"Bang..."

  With this crisp sound, Xu Haifeng let out a long sigh and said: "Alas... I knew there would be such a day, but I didnt expect it to come so soon."

  Turning his head to look at the silent Zhebie, he continued: "Im telling you, Zhebie..."

  "What instructions does General have?"

  Xu Haifeng was taken aback, then smiled wryly: "Why did you have to use so much force? Look at this, its a top-quality Wushi bow, and youve actually broken it. Where am I supposed to find an even better one?"

  "I report back to the general, it is you who wants me to go all out and improve my skills. So I did my best, but unexpectedly this bow cant even withstand a single pull."

  After hearing his words, Xu Haifeng was completely speechless. No matter how he thought about it, in the end, it was still his fault. If he hadnt known that these people were heartless and ruthless, he wouldnt have been able to judge himself. He even suspected that Zhe was intentionally mocking him.

  "Alright, I understand. You practice other skills first, Ill go get you a new bow."

  Xu Haifeng arrived at the camps warehouse, only to find that there wasnt even a second five-stone bow. In fact, being able to draw a four-stone bow was already a rare feat among archers, and someone who could draw a five-stone bow with divine marksmanship skills was truly one-of-a-kind. The logistics department of the Western Capitals main camp had already been very considerate in preparing a single five-stone bow for him.

  Forget it, just because there isnt one here doesnt mean there isnt one in the big camp. If theres a first Five-Stone Bow, then there can be a second one too. He made up his mind to go to Western Capital, but actually he didnt have a strong desire to get the bow and arrow for Zhebie. The reason he wanted to go to Western Capital was that for this whole month, he had been feeling stifled and missed Weiwei terribly, so he found an excuse to go to Western Capital.

  Brought Qin Yong and ten guards, they quickly arrived at Xijing City by horseback. Xu Haifeng wanted to go directly to Zuiyuelou, but it was still early in the day and there were official matters to attend to, so he had to take care of them first.

  A group of people arrived at the logistics department, specifically asking for an old acquaintance, Tong Yifeng. Before long, Tong Yifeng entered the living room, accompanied by a scholar in his thirties or forties. Xu Haifeng felt that he looked very familiar, and upon closer inspection, he realized it was Cheng Ming, the staff member he had met at the Marshals Mansion.

  "General Tong, Mr. Cheng." Xu Haifeng hastily took the lead in paying his respects.

  "Ah, honored guest, General Xu has arrived! I, Tong, am overjoyed! No wonder this morning when I got up, the magpies in the tree at the gate were chirping non-stop!" Tong Yifeng exclaimed loudly.

  "Nowhere, General Tong, I am not one to enter the Three Precious Hall for no reason, I have come seeking help."

  "Oh, General Xu, whats troubling you? Just give the order and Ill do my best to accomplish it. If it cant be done, theres still Mr. Cheng here, he wont let you down."

  "The student is just a small clerk. If the two generals are having trouble with it, Im afraid I cant help." Cheng Ming laughed and declined.

  Xu Haifeng smiled slightly awkwardly: "Its not a big deal, its just that I have a subordinate who is quite strong, and this morning he was practicing archery and actually broke the bow. So I thought Id come take a look to see if theres a strong bow that can be used in an emergency."

  Tong Cheng and the other looked at each other, then turned to look at Qin Yong standing behind Xu Haifeng. Cheng Ming bowed his hands and said: "Is this the Qin Yong that General Fang highly praises? Indeed, he has superhuman strength, I admire him."

  Xu Haifeng saw that he had misunderstood, and just as he was about to explain, he heard Tong Yifeng say: "Qin Yongs name is renowned throughout the three armies for his bravery, and General Fang is indeed the greatest general of our great Han dynasty. His reputation is well-deserved. Ill go to the armory now to find a five-stone bow for Qin Yong to use."

  Xu Haifeng smiled wryly and didnt bother to explain. When he heard Tong Yifeng wanted to take the Wu Shi bow, he hastily stopped him, saying: "General Tong, wait a minute, my men broke that very Wu Shi bow today."

  "What?" The two of them exclaimed in unison this time.

  "General Xu, the great Han bows and arrows are divided into five stones. An ordinary archer can pull three stones, which is a strong man. Four stones are already rare, and the five-stone bow is called the king of bows. Those who can open the five-stone bow, even among the Tianying Army, there are only three people. Does Qin have such divine power to break the five-stone bow?" Cheng Ming asked in great surprise, forgetting his manners.

