Chapter 28: Night Shadow Longing for the Cold Light (1)
A rare sunny day in winter, the sun shines warmly. The sky is a little muddy, and the sky is hazy and hazy by the loess dust stirred up by the north wind, like a layer of translucent bamboo paper with a clear heart, with an ambiguous gray blue. The snow was also covered by floating ash, and the snow-capped mountains turned into a dusk, and there was not a trace of greenery to be found in the four fields.
It's winter time, and life in the countryside is calm and monotonous. At the end of the year, the villagers of Ha Long Wan Village either gather to gamble on a good day, or set up a dragon gate array on the grain drying field to have a while.
The three talents of the Han family are the best talking points for the villagers today. Li Zheng Li Lezi in the village was originally a character who could not be messed with in the minds of the villagers; His in-laws, Huang Dama, are as fierce as a wolf and a tiger, which is more fearful to the villagers than Li Lezi; As for the backstage of the two, Chen Ju, who is known as the priest who covers the sky with one hand, is about to shake when he stomps his feet in Qinzhou City, and even the successive Yin of Chengji County has to avoid three points of extravagant characters, in the eyes of the villagers who have not seen much in Halong Bay, it is the eldest of the heavens, the second of the emperor, and the third of Chen Ju.
But these ruthless characters, in front of the third brother of the Han family who had just recovered from illness, were like local chickens and dogs. Li Lezi had a dispute with the Han family over three acres of land, which angered Han San Xiucai. As soon as he made a move, he let Huang Dama die without a place to be buried, and then he made Chen Ju's family ruined, and even accused both of them of being thieves.
Although the villagers are simple, they all have a peasant-style shrewdness, and they don't believe that Chen Ju and Huang Da Ma will have any contact with the West Thief, and they all know that this is the hand and foot of the Han family's Sanxiucai, and they have to give a thumbs up and say that the show is powerful, and when the news that Han Gang is going to be an official comes, it has been changed to Han Sanguan's ability. Every day, a bunch of people are on the threshing floor, foaming at the mouth of the mess and the inside information that came from nowhere.
However, in the past few days, Chen Ju's case has been put on trial, and it is said that villagers from ten miles and eight townships have flocked to the city to have fun while purchasing New Year's goods. The villagers of Ha Long Bay are no exception, and the village has been much cleaner.
Chen Ju's eloquence is very good, and he has been a Xu official for another 30 years, and he knows the laws and regulations well, and he is not comparable to a Confucian scholar who obtained an official position by virtue of poetry and songs. In the previous trial, he made the official who presided over the case lose face in a few words, and made the spectators outside the lobby addicted.
But his biggest crime is hundreds of thousands of family wealth, Chen Ju is not dead, and the evil wolves that have surged up in Qinzhou City, no one can share the spoils with peace of mind. The charge of treason, no matter how good his eloquence is, he can't get rid of it. Conspiracy is the third most heinous felony, after rebellion and rebellion. According to the criminal law, the case is decided and beheaded, and there is no need to wait for the review of the criminal department and Dali Temple. ’
Ordinary death row prisoners have to wait until the autumn to be executed, and if they are lucky, they can escape when the emperor amnesties the world. And Han Gangzhi gave Chen Ju the capital crime of 'never waiting for time', and after being convicted, he immediately dragged him out of the city to be executed—that is, the death penalty was carried out immediately—and he would not even be given the opportunity to turn the tables through the backstage of the capital.
Since it is impossible for Chen Ju to turn over, Han Gang is not interested in learning from the villagers, and running to see the excitement, if it leaves people with the impression that he acts lightly and is not stable enough, it will be worth the loss. In his spare time, he either reads books or practices martial arts. On this day, he pulled his cousin Li Xin and found Wang Hou, Wang Sunchen and Zhao Long to verify their martial arts together.
