Turbulent Times Chapter 809: Competition
And this is what Wang Junlin did during the reign of the first emperor. The great achievements Yang Guang wants to do are far greater than those of the first emperors. They are comparable to the achievements of the Qin Emperor and Han Wu, but these things cannot be done by the emperor alone. Yes, he needs a capable minister like Wang Junlin to fulfill his ideal under his instruction.
Thinking of this, because of what Empress Xiao said before, Yang Guang's murderous intentions towards Wang Junlin dissipated, but although he couldn't kill him, he still wanted to prevent this son from murdering the King and Queen of Qi.
Including Yang Guang, everyone looked at Wang Junlin. Wang Junlin got up slowly, first saluted Yang Guang respectfully, and then looked at Ashina Doji with disdain and said, "I don't know what the prince wants How to compare with riding and archery?"
Ashina Duojishi saw that Wang Junlin did not shirk, and he was overjoyed. His cavalry and archery were in the East. Few people in Turkic could rival him. A unique skill that other eagle archers cannot match, that is, he is also very accurate in shooting arrows in the dark, and it is night at this moment.
Ashina Duoji suppressed the ecstasy in his heart, turned around and saluted Yang Guang, and said: "Please move to the competition field, Your Majesty, and I will set the rules of the competition according to the field."
Yang Guang loves face very much. Today is Da Sui's home game again. He is absolutely unwilling that Da Sui will lose this riding and shooting. However, he has inexplicable trust in Wang Junlin's ability. Du Jishi took it to heart, so he relaxed, stroked his beard and smiled, "That's fine."
Goguryeo envoy Yuan Taizuo, who was sitting next to Ashina Duoji, stared at Wang Junlin and Ashina Duoji for a few times, his eyes flickering. He came here on a mission this time. The purpose is to stir up the Great Sui and the Eastern Turks to turn against each other again. The current competition between Wang Junlin and Ashina Duo Jishi gave him an opportunity. In fact, he did a lot of homework before coming here, especially for such a peerless murderer like Wang Junlin. I have inquired in great detail with the popular power ministers. He said something to the Goguryeo boy beside him, who nodded confidently.
Yuan Tae-joo immediately got up and smiled and said, "Your Majesty, Goguryeo, let's join in the fun too! Let's compete with each other." After speaking, he looked provocatively at the prince of Silla, Jin Guofan.
Jin Guofan knew that among the guards and military officers he had brought along, there was no one who was outstanding in riding and shooting, so he was a little embarrassed. Sui cultural etiquette, coming to pay homage to His Majesty the Great Sui Emperor, and today celebrating the Empress’s birthday, how can you have the heart of provocative competition.”
I have to say that Jin Guofan is indeed a bit quick-witted, these few words are just right, at least rounded out the embarrassing situation in front of him, Yang Guang is also very satisfied after hearing it.
Yang Guang nodded and said: "Prince Silla is right, but since Goguryeo also wants to participate, it is natural. I wonder if anyone can choose?"
Yuan Taizuo pointed to the young man next to him, and said, "This is my son Gai Suwen, he is willing to help His Majesty."
Yang Guang looked at Gai Suwen, then at Wang Junlin, and said happily: "For tonight's riding and archery competition, I want to give a lot of money."
He beckoned, and an **** came forward with a vermilion lacquered wooden tray, which was covered with silk and satin, and placed a black jade bowl. Yang Guang lifted the jade bowl and said loudly: "This It is a black jade bowl tributed to the Sui Dynasty by the Western Regions, and it is worth tens of millions. This time, the winner of the arrow competition will get this jade bowl."
Standing behind Wang Junlin all the time, dressed as a follower, like a statue, the light in Nie Xiaoyu's eyes flickered sharply, and her lips moved, but other people couldn't hear what she said, only Wang Junlin could hear it: "This The black jade bowl is a kind of energy stone, and it contains the energy I need, so we must get it."
Wang Junlin was shocked. In the past two years, since Nie Xiaoyu came out of the empty ship with him, he has been troubled by the energy stone that Nie Xiaoyu needs. He secretly sent people to search everywhere, but to no avail. , I didn't expect to meet one today.
The news of the riding, shooting, and gambling competition made the guests excited, and everyone walked out of the hall one after another. Anyone with a discerning eye knows that this kind of riding and archery competition is nominally for fun, but in fact it is an informal competition, a contest between three countries. This delicate relationship is difficult to handle, and everyone can Seeing Ashina Duoji's murderous intentions towards Wang Junlin, he secretly guessed that the next step might not be a simple competition of riding and shooting.
……
……
In the corner of the main seat, Qi Wang Yang Hao kept his face gloomy, looking at Wang Junlin's back with resentment on his face. He was humiliated and teased by Wang Junlin at the gate of the imperial city during the day. He wanted to use the power of his mother to get rid of Wang Junlin. In fact, he succeeded, but he did not expect that Wang Junlin escaped from the ambush arranged by his mother. Unwilling.
While Yang Yan was hiding in the corner drinking, the old **** beside Empress Xiao quickly approached and whispered in his ear: "Your Highness, this old slave has found a peerless killer. He will wait a while." I killed Wang Junlin during Wang Junlin's competition, but His Highness needs to arrange an identity for him and find a way to bring him to the competition."
Yang Hao was overjoyed, but he was a little worried, and asked: "If you don't succeed and you are caught by the guards, don't confess me."
The old **** had expected that Yang Hao would have such worries, and immediately replied: "Don't worry, Your Highness, this person will never be caught by anyone."
"In this case, you bring him here!" Yang Wei thought that the old **** said that this person was a dead man, but he didn't know that the old **** knew the strength and supernatural power of the other party, and no one could keep him even in the palace.
…
…
Wang Junlin walked outside the hall. Outside the hall was a large square covering an area of more than ten mu. In the darkness, hundreds of guards were busy arranging the venue for the competition and preparing special arrows. According to Ashina Duo Jishi's suggestion to Yang Guang just now, the three of them shot at each other in the square in front, using special arrows painted with red paint, which would leave a red dot on the person, and each person had 30 arrows. Arrows, until all the arrows are shot, but there is a time limit for a stick of incense. After the match, the one with the least red dots on his body is the winner, and the one with the most is the loser.
Wang Junlin didn't know what tricks Ashina Duojishi had, but Yang Guang had agreed, so he had no reason to refuse. Fortunately, he has already sent someone to the mansion to get a bow that Nie Xiaoyu just imitated the divine bow. This bow is a miniature version of the divine bow. I don't know how much stronger the strong bow is. The most important thing is that as long as you master the operation skills of this bow, the accuracy is very high, and it can be called a hundred hits. In addition, he also sent someone to bring the blood-maned horse. With the strength of the blood-maned horse, he is still very confident in this riding and shooting. As for Ashina Duoji, he may take the opportunity to shoot him by some means. , he will naturally take precautions.
