Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 695 Supreme Treasure

   Li Yi is a very gentle man.

   It is not at all like the descendants of later generations, who yelled and yelled at every turn.

  He is with Zhang Yuanxi.

  Standing on a high place, and... tirelessly, he began to hold up the binoculars to watch. Nearby... there are many cows scattered around, but most of them are 800 steps away.

   These are the cattle that Zhang Yuanxi’s mentor Zhu Houzhao raised nearby and let them graze on their own.

  Cows are very healthy. To them, life is like a trickle of water, calm and happy.

  The grass here has a strange taste, a little old, and the dew on the grass is not sweet enough. If the grass roots here are crisper and more nutritious, and less polluted by withered and yellow leaves, the taste may be better.

  Occasionally... this ox walking leisurely will suddenly have an arrow whizzing by.

Then... Li Yi began to hold the ball of thread out of breath, all the way to the thread, and ran fast. After he was exhausted and panting, he went to the side of the cow, found the arrow, made sure that the arrow did not hit, and then did it again. Mark, and then took back the Spike Arrow, and then, went back the same way, and took back the thread that had been laid.

  This is a huge project, as a deputy, there are too many things to take care of.

  But Li Yi is not afraid of hardship.

  His face was tanned, and his eyes were narrowed into a slit, shining brightly.

  Withdraw the arrow and start measuring.

   I roughly calculated it, and the real number is five hundred and seventy-nine steps.

  Li Yi couldn't help but feel ashamed, and said: "The report just now was 540 steps, and the distance measured by eye this time is a bit far off."

   Afterwards, he handed over the sketch of the arrow landing to Zhang Yuanxi.

  Zhang Yuanxi and Li Yi had a tacit understanding for a long time. He only held his chin, recalling the arrow just now, and then nodded: "Continue."

Zhang Yuanxi took a deep breath, and he picked up the bow. This bow is a recurve bow, which is not uncommon. The available material is excellent, which ensures the toughness of the bow. , which guarantees the accuracy.

  Of course, special arrows are also an important reason to ensure accuracy.

  Each arrow is specially made, and it is required to be perfect. For this reason, there are three craftsmen who are responsible for the production of arrows.

  Zhang Yuanxi exhaled: "Come."

   Li Yi's expression became serious.

  Zhang Yuanxi stood there, ready to bend his bow.

  Li Yi was beside him, holding up the binoculars.

   This telescope is specially made, with scales inside.

  Of course, it is not possible to rely on the scale, but to rely on experience.

  He subconsciously took out a piece of silk, and then said: "The wind direction is north, it's a breeze."

  Zhang Yuanxi didn't make a sound. At this moment, his mind was blank.

  He has gone through this kind of shooting training countless times, and at this moment, his heart is still.

   Li Yi began to find the target, which was a cow, still very healthy and comfortable, drinking water near a puddle.

   Li Yi stared at the telescope, there was only a gap in his eyes, and in this gap, there seemed to be light.

   "Thirty-one degrees south!"

   The sense of direction must be excellent.

   Moreover, both parties must have a tacit understanding.

  Following Fang Jifan's method, they directly divided the direction into 360 degrees.

  Use this tiny unit to identify the exact location.

   After Li Yi finished speaking, he began to take out a special compass. The pointer of the compass, the direction of the cow, was indeed thirty-one degrees south.

   Exhaled, my visual inspection was very accurate.

   And Zhang Yuanxi continued: "The target is a cow, more than half a foot high and one foot long. The terrain... look down, three feet, and the distance is six hundred and twenty steps!"

It is necessary to observe quickly. In order to be accurate, Li Yi has aimed at the telescope countless times to observe, and after each shot, he has to sum up the gains and losses, hold the line, measure the real distance, and then compare it with his own visual observation. Errors are compared, and then corrected again and again.

  The human potential is infinite.

  After you visually measure again and again, you will finally make a real measurement. If you find that your visual measurement is too long or too short, then next time, you can make a more subtle observation based on the previous mistake.

Of course...it takes hard work to do all of this. Now Li Yi, no matter where his eyes are fixed, he can't help it in his heart, and the distance and direction will appear visually. Then, he takes out the compass and thread to measure and verify himself Is the visual inspection correct.

  This is not the key, the key is time, the target is a living thing, it is moving, maybe, there is only one chance, and it is only a short stay. Therefore, he must quickly check the result with his eyes, and then report the most accurate number.

  As for Zhang Yuanxi, who has cooperated with him countless times and tried shooting countless times, in his mind, he immediately shoots an arrow with regard to the direction, wind direction, wind strength, ground level of the target, and the distance from himself.

  He fully drew the bow without hesitation.

  All the data have formed an impression in his mind.

   Trials again and again, coupled with his terrifying talent, made him shoot arrows only in an instant.

  The arrow flew towards the target like a shooting star.

   Moo Moo!

  The cow with more than 600 paces wailed.

  It couldn't understand why it was shot by an arrow in its **** while drinking water well, so the cow howled and started to run wildly.

  Happiness flashed across Li Yi's eyes, he hit it!

