The morning ceremony passed quickly, this autumn, the queen mother is old and does not like to move, and because the emperor's eldest son is not in good health, the imperial concubine Xie Wanru is in the palace to take care of the emperor's eldest son, Yun Tianfeng took the concubine, the concubine, the concubine and several other harem concubines to the royal enclosure.

Lunch was eaten in their own tents, and in the afternoon, a eunuch came to deliver a decree that the emperor planned to shoot arrows with the ladies and sons of the family at the shooting range at the right time, and that those who won the first prize would be rewarded.

Hearing the news, Nanling Mo smiled at the eldest princess Rong Zhen: "Chao Ying will be happy now." I heard that she was bored playing polo in the morning, and she played two games indiscriminately, and she was yelling that she was bored, but she was determined to win archery in the afternoon. ”

"That's natural, I'm sure I'll win the championship in the afternoon." Lin Chaoying came over at this time and said with a smile, "But it's a pity that Sister Jingsa isn't here, otherwise no one will compete with me." Lin Chaoying disdainfully gestured to the group of gorgeously dressed ladies in the stands: "I came to the paddock and dressed up so gorgeously, and I don't know what I'm pretending." ”

"Chaoying, you ......" Nanling Mo heard that Lin Chaoying's words seemed to be angry, but she probably understood that Lin Chaoying was dissatisfied with the Holy Lord's will to transfer her to the north, not to the western army that she was familiar with. She has always wanted to be with Jing Sa, but she is afraid that it will be difficult to realize what she wants now.

Nan Lingmo hurriedly changed the topic and said, "Let's go, let's shoot arrows." Maybe I'll win you! ”

"Yes, how did I forget, Asahin, your archery skills are also very good." Lin Chaoying laughed, "Then we have to compare well this time, you can't deliberately let me." ”

After changing their clothes, they happily walked to the shooting range, and as soon as they approached the shooting range, they already heard bursts of applause. When I looked closely, sure enough, the archery competition had begun. The competition of the ladies of the family is not as strict as the martial arts test, and even the target is only placed at a maximum of about ten steps. "Good, good!" Before arriving at the shooting range, I heard many people cheering around the shooting range.

Dayan Kingdom immediately won the world, Yong/Kangdi before the period (the current emperor's great-grandfather) aristocratic women will practice martial arts and archery, until the first emperor Kaiwen Emperor period slowly began to emphasize literature and light martial arts, preferring soft wind, together with the royal family, many ladies of aristocratic families in addition to playing polo, almost no longer practice martial arts, archery is a symbolic pose, even if the women's academy opens this course, few people practice. Until now, the upbringing of the aristocratic families of the past is still used, and there are only a handful of aristocratic families who retain the practice of martial arts, and archery is almost reduced to the same as throwing pots for women, and is mostly used for fun.

"Which lady is that? How does it look a little familiar. Nanling Mo turned her head sideways and secretly asked the eldest princess Rong Zhen.

"It seems to be the youngest daughter of the Lin'an Hou family, and her maiden name seems to be Huang Liying." The eldest princess Rong Zhen said in a low voice, "Her archery skills are very good, and she was praised by her father when he was there before. Rong Zhen lowered his voice again and said, "She is the most difficult to deal with my Fourth Emperor Sister and the Xue Huan County Lord of the Imperial Uncle's family. ”

"Uh-huh???" Nanling Mo was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and couldn't help tilting her head to look at the eldest princess Rong Zhen, and said in her heart, "The royal children are really early, and Rong Zhen is only fourteen years old, and he knows how to read people's faces and knows how to know cold and warm." ’

"Good !!" Another burst of applause came, and everyone looked at it, and it turned out that it was the county lord of Xue Huan who also hit the bull's-eye. "Miss Huang, how is it, do you want to have another competition?" After the guards counted the number of arrows in the bull's-eye shot by the ten arrows, the county lord of Xue Huan obviously won, so she looked at Huang Liying provocatively and said, "This year is the fourth year, and the county lord really admires Miss Huang's courage in repeated defeats!" It's just self-defeating. ”

"You !!!" Huang Liying's face was red, and the circles under her eyes were also red.

"Lord Xue Huan, I don't know if the minister can try it with you." The most unseemly thing for Lin Chaoying is to bully others, seeing Huang Liying like this, he stepped forward and said loudly, and then saluted again, "Please also ask the county lord to teach." ”

"Yo, who is the lord of this county, it turns out that the imperial brother has just been sealed from the sixth rank of the forest captain!" The county lord of Xue Huan smiled contemptuously, "It's better than that, if you lose, I'll let the imperial brother beat you, the captain!" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar. Although the county lord of Xue Huan is the daughter of Prince Xian, in the end, he is just a county lord from Sanpin who has no title, how can it be said that if he is exempted from other people's official positions, he will be exempted from other people's official positions, doesn't this imply that the emperor does not know people clearly?

