after being kidnapped by the general

This cannot be blamed on Wu Kai.

An archer needs to use countless arrows to practice, and he needs to pile up financial resources to develop good accuracy and arm strength.

Wu Kai's background is not good, he doesn't even know the words, how can he practice bow and arrow since he was a child?

Even if he exhausted all his strength, archery is more than just strength.

Yuan Li didn't blame him, "It's nothing, get up."

After defeating Wu Kai, the Karasuma man's momentum was greatly improved.Zuo Sang still felt that it was not enough, so he looked at Wang Er again, "This is also a military officer under Lord Inspector, why don't you come up and compete with our Karasuma warrior?"

Wang Er gritted his teeth, wondering if he should apply. Like Wu Kai, he came from a poor family. Although he has been training archery and riding for the past year, he is no match for Tamuda. Lost ending.

Yuanli's subordinates looked at each other in blank dismay.

Among these people, only Zhan Shaoning has the best archery skills.Zhan Shaoning's face was solemn, and he was about to get up instead of Wang Er. He regretted once again that he used to be lazy every time he practiced martial arts under the care of his father and brother.

If I had worked harder before...

"Why don't you move?" Zuo Sang said loudly, "Isn't it true that a majestic governor of Youzhou doesn't have a warrior under his command who can fight us?"

Yuan Dan, who was sitting in the middle, flushed with anger, turned around and said through his teeth, "Brother, I'm so angry."

Yuan Lou was also very angry, and said with difficulty, "Steady."

On the opposite side, He Lang cursed in a low voice, "They're just bullying people!"

The general led them to the scene, and the Karasuma people dared to be so arrogant.Wouldn't it be even more defiant if they weren't there?

The hateful thing is that the Karasuma people have never dealt with them very well.Without a reasonable excuse, they could not use force against the Karasuma people, otherwise it would be difficult to explain to the court.What's even more frustrating is that after five years of recuperation after moving to Youzhou, the five tribes of the Karasuma people can make up about 20 people.

20, there is no way to play now.

But they can't let them down the prestige of the governor in Yuanli so much.

The anger in Chu Hechao's heart became more and more intense, and his face became colder and colder.Yang Zhongfa was startled when he caught a glimpse of his expression from the corner of his eye, why does the general look like his wife being bullied?

Chu Hechao was about to yell at Karasuma to interrupt Karasuma's arrogance, but Yuan Li spoke first, "Among all of you personal soldiers, is this strong man the most powerful?"

Zuo Sang said complacently, "Tamuta is just a little outstanding."

Yuan Li frowned, and asked curiously: "Then how is he better than you Karasuma-sama?"

Zuo Sang subconsciously said: "Naturally, Master Karasuma is stronger."

Dadan also took it for granted: "These personal soldiers are no match for our abilities. If we don't play in person, we are no longer bullying you."

Yuan Li smiled, and said: "Then please invite everyone Karasuma-sama to play in person."

Another Karasuma-sama said displeasedly: "As I am, how can I compete with the little military officer under your command?"

"Hahahaha, my lords have misunderstood." Yuanli slowly stood up holding the table, walked down from behind the desk, took the bow and arrow handed over by the servant, and looked at Karasuma calmly. Comparing with my subordinates? That is naturally comparing with me."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Gu Lichi regretfully, "I've heard that the leader of Karasuma, Gu Lichi, is the most powerful in riding and shooting. It's a pity that I can't ask for advice today, so I can see your heroic appearance."

Yang Zhongfa and the others almost couldn't hold back their laughter.

These words are too piercing to the heart.

The leader was insulted, how could several Karasuma-samas respond.Zuo Sang stood up directly, walked to Yuanli with a dark face, and snatched the bow and arrow from Tamuta's hand, "Then let me meet you, without the leader taking action, I will come and let you see us well. Maruto's heroic figure!"

Gu Lichi didn't stop Zuo Sang, he said with a sneer, "If the governor of Youzhou loses to our own soldiers, if the news spreads, I'm afraid it will make you feel ashamed. Master Karasuma who loses to us will look better after all. Zuo Sang, You have to save face for the governor."

Zuo Sang said sadly: "Of course I will give way to Lord Inspector."

Seeing this scene, Zhan Shaoning hurriedly asked Liu Ji in a low voice if Xin Yuanli's archery skills were good.

Zhan Shaoning has never seen Yuanli shoot an arrow with his own eyes, but he has heard that Yuanli shot through Yang with an arrow and killed the leader of Baimizhong.But since that time, he has never heard anything else about Yuanli's good archery skills, so it seems that the previous rumor is very much like an exaggerated rumor, and it is used to create momentum for Yuanli.

The two brothers Yuanlou and Yuandan on the side were relieved instead.

Except for Chu Hechao and the two brothers of the Yuan family, almost no one had seen Yuanli shoot an arrow.

