Volume 2 Dragon and Phoenix Fighting Chapter 49 Dedication
As soon as he said this, everyone saw that there was still a good show to watch, and they applauded and applauded.
Xiao Minglong raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and suddenly turned to Long Shaoyang, and said, "Brother Long, your outstanding talent, fist and foot kung fu, this palace has been fortunate to appreciate it, and I admire it very much." The sage Youyun 'raising the son of the country to the Tao is the six arts of teaching', archery is one of the six arts, I don't know how the eldest brother shoots, can he show his skills in front of the palace and the soldiers?"
Long Shaoyang was slightly startled, and said in his heart: "This prince's younger brother is really childlike, naughty and noisy, I don't know if it's a momentary thing, or he wants to show the superhuman ability of the new prince's left guard rate in front of the people in the East Palace, but he didn't even say hello in advance, so he threw such a problem in public, and he was ugly and fell second. β
Just as he was thinking, everyone was already applauding.
Seeing this, Xiao Di interjected: "Shaoyang, competing on the battlefield, you are interested in learning from each other and exchanging experiences, as for the level of success or failure, this is not the meaning of the question." β
He had already seen Long Shaoyang's thoughts, and he was busy making a round for him, which meant that if he lost, it didn't matter, and he didn't need to care.
Long Shaoyang smiled slyly and arched his hand: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, Weichen is not cowardly, Weichen ...... Weichen thinks that this is too simple compared to the law. β
When everyone heard this, they were all shocked, and there was silence on the field for a while.
The officials of the East Palace who knew him at the scene all thought: "This prince Zuo Wei is afraid that he is wearing a new black gauze hat, and he is so happy that he actually said these faint words that he does not know the depths. The soldiers who didn't recognize him were thinking: "The young man who came out of nowhere actually spoke wildly, underestimated the skills of our East Palace Forbidden Army, and was not afraid of the wind and flashed his tongue." When everyone came back to their senses, there was a commotion, gossip, and disturbance.
When Xiao Minglong heard this, he was also stunned, and asked suspiciously, "Brother Long, I don't know if you have any good ideas?"
Long Shaoyang said with a smile: "His Royal Highness said that archery is one of the six arts, and it is an archery art, and it is appropriate to use five kinds of archery skills to compare, what do you think?"
The so-called six arts, one is five rites, two is six music, three is five shots, four is five royals, five is six books, six is nine numbers, also known as the six arts of the gentleman, since ancient times as a gentleman to master the six basic skills. Things have changed, dynasties have changed, and the six arts have gradually become formalities and incomplete, but the archery art has continued completely. Qi people are martial, up to high-ranking officials and nobles, down to the contemptible people in the countryside, all those who practice martial arts, archery is an inevitable subject.
Long Shaoyang proposed to compare it with archery at this time, and everyone felt that it was reasonable and nodded one after another.
I heard the soldier arch his hand and say, "Please teach this lord!"
Long Shaoyang stepped forward, arched his hand and said "please", took the longbow from the hands of the soldiers on the side, put the quiver on his back, and immediately picked up the longbow, holding the feather arrow, concentrating slightly, looking upright, and with a whoosh, the feather arrow left the string.
I saw that he held the bow in his left hand and did not move, and his right hand was as fast as lightning and reached into the quiver behind his back, bending his bow and making an arrow, and another arrow. In this way, the first arrow is already in front, but the three arrows behind are arrows and arrows, head and tail, and go continuously, if the beads are connected.
Everyone exclaimed, turned their heads to look, and all stuck out their tongues, only to see that the four feather arrows were not up or down, neither left nor right, neatly clustered in one place, and hit the arrow target.
A burst of cheers erupted, and everyone applauded.
Xiao Minglong smiled, couldn't help but be happy, and the leader cheered loudly, while Xiao Di smiled and didn't turn his eyes slightly.
Long Shaoyang turned around and arched his hand: "Your Highness, everyone, there are five archery skills, and one of Long's skills 'Shenlian' is the first." It's ugly. β
Those who have studied the "Six Arts" among the crowd have already seen that this young man is using the art of participation in archery. White arrows, ginseng, injections, rulers, and wells are the five techniques of archery. The five techniques have their own difficulties, each has its own wonders, and those who practice archery, even if they can't do it, recognize it.
The soldier saw Long Shaoyang's skill "Shenlian", and there was no fear on his face at the moment, he stepped forward, took the longbow as it was, put a quiver on his back, bent the bow and set up an arrow, and shot four arrows in a row.
At this time, everyone saw that this soldier was also using a skill "Shenlian", and they were all stunned, and said in their hearts: "'Shenlian' is a skill, the first pioneer has taken the lead, why bother facing difficulties, if you choose one of the other four skills to try, or you can take the latecomer." When I saw his four arrows come out, I looked at them together, and they were also in the bull's-eye.
Everyone shouted "Huh", several people shouted at the same time: "Good archery!", and another said: "It's really amazing!" Seeing that the two of them were on equal footing, everyone's interest increased greatly, and there was a commotion in the crowd, and they couldn't help but make noise.
Long Shaoyang followed and praised: "This brother is good at archery!" As he spoke, he suddenly held the longbow in his left hand, and as soon as the feather arrow in his right hand hit the string, it broke through the air with a whoosh, and the arrow hit the bull's-eye. He used this technique to use the "ε‘Note" in archery, comparing the disease of the arrow, the aiming time is short, the arrow is shot, and the shot is hit.
