The venue immediately began to discuss, and King Qi also raised his eyebrows, wanting to see how things developed.

Xiang Chonghua hesitated for a moment, and walked to Liu Xiwei to ask for instructions. Liu Xiwei bowed under the high platform of King Qi and said loudly: "Everything is decided by my father!" ”

King Qi stroked his beard with great interest and said, "Since the warriors under the two princes' tents are unwilling, then the victory will be decided." He held up the last golden arrow and said, "The victor will not only receive this arrow, but will also be free to enter and leave the palace with this arrow." As for how to determine the winner, the widow will allow you to agree on it yourself. ”

Xiang Chonghua and the samurai both stepped on their horses and returned to the center of the venue. The warrior said in a loud voice: "The warriors of my Qi Kingdom practice hard riding and archery just to kill the enemy on the battlefield, but the sword on the battlefield is ruthless, and the enemy will never stay like a target waiting for arrows." It is better for you and me to each hold ten sharp arrows, and whoever shoots the other first will be the winner. Life and death at your own risk! ”

The audience exploded, and they were obviously shocked by this fateful comparison.

Liu Xiqiu showed a sneer on his face, and Da Sima leisurely talked about the weather with the attendant next to him. Qin Fei looked at Xiang Chonghua, who was bound to win, and said in his heart: "Chonghua's physical strength is amazing, even if he plays one after another, he doesn't show tiredness. With his strength, accuracy, and the ability to anticipate the enemy's opportunities cultivated by Xuanwu Tan's martial arts, even if the other party has a hundred sharp arrows, it is not worth mentioning. But why is the Prince's Mansion so confident? Do they really not even have the eyesight to do so? ”

The warrior stretched out his hand and drew an arrow, and said in a loud voice, "Strong man, please!" Without waiting for Xiang Chonghua to respond, he shot at Xiang Chonghua fiercely.

Xiang Chonghua crouched on the horse's back, and shot an arrow from his backhand, which just grazed the other party's shoulder and cut through the armor.

The atmosphere of the audience was burned to the highest point, and everyone looked at the unprecedented life-and-death battle in this riding shooting range, and they all raised their sleeves and cheered and shouted.

The samurai knew that his strength was far inferior to Xiang Chonghua, so he used the advantage of his mount's foot strength to attack from time to time, from left to right. Although Xiang Chonghua's physical strength was victorious, the horse under his crotch had been galloping continuously for too long after all, and his reaction was not fast enough, so he could only dodge the arrow by sensing the changes in the opponent's airflow. After the four arrows were fired, there was no damage on either side, but the samurai had begun to gasp slightly. He glared at Xiang Chonghua fiercely, and he didn't mean to admit defeat at all.

Xiang Chonghua couldn't help but be in awe, and said in his heart: "Until the last resort, you must not hurt his life." ”

The warrior scolded, his legs clamped and rushed over, the first arrow pointed directly at Xiang Chonghua's arm, Xiang Chonghua avoided to the left, but he had fired two arrows in a row like lightning, as if all Xiang Chonghua's retreat had been blocked. Fortunately, Xiang Chonghua rolled over to the horse's back in time.

But I heard a mournful cry coming from the horse's mouth. The warrior unexpectedly fired two arrows in succession, hitting Xiang Chonghua's horse. Blood kept pouring out from the horse's neck, but the horse seemed to be infected by Xiang Chonghua's winning heart, and tried his best to hold back the last strength and refused to fall.

Xiang Chonghua roared angrily, raised his bow and shot down the arrows that came over, and glared at the warrior with red eyes: "You return my horse's life." ”

The warrior couldn't help but shudder, the momentum of seeing death as if he was at home disappeared in an instant, his wrist shook violently, and the last arrow in his hand was actually shot down by Xiang Chonghua's arrow, and the hot pain almost surged to his heart.

Xiang Chonghua raised his bow and arrow high, aiming at his left arm, he hurriedly endured the pain and turned to the right, but Xiang Chonghua's arrow suddenly turned in a direction, shot to the right, and just narrowly dodged, two arrows came one after another, and the arrows in the back came first, aiming at his chest.

