Li Zhi didn't dare to mention it again, but he was unwilling to leave like this, and stood aside dejectedly.

Pei Xiaoyuan didn't say anything more to drive him away, but after carefully taking care of the golden black horse and putting it back in the saddle, he returned to the water's edge and began to pack up the things on the shore in an orderly manner.

At this time, with a burst of cheers sounding again in the sky above the school field behind him, I saw Qingtou appear again in a hurry and rush here.

"Lang Jun! Pimp! He shouted.

"The first one is over! There are four people left! Prince Ashina's riding skills are excellent, and he has just made a big show on the field! He kicked his opponent off his horse, shot the first arrow to hit the target, and won! ”

"Lantai, He Du, and Fan Yiguang also won their opponents, and the four of them competed for the second time!"

"The lottery has also been drawn, Prince Ashina vs. Lantai, Prince Hedu vs. Fan Yiguang!"

After Qingtou finished reporting the latest results, he gasped for a while, and saw that his master was still unmoved, only standing on the shore, staring intently in the direction of the distance, and he didn't know what he was looking at.

He was stunned, paused again, and then saw Li Zhi on the side, because he was in a hurry to watch the battle again, he didn't care about saying anything else, he saluted Li Xu, turned around and ran back.

After Qingtou went, soon, it should be a new round of cavalry and archery battles. The two sides competed at the same time, and the cheers and cheers on the field came and went, and the sound was overwhelming for a while, so that the birds and finches in the woods by the river also flew out and fled one after another.

Li Yu silently accompanied his master on the side, motionless.

A moment later, with the sound of shouts from the field again, Qingtou also rushed forward again.

"Lang Jun! Pimp! ”

He let out a hissing roar and waved at him as he ran.

"The second time is over! And guess what—"

He rushed to Pei Xiaoyuan, confiscated his feet, and sat on the ground, and the person was even more out of breath, holding his stomach, which was aching, and coughed.

"What the hell? Who wins? ”

Li Yu hurriedly followed, stretched out his hand to pat him on the back, and asked in a loud voice.

Qingtou opened his mouth, snorting and panting, and finally took a breath back.

"Yes...... It was Prince Hedu who defeated Fan Jiaerlang! Prince Ashina was also brave and invincible, knocking out Lantai! ”

After Qingtou finished speaking, he coughed again.

In other words, the last time, the much-anticipated Qilin will be decided between Prince Ashina and Prince Hedu.

This result, to be honest, Li Yu was quite surprised.

Judging from the previous signs, the saint obviously preferred Lantai. Under this premise, no matter what, Lantai should not be out so early.

As for whether it depends on Lantai's own ability or some other "luck" factor, it is impossible to say.

Everyone knows this truth, which is why so many people are optimistic about Lantai and bet on him.

It's not so much that I believe in Lantai, but that I think about it.

Li Yu reacted, subconsciously looked at Pei Xiaoyuan, and found that he and Fang Cai's appearance was completely different.

He turned his head, his gaze solemn, and cast it in the direction of the school field, and the person remained motionless, as if he was thinking about something.

Slowly, his brow furrowed, and a heavy look of surprise appeared on his face.

"Master?"

Li Yu called him softly.

His eyes did not blink, as if he were concentrating on the noise of the various noises coming from the school grounds.

Li Yu didn't dare to speak again, and fell silent again.

At this moment, there was the sound of drumming again.

"Open...... Here we go! ”

Qingtou struggled and got up from the ground.

"Lang Jun, if you don't go again, in case you are won by the prince of Naxifan, Ye Xiaoniang ......"

He was beaten.

"Princess, she will suffer in the future!"

He howled angrily, his eyes reddened, abandoned his master, and ran towards the school yard again.

The drums stopped, and the noise of the audience slowly stopped, and finally, there was complete silence.

It's like a whole mountain, between heaven and earth, it's empty at the moment.

However, Li Yu knew that it was because in the school field not far away, everyone was holding their breath, waiting for the last mounted archery competition to begin.

"Master!"

