Although this general looked old, his blood was vigorous, and his hands were strong and robust. Even some young generals could not compare to him.
This person was Lianpo, a famous general in the seven countries.
"Since Old General wants to play, how can Zhao Sheng dare to disobey?”Zhao Sheng rarely complimented her.
Lianpo stroked his beard and laughed. He grabbed the bow and walked towards the drill ground. His steps were steady and powerful, and his pace was neither fast nor slow. If it weren't for his white hair, it would be hard to believe that he was an old man over fifty years old.
He stood in the middle of the drill ground, raising the bow of Emperor Yi. His palm rubbed against the bow, and it was very smooth. He couldn't help but praise,"This bow is pretty good."
Lianpo was very popular in the army, even the King of Zhao couldn't compare to him. After seeing this legend of the Zhao army, the soldiers became excited. They fell into a frenzy and shouted Lianpo's name in unison. Their voices were like waves that slammed against the rocks.
Lianpo was already familiar with this. He held the bow tightly and squinted his left eye, aiming at the target 500 meters away. His other hand hooked onto the bowstring. The originally stiff bowstring became soft in Lianpo's hand.
It moved!
The bowstring was pulled!
Then,
reload!
Shoot!
Hit the bullseye!
The bow and arrow hit the target five hundred meters away.
Lianpo kept the bow and stroked his beard. He laughed and said,""I'm old, I'm old. I can only pull one arrow. If I was young, I would have pulled six arrows.”
Xiao Weimou stopped the wine cup in his hand and was surprised."This Lianpo is indeed a famous general. He looks like an old man over fifty years old, but he can pull the King Yi Bow. Even I can only pull one arrow from the eighty-picul bow. If what he said is true, I can't shoot six arrows in a row.”
The young that Lianpo mentioned was the age of Xiao Weimou.
Seeing how strong Lianpo was, Han Jie's body quivered and he thought,""Lianpo of Zhao really lives up to his reputation. Unfortunately, our Han Country doesn't have such a famous general.”
"Old General Lian is indeed powerful. He can actually pull the King Yi Bow.”Zhao Sheng was overjoyed. As long as Lianpo was here, he would be more at ease.
"I used all my strength, but I was only able to pull it a little. It can be seen how much strength the bow requires, let alone hitting the bullseye from five hundred meters away. This Lianpo is indeed terrifying!" Yan Dan also looked at Gao Jianli with a grave expression.
"Indeed, it seems that our Yan Country did not lose unjustly.”Gao Jianli shook his head helplessly.
The Zhao Country defeated the Yan Country, and the leader was Lianpo.
However, Ying Zheng remained calm and composed, not saying a word. He glanced at Lianpo and sighed slightly.
Qi Jian Po Mu, one of the four famous generals of the Warring States Period. Lianpo indeed lived up to his reputation.
Unfortunately, Lianpo was old, could he still eat?
Seeing Ying Zheng's indifference, Zhao Sheng was displeased, so he said loudly,""Young Master Zheng, even Yan Dan can pull the bow of King Yi, and you're extraordinarily brave, able to kill five Zhongshan wolves. I wonder if you'd like to try.”
It was obviously a provocation.
"Since you want to see it, I'll let you broaden your horizons today.”Ying Zheng smiled faintly, stood up, and grabbed the King Yi Bow in Zhao Sheng's hand.
"This is obviously a provocation. Lord Pingyuan deliberately made you embarrassed. How could you fall for such a low-level scheme?”Yan Dan shook his head in disappointment. This was not the Ying Zheng he had imagined.
Seeing that Ying Zheng was about to pull the bow of King Yi, Han Jie didn't even look him in the eye and said scornfully,""It's just a child's play."
When clamor Wei Mouyin wanted to assassinate Ying Zheng, he had investigated Ying Zheng beforehand, but he shook his head, apparently not expecting much from him,""Although they were able to kill five Zhongshan wolves, which one of those armored soldiers couldn't kill five Zhongshan wolves?”
"An eight-year-old kid who isn't even as big as King Yi's bow, and he's already learning archery.”Wei Mou, who was sitting on the side, deliberately raised his voice to mock Ying Zheng, which made the whole room burst into laughter.
