Chapter 260 Valley Safari

Twenty miles away from the city, cross the Ba River, there is a dense forest. When you reach the end along the dense forest path, you will find a mountain with a small mouth hidden in the lush forest. When you enter it again, you will suddenly see it. It is a valley.

When I went out in the morning, I was almost noon. But the group was not tired at all. Li Mu was excited because he saw his valley for the first time, while Li Chengqian and the students of Chongwenguan were like a group of birds out of the cage. They were eager to fly high, and they were not happy enough, so they would not feel tired.

Only one person is really tired. Not only is he tired, but he is almost broken up. This person's surname is Kong Yingda. He was brought in early this morning and was about to spit out bile.

"Li Mu, didn't you say you wanted to attend classes? Why did you come to such a wilderness? The prince is noble and these students are very popular. If something happens, can you afford it? I can't indulge you anymore. I will definitely study your book, I want to study your - uh!!"

Li Mu jumped out of the carriage, patted Kong Yingda on the back, and said, "Old Kong, if I were you, I wouldn't say such words now. You know it's from the wilderness. If I'm in a bad mood and kill you, I'll buried it on the spot - would anyone know?"

Kong Yingda's face turned green and she said in surprise: "Dare you threaten me?"

"I dare to kidnap you, what else can I dare not?" Li Mu chuckled and said, "Besides, Old Kong, I can bring these students here, which has something to do with you. If you don't agree, how can I bring them out?"

Kong Yingda gritted her teeth and said, "I am deceived by you!"

"Who is that damn? You're stupid." Li Mu laughed and turned around and shouted to the students: "Each person has a bow and ten arrows. Today's rule is to eat your own prey, and you can't catch prey and starve. You deserve to starve to death. Do you understand?"

"I understand!" The students were eager to try.

Li Mu waved his hand to Li Chongyi, and Li Chongyi understood and went to distribute bows and arrows to the students. Kong Yingda looked at him, his heart tugged, and murmured to himself: "If you hurt one, how can you explain it? If you hurt the prince, how should I face Your Majesty--"

Li Mu took a bow and arrow, handed it to Kong Yingda, and said, "Old Kong, go hunting?"

Kong Yingda pushed it back and said angrily: "I don't know how to bow and arrow!"

"No, right," Li Mu teased: "Old Confucius, among the six arts of gentlemen, there is the item of 'ejaculation'. You don't know how to do it. You really feel ashamed of your ancestors."

Kong Yingda stared at him and argued: "The six arts of gentlemen are rituals. Shooting is called white arrows, sanlian, sanzhu, Xiangzi, and Jingyi, it is—"

"Okay, okay, don't drop the book bag with me. No, no, I don't know, what can I explain." Li Mu threw the bow and arrow back to Li Chongyi and said, "Anyway, the rules have been set. When you come out today, you can only eat the prey you hunted. If you don't know how to bow and arrow, use a shovel to dig a trap, otherwise you will be hungry."

"I would rather be hungry!"

"Then you're hungry, who are you scaring?" Li Mu said "典", threw Kong Yingda down, and boarded the carriage again.

Although there is not cold outside the valley, it is also a cold wind. Kong Yingda's outfit is worn by the students in the palace, and it cannot withstand the cold wind. He is not like Li Mu, wearing a tiger fur that is invincible with the cold and heat. After standing for a while, he shivered a little.

Kong Yingda looked at Li Mu's carriage and wanted to be more stern, but then he thought that he would not care about the backbone he wanted with Li Mu and others. After hesitating for a moment, this backbone was exhaled, and he curled his hands in his sleeves and climbed onto Li Mu's carriage.

Li Mu's carriage was wide, not to mention one more person, it would be fine to do three or four more people. Kong Yingda came into the car and thought he would be ridiculed by Li Mu, but to his surprise, when Li Mu saw him getting into the car, he just took a look and then lowered his head and continued to tinker with the mechanism in his hand.

Seeing that Li Mu kept fiddling with the things in his hand, Kong Yingda was also a little curious. He stared at him for a while, frowned and said uncertainly: "Is this Zhuge Crossbow?"

"Oh!" Li Mu was quite surprised and looked up and said, "Old Kong, do you actually recognize him?"

"I guess it's quite similar to the records in the book." Kong Yingda had a stern face, not happy because of Li Mu's praise, and glanced at it again, saying, "The Zhuge crossbow has been lost since the Wei and Jin Dynasties. Is the crossbow you made good? Don't be just a sign of it."

