He slowly turned his head, glanced at the beautiful shadow on the Vermilion Bird Terrace, then closed his eyes, led his horse, and quietly withdrew.

At this time, the emperor on the Vermilion Bird Stage, who had always been expressionless, finally moved. He turned his face and looked at the princess beside him with a complicated gaze.

She always sat upright, holding a fan, calmly and still. Whether it was when Fang Caihe was showing off his victory, or at this moment when Pei Xiaoyuan suddenly appeared.

"Pei Sicheng! What do you mean? ”

After Pei Xiaoyuan stopped in front of him, He Du finally came back to his senses.

His gaze swept over the broken arrow that landed in front of the Qilin platform, and he tried his best to suppress the anger rising in his heart, and questioned loudly.

Pei Xiaoyuan took his bow and dismounted, and bowed to him to apologize.

"I was also on the list of today's big salutes, but I couldn't come in time this morning because of other things, so I had to do it, and I hope the prince will forgive me." He smiled.

He Du sank his face and did not respond.

Pei Xiaoyuan's expression was calm, and he turned to the stunned celebrant in the field, who was also saluting, and then said loudly: "Pei is late, although it is a mistake, but as a person in my army, I also know the principle of 'Wufu and Gonghou Gancheng'. Fang Caiqi witnessed the heroic appearance of Prince Hedu with his own eyes, and he admired him very much, so he didn't measure himself, hoping to have a discussion with him, and hoped for permission. ”

The celebrant woke up, looked at him and He Du, and knew that this matter was definitely not up to him, so he had a plan in his heart, and he smiled when he was busy, and returned the salute: "Pei Sicheng wait." ”

He walked quickly to King Si Ning today, and changed Pei Xiaoyuan's meaning.

King Ning had already heard Pei Xiaoyuan's words, nodded, told him to wait, walked to the front of the Vermilion Bird Terrace, and was about to make a report, when a man wearing a fur hat and braided hair on the nearby guest seat stood up suddenly, walked out, saluted the emperor and King Ning, and protested first: "Today's competition, everyone present can see clearly, the prince of our country has passed the test, is invincible, and has lost many people in a row, and this is the last time." Pei Sicheng himself has been delayed for a long time, if he is allowed to insert it out of thin air, what is the fairness? If Your Majesty agrees, I will not accept it! We're all unconvinced! ”

The person who spoke was none other than the envoy of Xifan. As his words fell, the officials and warriors of Xifan who were with him jumped up one after another, shouting in disbelief.

The atmosphere suddenly turned solemn.

The opposition of the people of the Western Fan country was also expected. King Ning glanced at the emperor and was thinking about how to reply, when another person in the guest table got up and strode over.

Everyone looked and saw that it was the envoy of Anguo.

After the envoy saluted, he said in a loud voice: "The emperor of my holy dynasty set up a big shot today for the purpose of selecting a unicorn warrior. What is Kirinshi? The most outstanding warrior among 10,000 people! Not only that, but also a gentleman who knows the truth of 'sending but not hitting, but seeking for himself'! ”

After speaking, he turned to the envoy of Xifan: "Do you know what it means to send but not hit and seek for yourself?" ”

Although the envoys of Xifan can also speak Chinese, how can they know this kind of literary crepe, and they paused for a while.

An Guo envoy said: "I will teach you once, that is, if you can't shoot, don't blame others, but know your own shortcomings and correct them, which is in line with the humility and courtesy advocated by today's big shooting." That being the case, why can't Prince Hedu accept Pei Sicheng's bidding offer? ”

He was an envoy of a vassal country, and he was so familiar with the classics, and he came to understand it in a good way, which was really surprising.

Some of the surrounding court officials cheered.

The envoy of Anguo hurriedly saluted and thanked everyone, and then sneered twice.

"Could it be that the prince is afraid of defeat? Everyone present could see it clearly, if Prince Ashina hadn't stumbled on his mount, how could he have been defeated so easily? In Xiao Wang's view, Prince Hedu just picked up a bargain and won without martial arts. Shouldn't a real archer ask his opponent to start over again to prove his skills? ”

Anguo had been oppressed by the invasion of Western Tibet in the past, if it weren't for the Holy Dynasty to defeat Xifan, I'm afraid there would still be no good life, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was an enemy.

The envoy of Xifan reprimanded angrily: "Do you think I don't know? You were taken hostage by the rebels that day, and it was the man who saved you! You deliberately came out to quibble in order to repay your kindness, intending to sabotage the good deeds of my prince? ”

Anguo Envoy Jun pointed at He Du and said, "Speaking of life-saving grace, I was reminded by you." Prince Hedu was also trapped at the bottom of the valley that night, and if Pei Sicheng hadn't arrived, it was uncertain what would have happened to him that night. Even if I repay the grace of saving my life, is it wrong? ”

As soon as he finished speaking, many people around him burst into laughter. The envoy of Xifan was so angry that his face turned pale, he paused, left the envoy of Anguo, and turned to the emperor and King Ning: "Please Your Majesty and His Royal Highness King Ning, who is shooting today, make a fair decision, so that we can be convinced!" ”

At this moment, Pei Xiaoyuan stepped forward, and in front of everyone's eyes, he took out the four feather arrows inserted in his waist, divided one, and put the other three together, and then, with a slight force, "click", all the waists were broken, and then they were thrown to the ground.

