Chapter 131: A Trick to Trap the Enemy
There was still some suspicion in Lizzie's eyes, and even some caution in itβshe didn't want to take a risk on something she couldn't control, because that man was really important to her, and she didn't want to lose to anyone else......
It's just that when Emperor Jing heard Su Ziran say this, Shicai's impatience suddenly dissipated, his eyebrows raised, and he looked at her with interest, thinking that it was just two women's jealousy, but he didn't expect that there were new things.
Facing everyone's inquiring or interested looks, Su Ziran lowered his eyes and smiled, and said loudly: "This game is very simple, called Pitching Pot. β
Pitcher?
Everyone was skeptical.
Unheard!
But when I thought of what this Princess Rui performed on Emperor Jing's birthday, I was not surprised by her strange ideas, but the interest in my heart was even higher.
"Isn't Princess Rui cheating?" Liqisi pursed her lips and glared at her indignantly, her eyes flashing with angry flames, "What a pitcher, I haven't even heard of it!" β
"Isn't it a lie to the Princess's archery competition? Who doesn't know that Persia is located on the frontier, and the princess grew up on horseback, and it is not biased to compare archery with a weak woman like me? Su Ziran glanced at her with a smile, but there was a mocking smile on her lips.
The corners of everyone's mouths twitched.
Isn't Princess Rui talking nonsense with her eyes open--yesterday she shot a black bear, but today she says that she is a weak woman......
However, it was tacit that no one present had exposed it, on the one hand, the Persian princess was an outsider, and they couldn't damage their own face in front of outsiders; On the other hand, they also had a good show-watching mentality, wanting to see what the pitcher in Princess Rui's mouth was!
Jun Luohan's phoenix eyes were lowered, and there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.
Liqisi frowned, and just as she was about to open her mouth to defend herself, Su Ziran laughed again: "Don't worry, princess, this princess will not do such a thing that loses her identity." β
After that, she smiled gracefully, her eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and she was generous.
Liqisi almost didn't mention it in one breath, isn't the "loss of identity" in this woman's mouth talking about herself!
Clenched her fist fiercely, she pursed her lips and said nothing.
Ignoring her sour-wandering gaze, Su Ziran said to the Minghuang figure above: "Father, please allow the courtier-in-law to elaborate on the rules of this pot throwing, so as to prove to Princess Liqisi that the courtier-in-law is not cheating!" β
"Accurate!"
Emperor Jing raised his sleeves and signaled, his sharp eyes revealing a light of interest.
"Pitching a pot, as the name suggests, is to throw arrows into a pot. But this pot also has requirements, the belly is five inches long, the neck is seven inches long, the total height is one foot two inches, and the diameter of the spout is two and a half inches. And this arrow, which is without arrows, is about eight minutes in circumference and two feet eight inches long. The pitcher can shoot from a distance of two and a half arrows. Two wins in three games. β
Su Ziran faced everyone and told the rules of this pot throwing, just to avoid cumbersomeness, he deliberately omitted the different scoring methods of those arrows.
In fact, I think that it is better than this, thanks to her modern shooting teacher - I always like to play with her when I have nothing to do. In the end, the teacher was just a half-ass, but she became a professional.
At this moment, she has half eyelids and half drooping, her eyes are full of serious or happy crystal color, her eyebrows are curved, her pupils are deep, and the corners of her mouth are raised with a rippling arc, and the whole person is full of a dazzling elegance that people can't take their eyes off.
Everyone looked at her quietly, and for a moment they felt that even if the crown princess was so beautiful, she couldn't compare to her at all!
Rong Heng couldn't tell what he felt in his heart, he only knew that he, a "friend", looked different every time he saw it, but no matter what it was, it was like this, so he couldn't take his eyes off and didn't want to take his eyes off.
Even Liss couldn't help but be stunned.
"How, princess?" Su Ziran pursed her lips and smiled, and raised her eyebrows at Li Qisi in the blind corner of everyone's sight.
Liqisi was so provoked by her, all the impulse cells in her bones poured out, the rules of pitching pots are so simple, compared to archery, even if you fight, who loses and who wins is not certain!
With such an idea, Li Qisi raised her chin proudly, turned to Emperor Jing and bowed: "Your Majesty, just do what Princess Rui says!" β
Under the orders of Emperor Jing, the palace people serving on the side quickly took the equipment needed for throwing the pot, and the arrows on the arrow had also been removed.
Su Ziran pointed to an empty pot on the ground and said, "Princess, since you have never touched a pitcher before, you might as well try your craft first." β
Liqisi wanted to say "no", but after thinking about it, this matter was related to her lifelong happiness, and there was no ambiguity at the moment, so she nodded and walked beyond the prescribed number of steps.
The long eyelashes flashed slightly, and her eyes stared at the mouth of the pot for a moment, for a long time, even when everyone couldn't help but sweat for her, she listened to the sound of "bang", and the arrow fell steadily into the pot, and even the moment she entered, she never even touched the edge of the mouth!