The samurai dodged in a panic, only to find that the arrow fired first had been touched by the arrow that came later, and had changed direction, and if he wanted to dodge it without damage, he had to stretch out his arms to block it. The violent impact slammed into his body, knocking the whole person directly to the ground, and the mask covering his face also fell to the side. The horse under Xiang Chonghua's crotch finally couldn't support it anymore and fell to the ground. Xiang Chonghua's eyes were red as he stared at the warrior who was trembling with his arms in his arms, and pressed towards him step by step.

Everyone was also photographed by Xiang Chonghua's momentum, and they didn't even dare to come out of the atmosphere, and the whole venue could hear the needle falling.

Wei Qianxue stared at the warrior's face distorted by pain, almost screamed, hurriedly covered her mouth, quickly grabbed Qin Fei's sleeve, and said in a low voice: "I remembered!" This samurai is the new Mei Ji of the Prince's Mansion, hurry, stop Brother Hua! ”

Qin Fei ran away, and said loudly to Xiang Chonghua while running: "Brother Hua, don't be reckless!" Keep people under the arrow! ”

Xiang Chonghua's arrow was already between his fingers, aimed directly at the warrior's forehead, hearing Qin Fei's shout, he was suddenly stunned, the bowstring was suddenly released, and with a turn of his busy arm, the arrow shot diagonally at the warrior's head.

The samurai shrunk in screams, his helmet was brought to the ground by an arrow, his shiny bun was wiped to pieces, and the hairpin flowers fell to the ground. Everyone was stunned when they saw that the warrior who was still heroic suddenly turned into a pitiful beauty, and even the master of ceremonies came back to his senses for a long time, and hurriedly gave an order, and the drum beat at the end, and the victory and defeat were divided.

Liu Xisui strode forward, bowed down under the high platform and said, "Please forgive my father for the crime of bullying the king." ”

The warrior beauty also got up, kneeled forward and said: "This matter is all because the slave family admires the king too much, so he makes his own opinion, and it has nothing to do with the prince. Please, the king, condemn him. ”

King Qi stared at her tightly with a look of lust and soul, and said softly: "Just to look at the widow, do you dare not even want your life?" ”

The beauty raised her beautiful face, her charming eyes and delicate cherry lips looked even more seductive under the cover of her messy black hair, and then she lowered her head and said shyly: "If you can get the favor of the king, the slave family will have no regrets even if she dies." ”

Liu Xiqiu glanced at Xiang Chonghua, who was stupidly staying in place, and Liu Xiwei, who had a heavy face, with a smug expression, and Da Sima stroked his beard and smiled.

Qin Fei secretly sighed and miscalculated, and said in his heart: "No wonder Liu Xi is fearless. If they win, they can not only get golden arrows, but also generously send beautiful women. Even if the Yingyang Monarch's Mansion is in the limelight, with this beauty blowing the wind on King Qi's pillow, the Prince's Mansion will not suffer. If defeated, ninety percent of the beauties will die under Xiang Chonghua's arrows, and the lustful King Qi will definitely hate Xiang Chonghua when he sees the tragic death of the stunning beauty he was going to give to himself, Yingyangjun has to give up Xiang Chonghua so as not to be angry, but in this way, Yingyangjun will definitely be greatly injured. In short, no matter what, from the moment that beauty appeared, the Prince's Mansion was already invincible. ”

Liu Xiwei suppressed his anger, stepped forward with a humble face, and saluted: "Xiwei is really ashamed of her abrupt beauty. Imperial Doctor Chen has a plaster for treating abrasions, if the girl's injuries are not serious, can Xi Wei personally escort the wounds? However, if the injury is serious, it is better to go to Imperial Doctor Zhou. ”

The warrior beauty was stunned for a moment, and King Qi immediately said: "Mrs. Zhou's medicine has always been fierce, but it is just a bruise, so I still look for Mrs. Chen." Let Xiwei handle it. ”

