Chapter 288: Gaiden
"Huh...... Today is about to face the prince of Chu Wang, why is he still practicing so hard? Old Xiangguo walked up to Guan Ze with a smile.
"Lord Hui Xiangguo, this is a habit of the lower officials for many years." Sekizawa replied respectfully.
"Well, yes, yes." The old minister curled his beard and praised. "I don't know what weapons Captain Guan usually uses?"
"Oh, the lower officer is a cavalryman, and he usually uses a mace." Sekizawa replied.
"Come to think of it, there should be a mace in this horseback riding competition." Old Xiangguo smiled and nodded.
The suburbs of Beijing, the imperial martial arts arena.
The semi-finals are divided into three matches, the first is a bow shot, the second is a battle immediately, and the third is a capture of the flag. It's not about who wins more, it's about who wins the flag last!
Shangguan Qian sat on the throne in the center, and today he specially arranged for Ma Ang of the Dingguo Company and Shangguan Hao Yun, the king of Chu, to sit on his left and right sides.
The surrounding officials couldn't stop shaking their heads and sighing how unfair their fate was, the emperor didn't know what to do, the horse must have been selected among the sons of these two, wasn't the opponent of the two just to pave the way for them, one was a little centurion who was not in the stream, and the other was a notorious disciple, hey...... People are more popular than people.
Not far away, on Xiangguo's private seat, the old Xiangguo sat alone at the table leisurely drinking tea, and the princess and Chengcheng stood side by side on the armrest of the stand looking at the empty martial arts arena.
At this time, the crowd watching the battle erupted in cheers, and saw two war horses, one white and one brown, running out quickly on both sides of the martial arts arena. On the white horse was Shangguan Yunyi, the prince of the king of Chu, who was wearing a golden armor and golden helmet, and on the brown horse was Guan Ze, who was wearing ordinary battle armor. The two of them galloped swiftly to the weapon rack, and each took a strong bow and arrow.
"Wow, it's all a hundred pound bow." Those in the crowd who knew how to do it let out exclamations.
One hundred and fifty paces away are six arrow targets, and the two of them must ride their horses and shoot down three arrow targets in turn before they can return to their respective weapon racks to get the weapons they are fighting on their horses, otherwise they can only fight empty-handed.
Shangguan Yunyi took the bow and arrow and rushed to the riding shooting point first, urging the horse to speed up, neatly drawing the round bow, and shooting three arrows in turn, the strength of the arrow actually flew out of the target more than ten steps away before smashing it on the ground. The crowd erupted in applause and admiration.
"The imperial nephew is really brave." Emperor Xia Ming praised.
"Huh...... The royal brother is overrated. Shangguan Hao Yun stroked his goatee and laughed.
On the banquet of the King of Liao, Li Mu looked at Shangguan Yunyi suspiciously, and then looked at the monk who was taking care of himself, "How do I think this Shangguan Yunyi seems to have eaten Fushou Pill?" ”
"Oh?" The monk opened his eyes and looked at the arena, "That's right, it looks like he's taken that pill." ”
"Took a pill of strength!?" Li Mu looked at the monk with wide eyes, "Isn't he afraid of sudden death if he uses his strength like this?" ”
"Hehe......" the monk sneered as he looked at the arena, "I guess someone wants him to not survive today." ”
On the field, Guan Ze was just about to select various types of maces on the weapon rack, and Shangguan Yunyi swept towards him with a mace of eighty catties. Guan Ze was in a hurry, "This is by no means something that ordinary people can do, this speed and this power." He didn't have time to choose, so he picked one up and used all his strength to block it upward.
"Bang dang!" With a loud bang, Guan Ze was knocked off the horse, he struggled a few times, but couldn't stand up, "Lose......" Guan Ze turned over and lay on the dusty ground looking at the expressionless prince of Chu who was riding on the horse, he looked at the weapon in his hand, it was a hundred-pound mace, but now it has been broken into a pile of broken wood.
At this time, Shangguan Yunyi felt that the slight colic in his heart had turned into a sharp pain due to the violent impact just now. But the royal flag is not far away, and the victory, the throne, seems to be a stone's throw away. He ignored his opponent lying on the ground, turned his horse's head and drove towards the king's banner not far away.
Several Royal Forest Sergeants hurriedly ran over, picked up Guan Ze, and helped him to the field.
"Huh...... This one seems to be won by Xiao'er. Shangguan Hao Yun looked at Emperor Xia Ming proudly and smiled.
"yes." Emperor Xia Ming replied silently, and after speaking, he glanced at Xiangguo's banquet angrily, and saw that the old Xiangguo was still drinking tea so leisurely. I couldn't help but be angry, "Hmph! "Yes.
Riding to Wang Qi, the sharp pain in his heart had made the sweat on Shangguan Yunyi's forehead like rain with a broken thread, his eyes were a little unopen, his mouth was a little sweet, his body was shaky, he subconsciously grabbed the flagpole, stabilized his body, certainly, he suddenly pulled up the flag and raised it above his head with a shout. "God, it's so blue. Why are you so dizzy. Shangguan Yunyi spat out a mouthful of blood, and his eyes widened and he fell from his horse to the sky......
The crowd that was still cheering suddenly fell silent, and Guan Ze, who was about to be helped to the sidelines, turned his head and silently looked at the fallen Shangguan Yunyi and shook his head regretfully.
"My son! What's going on! The king of Chu shouted in grief and ran down the stands and ran to the center of the martial arts arena regardless of etiquette.
"Brother Huang, ......," the princess sighed softly and returned to the table and sat down.
The prince of Chu died, and when he escorted the body of the prince to the scene, the king of Chu cried bitterly and shouted loudly: "The thief harmed me!" The thief hurt me! Pity my lone seedling! ”
This sudden change was delayed for almost an hour, and after the gong sounded in the second game, Cheng Cheng nervously walked to the side of the stands, biting his lower lip and pursing his lips to look at the direction where Qi Feng appeared.
The black horse, Qi Feng, who was dressed in black and black armor, appeared, he was not like Sima Qiangren, who was riding a green onion horse and a silver armor, who immediately drove towards the weapon rack as soon as he entered the field, but rode leisurely to the side of the stands and looked at her with a gentle smile.
"Why don't you hurry up and get your weapons." Cheng Cheng screamed angrily.
"Huh...... Come to think of it, my weapons have already been tampered with, so I don't want to take them. Qi Feng said to Cheng Cheng with a smile.
"That'...... So what to do......" Cheng said.
"Bless me." Qi Feng said silently.
"You...... You're going to win. Cheng Cheng blushed and whispered.
"Look, it's the young lady of the Lin family." People in the near stands whispered.
"No wonder, this Dengzi chased from Liaodong to Jingshi."
"Haha...... Wait for me, let me give you this victory! Qi Feng laughed and turned his horse's head back and drove towards the shooting point.
"Give me ......," Cheng Cheng said with a blushing face and an intoxicated face, "Hey! Lecher! You haven't taken your bow and arrows yet! Cheng Cheng stomped his feet and shouted.
Looking at the pair of lovers, Sima Qiangren sneered and pulled out the strong bow, there were six arrows on the bow, he let go of the hand holding the bowstring, and the six arrows shot at the six arrow targets...... All six targets are dropped at the same time. There was a burst of cheers from the spectator stage.
