Liu Heguang walked out slowly from the arena and came to Xie Tongyan's side. In line with his words, he sneered contemptuously, "Give him the bow and arrow, what's the use? A good arrow wasted for nothing."
Liu Heguang saw that Rong Ting's fingers circled the bowed fingers, the phalanges were tense and white, and there was a sense of forbearable strength.
He felt inexplicably timid. But looking at the frail figure of the boy in white sitting in the wheelchair, his timidity immediately dissipated.
What are you afraid of? Muddy trash.
Liu Heguang patted Xie Tongyan on the shoulder, "Let's go, don't waste time on this cripple, the third prince and the seventeenth prince are shooting arrows over there, why don't you go and see them."
Xie Tongyan seemed unintentional, but in fact he had intentions, and said lightly, "Prince Seventeen's arrow skills are even better than his third and ninth brothers."
No one knew that Xie Shoufu and Liu Gelao, the two important officials in the court, had a very close personal relationship with Xu Guozhang.
The reputations of these three families are relatively clean and upright, they do not form cliques and do not engage in private interests, which is very much in line with Emperor Zhaowu's wishes.
There is no contact on the surface, but secretly they have colluded together and twisted into the same force, wanting to make the seventeenth prince the last heir and win the imperial power.
As they sang together, Liu Heguang also spoke kind words for the Seventeenth Prince.
"If someone hadn't been there first, maybe the Seventeenth Prince would be Mr. Yan's only disciple this year."
He turned his head to look at Rong Ting, his eyes were full of sarcasm.
The so-called "someone" naturally refers to Rong Ting.
This look made him stop in his tracks.
A few dozen paces away, Rong Ting didn't know when to put up the arrow and draw the bow.
The wind blew back his high black hair, Yan Li's face was indifferent, and her movements seemed careless.
But corresponding to the young man's calm and breezy expression, was the longbow that was easily drawn by him.
The arrow is on the string, no kidding.
Liu Heguang immediately grabbed Xie Tongyan, and at this moment there was a "whoosh".
An arrow pierced through the clouds and disappeared.
Liu Heguang heaved a sigh of relief, and gave a "chi" laugh, "I thought he was so capable, tsk, what kind of skill is shooting arrows in the air, and you are afraid of losing face?"
In the distance, Rong Ting's fingers tapped lightly on the wheelchair.
one time.
Twice.
stop.
There was a mournful cry in the sky.
A blood goose fell from the sky and threw Liu Heguang a face.
Liu Heguang was caught off guard by the force falling from the sky, and fell to the ground on his back.
He smelled the stench of the bird feathers on the goose's body, coughed a few times but ate the goose feathers, and spat out "Bah, bah, bah", lifted the goose, and saw the arrow that was piercing the goose's neck.
An arrow seals the throat, leaving no way out.
Liu Heguang was so frightened that his whole body felt cold.
Before Xie Tongyan could react, there was another "whoosh", his body swayed back, and he also fell to the ground, his head was much heavier.
A long arrow pierced through his bun, and large strands of hair were chopped off by the sharp arrow and fell to the ground.
Xie Tongyan's expression was dazed, with an arrow on his head, like wearing a wooden hairpin magnified dozens of times, it was extremely funny.
There was a sudden chill on his neck.
Rong Ting was condescending, staring at Liu Xie and the two of them.
Holding arrows in their hands, the tip of the arrow scratched their necks. It can make their skin feel cool, but not to the extent of scratching the wound.
You can cut your throat by just a few millimeters.
Xie Tongyan didn't dare to move, he looked up.
The sun was shining brightly, under the dazzling white light, Rong Ting's face could not be seen clearly at all.
Dressed in white clothes, his figure was infected by light, clean and holy.
But his eyes were cold and cruel.
The speed at which the tip of the long arrow slid across was slow and fast, stopping at the tip of Xie Tongyan's Adam's apple and spinning around.
Xie Tongyan trembled his lips, choked his neck and dared not move, and said, "There are still people watching, you know the rules!"
Rong Ting hooked his thin lips.
Like heard some joke.
Does he look so much like a rule-abiding guy
Rong Ting suddenly let go of his hand, and threw all the arrows and the bow into the arms of Xie Liu.
Because he heard footsteps behind him.
He had misidentified once, and he would never misidentify the footsteps again.
…
The heavy curved bow seemed to be thrown on the ground at random, but by coincidence, it hit Liu Heguang's shoulders directly.