Qin Feixin said: "Imperial Physician Chen, as the personal imperial physician, the military tent is next to the king's tent, and sending the beauty over is tantamount to sending it directly to King Qi." And Imperial Physician Zhou is dissatisfied with King Qi's confidant of the Queen Mother, who is obsessed with women, and if the beauty passes, it is likely to be directly detained by the Queen Mother. Yingyangjun reacted quickly. In this way, it is equivalent to making King Qi admit that the beauty is only slightly injured, and the prince's plan to accuse Yingyang Junfu of seriously injuring the beauty has failed. And he asked to personally escort the beauty, not only showing humility and courtesy, but also being able to monitor the beauty and prevent the prince from continuing to plot with her. ”

Liu Xiwei called a carriage, respectfully invited the beauty into the carriage, and personally escorted her on horseback. King Qi was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth, and was reminded by Qu Gong in a low voice before he came back to his senses, and as soon as he gave the golden arrow, he casually found an excuse to leave the arena and went straight to the king's tent.

Everyone couldn't help but whisper, and the concubines sitting in the harem seats stomped their feet and scolded the prince angrily. Chen Jia sighed and said: "It's hard for Jun's grace to grow, but it's a pity that this Lu beauty has been favored for a few months and then has a new love." ”

Qin Fei looked at a beautiful woman with a green veil hanging her head and a silent face, and sighed, his eyes turned as if he saw the anger and pain that quickly swept in the eyes of the servant.

Qu Gong coughed dryly and continued to preside over the overall situation. Xiang Chonghua silently guarded the dead horse, and only after Yingyangjun repeatedly urged him to come forward to thank him for receiving the reward.

Chen Jia smiled and patted Xiang Chonghua and said, "Why should a horse be so depressed? Brother Hua is a big hero now, as long as he nods, the horses in Yingyang Jun's Mansion are not at your disposal? ”

Xiang Chonghua pinned the golden arrow to his waist and said in a low voice: "I have some chest tightness, go and breathe for a while." He carried the whole horse carcass on his shoulders and kept it away from the crowd.

Qin Fei withdrew from the venue with him, and saw Xiang Chonghua move his mouth when he put the golden arrow on the horse corpse, but did not speak. Xiang Chonghua sighed, took the golden arrow back and pinned it to his waist, and said in a low voice while filling the horse: "I can't even protect a horse, isn't it useless?" ”

Qin Fei said: "For the high-ranking and powerful, horses and human lives are props with only use value, and there is no difference. Don't say it's you, even if it's Yingyangjun or even the crown prince, as long as King Qi moves his fingers, they can't protect anything. ”

Xiang Chonghua's fingers were deeply embedded in the earth, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Heaven and earth are not benevolent, and all things are regarded as dogs." The most powerful people are heaven and earth, and we can only retreat with trembling and lingering. ”

Qin Fei said: "But we can also use their power to protect what we want to protect." There are gains and losses, and compromise and sacrifice are always inevitable. ”

Xiang Chonghua watched the loess slowly fall on the grave where the horse was beginning to take shape, and said, "Why don't I understand all this you said? But what if it's what you have to sacrifice and give up what you value most? What will you do? ”

Qin Fei shook his head and said, "I don't know, and I won't think about it." ”

Xiang Chonghua lowered his head, looked at his hands and said, "I suddenly feel so powerless. Qin Fei, I'm afraid that one day I'll lose everything. ”

Qin Fei stood up, patted the loess on his clothes and said: "No matter how difficult a monarch is, he is far from being as dangerous as the nature of heaven and earth, since people can even use the nature of heaven and earth skillfully and turn evil into good fortune, what else is there to worry about?" What's more, to this day, despite the dangers, haven't we all survived? Disasters can be physically and mentally exhausting, but they can also sharpen us more and more sensitively. As long as it takes time......"

