The so-called school field is just an open field located in the back garden of the Prince's East Palace, with a length and width of no more than 200 steps, which is specially used by the prince Yingzheng to practice archery, swordsmanship and empty-handed fighting.

After Wu Zhan and the three of them came to the field, they retreated from the guards and subordinates who were waiting around and prepared to compete.

"Hmph, little eunuch, it's too late for you to admit defeat now, otherwise you won't lose too badly in a while." Meng Yi walked to the weapon rack, took a horn bow with his hand, and pulled the bowstring, quite satisfied with the strength.

Immediately, the probe pulled out three long arrows from the quiver, "bang, bang, bang", three strings sounded, and the three long arrows shot at the arrow target a hundred steps away, and they were all hit.

This accurate head and this rate of fire made Ying Zheng, who was watching the battle from the sidelines, can't help but applaud, Wu Zhan's heart also sank, he didn't expect this big brute's archery skills to be so powerful, if on the real battlefield, with Meng Yi's archery skills, he will definitely make the enemy tremble.

It seems that today's competition is not easy, and you have to find another way to win.

Thinking about this, Wu Zhan walked to Meng Yi's side unhurriedly, took a crossbow with one arm, and said disapprerovingly: "Don't be too complacent, Da Manniu, don't be too complacent, just don't rely on the debt for a while." ”

As soon as Meng Yi heard Wu Zhan call himself a "big bull", he was angry and didn't fight anywhere, seeing that Wu Zhan abandoned the bow and chose a crossbow instead of a crossbow, he couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth, and complained: "It turns out that you can't make a bow and only use a crossbow, hahaha, at your level, you still dare to compete with me?" It's overwhelming! ”

"I use a crossbow not because I can only use a crossbow, but to show respect for my Qin army!" Wu Zhan said with a straight face.

"Cut! If it doesn't work, it won't work, how can the use of a crossbow be related to respect for the Qin army? Meng Yi's mouth was almost up to his ears.

"Don't you know that the reason why my Qin people have made the Six Kingdoms frightened is because our Qin crossbow is the most powerful?" Wu Zhan pulled the crossbow string with one hand, and the strength of the three stones was as light as nothing in his hands.

Ying Zheng said: "Yes, the most powerful thing in my Qin army is the Qin crossbow, the crossbow array is volleyed, invincible." ”

When Meng Yi heard this, he had to put away his contempt, so he put the bow and arrow back in their place, and also picked up the arm crossbow on the side.

Wu Zhan couldn't help but be secretly happy in his heart when he saw this, Meng Yi abandoned the bow and used the crossbow, which was equivalent to abandoning his own strength, but he had already lost half of this point.

Ying Zheng on the side watched Wu Zhan and the two bickering with interest, and couldn't help but say: "The two of them haven't officially competed yet, and just the words and swords make me feel wonderful." I wonder what the next two want to compare? ”

After several halberds, Meng Yi no longer dared to despise the young junior in front of him in eunuch uniform, and when he heard Yingzheng's question, he pointed to the arrow target at the other end of the school field and said: "Each of us has five arrows, and whoever shoots the bull's-eye more times wins." ”

"Whew!" Wu Zhan sneered: "The arrow target is dead, what is the difficulty of shooting a dead target?" If you are on the battlefield, will it be difficult for the enemy to stand there quietly and wait for you to shoot? ”

"You ......" Meng Yideng was dumbfounded, and you were speechless for a long time.

Ying Zheng only felt that it was getting more and more interesting, so he asked Wu Zhandao: "Then how do you want to compare?" ”

Wu Zhan was overjoyed in his heart, and then pointed to a banyan tree in the corner and said, "Please ask the prince to order someone to tie a bronze mirror with a ribbon and hang it on the branch, and whichever of us shoots the bronze mirror first will win." ”

Ying Zheng and Meng Yi looked at the banyan tree together, just saying that the distance was a little farther than the arrow target, and it was still within the shooting range of the crossbow arrow, but hanging the bronze mirror on the branch with a ribbon, the breeze blowing, the branch and the bronze mirror would sway, it was indeed much more difficult than shooting the target.

