Adore Trick of Beauty

Chapter 326: Archery Competition (1)

Zou Nonfang's words made Nie Wushuang feel desolate in his heart. There was a lot of excitement and joy in front of him, but the woman beside him had long since lost all her shrewd calculations and was focusing on being a good wife and mother. Nie Wushuang didn't understand whether she really saw through it or it was a kind of resistance to Xiao Fengqing's helplessness.

She was uneasy, but there was a group of people shouting happily at the archery field over there. Nie Wushuang calmed down and looked around, and saw a group of guards in bright yellow uniforms from a distance, guarding a man in black robes galloping towards them.

He was wearing the same black attire as the masters of Yingguo's archery, with a colorful dragon embroidered with gold thread on it. The dragon's body was coiled around his tall and straight torso, showing his majesty and innate nobility. His long ink-like hair was neatly tied up with a gold crown, his face was handsome and elegant, and his facial features were outlined like a fine ink painting, with a long meaning.

He is Xiao Fengming. Everyone on the field knelt down one after another, and the roaring voice was filled with unprecedented excitement: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live..."

Xiao Fengming dismounted, handed the reins to the guards on the side, and walked up to Messenger Yelu: "I will also try my skills today. The outcome on the field will be determined by God. I have tried my best. Your emperor will not default on his debt, right?"

Messenger Yelu knelt on the ground and raised his head after hearing the words. He looked at the new-looking Xiao Fengming in front of him with surprise and uncertainty. He didn't know what to say for a long time. He heard that Xiao Fengming knew martial arts. When he was young, he followed the late emperor of Ying Kingdom on various expeditions. He was considered to be both civil and martial arts master, but he really didn't know how good his martial arts skills were. Now that Xiao Fengming dares to compete, is he really sure to come out on top, or is he trying to use the power of the emperor to make the other two players feel pressured and dare not go all out?

He was thinking unsteadily, Xiao Fengming smiled and raised his sword eyebrows slightly: "Does Messenger Yelu think that I am not qualified to play? Feng?"

Messenger Yelu was shocked and said quickly: "No, no!"

"It's okay if it's not." Xiao Fengming said calmly, turned around and entered the field.

The Yelu messenger looked at his leaving figure with a trace of murderous intent in his eyes. He had received a secret order from Yelutu last night...

The competition began, with Ying Guo wearing black uniforms, Qi Guo wearing white, and Qin Guo wearing red. The first game of the three games is a standing archery competition to see who can shoot the farthest and most accurately. Ying Guo was presented with a young man with an ordinary face. He was tall and slender, with a cold expression. He looked unattractive. At least he was much different from the masters of Qin State. The State of Qin sent a man with bulging muscles, his eyes were like bells, and his arms were extremely strong. It looked like he had good arm strength. The one from Qi State was an old man who was over fifty years old. His face was covered with wind and frost, and his face was dark, like a hunter who often went to the mountains to hunt. It seems that Gu Qinghong also tried his best to find good players.

Nie Wushuang looked a little worried from the high platform and said to Princess Rui on the side: "This game may not be good."

Princess Rui didn't have much insight, but Yang Zhi behind her knew the news. He said: "Empress and Princess, don't worry, this young man's name is Ouyang Ning, he is the beloved son of Ouyang Ye, the 'Archer Master' in the martial arts world. This time Hearing that the emperor wanted to select a master archer among the people to compete with the Qin State, the master archer broke the convention of not having anything to do with the court and personally sent his son to the capital. This Ouyang Ning defeated the masters from all over the country along the way. Only then was he selected. The emperor also admires him very much."

Nie Wushuang looked at the plain-looking Ouyang Ning in the field and nodded: "Since it comes from such a background, I'm afraid the first game is still interesting."

While she was talking, a competition started off the court. In the first game of the first game, each person has three arrows. One point is awarded for hitting a target 100 steps away, five points for hitting a target 200 steps away, and ten points for hitting a target 500 steps away. The archery target a hundred steps away was easily hit by the three players. Soon, the archery target two hundred steps away was easily hit. Now it comes to the most critical archery target five hundred steps away. Whoever hits the target wins the first game of the first game.

