To see is to believe.

In front of Xue Shao and Yuenu, the demon recited some passages in the "Analects" and some passages in the "Book of Songs" respectively.

The moon slave was dumbfounded, "Wouldn't it?" ”

Of course, Xue Shao was also surprised, and said with a smile: "Demon, how long did it take you to memorize these books?" From what age? ”

"I don't remember...... You'er said a little stunned, "Since I was very young, my grandfather liked to hold me and recite poems to me. As soon as I heard it, I remembered it. Later, my grandfather taught me to read and teach me arithmetic. A lot of the time, I can remember it when he says it once. ”

"Say it once and you'll remember?" Xue Shao was incredible.

"Yes!" The demon nodded earnestly.

The moon slave was extremely surprised, "I don't believe it! ”

"I really can, Sister Yuenu!" The demon said in a serious way, "When I was holding a funeral for my mother in the Taoist temple that day, I memorized all the scriptures recited by the Taoist priests!" ”

Xue Shao and Yue Nu looked at each other!

"If I don't believe me, I'll recite those verses to you now!" The demon pouted and said, she seemed to be a little unhappy when she was "distrusted".

The moon slave hurriedly waved his hand, "Don't, bad luck!" ”

"You'er, have you read "Yonghui Rules"?" Xue Shao asked.

The demon shook her head in confusion, "I haven't heard of it!" ”

"Moon slave, go to my study and get that book!"

"Yes, Childe!"

Now fried and sold, Xue Shao asked the demon to turn over the thick book of "Yonghui Laws and Books" from the middle and read a few pages. Xue Shao practiced "shorthand" at the same time, and used his regular reading speed to finish the page with You'er.

After Xue Shao's memory was completed, he asked, "Demon, can you remember?" Do you want to read it again? ”

"No, I can remember!" Yue Nu smiled innocently, "Brother Fairy, you are so slow to read!" ”

"......" Xue Shao couldn't help but be stunned, and the corners of his mouth twitched faintly a few times, "Then you recite it to me!" ”

"Yes!" The demon stood up straight, shook his head and began to recite, "Volume 19, the thieves worship the things of the gods, flowing for two thousand five hundred miles. It is said that the god is the emperor, and the tent and the staff are also ......"

Xue Shao was also reciting the hymn with her in her heart, and found that she actually memorized it word for word!

Yue Nu took the book and pointed it out word by word, but it was not as fast as her recitation, and she was very surprised!

By the time the demon finished reciting the entire volume of the nineteenth volume of Yonghui Law, Xue Shao and Yuenu's expressions were already shocked to the extreme.

Seeing Xue Shao and Yuenu's expressions, the demon was a little frightened, and hurriedly knelt down and burst into tears, "Brother Fairy, did I do something wrong?" I don't dare anymore, I don't dare anymore! Don't drive me away, woo! ”

"You didn't do anything wrong, get up!" Xue Shao helped her up, held her little hand and said softly, "You'er, from tomorrow, I will teach you to read and write!" But what I taught you, you must not divulge to outsiders! Remember? ”

"I remember, Brother Fairy!" The demon immediately burst into laughter again, "I play the pipa to my fairy brother every day!" ”

The little demon's pipa stinks and seems to be missing some cells in music, so maybe his brain is really strange...... Xue Shao was speechless for a moment, then turned his head and ordered, "Moon slave, today's matter must not be leaked in the slightest. ”

"Yes, Childe." The moon slave looked at the thin demon curiously, and was shocked in his heart.

Xue Shao said with a smile: "Demon, you have to be obedient." In the future, unless I allow it, you can't play with this copper coin anymore, and you can't just make others fall asleep, do you know the way? Except for me and the moon slave, you can't let anyone else know about it, remember? ”

"The demon remembered! Brother Fairy, don't worry, I will definitely be obedient! I will be very obedient and obedient! The demon nodded obediently.

Xue Shao secretly let out a long breath, "Demon", did he really respond to this name, he was born with a demon with a strong IQ, and he didn't have a long body and a long brain? …… Well, I'm full of theoretical knowledge beyond this era, and I'll slowly teach her a little bit to try it!

The next day, Xue Shao got the custom-made weapons from the weapons shop in the West Market. In general, the craftsmanship of the blacksmith is quite passable, although it cannot be compared with the military technology of later generations, and it is impossible to really reach the level expected by Xue Shao, but it is already valuable in this era. The owner of the shop also spared no expense to make a scabbard of shark skin, and the material of the crossbow was also very strong, according to Xue Shao's requirements, more steel was used, rather than bamboo and wood like the general crossbows of this era, and the crossbow was also made of pure iron. Throwing knives, tiger teeth, and three-edged thorns are all quite handy.

Xue Shao was generally satisfied, paid the remaining half of the money, and rewarded ten more Qianfeng Quanbao. The shopkeeper was naturally happy, but also a little frightened, and repeatedly admonished: "Lang Jun, don't take this crossbow to show off in the world, if you are denounced, it will be a great disaster!" ”

Xue Shao smiled noncommittally, picked up the crossbow box and weapon box and strode towards the outside of the store.

The boss of the weapon shop took a cool breath and hurriedly grabbed Xue Shao, "Lang Jun must stay!" Why don't you go through the back door and wait for the shop to take you home in a carriage? ”

"Huh!" Xue Shao threw the shopkeeper a mainstream laugh that was popular on the Internet in later generations, bypassed him and walked straight out of the store, put the crossbow box and weapon box on the horse goods, and rode away.

The shopkeeper breathed a long sigh, but he was not afraid now!

