshal likes it, I will give it to him first."

I’ve given it to you, do you want to try it?”

"That's natural. Come on, let me shoot an arrow and try it." The eldest prince said as he walked out of the house with his sword in hand.

Mu Mu, who was rubbing her eyes, looked at the hand slave in the eldest prince's hand, and her eyes suddenly lit up.

He came up and pulled Li Ye and said, "Brother, give this guy a hand too! Hurry up."

Li Ye patted her hand and said, "Don't make trouble, let's take care of the marshal first!" After saying that, he looked at the eldest prince walking into the snow and aimed at the wooden man stake in the square.

However, to the disappointment of Li Ye and Mu Mu, the first arrow shot by the eldest prince flew over the head of the wooden mannequin, causing Mu Mu to giggle, clapped his hands and said: "Generalissimo, you are

My archery skills are not good."

Li Ye didn't expect that the eldest prince couldn't shoot arrows, so he had to say: "Marshal, you raised the sword too high, lower it a little next time."

Before the eldest prince could say anything, a guard ran over, picked up the iron arrow that had been shot away, and handed it to the eldest prince.

The eldest prince looked at Li Ye and Mu Mu and nodded thoughtfully.

He reloaded the iron arrows and aimed at the wooden man stake in front again. Following Li Ye's method, he lowered the aiming line of the slave.

Just hearing a "buzz" sound, the iron arrow flew away from the string. In an instant, the wooden man pile in the distance fell into the snow.

"The Generalissimo is good at archery!" Mu Mu exclaimed, clapping her hands.

"Oh!" the eldest prince roared, holding the slave and ran towards the square.

Li Ye followed Mu Mu and walked behind. At this time, the city lord Yang Kaiyi and the guard Ma Feihu also came over.

Looking at the eldest prince in the square, he turned to look at Li Yebu and said, "National Master, what is going on?" As he said this, he walked in the direction of the eldest prince.

One hundred and forty feet away, Li Ye and Mu Mu arrived not long after walking.

Looking at the excited eldest prince, Mu Mu asked: "Generalissimo, isn't this guy designed by my brother very powerful?"

"More than that, Mu Mu, you don't even understand how useful the weapon map designed by the Imperial Master is to the dynasty. I can't estimate how heavy the weapon is. This hand slave alone will definitely make all the tribes in the grassland feel frightened!"

The eldest prince looked at Mu Mu and said.

Mu Mu and Li Ye looked at the wooden dummy that had fallen in the snow. There was a big hole under the chest. In the snow not far from the wooden dummy, a black iron arrow lay quietly.

Li Ye walked over and picked it up, putting it in his hand for a closer look. He saw that the arrowhead had been polished even brighter, but it already had obvious blunt marks.

"It seems that an iron arrow made of this material can only be shot twice at most. The third time it will have to be recast!" Sighing softly, Li Ye handed over the iron arrow in his hand.

The eldest prince.

At this time Yang Kaiyi and Ma Feihu had already walked over.

The two of them looked at the wooden man pile that fell in the snow and the dagger in the eldest prince's hand, and asked in surprise: "With such great lethality, the distance must be one hundred and fifty feet, right?"

Hearing this, the eldest prince raised his head and looked at Li Ye.

Li Ye looked at the three of them and smiled, saying: "It's not that exaggerated. One hundred and forty feet. One hundred and thirty feet on the battlefield has absolute lethality!"

"I want one too, brother, give it to Mu Mu quickly!" Mu Mu, with an excited face, pulled Li Ye's sleeve reluctantly and kept yelling.

"One hundred and thirty feet... absolute lethality?" Yang Kaiyi was stunned for a moment and said in surprise.

"How's it going? Are you satisfied?" Li Ye looked at the eldest prince and said.

Completely different from the sad look on his face the previous two days, the eldest prince had a satisfied smile on his face, but he soon regained his composure.

Looking at Li Ye, he smiled and said, "I don't know how my father wants to reward the Imperial Master. In my opinion, it is appropriate for the Imperial Master to gain any great merits and wealth. On behalf of the soldiers of Nanyun City, I would like to express my highest gratitude to the Imperial Master."

of respect!”

Yang Kaiyi and Ma Feihu squatted down, touched the smooth wounds of the wooden dummy, and said in surprise: "This puppet is really powerful. Isn't it an exaggeration to say it is a divine weapon?"

"With such a distance, such a killing distance, even the toughest bows and arrows of the prairie warriors cannot have such lethality!"

Ma Feihu had fought against the tribes of Huiyuan before and knew the lethality of his opponent's bows and arrows.

"Of course, don't you think about who my brother's apprentice is?" Mu Mu said proudly.

When Li Ye heard this, he couldn't help but glare at her.

Mu Mu looked at it and quickly covered her mouth. She knew that there were some things that she couldn't elaborate on here.

"This first slave will be given to the marshal. The palace master and General Ma will have to wait for a few more days. In a few more days, I will go out with my sister to walk outside the three towns and take a look at the terrain.

.”

With the weapons issue resolved, Li Ye thought about going to meet with people from various grassland tribes.

"How is that possible? The National Advisor is a person who has made outstanding contributions to the dynasty and the army. You must not go to the three towns alone. Even if you want to go, please ask the general to bring a group of soldiers to follow the National Advisor to protect him.

"

Ma Feihu became anxious when he heard that Li Ye was going to Three Towns alone.

"General Ma is right. At this time, the Imperial Guard must not go out alone."

The eldest prince thought for a while and frowned. In his eyes, Li Ye was simply a national treasure of the dynasty and nothing could go wrong.

"I'm just going to have a look, and I'm not leading an army to fight. Even if I encounter enemy soldiers and they can't defeat me, it won't be a problem for me to run away. Besides, I have my sister to protect me... There are so many people going, it's inconvenient.

.”

Li Ye shook his head and said.

"That's right, I will protect my brother. Generalissimo, don't worry. We won't even take Brother Nalan with us. We will let him stay here to help supervise the work and produce more weapons."

Mu Mu patted her chest and said proudly.

Yang Kaiyi looked at Li Ye, then at the eldest prince, and sighed in embarrassment.

"The National Preceptor has a delicate mind. Since I insist, I have no choice but to do this. However, I also ask the National Preceptor to bring our army's signal flares and set them off if there is danger. I will ask General Feihu to lead a team of troops to meet you from a distance, otherwise I will

I will never let the Imperial Master personally go into danger."

The eldest prince thought for a moment, frowned and said...

"Since the marshal is so insistent, let's do what you want." Li Ye reached out and gave the eldest prince a slap in the face.

Ma Feihu nodded, looked at the two of them, patted his chest and said: "General, I promise that I will never disturb the actions of the national division, and will resolutely complete the tasks assigned by the marshal!"

Li Ye smiled, took Mu Mu's hand, looked at the three of them and said, "This big problem has finally been partially solved. I haven't had a stable meal in the past few days... Find a place quickly."

Filling your stomach is the right thing to do.”

"Mu Mu is also about to starve to death. The Generalissimo invites Mu Mu to eat the best food in Nanyun City. I want to eat a lot of meat and a lot of snacks..."

When she saw Li Ye complaining about hunger, Mu Mu naturally wouldn't miss the opportunity.

The eldest prince was stunned, looked at the two of them and laughed, handed the sword to Ma Feihu, patted the snow in his hand, and said: "Of course, I have to invite the imperial master to eat delicious food, and ask the master of the palace to lead the way.

Condolences to sister Mumu!"

"It has been prepared for a long time! Just wait for the Imperial Master to speak." Yang Kaiyi smiled at Li Ye.
