Madam, look at the sword!

Chapter 44 The lady looks at the arrow - Bai Ya!
Although it is still early, the excitement of the crown prince is rare in a lifetime, because it is probably difficult to see another person like Zhao Chengfeng in Zhoutian in the next hundred years.

Therefore, not only is it connected to the courtyard wall of Qingsong Academy, but the small building on the back is also in the center of the martial arts field, which is naturally the best place to see the Third Prince.

The best places must of course be occupied by the noblest people.

In Kyoto, the most noble people are naturally the Wei family.

Before King Xian and his family climbed up to the second floor, they heard the chirping sound coming into their ears. When they arrived on the second floor, their eyes suddenly opened up, and the scene in the martial arts arena of Qingsong Academy could be seen. At the same time, The people here are enjoying themselves, as if they are on a spring outing.

Through the white gauze, the little princess Wei Huanchu saw her third uncle. King Cheng quickly came to them and said very enthusiastically:
"You are here."

Princess Jing naturally felt a little blessed, and Prince Xian called out: "Third brother."

Of course Wei Huanchu didn't need to say hello, because in the eyes of outsiders she was a fool, so it would be nice if she didn't go crazy.

At this time, King Cheng said again: "Chuer, she~~"

King Xian sighed: "It's still the same as before, but now it's getting more and more crazy, so I thought of bringing her to see the fun and get some fresh air."

"It's all thanks to the Third Prince of Dahuang, otherwise Huanchu wouldn't even want to become a mind master."

King Cheng was resentful.

But in Wei Huanchu's eyes, the uncle's recent imitation of the eldest prince and the wise king was a bit poor.

As a fool, of course she doesn't have to look at this, she can have no worries.

Because the more out of line you are, the more people will say, "Look, you are really a fool." 】

Therefore, without waiting for his father and third uncle to continue, Wei Huanchu took his mother's hand, followed by the maid Xiaochan. The three of them were very rude, but reasonable and passed over King Xian and King Cheng, attracting The eyes of everyone on the second floor.

After finding the obviously best seat, Wei Huanchu sat down regardless of his status.

Ignoring the surprised looks of other royals, she looked towards the martial arts arena where the martial arts test had not yet started. In fact, she didn't want to come, but her mother always felt that since she was pretending to be crazy, she had to show her face outside from time to time to show everyone. Let's talk about how crazy the little princess is, otherwise the Third Prince of Dahuang might not be able to retreat.

After sitting down, Wei Huanchu had to welcome the surprised looks and goodwill from other royal family members.

Some were true and some were false, and sometimes she couldn't tell the difference.

Princess Ningshu and her sisters came over first with melons and fruits to express their friendship.

Wei Huanchu got along well with Princess Ningshu before, but it was just good, so he didn't react at all.

After they left, Princess Qingyao came here with several sisters who were all princesses and expressed her friendship.

Wei Huanchu and Princess Qingyao were not friendly before, so they were naturally even less likely to react.

The last person to come was Princess Tongzhu, the fifth prince's youngest daughter, who was already twenty this year and had not yet been married, and had a very strong figure.

Wei Huanchu tensed up immediately when he saw her, not because they were enemies, but because they were too good friends before.

Naturally, Tongzhu regarded the little princess as a sister, and her eyes immediately turned red when they met her.

"Huanchu, you don't even know how much my sister has missed you recently."

"When something happened to you before, I went to the palace every day." Tongzhu glared at Princess Jing and Xiaochan and complained: "They didn't let me in."

"Later, the palace told me that you were fine, but why didn't you see me? Why did the palace people still not let me see you."

"I also.."

"I also."

"Huanchu, can you hear me?"

Wei Huanchu didn't answer her, but put his hand on her leg beside him.

Sensing this action, Princess Tongzhu immediately opened her bell-like eyes, then covered them with her two fat hands, fearing that she would pull them away, and spoke a bunch of true words.

Wei Huanchu didn't pull away, but he never replied.

After talking for a long time, Princess Tongzhu, who wiped away her tears, seemed to understand the current situation between the two.

But this was good enough for her, so regardless of the way Princess Jing and Xiao Chan looked at her, she continued talking, but the content was different.

