Chapter Seventy-Six: An Arrow Through the Clouds
Everything was ready to stop, and He Qiguang politely invited Kang Yutong to the stage, "Before the competition, let's practice first." After speaking, He Qiguang pulled the string with an arrow, and an arrow hit the bull's-eye, and a cheer sounded.
Kang Yutong pressed the word "safe" in his heart, kept strength in his hand, and an arrow came out of his hand, and he also hit the bull's-eye steadily.
"Cloud piercing arrows, I can remember cloud piercing arrows, it's not like this." The emperor slapped the table, and his tone was very unhappy.
Kang Yutong's heart tightened, piercing the clouds and acting safely, and the two sides were a little out of proportion.
Kang Yuche and He Qiwang came on the field, each with a pear on their heads, and a piece of black satin tied to their eyes. This means that they are just a live target, they can't dodge, and life and death are completely in the hands of their respective brothers.
He Qiguang shot first, he only raised his eyes to look at He Qiwang's position, and there was almost no hesitation in his hand, and an arrow was shot out immediately, just hitting the pear.
"Good ......"
Kang Yutong set up the arrow, watched his hands, and used his hands as he pleased, he could control these, but for some reason, there was a rush in his hands, and the hand holding the tail of the arrow slowly became stronger......
An arrow is fired.
The arrow rushed to the top of Kang Yuche's head with the strength in his hand, impartial, as steady as Mount Tai all moving forward, and with a bang, it smashed on the pear on the top of Kang Yuche's head, smashing it into pieces, and the pear juice flowed down Kang Yuche's hair.
"Okay, good ......" The emperor couldn't help but stand up, stroked his palms and applauded loudly.
The arrow didn't stop until it was nailed to the target Red Heart ten paces behind.
Everyone got up and applauded Kang Yutong's arrow, He Qiguang's face became embarrassed, and he smiled coldly, "The cloud-piercing arrow is really powerful, it seems that I have to work hard." ”
Kang Yutong turned his head to look at him, and the look on his face made him feel uneasy.
"This round, you first." What a nice thing to say.
Kang Yutong can hold a string and dare not take it seriously. He thought about the arrow just now, and thought in his heart that the emperor's sentence "I want to see through the cloud arrow" was too heavy, and this time he had to press it.
He pulled the bow and saw the position, and as soon as he released his fingers, he suddenly felt something hit his injured leg, and this sudden blow made his whole body tremble, and the hand holding the bow also trembled slightly. Oops, I thought about it for a long time, it was all on this arrow, but I never thought that they would dare to fight such an indiscriminate idea in front of everyone.
The arrow, wrapped in the wind, went straight forward, slashed through the pear, and landed on the ground. Kang Yuche took off the silk cloth that covered his eyes, looked at the pears that fell at his feet, and was a little surprised.
However, this ending was good in Kang Yutong's heart, he breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately he held the bow straight, even if he was so conspiratorial, he didn't deviate a little bit, but just missed the pear.
He Qiguang's face did not show any clues, he just safely shot an arrow with a bow, and this arrow was hit again.
"General He's arrows are not missing." Kang Yutong agreed, turned around and came back to get the arrow, and hit him on the leg again, causing him to stumble and fall to the ground.
Kang Yuche hurriedly ran up to help.
"Someone is plotting against me." Kang Yutong took advantage of this opportunity and hurriedly said to him. Looking around, there are only stones that fall at your feet, and they don't look different from the stones next to them, and you can't verify anything. Looking at the people in this circle, in addition to a few generals from the Kang family, there are several people, all of whom are civil officials, even if they are staring here, I am afraid that they will not be able to see the flaws.
"Alas, although I know the people at this table, but they don't recognize any of the entourage, I really can't point fingers at anyone, if you are beaten, ...... direction you can point, big brother"
"Don't come back, don't take risks. We throw in the towel. ”
Kang Yuche looked at Kang Yutong's firm eyes and nodded obediently.
Kang Yutong pretended to be reluctant to hold Kang Yuche and stood up, "Alas." It's a pity that I'm an old wound, I'm afraid I can't compare. General Ho, I'm really sorry. ”
"Oh? This win or loss is not scored, how can it be good......" He Qiguang gradually couldn't hide the smile on his face.
