Tired from a night of sleep, Feng Yuheng almost fell off his horse upon hearing these words.
Ban Zou helped her up in time, and when he saw that he was in no condition, he simply helped her off the horse. As soon as the horse was freed, it immediately bent its front hooves and knelt on the ground, breathing heavily.
Feng Yuheng felt even more depressed. Even though the horse was so tired, she was still the lightest among all the people. Her horse was like this, how could other people's horses still run? She and Xuan Tianming looked at each other, and they both saw the helplessness in each other's eyes.
Xuan Tianming said: "Take a day to rest."
She nodded, "Then take a day off."
Bai Ze handed all the horses over to the owner of the stable and asked him to take them to feed them. Then he found an inn near the stable and stayed there.
A day and a night of travel was nothing for these well-trained secret guards, but unfortunately they were not well prepared for this trip. Xuan Tianming's good horses were divided into two batches, one in the main camp and one in the Prince Yu's mansion. If he had decided to go to Xiaozhou when he left the capital this time, he would have ridden a good horse, but he decided to go to the main camp, where there were horses, so he didn't need to use the horses in the mansion, which led to him riding these medium-quality horses.
It was too late to regret now, and it was too late to transfer horses from the capital. Xuan Tianming held Feng Yuheng and half leaned on the bed, persuading her: "At least get some sleep. It's better to get enough rest than anything else. You know, if we go forward, it's not just a matter of hurrying, we may also encounter ambushes at any time and anywhere."
As soon as he mentioned the ambush, Feng Yuheng immediately thought of the threat from the Qian Zhou Divine Shooter, so he quickly said: "There is no time to rest, gather everyone together, I will teach you how to avoid the tracking arrows."
Xuan Tianming's eyes lit up, and he could hardly believe her words, "Can you dodge the tracking arrows?"
Feng Yuheng nodded, "Yes! Not only that, but the principle is very simple, and the method is also very simple."
"Okay then." Xuan Tianming immediately stood up and went outside to tell the gatekeeper, "Everyone gather here, immediately."
Then he turned around and saw Feng Yuheng also got up. He couldn't help but ask worriedly: "How long will it take to learn this? I still hope you can get some sleep."
"Don't worry." She smiled. "I'll just explain the principle once. It's very simple and can be explained in a few words. None of us knows when the enemy will come, so it's better to say this method as early as possible, just in case."
Xuan Tianming didn't say anything else. Soon, all the secret guards, including Bai Ze and Huang Quan Wangchuan, gathered in this room. The upper room, which was not big to begin with, was packed with people. Some secret guards were even hanging on the beams.
People still didn't understand why they were all suddenly called up, but looking at the expressions of the masters, they knew that there must be something important that needed to be explained.
Xuan Tianming did not speak, but nodded to Feng Yuheng, indicating that she should speak first. Feng Yuheng was not polite, and spoke slowly, controlling her voice, trying to make everyone in the room hear, while ensuring that it could not be heard outside. She said, "Now the group of brothers who went to Xiaozhou are in danger, this is a well-known fact. His Highness the Ninth Prince and I have also done some analysis before, and we all know how powerful our own secret guards are. We think that the person who was chasing them is most likely Qian Zhou Shenshe."
As soon as the words "Thousand Weeks Divine Shooter" came out, everyone's heart sank. After Xuan Tianming's battle in the northwest, everyone knew what Thousand Weeks Divine Shooter meant. It was a tracking arrow technique that even Xuan Tianming could not escape. If the one attacking this time was the Divine Shooter, then how could the people in front have any chance of survival?
Everyone looked unhappy, especially Ban Zou, who had a lot of contact with Zirui. When he thought that the person chasing the child was actually Qian Zhou Shenshe, his heart was about to jump out of his throat. He couldn't help but blurt out "What should we do?" After thinking about it, he said, "If we call in the people from the Shenji Camp, is it possible to shoot them?"
This question is actually very unprofessional, but at times like this, people don’t know what to say except asking this question.
But Feng Yuheng shook his head and said, "There is no point in shooting each other. Both sides will suffer. What's more, it will be too late to go back to the camp to mobilize troops."
"What should we do?" someone asked, "We have no chance of winning?"
"Yes." Feng Yuheng's words shocked everyone, "I called you here to teach you how to dodge the tracking arrows and how to avoid being shot by them."
At this moment, people's reactions were the same as Xuan Tianming's just now. They couldn't believe that the tracking arrows could actually be dodged.
But the person who said this was Feng Yuheng, who was also an expert in tracking archery. When she said this, it was much more convincing. Hope rose in everyone's heart, and they looked at her with wide eyes and expectation.
Time was running out, Feng Yuheng didn't wait any longer, and quickly said: "In fact, the principle of breaking the tracking arrow method is very simple. If you want to avoid it, then the first thing to do is not to hide."
"Not hiding?" People were puzzled. "How can we avoid it if we don't hide?"
