Chapter 274 The Liao and Song Dynasties meet to test the shooting garden, and the teeth in the big stone forest extinguish hundreds of candles
The affirmation from Yelu Dashi caused an uproar all around.
All kinds of noises became more and more lively.
"Come for the test." Li Yunze, who knew Yelu Dashi's intentions, immediately scolded him, "I will continue to do whatever I want. I'm talking nonsense there, just like a woman."
Zhao Ji on the side stroked his beard and smiled. He was indeed a military commander of the Song Dynasty.
Although he looked good in appearance and imposing manner, he was so rude and rude, which was completely in line with the impression of the Song Army general in everyone's mind.
Xiao Xiao's plan was easily resolved, and Yelu Dashi's heart became even more solemn.
If Li Yunze was from Liao, he would definitely make friends with him and even become his brother.
But the person in front of him was from the Song Dynasty. Even though the Liao and Song Dynasties had not had a war for many years, they were still threatening countries.
Yelu Dashi was still thinking about how to set another trap, but Li Yunze waved his hands impatiently, "If you want to fight, then fight. If you don't dare to fight, just admit that the Liao people can't beat the Song people. Here, I kowtow to the Song people all over the world."
The three heads apologize."
"Qing family, please be at peace." Zhao Ji pretended to be a good person. "The Song Dynasty and the Liao Kingdom are brothers, and the envoys from the Liao Kingdom are guests. How can they be so humiliated? Just compete, no need to argue with words."
Li Yunze despised the waste in his heart and didn't even dare to say harsh words.
Among the crowd, King Yun Zhao Kai smiled and asked his eldest brother, Prince Zhao Huan, "Brother, who do you think will win?"
The reason is very simple. No one is optimistic that Li Yunze can beat Yelu Dashi in mounted archery.
At this time, Li Yunze didn't pay attention to Yelu Dashi at all, and was still busy making gestures with Zhao Fujin, making flirtatious looks.
‘Is it because I don’t care or because I’m scared’
Yelu Dashi, who got full marks, looked at Li Yunze with great satisfaction. Now all the pressure fell on Li Yunze.
There was a burst of laughter below, and it felt like Li Yunze had greatly increased Huang Song's momentum.
"If there is a competition on horseback and archery, people should be ordered to arrange a few benches in the racecourse, light candles on them, and use arrows to extinguish the candles to decide the outcome. This will be a sign of friendship."
Just like Yelu Dashi thought that strong men from other countries would look for opportunities to kill them, Li Yunze thought the same way.
It would be much safer if there were such fierce generals guarding us.
Cai Jing, who had followed, finally said, "The official family, Song and Liao are brothers. You can compete if you want, but don't go too far."
No, no, he is definitely not a rude and arrogant person, but why do you pretend to be so?'
He also performed exceptionally well under pressure.
After turning around a few times, Yelu Dashi began to speed up his horse, drew out a sharp arrow, nocked it from his bow and galloped out with a 'whoosh' sound.
The sharp arrow passed over the flames of a row of candles, directly extinguishing ten candles in the row!
The onlookers were all dumbfounded. No one expected that there would be such a wonderful archery skill in the world. It was really shocking.
Yelu Dashi looked at Li Yunze carefully, his expression extremely solemn.
Thinking of this, Zhao Huan looked at Li Yunze who stood out from the crowd.
Seeing this scene, Zhao Fujin secretly bit his lips and stamped his feet.
"OK."
"Dashi Linya." He gestured to Yelu Dashi with his hands, "You can compete however you want, with eighteen weapons such as swords, guns, swords and halberds, or with bows and horses, riding and shooting, or simply using fists, it's up to you."
This bastard, the third child, is trying to trick me.
Zhao Fujin subconsciously looked at Li Yunze on the horse not far away, but was shocked to see him licking his fingernails with his head down.
If the timing hadn't been right, he would have wanted to go directly and kill all the savages.
Jiulang Zhao Gou, who was not far away, smiled and interjected sideways, "Young lady, you don't know something. For people with their archery skills, it's normal for them to destroy ten candles with one arrow."
Looking at Yelu Dashi's suppressed face that turned into the color of pig's liver, Zhao Ji felt so happy that he felt bad.
When it comes to riding and shooting, Li Yunze has ridden more horses than he has ever seen!
The banquet hall in front of us is naturally not a place for horse riding and shooting competitions. Fortunately, there is Nuo Da's shooting garden next to it. With Zhao Ji leading the way, everyone swarmed to the shooting garden next to it.
Zhao Fujin was inexplicably worried here.
When Zhao Ji looked over, he was not angry, but asked slightly worriedly, "Qing family, it's your turn. Do you have any concerns?"
Before he finished speaking, Prince Zhan Shigeng Nanzhong, who was not far away and was always paying attention to him, coughed heavily.
Zhao Fujin, who was secretly relieved, raised his hand and tapped the girl's nose with a smile, "This is good, so that no one gets hurt."
Five years ago, the young and energetic Yelu Dashi would have definitely not hesitated to challenge Li Yunze to a life-or-death showdown.
While he was thinking, he saw Li Yunze over there suddenly turned to look at him, with a smile in his eyes and turning the pages of the book with his hands.
He could see that Li Yunze's confidence was definitely not blind, but real confidence.
When they arrived at Shepu, the imperial army had already arranged a racecourse and brought in more than ten horses to wait for selection.
Zhao Huan was also helpless. He had only been the crown prince for a long time, and his brothers were already unable to bear it. They resorted to countless conspiracies and tricks, and they were willing to kill him.
