The Shatuo tribe in Puchanghai is only a branch of the Shatuo tribe, with a population of thousands, and this tribe belongs to the young chieftain Zhu Yuefuguo.

When Li Zhen and the four of them passed by to camp here, they happened to meet Zhu Yuefuguo coming from the north to inspect his tribe, and the Shatuo girl who challenged Li Zhen was Zhu Yueminzhi, the daughter of Zhu Yuefuguo.

Zhu Yue Minzhi was only fifteen years old, and her father raised her as a son since she was a child, so that she had the agility of the Shatuo warrior and high cavalry archery.

In last year's Shatuo Riding and Archery Competition, she wore a black panther warrior costume and defeated many Shatuo warriors, winning the third place in riding and archery in one fell swoop, and won the title of 'Leopard Beauty Girl' among the Shatuo people.

This time she went south with her father to Puchanghai to inspect, and she also wanted to pick a few girls with good riding and archery to enrich her Shatuo female cavalry team, but from Jiuzhi's mouth, she learned that Li Zhen was the first horse archery master in the Tang Dynasty, which made her deeply interested.

But Li Zhen's casual jokes angered her again, and she immediately issued a challenge to Li Zhen to try riding and shooting with him.

The news that Leopard Meiniang was going to challenge the Han boy quickly spread throughout the tribe, and the Shatuo people were a horse people, who had lived in a difficult environment for many years, and had also developed their brave and aggressive character.

This news immediately aroused great interest among the Shatuo people, and even Zhu Yueminzhi's father was alarmed, and he immediately ordered a cavalry and archery conference to be held on the shore of Puchang Sea, so that hundreds of Shatuo warriors could also participate in this cavalry and archery competition.

The melodious and low sound of antlers sounded on the vast grassland, and a team of Shatuo warriors rushed from afar, planting flags on the grassland, and in a moment a competition field covering an area of thousands of acres was formed.

At the beginning, there were three and two Shatuo riders from the camp, galloping in the field, stretching their bows and shooting arrows, preparing for the upcoming riding and archery conference.

At this time, Zhu Yueminzhi also ran from a distance surrounded by dozens of girls, she had changed into a black panther warrior uniform, which was made of a black panther skin, tightly wrapped around her plump and slender body, long leather boots, thighs and arms were exposed, with colorful feathers on her head, and galloping on a horse with an eagle bow in her hand, which showed her wild beauty even more.

"Is that Han boy here?" asked Zhu Yueminzhi in a loud voice.

Several Shatuo warriors came up and bowed and said, "He hasn't come yet." ”

"Go and spy on him to prevent him from running away. ”

Several Shatuo warriors glanced at each other, turned their horses' heads together, and ran in the direction of the camp.

At this time, another girl asked, "Sister Toshiyuki, do you think he will run?"

Zhu Yueminzhi sneered and said: "That wine will blow him to the sky, if he is false, he will run away." ”

"That's it, I also think that Jiu Zhi is bragging, how can he be the number one cavalry archer in the Tang Dynasty? I think they are obviously ordinary people!"

"It doesn't matter if he is the number one cavalry archer in the Tang Dynasty, but if he dares to despise me, I will make him pay!"

Zhu Yuemin's pretty face was covered with a layer of frost, and she turned her horse's head and galloped towards the riding range

Inside the big tent, Li Zhen sat on the side and calmly changed the strings of the Shadow Bow, as if the upcoming mounted archery competition had nothing to do with him, and he was just a spectator passing by.

Xiao Xi and Kang Dazhuang were very worried, in the early morning stone competition, Kang Dazhuang defeated twelve challengers and won the respect of Shatuo warriors, but it was only a private competition, and they didn't care if they won or lost.

But Li Zhen wants to participate in the cavalry archery competition is an official competition, from the Shatuo chieftain, all Shatuo warriors have to participate, Kang Dazhuang knows that the Shatuo people are strong in riding and archery, although Li Zhen won the championship in Dunhuang archery, but compared with the Shatuo people who grew up on horseback since childhood, they may not be able to have an advantage.

If he loses, I am afraid that it will leave Li Zhen with an indelible shame, Kang Dazhuang said worriedly: "Since we are not from Shatuo, we are not obliged to participate in this cavalry and archery competition, and Chief Shatuo has not officially invited us."

Without waiting for Kang Dazhuang to finish speaking, Jiu Zhi jumped up and shouted: "Do you mean to let Lao Li run away with his tail between his legs? The moon is dark and the wind is high, we pick up the luggage and slip away like mice, Lao Kang, you may be able to do it, fat man, I don't do it, manly man, if you lose, you will lose, I'm afraid of a fart!"

Kang Dazhuang also said angrily: "What do you want me to do? Am I thinking about myself? You dead fat man, don't think that I don't know, you caused this incident." ”

Jiu Zhi was furious, rolled up his sleeves and said viciously: "You fire slave, do you want to fight?"

Kang Da stood up strongly, clenched his fists, and covered Jiuzhi with a half-iron tower-like body, "If you dare to insult me again, I will kill you!"

Xiao Xi was timid, and hurriedly clasped his palms together and begged, "Don't quarrel with the two big brothers, Brother Zhen needs to be quiet, you are disturbed, how can you compare arrows?"

Kang Dazhuang and Jiu Zhi glanced at each other hatefully, and sat down again, Li Zhen only smiled, did not speak, and continued to focus on changing the bowstring, at this time, there was a sound of horses' hooves outside the big tent, as if someone was shouting something?

