Chapter 12: Encounters
In the third bet, the speed of the arrow is compared, and whoever is faster is the winner.
The little men waiting on the sidelines worked together to bring a wooden shelf of great length and width with four water bladders made of sheepskin.
Wang Yingpu, Hu Pheasant, Lu Zhen, and Ning Chang each held an arrow and drew their bows at the same time, and they could only hear the sound of the wind for a while. Before everyone came back to their senses, they suddenly heard a few "pops", and the sheepskin water bladder burst open, bursting out a few transparent water splashes. This time, there was almost no difference in the speed of the arrows of the four men, so they all scored one point.
There is only one last game left, if this situation continues, then wouldn't Ning Chang have to win? Lu Tang pinched the handkerchief and was a little sullen.
————————————————————
On the other side, Zhang Yu had nothing to do, and walked alone to the library at the back of the academy.
The library of Taiping Academy is extremely famous, and there are countless ancient books treasured during this period.
I saw that the upper floor of this library was connected to one room, and the downstairs was divided into six rooms, so I knew that it was taken from the meaning of "the sky is born of water, and the earth is six inheritances".
See again that this pavilion is a heavy eaves hard mountain type, the front and back corridors, the top is covered with black glazed tiles and green trimming, and the eaves pillars of the front and rear corridors are decorated with green ground battles. The exterior eaves are also painted in cool shades of blue, green, and white. The theme of its color painting is not the common dragon and flying phoenix, but the pattern of "white horse offering books" and "Han ink scroll" that is in harmony with the function of the library, and I can't help but secretly admire the grandeur and exquisiteness of this Taiping Academy.
Zhang Yu turned a corner, and walked to the back of the library pavilion, only to see that there is a copy of the hand hall corridor connected to Yangxi Zhai, after the fast is nine rooms, among which there are peony garden, Wutong courtyard and so on. I only feel that the level of the whole courtyard is clear, the courtyards are connected but not chaotic, and the flowers and trees are dotted in between, and the secret road is that this Taiping Academy is indeed the ideal "fairy world" for reading and painting. It is very pleasant to enjoy the scenery while walking.
"The moonlight is thin, who pounds the winter clothes. Looking at the end of the world, I want to think of my hometown. Before the snow fell overnight, the north wind was ...... fiercely", and Zhang Yu softly hummed the song that the women of the frontier sang when they missed their husbands who went out to fight.
She looked at the beautiful scenery around her and couldn't help but think far away - her father said that it was true, this capital was really prosperous, and it was different from a desolate place like southern Yunnan. There are carefree beautiful women dressed in fine clothes; There is a jewelry pavilion full of rare treasures; There is a reading academy with the sound of books at the feet of the Son of Heaven; There is also the comfort and glory that the soldiers of southern Yunnan could not imagine in their lives.
"The blood-stained yellow sand soul returns, the moonlight is slanting, tonight is like a sunset......" Zhang Yu hummed softly as he reached out and touched the grass and trees here.
Daddy, my daughter is here to see it for you. Look at the people who are desperately guarding for you, and see this picturesque river and mountain for you.
She was so immersed in her memories that she didn't notice that someone was sitting in the pavilion not far away. It wasn't until a faint flute sound came that I suddenly realized it.
"I didn't know there was anyone here, bothering you." Zhang Yu was slightly apologetic.
The man in front of him didn't hear the words and put down the jade flute in his hand, and the cold sound of the flute stopped after the song ended.
"It doesn't matter."
The white-clothed boy put down the jade flute in his hand and raised his eyes slightly.
The moment Zhang Yu looked at him, he only felt that thousands of fireworks exploded in the night sky in front of him. Looking at it again, the man's eyebrows were clear, and the turbid world seemed to have been brushed away by that face, and he only felt that the moon was bright and the wind was clear.
I was speechless for a while, and I suddenly felt panicked.
The man in white seemed to know that Zhang Yu was uncomfortable, so he got up and brushed his sleeves, and his voice was cold: "The girl continues to play, so I won't bother when I am here." ”
With that, he took the jade flute and prepared to turn around and leave.
Zhang Yu froze his mind, secretly spit on his uncompetitive appearance just now, and laughed loudly: "Dare to ask Gongzi's surname Gao?" ”
The man turned, his eyes burning.
