Dianxia Qingcheng

Seeing that there seemed to be no one answering the gong, the person who beat the gong put away the gong and drum, and prepared to go get a bow and arrow and distribute one to each person.

Suddenly, a person stepped out from the side of the crowd. He was tall and tall, with an extraordinary bearing, and a black mask on his face.

Pei Zheng walked to the place where the bow and arrow were placed, bent down and picked up a bow. The quality of this bow is really rough, so it can only be used to shoot haystacks. go.

I've never used such a bad bow before, and it's so light when I hold it.

Pei hesitated twice, then glanced behind him.

Shen Jiujiu was looking at his direction eagerly, and when he saw him looking over, he waved his hand excitedly, and even hit the hair crown of Shen Huan who was beside him.

Shen Huan glanced at Shen Jiujiu with dissatisfaction, seeing that he was drunk and stupid, let's not bother with him for the time being, straightened the hair crown by himself, and then fished out his arm.

"Calm down for a while, stinky apprentice, do you still have me as a master in your eyes? It's really..."

As for Li Yu and Chengfeng, standing in the noisy crowd seemed a bit out of place, their faces were calm and there was no disturbance.

There is no need to be nervous at all, adults can outperform them even with their eyes closed.

The corners of Pei Zheng's lips twitched under the mask, he turned back, walked to the first position and stood down.

Seeing the gong knocker, he hurried over and asked with a smile, "Does this young master also want to join our competition? Then pay the money first."

Before Pei Zheng could speak, Li Yu from the crowd waved his hand, "I'm here."

The one who beat the gong said, "Reward!"

Then he ran to Li Yu.

The eyes of all the people in the audience followed the man to the direction of Li Yu and the others, and Li Yu searched for a long time, but he couldn't find any loose money. His youngest was five taels of silver.

So, under the watchful eyes of everyone, Li Yu casually took out five taels of silver and put it in the man's hand, which caused an uproar from the surrounding people.

The face of the beating gong showed embarrassment, "Young masters, this... I really can't find it..."

Li Yu waved his hand, "There's no need to look for it."

It caused an uproar from others.

The music of beating the gong blossomed, and it was really lucky to meet such a rich and powerful master tonight.

After giving the money, he could still clearly feel that people around him were looking at Li Yu and the people around him from time to time, and it was true that they were quite eye-catching.

Chen Huan touched Li Yu with his arm, and whispered, "Why do you give him so much money! You can help me if you have money, don't waste it! You people in the Prime Minister's Mansion really don't understand the suffering of the people!"

Li Yu still felt aggrieved, "That's the smallest money in my whole body. But, Master Shen, I remember that you should have brought copper coins. Are you willing to pay?"

When it came to giving money, Shen Huan regained his composure, and retreated to his little apprentice, "Pretend I didn't say anything."

The arrows have all been delivered to the hands of the people on the field.

The rich man with the painted face and mask was the first to shoot the bow. After looking left and right for a long while, the arrow flew out and actually hit the bull's-eye on the opposite wall.

Only a group of people in the crowd cheered and jumped up, they looked like attendants brought by a rich man.

Seeing that the others didn't even applaud, the attendants immediately glared at the people around them fiercely.

Sparse applause finally broke out.

The rich man crossed his hips and looked at the remaining people triumphantly.

The second person's arrow also flew out, but he didn't even hit the target, and so did the others, either missing the target or missing the bull's-eye.

It was Pei Zheng's turn to stand at the back. He raised his bow, held the bow in his left hand, and clasped the string with three fingers in his right hand. The posture was very skillful, and the arrow flew out immediately, hitting the red heart with a "swoosh".

And the target on the wall shook for a while, and then fell down from the shock.

In fact, the bow and arrow were too light, and Pei Zheng couldn't handle them smoothly, but it was easy to shoot something that didn't move.

"It's amazing, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah."

Milky cheers came from the crowd and reached Pei Zheng's ears.

Shen Huan quickly covered Shen Jiu's mouth, "Keep your voice down, apprentice, we've attracted enough attention tonight, keep a low profile, be good."

Shen Jiujiu nodded, and stopped shouting, but looked at Pei Zheng with stars shining in his eyes.

Suddenly, thunderous applause and cheers erupted spontaneously, and from time to time, other people in the crowd followed Shen Jiujiu's example and shouted.

"cool"

"excellent"

"It's amazing"

Pei Zheng was stunned, and the bow of his finger was suddenly tightened by him.

The cheers all around are for him, he has never been approved of like this before, and no one has ever stood by his side.

Now he feels that this feeling is not bad.

"Both hit our bullseye today, so both are our winners..."

Before the gong knocker could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the rich man.