"Huanchu, I know you heard me. Let's not talk about the unhappy things. Let me tell you something fun."

As he spoke, Tongzhu glanced at Xiaochan. Xiaochan immediately poured her a cup of tea and glanced at the young lady with some worry. She knew that the reason why the young lady had not seen Princess Tongzhu these days was not because she was afraid of anything else, but because Afraid of not being able to hold on
Sure enough, after crying for a while, Princess Tongzhu took a sip of tea and started:

"I don't know if it was yesterday or the day before yesterday, but everyone heard the news."

As if she felt that what she said was boring, she scolded Xiaochan: "Ask me."

Xiaochan: "..." He glanced helplessly at Princess Jing, who had a loving smile on her face, and had to say: "What's the news?"

Princess Tongzhu lowered her voice: "Yes, this time the third son of Prince Dangbei came to get married, and the emperor actually let him choose the marriage partner!"

Xiaochan: "What then?"

Princess Tongzhu raised her head, first raised her chin towards Princess Shu Ning's group of people, and then looked at Princess Qingyao's group of people.

"No, these bastards are crazy! Otherwise, how many people could come here today?"

Xiaochan: "..." But at a glance, I really found that today it seems that everyone in Kyoto who is of marriageable age is here.
As an elder, Princess Qijing naturally said seriously: "Tongzhu."

Princess Tongzhu was not afraid of Princess Qijing's stubbornness, and said with a smile: "If you listen and watch here for a while, you will discover a fact." After that, she glanced at Xiaochan again.

Semi-automatic Ping Ke Xiaochan had no choice but to say: "What's the truth?"

Tongzhu almost spat and said disgustedly: "It's all about pretending."

Xiaochan: "..."

Princess Qijing: "..."

Fortunately, Wei Huanchu didn't take off his hat and gauze, so he could hide the slight tension, otherwise.
……

"Sister Ning Shu, didn't Grandpa Huang have an interest in you before? How come he can still let the third prince choose by himself after turning around?"

"This is naturally because Prince Dangbei has just made an unparalleled contribution, so naturally he will be given some unprecedented treatment."

"It's pitiful for us so-called princesses to be picked out like goods. We are really not as good as those peasants on the Huaihe River. At least we can refuse if we don't like it."

"A proton is a proton, it's just a date."

Princess Shu Ning, who had been silent until now, looked at the noisy sisters around her and shook her head: "You guys, just say that, don't just look at the Third Prince's handsomeness and start vying to marry him. "

"That's not possible. In our place, no matter your talent, appearance or figure, the prince has to take a liking to you."

Ning Shu rolled her eyes charmingly upon hearing this, which provoked another round of teasing.

But it can be seen that the eyes of the two princesses lit up when they heard that the prince was handsome, but Ning Shu blocked their words.

……

"Qingyao, if the third prince chooses you, will you agree?"

"I'm asking you to say who to choose. Is it a matter of whether you agree or not? It's the order of your parents and the words of the matchmaker, unless..."

After saying that, they all looked in the direction where Wei Huanchu was sitting.

"Huanchu is so stubborn that he actually wants to become a mind master."

Princess Qingyao shook her head at this time: "I used to get along with Huanchu just fine, but after this incident, I have deep admiration for her. If she returns to her original state one day, I am willing to be with her."

"Qingyao, I want to ask you about the third prince choosing you."

Princess Qingyao was interrupted and her face turned cold: "How can I marry such a young girl?"

"I think the rumors may not be true."

"Then you marry."

"I won't marry~~"

……

"Huanchu, believe it or not, one of these people counts, and now they say they don't want it. If the third prince really chooses her, she will be happy to death."

Wei Huanchu sat aside and naturally couldn't speak.

Xiaochan seemed to understand what she was going to do, so she asked, "How should I say it?"

Before Princess Tongzhu expressed her opinion, someone on the second floor shouted: "It's begun~!"

Naturally, everyone's eyes turned to the martial arts arena.

Where is the Third Prince?
……

The martial arts arena of Qingsong Academy is neatly and brightly covered with blue stone tiles.

Colorful flags were fluttering on both sides of the field, rustling in the morning breeze, and the stands were filled with people.

Under the leadership of a deacon in green clothes, more than a hundred young men and women who came to study for the martial arts competition in the academy entered the martial arts arena.

