The most arrogant in history

Chapter 21 This little mare is pretty good.

Dai Xi shuddered all over, but did not dodge. He lowered his head and said, "It's no use teaching me how to settle accounts. I don't have any accounts to settle at home. If I really need to settle accounts, I can ask Brother Dalang for help."

Ye Kun also realized that his actions were inappropriate and smiled awkwardly: "When I have money in the future, I will settle the accounts."

As they were talking, Qin Erwu came over and asked about today's arrangements.

Ye Kun took the opportunity to go out and said, "Erwu is here just in time. Take some villagers with you and help me go to Jianghetou Village to deliver 20 kilograms of tiger meat to Yourong's parents' home."

Qin Erwu was surprised: "Brother Dalang, you are so generous. You gave me 20 kilograms of tiger meat at once. This much tiger meat is enough to buy a concubine!"

"Don't mention concubines, okay?"

Ye Kun rolled his eyes: "Take a few villagers with you, bring bows and arrows, in case you encounter tigers on the road. Go quickly and come back quickly, we still have to hunt tigers at night. I can't leave, I still have to make a crossbow."

"It's broad daylight, it's okay!"

Qin Erwu nodded, took the tiger meat, and ran away with a limp.

Jiang Yourong was very happy and counted on her fingers: "Dalang, my mother's family eats three taels of meat a day. Can this twenty kilograms of tiger meat last for a month?"

Ye Kun smiled and said, "Don't count this. We'll catch more tigers in the future and send them to them. Tiger meat is not dragon meat."

Yan Liuhai also came and helped Ye Kun to continue making bows and crossbows.

At lunch time, the horses' hooves were clattering.

Qin Chou and others came back and brought back the county lieutenant Shangguan Jifu.

"Ye Kun, let me see your crossbow!"

Without waiting for the warhorse to stop, Shangguan Jifu jumped off the horse and lowered his head to go into Ye Kun's hut.

Dai Xi stood up hurriedly, bowed and saluted: "Sir, Dalangge is in the workshop at the back..."

"I'm going to find Brother Dalang!"

Shangguan Jifu lowered his head again and rushed out the back door.

Ye Kun had heard it and came out to greet him.

Shangguan Jifu laughed: "Ye Kun, you are so capable, you actually beat three tigers!"

"Five tigers."

Ye Kun corrected himself: "I shot and killed two more last night. I am waiting for Qin Chou to come back and send them to you."

"Two more?" Shangguan Jifu opened his mouth wide.

Even the court’s professional tiger-hunting teams were not as efficient.

As soon as the large group entered the mountain, the movement was too big and the tiger ran away.

You chase a tiger, but you can't outrun this beast!

Yan Liuhai said with a proud look on his face, "How could this be false? The two tigers last night, the tiger heads, tiger tails, and tiger skins, are all in the village chief's house!"

As he was talking, Qin Chou also ran over, carrying a heavy bag on his shoulders, and shouted, "Ye Kun, I heard that you killed two tigers last night?"

Ye Kun shrugged: "What's so strange about that? Dealing with this kind of beast is just like shooting a target, isn't it?"

Shangguan Jifu pulled Ye Kun into the carpenter's workshop to see his crossbows.

The three bows and crossbows that have been put into use are all here.

After using the crossbow, Ye Kun has to check and calibrate it to ensure its accuracy next time it is used.

A pair of crossbows were brought to the front of the house.

One hundred and fifty steps away, a target was made of a broken bed board. A circle the size of a sieve was drawn on it, with a black dot in the middle as the bull's eye.

Shangguan Jifu lay on the ground, aimed at the center of the target according to Ye Kun's instructions, and shot the arrow himself.

boom!

Two arrows were shot out, and the bed board one hundred and fifty steps away fell to the ground with a loud bang.

When he went forward to check, he found that both arrows had pierced the bed.

Moreover, both arrows were near the center of the bull's eye, only three inches apart!

