The straight man who wears bright clothes is also afraid of messing with him

On the sixth day of March in the 13th year of Hongwu, Zhu Di, king of Yan, set off for Beiping, Fandi. He arrived on the tenth day of April and settled in King Yan's mansion.

As a personal guard, Cui Miao still stayed in the Yanwang Mansion, because when he returned to Fandi, he was no longer a bare-handed commander, and finally saw the fifty soldiers he was going to command, and he was also assigned to fifty acres of farmland, one cattle , some farm tools, and a few bags of grain seeds.The current rotation has also changed from the previous two-day round to the current seven-day round, to spare time to organize the fields, produce self-sufficient food and supply military supplies.

The General Banner is a military officer in the Ming Dynasty. He is of the seventh rank. He commands five small banners (from the seventh rank) and fifty sergeants. The five small banners assigned to Cui Miao are Lang Ping, Wang Cai, Chen Hu, and Ma Qiang. , Sun Hai.Among them, Lang Ping and Sun Hai were criminal officials who were exiled to Beiping to farm fields. After accumulating military exploits, they were promoted to Xiaoqi.The other three are veterans who have fought many battles.When the five of them saw Cui Miao for the first time, they were all astonished. They didn't expect Cui Miao to be such a frail scholar, and they murmured to themselves.Among the five, Lang Ping and Sun Hai were former civil servants. They had been in the officialdom for many years, and their personalities were somewhat tactful. They didn't feel that Cui Miao could become the general banner. After all, they were also pampered masters before.The other three were different, they were all veterans, they crawled out of the dead, their characters were upright, unless they were convinced, they would not really obey.

Cui Miao naturally understood what they were thinking, so she didn't talk nonsense, and directly competed in the school field.Lang Ping and Sun Hai did not participate, and Chen Hu was the first to play. Chen Hu was tall and burly, and the weapon in his hand was a three-meter-long wooden stick the thickness of a baby's fist. Relying on all his strength, the wooden stick danced like a tiger.

Chen Huwen said angrily: "Cui Zongqi, looking at your young lady's body, I don't need a weapon, and I will learn Cui Zongqi's brilliant moves with bare hands!"

Cui Miao didn't care, and threw the saber in his hand aside, and said boldly: "Since you don't use weapons, the general flag doesn't take advantage of you, so let's fight hand-to-hand!"

Chen Hu was startled, and then said loudly: "Okay! I like hand-to-hand combat!"

After Chen Hu's words fell, his dustpan-sized fist brought a gust of wind and hit Cui Miao.Cui Miao raised her hand to hold Chen Hu's wrist, and pulled it. Chen Hu fell forward involuntarily, using her legs to stabilize her figure, and pulled her hand back hard.Cui Miao followed his strength to bully him, put her palm on the back of his hand, and used her strength to roll over. The next moment, Cui Miao stood behind Chen Hu and kicked him on the ass. Steady, fell straight out.

The onlookers laughed out loud, and the way they looked at Cui Miao also changed.

Chen Hu got up, spat, and said unconvinced: "This time it doesn't count, you are cheating, let's start again."

Cui Miao straightened her face, and said sharply: "We are soldiers, fighting is fighting for life, no one will give you another chance! If you were on the battlefield, you would have died just now!"

Chen Hu was a rough man, he didn't know how to argue, his face turned red, and he glared at Cui Miao angrily.

Cui Miao changed her voice and said slowly, "But this is not a battlefield, so I can give you another chance."

Chen Hu was taken aback, and the person who was glaring just now immediately became excited, and said loudly: "Just now we fought, and found that Zongqi is very skilled, I think we can compare weapons."

Chen Hu turned around and picked up his stick, looked at Cui Miao, waiting for him to pick up his saber.I thought Chen Hu was a stunned young man with only a handful of strength, but he was quite flexible.

Cui Miao smiled, picked up her saber, threw the scabbard aside, and said, "Come on."

Chen Hu yelled, and swung the stick in a sweeping motion. Cui Miao bent over and leaned back, and swung the stick close to his cheek. Cui Miao's knife tip lightly touched the ground, and her body jumped up with force, quickly bullying in Chen Hu's direction. close.Seeing this, Chen Hu backed away quickly, swept the long stick in his hand again, lowered the stick, and came directly at the waist, Cui Miao couldn't repeat the same trick, stomped heavily with both feet, jumped up, stepped on the long stick with precision, and pressed tightly Then he borrowed his strength and turned over behind Chen Hu, with the saber in his hand resting lightly on Chen Hu's neck.

"Okay! President Cui stretched out his hand so handsomely!"

Everyone applauded and applauded, and the eyes they looked at Cui Miao changed again.

Cui Miao put away her saber, looked at Chen Hu who turned around, and said with a smile, "Do you want to come again?"

Chen Hu snorted his head, and said aggrievedly: "General Banner, you slide like a loach, I can't even touch it, how can you fight? Don't fight, it's too aggrieved!"

"This is called 'using your own strengths to attack the other's weaknesses'. Your weapon is too long. If you are bullied, it will be difficult to use it. And I am best at melee combat, so it is the best strategy for me to bully you quickly." Cui Miao said As he spoke, he had a flash of inspiration, took Chen Hu's long stick and looked at it carefully, and said: "It would be great if this weapon could be long or short."

Chen Hu asked suspiciously: "This stick is dead, how can it be long or short?"

