Chapter 161: The First Day of the Competition

Gongs and drums are announced, the total ring occupies most of the city of Yongzhou, there are seven checkpoints, seven small rings, a general ring, three outside the city, four in the city, the court is really generous, so extravagant and wasteful, have they ever thought about the soldiers on the border?

Yongzhou city outside the good scenery, the city is so lively, Yongzhou city is the border of Chu State, there were many businessmen in the past, and now there is a competition to win the hand, the tourists and businessmen who stay here are gradually increasing, and the refugees who pour into the city are more and more.

Those refugees are victims of the war, the war has taken away their homes, they have nowhere to live now, including the Chu people and the southerners, the soldiers guarding the city gate outside the city will never let them enter the city on weekdays, what is the matter today? Could it be because of the division competition?

Qianyu was embraced by Zhao Xi and a few people all the way, but she felt uncomfortable all the way, those refugees, how could she not care in her eyes? The difference between them and those rich businessmen is so obvious, they didn't say a word, and Zhao Xi didn't dare to be too public, and hugged her all the way to the general ring.

Zhao Xi: Han Xuan, don't be too far away from us, look at the players next to you, there are more than one battalion more people than us, and people don't think anything is bad!

Zhu Wen: That's it, there are only three of us, and those next to us are all other people's, look at others, the most unfortunate ones are dozens of people, aren't we too shabby?

Qianyu paused, glanced back at them and continued walking, she didn't care about Zhao Xi and them at all, but didn't want them to see the sadness in her eyes, seeing that she was about to get to the ring, there were fewer people, and only the contestants who handed in the token could continue to move forward.

Zhao Xi: Han Xuan, do your best, don't put too much pressure on yourself.

Qianyu: I know, don't worry, I won't let you down!

Zhu Wen: That's right! Come on!

Qianyu smiled lightly, half of the side face of the country and the city was fascinating, Zhao Xi took her hand, stuffed something for her, and then the three of them retreated out of the ring.

Looking around, in addition to looking at the lively crowd, there were two rows of judges sitting directly above the ring, all the players had already arrived, and some people were ready to move, and the slender and petite Qianyu stood in the crowd, and in an instant others were drowned, and a burst of sighs broke out in the crowd.

"Hey, Zhao Xi, no problem, right?" Seeing this, Zhu Wen asked Zhao Xi worriedly, looking at the people around him who were laughing, he felt very uncomfortable.

"If it's her, it's fine!" Zhao Xi returned solemnly, a trusting smile on the corner of his mouth raised slightly, and people couldn't help but follow him to believe in that person.

"Then I'm relieved!" Zhu Wen wiped away the fine sweat from the corners of his forehead and looked at the other players on the field seriously, some of whom he still knew.

"Three hundred players, it seems that many people are very interested in the military commander of Chu State, everyone only knows that this is a piece of fatty meat, but they don't know if this piece of meat is poisonous"

Qianyu chuckled, laughing that she was just a gluttonous eater of this piece of meat, she looked up at the judge on the stage, she didn't know anyone, such a big national matter, the court didn't transfer the prime minister or cronies, it was really rare.

While everyone was waiting, the inquisitors on the stage moved, as if they had received some orders, and the contestants looked at the inquisitors.

"Ladies and gentlemen, today is the first round of the competition, and I believe everyone knows the items to be compared today, but the court has just heard the news and temporarily changed the competition items."

"Temporarily changing the project, the people in the court are really unexpected"

The judge returned to his seat and sat down after the announcement, and said no more, and the crowd could only wait, saying only that the project would be changed, but that it would not be said what it was.

The scorching sun was in the sky, the judges on the stage were sitting, the Taichung players were standing, and the people in the audience were watching, and a little breeze was blowing, which was as luxurious as rain.

Qianyu lowered his head, his cold silhouette made it difficult to approach, and his body exuded an aura that no one should approach, and the judge on the stage still did not speak, as if he was still waiting for orders, and the players on the field were silent and stood quietly.

Time passed little by little, the judges on the stage were still just sitting, still waiting, at this moment, Qianyu finally understood that the judges were playing according to the normal procedure, letting all the players stand under the scorching sun, and if there was any objection in the middle, they would immediately remove the qualification, and until the hour was enough, they would let the players continue.

Two hours passed quietly, and a few men who had lost their temper were invited out by the inquisitors, and Qianyu just closed her eyes and waited for the next step, which was not worth mentioning at all for her.

Zhao Xi and a few people in the audience were in a hurry, this kind of punishment game is nothing to those big men, but it is fatal to Qianyu, who is as thin as a girl, if it weren't for seeing Qianyu standing on the stage without moving, and still in good spirits, they would have rushed to the stage to carry people.

As soon as the two hours arrived, many guards came out of the backstage, holding bows and arrows, walking towards the stage, and one person stood next to each player, holding a bow and arrow, handing them to the players at any time.