There is fear, there is no fear.

Businessmen have always had a keen eye for people. Generally, if you have a crossbow in your possession, you will be exiled according to the law, and it is impossible not to be afraid. But since the buyer dared to carry a crossbow to swagger through the market in Chang'an, it meant that as long as he didn't rebel and kill people, there would be no turmoil. So now it seems that he is not an "ordinary person", it is very likely that he is a nobleman, maybe a nobleman who is related to the royal family.

What is nobility?

"Yonghui Laws and Regulations" clearly quotes the original words of the "Book of Rites": "The punishment is not a doctor", and it is written that "the law is in the eight discussions, and the severity is not in the punishment book". In other words, the general law is not very practical for the eight categories of people, such as imperial relatives, gate lords, nobles, and meritorious celebrities, and cannot be sentenced according to the law. Even if they committed a capital crime, the general government was not allowed to interrogate and sentence them privately, and they had to report to the emperor to personally punish them. The beautiful name is "re-pro-virtuous, old, honorable, and functional".

This is the famous "Eight Discussions" in history.

What the Tang Dynasty is really developing is the aristocratic politics of the gate valve. The word "aristocracy" is not called in vain, even the law is for it and actively covered.

So, for such a trivial matter as a royal nobleman like Xue Shao holding a crossbow, will anyone take it to the official?

Even if it is reported to the official, which official will report this kind of thing to the emperor?

Even if there was such a "thing" that forced the official to do such a strange thing, Xue Shao would not really be exiled. Because he is a nobleman or a seventh-rank official, these identities can be used to reduce the sentence, and at the end of the day, it is just a matter of paying a little ransom - a fine!

On the contrary, the official who did such a strange thing couldn't please him at the least, because he would offend the entire Xue nobles and all those who were friends with Xue Shao. What awaits him will be the isolation and rejection of a group of enemies and retaliation, and the infamy of "ignorance of current affairs" will also very likely make him fall into the situation of betrayal and separation from his relatives. In this officialdom, he doesn't have to mix it up anymore.

Therefore, it is not uncommon in history to see rampant magnates, but there are few officials like "Bao Qingtian" who are really not afraid of the powerful. Occasionally, there are a few, but they also rely on the emperor as the biggest "rule controller" behind them as the biggest backer.

Moreover, just "several".

To put it bluntly, the aristocracy is a privileged class above the law.

This is both a rule and an unspoken rule.

……

Back at home, Xue Shao couldn't wait to run to the polo field, unpack the crossbow box, and assemble the crossbow.

This iron crossbow is customized by the store according to the drawings of modern military crossbows drawn by Xue Shao. Although there is still a gap between this technology and modern military technology, and it is impossible to equip it with infrared anchor scopes, it is not bad.

Yuenu was practicing arrows here, and when he saw Xue Shao make a crossbow, he shouted in surprise on the spot: "Crossbow!" Childe, this weapon is very fun! ”

"Have you played?" Xue Shao asked with a smile. The moon slave is not afraid at all, although she is not a nobleman, but she is the maid of the nobleman, and she has long been used to this kind of "sidekick".

"Yuenu used to play crossbow with her stepfather earlier." Yuenu nodded, "Compared to the bow, the crossbow has a slightly slower rate of fire and a straighter arrow path, but it shoots much more accurately than the bow!" ”

"Therefore, the archers in the army are all collectively accumulating, and only density and rate of fire are required, and accuracy is generally not required. Crossbowmen, but they have to shoot very accurately! "Xue Shao is ready to test fire, this iron-armed crossbow is really hard, and it takes at least twice the strength of an ordinary military longbow to pull it apart. Xue Shao put an iron finger buckle on his hand and used a lot of force to pull it on.

The crossbow body was very heavy at least twenty catties, Xue Shao leveled it and aimed it, and shot it out, slightly red.

The crosshairs need to be proofread.

The moon slave ran to the target to take a look, and said in surprise: "Childe, the arrow was pierced by the iron arrow!" The power of this crossbow is so great! ”

"A must." Xue Shao said with a smile, "Wait for me to practice for two days, and I won't lose if I compete with you again!" ”

The moon slave grinned, "The moon slave will wait and see!" ”

I don't believe it!

Xue Shao pursed his lips, I am definitely not as good as you when playing with a bow, playing with a crossbow, but it may not be. In the past, when I was in the army, I also practiced the "crossbow" as a special combat weapon. Even in the era of hot weapons where guns are rampant, the crossbow as a cold weapon can play a role that cannot be replaced by a gun in many special combat occasions. For example, if you want to snipe at a gangster in an environment full of flammable and explosive chemicals, there is a risk that the bullet will detonate, and the safety factor of using a crossbow is much higher.

After a few test shots, Xue Shao repeatedly calibrated the crossbow's crosshair. Then six shots in a row, each shot hit the heart.

The moon slave was stunned, "Why is Childe's archery skills improving by leaps and bounds?" ”

Xue Shao sneered, "It's like the demon reciting quickly." ”

The moon slave suddenly laughed, okay, the demon is a little demon, and the son is a big demon!

In the next two days, Xue Shao almost carried the crossbow on his body, and even carried it on his back for those physical trainings, and even put it next to the bed when he slept, the purpose was to let his body adapt to the crossbow as soon as possible.

Muscles need thousands of times of repeated training to form memory, for example, people who play basketball have to repeatedly practice projection to form their own unique shooting feel, and the legendary martial arts master practices the sword in his hand to be extremely familiar and stretches freely like an arm, in order to achieve the realm of human and sword unity, commonly known as ...... Swordsman.
