472, archery competition
Because time is tight, the Dan Tai family is very close to Furong, so they have no chance to meet Mr. Ning directly.
Xiaoxiao still asked Tang Lihuan to think of a way. At the end of the banquet, he arranged for Furong to meet the Tie Master, took out all the things he wanted to say and told the Tie Master, and asked him to convey it on his behalf.
Mr. Tie has great confidence in Mr. Ning: "Miss Dan Tai just worry, Mr. Ning will definitely handle this matter properly. Although he has never seen Meng Qi's archery technique, Mr. Ning's archery technique has been obtained from the true teachings of famous teachers since he was a child and will not lose the disadvantage."
The archery field is also divided into many circles. It is impossible for people like Mr. Tie to play with Meng Qi and the others.
Furong still worriedly said, "Then Meng Qi has been practicing arrows since she was a child. She used arrows to shoot my cat when she was a teenager."
"He shot your cat to death?" Mr. Tie was surprised by Meng Qi's resentment at a young age.
"The cat's legs were shot and the cat was frightened and refused to go home again. Maybe he died outside like that..." Furong said this and felt a little bit of teeth and a little bit of a sore nose: "It's a pure white Persian cat with blue and yellow eyes. Alas, this person is cruel and ruthless and has to be guarded."
"Please be at ease, my sister, I will convey all these words below. Mr. Ning will never let us down." Mr. Tie was full of confidence in him.
...
In half a month, Meng Jiuwei's hunting ground had been cleaned up, especially several difficult and unavoidable traps were laid inside, which even locked in the victory of this game.
Young Master Ning himself did not come to see the scene. Young Master Tie and Young Master Xiaobai made a special trip to bring the team members here several times, but because the workers were always repairing and renovating, they never saw it thoroughly.
Meng Jiu confirmed to Mr. Tie again: "The surname Ning is really ready to fight? What did he say?"
Mr. Tie said concisely: "He said: Go, go."
Meng Jiu was amused by this man's ignorance and fearlessness: "Ha, hehe... Then let's see the truth on the battlefield."
The business world has not been peaceful these days. Meng Qi was particularly upset. The court didn't know who took the lead, and suddenly began to thoroughly investigate the underground money house in Kyoto.
This thorough investigation is definitely not a false shot. The intensity of excavation makes the merchants frightened.
Meng Qi realized that the news was not right, so he could only quickly collect funds and closed the two large money houses. There were only a few small silver accounts left on the spot to maintain their business. Even so, the court still investigated the situation and the small silver accounts were also blocked.
Meng Qi was really scared this time. He looked for ways to make trouble, gave away a lot of money, and also climbed the vines to find some tricks. Finally, he searched all the way and touched the head of Eunuch Xia in the palace.
Meng Qi was also confused: Eunuch Xia is a celebrity around the emperor. What happened this time is the emperor's intention? If this is true, his money house will be extremely open within two or three years. In order to save his life, he has to give Eunuch Xia enough money.
For this time, the Meng family prepared hundreds of thousands of taels of silver notes, and there were countless house deeds and land deeds in prime locations in Kyoto.
Most of the vitality of the Meng family was damaged at once. Meng Qi married Furong's heart was not as strong as before, but he still had to participate in the hunting competition. After all, it was a game he called. If he escaped at the last moment, others would really think that the Meng family was about to finish.
Meng Qi was familiar with the battlefield himself and was very satisfied with the hunting arrangement this time. He said that Meng Jiu's trap design was a bit ruthless: "We don't plan to kill him, but just scare him and let him let go of those delusions earlier."
Meng Jiu nodded. At this time, the Meng family was at the forefront of the storm, so it would be better to cause less trouble. When talking about the person named Ning, Meng Jiu was a little disdainful. A small person like an ant needs to be dealt with with with such a big formation. How can I use a knives to kill a chicken?
The day of the competition is set on the day of the end of the summer heat, and the heat will disappear on this day. It means a bit bright and refreshing autumn, which is very suitable for horse riding and hunting.
