Chapter 590: Cease Fire!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Although he had a bow before, it was merely a gift from Hunter Wu. It couldn’t be compared to the bow in the military camp. It was obvious that the bow in the military camp was better than the one given to him by Hunter Wu.

On the vast drill ground, there was a bull’s eye 50 steps in front of each person. Each person held a bow and carried many arrows on their back. They were waiting for someone to wave a flag and signal that they could shoot. Then, someone would teach them how to shoot and they would practice by themselves.

They were told that if one could hit the bullseye of a 50 step target every time, the target’s position would move back 100 steps.

An ordinary great general would be able to shoot through a forest with 100 steps.

Xue Wufu didn’t have such great ambitions. He felt that if he could hit the bullseye 50 steps away, he would be overjoyed.

On this side, Xue Wufu and the other recruits were being taught how to hold a bow and nock an arrow. On the other side, Shiye hurriedly lifted the curtain and entered the commander’s tent.

“Great general!” Shiye cupped his fists.

Shao Shuting was sitting in front of the table, looking at the map drawn on a large piece of kraft paper on the table. He didn’t even look up. “What’s the matter?”

“The new recruits are going to learn archery today, including Xue Wufu. You said that if that day came, I would have to remind you.” Shiye said.

Shao Shuting raised his head and sighed. Then, he said, “Who has the worst performance among the new recruits as of now?”

“Naturally, it’s Xue Wufu.” Shiye didn’t even think and told the truth. After he finished speaking, he noticed Shao Shuting’s expression stiffen. He quickly said, “Those aren’t his strong points, but today could change things.”

Shao Shuting was somewhat comforted by the words, but he didn’t have much hope.

Xue Wufu’s performance was terrible, and he was thoroughly disappointed.

However, Xue Wufu’s energy was nothing to scoff at. Among the new recruits, almost everyone was dead beat from training every day. After training, they didn’t want to move at all. This young man, on the other hand, was still alive and kicking. If it wasn’t for the strict control of the military camp, which forbade him from running around, he could have slipped from one camp to another, and then from one camp to another.

His father, Duke Shao, was about to die of anger because of Xue Wufu. He felt that Xue Wufu was slacking off, which was why he wasn’t tired at all after the training.

However, he dragged his father along and secretly observed Xue Wufu for a day. He found that Xue Wufu never slacked off during training. He was more diligent than others and was willing to suffer. However, he just for the life of him couldn’t learn the ways. His father was even angrier and said that he had never seen such a st*pid person.

Thinking about this, Shao Shuting sighed again. Then, he got up.

“I’d better go and take a look.”

No matter what, he would have to give up at one point, right?

When Shao Shuting arrived at the drill ground, he didn’t go near. He just watched the recruits learn archery from a distance. Once the recruits were taught how to shoot, they all started to practice. Arrows flew out one after another. Not all of them hit the bullseye, but at least one of them hit the bullseye.

They were all newbies and had never touched an arrow before, so it was normal.

He felt that it was normal tor them to miss the target.

However, when it was Xue Wufu’s turn, the scene suddenly became strange. Xue Wufu’s arrows seemed to have his own ideas. They didn’t hit the target, nor did they go forward. Instead, they went for the people in Xue Wufu’s team. These people were so shocked that they hid everywhere and cursed.

“Wufu, watch out! Why are you shooting at us?” The people in Xue Wufu’s team were still in shock. “How many arrows have you shot?”

They were starting to believe that he was really lucky to have shot the blind bear to death!

Shao Shuting also believed it.

At the same time, he no longer had any hope of Xue Wufu being a secret guard.

He closed his eyes.

It was better to carry the big flag..
