my brother champion

Chapter 65 Is there a singer in this city?

Before the crown ceremony, the ancients were still children and could not drink wine.

of course!

If you secretly drink some, it will be fine.

It's just that it's not feasible to drink openly at this kind of palace banquet.

The issue is.

Zhao Wang is toasting, can you not drink?
If you don't drink it, you will be disrespectful to King Zhao, and it is not acceptable.

With Zhao Wang Liu Pengzu's disposition, no matter what choice Huo Guang makes, he will record this matter.In the future, if there is a conflict and Huo Guang dares not to comply, he will write a letter to the emperor.

Zhao Guo's previous ministers and those officials at the level of two thousand stones were all eliminated by him in this way.

Huo Guang looked at Zhao Wang who was slightly angry in front of him, and after rolling his eyes, he said: "Zhao Wang, it's not that I don't respect you, but I'm thinking of you."

"Oh? For the sake of this king, why not?" Zhao Wang asked.

Huo Guang then explained: "The boy is still a child before the coronation ceremony. If King Zhao forces the child to drink alcohol and spread the word, I don't care. The main reason is that it will not be good for your reputation."

"Further."

"My brother, General Hussars, has a violent temper. If it's because of this, it wouldn't be good to say a few words about you at His Majesty's side, wouldn't it?"

reputation?

Ah!
Liu Pengzu's reputation has long been rotten outside.

History books.

The envoys and passengers who passed by did not dare to stay in Handan because of Liu Pengzu's treachery and evil.

When King Zhao heard this, his heart was full of disdain, and he sneered, "Huo Yilang is threatening me with elder brother?"

The so-called mountains are high and the emperor is far away.

I'm afraid it won't work to take the champion Hou Huo Qubing to overwhelm him.

Huo Guang shook his head at this moment, and said: "No, King Zhao is worrying too much!"

Zhao Wang Liu Pengzu was going to continue to say something, but at this time, the imperial historian Zhang Tang finally stood up and said: "Why should Zhao Wang make things difficult for Huo Yilang? Although His Majesty asked him to cooperate with the old man to handle the case, after all, he is only ten years old. A child of two or three years old."

"If you have time to spare?"

"How about I, Zhang Tang, have a few drinks with King Zhao?"

After the Yushi doctor said something, the chill on Zhao Wang's face suddenly disappeared.

instead of.

It was an honest and honest smile, and said: "Hey, how could I force a child to drink, haha, it's just a joke with Huo Yilang."

"Just now Huo Yilang mentioned elder brother."

"I don't know how much I learned from General Hussars."

Ask him how much he has learned?

What kind of bad idea did King Zhao come up with?
Huo Guang frowned slightly, and said: "The kid is stupid, and he hasn't learned much from my brother, but he is good at archery!"

"Shooting skills?" Zhao Wang Liu Pengzu laughed, waved his servants to bring arrows and throwing pots, and said: "Since Huo Yilang can't drink alcohol, he can use throwing pots instead, and if he hits a few, he will drink it." A few drinks and some fun."

The ancient literati and bureaucrats did have this game when they had banquets, but the main focus was on calmness and etiquette.

Zhao Wang has the intention of provocation.

the most important!
Huo Guang has basically never practiced throwing pots. Most of what his brother taught him was archery.

There is still a big difference between archery and pot throwing.

If not?

The embarrassment is small, I am afraid that this Zhao Wang Liu Pengzu will do something wrong again.

After thinking for a while, Huo Guang cupped his hands and said, "King Zhao, this throwing pot is originally prepared for people who can't shoot arrows. I can shoot arrows, but I play throwing pots. Is that plausible?"

"Originally King Zhao made a toast, but as a child, I couldn't drink it. It's really helpless."

"If you use pot throwing as a game again, it would be impolite. Why don't you go back to the Spring and Autumn etiquette and have a game of archery?"

Before the game of throwing pots.

One of the etiquettes for the princes to entertain guests is to invite them to shoot arrows.

and so.

Huo Guang didn't offend anyone by saying this.

Zhao Wang Liu Pengzu laughed and said: "Okay, let's change to archery. Come here, get my big bow!"

Stop talking.

The servant girl came up with a two-stone iron fetal bow.

This bow is up.

Huo Guang was dumbfounded.

He did say that he should shoot arrows, but he didn't say that he should use a bow and arrow that an adult can draw?

not to mention
It is also the standard two-stone iron tire bow for generals!

After seeing the bow, Doctor Yu Shi immediately said: "Whether the bow of King Zhao has passed, I am afraid that the champion will come to draw it."

Liu Pengzu laughed, and said: "Then it's no wonder I'm the king, it was Huo Yilang who asked for archery."

After taking a look at Huo Guang, the imperial historian Zhang Tang couldn't help but sigh.

I thought to myself, I told you not to talk nonsense before I came, so it's all right now?

Show off!

How do you end up?
But Huo Guang didn't know what Zhang Tang was thinking at this time, he just stood up from his seat, walked to the servant girl who was holding a two-stone iron tire bow, and gently stroked the bow with his hands.

