Chapter 22

Each country has its own characteristics, and so is the country.

This place was not familiar to other countries, and even unknown one or two hundred years ago, and it has been hidden for a long time. It wasn't until there was a strange man in this country who was traced to his ancestors that the world knew about it. But to say that it is a country, in fact, it can only be counted as a city, only a square inch of land, and there is no place to be, but it is self-sufficient, does not interact with the outside world, and does not belong to any country, so many countries often ignore it when making a map of a hundred countries.

Yeguo was not included in the conscription, and Zi Xian did not want to disturb this place outside the world, but the road was in the way, so he had to go here and rest here.

Prince Shi Shu and General Ning Zeqing were sitting at the white jade table, explaining to King Ye in order to disturb him, but King Ye didn't care.

"A few days ago, there was a sudden fight between Zhenguo and Shanguo because of a border dispute, and we should have passed through it, but now the army is in chaos, so we can only use this way. Fortunately, the king of Ye agreed that we could camp here, otherwise we would have to sleep in the wilderness. Shi Shu thanked him.

"There are many rough people in the army, and if you run against the king and your people, please forgive your sins." Ning Zeqing saluted.

"Speaking of which, this war should be the eighty-sixth war between the two countries." Shi Shu suddenly remembered and said.

Ye Yi, the lord of the country, is a handsome young man, handsome and handsome, in fact, he is nearly thirty years old, but the mountains and forests here are beautiful, ethereal and transparent, and he has been cultivated here for many years, so he looks much younger.

Ye Yi waved his hand and said with a smile: "This is the old feud between the two countries, no matter how they fight, it is like a quarrel at home, and when outsiders say it, it seems to be involved in other people's family affairs." ”

Shi Shu smiled: "Indeed, when the two countries are friendly, heaven and earth are allies, but if there is a gap, they become enemies, I really can't understand what they think." ”

Ning Zeqing saw that Ye Yiyun was light and light, and asked him: "The two countries of Ye and Zhendan are not far from here, so they are not afraid that they will be disturbed by war?" ”

Ye Yi took a sip of wine and replied to him: "Whether to fight or not, to disturb or not to disturb, it is not up to me to decide, so why should I worry a lot." Heaven is destined, if you die, you will not be able to return to the ends of the earth if you flee to the ends of the earth, not to mention ......" he laughed, "the earth is dead, and people are alive, how can there be a reason to keep the dead and destroy people." Even if one day you inadvertently get involved in a disaster and face the difficulty of losing your country, you have to find another place again. What I represent is never a specific place, any quiet place in the world can be called a place. ”

"What does Brother Ye mean that if there is a war, the whole country will be moved?"

"Why was Brother Shi so elegantly said about fleeing?"

Shi Shu and Ning Zeqing saw that he did not shy away from the difficulties of the country, and they didn't know whether to appreciate or pity for a while. This square inch of the country can only go with the flow in order to survive.

He and the crown prince have seen a lot of the faces of the kings in these months, asking for alliances, asking for money, making promises, and even borrowing soldiers and horses for conscription. The two had to circle one by one, with great effort.

And the country entertained them when it was inconvenient, but did not ask for anything in return, and was really independent of the rebellion of the hundred countries and the fire and water of the two countries.

In this way, the two were even more grateful for the grace of King Ye to stay at night, and Ning Zeqing was also afraid of disturbing this pure place, so he asked Ban Fei to order all the soldiers to be cautious in their words and deeds in the country, and not to disturb the daily life of the local people.

Because of the unique customs of the country, the soldiers went out for a while after taking a break from training, and because they were ordered, they could only pick some places with fewer people not to negotiate too much with the locals.

Qu Mingli made an appointment with Yeqi and others to go to the archery competition, so he separated from the others, and felt the darkness to an open place, there were only some ruins around, no one came here, and the field of vision was quite wide, but it was dim and could not see clearly.

"What can this black light shoot?" Qu Ming was puzzled.

"You can shoot anything, just point at it, like ......," Jezzy said, looking around, pointing to the corner of the roadside, "like this little frog." Although it is a little smaller, it is also used to compare eyesight, and for example, the wooden stakes and mounds over there, in short, whoever shoots first will win. ”

"The first person to see it must have a better chance of winning, which is not fair." Qu Mingli refused.

"Then I'll make the decision and not participate in the game. Whatever I point, you will shoot, and whoever hits first will be counted. That's all right. ”

Lao Bao said with a smile: "Daqi is not comparable, I accepted this first million unceremoniously." ”

"Don't get carried away," Yazzy slapped him, "Forget this master of the army here?" ”

Bao Million pointed at Qu Mingli and said unconvinced: "Your marksmanship is incomparable to my old bag, but I won't let you do this archery at all." ”

Ye Qi shook his head, laughing at the fact that he had not yet seen the true ability of Qu Mingli, Qu Mingli looked at him and smiled secretly.

Shooting arrows at night depends not only on accuracy, but also on eyesight and agility, and if you can't see clearly at night, or can't keep up with the speed of moving objects in the dark, you can't shoot them down. Although Qu Mingli's archery is accurate, shooting still life is naturally not a problem, but if it is an animal, in this dark environment, he does not have a 100% chance of winning.

The game begins.

"Willow leaves over there." Jezzy said, pointing to the willow tree on the side.

The still life was easy to aim, and four people shot out in unison, one shot at the tree, two shot at the willow branch, and one shot through the willow branch, and the wicker fell to the ground. It was the arrow that Qu Mingli shot.

"The rat by the wall."

The four of them continued to shoot arrows, and the first man was a little impetuous, and before he could take aim, he shot it, startling the mouse, and the mouse ran away.

The remaining three people shot again, one of them brushed the edge, and two of them shot, it was Bao Million and Qu Mingli.

Lao Bao smiled: "My archery skills are still excellent." ”

In the third game, Yeezzy looked around, pointed to a tree in the distance and said, "That bird." ”

Qu Mingli looked at it and couldn't see anything.

"Where are the birds?" Qu Mingli said.

"It's on that shelf," Jezzy pointed again, "right next to the trunk, there's a shadow over there." ”

The crowd looked at it carefully.

"I saw it," Lao Bao smirked, "Since I saw it first, don't blame me for taking the lead." As he spoke, he raised his hand to shoot an arrow, but he missed it.

Qu Mingli hadn't seen it yet, but looking in the direction where Lao Bao was shooting, it seemed that something did stop on the tree.

Qu Mingli took the arrow and shot it out with Lao Bao's arrow, and the black shadow fell from the tree.

"It must be from my old bag!" Lao Bao laughed and hurried to run over, while the rest of the people followed him.

After searching for a while, I finally found this thing in the grass under the tree, it was a pigeon, it was an arrow in the abdomen, there was no longer a struggle, it was a little stiff, but the body was still a little warm.

"It turned out to be a pigeon." Lao Bao turned back to them and said.

"There's something on this pigeon's paws." Jezzy said, pointing to the roll tied to the pigeon's claws.

The old bag saw that there was really one, opened the roll, took out a small note from it, and was about to open it to see, but Qu Mingli stopped the action in his hand.

Qu Mingli said solemnly: "This is not an ordinary pigeon, this is a military pigeon." ”
