Chapter 28: Riding and Archery Competition
The men competed in riding, and the women naturally watched and cheered.
Gu Qinghe naturally attended, she sat next to Gu Manting, and was reprimanded by Gu Manting in a whisper.
Obviously because of Liu Chen's business.
This time, Gu Manting asked Gu Qinghe to come to Lushan because Liu Chen was a little interested in Gu Qinghe, and he also saw that Gu Qinghe was ruthless and smart, and he Gu Manting needed such a chess piece.
However, he also took a bit of a risk because Gu Qinghe was not completely in his hands.
But this time, after all, this is a rare opportunity, and I missed it, and I don't know when I will wait.
So the risk is also worth it.
However, after coming to Lushan for two days, I didn't see any movements of Gu Qinghe, but Xianghe attracted Liu Chen's attention.
Although he also had the idea of marrying Gu Xianghe to Liu Chen, Xianghe was a concubine after all, which was really no advantage compared to Xiao Qingyu, so he took the risk of considering Gu Qinghe as a concubine.
Gu Manting suppressed the anger in his heart and scolded Gu Qinghe in a low voice.
Gu Qinghe looked indifferent and confident, and said, "Dad, you don't have to worry, Qinghe will definitely not let you down." ”
Gu Manting has no confidence in Qinghe's self-confidence at all, he has been with Liu Chen for so long, so he naturally knows how powerful Liu Chen is.
He was not completely sure that he could win Liu Chen's favor with Qinghe.
So Gu Manting threatened: "If you fail this time, you don't want to stay in this Lan Yuan!"
Gu Qinghe said yes in his mouth, but he was extremely disappointed in Gu Manting in his heart!
It seems that even Xiao Ruolan is nothing in his eyes now!
The competition in the field was announced, and the rule was that each person had ten arrows, and while riding a horse around the shooting range, they would shoot all the arrows in the quiver, and finally the winner would be whoever had the most arrows closest to the bull's-eye.
The people who first started to play all came out to throw bricks and lead the way, including Gu Yitang and Gu Juntang, who were ordered by Gu Manting not to steal the limelight.
Gu Yitang was hit by six arrows, and Gu Juntang was hit by seven arrows, this result is actually not too bad, I can barely see it, but it is impossible to win the championship.
A group of inconsequential people came on and off the field one by one, and in the end, only Liu Ling and Liu Chen remained.
Liu Chenqian conceded: "Big brother, you invite first." ”
Liu Ling did not give in, or it was difficult to give in.
He didn't like this brother the most.
Liu Ling felt that Liu Chen always wore a mask, it was not true that he was angry, he was not really laughing, and even what he said was estimated to be fifty percent untrue.
However, he is his own brother, even if this own brother has been plotting how to take his place.
Liu Ling put the quiver on his back, held the bow and arrow in one hand, and held the reins in the other, and jumped on a white horse with a very good coat color and body shape.
He struck his horse and started running, drew his bow and stringed, and then with two swishs, two arrows shot out at the same time, firmly on the red hearts of the two targets.
There were bursts of cheers from the audience.
Liu Ling was very fast, and there were two arrows every time he hit the string, so the ten arrows quickly pierced into the arrow target, and each of them was in the red heart position.
The audience cheered, and even the emperor stood up and applauded.
Liu Ling got off the field and handed the bow and arrow in his hand to Liu Chen: "Third brother, it's up to you." ”
Liu Chen smiled, but his eyes did not have the slightest warmth, he jumped on the horse, pulled his bow and released arrows, but it was four at a time.
All four arrows landed on a target, and the arrows of each arrow penetrated the target by more than an inch.
The people around him couldn't help but take a cool breath.
Liu Chen pulled the bow again, still took four arrows and put them on the string, the same as just now, it still landed on the same arrow target, and then the arrow penetrated the arrow target.
Liu Ling's face flashed with a kind of incredulity and a touch of admiration, it was incredible that he didn't know that Liu Chen was so good at riding and shooting, and the admiration was just for Liu Chen's good skills.
Of the ten arrows, Liu Chen still had two left.
He took out the last two arrows and drew a full bow.
Everyone in the audience thought that he would be like just now, but the result was beyond everyone's expectations.
The bow is broken!
Syllable!
Before the arrow left the string, the bow broke first.
Liu Chen looked helpless: "I lost." ”
Gu Qinghe sneered, and secretly said that Liu Chen is really not a fuel-efficient lamp!
The people who understood in their hearts certainly knew that this was done by Liu Chen on purpose, and they couldn't help but look at Liu Ling.
Liu Ling's face was a little ugly.
Liu Chen is like this, he is the first, but if the bow continues, then Liu Chen is the first.
Liu Chen could have changed his bow to continue, but he took the lead in admitting defeat, and this admitting defeat became a kind of humility.
Deliberate humility became a slap in the face of the crown prince Liu Ling.
Liu Ling won the championship, and the emperor naturally rewarded him, just as the emperor promised before, to give him a wish, as long as it was not too much, he would definitely be satisfied.
Liu Ling said a painless wish, and this matter passed like this.
But in fact, even Gu Qinghe didn't expect that this was just the beginning!
Liu Chen's appearance on the field today made many young women present moved.
Liu Chen, to be good-looking, to have power, and to be talented, all of these are heartwarming for an ancient woman.
Gu Xianghe naturally saw and heard the love and discussion of the surrounding women, so she was anxious.
Although the jasmine tea attracted Liu Chen's attention before, and even Liu Chen said a few words to her, it was not enough, far from enough.
The women present were much better than her, especially the disparity in status made her almost dare not look up in front of people.
Especially when facing Xiao Qingyu, when facing Xiao Qingyu's arrogant and disdainful gaze, Gu Xianghe almost wanted to find a hole to get into.
Therefore, after the racecourse competition ended, Gu Xianghe found Gu Qinghe and wanted her to help come up with ideas.
Gu Qinghe was still calm and relaxed, and said to Gu Xianghe, who was in a hurry: "You don't have to worry, isn't there still a chance to show your talent tomorrow night, and then you can use my method to sue you, and you will naturally be able to win Liu Chen's admiration." ”
Today, the men have tried their skills on the field, so the women will not be idle.
The night before leaving Lushan, the queen arranged a dinner party, and the content of the dinner was to admire the talents of the ladies present.
And this is also the biggest reason why Gu Qinghe feels that this trip to Lushan is a blind date in disguise.
Gu Xianghe thought of Gu Qinghe's suggestion, and couldn't help frowning: "Can it really work?"
She seemed a little unsure.
"Of course, you can do otherwise, but don't blame me for the failure of the matter. ”
