Chapter 15 No Surprises
Looking at the beam of arrows on Shen Zhiyou's arrow target that neatly pierced into the bull's-eye, Shen Zhiyou's hand holding the longbow trembled slightly.
Ten arrows, each of which hit the bull's-eye, how did Shen Zhiyou do it?!
Among these people present, I am afraid that there are no more than five people who can do this.
Thinking of the bet between them, a cold sweat suddenly broke out in Shen Qianxi's palm.
She can't just throw in the towel, or she'll lose face.
Shen Qianxi bit her lower lip and raised the longbow in her hand tremblingly.
Normally, the distance of 100 meters from the target is nothing to her, but this time, Shen Zhiyou feels that the distance is particularly far away.
I can't aim accurately, I can't aim at all, the bullseye is too small!
Shen Qianxi's heart was pounding, she knew that even if she practiced archery without pressure, it would be difficult for her to hit the bull's-eye more than three times in a row, and this time, the pressure of the competition was so huge, her chances of success were even smaller.
In a trance, Shen Qianxi only felt a loosening of her hand, and she shot the first arrow.
"Smack!" the arrow landed on the target, still some distance from the bull's-eye.
It's okay, calm, and the moving target, as long as the total score in the first link is not far from Shen Zhiyou, she still has hope of turning defeat into victory.
Shen Qianxi puffed himself up, but he really didn't have any bottom in his heart.
"Smack!" the second arrow was fired, and the arrow was farther away from the bull's-eye.
Shen Qianxi's heart sank, and a trace of panic crossed his eyes.
Immediately after that, there was the third, fourth, and fifth......
When Shen Qianxi shot the tenth arrow, the arrow was crooked, and it directly missed the target, and slanted into the ground next to the arrow target.
Shen Qianxi's head suddenly went blank.
"Woo woo......" Shen Qianxi shook the longbow, covered his face and cried.
It's over, she's really finished, the score in the first link is so far from Shen Zhiyou, how can she chase in the second link?! unless Shen Zhiyou doesn't know how to play the moving target at all.
Just, is this possible?
Shen Qianxi regretted Mo Di in her heart, she should have thought that Shen Zhiyou could agree to her gambling contract so calmly, she must have enough confidence to do so.
It's just that she is too conceited, she didn't expect Shen Zhiyou's archery skills to be so powerful.
There is also the moving target, can she really win against Shen Zhiyou? Shen Qianxi is not sure at all.
"Hey, it seems that your fiancée is pretty good, and she actually got a perfect score in the first link. The second prince bumped Xuanyuan Chang with his elbow and said.
"Oh, I don't know where I learned the carving insect skills. Xuanyuan Chang sneered, "Also, she is not my fiancée, and there has been no engagement between us for a long time, so you better always remember this." ”
"Okay, okay, my bad. The second prince raised his hand and made a gesture of "surrender".
"Don't blame me for not reminding you, if you don't want to be too embarrassed, it's best to show your best state in archery later, otherwise, a dignified prince, archery is not as good as a waste of the Prime Minister's house, then it will be a shame and a big loss." Xuanyuan Chang glanced at him and said coldly.
"That's right, but what are the ten arrows and ten rings...... That's not that easy. ”
The second prince said with a bitter face.
Facts have proved that this is also the case, after the end of the first link, only five people achieved full scores, and the second prince Xuanyuan Jun was not among them.
However, it was nothing to him, he had never had any ambitions, and he never thought that he would have to come out on top.
Xuanyuan Chang is different, he is one of the most popular candidates for the position of future prince, and he has always strived to be the first in this kind of competition that can prove his ability and strength.
Although Shen Zhiyou's performance in the first link was amazing, he didn't take Shen Zhiyou seriously.
In Xuanyuan Chang's opinion, in this competition, his biggest competitor is still the queen's sister-in-law, his sixth brother, Xuanyuan Qi.
At the beginning of the second link, Xuanyuan Chang secretly glanced at Xuanyuan Qi, and his eyes lit up with fierce battle intent.
The second part of the competition is to move the target.
The moving target, as the name suggests, is moving, and the difficulty is a notch higher than that of a fixed target.
I don't know if it was stimulated by the performance of Shen Zhiyou, a "waste", in the first link, most of the people in the field performed very well today, and some even surpassed their usual highest level, which surprised them.