Li Mu stuck the last spring to the position, calibrated the crossbow arm, and said, "Old Kong, you can doubt anything about me, but you can't doubt my skills. When did the things I, Li Mu, have made me just shown?"

"I just don't believe it, everything you make is suitable."

Li Mu smiled and said, "I'm right about this for you. Not everything is suitable for use, but I won't take it out if it doesn't work."

“…”

Li Mu held the "arrow cassette" on it, stuffed ten short arrows into the arrow cassette, handed it to Kong Yingda, and said, "Old Kong, with my weapon, you will definitely be able to hunt things, don't you try it?"

"I won't try!" Kong Yingda said angrily: "Li Mu, you did it on purpose today. You are not trying to attend classes. You are just trying to do something with the students."

Li Mu raised his eyebrows and said, "Old Confucius, if you see through my educational methods, you will write "Talents" again."

"You!" Kong Yingda was so angry that his beard raised up and hummed, "I will wait and see."

"It's all right." Li Mu said, jumping out of the carriage. Just then, the students who had shot ten arrows had already returned, including Li Chengqian.

At this time, the suburbs were not like later generations, and even a bird could not be seen. In this valley, there were all birds and animals. If the archer was here, ten arrows could get three or five prey, but it would be a bit difficult for these princes who had been frugal since childhood. Li Mu looked at the things in the hands of these returning people. He was lucky enough to hunt pheasants and hares, but he was not lucky, just like Li Chengqian, he didn't even get a single hair.

"You bunch of trash!" Li Mu came to the dejected people and cursed bluntly: "I ejaculated very quickly, where are the prey? Are there only a few pheasants and hares, enough to get between their teeth? And you!" Li Mu looked at Li Chengqian and said: "I always want to be a general. I thought you could have some ability. Where is your prey? There is not a single hair, just be a general like this?"

"It's just a little bit! If there was one more arrow, I would definitely be able to shoot the hare!"

"On the battlefield, it is changing rapidly. Do you know that when the real battle is true, it is very good that the archers can have ten arrows. Most of the time, there are not even five arrows! Even if there are, they are not as good as you use them. They are all well-equipped with arrows and feathers. Many of them are bald and have no arrow clusters. You can use them with a knife to cut a sharp point. You can kill the enemy?"

Li Mu glanced at everyone and scolded: "One of your fathers, one of them is all struggling on the battlefield. Which one can't pull a bow and shoot arrows? Look at you again, even ten arrows can't shoot prey, and there is still a face standing in front of me?"

After the range attack was completed, Li Mu aimed at Li Chengqian and outputted firepower and said, "Chengqian, it would be fine if others could not shoot. Maybe they don't have talent, but if you can't shoot, it's definitely your own problem!"

"Dou Yi, the father of Empress Dou in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, was a Shangzhu Kingdom in Northern Zhou Dynasty. He thought that his daughter was not an ordinary person and could not marry an ordinary person. So he thought of a way and asked someone to draw two peacocks on the door screen. Anyone who shot one peacock's eyes from two arrows would be called a son-in-law. Dozens of people did not shoot, and it was the Emperor's turn to test the shooting, and even two arrows were shot. When the Emperor was young, he had the ability to penetrate the Yang hundred steps, let alone His Majesty. At the age of fifteen, he could take the bow and kill the enemy with his eyes closed. Why did he come to you and even a rabbit can't shoot. What's your face? Li Chengqian!"

Li Chengqian lowered his head in shame, clenched his fists tightly, and said, "Brother, I will definitely practice hard!"

"Just know your shortcomings." Li Mu was so excited about cursing that he picked up Zhuge Crossbow and said, "Come with me, brother, let me demonstrate my latest invention to you."

"What is the latest invention? I want to see it too."

When Li Mu heard this familiar voice, his body stiffened and slowly turned around. He saw Li Shimin who was as heavy as water. He followed Eunuch Gao behind him. Looking back, a team of Xuan Armored Imperial Guards, although there was a distance between them, still looked heart-wrenching.

Everyone hurriedly bowed down. Li Shimin came to Li Mu and said angrily: "Li Mu, you are so brave. You dare to bring the prince to this wilderness without my permission. How many heads do you have? You dare to be so arrogant!"

"Your Majesty, I am teaching the prince. This is something I have discussed with Confucius. Why? Didn't Confucius ask you for instructions? This old Confucius is so confused!"

