Jiang Anyi was wearing a dark green six-grade civil official uniform, An Bao rolled his strange eyes and looked at Jiang Anyi for a long time, and asked in a daze, "What are you doing?" ”

"I'm a scholar, just now I heard your Excellency say that no one in Dazheng can match your archery skills, so I'll shoot an arrow for you to see, so that you know that there is a sky outside the sky, and there are people outside the world." Jiang Anyi smiled in response.

An Ba shook his head, did he not hear clearly, a scholar really thought that he could beat himself by relying on the so-called "six arts of gentlemen". Seeing Jiang Anyi choosing a bow and arrow, An Ba asked, "Are you saying that you can also kill three incense heads with one bow and three arrows at the same time?" ”

"Why do you need three arrows, I only need one arrow, and I can kill three incense sticks, or even ten."

Everyone couldn't believe their ears, this Jiang Anyi was crazy, it was rare to kill the incense head with an arrow, one bow and three arrows was a stunt, and the bull that killed the ten incense heads with one arrow was too big.

An Bao was stunned for a moment, and then laughed wildly, and said: "Wu Na scholar, if you can really destroy the ten incense heads with one arrow, I, An Ba, am willing to kowtow to you and worship you as a teacher." If you can't do it, then you can kneel on the ground and kowtow to me three times, and admit loudly that you are a liar, and you Da Zheng people are all liars. ”

"It's a deal." Jiang Anyi's words were loud and loud, making everyone's hearts rise to their throats.

Prince Shi Chongwei's eyes were shining, and he asked Wei Youcheng beside him, "Brother-in-law, can you kill a few incense heads with one arrow?" ”

Let yourself shoot an arrow with a bow, I am afraid that the arrow will not reach a hundred and fifty paces away, let alone be accurate. Wei Youcheng smiled bitterly and didn't dare to make a sound.

The prince's eyes looked at Shen Guogong on the right, and Wang Keming said: "The minister can kill one incense head with one arrow, but the minister can't do it with one bow and three arrows, as for the impossible way to kill ten incense heads with one arrow, how can Jiang Anyi say big things on this occasion?" No, unless ......"

Wang Keming suddenly thought of something, his frowning brows stretched out, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Unless anything, Shen Guogong quickly tell King Gu."

"His Royal Highness the Prince, don't be impatient, wait and see."

At this time, Jiang Anyi had already selected a bow and arrows. The bow is a two-stone bow, and it takes more than 200 catties of strength to fill it, and everyone saw that Jiang Anyi's strength was not small, so they felt a little relieved. The arrow is a three-pronged arrow, similar in style to ordinary arrows, but the arrow is flattened, protruding in the middle, and the two sides are stretched into an arc, which is used to cut cables and other objects in wartime.

Anba seems to be rough, but in fact, he is as careful as a hair. He went to the incense burner to see if he had done anything with his hands and feet, and he personally inserted ten sticks of incense into the furnace so that they would not be pierced by an arrow in a straight line. After doing this, An Ba returned to Jiang Anyi's side and signaled that Jiang Anyi could shoot.

Jiang Anyi stepped forward not simply with a hot head and reckless recklessness. First, Anba was arrogant at that time, and someone needed to come forward; Second, Jiang Anyi felt that he could destroy three incense sticks with one arrow, of course, he killed them instead of shooting them, as for whether they were three or ten, they were actually about the same.

Jiang Anyi's archery skills were learned from Xuchanghua, and he had seen Xuchanghua's stunts of beaded arrows, arc arrows and three arrows in one hand, and he thought that he was a few points stronger than Anba. In the battle in the back garden of Xuchanghua that day, if Tong'er hadn't shouted, Jiang Anyi would have almost died under the arrow.

Archery is a long-range and effective way to hit the enemy, Jiang Anyi deliberately attaches importance to both civil and military, so he naturally carefully studied archery. With nothing to do, Jiang Anyi deliberately combined Yuan Xuan's heart method with archery, using the heart as the bow, the intention as the arrow, and the qi to guide the way, creating a state of the heart bow and arrow, which has never been revealed in front of people.

Jiang Anyi stood still in the hall, adjusting his breathing evenly, staring at the incense burner in the distance, Jiang Anyi slowly closed his eyes. In the brain, the incense burner in the distance is clearly visible, the bow in the hand becomes an extension of the arm, and the consciousness is like an arrow, piercing straight into the incense burner.

There was silence in the hall, and the sound of heavy breathing could be faintly heard, and everyone was quietly waiting for Jiang Anyi's move, Shi Fangzhen's hand was clenched tightly in the wine glass, and his fingers were pale and he didn't know it.

Recruiting Ran, Jiang Anyi opened his eyes, and a trace of clarity flashed in his eyes, like the stars shining in the sky. The arrow was like lightning, splitting the night sky, and with a crisp sound of "dang", it shot on one foot of the incense burner. This incense burner is made of bronze, about one foot high, three furnace feet are as thick as a wine cup, the arrow is shot on the right furnace foot, the arrow is like a shovel, attached to Jiang Anyi's true qi, extremely sharp, "whoosh" will break the furnace foot.

The furnace broke and fell to the right. One hundred and fifty steps from the archery in the temple, it happened to be on the side of the steps, the incense burner was placed on the steps, the incense burner could not stand on it, it fell to the right, it was carried by the arrow wind, rolled down the steps, and rolled down, and the incense ashes were scattered on the ground, and as for the ten incense sticks inside, they could not be extinguished again.

There was silence in the hall at first, and then the sound of "good" rang out. Shi Fangzhen let out a sigh of relief and shouted, "Okay, good archery." He raised his glass and drank the wine in his hand, only to find that his hands were full of wet sweat droplets.

