In fact, Liu Xuan had already arrived at the Jinshui River, and had been ordering people to spy on the situation here. When he learned that Liang Feng appeared in Baiyi, he guessed that this son had a lot of plans. This body is more unconventional than at the time of the dharma meeting, and it is peerless.
Fortunately, he prepared in advance. Sun Zhi, the magistrate of Xinxing County, was talented and sparse, jealous of the virtuous, but he was a high-ranking man in Taiyuan. Liu Xuan said a lot of gossip about Liang Zixi in front of him. Seeing Liang Feng's demeanor now, Sun Zhi may be even more angry and provocative. With others embarrassed, even if Liang Feng was able to escape, he would still be speechless.
Unexpectedly, after a meal, Sun Zhi was kicked out of the general's tent. Liu Xuan immediately noticed that he might have underestimated Liang Feng. Failure to master the teachings of Confucius and Mencius does not mean that he is not smart enough. Just relying on the qushuiliu and the answer at the banquet is enough to make Liang Feng famous. If this continues, the goal will not be achieved, but will make Liang Zixi famous. How can he ignore it
Therefore, Liu Xuan brought people to Sima Teng's tent in person. No one knows better than Liu Xuan that Sima Teng is afraid of the five Huns. As a descendant of the emperor, Sima Teng maintained his noble status and regarded the huhus in Bingzhou as his servants. However, the Jie people and Qiang people can trade cattle and horses, but the Huns cannot. The five tribes of the Xiongnu lived in Bingzhou and had close relations with many high gates in Taiyuan. In addition to the ten years of turmoil in the country, the commander of the five tribes originally held by the Han was also changed to the Xiongnu. Under such circumstances, Sima Teng couldn't drive the five divisions at all, so how could he not let his heart be filled with anxiety.
In the face of these king's children who can't shout and drink and occupy a large area of Bingzhou, Sima Teng never adds color, let alone corporal. When Shang Si came to visit at a banquet, and pointed out the art of archery, it would only make him more unhappy.
That's exactly what he wants!
Seeing that the soft bow turned into a hard bow, Liu Xuan smiled and said, "Although the bow is good, the target is clumsy, and it may be difficult to decide the outcome. Why don't you follow the example of Chu Zhiyang Yuji and change it to shooting willows?"
According to legend, Yang Youji, the archer of Chu State, and Pan Hu, the warrior, competed in archery. Yang Youji said that the target 50 paces away was too simple, and instead marked the target in red on the willow leaf 100 paces away. As a result, Yang Yuji passed through Yang with a hundred steps, and everyone was called good at archery.
She Liu Yidian is well known, but Liu Xuan's words made Sima Teng even more angry. The target was set by him, isn't he insinuating that he is Pan Hu
"Then according to the commander's words, shoot the willow." Sima Teng said coldly.
With the order, the servant immediately took action. In the end, a willow tree with a height of 30 feet was selected, and six leaves on the tree were painted red. A hundred paces away, his eyes were almost blurry, and he was afraid that he couldn't even see where Liu Ye was.
This time Liu Xuancai nodded with satisfaction: "Dong Ying Gong first please."
Sima Teng was not polite to him either, and ordered the captain who was brought by Nie Xuan to shoot the willow. The captain was obviously a good player, so he walked to the tree in a calm mood, bent his bow and shot an arrow, only to hear three sharp swishes, and three red leaves fell to the ground.
"Okay!" Sima Teng was overjoyed and praised loudly.
Liu Xuan chuckled: "Dong Ying Gong's subordinates are really talented. Awei, you have to be careful."
A tall and thin man behind him nodded slightly, walked to the tree, and stretched his bow at will. Three arrows rang, and the three leaves fell.
"Acceptance." Liu Xuan said humbly.
Sima Teng didn't look good on his face. The opponent's three arrows did not shoot at the same time, but the three leaves landed at the same time, obviously the second came first, and the archery was extremely high. This time, it was clear that he was the loser. If he continued to shoot the willows, he was afraid that he would lose the battle if he was not careful.
As if aware of Sima Teng's hesitation, Liu Xuan said again: "It seems that the willow leaves are still difficult to decide, so why not shoot the willow branches instead. Peel off a piece of the bark from the branches, how about the middle and white winner?"
Branches have a smaller target. However, at this time, Sima Teng was already unable to ride a tiger, so he had to say, "Is there still this method of shooting willows? It's also new. Let's take a look."
