Volume 1 Mo Shang Gongzi Xing Chapter 44 Condor Shooting

After the officials in the ring came to report the final results, Emperor Song Zhi took the civil and military ministers out of the tent and stood on the viewing platform.

He looked at Zhao Ning, who was waiting in front of the viewing platform, his eyes were full of approval, "In the whole Jiazi, there has never been a successful person in the autumn hunting martial arts field." Now the son of the Zhao family, Ning, is the leader, so that after sixty years, Daqi will reappear such a grand event, which is a sign of the great prosperity of the dynasty!"

As he spoke, under the gaze of everyone, Song Zhi waved his hand, signaled the old eunuch holding the jade box to step forward, pointed to the jade box and said loudly: "I gave it with a longbow 'Shooting the Condor' to show the emperor's heart of treating talents." ”

The old eunuch walked down the viewing platform and solemnly handed the jade box to Zhao Ning, who took it with both hands, bowed to the emperor, thanked him, and promised not to dishonor the prestige of the eagle shooting.

Hearing the word "Condor Shooting", the crowd suddenly boiled, and the voices of discussion came and went.

The great name of "Condor Shooting", there is no great cultivator of Great Qi who has not heard of it, and now that he sees the emperor rewarding Zhao Ning with Condor Shooting, he knows that the emperor values Zhao Ning and relies on Zhao's heart.

Zhao Ning's status in their minds couldn't help but go to a new level.

"That's the 'Condor Archery' of the top three first-class Fu soldiers, Brother Ning is really in the limelight now, when will I be able to get such a generous gift from His Majesty like him?" Chen Anzhi's face was full of yearning and envy.

Wei Wuxian smiled, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Wait until next year when you stand up, if you succeed, maybe there will be such an opportunity." ”

He was joking, but when these words fell into Chen Anzhi's ears, they were all encouragement, he was a person who sat up and walked, so he nodded with a straight face, determined to redouble his efforts to practice from today onwards.

"The Condor is such a militaristic weapon, Your Majesty actually rewarded Zhao Ning, a young man, and the imperial family's reliance on the Zhao family is really not comparable to other families......

When Yang Yanguang saw this, he had already made up his mind that he would settle his suspicions with Zhao Xuanji tonight.

Back at the tent, after Zhao Xuanji thanked Song Zhi again for arching the eagle, he looked at Xu Minglang with a smile, "Gong Xu, can you still make a bet?"

"Count naturally. Xu Minglang said very calmly, and there was no flaw in his tone, but the corners of his eyes twitched slightly, still revealing his true feelings.

Now everyone knows that Xu Zhiyuan provoked Zhao Ning several times in advance, and he didn't know how thick the sky was, otherwise he would not have been named by Zhao Ning in public, and now Xu Zhiyuan was beaten into a pig's head by Zhao Ning, which can be described as asking for hardship and losing face.

Xu Minglang's face was gloomy, and he also lost a first-grade talisman soldier for this, which made him even more painful in comparison. Even if it is the Xu clan, the number of first-grade rune soldiers is not more than one hand!

In this case, the old man was disrespectful. Zhao Xuanji took Xu Minglang's sword very unceremoniously, and he didn't mean to be humble at all.

Xu Minglang simply closed his eyes, out of sight.

Returning to the Zhao camp with the jade box, Zhao Ning was soon surrounded by elated clansmen, some asked questions, some kept congratulating, and some were impatient to check Zhao Ning's injuries, and he was almost pushed into the tent by the crowd.

When Zhao Ning took it out of the jade box, he saw that the bow body was crystal clear, the rune lines were so faint that they were almost invisible, and there was a curved red line inside, but it was like a dragon and a snake, which was extremely clear.

And even Zhao Qiyue couldn't help but play with it for a long time, but it was a pity that she was petite, not to mention that no matter how her arms were stretched, it was not enough to pull the bowstring full, and when she raised the longbow, one end touched the ground.

Even if the bow was given to her, she wouldn't be able to use it.

"It is rumored that the Condor is made of the dragon Xuanjing, the connotation of the dragon spirit, there is no need to use another bow and arrow, when the bowstring is pulled, the rune array is activated with true qi to stimulate the dragon's qi, and the arrow will naturally be formed, with a range of up to six hundred steps!"

Zhao Qiyue handed the Condor to Zhao Ning, the unpleasant experience just now had made her lose much of her good impression of the Condor Archery, but she was still very happy that Zhao Ning could have this bow, and kept introducing the relevant situation to Zhao Ning.