At that time, the competition will be divided into two teams, each with ten people, horses and arrows, and the two teams are divided into black and red clothes, and use two black and red arrow feathers. In the specified time, shooting the team with more prey will be considered a victory.
Both teams were eager to try, and news of the game spread wildly, and more and more people were preparing to watch the game.
However, plans can never keep up with changes, who would have thought that drinking porridge would burn the back of the head.
——Early in the morning of the competition, the hunting ground was suddenly requisitioned by the Royal Family, saying that it was to be taken into part of the Royal Family Family.
There was no turmoil before, and the court did not write about it. It seemed that the emperor woke up and opened his eyes and had such a bad idea, so everyone had to follow suit.
It was so coincidental that people wanted to laugh, but at the critical moment of the upcoming competition, a large group of imperial guards came and surrounded the venue.
Everyone was crying and didn't even dare to tell a word.
All the people participating in the competition and those who watched the fun retreated outside the venue, and they felt like they wanted to have a hot pot and had no chopsticks - a large pot of steaming meat was cooked, but there was no tool to catch, so they could only swallow their saliva and dry it.
Just as everyone was swaying with the autumn wind, Young Master Ning came over on a horse and wore a specially prepared red battle suit.
Meng Jiu looked at Mr. Ning's ordinary horse, and he didn't even have the excitement of ridicule.
Young Master Ning looked at the venue surrounded by bright yellow cloth, got off the horse and asked Meng Qi: "Is there any comparison?"
Meng Qi pointed to the venue that was about to "disappear", a little speechless.
"Or why we can compete?" Young Master Ning looked at the remaining space. It was enough for two people to compete with arrows.
Meng Qi glanced at the onlookers and glanced at Young Master Ning with sharp eyes: "How can I compare the method?"
"It's okay to shoot a target, it's okay to shoot a living thing." Young Master Ning patted his horse and asked it to rest first.
Of course, Meng Qi cannot admit defeat, he will definitely win this game.
Someone was already yelling next to him: "Cum around the living creature! We have rabbits and chickens here!"
Indeed, in order to attract the beasts in the hunting ground, people specially prepared some small prey, which were now put in cages.
"Okay, sprinkle these living things out. In one stick of incense, it depends on who can shoot more." Meng Qi, dressed in black, took out his black arrow from the quiver behind him.
"A stick of incense lasts too long, so it's better to use ten arrows." Young Master Ning was wearing a cavalry suit with red war flags, facing Meng Qi's sharpness and orderly response.
One stick of incense is indeed too long. The venue is so small that you can't run away on horseback. You can only shoot prey in the form of infantry - sprinkle the rabbits, and one stick of incense is enough for them to scatter their nests and have children...
Meng Qi had already picked up the bow: "Okay, ten arrows determine the winner or lose."
The old archer was hosting this game, and the old rules were used: "Before the game, everyone has a stick of incense to get to know the venue."
Everyone couldn't help but laugh when they heard this: Do you think this is a hunting ground? Such a small piece of grass is clear at a glance, what's there to be familiar with?
The two participating in the competition did not argue, followed the old archer's decision and went to get familiar with the venue.
Meng Qichan took a short turn and came back. At this time, he stood there and moved his muscles and bones, holding a bow and arrow to get familiar with the feeling.
However, Young Master Ning walked a long circle along the field, and returned to the sidelines at the last moment, standing at both ends of the field with his bow and arrow and Meng Qi.
There were only ten arrows left in each person's archery bag. Although the venue in front of him was small, it was not small. Both of them stood facing north to avoid the sun. At the extension of this lawn, there was a small hill to the east and north, and a small river to the west.
Meng Qi stood in the west, which was considered a geographical advantage. After all, those panicked animals would only flee randomly. Once they fled to the west, they could no longer move forward. Meng Qi could only gain something if they were guarding the riverside.
Young Master Ning stood on the east side, holding on to the bow and arrow, standing with his eyes closed, as if he was resting his eyes.
Opening the cage and releasing the living creatures and drawing the bow and shooting the archery began at the same time. With the order of the old archer, several cages were opened together, and the rabbits ran away instantly, mixed with cooing and terrifying screams. - There were sixty or seventy of these living creatures, and the scene was very lively for a while.