Unexpectedly, Li Yunze over there agreed without any hesitation.
After all, the Song Dynasty was weak in literature, and even if its military commanders were capable, they did not show their abilities. It was normal to be shocked when seeing Yelu Dashi's performance.
In just a quarter of an hour, the numerous eunuchs and maids were already properly arranged.
In front of officials, Liang Shicheng worked extremely efficiently.
Zhao Ji didn't care about this and waved his hand to Liang Shicheng to make arrangements.
Zhao Ji didn't care about Li Yunze's life or death, he only cared about not losing his own face.
"Are you rude and arrogant?" Maode Diji Zhao Fujin looked softly at Li Yunze who was standing not far away with his hands behind his back, but the previous scene in the library came to mind.
If Li Yunze loses, her father who has lost face will probably be angry.
Unexpectedly, Yelu Dashi kept staring at Li Yunze.
To be honest, he really didn't care whether he was riding a gun or shooting candles, so he looked at Yelu Dashi.
After much deliberation, I am still best at riding and shooting.
Now, if you are half-baked, you have no courage and no tactful skills.
Everyone's eyes also fell on Li Yunze.
Zhao Huan, who tried hard to show himself mature and steady, subconsciously responded, "If it's a martial arts competition, it's hard to say, but if it's riding and shooting, the Liao people are on horseback all year round."
Otherwise, various problems may occur when running quickly.
Once these words reached the ears of officials, they would definitely be greatly disgusted.
Thinking of this, Zhao Huan immediately glared at Zhao Kai.
Some people in the Song Dynasty also admired his exquisite shooting skills, but they did not dare to cheer. After all, this was a competition between the two countries.
Over there, Li Yunze and Yelu Dashi had already selected their bows and arrows and calmed their horses.
Liang Shicheng stepped forward and saluted and said, "Thirty tables were placed, and ten candles were lit on each table, a total of three hundred. Each of the two warriors had a pot with thirty arrows. Whoever shot out the most candles
The one who wins."
"Official family."
The master is very good, but he is a weak man.
The look Li Yunze gave him back had only one meaning: 'I'm going to kill you today!'
Zhao Ji nodded and stroked his beard after hearing this, "Yes. I am a guest from afar. Please come first."
Zhao Huanhuan responded with a smile, "Brother Ninth also likes archery. Sure enough, he knows this."
Even Yelu Dashi himself breathed a sigh of relief.
As the prince of the Song Dynasty, he said in front of everyone that the warriors of the Song Dynasty were not as good as those of the Liao Kingdom.
Moreover, the Song Dynasty is short of horses. The person in front of me may be a real strong man, but he is definitely not as good as himself in riding and shooting.
The strong sense of danger made Yelu Dashi immediately agree after hearing Cai Jing's suggestion.
Zhao Huanhuan, who was among the onlookers, shook Fifth Sister's arm and asked, "Fifth Sister, how can thirty arrows shoot out three hundred candles?"
After thinking carefully for a while, Yelu Dashi said in a deep voice, "In that case, then you and I will compete in riding and shooting."
Five years later, he would choose to use a more secretive method, such as borrowing a knife to kill someone, to get rid of Li Yunze. Because he would be more mature by then.
It is not easy to ride a strange horse, even if it is trained, it must be comforted and communicated with at a minimum.
After Yelu Dashi had adjusted his physical condition, he took a deep breath and immediately got on his horse.
Yelu Dashi, who was going all out over there, finally shot the last arrow and successfully extinguished the ten candles in the last row.
Among the onlookers, the pretty and charming Zhao Huanhuan hugged the fifth sister's arm and asked, "Why are you putting up candles again?"
Holding a bow and arrow in his hand, he rode his horse and ran around the thirty-card table.
It's really bad, I'm wasting my time worrying about him.
Thirty arrows extinguished three hundred candles. Such a brilliant shot really stunned the crowd.
Zhao Kai, who was always said to be smart, didn't care and moved away with a smile.
Zhao Ji frowned slightly and asked, "What do you mean by the Qing family?"
To be honest, Cai Jing really arranged to shoot candles just to help Li Yunze speak up.
Among the group of emperors and queens, Emperor Roufu happily approached Fifth Sister's ear and whispered, "Fifth Sister, this person is so rude and arrogant."
He is a leader among nomads, and Li Yunze, no matter how fierce he is, is from a farming background. How can he win in what his opponent is best at?
The people in the Liao envoy all cheered and applauded Yelu Dashi.
Wouldn't it be a pity if he was shot to death by an arrow from Na Yelu Dashi.
The subtext is 'Can you do it? If not, don't go up and be embarrassed. Now find a way to avoid it because of a headache, stomachache, leg cramps, etc. There is something wrong with the dish you ate before. Once you go on the court and lose, there is no room for change.
Already.'
After receiving the teacher's reminder, Prince Zhao Huan suddenly came to his senses.
Before Li Yunze could say anything, Gao Qiu, who was in a good mood, said loudly, "Wu Erlang! I, the Song Dynasty, have all my face on you. You must not let the officials down!"
There is no doubt that he wants to completely nail Li Yunze's coffin board.
After all, Yelu Dashi got full marks, and Li Yunze would be tied at most, but if he missed once, he would be dead!
Li Yunze smiled casually, glanced contemptuously at the proud Gao Qiu, and said a casual word as he rode forward.
"Seeing the sharp shooting of the big stone forest teeth, Lieutenant Gao was so happy that people who didn't know would think that you are the King of Nanyuan of Liao Kingdom."