The strings sounded, and the long arrows were connected in a line in the air, like a bead chain, and fell straight down to the arrow stack thirty steps away, and in a blink of an eye, a bush of wild grass and flowers grew on the arrow stack. The arrow stack made of straw was the size of a bucket mouth, but the twelve arrows shot by Wang Sunchen in one breath were densely pierced in a place only the size of a bowl in the center of the arrow stack.
"How?!"
Wang Sunsin turned his head proudly, and he shot twelve arrows in a row, without even taking a breath. With a speed that the naked eye can't keep up with, with a strength of one hundred and twenty or thirty catties, and still maintaining the right head, Wang Sunchen's twelve arrows are miraculous and rare in the world. Wang Hou, who saw such archery for the first time, was dumbfounded, and Han Gang, who had already seen it, was also amazed.
"Li Guang and Yang Youji are no different, they should be able to teach Liu Zijing!" Wang Hou shook his head and sighed, giving up the idea of performing. He also practiced archery, but under the backdrop of Wang Sunchen, it was not even a joke. He asked Han Gang instead: "Yukun...... Would you like to try it? ”
"Little brother won't be ugly......" Han Gang also shook his head. After he recovered from his illness, after careful recuperation, it was easy to pull out the war bow with one stone and three buckets; In terms of accuracy, the arrow stack thirty steps away can also be seven or eight out of ten. With his current strength and archery skills, he can be regarded as one in ten talents in the upper four armies of the forbidden army, but Wang Sunchen's archery skills should be one in ten thousand.
A rapid shot is ten times more difficult to keep the right head than a single arrow. Like Wang Sunchen, who shot twelve arrows in one breath and could still maintain consistent accuracy and strength, Han Gang estimated that even if he was directly hit by the imperial dragon bow and arrow of the Son of Heaven, he was afraid that he would not be able to find a divine archer who could compete with him. He wondered if he would find an opportunity to learn a few tricks from Wang Sunsin. The six arts of the gentleman - Lile poetry is considered a royal shot, and he can't do poetry by himself, so he can only make up for it by a few other items.
Wang Hou and Han Gang thought that they were inferior, and Wang Sunchen was even more proud, raising his chin and looking at Li Xin with his eyes. He knew very well how much Zhao Long had ability, that is, Han Gang's cousin had a few catties and taels, and he wanted to find out the bottom.
Li Xin remained silent, walked to the weapon rack on the side, and took down seven short spears for throwing. Turning around, one by one neatly inserted under his feet. It's just that the direction he is facing is not the arrow stack, but the woods at the other end of the school field.
Wang Hou tilted his head and asked Han Gang, "Yukun, what is my brother going to do?" ”
"The ancestor father-in-law [grandfather] spear throwing technique was also well-known in Fengxiang Mansion in the old years, and there were not a few victories in the battle, so I don't know how many percent of it has been handed down?"
Han Gang watched Li Xin's movements carefully, he had never seen Li Xin's true strength. These days, his second cousin has maintained the habits of a military family, and when he gets up in the morning, he will work hard and practice martial arts. The personality is not as fiery as Han Ah Li, he has always been taciturn, Han Gang only saw him twice when he was a child, and his memory has long been blurred. But after Wang Sunsin's wonderful performance, he still looks calm and relaxed, which is a bit of a success. Looking at the old lady who made her hand a good rolling pin, you can see that her grandfather's family has a deep family history, which makes Han Gang full of confidence in his cousin.
Li Xin pulled out a short spear from under his feet and gently swept it. A pair of listless eyes suddenly widened, and they were full of energy. With a loud shout, his left foot slammed out, and with a wave of his right arm, a streamer shot straight into the woods.
Li Xin's height is considered to be lower than the average in Kansai, only one finger taller than Wang Sunsin, who is only five feet and two inches tall, and his figure is not as majestic as Wang Sunsin, and he is a little thin compared to Han Gang. However, Li Xin, who has an ordinary appearance and can no longer be found when thrown into the sea of people, has an amazing strength in his two arms, and when he throws a short spear, he actually makes a screaming sound of a powerful crossbow.