At this moment, the judge on the stage gave an order, and the players on the stage picked up the bows and arrows next to them and prepared to shoot, but the scorching sun for two hours made many players dazzled, unable to do so, their limbs were weak, and the bows and arrows in their hands were trembling, which was exactly the result they wanted.

When the players on the stage were ready, the judge beat the drum and ordered, and the arrows were shot at the arrow target 100 meters away, Qianyu closed his eyes, felt the wind direction around him, and felt the distance between himself and the arrow target with his heart.

All the players on the field have shot their arrows, but Qianyu is still holding a bow and pulling the string, the arrow is still on the string, the surrounding players are waiting for her, Zhao Xi and Zhu Wen in the audience are not in a hurry at all, quietly waiting for her to shoot the arrow.

"Isn't this person the one Han Xuan? I have long seen that he can't become the climate, but I didn't expect that an arrow can't be shot."

"It turns out that he is the underdog! What a name it deserves! ”

"I guess I'm scared to pee my pants!"

"How did he lift such a heavy bow and arrows with that little frame?"

In the crowd, the people have already talked a lot, and they are still talking about it.

Zhao Xi stared at the bow and arrow in Qianyu's hand with dead eyes, he felt that Qianyu would shoot that arrow immediately, and the arrow representing their twelve battalions would definitely penetrate the scorching sun, break through the breeze, and reach the end.

"Xiu ......" an arrow shot out quickly with the momentum of hitting the wind and waves, and shot at the center of the arrow target at a speed that could not be caught by both eyes, and it was not bad at all.

The audience was silent, and when the audience was silent, the judge on the stage had already recorded the results in the book, and after everyone came back to their senses, they looked at Qianyu in amazement, and then looked at the arrow, it was indeed her shot, everyone had stopped moving just now, only he was the only one who had not shot the arrow, so there would be no mistake.

"Maybe it's just this kid's luck."

"This is too evil, isn't it?"

"Is this still an underdog?"

"Is there any reason for this?"

Everyone shouted, completely disbelieving the arrow shot by Qianyu, the eyes of the masses were bright, Han Xuan's arrow was higher than anyone's score, it seemed that this game was a foregone conclusion.

It wasn't until there was no sound of the wind in her ears that she opened her eyes, looked at the arrow that was firmly inserted in the target, and took a deep breath, she seemed to be very satisfied with this result, and it was obvious that she had spent a little more time in order to strive for perfection.

"Great! I knew she could! As long as it's her, it's no problem" Zhao Xi clapped his palms, couldn't help but jump excitedly, and couldn't hide the excitement in his eyes.

Qianyu breathed a sigh of relief, she knew that her archery skills still needed to be cultivated, if it weren't for the goal of trying to overwhelm that Yang Qiwei, she wouldn't have spent so long, if she was on the battlefield, it would take so long to target an enemy, it would be a fatal weakness.

Just when everyone thought that the shooting competition was over, they only heard another drum on the field, and another row of guards came in, each bringing a horse over, and it was a good horse without a saddle, everyone was confused, but Qianyu was not surprised at all.

"It seems that this game is not so simple, not only to test the durability of each player, but also to test the archery skills, and finally to test the horse archery skills, it is really an extraordinary competition"

After two trials, Qianyu had just stretched his muscles and bones, and was waiting for a big opening, the judge on the stage had not yet spoken, and these people were really ruthless, and they didn't even let everyone breathe.

"Except for those who fail to hit the bull's-eye, the rest of the players must accept the level of horse shooting, otherwise it will be regarded as a halftime abstention"

All the judges on the stage have already scored the shooting range for all the contestants, they looked at the arrows that shot out of the range, they were already in a cold sweat, no one thought that some players would be so embarrassed, shooting a bunch of messy arrows, not only did not hit the bull's-eye, but also scattered.

Nearly 100 people have been eliminated in the first game, and I don't know how many people will be out of the next riding archery, and those buyers who bet on them can't go on the field to pull bows and arrows for them, but people have been eliminated, and it is useless to say more, it is better to watch the game quietly.

When the inquisitor sounded the drum again, the first round of mounted archery began in earnest, and the people were divided into two sides by the guards, with a large distance between them, and the inquisitor had just informed everyone that the contestants were to ride their horses to retrieve the prey released by the inquisitors.

To put it bluntly, it is to ask all the players to find prey, who takes back the large number, comes back early, will be able to win this game, Qianyu is not sure in his heart, this kind of thing is not only a good arrow, but also good luck, Qianyu has never felt that good luck has favored her, but today she needs good luck.

Zhu Wen: It's not hard to get Han Xuan, right? Zhao Xi.

Zhu Wen looked at Zhao Xi sideways, but saw that Zhao Xi's eyes had been staring at Han Xuan in Taichung, and there was actually emotion in his eyes that he couldn't understand.