"What two winners, there can only be one winner today, and there is no doubt that it must be me!"

The rich man pointed at Pei Zheng and said angrily, "Where did you come from? Without you, all the applause tonight would be mine! Do you dare to compete with me again? I lose People have to promise a condition to the winner, dare you!"

Pei Zheng raised his eyebrows, "I will accompany you to the end."

"Okay." The rich man glanced at the crowd, "How about this, find someone who stands still with a lantern on his head, and whoever can shoot will be counted.

He waved his hand, and the attendant next to him brought up two small lanterns, only half the size of a palm, and the yellow ones were very delicate.

He added, "But the candidates, we have to pick for each other."

The young man of the rich family obviously looked somewhere, and Pei Zheng's heart skipped a beat.

Sure enough, the rich man pointed to a small figure in the crowd and said, "I choose him."

The eyes of the crowd also looked at Qiqi. Shen Jiujiu didn't know why, and kept looking in Pei Zheng's direction. Seeing Pei Zheng turn around, he smiled at him, but the mask blocked his face. Only the curved eyebrows can be seen.

The rich young man said cheerfully, "It's up to you to choose."

Pei Zheng glanced at the attendants, but pointed to the gong knocker, "He."

The gong knocker's eyes widened, "I...choose me?"

The rich young man was also a little stunned, but the words had already been released, so he could only nod in agreement.

In fact, he originally thought that Pei Zheng would also choose the people he brought. Even if those attendants were shot by him, there would be no problem, but if they hurt other people, it might be a little troublesome.

Pei Zheng walked up to Shen Jiujiu, took his hand, and led him to stand by the opposite wall.

The mood of the surrounding crowd was also mobilized by the tense atmosphere, and they were all waiting for more exciting competitions.

The tall back almost completely blocked the small body, but Pei Zheng knew that everyone in the audience was staring at them intently.

Chen Huan was a little worried at first, but when she glanced at the two calm-faced people beside her, she instantly felt that her worry must be superfluous again.

As for Shen Jiujiu, who was standing against the wall, he could only see Pei Zheng in front of him, and he would do whatever Pei Zheng asked him to do.

"Can you stand up?"

Shen Jiujiu pressed his back against the wall and straightened his legs, proving that he could stand firmly.

"Can" has a soft voice.

"Then be good, don't move, okay?"

"it is good"

Shen Jiujiu really stood still against the wall, and even looked at Pei Zheng without blinking.

Pei Zheng smiled, squeezed his fingers, "So cute."

The person next to him brought the lantern over and put it on top of Shen Jiujiu's head, letting him hold it.

And Shen Jiujiu was like a wooden man the whole time, without moving a bit, but in fact his little head was still dizzy.

Seeing that Pei Zheng's side was ready, the rich man took a few deep breaths, and had the gong beater stand against the wall, and forced the lantern to stand on his head.

The gong knocker was very frightened, and kept hitting the sieve with his legs.

Pei Zheng and the rich young man stood still in the center of the field, raised their bows together, and struck the string with the arrow.

The lantern is much smaller than the target just now, if it is not for good archery skills, it is very likely that people will die.

In fact, the rich young man didn't have much confidence in his heart. His hand holding the bow was shaking a little, and he wanted to look sideways at Pei Zheng.

As a result, I saw a feathered arrow shot out, flying towards the head of the little man standing by the wall.

Some timid people around directly covered their eyes, afraid of seeing some bloody scenes.

When Shen Jiu saw an arrow flying towards his face, he also closed his eyes tightly in fear.

With a sound of "咻", the arrow passed through the lantern above his head and directly nailed the lantern to the wall.

Shen Jiu slowly opened his eyes and heard the applause from the crowd. Then he felt his legs go limp, and he almost knelt on the ground.

The hand of the rich man holding the arrow trembled even more.

"Hey, it's your turn, why are you pretending to be stupid?"

It was Shen Huan's loud voice that howled in the crowd, and at that moment other people also started to shout.

"That's right, it's your turn to shoot arrows, why don't you move?"

"Isn't it because I'm afraid, tsk tsk tsk..."

"I think it's because I'm afraid, my skills are not as good as people's, and I like to make troubles..."

The young man of the rich family was forced to panic, and the arrow flew out as soon as he let go of his hand. Unfortunately, it was too far away, and he was several meters away from the gong knocker.

His face became extremely ugly, and the people around him were either booing him or applauding Pei Zheng.

He felt that he had lost face, and in a panic, he wanted to run away, but he ran to the place where Chengfeng and the others were standing.

Cheng Feng waved his long sword, blocking the rich man's way.

"If you lose, do you want to leave?"

Then Chengfeng carried the rich young man and carried him to the wall to stand.

