The terrible scream frightened a group of people, this cry came out of the mouth of the person who relied on the water, he saw Sunuer's arrow aimed at him, he originally wanted to avoid it, but found that the arrow was unavoidable, and he felt that no matter which direction he flashed, the arrow could hit him, so he was so frightened that he closed his eyes and let out a woman-like scream.

Sunuer didn't look at the screaming person, the life and death of the irrelevant person had nothing to do with him anyway, he was more concerned about whether Di Qing would save that person, and how he would dodge another arrow after he was saved. It was Sunuer's eyes that stared at the trajectory of his two arrows for a moment.

At the same time that Sunuer shot the two arrows, Di Qing's two arrows also released one after the other, only to see the former arrow fly forward, and when it was about to reach the person's side, the latter arrow also caught up and hit the tail of the previous arrow, making the front arrow speed up after taking advantage of the momentum, and met Sunuer's arrow to the person, and after the two arrows collided, there was a "click" sound, and it landed three inches in front of the person at the same time.

After the man closed his eyes and screamed, he didn't feel pain, he hurriedly opened his eyes to see, and happened to see two arrows hit one place, and almost landed in front of his feet, only to know that someone behind him had saved him, so he breathed a long sigh of relief, patted his chest, and secretly exclaimed luck, knowing that he was not here to die.

The latter arrow shot by Di Qing was castrated after hitting the front arrow, and shot towards Sunur's horse.

Seeing that Di Qing's two arrows were shot so skillfully, Sunuer couldn't help but applaud secretly, shook the horse's reins with one hand, and urged the horse to jump forward, which was able to avoid the arrow.

Seeing Sunuer's arrow shooting towards him like lightning, Di Qing also moved, but this time he neither dodged nor copied the arrow with his hand, but swung the bow in his hand out, and the arrow was caught by the bow, Di Qing's hands moved quickly a few times, and the direction of the arrow that was originally shot at him immediately changed. Di Qing pulled the bowstring with his hand, shot Sunuer at himself, and aimed the arrow at Sunuer's chest.

After the horse jumped down, Sunuer raised his eyes to look at Di Qing, but saw a cold arrow aimed at him, his pupils shrank, looking at the arrow and the person on the horse, quietly waiting for the arrow to come.

After the two looked at each other for a moment, Di Qing laughed, lowered his hand to collect his bow, put the arrow into the quiver, hugged Sunuer from afar, and then slapped the horse close to the side of the person who was wearing water, and with a lift of his hand, the man was carried on the horse and placed on the horse's back.

Sunuer also brought the horse to Di Qing's side, returned the salute on the horse, and said loudly, "My party Xiang Erlang has always had clear grievances, and today Di Zhuangshi accepted the favor, and he will definitely repay Su Mou." ”

Di Qing waved his hand, smiled brightly, and said, "General Su is polite, Di admires the general's riding and archery skills, and he doesn't want to win this competition by tricks." ”

Su Nuer said, "Su Mou has seen the cavalry and archery of the Great Song Dynasty Forbidden Army today, and he is really amazing, especially Di Zhuangshi's kung fu of receiving arrows with his hands, and I really admire it." ”

Di Qing slowly spread out his palm, the palm was covered with calluses, which was obviously caused by the daily practice of bow horses, but at this time the palm was red, if it weren't for Di Qing's strong will, I was afraid that this palm would not be able to hold the reins of the horse, he said, "This palm is caused by the general's arrow, if you take a few more arrows, Di Mou's hand is afraid that it will not be able to keep it." ”

Sunur Ha Lu Ha Da smiled, the previous depression was scattered, he and Di Qing glanced at each other, and suddenly felt pity for each other, the two looked at each other on the horse and smiled, and urged the horse to run towards the place where the banquet was shot.

The man who was placed on horseback like a broken pocket shouted, "Thank you for saving me today, I don't know the hero's name?" and he who is younger will repay the kindness. ”

Di Qing, who was trotting on his horse, was stunned for a moment, and said funny, "In Xia Di Qing, if he doesn't let me see you in the future, it will be the greatest reward for me." ”

At this time, after seeing Sunuer and Di Qing returning with horses, Zhao Zhen looked the two up and down, and saw that the two of them were clean and clean, without any silver powder, so he turned sideways and smiled at Li Yuanhao and said, "Prince Xia, how is the tie this time?" ”

Li Yuanhao knew that Sunuer was a little inferior, but since Da Song gave face like this, how could he not get off the donkey down the slope? He also forced a smile and said, "But it depends on the emperor's ruling." ”

Zhao Zhen pointed to the person who was placed on the ground and asked, "Who is this?" ”

When the man listened to the answers, he knew that it was the emperor who was asking, so he knelt down and said, "See the emperor, the little one has something important to say." After saying that, he shook Suo Suo to remove the water from his body, took out a letter wrapped in an oilcloth from his bosom, and raised his hands above his head.

