Chapter 109 Meeting the Cheng Family Again
On the last day of training, he was still shooting moving targets. Perhaps because of the last day, Wang Lian hired a few soldiers to help him carry the targets. Now there were five moving targets, and five rabbit targets, which required Li Ye to shoot in succession. Five targets.

Li Ye galloped on his horse at the 150-step line, drew the arrow, strung the string, drew the bow, and shot out the arrow, and the arrow hit the rabbit's head in one go, very smoothly.

While running fast, he shot four more arrows, the arrow hit the target, and the arrow hit the forehead.

The drum sounded again, and Li Ye ran in reverse, this time he switched hands, held the bow in his right hand, and shot five arrows in succession again.
Then, the soldiers changed to bird targets and mouse targets, which were of course made of wood, not living things.

In fact, as Pei Min said, polo and riding and archery are two sides of the same coin. Their foundations are exactly the same: horse control, sharp eyesight, steady hands, and precision.

If you play polo well, you must be a master in riding and shooting. If you are good in riding and shooting, you can also become a master in polo very quickly.

The polo masters in the various military teams did not train polo since they were young, and they all became monks halfway through, but they must all be masters of riding and shooting.

Switching between polo and riding and shooting, there is no technical problem at all, what is lacking is experience and proficiency.

So after the soldiers learned that Li Ye was a polo master, they were not surprised that he became a horseman and archer in five days.

In the afternoon, the five-day training was over, and Li Ye specially invited the soldiers to have a meal.

After drinking a few glasses of wine, Wang Lian said to Li Ye: "Young Master, we have already mentioned the advantages of riding and shooting, let's talk about the disadvantages of being humble."

Li Ye hurriedly said: "General Wang, please speak directly, I will listen all ears!"

Wang Lian was elated when he called General Wang, he smiled and said: "The lowly position is just a small team leader, and I can't afford to be a general. After five days of training, my son, I can only say that there is no problem for me to take the martial arts exam. I will definitely get a high score. But there is still a long way to go to become a master of riding and archery in actual combat."

Li Ye nodded, "I also know, I don't have any experience in the battlefield!"

Wang Lian scratched his head and said, "My lord doesn't fully understand the meaning of being humble, the battlefield is another matter, and we have never experienced that kind of bloody test of life and death.

The actual combat that I said is to shoot live animals, rather than running with a target on the school field. In fact, this kind of boring, the routes are fixed, and only by shooting live animals can you really practice archery. Birds in the sky, pikas on the ground, water All fish and snakes are fine, and the route is changeable. You must predict the route in advance, this is the master. "

Wang Lian smiled and said: "This is what General Wang Zhongsi said when he gave us a class, and the humble position is also copied."

Another soldier next to him said: "My lord, you can practice archery at night. Since ancient times, there has been a saying that the sun shoots money eyes and night shoots incense. There are also night training in the barracks, so practicing archery at night will exercise your eyesight."

"Lao Jiang is right!"

Another soldier also said: "I also suggest that you take time to practice the step bow. Horseback archery is a flat shot and shoots in a straight line, while the stepback is a projectile shot. The skills are different. Mastering the stepbow can improve the accuracy of horseback shooting. Slowly turning into shooting eyes, foreheads, and throats, the young master is not far from a real master."

Li Ye gained a lot from the words of the soldiers. He raised his glass and said with a smile, "Thank you for your kind words. I will remember them all. Come! Let me offer you a toast."

Early the next morning, Li Ye went out. This was his first long trip. Pei Sanniang and Aunt Mu kept sending him to the entrance of the alley, exhorting and worrying him.

Li Ye said with a smile: "Don't worry! With my uncle here, if nothing happens, it will only take ten days, maybe it won't take ten days, and I will be back."

"Spend money generously, don't be too stingy, and let others look down on you!" Pei Sanniang instructed again.

"Mom, I know, I guess I have money and no place to spend it!"

"Also, no gambling!"

"Will not!"

Li Ye waved to them and set off.

Watching her son go away, Pei Sanniang's eyes turned red and she almost burst into tears again. Aunt Mu persuaded her for a long time before they went home slowly.

Li Ye is looking forward to it, this is his first trip to Datang!
Li Ye was wearing a blue fine linen warrior uniform, a gauze hat on his head, a Sirius bow in a bag, hanging on the saddle bridge, a quiver, and a dagger at his waist.

There are two bulging luggage leather bags hanging on the back, and it looks like he is about to go on a long trip.

Not long after, Li Ye arrived at Danfengmen, he entered Yemen with the invitation letter, and came to Danfengmen square.

At this time, thousands of people had gathered in Danfengmen Square, all of them were high-ranking officials and their families and children, some of them even brought their maidservants.