She continued: "Before the founding of the Great Qi Dynasty, the ancestors of the imperial family fought in all directions with eagle archery in their hands, and they had a record of shooting and killing the powerhouses of the King Extreme Realm. ”

Zhao Ning stroked the condor, the tentacles were cool, and he didn't feel cold and hard, but seemed to hold the warm jade, which was indescribably comfortable.

In fact, he knows more about condor archery than Zhao Qiyue, for example, when "drawing the bow and arrows", the rune array on the bow body will not have bright light, and the arrows will only turn red from colorless true qi after they are shot.

It is very suitable for long-range sneak attacks and sniping opponents.

However, with the realm of Zhao Ning's mid-stage Imperial Qi Realm, now at most three arrows in a row with the Condor Archery at a time, the True Qi will be exhausted.

Being able to get the Condor Shooting was an unexpected joy for Zhao Ning, even if he knew that Emperor Song Zhi trusted the Zhao family, he never thought that the emperor would reward him with such a sharp weapon so easily, and now that he thinks about it, he still feels a little strange.

In short, this is a windfall, and Zhao Ning is happy to accept it.

After dark that day, Zhao Ning and Zhao Qiyue and others roasted wild meat in front of the bonfire, and when Zhao Xuanji came back, he was followed by many people, talking happily with each other, including Yang Yanguang, the head of the Yang family.

Seeing that Yang Yanguang was always a smiling face, he laughed a few times with Zhao Xuanji from time to time, as if the unhappiness that happened some time ago did not happen, and the relationship between them returned to the state before the Yang family was demoted.

"I think Yang Hou did it on purpose. When Zhao Qiyue handed the barbecue to Zhao Ning, he glanced at Yang Yanguang who followed Zhao Xuanji into the account unhappily.

She continued: "He asked Yang Jiani and Sun Kang to walk in the camp before, just to make us unhappy, to let us sense the Yang family's intention to deviate, and to see our response, so that he can decide whether to fall to the Sun family, or swallow the loss of the lord and continue to be close to us." ”

According to Zhao Qiyue's meaning, Zhao Ning overwhelmed the crowd in the ring, showing the strength of the leader, and the Yang family realized that the Zhao family would still be stronger than the Sun family in the future, so he hurriedly came over to make a stand.

Zhao Ning didn't have much thought about it, it was all for the interests of the family. The Yang family is not like the Wei family, and their family situation is not small with the Zhao family, which is doomed to the fact that the two sides cannot communicate on an equal footing.

Without an equal relationship, there will naturally be no tie-clad friendship.

After eating the roast rabbit meat made by Zhao Qiyue, Zhao Ning held a pot of grape brew and half-lay down in front of the bonfire, with a leisurely attitude. He had been fighting all day, and now he was tired and needed to relax.

There is nothing to do in the past two days, and when the competition between the groups is over, the autumn hunt will enter the next stage, that is, the actual combat drill of the art of war, and then Zhao Ning needs to play again.

Zhao Qiyue kicked Zhao Xin, Nunu mouthed, and motioned him to loosen the tired Zhao Ning's muscles and bones, and reward the other party for Zhao's long face today.

Zhao Xin saw that Zhao Qiyue wanted to rub Zhao Ning's shoulders and massage it himself, the boss was unhappy, and when Zhao Qiyue's eyes began to sink and his eyes began to darken, he suddenly became smart.

He hurriedly jumped behind Zhao Ning, Ma Li pinched Zhao Ning's shoulder and pressed the acupoint, and did not forget to give the eldest sister a smile, indicating that he would definitely complete the task successfully, and he did not need the other party to teach him martial arts.

Zhao Qiyue, who has already made roast rabbit meat for everyone, rightly thinks that Zhao Xin can't eat and drink for nothing, and he has to do some work, as the eldest sister, he must put an end to the habit of his younger siblings who are easy and tired of work.

However, although Zhao Xin had a good attitude, his craftsmanship was unsightly, and within two clicks, Zhao Qiyue saw Zhao Ning begin to grin his teeth, and he couldn't even find the mouth of the wine jug, and the wine was spilled on his chest.

She stood up angrily, kicked Zhao Xin away again, and went on the field herself, which made Zhao Ning feel comfortable.

In the past two days when Zhao Ning was recuperating, a very unpleasant argument broke out in the emperor's tent.

