“Why do we need to specifically use catalpa wood?”

In a side courtyard of the manor, Zhong Limo held a leg of lamb in his hand and asked Situ Xi questions while chewing it.

The mutton at lunch had a strong mutton smell, which Situ Xi couldn't get used to, but Zhong Limo liked it very much.

At this time, there were several carpenters in the courtyard making a simple flying disc according to Situ Xi's requirements.

"Of course it's to make it lighter."

Nowadays, there is no plastic, and we have to use local materials, and catalpa wood is the only material around that is relatively light, so Situ Xi specially told them to use catalpa wood to make it.

"Master, do you think this is okay?" After a while, a carpenter came to Zhong Limo with the finished product.

This Frisbee has a convex top and a flat bottom, and is as thick as a thin sheet. After weighing it, Situ Xi felt that the weight seemed to be okay.

"Brother-in-law, why do you want to make it look like this? Wouldn't it be better to just grind it into wood chips?" Zhong Limo kept asking questions.

Naturally, Situ Xi didn't bother to explain to him what Bernoulli's principle was, so he took two steps and handed the Frisbee to his hand.

"After we finish eating, let's go try it. Do I still need to prepare a bow and arrow?"

"That's not necessary. The bows and equipment in the hunting ground are very complete, but my husband needs to go to the stable to choose a good horse first." Zhongli reminded at the side.

Hearing this, Situ Xi suddenly realized that this spring hunting was a large-scale hunting activity organized by the royal family. Participants usually rode horses and shot, but he had never ridden a horse a few times. Last time

I rode it once in a scenic spot when I was traveling.

"Ms. sir, what's wrong?" Zhongli was stunned when he noticed that Situ Xi was suddenly stunned and thought something was wrong.

"Madam, Brother Mo, you'd better teach me how to ride a horse first."

…

"Brother Situ, why... why do you want to ride on the same horse as Mrs. Ling?"

Entering the ranch, Zuo Mingli and Zuo Chenyan were playing Cuju to warm up. When they saw Situ Xi and Zhong Lixin riding the same horse, they were a little confused. There must be many horses in the stable.

Situ Xi held the reins and sat in front of Zhongli Zhen. He had just had a small accident while choosing a horse.

Situ Xi chose the most docile-looking horse. As a result, when he put the harness on the horse and mounted the horse in the stirrups, the horse swayed violently and started running, and he was almost thrown off the horse's back.

Throw it up and down.

This scene frightened Zhongli, so she strongly requested to accompany Situ Xi to prevent any problems from happening again.

Zhong Limo also agreed very much. Their riding skills were personally taught by Zhong Limei when they were young, and Zhong Limin also learned them at the beginning.

"Of course it's to enhance the relationship between husband and wife... Your Highness, this is the Frisbee. It's ready. You can try it and see the effect." Zhong Limo was riding a pony. His horse walked very slowly and kept following Situ.

Behind the tin couple.

Looking at his figure, Situ Xi suddenly felt a little emotional. He heard from Zhong Limei that Brother Mo was exactly ten years old. He had good academic performance, a good emotional intelligence, and could ride a horse. Even Zhong Limei recognized his shooting skills. So

When I think about it, he seems to be a child prodigy.

"Oh? It's done so quickly, let me have a look!"

Upon hearing the news, Zuo Mingli quickly stopped the ball and looked curiously at the round wooden plate in Zhong Limo's hand.

"Huh? It doesn't seem to be anything special. Come here! Bring Xuan Xuan over. I want to try this 'frisbee'."

Zuo Mingli's attendants were immediately ordered to bring his Chow over from the side.

…

The catalpa wood flying disc was thrown into the air by Zuo Mingli. The flying disc spun high and sank slowly in the air. Everyone was watching the wooden disc getting further and further away in the air, while the Chow Chow on the side was briefly watching.

After a pause, he jumped up and followed.

"Not bad! This is fun!" The novelty made everyone present very interested.

Zuo Mingli's eyes lit up when he saw Xuan Xuan chasing after the flying disc.

"This Frisbee is really good. It's much more interesting than throwing pots! I'll find a few craftsmen to make a few carefully and present them to my father during the spring hunting. He has superb shooting skills and will use these Frisbees as flying objects in the air.

Moving the target will definitely make him happy."

Zuo Mingli actually thought of a way to please Emperor Chu while teasing the dog, and he didn't know what Emperor Chu would think if he knew about this.

The Chow Chow quickly ran back with the Frisbee in its teeth, placed it on the open space next to Zuo Mingli, and then stuck out its tongue to claim credit for Zuo Mingli.

"Well done, Hao Hao!" Zuo Mingli must have put a lot of thought into the dog he raised. For domestic dogs, proper encouragement can often make them more active.

"Brother Situ, you have helped me a lot." Zuo Mingli put his arm around Situ Xi's shoulders again very naturally.

"Your Highness, there's no need to be polite. It's just a little effort." This was indeed just a small matter for Situ Xi.

"Oh, it's just that this makes me feel a little embarrassed. I originally planned to defeat my superior, Brother Situ, with the power of weapons in the hunting competition later..." Zuo Mingli scratched his head, smiled casually, and then

Said: "Let's see, Brother Shen Yan, Brother Mo, the four of us will compete for a while to see who can hunt the most prey within the specified time. However, since Brother Situ is not very good at archery, how about specifically allowing the use of crossbows in this competition?"

"Use a crossbow? Your Highness, where did the crossbow machine come from in this pasture?"

"Hehe, what a coincidence, this king happened to bring two of the latest 'Fangs' developed by the masters in the palace during this trip."

As Zuo Mingli spoke, he gestured to the attendants and asked them to come forward with two brocade boxes.

The box was opened and Situ Xi was able to see the items inside the box. When he saw the items in the box, he was a little surprised.

This is actually a two-handled crossbow. The body of the crossbow is small and seems to be made of iron. It is carved with exquisite and complicated patterns. There are fine scales on the top of the crossbow. The bowstring glows with a slight luster under the sunlight.

"Hiss, Your Highness, let me take a look at this crossbow." Zhong Limo was immediately attracted by this domineering hand crossbow.

"Wait, wait! Why do you want this crossbow? You have a bow and arrows and it will be enough. I and Brother Situ each have one of these two sharp teeth. Don't rush to teach Brother Situ the art of archery. If

Later, when Brother Situ defeats me in the competition, I will give this crossbow to him. Currently, only people in my royal family have these sharp teeth."

"Okay! Your Highness, please remember what you promised!" Zhong Limo agreed on Situ Xi's behalf immediately. He was afraid that Zuo Mingli would regret it later.

"Brother Mo, what do you think of this king? Of course I keep what I say. By the way, there is a cub of a deer in the palace, and I will also treat it as a cub!"
