Chapter 893 An Arrow Astonishing (Part 1)

Dugu Sheng did not expect that the prospective daughter-in-law from the Eastern Emperor Dynasty would be so forthright.

He immediately became interested, and ordered: "Since that's the case, then it's settled. Come and move the target."

Beside Qingmeng, the young lady twitched her man with some unease: "Damn, is there really a comparison? My bow technique is not good, just in case..."

"What if it's ten thousand, even that Donghuangsheng dares to compare, what are you afraid of? The last one is definitely that idiot princess. When she sees it, who can protect her," Qing Meng whitened his woman glance.

The women in the later Qin Dynasty had more or less learned riding and archery since they were young, but not everyone specialized in bowing like Qing Qiang.

So it's not just the young lady who is wheezing in her heart.

But everyone thinks about it again, no matter how bad it is, it won't be worse than Donghuang Sheng.

Everyone looked at Donghuangsheng's appearance, with thin skin and tender flesh, as if she hadn't even seen the sun a few times, and looked at her hands, it didn't look like she had held a weapon.

Thinking about it this way, ninety-nine out of ten people have already decided that Donghuangsheng is the candidate for Huafei.

Dugu Sheng gave an order, and several warriors came up carrying an archery target as tall as half a person.

The archery target of the Hou Qin Dynasty is not an ordinary grass target. It has a diameter of half a meter.

The red target on the bull's-eye was stained with the blood of monsters. Such an animal skin archery target weighed more than a hundred catties. When it was carried up, one could feel the breath of the battlefield.

For those with weak arms, let alone hitting the red heart of the target, even hitting the target is a bit difficult.

"Your Majesty, since there is a competition, there should be a referee to show justice. Why don't I let Ben later be the referee," Qinghou seemed to be in good spirits, and volunteered to be the referee.

"It's better, let the humble minister be the referee. I don't know what the empress thinks?"

I saw a warrior in plain robe walking over.

"Director Song, why are you here?" Emperor Houqin couldn't help showing joy when he saw the visitor.

The nobles, princes and concubines who were present also stood up one after another, bowing to the person who came, with respectful expressions on their faces.

"Master," Dugu Xiu stepped forward with his usual ruthlessness.

Yun Sheng was also very surprised. This Curator Song was the middle-aged flower farmer she had met in the medicine field earlier.

He is still dressed as a flower farmer, unexpectedly, he is the curator of Beidou Budokan.

This Curator Song is not only the curator of the Beidou Martial Arts Academy, but also Duguxiu's mentor. Back then, Duguxiu's combat skills were all learned from the curator Song.

He did not hold any official position in the court, but he could freely enter and leave the palace. He was the most well-deserved number one among post-Qin warriors.

Curator Song's origin is very mysterious, and his cultivation base is also very high.

There are rumors from the outside world that his cultivation has even surpassed the realm of Emperor Wu.

It's just that curator Song is indifferent by nature, but he is upright, and has never liked these red tapes in the court.

Every year Dugu Sheng set up a cuckoo banquet in the palace, and he was also invited, but according to the rules of previous years, he never attended.

So when he suddenly appeared at today's cuckoo banquet, everyone was naturally very surprised.

When Qinghou saw Director Song, her complexion changed slightly.

What is the origin of Curator Song, Emperor Qin and others may not understand, but Empress Qing knows.

Curator Song was sent by Hei Yao, the patriarch of the Qilin clan, to teach Dugu Xiu martial arts.

Although he was sent by Hei Yao, but in terms of seniority, he is still Hei Yao's senior brother, and is rumored to be a member of the Beast Altar of the Eight Desolation Tribe.

When Hei Yao made friends with Empress Qing, he could see that Empress Qing was a very ambitious woman. She was obsessed with power and had long wanted to control the government of Hou Qin.

In order to prevent the Qing Empress from becoming bigger and controlling Duguxiu in the future, Hei Yao dispatched Director Song to help Duguxiu ascend to the throne of the Later Qin Emperor one day earlier, and at the same time prevent the Qing Empress' wings from becoming too large.

Indeed, after Director Song came, the relationship between Qinghou and Duguxiu's mother and child became quite distant.

For this reason, Queen Qing has always been very angry with Curator Song, and wanted to drive him away, but curator Song is very respected by Emperor Qin and Duguxiu, and she can only secretly hate her.

Today's cuckoo banquet, Qinghou wanted to give Donghuangsheng some color. If she served as the referee, she would naturally win the competition and use some tricks, but when curator Song came, she had no choice but to feel sad. step aside.

As soon as Director Song came, the matter of the referee naturally fell on him.

"Everyone, since His Majesty appointed Song as the referee for this competition, Song has the courage to change the rules of archery." Curator Song redefines the rules of archery.

All the officials and family members of civil and military officials, who are under the age of 30 and over the age of 14, need to participate in this archery competition.

The winner is determined by five arrows, and whoever hits the highest number of rings wins.

According to the rules over the years, the competition starts with the lower-ranked ones, who are eligible to participate in the cuckoo banquet, from the third-rank military officer to the princes and concubines, who meet the requirements of this archery, including the prospective princess Yun Sheng. There are three female guests in total. ten people.

Five arrows per person, that is, one hundred and fifty arrows.

Each arrow has been specially treated, and a copper coin is tied to the end of the arrow, and the copper coin is marked with numbers from "one" to "thirty".

But just before the archery competition started, Curator Song spoke again.

"Right now, each female guest has been allocated five arrows marked with different numbers. In this competition, only the final result will be recorded, and the winner will not be determined until the last person shoots the arrow. During the period, each The arrows shot will not be pulled out. Those who shoot later can shoot down the arrows shot by the previous ones. If the arrows are shot down, the results of the previous one will not be counted.” Curator Song’s archery rules are really true It's the first time I've heard of it.

But in this way, it greatly increased the visibility and excitement of the archery competition.

Yun Sheng got the tail arrow marked with "one", and according to the order, she was ranked last.

The wife of a third-rank military officer was the first to come up. She took the arrows from the guards and made five swishing sounds.

I saw five arrows falling in the "seven eight nine rings" one after another in one go.

As expected of a military officer's wife, she is really good at archery.

But even so, the military attache couple looked very nervous.

This time, according to curator Song's competition rules, no one knows what the result will be until the last arrow is shot.

The archery target is very large, and it is more than enough to accommodate two or three hundred arrows, but the space is limited after all. If you do not take the arrows, the chances of hitting the target or being shot down at the end will be greatly increased.

The rest shot fourteen or five people one after another, except for one whose archery skills were not as good, most of their arrows landed on the seventh and eighth rings.

During the period, two more arrows were shot down.

"It seems that women in the later Qin Dynasty are indeed women who do not give in to men. Such archery skills are more than enough to kill the enemy in battle," Dugu Xiuxiu nodded in agreement.

"I hope the people behind will do the same," Qing Hou said, casting a sideways glance at Yun Sheng.
