Xiang Shi's face sank and she glared at her son fiercely. Xiang Cong immediately lowered his head and dared not speak too much.

Manager Jiang continued: "The trouble now is the reputation of Guanpu Store. No one expected that Li Yanqing would emerge. If he won the first place, not only would Guanpu Store suffer heavy losses, but more importantly, everyone will not trust us in the future, and business will be difficult to do in the future."

Xiang Shi took a sip of tea and said calmly: "Isn't it normal to lose or win by betting? Why do gamblers feel guilty if they lose? If the person who bets wins money every time, wouldn't we turn into a nursing home?"

"The villain doesn't mean this. The villain means that 99% of the people will lose this time. Now many people are calling us the list of competitions we have made to deceive them, and the involvement is too great."

"This is fart! If you lose money, scold us. Why don't you tell us half of the money if you win? What does it mean to admit that you have to accept the loss? If you compete for the list of heroes is completely accurate, what else do you have to do in the competition?"

Xiang Shi was really dissatisfied with the timidity of the shopkeeper Jiang. The shopkeeper Jiang did not dare to say anything. He originally hoped that the boss could find a way to prevent Li Yanqing from winning the first place, so that the damage to the reputation of Yutang Pavilion would not be too serious, but the boss was not interested at all.

At this time, Xiang Shi said to his eldest son Xiang Cong: "You can learn about the management of Guanpu Store and find a way to add ten branches in various places in two or three years. You can walk around to see which places are more suitable. If you don't know anything, communicate with the shopkeeper more. If you do this, I will find a way to get you a shameful official!"

Xiang Shi didn't want his eldest son to manage the industry and do business, he just wanted to find something for his eldest son to help him calm down and not go out all day to cause trouble.

Xiang Cong had no choice but to agree, and Xiang Shi said to him again: "Go! Let's go with the shopkeeper now. I will warn you first, not to participate in the bow and horse competition."

After leaving the mansion, Xiang Cong immediately asked the shopkeeper, "Since Li Yanqing won the first place and influenced us, is there any way to reverse this influence?"

"I came to see the high-ranking official today to talk about this. If Li Yanqing can be stopped from winning the first place, then our credibility will continue to be maintained. Unfortunately, the high-ranking official does not care about this loss, so I have no chance to speak."

In Shangyan Business, as a businessman, Jiang Dashang Manager had no problem with his ideas. Xiang Shi knew this, so he did not blame him, but Xiang Shi would never do such a stupid thing, for a few small money to destroy the bow and horse conference led by Tong Guan.

Of course, Xiang Shi also knew that his son was simple-minded and ate, drank, gambled with Gao Yanei all day long, and was arrogant and arrogant, so Xiang Shi repeatedly warned his son not to interfere in the archery competition, but Xiang Shi never thought that his son had a holiday with Li Yanqing.

Xiang Cong's eyes flashed, as if he was thinking

It was already deep in the night. Li Yanqing was still practicing the bronze bow on the martial arts riding and shooting field. He would officially use the bronze bow to play tomorrow. He still needed to consolidate the feeling of arrows on the bronze bow.

‘Cang!’ The huge bowstring sound echoed at night, and an armor-breaking arrow shot out strongly, instantly shot out the Xiangtou Fire 120 steps away. The speed was at least twice that of his leopard-head bow.

"Okay!" There was a burst of applause behind him.

A man walked out of the darkness. It was Xu Ning, the golden spear general. Li Yanqing hurriedly bowed and saluted, "See Master Xu!"

Xu Ning smiled slightly and said, "I have used leopard head bow these days, but now I have changed it to a copper bow. How do you feel?"

Li Yanqing thought for a while and said, "It's like returning from a soft bed to a hard bed!"

"This metaphor is interesting, let's talk about it in detail!"

"Students feel very comfortable with a leopard head bow and it is easy to find the feeling, but the copper bow is not suitable for comfort. It gives people the feeling of being tough, sharp and unstoppable. This feeling is not only against the enemy, but also to me, like a wild horse that is difficult to control."

"But you still control it, aren't you?"

Li Yanqing smiled bitterly, "I can only say that I am afraid of hitting this horse. It dares not resist. It is far from being convinced."

"Give me the bow!" Xu Ning stretched out his hand.

Li Yanqing handed him the bow, and Xu Ning turned around and walked towards a tall green hill tree northeast. Li Yanqing was puzzled and quickly turned over and dismounted and followed quickly.

Xu Ning came to the big tree, placed the bow under the big tree, turned around and asked, "Give me three incense sticks!"

Li Yanqing hurriedly ran to get three incense for shooting targets and handed them to Xu Ning. Xu Ning inserted the incense in front of the copper bow, and then said to Li Yanqing: "I value sacrifice more. I believe you must have never experienced this kind of bow sacrifice. I'm right!"

Li Yanqing nodded silently. He had indeed not experienced such a bow sacrifice ceremony.

"Every big martial arts tree has its name. For example, the two large fir trees at the gate that have been around for hundreds of years are called Gan Jiang and Mo Ye. This green hill tree is called Houyi, also known as the tree of the bow god. It has been more than 300 years. Every martial arts master who practices bows will have to pay tribute to this big tree before learning bows. You are a student and you must have not experienced this step. It is not too late for us to make up for this link now!"

