In all fairness, Liu Qian should be considered a smart person. It can even be said that his IQ is not below Liu Ling.

His biggest problem is conceit.

In fact, it is no wonder that his father is the most learned scholar in the Han Dynasty, the head of the kings, and his mother is the daughter of a famous family from a big family.

Liu Ling's admiration for Liang Xiao made him very disappointed. When he was a child, Liu Ling was his follower, and he always admired him, and he took it for granted, even if Liu Ling gradually grew up. Suddenly, Liu Ling admired a pariah and even took the initiative to pursue Liang Xiao, which was really undignified.

A pariah, but he talks a few big words, shoots a good arrow, and wants to marry my sister?

Liu Qian was not convinced, he really wanted to defeat Liang Xiao and prove how ridiculous Liu Ling was to do this. In his opinion, there is only one most direct way to defeat Liang Xiao, and that is to defeat him in the archery skills that Liang Xiao is best at.

Liu Qian shot at Chen Shangxue. Chen Shang is one of the eight princes of Huainan Palace, with superb archery, serving as the archery master of the Huainan Palace, and also teaching many disciples with outstanding archery skills. Liu Qian hopes to be able to practice excellent archery skills in a short period of time like he did in his previous studies, and give Liang Xiao a disadvantage.

However, it backfired, he practiced for more than a month, and even did not hesitate to change to a one-stone strong bow, although the range and hit rate have improved, but still can't do 100 shots, and the hit can only rely on luck. This made him very agitated and very annoyed. This has never happened before.

Liu Qian suspected that Chen Shang had not taught him the true secret. He thought so, and naturally there was a good reason. All the time. He learns everything fast. Whether it's civil or military. No exceptions. Why is it so slow to learn to shoot, and there are even signs of regression?

Liu Ling said that before he met Huan Yuan, Liang Xiao was just an ordinary teenager, and after Huan Yuan's allocation, in just a few months, his archery skills improved by leaps and bounds, and it took less than a year. It was a draw with Li Guangzhan, an archery heirloom. As you can see, the secret is very important. With a secret, you can travel a thousand miles in a day. Without a secret, it's useless to endure hardship.

I am smarter than Liang Xiao, but I can't improve, is there any other reason?

Chen Shang has a hard time arguing. Liu Qian practiced shooting, did he dare to teach without heart? However, practicing archery is a process of accumulation after all, and it only takes a month to shoot an arrow target a hundred steps away, and Liu Qian's progress is enough to prove his intentions. But Liu Qian has to compare with Liang Xiao, isn't this embarrassing?

In Chen Shang's opinion. Not to mention practicing for a month, even if it is a lifetime of practice. Liu Qian may not have a chance to surpass Liang Xiao. There are some things that can't be done smartly. Liu Qian is smart, is Liang Xiao a fool?

Chen Shang believes that with Huan Yuan's gaze, Liang Xiao's talent is definitely one in a million, and he will not be worse than Liu Qian. If Liu Qian can calm down and practice, after a year or two, he may have the opportunity to compete with Liang Xiao. But in a month, Liu Qian could not win at all.

However, under the low eaves, how dare people not bow their heads. He called a few disciples and asked them to compete with Liu Qian. How dare the guards win against Liu Qian, and their strength is indeed inferior to Liu Qian. After several rounds of competition, Liu Qian won the game.

Liu Qian couldn't understand it, and in the end he could only come to one conclusion: the rumors were unreliable, and Liang Xiao's reputation might have a lot of water. Because of this, he did not dare to accept the challenge. Originally, a hundred steps away, the arrow target is smaller than the palm of the hand, and you can't see it clearly, how can you shoot?

Liu Qian decided to personally puncture Liang Xiao's cowhide, which should be more rewarding than defeating him. If it turns out that Liang Xiao's words are exaggerated, is he still embarrassed to stay in Huainan, is he embarrassed to propose?

When Chen Shang heard this, he almost fainted. He hurriedly stopped Liu Qian.

"Prince, although Liang Xiao is a liehou, how can he be compared with the prince? And Liang Xiao came to Huainan to propose, the prince won, he was a bully to the master, and he was not martial, maybe some people said that Liang Xiao was not unable to win, but he was in awe of the prince and deliberately humble. ”

When Liu Qian heard this, he felt reasonable. "Yes, although I don't like him, my father has a lot of praise for him, and my sister has a soft spot for him. If it's because of my bad marriage, wouldn't it be a brother and sister? ”

"What the prince said is very true, let others try it. If he doesn't know how to advance or retreat, it's not too late for the prince to come forward. ”

"Yes." Liu Qian was very satisfied and agreed. "However, I can't always drag it out like this, I have to let him come out to fight."

――

Liang Xiao looked at Liu Qian, who was smiling, and felt that something was wrong. Gao Lengfan suddenly became Xiao Yangchun, and it was really difficult to adapt. Especially Liu Qian's smirk, which makes people feel that his acting skills are also a little worse.

Compared with the one in Chang'an, this one is a scumbag.

"Your Highness is here, I don't know if it's ......"

Liu Qian smirked. "You have been here for a few days in Shouchun, and I should have received it, but I have been busy with government affairs and have been sluggish. How, is Shouchun still used to living? ”

"It's fine." Liang Xiao also smirked. "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is free now? Did the King of Huainan see us indirectly sometimes? ”

"Soon there will be time." Liu Qian crooked the corners of his mouth. "After you accept the challenge of the Huainan Warriors, it's almost over."

