Chapter 162: Hunt for Prey
Chapter 162: Hunt for Prey
Zhao Xi: Not necessarily, Han Xuan's archery is very good, and equestrianism is also good, but ...... This depends on luck, if Han Xuan doesn't even see the prey they let out, how can this be collected? At that time, no matter how good your archery skills are and how good your riding skills are, it will not help.
Zhu Wen: No! Since he has just been released, he can touch one or two anyway! Don't lose miserably!
Zhao Xi: Look at it! It's too early to tell.
Having said that, Zhao Xi was beating a drum in his heart, and he was also starting to be a little scared, he didn't know what other tricks there were in this shooting competition, but he knew that in this round, she needed luck.
"Prey, what kind of prey will it be? Birds, animals, jackals, tigers and leopards are all prey, so it seems that this round may take a little more time."
Outside the field, hundreds of horses galloped together, the dust left, the dust danced and the horses flew, each player did his best, and was bound to win the first place.
The horses galloped on the road, but Qianyu's eyes kept looking at both sides of the road, the people who came and went to cheer for everyone, and the refugees who were displaced, listlessly following the crowd, they did not have this race in their eyes, only the next kind person who was willing to give food to themselves.
Qianyu didn't think about it, rode away, followed the other players around the outside of Yongzhou City, and didn't see any special prey, Qianyu looked around, almost all the players gathered in one place, so that even if the prey was found, everyone would fight because of the scramble,
"It's too much time to go on like this, you have to leave them, lest you get the arrows and hurt people without eyes" Qianyu turned the horse's head, without a rein in his hand, but it took a lot of effort, seeing that the others had no intention of leaving, Qianyu rode away in a hurry.
"Where is this man going?" Among the contestants, Yang Qiwei, who was second only to Qianyu in scores, seemed to pay attention to the masked young man, and as soon as Qianyu left, he also rode away with him, not far behind Qianyu.
In Yongzhou City, everyone was waiting for the players to return, Zhao Xi and a few people were pacing back and forth anxiously, no one followed the players who went to catch prey, and their news was not known at all, it didn't matter, the people in the court didn't even tell everyone the rules of the game, and the players didn't know the rules, and they didn't even know when they would be eliminated.
Qianyu has already gone around outside the city for a long time, and she has not gained anything, although her face is sweating, she has not seen a little impatience, all the way indifferent, wandering around the city carelessly, even though her legs have begun to ache because of riding for too long, she still has not dismounted.
"Alas...... Wait here for a while! All the hours have passed, and I haven't seen anyone come back."
Zhao Xi found an open space and sat down, but Zhu Wen and the others were still standing, and they were not in the mood to watch the game at all, the players all rode out, and they only watched from the wall, and it was useless to be anxious, just wait slowly!
The judges on the stage were full of laziness, and they were all waiting for the people in front of them to pass the news, but after so long, the people in front of them did not send any news back, and this year's contestants are really worrying.
"The prey released by the inquisitor must have been marked with a special mark, and they will not be allowed to go into the woods, but they have come this way, but there is no special prey."
Seeing that the sun was about to set in a few hours, Qianyu began to be a little anxious, she was far away from the other players, and she didn't know how they were progressing now, she knew that if she didn't find the prey in time today, it would be even more troublesome after dark, like a stone sinking into the sea, and there was no hope of finding them out.
Yang Qiwei, the commander of the fifth battalion of the infantry, was ordered by Ji Yun, Ji Yun had so many chess pieces in his hands, he was just one of them, among these players, there were many characters like Yang Qiwei who were in Chu but obeyed the orders of others.
Ji Yun is also very clear, how many people secretly are eyeing the handsome position of the Chu State, everyone knows very well that the handsome position is second only to the general's position, and he holds half of the military power under the general, if the general is the king on the battlefield, then the military commander is half of the master next to the king, so he is known as the national teacher on the battlefield, and the person who wins the handsome order will sit on the battlefield as a military advisor.
This victory is just a formality, and the most important recognition comes from Gongsun Yuting, and Gongsun Yuting is sitting behind the curtain of the ring at this moment, he has been observing the stage from the beginning of the game, and he remembers the appearance of every excellent player.
Qianyu, who was far away outside the city, naturally didn't know, her actions were all taken into account, and the eyes that were secretly observing her always exuded a cold murderous aura, as if she would be executed no matter whether she succeeded or failed, she had been calculated from the beginning.
The murderous aura in the secret made Qianyu uncomfortable, she carefully paid attention to the environment around her, and it had changed from one pair of eyes to many pairs of eyes, Qianyu only felt that someone was following her every step she took, so she let the horse slow down.
As soon as the horse under Qianyu slowed down, two arrows flew out of the woods, shooting at her fiercely, it seemed that she had to die, she snorted coldly, jumped up from the horse, and the two arrows passed straight through, she had not yet gasped, and two arrows were shot in the air, not relentless.