"You mendi, what are you doing with the art of war drills that are not good for the examination of time and strategy, poetry and songs, and mixed with our men's art of war drills?" Wei Chongshan glared at Liu Muzhi viciously.

Just now, Liu Muzhi proposed to the emperor to let the sect Junyan also participate in the actual combat drill of the art of war that only the disciples of the sect participated in before, and it was quickly echoed by several civil officials and important ministers.

Wei Chongshan felt that Liu Muzhi had lost the jade pendant and Fu Bing a few days ago, and he was not angry in his heart, so he tried every means to find their unhappiness, so he strongly objected.

And Zhao Xuanji sensed the crisis, frowned and said: "The separation of civil and military is customized by this dynasty, the autumn hunting ground will test the art of war, and the men's handsome will compete in the current affairs and strategy, which is also a tradition, how can it be said that it will be changed?"

The emperor, who was behind the desk, did not speak immediately.

Xu Minglang smiled and said: "Zhao Gong is too worried, this is just a young man's game, how can it be involved in military affairs? Let them take this opportunity to learn a thing or two from the disciples of the generals, also for the sake of fighting on the battlefield in the future. ”

"Xu Minglang, you are so clever!"

Wei Chongshan was furious, pointed at the other party's nose and scolded, "The position of supervising the army should not be there in the first place, and you still want to climb up the pole now?

"Duke Wei, pay attention to your etiquette!"

Xu Minglang sank his face, but he also understood Wei Chongshan's rough temperament, so he didn't have the heart to talk to him about this now, and turned his head to look at Sun Meng, the head of the Sun family, "What does Sun Gong think?"

Sun Meng's eyes changed several times, and he didn't talk immediately.

He instinctively felt that Xu Minglang and others suddenly raised this matter, which was definitely not untargeted, and should have another deep meaning. As a general, he naturally resented the civil official reaching out to him, but as the head of the Sun family, he had other considerations.

"Please also ask Your Majesty to judge this matter. Sun Meng clenched his fists towards Song Zhi.

Song Zhi asked everyone in the account, "What do you think?"

The civil officials in the tent naturally agreed, but most of the generals disagreed, and the two sides quarreled fiercely, but there was no result.

"In that case, let's discuss this matter tomorrow. Song Zhi waved his hand.

Coming out of the big tent, the more Zhao Xuanji thought about it, the more he felt that this was wrong, so he pulled Wei Chongshan and several other generals with deep ties and went to his camp to discuss.

As soon as Sun Meng returned to his camp, he received a report, and Xu Minglang posted a post inviting him over to the banquet.

"What does Xu Minglang, this old fox want to do?" With this question in mind, Sun Meng decided to meet the other party first, and when he arrived at the Xu camp, he met Xu Minglang in the tent, and found that the wine and food had been put on the table, which was very hearty.

Xu Minglang got up to greet him, greeted him with a few words, and asked Sun Meng to sit down with a smile, behaving respectfully and speaking in easy-going manners, completely without the majesty and domineering of the generals when he was in the court.

After drinking two cups, Sun Meng went straight to the topic and asked Xu Minglang about his intention to invite him to the banquet, Xu Minglang said with a smile: "Since Sun Gong asked, the old man will open the door."

"The Sun family has a lot of outstanding people recently, among the eighteen nobles and the thirteen families, only the Sun family has two powerhouses in the Wang Ji Realm at the moment. With such a family situation, Sun Gong doesn't want to contribute more to the country and share more worries?"

Sun Meng frowned and said, "What does Duke Xu mean?"

Xu Minglang smiled and said unhurriedly: "The position of the Metropolitan Governor of the Dadu Mansion has been controlled by the Zhao family for more than a hundred years, and this is because the Zhao family is powerful. But Bengong felt that the Sun family should now enter the Dadu Governor's Mansion. ”

Sun Meng ran, "Duke Xu came to separate the Sun family and the Zhao family, and Sun had no choice but to say goodbye." ”

Although he wants to replace the Zhao clan, he will definitely not unite with the civil officials, if so, with the current relationship between the civil and military forces of the Great Qi, the Sun clan will become the target of public criticism in the Jiangmen.

"Don't worry about Sun Gong, how can this prince separate the Sun family and the Zhao family? ”

Xu Minglang said confidently, "Sun Gong thinks that if it is the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion and becomes the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, is it more beneficial to the Imperial Dynasty?"

"The Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies?" Sun Meng was stunned.

"The Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, naturally there should be five Governors. Xu Minglang spoke.

Sun Meng's heart suddenly felt turbulent.
