Not later!

The spring festival is coming as scheduled.

"This is the spring festival of Zhao State, today, the whole country of Zhao will sacrifice to the gods through the spring festival ceremony, to our Zhao country can be smooth wind and rain, the people can eat well, and be safe." At the spring ceremony, King Zhao's voice sounded.

His words stirred up silence and awe in the crowd.

The annual Spring Festival is the highest respect for the gods of the people of Zhao Kingdom, and it is also a ritual for them to pray for peace and a good harvest from the forces of nature.

King Zhao's eyes swept through the crowd, and what he saw were pious faces, their eyes full of anticipation for the future and awe for the gods.

He felt a sense of pride and responsibility as the monarch of the Zhao State, which was his strength to lead the country and the people forward.

The ceremony was solemn and sacred.

The priests of the Zhao Kingdom wore ornate sacrificial robes and held sacrifices, leading the people to pray to the gods.

Those offerings included fresh fruit, carefully selected livestock, and a variety of grain and wine.

All eyes were on the solemn altar, the abode of the gods in their hearts and the destination of their wishes.

King Zhao stood in front of the altar, his gaze firm and eager.

This ceremony is not only a reverence and prayer for the gods, but also a test for him as the monarch of the Zhao State.

He needs to lead the people to the unknown challenges and lead them to a future of hope.

The climax of the ceremony came, and King Zhao walked up to the altar, holding the national emblem of Zhao State, which was a golden badge inlaid with precious stones, representing the dignity and glory of Zhao State, and bowed deeply to the sky, which was his reverence for the gods and his love for Zhao State.

Then, King Zhao lit the sacrifice, which was a gift to the gods and a hope for the future.

Smoke swirls in the air, carrying people's blessings and prayers, drifting towards the sky.

The ceremony began in a solemn and sacred atmosphere.

And King Zhao, standing on the altar, announced another thing after the Spring Festival, that is, horse racing.

Racehorse!

It has to be carried out every three years, and this time, it just so happens that Zhao Han is also there, and King Zhao naturally will not let go of the opportunity to let Zhao Han perform in front of everyone.

Therefore, Zhao Han also deeply understood the meaning of King Zhao.

"Okay, the next part is our turn to race the horse projection, and the participants need to shoot the arrow in their hands at the moving target on the horse, and the one with the highest score wins."

Horse racing projection?

Thinking about this matter together, Zhao Han felt a dilemma in his heart.

This is because many years ago, he used to race a horse to shoot, but he didn't hit a target, and ended up being made fun of.

This incident is still vivid.

Every time I thought about it, it made Zhao Han feel a thick humiliation in his heart.

As King Zhao's words fell, a burst of almost crazy laughter soon resounded in the crowd.

Obviously, these people remembered that many years ago, Zhao Han was embarrassed in front of everyone, seeing this, Zhao Heng secretly said in his heart: "Hmph! Zhao Han, a few years ago, you didn't even hit a target, this time, I will make you ugly in front of everyone again. ”

At this time, Zhao Heng, the third prince, took the initiative to stand up and said, "Father, I want to participate in this horse race, I don't know if the rules have changed?" ”

Hearing this, King Zhao said: "The rules are still the old rules, since you want to participate, then now you can choose one person as your opponent at will, but this person's identity must also be the prince." ”

The three princes bowed slightly! Evil smiled and said: "Father, I have thought about this person, I want to compete with the crown prince Zhao Han." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was stunned!

"What? The third prince actually wants to compete with the prince in horse racing and archery? Hahaha...... This is the third prince deliberately making the crown prince Zhao Han make a fool of himself! You must know that many years ago, Zhao Han didn't hit the target with an arrow. ”

"That's right, this Zhao Han's archery skills are as bad as a newborn chicken, hahaha......"

"Isn't it? I heard that in that competition, none of Zhao Han's arrows could hit the target, and even one arrow didn't know where to fly, hahaha......"

"Oh, this really makes people laugh out of their teeth, the third prince is so wonderful, using this method to make the prince ugly, it can be seen how much he hates the prince!"