"Are these people on the same road or are they deliberately arranged?"
Forced by arrows, Qianyu had no chance to get close to the horse's back, she suddenly realized that these people's arrows were deadly, but she couldn't fall off the horse's back, this competition did something very difficult, and this selection of the pillars of the court was really not ordinarily strict.
"I wonder if the person who came up with this method has experienced it himself? If it weren't for the good physical strength and light skills, I'm afraid I would have fallen off the horse in fright, do other players have this treatment? ”
Attacked by the arrow, Qianyu had to jump off the horse, perform light skills on the grass and trees, wait for the arrow to pass, and landed firmly on the horse's back, after a few rounds, she was a little angry, these people simply have to inch in, she repeatedly retreated, but the tighter they pressed.
As a last resort, Qianyu could only return the same treatment as them, she pulled out the morning dragon on her waist, activated the mechanism, the morning dragon bow and arrow was immediately in hand, she took advantage of their exchange of arrows, stood on the back of the horse and shot an arrow at them, after the three arrows were shot, the danger gradually decreased, she withdrew the arrow, and rode away.
As soon as Qianyu left, Yang Qiwei walked out of the woods, looking at the three people who fell to the ground, he checked their wounds, his brows furrowed, it seemed that he had met a powerful character.
Qianyu rode his horse all the way back to the city, and met a few players leading horses on the road, these people had fallen off the horse, they were eliminated, and seeing that no one had prey, Qianyu's heart was also balanced.
"Will the people of the court tell lies? Did they release their prey? ”
"Or is this prey not actually prey, but ......"
Qianyu looked at the people on the road carefully, she ran this road no less than three times, and she didn't see anything unusual, but now it made her a little confused, and she always felt that something was strange.
"By the way, it's the strange people who are walking back and forth, it's not early, everyone is trying to go back to the city, why do they keep wandering outside the city?"
"Could it be ......" A bold thought flashed through Qianyu's mind, she looked at those people, and suddenly, she saw a mark under the root of a man's ear, like a number.
"You, come here" Qianyu rode to the group of people, called the man to him, bent down and pulled the man's collar, and sure enough, he saw that there was a mark under his ear.
"You're not from Chu?" Qianyu asked sharply, grabbing the man and holding on, the others wanted to run away when they saw this, but Qianyu's eyes frightened them.
"None of them are from Chu, it turns out that this is the case, the people of the imperial court really have a way, and they actually take these southerners as prey"
At this time, Qianyu understood that the prey released by the people of the court was actually a captive Nanguo, which wanted to let the king of Nan know what kind of mood it would be? I am afraid that it will lead to another war between the two countries.
Qianyu took out the morning dragon, shook it and replaced it with the morning dragon silk, and tied everyone up with the morning dragon silk, and tied it strongly, she was a little unbearable, but she had to send them back, otherwise she wouldn't be able to win the game.
"I'm sorry! Everyone, I hope you will forgive me for many offenses."
Qianyu pulled Chenlongsi, rode a horse and led everyone back to the city, she sat on horseback, occasionally looked back behind her, just as she rode into the city, Yang Qiwei, who was behind her, shot an arrow and killed a person.
"Xiu ......" Another arrow shot out, Yang Qiwei held the bow and stared, squinting at Qianyu, as soon as the arrow in his hand was shot, he replaced it with another arrow.
"Look for death!" Seeing this, Qianyu put down the morning dragon silk, took the bow and arrow from her back, and wanted to shoot an arrow at Yang Qiwei, but she saw that the arrow in Yang Qiwei's hand was a little strange.
"The arrows in his hand are not the arrows provided by the imperial court, if I shoot arrows at him, I will fall for his tricks, which is absolutely unacceptable."
It turned out that Yang Qiwei already knew that Qianyu had shot a few people with the morning dragon in the woods, and now she used the morning dragon to tie up those southerners and attack her prey, she could only use the bow and arrow of the competition, as long as she shot at Yang Qiwei, she would be disqualified from participating at that time.
"What do you want?" Qianyu asked sharply, her eyes glaring at Yang Qiwei, she knew that Yang Qiwei was threatening herself, and he saw her using the Morning Dragon.
"I don't want to do anything, just ask you for a few people, if you don't give them, they won't survive to enter the city, what?" Yang Qiwei smiled proudly, and his hideous smile made Qianyu want to tear his face.
In the woods just now, he was also frightened by Qianyu's skills, he didn't expect him to have such good skills at a young age, although he had seen his archery skills on the field, but he never thought that he was even more surprising when he was full of murderous energy.
If Yang Qiwei knew that the young man in his eyes was his daughter, I am afraid he would be even more surprised!
