The palace is brightly lit and full of music.

The singers of the Teaching Workshop Division are graceful, and the small waists loom between the light dances of the tulle, and the heads of the people watching are congested.

Hundreds of civil and military officials, royal relatives and nobles pushed cups and changed lamps, talked and laughed very lively.

Then at this time, Wei Ran ran out and said that I was not convinced, and I wanted to compete with Wu Zhuangyuan again.

The first thought in the minds of the old fritters is that this guy can't be a man.

Wu Zhuangyuan was appointed by the emperor, and you ran to say that you were not convinced at this time, doesn't that mean that the emperor ordered it wrong?

The emperor's expression remained unchanged, and he calmly asked, "What are you dissatisfied with?" ”

Wei Ran bowed his head and saluted, "Weichen has practiced archery since he was a child, and he thinks that he is outstanding in archery. When I was competing in arrows on the school field today, I didn't show my full strength because I was not familiar with the bow and horse. Wechen begged His Majesty to allow another round of archery with Wu Zhuangyuan. ”

The emperor's gaze looked at Wang Xiao, "What do you think?" ”

Wang Xiao put down the wine glass in his hand, got up and saluted, "Weichen has no opinion, Your Majesty will do whatever he wants." ”

The Emperor smiled, "In that case, then you should try it here." ”

Wang Xiao stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty." Since Wei Ran said that his archery skills are good, it is not interesting to shoot the target. ”

"How do you want to compare?"

"Weichen doesn't remember which book I read it, in the former Tang Dynasty, there were condor archers on the grassland competing with Tang sharpshooters in Chang'an City. They were not shooting at the target, but at the head of the candle. ”

"I remember shooting incense, right?" Someone immediately spoke up below, and it seems that there are really many people who know this story.

"It doesn't matter." The emperor also came to be interested, "In that case, you will try to shoot the candle head." ”

The dancers of the Sect Division retreated, and many of the inner supervisors quickly placed long tables in the square in front of the main hall and lit candles on them in turn.

"Since you said that you are not used to using bows and horses during the competition, then use your own this time."

There were palace guards who went to Wei Ran's residence to bring all his bows, arrows and horses, and everything under the imperial power was very fast.

The emperor asked Wang Xiao, "Do you want to change?" ”

Wang Xiao waved his hand confidently: "I can use anything." ”

The emperor was very satisfied with this, and specially told the inner eunuch to prepare a good horse and a good bow for him.

Although the Great Zhou Dynasty is also prosperous in literary style, as soon as I saw the gossip of emulating the ancients in front of the emperor and watching the excitement, I immediately left the angry singers of the Jiaofang Division behind, and one or two of them were like the people eating melons and waiting to see the excitement.

"Lord Zheng, don't you say that martial artists are vulgar all day long and disdain to be in company? What are you squeezing here? ”

"Fart! When did the old man say such a thing. In front of many colleagues, you dare to frame me? The old man fought with you! ”

Before the arrow competition began, the onlookers were the first to make a commotion.

When everyone separated them, Master Zheng, who had received a few punches in the face, was still chattering, "Archery is one of the six arts of a gentleman, and the old man's observation of arrows is to uphold the ancient style." ”

Someone on the side muttered, "Just watch the excitement, just watch the excitement, you have to pull an ancient person out of everything." One day, the ancients really jumped out of the coffin board and scared you to death! ”

A person on the first place of the royal family is wearing a python robe with slender eyebrows and eyes. This is the emperor's own brother, the trusted King Zhongshun.

Looking at Wang Xiao, who was standing at the foot of the Dan step to test the strength of the bow, King Zhongshun was puzzled.

Wasn't this guy a waste who liked to hook up with other people's wives in the past? This special lady went to Yangzhou and came back, how did it seem like a different person.

King Zhongshun knew how to figure out the emperor's thoughts, and it was because of this that he could become the emperor's confidant.

Although the emperor had no expression on his face, King Zhongshun knew that the emperor was very satisfied with Wang Xiao.

"Your Majesty."

King Zhongshun leaned over and said, "It's such a big matter today, why didn't the people of the Jia family come?" ”

The emperor turned his head to look at him, knowing that this was King Zhongshun giving eye medicine to the Jia family.

The appointed Wu Zhuangyuan also held such a grand celebration party. None of the people from the Jia family came. To put it mildly, this is not to give face to the emperor.

The people of the Jia family really don't understand these connotations, they are simply rejecting Wang Xiao.

Mother Jia and the others are still preparing to find a way to come to the palace to complain, so as to deprive Wang Xiao of his title and transfer it to Dabao Face.

As for the various connotations of the connotation, what does not give the emperor face, what is looked down upon, what is the prosperity of yin and yang, and what the men of the Jia family have not planted, they really don't understand.

The daughters of the Jia family are all good at palace fighting, and they are all first-class masters in the backyard. But in the middle of the court, they know a fart.

Jia Jianan's inside is Jia Zheng and Jia Zhen at this time.

One is a stupid person who reads and reads stupidly, and he doesn't like the children in the family to dance with knives and guns, and the old lady didn't come over stupidly when she spoke.

The other is a pure eye, a high hand, and a low hand. I want to do great things all day long, but I don't have the wisdom to do it. Where can he read the doorway?

It is precisely because of the discord within the Jia family that the emperor will trust Wang Xiao boldly and with confidence.

The emperor raised his glass, "Have you made any eyebrows about what you checked?" ”

King Zhongshun's face was straight, and he lowered his voice, "Back to Your Majesty, then Jia Zhen really has a problem!" ”

On the square in front of the hall, everything is ready.

