"Auntie, this is really a good move."

"Hmph" Old Madam Qi sneered, "It's a good chess, among His Royal Highness the Great Prince, His Royal Highness the Second Prince and His Royal Highness the Third Prince, only His Royal Highness the Second Prince is the most proficient in riding and archery, and this exhibition match, and the sixth child of the Nie family, who has already won the main victory in this hunting conference, cannot participate, this is not clear to give us a chance to fulfill the wish of His Royal Highness the Second Prince." ”

Old Madam Qi and Old Madam Zheng looked coldly at Emperor Zhou Hui and Concubine De on the main stage, their eyes churning with anger.

And now it is not only the Xu family who is angry, but also the virtuous concubine who is sitting on the other side of Emperor Zhou Hui.

"Mother."

But just when Concubine Xian looked at Concubine De and her heart was angry, a soft voice sounded in her ears. Concubine Xian followed the prestige, and saw a palace maid beside Xie Wen come to her side, took the wine jug in the hand of the maid on the side, and was pouring wine for her.

"What's wrong?" Concubine Xian asked in a low voice without changing her face.

"Back to Niangniang's words, His Royal Highness the Third Prince asked, what should I do now."

"Rest easy."

"Yes."

Xie Wen's palace maid quietly left again, but when Emperor Zhou Hui looked over, Concubine Xian still snuggled over with a smile, without a trace of abnormality, but in Concubine Xian's heart, the cold wind was howling early.

"His Royal Highness the Third Prince." The palace maid left Concubine Xian's side, and after a while, she returned to the side of the third prince, Xie Wen.

"What did the concubine say?" The corners of Xie Wen's mouth smiled, and his eyes showed a gentle smile to everyone who toasted him from afar, but only a few people who were very close to him could hear it clearly. There was no warmth in his voice, only full of fierceness.

"His Royal Highness the Third Prince, Concubine Xian said don't be impatient." The palace maid replied in a low voice.

"Rest easy?"

"Yes."

“……”

Xie Wen raised the wine glass in his hand and drank it all. Smiled indifferently. Don't be impatient, don't be impatient, the situation under its realization will not have much impact on him, even if Xu Yourong is really begged by Xie Yan to go, isn't there still a Xu Ming, anyway, these two people are for him. There is no difference. And if Xie Yan thought that as long as he married Xu Yourong, he would be able to drag Jiangzuo's Xu family into his hands, it would be really a fool's dream.

All of them. Because of Concubine De's proposal, they turned the river and the sea in their hearts, but among them, it should belong to the Xu family, not only the old lady Xu Luo is thinking about countermeasures. Let's just say that Xu Youshan is four. is also worried.

But they were worried about their brows, and not far from the bonfire, they began to clear an open space to do the work of the exhibition tournament for a while, but it was still operating in an orderly manner, and after a while, a large area of grass was cleared, fenced, and used as a venue for the exhibition tournament.

"Alright. Now, in addition to the main victory of this hunting conference, Nie Suhyun, the sixth son of the Nie family of Zhenguo Gong. Everyone else can participate, so you're welcome to have a decent game. ”

After Emperor Zhou Huidi's words, all the boys and girls present carnivaled, and finally after Emperor Zhou Huidi's voice began, the boys and girls also rushed to their respective foals that had been brought to start the game.

This exhibition game of mounted archery, in the first three rounds, is based on the one-way elimination system, a group of five people compete, but there is only one red target in front, after three arrows, the red heart on the target is stored to advance to the next round. And this is a bit harsh in the competition system, but under the huge jackpot promised by Emperor Zhou Hui, it was ignored by everyone, but after a while, most of the participants were brushed down by this first round.

In the second round, there are three people, all three of them circle around the red target, a total of three circles, five zhang away from the red target, in these three circles, you can only shoot an arrow once, and those who leave arrows on the bullseye will advance to the final round.

Time passed slowly, and when the two rounds of the game were about to pass, the hour was almost over, but almost everyone was focused on the game, and they didn't notice that it was so late, including Xu Youshan and the four.

"It seems that the second prince and the third prince are going to advance to the next round." Xu Yourong said in a deep voice.

"yes, for sure."

And just when Xu Yourong's life landed, the second prince Xie Yan in the arena got an arrow and had already shot the red heart. In the last group of games, the third prince Xie Wen has already advanced.

"It couldn't be worse." Xu Mingwen looked at Xie Yan, who glanced at them alone, and said coldly.

