Mu Xiwen keenly noticed that after getting on the horse, Xu Wenlang's originally slightly frivolous aura suddenly changed, and the whole person was as sharp as a sword without an out-of-body body.

His eyes were sharp, and his eyes shone brightly.

With a sharp whistle, Xu Wenlang drew his bow and shot an arrow, aiming at a red lantern a hundred meters away.

At 100 meters from the starting point, only 10 red lanterns hang there. Only those who shoot the red lantern can play the second event of the competition, the Imperial Horse.

He is full of confidence in this arrow, and those living creatures are not a problem when hunting, but he can't shoot a dead thing?

But accidents often come so unexpectedly.

When Xu Wenlang's arrow was about to hit a red lantern, another arrow with a blue ribbon tied to its tail suddenly overtook his arrow and plunged into a red lantern.

With such force that it even shot the red lantern hanging on the tree to the ground.

His pupils dilated for a moment, and when he turned his head to look, he saw a student in a coarse cloth shirt riding a horse, speeding past his eyes.

At this time, his arrow, which had a red ribbon tied to its tail, finally plunged into the red lantern.

As soon as he gritted his teeth, he quickly drove the war horse under his crotch to chase after him.

"Wow-"

A series of earth-shattering exclamations erupted in the audience, and many onlookers even stood up excitedly.

"Shot! Shot! Oh my God, those two guys are so fast! ”

"It's almost the front and back feet, it's just a little bit worse, alas, it's a pity!"

"The third place finisher also caught up, and oh my God, this year's competition was really exciting! If I hadn't known that this was a gentleman's match, I would have thought I was watching a general's match. ”

There was still some cold wind blowing on his face in March, Xu Wenlang looked at the person in front of him who was always half a horse's body faster, and his eyes shot out of amazement.

However, he won't throw in the towel so easily!

The horse leaped and crossed the 300-meter cordon. Then it was time to mount the shooting, which was to shoot the strips of cloth tied under the claws of the birds in the sky on the moving horses.

A servant opened the cage, and more than 20 unknown birds fluttered their wings and soared into the sky.

Their paws are tied with strips of colorful cloth, and the sky is decorated with these birds.

Xu Wenlang raised his head and held an arrow, his eyes moving with the birds.

The difference in difficulty between simply shooting a bird and shooting a strip of cloth on a bird's claws without hurting the bird is not half a star.

The action of raising his head and raising the arrow lasted for too long, and Xu Wenlang felt that his neck and eyes were sore.

He couldn't help but blink.

At the moment when he closed his eyes, a sound of breaking wind sounded in his ears.

He hurriedly opened his eyes, and saw a bird falling straight to the ground, its claws sticking into the strip of cloth with the familiar arrow tied to its tail with a blue ribbon tied to its tail.

！

The cold wind blew on Xu Wenlang's face, making him feel like a slap in the face.

He pushed his cheeks up, only to feel a sore tooth.

At this moment, the little bird he fancied suddenly turned around in mid-air, and he quickly withdrew his gaze, and as soon as his fingers loosened, the bow and arrow flew away with the cold wind.

The bird was carried down by the strength of the bow and arrow, but instead of looking at his booty, he turned his head to look at the man beside him.

It was a young man in his twenties, with thick eyebrows, dark skin, and a muscular build, who looked more like a soldier who had strayed into the country than a literati.

He was smiling happily at this time, and the sun was dazzling white in the sunlight. Seeing that Xu Wenlang was looking at himself, he even turned his head and waved his hand, grinning with an unsuspecting smile.

A stupid big ......

Xu Wenlang proudly turned his head and drove the horse away from the competition venue.

Back at Zhiru Academy, those students who didn't know his details all slapped his chest excitedly.

"Brother Xu, good job! You've won second place in the Mounted Archery category! Oh my God, you must know that in previous years, our academy had directly abstained from riding. ”

Xu Wenlang laughed twice, turned his head to look at Wei Ziyin and the others, they really bent the corners of their mouths, and they were all holding back their laughter.

"I'm going to be slapped in the face for talking big." Xu Guangxuan's cynicism came from the audience behind him, and he looked over with his head downcast.

"Third uncle, I was wrong. But that kid doesn't know where he came from, and even the saint praised me for my exquisite archery. ”

Xu Wenlang's tone was obviously a little unconvinced.

"Heh, just your little fist embroidered legs." Xu Guangxuan mocked unceremoniously, "I just inquired, that student's name is Zhuo Huaiyuan, and he is from Chenzhou. The terrain of that place is steep, and there are many strange mountains and mountains.

Most of the local people are first-class good hunters, and horseback archery is not a problem at all. You practice riding and archery just for fun, and others are just for survival, can the effect be the same? ”

Xu Wenlang nodded like a teacher, looked at Xu Guangxuan with starry eyes, and said, "Third Uncle, you are really well-informed." ”

"Go, go, the game is over, Lord Zhang wants to announce the ranking, you go over quickly."

"Mounted archery, 10th place...... Fourth place: Tai'an Honghui Academy...... second place: Xu Wenlang of Zhiru Academy in Tai'an Prefecture; The winner of the list, Zhuo Huaiyuan of Chenzhou Dingbo Academy. ”

Xu Wenlang took a special look, and before the game, he shouted to bet with him that person, but he didn't even enter the top ten at all.

Xu Wenlang: "......"

Is there anyone more arrogant than him? He instantly felt that his face didn't hurt so much.

After announcing the ranking, he did not go back to accept the compliments of everyone in the academy, but made a special trip to find the person who bet with him.

The man's eyes dodged, and he kept avoiding it with a weak heart.

Xu Wenlang didn't bother to hide from him, and directly grabbed the other party's collar.

The man's face was flushed, full of anger from the humiliation.

"Tsk, what are you doing with that expression? Willing to gamble and lose, you know? ”

The man muttered for a long time with his mouth half-open, and finally uttered something like a mosquito.

"Grandpa."

"Huh." Xu Wenlang responded very shyly, "But I don't have an unscrupulous descendant like you, get out." Don't be cheap in the future, you're lucky to meet me this time. ”

After saying this, as soon as he lowered his head, he saw Mu Xiwen in the audience outside the venue, the other party raised his eyebrows and gave him a thumbs up, and his raised head couldn't help but rise a few points.

Half an hour later, the points of all the academies were counted, and Zhang Ziyan stood on the high platform and began to read out the results.

"The 75th Gentlemen's Competition, the winner is the leader, Tai'an Mansion Zhiru Academy! ranked second, Tai'an Honghui Academy; Ranked third, Huizhou Qinghe Academy ......"

The students of the Zhiru Academy couldn't hear it clearly, and the moment they heard that the Zhiru Academy had won the top spot, all of them went crazy with joy.
