The location of the archery competition was set up at the practice ground.
The training ground at Lianchi Academy is quite large, and the training ground at Songzhu Academy is even bigger, more than twice as big. Hundreds of chairs are neatly arranged in several rows.
The practice ground has long been tidy and tidy, and more than ten archery targets have been set up. The eighteen students participating in the archery competition are each wearing military uniforms of different colors, carrying quivers on their backs, and holding their usual long bows.
Under the dazzling sunshine, the students were all full of vigor and graceful appearance.
The most eye-catching thing is the fourth prince who has won the archery competition for two consecutive years. The fourth prince's handsome face is as handsome as an ice sculpture, and it is a bit softer in the sun. The corners of his mouth are slightly raised, and his eyes are full of confidence.
Almost all the girls in Lianchi Academy were looking at the Fourth Prince.
On such occasions, there is no need to hide, and you can keep staring at the fourth prince openly. For the girls, it is really a happy thing.
Li Xiangru is the most focused and bright-eyed among them.
Lin Weiwei quietly tugged on Xie Mingxi's sleeves and nuzzled at Li Xiangru, her eyes full of narrow-mindedness.
Xie Mingxi twitched the corner of her mouth, her eyes swept over the extraordinary fourth prince, and landed on the sixth princess, who was dressed in red and white military uniforms.
In today's competition arena, the sixth princess, like the fourth prince, was also the focus of everyone's attention.
Regardless of her noble status, her beautiful face has attracted the attention of all the young people in the academy. Under the bright sunlight, the Sixth Princess has a bamboo-like figure, straight and slender legs, and a slender waist, which is pleasing to the eye.
The pretty and bright Yin Xiaoxiao and the delicate and lovely Fang Ruomeng are both slightly inferior to the sixth princess's astonishing beauty.
The Sixth Princess quickly turned back and looked at Xie Mingxi from a distance, as if she had a tacit understanding.
With such a long distance, we couldn't actually see each other's faces clearly. But when we looked at each other, they both showed knowing smiles.
Xie Mingxi, believe me, I will definitely beat your "ex-husband" today.
The sixth princess clenched the long bow in her hand.
…
"Are you nervous?" Yin Xiaoxiao asked Fang Ruomeng in a low voice.
Fang Ruomeng smiled bitterly and whispered back: "My palms are sweating."
Fortunately, she had already competed with the Four Books, so she had some experience in dealing with it. She silently thought in her heart that everyone was just a pile of wood, and her pounding heart suddenly calmed down.
Yin Xiaoxiao is naturally bold, so she was a little nervous at first, but after a while, she calmed down.
Among the officials sitting in the back row watching, a loud voice suddenly shouted: "Don't be afraid, my dear, dad is here!"
Yin Xiaoxiao: “…”
Yin Xiaoxiao wanted to cover her face. My father was too exaggerated. He was yelling in front of so many people. It was so embarrassing...
General Yin's sudden shout immediately caused the whole audience to burst into laughter.
His voice was so loud that hundreds of people could hear him clearly.
Emperor Jianwen was also amused: "This General Yin really loves his daughter!"
Empress Yu also smiled and joked: "The emperor also has his beloved daughter competing on the stage. How about imitating General Yin and shouting to build up momentum?"
Emperor Jianwen smiled and said: "If I shout randomly, I'm afraid the whole audience will imitate me, which will be deafening and frighten these young students. It won't be beautiful."
After joking for a while, the emperor and empress turned their attention to the field again.
Empress Yu seemed to be talking to herself, or asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, do you think Anping can win today?"
The Sixth Princess announced that she would dress up as a boy for a day and the Seventh Prince, and this matter has spread to the ears of all the concubines. Some people laughed at it, some were frightened, some sneered, and most of them just waited to see the excitement and the good show.
The Sixth Princess, who used to be invisible, suddenly appeared on the stage in front of everyone's eyes. People can't help but speculate.
Emperor Jianwen said calmly: "Since she has this intention, even if she loses, I have to make her wish."
In other words, no matter what the result of today's competition is, the Sixth Princess can play the role of the Seventh Prince for one day.
Queen Yu's eyes flickered slightly and she said no more.
…
Meng Shan read out the rules of the archery competition in a long voice.
Eighteen students first stood at the archery target at fifty paces and shot ten arrows in total. Hitting the bull's-eye was counted as one point, and no points were awarded for missing the target.
In the second round, stand a hundred steps away with the same ten arrows. The scoring rules are also the same.
After these two rounds, there will be a third round with live targets. There are two cages on the left and right, with fifty birds in each cage, a total of one hundred. The two masters will release the birds at the same time, and the students will draw their bows.
The limit for shooting birds is one stick of incense, and one point will be counted if you hit one.
The scores from the three rounds are added up for ranking. The one with the highest total score comes first.
In last year's archery competition, the fourth prince scored perfect marks in the first two rounds, and then shot eight birds in just a few moments, leading the way with a high score of 28 points and ranking first.
This year, can the fourth prince set another high score that no one can match?
Lianchi Academy, which has promised to compete for the first place, has always been at the bottom of Sheyu. This year, the sixth princess Yin Xiaoxiao and Fang Ruomeng will join the battle. Can they achieve a good ranking and continue Lianchi Academy's advantage?
Just thinking about it makes me excited!
A sharp whistle sounded.
All the students drew their bows and nocked arrows, stared sharply at the target fifty steps away, and then released their arrows in unison.
The archery competition officially begins.
…
Outside Songzhu Academy, it was still crowded with people joining in the fun today.
Staying outside the academy, of course, I don’t know what the competition is like inside. It’s interesting for the people to make guesses based on their imaginations. Several bank storekeepers are a little restless, and they poke their heads in from time to time, eager to know the results of the competition immediately.
.
"Lianchi Academy leads by a full sixteen points. This gap is really not small. I wonder if Songzhu Academy can regain one victory today!"
"Is there any need to think about this? With the Fourth Prince here, Songzhu Academy will definitely be number one today."
Even though he said this, the shopkeepers were still uneasy.
How evil!
The college competition has entered the fifth day, and Lianchi College has been in the lead for the first four days. Especially on the first two days, both teams took the top three, and the total score was terrifyingly high. The loss on the third day finally made people feel at ease.
.Unexpectedly, in yesterday's arithmetic competition, Lianchi Academy shined brightly and continued to be far ahead in total scores.
Could it be that Lianchi Academy will really win?
Will Songzhu Academy really lose?
impossible!
In today's archery competition, Songzhu Academy will surely catch up and take first place!
The odds of 1 to 10 set by their bank are guaranteed to make a profit!
The shopkeepers comforted each other, but they didn't know that the Songzhu Academy was filled with astonishment at this time.
When shooting from fifty steps away, there are many students who can hit all ten arrows. But when it comes to a hundred steps away, there are very few students who can hit all ten arrows.
The fourth prince hit all ten arrows, and Li Mo hit all ten. In addition, there were the Sixth Princess and Yin Xiaoxiao. In these two rounds, all four of them scored 20 points.
If you want to tell the difference, you have to look at the results of shooting the live target in the third round.
The fourth prince glanced at the sixth princess who was not far away from him. There was no contempt in his eyes anymore, instead he was frightened. (To be continued)
