After a while, several hard bows were obtained. The Duke picked up one and tugged at it casually and said: "This is a six-stone bow. Most strong archers use this. Although it is an ordinary walking bow, the materials used are very particular.
The six materials of stem, horn, tendon, silk, glue and lacquer come from all over China. The materials used are very particular. You should try this first.
After the competition just now, the Duke of Guo has determined that Liu Ziguang is a technical talent. Since he has lost two games, he must regain his face in the strength competition. The six-stone bow is no longer something that ordinary people can draw at will. One stone is equivalent to ninety
A four-pound, six-stone bow is a hard bow of five hundred and sixty-four pounds. If Liu Ziguang can't draw the bow, the Duke can easily draw a few full bows and win the battle. If Liu Ziguang can draw the bow, it doesn't matter.
The Duke of Guo also has a back-up, and there are several bows that are stronger than this one.
Sure enough, Liu Ziguang pulled the six-stone bow easily. For him, it was almost like pulling a tensioner that had only one spring and had become loose after seven or eight years of pulling. It was simply child's play.
After everyone watched Liu Ziguang draw the bow, they looked at the Duke eagerly. The Duke was a little surprised. This boy still has some strength, so it doesn't matter. "Come here, show me my Western bow to General Liu."
"
The servant who had been waiting for a long time brought over a huge bow. Liu Ziguang picked it up and made a gesture. When he stood it up, it was a head taller than him and about two meters long. It was an imported product from the West and was probably the British bow in the Age of Empires game.
A bow, the kind used by Robin Hood.
The Duke continued to explain: "This Western barbarian bow is said to be a magical weapon in Western countries. It can penetrate six armors. The archers who use this bow are all carefully selected tall and long-armed men. Even so, these
The archer's spine is still twisted due to long-term stretching of the bow. The strength of this bow is evident. The bow body is different from the bow of the Celestial Dynasty. It is a single bow made of fine yew wood. The archers under my command can draw this bow.
It's rare, General Liu, you have to be careful."
Liu Ziguang thought to himself, "Isn't it just an English bow?" He said it so mysteriously that I had to pull it out more than a dozen times today. He then held the bow, hooked the bow string with his right hand, exerted force suddenly, and pulled the bow string in one fell swoop.
When it reached the base of the ear, it was not as hard as expected. Liu Ziguang simply changed his hand shape and continued to pull back, pulling the long bow apart like a tensioner. Hearing a "pop" sound, the bow string broke, and the extremely bent yew wood
The bow rebounded strongly and made a buzzing sound.
"What a magical power!" The Duke couldn't help but admire. In fact, his heart was bleeding. The Western bow he had obtained after many attempts was broken. But on the surface, he still pretended not to care. Say hello.
The man continued to hold the bow, but this time he explained a few words in advance: "Xiao Liu, I have learned about your magical power. This bow is my favorite. It was made by the royal palace's specialized craftsmen for six years.
Just pull it open, don't break it again."
Liu Ziguang hurriedly apologized: "I know I was wrong, and I will cherish it." He looked at the newly presented treasure bow in his hand. The bow was made of rolled wood, with gold hoops and jade corners on it. It was very exquisite, and even the silk thread wrapped around the handshake was like
It's different and very comfortable to hold.
This is a typical hyperbolic recurve compound bow. The materials used are extremely exquisite. Even the raw materials must be collected at the right time. It takes six years to make a bow. The labor alone is worth a lot of money. Liu Ziguang
I didn't have the bad habit of deliberately destroying other people's beloved things. I carefully picked up the bow and tried to pull it with very light force. It only pulled a little.
The Duke on the side laughed loudly, "Xiao Liu, you can't help it. You must know that this bow has the strength of sixteen stones. Even I can barely draw it once or twice."
What's the point of using such a hard bow as a tensioner if it can't be pulled? The Duke's brain structure is really extraordinary. Liu Ziguang drew the bow again, and slowly pulled the sixteen-stone hard bow.
