The young man was full of energy, as if he didn't take this competition to heart at all. The heroes of the Five Kingdoms in front of him didn't show any nervousness at all, and they had the leisure to make bets with others.

This scene was seen by others, and a minister in the palace laughed and said, "That's Young Master Gongsun, right? It's true that a hero comes from a young age!"

Others also agreed.

"Yes, that's right, the Gongsun family has a successor..."

"...The tiger father has no sons. I heard that Young Master Gongsun was born with supernatural powers that ordinary people could not defeat. He also showed miracles when he was born."

"I have heard about it, but I don't know whether it is true or not."

…

Everyone was talking about it for a while, speculating on Gongsun Sheng's ability.

If the rumors are true, then Qi State must have won the first place in this competition, and they have 120,000 trust in Gongsun Sheng.

After a while, the horses neighed, and everyone galloped out of the palace gate one after another.

There were soldiers guarding both sides of the broad avenue, and the streets were surrounded by people watching the excitement.

"Xiao Jiu, I'm going to take the first step!"

As soon as they set off, Gongsun Sheng took the lead and occupied the front of the team.

Xiao Jiu was neither fast nor slow, and stayed in the middle of the team.

Hearing this, he was not dissatisfied. He raised his voice and responded from behind, "You go first, I will catch up right away!"

"drive!"

Everyone was riding horses, chasing each other, and the battle was very fierce.

Gongsun Sheng held the first place and Chi Er was neck and neck.

Xiao Jiu was riding well at first, but suddenly he saw that his left and right sides were occupied by two Nanmans. The three of them were walking side by side. He was caught in the middle and his speed was slowed down.

Is this malicious?

Xiao Jiu narrowed his eyes slightly, making guesses about the actions of these people.

When they reached a corner, there were only a few people around, and the Nanman on the left suddenly waved his whip towards Xiao Jiu.

If this blow hits, it is guaranteed to leave a blood mark on the person's body.

Fortunately, Xiao Jiu was on guard, clamped the man's hand tightly, and pulled the man off the horse with a backhand twist.

Then he quickly leaned back to avoid the dagger of the person on the right, and raised his leg to sweep him down.

Although the obstruction and harassment of several people could not hurt Xiao Jiu, it also slowed down his horse speed. Unexpectedly, when he caught up from the end of the team, he happened to see Gongsun Sheng.

"Are you okay?"

Xiao Jiu stopped beside him.

One look at the scratches on the other person's clothes and the mess on his body, and you knew that he had just fought with someone.

Gongsun Sheng got on his horse. The small tricks of the southern barbarians could not hurt him, but made him more serious than before. A huge flame surged in his heart. His expression was condensed and he spoke almost every word.

"No problem, but I, the young master, must make these southern barbarians look good!"

As the young master of the Gongsun family, who would dare to plot against him?

This was the first time Gongsun Sheng saw someone dare to play tricks in front of him.

"Xiao Jiu, why don't we change our bet? I'll be first, you second, so that the southern barbarian can only take the last shot!"

Gongsun Sheng said proudly, with a majestic momentum, like a tiger ready to go out of its cage.

Xiao Jiu smiled and corrected, "I am the number one, what you said is contradictory."

Gongsun Sheng laughed loudly and said in a loud voice, "Okay! Then let's compete! Let's see who can push down the Nanman first!"

After saying that, the riding whip fell, and the black horse rushed out like lightning, and Xiao Jiu was lagging behind by a long distance in an instant.

He didn't originally think about it first, but now, his mind has changed.

Not only to suppress the arrogance of the Southern Barbarians, but also to formally enter the eyes of the King of Qi.

Xiao Jiu swung his whip and chased after him. He no longer hid his clumsiness and used all his strength to compete.

After a while, the last two people caught up and caught up to Chi'er, who was in first place, a few meters behind.

At the same time, the three of them were only a few dozen meters away from the palace gate. The outcome was in front of them. Finally, they reached the final stage. The atmosphere was tense and warm, and the people on the roadside couldn't help but cheer and cheer.

