Chapter 638 is not a draw
Princess Xijiang hit the bull's-eye with one arrow, which made the atmosphere suddenly tense, and everyone watched Qiao Zhao's performance with bated breath.
Qiao Zhao held the longbow in his hand and aimed it at the target.
Her ears rang the words that her brother-in-law Shao Xiyuan had said on the martial arts arena of the Marquis of Jing'an's Mansion.
"Second sister-in-law, you have nothing to do every day anyway, can I teach you archery?"
"Second sister-in-law, you can't shoot far with your strength, let's practice the head, our Shao family's archery is stunt, you learn hard according to what I teach, you will definitely be able to shoot through Yang in 100 steps, uh, no, you will definitely not be able to shoot 100 steps......"
"Hey, second sister-in-law, I found that although you have a hard time learning our Shao family's fist and foot kung fu and have no talent, you still have some talent in learning archery. I know, this must have something to do with the quiet nature of the second sister-in-law. My dad said that if you want to shoot in the crosshairs, you must first calm down, and only when you are calm can you have a steady hand. β
β¦β¦
Thinking of these memories that seemed to have been in the past for a long time, the corners of Qiao Zhao's mouth couldn't help but pull up slightly.
She has lived in that deep mansion compound for nearly three years, and after getting acquainted with her brother-in-law Shao Xiyuan, she has practiced archery with him for more than two years.
My grandfather once said that you don't have to worry about a lot of skills, because you don't know when the skills you have learned can help you and even save your life. So don't waste the talent that God has given you, and don't spend all your good time in sorrow.
Qiao Zhao held the longbow and did not move, and the noble lady's seat began to be filled with uneasy emotions.
"What's wrong with Miss Lisan, standing there holding a bow and not responding. β
"Oh no, is Miss Li San stage frightened?"
"Actually...... Miss Li San doesn't blame her for stage fright, how old is she, the two wins just now are so beautiful, no one can match. β
"Yes, but if we lose this time, our Liang will lose to Xijiang, and then that annoying princess Xijiang should speak in a weird way. β
"I can only blame our bad luck, who let the last draw to shoot archery, if it is drawn to play chess or draw, I think Miss Li San will definitely win the princess Xijiang." β
In the whispers of the nobles, Qiao Zhao moved.
She stared closely at the arrow target dozens of steps away, her heart was completely calm, and she could no longer hear any sound in her ears, as if she had returned to the familiar martial arts arena.
That martial arts arena is probably the only bright color in her memories of the Jing'an Hou Mansion.
There was her sweat there, and it also carried the vague expectation she pressed in her heart.
From her youth to her twenties, she has always been curious about the husband her grandfather personally selected for her, and that curiosity has accumulated in her heart, and it has gradually fermented into a good feeling.
That young general is her grandfather's favorite, she trusts her grandfather's vision, how can she not expect him.
The hand fell loosely, and the arrow flew out like a meteor, and many noble women were so frightened that they closed their eyes and did not dare to look at the result.
I couldn't hear the sound around, and some of the noble girls closed their eyes and pulled the sleeves of the people next to them: "Are you hit?"
Soon came the helpless voice of the person next to him: "Don't pull me, I don't dare to look at it!"
Fortunately, the person in charge of the inspection quickly announced the results: "It hit the bull's-eye, and Miss Li San got ten points." β
Hearing this result, the ladies of the Great Liang all forgot about Su Ri's reserved and dignified and cheered.
Princess Xijiang glanced at Qiao Zhao suddenly, but saw that the other party was standing still with his eyes down, and there was no reaction at all.
Princess Xijiang frowned.
What do you want to do with such an out-of-this-world appearance?
"The princess can shoot a second arrow. β
Princess Xijiang exhaled softly, adjusted her stance, and shot the second arrow.
It's the bull's-eye again!
"Miss Lisan, it's your turn. β
Qiao Zhao was different from Princess Xijiang, his expression and posture did not change at all, and he bent his bow and pulled the string to shoot the second arrow.
"Right in the bull's-eye, Miss Li San has ten points!"
Princess Xijiang bit her lower lip.
I really didn't expect that there were still women in this world who pressed her everywhere, not to mention that there was no shortcoming.
Fortunately, although she is not as good as Lord Inna in archery, she is also outstanding among women, and it is not difficult to shoot such a stationary arrow target, as long as there is no accident, ten arrows hit the bull's-eye.
"Hit the bull's-eye, the princess has ten points!"
β¦β¦
"Right in the bull's-eye, Miss Li San has ten points!"
The ladies were dazzled, and their hearts fell and lifted, and they were lifted and dropped, and in the end they were already a little numb.
"Right in the bull's-eye, Miss Li San has ten points!"
For a long time, there was no reaction from the two people standing in the field.
"Why don't you keep ejaculating?" a noble girl muttered.
"It seems to be the end of the ......"
"It's over? I sound like it's always ten. β
"Yes, so Miss Li San and Princess Xijiang have a draw?"
The person who recorded the score announced the results: "The princess and the third girl Li are both ten arrows hit the bull's-eye, each scoring 100 points, and this one is a draw-"
"Wait a minute. Qiao Zhao suddenly interrupted the man's words.
Seeing everyone looking over, Qiao Zhao nodded slightly to Princess Mu: "Princess, I want to ask you to send someone to check at the arrow battlement, this game should not be a draw." β
As soon as Qiao Zhao's words came out, everyone present was stunned.
What does Miss Li San mean by this? They both watched the performance of the two of them with wide eyes just now, and both of them were ten shots and ten hits, how could it not be a draw?
Princess Mu instructed the female officials around her: "Go and check the target." β
The female officer was ordered to go and check, and saw an arrow stuck in the center of each of the two arrow targets, and replied: "Return to the princess, the last arrow of the princess and the third girl Li is right in the bull's-eye." β
Princess Mu looked at Qiao Zhao: "Third Miss Li, this-"
"The princess might as well ask someone who is proficient in archery to go and check it out. β
Princess Xijiang sneered: "This game is obviously a draw, why does Miss Li repeatedly ask people to check it? Could it be that she feels unwilling to tie with this princess?"
The other party was a foreign princess, Qiao Zhao didn't want to take advantage of his tongue, and looked at Princess Mu with a calm expression.
Princess Mu sighed for a moment and said: "In this way, I will send someone to the East Garden to invite a guest who is proficient in archery to judge, they have not seen the competition process, the judgment result will be fairer, what does the princess think?"
Princess Xijiang chuckled and nodded: "Princess, please." β
On the side of the East Garden, King Mu's eyes flashed slightly when he got the news: "Uh, there was a controversy in the West Garden Arrow Competition? Obviously, Princess and Miss Li are both ten arrows in the bull's-eye, but Miss Li said that it is not a draw?"
"Yes, my lord. The princess asks you to choose a person who is proficient in archery to judge. β
Shao Mingyuan stood up: "I'll take a look." β
King Mu smiled: "Master Hou, your fiancΓ©e is a contestant, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to convince the public if you go." In this way, our archery skills are not weak, so let's just go and have a look together. β
Shao Mingyuan was also curious about the results of the competition over there, and nodded in agreement.
Several people went over together, and after inspecting the two arrow stacks, they all pointed to one of the arrow stacks and said, "Whoever shoots this arrow stack will be the winner." β
