Chapter 235 The power of an “arrow”
On the school grounds, the drums have stopped and the troops are silent.
Therefore, the applause and cheers seemed extremely abrupt and harsh.
brush--
In an instant, the surrounding generals and officers at all levels belonging to the Shenji Battalion all turned their attention to the two Lihuatang officers who had serious expressions and praised loudly.
Even Mochou had a weird expression.
I wonder when Lihuatang's prickly head was trained to become such a shameless and flattering person.
Could it be that what goes up has an effect?
“Hit the bullseye, brilliant.”
This comment would be quite appropriate if applied to Tang Ping, who had previously been riding a horse and shooting.
but……
Zhao Duan...
An arrow didn't even hit the target, at most it barely missed the edge.
Mochou wanted to ask: "Are you blind?"
Where exactly did you hit the bullseye?
What's so exciting about it?
Even if you are direct descendants of Zhao Duan and want to support your boss and save your dignity... you won't do this.
However, Hou Renmeng and Qian Kerou looked as normal, as if they didn't care about these strange looks at all.
"Haha, not bad."
Zhao Duan was still holding an iron bow with his head lowered, and he looked outstanding in his indigo official robe.
At this moment, a smile appeared on his face, and he accepted the compliment calmly.
Then he turned his head with a smile, looked at Shi Meng and other officers of the Shenji Battalion, and asked again: "What about you? What do you think of my arrow?"
Hou Renmeng and Qian Kerou put down their hands and looked at the crowd quietly.
The air became quiet for a moment.
Confusion appeared on some of the generals' faces, not knowing how to respond. Some of the more perceptive people sensed that something was wrong in the atmosphere.
He looked at his commander in tacit understanding.
Shi Meng, who was as tall as a mountain, as dark as a warrior but as thoughtful as a warrior, had his eyelids twitching slightly. How could he not be able to observe words and emotions even if he could sit in this position?
At this moment, facing Zhao Duan's half-smiling eyes, his heart suddenly trembled for no reason.
After struggling in his heart for a moment, he finally managed to squeeze out a smile and laughed loudly: "Hahaha, Zhao Qian's arrows are like a god. Just like these two said, he hit the target right on the target. It's brilliant!"
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the remaining people changed.
Zhao Duan nodded with satisfaction, and moved his eyes to the second officer. The latter was silent for a moment, cupped his fists and said: "My Lord's arrow path is extraordinary, my subordinates can see clearly, it is indeed the target of the target!"
The third officer smiled brightly and said with admiration: "General Zhao is so brave, he is indeed a bullseye!"
Fourth place.
fifth place.
As Zhao Duan glanced over one by one, these senior generals, who were called "generals", either spoke against their will, looked calm, flattered, or sighed silently.
But they all chose to pretend to be blind and compliment them.
This world does not have the idiom "regarding a deer as a horse", but a similar scene has been staged.
And as one of the superiors and generals fell one after another, they expressed their surrender to Zhao Duan in this way.
The expressions on the faces of a group of young generals headed by "Little Master" Tang Ping changed from confused and stunned to angry and shameless.
Especially Tang Ping, Ying Ting's face turned white a little bit, and then turned livid.
That's caused by anger.
What's more, it's still unbelievable.
The son of the Duke, who has had a smooth journey since his birth, has never experienced the baptism of dirt in the court. The insidiousness, cunning and filth of the court have only existed in rumors for the past twenty years.
In other words, he thought that only civil servants were like that. Even if military generals were like this, they would never be at the feet of the capital.
However, at this moment, some of his past concepts collapsed.
He realized that these generals who had always been with him and greeted him with smiles had another face.
"Commander Shi...you guys...you..."
Tang Ping's lips turned white, his eyes widened, and he clenched his fists little by little.
He wanted to question loudly.
Where has the blood of you warriors gone?
When was the military attaché’s spine taken away?
He is just a favorite, why should he be so flattering?
Not even a bit of dough?
However, he did not speak.
But Zhao Duan was not ready to let him go.
"Tang Ping, tell me, how was my general's arrow? Did it hit or miss?"
Zhao Duan looked at him with a smile.
Tang Ping, who was wearing a white robe and a silver helmet, with a waist as long as a spear, looked at him coldly.
"Tang Ping..." Shi Meng's eyelids twitched wildly and he spoke softly.
But seeing this "little prince" who was extremely prestigious among the young generals in the middle and lower ranks, he just snorted, turned around, and strode away from the school grounds.
Shi Meng's expression changed, and he was about to speak, but Zhao Duan stopped him lightly and said calmly: "When I take office as a general, it is not good to delay the training of my subordinates, so why stop me?"
At this time, Tang Ping was seen leaving.
Among the group of young officers who had just gathered behind the young prince, several of them immediately followed him without hesitation.
Several more people looked hesitant and seemed to be hesitating a little.
Finally, I followed him and left the school grounds.
From beginning to end, Zhao Duan did not stop or get angry.
There was even a warm smile on his face, as if he didn't feel dissatisfied.
After the group of people left, Shi Meng tried to smooth things over and said with a forced smile: "Don't blame Zhao Qian. The young people below are ignorant. I will give you an explanation later."
During the conversation, he seemed to have overlooked the fact that Zhao Duan was also a young man.
"Haha, Commander Shi's words are serious, why should I care?"
Zhao Duan smiled, and before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he changed the topic and said calmly: "By the way, please give me the command, please write me the names of these people who left. Haha, don't be nervous. , I just appreciate the courage of these generals, I, Dayu, should have this kind of courage to govern the army. "
Shi Meng's expression froze.
The other officers beside him looked at each other, not knowing how to react.
