The most arrogant in history

Shangguan Jifu waved his hand and said, "The saddle doesn't matter. I just want your bows and crossbows. I want as many as you have."

This morning, Shangguan Jifu looked at the double-shot light crossbows used by Qin Chou and others for self-defense, tested them out, and was extremely envious.

It just so happened that Qin Chou asked for troops to be sent to suppress the bandits, so Shangguan Jifu came.

"Only after I get rid of the bandits in Shuangya Mountain will I have time to make you a crossbow."

Ye Kun sighed: "Those bandits kill without blinking an eye. I don't know how long I can live."

Shangguan Jifu laughed loudly: "Within seven days, I will definitely wipe out the bandits in Shuangya Mountain!"

seven days?

Ye Kun was very surprised, but also doubted Shangguan Jifu's ability.

Last time we talked, Shangguan Jifu's men only had fifty soldiers, twenty war horses, and ordinary equipment.

There are more than a hundred bandits in Shuangya Mountain. Although their individual combat effectiveness is not strong, the terrain is good.

One man can guard the gate, but ten thousand men cannot open it.

With Shangguan Jifu's limited force, it would probably not be easy to break into Shuangya Mountain and kill all the bandits.

"Yes, within seven days, I will definitely wipe out the bandits in Shuangya Mountain."

Shangguan Jifu nodded, and went into the village with Ye Kun, and said, "I haven't eaten yet, I'm hungry, is there anything to eat?"

"There's tiger meat."

Ye Kun nodded, brought Shangguan Jifu into his home, and asked Jiang Yourong and Dai Xi to cook.

Shangguan Jifu also brought dried meat, dried fish, and rice.

And there were a few jars of wine.

It would take some time before dinner, so Ye Kun asked Shangguan Jifu to come and see the stirrups he had made.

The stirrups were equipped on the little mare, and Ye Kun would occasionally jump on it to learn archery and horse riding.

And I have been practicing very well these days.

Shangguan Jifu got on the horse, tried it out for a while, then turned around and said with a smile:

"With this thing, riding a horse seems to be more stable. However, it also increases the weight of the horse, which doesn't seem to be very effective."

Shallow and ignorant!

Ye Kun shook his head and said:

"The first function of the stirrup is to stabilize the horse, which greatly reduces the number of people falling off the horse. The second is to save energy, which makes it less likely to get tired after a long journey. The third is to increase the speed and accuracy of horse archery. If all cavalry in the army are equipped with saddles, the combat effectiveness will be greatly improved, and under the same conditions, the enemy can be defeated quickly."

"Is it that powerful?" Shangguan Jifu couldn't believe it.

"Sir, let's give it a try."

Ye Kun was very annoyed and asked Shangguan Jifu to change his original horse. He said, "If you are evacuating and there are enemy soldiers chasing you, can you ride your horse forward and turn around to shoot arrows backwards at the same time?"

"Yes, but my body is unstable and it's not easy to shoot accurately."

Shangguan Jifu jumped onto his warhorse, galloped away, then turned around and shot an arrow, aiming at the big tree behind him.

As expected, he missed the target and almost fell off his horse.

"With stirrups, that's all."

Ye Kun slowly got on his horse, spurred it to gallop, then turned around and shot an arrow, which actually hit the tree accurately.

Shangguan Jifu became interested and changed to a young mare, and tried it three times.

It feels good indeed.

Shangguan Jifu's subordinates also tried it out and shouted in unison: "Sir, this stirrup is really useful, it's like adding wings to a tiger."

"Hahaha!"

Shangguan Jifu laughed and patted Ye Kun on the shoulder: "Brother Dalang, how come you are so smart that you can tinker with these things?"

Ye Kun invited everyone to eat and said calmly: "There are still many good things that I haven't had time to make."

For example, horseshoes, Ye Kun doesn’t have time to make them now.

Soldiers all eat outside.

Ye Kun and Qin Chou accompanied the county lieutenant in the house to eat.