Liu Heguang was secretly pleased that he had restrained Rong Ting, and was taking this opportunity to get up, but was knocked down by the sudden impact.
Before going to the hunting ground, he bumped into Jiang Rao's shoulder, and there was a stinging pain like a bone crack.
…
Jiang Rao hurried back, looking at the two trembling on the ground.
He looked up at Rong Ting again.
His eyes were full of puzzlement.
This scene is really strange.
Why are Liu Xie and Liu Xie, who were arrogant just now, are... miserable.
All the hostility in Rong Ting's eyes dissipated.
His eyes are like stars and gentle like the moon, but he blocks her view of looking back, "They asked me to shoot arrows to show them, but I was frightened by me. I came to return the arrow and bow to them, and saw them limp on the ground. I want to lift them up."
"With arrows?"
"I have limited mobility and can't hold their hands."
Jiang Rao listened to his words, but did not outline the corresponding scene in his mind at all.
But for someone like Rong Ting who doesn't like to have physical contact with others, she has no doubts.
He nodded curtly.
What nonsense! Liu Heguang twisted his body uneasily.
It is said to help people, but it is like killing people, and it is said to return the bow, but it is actually smashing people.
Good for you.
Hearing his movements, Rong Ting glanced sideways at him, his gaze turned cold.
If it weren't for her presence, he would have only scruples.
The tip of the arrow must be splashed with human blood to fill his displeasure.
He turned around and pulled Jiang Rao's wrist, "Don't help them, they are bloody and dirty."
Jiang Rao never thought of helping them.
They whipped her on the bench, nearly made her fall, and called her little dumb, little country bumpkin.
She is not like Rong Ting who can help people by repaying good for bad, their miserable appearance will only make her feel that evil will be rewarded with evil.
In my heart, I even wanted to move a bench and sit down where I was, and appreciate their miserable appearance for a while.
but…
She is extremely crisis-conscious.
Pushing Rong Ting's wheelchair, trying to take him away from these two bad things.
Now that his leg injury has not healed, he can only show his strength in archery and let these two villains suffer.
But, what if these two bad guys got up and wanted to hit someone later...
He definitely can't beat it.
As for her, let alone.
Even if they add up, one disabled and one weak, who can beat them
Jiang Rao weighed the situation and slipped away.
Liu Heguang pressed his shoulder, it hurt so much that he couldn't get up.
Xie Tongyan stood up first and looked at their backs.
Rong Ting, the guy who turned black and white, was so angry that he panicked, fell on the ground, gasping for breath, his face turned blue and white.
This is crippled.
In the academy, he has always looked gloomy and timid, never fighting back.
Why are you so crazy all of a sudden
Today, there are people from Jinling and noble daughters of aristocratic families in the spectator seats. He was humiliated by a cripple in front of them, and he lost all face!
Xie Tongyan had never been humiliated like this before, looking at his servant, trembling with anger, he pointed at Rong Ting, "Hit! Hurry up and hit me!"

But no one dared to move.
There was a commotion from the stands.
Accompanied by dozens of officials and guards, Emperor Zhaowu appeared on the hunting ground.
…
Last night, according to the monthly practice, Emperor Zhaowu stayed in the Palace of Empress Jiahe.
Empress Jiahe specially burned the incense that Emperor Zhaowu liked.
In the three-legged tripod, the scent of sweet and pine incense was lingering like mist. Empress Jiahe gently kneaded Emperor Zhaowu's shoulders, coaxing Emperor Zhaowu into a happy mood, and only then did he mention the matter of the two subjects of shooting and hunting in Bailu Academy.
She wanted to mention a few words first, and when the news of Rong Ting's embarrassment came later, it was only natural that she could cry to Emperor Zhaowu.
If her little Shiqi behaved well, she would be able to let out a sigh of relief.
It just made up for the grievance she suffered from being humiliated by Concubine Yun Gui a few days ago.
Unexpectedly, Emperor Zhaowu immediately made a decision to go out of the palace to watch the hunting ground for two hours.
The second day coincided with the official rest.
There were not many government affairs, and Emperor Zhaowu had always been fond of archery, so he came to the hunting ground early.
…
When he came, all the students, officials, and common people on the shooting ground knelt down and bowed down.
Emperor Zhaowu ordered them to live without courtesy.
He sat down in the middle of the high platform.
He saw the wild goose that was shot down sharply, his eyes lighted up slightly, and he asked, "Who shot down this goose?"
Li Ren sent someone to bring Xie Tongyan and Liu Heguang over.
