It is not necessarily true to say that it is a raw face, He Linwan felt that the person looked a little familiar, and after a little search from his memory, He Linwan remembered that this person was An Beiyue, Concubine Ande's own nephew, and the one who was the one who was killed by the living corpse of the snow leopard released by Li Yu Fighting Beast.

He Linwan didn't recognize it at the first time just now because An Beiyue's appearance has changed a lot compared with back then, An Beiyue was a young man with clear eyebrows, fine eyes, thin skin and tender meat, and his temperament was a little cold. Now he has grown a lot taller, his figure is much stronger, and his complexion has become a slightly dark wheat color, which is a bit like a teenager in the army.

He Linwan couldn't help frowning when he saw him, but looking at the courteous appearance of the little palace maids handing over handkerchiefs and water, this person's popularity now is not much worse than Yuan's.

It is unknown how An Beiyue's archery skills are He Linwan, but looking at his confident appearance, it must not be bad, otherwise Emperor Tiancheng would not agree to let him replace Cheng Yan.

Sure enough, when the attendants brought the arrow target, the warriors sent by An Beiyue and Daji Guo each shot ten arrows, and both of them hit the red heart with their arrows, but in this way, it was difficult to distinguish the winner from the loser.

At this time, An Beiyue proposed to shoot a live target, and everyone thought that the live target in his mouth was a moving arrow target, but he didn't want An Beiyue to say to Emperor Tiancheng: "Your Majesty, the minister said that the live target is to make people put a fruit on their heads, and then the person who shoots the arrow blindfolds and shoots the fruit on the human head." ”

Some courtiers felt that it was inappropriate when they heard it, but the son of the king of the south laughed and said that it was a good idea, he was tired of this kind of decent competition, and it was more interesting to have some tricks.

The visitor is a guest, the guests all said so, Emperor Tiancheng thought about it and agreed, and was about to order Cheng Yan to choose a few people from the forbidden army to be the target, but An Beiyue said that the target had to be selected by themselves to be fair, and only women could be selected, so the performance of the target was also the key to determining the outcome of the battle.

Da Ji Guo felt that this competition was very interesting, and was the first to agree, and Emperor Tiancheng agreed.

There was a lot of discussion on the part of the female dependents.

Someone said: "What if I don't shoot accurately and hurt my face?"

The first thing a girl thinks about is not what to do if she is shot in the head, but she is worried about hurting her face.

Someone said: "I heard that Gongzi An is good at archery, he should be fine, right?"

"Is that a guarantee of a 100-shot shot?"

"This ...... I don't know. ”

Dajiguo chose one of the female slaves he brought as an arrow target, and An Beiyue's eyes patrolled around the faces of the palace maids, and the palace maids who were originally around An Beiyue pushed me, and I pushed you, and no one dared to meet An Beiyue's sight, for fear of being picked as an arrow target.

An Beiyue was a little impatient, pointed to a palace maid and asked her to step forward, the palace maid was so frightened that her face was pale, but An Beiyue didn't have the slightest pity for the jade, ordered her to stand in the designated position, and then took a citrus from the fruit bowl held by the attendant and put it on her head. But just when An Beiyue picked up the bow and arrow and tried to aim at the fruit on the palace maid's head, the palace maid was so frightened that her legs were weak and she fainted to the ground.

An Beiyue tried to pick a few palace maids, but none of them could put the oranges on their heads safely.

The envoys of the Great Ji Kingdom let out laughter, and secretly laughed at the men of the Great Zhou Dynasty for not being able to discipline women, and the female slaves they selected stood there with citrus on their heads, and did not dare to move without the orders of their masters, because they knew that if the citrus on their heads fell off and lost their master's face, it would be a death.

Although the envoys were secretly laughing, the faces of Emperor Tiancheng and the ministers were a little unbearable.

An Beiyue looked at the arrow in his hand, sighed, and said regretfully: "Isn't there a woman with courage in our Great Zhou Dynasty?"

When An Beiyue said this, his eyes glanced at the female dependent.

Immediately afterwards, Princess Chunyang's ill-intentioned voice sounded, "I don't like to hear what my cousin says! Of course, women also have great courage! I heard that the commander of the Dengzhou battalion made Lord He's daughter He Linwan not let her eyebrows, and she has the style of her father, so she must not be afraid to be an arrow target for you, Miss He, you say yes?"

As soon as Princess Chunyang's words fell, the eyes of the people present looked towards He Linwan.

He Linwan sneered in her heart, she said, which one is An Beiyue singing?

The queen frowned, and reprimanded Chunyang in a low voice: "Nonsense! The girl of the He family is a show girl who has entered the palace to participate in the election, how can she be put in danger?"

Princess Chunyang said: "Queen Mother, the so-called show girl, isn't it the one who chooses Zhong Lingyuxiu? If the carefully selected people don't even have the courage to share the worries of the court, wouldn't it make outsiders laugh at the cowardice and uselessness of the women of our Great Zhou Dynasty?"

An Beiyue also smiled and helped, "I heard that Commander He is loyal to the court and His Majesty and is brave and good at fighting, Miss He, as the daughter of Commander He, must not be greedy for life and afraid of death, right?"

It seems that He Linwan did not agree to be this target today, which is to make the entire Great Zhou Dynasty a sinner who is embarrassed in front of foreign people, and how much heartfelt can Commander He, who can give birth to such a daughter, be sincere to the court and the emperor?

A flash of pride flashed in Chunyang's eyes, if He Linwan didn't dare to play today, she would definitely leave the impression of being greedy for life and afraid of death in front of everyone, and her family would also be ashamed of her at that time. If she dares to play, she will dare to let her cousin deliberately miss and make her face! As for whether she can win this competition, Chunyang doesn't care at all, if she loses, she will lose, and she will not lose a piece of meat.

Chunyang wanted to see the panic on He Linwan's face, but He Linwan's face was very calm, as if she was not the one who was forced to be the target.

Princess Chunyang gritted her teeth, "Do we want to watch the people of the Great Ji Kingdom laugh at the women of our Great Zhou Dynasty for not having the courage to ......go?"

Chunyang's eyes roamed around the faces of the other show girls, wanting to say that if He Lin didn't go at night, he would always choose one of the others to come out to save face as a woman in their Great Zhou, and pull the others together to coerce He Linwan and make her the target of public criticism.

He Linwan answered curiously: "If I don't go, Her Royal Highness the princess plans to go on the field herself as this arrow target?"

Chunyang choked.

He Linwan smiled at Chunyang and said slowly: "Princess Chunyang is really a model for the women of our Great Zhou Dynasty, and she is worthy of my emulation." ”

Xue Wanqing on the side couldn't help but chuckle.

Chunyang's face was red and white, of course she couldn't go up and be an arrow target herself! Just kidding, even if it was her own cousin who shot the arrow, there was no guarantee that the arrow would not be shot in her face.

Everyone saw that Chunyang's face was red, and she didn't say anything about playing by herself, so they naturally understood that her righteous and awe-inspiring words just now were just for others and not for herself.

The scene was very awkward for a while.
