At this time, some memories came to Qin Mubai's mind and told him that since he was a child, he was the worst in martial arts among the three brothers. This is undoubtedly the most embarrassing thing for the descendants of the generals. Not only that, "he" has been naughty since he was a child.
He is rebellious, has no skills in literature or martial arts, he only likes flying eagles and lackeys, fighting cocks and gambling for money, and his conduct seems a bit bad, making him look like a rich second-generation playboy who is ignorant.
The Qin family has always had a strict family tradition, so Qin Shubao and his two half-brothers were a little disappointed and annoyed with themselves. No wonder they were kicked out of the family early and thrown into the army. They did not return home for three years and did not receive any promotion.
"Well, this archery competition should be regarded as the first battle for me, Qin Mubai, to clear my name after returning!"
With a smile on his face, Qin Mubai and his two brothers took the bows and arrows from the weapons rack, put on the arrow pots, and walked to the archery competition field.
"Hehe, dad, do you think the third brother is very different from before when he comes back this time?" Qin Shuang'er said in a low voice, "Shuang'er thinks he is much more sensible than before. He is less Meng Lang and more calm.
Look at his calm and confident demeanor now, he looks a bit like his father!"
"Si Ya'er is sweet-mouthed, but you can't just protect your third brother. At the age of eighteen or nineteen, it's time to be sensible. When my father was his age, he was already leading troops and horses to rush into the city and evict the stronghold." Qin Shubao fussed.
Looking at Qin Shuang'er's head, a pair of old falcon-like eyes stared at the three people in the field, and said calmly, "For a warrior, it is fundamental to have a true chapter under his command, otherwise no matter how good his demeanor is, it will just be a pretense."
Qin Shuang'er pouted and protested: "Dad, why do you just beg the third brother like that? It's really unfair!"
"Are you asking for it?" Qin Shubao laughed, patted her on the head and said, "Stop arguing, let's watch your three brothers compete in archery!"
Qin Mubai took a closer look at the bow and arrow in his hand. The traditional Chinese composite reflex bow is slightly different from the modern bow he used for training and competition in the 21st century. The bow body is made of fine boxwood mixed with animal horn.
It is made of a strong and powerful bow that has a long range and requires about a hundred kilograms of force to pull it open. Using the current military practice of the Tang Dynasty as an example, this is the standard "longbow" used by infantry.
Qin Mubai believes that he can shoot this kind of arrow well, just because he uses a little more force than before. After he traveled through time, his strength exploded to almost twice that of ordinary people, and he could shoot this kind of arrow with just one stone.
The bow is a trivial matter.
"Two worthy brothers, how do you compare?" the eldest brother Qin Tong spoke.
"Just listen to my brother's arrangements." Qin Mubai and Qin Bin both said.
"Okay. Father just mentioned the Six Arts, so let's compete according to the standards of the Six Arts Archery." Qin Tong said, "Let's compete in 'Shenlian'."
"Okay." The two of them responded together. But Qin Mubai was beating a drum in his heart: What is Shenlian? The routine of archery among the six Confucian arts is really complicated. Forget it, I'll watch them shoot first.
"Brother, please go first." So, Qin Mubai said.
"Yes." Qin Tong responded, with a slight grin on his face and a smile full of superiority on his face. He loaded the bow and aimed an arrow at the target dozens of meters away.
With a "click" sound, it hit the target.
Qin Mubai's heart trembled: Good archery skills! Who said that the ancients would definitely lose to today's people? It is not difficult for a good archer in the cold weapon era to become a professional archery athlete in modern times!
Immediately afterwards, Qin Tong fired three arrows in succession, all of which hit the target. The four arrows were arranged neatly in a row, just like the character "一" in a stroke.
"My eldest brother has always been the most skilled in archery. How can my third brother and I have any chance of winning?" Qin Bin said from the side, with obvious envy and amazement in his words.
"After the four arrows hit the target, they lined up in a row. It turns out that this is a 'joining arrow'. I used to play this little thing with my teammates. Not only did the arrows shoot into the character 'one', but also the character 'zig'."
I've ejaculated before." Qin Mubai smiled casually and thought to himself.
"It's your turn, second brother." Qin Tong laughed a few times and clapped his hands and said.
"It's better to be respectful, little brother." Qin Bin turned around and looked at Qin Shubao.
