The difficulty of the second assessment is naturally much more difficult than the first, and the test is mounted archery, which is similar to hunting.

Shao Chen had a sad face early in the morning.

Xie Dong looked at it and asked, "What's wrong with you?" Didn't you perform well in the last assessment? Uncle shouldn't have scolded you, why do you have a sagging face? ”

"Hey, brother, don't you know, it's because I behaved very well last time that my father has great expectations for me, and even invited the neighbors around me to dinner, bragging to them, I am also the commander of the imperial front this time until the powerful candidate, you say, I don't have such a big face, how did my father say this?" Shao Chen kept sighing, as if he was going to finish all the qi in this life.

Xie Dong couldn't bear to be so depressed for his good brother, but today's assessment was indeed much more difficult, in addition to the accuracy of the archery, there were also high requirements for the ability to ride a horse.

He patted Shao Chen's shoulder and said, "It's okay, just do your best, don't put too much pressure on yourself, uncle, I believe that uncle he can see your efforts, by the way, today's competition is still dangerous, you must pay attention to safety, don't be reckless when encountering things, you know?" ”

Knowing that Xie Dong was worried about himself, Shao Chen was not such a person who didn't know what to do, "Don't worry, I will definitely take care of myself, besides, didn't Your Majesty and Mrs. Xie also send the imperial doctor to follow?" It's going to be fine. ”

However, Xie Dong still frowned, and the worry in his eyebrows could not dissipate.

He has also participated in a lot of competitions, although most people who practice martial arts are upright people, and they will not do such things that fall into the well and harm people's lives, but they are not afraid of 10,000 in case, this time in the martial arts assessment, so many people are eyeing that position, Shao Chen is very impulsive in doing things on weekdays, he is really worried that he will be calculated.

That's it, even if you scratch your head here, it's useless, let's take one step at a time.

After the first round of elimination, there are less than 60 people left in the competition, and after today's assessment, some more will be eliminated, and only 10 people will enter the final round.

In the stands, Yan Feifei asked in a low voice: "Master, since we already know that this Xiang Long was sent by Sun Tong, do you say, should we do something to eliminate him?" If he really picked up the leak and made him the commander of the Imperial Palace, wouldn't we lure the wolf into the house? ”

Xie Chengli smiled, "There is no need to go through such a big effort, I believe that he is definitely not Xie Dong's opponent, what we have to do now should be to protect Xie Dong and prevent others from using any dirty means to eliminate him." ”

"Oh~ Master, have you been optimistic about him for a long time?"

"Not really, it's just that the last game was really refreshing."

"The last game?" Yan Feifei thought about it carefully and said: "But Master, although this Xie Dong performed well in my last game, he is still ranked behind Xiang Long, are you sure that he can eliminate Xiang Long?" ”

Yan Feifei is not unimpressed with Xie Dong, but she really doesn't know much about this person.

"That last arrow, I guess he did it on purpose."

"Deliberately shot crooked? Why? Wouldn't he want to win today's game? ”

"Wrong, he is like this because he wants to win."

In today's riding and archery competition, the contestants rode into the paddock on horseback, and the time limit was three sticks of incense, whoever hunted the most prey, the best, had the highest score, and their competition in the paddock, they were invisible to those who were outside, which also gave them the opportunity to unite against the front few places.

And that day's archery competition, the last arrow, Xie Dong was indeed deliberate, neither too far behind, nor so that he would become the first target of everyone to deal with, as long as Xiang Long attracted most of the firepower, he could get as much prey as possible in a limited time.

"Please enter the paddock in an orderly manner."

As Zhang Jiang's words fell, everyone rode their war horses and entered the paddock.

Xie Dong stretched out his hand to Shao Chen, "Shao Chen, believe in yourself." ”

Shao Chen shook it hard and nodded, "I believe in myself!" You too, you can't let someone else win the first place this time. ”

"Don't worry, I'll definitely win the first place for you this time!"

The two brothers smiled at each other, and then ran to the paddock together.

Yan Feifei, who watched this scene, was enthusiastic, "This makes me want to go down and have a try." ”

Jiang Li on the side came out at the right time and poured cold water, "Your Majesty, you can't even ride a horse, and you can't hold arrows steadily, so don't get on it." ”

Zhang Jiang and Yuan Liu also snickered on the side.

Yan Feifei glared at her, "You talk a lot, but I really want to go and see what the situation is inside, it must be very intense, right?" ”

Zhang Jiang hurriedly persuaded on the side: "Your Majesty, this must not be, the sword has no eyes, there is a lot of chaos here, what if you are promoted to Your Majesty?" Your Majesty, don't go. ”

"Alright, alright, I got it."

Although Yan Feifei said that he couldn't go, the look of expectation on his face still made Xie Chengli take it to heart.

Then he said, "Your Majesty, if you really want to go and see it, you can do it, but you have to promise me first, you must stay behind me, and remember not to run around." ”

"Did you promise me?" Yan Feifei was so excited that he almost jumped up.

"Master Taifu, you can't spoil Your Majesty so much, what if something really happens?"

"It's okay, with me and Fengying, I won't let Your Majesty have an accident, I'll leave it to you here, Your Majesty, let's go."

"Good!"

Jiang Li looked at the backs of the two leaving, and couldn't help but envy: "Mrs. Xie is too good to Your Majesty, almost responding." ”

Yan Feifei went to the tent to change into a neat outfit, and then the three of them entered the paddock together.

As soon as he entered, he saw several guards picking up prey on the ground, and when he saw Xie Chengli, he immediately saluted, "Master Taifu, why did you come in?" ”

"After all, I am the organizer of this martial arts trial, so I also want to come and see, how is the situation now? Who is ahead? ”

"Returning to Master Taifu, according to the current situation, Li Jisi is slightly ahead, and Xie Dong is close behind, and there is not much difference."

"What about Xiang Long?"

"It's strange to say, this Xianglong archery skill is so superb, and his riding skills are not bad, shouldn't he be so far behind?" As he spoke, the guard remembered the rumors circulating in Kyoto some time ago, and said flatteringly, "But don't worry, Master Taifu, Li Jisi should be able to win the first place in this competition." ”
