The news that Chang Sui Ning was going to discuss with Fang Dajiao spread quickly, and the whole military camp became a sensation.
"I've already consulted General Chang, and General Chang really gave permission!"
"I heard that Chang Niangzi was arrogant and angered the head of the sect of Fang Dajiao......
"What did you say?"
"She said that the soldiers trained by the leaders are like rotten wood...... Dead wood in spring or something!"
「?」 The person who heard it looked dazed, doesn't this sound like scolding?
Another soldier corrected, "...... It's dead wood and rotten plants! It's useless!"
"Yes, yes, that's it!"
When the soldiers heard this, they looked at each other, how could they think that these words were not just scolding the head of the Great Sect of Fang? Who is the Dead Wood Rotten Tree? Which one is useless?
"......" celebrated the New Year, and the soldiers suddenly felt that the dumplings in the bowl were not fragrant.
「…… I want to see what kind of ability this Chang lady has to look at us like this!"
"Let's go, don't eat, go to the martial arts arena and have a look!"
Some people are angry and leave the bowl, and some people are angry and take the bowl to follow, so some people on the road scold while walking, and some people eat while walking...... After all, the celery pork dumplings are really fragrant!
More and more soldiers went to the martial arts arena to watch, and people everywhere were full of voices.
"I heard that it's because the coach and the deputy coach want to set up Chang Niangzi as the head coach...... The people down there are not convinced."
"That Chang Niangzi said that if she loses to the sect leader of Fang Da today, she will not mention the matter of being the head of the sect again!"
「…… Regardless of whether she is a girl or not, this Chang Niang is really a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers! Dare to propose to compete with Fang Da's sect leader!"
It's not such a way to be in the limelight, is it?
Some people also speculated: "Could it be that the sect leader of Fang Da was secretly bribed and threatened...... I deliberately want to lose to Chang Niangzi, so as to help her establish her authority, right?"
"That's the Sect Leader of Fang University!"
Stubborn as a donkey!
"It's not real, it's not real...... Just check it out!"
They are not laymen, can they still tell the truth from the fake?
For a while, there were all kinds of speculations, but almost everyone decided that the girl who had just turned seventeen and had not yet a quarter of an hour old could not win over Fang Dajiao through legitimate means.
This kind of thought, after everyone came to the martial arts arena and saw the two people standing in the center of the martial arts arena, they became more and more determined.
From a visual point of view alone, the disparity between the two can be described as vastly different.
In terms of size, the head of the sect of Fang Da can be worth more than two little girls, not to mention that the head of the sect is also the oldest and most prestigious of the seven sect heads in the army.
On the other hand, the little girl did not hesitate at all, standing there and being looked at, she couldn't help but give people a sense of youth and vigor.
Not to mention anything else, it is really rare for this young and frivolous energy to appear in a girl.
This kind of talk in advance, and in full view of the public, is not the same as facing the enemy on the battlefield, the situation on the battlefield is mixed, it is still possible to sneak attack, it is still possible to use the young and thin body to make the opponent underestimate the enemy, so as to surprise the enemy by surprise, and can cooperate with colleagues to kill the enemy, but at this time it is completely different.
She wants to face off with the head of the sect of Fang Da, and the head of the sect of Fang has always been cautious and calm, on such an occasion, there is no reason to underestimate the enemy, and it is impossible to give her a chance.
In a word, being able to kill Ge Zong and Li Yi does not mean that he can win the head of Fang Dajiao.
Young and frivolous, you are going to fall on your heels!
The martial arts arena has been surrounded by airtight winds.
In the face of those eyes who were waiting to see the jokes lively, or were curious, sarcastic, scrutinized, or nervous for her, Chang Suining, who had already taken off her cloak and tied her ponytail more firmly, her face never changed.
She chose to compete with Fang Da Sect Leader for two reasons.
First, the other party's identity and prestige are here, if she wants to be the head of the sect, she naturally has the ability to overwhelm the head of the seven sects, so that she can truly convince the public, so that she can do it once and for all
。
Second, since she participated in the military training, she has met with this Fang Dajiao several times, and she can feel the other party's silent contempt and prejudice, he has never spoken to her, nor has he expressed straightforward dissatisfaction and questioning-
But she knows very well that this kind of silent stereotype is more difficult to uproot and easier to bury hidden dangers than declared dissatisfaction.
Therefore, she chooses to push the boat to anger the other party in exchange for a chance to break the stereotype head-on.
Chang Kuo had already gotten permission for this contest, and soon some soldiers had prepared everything they needed for the competition.
As the crowded crowd made way for a way, Chang Kuo and Xiao Min also came to the martial arts arena to watch the battle in person.
"See the manager, the lieutenant!"
There were countless salutes in all directions, Chang Kuo raised his hand to stop it, and only looked at Chang Suining in the field.
Xiao Min seemed calm on his face, but his heart went up and down, and he whispered to Chang Kuo again: "General Chang, otherwise, Xiao will come forward to explain and play a round, and you can bring Chang Niangzi back......