The servant quickly peeled off a willow branch, but Sima Teng came first. But this time, the good archery captain was not as calm as before. Standing in the same place and watching for a long time, he raised his bow and shot. The first arrow rubbed the branches and flew out, bringing down willow leaves on the ground. The second arrow broke another wicker stick. Sweat was already on the captain's head, and the third arrow was aimed for a long time before he let go of the bowstring. With a snap, the target willow twig fell, but it was half an inch away from the white spot.
Sima Teng's face darkened when he saw the willow branch he had picked up, but this person was already the most skilled archer under his account, and there was no one else who could take his place.
However, Liu Xuan ignored Sima Teng's expression and said with a smile, "Awei, it seems that this time is even more difficult."
The Xiongnu man did not say a word, walked to the willow tree, shot an arrow, and the willow twig snapped in response, leaving the white part in the middle. This time, it is the victory and defeat.
Unexpectedly, this hustler dared to be so arrogant, Sima Teng could hardly hold back his anger. However, the other party is old, and it is the last festival, if you get angry, wouldn't it appear that you have a narrow capacity and can't tolerate others? After forbearance and forbearance, he pulled out a stiff smile: "The commander of the commander is really good at shooting."
"Haha!" Liu Xuan laughed loudly, "A certain victory is not martial. I heard that there are some good shooters in Liang Lang's house, why don't you try this third game if Dong Ying Gong recruits them?"
Now in three rounds, one draw and one loss, it seems impossible to win. Suddenly hearing Liu Xuan say this, Sima Teng couldn't help turning his head to look at Liang Feng: "Zixi, are there really good shooters in your house?"
Unexpectedly, he was suddenly pushed to the front of the stage, and Liang Feng raised his eyebrows and said calmly, "There is indeed one person who is good at archery."
"Oh, it's so good! Hurry up and recruit it!" Sima Teng couldn't help but be overjoyed. Liu Xuan's competition this time may have forced him to a dead end. Anyway, the captain has no chance of winning, so it is better to choose a Jie slave to come to the competition. If you win, you can save your own face, but if you lose, it's just a competition between Jie Hu and it's harmless. Wouldn't it be the best of both worlds
Looking at the leisurely white-bearded old man beside him, Liang Feng bowed his hands and ordered the servant to go down and call someone. Wang Wen was a little worried, and whispered in a low voice: "The soldiers under Captain Liu's archery are excellent. If the people in your house are also defeated, Duke Dongying is afraid that he will be angry..."
Liang Feng could naturally think of this. Liu Xuan's move was obviously aimed at himself. But Sima Teng couldn't hold his face anymore. If he refused flatly, he would be jealous of him. Liang Feng was not worried about the bow and arrow competition, but what Liu Xuan wanted to do made him very curious. Instead of dodging now, it's better to see tricks and dismantle tricks.
"It's just a little more art, it should be fine." Liang Feng replied with a slight smile.
※
"What? The lord ordered me to go in and compare arrows with others?" Yi Yan raised his eyebrows when he heard the messenger servant say so.
"This is the order of Duke Dongying himself." The servant quickly corrected.
Yi Yanli ignored him. This visit to Jinyang made him more anxious than the last time. Because it was a spring outing banquet, a servant like him could not enter the tent at all, and could only stay beside Wang Wen's bicycle frame. Will the lord be tired, will Sima Teng make things difficult for him, or will he encounter other things that he cannot deal with? Over and over again, these kinds of thoughts made him restless for a moment. Now that someone suddenly came and said that the lord ordered him to compete with others in archery, how could Yiyan not be shocked.
However, after being shocked, he immediately said: "Lead the way!"
Frightened by this Jiehu's vicious look, the servant didn't dare to neglect, and hurriedly walked to the tent with Yiyan.
When Yi Yan strode into the tent, many people were taken aback. Sima Teng pointed at him and asked, "Is this Jie slave?"
Can't blame everyone for being surprised. This Jie person has a face carved like a knife, his eyes are extremely deep, and he even has a pair of blue eyes. Standing beside the graceful Liang Feng, the more beautiful the more beautiful, the more ugly the ugly.
Liang Feng replied calmly, "This son's name is Yiyan, and it is a part of my mansion."
"It's still Zixi who has a big heart." Sima Teng sighed, "But this son seems to be brave and strong, so let him shoot art."
Standing in the tent, Yi Yan clenched his fists slightly. Of course, he could feel the eyes of these nobles, whether they were contempt, or curiosity, as well as fear and disgust, all kinds, but no one saw him as a living person. Following the lord for too long, he is about to forget how these people treat the Capricorns.
"Yi Yan."
There was a soft call in his ear, Yiyan turned his head, and saw the Lord in white looking at him with a smile: "This competition is about shooting willows, and it is about shooting white branches that have been stripped of willow skin, you can shoot ?"