"Why didn't I score, I've lost an arrow, I've already lost." Kang Yutong waved his hand and eagerly got off the stage.
"Then why are you embarrassed to say this, two wins in three games, and one game is still unfinished, and the victory or defeat is still unknown, or, let's wait for Kang Gongzi to rest for a while, and then come to the competition?"
"The Cloud Piercing Arrow was defeated like this? How embarrassing? The emperor slapped the table and became angry.
Everyone was shocked and knelt down to make amends.
The crown prince looked at the emperor's appearance, and began to feel that something was not quite right. But he didn't dare to rashly disobey the emperor's wishes, so he could only step forward and persuade, "Father, Kang Yutong is injured, it's really not easy to ......"
"Then you go to ......" The emperor didn't listen to the prince's details, and pushed the prince out.
The prince was shocked, but in front of everyone's eyes, he couldn't say anything. He walked in front of Kang Yutong in the eyes of everyone's puzzled and puzzled.
Kang Yutong handed over the bow and arrow, and his gesture slowed down, "Your Highness, after all, it is about Yuche's life, if it is ......" He raised his eyes to look at the crown prince, his eyes were earnest, "I will ask Your Majesty for the guilt." ”
The prince took Kang Yutong's bow and arrows, which were heavier than he thought, but he also made it. He glanced back at the emperor again, and the emperor's eyes widened, "It's a good comparison, don't bear the cloud-piercing arrow." ”
He turned around, and saw the restless Kang Yufei looking at him, a look of expectation and urgency, he hadn't seen such a flaming gaze in her eyes for a long time, only looking at himself, completely only looking at himself, he suddenly wanted to try. Piercing the clouds, he can't use it, but how bright it is to win, there should be no problem.
He tried to pull the bowstring, steady and heavy, he suddenly remembered that this bow was a little familiar, and quickly pulled Kang Yutong, who was about to step down, and asked, "This bow, but the Hou Ye used it?" ”
"Indeed, it was given to me by my father a few years ago."
The crown prince hurriedly summoned Zhao Baojiang to the front, "Hurry up and find Wang Yanfeng, he doesn't seem to be on a bad trip today, go out of the palace to find it, and find it for me immediately." "There is a particularly important thing that needs Wang Yanfeng at the moment, that is, the emperor's illness seems to be variable. Today, the emperor is not only unusually interested, but also obsessed with the cloud-piercing arrow, which really makes him feel uneasy.
Kang Yutong took advantage of the whispering between the prince and Zhao Baojiang, and hurriedly explained a few words to Kang Yuche, "When the prince comes to power, the He family probably doesn't dare to use their brains." But...... I don't know how good his archery skills are, but the most important thing is to keep an eye on yourself and protect yourself. ”
"Don't worry, big brother, I'm good at running for my life." Kang Yuche smiled innocently, making Kang Yutong's taut strings loosen slightly.
This time, He Qiguang didn't know if he lost the good luck just now or was distracted, or he didn't dare to win at all. This arrow really missed the mark, and it was out of the distance of several pears.
Kang Yufei silently made a wish in her heart, it doesn't matter if the prince wins or loses this arrow, but don't hurt the third brother, if the third brother is safe, she will grit her teeth in the future, and she will definitely smile more at the prince.
The prince stood on the stage, raised his hand and drew his bow, looked at Kang Yuche who was standing upright in the distance, and there was a wave of anger for no reason, he took a deep breath, but he still couldn't hold back his heart, if it wasn't for the person in front of him, he might have lived a much more comfortable life. The prince sighed and put his bow down again.
"Your Highness, if it is ......"
"Out of the way." The crown prince raised his bow again, and this time his gaze crossed Kang Yufei's body, and his mood was naturally much calmer.
The bow and arrows were all set, and when the arrow was finally shot, the prince held his breath, drew his bow, and prepared to release the arrow.
Suddenly, a dull pain spread to his leg, he was in pain, and the strength in his hand couldn't help but loosen, and the arrow was released unprepared.
