Chapter Thirty-Seven: The Archery Contest Shows Its Glory

The competition between the three countries is not only about winning or losing, but also about the talent strength of each country.

In the royal school field, Feng Wushigao sat in the stands, and the queen and the young concubine sat on both sides, looking at the people sitting in the audience with a light smile.

"It's a pity that Dachang is a rare event, but the prince can't participate in the palace."

Concubine Nian sneered, deliberately reached out and stroked the Zhu Hai on her head, that was one of the birthday gifts sent by the five princes of Nanyi, the emperor remembered that Feng Guifang had made a contribution in preparing the birthday banquet, so he rewarded her.

The queen glanced at it indifferently and sneered: "This Zhu Hai is very suitable for her sister, just as flashy." ”

Concubine Nian's face changed slightly, she glanced at the emperor who had no intention of being here, squinted her eyes and snorted: "Outsiders often praise my sister for showing off her wisdom, but I didn't expect the son who was taught to be alas. ”

The queen was told that it was painful, her body shook suddenly, and Yue Jin on the side quickly supported her with her eyes, and asked in her ear with worry: "Niangniang, how are you?" ”

"It doesn't matter".

The queen closed her eyes and sat upright.

Seeing this, the young concubine became more and more proud, chuckled twice and hooked her lips and said, "Sister is not feeling well?" If you are inconvenient, go back to the palace to rest, the emperor still has his sister here. ”

"If you don't bother your sister, this palace will be fine."

The queen looked at her coldly, the envoys of the two countries were here, and they wanted to replace her, the queen, with a sense of whim.

Feng Wushi seemed to have just heard the two of them talking, and seemed to have been a quiet bystander, seeing that the anger on the queen's face was getting stronger and stronger, he said to Concubine Nian in a deep voice: "Lian Qingcheng, the mastermind of the prince's case, has been caught, what else is there to discuss, so many envoys are here, what kind of system." ”

Seeing that the emperor was displeased, the young concubine suddenly lost a sarcastic smile on her face, and hurriedly lowered her eyebrows and said: "The concubine is talkative, ask the emperor for forgiveness." ”

"Let's watch the race, last time in the school horse race, I lost to Lian Qingcheng, I see if he will lose the royal face today."

Hearing the name of "Lian Qingcheng", the faces of the queen and the young concubine were rarely the same, one of her sons was framed by her, and he was still imprisoned in the deep palace at the moment and could not travel, and the other beloved son was defeated by his subordinates, and a game was laughed at to this day.

The ancients competed in nothing more than civil and military, and today's competition is martial arts, Nanyi sent the five princes Long Feibai, the Northern Desert is the Minister of Military Aircraft Du Liankang, and Dachang is the phoenix flawed.

Wuzhong is divided into riding, archery, and boxing, and in the first race of horses, the three of them can be said to capture the flag at the same time, regardless of up and down.

Seeing Lian Chucheng's father and son sitting calmly below to watch the game, the queen thought of her son, and the resentment in her heart became more and more difficult to settle, seeing that Long Feibai and Du Liankang had a calm and confident look on their faces, a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, and she looked at the emperor and deliberately raised her voice and said: "Your Majesty, the last time the flawed king and the third prince of Lian lost the competition, but this time he reached a draw with the fifth prince and Lord Du, I don't know what the result will be when the third prince competes with them?" ”

"The queen is too worried, even the third prince just outwitted and won the flawed king last time, how dare he get an axe in front of the fifth prince and Lord Du, not to mention, he is a repeat offender now."

Feng Wushi looked at the people below expressionlessly, looking displeased, but he was sneering in his heart.

When Feng Guiyi heard the word "repeat offender", his raccoon eyes narrowed tightly, and he paused for a moment, as if he understood the meaning of the emperor's words, and pursed his lips and smiled casually.

"Oh? Did the King of Defects lose to someone else in the last horse race? This prince is interested in competing with him, and I don't know if the emperor can fulfill his request in vain. ”

Long Feibai bent his peach eyes and looked at Feng Wushi, although his words were polite, but with a meaning that could not be refused.

Du Liankang also laughed loudly: "I have had several intersections with Prince Lian, and his son, I also want to see what he is capable of." ”

Feng Wushi frowned, and said that "It's just that the third prince is still in prison now, and I said that I would give an explanation to the prime minister, and I boldly released people, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to convince the public." ”

"Father, it's just a competition, the ministers think, for the sake of Dachang's face, the ministers won't mind, right, Prime Minister?"

Feng Guixie spoke softly and looked at Liu Muxian sideways.

Liu Muxian was depressed, and he clenched his fists for a while and said in a deep voice: "Yes, please also ask the emperor to think about the overall situation and let the third prince come out to compare with the fifth prince and Lord Du." ”

"Gao Gonggong, lead people".

Feng Wushi instructed the father-in-law Gao behind him, and glanced at Liu Muxian secretly.

Feng Guixie saw that figure from a distance, and used all his strength to suppress the urge to rush up from the bones, thinking so much, he hugged her tightly now.

He hadn't seen her for two days and two nights, and although her clothes were stained with some gray stains, her face was as white as ever, but she had lost a lot of weight.

The "clanging" sound of the shackles on the ground that were locked on her feet made him feel distressed when he heard it.

When Lian Qingcheng saw him, he pursed his lips and smiled in a good mood, patted the dirty things on his body, and his face was light and light.

The person in prison is not like him.

Long Feibai looked at those clear eyes and secretly thought, such a person, he really couldn't figure out why that person had to put so much effort to kill him.

"The grass people are even Qingcheng, see the emperor".