The martial arts performance hall of Qingsong Academy suddenly burst into cheers and boos.

Of course, the cheers are for the boys and girls who came to take part in the Qingsong Academy martial arts test today. They are full of youth and vitality, and it makes people happy to see them.

Of course the boos are for the Third Prince, there is no need to explain why.
It was among these boos that occasionally a voice would be heard: "Brother Chengfeng~~!" It made people's scalp numb and their skin crawling, but they didn't know why.

Zhao Chengfeng ignored the voice in the queue and was looking at the shooting range he was about to reach.

……

Princess Tongzhu: "As we all know, in Zhou Tianwu Competition, the first person to compete must be Bai Ya!"

Xiaochan: "I didn't ask either."

Princess Tongzhu Tongling's eyes widened.

Xiaochan: "What about Bai Ya?"

Princess Tongzhu pointed at a huge black target in the shooting range: "Piercing through the target and revealing the arrowhead is Bai Ya."

Xiaochan had no idea, so she asked: "Is it difficult?"

After finishing speaking, she added: "In recent years, the four major academies have improved and made bows, arrows, and arrow targets. Young people who are just perceiving the realm cannot shoot through this black target even with their true energy." .”

"But if the arrows can hit the bull's-eye, even if they don't penetrate, they will actually be ranked among the best in the academy's entrance examination for new students."

Xiaochan said "Oh".

When Wei Huanchu looked at the shooting range, he actually wanted to smash a melon seed.
but.
……

At this time, in the shooting range, the first candidate was ready to go.

He drew his bow and shot an arrow. Amidst the cheers of the crowd, the arrow cluster reached the black target, but it fell out of strength, causing a burst of ridicule.

He blushed and quickly changed to the second person.

It’s just that the second candidate was even worse.

The distance of a hundred feet, his own strength, the use of true energy, and the skill of archery are all indispensable, but he didn't even touch the target.

Fortunately, the third candidate saved the bad start in time. He shot an arrow and finally hit the target. Although it was a little far away from the target, the arrows hit the target.

The performance of the next candidates varied, but there was no doubt that being able to hit the black target, let alone Byakuya, was considered a good result.The whole audience was drowsy after watching it. The standard of this hospital examination was indeed average.

The fat-faced man who had been having a bad life recently asked Zhugan in the stands: "What's your best score in the previous college exam?"

Zhugan really knew: "The arrows penetrated the bull's-eye and were all exposed. They belong to Yinglong Academy."

Before he could finish speaking, cheers erupted from the originally quiet venue.

It turns out that with just a little effort and some nagging, someone actually completed this project and truly reached the level of "White Ya".

Looking up, I saw that the arrow had actually penetrated the black target. Although the tip of the arrow cluster had just emerged, it was already white.

The only flaw is that the accuracy is a little off, missing the target by more than two inches. However, the person who shot this arrow is obviously the best in physical strength, cultivation level, and archery skills in this academy test.

At this time, this leader was waving, and soon many people knew his name - Zhang Jingzhong.

Then there was another exclamation from the stands, and it turned out to be his exclamation.

After Zhang Jingzhong finished waving, he glanced at Zhao Chengfeng for some unknown reason. The provocation was obvious, but the third prince didn't seem to see his eyes.

……

On the second floor of the small building, Princess Ningshu looked at this scene and thought that if the prince could achieve this, he would be successful, but...
Princess Qingyao was actually still making sarcastic remarks: "I saw that the third prince only had an embroidered pillow in his skin. His arms were not as thick as a paulownia bamboo. Not to mention the arrows hitting the target, even if they got on him, he would be fine." No shame.”

Several sisters around her echoed, and there was some harsh laughter, but there was always someone:
"But should I say it or not, the Third Prince is good-looking."

"Indeed, indeed, I look a little more melancholy today than when I was in the Imperial City."

"How can you not be depressed? I'm going to show my shame soon."

"There are a few more to come to him."

"two."

"Previous."

"Urentua?"

"Why does it sound familiar?"

At this time, listening to their conversation, Princess Tongzhu shouted: "She is the only person on the Qingyun Ranking in this college examination, ranking 42nd."

"The Great Wilderness?"

