I heard you want to let me down

Rong Jin looked at the sky: "It's late at night, why don't we make an appointment?"

But the big man sneered: "Why? Don't you go to war at night, don't you ride horses and shoot arrows? Then Mr. Rong, what you learned is just for fun."

He made provocative words many times, and Rong Jin also turned cold: "If that's the case, then please."

The relatively dangerous and accident-prone activities of archery competition can't be held in palace banquets. There are crowds in these three or five steps. If someone is not careful, or deliberately misses the shot, one or two high-ranking officials will be shot to death. .

There is a special training field in the palace, the field is empty, and there are high platforms around it, so that the audience can see the situation in the middle, and it is very safe.Archery, horse racing, or polo competitions are sometimes held in the palace here.Although none of them were held at night, the palace people were well-trained, but after a while, lamps, tables, tea, cakes and even drinks were all available, and the high platform was arranged comfortably. The removed dishes and tableware are no different from the palace banquet just now.

On the enclosed open sand field, the palace people also moved huge copper lamps and lit bright flames to ensure that everyone could clearly see the movement between the fields.

Both of them have their usual bows and arrows, and they sent someone to fetch them, but they haven't come back yet, so they are still sitting on the stage.The palace people came to ask about the target's arrangement.

The big man looked at Rong Jin: "How far do we start?"

"What's the point of shooting a target? Who can't shoot a dead target." Rong Jin sneered, "I guess Guishi still has this ability. Are we going to shoot round after round, and who's eyes will go blind first?" ?”

Thinking about it, the big man also felt that it made sense. After all, Rong Jin was from the Rong family, so he definitely knew a little bit.If you keep shooting like this, even if you beat Rong Jin, you still feel unhappy: "Then let's shoot living things, how about we shoot more than anyone else with ten arrows."

The difficulty of shooting living animals is much higher, and after all, the sight is not so good at night, the winner will definitely be decided faster.Maybe, a son like Rong Jin who only hunts and catches bows in the daytime, and shoots those small animals whose legs were shot by his subordinates in advance, can't even shoot a single one.

"It's New Year's Eve, I said it's not suitable to see blood." Rong Jin thought for a while, "A few days ago, I saw someone setting up a stall on the street, hanging up copper plates with hemp rope, and letting people shoot them with bows and arrows. , if the arrow can pass through the square hole in the middle of the copper plate, and the copper plate is nailed to the back plate, there will be a reward. Why don’t we shoot the copper plate too.”

I've never heard of this game, so it's not a scam.The big man thought for a while, but he didn't think there would be anything tricky, so he agreed: "Okay, let's go around the field on horseback. Every time we reach the copper plate, we will draw the bow and shoot arrows. The horse is not allowed to stop during the period. After ten laps, we will stop. Count the number of arrows hit by both sides. The side with the most number wins."

At this time, the people sent to fetch bows and arrows came back one after another.

Rong Jin took his own bow and walked towards the edge of the high platform, and stopped in front of Gu Nian's desk halfway, with a pair of peach blossom eyes and a smile: "Does Ah Nian have any copper coins?"

Gu Nian touched the cuff subconsciously, it was empty.He changed his dress to attend the palace banquet, why did he carry a money bag?Just as Gu Nian was about to shake his head, he remembered something, and then took something from his waist.Around his waist was a string woven with five-color silk threads, among which were strung all kinds of small objects, jade beads, copper plates...

This is the custom of the Chen Kingdom during the Chinese New Year. It is said that wearing it on the waist can ward off evil and prevent evil, and prevent all diseases from invading.Gu Nian took off the copper plate on it and handed it to Rong Jin.

Rong Jin took it and stuffed it into his chest casually: "Thank you, Anian."

The big man stopped aside and waited for Rong Jin: "Is there anything special about this?"

With a copper plate on your body, can you shoot at the copper plate better?

Rong Jin raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "The amulet. My sweetheart keeps me invincible, and I am invincible in a hundred battles."

Big man: "..."

He couldn't take it anymore, and went down the stage angrily.

