"Perhaps we can secretly use some tricks to change the trajectory of the arrows!"
Li Fengyu smiled slyly.
But Ye Chen shook his head, "It won't work!"
"Why?"
Li Fengyu frowned.
"Everyone is not stupid. You can tell whether the arrow's trajectory has been forcibly changed by someone!"
After a pause, Ye Chen added: "What's more, if you want to change the trajectory of the arrow, you must use spiritual power, and there are many wizards from the Moon Worshiping Empire present. Even I can't do it without knowing it.
Do it right under their noses."
"this……"
Li Fengyu was a little dissatisfied, "Are we going to watch the Fifth Highness be eliminated in this round?"
"Didn't you say there were five rounds of competition in total?"
Ye Chen shook his head, "Even if you are not selected in this round, you should still have a chance in the next four rounds!"
"But the specific content of the next four rounds has not been announced until now. If they are all areas that His Highness is not good at, wouldn't there be no chance at all?"
Li Fengyu was worried.
Ye Chen didn't speak any more this time.
Regarding the remaining four rounds of competition events, the Moon Worshiping Empire has not announced in advance.
In other words, only on the eve of the competition will everyone know what will be compared.
Therefore, if the remaining four rounds of competition are all areas that Nangong Qin is not good at, they really have no hope.
"Forget it, it's now time, I can only rely on my fifth brother for everything!"
Nangong Kaige said solemnly: "If my fifth brother has no ability and relies on cheating to win this marriage, I will be ashamed of him!"
Ye Chen: "..."
He had long known that Nangong Kaige was a straight man who didn't know how to adapt, but when he heard these words, he still felt a little speechless.
With Geng reaching this level, it’s no wonder Nangong Qin wants to fight for the throne behind Nangong Kaige’s back!
Nangong Kaige's character is really not suitable for getting involved in the whirlpool of power.
"Now that the princes are ready to take their seats, let's get started!"
"when!"
As the majestic bell rang, more than thirty princes from various countries who had already been preparing for the martial arts arena finally began to draw arrows and draw their bows, aiming at the round wooden target one mile away.
Each target corresponds to a prince!
In other words, if a prince accidentally misses his arrow and shoots his arrow into another prince's target, the other prince's points will be counted.
"I think... I'd better not show my shame anymore!"
Nangong Qin had already picked up the bow and arrows, but after taking a look at the target a mile away, and then at the thirty or so competitors around him, he smiled bitterly, actually put down his bows and arrows, and headed straight towards where Ye Chen and others were.
The VIP seat came up.
"No way, he gave up just like that?"
"Isn't it too insincere to quit before the battle?"
"Yes, even if you are not good at archery, you should at least pretend to work hard and just give up. Are you being a foil to us?"
Seeing Nangong Qin give up on his own initiative, the princes around him burst into laughter again.
Even the surrounding Moon Worshiping Empire spectators sneered at Nangong Qin.
But Nangong Qin turned a deaf ear to all kinds of disdainful voices.
Soon, he walked up to Ye Chen and said, "I'm sorry to disappoint Brother Ye!"
"It doesn't matter, this is not your strong point, there is no need to insist on it!"
Ye Chen shook his head. Instead of showing any disappointment, he comforted him with a smile.
Because in this archery competition, there is no rule that only bows and arrows provided by the Moon Worshiping Empire can be used. You can also use your own.
The bows and arrows used by more than a dozen of the princes were brought with them.
Both in terms of quality and arrows, they are all top-notch products, countless times higher than the quality of bows and arrows provided by the Moon Worshiping Empire.
Especially Yelisha, the second prince of the Wolf Fang Empire, became the focus of the audience with his own bow and arrow.
It was an ancient bow engraved with various talismans. It had a domineering appearance and the whole bow was extremely heavy. Just a ray of spiritual power was injected into it, and it became golden and dazzling.
According to the information provided by Nasim Padure last night, the ancient bow in Yelisha’s hands should be the famous weapon of the Wolf Fang Empire, the Divine Condor Bow.
I heard that this magical bow can shoot arrows hundreds of miles away and has the power to penetrate mountains ten miles away.
Under such circumstances, it would be understandable for Nangong Qin to give up on his own initiative.
After all, Nangong Qin didn't have a good bow to use.
In addition, Nangong Qin's own archery skills were poor, so even if he managed to shoot, it would only be embarrassing.
Instead of standing in the competition hall and becoming the laughing stock of everyone, it is better to give up as soon as possible, which will appear more free and easy.
