Chapter 67: Garden Archery
"Archery? This is the palace, not the hunting ground, how to show your skills? Liu Che'er asked one step after another.
Liu Yifu nodded to the housekeeper beside him, and after a while, dozens of people gathered intermittently outside the flower pavilion. They are all maids and attendants in the house. Liu Yifu pointed at the group of people and said, "They are the prey." ”
Liu Yifu's answer did not get the support of the people in the pavilion, on the contrary, they all stared at him secretly with their eyes, except that they were still trying their best to please Lin Yunrou on the side.
"How do you want to compare?" Xiao Minglang suddenly stood up and asked.
Liu Yifu's housekeeper explained on the side: "It's still according to the old rules. Whoever shoots the flower on their head, and the petals are intact, is done. ”
"That's it? All the princes are masters of riding and archery, this question is too simple. Lin Yunrou smiled.
Hua Yan said coldly: "Miss Lin doesn't know archery, so it's better to try it as a target, empathize with them, and see if this question is difficult." ”
Lin Yunrou's face was flushed by the words of the painting, and she stomped her feet and sat back on the seat next to Liu Yifu.
The housekeeper said, "It's not a dead target, it's dozens of live targets." There are so many trees intertwined here, and the target is movable, it's not that easy. In the past, few sons could pass the test. ”
Liu Yifu smiled: "This is true, even I have a time when I miss." ”
Liu Che'er took a step forward and stopped talking.
Hua Yan couldn't look past it for a long time, and said, "I don't like this kind of play. ”
Everyone looked at the painting, and some people dared to say "no" to the eldest prince, how could such a strange thing not attract people's attention.
Liu Yifu asked in surprise, "What does the second girl think?" ”
Hua Yan smiled and said, "I think this gameplay is still too simple. All the princes are people who have been in and out of the battlefield, and I believe that it is not a problem to wear Yang in a hundred steps. ”
Liu Yifu became more and more interested, and he asked seriously, "Oh? The second girl said, what is reasonable? ”
Hua Yan took out an arrow from the butler's hand, broke the sharp arrow, and said to everyone with the shaft of the arrow: "Shoot arrows only with the shaft of the arrow, and the winner is Zhengda." ”
The butler shook his head and said, "This can't be done, how can you shoot without the scissors of the arrow, and you can't mutilate the petals." It's impossible. ”
Hua Yan raised his head and smiled: "This is scared? ”
Liu Yifu on the side listened, clapped his hands and smiled: "Okay, my second girl is really unusual." The arrow shaft is the arrow shaft, and this world is still afraid that it will not be possible. Since you have to compete, you have to have a bet. Can the second girl afford to lose? ”
Huayan did not show weakness, and replied: "Who loses is not certain!" If I lose, I'll be left to the son's disposal. If the son loses, he has to listen to my arrangement. How is it? ”
Liu Che'er took the lead and said: "Yan'er, you don't often practice archery, I don't think it's better to compare." ”
Painting Yan Buyi said: "The third master doesn't have to worry about me, I know it in my heart." ”
"Okay, just according to what the second girl said. However, the people sitting together are lively when they participate together, and they are not allowed to be absent. Might as well add a little more difficulty. After Liu Yifu finished speaking, the evil ghost smiled, turned to the maids and attendants waiting outside the pavilion and said, "You listen to this king, if anyone is shot, he will be pulled out and executed immediately." ”
"In this way, in order to survive, they will not let us hit the target easily, and the difficulty is much more difficult." Liu Che'er stood beside Huayan and said softly.
"You! ......" Huayan finally relieved their crisis step by step, but he still couldn't escape Liu Yifu's ferocity. She gritted her teeth and clenched her fists, eager to tear Liu Yifu apart.
Seeing this, Liu Che'er gently pulled Huayan back to her seat and sat down, always paying attention to her movements.
Fortunately, Liu Yifu was concentrating on studying the arrow shaft and did not notice it. However, the anger of the painting was seen by Lin Yunrou, and she was silent for a while, just waiting for the opportunity to attack.
"I'll do it first." Xiao Minglang walked to the specified range, took out an arrow shaft, put on the arrow bow, aimed at the rapidly moving crowd in the woods, loosened the bow, and shot straight forward, but did not hit the specified target, but pierced straight into the center of the tree pole, stabbing the tree out of a hole, only a millimeter away from the real target.
Although the target was missed, there was still an exclamation from the seat.
Liu Yizhen, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly clapped his hands and applauded: "A small wooden branch actually pierced a big tree, Xiao Gongzi is really extraordinary." ”
Liu Che'er also nodded in admiration: "Brother Lang is so skilled!" ”
"It's strong, but it's not precise. It's a pity that I still missed. Liu Yifu smiled contemptuously.
Xiao Minglang put down the arrow and bow, turned around and bowed to Liu Yifu and saluted: "I lost, let you be punished." ”
It can be seen that Xiao Minglang deliberately missed his hand, in order to protect those living people who served as targets. He stood up and relieved him: "Of course you have to be punished, and you have to be punished heavily!" ”
Liu Yifu wanted to speak, but when he saw that Huayan had an idea, he happily accepted it: "Okay, let the second girl punish her." ”
Lin Yunrou suddenly accosted: "You don't have to punish too much, it's just a game." ”
Hua Yan smiled, walked to Xiao Minglang's seat, took away the wine bottles and wine glasses on the table, turned to look at Xiao Minglang and said: "Su Ri heard that Xiaoyao Gongzi never leaves his hand, not to mention that wine is the source of the soul, and now I will punish you for not drinking for a month, can you be punished?" She didn't wait for Xiao Minglang to reply, and said to Liu Yifu: "Banning alcohol is equivalent to imprisoning his soul, I think this kind of pain, all drinking friends can understand, right?" The prince said, is my punishment good? ”
Liu Yifu laughed and said, "Wonderful! punished Xiao Shilang for a month and banned alcohol, where is Xiao Shilang's entourage? You watch for the king. ”
"Yes!" The attendant replied.
