Chapter 64: The Battle of Defeat
"Say whatever you want! It doesn't make any sense to sell it like this. Xiao Wanyao was not interested, and urged Xue Tianao to hurry up.
"So you can get a lighter bow and a best-of-three for ...... As long as you win two or draw with me, you win, is that okay? Xue Tianao also used his brain about this, he wanted to win Xiao Wanyao, but he couldn't let others think that he was bullying a weak woman.
Xiao Wanyao still has an opinion on this: "No matter how light the bow is, it will affect the stability, which will increase the difficulty of me aiming at the red heart, so it is better to give me a slingshot, and I will agree to the competition!" ”
Xue Tianao scratched his head in danger: "It's not that I don't promise you, it's just that who here can bring a slingshot?" You're not going to make excuses for not competing with me, are you!? ”
Tang Siqi also said: "It's true that no one will bring a slingshot, it's better for Wan Yao to be wronged and use a light bow to compare with Tianao, after all, it's just a game, don't take it too seriously." ”
Xiao Wanyao frowned, feeling embarrassed, after all, she was not a person who practiced martial arts, she had spent too much body on hunting just now, and she was definitely not Xue Tianao's opponent compared to bows and arrows, she only used it for the first time today, the probability of making mistakes was too great, but using a slingshot, Xiao Wanyao thought that she could make up for her many shortcomings and increase her chances of winning.
Although it was just a game, she couldn't be careless, Xiao Wanyao guessed that Xue Tianao was seventy percent likely to ask Xiao Wanyao to return to the palace when he won, he felt that it was safe to stay away from Tang Siqi, but he wouldn't know that when Tang Siqi was not in the palace, the palace was the most dangerous place for Xiao Wanyao, but it was too late to say at the moment, and she had no way to blame Xue Tianao, all he wanted to do was to be good to her. Even if it wasn't for this, Xue Tianao was so hard entangled, he must have other plans, no matter what, Xiao Wanyao couldn't let that seventy percent of the possibility happen. That will definitely affect your plans!
There was no way, Xiao Wanyao could only bite the bullet.
Xiao Wanyao went up and picked a bow to take advantage of, and then started the first game.
The rules of the first game are very simple, three meters away placed an arrow target, the arrow target has ten rings, each person has three arrows, the sum of the three shots is the winner.
Xue Tianao claimed that it was to let Xiao Wanyao have no burden, so he let her start first.
Xiao Wanyao carefully pulled the bow and arrows three times, and everyone present was nervously holding their breath, I didn't expect Prime Minister Xiao's daughter to be so powerful, Wen can dance ink, Wu can bend the bow, if it is a man, how can it still be a man!?
Many people are also sorry why Miss Xiao Er is a daughter, otherwise she will definitely be able to make a big difference.
"Seven Rings!" Xiao Wanyao's hand was released, and the arrow from the string shot straight at the target, and then the guard ran over and loudly reported the number of rings that Xiao Wanyao shot.
This made Tang Siqi really feel surprised, he looked at Xiao Wanyao and couldn't help but wonder how much energy such a thin body contained in order for her to know so many things.
Maybe the answer in Xiao Wanyao's heart is this-every qiē is created by suffering.
Xiao Wanyao calmed down, she didn't let herself gain the upper hand the first time, this arrow must be aimed at the red heart!
"Nine Rings!" It was another clear voice from the guards, and everyone praised this Miss Xiao Er, if the first time was luck, then this time it must be strength.
Xiao Wanyao pursed her lips and didn't speak, and then shot out the third arrow.
"Nine Rings!" The guard paused, then said, "A total of twenty-five rings!" ”
There was a spontaneous applause around, and they couldn't help but admire Xiao Wanyao.
Xiao Wanyao couldn't help but feel that she was really dangerous after hearing this, this bow was not as good as a slingshot, after all, rabbits were still a large target, and the arrow target could not be shot casually.
When Xiao Wanyao was worried, it was already Xue Tianao's turn.
Xue Tianao was holding the bow given by the first emperor, and he didn't hesitate to shoot the first arrow when he started.
"Six Rings!" The results reported by the guards shocked everyone present, wasn't Xue Tianao called a "marksman" by the first emperor? Then why did the first arrow make such a big mistake?!
This also greatly exceeded Xiao Wanyao's expectations, but it seemed that Xue Tianao was not worried, not only that, Xue Tianao also turned his head and showed a bright smile towards Xiao Wanyao.
But it is undeniable that Xue Tianao's smile was full of contempt and mockery.
Then Xue Tianao shot the second arrow, and the guards ran over to take a look, and then said, "Ten rings!" ”
Xiao Wanyao secretly calculated in her heart, there are a total of sixteen rings at the moment, unless Xue Tianao's next arrow is ten rings, if he doesn't let him, he will definitely not win against him.
But does he really have the strength? If so, why would the first arrow be disadvantaged?
The answer to the riddle was all answered after Xue Tianao shot the third arrow.
"Ten Rings!!" As the guards reported the results, "Twenty-six rings!" After that, everyone had to applaud the winner of the first game, although it was a narrow victory, Xue Tianao also won Xiao Wanyao with a one-ring advantage.
Twenty-six Ring ......