  "Mr. Cheng, if you dont believe me, let Qin Yong try it on the spot and youll know." Xuhai Feng thought that Zhebies strength was great, but compared to Qin Yong, there was still a gap. Since even Zhebie could pull off the five-stone bow, Qin Yong would be even easier. Unfortunately, Qin Yong didnt have the talent for archery, otherwise he would definitely be more outstanding than Zhebie.

  "Ive offended you." Cheng Ming said and turned to Tong Yifeng: "General Tong, may I borrow the Five-Stone Bow for a moment?"

  "Good." Tong Yifeng responded concisely. Cheng Ming was not only the nephew of Gu Daoxiong, but also a direct disciple of the Cheng family, one of the four major families. Neither identity was something that Tong Yifeng, a small logistics officer, could afford to offend. Since he had given the order, naturally it would be carried out in its entirety.

  Before long, a finely crafted five-colored bow appeared before the crowd. Tong Yifeng stretched out his hand and said, "General Xu, please try the bow."

  Xu Haifeng nodded at Qin Yong and said: "Qin Yong, go break this bow."

  "Yes, General." Qin Yong didnt say much either, walked up front, lifted the longbow, grasped the bow body and bowstring with both hands, and without seeing him use force, just casually pulled it. The five-stone bow was easily drawn into a full moon shape like a paper paste. Qin Yong continued to exert his strength, and saw that the full moon turned into an ellipse, then "pa" broke off abruptly.

  The two Tong Cheng looked at each other again, and both saw an extremely astonished expression in each others eyes. Being able to draw the Five-Stone Bow was what kind of divine power? If it werent for witnessing it with their own eyes, they feared that no one would believe them if they told others.

  "Good......" A burst of applause erupted, uneven and thunderous.

  Originally, Tong Yi sent someone to fetch the Five-Stone Bow. On the way, that person spread the news everywhere, so everyone knew that Qin Yong was going to try to break the Five-Stone Bow with his strength. Suddenly, it caused a sensation. In the logistics department, anyone who could put down their work rushed to the front of the hall to watch this rare spectacle. When they saw that Qin Yong had really broken the Five-Stone Bow, known as the king of bows, they couldnt help but cheer.

  "What a natural godly strength, General Xu has such a powerful assistant, no wonder he can create miracles repeatedly." Tong Yifeng gave a thumbs up and boasted, but suddenly changed his tone: "General Xu, the Five-Stone Bow is already the strongest bow in our Great Han Empire, Im afraid this is something that even I cannot help with."

  "Alas..." Xu Haifeng sighed, fortunately he had thought of this situation before coming, so he wasnt too disappointed, and just said: "Then please General Tong give me a few more Wushi bows, temporarily to cope with the emergency."

  "Wait."

  Everyone turned their heads to look, and saw one person standing out from the crowd, stepping forward and saying: "Mr. Cheng, I dont know if General Gus Heavenly Bow is available, but it wouldnt hurt to try it with him."

  "Whats this Opening Heaven Bow?"

  Xu Haifeng didnt know, but looking at the crowd whispering to each other, it seemed that half of them were asking about this matter. Looking back at the person who had just asked the question, he saw that he had a head full of silver hair and an old face, but his movements were agile and his voice was loud, and his age couldnt be guessed.

  "I remember that when General was first stationed on the Western Front, he once took out the Heavenly Bow and said that if anyone could draw it for a full month, he would give it to him. In the following ten years, countless heroes in our Western camp tried their best, but unfortunately, no one could even pull half of it, so this matter was put aside, and everyone was too ashamed to mention it again. But now that Qin has extraordinary strength, perhaps he is the master of the divine bow, why doesnt Mr. Cheng tell General to let him try?"

  Cheng Ming was taken aback for a moment, his mouth twitching slightly as he said, "Since its something from ten years ago, at that time the students hadnt arrived at the Western Camp yet, so I didnt know."

  "This bow is now hung in the main hall of the commanders mansion, for people to admire. Mr. Cheng, let us go together to see the commander and explain this matter, Im sure the commander will not go back on his word from that year."

  In the midst of everyones cheers and applause, Cheng Ming was helplessly dragged away by the old man. Xu Haifeng curiously asked Tong Yifeng about the old mans identity, but the answer made him jump in fright - this person turned out to be none other than Er Dongjie, the Minister of Logistics and one of only three full generals within the Western Fronts large camp.

  Not long after, an order was issued from the Commanders Mansion, ordering Qin Yong and others to move their troops to the large drill ground, where the Marshal would test his archery skills in front of the entire army.