Li Ye looked around, probably his grandfather Li Linfu was also there.

At this moment, someone suddenly patted his arm heavily from behind.

"Brother Li, we meet again!"

When Li Ye turned around, behind him was a young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, it was Cheng Changyin. Li Ye was surprised and delighted, "Brother Cheng, are you going to Spring Hunting too?"

"Our family goes there every year, but it's the first time for my brother!"

Li Ye nodded, "Exactly!"

"Go and chat with us!" Cheng Changyin warmly invited him.

Li Ye had already seen Li Linfu's carriage just now, but there were three legitimate sons, Li Xiu, Li Yu, and Li Min, and five or six direct grandchildren beside him. Li Ye knew Li Zhu and Li Ze among them, but he did not see his father Li Dai, Li Ye Not happy with the past.

Since Cheng Changyin invited him, he was not polite, he clasped his fists and said with a smile: "Then interrupt!"

"Thank you Brother Cheng for the timely notification last time!"

"It's okay, I heard that you have done them a terrible job, the Shenlong Gang was disbanded, and Yuwen Siwu's legs were broken, so happy!"

The Yuwen family strictly guards their tongues, and almost no outsiders know what happened?All he knew was the result, Yuwen Siwu's legs were broken.

Li Ye said indifferently: "They have committed a lot of evil, and they have to blame themselves!"

"Based on the evil he has done, it would be cheaper for him to break his legs!"

While speaking, Li Ye followed Cheng Changyin to the northwest corner. The Cheng family was here. Li Ye saw the head of the family, Cheng Ruobing, and a middle-aged man beside him, who should be Cheng Changyin's father, Cheng Ruoshui.

There are also a few fourteen or fifteen-year-old boys and a twelve or thirteen-year-old lady. These are Cheng Changyin's younger siblings. Although Cheng Changyin is the son of the second eldest Cheng Ruoshui, he is the eldest son of the Cheng family.

Cheng Ruobing's first two children are both daughters, and the third child, Cheng Changyin, is a son, but he is two years younger than Cheng Changyin.

There are also four carts, which contain two wives and some maids and maids, as well as various items.

"Uncle Cheng, long time no see!" Li Ye stepped forward to salute Cheng Ruobing.

Cheng Ruobing was a little surprised. He always thought that Li Ye was a commoner boy in Chang'an, but since Li Ye could also participate in the spring hunting, it was obvious that he had made a mistake.

"Nephew Li Xian, who is your father?"

"My father is Li Jingwen, a doctor in the household department."

"Li Jingwen?"

Cheng Ruobing read the name twice, and he suddenly realized that Li Jingwen was Li Dai.

"It turns out that Mr. Li is the grandson of Li Xiangguo. I'm sorry! I'm sorry!"

Afraid that he might misunderstand, Li Ye explained with a smile: "It's just a grandson, and when I met my uncle, I was still a common man and didn't return to the clan. My participation in the spring hunting this time has nothing to do with the family, not even my grandfather." Know."

It's a bit complicated, but Cheng Ruobing still understands a little bit. This child may be an illegitimate child who just recognized his ancestors.

However, this has nothing to do with him. The important thing is that Li Ye retrieved the belongings of their ancestors for them. This is a major event related to the rise and fall of their family.

Cheng Ruobing introduced his brother Cheng Ruoshui and a group of juniors to Li Ye. Cheng Ruoshui was also very grateful to Li Ye. He smiled and said, "If nephew Li Xian is alone, why not come with us."

"That's great, I'd love to!"

Li Ye was worried that he had no place to stay, and the Cheng family took the initiative to invite him, which fell right into his hands.

Cheng Changyin was really happy, "My dear brother, you will come with me on this spring hunt, and I will take you to hunt deer!"

This time, Li Ye suddenly saw his father, Li Dai, looking around for something?It should be looking for yourself.

Li Ye whispered to Cheng Changyin: "I'll go for a while, I'll be right back!"

He handed over the horse to Cheng Changyin's care, and walked over quickly.

Cheng Ruoshui asked his elder brother in a low voice: "Could it be that Li Linfu returned the things in the ancestral hall?"

Cheng Ruobing shook his head, "This child should not have lied. Li Linfu got something from the Cheng family, how could he ask a concubine to return it?"

Cheng Ruoshui suddenly said, "Brother can see clearly, but Li Linfu's grandson, isn't it a little bit?"

The Cheng family belongs to the Eastern Palace faction, and Li Linfu has been trying to bring down the prince Li Heng. The two sides are political enemies, so Cheng Ruoshui is a little worried.

Cheng Ruobing smiled lightly and said, "The current Li Linfu is no longer the former Li Linfu!"

Cheng Ruoshui nodded, "I understand what brother means, in fact, a grandson is fine!"
