Chapter 498: Showing Off Your Skills (Part II)

Of course Li Yanqing knows his own catties, if he participates in the middle shot, I am afraid that others will have no share, if he has self-knowledge, he should consciously participate in the long-range shooting competition, but since the "Han Xizai Night Banquet" is what Cao Yun has been looking forward to for a long time, then he Li Yanqing can only be cheeky to exploit this loophole.

In fact, even if Cao Yun doesn't like this painting, but because it is a copy of Zhang Zeduan, Li Yanqing will be desperate to win it.

Li Yanqing slowly walked back to the shooting venue, there were the most people here, enough for hundreds of people to line up, almost half of men and women, many of them were couples who had already made up for marriage, and they also took this opportunity to come to observe each other and secretly communicate with each other.

There are no rules for close-range shooting, casual projection play, mid-range shooting is also mainly playing, and you can continue to queue up and throw again if you can't shoot, but in order to shorten the queuing time, there are still some rules, that is, you can only give one arrow at a time, and you can continue to throw if you hit it, and you have to leave if you can't shoot, and then continue to line up.

In the team, Cao Yun eagerly looked at the scroll at the highest place, she already liked painting, and she had a soft spot for high-quality words, today's jackpot is her favorite "Han Xizai's Night Banquet Picture", which is a copy of Hanlin of the Painting Academy, the level is no less than the real handiwork, it is a treasure that can be met but not sought.

The Pan family took it out as a jackpot, faintly also has the meaning of showing, you must know that if you want to win this painting, you must continue to throw five shots in a row, a distance of five feet away, that is, four meters five, into the bowl mouth of the thin neck copper bottle, how difficult it is, especially to put some projection masters in the shooting ban list, the probability of losing this painting is extremely small.

Cao Yun looked at the painting and sighed softly, "Ah Yun, I'm afraid I won't be able to get this painting, I only won once when I was lucky, how could I get it today?" ”

"Xiao Saburo shot four arrows last time, why don't we let him help?" Cao Yun suggested.

"He doesn't seem to be allowed to shoot, and it doesn't count, forget it, whoever hits, open it and show me, I'm satisfied."

The two were talking in a low voice, and a gentle voice came from beside them, "Yun Niang, why don't I help you vote!" ”

As soon as Cao Yun turned around, she saw that it was Li Yanqing standing beside her with a smile, her face flushed, and she said half-loudly: "I don't know if you are allowed to help?" ”

"Allowed! Allowed! ”

Next to him, Cao Yun said repeatedly: "You see that the front is all helping to throw arrows, otherwise they will take away the good prizes." ”

In fact, Cao Yun also saw that there were at least five or six pairs of men and women in front of them who were ready to throw arrows together, but they were either married couples, or Lang had a concubine who was interested, so what was it to accept his help?

When Cao Yun participated in the magpie meeting for the first time in October last year, many young men offered to help her throw pots, but she politely declined, but today..... Maybe it was because she was looking forward to the jackpot too much, or maybe there was something else, Cao Yun finally nodded and agreed, "That.... Then thank you Li Guanren. ”

Li Yanqing perked up and said with a smile: "Let's see how we played today?" ”

"Has Li Guanren ever cast a quiver before?" Cao Yun only knew that Li Yanqing was born as a Jinshi, but he didn't know that he was also a champion in archery.

"I used to play in Taixue, and I've always had good luck."

Cao Yun discussed with Cao Yun in a low voice, and Cao Yun smiled and said, "If you can, Li Guanren will also help Ah Yun vote once!" ”

"As long as the rules allow it, I have no problem!"

Cao Yun suddenly smiled with joy, "Allowed, Li Guanren can help two people at most, I don't want a high prize, you can help me win the C award, I want that pair of butterfly dance golden hairpins." ”

"Good! It's on me. ”

The team turned a lot, and after a while, there were only three people left in front, and now it was a young son of a family who helped his engaged fiancΓ©e throw arrows, and he had been hit three arrows in a row, and the female companion next to him clapped her hands with joy, and the Cao sisters looked a little nervous on their faces.

Cao Yun whispered to Li Yanqing: "That person's name is Zhao Wuben, he is an official in the field, he is very good at throwing arrows, and he won the first prize a few years ago. ”

Li Yanqing is also paying attention to this Zhao Wuben's archery technique, he is indeed very skillful, and his strength is controlled very accurately, but he still owes a little bit of fire, and he is a little worse at the subtlety, and he can only look at luck if he wants to shoot five shots.

The fourth arrow was fired, 'Dang! The bronze arrow flicked on the spout of the pot, but it still fell into the pot, and the steward said loudly: "Four shots and four hits, the second prize has been won, ready to hit the jackpot!" ”

Actually shot four shots, which immediately caused a sensation in the field, countless pairs of eyes stared at him, Zhao Wuben's sideburns were already slightly sweaty, he took the fifth arrow, took a deep breath, and threw the copper arrow with a wave of his hand, and at the moment when the copper arrow was thrown, Li Yanqing knew that the arrow was missed, and the power was out of balance.

