Xiao Po didn't pick it up, the store clerk said: "Young Master, if you help me, if you don't pick it up, I'm afraid the fourth prince will punish me." Xiao Po had no choice but to pick it up.

Leading the horse out of the mutton soup restaurant, the street wind blew, A Tielin sobered up a bit from the wine, climbed on the horse, and said: "A Po, this wine is delicious, it's sour but strong, it's much better now Let's go, let's buy guns and bows!"

After looking for someone to ask Lu Jin, the two turned horses and walked. After a while, they arrived at a weapons firm. There was a shop that was very eye-catching. There was a big bow hanging at the door, and the black tires were brightly stringed.Attracted by the big bow, Xiao Po dismounted and walked over, also stopped to watch.

A clerk quickly walked out of the firm and asked, "What do you want to buy, little brother!"

Xiao Po pointed at the big bow and said: "How do you sell this big bow?" The shop assistant looked at him and said: "Brother, this bow is not for sale, even if it is for you, you can't pull it away." After hearing this, A Tielin got off his horse and shouted: "Brother shop, you look down on people so much, if you have the guts, take it down and let me have a look, lest one hand break your iron bow!"

The store clerk looked disdainful, and had already taken down the big bow, saying: "If you are not afraid that the big words will loose your tongue, come and try." A Tielin handed Ma Zong to Xiao Po, took the big bow, stretched out his hand and pulled it, and then pulled it with great force. Wen Si moved slightly, but his face turned red, and he immediately stood up with his waist down, raised his strength and pulled again, this time slightly bent, but when it comes to being able to draw a bow and shoot arrows, he still can't do it.

A Tielin's blue veins burst out, his muscles twitched, he finally lost his breath, and said: "I can't pull it away, A Po, come and try." Then he turned to lead the horse, and handed the big bow to Xiao Po.

Just now Xiao Po saw that A Tielin was having trouble drawing a big bow, so he didn't dare to take a peek at it, he raised his hand and raised his yoga strength, which pierced through his arms, and he didn't draw the full bow once, but raised his strength again, and finally drew the full bow The bow, the bow is like a full moon, when Xiao Po let go, the bow strings sounded sharply, and the strings sounded lighter.

A Tielin was taken aback, the clerk's eyes widened even more, he stepped forward and grabbed Xiao Po, and happily said: "Brother, you wait here, I'll tell the shopkeeper."

The shop clerk rushed into the shop, and when he came out, someone had already followed him. The man gave an order, and the shop clerk turned to the street and ran to another place.The shopkeeper was over sixty years old, his eyes were shining, he was wearing a long gray silk gown, he came forward, saw the big bow in Xiao Po's hand, and asked: "Little brother, but did you draw this big bow?" Xiao Po saw that the visitor was smiling, and replied with a smile: "Exactly, I originally bought weapons and liked this big bow, but the man said that he wouldn't sell it, so he said I couldn't pull it away, so I opened it to have a look, and then I pulled it away." Yes, this bow is really good. The boss may sell me."

The shopkeeper looked surprised, and said: "Little brother is really powerful. This bow is made of noble materials. It takes three or four hundred stones to pull it apart. It can shoot arrows with 230 steps. It's just that there is another reason for this bow. I have told the staff Go and call the big boss, he will sell his bow when he comes. If you need anything else, I will take you in to have a look."

Xiao Po agreed, A Tielin turned around and tied the two horses outside the door, and walked in together.

The shopkeeper brought the two of them in, pointed to the various weapons hanging on the wall, and said, "What kind of weapon do you want to see, little brother?"

Xiao Po said: "I am used to using long spears, and I want to find a big one."

The shopkeeper said: "Then follow me!" He turned to the desk, bent down to open the bottom drawer, and took out a long gun.The gun is eight feet long, and its body is dark, with a red scarf hanging on the tip of the gun.Seeing that the shopkeeper took it easily, Xiao Po didn't take it seriously when he reached out to take it.

Unexpectedly, it felt very heavy in the hand, and hurriedly gathered strength in the hand, and then lifted it up, shaking and dancing twice, although it felt a little heavy, it was still easy to use.

A Tielin said: "Let me have a look!" Xiao Po handed it to him, and said: "It's a bit heavy, Uncle Tielin, please take it well."

A Tielin had the idea of ​​drawing the bow first, and at this time he held it with two hands, but he thought it was too heavy and he couldn't lift it in his hands, so he had to stand the end of the gun on the ground and hold it firmly with both hands.Ask the shopkeeper: "This gun is so heavy, I'm afraid it weighs no more than 100 catties!"

The shopkeeper said: "That's a full weight of 108 catties." A Tielin opened his mouth wide, unable to close the cage, doubting: "It's so heavy, but how to use it." 112 catties, like warming wine and killing Huaxiong, passing five levels and killing six generals. General Yan Zhen of our country sent a nine-foot-square sky to draw a magic sun, which weighed 128 catties. He was so powerful that he killed countless enemies. Only weapons can be called heroes."

A Tielin looked at Xiao Po, intending to ask, Xiao Po said: "I like this long gun, how much money do you want, the boss will let me know."

The shopkeeper said: "This long spear and that big bow are originally a set, although the decision can only be made when the big boss comes."

Xiao Po let out a long sigh, and just when he didn't know what to do, a voice came from outside: "Who pulled the twisting spring bow?"

The two turned around and saw Wanyan Bojun standing at the door, followed by two big men, exactly the two men they had seen that night.

Wanyan Bojun saw the two of them, and said with a smile: "I am a strong man from somewhere who drew his bow, but it turned out to be you."

