Needless to say, Cai Yingwu is an elder of the Northwest Sect Feitianmen, and his kerndo attainments are famous in the northwest, and he is a celebrity himself, with countless fans, although Cai Yingwu himself did not say that he is the first archery master in the northwest, but many people in Feitianmen and Yunzhou have regarded Cai Yingwu as the first person in the northwest archery.
And Yan Liqiang is naturally not a weak person, this with a mysterious temperament, the deeds of the legendary young man who can communicate in his dreams have also spread throughout the northwest in a short period of time, and Yan Liqiang founded the "Han Imperial Times" in the imperial capital Now leading the trend of the entire Han Empire, the first to open up the atmosphere, its attainments in terms of organs, is even more obvious to all, there is a legend that it is Yan Liqiang in a dream to be taught by the gods, as for Yan Liqiang's archery attainments, although not many people have seen them, but a person who can be favored by His Majesty the Emperor and wants to hire as a prince archery teacher, the archery attainments are definitely not weak. Moreover, Yan Liqiang also opened a bow club in Ganzhou, claiming to have 3,000 disciples, and his people are in Ganzhou.
In this kind of martial arts world, the duel between the two archery powerhouses is just like Yan Liqiang's previous life two emperor superstars posted about the fight, naturally attracted countless people to flock to it, a month after the news came out, to the end of December, Lanzhou Canglong Mountain's Tianchi, there have begun to be people coming one after another, occupying a good place, ready to watch the battle, many people, even have seen this duel, as the battle for the title of the first person in the Northwest Archery, many places, even opened the handicap and gambling game, on the outcome of the bet。
On January 1 of the fifteenth year of Yuanping, the snow in Lanzhou was flying, the mountain danced with silver snakes, the original Chi wax elephant, and the Canglong Mountain was wrapped in silver, the Tianchi that covers an area of seven or eight square kilometers had already formed a thick ice surface, and on the slope of the Tianchi, tens of thousands of people had already gathered, and the original quiet Tianchi side, as long as it was a place where people could stay, it was already crowded with all kinds of people from the northwest counties, these people, there were Jianghu characters from various states and counties, and even local wealthy families, and even the people in the Ganzhou Thorn Mansion and Yunzhou Thorn History Mansion had changed into civilian clothes and hid in the crowd。 This duel is definitely the grandest in the past 50 years.
The time of the duel was chosen at three o'clock in the afternoon today, and the choice of the duel time was very particular, because noon is the time of the day when the yang energy is at its peak, and the duel is chosen at this time, just like giving the prisoner the first choice at this time. Yan Liqiang and Cai Yingwu's duel, although no one said that it was a battle of life and death, as long as you look at the time chosen by Feitianmen, those who are familiar with it know that this duel is a battle of life and death, and only one person on both sides can leave alive in the end.
Just after noon, under the gaze of countless pairs of eyes, from the hillside where the Flying Gate was located, a figure jumped out like a goshawk, and its body was like electricity, speeding on a snow-white ice, which was extremely eye-catching. After just a while, this person came to the middle of the Tianchi, and then stood solemnly, squinting slightly into the distance, standing on the ice, waiting quietly in the wind and snow.
This person is in his fifties, his face is dark, his eyes are like eagles and wolves, extremely sharp, and he is carrying a dark red horned python bow.
"An arrow in Yunzhou, this is an arrow in Yunzhou, Cai Yingwu ......"
Seeing that person fly out, among the onlookers on the hillside around Tianchi, countless people have already recognized the identity of that person, and shouted loudly, and the edge of Tianchi, which was already a little noisy and discussed, suddenly became even more restless, and countless people had dry throats, and stared at the situation in the middle of Tianchi with wide eyes, Cai Yingwu had already played, which meant that the time for the duel was about to come.
It's just that Cai Yingwu stood quietly and solemnly in the Tianchi, and waited for almost half an hour, but he didn't see Yan Liqiang, who was dueling him, arrive, and among the onlookers around the Tianchi Pool, there was inevitably some commotion.