Cui Miao said with a smile: "Sticks are dead, but people are alive. As long as you are willing to use your brain, it can grow or shorten. If you put a metal joint in the center of the stick, the two sticks together will become a long stick, which can be made into a long stick." Weapon. Separated is a short stick, and it can also be used for melee combat, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone?"

Chen Hu laughed when he heard it, and said with a naive smile: "Zongqi is still smart, why didn't I think of it? Hehe, okay, I think I can try it."

Ma Qiang interjected: "It's easy to say, silly, do you have any money? With your appetite, the military salary is not enough for you to eat. What kind of weapons do you need?"

Chen Hu glared at Ma Qiang, and said angrily: "I save food and money, and I can always save money! You old man, you are obviously afraid that my weapon will be successfully transformed, and you will not be my opponent, so you pour cold water on me like this!"

Ma Qiang rolled his eyes, took the bow and arrow from behind, and said angrily: "No matter how good your weapon is, it's just a close combat. Are you comparable to an archer like me?"

Chen Hu choked, and said unconvinced: "Anyway, you old bastard is just envious and jealous!"

Ma Qiang knew what kind of temperament Chen Hu was, and he didn't intend to talk to him. He looked at Cui Miao and said, "We have seen Zongqi's skills. I want to compete with Zongqi in archery. I don't know what Zongqi wants to do." ?”

Chen Hu curled his lips and said, "You old bastard, you are obviously a rough person. You insist on learning from a scholar. It's so fucking embarrassing. Zongqi, compared with him, he is an old soldier who can only do archery. Gotta do it."

Cui Miao handed the long stick to Chen Hu, and said with a wry smile: "To be honest, my archery skills are average, and I don't have a bow and arrow to use. If Xiaoqi doesn't mind, can I shoot an arrow with your bow and arrow first, and weigh it? "

Ma Qiang frowned slightly, and said: "If Zongqi has never learned archery, then it's nothing compared to him."

"I've learned it, but I'm not good at it. If Xiao Qi doesn't mind, I can teach you a thing or two."

Having said this, Ma Qiangruo seemed too stingy when he refused, so he handed the bow and arrow in his hand to Cui Miao, and said, "I don't dare to advise, but we can learn from each other."

It is true that Cui Miao has never practiced bow and arrow, but it is not that he is not good at it. In fact, what he is best at in the armed police force is not close combat, but shooting. He is good at □□, □□, □□, even □□□. Every time the troops compete, he has never lost in shooting.In the past two years, although he seldom practiced bow and arrow, his accuracy has never lost to anyone.However, the weight of each bow and arrow is different, and the force used to draw the bow is different. He has to adapt to ensure the accuracy of each arrow.

Cui Miao took the bow and arrow, and carefully grasped its feel and the strength needed to draw the bow and arrow. Cui Miao couldn't help being a little surprised. This should be the heaviest bow and arrow he has ever held. try best.This made Cui Miao have to re-examine the sloppy middle-aged man in front of him.

After about a cup of tea, Cui Miao put down the bow and arrow, looked at Ma Qiang, and said with a smile, "Ma Xiaoqi, which one of us will come first."

Ma Qiang replied: "The General Banner competed with Chen Hu just now, and it took some energy, which is unfair. Let's bid first."

Cui Miao returned the bow and arrow readily. The groping just now was indeed a waste of energy. He didn't want to be brave, "Then Ma Xiaoqi invites you first."

Lang Ping, who was watching from the sidelines, held a straw in his mouth, elbowed Sun Hai beside him, and said in a low voice, "Oh, old Sun, who do you think will win?"

Sun Hai pulled his long stubble and said, "Ma Qiang is a well-known archer in our Yanshan Guard. It is not so easy to win against him. But from Zongqi's expression, he seems to have a well-thought-out plan. Whoever loses wins." It’s really hard to say.”

Lang Ping spat out the straw in his mouth, and then said: "Old Sun, have you heard about the origin of our general flag?"

Sun Hai asked curiously: "The origin? What is the origin? Could it be that he is related to a certain high-ranking official?"

Hearing this, Lang Ping looked at Sun Hai with contempt, and said, "Old Sun, you used to be a magistrate, why have you become so secular now?"

Sun Hai rolled his eyes involuntarily, and said angrily: "Lang Xiaoqi, you and I have fallen into such a situation now, and you still talk about elegance to me? You don't look at your own virtue, and laugh at fifty steps. "

"Well, I'm not as knowledgeable as you. Do you still want to hear it?"

"Don't talk nonsense, just say it!"

"I heard that our headquarters has a legendary story,,,,,,"

As soon as Lang Ping finished speaking, he heard a burst of applause, and they couldn't help but looked curiously into the field, only to see a long arrow sticking into the red heart of the target.

"What's going on? What happened just now?"

The sergeant beside him explained excitedly: "Xiao Qi, just now the general flag shot Ma Xiaoqi's long arrow through it with an arrow. Ma Xiaoqi's arrow fell in two and fell to the ground, and the arrow on the target was the arrow shot by the general flag."

Lang Ping and Sun Hai looked at each other, and couldn't help clicking their tongues. They knew that Ma Qiang's bow and arrow could not even be drawn fully, let alone shoot through a long arrow.In this way, Sun Hai became more curious about Cui Miao, and hurriedly asked Lang Ping about Cui Miao's legendary deeds.