All eyes on the court were fixed on the faces of the three people. Ouyang Ning lowered his head, wondering what he was thinking. When he raised his head, his face was as calm as water. The people on the sidelines were silent, and they could only hear the whistling of the wind passing by everyone's ears.

Ouyang Ning aimed at the almost invisible target. The bow in his hand was stretched to the shape of a full moon. Finally, he let go. Everyone only heard a whoosh and the sound of a golden blade breaking through the air. The messenger quickly rode over to take a look. After a while, he waved his hand and made a gesture. Everyone on the field cheered: Hit! And it still hit the target!

Sure enough, he is a descendant of the "Sacred Archer" who can hit an arrow target five hundred steps away! The envoys of Qin and Qi on the side couldn't help but turned cold when they saw it. No one had ever thought that such a thin and ordinary young man could possess special skills. Looking at the faint smile on Xiao Fengming's face who was watching the battle, they all felt an inexplicable pressure in their hearts. This time, Emperor Ying seemed to think that this competition and bet was nothing more than a child's play.

Envoy Yelu from the State of Qin's eyes twitched, and his face was as dark as the bottom of a pot. Sure enough, the players sent by the State of Qin were quickly defeated. Under the huge pressure of Ouyang Ning to win first, coupled with the distance of 500 steps, It was too difficult and he couldn't hit the target at all.

Ouyang Ning stood, and a hoarse voice came from beside him: "Sure enough, life is terrible."

He turned around, and the person speaking was the wizened old man from Qi who looked like he had emerged from the mountains, who was preparing to shoot an arrow.

"Senior accepted!" He cupped his fists, his face still expressionless.

The old man glanced at him, nocked his bow and stepped forward, raised his bow and shot an arrow with smooth movements. The messenger quickly went to check the result. After a while, he waved and made a gesture. Everyone in the field couldn't help but exclaimed: He also hit the bull's-eye!

This result was a big surprise. The envoys from Qi who were watching the battle all looked at Gu Qinghong. Gu Qinghong looked towards the sky, facing

A flash of relief passed over him. The wizened old man he invited this time was none other than the younger brother of his archery master, Uncle Lin Ping, known as the "Shadowless Ghost Hand" in Qi State.

On the high platform, Nie Wushuang couldn't help but look at Gu Qinghong, who was sitting in the audience, with complicated emotions. He was always like this, always planning everything well, unexpectedly. I'm afraid Xiao Fengming's chances of winning this time in the archery competition were weakened a bit because of him.

Xiao Fengming also glanced at Gu Qinghong, his eyes filled with surprise and admiration. It stands to reason that Qi is the weakest among the Three Kingdoms now, but there are many elites like him who are fully supporting it and fighting against the powerful Qin. It is really a centipede that will not die even if it is dead, and cannot be underestimated in the slightest.

On the court, Ouyang Ning's untroubled face suddenly cracked open when he saw the result. He thought for a moment and raised his voice: "Change the bow! Five hundred and fifty steps!"

After he finished speaking, he took a heavy black bow from an old man with gray hair in the audience. The courtesy officer glanced at Xiao Fengming, who nodded. The wizened old man didn't take it seriously: "Change the bow. My old man will also change the bow and arrow that he is good at."

Envoy Yelu had been defeated a long time ago, so naturally he had nothing to say. Ouyang Ning pulled the bow, and there was a "collapse" sound. He flicked the bow string lightly, and the sound immediately shook the archery range. The wizened old man couldn't help but turn around when he heard the sound: "Boy, is this bow a 'sun-shooting bow'? You actually want to bet on the outcome with this bow?"

"This is not a bet. In this competition, the Ouyang family will definitely win the results I deserve! Even if I, Ouyang Ning, get my blood splashed on the spot, I will not hesitate!" Ouyang Ning said loudly, his young and ordinary face actually glowing. A different look comes. On the sidelines, his father had tears in his eyes and looked happy and tragic at the same time.

Nie Wushuang was wondering when Xiao Fengqing snorted coldly: "This 'Sun Shooting Bow' is a heavy bow. I heard it has the strength of a thousand stones, and it takes a lot of strength just to draw it full. What's more, you have to aim, a Unfortunately, if the archer's strength is slightly off, and the bow and arrow are released, he will be injured by the force of the bow's rebound, and the consequences will be disastrous."