"Of course, the third prince is extremely smart, and this move will undoubtedly make the prince lose face in front of everyone. However, perhaps this is what the third prince wants, and he wants to completely eliminate the possibility of the crown prince competing for the throne. "

"Well, that's a pretty ruthless move. But I think that no matter how bad Zhao Han's archery skills are, he wouldn't dare to deliberately miss in front of so many people, after all, it would be a shame to throw to the ground. "

"Not really. Back then, Zhao Han didn't hit the target with an arrow, wasn't it because the horse suddenly lost control, making Zhao Han lose his balance? This time, if the third prince repeats his old tricks, Zhao Hanke will be in trouble again. "

"Oh, look at what you said, Zhao Han seems to have lost. Maybe Zhao Han has practiced archery skills over the years, and this time he will definitely be able to surprise the third prince. "

"Practiced? Judging from his performance last time, I think he practiced for nothing even if he practiced. It is estimated that in this competition horse racing and archery, the three princes won again. "

Everyone talked about it, and there were all kinds of speculations, but without exception, they were not optimistic about the crown prince Zhao Han.

In the face of everyone's disapproval, Zhao Han's face was as usual, his calm appearance made the three princes who looked at him stunned for a while, but remembering Zhao Han's appearance in front of everyone before, the three princes immediately regained their confidence.

"Zhao Han, I'm going to compete with you in horse racing and archery, I don't think you will refuse, right?" The third prince said very playfully.

At this time, there was a sigh in the field.

"Humph! If I directly refuse the provocation of the third prince, it will be better than being embarrassed in front of everyone. ”

"Yes! I guess Zhao Han didn't dare to agree to compete with the third prince. ”

“……”

Almost everyone didn't believe Zhao Han, but Zhao Han believed in himself.

This time, he is bound to regain the face he lost many years ago, and he will also make the third prince make a fool of himself in front of everyone.

At this time, Zhao Han didn't think too much about it, looked at the third prince with burning eyes, and said, "Okay, I can promise you, but I have one condition." ”

Hearing this, the three princes and everyone were stunned!

"What, Zhao Han actually agreed to compete with the third prince? He's just looking for death! Ha ha...... It's no wonder that others, it's because he doesn't have self-knowledge, and he can't make a long memory of being ugly many years ago, and it's also pitiful. ”

"Yes, it seems that Zhao Han is bound to lose this time. It's a pity that he is going to be teased again! The man next to him sighed.

Just when everyone was talking about Zhao Han's worries, a crisp voice suddenly sounded, "You don't have to worry, I'll be fine." ”

Everyone looked at the stage, it turned out to be Zhao Han?

At this time, the third prince is also a little confused about Zhao Han's self-confidence, this guy, who gave him the confidence, how confident you are now, and how miserable you will be next.

The third prince sneered: "The condition you said is not that you think that many years ago, you failed to shoot the target because of your mother, right?" Rest assured, this time we are using the best horses, there is absolutely no problem, if we can, we can compete now! ”

Zhao Han shook his head and said, "No! ”

The third prince was surprised, "What's that?" ”

Zhao Han replied: "This time, if anyone loses, whoever will kneel on the ground and want the other party to kneel and knock, this is my condition, do you dare to agree?" ”

Hearing this, everyone was stunned, and then the third prince couldn't help laughing, and the people watching the excitement also began to laugh.

"Hahaha...... Isn't this Zhao Hanmo crazy, he even thinks he can win? Amusing! ”

"Yes! It's really self-aware, and he kneels and knocks three times, because he thinks he has lost too little face! ”

However, Zhao Han would not take anyone's ridicule to heart.

After everyone calmed down, Zhao Han said again: "What? Don't you dare? ”

This made the third prince almost not laugh, he looked down on Zhao Han completely in his heart, and even felt that Zhao Han would definitely lose this time, so the third prince said very contemptuously: "What don't you dare, I want to thank you for coming up with such a good way, and when you lose, I hope you will knock your head firm." ”

Zhao Han did not answer this.

Instead, King Zhao looked at Zhao Han with eager eyes and said, "Prince, do you have a chance of winning?" ”

Zhao Han bowed slightly, nodded and said, "Father, although I am not very good at horseback, I am still very accurate in archery, so my father does not have to worry about Han'er." ”

Hearing this, King Zhao nodded slightly.

King Zhao said again: "However, you don't need to bet so much, right? ”

Zhao Han smiled at King Zhao, "There will be a good show to watch, let's wait and see!" ”

On the side, Zhao Heng snorted lightly, "Hmph! Fun? Isn't it really nice to play like a monkey? ”

Without further ado, soon!

The competition is about to begin.

In the past, the horse was manipulated and tampered with, so there was a situation where the shot was inaccurate, and this incident has always become a stalk in Zhao Han's heart.

At this time, Zhao Han clenched his fists tightly and vowed to recover all the previously lost faces in this game.

He gritted his teeth fiercely, fantasizing about what kind of pleasure Zhao Heng would be when he knelt in front of him three times and nine knocks?
