Chapter 203

"I hope the king will let those slaves go." Amami Xiu looked at the king and said seriously.

"Let them go?" The king was stunned by the request of Tianjian Xiu. He thought for a long time before asking, "Since Mr. Ye said that he is not from the Qin State, why do he want to intercede for these Qin people?" ”

Obviously, Amami's request had made the king suspicious, and at the same time, the guards around him had once again reverted to the tense posture of yesterday. The attitude of the king influenced their behavior.

Tianjian Xiu only smiled faintly at this and explained, "I intercede for them, not because they are from the Qin State. I just don't want to see anyone enslaved. ”

"Survival of the fittest, the strong have the right to dominate the weak." The king's tone suddenly became tough. He spoke of the reality of this era, where the strong dominate the weak. And this is the case with the current Qin State and Tu'an State, forced by the strong military forces of the Qin State, they had to make a compromise and marry their beloved daughter far away into the hands of the atrocity emperor.

Now that you want to let these people go because you simply don't want to see people enslaved, how can the king willingly agree to him?

Whereas, the king's daughter is kind. In the face of the tough father, she also interceded for those slaves.

"Father, please let them go, among those people, there are still helpless women and children."

The king glared at his daughter with dissatisfaction, why was her elbow still turned out. This is an adult gift that your father grabbed for you, how can you release these people again.

But......

Now that they are facing a state of peace between the two countries, it is not a matter if they keep holding on to these people, but they are not willing to let them go. The king's heart was also entangled. At this time, General Jin, who was standing aside, suddenly attached himself to the king's ear and said, "King, why don't we propose to compete with him three times." Two wins in three games, if he wins, let's let these people go. And if he loses, we're going to put them all to death. ”

General Jin naturally knew that it was a problem for these people to stay. And the original plan was to execute them all, in this case, even if the Qin State sent people at that time, they would not know that Tu'an had captured such a large group of conscripts and soldiers.

The king thought about General King's proposal for a moment and thought it was feasible. If the other party loses, even if he orders these people to be executed, he should not have any complaints. And if the other party wins, it will be a big deal for him to release these people, which will not cause much loss to Tuan. The marriage between the two countries is believed not to be angry with Tu'an for this matter.

Besides, the king did not think that his subordinate General Jin would lose to this man.

The king pretended to be embarrassed, and then said, "Since Yushu intercedes for these people, then I will give you a chance." ”

Hearing his father say that he would give him a chance, Yushu's eyes lit up. On the other hand, Tianjian Xiu was very calm, because what General Jin said in the king's ear just now had already been heard by him.

"Great, father, I knew you were the most merciful."

Yushu's praise made the king smile secretly, but the king's majesty should be maintained at this time. So he pretended to be serious and said: "Whether you can seize the opportunity or not depends on you." ”

After a pause, the king continued: "Since Mr. Night wants to save these slaves, then I propose that Mr. Night and General Jin compete three times, and win two out of three games. As long as Mr. Night wins, then these slaves will all be released, and if Mr. Night loses~"

The king said in a deep voice, "And if Mr. Night loses, then I will order that these slaves be executed immediately, and not a single one will be left!" Including the women and children! ”

Yushu's face changed, and he looked at his father anxiously, hoping that he would retract what he had just said. I thought that this would let those people go, but I didn't expect that the price of failure was so great. The king ignored his daughter's gaze and just looked at Amami Shu: "How is it, accept it?" ”

"Heh~" The corners of Amami Xiu's mouth curled, and he chuckled, and said, "Of course I accept such an interesting thing." ”

"Hahahaha." The king was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "Mr. Night is indeed a warrior, so let's start this competition in the afternoon." ”

"Good! I'm waiting! ”

After waiting for half a morning and a noon, Tianjian Xiu finally waited for the time of the competition. It was still the Colosseum, all the seats were full, and the king was still sitting in his place. In front of him, there were several square wooden signs.

"These wooden cards have the content of the competition, the way of the three competitions, and the content of the remake, which determines the way you will compete in the next few games."

The back of the wooden cards is all the same, but it is also possible for them to cheat by the order of the wooden cards.

The king looked at Tianjian Xiu: "Let Mr. Night choose first." ”

Tianjian Xiu didn't hesitate, and casually turned over a wooden card. The wooden sign has four words written on it: 'Archery Competition' in black.

Scold! Tianjian Xiu couldn't help but laugh secretly, the first game was compared to archery, which is his best at.

Similarly, General Kim laughed in his heart when he saw the words 'Archery Competition' written on the wooden plaque. Archery is also his best skill, and he thinks that he will definitely win this first competition.

Both of them have a good confidence in themselves, and it depends on how they play in the next competition.

Soon, two targets were placed side by side.

Each person has five chances to shoot an arrow, and the person who hits the red dot in the bull's-eye counts as ten points. Shots from other positions are counted as five points, and shots missed are not scored. If five arrows are fired and the two still don't decide the winner, continue until there is a difference in scores.

The soldier gave each of them a longbow and a quiver with ten arrows.

After taking the bow and arrows, Tianjian Xiu raised his hand to pull the bow and string, and it was done in one go. He shot at the arrow in front of him without aiming at it.

"Whoosh!"

The arrow feather made a sound in the air, and with a 'bang', the arrow was shot into the target, and the position was the center of the target. Subsequently, Amami Shu shot the remaining four arrows in succession, and all four arrows hit the center of the target. The entire five arrows were all in the center of the target, and the red heart at this time was already full of arrows, and there was no open space.

Next it was General Kim's turn. He held his bow and arrow for a few seconds before he shot it.

With a "bang", the arrow hit the red heart, ten.

Immediately afterward, General Kim also shot out the four arrows behind him. Similarly, all five arrows hit the red bull's-eye. The two of them had the same score at this time, and they could only continue the competition through the arrows behind them. General Kim mounted the arrow again and shot it out. The arrow hit the target again, but it didn't hit the heart, because it was already full of arrows.

Fifty-five points, it depends on what the heavens see and cultivate.

The corners of Tianjian Xiu's mouth curled slightly, and as soon as the [Eagle Eye] opened, he quickly pulled up his bow and arrow.

"Whoosh!"

The arrow feathers fly,

"Ding!"

When they looked around, they found that there were only five arrows on the target, the five arrows on the heart. And when everyone thought that General Jin had won, they saw General Jin frowning and walking to the arrow target that Tianjian Xiu shot.

He crouched down and picked up the split arrow from the ground. These two arrows were originally one, and they were inserted into the red heart of the target. But the arrow that Amami Xiu shot just now directly split the one that should have been inserted in the center, occupying the position where it was supposed to be.

The six arrows were all in the bull's-eye, a total of sixty points, five points more than General Kim. In the first game, it was Amami Xiu who won.
