Li Mi shook his head and said, "Nominally she is already your wife, Tang Guogong will not trouble you because of this matter, look at Miss Li's eyes, I can't hide my affection for you, don't be negative." ”

Yang Xuangan's heart moved, but in an instant, a beautiful shadow of the red whisk appeared in front of him, he sighed, and said softly: "The red whisk is also in Songzhou now, at this time, you must not let Miss Li go over, it will be a big mistake." ”

Li Mi was shocked when he heard this: "Is this serious? ”

Yang Xuangan nodded, glanced at Chai Shao, who followed Li Xiuning into the distance, and said, "It's true, does Brother Xian remember that Brother Fool wants to establish his own intelligence network in Songzhou, who else does he rely on if he doesn't rely on the red whisk?" ”

Li Mi slapped his head and sighed: "I was negligent!"

Li Mi paused, looked at Chai Xiaohe in the distance, and suddenly asked, "Big brother, who do you think the two of them can win in archery?" ”

Yang Xuangan's eyes focused on the two people who were standing dozens of steps away and began to draw their bows to prepare, observed them, and said, "I haven't seen Brother Chai's archery skills, how is it better than your brother Wang Bodang?" ”

Li Mi said with a smile: "Chai Shao and Bodang are often competing in archery when they are in the East Palace, although they are slightly inferior to Bodang, but they are also rare marksmen, I heard Bodang say that his bow of three stones and two points was handed down by his grandfather when he was the general of the Northern Zhou Hussars, and if you want to pull it away, it takes 600 catties of strength to do it. ”

Yang Xuangan looked at Li Xiuning's action of pulling the bow, and frowned: "I have seen Miss Li's kung fu immediately, and her martial arts are very good, even in the army, you can at least rely on your ability to be above the deputy general." But I haven't seen her shoot an arrow. However, I heard that Tang Guogong's archery skills are superb. Presumably, this tiger girl will not be bad!"

Yang Xuangan's gaze fell on the agarwood bow in Li Xiuning's hand, nodded while looking at it, and said: "The workmanship of this bow is extremely exquisite, the streamline, recurve, and grip of the bow body are all the works of connoisseurs, and the bowstring is pulled up with the faint sound of the golden iron dragon." ”

"As soon as Miss Li loosened the string just now, she immediately played it straight, and I don't know what kind of magical material it was mixed with. I'm afraid that although this bow doesn't seem to have the strength of Brother Chai, it can also rely on materials and skills to make up for the shortcomings, and the range and accuracy should be able to fight with Brother Chai's three-stone strong bow. ”

Li Mi looked at it quietly and said, "I didn't expect that there were so many doorways with this bow and arrow." Today, I can see two sharpshooters competing against each other, which can be regarded as an eye-opener. ”

Yang Xuangan smiled and walked towards the two people standing fifty steps away, at this time Zhao Huaiyi and Xiao Er of the tea stall also surrounded them, and many pedestrians passing by saw that there were people here to compare arrows, and they also stopped to watch. At the moment when Yang Xuangan and Li Mi were talking, there were already dozens of people gathered around.

Yang Xuangan walked between the two. looked at Chai Shao, and saw that he had also put away the crazy look he had just now.

As the saying goes: as soon as an expert makes a move, he knows if there is one. Chai Shao's face changed when he first saw Li Xiuning's longbow, and then when he saw her opening the bow and arrows, he immediately saw that the other party was also a master, so he put away his heart of contempt for the enemy, his eyes narrowed slightly, and the whole person began to concentrate on it.

Yang Xuangan looked at Li Xiuning again, but found that her face at this time was extremely calm, and she couldn't see joy, anger and sorrow, but the whole person was very relaxed, and she tied a purple soft pocket around her waist to protect her waist muscles when she opened the bow and used her waist strength.

Li Xiuning's left hand held the bow of the agarwood bow, but on his back was an arrow bag, which contained thirty long-rod wolf tooth arrows, and the tail of the arrow inserted in Yan Ling was exposed outside the bag, and with a warm spring breeze, a few white feather arrows shook slightly.

Yang Xuan said: "How are you going to compare the method?" ”

Chai Shao said in a deep voice: "Naturally, it is more accurate and powerful than archery, she is a woman, I don't take advantage of her, and it is not better than continuous shooting, because that consumes arm strength, and one arrow determines the winner." ”

Li Xiuning pouted and said, "I don't need you to let me, I shoot and shoot, what are you good at, this girl will compare with you, let you be convinced!"

