Wind and Rain Empire

In the center of the martial arts competition venue, the officials of the Ministry of Rites placed archery targets on the field. There are three targets in total, and there are lifting devices beside them.

Seeing that the layout of the venue was ready, Eunuch Wu announced:

"The archery competition of the first Song Xia Allied Forces Tournament has officially started. The rules of the competition are as follows. First, all the generals in the Song Dynasty will participate in the competition, and they cannot refuse for any reason; second, they will be divided into three groups. One point will be scored for each hit, and no points will be counted for no hit. The group with the highest accumulated points will be the winner, and the reward will be 100 taels."

All the generals participating in the competition stand in front of the three targets, and the palace people distribute bows and arrows

After each person got ten arrows, they lined up randomly. Lan Xueyi, Li Xiaoliang and Zhang Tiancheng were at the front of the line.

Shi Miyuan raised the flag and shouted "Ready!"

three people draw bow

Seeing that the three were ready, Shi Miyuan waved the flag and shouted, "Let the arrows go!"

The three of them were all firmly in the heart, and they looked at each other, speechless

The generals behind followed immediately, and from then on some people got hearts and others missed

After several rounds, when there are only three arrows left for each person, the target is raised, and the officials of the Ministry of Rituals use a long bamboo pole to move the target separately, and the target swings left and right in the air.

Lan Xueyi looked at the swinging target and smiled.

Zhang Tianyu saw Lan Xueyi smiling, and approached

"Why, General Lan thinks this is not difficult enough? Are you still laughing?"

Lan Xueyi glanced at him

"If this is still difficult, there is no need to fight"

Li Xiaoliang looked at the two of them and said lightly

"Now the score is our team leading, you two need to work hard"

The emperor whispered to Eunuch Wu

Eunuch Wu announced

"Everyone, please note that the rules have been temporarily changed. Due to the increase in difficulty, those who hit the red heart will get 5 points, those who hit the target will not get any points, and those who miss the target will be eliminated immediately, this is it."

The three team members discussed

After Shi Miyuan shouted to get ready, Lan Xueyi, Zhang Tianyu, and Li Xiaoliang drew their bows, and Lan Xueyi's arrow shook gently with the bull's-eye to aim at it.

With the order to release the arrows, three arrows flew out at a high speed, watching Lan Xueyi's arrow hit the bull's-eye, while Zhang Tianyu and Li Xiaoliang's arrows hit the target

Lan Xueyi smiled at the two of them

"Sorry, we're ahead this time!"

Li Xiaoliang sneered

"Don't be complacent, the game is not over yet"

After another round of archery, the teammates of the three teams were finally eliminated, leaving only Lan Xueyi, Zhang Tianyu and Li Xiaoliang

Officials from the Ministry of Rites stepped forward and moved the target with a long bamboo pole, and the target swayed back and forth, left and right, and spun

Zhang Tianyu looked at the spinning target

"No way, what's the fun?"

Li Xiaoliang looked at Zhang Tianyu, looking at him provocatively

"What? Are you afraid?"

Zhang Tianyu pretended to have no scruples

"Am I afraid? What am I afraid of? The worst thing is to lose!"

Lan Xueyi looked at the two of them with disdain

"If you are moaning, then I will shoot first"

As she draws her bow to start shooting, she thinks

"I can't shoot this time, I have to let one of them hit, or I will get the limelight again."

Shoot an arrow at random, only on the target, still some distance from the red heart

Zhang Tianyu little blue snow clothes

"Look, you are impatient, but in the end, didn't you miss the shot? (Looking at Li Xiaoliang) Prince, wait, let me go first."

Li Xiaoliang has a look of watching the show

"Okay, my prince wants to see how you can hit this spinning target"

Zhang Tianyu drew the bow and shot it with full confidence, but the arrow was not strong enough and missed, hit the edge of the target and flew away

Li Xiaoliang was gloating at this time

"Ha, General Zhang, you are nothing more than that, you have already been eliminated, let me see if I shoot you a heart! (Pull the bow)"

Zhang Tianyu mocked him

"Don't get complacent too early, you don't know if you hit the shot or not!"

