"Are you sure? Zhu the Fifth?"
Xu Da put down the military report in his hand and looked at Zhu Neng in disbelief.
"Yes, Great General!"
Zhu Neng cupped his hands and praised on Zhu Rong's behalf." Brother Wulang can easily draw a ten-stone bow to a full moon. He even thought that the ten-stone bow was too light and wanted to find a heavier bow. After bidding, he thought of the Great General's twelve-stone bow.”
To be honest, Xu Da was in a daze right now.
Zhu Xi could draw a ten-stone bow? A full moon?
How could he not know?
But looking at Zhu Neng's expression, it was obvious that he did not lie, nor did he dare to lie. After all, there was no joking in the military. If he dared to lie, he would be punished by military law.
"Take it!"
Xu Da thought for a moment and walked to the shelf. He handed the twelve crossbow that had been sealed for a long time to Zhu Neng and said with a smile,"I hope this Zhu the Fifth has the ability to take away my treasured bow.”
"Thank you, Great General!"
Zhu Neng took the twelve stone bows with both hands and left the tent in ecstasy.
"Does Zhu Rong have that much strength?”
Xu Da muttered to himself with some suspicion. A few years ago, he had occasionally taught Zhu Rong archery. Although his aptitude was not bad, he did not seem to have any innate divine strength!
Could it be that he suddenly possessed an innate divine strength?
Xu Da secretly guessed that this kind of special situation had happened before in history.
"If this can draw a twelve stone bow, then it will be interesting.”
"Hehe, Zhu Zhongba really gave me a good son-in-law.”
"No, I have to drag Zhu Zhongba along to take a look.”
As Xu Da spoke, he left the tent and headed towards the tent where Zhu Di was being treated.
..
"Twelve stone bows?"
Zhu Yuanzhang was so shocked that he almost jumped up. He stared at Xu Da with his eyes wide open and said,"Tiande, are you joking with us?”
"Your Majesty, although I didn't see it with my own eyes, I'm afraid it's true.”
"I have an impression of that Xiao Qi who came to help the King of Wu get a bow. He is one of the few archery experts in the military camp who can fire ten bows.”
"If he hadn't been convinced, he wouldn't have willingly helped the King of Wu to get a bow.”
After hearing Xu Da's words, not only Zhu Yuanzhang, but even Zhu Biao and Zhu Di were stunned.
Especially Zhu Di.
He knew very well what it meant to draw a ten-stone bow. In the entire Great Ming Empire, the number of people who could draw a ten-stone bow for a full month could be counted on one hand.
Not to mention the twelve stone bows.
Even he could barely pull the twelve stone bows. It was impossible for him to pull the bow and load the arrows.
However, Old Fifth, who only knew how to farm, actually said that he wanted to play with the twelve crossbow.
Zhu Di was stunned.
"Father, Uncle Xu, why don't we go and take a look?”
Zhu Biao suggested to the two elders when he saw that the situation was a little tense.
"Good! I'm going to see if Fifth Brother has real ability or is just bragging.”
Zhu Yuanzhang stood up and walked out of the tent. Xu Da followed closely behind.
Zhu Biao also prepared to leave. Zhu Xiong was still injured, and now he had to fire the twelve stone bow. He was a little worried.
"Big brother, I want to go too!"
Zhu Di endured the pain, propped up his upper body, and waved at Zhu Biao.
"You can do it!"
Opening a twelve-stone bow was a rare scene in history. Zhu Biao knew Zhu Di's obsession, so he only hesitated for a moment before supporting him.
...
At the shooting range.
"Brother Wulang, I've got the twelve stone bows for you. Hurry up and try them!”
Zhu Neng handed the treasured bow to Zhu Rong, somewhat impatient to see the famous scene of the twelve crossbows.
The bow was slightly heavy in his hand, and he could not tell what kind of wood it was made of.
The bowstring wasn't as thick as he had imagined. It was about the same as Zhu Neng's ten-stone bow.