Yang Xuangan raised his hand to stop the two from continuing to argue, and said: "No need to argue, since I am here to preside over this competition, just listen to me, only shoot one arrow, Brother Chai shoots first, and Miss Li shoots later." ”

Yang Xuangan said and took out a copper coin from his arms, about an inch square, there was a perforation with a diameter of only three or four minutes in the middle of the front, and a seal script was written on the left side of the perforation, and there was a vertical line on the right side of the perforation.

This copper coin, called the Five Baht Coin, is the standard coin that was forced to circulate nationwide in the fifth year of the Emperor's reign after Yang Jian abolished the private coinage of the Northern Zhou Dynasty and the Northern Qi Dynasty.

Yang Xuangan shook the money in front of the two of them, and said: "This money is only an inch square, and those who can shoot at a hundred steps away are all archers, both of them are masters, so let's use this to compete, and put these two coins eighty steps away in a while, and you each shoot an arrow to fight the competition, how about it?" ”

Chai Shao glanced at Li Xiuning beside him, and said proudly: "No problem!"

Li Xiuning snorted softly in his nose and asked rhetorically, "Does Yang Gongzi look down on me?" Why don't you put this money a hundred steps away? And only eighty steps? ”

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar around, many pedestrians originally came to see the excitement, and when they saw that it was a strong man with a tiger's back and a delicate and stunning men's beauty competing in archery, they originally sympathized with Li Xiuning psychologically, that is, there were many prodigal sons who just wanted to eat and be beautiful at first, and they all applauded together after hearing Li Xiuning's words, and said "good" in unison!

Chai Shao looked at the eyes of the people around him, gritted his teeth, and said, "A hundred steps is a hundred steps, are you still afraid of you?" ”

Yang Xuangan smiled slightly, stroked on the ground with his foot, pulled out a line from where the two of them stood, and then took his hands behind him, and walked up according to the standard steps, he was a martial artist since elementary school, and the step length was exactly the same, and the score was exactly the same, although the pedestrians around him did not know Yang Xuangan, but seeing such an iron tower-like man walking was so chic and accurate, he couldn't help but cheer.

Yang Xuangan walked a hundred steps away, and took two branches in his hand that were broken off on the roadside tree when he came over just now. Shoved into the ground. Then the perforations of the two copper coins were hung on the branch at the other end of the branch. Straighten up, step aside, and shout to the two people a hundred paces away, "It's time to start!"

Chai Shao shouted: "I'll come first." ”

He pulled his horse away, and with a deep shout of "open", he immediately drew his bow like a full moon, and a long-pole wolf's tooth arrow also attached to his side face, and rested on the bowstring that was fully drawn, and even people with bows were like Ning Yue stagnant abyss. There was no movement at all, only the breeze blowing slightly on his black belt.

There are many pedestrians who have been on the battlefield as soldiers, looking at the strength of Chai Shao's bow, and then looking at the frame of his bow, they all cheered in unison, and Chai Shao's ears could not hear any sound, he squinted his eyes slightly, and closed his right eye against the tail of the arrow, and in the slit of the left eye, the copper coin a hundred steps away was so clear.

Chai Shao aims at the established. With a loud shout of "go", his fingers loosened. The arrow is like a meteor, out of the string, steadily running towards the copper coin in the distance, only to hear the sound of "ding", the copper coin hanging on the branch was hit by the feather arrow, and flew out of more than ten steps at once before falling to the ground.

Many spectators standing behind Chai Shao and on the side didn't see clearly what was happening a hundred steps away, Yang Xuangan smiled slightly, took two steps forward, picked up the copper coin that was half shot and changed shape, curled up, held it high in his hand, and shouted with full anger: "Brother Chai is good at archery, one arrow hits!"

Chai Shao breathed a sigh of relief, his face showed a smug expression, usually he can shoot the bullseye of about ninety steps very steadily, and the approximate size is also like this copper coin, but if it is a hundred steps away, five out of ten arrows are to shoot outside the bull's-eye, and this arrow is hitting the copper coin, which can be regarded as playing his highest level in his usual life, so he looked at Li Xiuning's eyes were also full of complacency.

