From the Red Mansion, you can travel through the world of martial arts

Chapter 36 There is no arrow on Su Can's target

"Lord Duolong!" Jia Wei waved his hand.

"What can I do for you, Master Jia?"

Duolong immediately came forward with a shameless face, not caring at all about his status as a second-rank military officer. Although the rank of a military officer is not worth much...

Jia Wei took out the 1,000 taels of silver note he had won from Su Can at the Jiaofang Division and asked, "Can I place a bet?"

Duolong immediately covered the banknote with both hands, looked around cautiously, and when he saw that no one saw it, he quickly pulled Su Can aside.

"According to common sense, since you are a contestant, you definitely can't do that, but I can place a bet on your behalf..."

Suddenly he looked at Jia Wei's banknotes and seemed to remember something: "Master Jia, you are really a genius. You are the contestant, and the victory or defeat is decided by you, right?

"I see that you are the strongest among the four present. It's no problem for you to beat Mr. Liu. Then everyone will think that you can win, but you deliberately lose to Bordo. Not only can we make a lot of money, but we can also sell well to the factory master Qiansui!"

Duolong immediately bowed his hands and said with great joy: "My admiration for Master Jia is like the surging river, which is endless, or like the flooding of the Yellow River, which is out of control..."

Jia Wei patted Duolong on the shoulder and said, "Well, it's good that we can place a bet. Lord Duolong, please help me bet on myself to win the title of martial arts champion."

"Ah?" Doron was stunned.

The assessment continued, with Su Can and Bordo taking the archery and horse riding assessment first.

I saw two people jumping on their horses at the same time, galloping on their horses, drawing their bows and shooting arrows at the targets.

Jia Wei looked and saw that both of them hit the bull's eye of the target. Su Can's force was greater and he shot straight through the target.

Su Can rode past the rest area on horseback and raised his fist towards Jia Wei with a smug look on his face.

"Wow, my son shot it through, so that should at least add two more points, right?" Old Man Su said while shaking Duolong.

Duolong looked miserable: "Damn it, I bet on Bordo to win..."

Then the examiner from the Ministry of War announced the target: "There is no arrow on Su Can's target. Bordo wins!"

There was a burst of applause at the scene, and Su Can's smile froze. He looked at Bordo, who just sneered at him.

"Are you kidding me?" Old Man Su's face was full of anger.

"This examiner is so impartial!" Duolong smiled and gave a thumbs up.

Jia Wei and Liu Fang stood up together, and both of them said at the same time: "Please."

Following the examiner's order, Jia Wei rode out on his horse, put his arrow on the target and aimed at the bull's eye. With Su Can's experience as a lesson learned, he deliberately restrained his strength.

"call out!"

The arrow flew out at a high speed and easily pierced the bull's eye.

"This……"

Jia Wei hadn't touched a bow or horse for a long time, so he was a little unfamiliar with it. In addition, his strength had increased too much, and he miscalculated the force.

But he didn't care. In terms of power and influence, the Duke of Liguo's Mansion was better than the Ningguo Mansion. He hadn't offended anyone, so how could there be any shady dealings?
The two men rode back to the starting point, and Liu Fang bowed to him and said, "Brother Jia is a master of martial arts. I admire him."

"I am over-flattered……"

Su Can came up and said, "Haha, you shot it through too. I feel much more balanced now."

The examiner continued to report the target: "Liu Fang hit the bull's eye, ten points. Jia Wei shot through the bull's eye. His arm strength is amazing, so he gets an extra point!"

"Ah?" Su Can's face was full of excitement.

"Wow, there is something fishy going on!" Old Man Su shouted, and Duolong next to him quickly covered his mouth.

"The Emperor and the Factory Master are both up there, do you want to die, Lord Su?"

Seeing Jia Wei's confidence, Duolong also suppressed him. Now that he has earned several thousand taels of silver, he is naturally happy.