"No, we still have hope." But Xu Youshan suddenly retorted at this time.

"Yes, Sister Shan is right." Xu Mingxi, who was still looking at Xu Youshan strangely just now, didn't understand what she meant by this, and when she saw a familiar figure riding on a horse and entering the arena, she suddenly smiled clearly.

"Look at it, look at it, it's the prince of Beiding."

"It's the turn of the prince? Wow~~~ So handsome, Shiziye. ”

"The prince, the prince!!"

The rest of Xu Yourong and Xu Mingwen didn't need Xu Youshan and Xu Mingcheng to explain anything, and after suddenly remembering the carnival shouts of the girls in their ears, they knew what was going on: Yes, don't they still have a cousin here.

Jiangzuo Xu family has been handed down with poetry and books in the past dynasties, and it is a famous family of Wenchen, but the Qi family of Beiding Wang is different, that is from the Gaozu period, it has been fighting with Gaozu on the battlefield of the military family, although now it is not like the other two clans - Huanchuan Zhai family and Zhenguo Gong Nie family, there are still children in charge of the army, fighting with foreign tribes in the frontier, but as the only king of the opposite sex today, the identity has long been different from the Huanchuan Zhai family and the Zhenguo Gong Nie family, but in fact, they still grow up on horseback.

And Qi Xuan, even more so.

"Whoosh"

The sound of piercing the wind and cracking gold, when Qi Xuan's arrow was released, flew towards the red target as if it had pierced the air, and also pierced into the bull's-eye squarely, and entered the wood for three points.

"Good !!"

And after Qi Xuan shot this arrow, Xu Youshan and the four of them all shouted excitedly, especially Xu Mingxi. even jumped up and waved to Qi Xuan, happily at a loss.

"Alas, it would be nice if our Xu family also had such a person who is good at riding and shooting. Nor will you fall into such a passive situation. ”

Seeing Xu Ming's excited and joyful dancing appearance, Xu Mingwen muttered in the back.

But before Xu Mingwen finished speaking, Xu Yourong smiled and said, "If you want Chen'er and them to be like this, isn't it a bit difficult for a strong man?" ”

"Uh......" When Xu Mingwen heard this, she imagined the white little face and slender little body of Xu Chen or her little brothers, and she was suddenly speechless for a while. yes, she really can't imagine it. Her gentle brothers became her cousin's cold aura.

"Whoosh."

But just when Xu Youshan and the four of them were too happy, another arrow wind piercing through the golden cracked stone slashed through their eardrums. They stared at the red target with wide eyes. I saw that in addition to Qi Xuan's three-point arrow on the red target, there was now another arrow.

Xu Youshan and the four of them were surprised, and hurriedly turned their heads to look at the owner of the arrow. It was a man of about twenty-five or six years old. The sword eyebrows and starry eyes, the instrument is lofty, and he is dressed in a dark color and wide-sleeved two-gold engraved silk riding suit, which sets off his jade-like face, which is white and cold.

"Who is this?" Xu Mingwen asked curiously.

"I haven't seen it." Xu Youshan said as a matter of course.

Among the four people, Xu Youshan is the most lonely and unheard, although she has been back in Beijing for about four years, compared to the other three. There are still a lot of shortcomings, at least in terms of what I have seen and heard. Xu Youshan is still inferior to them, so this person doesn't even know Xu Mingwen, let alone Xu Youshan.

Therefore, after Xu Mingwen glanced at Xu Youshan with amusement and anger, she looked straight at Xu Yourong and Xu Mingxi.

"This ...... I don't have an impression of this person, Mingxi, what about you? Xu Yourong also shook his head and asked Xu Mingcheng.

"I haven't seen it." And Xu Mingcheng actually shook her head, signaling that she didn't know.

But who is this man?

Xu Youshan and the four of them were curious, in the Shendu, except for Nie Suhyun, Qi Xuan's riding and archery skills were good, so Xu Yourong and they knew it since they were children, but compared to Qi Xuan, this person didn't seem to have the slightest momentum, and it was impossible to be unknown. And looking at his temperament and dress, it is also a child of a big clan, which is even more impossible to be unknown!

Xu Youshan's four people were strange here, and the people around them were also strange, and they were all asking each other who this person was, but no one knew. But although the curiosity was caught high by the man, the game was still going on, and people had to suppress this curiosity for the time being.

