Chapter 65 Finding faults

After three rounds of wine, the dishes have five flavors.

"Coach Fang, I heard that you are only eighteen years old this year?"

When they were enjoying the wine, Luo Kezhao suddenly looked at Fang Zhixing and asked a question in a neutral tone.

Fang Zhixing's mind was slightly startled, but he pulled himself together and replied, "In reply to the Second Young Master, I am eighteen years old."

Luo Kezhao nodded and said loudly: "Your archery skills are amazing, and everyone can see it. We are all very impressed.

However, knowing archery does not necessarily mean that you can teach others. This requires a lot of experience.

As for experience accumulation, you don’t have any at all.”

As soon as these words were spoken, the hall suddenly became quiet and the atmosphere changed suddenly.

Ding Zhigang, Lu Anfu and others put down their wine glasses, restrained their smiles, and sat up straight.

Luo Peiyun played with the wine glass and looked down at the delicacies in front of him.

Fang Zhixing was silent for a moment, then smiled and said, "Second Master, what you are saying is that being able to do something yourself and being able to teach others are two completely different things.

However, since you trust me so much, I will do my best to teach you everything I know and never let you down."

Luo Kezhao snorted and sneered, "Everyone can talk big, how do you plan to teach others? Show us a set of rules."

Fang Zhixing remained calm and asked, "How is the second young master's archery?"

"I?"

Luo Kezhao was stunned for a moment, then hesitated and said, "I mainly practice martial arts, and I don't practice archery much."

Fang Zhixing smiled and said, "If you don't mind, I would like to teach you some archery on the spot. How about that?"

"this……"

Luo Kezhao hesitated, glanced at Luo Peiyun next to him, stood up and said sternly: "Okay, I'll give you a chance. But if you can't teach me, you can stop being a coach."

Fang Zhixing smiled faintly.

Then, three servants brought props, including a bow, arrows, a target for archery practice, and a scarecrow.

Fang Zhixing had seen this thing on the parade grounds. The archers drew their bows and shot arrows at the scarecrow.

The hall is almost thirty meters long!

The scarecrow was placed at the door.

Luo Kezhao picked up an arrow, put it on the bow, and asked, "How do you want to teach me?"

Fang Zhixing responded: "Please shoot an arrow for me first, Mr. Second."

Luo Kezhao immediately raised his longbow, drew the bow to its full length, aimed, and fired! Whoosh! The arrow flew forward for a distance, passed by the scarecrow, and fell outside.

Too far off.

Luo Kezhao's shooting skills are terrible.

Fang Zhixing sneered in his heart.

Speaking of which, he has seen more than one person shoot arrows, and each has his own posture.

However, no one adopted the standard archery stance. Everyone just went by feel and did whatever was comfortable.

In other words, there are no popular science books like "The Book of Archery" in this world. People are ignorant and do not know the best standing posture.

Archery: You can shoot while standing or while riding a horse.

When shooting arrows while standing, the most important key point is your standing posture.

Unfortunately, people in this world don’t understand.

"That's great!"

Fang Zhixing was calm and commented openly: "Second Master has good arm strength and a very good physical condition. He only needs to improve two points to greatly improve his archery skills."

Luo Kezhao didn't believe it and asked in surprise, "Which two points?"

Fang Zhixing said seriously: "First, your standing posture. The standing posture for archery requires 'neither Ding nor Ba'."

Luo Kezhao frowned when he heard this, not understanding, and shouted: "Neither Ding nor Ba, what the hell is that?"

Fang Zhi walked forward and asked Luo Kezhao to stand upright with his feet shoulder-width apart, and at the same time aiming sideways at the center of the target so that the extended line of the two shoulders pointed directly at the center of the target.

This is not the end yet.

The front foot must be moved back half a foot length, and the extended line between the front toe and the hip should also point to the center of the target.

Once this standing posture is adjusted, it immediately gives people a brand new feeling.

Very cool!

Everyone looked at it carefully and immediately realized that there were many tricks in it that were worth careful appreciation.

Fang Zhixing laughed and said, "This is the neither Ding nor Ba standing position. It doesn't work in the Ding position, and it doesn't work in the Ba position!"

Luo Peiyun twirled his beard, nodded repeatedly, and smiled in appreciation.

