The next day, Gao Zhong and Li Xiao'er formed a palace discussion about the martial arts competition in front of the palace, and in the afternoon, announcements were posted on the official manuscript board of this Qingxing City. Except for Lao Qian who knew these Xixia texts, no one knew, after Qian Jishen's explanation, I knew that this competition began three days later, in the Royal University Field, there were three competitions, one was mounted archery, one was a battle between the two sides, and one was a formation.

This battle was personally proposed by the emperor.

The referee of the game was King Chage of Jin to show justice.

This kind of competition has become the main conversation of the people in Qingxing City before and after dinner, and even the service staff in the post house also pointed at the high pet and the guards. But obviously, Li Xiao'er's name in this capital is too big, and almost no one is optimistic about Gao Chong, but only sympathy for Gao Chong. Sometimes people who know Li Xiao'er's temper are worried about the life of Gao Bao'er, and Li Xiao'er never gives the enemy a way to live.

Xinyi Fang, the largest gambling house in Western Xia, opened the odds of Gao Pet and Li Xiaoer's competition: Gao Pet won the odds of 1 to 8, the odds of winning all three games were 1 to 25, and the two wins of three games were 1 to 10, and the ratio of winning only one game reached a pitiful 1 to 2. Some other casinos also offer odds, but the odds are similar.

Qian Jichen came back and talked about these things, and these guards were so angry that they screamed, and it is not like this to damage people, and Gao Pet is a piece of tofu and there are more than this odds. Lao Qian smiled and didn't say anything, Lao Qian knew that if he hadn't invested a sum of money himself, this figure might be even more ugly.

Of course, Gao Chong's subordinates all know Gao Chong's ability, I heard that there are such high odds, although they are very angry about these people in Xixia who look down on Gao Chong, but they will not lose this opportunity to make money, and they also took out all the change on their bodies, so that the old money can be collected together for 8,000 yuan, and they all buy the 25 to 1 3 to 0.

Gao Chong's current cash is only 50,000 yuan, and the rest has not yet been cashed out in the warehouse in Xiping Mansion. Gao Zhong called Da Zhu and Zhao Yi in, and followed up by Deng Yu, the Deng family lady who has become a high favorite. Not to mention Gao Chong, Dazhu and Zhao Yi also knew what was going on with these two people.

"You two will have everything we have ready to buy it all for yourself tomorrow afternoon. The advantage now is that people don't know our strength, so the timing of entry should be grasped well, and it is estimated that the prince and Ren Cong will also buy us to win, so that although it will affect the odds, we are very likely to follow up if we go in again. ”

The pro-soldiers were busy with the odds, but Gao Zhong waited for Ren Cong.

Ren Congming saw Gao Pet come out, and said with a smile:

"This inn has never been so lively, and they are all very happy."

"They are making trouble about my competition odds, they say it's too faceless, but they don't know, this is an old time to make money, and you must make money if you are ready. What do I want? "Gao Pet is not thorough, if you don't understand this, you can only blame them for being too stupid, and Ren Cong is naturally impossible to be such a person.

"Of course, it also depends on who comes out on top. I'm here to deliver something for you. Ren asked his subordinates to carry a box of things in, entered Gao Pet's room, and took out the pattern from his arms.

"This is your drawing, I copied it without your permission, and here it is."

"You can keep that share, I said it will be given to the prince when the time comes, and I will only use this bow for a few days."

Ren Cong watched Gao Pet install a bow in the room, Deng Yu poured tea and came in, and Gao Pet asked him to call two archers and staff officers here. They will be used when the time comes to try the bow.

Gao Pet tried the bow piece, the strength was enough, the workmanship of each part was also very fine, and the handshake handle was polished very smooth. It took more than an hour to install the bow, mainly because it was very troublesome to use glue and winding the thread, and if it was strong with threads, it was much simpler. It is also difficult to adjust once it is formed, so it must be very careful. The glue does not dry easily. The loaded bow will not be adjusted until tomorrow.

There are many accessories for this bow, in addition to the eccentric wheel pulley, there is also a balance stabilizer bar, a secondary chord protection bar, a scope, etc., and finally, Gao Pet has a D ring on the cow tendon string. The position of the D-ring is important, usually five inches above the midline.

What Ren Cong saw was a very strange bow, the wheelbase when it was not opened was only three feet and five inches, according to the calculation of Gao Pet, with the long arrows of the Xixia Kingdom, the muzzle velocity should be more than 120 meters, specifically due to the arrows, bow pieces and other factors to wait until tomorrow to try to know.

I made five spreaders, and the old money was delivered in the morning. But at this time, Gao Pet did not take it out.

"Young Master, do you want to try", added some oil to the pulley shaft of the bow, opened the stabilizer bar, added some lead particles, held the bow and felt it, pulled up the string, and asked Gao Zhong.

"Okay" Ren Cong took the compound bow, because he was wearing a wrench, so he took it and pulled it. When you pull, it's a little heavy at first, but when it's almost full, it gets lighter and lighter, and you can pull the string with very little force. As soon as I let go, I saw a few wheels on the bow spinning.

"Master Gao, what can such a light bow do?" Ren Cong has never pulled such a light bow, just like the learning bow used by a child when Xiao gave Xiao Yin the first time he coached bows and arrows.

"Don't look at it lightly, it's no problem to shoot seventy or eighty steps, and it's no problem to shoot through the best armor of your Western Xia." Of course, there is a premise for this, and it is necessary to use high-quality armor-piercing arrows.

"Tomorrow can you get me some arrows, preferably more, and I'll pick some out to use in the competition." You'd better help me find a secret place to try my arrows. ”

"I've got you ready, three thousand first-class arrows. Pull it for you when you try. Let's try the arrow at the prince's special martial arts training ground."

"If the prince is free, let him come and see it." Anyway, tomorrow the prince will definitely come, so it is better to invite now.

"I'll get back to the prince and see if he's free. Okay, I'll go first. ”

On the way, Ren Cong thought about this bow, it was so light, could he really shoot so far as Gao Pet Jing said?

Xinyi Fang is actually the property of Mu Wei, the privy envoy, and let a family child act as an agent. This privy envoy is in charge of the military and political affairs of a country and has the power to be the prime minister, but his status in the Western Xia is often higher than that of the prime minister. Mu Wei also has a younger brother Mu Jun who is also a general in Western Xia, which shows that the Mu family is also a big family in Western Xia. Mu Wei is first-class in battle, and he also likes to gamble, this time he watched the competition between Gao Zhong and Li Xiaoer, and he launched this odds as soon as he saw that it was an opportunity. Due to the fact that Li Xiaoer won a lot, the odds of this high favorite are getting higher and higher. If the high pet wins, he can make a big profit.

But in the afternoon of the next day, two sums of nearly 100,000 yuan of funds came in at once, and more than 2 million yuan will be lost at that time.

It turned out that the next day, Gao Pet tried the arrow, and the prince followed the whole process at the scene, one was fun, and secondly, Gao Pet's bow really made him curious, and he went up to try it again, and even he, a ten-year-old man, could draw a full bow. Full of confidence in Gao Hong's victory. So he asked Ren Cong to take 50,000 yuan and buy a high pet to win.

This purchase made Mu Wei very heartbroken.
