Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Flying Star Bow

"Huh? Why not? Ma Zongheng seemed to guess Zhang Kun's thoughts, and asked with a smile.

"Ah, my lord, forgive my sins. This is not impossible, but this bow is said to be made of black steel and iron, weighing 48 catties, is a six-stone bow, if there is no strength beyond ordinary people, let alone archery, even the bowstring can not be opened. This flying star bow, also known as the sky-swallowing and shooting sun bow, has been heard for a long time, but since the history of the Han Dynasty, there are not more than three people who can open this bow, one is the champion Hou Huo to get sick, one is the flying general Li Guang, and the other is that! Halfway through Zhang Kun's words, he suddenly seemed to remember something and didn't dare to continue.

Ma Zongheng was quite curious, and said with a smile: "As long as others treat me sincerely, I will treat Ma Zongheng sincerely." If you can afford to look down on Ma, you might as well say it directly. ”

Ma Zongheng's words seem to have a magical power, which can't help but convince people. Zhang Kun also saw that he was young and successful, and his behavior was generous and bold, unlike those traitorous villains who would make trouble behind other people's backs, so he strengthened his courage and said in a low voice: "The third is the world's great sword master Wang Yueye." When he was still in the palace, he often accompanied His Majesty to practice archery and strengthen his body, and it was this flying star bow that was used at that time! ”

"Wang Yue?" After Ma Zongheng heard this, he was a little surprised, although Wang Yue was also quite famous in history, but compared with the champion Hou Huo Quai, and the flying general Li Guang, it was simply a world apart. And in ancient history, it was recorded that Wang Yue was not inferior to Lu Bu's bravery, but no one knows what the truth is, after all, his time in history is too short.

"The prince not only has unparalleled swordsmanship in the world, but also his archery skills are superb. When I first arrived, I saw him shoot with a bow more than ten zhang away, the arrow was like a meteor, just heard the string sound, and suddenly there was a sudden sound, but I saw that the arrow target was shot through, which can be described as a shocking skill, and it was a real hero! Zhang Kun recalled the past, his face was full of respect, and when the last sentence was spoken, he couldn't help but stare at him, and he hurriedly held down his mouth. Wang Yue is now a wanted criminal in the imperial court, and if what he just said spreads, it will definitely lead to death. Zhang Kun couldn't regret it, and he couldn't wait to slap himself a few times.

It's just that Ma Zongheng's next words shocked Zhang Kun, but his doubts were suddenly dispelled.

"Whoever can open this bow is a hero, how can the prince be weak!? I'd love to meet him! ”

Zhang Kun hadn't come back to his senses, but Ma Zongheng had already turned around and left. It turned out that Zhang Kun was also a loyal and righteous person, but he didn't have the courage of Wang Yue to dare to oppose the eunuch party who leaned towards the government and the opposition. Rao is like this, but somewhere in his heart, he has been longing for those heroes who dare to brave the wind and waves, have the heart of breaking the cauldron and sinking the boat, hoe the strong and help the weak, and fight against the eunuch party.

Although they have known each other for a short time, in Ma Zongheng, he gradually discovered that Ma Zongheng has some of the characteristics that a hero in his heart has.

When I was young, on the training ground. Zhang Kun took arrows for Ma Zongheng, and there were more than a dozen arrow targets in front of Ma Zongheng, and he stood in the center, about six or seven zhang away from the arrow targets. Zhang Kun didn't know what Ma Zongheng's archery skills were, but now he was more concerned about whether Ma Zongheng could open the flying star bow that weighed forty-eight pounds.

At this time, Ma Zongheng's eyes were like torches, staring at the arrow target red heart in the distance, and the people who were working around saw Ma Zongheng holding a strange bow and crossbow, and they couldn't help but stop the work in their hands curiously and looked at it.

"Hey, that's not a Flying Star Bow!? Could it be that Lord Ma still wants to open this bow!? Wang He was in the stable not far from the archery training ground, and when he saw the big black bow in Ma Zongheng's hand, he couldn't help but be surprised.