The shopkeeper has already bowed down: "Fourth prince!" Wanyan Bojun raised his hand to let him stand up, and asked Xiao Po: "Xiao Po, but you pulled the twisting spring bow."

Xiao Po nodded in agreement, Wanyan Bojun said: "I used this twisting spring bow before, and later I got advice from a senior scholar, saying that if I want to achieve great things, I can't use it with weapons and martial arts alone. Although I am good at military tactics, resourcefulness, and academic writing, I can't help it." So I put aside my martial arts and focused on studying the art of war, intelligence, and academic writing. Two years ago, I was transferred here by my father, so I put the old weapons in this store for storage, and wanted to find another owner for it. No one has pulled the wrench for two years. Quan, I don't want to be pulled away by you today."

He looked at Xiao Po in a blink of an eye, and continued: "Brother Xiao, you and I are really destined. When I deposited the weapons, I once said that whoever can pull the twisting spring bow will be given to that person together with the night-shocking gun. Now these two things It's all yours." After he finished speaking, the shopkeeper had already put the black gun and the big bow in Xiao Po's hands.

A Tielin's face was full of joy, and he pulled Xiao Po, wanting to kneel down to thank him, but Xiao Po just let go of his hand and said, "Since it's yours, fourth prince, Xiao Po doesn't want it anymore. It's not mine to receive favors for no reason." A man." He said while taking out the silver that the clerk gave him and handing it over.

Wanyan Bojun laughed, and said: "Brother Xiao is really divided, as the so-called treasures are given to heroes, if you don't want them, I'm afraid that Jiangquan and Jingye will lie in this store again for some time. That's good, if you If you're afraid of owing me favors, just do what you want."

Xiao Po said: "What is it?"

Wanyan Bojun frowned and turned his eyes, thinking that Xiao Po's ambition is very high, he asked him to be the horse supervisor first, but he refused, if I talk to him now, he will definitely not agree, he will definitely be very capable in the future, and he will be able to use it There are many places, it is better to let go of this matter first.Thinking for sure, he opened his mouth and said: "There is nothing to do at the moment, I'm afraid there will be something that needs help in the future, if Brother Xiao really wants to remember his love, just do me a favor in the future."

Even though Xiao Po is young, he also knows how powerful it is, he just said: "I don't want it anymore, if you ask me to do some bad things, I'm afraid I can't do it, and I won't be able to repay your favor."

Wanyan Bojun smiled and said: "It is a moral thing. I hope Brother Xiao will accept the twisted spring to startle the night." A Tielin turned his eyes to Xiao Po to signal him not to refuse. Really reluctant, finally took it in.Said to Wanyan Bojun: "Xiao Po thanked the fourth prince, I only have this 200 taels of silver, I hope I can get it back."

Wanyan Bojun saw his expression, and finally ordered his followers to take it back.Then he asked the two of them, "where are you going, you two? Why don't you go to me for a few days."

Before A Tielin could speak, Xiao Po said: "Don't bother, we have been away from home for a long time, we should go back early."

Wanyan Bojun didn't speak anymore, raised his hand as a salute, and said: "Let's take my leave first. If you come to Potala City in the future, you will see me sitting on my knees. As for the matter of the horse supervisor, I hope you two will consider it. If you have a decision, come and find me in the sky.”

Seeing Wanyan Bojun leave, Xiao Po felt disappointed. Although he got a good bow and a famous gun, he lost a lot to Wanyan Bojun.

Xiao Po raised his gun and hung his bow, mounted his horse, A Tielin was still standing there, looking at the place where Wanyan Bojun left.Xiao Po said: "Uncle Tielin, let's go, the sun is about to set, go to the Yuelai Inn for one night, and go home tomorrow."

A Tielin got on his horse and the two left.The shopkeeper watched the two leave, and finally returned to the firm with a sigh.

Back at Yuelai Inn and asked for a room, Xiao Po did not forget to order the staff to feed Zidian rice noodles this time.Put it away and salute, the two of them ate something hastily, A Tielin went back to sleep early, and Xiao Po sat in the living room waiting for others.He hoped that Xie Yuncheng would come tonight, for Xie Yu'er, he wanted to take Xie Yuncheng away.

The guests in the hall came and went, Xiao Po took a seat in a corner and sat there, and during the waiting time, he could just sort out his thoughts. This trip out of the city reminded him a lot, and he had to plan his future path carefully.

Time flew by, and the drum sounded even more, Xiao Po heard the qin sound from last night again, and it sounded more refreshing at this time, Xiao Po sorted out the thoughts in his mind, listening to such a clear and melodious qin sound, he felt very slack.

The shop assistant over there is like yesterday, lying on the table and listening to the piano.

Xiao Po called him and said: "Brother, bring me a pot of wine and a plate of fried peanuts." The shop assistant heard the words and left, and brought out something in a while.Xiao Po poured wine from the altar and started to drink.

After drinking three bowls, someone rushed into the door, it was Xie Yuncheng, he looked around and saw that there was only one table in the hall with people eating wine, so he came over.Before Xie Yuncheng could move, Xiao Po had already poured him a bowl of wine, Xie Yuncheng drank it as soon as he served it, randomly grabbed some peanuts and ate it, poured it again after drinking, Xie Yuncheng drank for a while, finally folded his hands on the table, listening to the piano carefully.After a while, he opened his mouth and danced his hands, and began to sing, it was still the same song: "The grass and trees are green, friends from afar, mountain flowers bloom and smile, and the bright moon is in full bloom; In a moment, the friendship between you and me is eternal; the grass and trees are green, the guests from afar, the heart is like gold and jade, vibrating, the beautiful woman is smiling, the young man is happy, who is the friend, let me tell you, the west is majestic, great Kunlun!"
