Chapter 14: Edutainment

The wind and the sun are beautiful, but the palace is very lively in the early morning.

In the shooting range, two guards stood opposite each other, about thirty meters apart, each holding a bow and arrow in their hands, and the direction of the bow and arrow was the other party. This is a war of pure strength, archery, and the target of that archery is people. A circle is also drawn under their feet, and if either side steps out of the circle by dodging arrows, it loses, and the losing side is not killed or injured as a result of the competition.

Yan Yue, who was sitting high on the viewing platform, took a deep breath, and I have to say that this was the most intense competition that Yan Yue had ever watched in her life. It's not that Yan Yue hasn't killed anyone, but after all, it's a matter of life and death, either you die or I die, and this kind of competition at the cost of your life is really the first time for Yan Yue. Yan Yue really wants to say forget it, it's better not to watch such a game.

But when Yan Yue's gaze looked at the lean old woman standing beside her, she automatically swallowed back the words that rushed to her mouth. The thin but energetic old woman looked back at Yan Yue, the queen mother had nothing to say, but the old woman asked in time: "Niangniang, can you start watching the game?" ”

It's just that the tone is not so much a request for instructions as an informative. Yan Yue felt depressed and abnormal again. After having a big quarrel with Na Murong Yan yesterday and returning to the palace, Yan Yue returned to Tianfu Palace with a burst of littering. I want to leave this palace, but I feel that I really want to say goodbye forever, which is a little too impulsive. But if he really endured it like this, Ren Na Murong Yan said the word "roll", and Yan Yue herself didn't say anything, Yan Yue felt a little too cowardly, but how to do it, Yan Yue couldn't think of a clue, so she could only steam her anger at those teacups, stools, pillows, and so on.

After dinner, Master Hua suddenly came to visit and presented Mama Rong to Yan Yue's side now. It is said that this Mama Rong is the maid who waited in the emperor's palace when Murong Yan's grandfather was the emperor, and has been out of the palace for decades. At the beginning, Yan Yue was quite unbearable in her heart, looking at this grandmother, she was also in her fifties, and she was still serving in the palace at this time, so she felt a little disrespectful to the old man.

But Master Hua used a sentence to let Yan Yue keep this grandmother, but it was just a simple sentence, but Yan Yue was speechless. Master Hua said: "This Mama Rong is here to teach the queen how to be a good queen mother. So Yan Yue was messy, and almost trembled and replied to Master Hua: "Thank you!" Then Master Hua flew away, but left this Mama Rong behind.

So Yan Yue waited all night last night, waiting for this Rong Mama to teach herself, because this Mama's surname is the same as the Mama of Interest in a TV series in the 21st century, Yan Yue even doubted that this Mama would start teaching herself the rules and talking about some big truths at night. Fortunately, this grandmother was very quiet, and only took the palace maids to rest after serving Yan Yue and rested on her own.

It's just that early this morning, Mama Rong suddenly made this suggestion: "Have you ever seen the shooting competition in this palace?" ”

Yan Yue was stunned, because Yan Yue had only heard of archery, and had never heard of archery, and she suspected that this Rong Mama was not here to teach her, so why did she still think of a way to play with her. But Yan Yue happened to be fine, of course, she listened to it.

And now that the game has begun, Yan Yue's attention is all attracted by the game in that game.

The first of the two contestants is to choose who shoots the arrow first, and it can be said that this kind of competition is basically a life-saving game. Generally speaking, whoever shoots the arrow first will have the first opportunity, because as long as the opponent is killed, the life of the first one will not be in danger. Yan Yue called the shooter standing in the east No. 1 in her heart, and the shooter standing in the west called No. 2, I have to say that the No. 1 hand was lucky to pick the colored ball that shot first.

"I haven't watched a game like this for many years, so I have to pay attention." A smile appeared on Mama Rong's face, and I have to say that even if Mama Rong didn't remind Yan Yue at this time, Yan Yue would not leave out any details in the field. On the contrary, it was Mama Rong's reminder and the somewhat dazzling smile on her face that made Yan Yue secretly despise her in her heart.

Under the gaze of everyone, No. 1 had already shot the first arrow, and it has to be said that the sharpshooter was indeed worthy of his name, and everyone only heard the whistle-like sound of the arrow "whooshing" into their ears, and the arrow had quickly flown towards the face of the No. 2 shooter. This arrow went straight to the heart, and if it hit, No. 1 would definitely die.

At this time, any sound will affect the mood of the contestant, and Yan Yue knows that maybe her words will affect the outcome of the game. So looking at the arrow, Yan Yue almost wanted to shout "dodge", but she could only stare at the scene silently with wide eyes. When he saw that the arrow was only a few centimeters away from the door of the second shooter, he saw the second shooter quickly turn his head, and the arrow flew past his cheek, breaking only a few strands of hair, and falling under the drive of the wind.

Yan Yue couldn't help but let out a long breath, only to realize that it was just such a blink of an eye, and her palms were full of sweat droplets. Even before Yan Yueqi could breathe, the second arrow of the No. 1 had already been issued, but this arrow shot straight into the chest of the No. 2. Yan Yue couldn't help but wonder how to hide from No. 2 this time, is it a light skill to fly? It's just that if you don't fly, you must know that if you get up late in this leap, the arrow will also hit the leg or other parts, and then you will still be injured.

I have to say that the people watching the play are sometimes more nervous than the people in the play. Just when Yan Yue was still wondering if this No. 2 didn't know how to do light work, she saw that No. 2 bent back suddenly, her hands were propped up on the ground like that, and her body was actually bent into an arch shape, this time Yan Yue couldn't help but make a sound. Dizzy, is this still a human life? It's admirable that a man, an adult man, has such flexibility. And at the moment when the number two bent over, the second arrow flew less than an inch above his waist.

