Chapter 139 Forbidden Army Crossbow Instructor

Nancheng, Beijing,

Lobby of Youlai Inn,

Lin Zhenhong, the commander of the Military and Horse Division, was also unambiguous. After speaking, he took a hard bite of the mutton in his hand, swallowed it directly without chewing it, and then said,

"Why did I come to you? Of course I have something to ask for!"

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly started to cry loudly, the sound of crying was loud, and big tears flowed down.

Everyone was caught off guard and froze there. Wasn't it nice just now?

Zhang Jinyu also took a sip and downed the mutton soup in his mouth. It was so hot. This guy was really interesting. Hiss, it was hot.

Qin Ye patted Lieutenant Lin on the shoulder, seeming to comfort but also scolding,

"Speak clearly when you have something to say, and you can speak out when you have grievances. How to act like a daughter and make people laugh."

Lin Xiaowei wiped his tears with his sleeves, and then told the whole story. It turned out that Lin Xiaowei's master was once the chief crossbow archer of the 200,000-strong Forbidden Army. His name was Dong Zhongyuan.

When he became the deputy commander, he immediately found a reason to open a vacancy and go home. He was also assigned to the city gate as a guard captain.

Zhang Jinyu nodded after hearing this. The punishment was severe, but it was not an excuse for drinking and causing trouble.

"What you said is true for the time being. Although the punishment is a bit severe, you can't drink and mess up. This is a taboo in the military."

"The Marquis is right, but do you know why you drank? It was because you attended the commander-in-chief's birthday banquet and was toasted by all the generals. Drink a few more drinks. My master does not know how to drink, which is why today's disaster happened. On that occasion, you

It would be disrespectful not to drink."

"That's true. What do you want to say, or do you want my help in making peace?"

Lieutenant Lin stood up and knelt down, begging,

"I dare not trouble the Marquis to make peace with him. My master is still young and powerful, and he has a great shooting skills. With him in this competition, I will surely make the Marquis win the championship. I sincerely ask the Marquis to take him under his wing."

"Oh, you are so confident, a sharpshooter. Not just anyone can call you that. You know the Jurchens' vulture shooters, they are the best."

Lieutenant Lin became anxious and said hurriedly,

"Master Marquis, my master is by no means worse than a vulture shooter, or even better, even though my shooting skills are second to none in the capital."

After hearing this, Zhang Jinyu looked at her face to face. She didn't look outstanding, she was just a little bit shabby. She was really fake, but her eyes were full of seriousness. It couldn't be fake, so she could give it a try.

"What proof is there?"

"Yes, all bows and crossbows are within a hundred paces, you can shoot them wherever you point."

"Okay, come here, take one of our hand crossbows and give it to Colonel Lin and let him try it out."

Zhang Jinyu also wanted to see Colonel Lin's heroic spirit.

The guard came over and handed over a pair of hand crossbows. Captain Lin strung the crossbow, then pulled off the cloth strip from his waist, blindfolded his eyes and said,

"Master Marquis, there is a sheep's head nose ring behind the hall. This crossbow arrow will definitely hit the middle."

Zhang Jinyu stood up and looked towards the lobby at the back. About a hundred steps away, there was a sheep's head hanging on the back wall. There was indeed a nose ring half the size of a palm. Captain Lin was blindfolded and adjusting it with his hands.

After a while,

With a "swish" sound, the crossbow arrow flew out, and then there was a "thud" sound from the wall. The crossbow arrow was nailed to the wall. A guard ran to take a look.

"Master Hou, right in the middle of the ring."

Zhang Jinyu immediately became interested in talents. This is the ancient version of a sniper, but it still needs to be hammered and hammered for my use.

"I can accept you and your master, but one thing must be agreed upon first. Drinking is absolutely not allowed in the army, and military orders must be followed. Otherwise, you will come and go wherever you want."

Lieutenant Lin knelt down and thanked him directly.

"Thank you, Lord Marquis. Thank you, Lord Marquis. Lord Marquis, the master has a stubborn temper. The imperial army once asked him to go back, but he didn't reply. I'm afraid I can't persuade him, Lord Marquis."

Qin Ye looked at the person kneeling on the ground with wide eyes, and he put on an air of dignity and said:

"You, you even put it on the shelf."

"Please, Lord Marquis."

Lieutenant Lin was still kneeling there, and Zhang Jinyu also had a headache.

"Where does your master live? Is it far away?"

"Go back to Lord Marquis. It's not far, right behind this inn."

"Okay, then I will go. I am also a corporal of courtesy. A few people will go with me. The rest will stay here to accompany Mr. Qin."

