Chapter 18 Winning the Contest
On the way home, he kept thinking about Qinqing's appearance, and this was the first time he had the idea of chasing a girl.
Maybe it's because everything is on track, as long as it goes step by step, and now the value is skyrocketing, although there are beauties like Shu'er and Tingfang around him, but he has become dissatisfied, he wants to pursue more beauties, it is "full of warm thoughts**".
Xiang Shaolong returned home and told Wu Yingyuan about King Qin's resolution, and he was still very confident in this competition.
Archery should be slightly inferior to itself, but with their own hard practice, it should be about the same; Horse competition, full of confidence; Immediately, his kung fu himself is not as good as Wang Qian. However, in this era, there are no saddles and stools, and when you press the saddle and stool of your own design during the competition, you can free your hands, and your combat effectiveness will inevitably increase greatly, and you should be able to win.
The only regret is that the Fang Tian painting halberd that he is building has not been done well, otherwise it would be more brilliant. As long as he remembered the appearance of his sweaty BMW under his crotch holding Fang Tian's halberd, he couldn't help but be excited.
In the blink of an eye, it was the day of the competition. The characters with heads and faces in Xianyang City all came to the school field, wanting to see the appearance of the future prince and concubine.
Lu Buwei said to Xiang Shaolong: "How are you preparing?" β
Xiang Shaolong said: "Do your best." β
The stands where Yangquanjun and the military were located were far away from LΓΌ Buwei's stands, lined up on both sides of the main stands, and the King of Qin sat in the main stands surrounded by members of the royal family.
The waiter shouted: "Where is Xiang Shaolong?" β
Xiang Shaolong took off his robe, wore a white samurai uniform, put on white combat boots, carried the sun-shooting bow bought by Wu Yingyuan at a high price, and held the snow drinking madness knife in his hand, and came to the center of the school with his head held high.
The waiter shouted again: "Where is Wang Qian?" β
In the distance, a fast horse, blowing in the wind, and the tall black horse was a handsome man in a black brocade robe, who was really like a tiger and a horse like a dragon.
Wang Jian came to the field and dismounted, and met the King of Qin with Xiang Shaolong.
King Qin just glanced at Wang Jian and felt that what Xiang Shaolong said was true, this Wang Jian was really outstanding. He is similar to Xiang Shaolong in height, with a strong physique, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and his skin looks fairer against the background of the black robe. High nose and deep eyes, eyes like electricity, long black hair, dancing with the wind.
The two are of the same height, the same physique, one black and one white, standing in the center of the school field, with a majestic and murderous atmosphere.
King Qin looked at the two of them and rejoiced, "This is my good son of Great Qin." β
King Qin first described the purpose of the competition, and then encouraged the two of them a few words.
The chamberlain opened his mouth to describe the way of the competition: "It is divided into three games, archery, horse competition, and horse competition." β
The target is 200 paces away, and each person has ten arrows, which is more accurate.
The two stood side by side, picking up their bows and arrows.
Wang Jian really has amazing archery skills, both fast and accurate, far above Lian Jin. After he finished shooting ten arrows, Xiang Shaolong shot five arrows.
Xiang Shaolong was not panicked, he knew that archery was his weakness, and he didn't hope to win this game, so he naturally wanted accuracy.
After the ten arrows are shot, the accuracy of the two is equal, according to the rules, it is a tie, but Wang Qian's rate of fire is twice that of Xiang Shaolong, and he will suffer a big loss according to the draw. But the rules are like this, it's just that they didn't make it clear before the competition.
But Wang Jian has a heroic temperament and is very confident in himself, and there are still two games, and he will win again, so he doesn't say much.
Just when the chamberlain was about to announce the result of the draw, Xiang Shaolong said loudly: "General Wang's archery skills are outstanding, and Xiang Shaolong is willing to bow down." β
He threw in the towel.
The scene was in an uproar.
Yangquan Jun's side was overjoyed, Lu Buwei secretly hated in his heart, and King Qin was more appreciative in his heart.
Wang Jian didn't expect Xiang Shaolong to admit defeat, turned his head to look at Xiang Shaolong, and saw Xiang Shaolong smiling, thumbs up, and admiration on his face. I thought to myself: "This young dragon is also a downright man. β
King Qin personally announced, the first scene: Wang Jian wins.
The second session begins.
Wang Jian pulled out his long sword and faced Xiang Shaolong.
Xiang Shaolong pulled out the Snow Drinking Crazy Knife and looked at Wang Qian.
Wang Jian found that the blade in Xiang Shaolong's hand was not an ordinary long sword, and he was even more cautious in his heart.
Xiang Shaolong had a long knife in his hand, full of confidence, and his knife technique was heavy, and Xiang Shaolong took the lead. Holding the knife in his right hand, he dragged the knife and ran to Wang Qian, slashing at Wang Jian from the bottom up. The swords collided, and both of them had numb arms, at least in terms of strength, the two were equal to each other.
Wang Jian stabbed with his sword, and Xiang Shaolong dodged and slashed diagonally. The two of you went back and forth and fought in one place.
Xiang Shaolong's sword is fierce, and Wang Jian's swordsmanship is not fancy, it is obviously a hundred battles swordsmanship, pursuing efficiency.
After more than 100 moves, the two were indistinguishable. Xiang Shaolong sighed secretly: "I underestimate the heroes of the world." β
Wang Qian's swordsmanship is even more successful. I thought that I had been preparing for many years, and with the benefit of the sword, I should be invincible in this era, although Wang Jian was a famous general in history, he could also win the battle. But I didn't expect that this Wang Jian is also talented and brave, I don't know how many such characters there are in the world.