Sure enough, just listen to 'When!' With a bang, the arrow hit the mouth of the bottle and fell to the ground, causing a regretful boo around, Zhao Wuben looked at his female companion apologetically, he had done his best.

His female companion was not angry, ran early to hold a pair of celadon vases in his arms, and smiled so much that his mouth could not close, this is the best official kiln celadon, worth six hundred yuan, the two did not have the heart to vote again, so they went downstairs side by side.

The next two women didn't hit, and they ran to the back and continued to line up, and finally it was Li Yanqing's turn.

The steward smiled and asked, "Is Yanai self-voting or helping to vote?" ”

Li Yanqing smiled and pointed to the Cao sisters behind him, "I'll help them each vote once, is it okay?" ”

"But you can, but I want to make the rules clear, if you vote once, you can vote again, you can vote twice, and you can't vote again."

"I know!"

The steward handed Li Yanqing a copper arrow, which was a standard copper kettle arrow, about seven inches long and weighing eight taels, and it felt very good. With a precise sound into the pot, the Cao sisters' eyes burst out with surprise, and the steward also exclaimed, "It's amazing!" ”

He simply handed the remaining four arrows to Li Yanqing, Li Yanqing smiled slightly, the copper arrows in his hands flew out like beaded arrows, and the remaining arrows were all thrown into the copper kettle, he clapped his hands lightly, and said with a smile: "Is the jackpot counted?" ”

The steward was stunned, and asked in a half-loud voice, "May I ask your surname?" ”

"In Xia Li Yanqing, my name is not on the no-shot list."

"Ahh It turned out to be Li Tanhua, count! Count! ”

The steward hurriedly took the jackpot scroll and handed it to Li Yanqing, "Congratulations to Li Tanhua." ”

Li Yanqing smiled and handed the scroll to Cao Yun, Cao Yun took the scroll excitedly, the smile on her face was more gorgeous than the peach blossom, she was very grateful in her heart, and said in a low voice: "Thank you, Brother Li!" ”

At this time, the later people found that the jackpot was gone, and suddenly there was an exclamation, and many people were at a loss, and they didn't see the person in front of them at all, how could they take away the jackpot?

Li Yanqing saw that there was still a pair of celadon vases, so he asked Cao Yundao with a smile: "Now you can choose, do you want a celadon vase or a pair of butterfly golden hairpins?" ”

Cao Yun looked at it for a while and said, "I still want to fight the butterfly!" ”

She has no shortage of porcelain vases, but she likes the pair of Kingdee hairpins very much, this pair of Kingdee is not cheap, three hundred and fifty yuan a pair, for the women of the family, although their families are rich, but they will only get such expensive jewelry when they get married.

Li Yanqing said to the steward: "Give me three more arrows!" ”

There is not only one jackpot in the pot throwing competition, as long as the award standard can be met, there will be valuable prizes, so Li Yanqing took away the jackpot and aimed at the third prize, everyone did not object, but they were very envious of the Cao sisters, and someone actually helped them take away the expensive prizes.

At this time, the men who participated in the long-range shooting also came over to watch the battle, these dozens of young men are all children of strong martial arts families, most of them are guards in the palace, of course they know Li Yanqing's name, although Li Yanqing's participation in the shooting is not very reasonable, but no one said anything, and they did not violate the rules, and the Pan family can only blame the Pan family for not putting Li Yan's name in the list of prohibited shots.

Li Yanqing took the three arrows and smiled at the Cao sisters: "I'll play a fancy pitcher!" ”

Cao Yun pursed her lips and smiled, "Don't miss it, Ah Yun will cry." ”

"Nonsense, I won't cry, at most I will stomp my feet!"

Cao Yun was very curious, "How is Brother Li going to throw a fancy pot?" ”

"Look!"

Li Yanqing threw three arrows at the same time, this trick is called 'Three Swallows Homecoming', which is a classic style in the pot throwing, and it must have extremely clever skills to succeed, and there was an exclamation all around.

The force of the three arrows was not the same, and after a zhang, the distance was widened, and I saw that the three arrows flew into the copper kettle one after another like three golden milk swallows.

There was a round of applause all around, Cao Yun cheered, and ran over early to snatch a pair of Kingdee hairpins into his hands.

Li Yanqing bowed to everyone again, and Cao Xing laughed loudly next to him: "Yanqing come and try a long shot!" Let's see if we can take the sword away too. ”

At this moment, a deep voice came from a distance, "How can an ordinary sword make Li Tanhua make a move?" ”
