Chapter 145: The Innate Weapon and the Outsider
Xue Zhong took Gu Changfeng and Shen Mingjue to choose weapons.
He said reluctantly: "You two should hurry up. Although you need to train for at least a year before you can go to the battlefield, the Scythians and the Hu people have joined forces this time. The general wants you to go as well. I will pay more attention to it. You just need to stay in the back. This is Uncle Zhao who practices iron tools. You just listen to him and choose one to practice with for self-defense. After this fight, I will find a master to teach you."
The current battle situation is unclear. The Scythians and the Hu people may lead their troops to attack at any day. They don’t have much time left.
Uncle Zhao picked a golden longbow for Shen Mingjue and a red tasseled spear for Gu Changfeng.
Xue Zhong looked at the bow with some envy, "This was originally brought back from Lingnan by General Xiao Yong. I begged General Shen many times but he refused to give it to me, and now he just gave it to me like this."
"Anything to say?" Gu Changfeng didn't understand. This was a AD position chosen for Shen Mingjue.
"This thing is very heavy. If I hadn't trained you in physical fitness and arm strength, I think you wouldn't be able to lift it. There are more than a dozen grooves on it, and it can shoot arrows continuously. It is more sophisticated than the one made by the Scythians for the Hu people..."
While Xue Zhong was boasting, Gu Changfeng was already praising him: "Ming Jue, it sounds very suitable for you. I will charge in the front. If someone hurts me when I am not prepared, you can use it to save me."
"Of course, how could I not save you." Shen Mingjue smiled faintly, "What about arrows? How about ordinary ones?"
"Use ordinary ones first. When you have made great military achievements and become famous, you can make your own arrows." Uncle Zhao walked out and looked at the two of them. "I have trained many people on weapons and I am very good at judging people. The prince is strong and has great horsemanship, but he is not agile enough and is prone to miss at close range. He is most suitable for fighting on horseback. If you use this red tassel spear well, you can perfectly avoid its shortcomings and win with your advantage."
"The Major General got lazy in the past few years. Although he can keep up with daily training now, his endurance is insufficient and he will easily get into trouble after a long time. When using a bow and arrow, there is no such thing as extreme fatigue. I have also watched the Major General's archery and he is indeed better than ordinary people."
After hearing this, Gu Changfeng and Shen Mingjue cared more about the weapons in their hands.
Xue Zhong was still reluctant, "Anyway, this bow was given to my brother, not to an outsider, so it's a good destination for him."
After he finished speaking, he squeezed in between the two people and said, "Okay Uncle Zhao, we have to hurry back and try again. Time waits for no one."
Uncle Zhao: "Go ahead."
Xue Zhong was inexperienced and had lived with a group of men in the frontier for many years. He did not feel the ambiguous atmosphere between his brother and the prince at all. He just felt that their relationship had suddenly improved and he was neglected.
Although he didn't want to see these two people together in the past few days, the war was about to start, and war meant casualties. Xue Zhong no longer held it against him and stuck with his brother as much as possible, and even started to like Gu Changfeng a lot more.
Gu Changfeng secretly joked with Shen Mingjue from behind: "Do you think we look like a family of three?"
Shen Mingjue smiled and patted Gu Changfeng on the shoulder: "What nonsense are you talking about? This is my brother."
"Okay, okay, brother."
Xue Zhong came back to his senses and saw that the two people on his left and right were still as loving as usual, which made him feel as if he couldn't fit in even if he stood between them.
"What are you talking about?" Xue Zhong curled his lips.