Li Xiuning smiled slightly, clapped his hands unhurriedly, and said, "This Brother Chai's archery skills are really good, and the little woman admires it." ”

Chai Shao smiled "hehe" and said: "Iron still needs to be hard, if Chai Mou's subordinates don't have two brushes, they won't let go of that kind of wild talk!" Miss Li, these are not your daughter's play, it's better to retreat in the face of difficulties, so as not to make people see jokes. ”

Li Xiuning pursed her lips and smiled, a pair of beautiful eyes turned into a pair of crescents, she scratched her nose, and said: "I said that you are a person, you are not ashamed, you are really fat, shame face, don't forget, this girl has not made a move yet, and after this girl makes a move, it will not be too late for you to be crazy." ”

Chai Shao was stunned for a moment, then laughed, he pointed to Li Xiuning's bow, and said, "Miss Li, although you have a bit of skill and can pull this bow away, archery is to be practiced all day long, not as simple as you think!"

"I can take back that woman's useless words, you are indeed good at kung fu, but compared with real battlefield men, it is still not good, just go back and marry a good man as soon as possible, how bad it is to give people guidance here."

Li Xiuning's pretty face flew over a burst of red clouds, and then became cold, and when she turned around, she no longer looked at Chai Shao, and said while walking forward: "Brother Chai, this girl will let you open your eyes today." ”

Li Xiuning walked forward more than 20 steps in the midst of everyone's ear-to-ear conversations, and walked straight to her white jade lion skull, supported the saddle with the jade palm, took a deep breath, jumped directly on the horse's back, and sat firmly on the saddle.

Li Xiuning raised the big bow with his left hand, poked out from the quiver with his right hand, took out a long-rod wolf tooth arrow, put it on the arrow string, and clamped the lion skull under the crotch with his legs.

At the moment when the horse's hooves crossed the line, Li Xiuning, who had already drawn the big bow on the horse, loosened his fingers, and the wolf's tooth arrow left the string with the sound of the whistling wind.

Yang Xuangan looked at the direction of the arrow, his face turned pale, and he secretly screamed "not good" in his heart, and before he could think about how to deal with it, the arrow with a terrible cry, suddenly passed through the perforation in the middle of the five-baht coin hanging on the branch, and flew out of more than ten steps with the copper coin, and nailed it to a willow tree behind with a "tuk".

Chai Shao was so shocked that his jaw was about to fall to the ground, and he couldn't even hear the thunderous cheers from the crowd, and a voice in his heart was shouting: "How is this possible?" How is this possible? ”

Yang Xuangan is bright in his heart, he is an expert in archery. As soon as Li Xiuning made a move, he knew the power of this arrow. The speed and stability are all above Chai Shao's arrow just now.

Li Xiuning's bow is exquisite. But after all, it is not as powerful as Chai Shao's three-stone strong bow, and she can't shoot a hundred steps with a normal flat bow, but she cleverly chose to ride a horse and shoot it, using the horse's momentum and speed to drive the speed of the arrow.

The so-called layman looks at the lively, and the insider looks at the doorway, and those who don't know how to do it seem that Li Xiuning used mounted archery, which is even more rare. She could shoot so accurately and so far on a galloping horse, obviously better than Chai Shao.

But Yang Xuangan knew that if he only talked about static archery, he was afraid that Li Xiuning would not even be able to shoot the copper coin a hundred steps away, let alone pierce it.

But then again, Li Xiuning's riding skills are really outstanding, he can not move at all on a galloping horse, aiming, drawing a bow, and shooting in one go, even if Yang Xuangan himself. It is only possible to do this at a distance of about one hundred and forty paces at the moment.

From this point of view, Li Xiuning is really worthy of being a descendant of Li Guang, who is famous for his riding and shooting. From the daughter to know her father, it can be seen that Li Yuan's peacock opened the screen back then, and killing two birds with one stone is true.

Yang Xuangan's mind was also blank, what he was most worried about became a reality, Chai Shao actually lost to Li Xiuning, then he could only take Li Xiuning to Songzhou as promised, how to deal with the relationship and reputation of the two along the way, let's not talk about it, what should I do where Hongfu is? How much movement will the two women make when they meet and become jealous? Will it cause big problems for the whole family? The question marks were one after another, and Yang Xuangan didn't dare to think downward.

