Hongli's eyes were also red with anxiety, and he said loudly: "Fifth brother, don't worry about me, slide forward quickly, and shoot when you are sure. Believe in yourself, you will definitely hit the target."
After that, he turned around and blocked the influx of people for Hong Zhou, just like Hong Zhou did just now.
Believe in yourself! Believe in yourself!
Hong Zhou nodded vigorously, and used the time Hong Li had gained for himself to slide forward with all his strength. While sliding, he put the arrow on the bow. The fourth brother could hit it when he was so far away just now. Now that he is so close, he will definitely be able to hit it.
shot.
Get closer, get even closer, and when he slid to the edge of the ice lake and was about thirty steps away from the arch, Hong Zhou pulled the bow string as hard as he could.
At this time, Hongchang and Hongmin exchanged a look. Hongmin shook his sleeves, and an ice ball as big as his thumb fell. At the same time, he moved his foot slightly, causing the ice ball to roll toward Hong Zhou.
.
The sound of the ice ball falling was masked by the noise around it, and because the ice ball was the same color as the ice surface, no one noticed the inconspicuous ball and let it roll to Hong Zhou's feet.
When letting go of the bow string, usually the feet will step back slightly, and Hong Zhou is no exception. However, when he stepped back this time, the skates on his feet seemed to hit something, causing him to lose his balance all of a sudden.
Then he fell down and his back hit the ice hard, causing him so much pain that he couldn't breathe.
As for the arrow that was originally meant to be shot, it deviated from its target because of his sudden fall and shot toward the sky.
"Hongzhou!" Concubine Yu, who was sitting in the sky above and below, exclaimed. When she wanted to stand up, Guarjia held her down and said, "Concubine Yu, please stay calm for a while. Someone from the palace will naturally help the fifth elder brother.
You'd better sit down, if you're worried, ask them to help Brother Five over."
When she mentioned it like this, Yu Bin also remembered her identity, and had to suppress her worries and sit in the chair. Then she was afraid that Hong Zhou would make Yinzhen unhappy if he made a fool of himself in public, so she secretly glanced at Yinzhen's side face,
I found that the smile on his face had indeed disappeared, and I became even more worried.
Hongshi's gloomy mood improved because of Hongzhou's embarrassment. He walked in the direction of Hongzhou. When he walked there, an arrow fell from the air and landed at his feet. Hongshi bent down and picked it up.
, condescendingly said: "Tianqiu Tianqiu, fifth brother really went there
If you shoot it in the sky, will fifth brother shoot it on the earth later?" This sentence made everyone laugh softly, and he even said to the red-faced Hong Zhou: "Look, you are still there?
After you fell like this, get up quickly and tell my second brother where it hurts."
Hong Zhou gritted his teeth and looked at Hong Shi, turning a blind eye to his outstretched hand. It was not until Hong Li nervously slid up that he stood up holding Hong Li's hand. He endured the pain on his back and said, "Second brother, don't worry.
I feel so good that I don’t have any pain from the fall.”
"That's good. Seeing how hard you fell just now, second brother is really worried." He handed over the arrow and said with a sarcastic smile: "How about, fifth brother, do you want to continue shooting?"
Seeing his annoying smile, Hong Zhou's teeth itched and he wished he could punch him. He grabbed the arrow and said angrily: "I fell down just now because my feet slipped. Of course I have to shoot again."
Hongshi smiled and said nothing, but Hongli said: "Fifth brother, there is no need to cum again."
When Hong Zhou heard this, he immediately yelled unwillingly: "Why? Fourth brother, I haven't lost. I can still shoot again. I will definitely hit it next time."
Hongli raised his hand and pointed, "Look over there."
Hong Zhou looked in the direction he was pointing. After seeing what Hong Li was pointing to clearly, his expression suddenly darkened. The incense had been burned out, and the competition was over. There was no point in him shooting again; Hong Shi
It was only after seeing this that I didn't say anything.
Hong Zhou held the arrow and said nothing. Seeing him like this, Hong Li was worried, lest he could not accept the reality of being eliminated. When he was about to say a few words of advice, Hong Zhou had already let go of his hand and held the arrow.
He threw it on the ice and uttered three words, "I lost."
His sudden open-mindedness surprised Hongli. After a while, he came back to his senses and said cautiously: "Fifth brother, are you okay?"
Hong Zhou took a deep breath and said: "It's okay. Anyway, I had already thought about being eliminated. As long as Fourth Brother, you can enter the next level." At this point, he quickly asked: "By the way, Fourth Brother, you
The arrow just now must have been hit, right?"
Hongli shook his head and said: "I don't know, I have to ask the emperor."
Hong Zhou nodded, "Well, let's go see Huang Ama." As he said that, he limped towards Shangxia Tianguang with the support of Hongli and the palace people.
At the same time, the palace servants had already brought the two balls to Yinzhen and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the first competition has ended. Thirty-nine arrows were hit in the sky and twenty-seven in the earth." There were several people.
It hit the celestial sphere but failed to hit the earth, so the number of arrows in the two spheres was not even.
After handing the two balls to Si Xi and Su Peisheng, the palace attendant took out two more arrows. One of the arrows was slightly bent, and the shaft of the other arrow was split open. "Your Majesty, this is the second elder brother."
With the arrows shot by Brother Si on the earth, I don’t know whether to count them as hits or misses.”
Seeing that Hong Shi's qualifications for passing the test were wavering, Nala couldn't help but feel a little anxious. However, as Hong Shi's mother-in-law, she was not easy to talk to, so she could only glance at Shu Mulu, who didn't want to take this trip.
Troubled waters, but
Now he couldn't offend Nala, so he could only say: "The second elder brother was the first person to shoot the earth. This is obvious to all of us. Later, it was because of the fourth elder brother's arrow that it fell off the ball. Naturally
It’s time to count.”
Guarjia smiled slightly and said calmly: "According to Hui Guiren's saying, as long as it touches the ball, it is considered a hit, so the arrow of the fourth elder brother is also considered a hit?"
Shu Mulu said respectfully: "The fourth elder brother never hit the earth. He split the second elder brother's arrow and then shot it with all his strength. How can it be counted?"
Guarjia did not argue with her anymore, but looked at Yinzhen with a smile and said: "Your Majesty, how do you think this matter should be decided?"
At that time, Hongshi and Hongli had already come downstairs and saw the palace servants taking the two arrows up. They were all waiting nervously for Yinzhen's answer.
Yinzhen took the two arrows and looked at them carefully. The facts this time were a bit difficult. It stands to reason that Hongshi hit both balls. Even if the arrows fell down later, it would not affect his results. The key is that Hongshi
History, should he be allowed to pass?
Hongli was able to break Hongshi's arrow, and it was still at such a long distance, which proved that his archery skills were superior to Hongshi's. In fact, he did touch the earth. It would be a pity to judge him as unsuccessful.