A sense of anxiety welled up in his heart, and he couldn't hold back it anymore, and called out again.

At this moment, Pei Xiaoyuan had already turned his face abruptly and whistled towards Jin Wuqi.

The mount came running with his hooves raised, and he met it, and without even stepping on the stirrups, he flew straight onto the horse's back, followed closely, turned the horse's head, and galloped towards the school grounds.

Chapter 88

On the Suzaku school field, everyone's eyes were focused on the two riding shadows in the field at this moment.

Being able to pass all the way and stand out among many good players here, these two are naturally masters of masters, warriors of warriors, whether it is archery or skill.

But compared to He Du, who has attracted a lot of disgust because of his high self-esteem, Ashina's popularity is obviously much better.

Although in the last game, he unexpectedly eliminated Lantai, causing many people to lose money, but I hope to lose the bet, when the two urge each other to fight each other and start to compete for the first shot opportunity, whenever Ashina has the upper hand, the shouts and cheers on the field must continue.

It's obvious who wins the hearts of the people.

After He Du began to win the lottery, he riveted his strength and concentrated on the onslaught, so as to create an opportunity to take the lead.

Ashina's stature was already strong among men, but Hedu was even more than him.

Because there was no restriction on the clothes of the archers in this round, before he went on the field, he took off the right side of the court man's outer robe, changed into the left arm suit he was accustomed to wearing, and tied a thick palm-wide leather belt embedded with animal bones and gold plates, and the exposed shoulder was as big as a hill, and the arm muscles were even more bulging and knotted, like chestnut pieces. Whenever the two of them got close, he shook his fist and swung it towards Ashina, his fist was like an iron bowl, whirring the wind, if ordinary people were smashed, I was afraid that they would break their tendons and fractures on the spot, and they would fall to the ground.

Ashina is not as strong as Hedu, under his strong onslaught, it looks dangerous, but his riding skills are excellent, and his mount is like a man under his step, and he can always ride the horse to dismantle the attack in time every time, not only that, but also won a lot of applause because of his chic posture.

He Du was as strong as a bear, but he was not a brainless person who only knew how to attack, and when the strong attack did not work, he changed his strategy, no longer took the initiative to attack, and began to gallop towards the Qilin Terrace, looking for a suitable opportunity to shoot arrows.

The unicorn platform is ten zhang high, the Vermilion Bird school field is windy, although the color ball is solid, but it is still blown back and forth in the air by the wind, it is not easy to shoot, in addition to having a hundred steps through the archery, but also calculate the swing position of the color ball when the arrow arrives, the closer the arrow distance is, the better.

Ashina saw his intentions, and could not allow him to succeed, so he urged his horse to catch up immediately, and attacked He Du who was aiming at the sky with arrows from behind.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, I saw He Du leaning over to avoid his attack, and then, with a false move, the person flipped over on horseback, face to face with Chengping, and then split his hand and grabbed the bow.

Cheng Ping reacted quickly, immediately dodged, and hung his body on the side of the saddle.

This posture was ordinary to him. Just when everyone breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he could save the day again, an unexpected scene happened that no one expected.

Somehow, or by mistake in a hole in the ground, one of the front legs of his mount suddenly stumbled in the middle of the journey.

The accident happened almost in the blink of an eye, and the closest people around the school yard did not see what was going on, when they saw him fall with the horse's momentum, and the black iron horned bow flew out of his shoulder and landed on the ground a few feet away from him.

He Duying didn't expect his plan to work, he was stunned, reacted, ecstatic, how could he give the opponent a chance, seeing that Ah Shi was about to turn over and get up, he urged the horse and hurried towards the bow on the ground.

At the moment when Ashina jumped over and stretched out his hand to grab the horn bow, he had already arrived one step ahead, leaned down from the horse, snatched the horn bow on the ground with one hand, and then broke it.

One bow and four arrows, this is the standard for every archer who participates in today's big shooting.

In this final mounted archery competition, since Prince Ashina lost his bow, it was impossible for him to have any chance to compete with He Du to shoot the colored ball on the unicorn platform.