Just looking at Yuan Li standing with Zuo Sang, who looked extraordinarily refined and polite, they felt a little anxious.

This kind of anxiety was seen by Karasuma, and Gu Lichi's smile deepened, thinking that this just represented Yuanli's sternness and inwardness.

Zuo Sang was more confident in his heart, and he even suggested: "It's not difficult to shoot these ten arrows in one go. How about I take turns shooting all ten arrows?"

In the archery competition, it is better to shoot the arrow in one breath, and it is easier to find the feeling and state of archery.But if you shoot the arrow one after another, if the opponent shoots well, it will only cause a huge burden on yourself. Originally, you can have eight points of skill, but it is considered good if you can play five points in the end.

Yuan Li suddenly smiled, "Okay. But since the adults want it to be more difficult, let's make it more difficult."

He turned his head and said to the servant indifferently: "Go and move the target back twenty feet."

The servant obeyed and moved the target back twenty feet, about 50 meters.

Yuan Li looked at Zuo Sang whose face became a little stiff, "Zuo Sang, this equidistance is not difficult for you, is it?"

Zuo Sang took a deep breath and said, "It's not difficult for me, but it's not necessarily difficult for Lord Inspector."

He is old, and his eyes are no longer as sharp as when he was young.Although Zuo Sang was a little unsure about such a distance, it was not impossible to shoot.

He intentionally let Yuanli start first, and after Yuanli missed the shot, there was no pressure for him to attack later.

Zuo Sang thought about it in his heart, and said confidently: "Lord Inspector, please go ahead."

Yuan Li didn't refuse, he stood in his position, drew his bow and aimed at the target, but after aiming for a while, he suddenly retracted the bow and arrow.

Zuo Sang couldn't help laughing, "Master Inspector, are you scared?"

"For the sake of Mr. Inspector's youth and ignorance, it is not impossible to move this target back another twenty feet."

Yuan Li didn't seem to hear, and said again: "Come here, move the target back ten feet."

The people watching on both sides let out small exclamations.

Everyone in Karasuma wonders if Yuanli is crazy.

The range of the bow and arrow in the Northern Zhou Dynasty was within 50 meters to 100 meters.The twenty feet moved back and forth plus the previous distance, this is already almost 100 meters.Move back ten feet, which is more than 120 meters.

If Gu Lichi's arm hadn't been broken, he should be able to do this, and Chu Hechao could do it too.But one of them is the eagle of the Karasuma people, who bloodbathed the grassland and ruled the leader of all Karasuma tribes, and the other is the god of war who has been fighting with swords and swords on the battlefield since he was young, and has led many famous battles in the world.

There are only a few people in the world who are the proud of heaven can do this. How can Yuan Li, a governor who doesn't look strong but gentle like a gentleman, be able to do this?

Karasuma didn't believe that Yuanli could do this.But Chu Hechao stood up himself and moved the target back ten feet, "Is this enough?"

This time, Yuanli was finally satisfied.The small bow was also replaced with a large bow. Under the suspicious eyes of all the Karasuma people, Yuan Li calmly drew the bow and pointed it at the target.

Bow full, shoot out.

A sharp sound of piercing through the air suddenly sounded, and the arrow shot at the target with full force, and hit the bull's-eye precisely in the eyes of everyone who couldn't believe it.

There was silence.

Yuan Li withdrew his bow and arrow, and aimed at Zuo Sang. He was obviously not as strong as Zuo Sang, but his aura was awe-inspiring and upright, full of oppression, "Zuo Sang, it's your turn."

Zuo Sang felt Wu Kai's previous panic at this moment.

But he had to start.

Zuo Sang took a deep breath, and when he raised his hand, he found that his hand was shaking.He instinctively felt fear, and felt that he couldn't hit the bull's-eye, and once such a thought appeared, it meant that he was about to lose.

Zuo Sang tried his best to suppress his feelings, trying to shoot the arrow well.

But he couldn't help thinking, what if I really miss the shot?

Losing to a kid who just became crowned, how does this make him deal with himself?

The arrow finally shot out while he was restless. Zuo Sang held his breath and looked at it with hope, but it ended in disappointment. His arrow, let alone hit the target, fell before reaching the target. on the ground.

Gu Lichi's eyes suddenly turned cold.

Dadan and the others looked dignified, felt that Zuo Sang was ashamed, and rejoiced that they were not the one who was ashamed at this moment.

They scolded Zuo Sang in their hearts for being incompetent, but none of them thought of going up to replace Zuo Sang.

Yuan Li laughed, stepped forward again and shot the second arrow.This arrow reproduced the demeanor of the last time, and it was nailed into the bull's-eye like a gust of wind.

Even if someone comforted himself that the last arrow in Yuanli was just a coincidence, he would be speechless.