"No." Chang Kuo shook his head: "Leaving at this time, no matter what the name is, is equivalent to admitting defeat, and Suining's actions will only become more and more hindered in the future."
Besides, bring people back? He's a subordinate father, where does he have this ability!
Seeing that the father was as strong as the girl, Xiao Min could only sigh in his heart, looked at the two people in the field worriedly, and said in a low voice: "Why did you choose this Fang Dajiao leader......
Chang Kuo sighed brightly: "Yes......
This man is a little unlucky.
Hearing this sincere sigh, Yuan Xiang's heart rose high, so even General Chang didn't believe that Chang Niangzi could win?
Yuan Xiang was worried, and insisted that as smart as Chang Niangzi, he didn't expect to be so impulsive and do the stupid thing of hitting a stone with an egg, and there must be another clever trick to win.
He tried to look to his side, and sure enough, he noticed that something was wrong.
Xi'er is gone!
Yuan Xiang's heart perked, and he asked Ah Che in a low voice, "Where is Miss Xi'er?"
Is there something secretly arranged, he can help!
Ah Che glanced left and right, and replied in a low voice, "...... Sister Xi'er went back to burn incense."
「……」
This kind of arrangement, which can only be pinned on metaphysics, made Yuan Xiang fall into despair for a while.
Then, he quietly pulled Ah Dian aside to speak, and whispered coaxing to confess: "...... General, if Chang Niangzi suffers on the field later, when you see me making this gesture, you will rush up in time to make a big fuss and interrupt this competition!"
Although this strategy is not unsuccessful, in order to save Chang Niangzi's safety and reputation, this can only be done...... In the eyes of outsiders, General Ah Dian is an unreasonable child, and he is the only one who is suitable to come forward to do this.
Ah Dian's eyes widened: "Why!"
"This is to prevent Chang Niangzi from being bullied......
"No, don't you believe that Xiao Ah Li can win?"
When Yuan Xiang didn't know how to answer, he saw Ah Dian stomp his feet, turned around and ran back, and said unhappily, "Hmph, you're so shameless, I won't play with you anymore!" How can you do this, I'm going to sue you when I go back to Xiao Ah Li!"
Yuan Xiang's face was embarrassed: "......!"
When Ah Dian squeezed to Chang Kuo, who was standing at the front, someone had already announced the item of this competition loudly.
In the Dasheng military camp, the promotion and selection of the big and small head of the sect have rules and regulations, for the sake of fairness, the competition between Chang Suining and the head of Fang Da will follow the "three comparisons" in the selection of the head of the big sect.
One is to ride and shoot knives and guns, two is to train soldiers, and three is to fight against each other.
The first competition is a little more cumbersome, and it needs to be divided into three games, one for riding and shooting, and one for each knife and gun competition.
At the beginning of the cavalry, Chang Suining and Fang Dajiao jumped on their horses one after another, and the torches around them were agitated, shining this Chinese New Year's Eve exceptionally brightly, and the shouts of the soldiers began to sound.
The ratio of big coaches is far more difficult than the selection of small leaders.
In the ratio of mounted archery, a total of 50 arrow targets need to be set along the martial arts field, and within a quarter of an hour, the one who hits the most hearts wins. If the number of hits is the same, it will come first
The returner wins.
Obstacles such as sandbags and wooden stakes will also be set up on the way to interfere with the horses' progress, which will test the contestants' horse skills.
The martial arts arena here covers a vast area, a circle is fifteen miles, under the premise of obstacles, ordinary people only need to run a lap of the royal horse, it also takes at least a quarter of an hour, and in this competition, it is necessary to test the archery skills at the same time.
There are fifty arrow targets, and the number of arrows in each quiver is also fifty, and each arrow target has only one chance to shoot an arrow, and each arrow is related to winning or losing.
With the beat of a drum, Chang Suining and Fang Dajiao drove their horses together.
Fang Dajiao glanced at the girl who was one step faster than him, riding like an arrow, with a slight surprise in his eyes, and then sped up to follow.
When he was standing on the martial arts arena, the cold wind blew away the wine, and he regretted it a little.
Of course, this regret is not that he thinks that he will lose to this little girl, but that he, as the head of the first army, actually wants to compete with a little girl who is not as old as his daughter in public, and it is not glorious to win.
At present, it is better than riding and shooting, and there is no need to fight directly for the time being, and it will not hurt the opponent.
Therefore, he planned to stop the next competition after winning this cavalry shooting, and expose the matter here, so as not to make the people below and General Chang think that he was bullying the small with the big and aggressive.
Sect Leader Fang already had a plan in mind.
But everything that followed was not in his plans.
The girl, who was thin and light on her horse, drove her horse over the first obstacle, and when the horse's hooves fell, she had already set up her arrows.
She turned her upper body slightly, holding her bow in the direction of the target, and her lower body sat firmly on the horse's back, without a hint of shaking.
It is important to know that the thin body has the advantage of being light, but it also means that the lower limbs are not stable, but she is surprisingly stable!
