Hearing this, before Yang Ju could answer, Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help but speak first. "Why don't the Wu brothers come? I think the great talent of the Tang Dynasty should know better than us!"

When Tang Zhe heard what Lu Xiangsheng said, he immediately thought of something. He turned around and glanced at Li Xianzhong, who was standing not far from him. Seeing that Li Xianzhong lowered his head and did not look at him, Tang Zhe immediately understood. It must be Li Xianzhong.

What the hell is going on? But what can he say? In this competition, Li Xianzhong and his two servants are the main force he relies on most. At this time, no matter what happens, he cannot

Blame Li Xianzhong.

Thinking of this, Tang Zhe immediately turned around. "In this case, Brother Yang will have to suffer some losses. Brother Wu is absent, so I can only assume that he has given up on his own initiative. In this way, in this first game,

In the competition, you lost two games before even competing!

For the sake of Brother Yang, I can give you a chance. If you can find two more scholars on site within half an hour to replace the Wu brothers, I can also allow them to participate. How about it?

"

Yang Ju shook his head. "Thank you, Brother Tang, for your kindness. However, we have decided that only the three of us will participate."

This is not because Yang Ju is arrogant, but because he knows that this possibility is almost non-existent. Yang Ju also knows very well that judging from the current situation, the chance of winning this time is very small. However, he has no way out.

, can only fight together.

When Wen Tiren heard what Yang Ju said, he asked both of them at the same time, "Can we start?" Wen Tiren was not only a notary today, but also a referee.

Seeing that both of them nodded, Wen Tiren made a gesture to the front. Immediately, a man appeared, carrying a wooden sign, and inserted it a hundred steps away.

Seeing that the man's wooden sign had been planted, two more people came out and presented a new bow and a pot of arrows to Wen Tiren.

Wen Tiren took the bow in his hand and said to several people, "This is a newly made two-stone bow. Please check it first!" After saying that, he handed the bow to Yang Ju.

Yang Ju took the bow in his hand and tried it. Fortunately, he probably could pull it open. Yu Ren and Lu Xiangsheng behind him just pulled the bow symbolically and passed it to Tang Che and the others.

.

Seeing that everyone said there was no problem, Wen Tiren added, "Since everyone has seen that the bow is no problem, I will tell you the specific rules of the arrow competition."

On our wooden sign a hundred steps away, there are ten circles drawn in total. From the outside to the inside, there are numbers from one to ten. Each person shoots five arrows. The total number of rings fired determines the winner or loser."

After this method was explained, Yang Ju and the others who participated in the competition were fine, but those who did not participate started talking about it. Because they had never used this method before when they saw people comparing arrows. Some people immediately said that this method is good.

Some people also expressed opposition.

Seeing the onlookers talking incessantly, Wen Tiren raised his voice and said to everyone, "Don't make any noise. This method was proposed by Mr. Yu Ren of the Donglin Team. After discussion, everyone agreed. I myself

I also think this method is more fair.”

Everyone heard that this method was agreed upon by their competitors, so naturally they had nothing to say.

So Wen Tiren took out five more paper balls and handed them to Yang Ju and the others. The names of Tang Zhe and Tang Zhe were written on these five paper balls. Whoever was drawn would compete with the other.

As a result, Yang Ju drew Tang Che, Yu Ren drew Wang Shiji, and Lu Xiangsheng drew Li Liu.

The only chance to win this game is for all three to win. Judging from the current situation, the result of the draw is obviously in their favor. Yu Ren, the worst archer among the three, was also drawn.

Wang Shiji, the opponent's worst archer, and Li Liu, the opponent of Lu Xiangsheng, the best archer, are obviously not the strongest. As for Yang Ju and Tang Che, both of them are talented people. Although they know some archery, I believe they should

None of them are very proficient, just half-measured.

Yang Ju, who originally didn't have much hope, couldn't help but feel more confident after seeing the results of the lottery. You know, in these two big competitions, even a fool can see that Donglin and the three

The only possible win is the archery competition. If you want to win the arrow competition, the only result is that all three players will defeat their opponents. Although this possibility is not very high, in the end the probability is still higher than the last one in the arena.

There are many bigger games.

Seeing the results of the lottery, Yang Ju secretly held the hands of Yu Ren and Lu Xiangsheng. "It seems that God is still favoring us. As long as we win these three games, we will be invincible!"

