Chapter Thirteen: Opening the Sky Bow
Xu Haifeng received the order and rushed to the university ground with Tong Yifeng and others.
The Grand Collegiate Field is located five miles away from the west of the city. It is the largest military camp on the Western Front. Generally speaking, it is only open to use when senior military officials come here to inspect the troops. Gu Daoyan specially chose to try the bow here, which is indeed beyond the expectations of most people.
After they hurried to the university, it was already half an hour later. From a distance, they saw that there were crowds of people in the university, and at least tens of thousands of officers and soldiers gathered here.
When he arrived at the entrance of the schoolyard, Xu Haifeng was about to enter, but found that Qin Yong, who had always been following closely, suddenly stopped. He looked in surprise and saw Qin Yong's eyes gathering on a pair of mature copper lions at the entrance of the schoolyard.
"What are you doing? Why don't you leave quickly?" Xu Haifeng urged. If other people who had drunk blood wine would never do this, because they only knew how to act on orders and would not have their own opinions at all. But Qin Yong and Zhe were different. They maintained a high degree of autonomy and enterprising spirit, but they also carried out Xu Haifeng's orders meticulously. Despite this, they rarely took the initiative to do anything, as this behavior was extremely rare at this moment.
"General, I have no weapons anymore. These two bronze lions seem to be very close." Qin Yong said honestly.
It turned out that during this period, Qin Yong drank blood wine every day and made another breakthrough, and his strength was so great that he had already discarded a pair of copper hammers. According to his words, how could he fight with a toothpick? But the pair of copper hammers weighed 300 kilograms in total. Xu Haifeng used his strength to feed himself, but he could only barely lift one of them. It would be impossible to swing them.
Seeing that these two mature copper lions were more than one meter high, Xu Haifeng estimated that each one was at least about a thousand pounds, but that was used to guard the camp, so how could he make a weapon for him?
"Let's talk about this later. Let's go to the schoolyard first and wait for the general." Xu Haifeng frowned and walked towards the rostrum first. Qin Yong looked at the bronze lion reluctantly, but followed. Tong Yifeng listened to the conversation between the two, stared at Qin Yong's back in a daze, then turned to look at the two mighty bronze lions at the door, shook their heads, but cursed in his heart, "The madman is really a group of madmen."
Seeing Xu Haifeng and others' figures, everyone on the school ground automatically made way out a passage towards the rostrum. For a moment, the whispers sounded like a beep. Although everyone's voice was not high, the voices of tens of thousands of people together should not be underestimated. Xu Haifeng had never experienced such a scene, and felt cold sweat flowing down from his vest like rain, and soon even his underwear was soaked. As for Qin Yong and the other ten personal guards, they followed without caring, without any discomfort.
When he arrived at the rostrum, Xu Haifeng unexpectedly saw dozens of people standing on the stage, and he only recognized one direction. However, when he saw their clothes and military ranks, he was shocked. The lowest official position among them was the side general, and there were several deputy generals. It seemed that at least half of the main officers of the Western Front Camp were here. So he ordered Qin Yong and ten personal guards to wait in the stage. He and Tong Yifeng hurried onto the stage and saluted the generals first.
After a bustling bustle, Tong Yifeng was mixed with the generals and felt uncomfortable. Xu Haifeng was so distressed that he didn't know anyone at all, so he had to secretly pull over Xiang Ming and ask privately: "Brother, why are you here too? Has the Grand Marshal not come yet?"
"Don't I want to watch the fun here? Your Qin Yong is so powerful that he can even break the Five Stone Bow. It's amazing. Why don't there be such talent among my subordinates?" Xiang Ming sighed deeply.
"Brother is joking." Xu Haifeng smiled proudly and asked, "Brother, what is the Sky Bow? How could it alarm so many people?"
"Is the scene grand? You boy hasn't seen it before?" This time it was Shin Ming's turn to say smugly. However, seeing Xu Haifeng's indifferent look, he thought that he could hold on for more than 20 days under the fierce attack of the Caesars, and what kind of scene he had never seen before, he suddenly became very excited. He didn't know that Xu Haifeng's plain appearance was just pretending.
"Okay, brother, tell me about the opening of the sky bow."
"Oh, okay, let me tell you. The Sky-Caiping Bow was made by Master Lu, a skilled craftsman a hundred years ago. It is said that even the sky can shoot down. Of course, the premise is that someone can draw the bow."
"Master Lu? But that Master Lu Fengxian." Xu Haifeng was shocked. Although he had long guessed that the origin of the Sky Bow was extraordinary, he still did not expect that it was the hand of Master Lu, who was known as the number one skilled craftsman in history.
"It was Master Lu. A hundred years ago, an evil dragon suddenly appeared in the south, causing a flood disaster that was rare in a century. At that time, the five great masters of the empire joined forces to kill this evil dragon and pluck the skin and cramps. Later, the dragon tendon fell into the hands of Master Lu. He used meteorites outside the sky to build a bow body, and the dragon tendons became strings. After ten years, he finally made this sky-opening bow. With 10% of this bow, Master Lu exhausted his energy and passed away after half a year. This bow became the last sound of Master Lu in the world."