Li Xiaoliang let go of the arrow, but the arrow was also deflected, and it still flew out

Lan Xueyi held his forehead speechlessly and sighed

"These two hundred and five, still want to let them show off, that's great..."

Zhang Tianyu and Li Xiaoliang looked at Lan Xueyi

Lan Xueyi thought that he should at least pretend not to be too disappointed, so he put on an air of pride

"What are you looking at? This is the strength of this general!"

As soon as she turned around, she was discouraged, because seeing Li Siqin waving at her excitedly, her inner monologue

"It's all because Zhang Tianyu, that unbelievable guy, made me stand out again."

Lan Xueyi, Zhang Tianyu, Li Xiaoliang and others walked up to the emperor and knelt down on one knee

Eunuch Wu announced the result of the competition

"As a result of scoring, General Lan Xueyi's team scored 50 points, General Zhang Tianyu's team scored 45 points, Prince Xia's Li Xiaoliang team scored 48 points, and General Lan Xueyi's team won!"

The emperor looked at Lan Xueyi's unhappy face

"Why, Xueyi, you are not happy that you won?"

Lan Xueyi Arched Road

"Back to the official's house, the general just thinks that the performance of the prince and General Zhang is not good, and that they did not meet the expectations of the general, and he is a little disappointed."

The emperor smiled

"Hahaha, I also feel the same way, but Song and Xia are friendly, and it doesn't matter whether they win or lose. There will be opportunities to compare in the future."

Eunuch Wu ordered the two eunuchs to hand over a tray to Lan Xueyi, in which were gold ingots

"General Lan, here is your 100 taels of gold"

Lan Xueyi looked at the generals in his team

"We have a total of 5 people in this team, so let's divide it equally among everyone."

Eunuch Wu respectfully replied

"Of course, of course, this is yours, you can divide it as you like"

Eunuch Wu asked the little eunuch to distribute the gold to the other four people in Lan Xueyi's team, and the little eunuch withdrew the remaining gold ingots.

After receiving the gold, the four generals showed overjoyed smiles, and handed over to Lan Xueyi

"Thank you, General Lan!"

Eunuch Wu announced

"Today's martial arts competition is over, and all parties are leaving in an orderly manner"

Concubine Shu dozed off, her head fell, and she woke up suddenly

"Eh? What? It's over? Who won (pushed Concubine Tuide)"

Defei also woke up

"Huh? Who won?"

Concubine Xian got up with a dissatisfied face, and left the seat, and the concubine followed

Zi Linglong stood up and was grabbed by Concubine Shu

Concubine Shu asked

"Sister Zhaorong, who won in the end?"

Zi Linglong smiled, "What do you guess?"

Seeing Zi Linglong's smile, Concubine Shu guessed

"You smile so brightly, I think Da Song must have won?"

De Fei stood up, twisted her arms and relaxed

"Oh, to be precise, it must be General Lan!"

Concubine Shu feels incredible

"Yo! Is it really her? It's amazing, I can win this (stand up, stretch)"

Zi Linglong looked at Lan Xueyi's figure, and saw that she was also looking at her

"She hasn't tried her best yet, and it was the other two mistakes that made her win. She is still not reconciled!"

The grand ceremony of the day finally came to an end, and when the crowd dispersed, Lan Xueyi came to the imperial study at the invitation of Eunuch Wu, and saw that the emperor was also sitting and thinking about something

Eunuch Wu stood aside, listening to the two talking

"Look at all the civil and military officials in the dynasty who know that you are a daughter. Even if she is blind, she should know that you are a woman after hearing a little bit of gossip from those officials. The princess of Xia actually wants to marry you, ah , I’m really speechless (sigh) Xue Yi, what do you think about this matter about Xi Xia’s son-in-law?”

Lan Xueyi also sighed

"Father, Xue Yi never thought that a girl would go to a martial arts competition, and she was molested so easily... I think it's better for me to confess to the princess."

"I think you should be more tactful. It's better to let her give up on you. You can't just say 'oh, I forgot to tell you that I'm a woman'? And that summer Wang, it is impossible for me to find him and say to him, "Oh, I forgot to tell you that the son-in-law you chose is a woman", right? What I didn't explain at the beginning, I can't say it now, and I have given You have thought of a way, didn't you blow the Mulan Song? You can understand what it means, right?"

