Dugu Sheng did not expect that the prospective daughter-in-law from the Donghuang Dynasty would be so generous.
He suddenly became a little more interested and ordered: "If that's the case, then it's settled. Someone, come and move the target."
Beside Qing Meng, Madam Qing gave her man a tug uneasily: "Damn it, are you really going to compete? My bow skills are not good, what if..."
"What if you can even compete with that Donghuang Sheng? What are you afraid of? This last one is definitely that idiot princess. When you see it, who can protect her?" Qing Meng turned his head at his wife
One glance.
Women in the Later Qin Dynasty had more or less learned the art of riding and bowing since childhood, but not everyone was like Qing Qiang, who specialized in bowing.
So it wasn't just Mrs. Qing who was feeling restless.
But then everyone thought about it, no matter how bad it is, it can't be worse than Donghuang Sheng.
Everyone looked at Donghuang Sheng's appearance, with her thin skin and tender flesh, as if she had never seen the sun a few times. Looking at her hands, it looked like she had held a weapon.
After thinking about it like this, 99% of the people have already concluded that the candidate for the job is none other than Donghuang Sheng.
Dugu Sheng gave an order, and saw several warriors walking up carrying an arrow target that was as high as half a person.
The arrow targets of the Later Qin Dynasty were not ordinary grass targets. They were half a meter in diameter. The bullseyes were made of golden arrow grass with excellent toughness, and were covered with a two-inch-thick rhinoceros skin.
The red target on the bullseye is stained with the blood of monsters. Such an animal skin target weighs more than one hundred kilograms. When you move it up, you can feel the smell of the battlefield.
If you are a person with weak arm strength, it will be difficult to hit the target, let alone the red heart of the target.
"Your Majesty, since there is a competition, there should be a referee to show fairness. Why not let me serve as the referee?" Qinghou seemed to be in a good mood and volunteered to be the referee.
"Why don't you let me serve as the referee? What do you think of the Holy Queen?"
I saw a warrior in plain robes walking over.
"Director Song, why are you here?" Emperor Qin couldn't help but look happy when he saw the visitor.
The nobles, princes, and concubines present also stood up one after another and saluted the visitors with respectful expressions on their faces.
"Master," Dugu Xiu also lost his usual coldness and walked forward.
Yun Sheng was also surprised. This Curator Song was the middle-aged flower farmer she had met in the medicine field earlier.
He is also dressed as a flower farmer, but unexpectedly, he is the director of Beidou Budokan.
This Director Song was not only the director of Beidou Martial Arts Hall, but also Dugu Xiu’s mentor. Dugu Xiu learned all his combat skills from Director Song.
He did not hold any official position in the court, but he could enter and leave the palace freely. He was the well-deserved number one among the warriors of the Later Qin Dynasty.
The origin of Director Song is very mysterious, and his cultivation level is also very high.
There are rumors in the outside world that his cultivation level has even surpassed that of the Martial Emperor.
It's just that the Director of the Song Dynasty was indifferent by nature, but upright, and he never liked the red tape in the court.
Every year, Dugu Sheng held a palace cuckoo banquet and invited him, but according to the rules of previous years, he never attended.
So when he suddenly appeared at today's cuckoo banquet, everyone was naturally surprised.
When Queen Qing saw Curator Song, her expression changed slightly.
Emperor Qin and others may not understand the origin of Curator Song, but Empress Qing does.
Director Song was sent by Hei Yao, the leader of the Qilin tribe, to teach Dugu Xiu martial arts.
Although he was sent by Obsidian, in terms of seniority, he is still Obsidian's senior brother and is rumored to be a member of the Beast Shrine of the Eight Desolate Tribes.
When Obsidian met Qinghou, he realized that Qinghou was a very ambitious woman. She was obsessed with power and had long wanted to control the affairs of the Later Qin Dynasty.
In order to prevent Qinghou from becoming big and controlling Dugu Xiu in the future, Obsidian sent Curator Song to assist Duguxiu in ascending to the throne of the Later Qin as early as possible, and also to prevent Qinghou from becoming too powerful.
Indeed, after Director Song came, the mother-son relationship between Qinghou and Dugu Xiu became quite estranged.
For this reason, Queen Qing had been very angry with Director Song and wanted to drive him away. However, Director Song was highly respected by Emperor Hou Qin and Dugu Xiu, so she could only secretly hate him.
At today's cuckoo banquet, Queen Qing wanted to give Donghuang Sheng some color. If she served as a referee, she would naturally be able to use her hands and feet during the competition. But when Director Song came, she had no choice but to be miserable.
stepped aside.
As soon as Director Song arrived, the refereeing matter naturally fell on him.
"Everyone, since the Holy One has appointed Song as the referee for this competition, Song has been bold and changed the rules of archery." Director Song re-stipulated the rules of archery.
The family members of civil and military officials, all those under thirty years old and over fourteen years old are required to participate in this archery competition.
Five arrows are used to determine victory or defeat. Whoever hits the highest number of rings wins.
According to the rules over the years, the competition starts with those of lower rank who are eligible to participate in the Cuckoo Banquet. From the third-rank military attache to the princes and concubines, those who meet the archery requirements for this competition, including the quasi-Crown Princess Yun Sheng, there are a total of three female guests.
Ten people.
Five arrows per person, that is, one hundred and fifty arrows.
Each arrow has been specially treated, and a copper coin is tied to the tail of the arrow. The copper coins are marked with numbers from "one" to "thirty".
But just before the archery competition began, Director Song spoke again.
"Right now, each female guest has been assigned five arrows marked with different numbers. In this competition, only the final result is recorded, that is, the winner or loser is not determined until the last person shoots the arrow. During this period, each person
The arrows shot will not be pulled out. The person who shoots later can shoot down the arrows shot by the person who shot earlier. If the arrow is shot down, the results of the person who shot earlier will not be counted." Director Song's archery rules are really true.
First time I heard about it.
However, this will greatly increase the visibility and excitement of the archery competition.
Yun Sheng received the tail arrow marked "1", and according to the order, she ranked last.
The first person to come up was the wife of a third-grade military attache. She took the arrow from the guard and made five swishes.
Only five arrows were seen, one after another, landing in the "seven, eighty-nine rings".
She is worthy of being the wife of a military attache, and her archery skills are indeed good.
But despite this, the military attache and his wife looked very nervous.
This time, according to Director Song's competition rules, no one knows the outcome until the last arrow is fired.
The archery target is very large, and it is more than enough to hold two to three hundred arrows, but the space is limited after all. If you don't take the arrows, the chances of hitting the target or being shot down will be greatly increased.
The remaining fourteen or five more people were shot one after another. Except for one person whose archery skills were slightly inferior, most of the people's arrows landed on the seventh or eighth ring.
During this period, two people's arrows were shot down.
"It seems that the women of the Later Qin Dynasty are indeed as good as women. Such archery skills are more than enough even for killing enemies in battle," Dugu Xiu nodded in agreement, stroking his beard.
"I hope the people behind me will do the same," Queen Qing said, giving Yun Sheng a sideways look.