Xiang Chonghua said lightly: "Which of the ministers of the humerus throughout the ages is not intelligent and sophisticated?" But how many can die well? He sighed and said, "The gentleman is suspicious and the will of heaven is fickle. You're right, what's the difference between a horse and a man? ”

Qin Fei said: "It is precisely because of the sinister future that we should cheer up even more." The prince didn't know what to do next, and there were still two days before the end of the field hunt. Now is not the time for you to lament. ”

Xiang Chonghua also stood up and said to Qin Fei: "Not bad." I'm going to do everything in my power to protect you and Cher. ”

Qin Fei couldn't help frowning when he thought of Wei Qianxue, but quickly regained his smile and said, "We have returned from the Riding and Archery Competition, and now you and I will have a stronger and stronger position in the Yingyang Monarch's Mansion." King Qi has a beauty, and he will definitely be reluctant to attend other activities today, and the prince and they must also leave enough time for the beauty to charm King Qi, so they will not do it in a short time. Take it easy. Xiang Chonghua bowed to Ma'er's grave three times before returning to the camp with Qin Fei.

Since King Qi got a beauty, he really pushed all the matters of the ceremony to Qu Gong and other important ministers, and even refused to take a step out of the king's tent, until noon on the last day of the ceremony, he yawned and appeared on the sword competition field with a samurai beauty who was named Yingji. The Prince's Mansion seemed to be relieved by Ying Ji's favor, but he just sent a few random people to appear, and they were quickly eliminated. The people of Yingyang Junfu defeated the heroes all the way and were rewarded by King Qi again and again.

The long sword in Gao Jian's hand rolled towards his opponent like a dark cloud, and the more he fought, the more fierce he became. The opponent took a few steps back, and suddenly hit Gao Jian's shoulder with a sword, Gao Jian's moves were more powerful but less flexible, and it was too late to return the sword, so he could only shout angrily, hug the opponent, and fell to the ground together. Gao Jian rolled over and rode on top of him, his hands tightly choked his throat, and he didn't let go when he saw his eyes roll out, until he heard the bells ringing to win the battle, and then he stood up from the ground triumphantly and raised his hands high.

But hearing a sneer from behind, a tall and thin man with a sharp beak and monkey cheeks appeared in the arena at some point, his eyes swept up and down contemptuously, and said: "I learned swords at the age of thirteen and thought that I had seen all the swordsmanship in the world, but today is the first time I have seen such a rolling and crawling style of play." Yingyang Junfu is really ...... Hahaha...... It's different! ”

Gao Jian jumped up to him and said angrily, "Where do the rudes dare to speak disrespectfully to my Yingyang Monarch's Mansion? ”

The man sneered and waved his hand and said, "Xiao Xian in the Xia Jiang Country Pavilion." ”

Gao Jian's long sword pointed directly at his brow, and said in a loud voice: "Do you think about what kind of price you will pay if you insult my Yingyang Monarch Mansion?" ”

Xiao Xian smiled faintly: "It is an unsurpassed honor for a swordsman to die with his sword, but it is a shame to die at the hands of the incompetent. The attendant behind him handed over two swords, Xiao Xian glanced at Gao Jian, and seemed to say to himself: "But if you are too strong and weak, you will not be able to win." He drew the thin dagger and handed it back to the squire.

Gao Jian burst out loud and said, "The shaft takes his life." Without waiting for the attendant to retreat, he rushed forward with his sword.

Xiang Chonghua shouted "Oops", and seeing Wei Qianxue's puzzled face, he explained in a low voice: "This Xiao Xian is a famous swordsman in Jiang Country, and his swordsmanship is dangerous and weird. The so-called one inch is short and one inch is dangerous, the shorter and thinner the sword, the more it can give full play to its advantages. If Gao Jian, who walks steadily and strongly, can calmly face the battle and overcome softness with rigidity, he will have at least an eight-point chance of winning. But he was so angry by Xiao Xian that he lost his mind, and his sword moves became more and more impetuous and messy, and if he continued like this, he would definitely lose. ”

Qin Fei shook his head and said in a low voice: "To deal with a reckless person like Gao Jian who was born in a family and has high eyes, there is no better way to deal with it than the radical general. ”

I saw Gao Jian pounce left and right like a hungry tiger, but he couldn't even reach Xiao Xian's side. The short sword in Xiao Xian's hand kept striking out in a strange direction. After a while, Gao Jian's arm had been cut through a long hole, and his thigh was dripping with blood. The more Gao Jian fought, the more anxious he became, the more angry he became, and the originally strong and upright sword moves simply became a random fight.