Under the gaze of everyone, the horse drank in a deep voice, the horse stepped forward, the huge flying star bow emitted a piercing buzz, its long and strong arms, as if it had the strength of nine oxen and two tigers, the bowstring was really pulled away by Huo Ran, everyone was surprised, and several people screamed.

Soon, the flying star bow gradually took on the shape of a full moon, but Ma Zongheng's heart was very satisfied, he used seventy percent of his strength, and he couldn't even pull this bow.

The horse was overjoyed, and then he worked hard, and the bow was in the shape of a full moon. Zhang Kun next to him was already dumbfounded.

Suddenly, a bowstring like thunder vibrate, immediately woke Zhang Kun up, and immediately saw a flying shadow that was difficult to catch with the naked eye bounced off, and before he could keep up, he heard a 'pop', and when he looked over, he saw gravel and sawdust flying, and the arrows of the horse did not hit the target, but shot in the stone wall behind, and the violent castration made the whole arrow burst instantly, and where the stone wall was hit, there was a small hole.

The people who were watching were all stunned, and they couldn't say half a word for a moment. Zhang Kun's eyes were about to fall.

Ma Zongheng saw that his arrows were so outrageous from the target, no matter how thick-skinned he was, he couldn't help but turn red, and hurriedly pulled his bow and arrows again, trying to save face. There was a sharp 'pop', and the arrow flew away like a flying star, and then another sound was heard, and Ma Zongheng actually missed the target again, and made a small hole in the stone wall.

"Grandma's! I don't believe that I can't shoot you!! The old man Ma couldn't hold his face, and he shot with a bow in annoyance, and then the roar of the road suddenly rose, and the arrows exploded one after another on the stone wall, no matter how Ma Zongheng shot, he just couldn't hit the target. And at this moment, more than a dozen large and small holes appeared in the stone wall. Ma Zongheng was furious, grabbed the arrow bag in his hand, grabbed it for a long time, and only caught the last one, and under the anger, he roared angrily, like a thunderbolt, so frightened that Zhang Kun squatted down and covered his ears.

'Bang' was another bowstring sound, and this time Ma Zongheng finally shot an arrow target, and the strong momentum made the arrow burst at the same time, and the arrow target also split half on the spot and flew away.

This time, everyone couldn't hold back anymore and exclaimed in unison. The old man Ma really didn't have the face to see people, so he turned around and left with the flying star bow.

Because, the target he shot was the one next to the target he was about to shoot!

"It's really embarrassing and embarrassing this time, Lao Tzu has decided to practice this archery skill every day during the time of this Qilong Mansion!! Otherwise, I will really have no face to see people in the future!! Ma Zongheng left in a hurry, secretly sneering in his heart.

Time passed, and soon it was time for the lunch break, and the Qilong Mansion was wide, and there was also a place for officials to rest. Ma Zongheng asked everyone to rest for half an hour, but he secretly ran out to practice archery.

In order not to lose face in front of Wang He's subordinates, Ma Zongheng couldn't wait to improve his archery skills.

Immediately afterwards, there were bursts of serial shocks in the training ground, like muffled thunder. Ma Zongheng is diligent, facing the sun, he practiced sweating after a while, and changed three quivers in a row, all of which were shot. In order not to destroy the wall, Ma Zongheng deliberately retreated a few more zhang, and shot ten zhang away, and his strength was also reduced a lot, so the stone wall behind him was full of desolation, and it was not destroyed again.

"What the hell is going on, why does it always feel like something is wrong?" Ma Zongheng was thinking about it when he suddenly heard a burst of laughter from the stable.

"Hahaha~~!! Reckless archery, there is brute force, you don't know skills, even if you shoot thousands of times, you can't hit the target!! It's better to stop there, so as not to disturb people's dreams!! ”

When Ma Zongheng heard this, his face turned red, and when he turned his eyes, he saw that someone in the stable poked out a head, and there were still a few straws on his head.

