1258 Failed, I like to hit the emperor's face the most
Uninformed people would only think that the emperor was trying to build momentum for Sicheng, but Feng Qingchen knew very well that the emperor regretted his decision to re-employ Sicheng, but now he did not have enough reasons to change the general, so he used this method. Come and punish Sicheng.
As long as Sicheng is embarrassed at the city gate, the emperor will have a reason to change the general, which will not cause instability in the morale of the army.
"I wonder if this Marshal Si will disappoint the Emperor." It's best to give the Emperor a hard blow, so that I can be worthy of my special visit.
Others did not have Feng Qingchen's experience. When they saw Si Cheng opening his bow, they all cheered loudly and were quite optimistic about Si Cheng.
"Your Majesty, you're so good at playing this show." Even Doudou, a bastard, knew about Si Cheng's coming to the city. It can be seen that someone deliberately spread it, just to make Si Cheng lose face in front of everyone.
If Sicheng misses today, the Si family's Shenjian camp will be completely destroyed, and Sicheng's status in the military will not be considered.
Being in the army relies on strength, especially a general like Sicheng who is famous for his strength.
Cages of birds were carried outside the city. Feng Qingchen watched coldly, with some expectation in her heart. Of course, she expected Si Cheng to knock down these two hundred birds beautifully, so...
Only then can the emperor's plan come to nothing.
She didn't care who led the troops to attack Xiling. She only knew that the emperor was unhappy, and she was happy.
"Let it go!" The Minister of War, who was presiding over the matter, saw that the atmosphere had been well established and that the onlookers were going crazy, and nodded with satisfaction.
The higher the expectations, the greater the disappointment.
Twenty cages were opened at the same time. As soon as the birds were freed, they flapped their wings and flew up, without any pattern or direction.
Two hundred birds were flying in all directions. Under such circumstances, it was not a problem to shoot one or two, but it was not that difficult to shoot down all two hundred birds.
Sicheng kept staring at the birds with a burning gaze. When they flew to a height of about three meters, Sicheng finally gave the order: "Shoot!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the sharp black arrows, as if they had been promised, shooting towards the birds in the sky. Fifty people, one hundred and fifty arrows, but not one arrow hit each other.
"As expected, they are well-trained and have a tacit understanding of cooperation." Feng Qingchen couldn't help but praise.
The soldiers of this Shenjian camp are probably only one step behind the Black Cavalry of the Nine Emperors Uncle. Their tacit understanding and strength are not much worse, but they just don't have the toughness and chill of the Black Cavalry.
Like rain, the birds in mid-air fell to the ground one by one. Each arrow had at least one bird on it, and as many as three birds.
But even though they were the same, a few birds still flew away. Just when everyone thought that these birds were about to run away, Sicheng took action, with the same three arrows, but the power of his three arrows was superior to the rain of arrows in the sky. superior.
With a sound of "Whoosh...", three arrows flew out at the same time, and the two arrows on the side were shot in an outward direction, to the left and right.
Puff... Puff... Puff... The three arrows hit three birds separately, but the arrows did not stop, and did not even lose half their strength, rushing straight forward.
Puff... Puff... Puff... Each arrow hit a string of birds. Feng Qingchen couldn't see how many there were. She only saw that the birds in the sky were skewered into candied haws by Si Cheng.
There were no birds in the sky, and everyone was silent. Feng Qingchen never knew that the city gate could be so quiet, but when Sicheng put away his bow, everyone burst into screams: "Ah ah ah ah …Young Marshal Si is so awesome.”
"Young Marshal is too strong."
"They all hit. The young marshal's arrows are so accurate."
"The young commander must win, the young commander must win."
…
Listening to this wave of cheers, which was louder than the previous wave, Feng Qingchen knew that Sicheng had won, and the victory was beautiful. No matter how dissatisfied the emperor was, he could not change his generals on the spot.
Jun Wu said, if the emperor wants to overthrow himself, he must find a good reason, otherwise the civil and military officials will be disappointed.
"He is indeed a master archer, his hand is beautiful." Feng Qingchen has never seen anyone who is more skilled in archery than Sicheng.
"It's so awesome. I've decided to become a disciple." Doudou waved his fists and gritted his teeth: "Learn this move, and I can kill people invisible even from a hundred meters away."
Uh... the first sentence is considered progressive, but what does the second sentence mean?
Feng Qingchen didn't even know what to do with Doudou, so he simply left Doudou here and left without saying a word.
As for whether Doudou would get lost, that was not within the scope of her consideration.
Anyway, Doudou can't die. The bad guys who meet Doudou are also bad guys.
Feng Qingchen left early and did not stand on both sides like everyone else, expressing love and admiration for Sicheng.
As soon as they arrived at Feng Mansion, Prince Su came to find her and asked her about the entrance to the city. After hearing Feng Qingchen's narration, Prince Su laughed sarcastically: "Your Majesty is too fond of Si Cheng. Si Cheng's archery skills have already improved."
He has reached the pinnacle, and there is no one in the world whose archery skills are better than his."
Feng Qingchen did not comment, but she believed that there was a world outside the sky, and there were people outside the world. Her world was too big, and there were many people and things in this world that she had never seen.
Seeing that it was still early, Feng Qingchen changed her clothes, carried the medicine box into the palace, and went to the eighth prince for a follow-up consultation.
Okay, she admitted that she was there to inquire about information. After all, she would have contact with Sicheng in the future, so knowing more about this person would help her prepare better.
After changing the medicine for the prince, Feng Qingchen told what happened at the gate of the city and mentioned Sicheng's power again. Concubine Xie Huang was a smart person, so she immediately discussed the matter between the Si family and Sicheng.
Although Marshal Si was a confidant of Prince Su, he was upright and tough, and he was not very close to Prince Su. Later, the two had disagreements over some things. Marshal Si took his family to the border for more than ten years.
I didn’t go to Beijing anymore.
As for Marshal Si, he is the successor of the Si family. He spent some time with Zhai Dongming at that time, and there has been no news since he left Beijing.
From Concubine Xie, Feng Qingchen learned that the Si family was loyal to the emperor, and because the Si family had been at the border all year round, people in the imperial city knew very little about them.
Feng Qingchen thanked them, then said goodbye and left. On the way, he met several concubines and went to check their pulses. Facing those concubines who were eager to have a son, Feng Qingchen expressed that he was under a lot of pressure.
The emperor is getting older and has indulged in excessive sexual activities during this period. It may be more and more difficult for these concubines to get pregnant, but Feng Qingchen can't understand it and can only mention a few words secretly.
Just these few words are enough to make those concubines depressed. They are all as old as flowers, and the emperor is old. Without children, what hope do they have?
Although Feng Qingchen sympathized with them, she was helpless. After entering the palace, her life was no longer hers.
Delayed by the women in the harem, Feng Qingchen left the palace in the evening. She thought she would gain nothing today, but she didn't expect to see today's man of the hour, Marshal Si Chengsi, at the gate of the palace.
King Luo was walking with him. The two seemed to be talking about something, but something didn't seem right about Marshal Si. He seemed to be...
Feng Qingchen squinted his eyes with a smile, glanced at Si Cheng from afar, turned around and left decisively.