And just when Yan Yue breathed a sigh of relief, the third arrow of No. 1 came again, and the target was still No. 2's waist. It's only this time that No. 2 got up and didn't stand firm, and it was impossible to lower down again. Of course, the target of No. 1 has always been No. 1's waist, and the first two arrows are just striking east and west, diverting No. 2's attention. And the second shooter, who had just dodged the second arrow, didn't even have time to think a little, and watched the third arrow fly towards him......

Everyone's eyes widened, and they felt that the string in their hearts was tight, and it seemed that it would break in the next second. Yan Yue just wanted to shout "It's over", it seems that this time No. 2 is really fierce.

But at this time, everyone saw the arrow in the hand of No. 2 shoot quickly, and in everyone's surprise, the arrow was not shot at the No. 1 archer, but at the third arrow that flew in, and in the incredible eyes of everyone, the third arrow of No. 1 and the first arrow of No. 2 collided and landed. Before everyone could react, No. 2's second arrow was shot again, and the direction of the shot was No. 1's chest. And then a third arrow was fired......

Archer No. 1 was stupid, one didn't expect No. 2's first arrow to hit his third arrow, and No. 2's second arrow followed, without the slightest pause, and he didn't have any room for transfer at all. The third arrow of the second was obviously faster, but it caught up with the second arrow in an instant, and in the stupidity of the first one, the third arrow touched the second arrow, and the second arrow was deflected, so the arrow went straight into the arm of the first one, and the third arrow passed by the arm of the first one, only slightly scratching the clothes, and not even the skin was hurt.

Everyone was stunned, they didn't expect that No. 2 actually shot three arrows in a row, the first arrow was to save his life, and the second arrow could have killed No. 1, but he used the third arrow to save No. 1's life, only injuring him in one arm. At this point, the competition is over, and I have to admit that this is a feast for the eyes and even the senses, which feels more exciting than watching a thrilling film.

Yan Yue forgot to applaud and forget the reward, she only stared stupidly at the victorious shooter kneeling in front of her, and then stupidly listened to Na Rong Mama: "Niangniang, this slave's name is Yang Zuwen, from today on, he will be Niangniang's personal guard." ”

"This, this...... Isn't it a little too wronged for this hero! Yan Yue said in a daze, Yan Yue also really thought so, such a capable man, he should make meritorious contributions, and he should also do those things that are said in the martial arts books to eliminate violence and peace, how can he be wronged to be a guard by his side, this is really a bit overkill.

"Niangniang is the mother of a country, Niangniang's safety is related to the foundation of the country, it is the honor of any slave to be able to protect Niangniang's safety, how can Niangniang say such unworthy words. I know that Niangniang is kind and humble, I don't know that I think Niangniang is not satisfied with this minion......" As soon as Yan Yue's voice fell, Rong Mama had already spoken lightly, although her voice was not loud and her tone was not stern, but Yan Yue was speechless.

"Yu Niangniang, the slave Yang Zuwen was born with some disabled legs, and he can't practice kung fu immediately, and his fists and feet can't be handy, so he can only shoot this skill, if the mother can't see it, the slave will go back to practice for a few years, and then come to protect the mother......" That Yang Zuwen suddenly said weakly. Only then did Yan Yue notice that this sharpshooter actually looked very Sven, his voice trembled a little when he spoke, and his hands were also trembling. Unexpectedly, the sinister scene just now didn't make him timid, but at this time, he was timid in front of Yan Yue. What Yan Yue didn't expect was that this person actually learned to have a disability on his leg, which was too pitiful.

"If the mother is not satisfied, the slave will let him go back." Mama Rong continued.

"No, leave him alone." Yan Yue almost hurriedly said, this person does have the ability, and staying by his side may really be able to play a role. And Yan Yue also has an idea, when he has time, he can help him see what is wrong with his leg, it is a pity that such a capable person is actually disabled.

It's just that Yan Yue didn't notice the smile on Mama Rong's face standing on the side, and it wasn't until she returned to Tianfu Palace that Yan Yue knew where this Mama Rong let herself watch the game, and her feelings were to teach herself through the game.

"Niangniang, do you know what Yang Zuwen relied on to win the other party?" Mama Rong asked.

"Strength." Yan Yue replied almost without thinking.

"Then what does Yang Zuwen rely on to stay by his mother's side?" Mama Rong asked again.

This time Yan Yue hesitated, Yang Zuwen was able to stay by his side by no means by strength, because Yan Yue, such a capable person, really didn't want to stay, after all, Yan Yue was afraid of delaying the future of others. So what does he rely on? He said he was disabled, he said he couldn't do kung fu, he said...... Yan Yue couldn't answer, could Yang Zuwen stay here by his own sympathy?

"It's a sign of weakness!" Mama Rong said without hesitation.

Before Yan Yue could safely understand, Mama Rong continued: "Taking the initiative to show weakness is a strategy. Many people like to show the demeanor of a strong person, but they often hit their heads and break the blood, and those who will show weakness appropriately are more acceptable. And the women of this harem sometimes don't need to be tough, and they don't need to prove anything with their strength, so they have to learn to show weakness in a timely manner, so that they will become the final winner. ”

Yan Yue stared at Mama Rong like that, her head was clear for a while, and she was confused for a while. Although I was a little disdainful, I had to admit that what Mama Rong said was too reasonable!
