Seeing that the stern look in the emperor's eyes had not completely receded, the empress was worried that the emperor would show killing intent at this time, the sun was shining brightly and the garden was full of flowers, and killing people in such a place at this time was not a good thing after all.

The queen has been with the emperor for almost 30 years, so she knows the emperor's temperament very well. When the emperor went to war in the north and south, the emperor carried a deep murderous intent in his bones, and he was extremely strict in governing the army. After the founding of the country, his bloodthirsty His temperament has not changed, but he will not kill people without reason. However, the older he gets, the emperor's killing intent does not weaken because of the passage of time. Instead, he becomes more and more bloodthirsty. Often the courtiers say something wrong, All of them may lead to death.

Although the queen tried to persuade him sometimes, once the emperor wanted to kill, even the queen couldn't stop it.

The officials gathered in the Iron Blood Garden today, and the queen really didn't want to see the emperor kill people on such an occasion, she knew that if the emperor was in a bad mood, Gao Huai's words today would have blood spattered for five steps Fortunately, the emperor is in a good mood today, holding back the killing intent for a while, the queen was afraid that the killing intent would not dissipate, so she hurriedly asked Zhou Ting: "Master Zhou, what kind of way is this compared to arrows?"

She wanted to divert the emperor's attention and stop worrying about the matter just now.

The emperor's attention seemed to be really brought here, he looked at Zhou Ting and said, "That's right, Zhou Ting, how did you arrange this Bijian?"

Zhou Ting hurriedly said: "Reporting to the Holy Majesty and the Empress, I have thought about it, if I just shoot a dead target, I may not be able to show the magnificence of archery. I still remember that when the Holy Majesty practiced arrows, he never practiced dead targets, but used Practice with wild animals and birds as live targets, and only then have you practiced the unparalleled archery technique, Imamiya boldly wants to test it with this method."

Hearing what Zhou Ting said, the last killing intent in his eyes disappeared, and he said with a smile, "Zhou Ting, so you still remember. That's right, I practice arrows, and I never use dead targets!" His old face glowed, as if A lot younger.

In the eyes of the emperor, Zhou Ting was not a flattering person, Zhou Ting was quite honest in his words, today Zhou Ting suddenly mentioned the emperor's archery skills, and there was a compliment in his words, which made the emperor very happy immediately, After all, as long as they are human beings, they are willing to hear some good words, not to mention that Zhou Ting's words are also things that the emperor is proud of, not exaggerated, saying them in public will make the emperor feel happy.

In fact, Zhou Ting's purpose in saying this was also to see that the emperor had murderous intent, so he adopted this method to eliminate the emperor's murderous intent.

"That's right, Zhou Aiqing, is it still up to Ma Zhongheng to compare arrows with Chu Huan?" the emperor asked.

Zhou Ting hurriedly said: "Ma Zhongheng's equestrian skills are not bad, but his archery skills are average. If you want to test Chu Huan, Ma Zhongheng still can't do it."

"Then who are you going to let take this role?"

"Xuanyuan Shengcai!" Zhou Ting said immediately.

The emperor let out an "oh" and said, "I thought you were going to pass Xuanyuan Shao over to compete with arrows!"

"Commander Xuanyuan is patrolling the defense of the imperial city today. He is on official business, so he didn't show up today." Zhou Ting smiled and said, "But even if Commander Xuanyuan comes, he won't be able to work for him." He said in a deep voice, "Why is Xuanyuan Sheng?"

A general came out from the crowd and said respectfully, "The general is here!"

Xuanyuan Sheng was less than 30 years old, with dark skin, long face, and ordinary appearance, but he had a heroic spirit. After seeing the ceremony, he looked at Chu Huan with a calm expression.

When Chu Huan heard that this person's surname was Xuanyuan, he knew that this person was somehow related to Xuanyuan Shao, at least they belonged to the same clan.

Zhou Tingdao: "Xuanyuan Wuwei's archery is guided by Xuanyuan Commander himself. It is quite successful. It is a good touchstone. I implore the Holy Majesty to allow Xuanyuan Wuwei to enter the battle!"

The emperor stroked his beard and said: "Xuanyuan Shengcai, your cousin Xuanyuan Shao's archery skills are excellent, you learn arrows with him, have you learned superficially?"

Xuanyuan Shengcai said respectfully: "The commander's archery skills are exquisite, and the generals are only scratching the surface."

The emperor smiled and said: "You have also seen Chu Huan's equestrian skills. You compete with him in archery. If you win, I will give you a hundred taels of gold and give you a promotion. What do you think?"

Xuanyuan Shengcai immediately said gratefully: "I will thank you, Your Majesty."

"Don't be in a hurry to thank me yet!" The emperor smiled and said, "Whether you can get a reward or not depends on your ability."

An Guogong sat next to him, very quiet, but when he heard this, the corners of his eyes twitched slightly, but no one saw it.

Zhou Ting then said: "The rules of the arrow competition are also very simple. Both Xuanyuan Shengcai and Chu Huan use two-stone hard skills, and each of them only has three arrows. The pigeons will be released later. After you two shoot three arrows, Whoever shoots the most pigeons wins!"

Chu Huan and Xuanyuan Sheng said in unison: "Yes!"

The pulling force of a two-stone hard bow is already great. The bows and arrows used by ordinary soldiers are usually one-stone hard bows. Compared with one-stone hard bows, the shooting distance of a two-stone hard bow is naturally much longer, but the energy consumed is far greater than that of one stone. hard bow.

