Chapter 975: Downhill Road

This is not the first time that the multinational competition has been held, counting the time of the Emperor, this is the third time.

The envoys have long been accustomed to this tradition, so they come to the Hajj with carefully selected players. Judging from the results of the first two times, this competition is not a stage for the Tang people to show off their might, even if a certain event fails, they will not be troubled, and there is even a gold medal award.

In this way, this competition is just a daily pastime for the Tang people, and at most it brings them to it.

As soon as he thought of this, the hearts of the envoys were bitter. Under the attack of the world, they want to see a gradually declining Tang Dynasty, but, at the same time at war with many countries, their finances do not seem to shrink at all. After two or three years of dullness, it was revitalized.

The generals of the Tang Dynasty no longer wore Mingguang armor, but instead wore a stronger and lighter fish scale armor. The soldiers below were also gradually replaced with fish scale armor, and there was also an armor that they jokingly called "canned armor". From the moment they entered the territory of Datang, they did not see a single soldier in leather armor again.

What a desperate power!

Not surprisingly, the news of the multi-national competition came out. After thinking hard, Lu Dongzan decided to start training with his entourage. Since this competitive competition is the entertainment of the Tang people, then he has to shine in this competition. Only in this way can he get a little respite under the terrifying pressure brought by Datang.

The envoys who arrived first had just started training, and the nobles had already started their games.

Nobles are aristocrats, and they can't compete with the state level, even if they win, it's not honorable.

So, starting with the barons, the competition between the nobles began.

The gymnasium outside the Bungain has been modified several times and has become a large gymnasium that can accommodate tens of thousands of spectators.

Li Shimin took Zhenguan Lao Chen to occupy the rostrum arrogantly and acted as a judge, and Tang Jin, the secretary of the Ministry of War, personally acted as a referee.

The nobles' generals are generally veterans of a hundred battles, and if they fight, he is the only one among the current generals who can fight two.

In the middle of the field, more than a dozen obstacles have been arranged. Competitors have to walk through a pile of rubble, grab a rope and climb up a high wall, and then climb down by groping for a bulge....

Looking at the generals who were advancing rapidly in the field, Li Shimin sighed with emotion: "In the past, only the Dragon Tooth Army had such soldiers, but now, such skills have become the norm." ”

Leng Feng was drinking tea on the side, not ready to answer.

Li Erniu, who was standing behind Leng Feng, arched his hand to Li Shimin: "Emperor Taishang, skill is one thing, experience is another. Don't look at the brothers of our Dragon Tooth Army who have gone downhill, but it's still okay to send a few random people to overthrow them. If we put it in a large area to play freely, I'm afraid there will be no loss on our side. ”

Li Shimin nodded, agreeing with Li Erniu's words.

Those who participated in the competition today and watched the game were all from the noble family, and even minor officials were not allowed to join.

Simply watching the game was boring, Li Chengqian commanded the eunuch behind him, and the next two players on the field became Cheng Yanjin and Wei Chigong.

Wei Chigong's body is suffering a lot of damage, and the people who were originally like the iron tower are now left with shelves. And Cheng Yanjin is still like that, although his hair is a lot grayer, but as soon as his voice opens, he knows that he is still full of energy.

"Damn, I just met you. Black charcoal, if Lao Tzu's family wins, the bottle of wine you have hidden for a long time will have to be contributed, and everyone will drink it together. ”

Wei Chigong rolled his eyes: "Bet on it, but it's too boring to bet on a bottle of wine, the old man heard that the old bustard in Cuihualou is over sixty years old, whoever loses, how about finding her to sleep for a night?" ”

Looking at the quarrelsome Cheng Biting Jin and Wei Chigong, Li Shimin finally became interested. He hadn't seen the old bustard in Cuihualou, but since he was sixty years old, it was enough to bury people. If any guy loses, should he or not?

With Wei Chi Gong and Cheng Biting Jin here, the atmosphere can be enlivened up immediately. The two veterans have fought each other for a lifetime, even in front of Li Shimin.

The obstacle is just running, and the two veterans just take an iron horn and cheer up their home generals like wolves. Good things have long since split their camps and advocated on one side.

With so many ministers and brave generals boosting morale, the effect is somewhat excessive. One of the generals of the Wei Chi family may have been frightened by such a scene, and his feet were empty, and he fell.

If you fall from a height of several meters, you will be seriously injured if you don't die, but fortunately, the security work is good, and each contestant has a safety rope on his body.

Yu Chigong pointed to the generals who were swinging around like a pendulum and scolded, while Cheng Yanjin smiled and leaned back.

The obstacle course is just an appetizer, followed by events such as horse racing.

Li Shimin hasn't ridden a horse for a long time, although he only looks like he has more gray hair, but his body has actually declined so much that he will be dizzy as long as he gets on the horse and runs around.

You can't ride a horse, but you can still shoot arrows. Seeing that there was an arrow target in the arena, Li Shimin stood up and took off his dragon robe to change his clothes.

As soon as the prepared generals of each family came on the field, they were blown away, and the Emperor Taishang personally went down, and it became a competition between the heads of various families.

Li Shimin's archery skills are very high, and he can be called a magic archer. Especially in his early years, he had great strength and could even shoot a five-stone bow.

After finding a five-stone bow and trying it, Li Shimin sighed and could only pick up a three-stone bow.

The bow opened the full moon, the arrows were like thunder, and the golden arrows hit the bull's-eye steadily.

Handing the bow behind him, Li Chengqian took it.

"The father's divine shot is still the same, and the sons congratulate the father!"

Angrily pushed Li Chengqian in front of the white line, Li Shimin sighed: "At the beginning, I was dissatisfied with the beauty of the condor archer, so I found someone to build a five-stone bow, although I could only fire ten arrows with all my strength, but it was enough to shock people's hearts. I can't think of it now, and I can't pull the five-stone bow. ”

Wei Chigong smiled bitterly and said: "The old minister is still comfortable with the three-stone bow, but the old minister is not in good health, and he is out of breath when he shoots an arrow." ”

Just now, Yu Chigong's arrow only shot nine rings. This was unimaginable in the past. These generals from troubled times, as long as they don't hit the bull's-eye, they will be ridiculed.

Leng Feng also shot a ten-ring, and when he saw that Wei Chi Gong was sad, he pointed at Cheng and bit Jin: "You know how to do your best, that guy knows how to mess around." ”

Glancing at Cheng Yanjin's side, everyone suddenly leaned back and laughed.

The old guy chose a five-stone bow with an old heart, and the arrow was shot out, but it was not on the target at all.

Seeing a few soldiers go to the audience to look for arrows, it is estimated that this guy shot over there.

This means that there are few people, and if there are people participating, when the seats are full, this arrow may take away an unlucky ghost.