But his heart sank, and he realized that Zhao Yanwang was afraid that he would have to put on small shoes for others.
Shi Meng wanted to say something, but then he thought about it. After all, it was just a temporary job.
And after all, Tang Ping is the son of the Duke of Zhenguo... At most he will suffer a little, but it won't be a big deal if he thinks about it.
So he could only echo a few words with a stiff smile.
After all this nonsense, the atmosphere in the venue was extremely weird.
Especially the thousands of soldiers on the field, because they were far away, they didn't hear clearly this "calling a deer a horse", but they were still restless at this time. A general who misses every target will inevitably be looked down upon.
Thinking back to Zhao Duan's experience of getting the upper hand with a face, the scene was in chaos for a while.
Those thousands of looks also turned to ridicule and contempt.
"Zhao Qianshi, Miss Mo, let's go to the barracks first. Haha, I'll have a banquet in the camp at noon..."
Shi Meng's skin and flesh trembled, and he resisted the urge to scold him on the spot, intending to take the people away.
"Haha, that's fine."
Zhao Duan followed the good deeds and remained calm.
When the generals of the Shenji Camp saw this, they had mixed emotions. They were both contemptuous and contemptuous, but they could not help but "admired" them.
——He was disgraced in front of thousands of soldiers, but he still looked calm and composed. His face was as thick as a city wall, and he could at least compete with the strong ones in the "Heavenly Realm".
They were warriors after all. Even if they were afraid of Zhao Duan's power and submitted against their will, the contempt in their hearts could not be erased.
"Let's go." Mochou felt uncomfortable all over.
She sighed, thinking that it would be better to give in and not perform any martial arts at all.
His Majesty's reputation will also be damaged if he is implicated.
However, just when everyone was about to leave, Zhao Duan suddenly fell two steps behind, seeming a little irritated by the noise.
The iron bow that was about to be put down was suddenly lifted up again by him.
However, the bow, which is more than half the height of a man, is held backwards with one hand!
Open your right hand, and at some point, clasp the bow string with your palm, and press the bow string toward the bow arm with one hand.
He actually "pulled the bow" backwards with one hand!
It is a heavy-duty armor-piercing iron tire bow in the military that is difficult for ordinary people to pull even if they pull with both hands and exert force on their waist and arms.
At this moment, it seemed as light as a feather in his hands.
"Crunch... crunch..."
A sharp and harsh sound sounded, and the iron tire bow blinked and twisted, as if it was struggling and neighing due to the terrifying force.
Zhao Duan raised the iron bow with one arm, and his whole body was surging with energy. On the tight bow string, pure white electric snakes suddenly sprang out from his fingertips, wrapping around the bow string, making a roar like a motor explosion.
The generals suddenly turned their heads.
Qianjun looked at him in surprise.
Zhao Duan looked calm and released one hand.
"Buzz!"
In an instant, a huge "blade of light", about ten feet long, like a waning moon, swirled with lightning and roared out with a terrifying momentum.
Along the way, the compacted ground of the school grounds was blasted with scorched black potholes.
"boom!!!!!"
The light blade passed by and dissipated at the end of the school grounds, cutting a knife mark on the wall.
The smoke and dust dispersed, and all the arrow targets in front of him were shattered into dust.
Shi Meng narrowed his eyes.
Mo Chou's eyes widened.
The generals were stunned on the spot.
Thousands of commotion soldiers were silent for a moment.
"Heh, let's go." Zhao Duan casually threw away the scrapped iron bow, smiled, greeted his two direct descendants and walked out.
Archery? He is indeed not very good at it.
But...who said you can only shoot with arrows?
…
In the distance, in front of a barracks.
Tang Ping was expressionless, and suddenly stopped with a group of low-level generals following behind him.
At the same time, he turned to look at the school grounds, which had been blocked by buildings, and saw smoke and dust rising vaguely.
"What happened? Such a movement?" someone wondered.
Tang Ping also frowned.
…
…
After leaving the school grounds, Zhao Duan ignored the subsequent impact.
The next inspection of the various barracks in the Shenji Camp went smoothly and there were no further setbacks.
But during the whole process, a group of officers always looked at him strangely.
The power of the "arrow" in the school field seemed to have the power of the Shenzhang realm in the eyes of these warriors.
Of course, it's just power.
The exact details cannot be determined based on this alone.
The true strength of a practitioner can only be determined through a real fight.
but……
The mellow and concise Qi that Zhao Duan revealed casually was indeed a bit thick and scary even in Shi Meng's eyes.
But... isn't it said that he is the most ordinary mortal?
However, how could such power be found in the mortal realm?
For a moment, the officers of the Shenji Battalion were in shock and confusion, and suddenly felt that this new boss was a little mysterious.
After inspecting the barracks, Mochou said he wanted to leave and return to the palace.
Zhao Duan saw her off and said he wanted to talk alone and had something to say.
…
"what you up to?"
Outside the gate of Shenji Camp, next to the carriage.
Mochou looked at him warily:
"Don't forget, His Majesty wants you to come here this time to find out the insider who took refuge in Prince Jing's Mansion. You..."
She always felt that Zhao Duan's previous behavior on the school grounds seemed to be intentional.
"Don't worry, I know when and what to do."
Zhao Duan looked calm, handed her a piece of paper, and said:
"You return to the palace, present this list to His Majesty for review, and ask Your Majesty to abide by the agreement."
What agreement do you have with His Majesty?
Mo Chou was startled and doubtful. He glanced around and found on the paper the names of those officers who did not give Zhao Duan face.
The first one is the "young master" Tang Ping.