The competition continued, and now, all those who can advance to the third and final round have also qualified, among which in addition to the second prince Xie Yan, the third prince Xie Wen and Qi Xuan, the most eye-catching is the man wearing a dark wide-sleeved riding suit.

"The third round, begins."

In the final round of the competition, the format is very simple, all the players who advance are divided into two groups and gallop on the field. At a certain moment, Nie Suhyun, the main winner of the hunting conference, who climbed on the high platform on the side, shot a colored ball on behalf of Emperor Zhou Hui, and whoever shoots first is the winner. The winner of the two groups is competing again, and the final winner is the winner of this mounted archery exhibition competition, which will allow Zhou Huidi to fulfill one of his wishes.

And the two groups of this third round of the competition are determined by drawing, so they will be divided immediately.

The second prince Xie Yan and Qi Xuan were in a group, and the third prince Xie Wen was in a group with the man in the dark wide-sleeved riding suit.

"It's okay now, if you can't escape, it depends on this game." Xu Yourong and Xu Mingwen's expressions became nervous, but what was more nervous than the two of them was actually Xu Mingcheng and Xu Youshan on the side.

"God willing, bless Cousin Xuan to win." Xu Mingcheng is praying.

"Even if Cousin Xuan doesn't win, then don't let His Royal Highness the Second Prince and His Royal Highness the Third Prince win, bless... Bless me. Xu Youshan clasped her hands together.

And looking at Xu Mingyan and Xu Youshan, who were more nervous than them, Xu Yourong and Xu Mingwen were stunned, and actually laughed.

"Come on, don't be nervous, at this time, we can't help it." Xu Yourong said with a smile.

"What you said is easy, how can you not be nervous, really, don't disturb me, I'm still praying to Guanyin Bodhisattva." Xu Mingcheng glanced at Xu Yourong and continued to chatter.

And Xu Youshan ignored Xu Yourong and kept praying.

But no matter what, the third round of the race still started on time, and after the bell rang, everyone in the arena galloped up, and it was impossible to distinguish for a while. At this time, Nie Suhyun, who had already climbed the high platform on the side, had also been prepared, but just now, he had been looking bad, and at this time, looking at the few people galloping in the arena, his eyes were even more obscure.

But no matter whether they are happy or unhappy, under the signal of Emperor Zhou Hui, Nie Suhyun still raised the crescent moon bow in his hand and shot the first colored ball towards the sky.

The crescent moon bow weighs more than a catty, it is a famous bow weapon, and those who can control it have always been people who have become accomplished in riding and archery kung fu, and Nie Suhyun is now just a young son, and he can't be said to be a very great boy.

And it was the colored ball shot by Nie Suhyun with a crescent moon bow, and when it flew along the exact arc, the teenagers in the arena were all staring at it intently, including Xie Yan and Qi Xuan.

And after the colored ball reached the highest point at this time, it slowly fell to the ground, and at this time, Xie Yan and Qi Xuan, who had been tense and looking for the best time, also made a move, but in contrast, Xie Yan was a little faster. But just after Xie Yan shot the arrow, he actually stopped looking in the direction of the colored ball, but glanced sideways at Qi Xuan, with some too determined emotions in his eyes.

But when Xie Yan looked at Qi Xuan, Qi Xuan's expression stiffened slightly, but it was too late, the arrow in his hand had already been shot, but when Qi Xuan's arrow was just shot, the string of the bow in Qi Xuan's hand broke at the same time.

Then this result is self-evident, when several arrows swept through and went towards the colored ball, Xie Yan's arrow with yellow feathers on the tail of the arrow was the first to hit the colored ball. The arrow that originally had a yellow feather on the tail and the other arrow with a red feather on the tail went hand in hand, but it deviated slightly from the track and flew to the other side, it was of course Qi Xuan's arrow with a broken string.

"How so?"

As early as the moment Qi Xuan's bowstring broke, Xu Youshan's four were silent.

"It's despicable."

After a while, Xu Mingxi gritted his teeth and said.

In this competition, all the bows and arrows used by the royal guards were the bows and arrows of the Royal Guard, so it is absolutely impossible to say that they will break in the middle of the arrow; And to say that they broke because they couldn't withstand the force of Qi Xuan's bow pulling, this is also nonsense.

"No, we can't forget it, we have to ask our grandfather and them to go to the saint to ask for an explanation." Xu Mingcheng was about to get up angrily, return to the Qi family of the Beiding Palace, and find Qi Pei, the king of Beiding, and Rui, the princess of Beiding. (To be continued......)
