The happy life of a prodigal

Fang Xiu took the apple over and glanced at Honglu Siqing.

The face of Honglu Siqing changed, he covered his forehead, and immediately said: "General Fang, I feel unwell..."

After speaking, he took a few steps back.

Fang Xiu's gaze swept across the crowd, and finally settled on Yan Zhuang.

When Yan Zhuang saw this scene, the corners of his mouth twitched, and just about to say something, he heard him say: "In that case, let me come..."

After Fang Xiu finished speaking, he put the apple on his head.

When I was on duty in the palace, I had seen Liang Hu's arrow technique, and it was no problem to hit an apple from thirty paces away.

In fact, it is not difficult to hit an apple from [-] paces away. There are many people who can do it just by You Yulin Wei.

What is difficult is the courage and calmness of the archery. As long as the archer shakes his hand, it may cause serious consequences.

Liang Hu has been fighting in the frontier for many years, if he didn't have a calm mind and extraordinary bravery, how could he have survived unharmed and changed from an unknown pawn to the right middle general of Habayashi Guard.

For him, Fang Xiu is still very confident.

Liang Hu didn't expect General Fang to trust him so much, he was slightly taken aback, with a firm look on his face, he took a bow without hesitation, and said: "General, don't worry."

When Fang Xiu heard this, he smiled, walked thirty steps away, and before turning around, he said loudly, "I'm ready."

As soon as he finished speaking, Liang Hu unleashed his bow and arrow.

A moment later, Fang Xiu turned around, picked up the arrow wearing the apple, and walked in front of everyone.

The arrow passed through the center of the apple, exactly like the guy from the prairie just now.

Seeing this scene, the Seventh Prince was astonished, and he couldn't help admiring: "It's unexpected that Chu people are also good at archery."

Fang Xiu smiled and said: "Prairie people are good at riding and shooting, but those who are good at riding and shooting are not grassland people."

The Seventh Prince looked at him and asked: "The winner is still in the game, let's compete again, this time, how about fifty steps?"

Fang Xiu nodded and said, "Yes."

The Seventh Prince threw an apple to the big man and said, "Go, I will compare this match."

The big man took the apple and was about to leave.

Fang Xiu stretched out his hand suddenly, stopped him, and said, "Wait."

The Seventh Prince looked at him and asked, "My lord, do you regret it?"

Fang Xiu shook his head and said: "It's more meaningless than this, how about this, let the opponent hold the apple against the apple, if the person holding the apple is timid, that side will lose, how about it?"

He looked at the Seventh Prince and said, "This game is still for you to go first. The Seventh Prince can choose one of my right feather guards at will. I wonder if the Seventh Prince dares?"

"Why don't you dare?"

The Seventh Prince looked at him and said, "Why don't you choose General Fang, but I don't know if you dare to choose General Fang?"

Fang Xiu didn't answer, but took the apple from the man's hand.

Seeing this scene, Liang Hu hurried forward and said, "General Fang, don't..."

The Minister of Honglu Temple also walked to his side, and whispered: "General, you must not be arrogant..."

Fang Xiu showed a smile on his face, waved his hand, looked at the Seventh Prince, and said, "It's okay, this general believes in the Seventh Prince's arrow skills."

Chapter 2 Fifteen We admit defeat

The Qiyan tribe is famous for its riding and archery. It is said that even an ordinary woman has the archery skill of piercing Yang with a hundred steps, let alone the majestic Seventh Prince.

Therefore, Fang Xiu was very relieved about his archery skills.

"It's time to start."

Fang Xiu walked fifty steps away, looked back at the Seventh Prince, and said calmly.

Seeing this scene, Liang Hu silently stood beside the Seventh Prince, staring at the bow in his hand with a pair of sharp eyes.

The Seventh Prince glanced at Liang Hu, with a disdainful smile on the corner of his mouth, but he didn't say much, holding the bow, and slowly raised his arm.

He stared straight ahead, and his breathing gradually became steady.

call out!

The Seventh Prince let go of his hand, and a black glow disappeared in an instant.

Fang Xiu patted the apple crumbs on his head, turned around and walked more than ten steps, picked up the arrow, walked over, and said, "Seventh Prince is really good at arrows."

Hearing this, the seventh prince showed a look of arrogance on his face, slowly lowered his bow, and said, "It's your turn."

Fang Xiu smiled, raised his eyes, and glanced over the members of the Begging Yan Department, and finally fixed his eyes on the Seventh Prince.

"It's better to choose the Seventh Prince."

The Seventh Prince frowned slightly, and a big man immediately stepped forward and said a few words anxiously.

"It's okay."

The Seventh Prince waved his hand, glanced at Liang Hu beside him, and said, "This man's archery skills are not weak, and the distance of fifty steps is not difficult for him."

He took the apple and walked forward.

At the same time, Fang Xiu walked up to Liang Hu, looked at him, and asked, "Fifty steps, are you sure?"

Liang Hu raised his head, glanced at the Seventh Prince's back, nodded, and said, "No problem."

"Since there is no problem, what is the point of this competition?"

Fang Xiu frowned and said.

When Liang Hu heard this, he was slightly startled, obviously he didn't understand what he meant.

"or......"

Fang Xiu looked at the bow and arrow in his hand and said, "Let me try this round?"

Liang Hu was slightly taken aback, and after a while, he asked in a little surprise, "The general also knows how to shoot arrows?"

Fang Xiu hadn't even touched a sword a few times, so he didn't know anything about archery.

He shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter if you understand a little bit, you can try it this time..."

Hearing this, everyone present, including the Chief Assistant of the Cabinet Yan Zhuang and Minister of the Ministry of War Ma Wenhua had strange expressions on their faces.