Zhu Rong stretched out his fingers and gave it a simple tug, and his eyes immediately shone with a pleasantly surprised light.
Hard, very hard, very hard.
Compared to Zhu Neng's ten-stone bow, Zhu Rong felt that this twelve-stone bow was almost twice as hard. No wonder Zhu Neng said that he couldn't even pull this bow.
"Good bow!"
Zhu Xiong laughed and praised.
"It's not just a good bow, it's a precious bow!”
Zhu Neng smiled and handed an arrow to Zhu Rong." Hurry up and give it a try. Everyone is waiting!"”
"It's better to accept it than to respect it!"
Zhu Rong smiled and bent his legs slightly. His attitude towards the ten crossbow was completely different from before.
Zhu Yuanzhang and the others, who were standing not far away, saw this scene.
"Old Fifth, this little brat, really wants to play with the twelve crossbow!”
Zhu Yuanzhang was shocked.
"Imperial Father, should we stop Old Fifth? The twelve stone bow is no joke. Moreover, he is still injured!”
Besides shock, Zhu Biao was more worried.
As for Zhu Di, he clenched his fists tightly and stared at Zhu Xiong's movements.
There was no one here who wanted to see the scene of the twelve crossbows being fired more than him.
"That's enough, Boss. Don't treat No. 5 as an insensible child all day long. He knows his limits. Just watch him carefully!”
Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but lecture Zhu Biao.
"Father is right."
Zhu Biao laughed at himself. He was really worried. How could a cunning Fifth Brother hurt himself just because he was playing with a bow?
"It's open, it's open!"
Xu Da's excited voice rang out. Zhu Yuanzhang and the others immediately looked over.
Zhu Xiong nocked an arrow with two fingers and drew the bow. Although he did not draw it to the full extent, it was about seventy percent drawn.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Zhu Rong. Even the idle soldiers around him were attracted.
Whoosh ~
buzz ~
The arrow left the bowstring. The enormous thrust produced by the twelve stone bows gave the arrow a speed that was almost invisible to the naked eye.
Two hundred steps away.
In the blink of an eye, the arrow hit the target.
"He hit it, he hit it, he really hit the bullseye!”
The soldiers who were looking at the target screamed excitedly, and the entire stadium instantly cheered.
"Amazing!"
"Where did this little kid come from? Two hundred steps away and he hit the bullseye.”
"Isn't that the Great General's twelve picul bow?”
"Hehe, that's true. It seems that the Great General is going to hand over this treasured bow.”
....
"Looks like Fifth Brother hid his strength in the past!”
Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head in surprise."He really did fire the twelve stone bows.”
"He fired twelve stone bows and hit the bullseye from two hundred steps away. King Wu's archery skills are definitely second to none in our Great Ming Army.”
At this moment, Xu Da was overjoyed. He laughed loudly at Zhu Yuanzhang and said,"Zhu Zhongba, you really gave me a good son-in-law. He's both skilled in both literature and martial arts!”
"Tsk!"
"I don't know who it was before, but he despised Fifth Brother for being a farmer and was unwilling to marry his daughter to him."”
Xu Da was speechless.
...
"Brother Wulang, amazing, really amazing!”
Zhu Neng gave Zhu Rong two thumbs up sincerely and took out another arrow." Do you want more?"”
"No, no, no, I'm not coming!"
Zhu Rong waved his hand and refused." This twelve stone bow is no joke. If I were to shoot it again, I'm afraid the wound on my back would burst open.”
"Little brother, your archery skills are so superb. Why don't you take this opportunity to teach us a few moves so that we can kill two more Mongolians on the battlefield?”
Suddenly, a voice came from the crowd.
Instantly, everyone began to jeer.
He asked Zhu Rong to teach them some archery techniques.
"Brother Wulang, you see how enthusiastic our brothers are, so open your mouth and say a few words!”
Zhu Neng also joined the crowd.
"This…"
"Alright then!" Zhu Rong smiled after pondering for a moment.”
