Chapter 65: Get some luck
The guards quickly prepared the arrow targets. Each target was tens of meters away. Each person only had five chances. Zhao Hongyu turned to Huo Jiuge and said, "Today we will compete to see who can do it." Shoot farther and more accurately.”

Huo Jiuge nodded. Just as Zhao Hongyu was preparing to set the arrow, Huo Jiuge suddenly interrupted her.

"What else are you going to do?" Zhao Hongyu thought she wanted to run away from the battle, but thinking about it, she was a weak woman who usually didn't even have a chance to hold a crossbow at home, but now she suddenly had to stand in the paddock to compete with herself. She felt... It's normal to be afraid.

Just when Zhao Hongyu was planning to reluctantly agree to her request for mercy, Huo Jiuge said, "Since it's a competition, there should be a bonus after winning, which can be more auspicious."

Zhao Hongyu was speechless for a moment. She didn't expect that Huo Jiuge was asking for the prize from her. Before the competition even started, she had already begun to pay attention to herself. Zhao Hongyu suddenly became angry. As soon as it comes out.

Although she was a woman, she didn't have anything on her body that she could give away like other young ladies. Looking at Huo Jiuge's calm and calm look, Zhao Hongyu impulsively carved the sapphire peonies on her body. He took out the jade pendant.

This was the year before last when she celebrated her birthday. Her mother specially spent a lot of money to find someone to make it custom-made. She held the jade pendant to the sun, and when the shadow fell, she could still see her name.

It was such a precious thing, but she took it out as a bet at this time. In fact, what she was thinking was that a woman who had never even touched an arrow would probably not be able to draw a big bow, let alone hit the target. Okay, this thing is still yours after all.

She waved the jade pendant in front of Huo Jiuge's eyes, and then said, "Is this enough?"

Huo Jiuge could tell at a glance that the jade pendant in her hand was made of the finest jade. She curved her lips and said with a smile, "Ms. Zhao is very generous. You are willing to give up such a precious thing to others."

"Don't worry so much." Seeing that she had coveted her jade pendant, Zhao Hongyu was already furious. She suppressed her emotions and tried hard not to burst out in front of others.

"Where's yours?" Zhao Hongyu put away her jade pendant and asked Huo Jiuge what his bet was.

Huo Jiuge was in the same situation as her. She had nothing on her that could be used as a bet. Zhao Hongyu also had a gift from her mother, but Huo Jiuge didn't have anything valuable here.

She lowered her head, found a piece of paper from herself, and unfolded it. It was the poem she had written before. Although Huo Jiuge had just won No. 1 with it, it was not the same as Zhao Hongyu's jade pendant. Compared to this, this one is obviously a bit unsightly, even stingy.

"You're just using this thing to try to prevaricate me?" Zhao Hongyu looked at her in disbelief, thinking that she was going to bring out something valuable like jewelry, but who knew that she actually brought out her own poem.

Simply deceiving!
Huo Jiuge looked at Zhao Hongyu, who was already on the verge of anger. She smiled humorously: "It's just a bonus, as long as you get the point. There is no need for you to be as wealthy as Miss Zhao."

Zhao Hongyu looked at the person in front of her and felt like a three-year-old child being played by her. However, she was at an age where she liked to act impulsively. After saying hello to Huo Jiuge several times, she stopped paying attention to her.

She put all her anger on the arrow in her hand. Looking at the arrow target in the distance, she seemed to see Huo Jiuge himself standing there. This time, she wanted her to know that there would be no good outcome if she pissed her off. of!
Following the referee's order, the arrow in her hand flew out with a "whoosh" sound, and then to everyone's surprise, her arrow missed the target. The arrow shot from her hand was just a few inches away from the target. It fell less than five centimeters away, and then plunged straight into the ground.

Everyone exclaimed, what on earth is going on?
But Huo Jiuge's attitude was very abnormal. She looked at Zhao Hongyu quietly, knowing that she could have shot the first arrow, but because her words just now angered her, she even took the bow His hands were shaking when he did it, and it seemed that he was very angry with himself.Zhao Hongyu did not give up because of the mistake of the first arrow. She quickly adjusted her mood. After taking a few deep breaths, she shot the second arrow.

The arrow from the string was full of killing intent and headed straight towards the target.

The whole place fell silent, and everyone held their breath as they watched her second arrow. This time she lived up to expectations and hit the target. The person responsible for checking the scores ran up to check the points, and then ran back and told everyone: "Zhao Miss, hit five points.”

The audience burst into thunderous applause. It is very difficult to hit the target from such a long distance, let alone hit the red heart. This is simply extremely difficult, but she, Zhao Hongyu, did it.

Zhao Hongyu did not interrupt her rhythm because of the cheers of the crowd. She quickly shot the third arrow, and this time it hit the target again, which was the fourth point. This was also a good result.

Then came the fourth and fifth arrows, both of which hit the target, at three and four points respectively.

After the referee graded her scores, it was Huo Jiuge's turn.

When Zhao Hongyu came off the stage, she stopped by Huo Jiuge, and then handed her the bow and arrow in her hand. This bow was specially made for her by her father.

Compared to men's bulky crossbows, hers is much lighter, and it also looks particularly good-looking.

As a gift for his daughter, General Zhao naturally put in a lot of effort and found a lot of precious materials. The bow body was made of the finest keel tree, and even the bow tendons were extracted from the main tendons of the deep-sea whales. .

Zhao Hongyu's ability to give up her bow and arrows to Huo Jiuge was enough for her to see that she just wanted to compete with him and had no ill intentions.

Faced with her kindness, Huo Jiuge said, "Thank you, I don't need it."

Then she said and went behind her to take out the bow and arrow that was placed there. This was a bow and arrow used by men. It was half as tall as Huo Jiuge. It looked like she was struggling to hold it, let alone pull it open.

Under everyone's surprised gazes, Huo Jiuge brought it onto the stage. She used her thumb to hook the string, her index finger and middle finger pressed her thumb, and with a little force, the bow unfolded like a full moon. Before anyone could react, , with just a whooshing sound, the arrow in her hand was shot out, and the white feather raised a shining arc, pointing straight at the target.

This made people dumbfounded. Before they could wake up from the surprise that Huo Jiuge knew how to shoot an arrow, the referee's voice came from the distance: "Miss Huo, four points!"

The whole place immediately exploded. Before they could stop discussing, Huo Jiuge shot another arrow, and the arrow hit the target!
