Chapter Seventy-Six: Blue Seven

At the opening ceremony of the Sword Boy Competition, what did the emperor say when he came to preside over the opening ceremony Nie Lin didn't pay attention, since he saw the emperor for the first time, Nie Lin was already guessing in his heart that this must be a puppet emperor.

In his previous life, his prince friend, who was outstanding in all aspects of his surname and ability, had been made a prince before he left, but after he left, he didn't know what happened later, and he became the cowardly and incompetent younger brother of the prince to inherit the throne.

Nie Lin believes that wise-eyed people and politicians will definitely be able to see through some of the things behind these things.

Yang Yuxiao participated in the competition of policy essays in the Wenhui Pavilion, which is similar to the exam, and requires a quiet environment to meditate and write, without interference, so Nie Lin and Lu Xueyan can't go to the scene to watch, so they can only go back to the temporary rest place to wait for the results of the competition.

In the room, Liu Yichen and Yang Yufeng were also sitting, Liu Yichen's eyes would look at Lu Xueyan from time to time, but he didn't know what to say, he seemed a little restrained, but Yang Yufeng's eyes would fall on Nie Lin, who was sitting quietly and contemplating his breath, like an old monk, thoughtfully.

As for Nie Lin's information, as the eldest grandson of the head of the Yang family, he knew it for a long time, and when he saw it for the first time today, he felt his restrained edge, and he had an intuition in his heart that told him that the kendo competition of the Sword Boy Competition would definitely become Nie Lin's performance alone.

He can only imagine it as a performance, because he can deeply feel that the temperament that Nie Lin inadvertently shows is far from being comparable to ordinary people, he is like a fog, which makes people uncover a layer, but there is a deeper layer inside, which makes people unable to see through. I can't guess, at least Yang Yufeng feels that the gap between himself and him cannot be measured by age or time, he has not really opened his edge, but the other party is already restrained in his edge, and when his edge blooms, he will definitely be a blockbuster and break the earth.

Just when Yang Yufeng quietly looked at Nie Lin in his thoughts, at this time Nie Lin suddenly opened his eyes, Yang Yufeng immediately turned his face, his face was a little hot, and he smiled at him lightly with some embarrassment.

Nie Lin just nodded to him lightly and didn't speak, when he heard someone knocking on the door outside.

Yang Yufeng immediately stood up, and after opening the door, he saw that it was a royal guard, he came in with a note and looked at everyone, then walked up to Nie Lin and said: "This is sent by the little prince to his subordinates, please take a look at it!"

After Nie Lin took the note, the guard immediately went out, and he opened the note to look at it, but his brows furrowed slightly, and said, "Second place?"

Lu Xueyan walked over, took a look at the note, frowned slightly, and said: "I have read the draft of the strategy written by the junior brother, even if the topic of His Majesty the Emperor is a bit biased this time, but the junior brother should be able to deal with it calmly, could it be that something has happened here, who is this first named Zhu Qirui?"

Yang Yufeng also frowned and said: "I know Cousin Yuxiao's talent, and this time, several judges have also been greeted by my grandfather, and they actually got second, which is really a bit surprising!"

Liu Yichen muttered: "Zhu Qirui, I have never heard of this person in the capital, since we have been in contact in many ways before, we actually let Yu Xiao get second, presumably it is either amazing, or he has a very strong background and has something to do with the royal family!"

Lu Xueyan said: "There are only two games in this competition, since the rankings have come out, then it means that it has ended, if the first item of this competition is counted, we can only score two points at most, and the start is unfavorable!"

At this time, there was another knock on the door outside, and after Yang Yufeng went to open the door again, a ceremonial officer walked in and said, "The next event will be the shooting competition, please prepare the list of contestants and follow me to the lottery grouping!"

The list had already been prepared, and after everyone got up, they followed Nie Lin to the arena, because the shooting was a game with a viewing surname, so there was no restriction on the audience entering the venue to watch.

After Nie Lin followed the ceremonial officer to a hall at the back of the venue, he saw that many people who participated in the archery competition were drawn lots and divided into groups, and some of them were still talking about each other when they went out, and after being reprimanded by the ceremonial officer, they hurriedly left for the venue.

"Hey, that guy actually participated in the archery competition, didn't Brother Tianke say that he participated in kendo?" After Nie Lin entered the lottery room, a young man who went out of the lottery and staggered with Nie Lin watched Nie Lin go in and thought thoughtfully.

After Nie Lin entered the lottery room, he saw a large closed box in the room, leaving only a hole in the middle to reach in, and there were two ceremonial officials next to him who were in charge of recording, and when he saw Nie Lin come in, he said, "ID card!"

After Nie Lin took out his identity card, he handed it to the ceremonial officer.

Seeing that the ceremonial officer took out an energy instrument that was somewhat similar to that in the Sword Pavilion, and after putting the identity card on the instrument, the ceremonial official read: "Nie Lin, the fifth level of the swordsman, from the Bazhou Tianlu Academy!"

Then, after another ceremonial officer had taken notes, the ceremonial officer said, "Go to that box and get a number out there!"