When it became a full moon, I also stood up for a lunge, making the posture of Huang Rihua in The Legend of the Condor Heroes. I didn’t let go after I finished pulling, and I did it for six more full moons. My face didn’t turn red and I was angry.
Without taking a breath, he calmly returned the bow to the Duke.
However, the Duke of Guo refused to accept it, and praised with his palms: "You can not only pierce the poplar tree with a hundred steps, but also shoot a strong bow. This bow must be yours. It is rare to find a close friend in my house. I have wronged this bow."
Liu Ziguang hurriedly declined: "How can this make a gentleman not to take away someone's love? This bow is indeed a magic weapon. I never dare to ask for it."
The Duke pretended to be angry: "Why, does General Liu look down on our Duke's government? I, the Duke of Wei, Xu Xiyong, keep his word, and there is no reason to take back things that have been sent out. General Liu is still afraid that just asking for a bow will make our Duke's government
Bankruptcy is not possible.”
Liu Ziguang was originally just pretending to be polite, but after hearing these words, he stopped being humble: "Then I'd rather be respectful than obey my orders. Well...can I give two pots of matching arrows?"
The Duke laughed again: "Sure enough, come on, bring me my special carved-feathered steel arrowheads, three-edged ones, whistlers, and thin daggers. Bring a pot of each type.
I packed the riding bow and the white rainbow sword together and sent them back to General Liu. It is getting late, so I have prepared a small amount of wine for Sister Peng and General Liu to wash away the dust. I will not return until I get drunk today."
The Duke of Guo was very happy today. Generals always cherish each other. At the banquet, Peng Jinrong tried to ask about the debt owed by the Ministry of War. The Duke of Guo patted his chest until it turned red and said that it would be a good thing for him.
Serve the daughter's red jar like a revolving door, and pour it into the cup. The color of the wine is orange and clear, the wine is fragrant and fragrant, and the wine has a sweet and mellow taste. It has sweet, sour, bitter, pungent, fresh, astringent, and has all six flavors. Guogongye's wine is popular.
Fa, I drank eighteen cups in a row, even the Peng sisters also drank a few cups, Xu Xiyuan also drank half a jar, only Liu Ziguang couldn't drink it down even if he pinched his nose. Isn't this rice wine used for cooking? It's not as good as white wine.
It was strong and not as fresh and sweet as beer. Liu Ziguang really couldn't drink it, so he refused after taking a few sips.
The Duke of Guo finally found his strong point, "If you can't drink, how can you still be considered a man? Hahaha." He drank three more drinks in a row, showing his extraordinary ability. Liu Ziguang curled his lips: "Jiangnan Nuerhong, this is the bar where my daughter drinks.
, I only like to drink northern liquor. That is the wine of a real man."
"Oh, Xiao Liu is still so elegant. I told you earlier, I don't have anything else in my house, good horses, good soldiers, fine wine, that's all. Come, bring me Lao Baigan from Hengshui, Hebei!"
A jar of high-quality liquor, Hengshui Laobaigan, was delivered. When the mud seal was opened, the choking smell of wine spurted out. Several ladies fanned their noses together. Peng Jingwei also said: "Hey, isn't this the fuel in my father's armored chariot?"
Why do you use it as fine wine?"
"By the way, this is it, this one is strong enough." Liu Ziguang didn't wait for the maid to take action, poured a glass for himself, drank it with gritted teeth, and smacked his lips with unfinished content. He took a shallow bowl with vegetables and poured the vegetables into another bowl.
On a plate, I poured another full bowl and drank it all in one gulp. I felt a line of fire flow from my throat to my stomach, and then ignited a blazing fire in my stomach. Strong wine, absolute strong wine, sixty-five degrees is
There must be some, just light the fire and it will start. This is a man’s drink.
Liu Ziguang quickly tore off a piece of salted duck leg and ate it in large chunks. As he ate, his legs moved onto the chair before he knew it. Two years of squatting on the ground to eat made him uncomfortable with sitting on a chair.
