Chapter 85: The Two Strong
The shooting salute was held while eating, and the participants were not only nobles, but also scholars and countrymen, and they were all eager to try it.
The first is to perform archery, which is to see if everyone's archery movements are fancy enough. Several big targets have been erected in the school field, and the participants can compete in the field, and if they shoot well, they will also be rewarded by the king.
Because it is an archery performance, the targets made of wooden planks are very large, and there is no bull's-eye, and the targets are painted with exaggerated beast patterns, so you can just shoot the beast.
Performing archery is not based on shooting accurately, but to see if the shooter can make people shine or laugh, but if there is no certain foundation, it will definitely be laughing and generous.
Yun Yao found out that the third son of the Mu family also participated in the performance, and thought that he was not afraid of wasting his physical strength. The third son of the Mu family, who was holding a light wooden bow, performed a backhand bow behind his back, which was amazing.
"Good shooting, I'll have to have a good competition with him later, teacher, how do you say my shooting skills compare?" On the high platform, Gongsun Chief danced, and he couldn't wait to show his strength.
The plain-clothed man beside Gongsun Chief said: "I am the best at Yili, and I don't know much about archery, but Gongsun has the ambition of Bosai, as long as he goes all out, it is God's will to win or lose." ”
"The teacher taught me." Chief Gongsun replied that even so, he still wanted to win. He observed and found that among the many shooters, only the third son of the Mu family had good strength, and of course, there may be shooters who did not participate in the performance competition: "I heard that the young daughter of the Zhu family is also quite good at shooting, I don't know if she has participated in the shooting salute, if she does, I want to see if she is as powerful as rumored." ”
"If she comes, she will indeed be a stronger opponent than the three sons of the Mu family. This woman was defeated in May, and the whole country knew that the three sons of the Mu family were all defeated by her. The man said.
"It's better to come, I'm going to compete with her too."
In the first round of archery, the three sons of the Mu family, who opened the bow behind their backs, were unanimously affirmed by everyone and were rewarded with ten pieces of cloth.
"Next, there will be a fixed-point archery competition, and all the archers please come forward."
As soon as Yun Yao heard that the second round had begun, he immediately took the bow and went to the court.
Gongsun Chief saw Yun Yao at a glance, both eyes widened, how could he have seen such a fair-skinned and beautiful girl in the palace? When I landed, I was yearning.,I can't wait to stay with a beautiful girl right away.,Private for life.。
"Is this Zhu Nu?" The nobles and doctors also whispered, and they all expressed their curiosity about the famous Zhu Nu.
"Zhu Nu? Mo is not the daughter of the Zhu family on the north bank of the Zhu River? "The acting monarch also remembers his savior.
"It's this woman."
Gongsun's teacher was also stunned when he saw Zhu Nu, and it took a while to remember that he had seen this girl, and it was this Zhu Nu who crossed the Zhu River at the beginning of the year. I planned to have a long talk with her when I went back, but I didn't want to be left in the national capital to serve as Gongsun's teacher, but I forgot the agreement at that time. It turns out that she is the Zhu girl who is crazy in the national capital, she does have a unique temperament and is different, and the Gongsun chief is already a outstanding talent, and this woman is not left behind.
The third son of the Mu family had just been rewarded, and his momentum was like a rainbow, and seeing that Yun Yao had no stage fright, he couldn't help but sneer: "Your insult to the Mu family will be repaid today." In the poem, the Mu family has become an evil force that supports the character of the Zhu family, but they have been ridiculed by their whole family for half a year, and they must get it back with interest today.
"It was the Mu family who was unreasonable first, and then challenged the baron with the earl. It is clear and clear, and the whole country knows it by seeking truth from facts. You don't want to spew blood, I have never wronged or smeared your Mu family, I just talk about the facts and reason, if I make a mistake, I have to admit that I have been beaten and stand firm, this is the Zhou Festival. "Yun Yao really feels wronged, how could she meet such a shameless guy.