After drinking two bowls of wine, Qin Chou talked about how Ye Kun paid for the fight against the robbers out of his own pocket.

Shangguan Jifu was very moved and stood up and said:

"Brother Dalang is very filial to his mother, and he is generous and righteous. He fights tigers and robbers, protects the peace of the area, and serves the court. I admire you very much. I am willing to become a brother with you. I don't ask to be born on the same day of the same month of the same year, but I ask to die on the same day of the same month of the same year!"

Oh my god, sworn brothers?

Ye Kun thought about it and said with a smile: "It's okay to become sworn brothers, but I want to be the eldest brother."

The Dading Kingdom emphasizes the relationship between ruler and subject, father and son.

The sworn brother is the king, the father, and the master!

As for the younger brother, he is the private property of the older brother. His daily duties include but are not limited to being a bodyguard, doing odd jobs, emptying the toilet, etc. He must also be ready to die for his older brother at any time...

Ye Kun is not stupid. He will not be fooled and turn himself into Shangguan Jifu's personal property!

Shangguan Jifu was stunned: "But I'm older than you!"

Qin Chou was also shocked and thought Ye Kun was crazy.

The county lieutenant has sworn brotherhood with you. It's such a great honor, but you're still trying to be so arrogant and want to be the big brother?

"That won't work either. I'm a bad luck to Big Brother." Ye Kun shook his head and said nonsense:

"When I was a child, several of my sworn brothers were killed by me. But I am more lucky for my younger brothers, and all of my younger brothers live long and well."

Shangguan Jifu smiled bitterly: "I see, you don't want to be sworn brothers with me, forget it, just pretend I didn't say anything."

Ye Kun smiled and said, "How about this, we become sworn brothers, regardless of age. You call me brother, and I call you brother."

"Interesting, that's what you said!"

Shangguan Jifu laughed.

After dinner, Shangguan Jifu took Ye Kun to the backyard to become sworn brothers.

"This is a toilet, it stinks, let's go somewhere else."

Ye Kun brought Shangguan Jifu to the door.

The two men knelt down together and swore to the heavens that they would become brothers from then on, regardless of difference between them, big or small, and would share the joys and sorrows together.

After eight bows, Shangguan Jifu stood up and asked his men to bring two horses:

"Brother Dalang, I'll take your stirrups with me and bring them to the army for mass production. I'll leave you two horses as a gift."

The two war horses are not cheap, worth more than twenty taels of silver.

Ye Kun took out a double-bow double-arrow crossbow and a light double-shot short crossbow and handed them to Shangguan Jifu: "Brother Jifu, this is my return gift. When I have time in the future, I will make more for you."

Shangguan Jifu was overjoyed and patted Ye Kun on the shoulder: "Tonight, you stay with your wife and have a good sleep. I will go to the village to stand guard and help you fight tigers and robbers."

Damn, driving again!

Ye Kun nodded: "Thank you for your hard work. When you have time, teach me your gun technique of cutting off people's ears."

"It's a word."

Shangguan Jifu laughed heartily and, drunkenly, called his soldiers to go to the guardhouse in Caomiao Village to stand guard at night.

Although he was on night duty, Shangguan Jifu actually wanted to have some fun using Ye Kun's crossbow to shoot a couple of tigers or robbers to see the actual combat effect.

Ye Kun was also happy to be free and accompanied Jiang Yourong to sleep.

I have been busy hunting tigers and making bows and crossbows these days, and have neglected my beautiful wife.

After some sex, Jiang Yourong hugged Ye Kun's neck and said with a low laugh, "Da Lang, I've asked, and Dai Xi is willing to be your concubine, but you need to find a matchmaker to talk to her. I think we should let the village chief do it."

During this period of time, Dai Xi was busy hunting tigers and could not go out to dig wild vegetables. He had nothing to do and stayed at Ye Kun's house almost the whole day.

Every time she saw Ye Kun, Dai Xi's face would turn red and she would feel extremely shy.

Ye Kun also understood the meaning and was waiting for something.