He turned to Hedu: "I want to challenge you!" But I'm late, I'm at a loss, and in order to show my sincerity, I'm willing to have only one chance! ”

Facing the wind from the depths of Cangshan Mountain hovering over the school field, he raised the remaining arrow in his hand and looked at He Du with his eyes.

"But I don't know, does Prince Hedu dare to answer me?"

He asked questions word by word, and his voice spread in the wind, sending it into the ears of Hedu, and into the ears of many people around him.

The audience fell silent again. Under the gaze of tens of thousands of eyes, He Dumeng pulled out two arrows from behind him, and just like the person opposite, he broke them, and there was only one arrow left on his body, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Come on!" Am I afraid of you? Just ask me to learn again, what are you capable of! ”

Xifan was defeated and forced to surrender, He Du thought highly of himself, how could he really be convinced by this young man who had defeated him on the battlefield? At this moment, he is so openly challenged, don't say that he is confident that he will not be defeated, even if his real skills are not as good as others, it is impossible to retreat.

Pei Xiaoyuan smiled, slowly clenched his fists and stopped in front of his chest, shook them to show respect for his opponent, and then summoned Jin Wuqi, turned over, and galloped to the center of the school field.

He Du followed closely.

In the boiling noise of the resurgence, the duel between the two began.

This race was completely different from the last game when He Du was against Ashi, and he rode his horse to collide directly at the beginning, hitting hard, without any temptation or maneuvering.

After Jin Wuqi carried his master on the field, he seemed to feel the surging battle intent from all directions, and he was ready to move for a long time, and at this moment, he was rampage under the control of his master, without fear. He Duna's mount is also a divine horse, but after facing Jin Wuqi a few times, it seems that he has also begun to be afraid of the domineering spirit of the enemy horse. After five or six rounds of wrong horses, He Du felt the retreat of his mount, and kicked the horse in the belly hard, forcing the horse to collide again.

Just as the two horses were facing each other and staggering again, he suddenly changed his fist and lowered his thumb to the eye of the opponent's mount.

The rule is only against the use of swords, and does not prohibit attacking opponents' mounts. If he can succeed, it will not be considered a violation. As for the so-called Tao and righteousness that are admired by the Holy Dynasty, he doesn't understand it, and it is worthless in his eyes.

As long as you can win, you can do anything. This is the way of survival of the Xifan people, which is why Ashina fell off his horse because of his mount in the last race, not only did he not stop, but took the opportunity to seize the bow.

Pei Xiaoyuan had dealt with the Xifan people a lot before, so he was naturally no stranger to this. He Du shot as hard as he could, and he sensed his intentions.

He loved the golden black horse, how could he have caused his beloved mount to suffer such a deadly attack, and he suddenly lifted the reins and turned the horse's head stiffly. However, He Du's move was indeed ruthless and fast, and he couldn't completely avoid it in a hurry. Pei Xiaoyuan used his body to block He Du's attack.

With a bang, he took Hedu's fist on one shoulder.

Although he was on guard, when the punch fell, he had unloaded a lot of force, but the remaining strength of this punch was still fierce. Pei Xiaoyuan only felt a sharp pain in his shoulders and back. After a while, I turned around and saw that He Du had already taken the opportunity to rush towards the Qilin Terrace.

At this time, God seemed to be helping Hedu, and the wind in the school field stopped.

He urged his horse to the bottom of the stage, and at the same time, with great speed, he drew his bow, mounted the arrow, and turned his back to aim at the quietly resting colored ball above, seizing this perfect opportunity like a godsend, to release the arrow.

At this time, Pei Xiaoyuan also turned his horse again, and the golden black horse hurriedly chased after him. The four hooves of the golden black horse galloped like the wind, almost not landing.

Just a moment before He Du's fingers moved slightly, ready to release the arrow, in the exclamation of the audience, Pei Xiaoyuan flew over from the horse, reached out his arm, grabbed He Du's arms that were releasing arrows from behind, twisted his strength, and took He Du from the horse, and the two fell to the ground together.

The two sides are already fighting red eyes, each throwing a bow, hand-to-hand combat, each back and forth. During the grappling, He Du took advantage of his size and finally restrained Pei Xiaoyuan under him.

Just as he clenched his fist and was about to slam it into Pei Xiaoyuan's face, Pei Xiaoyuan suddenly straightened up and slammed his head into He Du's jaw.

He was unprepared, screamed in pain, his teeth burst into his lips and tongue, and his mouth was full of blood.

Pei Xiaoyuan succeeded with one blow, and then, no longer giving him any chance to counterattack, bent his elbow, and slammed into He Du's temple.

The head and face were hit hard one after another, and no matter how ruthless He Du was, he couldn't bear it, and he almost fainted, fell to the ground, and couldn't move for a while.

Pei Xiaoyuan looked at He Du, who was slowly squirming under his feet, his face was covered with pain, he raised his hand, wiped the blood that oozed from the corner of his mouth, turned around and walked away.

