About a quarter of an hour later, Cheng Jiu took Wang Wangzhou back to the school grounds.
Wang Wangzhou came to Chai Yan, cupped his hands and said, "Chief Chai, are you looking for me?"
Chai Yan turned around and said, "Ah, I was looking for you just now, but now, no need."
Wang Wangzhou was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Cheng Jiu beside him. Cheng Jiu curled his lips and shrugged, indicating that he didn't know what happened.
"Ah! Save me, Commander Chai!"
Suddenly, a cry for help on the school field caught Wang Wangzhou's attention.
Wang Wangzhou immediately turned around and saw Sun Xingba beating a young man on a field in the middle of the school ground, and it was the young man who shouted for help.
"Ouch, my waist! Chief Chai, please help me quickly..."
Just when Wang Wangzhou didn't know what was happening, Sun Xingba threw the young man to the ground again, causing him to scream in pain.
Wang Wangzhou hurriedly asked: "Chief Chai, who is that person?"
Chai Yan replied calmly: "His name is Ma Tianzhi, and he is the great-grandson of Marquis Yongchang. Commander Gu left him to me a few days ago and asked me to train him well. No, he is training...
....”
While they were talking, Ma Tianzhi was picked up by Sun Xingba again on the school field, and then he was thrown to the ground unceremoniously again.
Ma Tianzhi was dizzy after being thrown. At this time, he no longer had the strength to call for help. He lay on the ground with golden eyes, shaking his head and waving his hands while coughing, saying: "Ahem... No, no, no.
I'm going to die, please don't throw me...ahem..."
Seeing this, Sun Xingba finally stopped, and looked at Ma Tianzhi who was lying on his back with his hands on his hips, shook his head and said in dismay: "Ma Tianzhi, you are too inexperienced, aren't you? Your grandpa Zeng is a famous general who can ride a thousand horses at a time.
Why haven’t you learned anything?”
Ma Tianzhi shook his head and said: "I, I, I...I, no one taught me that since I was a child..."
"What? No one taught you? It's impossible..." Sun Xingba was very surprised and couldn't believe what Ma Tianzhi said.
Ma Tianzhi didn't lie. Since he was a child, his elders in the family have hoped that Ma Tianzhi would study hard and become a civil servant in the future. But who knew that Ma Tianzhi doesn't like studying. He likes to wield swords and guns all day long, and his favorite is
Shooting an arrow.
With the help of Sun Xingba, Ma Tianzhi finally stood up and said to Sun Xingba: "Brother Sun...Brother Sun, I have wanted to learn martial arts since I was a child, but my great-grandfather, grandfather, and father all
I don't agree with it, they just want me to study for merit and fame, but I'm not that good at it, so... In short, over the years, what I've become slightly better at is archery...
"
"Archery?" Sun Xingba was also very interested in this and asked: "So, you are very good at archery?"
Ma Tianzhi couldn't help but paused and said cautiously: "That's it...it's just average..."
Sun Xingba immediately pointed to the archery range and said: "Let's go shooting. I'm bigger than you. If I win, I won't be able to defeat you. Archery is the fairest."
"Ah? Still competing?" Ma Tianzhi said in shock: "Brother Sun, why don't we forget it, I, I... I can't do it..."
Sun Xingba disagreed, and said with a sullen face: "Hey! What do you mean you can't do it? How can a man say he can't do it? Let's go shoot an arrow, it's fair!"
After saying that, Sun Xingba put his thick arm on Ma Tianzhi's shoulders, hugged him and walked towards the target.
Chai Yan smiled when he saw it. He turned to Cheng Jiu and Guan Maochun and said, "It seems they are going to compete in archery. Let's go and have a look."
After that, Chai Yan took Cheng Jiu and Wang Wangzhou to follow him.
Soon, Sun Xingba took Ma Tianzhi to the archery training ground.
As his name suggests, Sun Xingba is considered a tyrant in the Wude Department, and even the sextons will give him some face.
Seeing Sun Xingba coming over, a sexton who was leading his subordinates to practice archery asked: "Sun Siwei, your archery skills are already so good, do you still want to practice archery?"
Sun Xingba smiled and said: "No, let's just come over and play... By the way, can you lend us a target?"
The sexton nodded happily and said, "No problem, just use it."
After saying that, the sexton asked his subordinates to clear a target lane, and also asked the person reporting the target on the opposite side to clean the arrows on the target.
