Chapter 250: The Bullseye

After King Luo Bin and Lu Zhaolin heard the conditions offered by Li Min, they were stunned for a moment. They had an unreal feeling and suspected that they were dreaming.

Because although the two were talented people, it was really difficult to pass the Imperial Examination in the Tang Dynasty.

The reason why these two people appeared in Chang'an was actually because they failed the exam.

Of course, the reason why they stayed in Chang'an and were invited by two brothels to compose poems was that their situations were slightly different.

King Luo Bin was short of money, while Lu Zhaolin was too embarrassed to go home after losing the throne.

Even if the two of them can pass the exam, according to Datang's rules, they will not be able to take office immediately and will need to undergo training.

After training, you can only start from the bottom step by step.

If there is no one, and if you have bad luck, you may not be able to reach the sixth level in ten or twenty years.

And now?

The starting position given to them by the King of Shu was the official position at the sixth rank.

And once the king of Shu becomes an official in the fiefdom, as long as they can gain the trust of the king of Shu, they will have great power.

You know, in the original historical trajectory, Lu Zhaolin was the master who made all the fortune-telling from the eighth grade!

Now Li Min suddenly announced that he would join the military from a sixth-grade record office, which surprised and moved both of them.

The two agreed immediately and were extremely grateful to Li Min for his kindness.

Li Min was very happy to be able to harvest these two talents and settled them down in the Shu Palace.

And these two people soon became friends with Chang Shi Guanyi.

They were all literati, and they were all early members of the King of Shu.

As they deliberately made friends, they got along extremely happily.

And King Luo Bin and Lu Zhaolin are worthy of being romantic talents.

They actually became the guests of the Winter Plum Fairy and the Chrysanthemum Fairy.

The two women seemed to have a special affection for them.



On this day, Li Shimin suddenly wanted to go hunting on a whim.

So he summoned the princes around him and the generals, and made an appointment to go hunting in Weicheng on the north bank of the Weishui River on the day of rest.

Li Shimin liked hunting, and was once warned by his officials because he was planning to hunt during the busy farming season.

However, this was the first time that several princes were ordered to hunt with him.

When Li Min got the news, he couldn't help but have a sad face.

It turns out that Li Min's ideal is to be a free prince, but recently he has been consciously exercising and practicing the Yi Jin Jing every day.

The effect of the practice seems to be quite good.

However, Li Yin had never practiced riding and shooting.

Riding a horse was pretty good, but riding a horse and shooting, well, Li Min realized that he didn't even know how to shoot an arrow.

If you don't even know how to shoot an arrow when you go hunting, that would be really embarrassing.

Well, there are still five days between now and the hunt.

He can only practice through these five days.

So Li Min went to the backyard and asked Xue Rengui to teach him how to shoot an arrow.

Hearing that Li Min wanted to learn archery, Xue Rengui ordered someone to fetch a badou bow, the smallest in the army.

Although his direct boss wanted to learn bow and arrow, Xue Rengui did not lower his requirements.

It is the same requirements as those taught to ordinary soldiers.

Xue Rengui did not let Li Min shoot the target as soon as he came up, but asked Li Min to learn the basic postures of archery first.

First, in the standing position, aim at the target with your left shoulder, hold the bow in your left hand, place your feet shoulder-width apart, place your body weight evenly on your feet, and lean forward slightly.

The next step is to practice actions such as nocking the arrow, stringing, pre-pull and aiming.

Xue Rengui had to wait until all these movements were practiced and mastered before Xue Rengui allowed Li Min to shoot arrows.

Li Min followed the posture taught by Xue Rengui and began to practice seriously.

Soon, Li Min's arms became sore and his whole body ached unbearably.

His body was even covered in sweat.

But Li Min did not complain and complained, and still persisted with great pains.

This kind of training spirit of the King of Shu moved more than a thousand imperial guards.

This also made the training of more than a thousand Imperial Guards even harder.

I didn’t see that even their prince trained so hard. If they didn’t work hard, would they still be able to succeed?

As a result, after practicing for a whole day, Xue Rengui did not let Li Min shoot an arrow.

At the end of the training in the afternoon, Li Min couldn't help but ask Xue Rengui: "Xue Dianjun, how long do I need to practice the basic movements before I can practice archery?"

Xue Rengui said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, you have to go through at least seven days of basic training before you can practice shooting. Otherwise, you are very likely to suffer from a weak foundation, and it is very likely that you will be lost on the battlefield.

Little life."

Li Min looked at Xue Rengui as if he were an idiot and said, "But, in four days, the hunting will begin! Do you plan to wait until I finish hunting before teaching me how to shoot an arrow?"

"Uh!" At this time, Xue Rengui also reacted and said quickly: "Your Highness, how about we start practicing archery tomorrow!"

By the way, Your Highness is learning archery purely to cope with the hunting in a few days.

It was completely different from the training of ordinary soldiers. I almost forgot about this matter...



That night, as expected, Li Min's body aches worsened.

After returning home, Xue Xiaoxiao gave her a massage, but the effect was still not great.

The sequelae caused by such strenuous exercise will require pain for at least several days before recovery is possible.

After Xue Xiaoxiao's massage, that night, Li Min did not relax, but continued to practice the Yi Jin Jing.

Perhaps it was because of Li Min's poor foundation. Xue Xiaoxiao also achieved significant results by practicing the Yi Jin Jing. However, in Li Min's case, although it cannot be said that there was no effect, it was never significant.

But today, Li Min was pleasantly surprised to notice the effect.

When I exercise strenuously and feel sore all over my body, I practice the Yi Jin Jing and I can clearly feel that the muscles all over my body are numb and itchy, as if they are constantly rejuvenating.

But after practicing Yijin, all my fatigue was miraculously gone!

Yi Jin Jing, actually has such effect?

On the second day, Xue Rengui taught Li Min the skills of archery.

After Li Min had almost mastered the skills, Xue Rengui took Li Min to the shooting range.

Inside the shooting range, there are dozens of targets in a row, and the distance between these targets is not large.

Because the soldiers usually train at a normal distance of fifty steps, but Xue Rengui trained them at about seventy steps.

The training requirement for these soldiers is that ten arrows can reach level 75 or above.

The accuracy of the arrow technique is evident, and it is impossible to hit someone else's target.

Li Min, on the other hand, was brought to a distance of about thirty steps by Xue Rengui.

When a novice shoots an arrow for the first time, the distance of thirty steps is just right.

According to the techniques taught by Xue Rengui, Li Min nocking the arrow, buckling the string, pre-drawing, officially drawing the bowstring, aiming and shooting directly.

Duh!

This arrow shot out and hit the bullseye!
