The Ankang Building on the bank of the Luoshui River has resumed its former liveliness, not only lively, but also set up a high platform in front, but there is no slogan hanging on it that punches Sanjiang and kicks the four seas.

But even so, Li Xian still felt stunned. No matter who was locked up in the prison and tortured for several days, after coming out, they would be a little more restrained, after all, the opponent has not yet fallen, how can there be such a generous appearance as this Hu Tianye? Looking at Hu Tianye, who was slightly thin but energetic on the high platform, he couldn't help but put a big question mark in his heart.

casually found someone to inquire, and Li Xian learned that the platform he set up was indeed a ring, but it was not a knife, a gun and a club, but only one thing - archery.

In these years, the people did not prohibit martial arts, whether it was knives, guns, clubs, bows and arrows, as long as the grass people had money, they could buy all of them, and only one thing was only allowed to be equipped by the army, that is, crossbows. Therefore, setting up a ring at the time of opening is not illegal than archery, and it will not attract people from the yamen. Of course, archery is no better than others, and it requires a spacious field, so although the ring is not big, the venue for testing archery is not small. As for the jackpot, it is a shiny 100 yuan.

The hundred strings of money that Huang Cancan had strung with a rope were stacked high on the plate, which looked particularly attractive. It's just that most of the people who have spare money to practice martial arts in these years are the children of rich families, although a hundred yuan is a lot, but it is not worth showing off once, so only some young men in short clothes want to fight for luck a few times, but unfortunately most people have never shot arrows at all, some can't pull the hard bow at all, and some of the arrows shot out of the bow are weak and weak, and finally one person shot the target, but there are still 108,000 miles away from the red heart.

Li Xian felt itchy when he looked at it, but the problem was that he was unknown to anyone else, but he was considered a celebrity here. As soon as he and Li Jingye and Cheng Bohu stood still, a guy came over and whispered hello, and he was naturally embarrassed to go up again to stir up the situation. Looking at the horrific archery of the man who had gone up to try his luck, he almost covered his eyes with his hands.

Finally, after a lame performance by a bunch of mediocre hands, a big man of five big and three thick jumped into the middle of the field, took a hard bow without saying a word, and then drew a feather arrow from the quiver on the side, and easily opened the bow. Just listen to the whoosh, and the off-string arrow is right on target. Although he didn't hit the heart, he was only half a finger short, which can be regarded as good archery.

Although Li Ji is not the best at archery, he also teaches Li Xian a few tricks on weekdays. And Li Xian usually focuses on sword practice, but he also spends an hour practicing archery every day, and now it is almost at this level. Seeing that the man was dressed in a short dress and had a rough face, Li Xian knew that the other party was not from a rich background, and it was not easy to have this level, so he took the lead in shouting.

As soon as he applauded, Cheng Bohu naturally coaxed, and although Li Jingye didn't look down on this level, he also slapped his face. As soon as the three of them on the tall horses applauded, the people around immediately echoed it, and for a while the cheers were thunderous, and all the congratulatory messages such as a hundred steps through the Yang were poured into the field, which made the big man blush.

When the cheering stopped for a while, an abrupt voice suddenly sounded: "It's not enough to wear Yang in a hundred steps!" ”

When Li Xian heard the prestige, he saw that the person who spoke was a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy, who was dressed quite plainly, but he was a little arrogant between his eyebrows and eyes, and he was not followed by adults. When he was observing, Leng Buding bumped into an elbow next to him: "Liulang, this guy looks a little promising, why don't you and the eldest brother of Jingye go up and meet him?" ”

You don't need to look at Li Xian to know that this is Cheng Bohu, this guy is too impulsive, and he didn't make any progress in practicing archery for a few months, and finally he simply ******** practicing axe. And he, Li Xian and Li Jingye, practice archery part-time, and their level is also half a catty to eight taels, which is not very clever.

"Don't underestimate people!" Li Xian didn't realize that he was also a child, and said with certainty, "Haven't you heard of a saying in the rivers and lakes, monks, Taoists, women and children are the most despiseable, maybe the master is in it!" ”

"What a saying, I haven't heard it, I don't believe it!" Li Jingye heard the conversation between the two and squeezed over, "We have been practicing for so many years, and all of them are not worth grandpa." This guy is only twelve or thirteen years old, what great archery skills can he practice? ”

Seeing that Cheng Bohu on the side was also shaking his head there, Li Xian unconsciously rose up and blurted out: "Then let's bet, I bet that he will definitely win today!" If I lose, your previous debts will be written off! ”

This bet immediately aroused the arrogance of Cheng Bohu and Li Jingye, and they almost agreed in unison: "If you lose, the previous arrears will be doubled!" ”

Hearing this, Li Xian naturally agreed, and immediately rode his horse forward a few steps to find a good position. At this time, the young man who spoke had already entered the field, but instead of choosing the bow and arrow provided by Ankang Lou, he took off the long burden on his back, and after unfolding the heavily wrapped cloth, it was a bow with a unique shape.

"It's Zhemu!" Li Jingye muttered to himself, and when he saw Li Xian looking back at him, he immediately changed his words, "Even if you use a Zhemu bow, you still have to look at the level of archery in the end, maybe he won't even be able to pull the bow!" ”

Li Xian didn't have as good eyesight as Li Jingye, so he only thought it was a good bow, and when he heard the word Zhemu, he knew that he had won most of it, and he didn't refute Li Jingye with a smile, and stood there with his hands in his hands to watch the excitement. I saw that the young man took his bow, and then stepped forward and drew three arrows from the quiver on the table, and turned around to take a slight aim and bowed into a full moon.

The interval between the three arrows is extremely short, and it is no exaggeration to say that it is a beaded arrow, and the most rare thing is that the three feather arrows hit the bull's-eye, and they are all crowded in the most central piece, and the tail of the arrow is still trembling slightly.

Seeing this result, Li Jingye and Cheng Bohu couldn't help but face as white as paper, and both thought of their terrible amount of debts, and although Li Xian said that he was elated, when he heard the thunderous cheers around him again, and saw that the man at first was full of dejection, and the young man was slightly concerned, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration. Before Hu Tianye went to get the hundred yuan, he drank violently.

"Wait!"

When everyone's eyes were focused on him, Li Xian left Li Jingye and Cheng Bohu, who were looking at each other, and got off the horse with a smile and entered the arena, looking the young man up and down for a while.

The young man was stunned by Li Xian's gaze, and finally couldn't help but glare back: "Do you want to participate in this competition?" ”

After Li Xian sighed twice, he took three or two steps over and dragged the big man back just now, and suddenly asked the young man, "Dare to ask Brother Zun how many years has you practiced this arrow?" ”

The boy was already a little alert, but he still replied, "Five years!" ”

"This big brother, how many years have you been practicing?"

The big man shook his head in frustration: "I just picked a bad bamboo bow used by others, and I used it if I had nothing to do, and I have been practicing for more than ten years!" ”

"This eldest brother has to work hard for a living, and he has always used the worst bamboo bow when practicing, but you use the best Zhemu bow, and you practice every day, wouldn't it be strange if you can't win against him?" Seeing that the young man's face turned red, Li Xian immediately added while the iron was hot, "When your master or your elders teach you to practice archery, it should be to make you famous on the battlefield, not to compete with others!" ”
