Chapter Ninety-Three: Pitching Pot Competition

As Zhao Xiaoyong wandered back and forth in the West Courtyard, there were more and more people in the West Courtyard. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Talented and beautiful people gathered together, and laughter was everywhere. Most people also carry a lantern in their hands, which is more in line with the festive atmosphere.

Zhao Xiaoyong did not look up frequently like others and guess lantern riddles. Just walking back and forth in the crowd, his eyes were shaking, but it was a pity that he sighed, and said secretly in his heart: "Shi Lingxuan doesn't seem to have come out yet, and I can't find it after looking around." ”

In his previous life, Zhao Xiaoyong had social phobia. Every time I encounter this situation, I don't know what to do. If you just grab someone and start talking, it feels a little cute.

Zhao Si still followed Zhao Xiaoyong very quietly, without too many words. Zhao Xiaoyong glanced at Zhao Si and said jokingly: "Let's go, let's go to the building and have a look." But don't follow me all the time, you can go and hang around. I'm a little nervous when he follows me all the time. ”

Zhao Siyi listened, thought for a moment, and then nodded. Xin said: "Then I'll follow you secretly, don't let you find out, just do it." Zhao Si had such an idea, but he underestimated Zhao Xiaoyong's martial arts.

After the master and servant entered the first floor, Zhao Si disappeared. Zhao Xiaoyong found that this floor was rearranged, and there were many tables in the hall, forming a circle, which looked simple and generous. There are lanterns hanging everywhere, and the lights are bright, which is very elegant.

Sons and ladies sat at the table, some talking, some muttering, as if writing poems, some playing the piano on the side, and some foodies eating.

Zhao Xiaoyong saw Fang Shuyu at a glance, gathered among a few young ladies and chatted happily. Zhao Xiaoyong didn't bother him, just slipped around the first floor. didn't find Shi Lingxuan's figure, Zhao Xiaoyong went up to the second floor. "I don't believe it, I can't find you. Zhao Xiaoyong said in his heart.

At this time, Shi Lingxuan saw that the people were almost coming, put on a veil on the second floor, called the excited Sizhu, and prepared to go downstairs.

While in the stairwell, Zhao Xiaoyong met the masked Shi Lingxuan. Shi Lingxuan was dressed in white, with a light veil on her face, swaying like an immortal, which immediately attracted Zhao Xiaoyong's attention.

Zhao Xiaoyong was happy in his heart at first, then carefully looked at the person in front of him, and then said in his heart: "Is this Shi Lingxuan? Then, Zhao Xiaoyong crossed over to Shi Lingxuan and looked at the silk bamboo behind Shi Lingxuan. Zhao Xiaoyong smiled secretly and confirmed that the person in front of him was Shi Lingxuan.

Shi Lingxuan saw Zhao Xiaoyong, stopped, and subconsciously clenched her fist with her right hand. Sizhu behind him stopped, and said secretly: "Why doesn't Miss leave?" looked up and saw Zhao Xiaoyong standing in front of Shi Lingxuan, thinking wildly in his heart, and at the same time stood quietly and looked at the two people in front of him.

"Are you a silk zheng?" Zhao Xiaoyong said in an uncertain tone. In order not to make Shi Lingxuan suspicious, Zhao Xiaoyong deliberately said so.

"Yes, Zhao Gongzi hasn't seen him for a long time, how are you doing lately?" Shi Lingxuan hesitated for a moment, and then replied softly.

"It's been a long time since I've seen each other, and it's like three autumns if I haven't seen each other. I haven't seen each other in almost 30 years, and I'm okay. What about you, your young lady didn't make things difficult for you, did you?" Zhao Xiaoyong replied with a smile.

When Shi Lingxuan heard this, she frowned slightly. "Why did it happen to me again, am I bad?"