Wu Kai and Wang Er were engrossed in watching, their eyes seemed to shine.They knew it would be like this, the lord is capable of both literature and martial arts, and the Karasuma people will never be able to defeat the lord.

There was endless applause and applause. These two arrows completely made the people feel relieved.

When it was Zuo Sang's turn to shoot again, Zuo Sang forcibly calmed down. This time he finally hit the target, but only the outer ring.

After shooting, Zuo Sang didn't dare to look at Gu Lichi's face.

After shooting three times in a row, Yuanli hit the bull's-eye every time, but Zuo Sang got worse each time.After the fourth arrow hit the bull's-eye again, Yuan Li put down the bow and arrow, put his hands behind his back, and asked with a smile: "There is no need to continue this competition."

There is no need to continue, anyone can see Yuanli's strength, and Zuo Sang is no match for him.

Zuo Sang put down his bow and arrow with a face full of ashes, bowed to Yuan Li, and returned to his seat in a state of dismay.

The remaining Karasuma people looked at each other in blank dismay, and no one dared to make a provocative voice.

After a moment of silence, Gu Lichi patted his thigh with his right hand and applauded Yuanli, "Master Inspector, a young hero, should be a role model for young people in the world."

Yuan Li returned to his seat and sat down, modestly said: "You are flattering me. I have countless talents in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and I am just the most ordinary one among them. I really can't bear such praise."

Zhou Gongdan couldn't hold back a smile, raised his sleeve to block it, and said to Zheng Rong: "Your Excellency is really narrow-minded, such words are very annoying."

Isn't this just mocking Karasuma's lack of talent and lack of knowledge?Any elite from the Northern Zhou Dynasty can beat their Karasuma-sama to the ground.

Zheng Rong couldn't help laughing, "Although I'm cramped, I feel happy listening to it."

No one knew that Yuanli on the stage was trembling slightly with his arms hanging down his sleeves.

This trembling was uncontrollable, a sequela of exhaustion.When shooting arrows, the distance is too far, the bow is too heavy, and being able to shoot four arrows is already the result of Yuan Li gritted his teeth and persisted.

If Zuo Sang is not restrained, if Zuo Sang or others want to compete with Yuan Li again, Yuan Li will reveal the fact that he is exhausted.

Fortunately.

Yuanli was very happy.

Fortunately, they were restrained.

Gu Li Chi Hun didn't care, raised his hand and raised his glass to Yuan Li, "Lord Inspector is humble."

After speaking, he drank his glass.Yuan Li also raised his sleeves to cover his trembling hands, and finished drinking the wine in his glass.

After drinking this cup, Gu Lichi smacked his lips, "Good wine."

The servant stepped forward to fill him another glass of wine, Gu Li Chi tasted the wine, and suddenly said with great interest: "My lord also knows that it hasn't rained in Youzhou for half a month, right?"

Yuanli nodded.

Guli Equator: "It's a strange day in Youzhou. It's clearly the rainy season in spring, but it hasn't rained for half a month. The water in the river is getting lower and lower, our people and animals are thirsty every day, and the grass on the grassland is dry. The nourishment of the rain will not grow. If this continues for a long time, I am afraid that there will be a severe drought, and we Karasuma people and the people of Youzhou will starve to death and die of thirst."

Yuanli knew that he had something to say, and he felt that it was not a good thing.

Sure enough, Gu Lichi put down his wine glass, turned his head to look at Yuanli with malicious intentions, and pretended to be surprised: "It's a coincidence, since your lord took charge of the governor of Youzhou, it hasn't rained in Youzhou. A few years ago But there has never been such a thing, could it be that God is dissatisfied with the governor of Youzhou, so he punished him?"

As soon as these words came out, Liu Jixin immediately stood up and said sharply: "Nonsense words, Yi and Bing states also have no rain for a month, is it also because God is dissatisfied with the governors of these two states?!"

"Extremely ridiculous!" Zhan Shaoning also got up and snorted coldly, "My lord's words are really a crime of imposition."

"Then how do you explain that the rain in Youzhou will stop as soon as Lord Inspector takes office?" Gu Lichi said unhurriedly, "I am puzzled by this point. I think the people of Youzhou should also be concerned about this. Worry about it."

Smart people don't believe such nonsense, but for Qianshou who is deeply involved in farming, such words will convince them.

They have not read books, but they know that the power of kings is granted by God, and that God will choose wise kings, and also punish the rulers for their bad morals.

Chu Hechao got up suddenly, walked to Gu Lichi's body, bent over, covered in shadows, and said in a low voice, "Gu Lichi, you should be thankful that it doesn't rain."

As he spoke, he straightened up slowly, looked down at Gu Lichi, and smiled, "After all, your left shoulder hurts for a long time every rainy day."

Gu Lichi's face sank, and he said bitterly: "Thank you, Chu Hechao."

