Liu Tuo's figure is naturally much weaker than Hu Dutong's, but the speed and momentum of the arrows he shoots are faster and sharper than Hu Dutong's.
Liu Tuo had obviously judged for a long time, the law of the raft's shaking has been mastered, Hu Dutong just didn't master the law well, so the sharp arrow shot missed the target, Liu Tuo estimated first, and then shot the arrow, everyone still felt it at first A little to the right, but when the arrow peak approached, the sharp arrow and the lantern were almost in a line, everyone exclaimed, and heard a faint "stab", and the sharp arrow had already shot into the lantern.
Xue Poye nodded slightly. Although Liu Tuo is not a good person, his wisdom and skills are still good.
I saw that sharp arrow inserted into the left side of the lantern, and the arrow pierced through the lantern. The candle in the lantern flickered and was about to go out, but finally stabilized, still shining red.
Anyone with a little brain knows that although Liu Tuo thought twice before shooting, his judgment was still a bit off and he didn't shoot the right candle.
However, dozens of people tried their arrows, not to mention extinguishing the candle flame, and none of them even scratched the lamp skin. Liu Tuo was not only able to penetrate the lantern, but even extinguished the candle flame, which is extremely impressive. Be amazed.
Liu Tuo frowned when he saw that the candle was only shaking but not extinguished, and his smiling face darkened again.
Hu Dutong has already stepped forward and praised: "Master Liu, your archery skills are better than Lao Hu's, and Lao Hu admires you very much."
Hu Dutong came from the heart, but Liu Tuo said that he was sarcastic on purpose, a slight smile appeared on his face, but there was a trace of murderous intent in those beautiful eyes, and he said lightly: "You're making a fool of yourself!"
Seeing that Liu Tuo also failed to extinguish the candle, the second young master asked again: "Who else is shooting?"
Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, among them Hu Dutong and Liu Tuo were the most skilled in archery, both of them missed the chance, it seems that no one can get that cold blade that cuts iron like mud.
Liu Tuo shook his head unwillingly, and suddenly caught a glimpse of Xue Poye over there, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth, and said loudly: "Master Xue, oh, it should be Mr. Chrysanthemum. I heard that you are now the hero of Hangzhou City. Merry, I think martial arts are also very good, why don't you show your hand and shoot out the candles in the lanterns, so that everyone will have no regrets, but I don't know if Mr. Chrysanthemum will reward you?" He called "Mr. Chrysanthemum" and brought Great disdain.
Liu Tuo saw that Xue Poye was making a big splash in the essay test, not only defeating the Confucians, but also snatching away the treasure Ye Zhan Buddha, and he always had a lump in his heart. This fight, immediately decided that Xue Poye was nothing but It's just that he has some talent in literary talent, he must not be good at bow bending and archery, if Xue Poye didn't dare to try shooting or his bow skills are very poor, he should be ridiculed and get back to his previous position.
Xue Poye naturally knew what he was thinking, smiled slightly, and said modestly: "Don't dare, there are so many generals here, Xue doesn't dare to make a fool of himself. What's more, this candle can't even be shot with such skill as Mr. Liu." Naturally, Xue Mou couldn’t do it.” He left the conversation first, claiming that Liu Tuo only shot through the lantern and didn’t extinguish the candle. Huatou.
Liu Tuo's face darkened, but he was extremely expressive, and the gloom disappeared in a flash, and he still smiled and said: "Mr. Chrysanthemum is self-effacing, and he is naturally not an ordinary person who can be called a great hero in Hangzhou City. Mr. Chrysanthemum will not You want to hide it, and you don't want to open everyone's eyes, right?"
"*****!" Xue Poye yelled in his heart, Liu Tuo had a chrysanthemum boy on his left and a chrysanthemum boy on his right, it was really ambiguous and unpleasant to hear.
Tan Ziqing also said that Xue Poye was not good at archery, so he came out to smooth things over and said, "Poye, you have a brilliant literary talent, you are very remarkable, there are not many people who practice this kind of archery in my great Chu, so it is understandable that you are not good at archery."
Everyone naturally heard the protective meaning in his words, and even heard the close relationship between the two, and they all understood in their hearts: "It turns out that the backstage of shopkeeper Xue is Mr. Yushi, no wonder he can participate in this banquet."
As soon as He Ruhui heard Tan Ziqing's words, he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty Yushi's words are very true. Everyone has already seen the ability of Mr. Juhua. He can be regarded as a literary talent of my Dachu's generation. His archery skills are not comparable."
Xue Poye chuckled, and said leisurely: "Since Mr. Liu wants to see my bow skills, Xue doesn't dare to belittle himself. If he misses, everyone should not be laughed at." After finishing speaking, he walked forward slowly and took the hundred Shi's longbow and feathered arrows.