Two hard bows are ready, each equipped with three feathered arrows, Xuanyuan Shengcai's arrow is tied with a white silk thread, while Chu Huan's is tied with a red thin thread, this is also for distinguishing the arrows later owner.

Both of them picked up the bow and arrow and tried it. Only then did Xuanyuan Sheng look calm. Occasionally, he glanced at Chu Huan, met Chu Huan's eyes, and smiled very gently, which seemed very polite. He seemed calm, but his eyes were full of confidence, and it was obvious that he was bound to win this competition.

Competing arrows in public, Xuanyuan Shengcai learned the art of archery from the "Heaven-breaking Bow" Xuanyuan Shao. Even if Xuanyuan Shengcai was not for the reward promised by the emperor, it was to maintain Xuanyuan Shao's prestige and the name of the Xuanyuan family. will go all out.

The three cages containing the pigeons had already been brought to the field, and the guards stood beside the cages, standing in awe, waiting for an order, and then they opened the cages to release the pigeons.

The crowd was already discussing in low voices.

"Wuwei Xuanyuan has been learning archery from Commander Xuanyuan for four or five years. A strong general has no weak soldiers, and they are cousins. This Wuwei Xuanyuan's archery skills must be amazing. Chu Huan was unknown before. Are you really good at archery?"

"If you win the first battle, you will suffer a lot in the second battle." Someone immediately lowered his voice and said, "Zhou Nayan arranged for Martial Officer Xuanyuan to play, perhaps to suppress Chu Huan's arrogance."

"I heard that Chu Huan was recommended by His Royal Highness King Qi, and his skills are really good. Zhou Nayan probably wants to try Chu Huan's real skills. Only archers like Xuanyuan Wuwei can test Chu Huan's true skills." ability."

"Look, they have drawn their bows!"

In the arena, both Chu Huan and Xuanyuan Shengcai had already picked up the first arrow, bowed their bows and mounted their arrows, ready to go.

Zhou Ting saw that the surroundings were quiet, so he nodded to that side. The guard stepped forward, unfastened the wooden buckle on the cage, and then drove forward with both hands. The five pigeons in the cage flew out of the cage immediately, fluttering. Take off to the sky.

Chu Huan and Xuanyuan Sheng just looked at each other, and then looked at the sky at the same time. Chu Huan narrowed his eyes, calmed down, and aimed at a pigeon without hesitation. The bow was fully stringed, his fingers were loosened, and the arrow "whoosh" With a bang, it has been shot through the air, piercing the air.

The arrow was extremely fast and powerful, and it shot straight at a pigeon. In midair, there was a sudden sound of arrows from the side, and Xuanyuan Shengcai had already shot, and his arrow was like lightning, extremely fast.

Just when Chu Huan's arrow was about to hit the pigeon, he heard a "click" in the air, and the bow and arrow shot by Chu Huan suddenly split into two pieces. But at this moment, the arrow has changed its direction and is falling down feebly.

Chu Huan was taken aback.

Although in the flash, Chu Huan clearly saw that the arrow that Xuanyuan Sheng shot was actually cutting off his own arrow in mid-air, and the castration continued unabated. , unexpectedly moved forward with strength, and penetrated the body of a pigeon on the line.

Xuanyuan Sheng just succeeded with one arrow, loosened his longbow slightly, turned his head, looked at Chu Huan, with a few smug smiles on his face, and nodded slightly to Chu Huan, not knowing whether it was courtesy or showing off.

Although Chu Huan was surprised in his heart, he smiled on his face and said, "Lieutenant Xuanyuan is good at archery!"

This is indeed good archery.

Xuanyuan Sheng just shot Chu Huan's arrow with one arrow, and he was able to shoot a pigeon. It is necessary to judge the line of Chu Huan's arrow in the shortest time, and also judge the speed of Chu Huan's arrow. While determining the position of Chu Huan's arrow, it is also necessary to predict whether the shooting of Chu Huan's arrow can be shot on the same route after the shooting of Chu Huan's arrow. Make corresponding countermeasures, according to your own judgment, and skillfully combine the strength, direction, and speed of your own bow and arrow.

Although it seems like an understatement of an arrow, it seems to be easy to come by, but without enough archery knowledge and familiarity with bows and arrows to control the bones, it is impossible to shoot such an effect with one arrow.

The guards inspecting over there have already loudly reported the result: "Chu Huan's arrow was shot from it, and Xuanyuan Shengcai's arrow shot a pigeon!"

People with discerning eyes were amazed immediately, and those who didn't understand hurriedly asked, and after knowing what happened just now, they were also amazed, and they couldn't help looking at Xuanyuan Shengcai, and many people's eyes were full of admiration.

The emperor also smiled lightly at the queen: "Queen, Xuanyuan Shao is very good at arrows, you know it, and now it seems that there is another magic shooter in the Xuanyuan clan."

The queen smiled sweetly, she was middle-aged, but her smile was still charming, and she said softly: "Xuanyuan Shengcai's arrow skills are certainly good, but compared to the holy master's arrow skills, they are still far behind."

The emperor smiled and said: "I am old, and my arrow skills are not as good as before." Then his eyes lit up, and he said softly: "But don't worry, the queen, I will gradually become younger and regain the courage of the past. You go out hunting!"

The queen knew that the emperor's so-called "great success" meant cultivating Taoism and seeking longevity, so she felt helpless, but she could only smile and nod.

Xuanyuan Sheng was the first to win the crowd, and with one arrow, he had already shot a pigeon, and he was one point ahead of Chu Huan. At this time, it can be said that he was in the limelight, and the scenery was infinite, and Chu Huan seemed to be his foil.
