Chapter 123: Lose Decently!
Shoot!
This is one of the six arts of a gentleman.
Among them, there are five kinds of archery skills, namely: White Arrow, Shenlian, Yan Zhu, Xiang Ruler, and Jing Yi.
White Arrow: The arrow pierces the target and the arrow turns white, indicating that the arrow is accurate and powerful.
Connection: put a arrow in front, and the last three arrows go continuously, and the arrows belong to each other, if the beads are connected.
Note: It is said that the arrow is sick, the aiming time is short, and the arrow is released and hit.
Xiang ruler: the minister and the king shoot, the minister and the king stand side by side, let the king retreat one foot.
Jingyi: The four vectors are coherent, and they all hit the target.
In the Spring and Autumn Period, "archery" was not a simple competition to show archery skills, but was characterized as a "gentleman's dispute", which was a method of self-cultivation and cultivation of gentlemanly demeanor.
Competition and self-cultivation seem to conflict, but it is the perfect combination of ancient "shooting".
From the content of the shooting, we can see that "shooting" is to tell the shooter to be calm, not to insist on winning or losing the game, and to reflect on himself from himself.
This kind of "fighting" has neither the ugliness of tearing the skin of the face, nor the false flattery of the heart, but everywhere shows the demeanor and posture that a gentleman should have, which can be described as extremely beautiful.
Zhu Di proposed five shots without coming to the stage, which can be regarded as a very ingenious way to deal with it.
And Zhu Di also took advantage of the situation to pull Zhu Xiongying in, so that Zhu Xiongying, who was originally going to arch the fire and watch the fire from the other side, caught fire.
He and Lao Seventeen have been training kung fu since they were young, and the two are now stationed at the border pass, killing enemies on the battlefield, and of course archery is no longer a problem.
Compared with the two of them, they may be able to compete with each other.
But now that Zhu Xiongying is brought in, isn't this bullying?
Because Zhu Xiongying has been living in the folk since he was eight years old, it would be good to be able to read well, let alone learn martial arts, after all, he was poor and rich in martial arts.
Zhu Di's words made all eyes fall on Zhu Xiongying.
At this time, the Huaixi generals led by Lan Yu also saw the situation here and surrounded them one after another.
"Why, don't you dare?"
Zhu Di looked at Zhu Xiongying with a smile on his face.
Before Zhu Xiongying could speak, Lan Yu stepped forward: "King Yan, I'll compare with you!" I want to see how strong King Yan, who followed me back then, is today! ”
In the Northern Expedition that year, Lan Yu was in command, and King Yan was the deputy marshal.
It can be said that many of King Yan's skills were learned from Lan Yu, especially in the war in the bitter cold land of the north.
And of course King Yan also knows that Lan Yu is the prince's die-hard loyalist, and now that the prince is dead and the grandson is on the throne, it is natural for Lan Yu to do his best to protect the grandson.
Lan Yu stirred up like this, so that King Yan had no choice.
However, he still wanted to be sarcastic, after all, this was Zhu Xiongying's arch of fire, but Lan Yu came to the end.
But before he could speak, he saw Zhu Xiongying speak: "Okay, I'll compare with you!" ”
"Your Highness......"
Lan Yu wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Zhu Xiongying: "General Lan, retreat!" ”
"Oops!"
Lan Yu sighed anxiously, approached Zhu Xiongying, and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, what kind of archery skills are you competing with him?" Let me come, Your Highness, you can't win against him! ”
"I know you want to show your strength in front of King Yan, but there is no need to do this, everything must be done according to your ability!"
Zhu Xiongying didn't bother to say more.
He can't say that he has signed in on the bank of the Qinhuai River for ten years, and all his skills have been full, so when it comes to archery, he says second, and no one dares to call him first.
Zhu Xiongying ignored Lan Yu's words, but looked at Zhu Di and Zhu Quan, and said, "Since we want to compare, then how about we add some more color?" ”
"Oh?"
Zhu Di raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Of course it's good, what about you!" ”
Of course Zhu Quan is happy, he has long wanted to show it well, and now that the imperial grandson is down, the audience is watching, of course he has to follow to the end, grinning: "Okay!" What color does Your Highness want to add, I will follow King Ning to the end! ”
Hearing this, Zhu Xiongying also smiled and said: "I have long heard that the sons of the fourth uncle and the seventeenth uncle are the most elite warriors in our Ming Dynasty, I am full of admiration, why don't we gamble this time, how about it?" ”
"People?"
Zhu Di and Zhu Quan were both slightly stunned.
Zhu Xiongying said with a smile: "Yes, Uncle Seventeen's Duoyan Sanwei are all brave and good fighters, and there are countless capable people under Uncle Four, but I am most optimistic about Uncle Four's left guard Zhang Fu, our uncle and nephew are three to one and win, Uncle Seventeen's Duoyan Sanwei warrior, and Zhang Fu, belong to me, how about it?" ”
"Huh-"
Zhu Di laughed, of course he knew Zhang Fu's potential, this person was the eldest son of Zhang Yu, the commander of Yanshan's left guard, tall and strong, not smiling, and with a resolute and majestic personality.
This father and son are under his command, and he is very optimistic about these two fathers and sons, especially Zhang Fu.
It's just that Zhang Fu hasn't had the opportunity to make war exploits now, so Zhu Di took him with him as a guard, once he has the opportunity, he believes that Zhang Fu will be able to become his reliable right-hand man.
However, Zhu Di is very strange, Zhang Fu is not famous now, how did this imperial grandson know that he was a piece of jade?
Just thinking about it, I saw Zhu Xiongying smile and said, "Why, don't dare?" ”
Zhu Xiongying returned Zhu Di's words just now to Zhu Di as they were, which made Zhu Di smile and asked, "Then who is Your Highness?" ”
Zhu Xiongying lightly spit out two words: "Tie Xuan!" ”
Hearing this, Zhu Di was slightly stunned.
Tie Hyun is a person, of course he has heard of it.
Guozi was born in both civil and military affairs, and when he was appointed to the governor's office, he broke many unsolved cases.
This man is indeed a young talent.
If you can get it, the two young people with Zhang Fu and Yiwen will become their right-hand men in the near future.
He didn't expect that the imperial grandson would actually take out such a young talent, which was indeed a good lottery, so he had no reason to refuse.
But...... That's stupid!
Because, I, Zhu Di, have won!
Zhu Di was proud in his heart, but his face was impassive, and he said with a smile: "I agree with the proposal of the grandson, what about you, old seventeen?" ”
"Me?"
Zhu Quan grinned: "Of course I am...... Follow! Haha......"
"Good!"
Zhu Xiongying waved his hand and said to the left and right: "Go and prepare!" ”
"Yes!"
Take the orders left and right and go to prepare the props needed for the five shots......
On the other side, the Huaixi generals gathered together all shook their heads and sighed slightly.
Chang Sheng shook his head and said, "The imperial grandson used to look very stable, why can't he stabilize it today?" ”
Jingchuan Hou Cao Zhen answered: "Yes, His Royal Highness Taisun has never even been on the battlefield, what do you compare with King Ning?" Not to mention King Yan! ”
Everyone, you say a word, and you don't mean to be optimistic about Zhu Xiongying.
"Enough!"
Lan Yu snorted lightly: "Don't fucking sigh again, think of a way, let His Highness lose more decently!" ”
