Yan Zhen felt that it was really boring for this group of people to run into the woods all the time, so he asked people to set up an arrow target sixty zhang away from the banquet, and ordered the Tianzi team and the Xuanzi team to face each other one-on-one in the form of a wheel battle, and the one with the highest score won.

The gamblers stared intently at the red hearts on the target, and there was silence around them, except for the shrill sound of the wind.

In the first game, the Tianzi team sent the right general Yan Miao, who was in charge of the 50,000 guards in Kyoto, who was once under the command of Prince Zheng, and later was promoted to general within two years with his outstanding achievements.

When everyone saw the tall and majestic Yan Miao coming out of the ranks, they couldn't help but exclaim and applaud again and again.

Su Yan knew this general, he was one of the best generals in Kyoto, proficient in archery and hand-to-hand combat, and his tactical experience was rarely matched. The remaining two are slightly inferior, one is the soldier Hong Jing, although he has been on the battlefield, but that was how many years ago, although he is also dealing with the march and fighting, but after all, he is doing civilian work, whether it is actual combat experience, dancing knives and guns, he has long been unfamiliar; The other is Chen Xiaoyao, the general of the East Palace Praetorian Guard, who is also a brave and good warrior, but this archery skill is unknown.

Although she doesn't know the three teenagers of the Xuanzi team, she should not be bad when observing the performance and skills of the hunting competition, among which the most accurate archery is the blue-clothed boy who has been silent, and the white-clothed boy is also highly accurate, but unfortunately he is not patient, and the youngest and thinnest child is the weakest and the weakest.

Thinking of this, Su Yan had a plan, and immediately moved to the Xuanzi team and secretly said a few words to them.

At this time, General Yan Miao had already mounted his feather arrows and drew his longbow, only to hear a wind whistling by, and the gray hair on his temples was brought up, and he could not stop in the air for a long time.

"General Miu shot a red heart!" The eunuch who kept track of the results shouted loudly.

General Yan Miao looked at the Xuanzi team and said with a smile: "If the little dolls retreat in the face of difficulties, Uncle will not laugh at you!" As he spoke, he patted his teammates on the shoulder, and several of them laughed along.

The white-clothed young man in the Xuanzi team was so angry that his face turned pale: "Why did General Yan Miao say this, we are also people who have been trained for more than ten years, have you forgotten that we won the first place just now?" ”

Yan Miao said disdainfully: "It's just a fluke! He lifted the armor, the silver armor was very dazzling in the light, and the whole person was extremely dazzling, "It's a good thing that the little doll has confidence, then it's okay, I'll see what you can do, if you can convince our seniors, I will immediately accept you as an apprentice!" ”

"Is what the general said true?" One of the youngest asked.

"It's more real than real gold!"

The little doll Yao shouted at King Yao on Su Yan's side: "Brother Huang, can you hear it, if I win General Miao, don't envy me for entering the barracks!" ”

Everyone present was stunned, who is this little doll?

King Yao laughed dryly twice and said to him, "If my father can agree, then the king will also be happy." ”

When Yan Miao heard this conversation, he knelt down on one knee in a panic: "Wei Chen doesn't know that it is the prince, please give me the sin!" ”

The little prince was also in the year of dancing spoons, and he was born very delicately, and a pair of smart big eyes looked at Yan Miao: "The general doesn't need to panic, I never like to oppress people with my identity, since I am competing here, I don't have to be restrained." This first game, it's up to me! As he spoke, he took the longbow from the squire's hand, drew it tremblingly, and aimed it at the distant target.

Whoosh –

Impartially, he shot at the trunk of a tree next to the target. He sighed and said, "Sure enough, archery is not my specialty, and it seems that there is no hope of entering the barracks!" After speaking, he looked at King Yao in disappointment, thinking that he could be comforted by this imperial brother, but he didn't expect him to take a big sip of wine with a wicked smile on his face.

Yan Miao sweated like rain, and rejoiced in his heart: if he really let him win and enter the barracks as he wished, His Majesty would not have to dismantle him in eight pieces!

