Chapter 202: Archery Competition
Shangguan Yinling has been studying for a few days, and he has completely adapted to it, and every time Mr. assigns homework in the hall, he is the first one, and Bai Lingyu's first law is completely broken by him.
Bai Lingyu is also secretly competing, usually he can hardly see him talking to others, and he is always holding a book in his hand.
In the rare riding and archery class, the group changed into casual clothes that were convenient for them to show their hands and feet, and the riding and archery class was a team of men and women, led by their martial arts Mr. Wu Ruhui.
Men and women are divided into teams and prepare for a preliminary course on close-range target shooting.
Emata stood behind Lu Li, a little lamented.
For the women, the riding and archery class was far less comfortable than the etiquette class.
Most of them are raised in the boudoir, and almost all of them do not often spend physical strength on things such as riding and shooting, even if there are often women running horses in the horse farms in the suburbs of Beijing, but they are all a minority, most women are still more gentle and quiet, good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, etc.
Although Ematata is stronger than ordinary women, she is also more than capable of strength, especially after holding the reins of the horse with a bow and arrow, her hand is more hot and stinging, and it is easy to get calluses.
"Ah Li, are you afraid? Mr. is very fierce, and if he doesn't practice well, he will be scolded. ”
Emamata tugged at Lu Li's sleeve and whispered in her ear.
"What's so scary about this, horseback archery is much more interesting than endorsing." Lu Li is eager to try, and finally it is time for her to show her strength, she will definitely be able to take the first place.
"Have you heard, the Wuyi Kingdom in the Northwest Desert has sent the academy students of their country to our Daliang to discuss and consult, this riding and archery is to select two men and two women to fight against the Wuyi students who are famous for their riding and archery."
The two of them were chatting, and when they heard a few female students next to them discussing gossip, they all pricked up their ears and listened.
"No, the people of their Wuyi Kingdom all grew up on horseback, why should they compare to riding and shooting? Why not compare the qin, chess, calligraphy and painting? How can they be our opponents in this regard? ”
"Who made our Liang a state of etiquette, people come from afar, and naturally take care of others."
A few people were chatting about the gossip of Wuyi Country in a whisper, and Emamata couldn't help but pull Lu Li's sleeve.
"Ah Li, you have to behave well, and win glory for our Taixue in the future."
"I don't want to represent the people of the Holy Heaven and the Wuyi Kingdom to compete in cavalry and shooting." The saint bullied the adults like this, so she didn't want to help him.
"We are all the people of Daliang, and we are students of Taixue, so we naturally want to win glory for the country." Ematata said with enthusiasm, "If it's more than embroidery, I'll definitely be on it." ”
Since she was a child, she likes to embroider all kinds of lifelike flowers, birds, fish and insects on the empty cloth, and by the age of seventeen, she is already incomparable to the entire Taixue girls.
Lu Li was silent for a moment.
Matama is right, although the saint is biased, it is on behalf of the entire Liang to learn from other countries, and it is the face of the Liang who loses, as a child of the Liang and a student of Taixue, she naturally wants to make a modest contribution to Taixue for the Liang.
It's her narrow-mindedness.
Private grievances belong to private individuals, and she still has to be able to clear up national affairs.
"Matama, thank you for enlightening me, I understand." Lu Li nodded firmly.
Emata looked dazed, not knowing what she understood.
"In the first round of mounted shooting, the female students go first, and the male students stand by." Mr. Wu gave an order, and the men's team stood behind the shooting range, and the women's team lined up one by one, with one arrow target and ten arrows.
"Everyone, I'll do a demonstration first, this is a close-range target, it's relatively easy, as long as the action is in place, you will definitely be able to hit the target." For female students, it is not easy to be able to shoot at the target.
Many people are eager to try it, but when the arrow is on the line, it is a joke.
Looking at the first one Zheng Jingru, she didn't use enough force, the arrow was stretched out directly from the string, and the arrow fell at her feet, causing a laugh, and she was ashamed to find a crack in the ground to get into.
The second Bai Zhiwan, her equestrian skills are okay, but archery is a little poor, but fortunately, she can use her strength, she sloppily stuck to the target, and almost missed the target.
The third and fourth, the arrow was shot out, but the strength was not enough, and it fell to the ground halfway.
Fortunately, with Zheng Jingru's experience, the two of them were not laughed at.
The Lin sisters are among the better, especially Lin Xinyao, who almost hit the bull's-eye.
After Lin Xinyao finished shooting the arrow, she turned her head and raised her head proudly at Liang Song, and there was a lot of applause at the bottom, which is really good for a female student.
Liang Song blushed a little shyly and hid behind Gong Chengqi.
Next is Ematamata, she is also good at riding and shooting, and her results are on par with Lin Xinyao's.
Lu Li is almost in the last place, she is behind Ematamata, archery is a piece of cake for her, before she meets adults, she and Duan Lang are idle all day long riding horses to shoot rabbits and pheasants, every time it is a full harvest.
Living things weren't a problem for her, let alone dead things that didn't move.
Lu Litou approached the end of the arrow slightly, squinted his eyes slightly, and released the arrow at the target.
If the arrow has the potential to break through the bamboo, it goes straight to the bull's-eye, hitting the bull's-eye, and the tail of the arrow vibrates in the air, making a buzzing sound.
There was applause from below.
Mr. went to the target to take a look, the strength is very good, and there should be no problem at a long distance.
Lu Li is hitting the bull's-eye and is undoubtedly the best in the entire team of female students.
Mr. also had some measurements.
The men's team did not shoot short distances, and the women's team went straight to the long distance shooting events.
A row of people neatly drew their bows and arrows, and one arrow after another flew out of the bow and went straight to the bull's-eye.
The results are undoubted, Lu Li is still the most accurate and the best one.
The second place will be chosen from Lin Xinyao and Emamata.
The results of the two people are about the same, but Lin Xinyao's strength is excellent but the accuracy is a little lacking, and Ematata is the opposite of her, at the same time, Emata's patience is also much stronger than Lin Xinyao, and the final result is that Lin Xinyao lags behind Ematata by a very small margin.
Emata actually became the second place in shooting, and she couldn't believe it herself.
She doesn't like riding and shooting, and some of it is because her father took her to the shooting range since she was a child, and she naturally knows the skills after practicing more.
Lin Xinyao is a real heroine among women, and she really likes to ride and shoot.
The women's team stepped back and the men's team entered the game to begin the game.
Lu Li's eyes only had Shangguan Yuling's back, she didn't notice what happened to the others, she only saw him neatly pull up the bow, his expression was focused and his eyes were resolute, just looking at the silhouette already felt very handsome.
An arrow is fired, and the arrows seem to carry a blast of wind.