The two of them set their bows at the same time, Meng Qixun shot two arrows in a row, each hitting a chicken; Young Master Ning shot two arrows at the same time, hitting a rabbit and a chicken.
The rules of the game are: shoot the rabbit and score five points, and shoot the chicken and score three points.
The rabbits and chickens began to flee around in panic, with no rules or rules at all. The Mengqi base was well and rushed to the river in a few steps, preparing to shoot the prey trapped by the river and rushed into the river for no time.
Just as Meng Qi pulled the bow, he suddenly felt a person beside him shot out like an arrow, but at this moment he didn't care about thinking too much and just focused on what he could do.
The audience on the sidelines burst into a higher amazement than the other. The fiery red shadow rushed into the field. It was no less than a war horse, and it could also draw a bow and shoot arrows while moving forward quickly. The arrow shot in a pattern: one arrow shot a rabbit from the east and one arrow shot a chicken from the west. The sharpness of the arrow formed two arrows, forcing these headless and brainless animals to escape in one direction.
The audience became less and less clear. Mr. Ning in red could achieve such a flash of running speed and shoot arrows while running. Why didn’t he take advantage of the situation and solve the problem with one arrow? Where did he drive these chaotic things?
Meng Qi has finished the battle in this room. It is impossible for ten arrows to be fully bombed. Two of them are shot in the air, and the spoils are five chickens and three rabbits.
This result is already quite good. In order to suppress the other party's momentum, the people on Mengqi made a loud cheering sound, but while cheering, they still looked at the fiery red shadow running towards the mountains with concern, wondering what the other party was selling in their gourd.
It was not until Mr. Ning in the distance that he waved to this side that the old archer took two apprentices to check it out. Naturally, a large number of perverts followed behind him to watch the fun.
It doesn't matter when it looks like this, everyone burst into a surprise: "Three eagles in one shot! All are three eagles in one shot!!!"
Each arrow with red arrow feathers penetrated through three preys! This scene surprised everyone present.
But when people saw the terrain clearly, they made even more admirable sounds.
But it turned out that when Mr. Ning was surveying the terrain, he noticed that there was a very deep horizontal gully in front of the hillside. The rabbit could not jump or the chicken could not fly. Once he was forced into the deep valley, it would be difficult to struggle to jump out again.
Therefore, Young Master Ning just staged a scene of driving away prey, forcing most of the prey into the gully in front of the mountain, which formed the effect of catching turtles in the jar. As long as you find the right position, you can penetrate three arrows with one arrow, and the arrows will not fall into nothing.
Young Master Ning had shot four of them before, and including the blocked in the deep valley, there were as many as twenty-two! Among them, rabbits and chickens each accounted for half!
All the applauders on the Meng family were dumbfounded, and the Meng brothers were stunned on the spot: There was no time limit, and ten arrows were shot, and whoever shot the most prey would win.
Young Master Ning did not commit a foul. He won the game, but he still won with a big score - it was a big winner.
Meng Qiao was used to being arrogant, but in the face of the huge gap in front of him, he had to bow down at this moment: "After that he was the one who had been on the battlefield in the Northern Xinjiang."
"I've given up," Young Master Ning also bowed to the other party, "Don't forget to make a bet."
Meng Qi gritted his teeth and stared at him, "I will never forget that I, Meng Qi, will never marry or take a concubine within ten years, and I will make this an oath."
"Yes." Young Master Ning nodded, whistled and called his horse, "There will be a date later."
Meng Qi felt a punch hitting cotton, and there was nowhere to vent his anger. Suddenly, he saw the housekeeper of the money house coming over quickly, so he had to suppress his temper and said, "What's the matter?"
The housekeeper pulled his boss and spoke with a step: "Eunuch Xia is up to you, don't want any bank deeds, but you can also ensure the safety of the young master."
Meng Qi frowned and said, "What do he want?"
"I want a cat."
"What? What does he want?! Cat?!" Meng Qi was confused again.
Chapter completed!