An Ba was dumbfounded, stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses, and shouted loudly: "Sarai, it doesn't count. ”

Jiang Anyi smiled and said: "May I ask if I only shot one arrow, but all ten incense sticks were extinguished, where can I do it?" ”

The prince slapped the table with both hands with a smile and said, "Jiang Qing is really resourceful, no wonder he said that he can kill ten incense heads with one arrow, and I think a hundred are not a problem." ”

Taiwei Zhu sighed with a smile: "The Art of War: Only wisdom and strategy, only faith can keep, only benevolence can love, only courage can fight, only strictness can come, this son is brave and strategic, and it can be of great use." ”

Li Man brushed his clothes and said angrily: "Da Zheng has always advertised to convince people with virtue and reason, how to compare archery with many frauds, win people with tricks, and win without martial arts." ”

Ning Tao sneered: "Soldiers are not tired of cheating, has the second prince forgotten?" ”

Li Mande has been teaching for many years, and he knows the Central Plains culture very well, and then retorted: "The two countries are friendly, and the game is not a war between the two armies. ”

Shi Fang Zhenyi frowned, restrained his smile, and asked, "Second Prince, what should I do?" ”

"Re-compare, this time the question will be made by our side, and the loser will drink three cups by himself, I don't know what His Majesty thinks?" Li Man bowed to Shi Fangzhen and smiled.

Shi Fang's heart is in the heart, Chen Yinguang and others reported that Prince Liman was rude and unliterate, judging from tonight's performance, this person has a city government in his chest, and he is a great character.

The arrow is on the string, how can you not send it. Shi Fangzhen nodded and said, "It's up to the prince." ”

Li Man gathered An Ba, Cha Mubu and others together for a moment to discuss, Li Man stood up and said: "Tonight is a comparison of archery, arrows are things that hurt people, and people are moving, so the next competition will shoot some living things." ”

Living creatures, where to find living creatures in the middle of the night, it is not enough to let the soldiers pretend to be living creatures and be arrowed.

Seeing that everyone was puzzled, Li Man pointed to the outside of the hall with his hand, not far from the main hall of the palace is Luoyan Lake, the reeds in the lake are thick, the water and grass are luxuriant, and there are many migratory birds that go south.

"There are countless migratory birds in the lake, and it only takes a firecracker to startle them. The king suggested that the contestants should shoot down the birds with bows and arrows, and that the most of them should be limited to one arrow, and the most of them would win. ”

Although it is night, there is still a bend of the eyebrows under the moon, there are many birds in the lake, a sound will startle countless people, even those who can't shoot arrows will shoot indiscriminately and will hit, this competition is not very difficult, but a little bit of luck.

Seeing that the general of Da Zheng in the hall became eager to try, a sneer appeared at the corner of Li Man's mouth, and continued: "Of course, it is necessary to increase the difficulty, those who shoot the body of the bird will not only not be scored, but will be deducted points, and those who shoot the bird will not be scored, and only the arrow will be counted as a fate if it pierces the bird's eye." ”

Li Man said the conditions, and the brushes in the hall gasped for cool air, which was a hundred times more difficult than shooting incense. You must know that this is a dark night, with the help of the faint moonlight it is difficult to see the shape of the bird, and it is a group of birds flying together, even if you can see clearly, it is easy to accidentally hurt the bird's body, and the arrow pierces the bird's eye, which can be said to be a miraculous skill.

With such harsh conditions, not only did everyone tie their hands, but even Jiang Anyi was apprehensive, and he had no confidence at all. Jiang Anyi looked at An Bao beside him, judging from his performance, he was not so powerful.

After Li Man finished speaking, he came to his seat, bowed to the person who was still seated, and said, "Venerable Lao has made a move." ”

Among the six people who attended the banquet in the Northern Desert, this person was the most mysterious, wearing a navy blue felt robe, his head and face were covered by a coat and hat, and his face could not be seen clearly. Once seated, just eat quietly and don't talk and laugh loudly like others. When everyone saw Li Man saluting this person, they knew that this person's identity was not simple.

The man stood up, tall, half a head taller than Liman. The hat on his head slipped off, revealing the bare top of his head, and he looked no more than thirty years old. The top of the head and face are tattooed with cyan ornaments, which look even more eerie in the light.

Taiwei Zhu's face sank, and he said softly: "This person is the Venerable of the Sadu Sect, I wonder if Your Majesty can bring Long Wei with you?" ”

Shi Fangzhen nodded and said, "It's okay, it's just that there are no people who are proficient in archery among the dragon guards, and I'm afraid I will lose the next competition." ”

Da Zheng Qunchen was very curious about this strange man from the Northern Desert, and the prince had never seen a strange figure with tattoos on his face and head, so he asked: "Shen Guogong, who is this strange person, why do you tattoo some messy things on your head and face?" ”

Wang Kefu knew that this person was from the Sadu religion, which is the state religion of the Northern Desert, similar to Buddhism and Taoism in Dazheng. Saduism believes in all things in nature, wind, rain, thunder and lightning, water, volcanoes, rivers, animals and plants are all gods believed in by Sadu, Saduke is very strict, only those who are considered to be psychic can join the sect, according to the level of psychic is divided into four levels: Guru, Master, Venerable, and Waiter, which are taught by the Dharma King.

"Saduism is the state religion of the Northern Desert, and the ornaments on the body represent the degree of cultivation and the gods to be believed", Wang Kefu explained to the prince in a heavy tone: "I listened to Prince Liman's words just now, this person is Venerable, one Dharma King in the Sadu Sect, four masters, eight masters, eighteen venerables, can become Venerables, most of them are people with great powers, unless your father sends a dragon guard master to fight, otherwise this competition is going to lose." ”