"What's the fuss?!" The eldest princess Ronghui heard the voice and walked over, her eyes looked at everyone like knives, and everyone lowered their heads and did not dare to speak.

"See the eldest princess." Except for the eldest princess Rong Zhen, everyone else knelt down instantly. "Xue Huan, what you said just now is out of line, are you implying that the imperial brother doesn't know people clearly?"

"Xue Huan doesn't dare, Xue Huan is talking nonsense for a while, and I ask the eldest princess to forgive me." Only then did the county lord Xue Huan react to what he had just said, and he was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.

"Go back and think about it behind closed doors! The palace will naturally tell the imperial aunt to let you copy the scriptures and calm down. Princess Ronghui said majestically.

"Yes, the courtiers will go back and think about it behind closed doors." The main body of Xue Huan County trembled and was helped aside and didn't dare to speak again.

"Brother Huang, why don't you let your sister compete with Lin Duwei?" The eldest princess Ronghui suddenly saw Yun Tianfeng coming from a distance, and hurriedly stood up and saluted and said, "My sister hasn't practiced archery for a long time, so it's better to compete with Lin Duwei today, and ask Lin Duwei to give advice." ”

"Okay, Ronghui, I remember that when my father was there, I praised your archery skills as the best among all the sisters, why don't you try it with Lin Duwei!" Yun Tianfeng looked at Lin Chaoying again, "Lin Duwei, if you deliberately let the princess, then you are guilty of bullying the king, do you understand?" Let me see what you're made of. After Yun Tianfeng finished speaking, he took the concubine and the others to the side and sat down to watch.

Lin Chaoying looked at General Pingxi on the side, and felt that his father's face was not very good, so he looked back at Nanling Mo again, bit his lip, and seemed to agree for a long time: "Weichen takes orders." ”

"Come on, push the target back twenty steps, and take five arrows." Eldest Princess Ronghui ordered.

Seventy steps, many sons of families in Beijing may not be able to shoot the bull's-eye, let alone two women. Lin Chaoying was shocked, and looked at Nan Lingmo again, Nan Lingmo made a 'rest assured' mouth, then closed his eyes and gritted his teeth to compete.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh" Princess Ronghui sent out three arrows in a row, and the arrows hit the bull's-eye. Lin Chaoying's heart was even more bottomless when he saw it. The eldest princess Rong Zhen was also anxious, Nanling Mo thought about it, took out a handkerchief and walked up, taking the opportunity to wipe Lin Chaoying's hands, and whispered: "Don't worry, don't care about anything else, concentrate, you must be steady." ”

Lin Chaoying closed his eyes and took a deep breath, stabilized his mind, picked up the arrow and shot it.

only heard the sound of "whoosh", Lin Chaoying also quickly shot the arrow, she seemed to be in one go, and shot five arrows at once, and then closed her eyes and didn't dare to look at the target again.

"The eldest princess has four arrows in the bull's-eye, and Captain Lin has four arrows in the bull's-eye, and there is no missing target." The guards shouted the number.

"Okay, hahahaha, good! It's worthy of being the commander I appointed, very good! General Pingxi, you have raised a good daughter! Yun Tianfeng nodded with satisfaction, "Come on, reward the golden silk soft armor to Captain Lin." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." General Pingxi and Lin Chaoying hurriedly knelt down to thank him.

"Fourth sister, you can go to my private vault and pick what you like!" Yun Tianfeng said casually.

"Your Majesty, you have been out for a long time, why don't you go back to the big tent to rest for a while, and the concubine has prepared a cold drink for you, which can get rid of your fatigue." The noble concubine who walked behind came up and saluted.

"Brother Huang," the county lord of Xue Huan suddenly said, "The courtier sister heard the county lord of Linlang say that the archery skills of the county lord of Chaoren are passed down by the prince of Zhennan, so it is better to let the county lord of Chaoren show her archery skills." ”

"Oh?" Yun Tianfeng said in surprise, and looked at Nanling Mo again, "Chaoren, what Xue Huan said is right?" ”

Nan Lingmo was taken aback by this sudden conversation, and quickly reacted, "Your Majesty, the archery skills of the courtiers are only taught by the martial artists in the house, and the archery skills of the eldest brother of the courtiers are passed down by their fathers. ”

"Second sister, don't be modest, my father has also taught you for two years." Nan Lingce came out of nowhere, and said bitterly, "Brother, I saw it with my own eyes. ”

Nan Ling Mo looked at Nan Ce in the crowd, only to see a trace of hatred flash in his eyes, he couldn't help frowning, and just wanted to say something more, he heard Yun Tianfeng say: "Since this is the case, Chaoren, don't shirk it." ”

Nanling Mo saw that she was stuck in the fire and couldn't get down, and her heart sank: "The courtiers obey the order." ”

Nan Lingmo stepped forward, took the bow, looked around at everyone, and saw many people holding and bowing their heads to see the excitement, all looking at her with a playful attitude. The corners of her mouth curled slightly, and she said in a deep voice: "What are these fifty steps, seventy steps, arrows are used to kill the enemy on the battlefield, is it possible that the enemy is coming on the battlefield, do you still have to count the arrows when you are fifty steps?" At that time, I was afraid that I would have died a long time ago! Someone, a hundred steps!! ”

"What, a hundred steps !!" As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned. The eldest princess Ronghui was also shocked when she heard this, the seventy steps just now were already her limit, and she would definitely not be able to do one hundred steps. Lin Chaoying, Huang Liying and Princess Rong Zhen were excited.