Yan Wenying, the emperor's attendant, stepped forward to take the oilcloth bag, but did not open it, so he waved his hand and ordered someone to escort him back to the palace for questioning.

Zhao Zhen rewarded the winner of this banquet with a royal horse and a golden saddle, and when he arrived at Di Qing, Zhao Zhen paused and asked, "Di Qing, although you are tied with General Xia Guosu, I am very satisfied with your performance, I don't know what you want, but it doesn't matter." ”

Di Qing replied, "Back to the emperor, my little selfishness hopes to enter the classes in front of the palace and continue to contribute to the emperor." "The so-called classes in front of the palace are the emperor's guard horses.

Zhao Zhen smiled and said, "As you wish." ”

A banquet came to an end in perfect posture at this time, and just after noon, a group of people returned to the imperial city in a majestic manner.

It was getting late, the lights were still on in the Shouchang Pavilion of the Imperial Study, the two people in the pavilion sat opposite each other, one put down the letter he had just read, looked up and said, "The night has come to Bianliang, and the letter asks the official family to help him return to the country, what does Brother Zhen think?" ”

Zhao Zhen said, "How easy is it to restore the Uighurs? If you want me to help him, just see what chips he can come up with to help me. Then he smiled again, "The way to deliver the letter this night is chic, the person who sent the letter was fortunate to meet Di Qing and saved him, otherwise how could this letter be delivered?" ”

Zhao Xian also praised, "In today's competition, Di Qing first showed weakness to lure the enemy deeper, and then provoked Sunuer to make him mess up. It was obviously possible to win, but it ended in a draw, and I know your mind very well Brother Zhen, which not only gave Xia Guo face, but also made friends with the help of Sunuer; It also made Xia Guo dare not underestimate my Da Song again. This person has scheming and martial arts, and he is really a talent. ”

"However, Brother Zhen, how do you know that Di Qing won't lose?" Zhao Xian asked.

Zhao Zhen smiled incomprehensibly, "If I didn't know in advance what the guards were good at, how could I dare to let Di Qingbi ride and shoot without hesitation?" ”

Zhao Xian knew Di Qing in advance, so she didn't doubt his ability, but Zhao Zhen didn't move, and understood all the situation of his subordinates, such as Xu Bingwei, and considered it step by step, but how much thought did it take? She raised her head and looked at Zhao Zhen, only to see that his eyes were slightly blue, and she knew that Zhao Zhen must have stayed up late for many days, and she couldn't help but be worried and anxious.

Zhao Zhen was moved, patted her head with a smile, and said, "Don't think about it so much, since you are the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, how can you not pay the appropriate price?" ”

Zhao Xian hurriedly cheered up and smiled, "Brother Zhen values Di Qing so much, why don't you ......?" ”

Zhao Zhen shook his head and said, "That's what I mean." Then he clapped his hands, and Yan Wenying shouted outside, "Xuan Diqing." ”

Zhao Xian unexpectedly got up and hid behind the curtain in the pavilion, and Di Qing had already entered the study.

It's still the one who rides the royal horse straight, and he is not complacent because he has been appreciated by the emperor. Zhao Zhen nodded and asked, "Di Qing, I ask you, do you really just want to be a loose straight in the front of the palace?" Are you willing to make contributions and glorify your ancestors? ”

Di Qing thought for a while, his face was solemn, and he said, "Back to the emperor, the little one's ambition is to be able to fight on the battlefield and defend the country. ”

Zhao Zhen asked, "Then would you like to go to the northwest to help the Uighurs recover?" Are you willing to garrison the Song-Xia border for my Great Song Dynasty to defend against this Western Xia? ”

Di Qing's face was happy, and he said loudly, "The little one is loved by the emperor, and he should be smeared with his liver and brain." ”

Zhao Zhen asked again, "The northwest is located in the bitter cold, and it is common to sleep in the open air, and it is common for you to skip three meals, do you have to think about it carefully?" ”

Di Qing Zhengse replied, "The little one was originally born in poverty, and he came to Bianliang because he committed crimes in his hometown, and he was fortunate enough to enter the forbidden army, so he was not afraid of hardship." ”

Zhao Zhen handed over the two books on the imperial desk to Di Qing, and said earnestly, "This is the book "Divine Marksmanship" written by Wang Deyong, I give it to you, I hope you can go further in archery; This is another book of "The Art of War", you have to study it well, I have high hopes for you. ”

Di Qing took a step forward and bowed his head, and said in a trembling voice, "Thank you, Your Majesty, the little one is willing to repay the king's kindness with his own body." ”

The night light shone on Di Qing's face, but it looked so resolute.
