Chapter 637: Decisive Game
Archery, it's actually archery!
Riding archery was originally a skill that the aristocratic men of the Liang Dynasty had to master, and on the women's side, because of the high requirements for archery, the nobles generally learned to throw pots.
It's a pity that in recent years, the extravagance of Daliang Capital has become heavier, and there are fewer and fewer people who learn to shoot, especially the noble girls, and there are very few people who are proficient.
How could you be so unlucky to draw an archery?
The ladies of the Liang looked worriedly at the upright girls in the field.
Miss Li San is such a short person, I'm afraid she can't even pull the bow, right? It's really sad.
It's just that it was said early in the morning that one person will play three games in a row, and he can't even find someone to replace him.
Princess Xijiang was also stunned when she learned that the name drawn was archery.
In today's competition, the pitcher was drawn in the first game, and she thought that there would be no archery in the end.
This Princess Mu is so real, she said that the names of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, pot throwing and archery can be compared, and this princess really put the "archery" flower stick.
Of course, she had learned to ride and shoot, but not as well as her cousin Inna.
Princess Xijiang subconsciously cast her eyes on the Xijiang County Lord outside the field.
This is already a tiebreaker, it is a matter of Xi Jiang's honor and disgrace, and she can't afford to lose. But if it's a substitution, what reason should it be?
Princess Xijiang's palms were slightly sweaty.
At this time, Qiao Zhao spoke: "Does the princess need to be replaced?" β
Princess Xijiang was stunned for a moment, and looked at the girl who was two inches shorter than her.
The girl is delicate and petite, like a delicate orchid, although beautiful, it can't resist the wind and rain.
Can such a little girl really shoot arrows? She probably doesn't even have the strength to draw a bow, does she?
Princess Xijiang suddenly gained confidence, and a calm smile regained on her face: "Does Miss Li need to be replaced?" β
Qiao Zhao smiled slightly: "Although archery is not my forte, I have already said before that one person needs to compete three times in a row." A hundred gold is not as good as a promise, how can I lose my trust to the princess? β
Princess Xijiang opened her mouth, choked by Qiao Zhao and couldn't speak.
"Of course, if the princess needs to be replaced, I have no opinion." Qiao Zhao had a calm and generous smile on his face, but a sly light flashed in his eyes.
Just now when she saw the subtle change in Princess Xijiang's expression, she understood that archery was probably not what Princess Xijiang was good at. Since this is the case, she naturally wants to use words to squeeze Princess Xijiang and not be replaced.
Throwing pots, Xijiang has a master like the lord of Xijiang, and archery must not be weak, if the lord of Xijiang is replaced, even if she retreats from the ladies of the Liang and chooses again, I don't know if anyone is the opponent of the lord of Xijiang.
"No need to change people, let's just compete!" Princess Xijiang said with a tense lip.
This dead girl said that a hundred gold is not as good as a promise, if she opens her mouth to change people, she will become a dishonest person, wouldn't she lose Princess Xijiang's face.
"Then let's get started."
The East Park side has already gotten the news.
"Uh, the last competition was archery?" King Mu looked slightly surprised.
Everyone shook their heads: "Riding and shooting is not a woman's director, I don't know what this archery is like?" β
Chi Can sneered in his heart when he heard this: Just you embroidered pillows are embarrassed to laugh at Li San, how Li San's archery technique is not talked about first, but people have really shot people.
Ting Quan once said to him that no matter how good kung fu you are, it is completely different from those who have not killed someone, and the difference is only known to those who have experienced it.
"This is still Xiao Wang's Wang Mei and the fiancΓ©e of the champion Hou?" King Xijiang Gong pretended to be calm and asked, but his heart began to be worried.
Wang Mei's archery skills are good among women, but they are still much worse than her cousin Yingna, and if Yingna plays this game, she will be completely sure.
King Mu smiled and nodded: "Yes, it's still a competition between the princess and Miss Li." A hundred gold is not as good as a promise, and it is not easy to change what they agreed before. β
When he heard the words from the princess, he couldn't help but applaud the girl Li.
Let's not talk about winning or losing the last game, just for the intelligence of that little girl, she deserves his praise.
King Mu set his eyes on Shao Mingyuan.
This world is the world of their Jiang family, and the best objects in the world should belong to his Jiang family, and the same goes for women.
In the future, whoever is the champion Hou Zhan, he will definitely make him vomit!
"Women are more interesting than archery, Lord Wang, can Xiao Wang go and watch it?" King Xijiang Gong couldn't help but make this request.
As early as he learned that Wang Mei lost two games in a row to the fiancΓ©e of the champion Hou, he wanted to see it very much.
What is so special about the girl Li who is similar to the dancing girl in his house?
Shao Mingyuan put the wine glass on the table and stood up, and said with a smile: "Since the prince is curious about archery, why don't we men from the two countries have a try?" β
Although he is willing to watch Zhao Zhao shine, it is not pleasant to let a group of big men watch.
When he is unhappy, he wants to teach people a lesson, well, beating up Xijiang people is definitely not as strong as beating Tartars, but it's better than nothing.
King Xijiang Gong was dumbfounded when he heard this.
They also had a competition here in Dongyuan just now, and the comparison was fist and foot kung fu.
This time he came to Daliang, Brother Wang specially asked him to bring the first warrior of Xijiang, just to test the depth of the champion Hou, who knew that their first warrior was thrown out of the field by the champion Hou with one hand after he came on the field, and the sword and marksmanship behind him were simply not comparable.
The gap is too big, so why humiliate yourself!
"This-" Under the pressure of Shao Mingyuan's scorching gaze, King Xijiang Gong coughed lightly, "I have already tried my martial arts just now, so this time it is better to change to a text." β
Through the wine, the competitiveness of both sides was raised, and they asked, "What does the prince want to try?" β
King Xijiang Gong smiled: "Let's play chess." β
In the West Garden, everything needed for archery has been prepared.
Two arrow stacks were placed dozens of steps away, and Princess Xijiang held the longbow and asked Qiao Zhao, "How does Miss Li want to compare?" β
"The princess says the rules."
Since Princess Xijiang has become timid, she will definitely seek something beneficial to herself from the rules, and such rules are not equally beneficial to her?
"Women's strength is naturally inferior to men's, and it doesn't matter who we shoot farther, so let's shoot accurately. We shoot 10 arrows each, and if we miss the target, we will be divided into four parts from the bull's-eye to the edge, with one point on the inside and outside, three points in the middle, six points on the inside, and 10 points if the target is in the bull's eye. What does Miss Li think of this? β
"Very good, please princess shoot the first arrow first."
Princess Xijiang did not shirk, silently adjusted her breathing, bent her bow and pulled the arrow, and the arrow shot out like a meteor, and actually hit the bull's-eye.
The audience was in an uproar.
When the "archery" was drawn, Princess Xijiang's performance was not as confident as before, they thought that Princess Xijiang was not good at archery, but they didn't expect that the first arrow hit the bull's-eye!
"For the first arrow, the princess has ten points."
Princess Xijiang put away her bow and said with a smile: "Miss Li, it's your turn." β
