Chapter 595: Imperial Test Arrow 4
On the upper floor of Xuande Gate, Li Bangyan said to Zhao Ji, "Your Majesty, the minister is very good at archery, I'm afraid that the Jin man is not his opponent." ”
Zhao Fujin, who was watching from the other side, interjected and said, "If the Liao people are good at fighting, how can they give the Jin people a loss of the country?" ”
Zhao Ji turned his head and asked Cai Youdao, "Cai Qing, you have been in front of the army for a long time, how do you think this Liao envoy's archery skills compare with the Jin people?" ”
"Your Majesty, the golden envoy has not yet shot an arrow, and it is difficult for the minister to decide. It's just that just looking at the four people shooting wine utensils, the Liao envoy has a win. Cai You said again, "Your Majesty, the minister heard that the deputy envoy Wu Sheren said that the Liao envoy entered the capital pavilion from outside the city, and when he passed through the Great Xiangguo Temple, Wu Sheren mentioned the Xiangguo Frost Bell, one of the eight views of Bianjing, and the Liao envoy casually used the five elements of the bell to belong to gold, and the autumn should be ringing to explain the cause of the frost bell. On this matter alone, the golden envoy seems to be much worse. ”
Looking at the golden envoy below who looked like a martial artist, Zhao Ji and Li Bangyan couldn't help but smile. Zhao Fujin pouted beside him and said, "I'm a six-year-old boy in the Song Dynasty, and I also know the theory of the five elements. This Liao envoy just overheard this explanation from somewhere, so he took it out as his own dialect and took it out to fill his face. ”
The three of them didn't know why this emperor was against the Liao envoy everywhere, she was the one who proposed the archery competition just now, and she was the one who replaced Zhou Nan with the smallest wine cup to shoot.
Li Bangyan and the others were embarrassed, and suddenly heard the order to shoot arrows downstairs, but saw that it was the turn of the golden envoy to shoot. The golden envoy did not take the arrow, but opened the empty bow with his hand, and stretched it hard, only to hear the sound of "ooh", the bowstring broke, and the bowstring that bounced off was whipped on the golden envoy's face, making a slender wound, but the golden envoy did not care, and shouted loudly, "I, the Ulu envoy, am not used to this kind of bird bow, quickly change to a hard bow!" ”
Originally, this competition was an impromptu archery competition, and there were no set rules. Now that the bowstring is broken, the shooter asks for a change to a hard bow, which does not seem to have been allowed beforehand; Besides, if you change to a hard bow, the strength is great, and if you do it reluctantly, you will lose your head. Unless it is indeed divine power, if the weight is light, then it is indeed time to change the hard bow. The imperial guard who supervised the shooting groaned slightly, and asked his subordinates to take two hard bows - the Jin envoy and the Liao envoy competed, and whoever lost and who won was put aside first, if it was said that the Great Song Dynasty did not have a hard bow, it would be a big joke.
Zhao Fujin seemed to have found corroboration, and said with a smile: "Daddy, look, this golden man has divine power in both arms, if there is a hard bow to help, then the Liao people are only afraid that they will go to the Duodian to drink." ”
"It is not yet known who killed the deer." Zhao Fujin has always belittled Zhou Nan, which made Zhao Ji sympathize with Zhou Nan.
At this time, the imperial guard took two hard bows of different sizes and left them to the golden envoy Uru to choose. Uru picked it up, tried it separately, picked one of them, checked it again, and then said, "This is it!" ”
I saw that this Ulu first took out an arrow, put it on the string, aimed at the arrow stack, shouted, and drew the bow round, only to see the arrow flying, shooting at the arrow stack, but did not hit the bull's-eye like Zhou Nan just now, but shot at the arrow stack indiscriminately, but the arrow branch was too strong, and it passed through the arrow stack.
Seeing the arrow pass through the stack, Uru jumped up on the ground excitedly, did a somersault, and then landed firmly on the ground, shouting muttering words from his mouth, and half of his face was oozing blood, looking strange and scary.