Seeing Liu Ziguang's vulgar behavior, the Duke of Guo not only didn't get angry, but also raised his thumb, "Okay! True temperament, true hero! Come and get a bowl of sea for the great hero under Li Guo City."
I drank a lot of wine today. The Duke also mixed it with wine and drank three jars of Nuerhong and one jar of Laobaigan. Liu Ziguang only had a lot more, five jars of Laobaigan. It was like drinking the liquor as beer, and it was free of charge.
Fortunately, the beer comes in small bottles, otherwise even water would fill my stomach.
After drinking, the Duke was already very drunk and complained a lot about the government. What kind of eunuchs were in power and allowed a hereditary Duke like him, a super strong general, to serve as the commander of the Xiaoling Guard. There was a war in the north and he could not participate.
You can only watch the mourning of the past emperors, which is a waste of your martial arts and no way to serve the country.
Hearing her brother start to complain, Xu Yuanhui hurriedly asked the servants to leave, and said to the Peng sisters with a sad face: "Don't be afraid of my sisters' jokes. Today's Duke's mansion is not what it used to be. Don't look at my brother's bragging. In fact, what he said
There is only some use in the Xiaoling Guards. The Ministry of War will not buy the account of our government. The current court is dominated by disciples who are 9,000 years old. Even in this government, I don’t know how many people from Dongchang are there.
Spy."
The fifteen-year-old girl said such words that were inappropriate for her age, which made the Peng sisters understand that the capital of today is no longer the capital of the past. The one million taels of silver owed may be more difficult than imagined.
The Duke of Guo finally passed out drunk and lay on the ground like a puddle of mud. Xu Xiyuan sighed and said, "Brother, I haven't been so drunk for a long time." Then she called a few servants and helped the Duke of Guo into the room.
Have a rest and let the kitchen prepare hangover soup.
Liu Ziguang was very depressed because he couldn't get drunk. He didn't know that there was already a special enzyme in his body that could decompose alcohol. After drinking so much, Lao Baigan still acted like a normal person. He spoke fluently, walked naturally, and helped his servants enthusiastically.
The prince was carrying the country. He didn't notice that the young ladies were looking at him as if they were looking at monsters.
The Peng sisters are staying in the Duke's Mansion today, but there is no guest room arranged for Liu Ziguang, so he can only stay at the Lianfeng in Nanjing. The servants of the iron factory have already eaten and drank at another table. Now
Accompany Liu Ziguang back to the Lianfeng.
After saying goodbye, Liu Ziguang saw that the Confucius Temple area was still dimly lit and bustling with activity. Liu Ziguang asked the third shopkeeper of Lianfeng Hao who accompanied him: "Is there anything else interesting on the Qinhuai River? Now."
The third shopkeeper was also a young man, and he thought that Vice Admiral Liu was a countryman after all, and had never seen the world. If he wanted to go to another city, it would be time to go to bed now, but this was the capital, and the nightlife had just begun.
"Coming back to Lieutenant General, these ten miles of Qinhuai are all dependent on night business. dignitaries, traders, and lackeys all like to go to the street restaurants here or the painted boats in the river to listen to music and drink after lighting the lanterns, and sleep on flowers and willows, leaning against the red and green.
"As he said this, the third shopkeeper smiled lewdly. I have just heard that this deputy general will never get drunk after a thousand drinks. As a man, of course he should have some trouble after drinking. It is only natural.
The third shopkeeper used his obscene thoughts to speculate on Vice General Liu's thoughts. In fact, Liu Ziguang was thinking about the eight beauties of Qinhuai in historical legends. He couldn't name the eight beauties in history. Anyway, names like Dong Xiaowan and Liu Rushi were so popular. Okay?
It's easy to come here once and see everything.
"Third shopkeeper, lead the way to the most famous painting boat. I'm going to see the scenery of Qinhuai." Liu Ziguang said with a mouthful of dried sweet potato wine.