Then!

He even picked up the bow and felt the weight of the bow.

This bow is heavy!

But Huo Guang said: "That's right, it's a good bow, so let's take this one!"

After hearing his words.

Then Zhao Wang Liu Pengzu burst out laughing.

As the owner, Liu Pengzu couldn't be more clear about how much strength this bow needs to pull.

even if!

Huo Guang was able to draw the bow, but all his strength was spent on drawing the bow, so can he still have a sight for archery?

"Heroes come from young men, Huo Yilang. Then take this throwing pot as a target, how many steps are you going to place it? Fifty steps is feasible?" Zhao Wang Liu Pengzu asked.

How far?
It is said in the book that Lu Bu shot his halberd at Yuanmen, and it hit the tip of Fang Tian's painted halberd 150 steps away.

Huo Guang thought that he was no better than Lu Bu, so he just made a compromise!
"A hundred steps away is fine."

upon hearing this,

The smile on Liu Pengzu's face became wider, and he asked: "How about taking three arrows if there are only three things to do?"

Three arrows?

Huo Guang looked up to him.

With the strength of the bow, just one arrow can use up all the strength in his whole body.

Shoot two more, I'm afraid it will be a real treasure.

Instead of making a fool of yourself, it's better to put a cup and forget it, so Huo Guang said: "Why do you need three arrows, I can take one!"

this time.

Zhao Wang Liu Pengzu did not speak.

in contrast.

On the contrary, Doctor Yu Shi spoke softly to him: "Don't be brave, you are too arrogant!"

however.

Huo Guang waved his hands and said, "Mr. Zhang, don't worry, I'm sure!"

As soon as the words came out.

Even Zhao Wang Liu Pengzu couldn't help but look at Huo Guang with admiration, so he said: "Good boy, you have kindness!"

"If you can really draw this bow, you can hit the throwing pot a hundred steps away with just one arrow."

"This bow is given to you."

Two stone iron tire bow, it is good or bad.It's hard to say, he is the standard equipment of generals.

Not to mention.

This is the treasured bow of Zhao Wang Liu Pengzu, it is better than ordinary bows and arrows.

Huo Guang listened.

Smiling slightly, he said, "Then I will thank King Zhao first."

The words fall.

Huo Guang took the arrow and prepared to shoot with a bow.

But Liu Pengzu stopped him at this moment: "Wait a minute, Huo Yilang, you haven't said yet, what if you miss the shot?"

Good guy!
Is it finally trying to see the dagger?

"I don't know what to do, it depends on what King Zhao wants?" Huo Guang asked back.

Zhao Wang Liu Pengzu smiled and said: "Simple, if you miss the shot, how about following the way I play here, just learn how to bark three times?"

barking?

Huo Guang frowned slightly, he didn't know if Liu Pengzu wanted to humiliate him today, or if they really played like this in King Zhao's palace.

But no matter what, Huo Guang had to comply.

otherwise.

Then you will be afraid of yourself.

So Huo Guang nodded and said, "Good!"

The two asked and answered.

On the contrary, Zhang Tang, the doctor of the censor, was very anxious.

Seeing that Huo Guang agreed easily, he couldn't help shaking his head.It seems that Huo Guang is not optimistic.

At this time.

The servant has already followed Zhao Wang's order and took the throwing pot a hundred steps away.

Huo Guang began to try to pull the bowstring.

But he is only 13 years old, how can he pull the two-stone iron tire bow with one arm?

The first two attempts were unsuccessful.

In the Palace of King Zhao, Liu Pengzu, who was the King of Zhao, even came to Zhang Tang, the official censor, and couldn't help laughing: "Huo Yilang is not as good as his elder brother after all. I don't know what Zhang Yushi thinks?"

Humiliate a child.

Of course it's boring, and King Zhao didn't bother to deal with Huo Guang at all.

What he really had to deal with was Zhang Tang.

"Hmph, what can I think, it's all young and frivolous, there is always a price to pay. It's also good, if Zhao Wang can personally teach him a lesson, I think General Hussars will thank you." Zhang Tang snorted coldly.

"Champion Hou, heh"

King Zhao was about to say something, but at this moment, his subordinate officials let out an exclamation.

I see.

At this time, Huo Guang supported the ground with one foot, and put the other foot on the body of Gong.

hands.

He even strangled the bow string tightly, and with a sharp shout, he pulled the two-stone iron tire bow away.

Raise the leg, raise the arrow, aim, let go.

The four actions are done in one go.

Although the bow is not as beautiful as the autumn moon in the sky, the arrow still hits the pitching pot placed a hundred meters away like a shooting star.

"Good archery!"

"allow!"

"This young man is amazing~"

"As expected of the champion brother Hou."

"."

Above the main hall, some officials couldn't help applauding Huo Guang's archery just now.

"Ok?"

Zhao Wang Liu Pengzu let out a cold snort, and his cold eyes swept over them. These officials all lowered their heads and dared not speak.