Because he is in the position of the head of the Great Sect, he can distinguish the high and low at a glance, and the head of the Great Sect Fang can hardly hide the surprise in his eyes at this time.
"Hugh—"
The arrow in her hand was off the string, but her horse did not stop, and she didn't even look to see if the arrow could hit, but turned back to him and smiled, raised the longbow in her hand, and said in a clear voice: "Sect Leader Fang, concede!"
Sect Leader Fang: "......!"
He didn't!
And she didn't look at the casual appearance after the arrow, as if she was sure that she would definitely be able to hit the bull's-eye!
The little girl is really arrogant, you must know that excellent riding skills do not mean that archery skills are also ......
When the head of Fang Dajiao also pulled his bow, he aimed his eyes in the direction of the arrow target, but he saw that the first arrow had been pierced in the middle of the bull's-eye!
His arrows were also off the string, and they also hit the bull's-eye, and the two arrows were tightly packed into the red heart, and it was difficult to distinguish between high and low.
But it was this "indistinguishable high and low" that made Sect Leader Fang have to start facing the girl who drove the horse in front of him.
The maiden rode her horse and drew her bow again, and as she had done the last time, she withdrew her gaze as soon as she opened it, and did not stop to see where the arrow had landed.
The bows and arrows and horses used in the competition are not used by the contestants themselves, which is a fair consideration and can also more intuitively test the riding and archery skills of both sides.
There are soldiers guarding and observing along the way, and the onlookers in the distance have gradually lost sight of the specifics, only to see the torch in the light, the girl is always in front, with the bow in her hand, and the horse under her horse, seems to be the most familiar partner, such as the arm and fingers, smooth and sassy.
Those obstacles did not make her feel sluggish.
And this side of the world called the barracks, and the rules under this side of the world, she seems to be familiar with it, she has never been afraid in the face of doubts, has never doubted in the face of rules, and has never hesitated in the face of every step ahead.
The girl who rode the horse and drew the bow did not hesitate, but someone began to hesitate.
Among those sect leaders who didn't call out their names, but were obviously cheering for Fang Da Sect Leader, someone began to hesitate in a low voice, "Why do you look at Fang Da Sect Leader as if he is slowing down?"
"What's the use of being fast? After a quarter of an hour, it's up to you to see who hits the most targets!"
The other six Great Sect Leaders also heard the news, and one of them said calmly, "You still can't believe the old Fang's cavalry, there are some of you
Whoever won him?"
Although it was only the first one of Fang Dajiao to compete with this Chang family girl today, the face of these leaders was also betting on this competition at this moment.
After all, this girl's words are arrogant, and what she denies is the training method of all their leaders.
And they are still convinced that their face will not fall to the ground.
Zhu Jiaotou: "That's right, she is "but seeking defeat"...... Then it will be done for her!"
"The old party may not be able to compete with her for the second time." The calm Great Sect Leader carried the animal skin wine jug, looked at the two black shadows that were almost invisible, and said, "But it is enough to win this game."
Then, somebody said something, and they burst into laughter.
Sect Leader Fang couldn't laugh.
He went from being one target behind at the beginning, to two targets, and was slowly pulled away by a full five or six targets.
There were many obstacles along the way, but the girl was ahead, like walking on the ground, like walking into the realm of nothing.
At this point, his advantage is only arm strength, he has shot down seven arrow targets along the way, if he is in front, this move will definitely hinder the opponent, so that the opponent has no target to aim, in a passive state, will also interfere with the opponent's emotions.
But he was behind the other party, and even if he shot down the arrow target, the opponent's arrow was already firmly rooted in the red heart, so it was useless.
Chang Sui Ning knows where her weaknesses lie, no matter how she is, she doesn't have the strength to shoot down the target with a bow now, but the other party must have it, this is a fact that cannot be made up for overnight.
So she didn't allow herself to be half a step behind the other party from the beginning, and she knew where the shortcomings were, so she had to hide it.
Under everyone's gaze, the two figures gradually disappeared from clear, and then returned from the darkness, becoming dim again.
As the man got closer and closer, everyone could tell that it was a girl's figure.
The girl who returned first drew her bow and shot the last arrow.
This time, she took a serious look at the trajectory of the finishing arrow.
At the same time, the onlookers in front of them could also see clearly that the arrow hit the bull's-eye and did not deviate at all.
Chang Suining took the empty quiver, returned to the center of the starting martial arts arena, turned over and jumped off the horse with a bow.
Seeing this, those sect leaders suddenly had some bad premonitions after exchanging glances.
But these premonitions are not enough to break their certainty, which comes from the accumulation of knowledge.
When the appointed time was approaching, Sect Leader Fang also returned.
He dismounted, his expression not relaxed.
In the face of the interrogation in the eyes of his companions, he remained silent and did not give any reaction.
Soon, some soldiers moved the entire fifty arrow targets back one after another, placed them in front of everyone one after another, and handed them over to the captain in charge of the competition to count.