Jiu Zhi was closest to the tent door, he picked open the tent door and looked at it, "Lao Li, it seems that he is here to find you, more than a dozen Shatuo warriors, one by one, as if they want to eat people." ”

Kang Dazhuang opened the curtain and strode out, Jiuzhi also felt faceless, secretly took out two flying knives, and went out with him.

Outside the tent are more than a dozen sixteen or seventeen-year-old Shatuo boys, with a wide nose and big face, wearing a hat, wearing Turkic robes, leather belts around their waists, each holding a bow and arrow in their hands, and a majestic war horse in their crotch.

Kang Dazhuang, who was proficient in Turkic language, raised his brass stick and shouted: "This is your chief's decision, why don't you use arrows to aim at the chief?"

More than a dozen Shatuo teenagers were furious, and they all opened their bows and arrows, aiming at Kang Dazhuang, at this time, the curtain was lifted, Li Zhen walked out of it, and said coldly: "Who wants to find me?"

The Shatuo teenagers glanced at each other, and one of the strongest teenagers urged forward and said, "We all think that you are not qualified to compete with the leopard beauty, we want to challenge you, come with us!"

Kang Dazhuang translated in a low voice, and Li Zhen laughed, "You may be mistaken! It's not that I want to compete with her, but she challenges me, who do you think of me?"

At this moment, several Shatuo female riders rushed over, and the person was Zhu Yueminzhi, she saw a group of Shatuo young warriors murderously surrounding Li Zhen, and immediately understood, she stepped forward and scolded angrily: "You are so hospitable, you have lost the face of Shatuo people, you have the ability to go to the arena to challenge, what is it to come here, don't get out of here!"

The young man Shatuo was quite afraid of her, glared at Li Zhen hatefully, turned the horse's head and left, and soon ran away, Li Zhen smiled and nodded to her, "Thank you for the girl's respect for the guests." ”

Zhu Yueminzhi said with a gloomy face: "Shatuo people will not be rude to guests, but when they enter the arena, there will be no hosts and guests, life and death are in the sky, if you are afraid, it is still too late to leave." ”

I don't know why, although Li Zhen didn't quite understand the Turkic language spoken by the dozen or so Shatuo boys, he could understand the Turkic language of the Shatuo girl in front of him, he nodded and smiled: "Thank you for the reminder, but since the girl is graciously invited, if I leave, it will be disrespectful." ”

Zhu Yueminzhi's face softened slightly, and he said, "I'm here to ask what your name is, my name is Zhu Yueminzhi, what about you?"

"Li Zhen in Xiadhuang!"

'Li Zhen!' Zhu Yueminzhi silently read twice, remembering the name, she turned her horse's head and said: "The competition is about to start, please do your best to get used to the venue first, so that you can swing the best archery, I am looking forward to seeing you bow down under my arrow." ”

"Each other!

Zhu Yueminzhi took a deep look at Li Zhen, whipped his war horse, and galloped away in the northeast direction, Jiuzhi praised loudly: "This Hu Niang is good, wild enough!"

"It's a boar of love, and his eyes are straight when he sees any woman!" Kang Dazhuang scolded him in a low voice.

Jiu Zhi didn't hear this, otherwise he would have jumped up again, but Li Zhen felt that Jiu Zhi was right, this Zhu Yueminzhi was indeed wild enough

The surrounding arena was already very lively, nearly 10,000 Shatuo people gathered around, put on their best clothes, talked a lot, laughed from time to time, Shatuo people did not have any specific festivals, for them, the gathering of the whole clan was the grandest festival.

In the other corner of the arena, more than 500 young warriors of Shatuo gathered together on horseback, everyone was very excited, their faces were flushed, they were holding bows and arrows, their eyes were full of fighting spirit and anticipation of victory, and the admiring eyes of the girls in the distance were their greatest motivation.

No one could have imagined that Zhu Yuemin's negative words would turn into an unprecedented riding and archery competition for the people of Puchang Shatuo.

The Shatuo people temporarily set up a stand, and on the stand sat the Shatuo chieftain Zhu Yuefuguo and several clan elders.

Zhu Yuefuguo is about forty years old, medium in stature, strong as an ox, two long mustaches are trimmed very neatly, his father Zhu Yue Jinshan is the great chief of the entire Shatuo people, he is nearly sixty years old, and soon, Zhu Yuefuguo will inherit his father's position as the great chief.

"Are those Han teenagers here?" asked Zhu Yuefuguo with a smile.

"It's coming, it's there!"

An attendant pointed to the corner of the arena, and Zhu Yue Fuguo saw that on the other side of the Shatuo warriors, four teenagers were standing there alone with their horses, and no one seemed to pay attention to them.

"They're guests, they can't be so rude, invite them over!"

After a while, the entourage led Li Zhen and the other four over, and the four of them bowed and saluted, "See the Great Chief!"

Zhu Yue Fuguo glanced at them, his eyes fell on Li Zhen, he is a person with vision, although Kang Dazhuang is tall and burly, he only has strength, and he can't see that he has practiced archery, and the other two can't see anything outstanding.

Only Li Zhen's arms are particularly long, and his whole body is full of a kind of explosive power that is not revealed, and a pair of cold eyes seem to be able to see through people's hearts, which is the trace left by years of hard practice in archery.

"You are Li Zhen?" Zhu Yuefuguo asked with a smile as he looked at Li Zhen