The arrow passed through the arrow stack, and there was no initial rule that it had to be shot from the bull's-eye, so the first arrow of the golden envoy was also considered qualified.
"Jin made the first round of arrows of white arrows pass; In the second round, participate! The Imperial Guard shouted.
Ulu picked up four long arrows, stood still, and suddenly fired four arrows in succession, and even shot the arrow stack like Zhou Nan. The people on the south bank of the Dragon River were amazed that this hard bow could shoot four arrows in a row, and they immediately shouted. The speed of the arrow is the speed of the arrow, the speed of the arrow, the speed of the bow, and the speed of aiming, all of which are indispensable. Among them, if the bow is replaced with a hard bow that you don't usually use, the speed of opening the bow will be much slower, and it will affect your accuracy. It can be seen that this golden envoy Ulu must also be a master of archery, and he is not opportunistic in order to shoot the first arrow through the arrow stack.
Seeing that all four arrows were hit, there was a strange cry of "woo wow", he threw away his bow and glanced at Zhou Nan defiantly. There are many things in human nature that are common, such as this defiant look. Xiao Jiu naturally understood the meaning of this, and couldn't help but say loudly, "The mountain boar is full of brute strength!" ”
That Ulu heard Xiao Jiu speak to him, and shouted angrily, "Who are you scolding? Uru was waiting for the other party to say, "I've scolded you." What's up? Then he came over and beat Xiao Jiu so badly.
Who knew that Xiao Jiu said: "Whoever asks, scolds whom!" Ulu didn't expect Xiao Jiu to answer this, I want to say that I asked it myself, which makes people feel as if they are looking for scolding; Don't ask, and I'm not willing to be a shrunken turtle.
At this time, the imperial guard shouted, "In front of the Holy Lord, you must not be rude and noisy!" Ulu glared at Xiao Jiu fiercely and stopped talking.
"The second round of Jin envoy participated in the connection, and all four arrows were hit!" The imperial guard shouted to the castle tower, and then ordered the envoy of the Western Xia Kingdom to start shooting arrows.
The envoy of the Western Xia Kingdom did not pick whether it was a hard bow or not, picked up the first arrow, and followed Zhou Nan's example, aiming at the bull's-eye, and also shot an arrow. Maybe it was because I watched the archery of Zhou Nan and Ulu before, and the bland arrow of the envoy of the Western Xia Kingdom, although it pierced the bull's-eye, no one applauded. Perhaps it is the reason why the Western Xia Kingdom always constantly provokes and fights with the Great Song Dynasty, and is not so enthusiastic about the envoys of the Western Xia Kingdom.
began to shoot the second round of arrows, and the envoy of the Western Xia Kingdom was much more cautious. The first arrow went steadily, and the arrow hit the battlement; The second, third, and fourth arrows were shot in a row, although they were not as fast as those of Zhou Nan and Ulu, but they could also be called serial arrows. It's just that one arrow didn't hit the stack. There was a burst of cheers and even strange shouts from the crowd on the south bank, and the envoy of the Western Xia Kingdom retreated to his place with a face full of shame.
The last envoy of the Goryeo Kingdom had not yet shot an arrow, but he said loudly, "This envoy is just to be respectful and accompanied, and everyone will be happy." Participate in the company and skip it, just shoot one arrow! After finding the steps for himself, he picked up his bow and arrow, and aimed at the bull's-eye for a long time before letting go of the shot. After all, archery was very valued in the era of cold weapons, Confucianism also emphasized the six arts of gentlemen, Goryeo was deeply influenced by the Great Song Dynasty, and literati doctors also knew a thing or two about archery. It's just that the remaining four arrows are not shot.
Zhou Nan and Ulu each shot as required, the envoy of the Western Xia Kingdom shot an arrow, and the envoy of the Goryeo Kingdom simply gave up on his own, so Zhou Nan and Ulu won. Zhou Nan is ingenious, Ulu is strong, but it is difficult to distinguish between victory and defeat. Like Song Chungui, please collect x Song Chungui.