As for Huo Guang at this time?
He was panting heavily.

As soon as the arrow was shot, all the strength in his whole body seemed to be drained.

It's a bit empty.

"King Zhao, I will accept this bow!"

After taking a few breaths, he raised his bow and arrow, waved to Liu Pengzu, then knelt down and sat back on his seat to rest.

now.

Looking at King Zhao's face, it was already a little unnatural.

On the other side, Zhang Tang, who was originally expressionless, had a smile on his face, and said to Huo Guang: "Huo Yilang, how can you do this?"

"This bow is nothing ordinary at first glance. If you take it, wouldn't it be depriving King Zhao of his love?"

"Quickly return the bow to its original owner!"

these words.

Of course he was mocking King Zhao, Liu Pengzu couldn't hear it, so he snorted and said with a smile: "Forget it, it's just a broken bow. This king is willing to bet and admit defeat."

Following Zhao Wang's words, Huo Guang naturally became the master of this precious bow.

Time passed quickly!

The reception banquet at Zhao Palace is coming to an end.

at this time.

The officials of the fiefdom of the Zhao Kingdom withdrew from the palace one after another, leaving only King Zhao, Prince Liu Dan, Zhang Tang, and Huo Guang in the main hall.

Zhang Tang glanced at Huo Guang, then at the crown prince, and said, "King Zhao, Huo Yilang said in the morning that he couldn't sleep in unfamiliar places."

"It's better to let the prince take him to familiarize himself with the environment of Xia Handan City."

"This censor can just talk to you about Li Xiangguo's affairs alone, what do you think?"

The meaning in these words seems to be to send Huo Guang away on purpose.As if he was here, there were some things he couldn't say to Liu Pengzu.

King Zhao frowned slightly.

He glanced at Huo Guang, then at his own prince.

immediately.

With a wave of his hand, he motioned for Prince Liu Dan to lead Huo Guang out.

then.

Seeing Liu Dan signaled by his father, he got up and walked to Huo Guang's side, and said, "Huo Yilang, shall I take you out for a walk?"

"it is good."

According to what was discussed with Mr. Zhang beforehand, Huo Guang responded.

At this moment.

Prince Liu Dan looked at Huo Guang holding two stone iron bows, and asked, "Ordinary iron bows are made of a mixture of metal and bamboo and wood ribs, and the back is iron. But my father's bow, It’s made of all iron, so it shouldn’t be light, right?”

The full name of Iron Tire Bow should be called Copper Tire Iron Back Bow.

This is King Zhao!

It is made of all iron, so it is not light.

Huo Guang nodded and said, "It's a bit heavy, but it's not your father's bow now."

"Naturally." Then a servant was called and ordered: "You take this bow back to Huo Yilang's residence."

"promise."

The servant walked up to Huo Guang, stretched out his hand and said, "Huo Yilang, give the bow to the servant, and the servant will send you back to your residence."

"Ah."

Huo Guang let out a sigh, and then handed the bow to the servant.

then.

Looking at the bloodstains left by the bowstring in his hand, he couldn't help spitting at Liu Pengzu in his heart.

The hanging man asked him to draw two crossbows, but he didn't even give him an iron finger, and his fingers were almost strangled.

That's bad enough!

"Where will the crown prince take me?" Huo Guang asked.

The prince looked at him and asked, "Didn't Zhang Yushi say that he would take you to familiarize yourself with the surrounding environment?"

Huo Guang laughed lightly, and said: "Can't the prince hear that Zhang Yushi sent you and me away because he wanted to tell your father?"

Hear this.

Prince Dan snorted and replied: "Of course I can see it, but I don't know where to take Huo Yilang for a while?"

Prince Liu Dan is a round older than Huo Guang.

After all, his father, Liu Pengzu, was much older than Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

Seeing Prince Liu Dan saying he didn't know where to go, Huo Guang said, "Maybe I didn't sleep well last night, so I don't really want to move around. Thinking about where I can listen to a little song and take a rest!"

"I don't know."

"Is there a singer in Handan City?"

"Singer?" The prince Liu Dan asked: "If you just listen to the music, how about going to the prince's hall in this palace to have a rest?"

The state of Zhao is a state of vassals, and the Zhao Palace was built in imitation of the Weiyang Palace. Naturally, the princes and princes also have their own East Palace.

Huo Guang originally wanted to investigate the crimes committed by Prince Liu Dan.

To be able to go to his East Palace is of course a dream.

But on the surface, he still pretended to be skeptical, and said, "Go to your East Palace, Prince?"

Seeing Huo Guang's puzzled look, Prince Liu Dan explained: "I once married a woman named Jiang Qin, who is good at playing the piano and dancing, and she can play a piece for Huo Yilang."

"Your concubine, concubine? Then I don't dare to listen, I'm not blessed to suffer." Huo Guang's eyes widened.

However, Prince Liu Dan didn't care and said: "No, no, it's just a child, not even Liangdi, it's okay."
