In Tianlu Pavilion, Liu Chang looked at Liu Hui in front of him and smiled stupidly.
Liu Hui felt a little uncomfortable when he saw him.
"why are you laughing?"
"Fifth brother, get up first, get up..."
Liu Hui had no choice but to stand up. Liu Chang stood beside him and looked at Liu Heng proudly, "Fourth brother, look, am I taller than fifth brother?"
Liu Heng looked up and was stunned. It was really like this.
Liu Chang's shoulders were already half a fist higher than Liu Hui's. Liu Heng didn't notice at first that his father and mother were not very tall. How could this guy grow up so fast? Several of Liu Bang's sons,
None of them are very tall, except Liu Chang.
Is it because of his biological mother?
Liu Heng knew the truth, but he had never met his biological mother. He only knew that she was from Zhending in Changshan and her surname was Zhao.
But I haven't heard of any tall and mighty people with the surname Zhao here.
Liu Chang was very happy. He continued: "In two or three years, my father will not be able to beat me!!"
At this time, half a year had passed since the prince's wedding. It was the season when fruits were fragrant. Liu Chang couldn't sit still at all. Every day he led the sages to taste fruits in various places. The most visited places were Jiancheng Hou and Heyang.
Hou's home was often chased and beaten by two people.
Cao Shen is currently focusing on the local area and wants to further reduce taxes. He heard that his father would never allow it. However, this is a good thing for the sages in Chang'an. The Cao thieves finally stopped staring at them and they can
Continue to be cool.
"Pa~~"
"Snapped!"
"Snapped!"
Gai Gong used his sword several times, Liu Chang blocked it flexibly, jumped up and down, and made four or five moves. Gai Gong suddenly changed his one hand to two hands, and made a domineering diagonal slash, knocking Liu Chang's wooden sword away. Liu Chang
He was stunned for a moment, "Why did the master suddenly start chopping?"
Gai Gong narrowed his eyes, "I didn't have to chop before, not because I didn't understand, but because you weren't worthy enough to let me use it at that time."
"Master, do you mean that I am now forcing you to use chops to resist?"
"That's true, but you have made great progress... But don't contract the Confucian disease of pride and complacency! Remember, the sword is a battle of life and death. If you are not careful, you will not have the chance to do it again.
Therefore, never underestimate your opponents at any time, and never be complacent..."
"I see!"
"It's just that I can't find anyone who can practice sword practice with me now. Luan Bu is no longer my opponent! I can easily defeat him with just a few moves!"
Gai Gong sneered, "You can defeat him easily because you are his master. He does not dare to hurt you, so he does not dare to attack with all his strength, but you have nothing to fear. If you did not have the identity you have now, Luan Bu can do it with one move
I can kill you within a few seconds."
Liu Chang did not refute, but said seriously: "I will practice my sword well!"
"No."
Gai Gong shook his head and said seriously: "You are not a hero in the city. You probably know how to use a sword, which is enough... On the battlefield, you still need to be able to use a bow."
"Previously, I was worried that you would hurt yourself, so I asked you to practice swordplay. But now it seems..." Gai Gong looked at Liu Chang. There were already faint muscle knots on his young body. "You can go practice bow and crossbow."
Well, in the military formation, you can know how to use the sword, but you cannot know how to ride and shoot."
"Yeah!"
Liu Chang's eyes lit up. He had always liked archery. When the old lady was here, he personally made him a small wooden bow and several arrows without heads. But later he was playing with the bow in the palace and shot an arrow.
Liu Bang was hit in the forehead, and the small wooden bow was never seen again.
Now that the master lets him play with the bow, he is of course extremely happy.
"When will the master teach me archery?"
"You have to find someone else to learn from, I can't teach you."
"Why?"
"I won't!"
Gai Gong's words immediately ignited Liu Chang's desire to learn crossbows, and he was a little inattentive when practicing swordsmanship. Gai Gong was good at swords, but didn't know how to bow, so who should he look for? Among the ministers, there was no one.
I heard that someone is particularly good at using a bow. Will my mother object to learning the bow myself?
Liu Chang had been thinking about these all day long and seemed absent-minded.
He and others were sitting in the orchard, eating fruits. Zhou Shengzhi noticed the king's expression was different and couldn't help asking: "What is the king thinking about?"
"I want to learn archery, but I don't know who is good at it?"
"Mr. Fan, does Marquis Wuyang know how to shoot?"
Mr. Fan shook his head and said, "I have never seen my father use a bow..."
"Xiahou Zao?"
"My father only knows how to drive..."
"Chen Mai?"