Hearing Xiao Fengqing's explanation, several timid concubines around Nie Wushuang on the high platform exclaimed. Nie Wushuang sighed: "Why bother? If this game is a draw, there will be two games in the first game. If Ouyang Ning is injured, Aren’t you, the remaining two games of the first game unmatched?”

"But Wen Wu is first and Wu Wu is second. A tie means a loss. This is the first game again. Even if Ouyang Ning tries his best, he still has to be first. This will test the morale of our team in the next match. But it is very important." Xiao Fengqing replied.

Nie Wushuang sighed in his heart. Sure enough, after Ouyang Ning finished speaking, everyone's hearts were boiling with excitement, they were shouting and cheering, and their morale was high. Ouyang Ning lucked out, shouted loudly, drew the bow to full capacity, and made a "swish" sound, like a meteor passing through everyone's eyes. From a distance, the messenger came forward to check, and suddenly turned around and cheered: Hit! Got it!

Hit! Ouyang Ning actually hit the bullseye 550 steps away!

Lin Ping, the wizened old man of Qi State - "Shadowless Ghost Hand", shook his head. Gu Qinghong stepped forward, slightly worried: "Uncle, how about my nephew give you the 'Sun-Ying Bow'?"

Lin Ping shook his head: "No, your 'Yingsun Bow' is a light bow, and his 'Sunshooting Bow' is a heavy bow. Give me your bow. Even if I am strong enough, your bow won't be able to withstand it. What if?" If the bow is broken, wouldn't it mean that a perfect bow has been ruined?"

Gu Qinghong wanted to say more, but Lin Ping patted him on the shoulder: "I'll try my best, old man. If I lose, it will only be because of the inability of the bow and arrow..."

At this time, Ouyang Ning suddenly stepped forward and said: "Since Daxia Lin thinks that the bow and arrow are not as good as the junior's 'Sun Shooting Bow', then let Daxia Lin use this bow. Only in this way will the outcome be fair!"

As soon as he said this, everyone in the audience was surprised, seeing that the result of a steady victory was about to have twists and turns again. Who could be so stupid?

Xiao Fengming smiled and said: "It is indeed a man's uprightness. As you wish, Hero Lin will also use this bow to compete."

Lin Ping was also aroused with pride: "Okay! Today I will try the 'Sun Shooting Bow' passed down by the Ouyang family. If I come to Yingjing, I will die in peace!"

As he spoke, he stepped forward to draw the bow and draw the arrow. With a loud shout, he drew the bow full, and with a "swish" sound, the arrow flew out like lightning. The messenger went to check and shot, but the accuracy was off by one point.

It seems that the outcome is decided. The first game of the first game alone was already breathless for both of them, let alone what followed. Nie Wushuang was shocked and amazed. The second game of the first game begins. It is about who can shoot two arrows, three arrows, or even four arrows at the same time. The one who hits the bull's-eye with the most arrows is the winner. The scene was even more intense, with each of the three teams winning or losing. In the final scoring, Ouyang Ning won the first place. It was a good start for Ying Guo.

The audience watched intently, cheering for the result. Suddenly, a lazy voice sounded in Nie Wushuang's ears: "What's this? They can only shoot four arrows at most. The really powerful one is Gu Qinghong. He can shoot five arrows in a row. He is a real opponent because of his superb archery skills!"

Nie Wushuang was startled and couldn't help but look at Xiao Fengqing. Xiao Fengqing took advantage of the fact that everyone's attention on the high platform was not on him, and suddenly asked with a half-smile, "Don't you know how powerful he is?"

Nie Wushuang's eyes darkened, and something dark surged through her heart. Yes, she didn't know. Gu Qinghong never showed his martial arts skills in front of her. At most, she knew that he was good at both civil and military skills. He refused to tell the rest, so she naturally stopped asking.

"Haha, it seems that he is hiding a lot of things from you." Xiao Fengqing came over, opening and closing her thin lips, but the words she said made her whole body stand on end: "Don't you want to know why he wanted to destroy all your Nie family members? ?"

"Or don't you want to know that his real name is not Gu, but Xie?

, Thank you from the Huainan Xie family! "

"He, Gu Qinghong, is the only surviving descendant of the Xie family in Huainan when the whole family was wiped out. Xie Chengxuan, the eldest son!"