Nie Lin walked to the box, put his hand in, and took a sign made of wood casually, and when he came out, he saw the words 'Lan Qi' engraved on it, so he handed it to the ceremonial officer.

After the ceremonial officer took the sign and recorded it, he said to Nie Lin: "There are five groups of archery competition groups, red, yellow, white, green and blue, seven people in each group, you are blue seven, that is the blue group seven, after arriving at the venue, the blue flag in front of the stage is your competition venue, when the game begins, the referee will report the number according to the number, after hearing his own number, that is, enter the game, the top two in each group of the game group, and the other five combinations, the finals, before the end of the game, you must not leave the field, understand?"

Nie Lin nodded, and after the ceremonial officer had recorded it, he took the sign and walked straight into the arena towards a passage guarded by many guards on both sides.

When Nie Lin entered the arena from that passage, he found that the passages where the contestants walked were all isolated separately, and no idle people were allowed to approach, and after walking to the center of the venue, there were several forks there, and he saw a field with a blue flag not far away, so he walked through that fork.

However, before each competition venue, I saw a large number of spectators gathered around, and they were on the periphery, pulled by a spaced belt, guarded by guards, so that they could not get close to the contestants, and could only cheer and cheer at their own people from a distance.

After Lu Xueyan and Liu Yichen and others found out that Nie Lin came out, they also followed him to the arena on the periphery, and after Yang Yuxiao finished the game, he also came here, and Nie Lin saw from a distance that they were cheering for themselves with their fists, just nodding slightly.

After walking to the field of the blue group, I saw several tables in front of the venue, five middle-aged and elderly referees sitting in front of the table, and the arriving contestants were in the rest area of the venue, where there was also a ceremonial officer, and I saw that several contestants who arrived early were gathered around the ceremonial table, as if they were registering.

After Nie Lin came, he didn't come up immediately, and after the few people walked away, he walked over and handed over the sign for registration, but when the ceremonial officer registered, he raised his head and asked: "Today's competition of archery is more focused, as the saying goes, it is the right head, the rules of the game are five arrows per person, and they must be completed within five breaths according to the requirements, and the bows and arrows used in the competition are all unified, but the difference lies in the distance of the arrow target, which is divided into three grades, the first gear is fifty steps, and the second gear is one hundred steps. The third gear is one hundred and fifty steps, which is three skill points, and two impression points, a total of five points, and finally the total score determines the ranking of this group of competitions, do you know?"

Nie Lin said: "Are there any special circumstances?"

The ceremonial officer was stunned for a moment and said, "Of course, if you can complete the three rounds perfectly at the distance of the third gear, the adjudicator will consider adding points as appropriate and directly advance to the finals!"

Nie Lin said: "Then please register for me, I will choose the third gear for this game!"

The ceremonial officer glanced at Nie Lin a few times and said, "Kid, there is only one chance, if you make a mistake, you may not be able to miss the next game, you have to think about it carefully, everyone else chooses a safer schedule!"

"I've decided!" Nie Lin nodded.

Seeing his firm expression, the ceremonial officer made a note on the spot, so that the surrounding contestants began to look at Nie Lin with a strange gaze, and the audience outside couldn't hear what was being said, they just stared at him curiously.

Yang Yufeng, who was standing in front of him and watching, said to Liu Yichen: "I guess Nie Lin must have chosen the most difficult schedule!"

Liu Yichen nodded and said, "With Nie Lin's surname, most of them will do this, but if he chooses like this, he will not allow any mistakes, otherwise he can only get the score of the third game, and if the total score is calculated, he may be eliminated!"

Lu Xueyan next to him suddenly said with a firm expression: "I think he will definitely be able to advance to the finals, first of all, his confidence and courage are incomparable to others, and he has a three-point advantage in momentum, and psychologically, he is the last to play, which will cause psychological pressure on other opponents, so he will definitely win!"

Bite!

At this moment, a referee waited until all the names had been verified, and then rang a small bell next to him, making a crisp sound, signaling that the game had begun, and the spectators outside had also fallen silent.

At this time, the ceremonial officer stepped forward and said: "The rules of the game are clear before you register, the game will officially start now, and the procedure will be carried out according to your code number process, and the first game will start at the blue number below, and the gear will be fifty steps, start!"

After the judge rang the bell, the young man first stepped sideways, held the bow and squatted half-squat, and the posture was very elegant to take two arrows and put the bow, pull a full moon, and then shoot out, followed by three arrows in a row, the whole set of actions is very elegant, and the referees nodded again and again, but the audience's applause was not very intense.

At this time, the two guards took the arrow target back, and the four arrows all hit the red heart, only one arrow was slightly off, and after the referees saw it, they gave the score, and the ceremonial officer said loudly: "No. 1 has four points in this game, and No. 2 is ready!"

Immediately, the No. 2 boy stepped forward to draw a bow and shoot an arrow, and the completion was also very beautiful, but two arrows were a little off, and the referees only gave three points, and the No. 2 boy was discouraged and went off the field, and No. 3 played............