  He immediately raised the binoculars and quickly searched for the direction where the cow was fleeing, and immediately said: "The cow is running westward at a speed of about two steps per second!"

speed…

This is even more difficult. You need to make an immediate prediction. When you bend your bow and set an arrow, shoot the arrow, the time when the arrow needs to fly and finally reach the target, and these times need to be offset to the west, because the cow can move. Yes, you have to predict the position of the cow before it changes direction, and finally, make sure that the cow just runs here when the arrow is shot.

   Zhang Yuanxi did not speak.

  He started to shoot continuously, and after he had probably figured it out, the second arrow was shot.

  Afterwards, he quickly began to shoot the third arrow. With each arrow, he would deviate a little bit to the west, in order to predict the distance and position of the cow running west.

   "The second arrow missed!" Li Yi looked at the telescope nervously, and began to report: "The cow continued to run westward, at the same speed."

   "The third arrow... hit, hit his lower abdomen, it was still running wildly, its position changed, it changed, it was twenty-three degrees east, and its speed dropped, one step per second."

  Zhang Yuanxi started to shoot continuously, the fourth arrow, the fifth arrow, the sixth arrow...

   "The fifth arrow hits the target's thigh, the bull falls, and the sixth arrow deviates!"

   "He fell!" Li Yi put down the binoculars excitedly.

   All this, just in a blink of an eye.

Nearly 700 steps away, beyond the line of sight to carry out a sniper attack, even if there is a slight delay between the two sides, or the cooperation is not tacit enough, or... Li Yi's visual inspection made a mistake, Zhang Yuanxi's arrow missed even a little bit, so As for... Even if the bow string is loosened even a little bit, and the arrow's rear feather falls off a feather, all previous efforts may be wasted.

   After Li Yi was nervous, he seemed to collapse, and almost immediately, he lay on the ground, panting heavily, and then...he laughed out loud.

Zhang Yuanxi took two steps lamely, put down his bow, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and sniping this cow was many times more difficult than sniping the fifth prince of Tatar. , just increased the distance by ten steps, and its difficulty has doubled.

   "Go and test it."

   "That's great." Although Li Yi was as tired as a dead dog, he excitedly tied the end of the thread in one direction first, fixed it, and then led the other end of the end of the thread, and ran towards the goal quickly.

  ...

  That day, Zhu Houzhao was eating beef stew with potatoes, and couldn't help but praise Wen Yansheng: "Others' beef stew is always not as authentic as Mr. Wen's. Mr. Wen, why do any ingredients always taste more delicious when they are in your hands?"

  Wen Yansheng looked at Zhu Houzhao and said with a pleasant smile: "Your Highness, there is nothing difficult in the world. The difficulty lies in whether you are willing to put in the effort."

  Fang Jifan was already full, and sat aside with his feet up, drinking plain water. As soon as his stomach was full, Fang Jifan didn't like to drink tea, he would rather drink water, which is more practical.

  Liu Jin smiled, and brought up a vase of flower carvings: "Your Highness, Your Highness, I found it."

Liu Jindao: "Look, the slaves remember that they were buried behind the Zhen Guo Mansion. Once they were dug, they came out. This is twenty-year-old wine. It was buried behind the Zhen Guo Mansion the year before last. Once it was warmed up, His Highness would eat it with beef. , definitely comfortable."

  Zhu Houzhao looked at it carefully, and said oh: "Then hurry up and heat it up, hurry up."

  Liu Jin nodded happily, holding the jar of wine, salivating. Later, I can secretly taste it, twenty years old wine.

  He turned his head, but at this moment, someone rushed in with a note in his hand. It was Wang Jinyuan.

   Liu Jin couldn't help bumping into Wang Jinyuan, and the jar of bar in his hand fell to the ground and shattered.

  Liu Jin exclaimed: "Our wine, twenty years old..."

  The jar was broken, and the wine flowed out, and the aroma of the wine was overflowing. Liu Jin was about to cry, the wine was ruined.

  He bared his teeth at Wang Jinyuan: "This is twenty years old wine, can you... afford it?"

  Wang Jinyuan seemed at a loss.

  He was a little afraid of Liu Jin.

   After all, he was born as a merchant, so he has an instinctive fear of officials and eunuchs.

  He said in anticipation of Ai Ai: "I...I am here to deliver a letter...I didn't see it."

  Liu Jin bared her teeth, and said coldly: "If you didn't see it, you have to pay for it. This is twenty years of wine!"

  Fang Jifan looked at the wine on the ground, the aroma was tangy, what a pity.

   But Wang Jinyuan looked at a loss.

  But Zhu Houzhao was as happy as watching a movie.

  Fang Jifan raised his eyebrows.

   I let go of my hand, but there was a bang, the cup in my hand fell to the ground, and the white water in the cup immediately spilled out.

   Liu Jin and Wang Jinyuan stared at Fang Jifan for a moment.

At this time, Fang Jifan burst into a fit of anger: "Liu Jin, you dog slave, just now you yelled, and I was so scared that I spilled this cup of 120-year-old white water, what do you think? You are losing money , or die!"