The first short spear came out of his hand like a streamer. He reached down with his right hand, and another short spear appeared in his palm. With another roar, the second spear followed the first spear and shot into the woods. Li Xin drank and threw it, and in the blink of an eye, the seven short spears stuck in front of his feet disappeared without a trace. The short spears roared in the wind and fell immediately, followed by a few successive sounds, and the seven short spears were actually pierced on an aspen more than thirty paces away, lined up in a straight line from top to bottom.
"Good kung fu!" Wang Hou shouted, and Wang Sunchen's eyes widened in shock, and he couldn't help but let go of his conceited expression.
Han Gang stepped forward and grabbed the spear inserted in the tree and shook it, but he didn't move, and he was firmly nailed to death. Wang Hou sighed in surprise and stepped forward to take a closer look. On the solid poplar trunk, the tip of the spear was sunk four or five inches deep, no wonder it shook and did not move. Wang Hou looked back at Li Xin with a calm expression in surprise and sigh, the kind of strength he poured into the spear body, even the most exquisite fine iron armor in Western Xia, I am afraid that it can pierce the two piercing holes in the front and back with a single spear throw.
In terms of archery, Li Xin should not be as good as Wang Shunchen - then again, Qin Fenglu's archery skills can be compared to Wang Sunchen's, I am afraid that one slap can be counted, maybe he can compete with Liu Changzuo, who is known as the magic arrow, that is, Liu Zijing, who is said by Wang Hou - but Li Xin is not a star and a half worse than Wang Sunchen.
Wang Sunchen and Li Xin tried out, both of them were good martial arts, and it was rare to see them in the army, so only Zhao Long was left who had not yet made a move. Zhao Long didn't wait for urging, and Da Lu stepped forward with a smile. Picked up two twenty or thirty pound stone locks, and with a shake of his hands, the stone locks flew up and down.
The heavy stone lock flipped over on Zhao Long's side and flew like a butterfly, intertwined like a shuttle. The wind roared, rushing towards his face, and the momentum was fierce, and Wang Hou couldn't help but take half a step back. But he looked at Han Gang beside him and didn't move, and stood back very embarrassed.
Han Gang was shocked by Zhao Long. He looked at Zhao Long's body movements, which were not casual moves, but a set of sword dances that were surging like the waves of a long river. The two stone locks together weigh fifty pounds, but in Zhao Long's hands, they are like holding two embroidery needles. The whirlwind rolled up by the stone lock roared like a lion, but Zhao Long insisted on hitting a feeling of endless waves of the long river, and there was no thousands of catties of strength on his hands, how could there be such a thrilling performance.
After finishing a set of surging sword dances, Zhao Long gently placed the stone lock on the ground, his breathing was slightly short, and his face was slightly red. He clenched his fists and smiled: "My archery skills are not good, I only have the strength of a bull, but I am ugly." Laugh! Laugh! ”
"Where!?" Han Gang said with a smile: "Brother Zhao uses the stone lock as a sword, a set of sword dances, which opens my eyes." If this is also considered an ugly offering, how many people in the world can see people in martial arts? ”
After seeing Wang Sunchen, Zhao Long and Li Xin's trials, Wang Hou was also overjoyed. The martial arts of the three of them are all first-class and outstanding, which is only seen in his life.
Wang Sunchen and Zhao Long have been transferred by Wang Shao to run in the Economic Strategy Division, Wang Sunchen was promoted to the third class because of his merits, and Zhao Long also appointed the palace attendants, although the two have not yet had a grade, but they are not far from the Liunei officials, as long as they make a little meritorious service, they will soon be able to lift them up. Now there is another Li Xin, and he is also Han Gang's cousin, so he is even closer. In the future, his father Wang Shaobing sent Hehuang, with these three tiger generals on the side, coupled with Han Gang's wisdom and strategy, it should be a few more points!