Wang Xiao turned over and got on the horse, relying purely on the strength of his legs to control the horse. Stretched out a hand to Wei Ran, who was full of unconvinced faces, and motioned for you to invite first.

Wei Ran, who was holding back his anger, didn't say a word, and immediately rode his horse and raised his bow and ran around the square.

'Bang la la~~~'

A group of dragon guards in iron armor hurried over and built a shield wall in front of the emperor with iron shields.

The commander of the Dragon Guards was eager to tear Wei Ran alive, and he used his bow and arrow in front of the emperor, and they were the ones who were most frightened.

Wei Ran held his breath and shot an arrow.

The candle on the right desk was instantly extinguished, and everyone around immediately applauded.

Turning the horse's head, Wei Ran, who came back to run, shot another arrow. There were forty candles on the desk, and all the remaining flames were extinguished.

"Good!"

King Zhongshun, who was watching through the gap in the shield, immediately exclaimed, "Amazing!" ”

The relationship between King Zhongshun and the Jia family was bad, and he was taught a lesson by Jia Daishan when he was young.

When the emperor was supported to ascend the throne, the Jia family was again a member of the princelings, and King Beijing, the sworn enemy of King Zhongshun, was friendly with the Jia family.

For various reasons, King Zhongshun didn't want to see Wang Xiao in the limelight and be valued by the emperor.

Wei Ran breathed a long sigh of relief, today he can be regarded as a super-level performance.

After cheering, everyone's eyes fell on Wang Xiao.

Being watched by so many people and pointing fingers. People with poor psychological quality will affect their performance.

Wang Xiao, who was on horseback, took out an eagle feather arrow from the quiver and threw it away.

There was an uproar all around, which must be a lot of self-confidence.

Riding a horse and running around the square for half a circle, after raising the speed, Wang Xiao opened his bow and set up an arrow, and shot an arrow without the slightest hesitation.

With a sound of 'whoosh~', the forty candles on the table on the left extinguished the fire together!

There was silence all around.

Before, Wei Ran extinguished forty candle flames with two arrows, and everyone cheered. But Wang Xiao did it with one arrow, but there was no sound. Because it's beyond everyone's imagination.

This archery technique is absolutely miraculous.

"Good!"

The Emperor stepped out from behind the shield array and shouted hello.

It was like coming to life, and the people around him also applauded loudly.

'Wine!' ’

The border troubles of the Great Zhou Dynasty became more and more serious.

The Tartars knocked to the north and the Tusi rebelled in the south. The rogue in the west gradually rose, and the Hongyi in the east came by boat.

However, the Great Zhou Dynasty is still a self-proclaimed prosperous era where the literary style is gradually rising, and it is drunk and dreaming all day long.

The emperor, who was worried about the country, wanted to revive his military equipment, and Wang Xiao's wonderful performance made him very satisfied. It fits very well with his plan to revitalize the armed forces.

The music started again, and the singing girls in the gauze skirts came and danced.

Everyone flocked to Wang Xiao, toasting him one after another and talking to him.

In addition to being shocked by Wang Xiao's supernatural strength, these old fritters all saw the emperor's intentions.

Wang Xiao raised the emperor's face like this, and it looked like he was going to use the rhythm. If you don't go up to climb a good popularity at this time, when will you wait?

Things in the court are similar to those in the entertainment industry.

When it's popular, everyone is sought after, and when it's black, everyone comes over and steps on it.

In the midst of the hustle and bustle, Wei Ran, who looked gloomy, stood in a gloomy corner, silently looking at Wang Xiao, who was sought after by countless people and was in the spotlight by candlelight.

Since childhood, he has invited famous teachers to teach, and has practiced hard for more than ten years regardless of winter and summer. Wei Ran is very confident in himself, and in his opinion, participating in the martial arts this time is the first step for him to get ahead.

But I never thought that I was pressed by the children of that family from beginning to end!

Even his most proud archery skills have been compared to others.

At this moment, in the intersection of light and shadow, the strong contrast tore at his heart like a poisonous snake.

"Lord Wei, my master invites you to meet."

A slightly sharp and shrill voice woke Wei Ran up, "Who is your master?" ”

The person who came smiled proudly: "Our family is loyal to the steward of the palace." ”

Wang Xiao was drunk.

Naturally, his alcohol consumption is very good. But no matter how good the amount of alcohol is, it can't withstand the persuasion of so many people in turn.

Do you drink with him or not, and look down on me?

Many times, it is the people who are inadvertently offended that are the most troublesome things.

Because you don't know who you are guilty of when, people are secretly preparing the opportunity to do something to you.

Before he finally got drunk, the emperor finally ended the banquet and let everyone go home.

Forced to get into Lin Ruhai's carriage, Wang Xiao fell asleep directly.

He felt like he had a wonderful dream.

In the dream, there was an intimate tryst with him with a slender figure.

The face will be Sun Ruowei for a while, Wang Xifeng for a while, Hu Shanxiang for a while, Emperor Maode for a while, and Sister Lin for a while.

When you are drunk, you will infinitely magnify the deepest *** in people's hearts. Wang Xiao, who thought he was dreaming, threw himself into it without hesitation. Ignoring the sobs in my ears.

When he finally woke up the next day, Wang Xiao opened his eyes and saw a charming face with tears in his arms.

"Whew~~~ It turned out to be Hokusai."

Wang Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he just wanted to say something. Suddenly, his face was stunned, and the whole person was stunned.