Xu Ning stared at Li Yanqing. Li Yanqing stepped forward and knelt down and respectfully saluted. Xu Ning pulled out the dagger and gently pierced a small mouth on Li Yanqing's arm. A wisp of blood flowed out. He pointed to the bow.

Li Yanqing understood what he meant, and dropped the blood on the copper bow drop by drop, and gently wiped it with his hand, and the blood covered the entire copper bow.

"Go back to bed early! I believe it will bring you good luck tomorrow."

Before dawn the next day, Li Yanqing walked out of the yard as usual, but he found that there were several unknown people hidden in the corner outside the yard. Yanqing couldn't help but stop and shouted: "You all come out!"

"Little official, who are you calling?" Xi Magpie asked in confusion.

Li Yanqing pushed her into the yard and closed the door. Several stone chess was locked in his hands. At this time, four soldiers slowly walked out of the corners of the front, back and left and right, and one of the soldiers came forward and saluted: "We are secretly protecting Li Shaojun under the order of Taiwei Tong, and there is no malice."

"I don't need your protection, you can go back! I appreciate Taiwei Tong's kindness."

"Li Shaojun, we are just following the orders, and we only have today and tomorrow. We will go back after the competition. Please don't make things difficult for us."

Li Yanqing also knew that they would not listen to him. Fortunately, he only spent two days on the court most of his time, so he stopped saying anything, went to the horse shed to get his war horse, and turned over and ran towards the Beidaying.

Li Yanqing met Wang Gui and Niu Gao in front of Chenqiao. Last night, Wang Gui and Niu Gao both entered the top 200, but the rankings were not very good. Wang Gui was 135, Niu Gao was 190, and Bu Gong also decided to score the top 40 today. The two of them were obviously lacking in confidence.

"Where is the fifth brother and Tang Huai?" Li Yanqing asked with a smile when he stopped seeing Yue Fei and Tang Huai.

"Today is the last day of Master Xu's martial arts. Lao Yue wants to learn more marksmanship, and Lao Tang also wants to learn hook and sickle spear. The two of them abandoned us and refused to come."

Seeing Niu Gao’s face frowning, Li Yanqing patted his arm and smiled, "Calling up, you haven’t started a war yet! You lose your morale first."

Niu Gao scratched his head and smiled, "It's not that I don't have morale, I know myself. Anyway, I will do my best today, regardless of whether he can make it to the top forty."

"That's right. It's not too late, let's go!"

"Old Li, let's go to the Alum Tower tonight to have a drink!" Wang Gui smiled.

"Why did you think of going to the alum building?"

"Last night, I heard the damn old Tang brag about how the Alum Tower is, I haven't been there yet!"

Li Yanqing then remembered that his brothers had never been to Alum Tower, so he smiled happily and said, "If I make it to the top ten today, then I will invite everyone to Alum Tower to drink the best wine!"

"No! No! No! I'll treat you tonight."

Li Yanqing put his shoulder and smiled and said, "Next time, please, I'll do it tonight!"

Wang Gui understood what he meant and had to nodded and agreed. Although the Wang family was a top figure in Xiaohe Township, he realized his insignificance after entering the capital. On the contrary, Li Yanqing was able to make a fortune in the capital with his talent and extraordinary ability, which was far from comparable to him. Wang Gui only felt that the gap between him and Li Yanqing was getting bigger and bigger, which really made him feel a little disappointed.

At this moment, a hurried sound of horse hooves came from behind, and someone shouted: "Don't be in power, dodge quickly!"

Everyone turned around and saw a group of foreign cavalry running towards them on horseback. The pedestrians at the city gate were so scared that they stumbled to the sides. They were wearing gilded bronze armor, which was the straight riding and shooting master of the Sixth Class of Xixia.

The leader was a civil servant, and Li Yanqing had also met him. He was Jiao Yanjian, the envoy of the Western Xia Kingdom to Bianjing. He was the leader of the Western Xia Kingdom's arrow warrior.

Jiao Yanjian recognized Li Yanqing at a glance, and quickly stopped the horse and smiled: "Li Shaojun shot very wonderfully yesterday! I wonder how to move the target?"

"Just sloppy!"

"Li Shaojun is too modest. We all think that you should have won the first place yesterday. The officials of the Song Dynasty were too despicable and obviously bullied the Taixue. I wonder if Li Shaojun is interested in traveling to Xixia?"

Li Yanqing bowed slightly and smiled, "I will go, one day I will go to Xixia!"

"If there really is one day, I will definitely introduce Li Shaojun to our King of Xixia."

"I'm afraid there is no need! I will get to know him myself."

Jiao Yanjian didn't understand what Li Yanqing said, so he said vaguely: "I hope we can compete fairly today!"

Jiao Yanjian bowed his fists and urged his horse to run out of the city. He spitted gold but his nostrils were facing the sky, as if he didn't know Li Yanqing at all.

Looking at them walking away, Wang Gui said anxiously: "Old Li, are you really going to Xixia?"

"Is it strange for me to go to Xixia?"

"But Xixia is our enemy country, how can you?"
