Li Taixuan smiled. He had just gone out for a stroll, yet he had actually encountered someone boasting that he could defeat several hundred Turks by himself. Moreover, from the sound of his voice, it seemed that he was a young boy who had yet to enter the stage of voice change.
Even though Li Taixuan could easily kill hundreds or even thousands of Turks with his hammer, and even if he didn't use any techniques, he could still kill five or six or ten of them at will, this didn't mean that the Turks were truly useless. In reality, which Turkic soldier didn't have an arm strength of at least 120 jin? This was almost the standard for joining the army in ancient times.
Even though the Turks were from the steppe and not from the Central Plains, and they did not have any special methods to train their strength, they had grown up on horseback, drawing their bows and nocking their arrows. Although the bow and arrow looked light, it actually required a lot of strength to pull it.
Bows and arrows were divided into 30 jin, 60 jin, 90 jin, and 120 jin bows and arrows. A 120 jin bow and arrow was also known as a stone.
When the grassland people hunted, they usually used bows and arrows that weighed 30 to 60 pounds at home. With more opening and closing, their strength would naturally be trained.
As long as one could be a soldier, they would naturally be stronger than ordinary men. This could be seen from the fact that a 120-pound bow could shoot seven or eight arrows.
And now, a random kid on the road dared to say that he could easily kill a single person and several hundred Turks. Wasn't this a joke?
Strength, numbers, coordination, and equipment were not as simple as one plus one. Not everyone was born with divine strength and cheats like him.
"Wow, you're so amazing! He was actually able to defeat several hundred Turks.”
"Yeah, yeah, four or five of us won't be enough. Even if we attack together, we can only deal with two at most and stall for time.”
For some reason, the friend of the bragging brat did not question him. Instead, he said,
When Li Taixuan heard this, he could not help but mock,"You probably don't know how powerful the Turks are, right? You think you can defeat a few hundred Turks?”
"Who is it? Who was it? Stand up for Yours Truly! How dare you question Yours Truly's power!" Being questioned and ridiculed, the young boy instantly exploded and roared angrily.
Walking quickly around the corner of the street, Li Taixuan saw a boy about eight or nine years old. He was wearing the same obvious fabric as himself, which was not something ordinary people could afford. Beside him stood four or five other boys who were also dressed in extraordinary clothes, ranging from seven to ten years old.
Li Taixuan raised his head and smiled,""I said it. What are you going to do? Fight?"
"Hmph, I am a person of status. How can I casually fight on the street?”That was what the child said, but his eyes betrayed his desire to suppress it. He probably wanted to fight, but he didn't know if his parents taught him not to fight casually.
The child rolled his eyes and pretended to be mature."Judging from your clothes, you're also a person of status. You naturally know how important reputation is to people like us. Now that you've slandered and doubted me, you have to apologize to me immediately. Otherwise, I'll immediately shout for the city guards to arrest you!”
"Yo ~" Li Taixuan sized up the child and teased,""You're bragging again that you can get the city guards to capture me? Who do you think you are, kid? Is the city guard owned by your family?”
"What do you mean again? Although the city guards are not run by my family, I can definitely call them over to arrest you!”The kid was so angry that he stomped his feet.
"Then tell me, who are you?" Li Taixuan smiled cooperatively.”
The child didn't say anything. He turned his head and looked at his follower. The follower immediately understood and said,"Listen up. Our boss's father is the trusted aide of the Tang Emperor, General Chen Yaojin, who is regarded as one of his right-hand men! And our boss is the second son of General Cheng Yaojin, Cheng Chuliang, who is known as the little devil king! How was it? Are you afraid?"
"The second son of the Demon King Cheng Yaojin? No wonder you're so arrogant. Your father has some skills, but you're just so arrogant.”Li Taixuan shook his head and smiled in his heart, but he said,"I've heard of Cheng Yaojin, but what does that have to do with you? His achievements are his, and yours are yours. I believe he can defeat several hundred Turks, but I don't believe you.”
"Bastard, that's because you don't know how powerful I am!”Cheng Chuliang shouted angrily.
At this moment, many commoners had already gathered around. Originally, they were just casually strolling around or selling things on the surrounding roads. However, when they heard about the emperor or the general, they became interested.
"So it's a few second-generation heirs arguing. There's going to be a good show.”
"Isn't that so? However, watching a show is just watching a show. It's better for us to talk less. His background is too great. If we don't speak well, we'll be in trouble.”
"Yes, that's right."
The surrounding commoners whispered to each other.
Cheng Chuliang wasn't impatient at all. Instead, he was very excited and happy. This proved that he was powerful. He could make so many people watch him.
But now, after hearing Li Taixuan's words and the secret words of these commoners, he immediately understood that they had surrounded him for the sake of his father, not because of him.
"Alright, then prove how powerful you are.”Li Taixuan waved his right hand and said with a smile.
"Hmph, I'll prove it, but how should I prove it?”Cheng Chuliang had no objections, but he needed to think about how to prove it.
Li Taixuan didn't say anything. He looked at him quietly with a smile.
"Hey, Little Lord, I heard that the generals who can go to the battlefield are all very powerful and have extraordinary abilities. They are also very strong to be able to use very heavy weapons. Why don't you guys compete in strength?”A rich man couldn't help but say.
"Is that so? Alright, your idea is good.”Cheng Chuliang nodded in realization and then said provocatively,"How is it? Do you have any objections?"
"My name is not that person. Remember, my name is Li Taixuan!”Li Taixuan said his name seriously and continued,"I have no objections. He is right. Strength is also one of the most important skills on the battlefield.”
"Alright, let's do that." Cheng Chuliang clapped his hands excitedly and looked at a pair of stone locks in the distance.
The pair of stone locks were left behind during the conscription in the city. Each of them weighed 60 pounds, and a pair of them weighed 120 pounds. After the conscription, they were left here for the bored commoners to exercise their bodies. At this moment, no one was using them to prove their strength.