"Ha, I've put the blame on Kong Yingda." Li Shimin was prepared for a long time. As soon as he reached out, Eunuch Gao quickly handed over a folded note. Li Shimin threw the note to Li Mu, which was written by Kong Yingda.

Li Mu couldn't help but be angry, and he didn't expect that Lao Kong would have such a move.

At this time, Kong Yingda also heard the sound from the carriage. When he saw Li Shimin, he seemed to have seen a savior. He hurriedly bowed: "Your Majesty, have you seen the note of me? Li Mu is so bold that he actually took the prince and the students of Chongwenguan. He could not escape the blame!"

"He said it was for the teaching," Li Shimin looked at Li Mu with a smile and said, "Boy, I will give you a chance. If you can teach something serious, I will assume that you are teaching. Otherwise, you will be forced to the prince and will be punished. I will have to punish you."

"Of course I am teaching. I want to teach the prince a set of military methods." Li Mu said with a tough bullet. In fact, he was already panicked. He brought Li Chengqian out today, because he wanted to come to see this valley and test the power of Zhuge Crossbow. At the same time, he was also pitiful. Mr. Li Chengqian was holding it in the East Palace and took him out to let go, and gave him a set of military chess that he had nothing to do.

The "method of military exercise" mentioned by Li Mu is about military chess. Of course, the chess pieces have been slightly changed. Without the modern titles of commander, commander, division commander, and other modern titles, they are replaced by generals, generals, generals, lieutenants, lieutenants, team commanders, team commanders, and squads. Bombs and landmines have also been changed to "Sky Fire" and "Stealing Pit", which have the same functions.

Li Mu himself didn't know if this was a method of military exercise, but for eleven or twelve-year-olds, it was certain that it would be fun. Now that Li Shimin asked, Li Mu had to take out the military chess and hand over the deal. Unexpectedly, the effect was extraordinary. This set of military chess not only attracted the attention of Li Chengqian and other students in Chongwenguan, but even Li Shimin was caught in it and had a lot of fun. With him playing, the other children could only watch it. Li Mu couldn't stand it and he couldn't help but reminded in a low voice: "Your Majesty, it's almost done. This is for the prince. It is used to learn military exercises, not toys."

"It's really interesting." Li Shimin put down the chess piece with some conscience and said, "Although this thing cannot be thoroughly changed on the battlefield, it is a rare good thing for beginners. Especially the gameplay of "dark chess", which is in line with the essence of placing troops and setting up formations. It's so wonderful! Li Mu, how did you think of it if you haven't brought any troops?"

Li Mu coughed lightly and said modestly: "Your Majesty, I have just read the "Sun Bin Art of War" several times. It is still very rough. When I have time, I will study it."

"It's already very good." Li Shimin stroked the chess piece, unable to help it, and said, "You can also carve a pair for me. I have nothing to do, so I will also study it. Maybe it's unknown how to make your chess set go further."

Li Mu had to agree. Li Shimin played another game, killed Li Mu until he didn't leave any armor, and then he threw the chess piece with satisfaction and gave it to Li Chengqian and his classmates.

"Is this Zhuge Crossbow?" Li Shimin had long noticed the crossbow arrow in Li Mu's hand, and reached out to take it and checked it carefully. He had seen almost every kind of military order in his life, but this was the first time he had seen a real object in Zhuge Crossbow. The fine structure made him amazed.

"Can you really get ten consecutive shots?"

"Your Majesty may wish to give it a try."

Li Shimin nodded, looked around and selected a small tree that was neither thick nor thin. It was about fifty steps away. He straightened his arm and pointed it at it, and asked, "Tighten this machine?"

"Yes, this thing is called the trigger." Li Mu introduced next to him: "The gap in the middle here is called the velocity. You can just aim the gap at which target Your Majesty wants to shoot. The distance of fifty steps is almost unnecessary."

"Is it so magical?" Li Shimin was a little suspicious, but he still did what Li Mu said, aiming at the gap and pulling the trigger.

call out!

The strong wind and arrows were shaking! Li Shimin was startled. Looking at the small tree again, the iron arrow had pierced into the trunk. If he were alone, he would definitely not be alive.

"It's so powerful!"

"Your Majesty, shoot continuously."

Li Shimin nodded and pulled the trigger continuously. The crossbow arrows were one after another, including the force of the recoil, which made his arm muscles a little ached. He insisted on shooting the ten arrows. Li Shimin's arm drooped, took a breath and said, "This crossbow has such a strong force of the recoil!"

"How powerful does Your Majesty think?"