"The challenge of the Huainan Warriors?" Liang Xiao was surprised. "When?"

"You don't know?" Liu Qian was also surprised, and looked back at Chen Shang. Chen Shang hurriedly said: "Liang Junhou, hasn't anyone come to challenge these days?" ”

"There are a few challenges. However, I didn't see any warriors. ”

"Ah...... Ahem, ahem! Liu Qian breathed a sigh and coughed violently. Chen Shang was also very unhappy. "Liang Junhou, we all know that you are superb in archery, but in this way, you don't take me Huainan too seriously, where is there still a little sincerity to ask for marriage?"

Liang Xiao smiled slightly, didn't explain, stretched out his hand and said, "Take the bow!" ”

Firefox fetches a bow and arrow. Liang Xiao held the bow in his hand, looked at it, put the arrow bag on his back, and walked out of the door. Firefox and another archer picked up the target and walked a hundred paces away.

Liang Xiao stood outside the gate of the post house, looked at the arrow target in the distance, pondered for a moment, turned to Liu Qian, who looked sullen, and said, "Your Highness, how many days does the King of Huainan have to meet us?" ”

"If it's fast, it's a day or two, if it's late, it's ......"

Before Liu Qian's words fell, Liang Xiao raised his hand and stopped him. "One or two days, it should be enough to spread all over Shouchun."

Liu Qian's face became ugly. Liang Xiao was too arrogant and didn't take the Huainan people in his eyes at all. What does he want to do?

Liang Xiao also ignored Liu Qian, stretched out his hand, pulled out four arrows from the quiver, pulled the bow full, and did not deliberately aim, "Whoosh!" "Four arrows in a row, and then four arrows in a row. After shooting eight arrows, he stopped, glanced into the distance, smiled, and turned to enter the door.

"Hey, you still have four arrows left." Liu Qian shouted.

Liang Xiao turned around, looked at Liu Qian, and smiled slightly. "His Royal Highness the Prince, if someone surpasses my score, I won't be too late to shoot." After speaking, he arched his hand, turned around and entered the house, and never looked at Liu Qian again.

Liu Qian was furious, but he didn't dare to fight. He waved his hand and motioned for someone to look at the results. After a short time, a shooter hurriedly walked over, with a strange look in his eyes, attached to Chen Shang's ear, and muttered a few words. Chen Shang was taken aback, didn't bother to report to Liu Qian, and walked towards the arrow target.

Liu Qian was curious, and also wanted to go over to take a look, but because of his identity, he didn't move, just stared at Chen Shang, hoping that Chen Shang could fly over in one step.

The fire fox and the archer walked back, glanced at Liu Qian and the others, smiled faintly, arched their hands, and turned to enter the house.

After a short time, Chen Shang ran back, his face frightened. "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince......"

"Don't worry." Liu Qian's heart palpitated for a while, but he forced himself to calm down. "You speak slowly."

"Eight arrows ......" Chen Shang said two words in a dumb voice, and found that the voice couldn't come out, so he quickly stopped, swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva, moistened his throat, and then said: "Eight arrows are all hit, two arrows are in the middle, five arrows are bowed, and one arrow is in the next one." ”

Liu Qian's face suddenly turned red, hot, and hot.

A hundred steps away, eight arrows are all hit, this is shocking enough, there are actually two arrows, five arrows bowed?

"How is that possible?" Liu Qian glared at Chen Shang, took a big stride, and ran towards the target.

On the target, the eight arrows were clear, and there was no trace of movement.

Liu Qian froze there, motionless, his face red and white for a while. He didn't know what to say. No wonder Liang Xiao only shot eight arrows, leaving four arrows unshooting. Looking at Huainan, no, in the whole world, I am afraid that there are not many archers who can shoot such accurate arrows. What if Liang Xiao let them have four arrows? He still won.

"This ......" Liu Qian stretched out his hand, pointed to the arrow target, and stammered speechless.

"It's magical, it's magical." Chen Shang said repeatedly: "His Royal Highness the Prince, don't compare, hurry up and ask the king to meet him." If this arrow target stays next to the post house for a day, it will be a day to slap the Huainan people in the face. In a few days, the entire Huainan will recite Liang Xiao's archery, and when the time comes, ......"

Chen Shang didn't know what to say, and looked at Liu Qian with blank eyes.

Liu Qian suddenly realized, and half of his face suddenly distorted. Liang Xiao has such a good archery skill, there is no doubt that he can be among the archers, or even the strongest one. He is also the prince of the whole army of the Great Han Dynasty, do you want such a person to be the son-in-law of the king of Huainan? Wouldn't the Corporal Lixian of the King of Huainan become a fame and reputation, and people will inevitably wonder what kind of goods the three thousand men are like.

Thinking that he still wanted to challenge Liang Xiao, Liu Qian's face was panicked, and he had no face to see Liang Xiao again, so he had to hand over this task to Chen Shang. Chen Shang entered the house, euphemistically expressed his meaning, and asked Liang Xiao to enter the palace immediately. Of course, the target outside the door should be removed.

Liang Xiao smiled. "As I said, there's no need to be in such a hurry. I and Lord Weng have a heart-to-heart relationship, if the two feelings are long, how can they be in the morning and twilight. It's better to wait for King Huainan to finish his official duties, as long as it doesn't drag on for seven or eight months, he can catch up. ”――
