Chapter 458: The first battle
In a harmonious atmosphere, the Khan of the grassland returned to his own viewing stand with his generals, and the eldest prince also returned to his side's viewing stand with a group of troops.
Li Ye looked at Yelu Qi and asked with a smile: "Who do you plan to send in the first battle?"
Yeluqi glanced at him, pointed at Yeluyan behind him who was wearing a green arrow suit, and said: "It's not a matter of life and death, I just send my sister to fight."
Li Ye was stunned, turned to look at Nalan Yu who was standing under the stand holding the war horse, turned back and said with a smile: "You really sent the most noble princess!"
Yeluqi looked at him and smiled: "Yes, who do you plan to send to fight?"
Li Ye turned back and pointed at Nalan Yu who was holding the war horse and said, "I sent my eldest brother, General Nalan, to compete with Her Royal Highness, is that okay?"
Yeluqi turned to look at Nalan Yu who looked unhappy, waved his hand and said with a smile: "General Nalan, my sister is not sensible, you have to let her go."
Nalanyu looked at Yeluyan, who was dressed in an arrow suit and leading a horse covered in red, with a look of despair.
He greeted her from afar and said, "For the sake of my sister Mu Mu, don't let me lose too embarrassingly."
Yeluyan looked at him in surprise and asked in confusion: "This hasn't started yet? How do you know that I will definitely beat you?"
Nalanyu looked at Yeluyan who was approaching, curled her lips and said, "How about I trade horses with the princess?"
"No!" Yeluyan looked at him with a smile and continued to reply: "How can a grown man trade horses with a woman like me, and I still expect you to give me a hand?"
Yeluyan and Mumu have been together every day these past few days, pestering Nalanyu to take them hunting, and the two have become very familiar with each other.
Nalan Yu turned to look at Li Ye and said, "I'll be back late, remember to explain it to my brothers."
Li Ye looked at him and smiled: "Hurry up and get on your horse, the time has come."
Yelu Qi also looked at Yelu Yan and said, "Sister, you must not lose the face of your father!"
The two of them glanced at Li Ye and Yelu Qi, and then all mounted their horses.
At this time, Harisawa Pingaki and Ma Feihu, who were the referees of the competition, came up, looked at the two of them and asked: "Are you both clear about the rules and paths of the competition?"
"I know!" Yeluyan replied.
"I will eventually understand!" Nalanyu replied.
The flag bearer at the stands raised the red flag in his hand, looked at the two men and shouted: "Whoever gets the other side's red flag back here first will be the winner!"
The two nodded.
The flag bearer looked at the two men and nodded their hands, shouting loudly: "Now, it's time to go!" Before he finished speaking, he waved the raised red flag heavily.
Before Nalan Yu could come to his senses, Yeluyan had already waved her riding whip, like a gust of wind, and rushed out of the open space outside the stands, heading towards Nanyun City Juechen!
"Well, princess, wait for me!" Seeing that he started late, Nalan Yu quickly galloped towards Yeluyan!
"Princess is mighty!"
"The princess must win!"
The soldiers of the grassland tribe roared loudly!
Li Ye looked back at his soldiers.
"General Nalan is mighty!"
"General Nalan will win!"
The war drums of both sides were beating loudly, and together with the roars of both sides, the sound shook the sky.
Looking at the two people walking away, Yeluqi looked back at Li Ye and asked, "In the opinion of the Imperial Master, who among them will win?"
Li Ye glanced at him and replied calmly: "Is there any need to ask? When it comes to war horses and riding skills, who among the practitioners in the five realms can compare to the people of your grassland tribe?"
Yeluqi was stunned, looked at him and praised: "What you said is very good."
Li Ye shrugged and replied: "I just told the facts. Just talking about your sister's horse, it should be the legendary sweat horse, right?"
"Isn't it amazing that you even know this?" Yeluqi looked at him in disbelief.
The two looked at each other and then laughed.
In the stands, Zhize Suogu, Yue Wuxie and Lan Tianqi were talking to Yelu Chucai.
"With just the bloody horse of Her Royal Highness, can you defeat the general in Southern Xinjiang?" Yue Wuxie asked.
Lan Tianqi smiled and said: "There is no suspense about the outcome of this first game. We can start the second game first."
Zhize Suogu looked at Yelu Chucai and asked: "King Khan, which general will we send to fight in this second battle?"
Yelu Chucai looked at the several Khan kings chatting and laughing in front of him, nodded slightly, and replied: "The third scene is from General Wu Changtian, a subordinate of King Lan. His archery skills are legendary in the tribe.
"
Lan Wudi looked at the several khan kings and replied in a deep voice: "We must not be careless. There are powerful people hidden in the southern Xinjiang army. We have suppressed the realm below the eighth level of Nascent Soul to prevent them from sending powerful people."
Yelu Chucai nodded, looked at the kings and said, "Before victory is achieved, everyone should be more careful and must not mess up their state of mind."
Yelu Chucai looked at Yelu Qi who was walking over and waved him forward to ask questions.
"I wonder what instructions my father and the Khans have?" Yeluqi walked out of the stand and asked with a smile.
"Your sister is racing with him. If she doesn't come back soon, she has nothing to do. Let's arrange the next ring competition. We can complete two competitions today, and the last one will be held tomorrow!" Yelu Chucai looked at him and said.
Yeluqi thought for a while and realized that it was the same reason. We couldn't let people from both sides sit here and wait. The two of them would go back and forth in less than an hour and a half before they could not come back.
"I'll go ask them." Yeluqi cupped his hands with the kings, turned around and left the stand.
"Our opinion is that we should be idle. Can we play the second game now and leave the third game until tomorrow?" Yeluqi looked at Li Ye and said.
