Turbulent Times Chapter 810: Reminder from Yuwen Chengdu
Although Yang Guang ordered people to light some torches, the visibility is still limited, and it is still in the category of night arrows. It is archery in high-speed sports, which requires the archer not only to have superb archery skills, keen eyes, but also superb horse control skills.
"Brother!" It took some time to set up the arena. Wang Junlin walked in front of Yuwen Chengdu. Yuwen Chengdu was tall and straight, with a serious face. He has now been promoted to General Youwei, and he has won the trust of Yang Guang and is one of Yang Guang's most trusted people.
Only when he saw Wang Junlin, a junior brother, Yu Wencheng had a knowing smile on his face, nodded, and said: "Junior brother, I think that Turkic prince has malicious intentions, you have to be careful."
"Thank you, brother!" Niu Zhiyuan said with a smile.
"There is also that Goguryeo man, you have to be careful of him, he is also a real master." Yu Wencheng is a person who can take the blow of the Spring and Autumn Messenger head-on, no matter in terms of strength or vision, he is by no means comparable to ordinary masters.
Wang Junlin followed Yu Wencheng's eyes and looked dozens of steps away. The young Goguryeo boy standing aside was checking his bow and arrows and his war horse. He was wearing a black warrior robe and his eyes were indifferent. Alone, people feel that he is a piece of ice, a cold stone statue. This doesn't look like the expression that a teenager should have. It's hard to imagine what this child has experienced.
"What's his name?"
"He is the son of Yuan Tae-jo, named Yuan Gai Su Wen, everyone just calls him Gai Su Wen, the Yuan family he belongs to is the second largest family in Goguryeo, second only to the royal family Gao family, this man He is only seventeen years old, but he can draw a hard bow with two stones and five stones. His father just boasted to His Majesty that he can beat lions and tigers.
Wang Junlin was startled, he didn't expect that the boy Goguryeo sent to compete with them in riding and shooting was Yuan Gai Suwen, he was surprised, but he had already put half of his mind on this boy. After all, this son is a celebrity. He killed the king and became the most famous power minister in the history of Goguryeo. He is a hero comparable to Cao Cao. Not to mention the attack, it also caused a lot of losses to Li Shimin's army at that time.
At this time, Shen Guang had personally sent over the blood-maned horse, the miniature version of the divine bow, and the Dragon Sparrow Knife. This miniature version of the divine bow was shot by Niu Zhiyuan because of its fast arrow speed and accurate shooting. After naming it Fengling Bow, Niu Zhiyuan first appeased the excited blood-maned horse, put the dragon sparrow knife on his waist, turned on the horse, and held the Fengling Bow. At this time, a servant in the palace sent Niu Zhiyuan A jug of thirty treated arrows—headless arrows, but red-painted arrows.
"When!"
A bell rang from afar. It was a reminder to prepare. Because he was worried that the effect of the red paint would disappear, he immediately prepared to start the competition without any delay. Wang Junlin looked calm and galloped away.
Banquet and martial arts competition is always a grand event that people look forward to. At this moment, the guests from the other two side halls also came after hearing the news. More than a thousand guests gathered around the two sides of the square, whispering and discussing the three people from the Three Kingdoms. Archers, everyone waited with great expectation for the start of this Bibi riding and archery event.
The VIP seats have also been arranged. On the steps in front of the main hall, dozens of couches were set up. Yang Guang and Xiao Huang and Empress Xiao sat in the middle, and on both sides were the eldest princess Yang Lihua, the crown prince Yang Zhao, and the king of Qi Yang Hao. On the right are Goguryeo envoy Yeon Tae-jo and Silla prince Jin Gook-fan, still accompanied by Yang Xuangan, minister of Honglu Temple, and other noble royals and important ministers sitting on both sides.
'When! With a knock on the cloud board, the thousand guests watching the battle fell silent for a moment, and then the sound of horseshoes sounded, and the three knights rushed forward like lightning. All in admiration.
The arrow competition between the Sui Dynasty and the Turks has been experienced many times. Although this time it is a night arrow shooting, and it is a mutual shooting. It is different from the previous competition, but it is more exciting.
Three people ride horses in a triangle, with a distance of a hundred steps from each other. After they start, the distance can be changed. After the sound is over, the time is up. When the time comes, it doesn't matter whether the pot of thirty arrows is shot or not, just count the marks left by the red paint on the three people to count the number of winners and losers.
It's okay if two people shoot at each other, but the most nervous thing is when three people shoot at each other at the same time. In this way, everyone has to guard against the other two at the same time, and it will be difficult to concentrate.
'When! ’ There was another knock on the cloud board, and the three archers were full of fighting spirit, and the three war horses were also full of energy, eager to try.
Wang Junlin held the Fengling Bow in his hand and squinted at the other two competitors. A, with a leather belt around his waist, the Turkic people are very good at riding and shooting, but he is a Turkic genius archer. He can participate in bear hunting at the age of five. He has extraordinary courage. He won the first place with a score of 100, and the second place was only 80 of 100 arrows. Because of this, Turkic Khan let him lead the most elite silver wolf king cavalry in Turkic.
At this moment, Ashina Tuoji bit his lips tightly, holding the strong bow he specially brought from Turkic in his hand, staring sharply at Wang Junlin who was a hundred paces away, with a cold and murderous look on his face.
Yuan Gai Suwen still maintained his indifferent gaze, neither arrogant nor enthusiastic, but he stared at Wang Junlin and Ashina Duo Jishi with flickering eyes, not knowing what to think in his heart. He is only seventeen years old, but his expression is gloomy, making people feel like an old fox who has experienced many vicissitudes.
After knowing that Yuangai Suwen is a hero comparable to Cao Cao in the history of Goguryeo, Wang Junlin's attention on this son has already surpassed that of Ashina Dujishi, and his eyes fell on Yuangai Suwen's longbow On the top, it was a black riding bow, the bow arm was six feet long, and the string was as thin as silk. In the faint light coming from the direction of the main hall, his bow arm shone with a layer of jade-colored crystals.
This bow is at least five stones. Gai Suwen has already taken off his black robe, revealing a tight-fitting warrior armor with thin scales. His arms are broad and his hands are slender, as if he has the strength of a thousand catties.
"This young man is already a master at the breaking stage." Wang Junlin thought secretly, judging the opponent's strength.
