Chapter 114: Martial Arts Contest (1)

Yi Ying smiled and poured herself a glass of fruit wine, this Li Yun is really insightful. He knows what the emperor is worried about, and he knows how to make a name for himself at the right moment.

"Who is this?" asked the old man, whose face changed slightly, and instead of accosting him, he asked with a smile.

Li Mo was stunned when he heard Li Yun's words, he didn't expect him to stand up and speak for Leyang. But he had already stood up, so he took the opportunity to introduce: "This is the younger brother of the palace, the third prince of Nanming, and the prince of Nanming." ”

The old man hurriedly stroked the shoulders of the two.

Li Mo nodded with satisfaction, and said: "This palace thinks that what my imperial brother said is very reasonable, the two countries have diplomatic relations, and the courtesies are still exchanged, I heard that the fifth prince who is the most favored by the king of Dongyi also came to Nanming this time, if Dongyi loses, would you like to leave the fifth prince in Nanming as a guest?"

The old man's face changed when he heard this, and he glanced at Taiji in Dongyi, not daring to answer.

Tai Ji also frowned, and whispered a few words to the old man in Dongyi language.

When the emperor saw their situation, he also had a number in his heart, and came out to play a round and said: "Since both sides of this lottery are so embarrassed, why don't you treat it as an ordinary competition, just make it lively." ”

Taiji also means this, although he is Dongyi Taiji, but there is no doubt that the old Dongyi King is the most favored is this fifth prince, if he leaves people here, I am afraid that his status will be damaged, and he will not dare to take risks.

The two sides reached a consensus and began to compete.

The emperor glanced at the people and said, "Which family's son is powerful in martial arts, come out to fight." ”

Song Jingran glanced at the British prince with a smile and said, "The old minister heard that the British prince has the power to raise his head when he is young, so why don't you let the prince come first." ”

The British princess stood up and bowed to the emperor as he had expected it: "Your Majesty, it's really unfortunate that Xiao'er has had a cold these days, recuperating at home, and couldn't come to the banquet, and he is not as powerful as Xue Ge said, and his qualifications are just ordinary." ”

Yiying watched thoughtfully. Song Jingran is the queen's faction, and the British prince is the queen of the Yuan Dynasty, the two factions are incompatible, Song Jingran doesn't think it's a matter of pushing out the British prince There is nothing to say, but the British prince didn't come so coincidentally, did the British prince know that there was such a thing that didn't let his son show his face?

But it doesn't make much sense, after all, Li Yun has decided not to lie dormant anymore, and the British father-in-law, as his maternal uncle, naturally has to fully support him, so it is really unexpected to dodge and dodge.

Song Jingran nodded with a smile, glanced at Xue Jianyan, paused, and said, "The old minister Dejun Wang Shizi is also very extraordinary......

Hearing this, King Dejun hurriedly stood up, his expression was a little flustered: "Thanks to the love of the elder of the pavilion, but the child is really shallow...... qualifications."

The emperor was a little impatient when he heard this, and said, "Don't push back and stop it, let people see the joke in vain, and let Tingning go up." ”

King Dejun promised to give Li Tingning a look.

Li Tingning nodded slightly, his expression was natural, and he walked up to the hall calmly.

Yi Zhen put down the chopsticks in her hand, looking a little nervous.

"I don't know which one Gongzi wants to challenge?" The old man looked at Li Tingning with a smile, and felt that Nanming's people were really too delicate, and they all looked like scholars who were powerless.

Li Tingning glanced at his father, pointed to the third-largest Dongyi person, and said, "Just him." ”

The old man's eyes flashed: "This is the most powerful archer in our Dongyi grassland, does Childe want to compete with him in archery?"

Li Tingning nodded, archery can be regarded as his forte, after all, he practices with Licheng every day, and he believes that nothing will go wrong in this regard.

Someone put two arrow targets at the entrance of the main hall, which looked very solid.

"Two wins in three games, Dongyi's brother please. Li Tingning said very ordinary rules and said to his opponent out of politeness.

Zan smiled, showed a mouthful of big white teeth, picked up the bow and arrow from the side, and pulled three arrows from the quiver.

Everyone was stunned.

But he saw that the Dongyi man was very skillful in arranging the bow and arrows, leaning back with his bow and shooting three arrows at once.

The three arrows were shot at the very center of the target.

Li Tingning gasped and said, "Brother, this is a three-game at once?"

The man chattered with the old man, and the old man ran over with a smile and said, "Praise him for being troublesome, so he shot three arrows at once, and he said that the son doesn't need to care, just shoot one arrow at a time." ”

Li Tingning's face changed slightly, so that even if he hit the bull's-eye, he was still a step shorter than the Dongyi people in terms of momentum......

He glanced at his father, who was silent, and gritted his teeth, it was such a time, and he didn't even have the qualifications to hide it.

So I chose a good bow and arrow, tied the horse seriously, held my breath, and shot three arrows in a row with sweat on my forehead, but fortunately, the arrow was also hit the bull's-eye, so I was relieved.

Yi Zhen also breathed a sigh of relief, and muttered: "Dongyi people are too arrogant, so they don't save face......"

Yi Ying looked at the two of them and said secretly: This time the distance between the person and the arrow target is much farther than that of the Zhang family, and it is extremely difficult for Li Tingning to shoot like this, the reason why he did not learn the three arrows of the Dongyi people is that he is not too sure.

No wonder the Dongyi people in the previous life were able to defeat all the people sent by Nanming, it seems that the strength is really terrifying.

"How about it? If you make a move, can you be sure?" Li Yun looked over there with a heavy face and asked Lian Jingqian in a low voice.

Lian Jingqian's voice was still a little lazy, and he said: "It should be on par with Dongyi's shooter." He glanced at Li Tingning and said, "He doesn't plan to continue to challenge." ”

Li Tingning's expression was slightly condensed: "It's too faceless to come back with just a tie, and if you avoid the limelight, it's too ......."

Lian Jingqian smiled: "No, he has no confidence." The three arrows just now were already his most perfect performance, and he didn't have the courage to challenge the next opponent. ”

Li Tingning did think so. He's already picked an opponent who doesn't look very strong, and he can still only fight for a draw. Looking at his appearance, it seemed that the three arrows were not effortless at all, but he was tired and sweating profusely, if there were equal shooters among the remaining three, he did not dare to guarantee that he could still get such a result.

His father asked him not to be in the limelight, not to win too much, looking at the moment, it is already good not to lose, if he loses Nanming's face, maybe the emperor will be punished. So, despite his reluctance, he couldn't go on.

So he arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, the minister's strength is exhausted, and there is no way to continue the challenge." He returned to his seat.

The emperor's face was a little heavy, he was not a layman, and he could see how powerful the Dongyi kid was just now. Originally, I wanted to give the Dongyi people a dismount, but now it seems that one is not good, and it may be Nanming's face that is lost.

So I was a little anxious in my heart: "Who else wants to go up to meet the battle?"

After a while, among the chattering men's seats, a very tall young man named Xiao Sheng stood out, the son of a third-rank military attachΓ©.

The emperor looked at him with a smile, and he was also slightly relieved.

Dongyi's side took the initiative to come out this time with a warrior who was very short compared to Xiao Sheng, Lou. Xiao Sheng was stunned and said, "Is it more than archery?"

The old man smiled: "No, compared to martial arts, or rather strength, is the son willing?"

Xiao Sheng felt a little funny: "Isn't it a bit of a bully to compare your strength with this Lou Gongzi?"