Not only Tan Ziqing, but everyone present was a little surprised. Unexpectedly, Xue Poye won the first prize with literary talents, and this time he was going to compete with arrows. Could it be that this young man is really both civil and military
Liu Tuo's pupils dilated. When he saw Xue Poye holding the arrow, the technique was very familiar, and he was calm and composed. Although he couldn't see that he was full of confidence, he couldn't see the nervousness or uneasiness either. To Xue Poye, it seemed normal and nothing serious.
Xue Poye walked behind the red line, tried to take a look, then suddenly lowered his hand and shook his head.
Only then did Liu Tuo heave a sigh of relief, thinking that Xue Poye was omnipotent, but it turned out that he was just pretending, and was about to say something taunting, when Xue Poye suddenly raised his hand, and without thinking, he drew his bow and shot an arrow, The arrow pierced the air and shot at the lantern.
Strange to say, although the sharp arrow was shot, it missed the lantern and dropped a lot.
Although it was only a blink of an eye, some people already felt that Xue Poye's archery skills were so poor that he couldn't even aim the lantern, let alone shoot out the candle.
Just as Liu Tuo showed gloating looks, he heard a "da", and the sharp arrow shot straight into the wooden stick holding the lantern.
Everyone screamed, but most of them screamed with regret.
Xue Poye was able to hit the wooden stick with great accuracy and strength, but he couldn't hit the candle in the lantern, and couldn't extinguish the candle, which is really a pity.
Tan Ziqing was also shocked, with surprise in his eyes.
Just when everyone thought that Xue Poye's sharp arrow just hit the wooden stick, they saw that the wooden stick was slowly disconnected from it, with a "click", the upper part of the wooden stick fell into the water with the lantern.
Xue Poye wiped the sweat from his forehead under the horrified eyes of the crowd, Grandma's, thanks to her accurate judgment, she shot the wooden stick, otherwise she would have lost her face today.
Although this shot was based on the superb archery skills taught by Urachi, but the raft is floating, and it is not easy to judge the law of its floating and hit it with one blow. The candle was not extinguished.
First there was a deathly silence, and after a long time, Tan Ziqing was the first to applaud: "Excellent shooting skills, good, good, good!"
There was thunderous applause and exclamation all around.
Xue Poye put down his long bow, let out a long sigh of relief, walked up to the second young master, and said with a smile: "Second young master, you only said that it is enough to extinguish the candle with an arrow, but you never said that you must shoot the candle. Now that the lantern enters the water, The candle is extinguished, do you know if it is in accordance with the rules?"
The second young master showed admiration on his face, nodded repeatedly and said: "Rules, rules, as long as the candles are extinguished, it's rules!" He raised his thumb and praised endlessly.
Han Mozhuang sat on the chair, unbelievable, he never imagined that his disciple turned out to be a good son with both civil and military skills, and he felt a little embarrassed when he thought that he still lectured on scriptures and Analects to him every day.
Han Mozhuang naturally wouldn't know that although Xue Poye's excellent works are repeated, they are plagiarized from memory. This archery was also practiced hard by the grassland lords. In wrestling, Xue Poye might not be able to overwhelm everyone, but he just competed with arrows, which was also due to his luck.
Although it seems that Xue Poye has both civil and military skills, but Xue Poye really doesn't understand the "Four Books" and "Five Classics". Even if he tells the truth at this time, I am afraid that others will not believe it. Five Classics.
When Xue Poye turned his head for a while, he saw someone clasping his fists and saluting. He seemed very close, and he was very pleased.
Hu Dutong directly came over and patted Xue Poye on the shoulder, laughed and said, "Mr. Chrysanthemum, you are not only good at archery, but also smart in mind. This wooden stick is much thicker than a candle. Naturally, it is better to shoot the wooden stick than hit it." Candles are easier, thank you for thinking of them. I thought literati were weak people. Look at the two archery literati before. They couldn’t shoot twenty steps away. You, a talented young man, have such archery skills. , Lao Hu is convinced, let's have a few drinks alone when we have time, and Lao Hu will ask for advice on archery." He was really straightforward, and he didn't care about the faces of the two archery testers.
Although Xue Poye is a smart and cunning person, he really likes people who are upright and bold. For example, Wu Lachi is a typical example. Hu Dutong is very straightforward, so Xue Poye naturally has a good impression of him. Listening to him like this Said, smiled and said: "Hu Du is kind, Xue Mou will accompany him another day."
He looked up at Tan Ziqing, and saw that he was also staring at him with a meaningful expression, and nodded with a smile.
At present, the second young master graciously held the brocade box containing the cold blade and gave it to Xue Poye. Xue Poye naturally accepted it calmly. The treasure of the cold blade is exactly what he needs. An excellent defense.
Xue Poye won the first place in both civil and military battles, and only won the two treasures of Yezhan Buddha and Cold Blade. Naturally, he was envious of others, and naturally there was great admiration in his jealousy.
Everyone returned to their seats in a sigh. Continuing to drink and chat and laugh, the topic naturally revolved around the topic of Xue Poye being both civil and military.