Suddenly, a cry of astonishment rang out from the crowd.

"careful!"

It was Chi'er who ran past first, and suddenly a child ran out of nowhere on the road. At this time, the guards guarding the road had no time to rescue him, or in other words, they were afraid of catching him.

A five or six-year-old commoner boy fell down in the middle of the road, staring at the speeding horse with his ignorant eyes, sitting there as if he was frightened, and he was at a loss.

Some people couldn't bear to watch it anymore, as if they had already foreseen the scene of a child being hit by a horse, with blood splattered on the spot, but some people still held on to a glimmer of hope.

"Wow——"

Amid everyone's exclamations, Gongsun Sheng lowered his body and leapt over the children's heads with his horse. The black horse was as curved as an eagle's bow. As it flew past, it did not touch the children at all. The most powerful among them was Mo.

Too young to sit on a horse.

Before everyone had time to cheer for Gongsun Sheng's superb horsemanship, they saw Xiao Jiu, who was one step behind him, suddenly bend down and lean down from his horse.

Just after he grabbed the child on the ground, Xiao Jiu also flew into the air due to the inertia of the sudden stop, then turned over and circled up like an egret, landing on a tree nearby.

There was no danger, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiao Jiu raised his eyes and looked at the palace ahead. The target was already in front of him, but it was too late for him to pursue it now.

Just when everyone was lamenting that the young man might lose the game because of this, they saw Xiao Jiu raising his hand, pulling out an arrow from behind, bending the bow and landing the arrow in one go.

"Does he still want to continue competing?"

"But it's so far away, how could he hit it?"

Everyone was shocked and couldn't believe it.

From here, it is at least a hundred feet away from the target erected in the palace, so it is impossible for anyone to hit it!

People looked up at the young man on the tree and held their breath nervously.

The wind passed by, and peach blossoms were flying all over the trees. The young man in white wore a bow like a full moon, and a shooting star flashed across his hand. The silver arrow flashed like an alien object from the sky, passing through the wind and shooting into the palace.

This scene happened to be fully visible to the young man sitting in the small building on the street. The latter's eyes were filled with surprise. After staring at Xiao Jiu seriously for a while, he murmured, "Is it him?"

There is no way of knowing who he was referring to.

"Is this a hit or a miss?"

Someone in the crowd whispered.

According to common sense, it is impossible to hit at this distance.

Inside the palace gate, the palace attendants guarding the target saw that someone had hit the target. They hurriedly stepped forward to check and chanted loudly.

"Xiao Jiu, the county magistrate of Chenzhouxun, takes the lead! He hits the bull's-eye!"

Then the second arrow landed on the target.

"Second place, Gongsun Sheng!"

…

"Wow--"

When the results were reported, not only the people inside the palace were shocked, but even the people outside the palace gate were excited.

"A hundred steps can pierce the Yang! The real thing is a hundred steps can pierce the Yang!"

Many people couldn't help but ask, "Who is this person?"

"Xiao Jiu! The Sheriff from Xun County!"

Some people's voices were full of excitement.

They may not know Xiao Jiu at all, nor do they know who Xiao Jiu is, but after seeing this, I believe most people will be familiar with this name. Qi has not seen anyone with such superb archery skills for many years.

!

What's more, he is still a young man who is not weak enough.

Gongsun Sheng, who was sitting on the horse, turned around suddenly and looked at the young man surrounded by the crowd outside the palace gate, surprise flashing across his face.

Xiao Jiu's arrow happened to hit the target just one step ahead of him, and he lost...

This is the first time Gongsun Sheng has lost to someone else.

Chi'er had a look of resentment on his face and was very unwilling. He cursed angrily and threw down his bow and left. It looked like he was very angry.

Xiao Jiu jumped down from the tree with the child in his arms and handed the child back to his mother. The mother and son hugged each other and cried. Xiao Jiu then smiled and warned in a gentle voice, "Be careful next time and don't run around again."

Already."

The child's mother's face was filled with gratitude, and her eyes were full of tears. She hurriedly responded, "Thank you so much!"