"Zhao Gongzi said with a smile, how could Miss make things difficult for us people? By the way, why can't I find the book "The Legend of the Deer and Ding" when I go back, it was written by that person?" Shi Lingxuan asked curiously, she went home and searched all the books in Shifu, but she couldn't find this book. Sizhu looked at Shi Lingxuan pretending to be a subordinate, which was very wonderful.

"Oh, you really looked. This book has not yet been published, so I'll give you a copy in the future. By the way, what are you going down to do? I'll go with you, and I'll be your guard to keep some wild bees and butterflies from approaching you. Zhao Xiaoyong said to Shi Lingxuan with a smile, and then put forward his opinion.

When Shi Lingxuan heard this, she said in her heart: "Aren't you the biggest bee, who else are you going to drive?" You're going to go about your business, aren't you?"

When Shi Lingxuan said this, she thought that Zhao Xiaoyong would retreat in the face of difficulties, but who knew that Zhao Xiaoyong would not enter the oil and rice, and replied with a smile: "I don't have any big deals, it's okay to walk with you?"

In this way, Zhao Xiaoyong crowded between Shi Lingxuan and Sizhu, and accompanied the reluctant Shi Lingxuan to the courtyard. When he arrived in the courtyard, Shi Lingxuan pointed to the north side and said, "We will play music there in a while, and most of the songs are from the Qianying banquet." ”

Zhao Xiaoyong looked at the wooden platform on the north side and said with a smile: "That is my share of credit." Hey, it's so lively there, I didn't see it just now. Let's go check it out. As he spoke, Zhao Xiaoyong looked to the left, and a circle of people gathered there, not knowing what he was doing.

When I walked over, it turned out that several people were playing a game of pitching pots. A small white clay pot was placed in front, and there were a lot of arrows next to it, but few were thrown into it. The person is not far from the pot, it looks like it is only five steps, and it should be well thrown into it.

Zhao Xiaoyong looked at Shi Lingxuan beside him, and then looked at the pot in front of him. smiled and said to Shi Lingxuan: "How about we play this game? How about the loser promise the winner a condition?"

"It's not good, I heard about your sword dance during the Qianying feast. I know I'm no match for you in this game. Shi Lingxuan thought for a moment and shook her head.

"In that case, I'll take a few steps back. And it's outdoors, and it's hard for me to get in if it's windy. Zhao Xiaoyong tempted Shi Lingxuan and said.

Shi Lingxuan thought about it and nodded. Shi Lingxuan is also very confident in her pitcher, and she and Granny Ying have also learned some internal skills, although the practice is not very profound, but Shi Lingxuan's hands are very stable, and she is also very confident in pitching.

"You have to stand ten paces away, and I'll compete with you. But let's say it's okay, you can't ask too much. Shi Lingxuan looked at the joy on Zhao Xiaoyong's face and added lightly.

After Zhao Xiaoyong heard this, the joy on his face remained unchanged and nodded. In Zhao Xiaoyong's view, ten steps and five steps are about the same. The only problem is that the requirements can't be excessive, this has no boundaries, it all depends on Shi Lingxuan's personal thoughts.

Shi Lingxuan raised her head and said to Zhao Xiaoyong: "Why are you still stunned? Go get the arrow, are you still waiting for me to go?"

"Oh, I'll go now. Zhao Xiaoyong restrained his joy, hurriedly ran to the front of the host, gestured again, and paid the money. Shi Lingxuan watched the whole process of Zhao Xiaoyong's busy work, and the corners of her mouth curled slightly.

After a while, Zhao Xiaoyong came back with eight arrows in each hand. This is a pitching arrow, and the tip of the arrow is cut out of hardwood. The first segment is sharp and the tail end is blunt. It's called an arrow here, but Zhao Xiaoyong thinks it's more appropriate to use an arrow to describe it.

"After a while, the two of them are done, and it's time for us. Zhao Xiaoyong looked at Shi Lingxuan and smiled. After finishing speaking, he handed the eight arrows in his right hand to Shi Lingxuan.

