Chapter 13 (2)
There is a towering red bean tree growing on the side of the Huaishui side barracks, and the east wind comes overnight, and it blows the dead branches and blooms. Even after seeing such a scene, few people could have imagined that after the pink flowers were defeated, clumps of red beans would grow on the trees, just like acacia that had entered the bones at some point.
Facing Xiao Qiao's question, Da Qiao was silent for a moment, then raised his eyes and smiled: "I can't hide my mind from Wan'er, but that Sun Bofu is used to teasing people, but I am afraid that I will be born well, and I don't know how many places to be merciful...... If I don't go, will I see myself sinking deeper and deeper? ”
Xiao Qiao had never seen Da Qiao so gloomy, gently grabbed her slender jade hand, and persuaded: "Sister, although I don't like that Sun Bofu, I don't think he is a light person, and he doesn't care about his sister's care like he pretends." My sister has a high spirit, and she hasn't met anyone for so many years, if she really likes him, why should she leave. ”
"If it were a normal time, maybe I could wait a little longer, but now that Cao Jun is here, my father may go into battle to kill the enemy at any time. If we two sisters stay here, our father will be distracted...... Wan'er doesn't need to be persuaded, we'll set off tonight. ”
"Huh?" Xiao Qiao's eyes were round, and he looked stunned, "Leave when it's time?" The chickens haven't gotten up yet! ”
"Sun Bofu said that he would come to see us off in the morning, I was afraid that he would be entangled again, so we simply set off in the middle of the night, and we could get to Lujiang earlier."
Xiao Qiao listened to Da Qiao's words, and lay back in despair, and after a while, the carp stood up and danced his little fist: "Sister, don't be afraid of the disciple, if he peesters you, I will beat him!" Even if he's not afraid of stone arrows, I still have that killer weapon. ”
When Da Qiao heard this, he was so frightened that he covered Xiao Qiao's mouth: "Don't talk nonsense, and don't look at what kind of place this is?" Besides, I just don't want to see him, and I don't want to kill him! ”
Xiao Qiaoming's eyes flickered, and he smiled smartly: "Sister is really, this is distressing?" ”
Knowing that he had fallen for Xiao Qiao's scheme, Da Qiao hurriedly changed the topic with a red face: "You still say me, who did you go to see during the banquet last night?" Looking at me, don't you know? ”
Hearing Da Qiao say this, Xiao Qiao's thin body was shocked, and he blushed and pretended to be stupid: "I went to change my clothes, but I didn't see anyone." ”
Seeing that Xiao Qiao's cheeks were flushed with a lovely crimson, Da Qiao became more and more sure, and stepped forward with a smile: "My sister is really a noble person who forgets things, who did you leave the table with last night?" And that Sun Zhongmou, I saw him look at you again and again during the banquet, and he left as soon as you left...... I really didn't expect that we Wan'er would just kill two birds with one stone as soon as we made a move! ”
Xiao Qiao was embarrassed, and argued with a stiff neck: "Sister said something else, then Sun Zhongmou has nothing to do with me!" That Sun Bofu is already annoyed to death, I don't want to have anything to do with the people of the Sun family anymore! ”
In the small courtyard of Shouchun City, Sun Ce felt a chill inexplicably, he hurriedly stood up, comforted his muscles and bones, and shouted to Zhou Yu and Sun Quan: "Gongjin Zhongmou, are you comparable?" Seeing that the rain is going to be heavy, no matter how much I compare, I am afraid that the arrow target will not be able to see it really. ”
Zhou Yu smiled: "The person who compares the arrow is not in a hurry, but you are in a hurry like this." Zhongmou hasn't said what to gamble on, so you wait. ”
Sun Ce became more and more impatient, and said with a smile: "What can Zhongmou bet on?" It's nothing more than food and drink, and at most a weapon......"
As he spoke, Sun Ce turned his gaze to Sun Quan, but he couldn't help but stop, for more than ten years, he had never seen Sun Quan look like this.
Looking at Zhou Yu, who was as gentle as jade, Sun Quan felt more and more rude, after all, he and Xiao Qiao only had a two-sided relationship, and Zhou Yu had nothing to do with her. Sun Quan smiled awkwardly and said abruptly: "It's Zhongmou's rudeness, please ask Brother Gongjin to teach me." ”
Zhou Yu didn't understand why Sun Quan was so sad, but he couldn't bear to see this kid like this, he stepped forward and patted Sun Quan on the shoulder: "Zhongmou, don't think so, don't stick to today, but as long as you and I compare arrows, as long as you win, I will promise you one thing at any time, how about it?" ”
Sun Quan was stunned, he didn't expect Zhou Yu to take his feelings into account so much, not only saving face for him, but also urging him to practice hard, which was really in stark contrast to his unruly brother. Sun Quan turned from stunned to happy, revealing a tiger tooth: "Thank you, Brother Gongjin!" ”
Wu Jing stepped forward while applauding: "Since it's a competition, at least you have to drink a bowl of wine?" ”
As if watching a trick, everyone watched Wu Jing take out two tea bowls from his arms, and pulled out a wine gourd from his waist: "Du Kang at the banquet last night, I secretly filled a pot, and now it happens to be simple because of ugliness." ”
Mrs. Wu said angrily: "You are really, don't be greedy for wine at such an age, lest you make a mistake." ”
Han Dang laughed and said, "The old man testified that General Wu had never made a mistake in the barracks because of drinking. ”
Wu Jing handed the tea bowl to Zhou Yu and Sun Quan respectively, and said to Han Dang with a smile: "General Han, don't be idle, come to the middle of the arbitration for the two children, and be a judge." ”
"But it's disrespectful", Han Dang walked to the courtyard, compared the length of his feet, each fifty steps, and drew a line on the ground with stones, and then said to Zhou Yu and Sun Quan: "The rules are very simple, the two of them shoot three times, and the one with the most wins, no shooting, no hunting, no penetration." ”
Sun Shangxiang sat beside Mrs. Wu, tilted her head and asked, "Mother, what is 'no shooting, no hunting, no penetration'?" ”
Mrs. Wu patted Sun Shangxiang's little head and said gently: "Whoever shoots through the arrow target first wins, and you are not allowed to scare you Uncle Han with arrows." ”
Sun Shangxiang couldn't cry or laugh when she heard it: "How is it possible...... Uncle Han is really naughty. ”
After Zhou Yu and Sun Quan saluted, they both stood in front of the line, and Sun Quan shot up the main position and shot the bow first. After Han Tian gave the order, he took a deep breath and looked at the bull's-eye.