Meng Yi relied on his archery skills, where did he take this shooting difficulty to heart, so he said confidently: "Okay, let's shoot the bronze mirror." ”

Ying Zheng saw that Meng Yi was not afraid of the challenge, so he hurriedly ordered people to prepare.

When everything was ready, Meng Yi was about to shoot with an arrow, but was stopped by Wu Zhan holding down the crossbow arm.

"What, you're going to throw in the towel?" Meng Yi looked up and asked.

"Hahaha, before we officially compete, I still want to play a little game with you, so let's warm up." Wu Zhan smiled treacherously, and before Meng Yi could react, Wu Zhan had already quickly snatched Meng Yi's crossbow arrow, shook it in his hand and said, "When you catch me, I will give you the crossbow arrow." ”

"The little eunuch is looking for a fight!" Meng Yi said angrily, and he had already rushed towards Wu Zhan.

Wu Zhan held a crossbow arrow to the left and right, fishing Meng Yi from a distance, just so that he couldn't catch up with him.

Meng Yi originally thought that he was tall and long-legged, coupled with perennial training, the speed and endurance of running were very comparable, but Wu Zhan was not an ordinary person, he had been trained by the Netherworld Guardian Devil all year round, and he had the wonderful body technique taught to him by his father, coupled with the guidance of his master Dongfang Yun, who could beat him.

So the two ran in front like this, one chased behind, and ran around the school field, while Xiao Yingzheng stood in the middle of the field, clapping his little hands and shouting happily, and people who didn't know thought the three of them were playing games.

One, two, three......

Twenty laps later, Meng Yi still couldn't catch Wu Zhan, at this time he was already short of breath, and beads of sweat slipped down his head.

Wu Zhan saw that the time was almost up, so he took the initiative to give the arrows to Meng Yi, and he was also busy raising his arms and opening his crossbow, stretching the strings and arrows, and aiming towards the bronze mirror on the branch, but saw that the bronze mirror was swinging and swaying from side to side.

Meng Yi's speed of loading the arrow was earlier than Wu Zhan's, but when he aimed at the bronze mirror, he only felt that the sweat stains slipped into his eye sockets, causing his vision to blur, coupled with the violent exercise just now, which made him breathe rapidly, and he couldn't aim normally at all.

On the other hand, Wu Zhan didn't panic at all, took a deep breath, quickly stabilized his mind, and then opened his eyes suddenly, aimed and shot, and the crossbow shot towards the bronze mirror in the distance with a "whoosh".

"Dang!"

With a resonance of gold and iron, Wu Zhan's crossbow bolt accurately hit the bronze mirror, which immediately caused Yingzheng on the side to cheer and jump: "Okay, good archery!" ”

Meng Yi reluctantly put down the crossbow arrow in his hand, lowered his head and said, "I lost!" ”

Wu Zhanxin said: It's no wonder if you don't lose in this case!

"Actually, your archery skills are also ......."

Wu Zhan wanted to give Meng Yi a step down, but he saw Meng Yi bow his hand and said: "I am willing to lose the bet, from this moment on, I Meng Yi willingly recognize you as the boss!" ”

"And me, and me!" Ying Zheng also learned from Meng Yi's appearance and bowed his hand and said: "I am also willing to recognize you as the boss!" ”

Wu Zhan hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed the hands of the two, and said happily: "Haha, of course I'm happy to be your boss, but the prince's status is noble, so I don't think it's comparable." ”

"Why? Do you think I'm unworthy? Xiao Yingzheng's face suddenly turned cold and said.

Meng Yi on the side also explained: "The prince misunderstood, you recognize a little eunuch as the boss, what kind of ......system will it become if it is spread in the future?"

"What little eunuch is not a little eunuch?" Wu Zhan said sharply: "Since you already recognize me as the boss, you must first learn how to respect your boss!" ”

"Even if you are my boss, it can't change the fact that you are a eunuch." Meng Yi poked his little finger into his ear and muttered.

"Damn!" Wu Zhan said angrily: "You remember for me, my name is Wu Zhan, not a little eunuch." ”

"Hehe, you're finally willing to tell the truth." Meng Yi blew on the nail cover, as if blowing earwax stuck to the nail.

