Dye Gan hurriedly said: "The Turks don't dare to offend Tianwei, Weichen just proposes to ride and shoot to help the fun!" ”

"Riding and shooting, that's a good proposition!"

Yang Guang happily agreed, "I will select a few people from Shi Wei to compete with the Turkic warriors to help the birthday banquet." ”

Yang Guang instructed the guards behind him to say a few words, and asked him to bring Changsun Sheng over, and Empress Xiao next to him was a little worried: "But it's night, Your Majesty, is it okay at night?" ”

"It's okay, I remember that in the fifth year of the emperor's reign, General Changsun and the Turkic warriors competed in arrows, even at night, Khan, I remember that you were there, do you remember?"

Dye Gan nodded, "That was twenty years ago, when the minister was still young, but the memory of the past is still fresh. ”

At this time, Changsun Sheng and Shi Xiang, the general of the Left Guard, stepped forward and saluted: "See Your Majesty!" ”

Yang Guangyi said with a dry smile: "The Khan of Qimin proposed to compare arrows to make fun, I agreed, General Changsun, can you still fight for me?" ”

"The minister's arms can open two stone bows, and he can shoot incense and fire a hundred steps away, and he is willing to relieve His Majesty's worries!"

Yang Guang smiled and asked Dye Gan, "Khan, is the veteran okay?" ”

Dye Gan smiled and said nothing, and after a while, a Turkic warrior stepped forward and saluted, and Dye Gan introduced Yang Guang: "His name is Aratu, a native of the west coast of Yibohai, who won the title of my first Turkic archer last month, and is only fourteen years old this year. ”

Yang Guang was stunned for a moment, this Turkic archer turned out to be a young warrior who was only fourteen years old, he looked at Changsun Sheng again, and laughed a little self-deprecatingly, "General Changsun, it seems that I am embarrassed to let you play." ”

He said to Shi Xiang again: "General Shi, go and pick a young warrior among the left and right guard sergeants, not more than sixteen years old. ”

Shi Xiang agreed, but when he left, he quickly glanced at Changsun Sheng. Changsun Sheng understood, and smiled at Yang Guang: "The minister also went to help General Shi choose." ”

Yang Guang nodded, and Changsun Sheng walked out of the main hall through the side door, caught up with Shi Xiang, and saw that he was full of sadness, so he asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Shi Xiang sighed, "I'm afraid I won't be able to pick out the right candidate!" ”

"How so?"

Changsun Sheng frowned, "There are countless archery masters in the left and right guards. There are at least twenty people under the age of sixteen, how can they not be singled out? ”

"The problem is shooting night arrows, and the night arrow master seems to be absent in my memory."

Changsun Sheng was a little stumped, he knew that there were more Turkic blue-eyed people. The night vision ability is generally stronger than that of the Central Plains, and the Qimin Khan proposed to compare arrows at this time, obviously he came prepared, and the young Turkic warrior must be a master of night arrows.

He thought quickly for a moment, and several night arrow candidates appeared in his mind, "Zhou Fashang's youngest son, Zhou Shaofan, is skilled in arching horses, and his night bow ability is very strong. He should be at right back. ”

Shi Xiang shook his head and said: "Zhou Shaofan happens to be on duty in Renshou Palace, not in Beijing, otherwise let the right guard general Yuwen Chengdu, his bow and horse are unparalleled in the world." ”

"He is already over twenty years old, and he does not meet His Majesty's requirements."

Changsun Sheng denied Yuwen Chengdu, and he said: "Then I remember that there is a Shi Wei named Hou Junji among the Zuo Wuwei, who has a good night arrow ability, so you can find him." ”

Shi Xiang still shook his head. "Although he can shoot arrows at night, his archery skills are not high, and he is not competent."

"There is also a young man in the mansion of Li Mi, the prince of Pushan County, who is fourteen years old and has excellent archery skills, named Wang Bodang, more than a month ago. I saw him shoot incense at night, and he hit every shot, which was shocking, and he could be called a young arrow. ”

"Then I'll go find Li Mi."

Shi Xiang ordered one person, and Li Mi, the prince of Pushan County, was on the main hall. In a moment, he walked out of the main hall.

Li Mi is only twenty-four years old this year, six feet two tall, thick eyebrows and tiger eyes, dignified, because his father died of illness at the beginning of the year, he inherited his father's title, and at the same time gave up the position of the palace guard officer, concentrated on studying at home, he and Yuanqing's father Yang Xuangan has a good relationship, usually go out, but also go to Yang Mansion to find Xuangan to chat, this time Princess Leping's birthday, he also made an exception.

Li Mi arched his hand and smiled: "What is General Shi looking for me?" ”

Changsun Sheng stepped forward and said with a smile: "Brother Xuandi, I want to ask you to borrow someone." ”

Li Mi and Changsun Sheng also had a good relationship, so he smiled slightly: "Who does General Changsun want to borrow?" ”

"That young archer Wang Bodang, is he in your mansion now?"

"Wang Bodang is the son of my father's friend, after his father died, my father took him over to the palace, he is my brother, what is the matter with General Changsun looking for him?"

"I want him to gamble for the saint."

Changsun Sheng briefly said about the dye dry fight, and said: "Although there are many people who are good at riding and archery, there are not many who are good at night arrows, and the saint doesn't want to be too old, so I thought of Wang Bodang, who I saw last time. ”

"Maybe it disappointed General Changsun."

