Transmigration begins with archery training

There is a separate rest area.

"I see your Majesty."

Lü Ji bowed in greeting.

"Lü Ji, you did a good job this time."

The Longqing Emperor praised, "If you hadn't been the first to tell me, I'm afraid I would have been kept in the dark for a while longer and wouldn't have been able to make full preparations in advance."

"It is Your Majesty's wise and sagacious decision."

Lü Ji respectfully replied, "I was merely fulfilling my duty as a subject."

"You're better than your master in this respect."

The Longqing Emperor said with satisfaction, "You are the eldest brother, so it would be perfect if you took over the Eight Great Camps in the future. I trust you completely. Tell me, what other rewards do you want?"

"His Majesty!"

Lü Ji clasped his hands in a fist and said, "Your Majesty, I wish to arrange a marriage for me."

"You, Lü Ji, are so powerful that even several elders of the royal family want to marry their daughters to you. You could marry any girl you like, so why would I need to personally propose marriage for you?"

The Longqing Emperor quipped, "Speak."

"Sun Li".

Lü Ji uttered two words.

Emperor Longqing's expression changed, and a smile curled at the corner of his mouth, seemingly a sneer, yet also a self-deprecating one: "Shouldn't you have asked your master if he's willing to do this?"

Lü Ji remained silent.

He had naturally asked that question long ago.

The master only had one sentence.

"Ask your junior sister yourself."

……

He emphasized, "I still humbly request Your Majesty to grant us this marriage!"

“Sun Xiangzong only has one daughter, so let him decide for himself.”

The Longqing Emperor coldly replied, "If you have a princess or noblewoman you like, even from an enemy country, feel free to speak up."

Lü Ji lowered his head and remained silent.

"Alright, you don't really like Sun Li that much. You just want to formally inherit your master's mantle in the eyes of outsiders. There's no need to go to such lengths. In matters of love, mutual consent is the most important thing."

The Longqing Emperor leaned back in his chair: "You already have three battalions under your command, and the commanders of the other battalions are all your junior brothers and sisters. After the expansion of the camps is completed, the new generals I sent also treat you with great respect. You can be considered to have inherited the mantle. Otherwise, I would bestow a title upon you now and give you the title of Grand Commander."

"Your subject dares not!"

Lu Ji hurriedly knelt down on one knee.

“Lu Ji, you don’t need to care too much about these things. Whether in the army or in the court, prestige is the most important thing. Sometimes titles are a burden. Take your master and me back then.”

"One of them is the least powerful prince, who can't even be granted the title of Prince."

"One was a military general who came from a family slave background and had only four thousand soldiers under his command."

"The two of us, one a scholar and the other a warrior, haven't we still managed to carve out our own territory and win the hearts and minds of everyone inside and outside the city?"

Emperor Longqing followed his advice and said, "Make good contributions on the grasslands, and in the future no one will dare to disobey you. What you want will come sooner or later. You are Sun Xiangzong's disciple and also my favorite minister among the younger generation."

"Your Majesty's words will be obeyed!"

Lü Ji said in a deep voice.

"Since I cannot grant you the marriage, I will compensate you with something else."

The Longqing Emperor patted the armrest of the chair.

"General Lu."

Huang Hong stepped forward carrying a tray: "These are all yours."

"This is……"

Lu Ji looked up and saw several sheepskin scrolls and a shattered incense burner on the orange-yellow silk.

How could he not recognize him?

This is the magical artifact that His Highness the Crown Prince used that night!

"I know you've always longed to advance further, but your master has been slow to teach you. It's alright if he doesn't pass on his knowledge; I will teach you!"

The Longqing Emperor said, "From now on, all the major temples in the north are yours to use, but you must not use them to harm my subjects through sacrifices. Do you understand?"

"I understand!"

Lü Ji accepted the tray with both hands, his eyes brimming with barely suppressed excitement.

"correct."

The Longqing Emperor asked, "If he didn't pass it on to you, did he pass it on to Chen Sanshi?"

"It shouldn't be."

Lu Ji said solemnly, "He has only just begun his studies, and his current level is relatively low."

"Yes, as long as you know it."

Emperor Longqing waved his hand: "Go back and recover from your injuries. Prepare for next year's campaign against the barbarians on the grasslands. We can't give them any more time to recuperate. Even if it comes at a great cost, we must teach them a lesson."

"Your Majesty, I will certainly not fail in your trust!"

Lü Ji, holding the tray, kowtowed deeply.

……

Warships.

Chen Sanshi stood on the deck at the stern of the ship, practicing archery on a straw figure on a small boat behind him.

After the court assembly ended, they returned to Liangzhou by boat that very evening.

The fighting in the east had long since ended.

Zhan Taiming's rebellion was a hoax. He was being held hostage and his subordinates were rebelling. Their only goal was to lure away a portion of the army. Once they realized that the troops being lured away were the Tiger Legion, they quickly quelled the rebellion.

The three prefectures of Ling, Lai, etc., will still be entrusted to the Zhen Dong Army for defense.

The only difference is that the regional governor has changed.

He seems to be a martial arts genius from Deadpool, about to break through to the Martial Saint level.

Deng Feng was also transferred.

Chen Sanshi's biggest gain from this trip was Meng Quji and the three thousand Xuanjia Army soldiers. Moreover, they had experienced a major battle and were truly a fierce and powerful army. Even among the eight major camps of Liangzhou, they would be considered elite. The only problem was that their commander was a bit weak, and he was only at the Great Completion of the Meridian Opening stage...

With nothing to do while sitting on the boat, he found practicing shooting boring, so he started practicing archery whenever he had a spare moment.

The panel floats.

[Skill: Archery. Perfect (Level 2 Breakthrough)]

Progress: (0/2000)

[Effect: ..., two shots in an instant, 100% accuracy at a range of 600 paces]

The second level of breaking limits mainly improves the speed of drawing the bow and the effective range of shooting arrows.

Two shots in an instant means that you can shoot about five arrows per second, compared to three arrows before. A quiver of arrows can be used up very quickly.

Six hundred steps, or eight hundred meters, and a living person standing there would really only be a black dot.

In fact.

Archery skills at this level represent the pinnacle of the world.

At Hulao Pass, Qianxun used a specially made quiver to hang arrows on both sides, and Deng Feng's green horse was also covered with arrows. Even with all the arrows on his back, he still had less than a thousand arrows, which was not enough.

Therefore, it's more important to increase the power of each arrow, since it has the effect of being "unavoidable".

After returning, it will be necessary to cut down the Ghost Vein Tree and then obtain some iron from the Immortal Seeking Pavilion.

After practicing for a while, Chen Sanshi put away his bow and arrows and returned to the cabin to chat with his senior brother about things at the ends of the earth.

"From here to the southeast, to the ends of the earth."

Fang Qingyun muttered to himself, then gave a self-deprecating laugh: "That's where my legs became useless. I never imagined that Cao Xie would leave something like this to the descendants of the Cao family."

"Senior brother, you've been there before?"

Chen Sanshi was curious.

“Not only have I been there, but I also had this jade pendant of yours before.”

Fang Qingyun said with relief, "Junior brother wants to go? That's true. If we wait another fifty years, not only will I be long gone, but you will also be an old man. However, this journey is dangerous, and Master is not here."
