Chapter 712: Collusion
Everyone kept staring, but the white feather arrow that hit the scissor target first was as fast as a meteor, and they didn't even see who shot it.
But Wang Xiuhan, who shot it, knew very well that he had shot it.
Although he was born in a scholarly family, there are also high-ranking officials in the Ministry of Etiquette, and the Queen Mother takes care of her, the Wang family has always been a famous relative in Xichu, and the glory is infinite. However, Wang Xiuhan studied hard since he was a child, did not relax himself at all, and was known as the genius of the clan Chinese martial arts Shuangquan.
Archery, for him who has been practicing for ten years, is just a small skill of carving insects.
A flash of happiness flashed in his eyes, Wang Xiuhan restrained himself and slowly withdrew his hand, looking like a victor.
At the same time, there was a click at the target clipping in front of him, and another white-feathered arrow fell.
Everyone saw it clearly, and it was said that they had hit the bull's-eye, and even the target was shot, and it fell off after a dip, obviously because of the lack of strength, and the arrow was exhausted when it flew here.
Now there was silence, and then everyone broke out into a burst of laughter, like thunder: "Hahahaha......"
Wen Chang's face was dripping with blood, red like a monkey's ass, and he wished there was a hole in front of him for him to get into. Standing on the stage, he was at a loss: "This ...... This...... Xiaosheng, Xiaosheng......"
Idiot! With this kind of ability, dare to come to the semi-finals?
Wang Xiuhan smiled faintly, but there was a burst of contempt in his heart. Although he has never regarded this person as an opponent, he didn't expect it to be like this, and he didn't even have enough strength in archery. actually passed the preliminary round with him? It's just that it lowered his level!
"Brother Wen, you have to go back and practice hard......" Wang Xiuhan looked encouraged.
"Alas......"
Hanging his head, he didn't even have the courage to speak, Wen Yuanyuan's hand holding the longbow loosened and tightened, and his face was full of shame.
Just when Wang Xiuhan was proud, a dramatic scene appeared again!
There was a sudden uproar in the crowd, like a wave of sound, almost scaring him. Suddenly remembering something, Wang Xiuhan turned his head to look, and saw Huang Guanxiu next to him as if he had just made a move, staring triumphantly ahead, with a smile on his face.
With a beating in his heart, Wang Xiuhan looked at the scissor target, and his pupils suddenly shrank!
There's only one arrow on the clipper!
Hit the target with a heart!
But it did drop two arrows!!
"Huang Xiucai shot it! Oh my God, he was so good at archery that he shot off the prince's arrow! Someone exclaimed, and it clearly entered Wang Xiuhan's ears, like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and he was scorched on the outside and tender on the inside, and he was stunned on the spot.
His arrows...... was actually shot by Huang Xiucai's later arrow and shot the bull's-eye!?
Does his grade count?
The whole person trembled, Wang Xiuhan knew the rules of today's game, each person only had one chance, and he could only shoot one arrow! This is not only a test of mental stability, but also a test of the basic skills of daily life, and even the luck of each candidate.
Three arrows were fired, and the audience was a sensation and endured.
After a while, a guard came on the field to remove the pruning that hit the bull's-eye and handed it to Wen Changde, who was judged. The latter looked at the number engraved on the prune, and announced loudly: "No. 3, Huang Guan passes!" ”
As soon as the words fell, another wolf-like congratulatory cheer sounded, and countless people who bet on Huang Xiucai blushed with excitement and cheered loudly. And Xiao Tianci on the field looked like he took it for granted, nodding at everyone below, and he deserved it.
"Impossible...... It couldn't be ......."
It's like falling from the clouds to the bottom, how can Wang Xiuhan accept this fact?
Obviously, he also shot, why didn't he pass? Should his arrow have been shot by someone else? But his first shot was seen by everyone, so how could he not pass it?
"No, I'm not convinced!"
Wang Xiuhan clenched his fists, the blood vessels in his neck swelled, and he roared: "I don't accept it!" I was the first to shoot, so why didn't the adults pass me? My arrow was dropped by someone who influenced it, so why did he let him pass alone? I'm not convinced! ”
"Who is not satisfied with the results of the competition!" Wen Changde's face immediately sank.
didn't dare to look at the disappointment of the beautiful shadow on the tall building at all, Wang Xiuhan stared at Wen Changde, finally did not forget the etiquette, and arched his hand: "Lord Wen, I have just shot the scissor target, everyone knows, why did you pass the assessment even if you didn't count below?" ”
With a cold snort, Wen Changde glanced at the empty bull's-eye, and said lightly: "Has Wang Gongzi forgotten the rules?" ”
"The rules say that if you hit the bull's-eye, you will pass, and I was obviously the first to shoot, but I was later ...... by Huang Xiucai was inadvertently touched by him, but he is him, I am me, he touched my arrow, it doesn't mean that I didn't shoot, how can adults ......"
"Someone!"
Wen Changde's expression was ugly, and he said loudly: "Bring the scissors over and give Wang Gongzi a good look!" ”
The two guards immediately responded, stepped forward and lifted the heavy scissors over with great effort, and placed them in front of them: "My lord." ”
Without Wen Changde to speak, Xiao Tianci on the side had already walked over, stared at the target for a while, and then laughed: "Hahahaha, it was obviously the last arrow shot by this son, but some people have to say that they also shot, there is such a scoundrel in broad daylight, it is simply the wind of the world that the hearts of the people are not ancient!" ”
Turning his head, Xiao Tianci stared at Wang Xiuhan: "Obviously, there is only one arrow hole on the bull's-eye, Wang Gongzi actually wants to say that he also shot, why are you so shameless?" ”
Almost seven points of anger were smoking, Wang Xiuhan was just about to scold, but when he looked at it, he was shocked!
