"If this lord kills you like this, are you convinced?" Lu Bing asked with a sudden smile.

"..." Mu Bi lowered his head and said, "Convinced!"

"I don't think you are convinced!" Lu Bing said, Mu Bi suddenly raised his head and quickly lowered, but the anger that flashed in his eyes still fell in Lu Bing's.

"I heard that your Lisu crossbow arrows are divided into two types, one is a poisoned arrow, and the other is not a poisoned arrow." Lu Bing suddenly looked at it and said, "Why don't you use a poisoned arrow to kill my people, but Use non-toxic arrows?"

"Jingtai Yunnan Book History" once recorded: "The famous Lisu people often bring medicine arrows, bows and crossbows, hunting animals".

Lisu people, more powerful people, especially good crossbows. "Every time his wife is made to carry a small wooden shield forward, shoot it from the back, the shield will not hurt the woman" This is the description and description of the Lisu people's superb crossbow skills in the classics.

The mountains and valleys inhabited by the Lisu nationality are full of virgin forests, where various birds and predators haunt the forests.

In the long-term life practice, the industrious and brave Lisu people invented and created a variety of production tools, and trained a complete set of skills and abilities to fight fierce birds and beasts, adapt to the environment and transform nature.

Crossbows and poisoned arrows are representative of them.

Not to mention the bow. The Lisu crossbow is quite special, consisting of a crossbow body, a crossbow plate, an arrow slot, a crossbow string, a crossbow tooth, and a crossbow machine.

The crossbow board is made of hard and flexible rock mulberry or Qinggang chestnut, and varies in size. The crossbow string is twisted with four strands of fine twine of appropriate thickness. Both crossbow teeth and crossbow machines are made of bones.

When using, pull the tough crossbow string to the crossbow teeth, place the arrow on the crossbow body, aim at the target and pull the crossbow machine, use the elastic force of the crossbow plate and crossbow string to shoot the arrow.

The crossbow arrows are cut from bamboo blocks, and the tip of the head can be covered with iron. The tail is equipped with a triangular tail wing made of bamboo skin that can increase flight stability.

Crossbow arrows and bows are divided into non-toxic ordinary arrows and poisonous arrows.

Ordinary arrows are generally used to shoot birds, squirrels, pheasants, hares and other small animals. To deal with fierce tigers, bears, wild boars and other big animals, you must use poison arrows.

The poison used for poison arrows is made from the rhizomes of the wild plant Heigrass. Apply it to the small groove at the tip of the arrow to become a poisoned arrow.

This kind of poisonous arrow is extremely toxic. The arrowhead shoots into the body, and when it comes in contact with blood, it will quickly flow all over the body, causing the animal to be poisoned and killed.

The crossbows and arrows of the Lisu nationality seem simple, but in fact, the determination of their shape, the choice of materials, the installation of the arrowheads, the shape of the arrow tail, etc., are all determined by the accumulation of experience from generations to generations.

The crossbow and poisonous arrow of the Lisu nationality is not only their traditional hunting production tool, but also a very useful weapon. It has played a huge role in the resistance struggle.

Lu Bing never fought insecure battles. On the way to Yunnan, he naturally wanted to know more about the situation in Yunnan.

However, he really didn't think about dealing with the Lisu people and other mountain people. Before coming, he just planned to make a quick battle and then return to Beijing immediately.

But now that we have encountered it, we can only solve the immediate problem first.

Lu Bing didn't want it. When he was dealing with the Bailian Sect, he had to be careful of the poisonous arrow behind it... If it can't solve the problem of the Lisu tribe well... Lu Bing doesn't mind solving the Lisu tribe first.

Lisu hunters can be said to be sharpshooters, and Mubi is the best among them.

When Mu Bi heard Lu Bing's question, he hesitated. He knew that if he answered this question, he would admit the attack in disguise and he was the main messenger.

However, Mu Bi felt Lu Bing's increasingly cold gaze, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "The Caomin doesn't mean to oppose the court. It's just that the tribe is being bullied. There must always be a response... Don't shoot vital points or use poisoned arrows. It was Cao Min deliberately instructed to go down... Please believe that Cao Min, and the Lisu people, absolutely have no intention of opposing the court!"

"You don't have the qualifications to oppose." Lu Bing smiled contemptuously: "However, very good, the officer is very satisfied with your answer. If you continue to conceal, the officer can only think that you are too cunning to stay."

Mu must sweat coldly, can't help secretly cry out for luck.

Mu Bi quickly took advantage of the heat to strike the iron, and continued: "My lord, the Caomin is willing to use the life of the Caomin to atone for the tribe!"

"What does this officer want your life for?" Lu Bing smiled.

Mu Bi was overjoyed and quickly said, "Thank you, my lord! Your magnanimity..."

"Hold on," Lu Bing raised his hand to stop him: "Capital crimes can be avoided, living crimes cannot escape."

"My lord, please punish!" As long as he doesn't die, Mu must be very satisfied.

"Let's play a game." In order to convince Mu Bi, the Lisu people were convinced, Lu Bing did not end his prejudice: "You are a famous archer, and under my command, there is also a archer. You and mine. The archer of the gods, if you win, I will let you and the sneak attackers go. If you lose... don’t blame this official for being cruel!"

Mu Bi's face condensed, and Lu Bing's murderous aura made Mu Bi have no doubts how miserable the result would be after losing.

But in this situation, how can Mu Bi oppose...

It's already bright, and in the middle of the day, you can see the style and features of the Lisu villages more clearly.

In the vast dense forests and mountains, there are gourd-like villages of the Lisu ethnic group. The vine-like mountain road passes through the pine forest and the green gang forest, secretly connecting the quaint villages with the dam area.

Lu Bing couldn't help feeling that it would be difficult to control these villages if there were not enough manpower.

Lu Bing said to Sun Quan and Huang Lian'er: "You are on guard, don't make trouble."

The couple nodded at the same time, and Lu Bing asked Zhang Ju, who was checking the bowstring and arrows, "Are you ready?"

"Don't worry!" Zhang Ju was full of confidence, and said, "I will definitely give this bad breath for my brothers!"

Lu Bing nodded in satisfaction, and said, "Not only to win, but to win beautifully. Crossbows are the housekeeper of the Lisu people. As long as you destroy their power and prestige on crossbows, their arrogance will be beaten. Half! And Mu must be their Lisu hero, and even the best marksman. If you defeat him, you will destroy the Lisu's faith and confidence."

"Understood!" Zhang Ju shook his bow and said loudly.

On the Lisu side, I heard that the noble Kuomu Bipa wanted to compete with the archer of the Han people. They walked out of the house one after another, and some even wore festive costumes.

Men and women wear different clothes. Most men wear linen gowns outside, linen gowns or linen shorts underneath, and knee-length black trousers underneath. Wear a black, white or blue toe cap, a knife on the left waist, and a quiver bag on the right waist.

Most women wear right-breasted clothes on top and pleated skirts underneath. On their heads, they wear beaded caps "Ole" or Baotou of various colors made of shell pieces and coral beads.