How could Qin Ye be willing? It would be a day full of twists and turns, but it was better to watch it in front of him. If he was intercepted along the way, the days of waiting would be a loss.

"Hey, Lord Marquis, I'll accompany you to have a look. I'm very familiar with Nancheng."

Zhang Jinyu thought about it for a while and agreed. The group of people walked out of the inn and bought some pastries as gifts from the pastry shop. They went to the market behind the inn, turned a corner and came to a dilapidated house.

Coach Dong Zhongyuan.

Dong Zhongyuan squatted on the pillar next to the stone mill in the yard, wiping a long bow with a rag, a bamboo hat, a raincoat, and an old helmet, randomly placed them, squinting at Lin Zhenhong, and then cast his gaze on

Zhang Jinyu and Qin Ye secretly said that it was rare for people in the army to dress up like this, so they frowned and said;

"Why are you so excited?"

Captain Lin replied;

"Master, apprentice comes to see you."

"Hmph, it's not the New Year or the festival, what is there to see here?"

Then he glanced at the gift boxes and pastries in everyone's hands and said;

"When you are so courteous to others, you must ask for something. This general looks surprised. What do you want to do next time?"

Lin Zhenhong was about to speak when he was stopped by Zhang Jinyu, who stepped forward and cupped his fists;

"I have met the instructor, I am the Marquis of Luoyun, Zhang Jinyu. I heard that the instructor is good at bow and crossbow, and he is the best shot in the army. I came here to ask the instructor to join our army outside the pass and teach the soldiers the art of crossbow."

Dong Zhongyuan put down the rag in his hand and sneered,

"Master Marquis is just entertaining me. The soldiers outside the pass are very popular in the pass. What kind of teachings are there? There is still a need for me to settle down."

After hearing this, Zhang Jinyu didn't want to leave, so she sat down on another pier.

"In my eyes, there is no such thing as a bad settlement. They are all brothers and sisters of Zhang Jinyu in our army. Your apprentice is a city gate captain who is full of martial arts. He is overqualified and underused. He has been like this all his life. Don't feel guilty. Besides, your shooting skills have always been good.

It’s a shortcoming outside the customs.”

Dong Zhongyuan looked at his apprentice and his eyes darkened.

"I was the one who brought Zhenhong into trouble. Does the Marquis really lead his soldiers like brothers?"

Lieutenant Lin's eyes were red and he softly called Master.

Qin Ye couldn't stand it anymore and came over to persuade him,

"You stubborn old man, the Marquis and your apprentice have come in person, and you are still not satisfied. As for the question you asked, I can say that there are no other places in Dawu except Guan. The old man and the Marquis haven't eaten just now. The relatives beside him

Weidu went to eat first, and the food he ate was the same. If you don’t believe me, ask your apprentice, we didn’t know anything happened to you.”

Dong Zhongyuan looked at his apprentice,

"But this?"

"Yes, I also made a temporary decision. It just so happens that Mr. Hou comes here after shopping, otherwise I would go to the Hou Mansion to look for it."

Only then did Dong Zhongyuan believe what Mr. Hou said, it was rare to find such a high official.

"Okay, I agreed, but does the Marquis want to win the big competition, or the mounted archery outside the customs?"

"Is there a difference?"

Zhang Jinyu is very knowledgeable about archery and knows nothing about it.

Dong Zhongyuan chuckled,

"Master Hou, the competition is mainly about fixed targets and moving targets. It depends on training. If it is mounted shooting outside the customs, it is used for killing people on the battlefield. It is necessary to practice the feeling. The grassland people rely on this feeling to win the world of mounted shooting.

Unparalleled."

"Okay, I saw the right person. I won the competition first, and I am practicing cavalry and archery. This time, the competition has separate troops and lieutenants. They compete alone and ride and shoot alone. You come to compete and make the Forbidden Army regret it. You have the guts!"

Zhang Jinyu deliberately mentioned the Forbidden Army and used it to stimulate Dong Zhongyuan. Sure enough, when he heard the Marquis mention the Forbidden Army, the old teacher's hand held the archer tightly, and blue veins popped out.

"Don't worry, Lord Marquis, in this competition, you will definitely come first in archery."

"Okay, you guys put your things away, I'll hold them for you."

Zhang Jinyu took the things with others, including pastries and was about to enter the house. Dong Zhongyuan hesitated.

"Master Hou, the house is in a mess and I don't dare to entertain guests."

"Unexpectedly, Professor Dong must have had a hard time these past few years."