There is really only one arrow hole in the bull's-eye!
The pruning that was taken from the target just now has been proved to be shot by No. 3 Huang Xiucai, but Wang Xiuhan obviously shot it before, and everyone saw it clearly, but it fell later, but why is there no second arrow hole?
It can only be said - they shot in the same position!
The two arrows, in different order, but landed in the same place in the bull's-eye, it stands to reason that both arrows should stay in the bull's-eye at the same time. But the arrow shot later will shoot the arrow that was shot first, squeezing out the bull's-eye, so it shows that the arrow shot by Huang Xiucai after is not only accurate in position, but also has great power, and it also carries the most difficult to grasp 'shock' in archery.
The faster the speed, the greater the shock force on the arrow, Wang Xiuhan's years of experience in archery naturally knows, and he has never encountered this situation. He knew the situation best, but the arrow was still easily shaken off by Huang Xiucai, he couldn't believe that a poor sour talent could actually practice the essence of archery's 'shock power', which ruined his good thing!
The whole person was stunned, and Wang Xiuhan remained motionless in place, cold all over.
He, willing to bow down!
"Hmph, the skills are not as good as people and they are talking nonsense, it's just ......" The word shame was not spoken, and Wang Xiuhan was related to the Queen Mother after all, Wen Changde did not say anything ugly. He waved his hand to lift the clipper back into place and announced that the competition would continue.
When Xiao Tianci left the game, he received another wave of applause and cheers, and as for Wang Xiuhan, like a defeated rooster, he walked down with his head down.
"If you don't have the ability, don't go up and be embarrassed." Suddenly, there was a sarcastic and smug voice beside him, an indescribable disobedience, as soon as Wang Xiuhan raised his head, he saw Xiao Tianci staring at him with a smile, and said: "If you want to compete with this son, you are still far behind." Brother Wang, it's okay if you lose, go back and practice for two more years. ”
Before he could speak, Xiao Tianci had already laughed and left.
Standing in place, Wang Xiuhan's handsome and fair face was red and white, as if he had been slapped hard, and his face was lost. Some people who were good friends with him comforted him and made him want to open up, but he couldn't hear the sarcasm in his ears.
"Huang Xiucai, okay...... You wait......" Gritting his teeth and staring at Xiao Tianci's distant back, Wang Xiuhan gritted his teeth, and a monstrous killing intent surged in his heart.
Originally, he wanted to start lightly and teach Huang Xiucai a lesson. Although it was the princess's intention, he didn't want to die after all. Can ...... now This sour talent not only embarrassed him in public, but also made him disqualified from the competition, which is simply unbearable! Regardless of whether this person is really Huang Xiucai, or someone is impostoring, he doesn't want to let this person go anymore!
His eyes were cold, Wang Xiuhan was silent for a long time, and finally came out of the arena.
Summoning two house slaves, he whispered a few words, and the house slaves nodded and went quickly.
In the subsequent competition, Nangong Wan'er didn't look at it at all, and got up and left directly. As soon as she saw Xiao Tianci's arrogant and proud appearance, she hated it so much that she wanted to kill. Thinking of what her imperial brother told her, take a good look at this third prince of Dongwan, if it is not too bad, the final candidate will be him, Nangong Wan'er is not only not happy, but more and more disgusted with Xiao Tianci.
From the beginning to the end, she was disgusted with this solicitation, and she reluctantly participated because she did not dare to disobey the holy decree. I wanted to find all kinds of excuses to say that there was no suitable one, so it was over, but I didn't expect Nangong Qing to really want her to marry, and he couldn't wait for her to marry as far away as possible.
Even if she had to get married, she wouldn't let go of Xiao Tianci, a bastard!
Sitting in the princess's mansion, Nangong Wan'er waited quietly.
The windows in the room were bright and clean, and the sandalwood was curling, but her face was expressionless, like a sculpture. The face was indissolvably deep, the ten fingers were clenched one by one, and the nails were deeply sunk into the flesh, but I didn't feel the slightest pain.
There was a sound of hurried footsteps, and Mei'er walked in, and was about to say something, but first said: "Go down, I will serve Her Royal Highness the princess here." ”
Leaning over, the two maids standing behind Nangong Wan'er retreated.
When there were no outsiders, Mei'er stepped forward and whispered in front of Nangong Wan'er: "Princess, the King of Chu and Princess Chu didn't come to participate today, they went to the Sifang Pavilion." The slave maid sent someone to inquire, and the royal treasures escorted from Beijun had just been transported to the Sifang Pavilion this morning, and the king and princess of Chu should have gone to inspect them. ”
As soon as her eyes moved, Nangong Wan'er's eyes flashed with brilliance, and she said movingly: "It's really here?" Hehehe......"
"Congratulations to the princess, everything went according to the princess's plan, now just wait, they won't be able to hide it for long."
Nangong Wan'er finally laughed: "Don't worry about it, just respond to all changes without change, let them check it slowly, this palace doesn't believe they can find out!" By the way, doesn't the county guard have anything to bring to this princess? ”
"Yes!"
Mei'er carefully took out a thick envelope from her body and handed it to Nangong Wan'er: "Princess, all the things that Guan Junshou gave you are here." ”
After taking it apart and taking a look, Nangong Wan'er was very satisfied, and laughed darkly: "Go, Mei'er, buy 100,000 taels of silver for the palace, and bet on that stinky man to lose!" ”
