The archery competition is just a pre-dinner aftershow, which belongs to the man's world, but the women are beside the big tent, erecting a high swing, and the princesses and palace ladies are swinging, their skirts fluttering, and there is constantly the sound of laughter in the wind.

In contrast, the archery competition is more attractive, the Khitan nation is still relatively martial, and the people watching the archery competition are also crowded, Xiao Ming walked over and found Xiao Fengxian, the king of Hailing, and hurriedly looked around behind him, looking for the figure of Bana Tieji, this monk has always followed Xiao Fengxian's side, but he didn't find it today.

Xiao Ming stepped forward and saluted: "The prince is so interested, do you also show your skills?" ”

"Aha, it turned out to be General Red Eyebrows, why did you also get Yaxing from this?" Xiao Feng smiled at first.

Xiao Ming said: "I just looked, I didn't expect the prince to be here, I don't know if I can see the prince's magic skills?" ”

"Where can I do it, old man! It's the younger brother who signed up, but we Khitan warriors are definitely inferior to the Red Mei generals! ”

"My level is average, why don't we go and cheer for Brother Ling together?"

"There is Lord Lao Xiao, my brother and I are honored!"

"What the prince said is too polite, it should be, you and I are officials in the same dynasty, and we will rely on the cultivation of the prince in the future!"

Xiao Fengxian, who was a sycophant, was very satisfied, he gave Xiao Ming gold, money and other things, which was originally intended to solicit, Xiao Ming accepted all the orders, and did not express but was always very respectful to him, Xiao Fengxian felt in his heart that Xiao Ming must have not been satisfied, and he had been thinking about what to spend and what the price would be.

"By the way, why didn't the national teacher follow the prince?" Xiao Ming asked casually.

"Oh, the Buddha bone relics that the Guru greeted the Uighur mission and is now rushing to the stupa to prepare for the puja, and I am afraid that I will not be able to participate in this Spring Festival and bowl meeting!"

It turned out that Bana Tie was not there, so it was just right, Xiao Ming thought that he could make some preparations first, and this time if the opportunity was right, he must eradicate this demon monk in one fell swoop.

As the crowd cheered, someone shot the iron coin and let out a "Ding Ding!" Xiao Ming's eyes were attracted to the past, it was a thin man, wearing a leather robe, his first two arrows hit the iron money, and the last arrow was missed, flying out of the hanging rope according to the rules, and if the three arrows were all hit by the iron money, it was a winner, and you could get a pot of golden beans.

"I heard that His Royal Highness King Kang is famous in the Great Song Dynasty, skilled in bows and horses, good at using sticks, and first-class archery, why don't you try your skills today?"

Everyone's eyes were immediately attracted by the person who spoke, the person who spoke was Xiao Fengxian's younger brother Xiao Sixian, and the young man in the brocade robe standing next to him was the envoy of the Great Song Dynasty, King Kang Zhao Gou.

Zhao Gou's face was a little red, he was chased by this Xiao Si first several times a day today, and he couldn't hide, he always spoke harshly behind his buttocks, as if he was specifically aimed at him, or specifically for the envoys of the Song Dynasty, in short, he couldn't help it, staring at Xiao Sixian and preparing to fight back.

"Lord Xiao, you are the pillar of the Great Liao Kingdom, I heard that the Khitan people, both men and women, are good at archery, and I want to come to Lord Xiao is also a good hand in this, do you want to come and try it?"

Everyone heard Zhao Gou say this, they all cheered, Xiao Sixian secretly proud, he was a good servant shooter back then, and he had won the favor of King Lu by this, and today he got the instructions of his eldest brother Xiao Fengxian, that is, to make some trouble for the envoys of the Great Song Dynasty, so that they would lose face, because the Song Dynasty actually refused the request of the Liao State to advance the annual tribute.

Now that Zhao Gou took the bait, it was really good, and he made a bet with Zhao Gou at the moment, whoever loses will be punished, and then he gave a look to the guard who arranged the target hanging money, the man nodded and immediately turned around to arrange, and the large group of people here saw that there were people gambling between Song and Liao, and the atmosphere was even more enthusiastic.

Someone shouted: "The winner can take a pot of golden beans, so how will the loser be punished?" ”

Someone next to him reminded: "The loser will be shot ten arrows standing there!" ”

The man exclaimed, "Is there still a life?" ”

"I don't know, I don't think it's going to be fatal, but the injury is certain!"

……

A big man came out with the crowd, wearing a very luxurious robe on his body, leaving a big bald head, and wearing a huge gold earring in his left ear, which was the Tibetan envoy Ge Zan, and he said loudly: "If there is a punishment, there will be a reward, and I am willing to take out this Shatush shawl as a reward for the winner, so he raised the white shawl in his hand to the two people in the field."

The people below immediately buzzed and discussed, this Shatush is not simple, it is only produced on the snow-covered mountains of the Tubo Empire for ten thousand years. It is woven from the fine fleece of a snow takin, which is light and soft, but also very warm. It is the best thing for the nobles to keep warm in the cold land, not to mention that this Shatush is as white as a goose feather, floating like a floating cloud, and it is very light and thin, which adds to the prestige and the value is even more expensive.