At this moment, He Du on the ground suddenly opened his eyes wide, and with all his strength, he raised his foot from behind and kicked Pei Xiaoyuan heavily.

If he kicks him this time, he is afraid that his leg bone will be broken on the spot.

In the exclamations that sounded around him again, Pei Xiaoyuan avoided the leg swept by He Du, did not look back, and only continued to walk towards the place where he had just put his bow.

He Du was really a ruthless person, and when he missed a sneak attack, he actually made him stagger to stand up from the ground again, gritted his teeth and pounced again, hugged Pei Xiaoyuan from behind, and exerted his strength to knock him to the ground.

Pei Xiaoyuan finally showed anger on his face, grabbed one of He Duzheng's arms that was clutching his waist with both hands, and twisted it violently.

In a heart-rending scream, He Du's arm was twisted out of his shoulder socket, and the person fainted on the spot in pain.

Pei Xiaoyuan slowly exhaled, stepped again, walked, leaned over and picked up the bow and arrow on the ground, and stood in place.

At this time, the wind rose again over the school field.

He raised his head, quietly looked at the colorful ball in the air that was blown by the wind and swayed for a moment, opened his bow and arrows, slowly raised it, and after aiming, calmly fired the arrow.

The arrow deflected and flew into the air. He jumped on horseback.

Jin Wuqi led him to gallop forward, and before the multicolored ball fell from the unicorn's mouth and landed, he had also arrived, reached out, and caught it steadily.

After a few breaths of silence, the audience suddenly erupted in a high-pitched cheer.

Jin Wuwei's people were even more ecstatic, and many people didn't even care about the emperor's presence, rushed into the school grounds, came to Pei Xiaoyuan's side, and couldn't help but say, pulling others off the horse's back and lifting them high, in order to express their excitement and celebration.

General Fan Ximing and others also came over one after another to congratulate Han Kerang. Han Kerang was extremely humble on the surface, and even said that he would accept and accept, and when Fan Ximing and the others went, he wiped the sweat from his forehead, and the more he thought about it, the more proud he became, and finally couldn't help it, and he looked up to the sky and laughed alone.

Suddenly, at this time, I don't know who started it, and someone in the field shouted for a horse. Soon, the cry grew louder and overpowered all the rest. After a while, like a stream of water, it became the same sound.

"Pony—"

"Pony—"

"Pony—"

This wave was sent by 10,000 people, and it was uniform and shook the heavens and the earth. At that end, King Ning also led the consul to the throne.

The deacon took off a gold plate and loaded the colored ball, and respectfully presented it to the emperor.

The emperor's gaze fell on the colored ball, stared for a moment, then turned his face and glanced at the princess, and then, he gritted his teeth, as if he had finally made up his mind, and the king of Chaoning bowed slightly.

With a smile on his face, King Ning returned to the shooting platform and signaled the audience to silence.

The cries in the school yard slowly stopped. The excited Jin Wuwei also put Pei Xiaoyuan down and returned to their respective positions.

King Ning immediately announced loudly that the Qilin Shi who saluted today was the captain of the light car, the general of Jin Wuwei Zhonglang, and the secretary of Lu Wusi, Pei Xiaoyuan.

After he said this, he paused, looked around the school field, and finally landed on the figure in the field.

"Pei Xiaoyuan, come forward and listen to the seal!"

Pei Xiaoyuan froze down, and under the gaze of countless pairs of envious eyes around him, he walked to the front of the Vermilion Bird Terrace and bowed down to the front.

"The words of the sage, Pei Xiaoyuan was summoned to the court, fulfilled his duties, and made many achievements. As for Chen Wei's case, it is even more meritorious, both inside and outside the court, which is obvious to all. Participate in the big shot today, win the color of the unicorn, for the handsome man, Your Majesty is very happy, special decree, Pei Xiaoyuan Kanshang Princess, the title of the horse captain, choose a day to get married, then amnesty to the world, in order to show the grace of heaven! ”

Pei Xiaoyuan bowed to thank him and ordered him to get up.

Hundreds of officials got up from their seats, led the whole audience, bowed to the emperor, shouted long live the mountain, finished, turned to Pei Xiaoyuan to salute, and called the horses together.

Pei Xiaoyuan stood in the center of 10,000 people.

If it weren't for the remnants of some real pain in his lips and body from the vicious fight just now, he almost felt that everything that was happening in front of him felt as if it was a dream that was completely out of his control.

Slowly, he looked at her from afar, still sitting under the umbrella.

She covered half of her face with a fan, revealing only those clear eyes that were as colorful as autumn water.

Separated by countless heads in the middle, at the moment when her eyes met him, her eyes blinked slightly, as if there was a gentle light that he was familiar with and belonged to the little lady Ye, flashing from her eyes.

Pei Xiaoyuan only felt that his breathing was stagnant, and his chest was extremely sore.

It was a faint, sweet and bitter feeling.

He closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, she had risen from her seat, and disappeared from his sight, accompanied by the guard of honor.

Chapter 89

The noisy day faded away.