Yan Zhen spread his hands and said: "Look, this is strength!" He stood up and applauded the Tianzi team, "General Yan Miao is worthy of being a veteran who has been on the battlefield for ten years, and he is not inferior to the young people of the moment. ”

General Yan Miao hurriedly waved his hand and said: "The general has praised it, if I can't even do this, how can I guard the gate of Kyoto?" But I also have to thank the general, if the general is my opponent, I will definitely lose, the general is always victorious, I can only look at it, dare not take credit! ”

Yan Zhen was complimented, and the compliment was so good that his heart blossomed. Only then did Su Yan understand why Yan Zhen had to change the rules, it turned out that he also saw that this group of little dolls and ghosts had a lot of ideas, and they used all kinds of 'tricks' in the woods to win narrowly, if they continued to indulge them, I am afraid that they would have to win in one go! So let them play archery hard, the little dolls are naturally not as good as the veterans who fall asleep with bows and arrows every day!

But Yan Zhen didn't calculate that Su Yan had already had a countermeasure.

Su Yan pretended to be deflated, pushed the money he had just won to Yan Zhen, and said in despair: "If you lose the first game, you have to go, it's no fun to compete anymore!" As she said that she was about to get up, her shoulders suddenly sank, and she heard someone say behind her: "The game is undecided, why rush to lose?" She didn't have time to turn back, a heavy bag of money had already been smashed in front of her, good guy, I'm afraid this bag must be half a year for the third-grade officials of the imperial court! I can't help but secretly rejoice, this is really God helping me, someone fell from the sky to help her act!

Then he patted his chest and said to everyone: "Although the first game made General Yan Miao narrowly win, but there are still two games, I, Su Yanke, will never look away, if you want to change your mind, it's still too late!" ”

Everyone looked at her in disgust, silent......

In this game, everyone is still the Tianzi team.

Because the Tianzi team won the first battle, they also shot arrows first in the second game, and this time it was Chen Xiaoyao, the general of the East Palace Praetorian Guard, who was also a person with great achievements, and someone in the crowd began to discuss in a whisper:

"It is said that this general has made meritorious contributions to the rescue and is a popular person in the East Palace!"

"It seems that last year, he stabbed the dead soldier to death with a sword, and His Majesty promoted him two levels in a row, and went directly to the prince to lead the Praetorian Guard in the East Palace!"

"Is he good at archery?"

"It shouldn't be bad, but I heard that General Chen's most powerful thing is hand-to-hand combat, and he still used a short sword to save His Majesty."

Su Yan raised his eyebrows, and he had a bottom in his heart.

The discussion stopped abruptly, only to hear a fierce sound from the other end, and there was already an arrow stuck in the target at sixty feet, but it was not in the middle of the red heart, but had just touched the bull's-eye.

How should this point be calculated?

Yan Zhen touched his chin and was a little embarrassed, thought about it for a long time, and said weakly: "This can also be counted as a ......."

"Let me say a few words." Su Yan stood up and protested: "Several members of the Tianzi team are brave and good generals, and the Xuanzi team is just three fledgling teenage children, and they are not all born gods of war like General Yan, wouldn't it be too unfair to demand the same standards?" ”

Yan Zhen had expected that she would be more serious, and if she were someone else, he would not care, but Su Yan was different, so he said to her: "What Mr. Su said also makes sense......

"Why didn't you bring it up in the first game, you obviously knew that you were going to lose, so you made a strong argument!" Someone in the crowd resisted.

Su Yan said: "Don't worry, everyone, I don't want to cheat, I just want to make a small request, so that the rules will not be broken." ”

Yan Zhen asked, "What requirements?" ”

"The general's arrow is impartially inserted at the edge of the bull's-eye, and Rong Guo's archery rules throughout the ages do not seem to have a judgment on this situation, so if you have to calculate the score, then as long as the arrow of the Xuanzi team falls on the edge of the bull's-eye, the Xuanzi team must win! Everyone is a senior, and it should be a junior, isn't it? ”

Someone mocked: "Humph! The Xuanzi team shot the arrow at the tree in the first game, do you still think it can hit the target in the second game? ”

Su Yan shrugged and said, "God knows, what if God yawns and looks away?" ”

The man sneered, not believing it at all.