Xu Haifeng recalled that the five great masters worked together to eliminate evil, and couldn't help but feel excited and could not do so.
"The handsome man is here..."
Xu Haifeng woke up from his dream and hurriedly bowed with everyone. Then he saw that there were several more people on the stage. In addition to Gu Daoyan and Cheng Ming, there were Er Dongjie and another general. Just looking at him and Gu, Er and his two men walked side by side with a grand demeanor, he knew that they were not ordinary people. Among the three generals, in addition to Er Dongjie, the only one who stayed in Xijing was Zhang Jinzhong, the commander of the Sky Eagle Legion. This person was originally the commander of the Central Camp of the Sky Eagle Legion. After Gu Daoyan was promoted to the Marshal, he was promoted to the General and took over all the affairs of the Sky Eagle Legion. He can be regarded as Gu Daoyan's confidant and beloved general.
"Today we will gather together, I won't say much about the reason. Cheng Ming, I'll send the order to open the sky bow here. The person who is not convinced, whether it is a general or an ordinary soldier, even if he can draw the bow half full, he will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver. If he can pull the bow, he can take it away." Gu Daoyan sat in the main seat in the respect of everyone and said to the people below: "Get the bow."
"Yes, the student obeys the order." Cheng Ming stood in front of the stage and repeated the words of Gu Daoyan. Then he moved away from his body. Behind him was a big black bow, and the simple shape was inconspicuous. If he hadn't heard Gu Dashen's words personally, Xu Haifeng wouldn't have known that this was the legendary first divine bow.
A commotion occurred off the audience, and a young general volunteered to stand up. Seeing that his military rank was actually a thousand-person leader.
This man was obviously very famous in the army, and he caused a burst of cheers as soon as he stood on the stage. After receiving the approval of Gu Daoyan, he stood in front of the bow, raised his hands flat, and picked up the Kaitian bow. His hands sank slightly, and it was obvious that the weight of the bow was beyond his expectations. But it was just a slight sink. He quickly adjusted his posture, with his feet in front and back horse stance, his left hand raised his bow body, and his right hand held the strings. This was the most standard archer posture. He did so naturally that he should be a good player who had been addicted to it for many years.
"Haha..." He heard him roaring, and with both hands, the sky bow was slowly pulled open by him.
"Okay..." The audience burst into cheering, and everyone was hoping that he could pull the bow and fight for the camp.
"Ah!" When the Kaitian Bow pulled one-third, his face turned red, but he could no longer pull it away even if it was a little bit. After persisting for a while, he finally used up his strength and immediately gave up.
Sighs from the audience came one after another, and they were all regretting him.
"But there is someone else to try?" Cheng Ming continued to ask.
"I'll do it..."
After all, this bow has not seen the light of day for ten years, and all the best among the younger generations in the audience come up and try it out, but the best result is only nearly half full. After more than a dozen people, no one dares to come on stage easily.
"General Xu, where is your subordinate Qin Yong? Why don't you come to the stage to try it?" Gu Daoyan couldn't help but ask.
"Yes, let him try this." Xu Haifeng hurriedly stepped down and greeted Qin Yong.
When Qin Yong stood in front of the Kaitian Bow, everyone on the rostrum looked at him at the same time. This is the legendary warrior who can pull the Five Stone Bow. If he can't even pull it, then there will be no one to open this bow. At this moment, Qin Yong's name has already spread among the soldiers. The one who admires the most in the army is such a super warrior, and they all have strong hope for him.
Qin Yong didn't care about the gaze of tens of thousands of pairs of eyes. He picked up the Sky Bow as if nothing had happened, and did not show any posture. He just held the bow and the bowstring and pulled it away to both sides.
The soldiers in the audience were far away and could not see clearly, but the generals on the stage were so much that their eyes were almost glaring out.
Qin Yong was like doing a big chest expansion exercise, and his arms were divided to the limit. The Kaitian bow had already been pulled into a full moon and then turned into an ellipse. However, this bow was indeed extraordinary. It was only slightly changed to this point, and neither the bow body nor the bow string had broken.
"Qin Yong, let go." Xu Haifeng woke up first, afraid that he would break the bow on a whim. Then it would be difficult to explain to the general.
"Yes, general." Qin Yong responded, put his right hand on, and the sky bow made a strong "buzzing" sound, jumping on his left hand, but Qin Yong's left hand seemed to be casting cast iron, and it didn't move at all.
"good……"
This time, deafening cheers sounded from the stage and from the stage, and even the respected generals such as Gu Daoyan were quite amazed.
"What a tyrant, Qin Yong, I keep my word. From today on, this bow will be the thing in your bag." Gu Daoyan's words aroused another wave of cheers.