A gust of fragrant wind wafted by, Yang Xuangan suddenly realized that Li Xiuning was close to him, he hurriedly looked up, and saw Li Xiuning, who was riding a white jade lion, with a proud face, looking at himself with a light smile, waving the longbow in his hand, and a little smug in his voice: "Uncle Yang, you are the referee, now let's talk about who won?" ”

Yang Xuangan raised his eyes and looked around, and found that everyone was looking at him a hundred steps away, Li Mi had a stern face, and he was shaking his head gently, signaling that he must not declare Li Xiuning the winner; And Chai Shao looked depressed, kneeling on one knee, also shaking his head, still unable to accept the current result; As for the onlookers-by, they cheered for Li Xiuning one after another.

Yang Xuangan sighed secretly, he cleared his throat, and said loudly: "This time in the competition, it was Miss Li who won!"

There was a burst of cheers from the crowd, and Li Xiuning smiled from ear to ear, sat on his horse, and greeted the passers-by in the distance again and again.

Yang Xuangan didn't care about Li Xiuning, who was being proud, and walked towards Chai Shao without looking back, the smile on Li Xiuning's face froze suddenly, she bit her lip fiercely, clamped the white jade lion skull between her legs, caught up with Yang Xuangan, and said, "Stop, why are you leaving?" ”

Yang Xuangan didn't look back, and said coldly: "The girl is good at archery, Yang has opened her eyes, but I still ask you to be forgiving and forgiving." As the saying goes, be a man and leave a line, and see each other in the future, today the girl wins, and the Chai brothers will ask the girl for advice another day, let's say goodbye today. ”

Li Xiuning was so angry that she jumped off the horse directly, and rushed in front of Yang Xuangan with an arrow step, tears flashed in her beautiful big eyes, and she almost cried, she asked in a trembling voice: "You, are you really so ruthless?" ”

The pedestrians in the distance stopped cheering one by one, stretched their necks and looked here, and some good people began to guess the relationship between Yang Xuangan and Li Xiuning.

Li Mi saw that the momentum was not right, and immediately waved at the pedestrians with Zhao Huaiyi, saying that it was some family affairs between the young couple, and no one should be disturbed, which made the pedestrians who watched the excitement disperse one after another.

Yang Xuan sighed and said, "Come with me." After speaking, he walked towards a maple forest on the side of the road, while Li Xiuning wiped his eyes and shouted to the strong man in black from a distance: "Wait for me here!" Then he angrily followed Yang Xuangan into the maple forest.

After walking into the woods for more than fifty steps, and being sure that there would be no one within fifty steps around, Yang Xuangan stopped, slowly turned his head to face Li Xiuning, and said calmly: "Miss Li, you followed Yang all the way from Luoyang, what is the matter?" ”

A red cloud flew over Li Xiuning's face, stomped his feet, and said, "Knowingly ask!" Yang Xuangan, we have already been engaged, and you have already gone to the door, so naturally I will go wherever you go!"

Yang Xuangan shook his head and said, "Miss Li, I was defeated by you that day, and I didn't bring you back to the door, which made everyone laugh." Another day, when my injury is healed, I will come to the door to ask for advice, but before that, if Miss Li follows Yang around, it seems that something is wrong. ”

Li Xiuning stomped her foot fiercely, her two beautiful willow eyebrows almost turned into an inverted figure, and she roared in a low voice: "Yang Xuangan, are you pretending to be crazy and stupid or do you want to get married?" You know that the door-to-door competition is just a formality, and I, Li Xiuning, will be your person sooner or later, so you still want to say this kind of thing to me? ”

Yang Xuan sighed: "Miss Li, do you really not know why Tang Guogong married my family?" ”

Li Xiuning was slightly stunned at first, then pursed her lips and said: "I heard my mother say that the relationship between the emperor and our family is not very good, but the Duke of Yue Guo is a product of the dynasty, an important minister in the court, and marrying your family is good for our family." ”

Yang Xuan said with a straight face: "But did your mother tell you that now Tang Guogong has been reused as the Xingyang Thorn History, which means that the emperor will be very blue-eyed to him in the future, and there is no need to support his family by guò marriage?" (To be continued......)
