I'm in the Red Mansion

Chapter 135 Even though there are thousands of people, I will go

Jia Cong really didn't want to compete with Feng Ziying in archery.

It's not about being afraid of losing, but being afraid of winning.

Since moving, he would come here every day to exercise and gain archery experience every day.

Therefore, he learned his archery experience very quickly.

Now his archery skills have reached perfection.

[Archery (Perfect): 65/5000]

Although the eldest senior brother started practicing martial arts many years earlier than him, he must have reached a bottleneck, right?

However, his proficiency panel system does not have any bottleneck. As long as he has enough experience, he will be able to upgrade.

Even if the eldest senior brother's archery skills reached perfection, he would only be on par with him.

That's already scary.

And if the eldest senior brother’s archery skills are not yet perfect and he really loses the archery competition with him, it would be even more embarrassing.

Feng Ziying pulled Jia Cong's arm and walked towards the martial arts arena, saying solemnly:

"Junior brother, you must not let down your guard in this competition. You must go all out!"

"This matter is of great importance, so please do not keep it to yourself!"

Jia Cong was confused after hearing these words.

He had known the senior brother for so long, but this was the first time he saw him begging him so seriously.

It was difficult for Jia Cong to refuse him.

So he said, "Okay, don't worry, Big Brother. I will do my best."

Soon, the two arrived at the martial arts arena.

Feng Ziying couldn't help but ask, "Junior brother, how many steps have you trained to hit the bull's eye?"

"Don't worry about my feelings, just tell me the truth, don't hide anything!"

Jia Cong thought for a moment and said, "One hundred and fifty steps!"

The range of an ordinary archer is less than a hundred steps.

Even if it could shoot a hundred steps away, it would be like a weak crossbow with the power of a spent force and would not be able to penetrate the silk cloth of Lu!

Their effective range is about seventy or eighty steps.

The range of an ordinary sharpshooter is about one hundred steps.

And just a few days ago, Xue Pan sent him another precious bow.

This bow was pawned at the Xue family's pawnshop.

This bow was pawned for five hundred taels of silver.

This bow is truly worth a fortune.

After getting the bow, Xue Pan gave it to Jia Cong.

When Jia Cong wanted to give him money, Xue Pan turned hostile on the spot.

Jia Cong had no choice but to give up.

With this precious bow, Jia Cong's shooting range has reached 150 steps.

When Feng Ziying heard about Jia Cong's shooting range, he was extremely surprised.

You know, even his longest shooting range is only one hundred and thirty steps.

Moreover, at a distance of one hundred and thirty steps, his accuracy would be affected to a certain extent, and he would not be able to hit the target every time.

If the junior brother's shooting range really reaches 150 steps, then his archery skills are indeed much better than his.

Thinking of this, Feng Ziying hurriedly asked again: "Junior brother, are you serious? Is your shooting range really one hundred and fifty steps?"

Jia Cong looked at Feng Ziying with a helpless expression.

Do you think I am saying it is good or not?
Finally, Jia Cong said, "The range is 150 steps, but I can't guarantee its accuracy."

Feng Ziying couldn't help but pull Jia Cong's arm and said, "Junior brother, come on and show me!"

"Remember, don't keep anything to yourself, this matter is of great importance!"

You just say it's a serious matter but you don't say what it is. What a joke.

Jia Cong had no choice but to stand one hundred and fifty steps away from the target.

Then he picked up the bow and started shooting. This time, he really didn't hold back.

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!
He shot very quickly and soon used up all the sixteen arrows in his quiver.

Both of them were sharpshooters. Although the distance was 150 steps, they could still see the target clearly.

These sixteen arrows actually hit the bull's eye every time.

Feng Ziying was afraid that he had seen it wrong, so he ran closer to take a closer look.

Then he was surprised to find that the sixteen arrows were placed in an orderly manner.

It wasn't shot randomly.

This discovery made Feng Ziying gasp.

He was truly amazed by his junior fellow apprentice's archery skills!
A distance of one hundred and fifty steps!

I'm afraid there are only a few sharpshooters with such arm strength in the whole of Daxia.

Not to mention, at this distance, he can quickly shoot sixteen arrows, and every arrow will hit the bull's eye!

Without him realizing it, the archery skills of the junior brother have far surpassed his!
For a moment, Feng Ziying couldn't help feeling a little lost.

But soon, he became inexplicably excited.

Junior brother’s archery skills are far better than his!

In this way, my junior brother can take part in the competition the day after tomorrow.

Feng Ziying believed that with his junior fellow apprentice's archery skills, he would definitely win.

At least his chances of winning are much greater than last time!

Thinking of this, Feng Ziying walked up to Jia Cong and said solemnly: "Junior brother, I want to ask you for a favor. I hope you can agree to it."

Jia Cong said, "Big Brother, if you have anything to say, just tell me. As long as I can do it, I will not refuse."

Since we met, the eldest senior brother has taken good care of me.

Therefore, as long as it is something he can do, Jia Cong will definitely help his senior brother.

Seeing Jia Cong agree so readily, Feng Ziying was also very happy.

Next, he gave a detailed account of how the Qing Dynasty sent an envoy group to negotiate with Daxia and how they finally decided to use a bow and arrow competition to determine the ownership of Caogu County.

Then Feng Ziying said to Jia Cong: "Junior brother, in the end, I, the senior brother, won the competition."

"It has been finally decided that I will compete with the sharpshooter sent by the Qing Dynasty the day after tomorrow."

"But I, Senior Brother, am not at all sure about this, so I thought of you, Junior Brother."

"And just as I expected, Junior Brother's archery skills are ten times better than mine!"

"If Junior Brother comes out to compete, he will definitely win, and in doing so, we can also save Caogu County of Daxia!"

"For Caogu County, for the glory of our Great Xia, please come fight, little brother!"

After listening to what Feng Ziying said, Jia Cong couldn't help but be dazed.

He never expected that so many things would happen in between.

Jia Cong did not hear any news about the negotiations between the Qing envoys and Daxia.

There were absolutely no rumors among the people.

Sure enough, for many things, you can only know what the top management wants you to know.

If the top leaders don't want you to know, the common people at the bottom will never know it.

Based on his perfect archery skills, Jia Cong still has some confidence in the comparative test.

However, if I really compete on behalf of my senior brother, there would still be risks.

There is no need to talk about offending the Qing Dynasty.

This competition was originally approved by the retired emperor.

If he won, he might offend the emperor.

It is estimated that it will also offend the conservatives on Qin Xiang's side.

But, should I back off just because I’m afraid of offending others?

Are we going to hand over Caogu County to the Qing Dynasty?
Jia Cong felt that he couldn't follow his heart!

A real man has something to do and something not to do.

Although there are thousands of people, I am going!
