Chapter 214: Duke Campbell

"This is Mr. Tang Hao from China, and this is Alan Covington. "After McCann came up, he introduced Tang Hao and the little boy to each other.www.biquge.info

"You will be the guests of this exhibition match. McCann continued.

As soon as these words were spoken, Tang Hao and the boy named Covington both looked at each other in surprise, as if they didn't expect that there would be each other.

"There's still 10 minutes left in the exhibition match, so get ready, and then Prince William and a lot of knights, as well as ambassadors from all over the world, will be there, and I hope you can do well. McCann bowed to them slightly after saying these words, and left.

As soon as McCann left, Tang Hao and Covington were left staring wide-eyed.

After a while, although the two of them had doubts in their hearts, they both picked up their bows and arrows and began to prepare for the game.

If it comes, it will be safe.

Zhuang Jiajie took out his mobile phone at this time and tinkered with it.

Tang Hao checked the bow and arrows, and after confirming that there was no problem, he then looked at Covington.

To his surprise, Covington used a compound bow instead of a competitive recurve bow.

This discovery made him suddenly realize that, most likely, he was not the protagonist of this exhibition match.

"Tsk, interesting. At this moment, Zhuang Jiajie suddenly said with a smile.

"What's wrong?" Tang Hao looked at him suspiciously.

Zhuang Jiajie took his mobile phone over, lowered his voice and said: "I went over the wall and entered the British website, it turns out that we are not the protagonists of this exhibition match, this Alan Covington is a once-in-a-century British archery wizard who suddenly appeared this year, and is known as the most potential marksman in British history, and is even known as Robin Hood Turn." ”

"Robin Hood reincarnated, interesting. Tang Hao said with a smile, the current situation is indeed beyond his expectations, it is estimated that this is a show, of course, the protagonist is Alan Covington, and he is the green leaf.

Ten minutes was fast, fleeting, and by the time Prince William and the ambassadors had a great deal to say in the royal backyard.

Prince William is dressed in a suit and is heroic.

The appearance of Prince William immediately made the atmosphere of the scene solemn, the guards lined up with guns, and the band began to play.

Tang Hao and Covington were both asked to stand in specific positions.

"William, the sharpshooter from the East, won the individual championship at the Asian Games not long ago. Next to Prince William, the closest to him was Duke Campbell, who was smiling and talking to Prince William.

The British title is hereditary, in the United Kingdom, the title represents the identity, with the different ranks, divided into dukes, marquises, earls, viscounts, barons five titles, all of which are hereditary, when the royal family was at its most prosperous, there were more than 40 dukes in the United Kingdom, but with no successors, or the decline of the family, there are now only more than 20 left.

As the highest title, the first generation of dukes is basically a famous prince, and he enjoys the highest treatment in the United Kingdom except for the royal family, but it is precisely because of this comfortable state that the age of the dukes is generally high, basically sixty or seventy years old, but at this time, the Duke Campbell, who is next to Prince William, is only 43 years old, and he is the youngest duke in active service.

However, this Duke Campbell is also the most declining duke in existence, his assets are only hereditary more than 60,000 acres of land, as well as the family's whisky business, and the family's financial resources are not even as good as some marquises, or even earls.

As a member of the Scottish Elephant Polo Team, he has always been close to Prince William, who loves sports, and from a political point of view, this is called hugging his thighs in advance, and commercially, this is a low-risk investment.

Following Campbell's gaze, Prince William looked at Tang Hao in the distance and nodded slightly, before Campbell said that he had found him an interesting archery competition, and asked him to send him an invitation, he agreed, but now it seems that this Oriental man does not seem to be anything special.

"That's Alan Covington whom I mentioned to you, our marksman, a new generation of Robin Hood, who is rumored to be able to shoot pumpkins from 100 meters. When he said Covington, there was a clear emotion of pride in Campbell's tone.

Prince William looked at Covington with a smile on his face, modern archery, like modern boxing, originated in the United Kingdom, but the British performance in the World Series is not satisfactory, which is definitely not a happy thing for Prince William, who loves sports.

Covington's name, he had heard it before, but this was the first time he had seen it, and it looked heroic, indeed very Robin Hood's style.

After a few more conversations, Duke Campbell and several other marquises, as well as ambassadors to England from various countries, also took the throne one after another.

At this time, Liu Xiaoming, the Chinese ambassador to the UK, also noticed the Chinese face not far away.

Tang Hao has repeatedly achieved great results in the world arena, his name and fame, Liu Xiaoming has also heard of it, and seeing him appear in the British royal backyard, the ambassador to the UK is also quite excited.

After all, it is a great honor to receive an invitation from Prince William.

Duke Campbell gave the earl beside him a look, and the earl named Louis then got up and said: "Gentlemen, ladies, today the prince has arranged an archery show for everyone, and for us to perform is Alan Covington, a young archer from the English countryside, and Tang Hao, who is from China and just won the Asian Games archery championship last year. ”

After introducing the two people on the field, Count Louis paused, and then continued: "The ordinary competition can no longer excite us, but today, our two sharpshooters will bring us a performance of shooting a cantaloupe that has just been picked from the farmland from 150 meters away. ”

Although they had not been exposed to archery before, they naturally had some basic understanding of archery after receiving the invitation letter from the prince in advance, and knew that the archery distance of the Olympic Games was 70 meters, and now the two players were going to shoot something 150 meters away, which was indeed very much expected to be heard.

"150 meters, cantaloupe, interesting. Even Prince William, when he heard that the distance and difficulty were even greater than what Campbell said, was full of interest.

Tang Hao had just learned what the competition was at this time, and then turned his head to look at Covington's application, although his expression was serious, there was a sense of confidence between his eyebrows, and it was obvious that he should have known in advance.

It seems that he was really carried and jumped into the pit.