The minister of Honglu Temple on the side hurried forward, leaned over to Fang Xiu's ear, and whispered: "General Fang, you don't know how to shoot arrows, you should leave it to General Liang, in case the shot misses... ..”

Fang Xiu glanced at Honglu Siqing, with an expression of indifference on his face, and said casually: "If the shot misses, the shot misses, what does it matter if you lose a game, victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs, who has never lost in life? "

After finishing speaking, he raised the bow and arrow in his hand, making a gesture to shoot an arrow...

Seeing this scene, several people from the Begging Yan Department showed shock on their faces.

One of the big men who knew a little bit of Chu language shouted: "What are you doing?"

Fang Xiu glanced at him, and said indifferently: "Shooting arrows, what else can you do?"

"Wait!"

The big man stood in front of him and said angrily, "If you shoot an arrow like this, the arrow will fall and hit the prince..."

When Fang Xiu heard this, his face showed a look of surprise, he nodded and said, "So that's how it is."

After finishing speaking, he raised the bow slightly, but the hand holding the bow began to tremble a little.

Seeing this scene, the big man sweated coldly on his forehead, and hurriedly corrected him: "Your posture for holding the bow is wrong, you should..."

Before he finished speaking, Fang Xiu said impatiently: "Is it the general who shoots the arrow, or you?"

Hearing this, the big man frowned, gritted his teeth, and asked, "Do you understand archery?"

"What does it matter to you whether the general understands archery?"

Fang Xiu raised his bow and arrow, and said: "Furthermore, even if you don't understand it, so what, shoot a few more arrows, and you will understand. Who in this world is born with the knowledge of archery?

Even you prairie people have to practice countless times before you can have excellent archery skills, right? "

When everyone in the Qiyan Department heard this, they all felt that it made sense, but they also felt that there was something strange about it.

Only the prairie woman whom I met in Chunfenglou had a faint smile on her face, but she didn't say much.

Fang Xiu paused, raised the bow and arrow in his hand, and said to the man standing in front of him: "Get out of the way quickly, or the general's hand shakes and the arrow misses. Don't blame the general!"

Seeing this scene, the big man became anxious, reached out and snatched the bow from his hand, and said, "Don't shoot!"

On the side, when Liang Hu and the soldiers of Habayashi Guard saw this scene, their faces showed anger, and they were about to rush up in the next second to take down the man from the begging department.

Fang Xiu waved his hand to signal them not to be nervous.

Then, he raised his eyes, looked at Honglu Siqing and the Seventh Prince, spread his hands, and asked, "How does this count?"

The members of the Begging Yan Department finally understood what had happened.

The general of the Chu State in front of him obviously wanted to threaten the life of the Seventh Prince to force them to admit defeat.

"You are cheating!"

Several people from the Begging Yan Department glared at Fang Xiu and shouted.

Fang Xiu looked indifferently, glanced at them, and said: "The rules are set by you, one player per round, and the last round is over.

This round is my turn, you are the ones messing around and blocking the normal progress of the competition, how can you slander the general for cheating? "

Seeing this scene, the Seventh Prince looked gloomy, and subconsciously looked at the woman sitting on the chair, and saw her nodded.

So, gritted his teeth and walked over from the front, looked at Fang Xiu, and said, "This match, we admit defeat."

Hearing this, Fang Xiu shook his head and said, "Actually, my general's arrow skills are not bad. Does the Seventh Prince really want to give it a try?"

The Seventh Prince's face was gloomy, but he pretended to be indifferent. The two emotions were mixed together, which made his expression look very strange.

"no need."

After a while, he waved his hand and said calmly.

It's like that between people.

Fang Xiu trusted him to risk himself, but what he got in return for his trust was suspicion...

Known for their bravery and riding and shooting, the Beggars of the Grassland suffered a crushing defeat in the two fields they were most proud of. Not only did they lose, but they couldn't afford to lose.

After walking out from Honglu Temple, several people from the Begging Yan Department still had angry expressions on their faces.

Among them, there is even a hot-tempered person who yells directly in grassland language.

The content is nothing more than describing the Chu people as cunning foxes.

Although the Seventh Prince didn't show that anger, his expression was very gloomy, not much better than theirs.

As for Wanyan Yanran, she didn't seem to care about it.

She glanced at the seventh prince, and said in a very flat tone: "I warned you earlier, Fang Xiu is full of tricks, and you are not able to deal with it."

Hearing this, the Seventh Prince lowered his head and said in a unwilling tone: "I never thought that this fellow would be so despicable and shameless!

Next time, I must let him know that he cannot deal with the warriors of our begging face department by relying on these dirty tricks! "

Chapter 2 Sixteen

Although psychological preparations had been made in advance, this banquet at Honghe Temple still surprised many people, especially the civil and military officials of Chu State.

They thought about countless possibilities, but they never thought that they would crush the Qiyan tribe, the head of the grassland, with this posture.

The grassland tribes sent envoys to Chu State for the first time in several years, so it was naturally impossible to end it with a banquet.

What's more, a prince and a princess came to the Begging Yan Department this time. In such a battle, there must be other important things besides the competition.

Not long after Fang Xiu came back from Honglu Temple, another news came from the palace that His Majesty wanted to invite envoys from all the tribes of the grassland to go to court together.

This time, Fang Xiu, as the biggest contributor to the banquet at the Honglu Temple, naturally also participated.

This is the first time he has gone to court since he was dragged by the dog emperor to be the Habayashi guard Zuo Zhonglang.

After Xiu'er heard the news, she was even more excited than Fang Xiu herself, and prepared the dress she should wear when going to court two days in advance.

On that day, she stood in front of Fang Xiu's door early in the day, waiting for him to get up and wash up, more carefully than before.

Fang Xiu didn't feel anything about it. After all, the emperor had seen a lot, and he wasn't nervous at the beginning.