Xiao Sixian knew that the envoy of Tubo was obviously flattering himself, because this was his home field, how could he let the reward go aside, although this Shatush was precious, but Xiao Sixian was now thinking about the handsome boys brought by the envoy of the Murowei tribe, this was his favorite.

The rules of the game are like this, every three arrows, one person shoots one, there is only one hanging money target, when shooting, you can use your own technology to destroy the opponent's arrows, which is very popular in the Liao country, also known as "fighting servant shooting" and Xiao Sixian is a good hand in this, that is his means of winning wealth and nobility, but it is very similar to the master of Juju, the means of flying Huang Tengda.

Xiao Sixian and Zhao Gou stood in the middle of the field, each holding a bow and three arrows, just waiting for the game to start, and the guards who arranged for the hanging money to put an iron coin through a spear with gold wire, and then inserted the spear into a big tree, and finally signaled that the two could compete.

Xiao Si first signaled Zhao Gou to come first, Zhao Gou was not polite and directly bent the bow and arrows to start aiming, and then shot an arrow, at this time, Xiao Si first also opened the bow and hair scissors, this arrow actually came first, and directly caught up with Zhao Gou's arrow on the way, and hit it violently in the back, Zhao Gou's arrow was crooked, and he flew towards the hanging money, everyone did not see it clearly, they could hear: "Ding" a sound of iron money.

Judging from Xiao Ming's eyes, all this is like slow motion, Xiao Sixian's arrow actually did not hit the iron coin, but was caused by the guards behind him throwing a small stone at Zheng, but because no one in the crowd noticed the electric sparks, from Xiao Sixian's sneering face, it can be seen that all this was arranged by him.

Zhao Gou's face was a little ugly, if the speed of the arrow was sure to be slow in order to pursue accuracy, and the speed of the arrow would still be destroyed by Xiao Sixian if it was full, obviously people had premeditated it, Zhao Gou suddenly smiled, turned his head to Xiao Sixian and said: "Lord Xiao is so clever!" , but how about we shoot the last two arrows at the same time? ”

The location of the field competition, the distance from the hanging money is about one hundred and fifty steps, the target of the iron money is very small, relying on accuracy to shoot, it takes a lot of practice to do it, Xiao Sixian seems to be confident, of course he will not agree, so he nodded in agreement.

I saw Zhao Gou smile slightly and take out a swarthy bow and crossbow from his arms, which made everyone present look sideways, Xiao Si first realized that it was not good, but the game did not say that the bow and crossbow were not allowed, this is a loophole, and there was no foul, but he was not worried, he just glanced at the guard who was responsible for hanging the money.

This time the two arrows shot in a row, comparing the speed, the two of them started almost at the same time, and immediately shot another arrow after shooting one arrow, but the color of the two arrows was different, it was still very easy to distinguish, Xiao Si was a red arrow first, and Zhao Gou was a black arrow, the two of them fired arrows at the same time, only to see a red and a black two arrows across the open space and run towards the iron money together.

Xiao Sixian's arrow has a special design, the arrow is hollow, can make a whistle sound, and at the same time, it will drive the arrow shaft to tremble, this is his magic weapon, even if there is an arrow close to him, he will be bounced away, but this time the situation is different, Zhao Gou's arrow shot out of the crossbow, the speed was extremely fast, an arrow just hit the lower edge of the iron coin, the iron coin was hit and flew upward, and Zhao Gou's arrow just cut off the gold wire of the hanging money.

And Xiao Sixian's arrow crossed from below, not touching the edge at all, the third arrow came immediately, Xiao Sixian saw that the iron coin was broken, and hurriedly shot the third arrow, but Zhao Gou's speed was slow, he needed to reload the crossbow, but what people didn't expect was that his third arrow was the last to come, and the speed was faster, directly splitting Xiao Sixian's red arrow from behind, and then piercing through the hole in the middle of the fallen iron coin, nailing straight to the tree!

The iron coin turned gently on the black shaft of the arrow, making a slight sound, and everyone was stunned, this result was too much for everyone to expect, and for a moment they all stayed there silently, and only after half a sound did they let out an exclamation.

Xiao Sixian's face was like ashes, staring at the black bow and crossbow in Zhao Gou's hand and asked in a lost voice, "You...... What are you, what crossbow? "The power and rate of fire of this crossbow was beyond his imagination.

Zhao Gou smiled contemptuously and said, "This is my Great Song Dynasty's crossbow, hehe, Lord Xiao, you lost!" Zhao Gou could win, he knew it, and he smiled slightly towards the place where Xiao Ming was standing......

Just before their match, Xiao Ming secretly found King Kang Zhao Gou, the black god crossbow was given to Zhao Gou by Xiao Ming, asked him to win the game, and told him to let him take time out of his big tent at night, he had something important to help Zhao Gou, this happened in a short time before the game.

And Zhao Huan saw the whole process, and he became more and more confused, who is this Xiao Ming? Why did he help King Kang, and why did he know King Kang, this person is simply too mysterious, behind his back he grabbed King Kang's arm and asked, "Ninth brother, who is this person?" “

Zhao Gou put his finger to his lips, "Shhh After a sigh, he saw that there was no one left and right, and then he whispered: "He, he is not a Liao, but my Northern Xuanhui Envoy of the Great Song Dynasty!" ”