Li Ye turned back and glanced at the eldest prince, who had his eyes closed and was concentrating. The eldest prince looked at him and nodded, smiling: "Then continue!"
Li Ye turned around and looked at Mu Mu, who was hiding aside and cracking melon seeds with Xia Wutong, and asked, "Is it okay?"
"Come on!" Mu Mu threw away the melon seed shells in her hands, stood up and said, "Let them come over."
Li Ye turned around, made a gesture to Yeluqi, turned around and walked out of the stands.
When Mu Mu was going to play, he had to watch from the sidelines, for fear that the little devil would cause trouble for him again.
Yelu Qi saw Li Ye's gesture, turned around and replied to Yelu Chucai and others: "It's time to start."
When Wu Changtian heard this, he jumped off the stand with his bow and arrows in hand and walked towards the front.
Mu Mu, who was standing in the stands, saw someone from the other side jumping off the stands. He also took out his iron bow and ran into the field.
Looking at the two people standing in the sound, Yeluqi and Li Ye shook their heads, turned to look at the two referees and asked: "Are the archery targets ready?"
As the referees of the game, Harisawa Pingaki and Ma Feihu came up, looked at the two of them and replied: "Everything is ready."
Yeluqi looked at Wu Changtian and smiled: "Relax and don't be nervous, just like when you are hunting on the grassland."
Li Ye looked at Mu Mu and said, "Sister, do you still remember the arrow I wanted to shoot from the Fuchun River?"
Looking at the two people, he asked: "Are you both clear about the rules and paths of the game?"
Wu Changtian looked at Yeluqi and nodded.
Mu Mu looked at Li Ye and nodded vigorously. How could she not know what Li Ye was thinking.
"I know!" Mu Mu replied.
"I will eventually understand!" Wu Changtian replied.
Yeluqi stepped forward, pointed to the two arrow targets one hundred and twenty feet away in front and right, and said, "That's where the target is."
The flag bearer at the stand raised the red flag in his hand, looked at the two men and shouted: "Each shoot ten arrows, and the number of red hearts will determine the outcome."
The two nodded.
Mu Mu looked at Wu Changtian and said, "Brother said you are guests from afar, so you should shoot first." After saying that, he picked up the iron bow and stood aside.
Wu Changtian looked at Yeluqi. Yeluqi nodded and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter who goes first. General, please invite me."
Wu Changtian looked at him and cupped his hand, holding the bow and arrow in his hand. He walked forward and stood at the position where the red line was drawn. He held the bow in his left hand and placed an arrow in his right hand.
"Come on, General Wu! General Wu is mighty!"
The grassland soldiers in the stands shouted at the top of their lungs to cheer Wu Changtian up.
Wu Changtian looked back and grinned. In the blink of an eye, he heard a "whoosh!" and an arrow flew towards the target in the distance!
Referee Harisawa Pingaki, who was standing not far away, turned back to look at the stands and shouted: "Hit the heart!"
"Come on, General Wu! General Wu is mighty!"
There were cheers in the stands.
Li Ye turned around and glanced at Mu Mu, only to see her pouting her little lips, thinking, what's there to show off?
Listening to the cheers from his side, Wu Changtian smiled faintly, took out an arrow from the quiver, and put it on the bowstring again...
...
By the way, Nalanyu was desperately chasing after Yeluyan all the way, watching her back from a distance, and occasionally shouting: "Sister, why are you working so hard? I will fight with you no matter what."
Let’s go hunting and eat meat!”
Yeluyan, who was riding a little red horse and having fun, heard Yeluqi's howling from a distance, but she was secretly proud of herself. You are so embarrassed, let's see how I deal with you this time.
"Brother Nalan, don't worry, I'll wait for you in front, so you have to hurry up!"
Having just finished speaking, he raised his whip lightly and sped forward.
Nalanyu couldn't see Yeluyan's back in the blink of an eye, and he was so angry that he cursed loudly: "You heartless girl, I won't roast meat for you in my tent next time you come back!"
While scolding, he had to keep running forward. Since he was caught in a fight, he couldn't give up and run back halfway. Otherwise, he would probably be scolded half to death by the eldest prince and Li Ye.
I have to finish this journey no matter what. If you lose, just lose. If I lose, I won’t lose. I will still scold that girl when I see her later.
I'll scold you every time I see you in the future.
It's not good for me, and you still want to be the wife of the eldest prince, there's no way.
While running wildly, I was thinking in my heart.
Yeluyan, who was running in front, seemed to have seen the soldiers of the two armies guarding the roadside. As long as she got Nalanyu's red flag, she would win the game.
"When I get the red flag, I will wait for you for a while, so that your loss will not be so ugly." Yeluqi had told her last night that since it was a sure win, he should save some face for the other party.
"Yeah! How dare you scold me behind the scenes? Let's see how I deal with you later."
The riding whip in his hand flickered, and the little red horse ran forward happily.
These dozens of miles of official roads are not a piece of cake for it.
It has been bored staying in Xichun City these days. It’s hard to get out of the city, so it’s time to have some fun.
Yeluyan also knew what it was thinking, and let it run away happily, regardless of it, thinking that as long as it won the game, it would be fine.
...
In front of Xichun City, Wu Changtian had already shot nine arrows, and each arrow hit the red heart.
The cheers of the grassland soldiers in the stands have become louder and louder. Can you not be excited? With only the last arrow left, they can win this second game!
Wu Changtian seemed to know that he would win this game. He couldn't help but turn around and glance at Mu Mu, who was holding melon seeds and chewing them. He shook his head and thought, this little guy has such a big heart. Even in the ring, you still have the heart to chew melon seeds.
Only Li Ye knew what Mu Mu was thinking, and it was clearly: I'm letting you.
Chapter completed!