Those black eyes were as sharp and shining as before, without any difference in color. She Liu is an allusion that the lord told him personally, Yi Yan only felt that the anger that had surged in his heart slowly subsided, and nodded lightly: "I can."
"Liu Duwei's generals are also superb in archery, and can shoot white with one arrow. How do you win?" Liang Feng continued.
After a moment of silence, Yi Yan said, "My subordinates are willing to compete with horses and shooters!"
Hearing this, the crowd roared. Walking and shooting are no match for others, riding and shooting are the housekeeping skills of the Huns, this Jiehuer is too arrogant!
Unexpectedly, Liang Feng nodded slightly, turned to Sima Teng and said, "Since Liu Duwei's commander has excellent archery skills, it would be meaningless to shoot again. It would be better for the two of them to ride fast horses together and compete for the first prize, which can better show the level of archery skills. ."
Sima Teng never imagined that Liang Feng would dare to mention horse archery, but he is not his subordinate anyway, and horse archery is indeed better than foot archery. After thinking about it, he nodded: "That's true.
Liu Xuan gave Liang Feng a meaningful look: "Why not?"
With the approval of the two, the competition immediately changed its appearance. Two horses were placed on either side of the willow tree, one mile away from the center. Yi Yan and Liu Wei held arrow feathers of different colors. As long as an order was given, the two of them galloped toward the willow tree from both sides to see who could shoot down the willow tree with arrows first.
Not to mention Sima Teng, even the other scholars were excited. In the past, shooting willows was hard to see, let alone riding for a bid
Countless eyes were cast on the two of them, but Yiyan didn't have the slightest anxiety this time, just reached out and touched the neck of the horse, then turned to look at the lord standing outside the arena. The man seemed to be unaffected by others, still looking at himself with a smile on his face, as if he knew that he would definitely be able to regain the victory.
Taking a deep breath, Yi Yan took off the strong bow on his back, pulled the string, and took a feather arrow and put it on it. There was only a hum, the horn sounded, and the two horses threw their hooves to the center at the same time.
At such a close distance, not to mention archery, the horses will bump into each other if they are not careful. However, neither of the two knights cared about this, and drew their bows at the same time. For some reason, the Hun man's horse seemed to be a little faster. Relying on his extraordinary physical strength, without hesitation, he took the lead in shooting the arrow on the bow.
about to hit! Liu Wei was so confident in his archery skills that he wanted to take the lead in shooting the arrow in his hand. As long as he shoots first, no matter how high the opponent's archery is, it is useless. However, this full of confidence was shattered in the next instant. A feather arrow flew from the side, but it was not aimed at the wicker, but the long feather of the arrow in front. With a click, the two arrows collided and fell at the same time.
Worse! Liu Wei took the arrow in a hurry and wanted to shoot again. However, the speed of the galloping horse was so fast that it passed the best position in a blink of an eye. At the same time, another feathered arrow had already come off the string and hit the willow branch.
"Ah!" Somebody in the crowd exclaimed, and the target wicker fell from the branch.
"Wonderful!" Sima Teng couldn't help shouting! In a flash, two arrows can be shot, and one arrow shoots the opponent's nock tail, and the other arrow shoots at the wicker. The speed is fast and the courage is great, which is simply amazing!
The servant hurriedly retrieved the willow branch and presented it. The arrow really hit Liu Bai, Sima Teng was even more excited, and excitedly said to Liang Feng: "This Jienu is really brave and strong! I wonder if Zixi is willing to give up his love?"
After completing the test, Yiyan turned over and dismounted, and was walking towards this side. Hearing Sima Teng's words from a distance, his eyes widened suddenly, wishing he would hold the bow in his hand and give the person in the main seat the same way!
However, Liang Feng didn't even frown: "If there is a good dog to give his life to the savior, after the owner is rescued, can he give it to others?"
Sima Teng was stunned for a moment: "Of course not."
"That's the case with dogs, let alone people." Liang Feng said lightly.
I didn't expect the other party to reject it so plainly, but compared with the Savior's loyal dog, Sima Teng couldn't say anything else.
There was a smile on his face, and Yi Yan's tensed and angry heart fluttered back to its original place. The lord really won't throw him away, and the only one who can treat him like a human is the lord!
On the other side, Liu Wei walked up to Liu Xuan and said ashamedly: "The prime minister, this subordinate is incompetent."
"It doesn't matter." Liu Xuan smiled, turned to Liang Feng and said, "As expected of the strong soldiers in Zixi's house. If there is such a team, I am afraid that my generals will be inferior."