Su Ziran was stunned.
This girl is really good, the first time she cast it was so accurate, I think she studied this technique for a long time!
If she hadn't had a trick, she would really have to worry about losing to this girl!
Jun Luohan shook the wine cup in his hand, and the wine spilled, fell on his robe, and was quietly wiped away by him.
"The princess is really talented, she can learn it!" Su Ziran squinted and smiled.
In fact, this is not a ploy to lure the enemy, so that the arrogant Persian princess will definitely agree to the pitcher, right?
Sure enough, after this vote, Liqisi was even more confident, and her chin was almost raised to the sky.
The joy on the face of the King of Persia was vaguely visible, but Emperor Jing was slightly calm, not knowing what he was thinking.
"It's better than this!" With a lot of pride in her delicate female voice, Liqisi believes that after today, she will be able to marry the man she loves!
"The bow and arrow are both available, please shoot ......" Song Lian received Emperor Jing's signaling eyes, and sang a promise in a sharp voice.
In the first game, Su Ziran voted first.
Because she couldn't figure out the details of the other party, she tried her hand first. Although Liqisi just threw in the first shot, no one can say whether it was luck or not, so in the first game, she didn't need to be too sharp, and she only scored nine of the twelve arrows.
After casting, she frowned slightly, and covered her right shoulder blade with her left hand.
In fact, the pain is not the shoulder blade, but the injury on the back, although the pitcher is much simpler than archery, and it doesn't take much effort, but the injury on her back is not moving and painful, not to mention that it is often involved now, after a game, her forehead has been dripping with fine beads of sweat.
When it was Liqisi's turn, Jun Luohan finally put down the wine cup in his hand, and his eyes swept over the white shadow from time to time, a little puzzled, with her competitive character, how could she choose a project that she was not good at to compete?
Is there another trick?
Li Qisi slowly walked to the center, and when she saw Su Ziran's twelve votes and nine hits, her hanging heart fell to the ground.
This woman doesn't seem to be like that!
The corners of her mouth were raised high, and the arrows in her hands were more steady than the other, flying out and falling steadily into the pot. It's just that when it came to the last two, I don't know what happened, and they didn't hit.
Everyone thought that she was deliberate, deliberately only one more than Princess Rui, so as to mock the princess. Only Su Ziran knew that this was a common problem of pot throwers - throwing to the end, not to mention whether or not to concentrate, just staring at something for a long time with his eyes would be unbearable. This problem took her decades of hard training to overcome, and Liqisi, a newcomer, could not be spared.
Second inning.
Su Ziran's face was a little pale, and he endured the pain of the wound on his back, and threw the arrows out one by one.
One, two, three......
Eleven, twelve!
Full house!
Everyone was a little confused.
It turns out that Princess Rui is not bad at throwing pots, but the first game is not obvious and dewy!
Only Jun Luohan noticed the knot slightly twisted between her eyebrows, and her movements were a little unnatural when she reached the end, although it was not particularly obvious, but it was still caught by his sharp eyes, and there was a faint trace of worry in his heart.
Liqisi pursed her lips, her hand holding the arrow was not as easy as Fang Cai, and there was a thick worry all over her body.
Even if she won all twelve in this game, it would only be a tie with the woman in front of her. What's more, in the end, she couldn't ...... at all
As she had just done, she had been hit by ten arrows first, and by the time she reached the eleventh, she couldn't do anything about it.
She's afraid, afraid that she will still be like last time this time, obviously thinking that she has seen it, but it is just so bad!
Gritting her teeth fiercely, she blinked vigorously, trying to focus her eyes on the point at the mouth of the pot, and threw it hard, and the arrow flew out, and everyone looked at it with a sigh of relief.
Spinner, collide, and finally fall in!
Liqisi breathed a sigh of relief, but when she saw the other arrow in her hand, the expression on her face became a little more solemn.
According to the method just now, this time, she finally failed to put the arrow in her hand into the pot.
Stamping her foot indignantly, she stared at the arrow on the ground with some frustration, her eyes darkened.
There is only one game left, and if she still loses, what should she do?
The king of Persia frowned, looked at Liqisi's depressed appearance, and proposed: "Your Majesty, it's getting late today, why don't you leave the one and wait for tomorrow?" β
The corners of Su Ziran's mouth twitched twice, the sun is still shining in the sky, and it is a bit technical to open your eyes and talk nonsense!
Emperor Jing naturally would not refuse, if he didn't agree to this request, how could he show his demeanor as a saint of the Heavenly Que Dynasty?
He nodded lightly to the King of Persia and said, "That's fine." β
Jun Luohan breathed a sigh of relief, even if the king of Persia didn't say it, he would propose that the rest of the game be compared tomorrow, because that woman clearly couldn't stand it but still had to hold on, I'm afraid the wound has been cracked......
