Falling Dust Chapter 38 Winning the Championship in Archery
Under the referee's order, Wuxuan's archery competition began. I don't know why, but I feel like there are a lot of people today, and it seems that everyone is looking forward to these events.
The primary election is fifty paces and three arrows.
"First round, start!"
Whoosh, one arrow after another was launched in unison, at the first try, Han Hao, Lin Jue, Han Shuling three arrows all hit the bull's-eye, Zhao Yitao two arrows bull's-eye, one arrow two inches from the bull's-eye, Zhou Yaozu one arrow bull's-eye, one arrow two inches from the bull's-eye, one arrow from three inches, it is considered a risk-related promotion.
Only Lin Che was left, and Zhou Yaozu was still taunting him next to him for not daring to shoot out, for fear of missing the target and saying that he was a pig.
I saw Lin Che, grabbed three arrows in one hand, pulled the bow to seven points full, full of aiming and breathing, and then with a "whoosh", the three arrows hit the target, and they hit the bull's-eye.
"Wow!"
The audience erupted in a lot of exclamation. His Majesty the Emperor's slender eyes revealed a hint of a smile.
"Oh, looks like today's game will be a bit interesting!"
At this time, the two voices who saved the iron bull last night began to talk again.
"I bet on Lin Che to win!"
Said in a deep voice.
"Then I'll bet on him to win!"
Another slightly clearer voice said.
"If both bet on him to win, then it's a fart!"
The deep man scolded.
"Otherwise, let's change the gambling method, just bet on whether Lin Che can defeat one of the four guards now!
Said the clear man.
"I don't think he's so hot! I'll bet you!"
The low man agreed.
In the stands, an official couldn't help but admire.
"It's really a tiger father without a dog!"
Yan Shangshu said with some emotion, Lin Jinchi and Han Zhaoyuan stayed in the places where they were assigned to be stationed because they were responsible for guarding the city defense and other important tasks.
Others tell the truth, they want to be close to Lin Jinchi, but they always have a hot face and a cold butt, but they don't think too highly of Lin Che's demeanor today, they just look at it coldly.
There are two places where I have always maintained my calmness, one is the side of the Imperial Inspectorate, who is a mad dog that the ministers of the court are afraid of, and just standing there makes people feel a chill. Xie Chengmou of the Imperial Inspectorate Division and the two black-clothed principals beside him also had an incomprehensible look in their eyes. And the other one is Gao Taishi's side, Gao Taishi's face was calm, and he occasionally felt a little smile on his face, but suddenly it seemed to turn into a chill, which was really incomprehensible.
Seeing Lin Che who fired three arrows at once, Lin Jue was not surprised, he just hoped that he would not lose too badly, and it would be okay to disappoint Miss Manni, he didn't care very much about winning.
Zhao Xilin and Yan Shaoyi outside the field were as excited and looking forward to seeing a meteor.
But this time Han Hao was interested, and Han Shuling was surprised, but it seemed that he quickly calmed down.
Everyone seems to be starting to get the real thing.
Second round: 80 steps, 3 arrows
Whoosh, Lin Jue's three arrows all hit the bull's-eye, and Gao Manni and Mrs. Lin, who were watching on the stage, seemed to be relieved!
Han Hao also hit the bull's-eye with three arrows, Han Shuling is no exception, when he arrived at Zhao Yitao, there was only one left, Zhou Yaozu did not hit the bull's-eye, but fortunately, he did not miss the target and saved face.
Everyone gathered on Lin Che again, only to see Lin Che grab three more arrows, stretch his bow and set up arrows, aim, breathe, and fire arrows. All in one go, three arrows in unison.
At this time, there was an interesting scene on the field, the two brothers of the Lin family played against the two brothers and sisters of the Han family. Lin Jinchi and Han Zhaoyuan are both absent from the task, otherwise these two are estimated to be strong again.
However, at this time, Mrs. Han and Mrs. Lin happened to be sitting together, and the two sisters didn't know what was going on in their hearts at this time, but they were still very kind on the surface.
The third round, one hundred steps, three arrows
It was Lin Jue who took the lead, swishing, three arrows, all hit the bull's-eye. Mrs. Lin breathed a sigh of relief, and then regained her calm demeanor.
Han Shuling continued, and the three arrows that swished also hit the bull's-eye. Mrs. Han sighed and said with a smile that she couldn't care about this daughter, she just wanted to learn martial arts.
Han Hao is also in the middle of the three consecutive in one breath, and Mrs. Han is much more active now.
When he arrived at Lin Che, he grabbed three arrows again, stretched out his bow and set up arrows, aimed, breathed, and fired arrows, and the three arrows hit at the same time.
The people on the field were stunned again, Lu Shiyuan was playing Lin Che with great strength in civil and military affairs, he was really the future of the country and the pillar of the nation.
And Zhou Yaozu really wanted to pump his mouth, and he felt that he had seen defeat. This is the first time that there has been no winner in three rounds.
In the fourth round, you decide the number of steps, not less than one hundred steps, two arrows, which is also the decisive round.