At this time, Wang Jian also secretly admired Xiang Shaolong's martial arts in his heart, since he joined the army, he had never met a person equivalent to himself, and this battle was enjoyable.
The audience at the scene was fascinated and excited.
Both of them have a great physical exertion, and their bodies are one point, and they have a tacit understanding to recover their physical strength, waiting for the next attack.
Xiang Shaolong used his two-handed sword technique at this time. Strike the upper pose that specializes in attacks in Japanese kendo.
Wang Jian was taken aback when he saw him holding a knife in both hands, and had the intention to learn that he was holding a sword in both hands, but his sword handle was too short to be held with both hands, so he could only concentrate on Xiang Shaolong's knife.
At this time, strength is Xiang Shaolong's advantage, and the simplest slash is his magic weapon to win. Up and down slashing, oblique slashing, kneeling slashing, one knife is faster than the other, and the knife slashes Wang Qian's sword.
Wang Jian blocked more than 20 blows in a row, and finally the tiger's mouth cracked, and the long sword was knocked away. Xiang Shaolong did not pursue, and stood in place.
The two stopped.
The chamberlain announced, the second game: Xiang Shaolong won.
Wang Jian was slightly depressed in his heart, his idea was to win all three battles. He is determined to win the position of Taifu, only in this way can he display his ambitions, but he didn't expect to meet such a powerful opponent.
Xiang Shaolong said: "General Wang has an injury on his hand, so he won't compare it another day." β
King Qin cherished Wang Qian's martial arts, and asked gently, "General Wang, it's better to postpone the next one." β
Wang Jian is extremely brave, this little injury is not taken into account at all, and this is an injury suffered during a competition with Xiang Shaolong, because his skills are not as good as others, go back to recuperate and compare, he can't afford to lose that person. said: "King, Wang Jian can continue, there is no need to postpone." β
King Qin praised Wang Jian even more in his heart, and said, "Okay, just according to General Wang's wishes." β
The third game begins.
Wang Jian rode his war horse around the field and waited quietly for Xiang Shaolong.
Xiang Shaolong was sent a fiery red war horse on the sidelines, eight feet high, two feet long, there was no half a stray hair on the whole body, and the hooves of the bowl-sized horse were bent like hooks, really like a tiger on the hill and a dragon in the sea, he named this horse "Red Rabbit".
But this is not the most attractive to Wang Qian, what attracts Wang Jian the most is the high bridge saddle on horseback and the golden stirrup between the two ribs.
I saw Xiang Shaolong pull the saddle and ride up the stirrup, a stack of reins, and a stab of the horse's needles with both feet, the horse's four hooves boarded, and he also ran around the field. But this circle is different from Wang Qian, Xiang Shaolong only controls the war horse with his feet, and still holds a knife in both hands.
Wang Jian knew that he had also lost this game. You have to control the horse with one hand, and you can only fight with one hand. It's not that he can't ride himself, but Xiang Shaolong's tools are too advanced.
Wang Jian was disheartened, turned over and dismounted, bowed to King Qin, and said, "King, Wang Jian admits defeat." β
Everyone was taken aback, only the military general was thoughtful.
King Qin asked curiously, "Why did General Wang say this?" How can you admit defeat yet? It's better to win or lose after General Wang's injury is healed. He thought it was because of the injury on Wang Qian's hand that he conceded defeat.
Wang Jian said: "Just because Mr. Xiang designed the tool on horseback, its far-reaching significance is far greater than the competition for the position of Taifu. β
Xiang Shaolong said: "This battle is not because General Wang is not good at riding, but because I am just clever." β
King Qin groaned, and the veteran Wang Yi said: "King, I want to take a closer look at the things on Xiang Shaolong's horse." β
King Qin said: "Old general, it's okay to go." β
Wang Yi came to Xiang Shaolong's horse and observed it carefully, Xiang Shaolong said: "The old general might as well get on the horse and give it a try." β
When he let go of his hands and was naturally able to control the war horse, he was ecstatic, dismounted and came to King Qin's side, and said: "King, from now on, my cavalry of Daqin is invincible in the world!" β
King Qin was overjoyed and asked, "Why did the old general say this?" β
Wang Dao said: "It is not appropriate to talk about this here, and I will tell the king alone that Xiang Shaolong's invention is of great significance." β
King Qin said secretly: "What kind of invention still needs to be kept secret." β
I was also anxious to know about this in my heart, and said to Wang Qian: "General Wang is talented, and Shaolong also said that he is not a general martial arts, and today the widow announced: Xiang Shaolong and Wang Jian are serving as the crown prince and the prince at the same time. β
Wang Jianxi descended from the sky, and he had already given up, but he didn't expect the peak to turn around. The important ministers of the military are also very happy, after all, Xiang Shaolong has not been allowed to be beautiful, Wang Jian is an important representative of the military, and his ability to serve as the crown prince is also a victory for the military.
Only LΓΌ Buwei felt that he was getting more and more out of his control. I don't know what Xiang Shaolong has come up with, so that the military attaches so much importance to such an important matter, Xiang Shaolong actually doesn't go through himself, I'm afraid that the Wu family will not be so easy to control in the future.
The king of Qin summoned the military ministers Wang Di, Gong Qi (pΓ‘o, Tong Roe deer), Xu Xian, as well as Xiang Shaolong and Wang Jian to the palace to meet him, and he wanted to learn more about what was going on.
In a side hall, Wang Yi first introduced the far-reaching influence of the saddle and stirrup on the cavalry operations in the future, pointing out that this is an epoch-making invention in the history of war, and with the war knife in Xiang Shaolong's hand, the power of the cavalry in the future has been immeasurable.
