Chapter 231 Doctor Bow
The Wusun envoy, Tuban, walked into the Wusun Palace arrogantly. He stood in front of the Dayuan King Wu Wie, just nodded slightly, then raised his head again, stared at Wu Wie directly, with a three-point smile on the corner of his mouth, slightly raised, full of arrogance.
He didn't even look at the seven warriors in military uniform beside Wu Wu.
Wu Wie's eyes twitched, and the smile that was not very natural on his face became even more stiff. He held the armrest of the throne tightly and wanted to stand up and scold the throne. Before his butt left the chair, he fell back and tried hard to squeeze out a smile.
Mei Cai stood aside, and saw Wu Wie's subtle expression changes, and sighed secretly. Dayuan was seriously lacking in confidence. Faced with the rudeness of Tuban, he actually had no courage to be angry.
Mei Cai Qing coughed, stood up, looking down at the sudden squad.
"Why did the Wusun envoy not worship the king when he saw him?"
The squad glanced at him sideways and smiled. "I came on behalf of Wusun Kunmi. Wusun is vast and wide, with tens of thousands of strings controlled by the strings. The Yuezhi is like a tiger chasing a rabbit. Has the deputy king ever seen a tiger bow to the rabbit?"
"Bold." Mei Cai lowered his face and shouted sternly: "Are you here to propose marriage and form an alliance, or come to challenge?"
The troupe waved his hands, and a servant stepped forward, holding a slender and flat box in both hands. The box was placing a bow. The bow was about seven feet long, and it was pitch black all over, and it was curved like the moon. Next to it were seven equally black strings.
"The Great Khan of the Huns born in heaven and earth gave me three bows of Kunmi, called the Three Bows of Heaven and Earth. This is the bow of the human beings. It has always been regarded as a treasure by my Kunmi, and it will never leave me for a moment. I heard that the King of Dayuan had a daughter and ordered me to come with a bow. If someone in Dayuan could open this bow, it would be a petition. If no one in Dayuan could open this bow, hehe..."
Tuban sneered. He looked around and said word by word: "That's a challenge."
Mei Cai's face changed drastically, and he looked back at Wu Wi. Wu Wi's expression was even worse than him. The arrogance and rudeness of the Wusun envoy exceeded his imagination, and he had no room for negotiation. As soon as he opened his mouth, he forced him to a dead end.
If the three bows of heaven, earth and man cannot even pull the human bow, what qualifications are there to challenge the Wusun people holding the three bows?
The civil and military officials of Dayuan in the hall were also angry by the arrogance of the Wusun people. They all looked angry and whispered. The sudden group turned a blind eye, tilted their heads, slowly turned their bodies, and looked at the ministers of Dayuan without any concealing the contempt in their eyes. Seeing that the people of Dayuan were just angry, but no one stood up, he became even more proud.
Mei Cai and Wu Wang exchanged a look and gave up the plan to reason with the Tuban. These barbarians are different from the Han people. Talking about reason with them is a waste of saliva and they must first use force to subdue them. If you can't pull this bow, you don't have to talk about anything.
Mei Cai winked, and a warrior standing behind Wu Wu left the line, walked straight to Tuban, took the box from the waiter and placed it on the ground, took out the bow. He held one end in his hand and the other end on the ground. He took out a string, hung one end on the bow, and used one arm to press the bow to complete the hanging action.
The black bow trembled a little, and it didn't move at all.
The warrior was stunned for a moment. He squatted down, pinned the bow with his legs, and exerted force again. The black bow finally bent, but it was not in place. The string was still one foot away and it was impossible to hang it up. The warrior gritted his teeth, his muscles bulged, his face turned red, and he growled, and he gave his all.
The black bow was bent a little longer, and the string end was still five inches away from the bow, so he refused to shrink it.
The warrior tried twice, but was still powerless, so he had to give up and retreated with shame.
Meicai's face became very ugly. He looked at Wu Wie, and Wu Wie's eyes were a little straight, and he repeatedly winked at him, signaling him to arrange the next one. Meicai did not dare to be negligent, and immediately signaled another warrior to come forward to try the bow.
Unfortunately, the seven warriors found by Meicai used their strength to hang the bow on the string, let alone draw the bow.
Seeing the seventh warrior blushing and retreating, Tuban laughed and reached out to signal the waiter to come forward to collect the bow. "It seems that this marriage cannot be formed. King Dayuan, let's talk about the challenge? This is just the weakest of the three treasure bows. You can't even hang a string. If you want to compete with me, Wusun, you will overestimate your ability. I'm planning for the king, it's better to recognize the situation, rely on Wusun, and accept the protection of my Wusun Kunmi. Of course, no one dares to hurt you..."
"Wait." Mei Cai interrupted the squad. "I want to try again."
"You?" Tuban looked at Meicai with disdain and picked up his arms. "Please."
Mei Cai turned around and asked Wu Wi for advice. Wu Wi was sweaty and was at a loss, only nodding. Mei Cai turned around and said to Tu Ban: "I want to leave with this bow for a while, okay?"
"Why?" Tuban rolled his eyes. "Did you want a few people to skeleton together?"
Mei Cai sneered: "You can send someone to follow you."
Tuoban spread his hands, and everything was possible. Mei Cai took the Wusun servant, holding the bow, left the palace, and came straight to Liang Xiao.
