Chapter Twenty-Five: Heads-up
After the three arrows were shot, the level had been judged, and Xiaobai had the chance to win, he looked at Wu Xi, as if he was showing off. But Fu didn't want to give up, he lowered his head, trying to calm down his emotions and prepare for the next arrow, after all, there were still two chances for the arrow.
The exclamation calmed down slightly, the breeze did not stop, and Xiaobai heard the opportunity.
Whoosh, whoosh, the two arrows shot out almost at the same time, and before everyone could react, two more flying arrows were squeezed into the central hole of the jade ring. Xiaobai didn't give Fu any chance to wait for the wind to stop. Xiao Bai knows that at the most critical moment, it is most refreshing to hit the enemy, and these two arrows fired together hit the jade ring hole and Fu's arrogant mind.
Su Gong saw that Xiao Bai's archery skills, which were only ten years old, were so fierce that even the head of archery in the army was not as fierce as this.
Then he asked the ministers present: "Who can match the dog's archery skills?"
The ministers praised again and again: no one can match.
Then he turned to the envoys of various countries in Dongsheng and asked, "Is the dog's archery skill acceptable?"
The envoys all understood that the praise of everyone was far from meeting Su Gong's expectations, even if there were archery skills far better than Xiaobai in the country, they all praised: Gongzi Xiaobai is unparalleled in the world!
Su Gong raised his wine glass and turned to Ran, who was sitting not far from him, and said, "The little white archery technique depends on Mr. Ran's teachings!" Let's have a booze.
Ran witnessed Xiaobai's arrogance in firing two volleys, and knew the intention of beating Fu, and was thinking about how to educate Xiaobai and make him more restrained. was toasted by Su Gong.
"Childe was born in the daytime, and I just opened my bow."
"Haha, sir, modest." Su Gong laughed when he heard Ran Yan, and the smile must have been a compliment for Xiao Bai's endowment.
The little official of Honglu Temple shouted: "Gongzi Xiaobai hit all two arrows, a total of four. ”
Even if it is a double shot, the total number is less than four. Fu was interested, and immediately loosened the string and put away the bow, but he did not have the slightest admiration for Xiaobai's archery skills in his heart, but it was full of humiliation from Xiaobai's idea of shooting two arrows in a row, completely dispelling his idea of winning by luck.
On the second day, the autumn festival is also the last day of the autumn festival, and the princes have to exchange the largest number of prey for the reward of Su Gong. The princes led their retinues, each with his hunting skills, or with a bow and arrow, or with a falcon and a hound, or with a horse on a rampage, or in a silent ambush. In the early years, the field was particularly small this year, and the sons and brothers ran around to hunt more prey, far beyond the autumn field.
Xiaobai has won the jade bi since he defeated Gongzi yesterday, and he has no interest in today's reward, so he only takes Wu Ji to ride around at will.
"Senior Brother Wu, are the last two arrows yesterday beautiful?" Xiaobai is asking, knowing that he wants to praise.
"Pretty is pretty, but too arrogant. Beware of revenge. Wu regretted that he didn't want to praise Xiaobai anymore, because it was estimated that Xiaobai was tired of listening to yesterday's praise.
"Well, I'm also worried, not because I'm afraid that I won't be able to beat it, but because I'm afraid of the whip in the temple." Xiaobai laughed.
Behind Xiaobai, a small official has been sneaking around, following closely from afar. Xiaobai and Wu regret had already found out and did not expose it, but just wanted to see what this little official was going to do.
"I've been having a tail that can't be shaken off this morning, Childe, do you think I'm going to deal with him? If you go any further, you may not find your way back. "I don't regret that I can't see any other son's banner when I look around, and there are mountains and deep valleys in front of me.
"Don't worry, you and I will rest here, wait and see." Xiaobai said and got down sideways, and lay down simply.
The grass that had not yet dried up completely in autumn lay down dry and soft, no worse than the tent floor.
"Alas, it's comfortable, senior brother will also come and lie down." Xiaobai patted the grass and said. Yesterday's humiliating victory made Xiaobai feel a lot more comfortable, people are in a good mood, they can see anything, even if they are lying in the gravel pile, they feel comfortable.
Wu Cheng also dismounted sideways, tried the grass with his hand and reluctantly sat down, and the two chatted nonsense.
"Senior brother, how about being my bodyguard when you grow up? There is a special sense of security with my brother. Xiaobai said that this is his idea for a long time, and he has not been embarrassed to say it, so he will talk about it casually today.
Wu Zhen was straightforward, and Hao said facelessly: "My dream is to become a ranger, fight grievances, punish evil and eliminate the strong." So, don't think about me. ”
"Ranger? I want to too, but I can't help myself with this identity. My dream is to be able to have enough strength to marry a beautiful lady, have a bunch of babies, and protect them from being bullied. Xiaobai closed his eyes and said seriously.
"You're a childe, that's what kind of dream is this?" Wu Zhen only knows the rich life of the prince's family, and he doesn't know the most poisonous prince's family.
"You don't understand. Hey, I really want to lie on the grass and sleep beautifully. Xiaobai closed his eyes and breathed deeply in the mountain air.
"Sleep, I'll stare at the tail." Wu said regretfully.
"Hey, whatever, it's time to come. Just don't think about it. Xiaobai said softly.
Wu regretted that he was afraid of disturbing Xiaobai's rest, so he didn't make a sound. But it didn't take long for a group of people to rush towards it.