Rong Jin was about to leave, Gu Nian tugged Rong Jin's sleeve: "Wait a minute."

Rong Jin turned around, thinking there was something wrong with Gu Nian, Gu Nian took the leather finger wrench tied to his bow and arrow, and tied it to his right thumb for him.Gu Nian lowered his head, Rong Jin couldn't see his expression, but could feel the ease and worry in his movements.

Rong Jin recalled that every time his father and brother went to the border, his mother and sister-in-law would arrange their armor, and his brows and eyes suddenly became gentle: "I'm going."

Rong Hui, as Rong Jin's elder brother, is also a well-known young general of the Shao Kingdom. On such an occasion, the seat was naturally changed to the emperor's side. Firstly, he came to escort him, and secondly, he was able to explain the situation on the field to the emperor at any time.

The emperor felt a toothache from the two of them. Seeing that the precious girl was looking at Rong Jin intently, he asked Rong Hui in a very low voice: "Is this kid serious?"

Rong Hui thought to himself, since he decided to be together, he would report to His Majesty sooner or later, so as not to be charged with the crime of deceiving the emperor, so he said in a lower voice: "Love grows with time, fake plays come true."

Seeing that Rong Hui knew about it, the whole Rong family must have known about it, and was surprised: "Can Youqing tolerate him?"

Who can bear to have his son cut off his sleeve?It's one thing to pretend, and it's okay to play around, but you're serious about not marrying a wife?The emperor wants to break his legs, okay?

Rong Hui pondered for a while, and the emperor clearly saw the words "Unspeakable Concealment" from the face of this reliable and dignified young general.Rong Hui was a little embarrassed: "The mother of this minister has always loved the youngest son."

The emperor understood.Youqing is good at everything, but she is a little afraid of his wife.In fact, his wife has the final say in his family.

The emperor's face darkened: "It's just nonsense! What do women know? How can we let him do it, cut off the incense!"

His voice was a bit loud, Seventh Princess turned her head and asked curiously, "Father, what are you talking about?"

The emperor immediately smiled with a loving father: "Father didn't say anything. He was just telling Rong Hui that shooting copper coins sounds very difficult. I wonder if Rong Jin can do it?"

The seventh princess gave the emperor a gentle look: "Brother Rong Jin, of course."

The emperor laughed bitterly: "Yes, yes, in your eyes, there is probably nothing he can't do."

"It was."

You bastard Rong Jin!Let's cut off the sleeves!Why on earth does my precious girl like him so much? !

The two horses had already been led into the arena by the palace people.This horse came from Shao Kingdom's palace, in order to avoid suspicion, Rong Jin asked the big man to pick it first.

The big man checked carefully, and both were first-class BMWs.Shao Guo should not play such dirty tricks in full view.

Seeing Rong Jin get on the horse, the big man's eyes became more serious.Just by looking at this posture, one can tell that he is a veteran on horseback.Besides, what Rong Jin is holding in his hand is said to be the bow he is used to in daily life, and that bow is not light.

It seems that the youngest son of the Rong family who broke his sleeve is not as mediocre as his reputation spread.That's right, it's the Rong family after all.

The palace people used fireworks as a sign, and the huge red fireworks exploded in the air, temporarily reflecting the red light on the ground.Everyone's vision was blurred for a while, and when they came back to their senses and looked again, the two horses had already rushed out!

Regarding the decency and dignity of the country, all the ministers and princes above couldn't care less about being reserved, and all looked down with burning eyes, and they didn't have the heart to chat.

The envoys of the Kingdom of Wei were indeed old gods. Seeing someone looking over, the leader smiled honestly: "Our general Wu was promoted step by step from the small soldiers on the battlefield. He is a famous strongman in the country. , Riding archer. Wu Yi is a good player, but his temper is too impulsive, and he doesn't know the rules. This New Year's Eve has disturbed your country's palace banquet and ruined your country's prosperity. I am really sorry."