Feng Yuheng told them: "The so-called tracking arrow method, as the name suggests, is an arrow method that follows the footsteps of the target. For an archer to use this arrow method, the target object must be moving, and the subtlety of the arrow method is to continue moving with the moving object, and to be several times faster than the target, so that it can eventually be shot in the process of chasing. For stationary objects, archers only need to shoot horizontally. Let me put it more simply, that is, tracking arrows can only chase moving objects. If you move, it moves, and if you don’t move, it will be ineffective."
The secret guards needed a while to digest her words, but Xuan Tianming understood them immediately. He said, "You mean, the tracking arrow method can only be used on moving targets, and it is ineffective for stationary objects?" Seeing Feng Yuheng nod, he asked again, "What if it was moving before and suddenly stopped in the process of moving?"
Feng Yuheng smiled knowingly, "This is the essence of avoiding tracking arrows." Seeing that the secret guards understood it to some extent, she continued, "But this sudden stop must be calculated at a good distance. It won't work if it's too close, and you won't be able to hear the arrows if it's too far. So, take thirty steps as a node. As long as you can stop thirty steps away from the arrow, you don't need to do anything else, just stand there motionless, and I can guarantee that the arrow will naturally fall to the ground within ten steps. As for the enemy, if they choose to shoot horizontally, then with your body skills, I don't have to worry at all."
People suddenly realized that if they stopped, they would lose sight of the target. The reason was so simple. But if Feng Yuheng didn't tell them, no one would have thought of such a simple reason. Or even if someone thought of it, no one would dare to try it. Who could stop and avoid dodging when they knew there was an arrow coming from behind? The tracking arrow method was aimed at this mentality of people. Those who were shot were actually killed by their own running.
Bai Ze stamped his feet and said, "If I had known this trick earlier, the master wouldn't have had to suffer that punishment."
Xuan Tianming waved his hand, "It's okay, just think of it as meeting your princess." With a joke, the atmosphere finally eased a little, but the worry was still there. He looked at Feng Yuheng and asked her in a low voice: "Did you bring a bow?" Only the two of them could really understand this, because Xuan Tianming meant: Is there a bow in the space?
Feng Yuheng nodded, understanding what he meant, and then raised his voice and said, "Everyone go back and rest first, and think about the key points I said a few more times in your mind. When we set out again, find an open space and let's give it a try."
People nodded one after another, their expressions were somewhat excited. If this trick was really useful to avoid the tracking arrows, they would just need to be more careful in the future, and the Thousand Weeks Divine Shooting would be useless to them.
The secret guards returned to their respective rooms to rest again. Feng Yuheng simply dragged Xuan Tianming to the space to take a bath, and then came out to fall asleep. It was not until dark that there was a knock on the door outside, followed by Wang Chuan calling them: "Your Highness, Princess, you can get up now."
They traveled all night again. Fortunately, the people and horses had rested, so they walked much faster.
An hour later, the bright moon rose into the sky, and a group of people walked into the depths of a forest.
The momentum of the horses' trampling gradually slowed down, and after another two miles, Xuan Tianming raised his hand and his horse stopped first.
Feng Yuheng's horse also stopped, and then everyone behind him came forward, each with a bit of excitement on their faces. They knew that this was going to try to dodge the tracking arrow technique.
Looking around at the crowd, Feng Yuheng could not help but nod secretly. The soldiers trained by Xuan Tianming were indeed not timid. As for how to dodge the tracking arrows, she only explained the principles and key points. As for whether it was possible to dodge, no one had seen it with their own eyes. But none of these people retreated. Even Wang Chuan and Huang Quan were eager to try. Ban Zou even took the initiative to say, "Let me try the arrows!"
As soon as he took the lead, the others followed suit and urged for themselves: "Let me do it! Let me try!"
Ban Zou was a little annoyed and shouted, "I am the princess's personal guard, so it should be me who does it!"
Huang Quan was not convinced: "I am still a personal maid, am I not closer to you than you?"
For a while, everyone was arguing.
Xuan Tianming couldn't help but smile bitterly, "I haven't tried it yet, so I don't know if it works. This arrow testing job might be a life-threatening one, so why are you still competing to do it?"
But someone immediately answered: "If we don't try, we won't know if it will work! If it really means losing our lives, then I am willing to sacrifice my lives for other brothers."
The others also said the same thing, and for a moment, Feng Yuheng felt warm in his heart.
"Don't worry, no one will die." She said with emotion: "I never do anything I am not sure of, especially this kind of risking my life. The Ninth Prince and I have always adhered to the same concept, that is, subordinates are also people, slaves are also people, and human life is equal to heaven and earth. We cannot leave the chance of survival to ourselves just because of our noble status. So this test arrow..." She looked at Xuan Tianming, with a provocative and mischievous smile between her eyebrows, and said loudly: "You come!"