"Impudent!" Li Cunxiao's eyes were about to pop out of their sockets. To him, humiliating Ying Zheng was more unbearable than others humiliating him. Murderous intent filled the air, and blood qi surged wildly. It was like a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood that suppressed the heavens. The surroundings instantly fell silent.
Obviously, they were frightened by Li Cunxiao's appearance.
Xiao Weimou's body trembled, but his face was pale. He boasted of his amazing strength, and was originally hired by Zhao Sheng to deal with Li Cunxiao. However, when Li Cunxiao's blood boiled, Xiao Weimou felt like a volcano had erupted and a disaster had descended.
"If I were to fight this fellow, I'm afraid I'm definitely not his match. I might even be instantly killed by him!”A terrifying thought flashed in Wei Mou's mind.
"Cunxiao!" Ying Zheng's gaze swept across Li Cunxiao's body. Li Cunxiao restrained his aura, but his gaze made Wei Mou feel as if he was sitting on pins and needles.
"Tiger General is not inferior to this old man!" Lianpo looked at Li Cunxiao thoughtfully, and then, his eyes fell on Ying Zheng. He saw that Ying Zheng had already come before the bow of King Yi.
He raised his hand and picked up the bow.
"According to the legends, this Ying Zheng killed five Zhongshan wolves in a row.”Lianpo couldn't help but praise in his heart.
Seeing that Ying Zheng had really picked up the bow, Zhao Sheng was also a little surprised. This bow was mainly made of obsidian from the northern grasslands. Under the conditions of high temperature and high pressure, the obsidian was softened, but it could not be dissolved. One could imagine how dense it was.
After the obsidian softened, he poured in the prepared molten iron and struck it fiercely and evenly for seven days and seven nights before he could make the rough embryo of the bow. If he wanted to forge a complete bow, he would need three months.
The weight of the bow was so heavy that even many adults would not be able to lift it up. But now, Ying Zheng was able to lift it up with ease. He was even more outstanding than Yan Dan.
However, Zhao Sheng was only a little surprised. After all, he had killed five Zhongshan wolves in the records. It was not something that an ordinary adult could describe.
Han Jie could not help but take another glance at Ying Zheng, but he did not think much of it. After all, Yan Dan could also lift the King Yi Bow.
Holding the bow of King Yi, Ying Zheng came to the center of the drill ground, aimed at the bullseye, and revealed a confident smile. He gripped the bow tightly. His movements were smooth and fluid.
"Not bad." Seeing Ying Zheng drawing the bow, Wei Mou nodded in agreement. However, he was a swordsman. His understanding of archery was very shallow. Even if it was very shallow, it was much deeper than most people.
To get a nod from Wei Mou and a 'not bad' was something that many people in Wei Country dreamed of.
"It's a little flashy." Han Jie didn't think much of it.
Lianpo's heart tightened, and he took a few more glances at Ying Zheng. He found that Ying Zheng's shooting style was slightly different from his, but he did not notice the difference. However, he found that the difference enlightened him, and he suddenly felt like he was about to make a breakthrough.
The more he compared, the more shocked he was. On the contrary, the more he compared himself, the more impatient he seemed.
In the end, Lianpo sucked in a breath of cold air and looked at Ying Zheng in disbelief. He felt that Ying Zheng's actions were in line with the integration of Heaven and man. With just one pull of the bow, he could already feel the extraordinariness of it.
In comparison, his archery skills were like child's play.
No, he didn't believe that the shooting skills he had painstakingly summed up in his 40 years of military life were actually rubbish.
Ying Zheng's raising of his hand was the art of the integration of Heaven and man. He practiced the Art of the Son of Heaven's Seal, and almost every movement he made was in accordance with the principle of Heaven and man. The drawing of the bow seemed casual, but it was full of mysteries.
Lianpo grabbed the wine pot and drank it down. The more he drank, the more frustrated and shocked Lianpo became. He threw the wine pot aside and shouted to the servant,""Bring the wine!"
The attendant was shocked. Luckily, Lianpo didn't have the habit of killing people, or else she would have fainted. She brought a few servants and ran into the wine cellar to bring it to the general of Zhao.
She noticed that this famous general from the Warring States Period had a depressed expression on his face.