"This... my father is a counselor..."
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"
Guan'a, the youngest, suddenly shouted. The sages looked at him. Guan'a opened his eyes wide and shouted loudly: "My father is good at shooting!"
"Oh? Are you sure?"
"Of course, didn't you see a lot of straw men at my house earlier? They are all used by my father to shoot arrows. He usually enjoys this..."
"Very good!!"
Liu Chang was so happy that he clapped his legs and shouted.
"Lu, Zhong, you get another lamb from home, and we'll go to Yingyin Hou Mansion later!"
While they were discussing, someone suddenly shouted from a distance: "Who is it?"
Hearing this cry, the sages jumped up immediately, turned around and ran away without saying a word. Liu Chang looked at Guan A with his arms full of fruits and ran at the end, scolding: "You want to be beaten?"
Caught it? Lost it!"
Everyone fled out of the big orchard of Heyanghou's family and dispersed in a rush.
...
"Father Zhong!"
Liu Chang stood in front of Guan Ying and bowed with a smile. Lu Lu behind him was holding a little lamb in his arms with a smile on his face.
Guan Ying hesitated for a moment and did not dare to return the greeting.
"Young Master... I am different from others. I have many elders to support and I have no family assets..."
"Father Zhong, I am friends with Guan'a, and I just came to visit you this time. I have no other intention."
"Well..."
Guan Ying was still a little hesitant, "I accept the young master's wishes, but I'd better take this sheep back."
"Father Zhong, there's no need to be polite!"
Guan Ying invited them to sit down, and Liu Chang greeted them again. Guan Ying became more and more uneasy as he listened. The reputation of King Tang was well known to all women and children in Chang'an.
, all the officials are not afraid, it would be better to let him scold the old man.
Before the prince's wedding, the Tang king also called "Father Zhong" everywhere to "raise charity" for the suffering people of the Tang Dynasty. If he called "Father Zhong", it would be one hundred thousand family assets.
While chatting, Liu Chang suddenly sighed and said, "I don't know, Father Zhong, but our country of Tang is surrounded by Huns on three sides, and there are thieves and bandits... the people have to live..."
"I know what the king means..."
"No, Father Zhong, what I mean is that when I go to the Tang Kingdom in the future, I will have to fight against the Xiongnu. But I don't know how to ride and shoot. I know that Father Zhong, you have been commanding the cavalry for my father, and you are the best at riding and shooting, so I came here.
I want to ask Father Zhong to teach me!"
Liu Chang bowed to Guan Ying seriously.
Guan Ying was still a little hesitant. He really didn't want to have anything to do with this Tang king. Liu Chang added: "I didn't want to trouble you at first, but today, I followed Gai Gong to practice swordsmanship. My father was very angry. He said
Sword training is just a heroic skill, how can we resist the Huns in the future?"
"He also said that Guan Ying is good at shooting, so you can learn it from him. When I returned to Jiaofang Hall, my mother also said that you are the most courageous general, and she would be relieved to learn archery from you."
"This is my parents' order. I dare not violate it. I hope Father Zhong can teach me!"
When Guan Ying heard these words, he no longer dared to refuse. He stood up and said, "Since your Majesty and the Queen agreed, I can't refuse. Please follow me to the backyard..."
Liu Chang happily followed Guan Ying to the backyard. There were various straw figures, wooden targets, and hung moving targets in his backyard. These were all things Guan Ying used for entertainment.
Guan Ying picked up a bow and handed it directly to Liu Chang, "Just give it a try."
"good!"
Liu Chang hurriedly drew the bow, but even with all his strength, he could not draw the bow. His whole body was trembling, his face turned red, and the bow string kept shaking.
"Okay! Let go!"
Guan Ying shouted hurriedly, and Liu Chang stopped exerting his strength, his hands were trembling.
"What kind of bow is this? I can't even pull it open!"
Guan Ying turned around and entered the house. After searching for a long time, he finally found an old-looking bow. "Will you try this again?"
This time, Liu Chang finally drew his bow, but it was still a bit difficult.
Guan Ying then began to teach him how to hold an arrow, how to let go, how to aim, and helped him adjust his posture, "Okay, aim at the straw man in the distance, don't aim at his head, aim at the abdomen, come on
,let go!"
Liu Chang suddenly let go of his hand.
The arrow did not fly forward, but flew to the left, flew past Lu Zhong's face, and nailed the wall beside him.
Lu Zhong heard a buzzing in his ears, looked at Liu Chang blankly, and then looked at the arrows beside him. After a while, he fell to the ground suddenly.
