Chapter 442: Practicing Archery

"Your Majesty, do you want to send General An? Isn't that a bit unfair to us? Jiang Ye began to pick thorns again.

He pointed to himself, "Can the general also participate?" Hey, it's just a little itchy, any of you, bring me a bow. ”

At this time, An Yuming had already stood on the sidelines, but when he heard Jiang Ye's words, he paused slightly-

This competition is to win no matter what, but what I am best at is not archery. Compared with Jiang Ye......

"What's the matter, one of the palaces can beat them." An Guifei muttered and ate apples, obviously quite disgusted with Jiang Ye's energy.

Well, Jiang Ye is indeed quite underwhelmed. Xia Qingyang also agreed.

Suddenly, Xia Qingyang noticed that Jiang Ye's gaze paused, and then he strode towards the seat of the emperor's relatives.

Concubine An was stunned and muttered, should he hear it.

- Fortunately, Jiang Ye didn't come for them.

He strode over, met everyone's surprised eyes, and stopped in front of Ren Yi with a calm face: "You are Ren Yi?" The eldest princess of Dachun Kingdom? ”

Ren Yi glanced at him, didn't get up, only nodded as a salute: "General Jiang." ”

Jiang Ye carefully looked at Ren Yi's face, and finally frowned, as if confirming something, "If it's really you, you really make it easy for General Ben to find." ”

"The general knows me?"

Jiang Ye was stunned: "You don't remember me?" ”

Ren Yi frowned at him slightly, and didn't speak for a long time.

Jiang Ye was numb. He realized that Ren Yi really didn't remember him as a person.

"It's okay, you may not remember me, but you should remember the battle in Changxingpo twelve years ago. The general you were fighting against at that time was me. ”

Yes, the only two failures in his Jiang Ye's life were twelve years ago.

Once it was planted in the hands of Xiao Han, who was not a deputy commander at the time.

Another time, it was planted here by Ren Yi, who was a woman.

The two successive failures almost wiped out Jiang Ye's arrogant spirit.

He had no idea that he would lose to a woman.

I remember that at that time, he watched Ren Yi spear and horse, leading the army into the team he led, and finally forced him to abandon his armor, and only ran out with two deputies who fought for their lives, and the remaining soldiers were all wiped out.

He, Jiang Ye, has never fought such a humiliating defeat!

Jiang Ye thought that by reminding Ren Yi like this, Ren Yi would be able to remember.

Unexpectedly, Ren Yi still shook his head: "I don't remember." I've fought too many battles in my life, and I don't remember what I won. ”

Jiang Ye: "......"

Xia Qingyang was listening with her ears pricked up, and when she heard Ren Yi's answer, she couldn't hold back and almost laughed.

Other officials are inevitably sweating for Ren Yi's toughness, of course, it sounds really cool.

Jiang Ye stood in front of Ren Yi for a long time, as if he wanted to keep this face firmly in his heart: "Your Majesty, in the next competition, I want to learn from the eldest princess, is it okay?" ”

A question, but Jiang Ye said it with irrefutable certainty.

Ren Fu wanted to insist on letting An Yuming play, but who expected An Yuming to give up, saying that the eldest princess had excellent archery skills, so he watched and learned.

Ren Fu: "...... Then prepare a bow for the eldest princess. ”

Hearing this, Ren Yi wiped his hands, got up from his seat, and walked out.

When she passed by Xia Qingyang's side, she reached out slightly and put her hand on Xia Qingyang's shoulder, and said softly in a almost inaudible voice:

"Alright, stop laughing."

Xia Qingyang couldn't help laughing. She knew that Ren Yi must have remembered Jiang Ye. It's just that I want to be angry with him, so I deliberately pretend not to remember.

-

The content of this competition is to shoot a moving target -

Release the birds caught in advance, and Jiang Ye and Ren Yi will shoot arrows in turn, and finally compare the number of downed.

There are nine birds per person, and there is no limit to the number of arrows fired.

It's a very simple rule, but the difficulty is that this bird is very small, only the size of a child's palm, and flies extremely fast, and if you are an ordinary person, you are so far away that you can't even see the bird's flight trajectory.

Of course, Xia Qingyang and the three of them, as players, have the skill bonus of [Hundred Steps Through Yang], so they can see the trajectory clearly.

But it's one thing to see clearly, it's another to be able to hit with an arrow.

As soon as they got on the field, Jiang Ye and Ren Yi each shot three arrows to warm up.

After the competition began, it was Jiang Ye who took the lead.

His posture of pulling the bow and shooting arrows is extremely elegant and good-looking, and the moment the bow is full, the aura and momentum of the whole person are completely different from before.

But it was only a dozen seconds.

Yes, in more than ten seconds, Jiang Ye shot nine arrows in a row, eight of which hit.

That is, only one was released.

With the audience stunned and silent, Jiang Ye casually put the bow aside and raised his eyebrows at Ren Yi.

Ren Yi didn't even look at him, passed by him, stood on the point, and drew his bow.

Jiang Ye stopped and looked back at Ren Yi's calm and focused side face, thinking that he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Let it go!" At this time, everyone watched with bated breath.

However, the vast majority of people can only see the birds as they are just released.

Before they could react, they heard a series of arrows swishing through the air.

The next moment, it seemed that the birds that had flown up and fell down.

How many shots? Seems like a lot?

After a brief silence, the soldier in charge of counting the birds reported back: "Ten! Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess shot ten birds! ”

The crowd was in an uproar. How about ten? Isn't there only nine per person?

"The eldest princess is really good at archery. One arrow pierces two birds, even in my Tuochuan military camp, no one dares to say that they can do this. ”

Before the soldiers who counted the birds could explain, Jiang Ye had already taken the first step to explain the reason.

As an opponent, Jiang Ye naturally sees more attentively and clearly than anyone else.

Sure enough, the soldier who counted the birds picked up one of the arrows, and there were two birds on it.

"One of them was the one I missed. I lost. Surprisingly, Jiang Ye admitted defeat very happily, as if he was obsessed with competing with Ren Yi just now, not wanting to take revenge, but just wanting to "learn from each other".

Ren Yi nodded at him, then saluted Ren Fu in the upper position before returning to his seat.

In any case, Ren Yi has won back face for Da Chunguo this time, and of course Ren Fu will reward her greatly.

But I don't know what kind of careful thinking it was, what Ren Fu rewarded Ren Yi with was some jewelry, brocade and silk.

It is clear that during the reign of the first emperor, the rewards Ren Yi received were either good horses or good weapons, and in comparison with the two, Ren Fu's little caution did not need to be explained.

-

This is the end of the first day of the feast.

And here, when Xia Qingyang returned to his bedroom, he found a team of eunuchs standing in the court.

It turned out that it was Ren Yi who asked these eunuchs to send the royal rewards directly to Xia Qingyang, Concubine An and Empress Yin.

- According to the gossip between Mingzhu and these little eunuchs, Ren Yi's original words were "beautiful things should be given to beauties".
