Chapter 914: Slightly better
Lin Ruichen frowned slightly, his eyes were resolute, he nodded slightly, didn't say anything more, and strode towards the arena.
Lin Wan returned to the high platform and walked to his seat casually.
Ning Wuwu immediately greeted her, took her hand, and asked with concern, "Wan'er, how is it?
Lin Wan patted Ning Wuwu's hand, smiled slightly, shook his head, and whispered comfortingly: "Sister Wuwu, don't worry, my brother is not injured." I'll talk to you about it later. The next competition is about to begin, so let's go back and sit down. ”
Ning Wuwu listened to Lin Wan's words, and was very puzzled in his heart, but he didn't ask much, nodded, took Lin Wan's hand, and returned to the seats of the two together, and sat down separately.
Sure enough, Father-in-law Qi came back soon, and after asking Zhou Changan for instructions, he loudly announced the next round of competition projects to the audience.
The audience didn't know what was going on, and they were very much looking forward to the next competition, and after listening to the rules of the next round, everyone was even more excited and even applauded.
The second round of the final competition is to bend the bow to shoot live creatures, and only the four players who completed the first round of the competition participated in the second round of the competition, namely Liu Shikui, the general of Xiping, Lin Ruichen, the young general of the southern suburbs, Cheng Hu, the deputy general of the eastern suburbs, and Feng Zhigang, the deputy general of the Yulin Army.
Gonggong Qi did not announce what the living creature was, and the audience was speculating whether it was a bird or a beast. The difficulty of flying birds and the danger of beasts are high, and no matter which one it is, it is very attractive to the audience.
In the center of the racecourse, there was a square object covered with a black cloth, surrounded by four tall and powerful guards of the Yulin Army, of which the two on the left held a corner of the black cloth in their hands, and the two on the right held two iron chains in each hand. The four of them were expressionless, ready to go, just waiting for an order.
Liu Shikui, Lin Ruichen, Cheng Hu, and Feng Zhigang were riding on horses, holding a bow in their left hand, an arrow in their right hand, and a long quiver behind them, stopping in four different directions, staring intently at the black behemoth.
"Let's start!" Father-in-law Qi's sharp voice suddenly sounded, and the four Yulin Army guards exerted their strength at the same time, and the two guards on the left tore off the black cloth in an instant, revealing a large iron box made of black iron. The chest was surrounded by large iron plates, with the exception of an iron fence made of fine teeth on top.
The eyes of the spectators on the high platform and in the stands widened and could not tell what kind of bird was in the box, but saw a large black mass of something fluttering desperately in the box.
The two guards on the other side pulled the iron chain and ran out violently, only to hear a "bang", and the iron fence on top was completely lifted and fell to the ground.
And that large black mass suddenly flew out in all directions in a spray shape. It's so fast, it's jaw-dropping.
At the same time, the four players on the field had already quickly released arrows towards those little black things. Shoot the arrow, take the arrow, wind it, release the arrow, take the arrow again, wind it again, and so on, so fast, so that the audience is dizzy. Moreover, when they took the arrows for the second time, they had already begun to count the arrows.
The black birds were shot down before they had gone far, and it became clear that these little black things were tea falcons, the fastest flying small birds of prey in the world, and faster than them were the arrows of the four warriors.
When he ran out of arrows from the quiver on his back, he began to take the quiver hanging from his horse's back. The tea falcon in the vicinity was shot, and they went to chase the tea falcon that had almost flown into the woods, and the four of them sat on horseback, chasing and shooting arrows, but their accuracy was not affected at all.
There were about hundreds of those tea falcons, but under the hunting and killing of Liu Shikui, Lin Ruichen, Feng Zhigang and Cheng Hu, none of them managed to escape.
With the last tea falcon being chased to the edge of the forest by Lin Ruichen and shot, this round of competition officially ended.
The arrows of the four contestants were marked with different colors, and the Yulin Army picked up all the tea falcons that were penetrated by the arrows, pulled out the arrows on their bodies, collected them according to different colors, and then supervised by Gonggong Qi himself to count the number.
Finally, Gonggong Qi returned to the high platform, holding a white paper in his hand that recorded the number of tea falcons shot by the four players, and respectfully sent it to Zhou Changan, saying, "Your Majesty, please take a look." ”
Zhou Changan took the blank paper, looked at the competition results on it, first showed a hint of surprise, then a hint of smile, nodded, and said, "Announce it!"
"Yes, Your Majesty. Father-in-law Qi took the white paper with both hands, read it out loud as if announcing a holy decree: "The result of the second round of the competition is that Deputy General Cheng of the Eastern Suburbs Battalion shot one hundred and three tea falcons, General Liu of the Xiping Army killed one hundred and eighty tea falcons, Deputy General Feng of the Yulin Army shot one hundred and ninety-eight tea falcons, and General Lin of the Southern Suburbs Battalion shot two hundred and one tea falcons. ”
The results of Father-in-law Qi's game have not yet been read out, and there is already an uproar on the field, some people applaud, some people are frustrated, some people nod and praise, and some people analyze the reasons.
A young general sitting on the sidelines patted his thigh and said proudly to his companion: "Look, I'm right, right? I just saw that General Lin's movements were the fastest, and sure enough, he shot the most tea falcons, and in the end, he was a young man, and of course he was slightly better in speed." ”
Father-in-law Qi coughed lightly, signaled everyone to be quieter, and then continued: "The winner of the second round is General Lin Ruichen from the southern suburbs battalion!"
Although everyone already knew the result, when they heard Grandpa Qi's announcement, they still cheered loudly again. Especially those soldiers in Beijing, whether it is the eastern suburbs battalion, the southern suburbs battalion, or the soldiers in the Yulin Army, they all hope to win one of the three young generals.
Except for the personal guards brought back by Liu Shikui, almost everyone was cheering for Lin Ruichen. Even the officials who came to watch the ceremony, the sons and ladies in Beijing, were happy for Lin Ruichen's victory, and looked forward to the next third round of competition.
Lin Wan was also very happy, walked to the front of the high platform, waved vigorously at Lin Ruichen, and shouted loudly: "Brother, come on!"
Lin Ruichen also showed a joyful smile to his sister, and patted his chest at Lin Wan and Ning Wuwu on the high platform from a distance, hinting that he would definitely win the final victory.
And Liu Shikui, who was standing in the distance, quietly watching all this, tilted his head slightly, his face was expressionless, and his eyes were empty, as if everything in front of him was just a farce, as if he had already won the third round of the competition.
But Zhou Changan smiled slightly, took out two test papers from his sleeve, handed them to Gonggong Qi beside him, and slowly ordered: "Continue the third round of competition." ”