Although the two were reluctant, they did not dare to deceive the monarch, "It is His Highness Ninth Prince."
Emperor Zhaowu's eyes were slightly joyful, the corners of his eyes were slightly curved, and he nodded.
He thought that even though Rong Ting's leg injury could heal, it took more than a year to heal the injury, and his martial art and archery would have to regress.
Looking at the wild goose that was shot through the neck, it was beyond expectations.
Rong Ting was also found at this time.
Xie Tongyan gave him a hateful look.
When Rong Ting first entered Bailu Academy, his father reminded him.
The seventeenth prince is the most likely to become the new emperor in the future, the one they want to win over.
Even though the Ninth Prince has disabled legs, he is still a thorn in Xu Guozhang's heart.
Xie Tongyan felt extremely uncomfortable.
Originally, he wanted to follow his father's instructions and make Rong Ting make jokes, but he didn't want to help him show off.
Thinking about his broken hair, Xie Tongyan became even more unbearable.
Your skin and hair is from your parents.
Cutting off a person's hair is even equivalent to beheading that person.
This is a naked humiliation to him.
But just now the feeling of the arrow point sliding coldly on his Adam's apple was still there, Xie Tongyan was inexplicably afraid of Rong Ting.
Even though he was dressed in white, he felt like a cold night.
Liu Heguang glanced at Xie Tongyan's face. Although his hair hadn't been cut off, but now he smelled like dead geese, and his clothes were stained with blood, which was unsightly. He also felt humiliated in his heart. Seeing Xie Tongyan angry, he became even more angry Dissatisfied, he moved his lower lip.
Seeing that he had something to say, Emperor Zhaowu asked, "Do you have something to say?"
Liu Heguang said: "The grass people are envious of His Highness Ninth Prince's luck. When the grass people shoot a wild goose, they can shoot right through its neck only once in ten times. But His Highness Ninth Prince is so lucky today. It's really impressive. Envious."
By stealing the beam and changing the post, Rong Ting's ability to shoot the wild goose is called luck.
Xie Tongyan secretly pinched Liu Heguang.
In front of the emperor, questioning his prince's ability, why is he so courageous
After hearing this, Emperor Zhaowu felt a little uncomfortable and frowned.
It's just that he seldom gets angry outside, but instead looks at Liu Heguang.
Liu Heguang is a scholar of the Dongge University, the grandson of Liu Gao, who has a reputation as a dude in Jinling, and he has heard of it a little in the palace.
Liu Gao is tactful and alert in his dealings with others, and his skills are extraordinary.
Emperor Zhaowu has been a little jealous of this power minister recently, and has been thinking of finding an opportunity to kill his prestige so that he will not forget his master.
The same is true of Xie Shoufu.
He thought about it for a while, today's matter happened to be an opportunity.
If Rong Ting can beat Liu Heguang and Xie Tongyan.
It can give Liuge Lao and Xie Shoufu a wake-up call.
So that they can see that no matter how powerful they are, their descendants are no match for his prince, and the courtiers can only listen to his words.
I just don't know if his ninth son can win the last time. If his ninth son can't compare to the well-known dandy in Jinling...
Emperor Zhaowu looked at Rong Ting sharply for a moment, "There is only one arrow, it may indeed be luck. Li Ren, go and prepare arrows and targets for His Highness Ninth Prince."
He said to Rong Ting: "I'll give you ten arrows to test your current level."
One arrow can be said to be caused by luck, but ten arrows can always convince people.
After finishing speaking, he looked at Liu Heguang and Xie Tongyan, "You three, go together, each with ten arrows, and compare with the Ninth Prince."
"At that time, the loser will have no faults, and the winner will be rewarded."
Liu Heguang's complexion changed slightly.
With his half-baked archery skills, he usually shoots geese, and if he can hit a wild goose with one out of ten arrows, he is lucky. Archery is irritating and boring to him.
The outrageous words just now were just for the sake of myself and Xie Tongyan, how can I really compare myself with others
He was a little depressed, but when he thought that Xie Tongyan, who was skilled in archery, might not be at a disadvantage, his depression suddenly disappeared.
When walking to the shooting ground, Liu Heguang bumped into Xie Tongyan's shoulder, "I was hit in the arm just now, and I can't use my strength. You are good at archery. After a while, it's up to you."
Xie Tongyan was quite conceited about his archery skills, and he was very confident. He smiled lightly, as if he had agreed to Liu Heguang's words.