Shangguan Jifu was stunned for a while, then suddenly turned around and asked, "Brother Dalang, were you a soldier before?"

Ye Kun shook his head.

Qin Chou smiled and said, "Brother Dalang is just a carpenter. He has never been to the county town before."

Ye Kun glared at Qin Chou.

So much bullshit!

Speaking of a military career, Ye Kun also had one.

In my previous life, I participated in formal reserve training for three consecutive years, one month each year, and learned both civil and military strategies.

Because Ye Kun is studious, he is also a model soldier in reserve training.

"How could you want to do this if you have no military experience?" Shangguan Jifu was puzzled.

"I just messed around with it."

Ye Kun smiled and changed the subject: "Brother Qin Chou, did you bring back the reward silver?"

"Of course I brought it back."

Qin Chou took off his saddlebag and poured out six strings of copper coins: "Three tigers, a total of thirty strings of money. You get 20%, which is six strings."

Ye Kun handed it to Jiang Yourong without even looking at it.

Shangguan Jifu was still studying Ye Kun's double bow and double arrow crossbow. He turned his head and said, "Brother Dalang, you should follow me from now on. The military workshop needs talents like you."

"Thank you, Lord County Lieutenant, but I'm sorry I can't obey your order."

Ye Kun rubbed his nose: "I have an eighty-year-old mother at home..."

"Is your mother eighty years old?"

"Soon, in another thirty years, I'll be eighty years old." Ye Kun sighed, "Besides, my mother is blind and can't live without me."

Shangguan Jifu smiled bitterly: "Okay then."

The Dading Kingdom was also a country of etiquette, where filial piety was the most important virtue.

He wants to honor his mother, you can't take him away from her.

Seeing that Shangguan Jifu was a little disappointed, Ye Kun pointed at his warhorse and said, "However, I can give you some gifts to make your warhorse more useful."

Shangguan Jifu smiled and said, "What's so good about a war horse? It just needs to run fast."

"No, it has to be fast and steady."

Ye Kun walked to the front of the warhorse and inspected it: "There is only a saddle on it, but no stirrups. It is easy to fall off during a battle."

The development of the Dading Kingdom is really backward.

War horses only have saddles, no stirrups.

No horseshoes either!

If you go to war or ride a horse like this and don't fall off and die, it means that your ancestors' graves are smoking, and the smoke is billowing!

Shangguan Jifu frowned: "What is a stirrup?"

"When I make it, you'll know what it is." Ye Kun nodded and patted the horse's butt:

"But you must leave me a horse. I want to determine the size."

Shangguan Jifu thought for a moment and asked, "Is what you made as useful as the crossbow you made?"

"It is more convenient than a bow and crossbow. Everyone can use it."

"Okay, I'll leave you a tall horse."

Shangguan Jifu nodded, called his subordinates, and brought a horse.

Ye Kun took a look and chose a pony: "This little mare is good, suitable for me to ride."

Having never ridden a horse before, Ye Kun didn’t dare to touch a wild horse.

The mare is small in size and gentle in character, making her suitable for training.

Shangguan Jifu smiled evilly when he heard this: "Okay, I'll leave the mare to you. Ride slowly and don't break the mare..."

Damn, this county lieutenant is not serious either, he is an old driver of Akina Mountain!

Ye Kun was speechless.

Shangguan Jifu was busy with official duties and had to supervise the fight against corruption in various places, so he took his leave immediately.

After getting on the horse, Shangguan Jifu suddenly turned around, pointed at Dai Xi, and said to Ye Kun: "Brother Dalang, your concubine is too thin. Let her eat more tiger meat. She will look better when she is fat. Haha!"

Ye Kun's face twitched.

Before he could explain, Shangguan Jifu had already left with his men.

Dai Xi blushed, bit her lips, and seemed to be smiling.

Qin Chou laughed and patted Ye Kun on the shoulder: "Brother Dalang, if you don't mind that Dai Xi is a widow, just take her in. It's okay to have another concubine, since you don't have to pay taxes anyway."