"Yes"

"Then Dangbei Palace lost to Dahuang, wouldn't it?"

Everyone said in unison: "I've lost my lord~~"

……

"Why is the whole world targeting my brother~!"

After learning who Urentuya was, the members of the Wind Wind Club in the stands felt like mourning their heirs.

The key point is that Dangbei Palace and Dahuang have been fighting for many years. It can be described as a blood feud. Now, although Dahuang is forced to negotiate a peace, it is just a stopgap measure. Their hatred for Dangbei Palace is actually stronger than in previous years, especially that A land cession treaty that was humiliating and humiliating to the country.

The people of Zhou Tian have become accustomed to treating Dahuang as their enemy over the years. Even if they are the victors, even a land ceding treaty cannot wash away the grudges they have accumulated over the years.

Let's put it this way, if Wu Rentuya can beat Zhao Chengfeng.

As long as the news reaches Dahuang, she will become a hero, even if it is a college examination.

Regardless of whether Zhao Chengfeng was the weakest, most notorious, dandy, and most useless son of King Dangbei, as long as he could win, the entire Dahuang clan would be happy.

And if Zhao Chengfeng loses.
The people of Beizhou will not be happy, and the people of Zhongzhou will not be happy either. The whole capital will lose something because of him, and Zhoutian will lose something because of him.
However, Wu Rentuya was right in front of Zhao Chengfeng. After she finished shooting, it would be Zhao Chengfeng's turn.

Anyway, suddenly, a college examination involved national honor.
……

Many students from the four major academies stood up one after another.

Although they did not cheer for Zhao Chengfeng, they were now praying for Urentuya to perform abnormally.

The royal family on the second floor, both young and old, all came to the railing. Of course, they couldn't see any damage to Zhoutian Glory.

Urintua held the bow and looked at the black target while the entire audience was silent.

The wind blew up her two thick braids. She spread her legs forward and backward, and drew the bow string like a full moon. She raised one of her eyes, and her whole body seemed to turn into a statue, motionless. , but it also gives people the feeling that an arrow is about to leave the string, and a tiger is about to emerge from the cage in an instant.

When the entire martial arts arena could hear needles dropping, a dark cloud came in the sky and blocked half of the sunshine.

The wind also stopped at this time.

So, Urentuya, who was half bright and half dark, let go of her rough little hand.

An arrow flew out of the bowstring, and immediately there was a sonic boom that pierced the eardrums, and then everyone saw a stream of light heading straight for the target.

"Bang~~!" A dull sound.

The arrow cluster hit the bull's-eye and was piercing.

People with higher realms can even see arrow clusters spinning crazily on the bullseye as long as they focus their eyes.

"Bah."

An almost imperceptible sound indicates that the target disk has been penetrated.

Fat Face and Bamboo Rod, who were on the stand behind the target, saw that the white heads of the arrow clusters were exposed, and more and more were exposed, as if they were about to be drilled out.

still
As the arrow feathers hit the bullseye with great power and trembled at high speed, the martial arts field could no longer be described as audible as the needle dropped, but should be completely silent.

The deacon of the academy who was responsible for verifying the results took the first step in respite because of his responsibility.

He came to the black target, took out the ruler, and reported the result: "Urentuya, hit the bull's eye, showing two inches."

As a result, some people in the audience breathed a sigh of relief, because the standard arrow cluster is two inches eight inches, and two inches are exposed, which means that it is not completely exposed. At least the hospital examination record is still on Zhou Tian.
As for the next third son of Prince Dangbei?
No, we can’t expect this person to break this achievement.
Today, the third prince seems destined to be stepped on by the wilderness.

It seems that Kyoto is also going to be disgusted by the wilderness.
……

Fat Face and Zhugan looked at each other with despair in their eyes.

Although Zhao Chengfeng cheated them last time, Zhou Tian's sense of honor was overwhelming at this moment, and they must be firmly on Zhou Tian's side and on their 'Xiao Zhao' side.

But this result
What to win?

The clusters penetrate two inches.
Do you expect Zhao Chengfeng, a dandy, to break the record of that senior from Yinglong Academy?
This is definitely not realistic.

……

Tongzhu shouted in despair: "It's over, it's over, it's incomparable."