Although everyone was laughing wildly at Nangong Qin's initiative to give up, after Nangong Qin showed extreme indifference, everyone laughed for a while and felt that it was not interesting, so they focused their attention on the competition venue.
"Boohoo!"
As the competing princes drew their bowstrings, sharp arrows shot out.
Most of the princes present seemed to have some unique skills in archery. Even if the distance was as long as one mile, they could still hit the target accurately.
However, there is only one person who can hit the target with an arrow.
The second prince of the Langya Empire, Yelisha!
He held the Condor Divine Bow in his hand, and the arrows were self-made wind arrows. After ten arrows were fired in succession, not only did the arrows hit the bullseye, they also penetrated the one-meter-thick archery target and disappeared into the mountain behind.
not see.
"Yelisha, the second prince of the Wolf Fang Empire, is simply a natural-born archer!"
"Isn't that true? I heard that he started practicing archery at the age of five. At the age of eight, he could pierce a tree with a hundred steps. At the age of twelve, he won the national archery crown. At the age of fifteen, he shot down the Blue Firebird, a vicious bird that was difficult to get rid of in the Wolf Fang Empire for a century.
, so when he was sixteen years old, the contemporary emperor of the Wolf Fang Empire officially gave him the Condor Bow!"
"His archery skills were originally unmatched by anyone, but now he holds the famous weapon of the Wolf Fang Empire, the Condor Bow, which makes him even more powerful!"
"Although he is only sixteen years old now, with his potential, it is absolutely undisputed that he will surpass the eldest prince of the Wolf Fang Empire and ascend to the throne in the future!"
"Not only is his archery skill amazing, but his physique is so strong and manly, he is exactly the type I like!"
"Don't be a nymphomaniac. He is the second prince of the Langya Empire. He comes to worship our Moon Empire, but he comes to participate in Princess Sara's wedding. We, the ruined flowers, have no chance!"
"You are the one who is ruined, but I am still a young lady!"
"But you don't look at yourself in the bronze mirror. With your looks, an ordinary man would feel sick just looking at you. How do you expect to become the second prince of the Wolf Fang Empire?"
…
With the end of the first archery competition, Yelisha, the second prince of the Wolf Fang Empire, became the object of admiration by everyone.
Especially those ignorant and inexperienced young women in the Moon Worshiping Empire are eager to take the initiative to throw themselves into his arms, even if they only have one night of love, they are willing to do so.
After being praised by everyone for a while, Yelisha, the second prince of the Wolf Fang Empire, had his vanity inflated to the extreme.
The next moment, he suddenly looked at Nangong Qin, who had already left the stage, and said in a provocative tone: "Nangong Qin, don't say we won't give you a chance. Let's do this. If you are not good at archery on your own, you can find an entourage or hire an arrow.
Let someone with superb skills compete on your behalf!"
As soon as these words came out, they immediately got the approval of other princes.
"Yes, it's outrageous that the dignified fifth prince of the Yong'an Empire escaped from battle!"
"Even if it's just a formality, you should pick up the bow and show off and shoot it, right?"
"Even if you can't even hold a bow yourself, you should at least send a follower to help you keep the facade down, right?"
"Don't worry, as long as you can find a decent person to compete for you, we can jointly apply to His Majesty to tamper with the competition rules and give you some relief!"
All the princes were working together and seemed to want to collectively watch Nangong Qin's joke.
After all, twenty years ago, Nangong Xian, the Qingwu Emperor of the Yong'an Empire, led an army to sweep across the West.
And all the empires present were trembling under the iron hooves of the Yong'an Empire and knelt down to surrender.
Now that they have finally caught the opportunity to publicly humiliate the direct descendants of the royal family of the Yong'an Empire, how can they let it go?
Even though there are some frictions between these small countries, compared to the hatred brought to them by the Yongan Empire, the frictions between them are nothing.
"Damn, that's too much!"
Before Nangong Qin refused, Nangong Kaige cursed angrily.
But Nangong Qin had a bitter look on his face.
It was because he was not good at archery that he voluntarily gave up this round of competition.
Even if the other party repeatedly provokes him, he will never agree just to show off.
After all, once you agree, if you still lose on the court, it will only add to the humiliation and make yourself even more embarrassed.
However, just when he was about to shake his head and refuse, Ye Chen suddenly stood up and said loudly: "I am willing to compete for His Highness the Fifth Prince Nangong Qin!"
