That's right!" Kulie nodded approvingly, "If you can break your opponent's confidence with one arrow, you can win without a fight." There is no better archery in the world than having no arrow in your hand and an arrow in your heart. It seems that your master has taught you all good things, I wonder how much you have learned?"

Seeing that Hu Lie was not frightened by his eloquent talk, but turned passive into active, and put on a profound posture of a senior in the arrow world in a few words, opposing his ear and face, Li Haitang's heart couldn't help but mutter: "This Hu Lie ...... Is it a bluff, or is it emboldened?"

"Five hearts in three arrows...... The implication is very good, and this king is very interested. Hu Lieyun asked lightly, "I don't know if you or me come first?"

"Since this method is proposed by me, of course, it is up to me to throw bricks and stones. Li Haitang gathered his mind and said, "Please send someone to place the beams and hang the copper coins......"

"Don't be so troublesome!" Wang Dechen interrupted with a wave of his hand, "It takes time and effort to place the beam, and Ben Shuai has an easier way." ”

"What's the method?"

"Yin Zhan, call a few slaves over. ”

"Yes!"

Under the confused eyes of Li Haitang, Liu Xunyi and others, Yin Zhan took the order and left, and after a while, he led more than a dozen ragged slaves back to the venue.

These slaves, both men and women, old and young, were gray-faced, skinny, and looked very pitiful.

Seeing this scene, the Mongolian people, who seemed to have expected the result, shouted excitedly one after another, and most of the foreign envoys and businessmen looked curious and jumped to watch. As for Liu Xunyi and the others, they were solemn, and a hint of foreboding vaguely rose in their hearts.

"They are all Han Chinese, and they were captured during the war with us. Wang Dechen introduced with a smile, "Many of them were once high-ranking officials and nobles, but unfortunately the Great Song Dynasty couldn't keep them, so they could only live in the grassland as our slaves." ”

As soon as these words came out, many foreign envoys subconsciously let out a burst of exclamation, and the eyes that looked at Liu Xunyi and others gradually showed a hint of playfulness.

"Marshal Wang, what does this mean?" Liu Xunyi's face sank like water, and his tone was as cold as ice, "Could it be that you want to make a living person a target?"

"Ben Shuai is never strong, I let them choose. Wang Dechen walked leisurely in front of a dozen trembling slaves and jokingly said, "If any of you is willing to help, Ben Shuai can return his freedom and let you go home." ”

As soon as Wang Dechen's words came out, the eyes of more than a dozen slaves lit up, and the originally sluggish spirit instantly became excited.

"Wang ...... Is Commander-in-Chief Wang's words serious?"

"The Great Khan and the prince are here, how dare Ben Shuai say nothing but not believe it?" Wang Dechen laughed loudly, "But you have to think clearly, the arrow has no eyes, although you are not a target, but there is a possibility that someone will be injured by mistake......

"We do!"

Before Wang Dechen's words fell, more than a dozen slaves had already knelt on the ground, scrambling to recommend themselves.

Seeing this scene, Liu Xunyi's heart felt a pang of cramping for no reason. Seeing that they would rather risk the danger of dying than to get rid of the fate of slaves, it is not difficult to guess that the life of these people in the grassland must be like a year, or even life is worse than death.

"Not too many, pick three first. In case something happens to someone, find someone to make up for it. ”

With that, Wang Dechen looked back and forth with interest over a dozen slaves, and stretched out his hand to a woman who was pregnant with Liujia, an old man with a withered description, and a weak girl.

The three slaves selected by Wang Dechen seemed random, but they were actually the result of his careful consideration.

First, the three of them are different in height, shortness, fat and thinness, which undoubtedly increases the difficulty of the competition. Of the two, these three people are powerless, whether they are released or killed, it is not a loss to their masters. The three, the three slaves, the old and the young, the weak, and the weak, are all Han Chinese, and they have a natural affinity with Li Haitang in terms of race. With them as the target, the pressure in Li Haitang's heart must be far greater than that of Su Li.

Sure enough, when Li Haitang silently watched the tireless Wang Dechen place the three slaves one by one, the hand holding the iron bow clenched a few points again until the bone joints turned white and clicked.

Yin Zhan pulled a silver thread from the old man's head, and turned to Wang Dechen and asked, "Marshal Wang, do you tie your hair to their hands?"

"No!" Wang Dechen gently tugged his hand on his ear and said with a wicked smile, "pierce their ears for them, tie their hair to their earlobes, and put copper coins on the sides of their necks." ”

"Shhh

Wang Dechen's proposal not only made Liu Xunyi and other Han people change their faces, but also surprised Hu Lie and other Mongolians.

The hair is tied to the earlobe, and the copper coin hangs down the side of the neck, indicating that the hair hanging from the copper coin is much shorter than everyone expected, and is close to the cheek and neck.

Hu Lie frowned slightly, and hesitated: "This ...... Wouldn't it be too dangerous?"

"The most dangerous thing is the death of a few slaves. ”

Wang Dechen didn't care, and instead turned his respectful gaze to the Mongol Great Khan in the distance. Seeing that his heart was like stopping water and his face was expressionless, the smile on Wang Dechen's face became more and more brilliant, and he didn't worry too much about what he wanted to say.