Yan Zhen frowned and thought about it, this can't be Su Yan's trick, right?

General Chen waited a little impatiently, and said to Su Yan: "Don't talk about approaching the bull's-eye, if the little doll of the Xuanzi team can stick an arrow on the target, I will count him as a winner!" He laughed.

Su Yan arched his hand and said: "The general is humble, let's still follow the old rules, the arrows of the Xuanzi team must land near the bull's-eye to win." ”

General Chen looked at Su Yan suspiciously, not knowing where she got her confidence.

Su Yan gave the blue-clothed young man in the Xuanzi team a look, and the young man immediately raised his hand and said, "Junior Cai Song, please give me advice!" ”

Cai Chung?

Su Yan looked at the young man in blue, it turned out that he was the only seedling of the little Cai Chung, his father's friend Cai Hezong! After so many years, he is so old! Time flies, and it really feels like a world away.

To everyone's surprise, and even more to Su Yan's expectations, Cai Song's archery skills are not ordinarily stable and accurate, and this arrow is right in the bull's-eye!

Everyone was dumbfounded, and only the person who supported Su Yan spoke: "Look, everything is not a foregone conclusion, and there is still a turning point." ”

Yan Zhen pouted, unconvinced: "It's just a tie, it's too early to be happy, you can lose this third game, although my Tianzi team is now a civilian, but he was also a veteran of the battlefield, and the arrows he has shot with a bow are better than your Xuanzi team...... What's it called? ”

"Mu Chengji, the son of the junior Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, has seen the general." The white-clothed young man of the Xuanzi team smiled vigorously, and at the same time bowed to his words and deeds.

In the endgame, Mu Chengji competed with Hong Jing, the squire of the military department. Everyone clenched their fists nervously and gritted their teeth, waiting for the final final that would decide the outcome of the game.

Su Yan looked at them quietly, and didn't seem to be worried about losing, but Ah Yan was so anxious that he muttered to himself from time to time: "After all, Mu Gongzi is only practicing archery in the school field, how can he compare with the veteran who has been on the battlefield for a long time, the disparity in strength is too great!" Sir, why aren't you in a hurry at all, if we lose this time, we will be destitute! ”

Su Yan ignored her and still watched quietly.

On the string, Mu Chengji suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and the string in his hand had been stretched to the limit, but the bull's-eye in his eyes was a little erratic. There was a sudden force on his shoulder, and it was Su Yan who whispered in his ear: "Don't worry, calm your heart, and then look at the bull's-eye, don't hesitate." ”

"Mr. Su, if I lose, will I make you lose?"

Su Yan didn't expect that this child could still have some leisure at the critical moment to care about whether she lost money or not, and couldn't help but be a little moved, "You don't care if I win or lose, you are now competing, you are the key point of the Xuanzi team's turn, you can't be impetuous, you have to calm down." ”

He nodded, closed his eyes, and used Su Yan's method to calm his mind, and after a long time, he suddenly opened his eyes, and with all his strength, he pulled out his longbow and aimed at the bull's-eye, and with a whoosh, the feather arrow pierced the sky and landed steadily on the target.

Ah Yu breathed a sigh of relief, patted his chest and said, "It's okay, it's okay, at least I didn't anywhere else!" ”

When Wei Yao heard Ah Yan's words, he couldn't help but feel a little depressed: "People's arrows are already very close to the bull's-eye, I don't seem to be very satisfied with what you mean!" ”

Ah Yan said aggrievedly: "I can't understand the rules again, don't laugh at me!" As soon as he looked up, he saw that it was King Yao, his little face turned pale with fright, and he quickly apologized, "The prince atoned for his sins!" The slave and maid have no mouth, please atone for the sins of the prince! ”