The crowd couldn't help but shout. Compared with "participation", although there is no arrow to end, it is as fast as lightning, and it is less aimed at this link, and it is clear at a glance which is difficult and which is easier.
The soldier bent his bow and arrows in the same way, and used a skill to "pay attention", and the arrow was like a meteor, straight into the bull's-eye.
The people present couldn't help but be stunned, some were talking to themselves, some rubbed their hands repeatedly, and some opened their eyes wide.
Long Shaoyang couldn't help but admire it in his heart, thinking about sneaking into Liuxiang Palace that night, he secretly pinched his sweat: "The soldiers of the East Palace are indeed Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and they are a little too big." If it was this group of soldiers who stayed in the Liuxiang Palace that night, I was afraid that it would be difficult for me to retreat. Although he has always been humble and never willing to take the initiative to compete with others, but at this moment, when he met his opponent, he glanced at the two arrow targets a hundred steps away, and there was a feather arrow at each of the red hearts, which was not in the target. The soldiers on the side did not know how the two of them would fight, and they had not yet removed the feather arrows.
I saw two arrows side by side, the tail feathers of the arrows moved slightly with the wind, at a glance, Deng Shi stimulated his desire to win, and said in his heart: "Today's competition, if you don't come out on top, not only will His Royal Highness the prince not be able to get by, but this group of soldiers will not be convinced, and the road to the East Palace will be blocked and short in the future." He smiled at the moment and said: "Since ancient times, 'there are no weak soldiers under strong generals', and General Gu is really a master. When I saw it today, I really admired it. As he spoke, the man walked slowly to the soldier beside him, and said, "This brother, please lend the land under your feet." β
The soldier turned, bewildered, not knowing what he was going to do, and took two steps back, giving up the piece of ground under his feet.
Long Shaoyang stepped forward, stood on the ground, and nodded to the soldier in thanks. Suddenly, I saw that he had just turned around, his body was facing the arrow target, he took the bow in his hand, and shot the arrow, and with a snap, everyone looked at it, only to see that the soldier who was in the middle of the arrow shot the arrow target, and he was impartial, and actually pushed the front arrow to the other side of the target.
Although this trick is also a "note", it has the meaning of "returning the other body with the other way", and the difficulty is naturally not the same.
Everyone couldn't help but be stunned, and after being stunned, everyone couldn't help but cheer, and even the fighting soldier couldn't help but praise, hugged his fists and said: "This adult is amazing, and the villain is willing to bow down." β
It turned out that when Long Shaoyang looked at the two arrow targets, he had already estimated the direction and distance of the other arrow target, and when he walked slowly to the side, he seemed to be taking a leisurely stroll, and the rhythm, pace, and direction of his feet were carefully controlled, and every inch was being calculated. When he stood still, he was already eight or nine points sure in his heart that he would still be able to hit with one blow by changing targets.
Long Shaoyang returned the salute and said with a smile: "Long's victory is really a fluke, try again, I'm afraid I will miss the target." β
Xiao Minglong laughed when he saw Long Shaoyang come out on top, hurriedly stepped forward and stretched out his right hand to wrap his shoulder, and said, "Brother Long, you are really hidden! I didn't expect your archery skills to be so good! Haha, it was really beyond my expectations." Ladies and gentlemen, who else is willing to fight?"
After a while, everyone turned their heads to each other, but no one answered.
Xiao Minglong said with a smile: "In this case, this dragon warrior is the winner of today's competition. Come, give this dragon warrior my carved bow of red sandalwood. β
Hearing the sound, the attendant hurriedly presented the bow and arrow he had taken.
Xiao Minglong said with a smile: "Brother Long, as the saying goes, 'swords match heroes', this red sandalwood carved bow can be described as the owner of things." β
Long Shaoyang hurriedly took it with both hands, bowed down and thanked him.
At this time, Xiao Minglong was in a very good mood, he helped Long Shaoyang with both hands with a smile, looked around left and right, and said loudly: "Soldiers, this palace almost forgot to introduce to you, this dragon strong man, it should be called Long Wei rate, from now on, it will be the prince Zuo Wei rate - together with General Gu, he is your new commander!"
When all the soldiers heard this, they bowed down with their fists in a black pressure, saluted Long Shaoyang, and said in unison: "See Long Wei's rate!"
Long Shaoyang hurriedly returned the salute.
Xiao Minglong said: "Soldiers, from now on, you should work together with the two generals Long and Gu, garrison the palace and forbid, and join the great together." Come, pass on my decree, that all the soldiers who have just participated in the contest will be rewarded with ten taels of gold each!
All the soldiers were overjoyed, knelt on the ground in unison, and shouted in unison: "Prince Chitose! Chitose! Chitose!"
Xiao Minglong turned his head to the people beside him: "Everyone, the hour is almost noon, we should also go back, so as not to interfere with the daily training of the soldiers." General Gu, please take care of yourself!" Saying that, he took Long Shaoyang and walked away, and a group of East Palace officials hurriedly followed behind and went together.
I only heard all the soldiers shouting in unison: "Congratulations to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!
The voice was loud and loud, directly suppressing the clouds, and the aftermath echoed for a long time on the huge military exercise ground of Yaoyi City.