This is definitely not a coincidence, everyone else thinks that Xue Tianao deliberately missed a game in order to take care of Xiao Wanyao's face, the purpose is not to let Xiao Wanyao lose too ugly, but Xiao Wanyao can see it clearly, if Xue Tianao is to take care of her feelings, he will miss in the third round, he deliberately chose the first round, the purpose is to make Tang Siqi think that he is humiliating Xiao Wanyao.
And Tang Siqi really fell into the trap set by Xue Tianao, when he saw that Xue Tianao had no feelings for Xiao Wanyao and was just simply "revenge", Tang Siqi's heart was much more comfortable, he felt that with Xiao Wanyao's cleverness, he would not know Xue Tianao's humiliation of her, so it was even more impossible for them to have any feelings.
Xiao Wanyao glanced at Tang Siqi, and sure enough, Tang Siqi was restraining herself from being too happy, she could only sigh in her heart, is Tang Siqi "smart but mistaken by smart"?
"In the first round, Xue Tian won proudly." Tang Siqi announced the results of the game flatly.
Xiao Wanyao couldn't help but worry that in the future game, the chances of winning her were really ...... It's too small!
"Sister!" The game was interrupted by a childish child's voice, and everyone present saw a cute little boy standing outside the crowd with a slingshot in his hand, and of course, his father Xiao Ze standing next to him.
Xiao Shuxian slowly took the slingshot in his hand and handed it to Xiao Wanyao's hand, and then said with a smile in a childish voice: "Sister, this is the slingshot that my father made for Shuxian before, it is very easy to use, Shuxian likes it very much, I heard that my sister needs it, so I will use it for my sister first!" ”
Xiao Wanyao touched Xiao Shuxian's face with a smile, and then said, "Maybe you can solve my urgent need...... Shuxian, go back to your father! ”
Xiao Shuxian nodded seriously, and then ran towards his father Xiao Ze.
Xiao Wanyao picked up a stone of the right size, and then shot one at the arrow target that had not been pulled down, and the guard hurriedly ran to see it, and then told her: "Ten rings!" ”
Xiao Wanyao was very satisfied with this, it was calibrated!
The rules of the second round are as follows: each person still has three chances, but instead of shooting at the target, they shoot moving objects. A squire throws a wine glass into the air and then smashes it into a tongguò before hitting the ground, with the more smashed wins.
This time, Xiao Wanyao came first.
Xiao Wanyao chose a stone from the ground, and after it was ready, the guard threw the wine glass into the air, and as soon as Xiao Wanyao let go, she heard a crisp sound, no doubt that the cup was broken.
Followed by the second, then the third, Xiao Wanyao played calmly this time, coupled with the handy guy in his hand, Xiao Wanyao smashed three wine glasses without a little deviation.
Xiao Wanyao breathed a sigh of relief, so that Xue Tianao had only one result, and that was to lose in the second round.
Because it was Xue Tianao himself who promised it before - a draw counts as Xue Tianao's loss.
So the current situation is that Xiao Wanyao and Xue Tianao each win one game!
Although everyone wanted to see Xue Tianao's wonderful table, Xue Tianao knew that it didn't make much sense to compare this game, so he didn't want to waste time, and in the second game, Xue Tianao took the initiative to admit defeat.
In the third game, Xiao Wanyao proposed yì, and compared the number within the specified time, Tang Siqi felt that it was feasible, so Xue Tianao did not object.
Xiao Wanyao asked the eunuchs and guards to put a hundred wine glasses on the high platform three meters away, and Xue Tianao also had a hundred in front of him, during which Xiao Wanyao picked up a lot of suitable stones and put them on the silver plate beside her, preparing to have a final battle with Xue Tianao.
Xue Tianao turned his head to look at Xiao Wanyao when he was bored, and his casual eyes were mixed with a little worry, which Xiao Wanyao couldn't read. But he did make Xiao Wanyao feel a little flustered, and she couldn't help but turn her head to look elsewhere.
Soon a game began, although the previous one was exciting, but it was not enjoyable, many officials and noble children felt that they had come to the right place this time, because they could not only see Xue Tianao's archery, but also witness the martial side of the second lady of the Xiao family!
This time I came to the Qingshan paddock to witness this qiē, even if I just came to see the hunt, I have already earned it!
The time is based on the burning of a stick of incense, because it is outdoors, so the time for the incense stick to burn out is very fast, and the time of the game will not be too long.
Everyone present, including Tang Siqi, watched calmly and carefully, for fear of missing any wonderful place, thinking about it, no matter who wins, this will also be called the only one, and it is an unrepeatable game!
When the eunuch reported when the incense burned out, Xiao Wanyao and Xue Tianao also put down their weapons at the same time, and the results of the game came out quickly, Xue Tianao shot forty-two wine glasses, and Xiao Wanyao won by a narrow margin of forty-four wine glasses!
Xiao Wanyao looked at Xue Tianao unexpectedly, Xue Tianao could only smile bitterly and shook his head, three rounds of games, one win, one loss and one draw, because there was something to say first, so Xiao Wanyao won.
Tang Siqi asked the eunuch to take the prey to the back kitchen to cook, and then went back to the camp tent to rest, and the others left satisfied, but Xue Tianao did not stay to say a word, but just left with a few noble children talking and laughing. R1154