Afterwards, Sun Xingba took a bow and handed it to Ma Tianzhi, who was a little nervous, and said: "Ma Tianzhi, this is the moon-chasing bow commonly used by our Wude Division. You can try it first...
"
Ma Tianzhi looked at Sun Xingba hesitantly. He was initially reluctant to accept the moon-chasing bow, but suddenly he found Chai Yan and the others walking over. He immediately felt nervous and accepted the bow.
Sun Xingba immediately handed over another feather arrow and said with a smile: "Here!"
Ma Tianzhi had no choice but to catch the arrow, then tried to pull the bow string and asked: "Brother Sun, is this a stone bow?"
"Hey, it seems that Brother Ma is a master of archery. As soon as he started using it, he knew that it was a one-stone bow..." Sun Xingba stared at him and said, "Did Brother Ma already know about this Moon Chasing Bow?"
Ma Tianzhi hurriedly shook his head: "No, no, it's my first time to use it, it's really my first time..."
While talking, Chai Yan came over with Cheng Jiu and Wang Wangzhou.
"What, you want to compete in archery again?" Chai Yan asked with a smile.
Sun Xingba nodded, and then said: "Chief Chai, you are here just in time, how about you help me and Brother Ma be the judge?"
"No problem, how do you judge it?" Chai Yan asked with interest.
"Simple!" Sun Xingba pointed at the target and said loudly: "He and I each shoot three arrows at the target. Whoever hits the red heart more times in the end is the winner!"
Sun Xingba's words immediately attracted the attention of others around him. The sexton and his subordinates who were practicing archery also stopped and looked over with interest.
Ma Tianzhi was unsure and said worriedly: "Brother Sun, are we really competing? Or..."
Sun Xingba didn't like Ma Tianzhi's character very much, so he frowned and said in a deep voice: "Ma Tianzhi, after all, you are also the great-grandson of Marquis Yongchang, why don't you even have such courage? As the saying goes, a general has no son, if you are
If you keep doing this, everyone will look down on you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Chai Yan took over and said helpfully: "Old Sun is absolutely right! Ma Tianzhi, if you don't even dare to challenge your best archery, then you'd better not come to Wude from tomorrow on.
Secretary, wouldn't it be better to go back and continue to live a comfortable life?"
Ma Tianzhi knew that he couldn't quit midway, so he had no choice but to nod helplessly and said: "Well... okay! But I am the first to use this moon-chasing bow, can you let me...
Let me get familiar with it first?"
Sun Xingba immediately said: "Of course, you can shoot a few arrows first and let us know."
Chai Yan also nodded and said: "Yes, you should get familiar with it first, don't be in a hurry..."
Next, Ma Tianzhi went to get familiar with the Moon Chasing Bow...
In the blink of an eye, the three arrows were shot.
But these three arrows did not hit the target even once. They were either too high or crooked, and they were not just a little bit off. It could be said that they were a little off.
"It's okay, it's okay. It's normal to not get used to it for the first time. Brother Ma, don't be discouraged, just keep going..."
Sun Xingba said words of relief and encouragement, but in fact he was happy in his heart. He laughed secretly and said: Hahaha, how dare you be called a master with such an archery technique?
Although Ma Tianzhi was very unconvinced, the three arrows just now were indeed too far apart, leaving him no chance to refute.
Next, Ma Tianzhi shot three more arrows. Although each arrow was better than the last, they still failed to hit the target. The closest arrow among them was still one person's width away from hitting the target.
Six consecutive arrows missed the target, making everyone watching look surprised, and there were also faint sounds of ridicule and discussion.
Ma Tianzhi was very frustrated, and at the same time, he vaguely wanted to give up.
At this moment, Chai Yan's voice suddenly appeared behind Ma Tianzhi: "If you can defeat Sun Xingba in archery, I can take you with me to catch fugitives."
"Really?" Ma Tianzhi immediately turned around and looked at Chai Yan with surprise.
Chai Yan said lightly: "Forget it if you don't believe it, just pretend I didn't say it."
Ma Tianzhi nodded vigorously and said: "Believe, believe! I believe!"
Chai Yan smiled and said: "Okay, work harder, I'm optimistic about you!"
"Yeah!" Ma Tianzhi responded loudly, and instantly felt energetic all over his body.