Xiao Minglang bowed his hand and said respectfully: "The minister will be punished." With that, he sat back down in his seat. He smiled at the painter next to him and thanked him.
Next, it was Liu Che'er's turn to compete, he walked to the firing range, hesitated, picked up his bow and arrow, and shot empty. He pretended to be dejected, returned to the pavilion, and apologized to Liu Yifu: "Brother Huang, I lost, please punish Brother Huang." ”
Among the royal brothers, the one who can still be a little close to Liu Yifu is Liu Che'er. Several other brothers, few can tolerate his arrogant and arrogant temperament, so he takes care of Liu Che'er on weekdays, and when he saw Liu Che'er missing, he didn't make it difficult, but just said like a big brother teaching his younger brother: "Third brother, let you have less dealings with those people who have wine bags and rice bags on weekdays, but you just don't listen, and now the archery has retreated to this point, and even the arrow can't shoot straight." Have you forgotten what your father taught us in the first place? ”
Liu Che'er pretended to be sad and said, "Remember, I will definitely strengthen my practice in the future." ”
Liu Yifu waved his hand helplessly and said, "That's it, I won't punish you heavily this time, just punish you to practice archery every day until you can achieve something like me." Before he could finish speaking, he quickly drew the arrow from the quiver, and without looking at the moving target, an arrow shaft shot straight at the place, and a red flower was pierced through the heart by the shaft, and fell to the ground, but in the blink of an eye.
Huayan couldn't help but secretly exclaim, history records that Liu Yifu is especially good at archery, and it is indeed true.
Lin Yunrou stood up excitedly and said with a smile: "The eldest prince is good at archery!" The Great Song Dynasty is probably unmatched! As she spoke, she took a light step and brought the prey handed over by the housekeeper to Huayan to show off, "What do you think of the second girl?" ”
Huayan didn't look at Lin Yunrou, and said to Liu Yifu with a smile: "The eldest prince's archery technique is exquisite. ”
Liu Yifu sat back in his seat, then smiled with satisfaction, picked up the wine glass and drank it again.
Lin Yunrou looked at Huayan with a sneering expression and said, "Let's ask the second girl to start the competition." ”
Hua Yan turned around and whispered to Sheng Lan behind him, then turned around and looked at Lin Yunrou and smiled: "Miss Lin can't wait like this?" She then walked up to Liu Yifu and asked, "What the prince just said that if anyone is shot, they will have to be pulled out and executed, is this true?" ”
Liu Yifu replied: "What this king says is one. ”
Hua Yan immediately turned around and pointed to the girl who was kneeling outside the pavilion and had just been stabbed by Liu Yifu, and said, "The housekeeper won't pull her out yet!" ”
When the housekeeper heard this, he didn't dare to slack off, so he immediately ordered his subordinates to drag the girl out horizontally.
"I didn't expect the second girl to be so bold. On weekdays, I saw the wrong second girl. Lin Yunrou said with a smile and sat back next to Liu Yifu.
Huayan didn't pay attention to it, and glanced at Shenglan, and Shenglan quietly retreated.
Hua Yan slowly pulled out the arrow from the quiver, and took the arrow bow to make left and right strokes.
Liu Che'er couldn't rest assured, and pleaded with Liu Yifu: "After all, the second girl is a woman, and it is still unfair to her." ”
Liu Yifu, who was waiting to see a good show, was willing to listen, waved his hand impatiently, and said, "I think she is quite confident, and the third brother doesn't need to say it anymore." If there is a bustle, look at it. ”
Liu Che'er reluctantly sat back in his seat and glanced at Xiao Minglang again, but Xiao Minglang was indifferent.
Xiao Minglang had seen the archery technique of painting Yan, so he was not worried.
After finishing the painting, he walked to the side, clenched the bow and arrow, and used all his strength to unsheath the arrow, but the arrow did not fall to the target, but shot to the tree pole, forming a triangular arc and rebounding back, falling straight to the direction of Lin Yunrou's head, so frightened that Lin Yunrou fell to the ground in horror, and couldn't come back to her senses for a long time.
When Lin Yunrou was fully awake and noticed that there were no scars on her body, her pale face slowly regained her blood color, she glared at the painting face, wanting to reprimand angrily, and then turned around and softly threw herself into Liu Yifu's arms, and cried with rain.
Liu Yifu hurriedly whispered softly: "Miss Wanrou, don't be afraid, don't be afraid, if there is anything in this world, the prince will make decisions for you." ”
I saw Lin Yunrou poking out half of her face from Liu Yifu's arms and looking at Huayan and said: "Although the little girl has a low status, she is not as noble as the second girl, the little girl has offended, although the second girl is clearly indicated, how can she assassinate me like this!" ”
Liu Che'er hurriedly relieved the siege and said: "Miss Lin, don't misunderstand, Yan'er just missed for a while. ”
Huayan didn't care about her situation, and suddenly saw that Lin Yunrou and Liu Yifu were so close, and suddenly remembered that on the day of her sister's wedding, she heard the intimate conversation between the two on the tree, and the two were actually Liu Yifu and Lin Yunrou!