Of course, the most amazing thing for everyone was the sixth prince and the third prince, one of them shot seven times in the bull's-eye and the other shot eight times in the bull's-eye.
That's a moving target! It's great to be able to hit the bull's-eye three times, not to mention seven and eight times!
If there is no accident, the top spot this time must have been taken by the third prince Xuanyuan Chang, right?
Everyone couldn't help but think, and the eyes cast at Xuanyuan Chang were also full of admiration.
Xuanyuan Chang hooked the corners of his lips, raised his chin slightly, and walked down with a proud expression. When passing through Xuanyuan Qi, he spit out four words word by word: "Hand, down, defeat, general." ”
Xuanyuan Qi tightened.
All this did not disturb Shen Zhiyou, she was like a winter lotus waiting to open, quietly watching the wind and clouds in the field.
By the time Shen Zhiyou came on the scene, not many people had noticed her, and many ministers were busy running to say hello to the third prince.
Of course, there is still one person who has not forgotten her existence, that is, Shen Qianxi, who made a bet with her.
Shen Qianxi gritted her teeth and stared at Shen Zhiyou, wishing that Shen Zhiyou's arrow was off target, and it was best to get a zero point back!
In this way, she has the possibility of counterattacking.
Shen Zhiyou picked up the longbow, her expression calm and relaxed.
The target in front of him was moving in a chaotic manner, and Shen Zhiyu slowly and half-narrowed his eyes.
"Smack", an arrow.
"Smack", two arrows.
"Smack", three arrows......
The regular and rhythmic sound of hitting the target attracted the attention of some people, and when they casually turned their heads and saw the arrows on the moving target, their eyes suddenly widened wider than the brass bell!
"Quick, look, Shen Zhiyou!"
They patted their companions around them to get their attention.
Following the Third Princes and the Sixth Princes, the crowd boiled again!
Fourth, fifth, sixth......
They all followed the sound of the target, silently counting the number of times Shen Zhiyou hit the bull's-eye.
Six arrows, not a single arrow fell, all hit the bull's-eye!
In the seventh arrow, Shen Zhiyou's score was about to surpass that of the Six Princes.
In the eighth arrow, Shen Zhiyou's total score has already tied with the three princes.
Ninth Arrow...... Everyone couldn't help but hold their breath.
"Smack", the arrow still landed firmly on the bull's-eye.
The crowd was silent.
They didn't expect that Shen Zhiyou would surpass the Third Prince and the Sixth Prince in one fell swoop, and become the person who ranked first in the overall score.
Someone quietly glanced at the third prince, and sure enough, Xuanyuan Chang's face was about to turn purple.
As soon as he shouted that he wanted to withdraw from the marriage, he was slapped in the face with his strength, and the third prince was really disadvantaged.
He silently bowed to Xuanyuan Chang with a tear of sympathy.
Ignoring Xuanyuan Chang's murderous gaze, Shen Zhiyou raised her longbow and pulled away her last arrow.
Nima, you still want to come?!Shen Zhiyou must be the first this time, she still wants to?!
What does she want to do, does she want to go against the sky?!
Surprise is no longer enough to describe the inner feelings of these people, they directly exploded in their hearts.
Shen Zhiyou hooked the corners of her lips, and her eyes were quiet.
Of course she has to shoot, and since she wants to win, she has to win the most glorious!
Shen Zhiyou's last arrow suddenly broke away from the longbow and flew straight towards the bullseye in the distance.
Everyone opened their mouths wide, they felt that they could already foresee the result of Shen Zhiyou's ten rings.
At this moment, ten arrows suddenly burst out from behind Shen Zhiyou, and shot towards the moving arrow target in front of them with a devastating momentum!
"Bang, bang, bang......"
As if it was just a blink of an eye, these ten arrows pierced through the sky and slammed into the target.
Ten arrows in unison, ten bullseyes!
Even Shen Zhiyou's last arrow was smashed into powder by its menacing momentum.
Shen Zhiyou: "......"
Onlookers: "......"
The corners of Shen Zhiyou's mouth twitched, and she turned away, wanting to see who was so sharp.
She met a pair of inky eyes.
The Seventh Prince, Xuanyuan Mo, sat in a wheelchair, slowly put down the longbow in his hand, and smiled at her gently.
Dressed in white, elegant and calm, handsome and beautiful, he is a beautiful son.
Shen Zhiyou: ......
It turns out that this is the most hidden person.