Before Shi Lingxuan moved, Sizhu took it. Zhao Xiaoyong finally had a chance to ask, "Are you?"

"I am, I'm her friend. Can you help a friend get something?" Sizhu looked at Shi Lingxuan first when he said, and when he saw Shi Lingxuan nodded, he boldly continued.

"Absolutely. Zhao Xiaoyongcan said with a smile.

"A big man, what's wrong with taking it for a while, so anxious to decompress. Sizhu muttered quietly. Shi Lingxuan glanced at Sizhu, and Sizhu stopped talking.

Zhao Xiaoyong pretended not to hear it, and was still watching the competition in front of him. The game was very anxious, and the two men each scored three arrows, and each had one arrow left in their hands. One arrow determines the winner or loser, and the next thing is to see whose hand is more stable.

The talented man in the blue robe on the left is called Qian Yu, and Zhao Xiaoyong saw him during the Qianying banquet. I was very impressed by the name. On the other hand, it is to send money, Zhao Xiaoyong jokingly thought that he would probably be a poor ghost in the future.

Qian Yu threw an arrow, drawing a wonderful arc in the air, hollowing into the pot. Qian Yu looked at it and let out a big sigh. Then he looked confidently at his opponent.

In this way, Qian Yu's opponent was under tremendous pressure, and he swallowed his saliva and took a deep breath. Raise your right hand flat, and shake your hand slightly before throwing it again. It seems that he is really under a lot of pressure.

The trajectory of the arrow in the air was not bad, but unfortunately, the arrow hit the edge of the pot and bounced out. The genius on the right shook his head regretfully. Qian Yu clenched his fists, his face smiling, and he looked very happy.

At this time, Zhao Xiaoyong stood in front of Qian Yu and said with a smile: "Congratulations to Brother Qian, winning the game." ”

Qian Chen's impression of Zhao Xiaoyong is also very deep, and Zhao Xiaoyong's fortune operator and sword dance have been lingering in Qian Chen's mind. Seeing Zhao Xiaoyong walking up and talking to him, he forgot about his opponent and said to Zhao Xiaoyong excitedly: "Do you remember me?"

"Of course, Brother Qian, your pitching skills are good. Next, I'm going to have a competition with others, and Brother Qian will guide me later. Zhao Xiaoyong saw Qian Yu's excited appearance and replied lightly. The purpose of Zhao Xiaoyong coming up was to ask Qian Yu to quickly get out of the venue.

"Okay, I'll do my best. And who is your opponent?" Qian recited. Qian Yu really wants to have a good relationship with Zhao Xiaoyong, after all, Zhao Xiaoyong has a deep background, and his literary and martial arts are first-class.

Zhao Xiaoyong pointed at Shi Lingxuan and said with a smile: "It's her." Then he said to Shi Lingxuan: "Hurry up, I have found a military advisor." Shi Lingxuan heard this and did not reply. Standing opposite Zhao Xiaoyong, Sizhu held the arrow to Shi Lingxuan's side.

Qian Yu saw that Zhao Xiaoyong pointed to a woman, his eyebrows furrowed, and he didn't ask anything. At the same time, seeing Zhao Xiaoyong take a few steps back, Qian Chanted: "Zhao Gongzi, you don't need to retreat so much, just come to me." ”

"I know, let her. Zhao Xiaoyong glanced at Qian Yu and replied with a smile. Zhao Xiaoyong retreated, and the people watching behind also retreated. Zhao Xiaoyong visually measured the place of ten steps and stood still.

At this time, Zhou Guohua came out of the crowd behind him and said, "Xiaoyong, it's really you." I'll just say that this back image is you, are you going to throw a pot?" Zhou Guohua looked at the arrow in Zhao Xiaoyong's hand, and saw that Zhao Xiaoyong had retreated so far, and said uncertainly.

"yes, look closely. I'll show you what it means to throw a pot. Zhao Xiaoyong confidently said to Zhou Guohua.