"Hmph, when I defeat you with archery, I will let the people of the country know that you are just a straw bag for nothing." After speaking, he stopped talking to Yun Yao.
Since it is a superb test shooting technique, it is natural that the big target can no longer be used, and all of them are replaced by small targets, and the distance is pulled down from thirty steps to fifty steps.
"Three arrows per person, and the one who hits the bull's-eye the most wins." The rules are simple, take turns shooting, the chance of three arrows, the more arrows that hit the bull's-eye, the better.
"We'll see." Of course, the three sons of the Mu family did not let it, and the first one appeared on the stage, and the three arrows were quickly shot, all of which hit the bull's-eye, causing thunderous applause.
The next few shooters did not have such good results, and when it was Gongsun Chief's turn, he was a little absent-minded, obviously he had fallen for the beauty trick, and his mind was not on archery for a long time. He is one year older than Yun Yao, which is the age when love first opens and it is easy to fall in love.
Of the three arrows, only one hit the bull's-eye.
The three sons of the Mu family are even more proud, even Gongsun's results are not as good as their own, it seems that they are in the first place, and Zhu Nu is definitely not their opponent.
Yun Yao glanced at his neighbor, and then said lightly: "Send the target a hundred steps away." ”
For a moment, the Chinese people next to him were dumbfounded: "I didn't hear clearly what you said." ”
"I mean, fifty steps is too easy, it doesn't reflect the merits of archery, and it's troublesome to send the target a hundred paces away." Yun Yao finished word by word, clearly.
Still didn't react, but fortunately, Chief Gongsun always paid attention to Yunyao, and was courteous as soon as possible, and instructed the countrymen: "Still don't do what she said?" Get the target a hundred paces away. He was very excited, and felt that Yun Yao was really too stylish and so endearing.
The audience on the high platform was already strange when they saw Yun Yao not shooting, and when they saw the target person put the target at a position of 100 steps, they exchanged their heads and ears. The acting monarch was also curious about what the situation was, and when the people below reported it, he realized that it was Yun Yao who asked for it: "Is it really Zhu Nu's own request?" ”
"Yes, she said fifty steps is too easy, so shoot a hundred steps."
The acting monarch doesn't know what to say, Zhu Nu is more proud than her son, but she wants to see if she really has the ability: "Zhu Nu is good at shooting, and she is in the ridge, it seems that there is a good show to watch today." ”
"You are dishonoring yourself." The third son of the Mu family said viciously: "Look at how you end." ”
Yun Yao took a deep breath, the Divine Craftsman Bow was like an arm extended, adjusting his breathing, using his eyesight, the target a hundred steps away seemed to be close in front of him, shooting three arrows in a row, and the arrows were in the bull's-eye.
There was a dead silence, and everyone didn't react, forgetting to cheer.
The expression of the third son of the Mu family instantly froze on his face, which was more disgusting than eating flies, but he quickly came back to his senses and shouted, "I will also shoot a hundred paces away." He will not admit defeat: "You can do it, I can do it." ”
The reaction of the three sons of the Mu family made the audience who didn't know the truth realize that the contradiction between the Mu family and the Zhu family was not small, and it seemed that Mu Yulong was true nine times out of ten, and the Mu family wanted to use the shooting salute to get back to the field.
Yun Yao looked at the other party with a smile and didn't speak, just used a cheap smile to increase the psychological pressure on the other party, as if telling the opponent that if he missed, he would laugh unscrupulously.
There is indeed pressure, but the three sons of the Mu family are very talented, and they can be regarded as a rare excellent shooter in Lu Guozhong. So he has to go all out, he will never let Yun Yao succeed.
Bang, the first arrow hit the bull's-eye. The confidence of the three sons was greatly increased.
The second arrow was hit again, and the third son was already excited, he must defeat Yun Yao and gamble on the glory of the Mu family. At this time, the people of the country were already cheering, because the game was so exciting, and there was a double-strength showdown, which was really a feast for the eyes. 111