As He Du broke Ashina's horn bow, the huge school field, which was still full of shouts, turned silent.

"Win! I won! ”

He Du roared a few times, and then, unable to hold back the smug ecstasy in his heart, looked in the direction of the Vermilion Bird Terrace in the distance, saluted the beautiful shadow that shimmered with golden light under the canopy, and then turned to the stands, and with a demonstrative expression, he waved the broken bow in his hand at the officers and soldiers of the surrounding guards provocatively.

Ashina is already defeated, but he still has four arrows, and he is a master, and it is almost impossible to make him empty of all four arrows without interference. There will be no more variables about his victory today.

It's no wonder he was so proud that he started celebrating the victory in advance.

There was little harmony in the school grounds. Except for some of the guards who were friends with him and the Celestial Guards, who cheered excitedly with him, the rest of the people were silent, and no one spoke.

The hundreds of officials watching the battle looked at each other, unable to believe their eyes. When he reacted, there was a buzzing sound near Suzaku Terrace. Some people whispered to their colleagues next to them, while others secretly looked at the emperor and princess on the Suzaku Terrace, speculating how this matter would end today.

Could it really be that the princess will marry the victor of the day, the prince Zephant, as everyone expected before the great shooting?

After He Du finished celebrating, he was still unsatisfied, and drove his horse to Chengping's side, and circled him a few times, and the horse's hooves trampled on the ground dusty.

Cheng Ping didn't say a word, and endured the silent disappointment and reproach from his companions around him, slowly got up from the ground, stood still, closed his eyes, and let the dust fall on his head and face, motionless.

After He Du humiliated his opponent, Fang Da laughed and abandoned him, then urged the horse, and went towards the Qilin Terrace, and when he arrived at the stage, he stopped his horse, pulled out an arrow from his waist, pulled his bow and arrow, and was about to send an arrow, but suddenly stopped, turned his head and looked around proudly, retreated, and retreated to the open space a few zhang away, and then raised the bow again, towards the colored ball that was swinging with the wind on the high platform.

His move was to boast of his martial arts, to show everyone his archery skills, to show that he was not afraid of long-range shooting.

He squinted, looked at it for a moment, observed the direction of the wind and the swing speed of the colored ball, calculated the angle in his mind, got ready, let go suddenly, and the arrow instantly left the string and shot towards the colored ball in mid-air.

Suddenly, a feathered arrow flew across the air.

The arrow was extremely powerful, and if it was wrapped in the power of ten thousand jun, the arrow cluster tore through the air, making a whining sound of breaking the wind, and it caught up with the arrow sent by He Du in an instant.

Two arrows collided in the air.

With a short, crisp cracking sound, the horizontal arrow struck the shaft of the arrow sent by Hedu.

The rod broke in response, and the castration came to an abrupt halt, like a bird with broken wings, falling from the sky and falling on the ground not far from the Qilin Terrace.

The audience reacted and turned their heads to look in the direction of the arrow.

Under the sun, I saw a horse covered in black satin luster carrying a person, appearing in the north gate passage of the school field.

The man sat upright on horseback, dressed in the regular uniform of the military attaché of Jinwu, with a gold belt around his waist, a handsome face, a strong figure, and a strong bow in his hand, the bowstring still trembling slightly at the moment.

Obviously, the horizontal arrow that broke through the air just now was sent by this person.

"Pei Sicheng!"

Someone nearby shouted. Then, there was a commotion in the stands.

Soon, the noise on all sides turned into cheers, one after another, and the ears were endless.

It was like a fire suddenly ignited in a lifeless wilderness, and the fire spread rapidly and rose in all directions, bringing infinite light and hope.

As he appeared and released that arrow, the atmosphere in the school field was no longer depressed for a moment, and quickly turned into enthusiasm.

In the cheers that filled his ears, Chengping opened his eyes, stared at the figure who was riding a horse on the opposite side, and imperceptibly hooked the corners of his lips, revealing a look that seemed to be lost and relieved.