Li Mi smiled bitterly and said, "He went to repair his father's grave and has not returned yet." ”

Changsun Sheng's brows furrowed, his heart was extremely disappointed, he couldn't think of a suitable candidate for a while, but at this time, Li Mi smiled and reminded him: "Actually, there is another suitable person, General Changsun is very familiar with him in Biansai, how can he forget him." ”

Changsun Sheng was stunned for a long time, he suddenly slapped his head and laughed, "I'm really confused, riding a donkey to find a donkey, this person is in the main hall, I'll go find him." ”

Changsun Sheng didn't explain to Shi Xiang, so he hurriedly walked back to the main hall, Yang Guang was talking to Dye Gan, and when he saw him coming back, he asked with a smile: "General Changsun, can you find a suitable candidate?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, night arrow shooting is more special, Shi Wei has some candidates, but they are all a little older, and the minister has already thought of one person, who is in the main hall."

"Who is it?" Yang Guang asked with interest.

Yang Xuangan, who was sitting in the back row with one finger and was talking to Goguryeo's envoy Yuan Taizuo, said with a smile: "It's Yang Yuanqing, the son of Xuangan!" ”

Yang Guang raised his head and laughed, "It turned out to be him, where is he now?" Let him come to me. ”

"Go and call him."

Changsun Sheng hurried away, and Yang Guang asked Dye Gan with a smile, "Does the Khan know Yang Yuanqing, the guard of Fengzhou Dali City?" ”

Dye Gan squinted and laughed, "Your Majesty, he is an old friend of the minister." ”

Soon, Changsun Sheng brought Yang Yuanqing up, "Your Majesty, he's here!" ”

Yang Yuanqing stepped forward and knelt down on one knee to give Yang Guang a salute, "Weichen Yang Yuanqing sees His Majesty the Emperor!" ”

Yang Guangyi waved his hand and said with a smile: "General Yang, don't be polite." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Yang Yuanqing got up and bowed to Dye Gan again, "Khan, long time no see!" ”

Dye Gan smiled slightly in Turkic language: "General Yang, you are the most honored guest of my Turks, farewell to Harry Lake, I have been waiting for you to come to the bank of the Egen River as a guest, I didn't expect to meet you in the capital." ”

Dye Gan spoke Turkic, which made everyone around stunned, but a trace of uneasiness flashed in Princess Yicheng's eyes, she knew her husband too well, and it might not be good for Yang Yuanqing if he said this.

A Honglu Temple interpreter stepped forward and whispered to Yang Guang to translate, Yang Guang was slightly unhappy in his heart, but he didn't say anything, still smiling and waiting for Yang Yuanqing's answer.

Yang Yuanqing did not use Turkic language, but said in Chinese: "The khan is wrong!" The most honored guest of the grassland should be His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Sui, Yang Yuanqing is just a general in the small city of the Great Sui Empire, without a military order, how can I go to the Turkic tent without permission? ”

Yang Guang smiled and nodded, without saying anything about it, he said to Yan Yue: "General Yang, the Khan of Qimin proposed to compete with arrows, one from each side, both are young warriors, General Changsun recommended you to me, are you willing to fight for me?" ”

Yang Yuanqing said without hesitation: "The minister is willing to serve His Majesty!" ”

Yang Guang saw a trace of embarrassment flashing in his eyes, so he smiled and asked, "Do you have anything else to be embarrassed about?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister's bow and arrow are in the Yang Mansion, please allow the minister to go back and get the bow and arrow."

"I have a bow and arrow, I let them bring a few."

"Your Majesty!"

Yang Yuanqing smiled bitterly, "The minister's bow and arrow are a bit heavy, I'm afraid that the general bow and arrow are not suitable for the minister." ”

"How much does it weigh?"

Stone! ”

"Three stones!"

It was Dye Gan who let out an exclamation and asked Yang Yuanqing in disbelief, "General Yang, can you open the three-stone bow right away?" ”

Sun Sheng, the chief next to him, said with a smile: "General Yang can indeed open a three-stone bow. ”

Yang Guang admired in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, at this time he seemed to think of something, and glanced back at Yuwen Chengdu, the general of the right guard, who was standing not far away, Yuwen Chengdu nodded, meaning that Yang Yuanqing could go up.

Yang Guang has great trust in Yuwen Chengdu, since Yuwen Chengdu said that Yang Yuanqing can, then there is no problem, so he smiled and said: "I remember that General Yuwen used a three-stone bow, so I borrowed him!" No need to go home. ”

Yang Yuanqing actually used a three-stone bow, in addition to Dyegan's amazement, the Goguryeo envoy Yuan Taizuo, who was sitting behind Dyegan, was also moved, but the Goguryeo boy beside him was expressionless, but his eyes were firmly fixed on Yang Yuanqing, and he quietly pulled Yuan Taizuo.

Yuan Taizuo understood, got up and said with a smile: "Goguryeo should also have a good time!" We also have one man to match the arrows. ”

Yang Guang nodded, "Yes, I don't know if there is a candidate?" ”

Yuan Taizuo pointed to the young man next to him, "This is my son Gai Suwen, he is willing to cheer His Majesty." ”

Yang Guang looked at Gai Suwen, then at Yang Yuanqing, and said happily: "For tonight's battle with arrows, I want to make a color." ”

He beckoned, a eunuch held a vermilion lacquered wooden plate forward, the wooden plate was covered with silk, there was a golden bowl, Yang Guang raised the golden bowl, and said loudly: "This is the golden bowl that the Western Regions paid tribute to the Great Sui, which is worth a huge amount of money. ”

The news of the gambling battle made the guests boil, and everyone walked outside the hall one after another, but Yang Guang gave Changsun Sheng a look, and instructed the left and right: "I want to change my clothes!" ”

More than a dozen eunuchs surrounded Yang Guang to the apse, and Changsun Sheng also followed, he saw Yang Guang stop, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, Weichen is here!" ”

Yang Guang glanced at him, and said lightly: "I want to know, why did Dye Gan say that Yang Yuanqing is the most honored guest of the Turks?" ”！。
