The queen saw that the emperor's eyes had not completely receded, so she was worried that the emperor would have murderous intent at this time, the sun was shining and the flowers were fragrant, and killing people at this time in this kind of place was not a good thing after all.

The queen has been with the emperor for almost 30 years, the emperor's temperament is naturally very understanding, when the southern conquest and the northern war, the emperor has a very deep murderous spirit in his bones, the army is very strict, after the establishment of the country, his bloodthirsty nature has not changed, but it will not kill people for no reason, but the older he gets, the emperor's killing intent has not weakened because of the passage of time, but has become more and more murderous.

Although the queen sometimes persuades hard, once the emperor starts to kill, even the queen can't stop it.

Today's ministers gathered in the Iron Blood Garden, the queen really didn't want to see the emperor kill people on such an occasion, she knew that if it was the emperor who was in a bad mood, Gao Huai's words today must have been splashed with blood five steps, fortunately, the emperor was in a good mood today, and held back the killing intent for a while, the queen was only afraid that this killing intent would not disperse, and hurriedly asked Zhou Ting: "Lord Zhou, what kind of doorway is this arrow?" ”

She wanted to divert the emperor's attention and no longer bother with Fang Cai's affairs.

The emperor's attention seemed to have really been brought over, and he looked at Zhou Ting and said, "Yes, Zhou Ting, how did you arrange this comparison of arrows?" ”

Zhou Ting hurriedly said: "Returning to the saint and the queen's mother, the minister has thought that if he just shoots the target, he may not be able to show the subtlety of archery." The minister still remembers that when the saint practiced archery, he never practiced the dead target, but practiced with beasts, birds and birds as live targets, which led to the practice of unparalleled archery. ”

When the emperor heard Zhou Ting say this, the last killing intent in his eyes disappeared, and he said with a smile: "Zhou Ting, it turns out that you still remember." Yes, I practice archery, and I never have to kill a target! His old face glowed, and he seemed to be much younger.

In the eyes of the emperor, Zhou Ting is not a person who can pat on the back, Zhou Ting speaks quite sincerely, today Zhou Ting suddenly mentioned the emperor's archery, and his words have the meaning of praise, which makes the emperor suddenly very happy, after all, as long as it is a person, they are willing to listen to some good words, not to mention that what Zhou Ting said is also the emperor's pride, not a boast, say it in public, so that the emperor's mood is happy.

In fact, Zhou Ting's purpose in saying this was also to see that the emperor had murderous intent, so he used this method to eliminate the emperor's murderous aura.

"Yes, Zhou Aiqing, is it still up to Ma Zhongheng and Chu Huan to compete with each other?" The Emperor asked.

Zhou Ting hurriedly said: "Ma Zhongheng's equestrian skills are not bad, but his archery skills are ordinary, and if he wants to test Chu Huan, Ma Zhongheng still can't succeed." ”

"And who are you going to put on this role?"

"Xuanyuan Shengcai!" Zhou Ting said immediately.

The emperor let out an "oh" and said, "I thought you were going to pass Xuanyuan Shao over to compare arrows!" ”

"Xuanyuan is the commander of the Imperial City today, and he is on official business, so he has not been present today." Zhou Ting smiled and said, "But even if Commander Xuanyuan arrives, he won't be able to work him." He said in a deep voice: "Where is Xuanyuan Shengcai?" ”

A military general had already come out of the crowd and said respectfully: "General! ”

Xuanyuan Sheng was less than thirty years old, with dark skin, a long face, and an ordinary appearance, but he had a heroic spirit, and after seeing the ceremony, he looked at Chu Huan with a calm expression.

When Chu Huan heard that this person's surname was Xuanyuan, he knew that this person had some relationship with Xuanyuan Shao, at least a member of the same clan.

Zhou Ting said: "Xuanyuan Wuwei's archery skills are personally guided by Xuanyuan Commander, and it is quite a small success, and it is a good touchstone, I implore the Holy Lord to allow Xuanyuan Wuwei to go into battle!" ”

The emperor stroked his beard and said: "Xuanyuan Shengcai, your cousin Xuanyuan Shao's archery skills are superb, you learn arrows with him, can you learn fur?" ”

Xuanyuan Shengcai said respectfully: "The commander's archery skills are exquisite, and the generals are only scratching the surface. ”

The emperor smiled: "You have also seen Chu Huan's equestrian skills, you compete with him in archery, if you win, I will give you a hundred taels of gold, and then give you an official promotion, what do you think?" ”

Xuanyuan Shengcai immediately said gratefully: "The ministers will thank the saint." ”

"Don't be in a hurry Xie Zhen first!" The emperor smiled: "Whether you can get a reward or not depends on your ability." ”

An Guogong sat next to him, very quiet, hearing this, the corners of his eyes twitched slightly, and no one saw it.

Zhou Ting said: "The rules of the arrow competition are also very simple, Xuanyuan Shengcai and Chu Huan both use two stone hard skills, each person only has three arrows, and the pigeons will be released later, after the two of you shoot three arrows, whoever shoots the most pigeons will win!" ”

Chu Huan and Xuanyuan Shengcai said in unison: "Yes! ”

The tensile force of the two-stone hard bow is already very large, and the bows and arrows used by ordinary soldiers are usually one-stone hard bows, compared with one-stone hard bows, the distance shot by two-stone hard bows is naturally much farther, but the strength consumed is also far greater than that of one-stone hard bows.