Luo Kezhao felt something was not right, and found that Fang Zhixing was really capable, so he asked impatiently, "What about the second point?"

Fang Zhixing smiled, raised his hand and held the bow slightly, adjusted the crosshairs a little bit upwards, and said with a smile: "Please release the arrow, Second Young Master."

Luo Kezhao was skeptical and let go of his hand.

Whoosh! The arrow flew through the air, fell towards the scarecrow, and sank into his chest.

Hit!

"Hey, there really is something!"

Iron Claw Ye Hengchang couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

Everyone nodded.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

"good!"

Luo Peiyun was overjoyed and laughed, "Coach Fang is not only an expert in archery, but he also knows how to teach. I really didn't make a mistake in his choice of man!"

Fang Zhixing said: "It's all thanks to your cultivation!"

Ding Zhigang immediately flattered him, saying, "Your Excellency has a keen eye for talent!"

Lu Anfu was unwilling to be left behind and said with a smile: "Your Excellency has a keen eye. I feel inferior to you and admire you very much."

After hearing all the flattery, Luo Peiyun couldn't help but feel better, his face looked delighted and his brows were full of joy.

Luo Kezhao was a little confused. Looking at the scarecrow he shot, the expression on his face was very interesting.

After a while, he dropped his bow and arrow and said loudly: "This is nothing special. I have seen this kind of standing posture before, but I didn't know it was called Fei Ding Fei Ba."

He rolled his eyes and suddenly said to Luo Peiyun: "Dad, you set up the archery camp in order to form a combat-capable army. The target is dead, but the people are alive. Even if the archery skills are better, it does not necessarily mean that you can hit the person, which does not mean that the combat power will definitely be good. Therefore, I have a suggestion."

Luo Peiyun was silent for a moment, then asked with a smile, "What's your suggestion?"

Luo Kezhao said, "Coach Fang, please randomly select ten archers to train for ten days. I will recommend a master to randomly select ten archers to train. After ten days, we will have a competition on the training ground."

Luo Peiyun thought for a moment and asked, "Each side has ten archers. How do we determine the winner through a competition?"

Luo Kezhao smiled and said, "It's very simple. Just let them shoot the rabbits running around. Whoever shoots more rabbits in the same amount of time will win!"

After hearing this, Luo Peiyun turned to Fang Zhixing and asked with a smile: "Master Fang, do you dare to accept the challenge?"

Fang Zhixing said, "Of course, I am willing to accept any test from you, my Lord and the Second Young Master."

Luo Peiyun was very satisfied and nodded, "Okay, then the competition will start tomorrow. Ding Zhigang, Wen Yuwen, you two should supervise and ensure that this competition is fair and just."

"Yes, sir!" Ding Zhigang and Wen Yuwen said in unison.

Soon, the banquet was over.

Luo Peiyun and Luo Kezhao left first.

"Oh, I'm drunk." Ding Zhigang stood up, staggered, and quickly left the hall.

This guy must be able to drink a lot, and with the county magistrate present, he doesn't dare to get drunk.

Now he just started pretending to be drunk.

Damn, he really knows how to act...

Seeing this, Fang Zhixing knew what was going on, so he caught up with Lu Anfu and said with a smile, "Master Lu, I'll see you off."

"Thank you." Lu Anfu smiled slightly, not keeping anyone at a distance.

Fang Zhixing escorted Lu Anfu all the way to the gate, and then asked, "The Second Young Master doesn't seem to like me very much. Does Hall Master Lu know the reason?"

Lu Anfu lowered his voice and said carefully: "The master has three wives and concubines, and they each gave birth to a son.

The eldest and third sons had great talent for martial arts, so the master sent them to the county town to learn martial arts.

Only the second son had less talent, so he stayed in the mansion to study martial arts.

The second wife’s maiden family is the Dong family, one of the three richest families in the city. The Dong family has always wanted to place their members in the government as officials.

For example, Ding Zhigang is the chief constable, and he has four constables under him, two of whom are members of the Dong family, who were forced in through nepotism.

For example, most of the infantry leaders under Luo Kezhao were from the Dong family.

Therefore, the Dong family must definitely obtain your 300-archer camp."