The first person chooses the distance, shoots an arrow, and the person behind shoots the same or better score when the distance is longer. After a round of shooting, there is a loop, which means that each person has a chance to shoot two arrows and get the best result.
Lin Jue was still the first, one hundred and twenty steps, shot the bull's-eye, the audience exclaimed, and Mrs. Lin wiped her sweat.
Han Shuling, one hundred and twenty-five steps, hit the bull's-eye, the audience exclaimed again, and Mrs. Han swallowed her saliva
Han Hao, one hundred and fifty steps, hit the bull's-eye, Mrs. Han gasped relaxedly.
Lin Che chose two hundred steps, and everyone was amazed by this move, he picked up his bow and arrow, and an arrow flew away with a force that broke through the wind, hitting the bull's-eye. The master of ceremonies stuttered as he reported the results.
Xu Tiansheng held the sword in his hand, as if he was looking at and evaluating this amazing young man. The four guards beside His Majesty also seemed to have some emotional ups and downs.
"What kind of kung fu is he?"
Xie Chengmou in the stands asked in a low voice Yao Chong, the principal next to him.
"It's just archery!"
Xie Chengmou showed a strange smile, but it dissipated in an instant.
The second arrow, Lin Jue chose one hundred and fifty steps, hitting the bull's-eye, but according to the meaning, he was tied for second at most, Han Shuling chose one hundred and sixty steps, but missed the bull's-eye, Han Hao clenched the bow and arrow in his hand hard, and finally in the case of some struggle, he chose one hundred and eighty steps, but missed the bull's-eye, he hung his head in annoyance, and Han Shuling was also very sorry.
Lin Che chose two hundred and fifty steps, everyone chose to stand up when they heard this choice, Zhou Yaozu broke out in a cold sweat, Han Shuling, Han Hao, and Lin Jue were also very nervous, I saw him stretch his bow and take the arrow, pull the bow to the limit, aim, adjust the lower angle, breathe, send arrows, and the arrow hit the air and drew a curve in the air, hitting the target two hundred and fifty steps away.
Many people can't see whether they have hit the bullseye or not, and some people scream, but they don't know whether the meaning of this scream is a cry of success or a regret of failure.
"Lin Che, two hundred and fifty steps, hit the bull's-eye!
The audience was boiling, Zhou Yaozu collapsed on the ground, Han Shuling began to be a little dazed, Han Hao and Lin Jue looked at Lin Che with appreciative eyes, Zhao Yitao went crazy, waving the pennant of Kyoto and shouting: "That's my brother! That's my brother!"
Xu Tiansheng lifted the sword up, holding the scabbard with his left hand vigorously, and many of the four guards had light in their eyes, and at the same time, they were more vigilant, because there was a manic murderous aura around the arena!
"Is it the Illusion?"
The deep voice was looking at and reminiscing with interest.
"It's a pity that I can't use my ability to see clearly!"
"It should be just a simple perception, and a subtle control of the bow and arrow, as well as the power!"
A clear voice said.
"This kid, is the bet with you going to lose?"
The deep voice was a little happy and a little disappointing.
At the end of the competition, when the master of ceremonies announced the rankings, the next thing should be to be rewarded, Lin Che, Han Hao, and Lin Jue came to His Majesty in turn under the guidance of the little father-in-law.
"You really didn't disappoint me! Lin Che ......"
His Majesty the Emperor was just about to speak, when suddenly the air became cold and biting, as if at this moment, breathing became difficult, and Lin Che burst into the realm of perception.
"Your Majesty, be careful!"
I saw a figure in black and gray clothes, struck at His Majesty the Emperor with a lightning bolt.
Lin Che flew in front of His Majesty with an instantaneous step on the clouds, like time stagnation or a jump in space, Lin Che twisted his waist in the air, and the mountain-shaking technique struck his right leg towards the man with a devastating momentum.
Seeing this, the man's eyes were full of shock, his hands crossed in front of him, and he met the blow with a bang, and there was a violent vibration and loud noise in front of His Majesty's car, just like the fireworks at the opening of the ceremony.
The man was knocked out of the distance of about ten steps, twisted his body, and landed on the stands, while Lin Che landed on the ground in a position close to kneeling on one knee, but the inside of his knee was only bent in a hundred degrees.
In front of His Majesty, Xu Tiansheng's sword had already penetrated straight into the ground, and his hands were holding the hilt of the sword like a scepter, blocking in front of His Majesty. And the three of them, who were also dressed in black and gray clothes, holding sword-like things of different shapes, pressed against Lin Che's neck and throat.
"There are assassins!"
The venue suddenly became a pot of porridge, everyone thought that the shock just now was an attack on His Majesty at this moment, but the guards were maintaining order and quieting everyone down, and they were not flustered, and the master of ceremonies came out at this time to clarify that it was just the guards who had a secret letter to present to His Majesty as soon as possible, which caused a misunderstanding.
The tension and fear in the arena were relieved. Many people are sighing that this year's summer ceremony is really making people's hearts almost raise their throats.