The two hard bows were ready, each equipped with three feather arrows, Xuanyuan Shengcai's arrows were tied with white silk threads, while Chu Huan's was red thin threads, which was also to distinguish the owners of the arrows later.

Both of them picked up the bow and arrow, tried it, Xuanyuan Shengcai looked calm, occasionally glanced at Chu Huan's side, and met Chu Huan's eyes, but he smiled very gently, but he seemed very polite, he seemed calm, but his eyes were full of confidence, obviously he was bound to win this competition.

In public to compare arrows, Xuanyuan Shengcai's archery skills are learned from Xuanyuan Shao, who will go all out even if it is not for the reward promised by the emperor, but to maintain the prestige of Xuanyuan Shao and the family name of the Xuanyuan family.

The three cages containing the pigeons had been lifted to the field, and the guards stood on the edge of the cages, standing solemnly, waiting for the order to open the pigeons.

The crowd was already whispering.

"Xuanyuan Wuwei has been following Xuanyuan to learn arrows for four or five years, there are no weak soldiers under the strong generals, and they are cousins, this Xuanyuan Wuwei's archery skills must be amazing, Chu Huan was unknown before, is he really good at archery?"

"The first battle wins, and the second team will always have to suffer a little." Immediately, someone lowered his voice and said, "Zhou Nayan arranged for Xuanyuan Wuwei to go out into battle, perhaps to suppress Chu Huan's arrogance. ”

"I heard that this Chu Huan was promoted by His Royal Highness King Qi, and the kung fu under his hands is really good, Zhou Nayan should want to try Chu Huan's real kung fu, only an archer like Xuanyuan Wuwei can try Chu Huan's true ability."

"Look, they've drawn their bows!"

In the field, Chu Huan and Xuanyuan Shengcai had already picked up the first arrow, bent their bows and arrows, and were ready.

Zhou Ting saw that the surroundings were quiet, so he nodded over there, and the guard stepped forward, pulled open the wooden buckle on the cage, and then drove forward with both hands, and the five pigeons in the cage immediately flew out of the cage and flew into the sky.

Chu Huan and Xuanyuan Sheng glanced at each other, and then looked at the sky at the same time, Chu Huan squinted his eyes, calmed down, looked at a pigeon, no longer hesitated, the bow was full of strings, the fingers were released, and the arrow "whoosh" had already broken through the air, cutting through the air.

This arrow is extremely fast, full of strength, straight towards a pigeon, in the air, suddenly next to the arrow burst, Xuanyuan Shengcai has also shot, its arrow is like lightning, extremely fast.

Just when Chu Huan's arrow was about to shoot the pigeon, he heard a sound of empty "click", and the bow and arrow shot by Chu Huan suddenly split into two and became two, the original target was accurate, but at this moment the arrow had changed direction and fell weakly.

Chu Huan was taken aback.

Although there was lightning and flint, Chu Huan clearly saw that the arrow shot by Xuanyuan Sheng was actually shooting his own arrow in mid-air, and the castration was unabated, and after shooting his arrow, he actually moved forward with great strength and penetrated the body of a pigeon on the line.

Xuanyuan Sheng only succeeded with one shot, his longbow was slightly loose, he turned his head, looked at Chu Huan, with a smug smile on his face, and he didn't know whether it was etiquette or showing off, and nodded slightly to Chu Huan.

Although Chu Huan was surprised, he smiled on his face: "Xuanyuan Wuwei is good at archery!" ”

This is indeed a good archery.

Xuanyuan Shengcai shot Chu Huan's arrow with one arrow, and he was also able to shoot a pigeon, which must judge the route of Chu Huan's arrow in the shortest possible time, and also judge the degree of Chu Huan's arrow, while determining the position of Chu Huan's arrow, he also had to predict whether he could shoot a pigeon on the same line after breaking Chu Huan's arrow.

Although it seems to be an understatement, an arrow seems to be easy to come by, but without enough archery background and without being familiar with the control of bows and arrows, it is impossible to shoot such an arrow with such an effect.

The guards who inspected over there had already reported the results loudly: "Chu Huan's arrow, since it was shot, Xuanyuan Shengcai's arrow, shoot a pigeon!" ”

The clear-eyed people were immediately amazed, and hurriedly asked before they understood, and after knowing the scene that had just happened, they were also amazed, and they couldn't help but look at Xuanyuan Shengcai, and many people's eyes were full of admiration.

The emperor also chuckled to the empress: "Empress, Xuanyuan Shao is good at archery, you know, now it seems that the Xuanyuan clan has another marksman." ”

The queen smiled, year after year, but this smile was still infinitely amorous, and said softly: "Xuanyuan Shengcai's archery technique is certainly good, but compared to the archery method of the saint, it is still far away. ”

The emperor smiled and said, "I am old, and my archery skills are not as good as before. Then his eyes lit up, and he said softly: "But don't worry, the queen will slowly become younger, and I will regain the courage of the past, and when I am done, I will take you out to hunt!" ”

The empress knew that the emperor's so-called "great success" meant cultivating the Tao and seeking immortality, but she was helpless, but she could only smile and nod.

Xuanyuan Shengcai took the lead, shot an arrow, and already shot a pigeon, which was one point ahead of Chu Huan, at this time, it can be said that he was in the limelight, the scenery was infinite, and Chu Huan seemed to have become his foil.