"You are very knowledgeable, you have only been in prison for two days, and you are no longer a courtier, so let's get even."

Feng Wushi sneered and ordered someone to remove the shackles from her hands and feet.

Lian Qingcheng unloaded a heavy object, moved his muscles and bones, and grinned: "The grass people don't dare to exceed the rules, and they should naturally be punished if they make mistakes." ”

"Hmph, you have the honor to compete with the Five Princes and Lord Du this time, if you win, I will be exempted from your crime, if you lose, the crime will be increased by one degree, and the sentence will be reversed."

When Lian Qingcheng heard this, he couldn't help but scream bitterly, last night the emperor promised her to come out, but he didn't say that he wanted to compete with the envoys of these two countries, these five princes are not easy to deal with at first glance, as for this Lord Du

"Your Majesty, the minister is just a reckless child, and it is too difficult to compete with two envoys, how about the minister only compare with one of them?"

Long Feibai couldn't help laughing when he heard this, and dared to bargain with the emperor, this even Qingcheng was really different.

"Your Majesty, I heard that Gongzi Lian once praised Kyoto with a painting, today, you might as well let him compare with Lord Du first, and try his literary talents tomorrow, and this prince will compete with him again."

Hearing this, Feng Wushi looked at Lian Qingcheng's expression of ambition, and said in a deep voice: "Since the fifth prince has withdrawn from the competition, then Lian Qingcheng and Lord Du will compare." ”

Indifferently look at the reputation, success or failure is at ease.

Lian Qingcheng turned to look at Du Liankang and asked with a smile: "Lord Du, what are we comparing in this scene?" ”

"Archery".

Du Liankang's eyes were calm, and his tone had the toughness of a military general.

"In this way, the juniors are not good at archery, how about a different way to compete?"

Lian Qingcheng looked at him sincerely, and heard that Beimo is a nation living on horseback, everyone is good at riding and shooting, not to mention that Du Liankang is also the Minister of Military Aircraft, and his archery skills must be more exquisite than others, whether her life can survive or not is all in this competition, if she doesn't rely on outwitting, I'm afraid she can only wear shackles and go back to prison.

Du Liankang felt a little fond of this young man who was not as good as the weak crown, and asked with a smile in his eyes: "How do you want to compare the third son?" ”

"You and I both shoot an arrow at each other at the same time, and whoever can shoot the right person wins."

"No!"

As soon as Lian Qingcheng finished speaking, Feng Wushi stopped in a deep voice, the sword and arrow had no eyes, if something happened to Du Liankang, how could he explain to the Northern Desert, Lian Qingcheng's courage was too big.

"Cheng'er, Master Du is one of the best archery masters, such a competition, you will not be able to save your life, not comparable."

Lian Qingliu couldn't help but stand up and comfort, she replied with a reassuring look, looked at Du Liankang's expression, saw that he had no intention of refusing, bowed to the emperor and said: "Your Majesty, since Lord Du has agreed to compete with the minister, he naturally expected the result, not to mention that Lord Du has superb archery skills, and the person who loses may be a minister." ”

"This"

Feng Wushi frowned, as if he was still hesitating, Du Liankang pondered for a moment, pursed his lips and smiled: "Lord Ben agrees."

Lian Qingcheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, turned her head and saw Feng Guixie looking at her with a worried face, but the raccoon eyes were full of trust, she nodded and smiled, and walked to the school with Du Liankang.

The two men were thirty paces apart, and shooting arrows at close range was more likely to cause serious injuries.

The soldier took the bow and arrow for the two of them, wound them, and Lian Qingcheng and Du Liankang pulled the bow away at the same time.

The target in front of him was replaced by a person, Du Liankang was in a trance for a moment, and even Qingcheng stood quietly in front of him, but the fierceness in his eyes made him frightened, it was a color he had never seen before, like from hell, full of killing and bloodthirsty atmosphere, how could a young man who had no experience in the world have such a terrifying look.

With a "bang", the arrow in his hand didn't shoot out tightly, and landed straight in front of Lian Qingcheng's feet.

Seeing this, Feng Gui Xie breathed a sigh of relief slightly, and his eyes were firmly fixed on her hand.

Lian Qingcheng hooked his lips and smiled, slowly closed his eyes, and the tip of the arrow was aimed at Du Liankang's eyebrows.

The surrounding ministers were shocked when they saw this, these three sons really wanted to kill Master Du!

The sharp arrow was off the string, and even the sound of the wind seemed to become harsh, Du Liankang stared at the cold arrow that was shooting at him, held it with both hands, and turned sideways to stand aside.

The arrow went off the rails, and the sharp arrow went straight into the place where he was standing two paces away, and the body of the arrow was buried three inches deep in the earth.

"The third son won".

Du Liankang smiled bitterly, willing to gamble and lose.

Lian Qingcheng threw the bow in his hand to the soldiers standing aside, and laughed loudly: "Promise."

"Haha, this competition is really exciting!"

Feng Wushi clapped his hands and laughed, and the two parties were unharmed, so he naturally complied with his wishes.

Feng Guixie walked over and stood beside her as if no one was around, and laughed in a low voice: "Cheng'er Fangcai, it really scared me." ”

"I thought you were going to say you're happy with my watch."

She blinked, looking at her innocently.

Feng Gui shook his head with his eyes, "Dissatisfied, very dissatisfied."

"Why?"

"In the future, you are not allowed to have that kind of look again, my woman, you don't need to kill."

He looked serious, and her talented look not only frightened Du Liankang, but also shocked the people around him, such a look in her eyes was too unreassuring.