"If you don't want your other arm to hurt on rainy days," Chu Hechao said, "then shut your mouth."

The relationship between the two seemed to be on the verge of breaking out. Karasuma stared closely at Chu Hechao, and Chu Hechao's subordinates and personal soldiers also grasped the handle of the knife at their waists.

When the two sides were confronting each other, Yuan Li suddenly stood up and clapped his hands, "Come on!"

Lin Tian hurried forward, "Master?"

Yuanli spoke quickly and authentically: "Take someone to move the dishes on the table under the cloth, and it will be ready within a quarter of an hour!"

Lin Tian didn't even ask, and immediately said, "Yes."

He immediately took the servants and began to move the table, wine and food under the cloth cloth beside him.

Yuan Li said to his subordinates again: "Move to Bu Peng as soon as possible."

His actions interrupted the confrontation between the two sides, and Yang Zhongfa asked suspiciously: "My lord, what's the matter?"

"General, Mr. Yang. Hurry up and take shelter from the rain," Yuan Li said solemnly, "In about a quarter of an hour, it will rain heavily."

Yang Zhongfa immediately looked up to the sky, and there were several people who made the same movement as him.

It was dark, without wind or cloud.The yellow sand on the ground was dry, and the heat was so hot that the skin was covered with sweat.

How could it rain suddenly in such weather?

Why is Yuanli so sure that it will rain in a quarter of an hour?

Karasuma, who also watched the weather, sneered, "How can it rain in this kind of weather?"

"I'm afraid that after hearing what the leader said, Mr. Inspector became frightened and started talking nonsense, right? It hasn't rained in Youzhou for half a month. Will it rain if you say it will rain? Are you sure it will rain in a quarter of an hour? Yu, even the gods would not dare to say such big words!"

They burst out laughing, and Gu Lichi couldn't hold back his laughter, "Master Inspector is just interesting, very interesting. I don't need to move my table and meals, I just wait here for the heavy rain that Lord Inspector said."

He Lang also didn't think it was going to rain, so he subconsciously looked at Chu Hechao.Seeing Chu Hechao turn around neatly and walk under the cloth, "Move."

"Yes!"

Everyone was busy, and before a quarter of an hour arrived, everyone except Karasuma had moved under the cloth.At this time, everyone was no longer in the mood to eat and drink. They stood under the cloth and looked at the still dull and windless weather outside, feeling worried and anxious.

They were naturally looking forward to the rain, but for a quarter of an hour... Could it really be raining in such a short period of time?

Those alchemists who claimed to be able to visit immortals and make alchemy did not dare to say such things.

In the open space, only Karasuma people sat by the campfire, leisurely looking at the people under the cloth.

They laughed at the stupidity of these Northern Zhou people in their hearts, and actually listened to Yuanli's words and entered Bupeng.If it hadn't rained, wouldn't it be shameless.

"How could it be such a coincidence, when it rains, it rains."

"This group of people actually believed it seriously. Do they think Lord Yuan Le is the reincarnation of a god?"

They didn't lower their voices, they just laughed at Yuan Li's words that it would rain in a quarter of an hour.

Soon, a quarter of an hour passed.

Almost as soon as the time was up, Dadan couldn't wait to say: "Master Inspector, what do you mean by heavy rain? Why didn't I see a single drop of rain?"

Yuanli stood under the cloth, raised his eyelids, his eyes were dark, "Don't worry, the heavy rain is coming soon. Dadan, I advise you to talk less, if you continue to be disrespectful, maybe there will be thunder on you."

He paused every word with inexplicable determination.

Dadan thought it was extremely funny, and didn't take it seriously, and was about to say it again, but suddenly there was a strong wind in the sky and dark clouds covered it.

A loud thunder exploded in the sky, and a huge lightning flashed over Dadan's head in an uproar.

The bonfire was blown almost toppled over, and under the lightning, the stunned expressions on everyone's faces were clearly illuminated.

Dadan felt cold all over, and looked towards Yuanli in disbelief.

A bean-sized raindrop fell from the sky, fell into the yellow mud, and was sucked away by the water-deficient land in an instant.The next moment, it rained cats and dogs, catching everyone by surprise.

The rain was heavy, the bonfire was extinguished, and Bu Peng was beaten crookedly.

It's raining!

It's really raining!

Liu Jixin was almost ecstatic, he stretched out his trembling hand, "It's raining... My lord is right, it's really raining..."

Zhou Gongdan stared at this scene in a daze, goosebumps ran all over his body unconsciously, he gave a jerk, and turned his head to look at Yuanli.

At the same time looking at Yuanli, there were Karasuma who was extremely embarrassed in the rain and everyone under the cloth.

The young Lord Inspector had a calm face, his sleeves and robes were blown flying by the wind.

He seemed perfectly at ease.

A terrible thought rose in everyone's mind at the same time.

He really... Really expected this rainstorm.