"Now I know your name, but I don't know your true identity yet, and what is your purpose in approaching the prince?" Meng Yi said: "Since you are already my boss, I also recognize you as my boss, so you can't hide anything from me!" ”

"Hey...... I didn't expect you to be quite scheming. Wu Zhan sighed.

It seems that the so-called archery is just Meng Yi's strategy from beginning to end, if Meng Yi wins and becomes his own boss, he Wu Zhan will have to obey the boss's instructions and truthfully explain his identity......

Alas, a miscalculation! Wu Zhan couldn't help but regret in his heart.

Xiao Yingzheng saw that Wu Zhan looked embarrassed, and knew that he was still not at ease with the relationship between Meng Yi's grandfather Meng Fu and Lu Buwei, so he said: "Meng Yi is his own person, and he is definitely worthy of our trust." ”

How so? Wu Zhan wanted to ask, but he was afraid that Meng Yi would be embarrassed, so he had to suppress this question in his heart.

"My Meng family is a native of Qi country, and during the Zhaoxiang Dynasty, my grandfather led his clan to move west to Qin."

Meng Yi said leisurely: "After arriving in the Qin State, King Zhaoxiang appreciated my grandfather's military talent, so he ordered my grandfather to lead the Qin army to conquer the east and west, and my grandfather also made countless military exploits for the Qin State. But because we were originally Qi people, the local clans and courtiers of the Qin State suppressed and excluded my grandfather everywhere, making his old man depressed. ”

"Later, Lu Xiang rescued King Zhuangxiang and was named the Prime Minister of Qin, since then, Lu Xiang has not been influenced by others, and vigorously promoted and reused my grandfather, so that my Meng family has a prominent position in Qin since then, it can be said that if there is no cultivation of Lu Xiang, my Meng family will have no future......"

"You open your mouth and Lu Xiang closes your mouth, how can I believe that you are loyal to the crown prince?" Wu Zhanhu said suspiciously.

"Although our Meng family is very grateful to Lu Xiang for his kindness, but from my grandfather to me, our Meng family knows that we are loyal to the Qin State, not a certain person. With such a feat, why should we guard against Lu Xiang like a thief? Meng Yi gritted his teeth and asked.

From Meng Yi's words, Wu Zhan understood their position.

"If one day Lü Buwei wants to endanger the Qin State and threaten the safety of the crown prince, what will you do?" Wu Zhan asked, staring into Meng Yi's eyes.

"How is this possible? There is no such if. Meng Yi couldn't accept Wu Zhan's assumption no matter what.

"Of course, it's best if there is no such thing, but if something like this really happens one day, what choice will you and your Meng family make?" Wu Zhan stepped forward and asked.

"This ...... This ......" Meng Yi still can't accept this assumption.

Ying Zheng was a little unbearable, and stepped forward to relieve the siege: "When my mother and I first arrived in Xianyang, many people didn't want to see us, and no one dared to approach us, only Meng Yi, he was the only one who dared to take the initiative to approach me, and since then, Meng Yi has been guarding me day and night, so I never doubt Meng Yi's loyalty to me." ”

Wu Zhan was unmoved when he heard this, and only listened to him continue: "If that day comes, will your Meng family choose to support the crown prince or choose to follow Lu Buwei?" ”

After a battle between heaven and man, Meng Yi said firmly with tears in his eyes: "If there is really that day, our Meng family will definitely stand firmly on the side of the prince!" ”

"Good, good brother!" Wu Zhan vigorously patted Meng Yi's strong arm and said.

"It's time for us to get to know you, boss." Meng Yi felt very awkward about this boss, after all, Wu Zhan was two years younger than himself.

"Since you're so open-minded, I don't want to hide it."

Wu Zhan said: "My name is Wu Zhan, three years ago, my father died in a battle with the assassins of Zhao State in order to save the prince and the queen, and my mother was also killed by the assassins, from that moment on, I have been closely entangled with the fate of the prince, in my eyes, the life safety of the prince is more important than myself, do you understand?" ”

"Meng Yi is disrespectful!" Meng Yi bowed down when he heard this.

"Hahaha, we will be our own brothers in the future, why be so polite!" At this moment, Wu Zhan also accepted Meng Yi.

The three of them no longer have estrangement and suspicion, and they can face strong enemies together and overcome various difficulties in the future.