Before Yang Ju finished speaking, Tang Che snorted coldly and walked up. "Yang, great talent. It seems that God really has an eye on this! Let us two instigators come first. How about,

Should you go up first, or should I go up first?"

Yang Ju hurriedly took the bow from Wen Tiren's hand. "I think I should come first!"

At this time, Yang Ju no longer dared to be polite to Tang Zhe. He was worried that he would be under too much psychological pressure if he ejaculated later, so he chose to ejaculate first.

Tang Che did not object, but took a step back. "Okay, then please invite Brother Zhiyong to come first!" Tang Che seemed to be very worried.

Yang Ju took the arrow from someone else's hand, took the bow and shot it.

The arrow hit the eighth ring, and there was a burst of applause from the crowd. Unfortunately, the arrow was not powerful enough. Although the iron arrow hit the wooden sign, it failed to stick firmly. It shook a few times and finally fell to the ground.

.

Yang Ju's face suddenly turned ugly.

"Zero ring." Wen Tiren stood aside and reported the results loudly.

Although the first shot failed, Yang Ju was not discouraged. He bit his lip and shot the second arrow with force.

This time, although the shot only hit six rings, it was firmly stuck on the wooden sign. This time, no one in the crowd cheered again, as if they were afraid that speaking too loudly would knock the arrow off the wooden sign.

.

"Six rings." Wen Tiren's voice echoed throughout the audience.

Yang Ju finally calmed down. He performed well on the next three arrows, one with seven rings, one with nine, and one with six.

"Twenty-eight rings in Yang Ju." Wen Tiren announced the final result of Yang Ju.

Tang Che walked up and reached out to take the bow from Yang Ju's hand. "How could Brother Zhiyong make a mistake at such a critical time? It's really a pity. But it doesn't matter. Maybe I will make a mistake too!"

After saying that, Tang Che took out an arrow from the quiver with a bit of pride, drew his bow and shot it. Tang Che didn't seem to be very careful, but the arrow shot steadily on the eighth ring.

A burst of cheers immediately erupted from the northeast corner.

Tang Zhe showed a satisfied smile, raised the long bow in his hand and waved to the crowd supporting him. Then, he drew another arrow.

This time, Tang Zhe hit the seventh ring.

With the third arrow, Tang Che hit the eighth ring again.

Seeing this, everyone's hearts dropped. There were still two arrows left, and Tang Zhe already had twenty-three rings. In other words, as long as he shot six rings with these two arrows, he would win.

Just when everyone was disappointed, Tang Zhe also missed. His fourth arrow failed to hit the wooden sign.

This time, hope appeared again. In the crowd, Donglin Party supporters immediately let out a sigh. Although Tang Zhe missed, he did not panic. He slowed down a little, and then steadily fired the last arrow.

"Six rings." Wen Tiren shouted loudly.

There was a sigh from the crowd.

"Twenty-nine rings of Tang Che. Tang Che wins this round." Wen Tiren shouted loudly.

As soon as this result was announced, it was equivalent to announcing the failure of the Donglin team.

Next, Yu Ren and Lu Xiangsheng, although they both performed very well, defeated their opponents respectively. Especially Lu Xiangsheng, he defeated Li Liu with a big score of 47 rings to 35 rings. However, their

Excellent performance could not change the final result of this game.

On the way back, Yang Ju kept his head down and didn't speak. Although no one blamed him, he seemed unable to forgive himself.

Because there will be an even more difficult arena match tomorrow, Yu Ren and Lu Xiangsheng separated from everyone early and went back to rest, preparing to recharge their batteries and fight again tomorrow.

Yu Ren still lives in Fatty Xu's house for the time being.

Although he lost today's archery contest, Yu Ren didn't care too much. What made him most regretful was that he didn't see Li Ying among the crowd in the arena.

"Maybe there were too many people and I didn't find her!" Yu Ren comforted himself.

Since today's game ended early, it was just past midnight when he returned to Fatty Xu's house. Yu Ren decided to take a nap. He was doing one thing after another these days, and there was no chance for him to take a good rest.

Therefore, he wanted to take this opportunity to rest more.

However, sometimes, God is so unkind. The more you want to rest, the more things he will do for you.