Wei Qianxue stomped her feet and said, "General Gao's strength is about to run out, I'm afraid he will be defeated soon." ”

I saw Xiao Xian jumping forward, and he rushed into Gao Jian's sword net against the ground, and the short sword cut through Gao Jian's tendons with a single stroke. Gao Jian screamed, the long sword fell into Xiao Xian's hand, Xiao Xian jumped up on the spot, and easily put the sword on Gao Jian's neck.

As soon as the bell rang, Gao Jian was defeated.

Everyone in Yingyang Jun's Mansion sighed and scolded angrily, and looked at Yingyang Jun one after another. Yingyangjun's face was also a little unbearable, and he sent someone to drag Gao Jian, who was still trying to fight hard, and looked at Xiang Chonghua as if he had no intention of it. Xiang Chonghua suddenly turned his head and happened to stagger his gaze.

Xiao Xian said loudly: "I heard that the Yingyang Junfu is full of talents, but when I saw it today, it was a little unworthy of the name. Yingyangjun shouldn't have to insist on courtesy and humility on the field, right? It's not as good as this, as long as Yingyangjun's subordinates defeat Xia in three games, they will apologize to Yingyangjun convincingly. If he is lucky enough to win three games in a row, then Xiao can only think that ......"

Everyone in Yingyang Jun's Mansion frowned. Xiao Xian, as a Jiang person, although he was targeting the Yingyang Monarch's Mansion, if the Yingyang Monarch's Mansion was defeated, it would be the entire Qi Kingdom that couldn't raise his head. No one can afford this charge that has brought shame to the whole country.

Wei Qianxue whispered urgently: "Brother Hua, Yingyangjun has been watching you!" ”

Xiang Chonghua didn't say a word.

Qin Fei sighed secretly, and said in his heart: "Xiao Xian has a great relationship with the Jiang royal family, and it is very likely that he has met Xiang Chonghua, who was originally the prince of Yongguo, and even fought each other. Although the relationship between one side may not be very deep, the swordsman can recognize the other party by virtue of his swordsmanship. It is understandable that Chonghua did not dare to play. He couldn't help but glance at the envoys of Jiang and Chen, although the two sides kept their distance, but Chen Ren did not stop and anger at Jiang Guo Xiao Xian's domineering behavior, obviously both sides were entrusted by Liu Xisui to deliberately find trouble in Yingyang Junfu. A strange thought suddenly flashed through Qin Fei's mind: "If something happens to Liu Xiqiu, even if Jiang and Chen have a mess, will Qi Guo still take care of it?" ”

Liu Xiwei couldn't hold his breath anymore, got up from his seat, and was about to walk to Xiang Chonghua's side.

Chen Jia looked at the anxious Wei Qianxue and thought, "Beauty has loved heroes since ancient times. If I can solve this problem in front of Cher, she will look at me differently. Without waiting for instructions, Liu Xiwei jumped up, turned over and flew towards the arena in the air very gracefully, and gently stepped on the head of the guard guarding the arena with both feet and flew up with strength, and finally floated in front of Xiao Xian while spinning. Seeing that he was so handsome, everyone couldn't help cheering in unison, and the chaotic venue erupted in applause one after another.

Chen Jia glanced at Wei Qianxue triumphantly, and then cleared his throat and said loudly: "Under Chen Jia's tutelage from Mr. Qinglong Mangkhut, please teach the strong man." ”

Everyone heard that Chen Jia, who had never made a move, turned out to be a protégé of Qinglong Mountain of the four famous families, and they were very excited. Wei Qianxue couldn't help but smile. Liu Xiwei couldn't help but be stunned, and sat back in his seat, but his face was full of sadness.