Shen Jiujiu, who was standing there, had already been led by Pei Zheng and sent back to Shen Huan.

Holding the bow, Pei Zheng walked slowly to the place where the arrows were released, and picked up five of them.

Chengfeng had already seen what his master wanted to do, so he held his sword and stared at the rich young man, if he dared to run, Chengfeng would dare to cut directly at him.Pei Zheng stood directly opposite the rich young man, and the arrow in his hand was aimed at him.

That rich man's face was already ashen. He regretted provoking these people. Why is he so blind? These people are not ordinary people!

It's a pity that it's too late to regret it now, and I have already been targeted as a target.

There was only a sound of "咻", an arrow flew out, brushed the arm of the man by the wall, and nailed his sleeve to the wall.

The arm must have been bruised, and it was burning with pain.

Pei Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly, and then fired three arrows with three sounds of "咻咻咻". The three arrows brushed the other arm and leg of the rich man and nailed his clothes to the wall.

There is another arrow, where should we aim it?

The arrow body slightly aimed between the legs.

Seeing Pei Zheng's intentions, the rich man cried out in fright, and a stream of heat flowed down his trousers to the ground.

With a sound of "咻", the arrow body did not touch the body, but hit the robe between the legs, but if it was a little bit off...

Pei Zheng dropped the bow in his hand, turned and walked towards the crowd.

Chengfeng followed suit.

The rich young master's attendant suddenly rushed out from the other side, crying and shouting to check on his own young master, and saved him from the wall with great effort.

The surrounding crowd kept applauding Pei Zheng and made room for them.

Shen Huan also clapped his hands and sighed, "Lord Pei, you are really wise and powerful, with a thousand talents!"

The gong beater ran over to give Pei Zheng the five taels of silver as a reward.

Li Yu directly blocked it and went back, "Let's treat the wounded one."

Shen Huan glanced at him, and began to sigh again, "Sure enough, the demeanor of a big mansion is really admirable!"

Li Yu didn't speak, she changed her face several times a day, who knew what was going on in her heart.

Pei Zheng didn't pay attention to what the people behind were saying. He looked down at the little man standing obediently in front of him, and asked in a low voice, "Are you injured?"

"No," Shen Nineteen replied in a drawn-out tone.

"Are you afraid just now?"

Shen Nineteen pursed his mouth, "I'm a little scared"

"But I trust my lord"

As Shen Jiu said, he grabbed Pei Zheng's hand tightly, blinked his eyes, and actively stuffed his fingers into his.

Pei Zheng was coaxed by his actions, and his heart was sweet for a while. After being drunk, the little man became more courageous and took the initiative. He always likes to speak softly, not knowing how cute he is , It makes people want to hug him and rub him hard.

If it weren't for so many people on the street now...

"Let's go." Pei Zheng's voice was hoarse.

"it is good"

The two stepped forward, and the three behind them also followed.

There were more and more people on the street, shoulders were almost touching shoulders, and the five people couldn't stay close together all the time, and they would always be scattered by people who rushed over suddenly.

Most of the people are walking towards the river, where there will be fireworks, and you can also put river lanterns on the river to make a wish.

Pei Zheng pulled Shen Jiujiu to protect him, preventing others from touching him.

Not far away was an arch bridge, and the flow of people brought Pei Zheng and Shen Jiujiu onto the bridge, but Shen Huan, Li Yu, and Chengfeng were squeezed out of the entrance of the bridge, and continued to walk forward instead.

When Pei Zheng and Shen Jiu stood on the bridge, Li Yu turned around and saw the two of them. He shouted desperately, "Master! Mr. Shen!"

Shen Huan also shouted together, apprentice!apprentice!

But the flow of people is still moving forward, and the distance between them is getting farther and farther.

"Stop shouting, they can't hear you." Cheng Feng said.

"Then what to do! One of them is injured, the other is drunk and stupid! What if something happens!" Shen Huan was very anxious, she was very worried about the safety of the young apprentice.

"The other hidden guards have followed and will protect them. Let's go around and look for them from the front now."

Shen Huan nodded, that's all he could do.

And Pei Zheng, who had already crossed the bridge, also found that the two were separated from the other three, and he held Shen Jiujiu's hand tightly again.

Shen Jiujiu was squeezed in front of Pei Zheng by the people behind him, and his small head rested on Pei Zheng's chest, just touching Pei Zheng's wound, causing Pei Zheng to groan softly.

Shen Jiujiu heard it, and hurriedly raised his head, "My lord...I'm sorry...Did I hurt you..."

He suddenly lifted his mask, revealing the lower half of his face, and leaned against Pei Zheng's chest, pursing his lips and blowing a few breaths into his robe.

"I'll help you...it won't hurt..."