The official who looked at him was also an old fox, and smiled pretendingly: "It's a disappointment. Your country has come from a long way, so we naturally have to treat each other with courtesy. It's just a competition. I'm afraid that A Jin will play I'm used to making trouble, and it doesn't matter how serious it is to start, which makes the noble envoy feel bad."

The emperor sat on the high platform and looked down through the binoculars. Seeing that Rong Jin's horse was half behind, he was a little anxious: "Is he good?"

Rong Hui was very calm, he rejected the telescope sent by the palace man, and was slowly drinking tea: "Don't worry, Your Majesty."

Seeing his confident look, the emperor said, "You have confidence in your brother."

There was a little smile on the corner of Rong Hui's mouth: "Ah Jin was not in good health when she was young, and she would act like a spoiled child, relying on her mother's pampering and partiality, she always skipped training. But the son of the Rong family has to learn some skills. Father can't help it. I had to choose the ones he likes to teach. Those close combat skills are practiced loosely and sparsely, only riding and shooting, which Ajin is interested in and has been learning."

"Ah Jin loves to play, but also loves to be lazy. He usually competes with his buddies in Beijing and refuses to do his best. In fact, he is very talented. Among the three of us, he is the best in riding and shooting."

Seeing that the emperor still had some disbelief, Rong Hui approached and said in a low voice: "The stall Ah Jin saw a few days ago, he shot out all the copper coins..."

emperor:"……"

The emperor wanted to laugh, but at the same time hated that iron could not be made into steel: "Even this small advantage will be taken!"

The artisans who set up stalls outside all come out to make a living.Shooting copper coins in the downtown area, with such difficulty, the lottery is just for show, who would have thought that someone could actually take the lottery away.Why does Rong Jin even want to take advantage of this little advantage?

Rong Hui smiled at the corner of his mouth: "I heard that the best lottery head is a pair of raw jade. The quality of the jade is very ordinary. The beauty is that it is a pair of Pisces when it is uncut."

The emperor's smile slowly fell, a bit disapproving.He sincerely regards Rong Jin as his nephew: "It's only natural to reconcile yin and yang, and the relationship between men is not right after all. Ah Jin is still too young, and young love is strong, so it's a lifetime. How can I know that it won't happen in the future?" Change your mind?"

Rong Hui whispered: "Your Majesty, Ah Jin was favored at home, and you protected him when he entered the palace. Bai grew up so big, he never experienced any hardship, and grew into a naive and innocent temper. At first, the minister The family was also unwilling, but Ah Jin was very stubborn. He obeyed His Majesty's order, and behaved intimately with His Highness of Chen Kingdom, facing each other every day, so naturally he gradually fell in love with him."

The implication is, Your Majesty, you were the one who asked A Jin to approach Gu Nian in the first place.

The emperor choked, and secretly glanced at his precious girl who was concentrating on watching the audience: "Okay, okay, there is such a reason. But it can't be all due to me. Before I said anything, he did it for me. That Gu Nian got into a fight!"

"That's right! Back in the day, I even secretly drew portraits of other people in class!"

Maybe this will of mine is exactly what he wanted, and he pushed the boat along with the current, so he might be so happy in his heart!

Rong Hui flattered the emperor honestly: "It can be seen that your majesty's eyes are as bright as a torch. I said this rashly to ask for your majesty's favor. The highness of Chen country lives in Shao country. How long will it be with Ah Jin?"

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that Chen Guo will not take Gu Nian back.Rong Hui was actually afraid that the beloved concubine would end up in the throne, and after she had no scruples, she sent a letter to kill Gu Nian.

The emperor shook his head: "If Gu Nian is willing to stay in Shao for a long time, I will naturally welcome it."

After all, the emperor and Gu Nian have no enmity.The relationship between him and that younger sister is also very ordinary, but it is because of the same origin and mutual benefit and mutual assistance.She kicked out the threatening first prince, and Shao Guo helped her take care of one or two, that's all.As long as Gu Nian is safe and sound, the emperor of Shao country doesn't need to kill Gu Nian.

Rong Hui breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you, Your Majesty Long En."