It's just that this person is really handsome, and there is a look in his eyes, Ma Zongheng fixed his eyes, and he couldn't get angry for some reason, his face was solemn, and he asked: "Who are you, why did you break into my Qilong Mansion!?" ”

"Haha, what Qilong Mansion, to put it nicely, it's just a place to raise horses. It's a pity that these thousands of horses are trapped here, and they are destined to never meet Bole in this life, sad~! Sad~! The man teased for a while, and then suddenly his face showed a bit of self-deprecation, and he acted like crazy.

The man was wearing an official uniform, but his crown and hat were taken off, and his hair was scattered, but he didn't care. Ma Zongheng frowned, his heart suddenly sped up a little, I don't know why, from the first time he saw this person, there was always an inexplicable urge to intersect with this person.

"Brother Tai seems to have something to say? Could it be that the career is not smooth? Ma Zongheng took a few steps forward and asked.

"Haha, even you know my heart as a reckless man, it seems that my brothers have met a good master." The man still looked crazy, and at this time a horse probed over, and seemed to be extremely familiar with the man, and he was still coquettish to him.

"A certain is Fufeng Ma Xi, I don't know the name of Gao Shigao?" Ma Zongheng stopped, suddenly bowed deeply, and bowed again, his expression was very sincere.

When the man saw it, he seemed to have guessed it a long time ago, and said with a smile: "If you don't say it, I can also guess who you are." But if I don't tell me, you won't be able to guess who I am. The friendship between gentlemen is as light as water, so why bother digging to the end? ”

Ma Zongheng's face tightened, and he was about to ask again. The man turned around and walked out of the stable, yawning and saying, "I was disturbed by someone's dream, and now I don't have any sleep, so I don't want to sleep." That brother, although I have never practiced arrows, I have also heard that the archery must be united and concentrated, and the arrow will be broken by one point, and you will try to kill the enemy every time, and you will be in a hurry, why not try to reduce your strength first, just to be able to shoot the target with one blow? ”

As soon as the man's words came out, Ma Zongheng seemed to suddenly open his mind, and he was stunned suddenly, and said: "Converge a little, converge a little~!" ”

By the time Ma Zongheng came back to his senses, the strange man was long gone. Although Ma Zongheng was quite curious about him, he had a rare understanding now, so he hurriedly returned to the training ground, picked up the flying star bow, concentrated his mind, pulled the bowstring, and only used fifty percent of his strength. Suddenly, the bowstring shook, and the arrow burst out, this time it really didn't miss, and with a 'pop', the arrow didn't explode as before, but shot into the target, into the wood for three points. Although it was a target, it was still far from the heart.

But for the horse who has just shot ten times and has not once shot the arrow target, this can be regarded as a great improvement, his eyes are wide, he is excited, he makes persistent efforts, pulls the bow and shoots again, but the second time is a little off the target. Ma Zongheng was not discouraged, continued to practice, and unconsciously taught Zhang Kun to take the ten quivers. Ma Zongheng ran out of arrows, and his official robe was already soaked with sweat, and Wang He and Zhang Kun didn't know how long they watched from the sidelines, and when Ma Zongheng found them, he saw that they were all full of admiration.

They worship not Ma Zongheng's rotten archery skills, but Ma Zongheng's diligence, but see that most of the arrow targets on the training ground are full of arrows, and there are many wreckage of arrows on the ground, Wang He and Zhang Kun have already finished their lunch break, come to watch a few times, but Ma Zongheng practiced very seriously, and it can even be said that there is no one around, so diligent and hard-working, dedicated people They are also the first time in their lives.

"Haha, before I knew it, it was almost dusk, and I was sweating all over my body, which was really comfortable." Ma Zongheng handed the Flying Star Bow in his hand to Zhang Kun. Although Zhang Kun also had some strength, he didn't dare to take it with one arm like Ma Zongheng, so he hurriedly took it with both hands.

"Adults are really hardworking, and cranes are not as good as them." Wang He, who was on the side, couldn't help but praise from the bottom of his heart. Ma Zongheng smiled, and suddenly remembered that he had met that strange person in the afternoon, so he asked Wang He.