"There's a group of men running towards us." Sitting on the grass, Wu regret said.
"I don't know which boy is chasing the rabbit, don't bother me, let me sleep." Xiaobai muttered softly, as if he was about to fall asleep.
"Hey, hey, you better wake up, I can see clearly, it's just here, it's violent, it's not like chasing prey, but it's coming at us." Wu Zhen said again.
At this time, Xiao Bai, who was lying on the ground, also heard the sound of hurried horses' hooves, quickly sat up, looked in the direction of Wu Shao's finger, and saw Fu leading seven or eight people, with a fierce face, running towards him.
"It's not good!" Xiaobai said to himself.
"If you don't avoid it, there are many of them, and we may suffer a loss in the fight." Wu Zhen reminded.
"Afraid of what? Who will fight who has not yet been decided. Xiaobai got up and looked at Fu and his entourage who were getting closer and closer.
They stopped their horses about ten meters away from Xiaobai.
In the entourage, the fourth son of the old Tingwei family shouted: "Xiaobai, Gongzifu deliberately let you yesterday, but you insulted Gongzifu rampantly, and today I will teach you a lesson for this brotherless concubine." ”
How could Xiaobai be so insulted, and immediately scolded: "You wait for the lackeys, how can you deserve me to clean up." This matter is limited to me and Fu, if anyone interferes, we will see you again in the future. ”
The entourage is only a teenager, five years ago, Xiaobai punched the rumors of Sun Gonggong to death echoed from time to time, there was already a shadow in his heart, listening to Xiaobai say that he would be beaten once, everyone couldn't help but tremble, just looked left and right, waiting for the idea.
Gongzifu didn't speak, probably because he didn't know how to start, or he was frightened by Xiaobai's words, after all, Xiaobai's prestige yesterday was still there, and he pulled a group of little brothers to come, just to let them cheer for themselves.
The fourth son of the old Tingwei family was determined to provoke Ding Gongzi Fu again, but when he saw the cowardice on the faces of the other sons, he also retreated.
Fu, helpless, had to take a deep breath, pretended to be calm, and said to Xiaobai: "Yesterday, the third brother's archery skills were fierce, and the eldest brother was willing to bow down, but he had a lot of luck in archery, and today I want to compare my real strength with the third brother." ”
"Big brother, I promised yesterday, but the third brother doesn't understand what real strength is?"
"Martial arts."
Fu and Xiaobai are the same teacher and Ran, the two have many competitions, although Xiaobai is slightly stronger than Fu in the understanding of martial arts, Fu Duo has the upper hand because of his stronger body, and he can beat Xiaobai not because of "art", but because of the difference in height and strength, after all, he is fifteen years old, and Xiaobai is only ten years old. So I want to save face with martial arts.
"Just that guy, if you only fight hard, it's not easy for you to win him, why don't we run?" Wu regret whispered to Xiaobai.
"No need to run, I have a way." Xiaobai whispered.
"You often lose to him, even to the point of wiping tears, and this time you are so sure?"
"I really couldn't beat it before, and then I let Fu."
"Okay, senior brother believes in you."
Seeing the two whispering quietly, afraid that they would have some bad ideas, he urged and shouted: "Is it better than that?" If you don't compare, you will admit defeat. ”
In fact, Fu prefers to make Xiaobai succumb through the strength of the crowd, and he doesn't want to really fight, after all, he is not completely sure of winning Xiaobai, if he loses, it is estimated that these sworn friends will also defect.
"Big brother, please dismount." Xiaobai saluted with his head held high.
Fu hesitated, but pretended to be and said, "Third brother, can you think about it?" It's better to admit defeat directly, so as to save the pain of flesh and skin. ”
"Hey, it's so grinding, if the eldest brother is afraid, then forget it, I'm not sorry for yesterday's arrogance, you can save some face, and you have to be the right one to be your eldest son." Xiaobai knew that although Gongzi Fu obtained resources that other sons could not compare with because of his status as the eldest son, he was most afraid of being talked about in the name of his eldest son, and he thought that what he had obtained was all based on his strength.
"You ......, you don't know what you can do." Fu was enraged, jumped off the horse, put on a stance, and pounced on Xiaobai without any rules and referees.
"Big brother, don't worry, there is always a rule." Xiaobai also put on a posture, but stopped.
"What rules do you want, fight until you beg for mercy." He rushed with his fists struck.
"Okay, listen to big brother." Xiaobai spoke, dodged his fist, did not continue the move, just dodged, he had already made up his mind, if he wanted to win, the first priority was to never let him catch himself.
He naturally understands that he doesn't have the upper hand except for strength, and if he can catch Xiaobai, this competition will be considered a win. After a few moves, he failed to do so, and Xiaobai dodged back and forth, and he was also a little tired. The two sons stopped tossing and stared at each other for an opportunity to defeat the enemy.
As soon as this battle was provoked, he preferred to fight quickly, after all, after a long time of entanglement, his physical strength was exhausted, and his advantage was gone. So he is more eager than Xiaobai. So he found what he thought was an opportunity and pounced on Xiaobai.
Fu pounced like a hungry tiger, and also gave Xiaobai a chance, he put on a posture, and had no intention of dodging, which allowed Fu to find a chance to strike a fatal blow, he used all the strength he had left, threw his real body, and threw it at Xiaobai.