Xiaochan's eyes widened and she still hadn't recovered. Looking at the scene just now, she suddenly felt like she wanted to learn archery.
Wei Huanchu remained motionless, his ears filled with noise.

"It's not a shame to lose, right?"

"It's definitely not winnable anyway."

"No, why do people on the Qingyun List take the college examination?"

"Because she is from Dahuang, and the Third Prince is from Prince Dangbei's Palace."

Princess Ningshu sighed: "Oh."

Qingyao spoke at this time and said something even more heartbreaking: "Actually, now I am not afraid that the Third Prince will lose to her. I am just afraid that when he pulls the bow, he misses the target and misses the target. That's really true."

Everyone immediately felt an extreme sense of shame just listening to it.
And above the second floor, among the royal family.

King Xian, who was standing on the railing, looked at King Cheng and said, "Third brother, do you want to take a gamble?"

The corners of Cheng Wang's mouth were full of bitterness now, but he also knew that the outcome was decided, so he asked: "What are you betting on?"

King Xian: "I bet on a miracle. The Third Prince will win. What do you bet on?"

King Cheng said: "Seventh brother, I know you like to play, but at this time, okay, okay, if the third prince can win here, I dare to give you the summer hunting ground in the south of the suburbs."

King Xian's eyes widened: "No, let's play something small, then we can really make it happen."

King Cheng: "It's that summer hunting ground! It's not Lao Qi, what are you imagining~?"

King Xian: "I was wondering, third brother, if there are stupid roe deer in your hunting ground."

……

The dark clouds that had just half covered the sun now completely blocked all light.

The world between heaven and earth has dimmed like this, just like the mood of everyone in the martial arts arena of Qingsong Academy now.
Wu Rentuya used her absolute strength to prove her merit in being on the Nine Provinces and Four Seas Qingyun Ranking. She almost broke the record of the four major academies in the college entrance examination, only missing a trace of strength.

Now the much-anticipated scene has finally arrived.

Zhao Chengfeng, the third son of Prince Dangbei, is about to appear.

but.
The nature has changed.

Originally, the students from the four major academies who came here today did come to see him make a fool of himself.

But if, as Princess Qingyao said just now, he can't even shoot a normal arrow, it will not only bring shame to Dangbei Palace, but also bring disgrace to Zhou Tianren, who will all feel ashamed.
Therefore, what everyone is looking forward to now is naturally not that Zhao Chengfeng will win, but that he can shoot a decent arrow.
They originally came to see him make a fool of himself, but now they want him to be decent. The Zhou Tian people in the audience had complicated expressions, sad faces, and even silence.
In such an environment, Zhao Chengfeng took the bow and arrow handed over by the academy deacon and went to where he should be.

Then, under the gaze of everyone, he raised his bow and nocked the arrow.

There is no sunlight in the sky.

There was no wind in the martial arts arena.

All eyes watched as he drew the bowstring.

A "squeaking" sound appeared, and the black long bow was pulled out to an extreme bend in an instant.
When people covered their cheeks and seemed to feel something different, Zhao Chengfeng was still pulling the bow. His powerful archery posture seemed not to shoot an arrow, but to break the bow into pieces.

The sound of squeaking continued, and the bend of the long bow seemed to have reached its extreme, and it was about to break. He finally let go of the arrow.

So everyone felt that their eyes were filled with flowers.

No streamer.

Not even a sound.

The arrows, hung with colorful feathers, seemed to disappear after leaving the bowstring.

All that was left was the bowstring that trembled and left an afterimage.

Then startling things started to happen.

靶心
empty
To be precise, many people saw a small hole appear in the bullseye on the black archery target at this moment.
Still no fletching
But now there is a voice.

It was a sound like the friction of iron pieces, which sharply scratched people's eardrums.

Then with a violent impact, the arrow cluster finally appeared, appearing on the stone wall a hundred feet away behind the target, and broke into pieces.
The whole audience was shocked.
The world is afraid of silence
The same was true on the second floor of the small building, but someone quickly broke the silence.

Princess Tongzhu stared with copper bell-like eyes, squeezed Wei Huanchu's hand tightly, and said excitedly:

"He cums so hard~~!"

"It's all penetrated!~~"