Lan Xueyi shook his head

"Father, only you and the musicians know that Mulan Ci is being played. Who else can tell what it is? (Pause) Oh, except Linglong"

emperor surprised

"Don't you know such a famous song as Mulan Ci? If they still can't understand the meaning of the song, they are really stupid. So you have to find a way to solve it yourself. I will give you three days, and you and Zhang Tianyu will accompany the princess Go around the capital, during this period, you can either tell her clearly to let her give up on you, or ask her to choose a consort to marry, you can handle this yourself."

Lan Xueyi hands up

"Yes, adoptive father (pauses for a moment) Xueyi has already figured out a good way"

The emperor looked at Lan Xueyi with admiration

"Xue Yi is indeed smart, with a quick brain, I knew you would be able to solve this problem properly."

Ziyun Pavilion

Zi Linglong was teaching Hong Wan how to play the zither, Lan Xueyi walked into the room and coughed lightly twice, Zi Linglong opened the bead curtain, looked outside, saw that it was Lan Xueyi, felt a little strange

she came out with a smile and doubts

"Xue Yi, why is it you? What's the matter with you? You've competed martial arts all day today, aren't you tired? Why don't you go home and rest?"

Lan Xueyi sat down on the stool

"I miss you"

Zi Linglong's heart skipped a beat, but she quickly realized that Lan Xueyi was teasing her

"You're teasing me again, tell me, what happened?"

"Don't mention it, foster father told me to accompany that Princess Xia to visit the capital in the next three days."

Zi Linglong felt more and more strange

"What? Three days? Visit the capital for three days? Why?"

Lan Xueyi looked at Zi Linglong with innocent eyes

"Say I caused the trouble myself and tell me to clean it up myself"

Zi Linglong thought for a while, then laughed, and poured tea for Lan Xueyi

"Oh~ I see, is it about the son-in-law? Speaking of which, the princess is really blind, she didn't pick you among so many men."

Lan Xueyi served the teacup

"You know and ask"

Zi Linglong sat beside Lan Xueyi

"Isn't this easy to solve? Just marry her, and then tell her that you can't do your best, and you can't share a room, wouldn't it be fine?"

Lan Xueyi has a slightly serious tone

"How can that be? Wouldn't that ruin her life? I can't do this kind of thing"

Zi Linglong's hand rested lightly on Lan Xueyi's arm

"I know you wouldn't do this to her, I'm just kidding, don't be angry"

"I came to you seriously to discuss countermeasures, so don't keep joking around."

Zi Linglong caressed Lan Xueyi's hand

"Okay, okay, you say what you say, I listen, absolutely serious!"

"I want to find a way to make her give up on me. Do you have any good methods?"

Zi Linglong lowered her eyes and thought

"Give up on you? To be honest, there is no reason to give up more easily than you being a woman"

"But now, it's impossible for me to run to her and say (changing into a deep male voice) 'You misunderstood me, I'm actually a woman'"

Zi Linglong held back her laugh

"Why can't you tell me?"

"How embarrassing would that be?"

"You have to say it sooner or later!"

Lan Xueyi knocked on the table with her finger

"Hey! That's why I came to you to find a solution. You don't need to say anything else, just say what kind of man you hate."

Zi Linglong tilted her head and thought carefully

"The men I hate? (for a moment) One is a man who is a womanizer, who obviously has a good wife but still goes around drinking flowers and fooling around outside; For my wife, women are born delicate and delicate to be used for pain, not for beating; the third is the man I personally hate the most, that is, a man who is unable to protect his wife, no matter in terms of financial or physical strength. This kind of man, take a step back and talk about pitiful, and further talk about hate. In short, I hate these three kinds of men, why do you ask this?"

Lan Xueyi took it for granted

"I'm studying!"

Zi Linglong stared and asked

"Learn how to be an annoying man?"

"Yeah, if I don't annoy that princess, won't she keep pestering me?"

Zi Linglong is thinking

"But every woman hates different men"

Lan Xueyi slapped the table

"Okay, I'll try to come, there will always be something she hates"

Zi Linglong looked at Lan Xueyi with an expression of "I really can't do anything about you".

"I hope so, if you learn all these three things, she will definitely hate you."
