Chapter 40 The hidden treasure(1/2)

In the evening, I drank with Ashinadaozhen and Cui Qi again, and called Xue Rengui halfway through.

With Su Dawei as a companion, although the two sides met for the first time, they soon became warm.

Xue Rengui heard that Ashina Daozhen and Cui Qi were both under Su Dawei's previous command and made great contributions in the battle against the Western Turks. He also looked at each other with a different eye and wanted to make friends.

Just as Su Dawei guessed, the Tang army will soon make some moves in Liaodong.

This time Xue Rengui will inevitably be reused.

He also urgently needs a group of middle and lower-level soldiers with outstanding abilities to be able to use for his own use.

If you go deep into the enemy territory, if you don’t have your own core team, you won’t have to fight this battle.

If you talk about ability, Xue Rengui is definitely the role of a famous general.

But there are connections in the military.

He is far inferior to Su Dawei now.

After leaving the farewell with Ashinadaozhen and the others, Su Dawei hooked Xue Rengui and took him back to his house.

"Ami, why are you bringing me here so late? I will go to the palace to be on duty before dawn."

"It's okay to sleep with me, I have a place for my home."

"you……"

"I have something to discuss with you, by the way, An Wensheng is here too."

Su Dawei pulled him and dragged him into his study.

I saw a fat man with fair face in the room, sitting at the table, as if he was smiling at Maitreya, and was looking down at an ancient book by the light of the whale oil lamp.

"Wensheng."

Su Dawei shouted.

An Wensheng heard it as early as Su Dawei and Xue Rengui and others entered the yard. Then he put down the book in his hand and said with some unsatisfactory words: "Ami, I didn't expect that you have a lot of books here."

"Some were given by the county magistrate, some were given by Master Xuanzang, and some were collected by me."

As he said that, he pointed at Xue Rengui beside him: "Rengui is here too."

Before Su Dawei followed the army to fight against the Western Turks, he had already pulled Xue Rengui into his circle and drank several times with An Wensheng, but Xue Rengui was not good at talking and talked less.

During the two years when Su Dawei was not here, Xue Rengui had not contacted others much.

An Wensheng and Su Qingjie, Cheng Chusi also went to the army, so there is no need to mention it.

For example, although Yuchi Baolin, although she was in charge of Jinwu, has met Xue Rengui for no more than three times in the past two years, but she was still accidentally encountered during patrol.

It can be seen that Xue Rengui is weak in making friends and dealing with things.

With Su Dawei greeting him, he just nodded to An Wensheng.

On the contrary, he was called "An Dasha". Among the second-generation nobles in Chang'an, An Wensheng, who was known for his strangeness and alternativeness, even smiled at him.

"Rengui, sit down, pour herbal tea on the table yourself."

As he greeted Xue Rengui, he sat down by himself, Su Dawei said to An Wensheng: "I haven't seen you recently. If I hadn't heard the lion say that you are still in Chang'an, I almost thought you had gone to Tubo."

"It's almost done."

An Wensheng sighed: "Master, he, when he heard about the incident in Bayankala Mountain, had been unable to hold back. He took me to Tubo a few days ago. Unfortunately, he left Chang'an City. He was greedy for a cup by the Wei River. He drank a few more cups, and then asked the fisherman for a fresh carp and ate raw stew, but he got a stomachache..."

After hearing what An Wensheng said, Su Dawei, who was picking up the teacup and delivering herbal tea into his mouth, squirted it out in a sip.

Is there anything wrong?

Raw stew is sashimi?

That is, the sashimi in Japanese materials in later generations.

But the problem is...

The fresh carp caught in the Wei River is a river fish.

God knows how many parasites are inside.

Yuan Shoucheng should not let himself die because of a fish. That would be funny.

By the way, sashimi is not original in Japan.

It is the food from the Central Plains since ancient times, and it was said to be "popular" as early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

Sashimi is a sashimi.

Roast is roasted meat.

It was considered an extremely delicious dish by the ancients.

"How is your master now? Do you want me to go and have a look?"

"It's okay. He took some medicine himself and looked better, but I guess he'd have to keep it for three or five days. If you have time, I can take you to visit him."

Su Dawei nodded. Before he could speak, Xue Rengui, who was a little restrained, suddenly stood up and walked quickly to the wall of the study.

On the wall, a huge longbow hung.

It looks at least one third larger than an average bow.

The dark bow body reflected a cold light under the whale oil lamp.

"Ami, is this the bow you mentioned?"

"right."

Xue Rengui couldn't wait to take off the bow and take it in his hand.

It's quite heavy to start.

He was very happy in his heart and stroked his bow body with love.

“What material is this bow made of?”

"I don't know either. I have asked the craftsmen who make bows. They all say that the bow arm is neither metal nor wood, and I don't know what kind of material it is, and the string is not ordinary beef tendon, which is very strange.

When I found this bow from Bayankara Cave, I don’t know how many years it has been.

I have not taken care of it since I brought it back from the snowy area, and I have never taken care of it all the way, but the strength of this bow is not damaged at all, and it is also a treasure."

When things like bows and arrows rain, they have to take off the strings and pop them into straight strips. They must be wrapped in a cloth bag to prevent moisture.

If the bow string and wooden bow arm are covered with rain, the elasticity will be greatly reduced.

If you spray twice, the bow will be useless.

Su Dawei himself is more accustomed to using horn crossbows.

The bow was thrown on the accompanying carriage, and he forgot after that. When he returned to Chang'an, he realized that he had been soaking in soaking in so many rain.

But later I tried it and found that the performance was not damaged at all, so I realized that this thing was extraordinary.

"Last time I came back from Bayankara Mountain, I got three spoils in total, one was this giant bow, the other was that kind of flying wing suit, and the other was a stone plate."

Su Dawei pointed to the wall.

The remaining two things are stacked and placed in a wooden box, and the stone plate is placed on the table.

This thing was passed down very well in later generations, but after Su Dawei asked An Wensheng to come over this thing, he fumbled for a long time, but he didn't find any mysterious things.

It's a disc-shaped stone.

As a result, he did not pay much attention to it.

Xue Rengui tried to pull the bow, then stood in the study, his legs sank, his arms swayed, and his ears heard the sound of "collapse".

He pulled the giant bow into a roundness.

Su Dawei was surprised: "Rengui, I have a lot of strength. Wensheng didn't even pull the bow open."

"Ahem!"

An Wensheng coughed aside.

Xue Rengui slowly restored the bow with both hands, but his face remained unchanged.

He let out a long sigh, stroked his bow arm with a little love, and his face showed a look of yearning.

He is born with divine power and is an archer who is unparalleled.

In his eyes, such a treasure bow is more attractive to him than any gold and beauty.

"Ami, I have a reluctant request."

Su Dawei's face turned agitated: "Since it's a heartless request, don't mention it."

"Thank you, uh..."

Xue Rengui was stunned.

I guessed it at the beginning, but I didn't guess that Ami reacted like this.

Seeing his dull look, Su Dawei laughed and patted his shoulder: "I know you are a bow lover. It's a waste to put this treasure bow in my hand. You are about to go to war. I will give you this bow as a gift."
