Chapter 607 A competition

"Brother Xue, you can rest assured," Chai Jin clasped his fists to him, "We will naturally protect Luo Yu well, you go and meet the emperor first, and we will come over slowly."

"Okay," Xue Lince nodded and replied, "I will leave Luo Yu to you for the time being. I will go to see the emperor first. There are many birds and beasts in the forest, so you should be very careful."

Everyone responded, and Xue Lince explained a few more words before leaving in peace.

Seeing his back gradually disappearing into the dark green, Guan Yue playfully poked Tang Luoyu's shoulder with her finger, "Master Xue is gone, are you afraid?"

Tang Luoyu chuckled, and spoke calmly and calmly, "There's nothing to be afraid of, it's just a hunt."

Several people joked for a while, and then rode slowly towards Xue Lince's direction.

At the same time, on the other side, Xue Lince quickly joined the emperor and the others. Xiao Hua had been with the little emperor for a long time. When he saw Xue Lince coming over, he twitched his brows and looked at him with scrutiny. He squeezed the bow and arrow on the horse's back, as if he also regarded him as a hunting target.

Everyone waited for a while, until the father-in-law came forward to inform the little emperor that the people had arrived, and then he cleared his throat and announced the start of the spring search.

Before the emperor could finish speaking, Xiao Hua spoke first.

"Your Majesty, in my opinion, it would be too monotonous to only hunt during the spring search season."

The little emperor had a keen mind and heard something strange, "Then what does His Highness mean?"

Xiaohua shook the bow and arrow in her hand, "In my opinion, since the hunters from Xianbei and the Central Plains finally got together, why not take this opportunity to have a match and win two out of three rounds. What do you think, Your Majesty?"

As long as it involves a competition between the two countries, it is a secret rivalry. If you don't answer, it will make the other party feel cowardly. The emperor has no choice but to respond first.

"What your highness said is novel, since that's the case, how does your highness think it's better to compete?"

Seeing that the emperor agreed, Xiaohua immediately became proud, and swept her gaze over everyone, "Since it's Chunsou, the competition is naturally hunting and archery, why not try the accuracy in the first round."

The ministers suddenly whispered.

The emperor's eyebrows twitched, "How do you compare?"

"Since it's head-to-head comparison, let's compare who can shoot more rabbits within a cup of tea," Xiao Hua said proudly, "However, hitting the rabbit doesn't count, but hitting the head counts."

This comparison is not surprising, the emperor responded immediately, and Mr. Li who was beside him immediately recommended his son to compete.

Mr. Li's archery skills are quite superb, and the little emperor had heard about it, so he agreed to participate in the first competition without thinking too much.

On Xianbei's side, Xiaohua did not participate in the competition herself, but sent a burly attendant beside her.

Soon, the subordinates vacated an open space for the soldiers of both sides, and everyone dispersed around the open space. After everyone stood still, the father-in-law dumped a frame of hares in the open space.

As soon as it touched the ground, the hare immediately fled in all directions, burrowed into the bushes, and scurried among the vegetation, making a "rustling" sound.

Having a target prepared in advance saved a lot of time. The attendants and Mr. Li bent their bows and set arrows, hoping to shoot a few more rabbits when they were completely hidden.

Mr. Li has strong arms, eyes like a falcon, and a resolute face. When he draws his bow fully, he looks like a keen bird looking for prey. The people who have retreated outside the circle have not seen anything unusual in the bushes, but he has already let go of his grip. Bowstring hand.

"咻咻" a few arrows went down, and the arrows pierced into the bushes like spears. Everyone could only hear the rabbit whimpering. come out.

It was a pity that the arrow pierced through the rabbits' bodies, and only one of them hit the head.

The emperor didn't blame him, but just made a gesture to Mr. Li, signaling him to continue.

On the other side, Xiaohua's attendants have already drawn their bows. This man is tall, with broad shoulders, and his body is as strong as a cow. Bigger and heavier than normal.

His eyes were also sharp, and the fundus of his eyes even rose to a frightening crimson. It seemed that he was not hunting, but fighting against the enemy. His eyeballs were bigger than sky lanterns.

At this time, when there was a movement in the bushes, he immediately held his breath and focused his attention, his eyes shook violently, and he let go of the bowstring suddenly, only to see the strong arrow galloping away, and with a "snap", it sank into the grass, knocking the grass away. The leaves were scattered and splashed, raising a cloud of dust.

The little emperor felt relieved, although Mr. Li only shot a rabbit in the head just now, but the Xianbei man only shot one arrow. One-third of the time, you can slowly catch up later.

The father-in-law went to pick up the rabbit, but the Xianbei attendant didn't continue the competition, but just held the bowstring in his hand, straightened his back, and looked very well-adjusted, especially arrogant.

An ominous premonition flashed in Xue Lince's heart, and he felt something was wrong.

Sure enough, when the father-in-law picked up the bloody rabbit carcass, everyone's eyes widened. It turned out that the long and heavy arrow had pierced the heads of a litter of rabbits. as many as one.

Everyone was startled, and Mr. Li also stopped his movements in surprise.

Seeing this, Xiaohua also straightened her back, her face was full of complacency, and she squinted her eyes, like a proud cat. He rode his horse and paced up to the emperor, and said awkwardly: "Your Majesty, Xianbei people are not good at riding. Shooting, my servant is the one with the most shallow riding skills, which made the emperor laugh."

This remark is stinging in the dark, ridiculing that the riding skills in the Central Plains are not worth mentioning. The officials are all old foxes who have been in the officialdom for many years. How could they not understand the implication? Looking at these Xianbei people with disgust, Mr. Li hurriedly recalled his son.

Mr. Li had no choice but to put away his bow and arrow, lowered his head and slowly mixed in the crowd, buried in the shadow of the trees, trying to reduce his sense of existence.

"Your Highness is serious." The emperor is worthy of being an emperor's family. Although he is conflicted in his heart, his face is still gentle and gentle. "Your country has always had nomadic habits. Even if it is really not superb as His Highness said, it is better than the Central Plains, which is full of hills and mountains. When I am marching and fighting, I am accurate towards the soldiers."

The emperor also knew that Xiao Hua was showing off the strength of the soldiers of another country to him, so he handled it lightly. Although he was praising the other party, he was also saying that the two armies had their own strengths, implying that Xiao Hua should not get carried away.

Xiao Hua was stunned for a moment, her expression froze, and then she looked up to the sky and laughed a few times.