"Ah Yan hasn't read a book and doesn't understand the rules, and I ask the prince to forgive me," Su Yan happened to see this scene, hurriedly came over to relieve the siege, saluted Wei Yao, and changed the topic: "Did the prince also suppress the Tianzi team?" ”

Wei Yao hurriedly straightened his position: "I have been Mr. Su's follower from beginning to end, I am optimistic about you!" ”

Su Yan's eyes lit up and asked him, "The prince really has a good eye, so ...... How much did the prince bet? ”

"Well...... Wei Yao scratched his head in embarrassment, and said with a smile: "I came out in a hurry, and I forgot to take the money!" ”

If you don't bet, you're embarrassed to say yes? Su Yan looked at him depressedly, but he couldn't show any displeasure, and he had to be grateful: "Haha!" It's okay, the prince just has his mind! ”

After that, he turned his face away, and didn't want to talk nonsense with him anymore.

The posture of Lord Hong of the Tianzi team was bluffing, I saw him take off his shirt, tie up his horse steps, and shout in a heavy dantian, almost using his strength to pull the bow out. At first glance, this bow is a little worn, but I heard other officials say that this bow was a weapon used by His Majesty to fight on the battlefield, and was later given to General Yan Miao.

But......

Su Yan was confident that Lord Hong's results would not be higher than Mu Chengji's, but he didn't expect that this former veteran, who was so miraculous in his mouth, actually shot an arrow on the ground! Everyone didn't dare to look directly at this spectacle, and they closed their eyes and choked their wrists.

Yan Zhen patted his thigh in annoyance: "This old man Hong is too deceitful, how did he fish in the troubled waters of the Tianzi team?" If I had known he was so useless, I should have kicked him out! ”

Su Yan couldn't help but smile and said to him: "Don't be angry, General Hong, Lord Hong has been slacking off for so many years, and his real kung fu is long gone, do you still expect him to win my young and strong back wave this front wave?" Wash and sleep! ”

"You play the inferior team against the superior team of the Tianzi team, then the superior against the opponent's medium, and finally the medium against their inferior...... You have borrowed the wisdom of the ancients and used it just right! The man behind him spoke again. Su Yan finally heard the voice, hurriedly turned around, and his eyes touched the placket of the person's clothes, and there was an inky cloud, connected to a piece of green bamboo, and the snow fell.

The snow scene in the memory is not rare, although the south has four distinct seasons, but the snow falls is not happy, only the snow scene of Rongguo is the ultimate beauty.

Every year in the middle of winter, Wakasui will be blizzard, and it will rain for three days in a row, and Kyoto will be wrapped in a vegetarian state. In the months before she left Beijing, Wei Zhen's brother would always come to the palace to play with her, wear honest clothes, eat the same meals as her, and then accompany her to build snowmen and have snowball fights. At that time, Aunt Yuhou was still alive, and Buddha still liked to talk...

Su Yan suddenly remembered, in fact, since that time, Emperor Rong seems to have been unkind to Wei Zhen, could it be that Wei Zhen's death was...

Su Yan retracted his gaze sadly. Many times, he has regarded Xilou as Wei Zhen, but he is not.

"What's wrong, aren't you happy to win?" Xilou stretched out a finger and flicked it on her forehead, smiling gently, "Look at your appearance, you won't be able to give up if you win once, fortunately you are not a man, if you are in high school, wouldn't you be happy and sad?" ”

As soon as the words ended, a series of laughter erupted from the crowd.

King Yao took Ah Yan, took her place, and said to Su Yan and Xilou: "Mr. Su is no worse than men, if the water is not as good as her!" ”

Someone chimed in: "Yes, I think that Mr. Su led the students to break into Dali Temple that day, how heroic and arrogant that remarks were!" ”

Su Yan was embarrassed to get up, and waved his hand modestly: "I have won awards, haha!" ”

Yan Zhen lost the money, not to mention, but also robbed the limelight, although this is his own sister, but his heart is somewhat panicked. According to his stinky temper, I'm afraid that I will take Su Yan out of anger early, but what...

At the end of the day, there was only a silent sigh.