Jia Wei patted Su Can on the shoulder and said, "Come on, second place is already very good." Then they started fighting immediately. Su Can and Bordo raised their swords and slashed at each other. After only one round, Su Can's sword broke.

Jia Wei couldn't help laughing when watching this scene, and Liu Fang on the side also shook her head when seeing this.

"Even the weapons were tampered with? This is really..." Liu Fang wanted to say something but stopped himself and just sighed.

Then Su Can rode his horse to the weapon rack beside him, holding two fruit knives to resist Bordo's double axes.

However, the gap in strength between the two was too great. Even though Bordo used all his tricks and even used hidden weapons, he failed to win. Instead, he was hit by his own hidden weapon.

The examiner came on stage again: "This round is a horse battle. Su Can's feet landed first, and Bordo won! Bordo won two out of three games and advanced!"

Liu Fang sighed and said, "I hope that Brother Jia and I can have a fair competition."

Jia Wei smiled and said, "Don't worry, there will be a reversal!"

Suddenly, Bordo fell to the ground, foaming at the mouth. Liu Fang asked in surprise, "Could it be that the hidden weapon is poisonous? How did Brother Jia know that?"

Bordo died from his own hidden weapon, so Su Can had to advance. Jia Wei and Liu Fang saluted each other, put on their armor and went to the battlefield.

Jia Wei casually pulled out a horse lance from the weapon rack and climbed on his horse. His horse fighting skills were average, but his martial arts skills were there, so naturally he wouldn't be too bad.

The two charged at each other, struck each other, and then retreated. Liu Fang clenched the sword in his hand, only to feel a sharp pain in his wrist.

However, Jia Wei had great internal strength and felt nothing. He turned his horse around and attacked again.

Liu Fang was good at horse fighting, but his internal strength was weak, and his martial arts skills were only third-rate. Jia Wei thought that he was a friend after all, so he let him off the horse, and only after several dozen moves did he defeat him.

Liu Fang stood up somewhat unwillingly, but still bowed and said, "Thank you, Brother Jia, for showing mercy."

"Thank you for admitting it!"

Jia Wei dismounted to rest, and Su Can came up to him and said a few bad words, but Jia Wei ignored him and said seriously: "Su Can, I observed the celestial phenomena last night, and you will have a disaster today..."

"What robbery? Did I break a bone from the punch on your face? Tsk, Brother Jia, do you think I was scared?" Su Can laughed.

"If you don't believe me, forget it. After today, don't blame me for not warning you in advance."

Jia Wei turned and left, thinking that although Su Can was a lowly person, he had good kung fu and was a martial arts champion, so he was qualified to be his younger brother, so he wanted to remind him. But Su Can didn't appreciate it, so he let it go.

Su Can quickly chased after him: "Hey, if you have anything to say, just say it quickly. Are you trying to play psychological tactics?"

……

A moment later, a eunuch wearing a dragon robe walked onto the stage and shouted at the top of his voice, "Your Majesty's order: You two are skilled in archery and horse riding, and have great martial arts skills. I am very pleased with you. I order you to come on stage and compete to see who wins. I decree this."

Jia Wei and Su Can quickly received the order and followed the eunuch inside until they reached the stage.

"There are countless heroes in the world, but only you, Brother Jia, are worthy of competing with me." On the way, Su Can was still talking nonsense: "Today, I decided to use 80% of my strength... Brother Jia is honest and upright, he shouldn't cheat like that bastard just now, right?"

Jia Wei ignored it. After all, there were many taboos in an audience with the emperor.

After he stepped onto the stage, Su Can also shut up and walked forward with his head down, not daring to look around. The two were wearing armor and their salute was simple.

Jia Wei bowed and said, "Student Jia Wei pays respect to His Majesty."

Su Can also shouted along with him.

Emperor Xuanwu looked at the two men. They were wearing armor and looked even more majestic than that day. Thinking that they were among the top in the military examination, he said in a deep voice, "Stand up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Jia Wei looked calm, but Su Can frowned. He felt that the voice was familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a moment...