After the first arrow was shot, both of them hit the bull's-eye, and everyone in the hall applauded. It's just that if the argument is right, Sun Quan is half an inch away from Zhou Yu.
Jiang Zuo Zhoulang really deserves his reputation, he is thin, but he holds the bow extremely steadily, and the arrows are like straight lines, going straight towards the bull's-eye, without half a point of bias, it can be called a miracle skill. Sun Quan was dumbfounded, and sighed in his heart, if he didn't make changes, he would have no chance of winning against Zhou Yu at all.
After Han Dang stepped forward to check the arrow target, he motioned for the two to continue. Sun Quan bent his bow again, and his thoughts were uneasy: although he knew that Zhou Yu was as high as the galaxy, he didn't expect that one day he would compare himself with him with the light of fireflies. Thinking of Xiao Qiao's eyes looking at Zhou Yu, Sun Quan shook his hands, he hurriedly put down the bow, shook his head vigorously, and tried to get rid of the distracting thoughts in his heart, and then bent the bow again, and after the left index finger touched the cold arrow cluster, he immediately let go of the thumb of his right hand, and the arrow feather broke through the wind and was nailed two or three inches away from the bull's-eye.
The heartstrings trembled, the arrow strings were difficult to stabilize, this shot was a big failure, Sun Quan laughed at himself, and turned to greet Zhou Yu.
Zhou Yu smiled gently, bent his bow and arrow, and hit the bull's-eye again. Sun Shangxiang couldn't help cheering and shouted: "Brother Gongjin is so powerful, he is really the best in the world!" ”
Sun Shangxiang's shout made everyone laugh, but made Sun Quan relax a little. Zhou Yu was so light and light, but it seemed that he was too petty, Sun Quan took a deep breath and relaxed his tense arms, raised his eyes to look directly at the arrow target, and vigorously pulled the bow, only to hear the sound of the string, and the arrow hit the bull's-eye again.
Even so, the winners and losers are clear. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Zhou Yu's archery skills are far above Sun Quan. Wu Jing and Zhu Zhi whispered, afraid that Zhou Yu would be able to shoot the bullseye effortlessly even if he was blindfolded.
Sun Quan looked at Zhou Yu in front of him, and only sighed that he seemed to be favored by God and flawless, even if Xiao Qiao had blue eyes for him, it was logical. In any case, he lost, but he lost to Zhou Yu, and he really had to accept it.
At this moment, Zhou Yu drew his bow and aimed at the bull's-eye fifty steps away, and with a sound of the string, he missed the target and hit the courtyard wall. Everyone was stunned for a long time, as if they couldn't believe their eyes.
Zhou Yu put down the bow, turned around and said with a smile: "I only wanted to penetrate the target for three inches, but I didn't expect to be able to shoot straight ahead, which made everyone laugh." ”
Of course, Sun Shangxiang was not satisfied with such a result, and pouted: "Brother Gongjin releases the water!" ”
Everyone laughed heartily, but Sun Ce looked at Zhou Yu thoughtfully. In the blink of an eye, Sun Ce put on a look of hanging children, and said to Han Dang Zhu Zhi: "The two generals invite the house to talk, and tomorrow General Zhu will send my mother back to Jiangdu, and I have something to explain." In addition, I would like to ask General Han to bring some men and horses early tomorrow morning and go with me to Lujiang to see off people. ”
Zhu Zhi and Han Dang were both very curious, who did Sun Ce want to send, it was even more important than sending his own mother? The two glanced at each other, hugged their fists at Sun Ce, and walked towards the hall in unison.
Zhou Yu deliberately walked slowly, and after everyone left, Sun Ce turned his head and asked in a low voice, "Gong Jin, what's wrong with Fang Cai?" ”
"The moment I shot the arrow, I noticed that someone was peeping at me at the cloister gate, but before I could see clearly, the person had already run away."
Sun Ce stared at Zhou Yu's handsome face exposed in broad daylight, couldn't help but be startled, patted his thigh and said, "It's broken!" ”
