Chapter 174: Three Arrows
The young man was quite delicate, he did not choose to lift the stone lock or pull two strong bows, but picked up the ordinary stone bow, walked on the shooting range, a hundred steps away, there was a Shu army archer training special arrow target, but saw that he had three arrows in his hand, pulling the string like a full moon, the first arrow drew a beautiful arc in the air, "poof" sound, right in the center of the red bull's-eye.
"Good!" The crowd of onlookers around immediately burst into cheers, most of the recruits chose to raise stones and draw bows, there are few archers like him, everyone who tries archery has three chances, as long as one hits the heart will be admitted, this young man only hit the heart with the first arrow, and the archery skills are extremely admirable.
But seeing that the young man did not stop, a reserved smile hung on the corner of his mouth, and he pulled the bowstring again, and the second arrow flew out again, to everyone's surprise, this arrow did not hit the target, but the tail of the first arrow, and the sharp arrow split the first arrow, drilled into the body of the arrow, and split the first arrow in half, and the arrow of the second arrow was firmly nailed behind the arrow of the first arrow.
The onlookers all let out an exclamation, such superb archery skills are really breathtaking, it is not difficult to shoot the red heart, the difficult thing is that the second arrow actually shot the first arrow through, you must know that the arrow shaft is only the thickness of a finger, and hitting such a small target a hundred steps away, it is not something that ordinary archers can complete.
While the crowd was sighing, the young man's third arrow had already been shot, and a glimpse of the air struck the tail of the second arrow, and the second arrow was also split, and the arrow was firmly nailed behind the first two. Look at it from afar. There is only one arrow stuck in the target heart. But take a closer look. But three arrows were driven into the target in turn.
Everyone was stunned at this moment, if the second arrow may still have some element of luck, but the third arrow unmistakably told everyone what is called marksmanship!
Even the military marquis in charge of recruiting troops was stunned and dumbfounded, he had not only never seen such exquisite archery skills, but had never even heard of them. Among the Shu army, there is really no one who can shoot three arrows in a row.
"How's it going, does it meet your requirements?" The young man put away his bow and said with a slight smile.
Only then did the military marquis come back to his senses and hurriedly said, "Good shot!" Well shot! Brave men, please register here. ”
The person in charge of the registration affairs was the chief secretary of the army, and he smiled and said, "Strong man, please show your name." ”
The name thorn is a palm-sized cloth, which is a kind of household registration certificate issued by the township and township that is similar to the ID card of the descendants, and there will generally be the name, place of origin, type of household registration, special features, etc., stamped with the seal of the township, used to prove the identity of the holder. Whatever it is in that dynasty. The control of household registration is very strict, except for merchants. Ordinary yeoman farmers or artisans are not allowed to leave the place where they are registered, let alone slaves and maids who are attached to their master's family. However, after the fall of Hanzhong, a large number of displaced people fled from Hanzhong to Chengdu, and the control of household registration was slightly relaxed. But even if most of the homeless people have no food or clothing, they don't dare to easily lose the name thorn that proves their identity, without the name thorn, it is almost impossible to move an inch, and it is very likely to be caught as a fine work of the Wei State.
The young man looked hesitant and said, "This ...... I lost my name thorn on the way to Chengdu. ”
The military marquis immediately became alert, his gaze became sharp, and he stared at the young man and said, "Who can guarantee you?" ”
The ancient household registration is a system of mutual insurance, the Han Dynasty five families for a team, ten families for a tithe, a hundred families for the inside, the implementation of the joint mutual insurance, a guilty, these ten followed the bad luck, although it seems to be extremely harsh, but it is an effective means of management, this is like the loss of the young man's name, but also through the guarantor to confirm their identity.
The young man shook his head and said, "My family and neighbors have all died in the war, and there is no one to protect them. ”
The right hand of the military marquis pressed on the hilt of the sword, and he said with a cold gaze: "Since you can't confirm your identity, then I'm sorry, this army does not recruit people of unknown origin." ”
The army also has its own strict rules for recruitment, so as not to infiltrate the enemy's spies, and those who cannot confirm their identities cannot be admitted, even if the conditions are good.
The people around were shaking their heads and sighing, just because they lost their reputation, it was really a pity that such a good archery skill could not be enlisted.
The young man shrugged his shoulders indifferently, looked indifferent, turned around and wanted to leave.
But the marquis stood in front of him, and shouted in a deep voice: "I'm sorry, you can't leave yet!" ”
"Why?"
"I suspect that you are a spy sent by the Wei State to try to infiltrate our army, you must not leave until your true identity is ascertained!" The military marquis had a high sense of vigilance, this young man was so extraordinary, but he couldn't come up with anything to prove his identity, not even a person who had a guarantee for him, so how could it not be suspicious. Although the military marquis was polite, his attitude had changed greatly, and without his orders, more than a dozen soldiers had already surrounded the young man in the middle.
The young man was extremely angry, and shouted in a deep voice: "It's just blood, it's you who are recruiting soldiers here, you don't want to recruit, and you still slander people like this, I want to see, just a few of you, what ability can keep me?" ”
When the marquis heard this, he concluded that this person had the possibility of being a spy, and immediately pulled his knife in his hand, and was about to step forward to capture the young man.
"Stop!" A broken cry came from behind him, and the military marquis looked back and saw that it was Liu Yin, the general of Anxi, who had arrived, he hurriedly put away his knife and arched his hand: "I've seen the general." ”
"What's going on?" Liu Yin's eyes were stern.
The military marquis said: "General Qiyu, the lowly post is responsible for recruiting troops here, this person has superb archery skills, which is originally in line with the requirements, but he can't take out the famous thorn, and there is no one to guarantee him, the lowly position suspects that this person is a spy of the Wei State, and is about to take down the torture." ”
"Do you suspect that he is a spy of the Wei State, but there is evidence?"
"This ...... Not for the time being, the humble position is just suspicious......" The military marquis stumbled and said.
"Nonsense, there is no evidence, how can you accuse the good of being a traitor, do this, don't you chill the hearts of the righteous people who come to defect! Retire! Liu Yin reprimanded.
The marquis retreated.
Liu Yin arched his hand at the young man's back and said, "The subordinates have offended a lot, and please ask the strong man Haihan." ”
The young man came back and smiled, leaving Liu Yin stunned. (To be continued......)