"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty! I thought I was an assassin, and I was in a hurry to overlook, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive me!"
Lin Che said with a chill in his back, and sighed secretly in his heart, the few people in front of him are really too strong, and there is no space or space for a moment.
His Majesty's slender eyes suddenly flashed with a fierce glare of a predator, but then he waved his hand again.
"Stand down!"
These people came directly to His Majesty's side to protect them.
"Lin Che, you really have an extraordinary hand, you have your father's demeanor!
His Majesty said indifferently.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Lin Che bowed to the ground and thanked him.
Most of the ministers in the distance seemed to have smiles in their eyes, some of them shook their heads, and only a few of them had a cold light in their eyes.
"This emperor is really bad!"
A deep voice said helplessly.
"Yes, but this Xu Tiansheng and the four guards are really strong!"
The clear voice spoke, and some thoughts were in the back of his mind.
"I'm not here to fight with them, and I'm not afraid of fighting, it's just that people suffer less losses!"
The deep voice spoke, and the two also dissipated in the vast sea of people.
"Sixth, what do you think?"
One of the three black-and-gray suits asked about the brother who had just been kicked away.
"Very strong, maybe His Majesty's conjecture is true!"
The man replied, loosening his kicked arm as well.
The person next to Xie Chengmou seemed to be talking to him, turned around and disappeared into the crowd.
After this game, Zhao Yitao rushed over and said that he was going to have a celebration banquet, but Lin Che did not accept this, but left the arena directly, and came to Fucui Pavilion directly with Lin Jue.
Today's Fucui Pavilion is still very lively, but it will definitely be in the back when it is more lively, because a large number of ceremony spectators will definitely come here.
When Aunt Liu saw Lin Che and Lin Jue, she was not as enthusiastic as before, but she was a little frightened and embarrassed.
"Yo, the two Lin Gongzi are here, why are you here so early today, I thought the two of you were still competing in the venue!"
Aunt Liu greeted her and said.
Lin Che looked around, the number of guards in this Fucui Pavilion was obviously a lot more, and they all seemed to be people with good skills, although it was said that the passenger flow of the Fucui Pavilion had also increased a lot because of the ceremony, but according to the previous arrangement, it was enough, and there were three times more people, which still didn't feel very reasonable.
"Aunt Liu, where is Miss Shishi, I have something to look for her!" Lin Che said straight to the point.
Aunt Liu seemed to have guessed his intentions, and said with a smile: "Yo, it's really unfortunate, Miss Shishi has been sick for the past two days, and no one will let her see her!"
When Lin Che heard this, he felt a little weird, but since he didn't see it, it was not possible to break in, so he could only wait and see if there was any other way, maybe try the method that Shopkeeper Sun said first?
Lin Jue and Lin Che didn't stay long in the Fucui Pavilion, since there was no way to meet, then go back to Luoxian Pavilion first and see how Luoxian was doing.
As soon as he went out, he met Zhao Yitao, who had just arrived, this kid was also very anxious, and he was also confused when he saw the two brothers of the Lin family leaving in a hurry.
In Luo Xian Pavilion, Luo Xian hadn't eaten much all day today, and her delicate body seemed to be a little weaker. Lin Che pushed open the door and looked at Luo Xian, who was sitting in front of the window, her eyes still seemed to be frightened, and it made people feel distressed under the light.
Lin Che walked into her, hugged her gently, kissed her forehead, and gently stroked her back with his palm, and neither of them made a sound for a long time.
"How's it going today?"
Luo Xian was the first to open the conversation.
"With the blessings and expectations of the beautiful, generous, gentle and virtuous, cute and moving little fairy, I won the championship without any surprise!"
Lin Che looked at her with a grin, and there seemed to be nothing else in his eyes except Luo Xian.
"Flim Tongue! But you're awesome, and you deserve to be the man I fancied!"
Luo Xian snuggled even tighter in Lin Che's arms.
Lin Che did not continue to speak, but continued to hold her and guard her until dawn.
Maybe it's the cold night that makes people extra awake, Lin Che hasn't slept all night, he sits on the carpet while practicing exercises, and on the other hand, he is emptying his head and thinking.
He remembered the situation in the arena today, and it seemed that there was another master who he couldn't perceive coming to the venue today, what was the purpose of these people, or where they were deep and beside them.
And Your Majesty, Lin Che seems to feel even more incomprehensible, why did he set up these things for himself to be tempted? What is the purpose of the temptation? What kind of calculation does he have for himself?
And the little fairy beside her, what secrets she is carrying, she has always refused to tell it. He absolutely believed in Luo Xian's feelings for him, so he vaguely felt that this matter might be much more complicated than he thought, maybe she was trying to protect herself. And the poetry girl must also be a part of it, and her actions in the past two days seem to prove this.
Suddenly, Lin Che felt as if he was in a place where different whirlpools were intertwined, maybe there were many things and things that he was deep in and didn't know it, in the face of these, he began to be a little nervous, could he really deal with it independently?