"Who is the girl?"
"Zhang Yu."
"Qin Zhan."
Zhang Yu raised his eyes and looked, although the white-clothed man had a cold face, there was a faint smile in his deep pool-like eyes, and he couldn't help but smile.
…………
On the edge of the arrow field, Lu Tang only felt his heart pounding. At this time, compared to Jingyi in the fourth field, Wang Yingpu, Hu Pheasant, Lu Zhen, and Ning Chang had all shot three arrows.
This well refers to the four arrows in a row, all of which hit the target. Generally speaking, as long as all four arrows hit the heart, it is considered a win, but the situation on the field at this time is very strange.
Due to the extremely small range of hearts on the target, it is very difficult for all four arrows to have a red heart. To win this game, the archer needs to shoot all four arrows in unison in this small circle. If you shake your hands for a single point, you will miss out on victory.
But now the target on the field is different from the past.
Wang Yingpu's target doesn't need to be said again, there is only one arrow in the red heart, and the other two are not in the red heart, although they are close.
Hu Pheasant's target has three mid-center hearts with dense feathered arrows, but it is obvious that he can no longer squeeze out the fourth.
On the other side, Lu Zhen's target also had three arrows, and at this time, he frowned, pulled his bow and aimed at the target, and shot the fourth.
However, Ning Chang's target was like a firework blooming, and there was only a trembling arrow on the target, and dozens of wooden strips bloomed in all directions under the arrow. At the same time that Lu Zhen shot the fourth arrow, he also let go and shot it. Seeing that the arrow was shooting quickly and straight at the only remaining arrow on the target, everyone only heard the crisp and loud sound of the wooden strip exploding, and saw that the last arrow pierced through the previous one like the first two, and was inserted squarely into the red heart.
The dust has settled.
The little guys hurriedly ran to the target to check, and many students couldn't bear to be curious, and everyone rushed over to check.
"Lu Zhen's arrow......" A voice came from the crowd.
Lu Tang hurriedly pricked up his ears and listened.
"Didn't hit!"
Didn't hit, didn't hit, didn't hit. My brother lost, lost, lost!
Lu Tang only felt a boom in his ears, and bursts of grievances came to his heart like a tide.
As the correct Lu Er, he didn't know what to say at this time, this Ning Chang was really not the same as ordinary people. With a solemn face, he solemnly saluted him.
The other students are also leaders from all over the world, all of them have good bones, and when they saw Lu Heng giving a salute, a large number of crows and crows followed him to Chong Ning Chang.
"Ning Gongzi is both civil and military, and we are ashamed of ourselves."
"Brother Ning is really our role model."
All the students were convinced, and they all complimented Ning Chang.
"Don't dare, don't dare." Na Ning often smiled in return, and looked even more suave.
"Brother."
Lu Erzheng looked at Ning Chang and the others with a smile, and suddenly felt that his sleeves were gently pulled a few times, and then he only heard a thin, aggrieved female voice coming from the lower right.
He looked down and saw his sister delicately clutching her clothes, looking up at him with a small face, her eyes were full of tears.
"Tang Tang?" Lu Er's heart tightened and asked.
"Sixth brother lost." Lu Tang's mouth was flattened, his eyes were red, and tears almost fell.
Lu Er breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and chuckled and comforted: "Tang Tang doesn't have to be sad, Ning Gongzi has the talent of Yiqun, and the sixth brother is not unjustly lost." And he is young, and he will need to practice more diligently in the future. ”
"Hmm."
Lu Tang was even more aggrieved, but he couldn't tell his brother what happened that day, and his heart was as depressed as if he had blocked cotton.
Over there, Ning Chang's heart moved for some reason, and he looked over.
I saw that the little girl looked petite, with two small bags tied with brocade on her head, and a goose yellow shirt and green skirt. With a pouting mouth and tears in her big eyes, she looks like a poor and aggrieved doll.
He saw it in his eyes and felt that this little girl was very funny.
Seeing her snuggling up to Lu Heng and calling her brother, she knew that she was the little sister of the Lu family, and she couldn't help but think of the little girl she met at Lu Yushi's house not long ago who was stunned and hit her head on her and cried so hard that she couldn't see her face clearly, and she couldn't help laughing for a while. He raised his hand and coughed, and looked away to cover up.