"That Yan Liqiang, won't he not come!" Jiang Tianhua, the northwest transport envoy who changed into civilian clothes and even wore a human skin mask, stood in the crowd of people at Feitianmen, and after seeing Cai Yingwu go up for a while, he still didn't see Yan Liqiang appear, Jiang Tianhua couldn't help but become anxious, and turned his head to ask the person next to him.
Jiang Tianhua came this time, just to see with his own eyes that Yan Liqiang, who made him disgraced, how he finally died in front of him, in order to promote this duel, he took out 500,000 taels of silver himself, and he had a big blood, just to let Feitianmen make a move and give Yan Liqiang the result, as long as Yan Liqiang lives for a day, he will be on his back all day long, and he feels uncomfortable.
The person beside Jiang Tianhua, full of silver hair, lion nose and fine eyes, wearing a purple and gold patriarch crown on his head, that face is impressive at a glance, feeling full of momentum but scheming, that person is standing with his hands behind his back, wearing a gorgeous blue brocade robe, surrounded by a large number of people from Feitianmen, Zongyi and He Tianhong, who gave Yan Liqiang a battle post more than a month ago, are also around this person, this person is the sect master of Feitianmen, Guo Yifei.
"Don't worry about the transfer, if that Yan Liqiang doesn't dare to come, this is the way to kill himself!" Guo Yifei's face showed a sneer, like ice, "I didn't personally deal with him in the face of the Zhong family and Lei Sitong this time, if he doesn't know how to lift and wants to escape, then it's no wonder I use the means of the rivers and lakes, our disciples of the Flying Heaven Gate are not dead in vain, since he dares to take action against our disciples of the Flying Heaven Gate, then he must be ready to take his life to pay!"
Jiang Tianhua, who was wearing a mask, couldn't see the look on his face, but after he heard Guo Yifei's words, his eyes quickly turned twice, and then he leaned his head closer and whispered, " The suzerain should know that Yan Liqiang offended the prime minister in the imperial capital at the beginning, which made the prime minister very unhappy, originally the last time the prime minister had arranged a blind comparison for him in the imperial capital city, and wanted his life, but he didn't expect to let him take the opportunity to run, for this duel, although the prime minister was in the imperial capital, he was also very concerned, if the Feitianmen could do a little more beautiful this time, let the prime minister know, the future of the Feitianmen in the future, not to mention the immediate ......"
Guo Yifei's eyes flickered, and then nodded slightly, "Please reassure the adults, even if that Yan Liqiang can run today, he can't run tomorrow!"
"That's good, that's good!"
As the minutes passed, the atmosphere on both sides of Tianchi became more restless, and they began to discuss.
"Why hasn't that Yan Liqiang come yet, won't he be a coward!"
"It's possible, I heard that Yan Liqiang is just a teenager, and if he wants to fight against a strong man like Cai Yingwu, it's strange if he doesn't have a weak heart!"
"Damn, isn't this just a trip for us to run thousands of miles for nothing? Lao Tzu also paid a hundred taels of silver to buy Cai Yingwu to win within three arrows......
"It can't be that Yan Liqiang has an accident!"
Just when the time was still half a quarter of an hour, it was almost three o'clock in the afternoon, and many people even felt that Yan Liqiang would not come, one by one they were full of disappointment, and even when they were already scolding at the slope, the roaring sound of iron hooves finally came from the mountain pass in the south of Tianchi......
The young men who followed Yan Liqiang, one by one, carrying war bows, were full of spirit, and with Yan Liqiang riding their horses, and with their arrival, the majestic songs in their mouths also came, and fell on the ears of a cadre on the side of the heavenly pond-
"The wolf smoke rises and the country looks north
The dragon curled the horse, and the sword qi was like frost
The heart is like the Yellow River
Who can fight in 20 years
Hatred is mad and the knife is headed
How many siblings are buried in their bones
What a pity to die to repay the family and country
I sighed and was even more speechless, full of blood and tears
The horseshoe goes south and people look north
People look north at the grass and yellow dust
I am willing to defend the territory and reopen the territory
The dignified man wants to let the Quartet ......
Congratulations ......"
Just as soon as they heard this song, countless people were shocked......