"Lord Wang, everything is ready. ”

Placing the hair, copper coins, and bullseye one by one, Yin Zhan shouted at Wang Dechen from a thousand steps away.

Hearing this, Li Haitang's eyes suddenly changed, and he turned his head to look at the three slaves who were trembling with tears due to extreme fear, and his hand holding the bow and arrow trembled slightly.

"Begonia, don't treat them as living people, only treat them as dead things. It's business as usual, don't get cranky!"

Liu Xunyi saw Wang Dechen's plan to "punish the heart", and saw that Li Haitang had no owner, and the six gods were uneasy, so his heart sank, and he hurriedly opened his mouth to appease.

"Despicable villain!" Feng Tianba cursed indignantly in a low voice, "He actually used the old and weak women and children as targets to confuse Li Haitang's mind, he thinks that we are as cold-blooded as this group of steppe wolves, and we also regard human life as if we were a mustard?"

"Amitabha! Sins!"

Wu Zen did not seem to dare to look directly at the tragic scene, the lonely old man, the frightened woman, and the panicked child all made his heart like a knife, his liver and intestines were broken, and a universal compassion made him heartbroken and wept.

At this time, Zhao Xin was also secretly pinching a cold sweat, her eyes were anxious and frightened to look at the three terrified slaves, if it weren't for the acquiescence of the Mongol Great Khan, I am afraid she would have been unable to help but open her mouth to admonish Ku Lie.

"Little brother, please!"

The sudden sound was like a death knell, suddenly ringing in Li Haitang's ears, which shocked his spirit, and his eyes flashed a trace of panic in an instant.

In fact, hidden arrows hurt people...... Even killing people with cold arrows is a common trivial matter for Li Haitang, and what really makes him uneasy is not the loss of life, but the three people in front of him...... It's too weak and pitiful.

The rivers and lakes have rules for the rivers and lakes, and there are also criteria for killing people. If it is a fierce god and a powerful man who licks blood from the knife edge, Li Haitang will not even blink an eyelid when he shoots them, but for the elderly, women and children, he will never be able to do it.

It's not that you don't believe in your own archery, but in case you make a mistake...... Li Haitang's conscience may be guilty and uneasy for the rest of his life.

An invisible pressure made Li Haitang's chest like a blockage, suffocating and short of breath, when he mustered up the courage to give it a go, he found that he couldn't pull the iron bow in his hand no matter what, so that he was flustered and irritable.

"It's better to ...... This king will come first!"

seemed to see Li Haitang's entanglement, and suddenly groaned slightly, and then walked to the front with a bow and arrow, and said with relief: "You brew for a while, this king will be the first to offer ugliness." ”

"This ......"

Without waiting for Li Haitang to hesitate, Hu Lie had already stepped forward, stretched his bow and arrows, and sank into the dantian, a pair of blazing phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and the two sharp eyes were intertwined along the arrow shaft, and the arrows merged into one, turning into a lightning meteor, and the arrows penetrated the bullseye thousands of steps away.

At this moment, the huge "Naadam" venue was silent, as quiet as death.

All the people around were calm, holding their breath, one by one, they couldn't even blink their eyelids, and their eyes stared at the posture like a gun, as quiet as a clay sculpture.

The three slaves shivered and sobbed incessantly, causing the three copper coins hanging from their earlobes to tremble uncontrollably and irregularly.

At this moment, Liu Xunyi's heart seemed to jump out of his throat, and his half-open and half-closed mouth was like being stuffed into a huge egg, making his muscles woody and his throat tight.

"Whoosh!"

When everyone was not ready, Ku Lie's fingers suddenly loosened, and the first arrow suddenly came out, passing through the ears of the girl, the woman, and the old man with lightning speed. At the same time, three wobbly copper coins fell one after another.

"Whoosh!

Without waiting for everyone to exclaim, the remaining two arrows followed one after another like meteors chasing the moon, accompanied by two almost inaudible crisp sounds of "ding ding", the second arrow passed through the two copper coins successively, followed by a "click" sound, the third arrow was in the tail of the second arrow, the sharp arrow split the tail of the arrow between the electric light and flint, and with an indomitable wind, it was deeply submerged into the arrow shaft of the second arrow, making its crumbling posture tremble in the air, and the speed was three points faster, and finally "bang" hit the bullseye a thousand steps away.

"Good!"

When this arrow hit, it was like a stone stirring up a thousand waves, so that everyone who was hanging by a thread could no longer hold back the mania in their hearts, and burst into a thunderous cheer.

At the same time, Liu Xunyi, Li Haitang, Feng Tianba, Wu Chan, and Pan Yuyin were all shocked, their eyes subconsciously widened, and they looked at the calm and relaxed suddenly in disbelief, and the shock and shock in their hearts were speechless, making several of them in a trance, and they couldn't return to their senses for a long time.

Even Zhao Xin, who was not proficient in martial arts, couldn't help but stand up after seeing Su Lie's amazing archery skills with his own eyes, with a pair of clear and beautiful eyes full of surprise and astonishment, looking at Hu Lie opposite his eyes in a daze, and couldn't stop talking in surprise.

Liu Xunyi and others never expected that the Mongolian prince, who had been in the Chinese army all the year round and had been fighting for a long time, would have such a hidden and shocking archery technique under his slightly bloated appearance?

......