Liang Xiao was sitting quietly. Before Meicai entered the yard, he heard the rapid footsteps of Meicai and others. He frowned, stood up, walked to the corridor, and happened to face Meicai and the Wusun attendant.
"Deputy King, this is..."
Meicai didn't say anything, pulled Liang Xiao into the house and told him what had just happened. Liang Xiao looked at the bow and was a little surprised.
"So hard?"
"Yes, the seven warriors I arranged in advance didn't even have the strings on them, and my face was really lost. If the nobles couldn't help, it would be difficult for me to explain to my king."
When Liang Xiao saw this, he couldn't help laughing. Meicai was already a little confused and had no minimum concealment. It turned out that in addition to himself, he had arranged seven people, but these seven people were not hung up. Either these seven people were too useless, or this so-called human bow was really hard.
"I'll try it." Liang Xiao was not polite, and walked straight to the Wusun servant, took out the bow from the box, held the bow in his hand, and did not rush to rush the string, but shook it hard.
The black bow trembled slightly, with a very small amplitude. It was indeed a hard bow, and the bow power should be about two stones. However, this bow does not look thick, and I don’t know what material it was made of, but it actually has such strong bow power.
"This should be a doctor's bow."
"Doctor's Bow?" Guo Wenbin, who was in charge of the translation, was inexplicably and didn't know how to interpret it.
"That's right, I heard from the master that there were four categories of bows in ancient times, namely the Emperor's bow, the Prince's Duke, the Doctor's bow and the Scholar's bow. The Scholar's bow has the weakest strength. The Scholar's bow combines three to form a rule, which means that the three Scholar's bows are connected to the end and end, and can be combined into a circle. This kind of bow is suitable for ordinary archers, and the best ones are called archers..."
Meicai saw Liang Xiao talking, but didn't know what he was saying, and was embarrassed to urge him. He secretly looked at Liang Xiao's face, and saw that Liang Xiao was not nervous, probably there should be no problem, so he felt a little nervous.
Liang Xiao continued: "The doctor's bow is stronger than the Shi's bow. Five bows are needed to synthesize a circle, which is equivalent to what we often call a strong bow. Those who can use a doctor's bow are called archers or archers. The best ones are what we often call a magic archer and a strong archer. Judging from the strength of this bow, it should be a doctor's bow."
"Sir, can you hang the string?" Guo Wenbin saw Meicai's expression and asked hurriedly.
Liang Xiao was secretly grateful. If he had asked him to open such a bow a few days ago, he would have no idea whether he could hang a string or not. However, when Yi Yang was born last night, he had already experienced another level of realm. The hard bow he used in the past seemed too soft to him, and this kind of bow with two stones was just right. Not to mention hanging strings, there was no problem even if he led the bow and shot archery.
He didn't say anything, holding the tip of the bow with both hands, exerted a little force with his arms, and a "crank" sound, and the black bow was reflexed, even exceeding the required amplitude. Liang Xiao gently hooked his little finger and easily put the string. He held the best bow, plucked the bow string, and praised it.
"Good bow!"
Seeing Liang Xiao easily hung up the strings, Mei Cai was overjoyed and said repeatedly: "Can the envoy... be able to pull it away?"
"What can't you do?" Liang Xiao finished speaking, adjusted his breathing, pulled the bow tightly, and pulled it three times in a row. Every time he slaps the string, the sound of the string was like a golden sound, shocking. He heard it frowned, and Mei Cai even covered his heart.
The Wusun attendant, who had been very calm, also changed his face and looked at Liang Xiao in awe.
Wei Cai felt relieved and left the courtyard with the bow and Wusun attendants who had been put on the string, and returned to the hall. When he saw the bow that had been put on the string, the arrogance on Tuban's face disappeared, and his sharp eyes turned to the attendants. The attendant stepped forward, attached to Tuban's ear, and muttered a few soft words.
Tuban frowned, pondered for a moment, and walked to the proud Mei Cai. "I want to see this warrior, don't you know if I can?"
Mei Cai glanced at him: "What your servant saw with his own eyes? Do you still have any questions? Can you even believe your own people?"
"Of course I can trust my own servant. However, I suspect that this is not a Wusun, but a Han person." Tuban sneered: "I have heard a lot of news about this Han envoy along the way and I really want to see him. Since he is here, why don't the king invite him out to meet him?"
Wu Wu was a little hesitant and shook his head at Mei Cai. Mei Cai was also a little hesitant. Neither Wusun nor Dahan could afford it. Judging from Tu Ban's appearance, if what Liang Xiao said was true, Tu Ban would probably ask Dayuan to capture Liang Xiao and avenge the Hunxie King and his son.
If Liang Xiao died in Dayuan, how could Dayuan explain to the Han Dynasty? Even Liang Xiao himself could not surrender. At that time, a battle would be fought and blood would splash the palace. Wouldn't Dayuan have a bloody disaster and suffer in vain?
"No need for this." Mei Cai said: "Now the bow has been hung on the string and has been pulled open. Should we talk about the marriage?"
"Deputy King, you may not know the situation." Tuban lowered his face and shouted sternly: "The Han envoy not only killed my brother of the Yan clan, but also killed her father, the Huns Hunxie King. If Dayuan hides this person, he will be an enemy of the Huns and Wusun, so why should he talk about marriage? Wusun, the 130,000 elite cavalry of the Huns have gathered at the mountain pass, so you can wait for the war."-