General Pingxi was also stunned, squinting at the tall and thin girl in front of him, and his words just now made him unstoppably admire.

"Chaoren, if you hit the bull's-eye, I will reward you heavily." Yun Tianfeng also said excitedly, "Just reward, just reward ......"

"Brother Huang, this king remembers hearing the emperor's grandfather say that the 'sunset bow' was used by the founding queen, because the ancestor queen made a good bow and arrow, and could pierce Yang in a hundred steps. If I can have a woman in my Dayan country to wear Yang in a hundred steps, I will give her the 'Sunset Bow'. Yun Tianhong's voice came from behind the crowd.

Everyone saw His Royal Highness King Li slowly walking towards this side with him, and the ladies of the family couldn't help blushing when they saw King Li, and they all lowered their heads and secretly looked at His Royal Highness King Li. "Excuse me!" King Li softly stopped the crowd who were about to salute.

"This" Yun Tianfeng hesitated, "Seventh brother, this 'Sunset Bow' is a treasure of my Dayan Kingdom, which can command the three armies, enter the camp, and help the Son of Heaven to level the world......"

"In this way, I can embody the spirit of the woman of the Great Yan Kingdom and help the Son of Heaven to level the world, wasn't this the case with the ancestor queen back then? What's more, this is what the emperor's father said. "Yun Tianhong didn't give an inch.

"Brother Huang, if the lord of Chaoren can really penetrate Yang in a hundred steps, it is okay to give her the 'Sunset Bow'." His Royal Highness King Li also spoke.

“…… Okay," Yun Tianfeng thought for a long time, and finally made up his mind, "Chaoren, if you can really penetrate the Yang in a hundred steps, then I will give you the 'Sunset Bow' of the Ancestor Empress, but you only have one chance, understand?" ”

Nanling Mo secretly scolded Yun Tianfeng for being cunning in her heart, and said calmly on her face: "Yes, the courtiers obey the order." ”

Nan Lingmo calmly took the bow, and her mind kept recalling how Qin Mu, who was known as the "No. 1 Marksman in the South" in the army, taught her in the past.

At this time, there was silence on the field, and everyone stared at Nan Lingmo nervously. I saw her standing in the middle without a bow, closing her eyes as if she was recuperating. Lin Chaoying was just about to speak, but was pulled by General Pingxi.

I saw Nan Lingmo suddenly open her eyes, raised her hand and put on three arrows at once. General Pingxi, who was watching from the sidelines, saw her move like this, his eyes lit up, and the corners of Yun Tianhong's mouth turned up slightly when he saw it. Nan Ling Mo took a deep breath and pulled the bow, and everyone also took a breath, and after three breaths, Nan Ling Mo suddenly let go of his hand and fired three arrows at once!!

Everyone was confused, only to see General Pingxi whisper: "Three arrows are fired at once, the first forty steps of the arrow are like a rainbow, the first forty steps of the head arrow is weak, and the second arrow can help twenty steps; After sixty steps, the two arrows are weak, and the three arrows help them to travel another twenty steps; After eighty steps, the second arrow falls, and the third arrow heads the arrow and travels another twenty steps, the head arrow hits the bull's-eye, and the third arrow falls. As soon as the words fell, I saw two or three arrows fall to the ground, and the head arrow hit the bull's-eye.

"The 100 steps of the lord of Chaoren are in the bull's-eye!!" The guards shouted the number and brought the target to Yun Tianfeng.

Sure enough!! Everyone gasped, and their eyes changed when they looked at Nan Lingmo. Yun Tianfeng looked at the arrow on the bullseye blankly, and then looked at Nan Lingmo and the others, he didn't expect that Nan Lingmo, a sixteen-year-old girl, could really shoot at the bullseye in a hundred steps. Yun Tianfeng quickly reacted, clapped his hands loudly and praised: "Good, good, good!! is worthy of being the daughter of the king of Zhennan, and her archery skills are so good, she is really a woman who does not let her eyebrows go! My Dayan country is really talented, and I am very gratified! Three treasures, return to the palace to give the 'sunset bow' to the lord of Chaoren. After speaking, Yun Tianfeng left without looking back.
