Great Han Arrow God

Chapter 80
Facing the enthusiastic officials, although Liang Xiao was a little flustered, he refused to be defeated, and the sarcasm on his face became stronger.

He knew very well that the Han people looked down on cowards the most, let alone these young officials with high-sighted eyes.The people who can guard the Weiyang Palace are definitely outstanding people who are carefully selected from all over the world. They are not only superb in martial arts, but also have a clean family background, which is the so-called good family. Being with them, being weak and timid is not acceptable.

He would rather be beaten up by a group today, his nose bruised and eyes swollen, his head bruised, and carried out, than he can say a soft word and be thrown out.Otherwise, it would be difficult for him to gain a foothold in Chang'an in the future, and he would be looked down upon by Liu Che, and the opportunity he had waited so hard for would be in vain.

Thinking of this, Liang Xiao's waist straightened even more.He turned around, took the bow from Tu Niu'er's hand, put it on the ground, bent the bow hard, and hung it up. He also took a bag of arrows from Tu Niu'er's hand, carried it on his back, and slowly looked around.

"General Li said that Weiyanglang has a heavy responsibility to protect the emperor, and he will not leave anyone idle. Since you are all Weiyanglang, you must be outstanding archers. Liang Xiao is not talented, and I want to compete with you. Let's see General Li Is it true, or deliberately making things difficult.”

All the officials looked at each other, their momentum suddenly weakened.Their archery skills are indeed not bad, but if they want to shoot a target a hundred steps away, they are not sure.They all knew that Li Guang's request was indeed something difficult, but no one thought that this kid who had just learned how to ride a horse would dare to challenge all of them, and accused Li Guang of making things difficult for him.

This is a prickly head!While the officials were angry, they were a little more curious and appreciative of Liang Xiao.

"I'm coming!" A young Lang Guan squeezed out from the crowd, walked up to Liang Xiao, looked at Liang Xiao, and couldn't help being startled.He looked at Liang Xiao, then at Li Danghu, licked his lips, his eyes were a little weird.

He is Li Guang's youngest son, Li Danghu's younger brother Li Gan, who is also a member of Weiyang Langzhong.

"Third brother, step back!" Li Danghu yelled, walked up to Li Guang, and said a few words in a low voice.Before Li Danghu finished speaking, Li Guang sneered, pushed him aside, walked up to Liang Xiao, and said with a contemptuous smile: "I don't see that you are a bit courageous. If so, dare to compete with me ?”

Liang Xiao sized him up and curled his lips. "Don't worry, general. After competing with the officials under your command one by one, I will fight the general myself."

"Competition one by one?" Li Guang was stunned. "You're going to take on all of them?"

"Of course, only in this way can we know whether the general's words are true." Liang Xiao turned around, faced the Arrow Hou who was a hundred steps away, and drew out four arrows. The bow pointed to the ground, took a deep breath, drew the bow to the full, and shot an arrow with a "swish".

The bow is like a full moon, and the arrow is like a shooting star.Liang Xiao shot four arrows in one breath, only one arrow hit, and three arrows missed.

There was booing, and the officials unabashedly expressed their contempt, and some even mocked unceremoniously: "Yo-this archery is really accurate."

"Haha, you can't blame him, he only taught him after his master was abolished."

Li Guang shook his head and glared at Li Danghu.Li Danghu was also a little worried.This distance was obviously beyond Liang Xiao's controllable range, and according to this situation, Liang Xiao was likely to make a big fool of himself.In this way, I am afraid that the emperor will be disappointed.

Liang Xiao did not panic, took two breaths, drew out four arrows again, and shot four arrows in succession.This time, two of the four arrows hit Jianhou.

The laughter around them became weaker, and the officials looked at each other, feeling a little lacking in confidence.Li Danghu breathed a sigh of relief, but Li Guang's eyes showed a strange color, and he was a little more interested.

Seeing that the two arrows hit the target, Liang Xiao was determined.

So far, the most he has practiced is [-] steps, and his hit rate has remained above [-]%.I haven't practiced much on targets beyond a hundred paces, and the hit rate is not high, only around [-] to [-]%, and when I'm lucky, it can reach [-]%.However, he is very confident in today's competition, because he believes that it is impossible for all these officials to be better than him.

The distance of ordinary people's bow shooting is sixty steps, and if six arrows are shot out of twelve arrows, it is considered qualified.Eighty steps is a bit difficult for ordinary people, but the bow and hundred steps, with a hit rate of more than [-]%, is definitely a master.These Langguans are carefully selected outstanding ones, and they must be better than ordinary people. Sixty steps are not difficult, and eighty steps are also sure, but it is a bit dangerous to reach one hundred steps.

At such a distance, even Li Guang, who is known for being good at shooting, can't hit every shot, let alone these Langguans.

Even if his remaining four arrows all miss and only three of his twelve arrows hit, he still has the confidence to beat one or two people.Even if he can only win one, he can prove that Li Guang is making things difficult for him and talking big.What's more, after shooting eight arrows, he is familiar with the environment here, and he is sure to hit at least one more arrow, increasing his hit rate to more than [-]%.

Liang Xiao's mind is calm and calm, his mind is still on his feet, as stable as Mount Tai.An arrow shot out, right in the middle of the arrow!

"Oh—" A few sighs came to mind.After this arrow hit, Liang Xiao's hit rate had already exceeded [-]%, victory was in sight, and it was already impossible for them to win.

"Whoosh!" Liang Xiao fired another arrow, which hit again.

There was a depressing sigh, mixed with a few curses.Liang Xiao has already hit five arrows, more than one-third of Lang Guan.

Li Danghu breathed a sigh of relief.At this point, Liang Xiao has saved his face, and no one will laugh at him anymore.Such a result, even he is not [-]% sure.He glanced at his third brother Li Gan, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.Li Gan stuck out his tongue and made a face in embarrassment.

Li Guang snorted, noncommittal.

Liang Xiao turned a blind eye, listened but didn't hear, and entered the state of mind of "with a bow in his hand, but without a bow in his heart", without even a little excitement.With a movement of his fingers, he hitched another arrow, staring at the arrow in the distance with both eyes, took a deep breath, leaned his body slightly, his spine was like a bow, and released it when it was full.

The bowstring trembled, and the feather and arrow left the string, hitting Zhenghu in the middle of the arrow.

"Zhonghu!" Li Gan exclaimed.

In the Han Dynasty, the arrows were rectangular, and the middle part was called Zheng, also known as the swan. Hitting the swan is equivalent to the eight or nine rings of later generations, which is very rare.

Li Guang stared at Liang Xiao, his eyes narrowed slightly, and the strangeness in his eyes became more intense.The onlookers all shut their mouths in unison.It is not easy to hit the target from a hundred steps away, and only a few of them can do it.Even if Liang Xiao hit Zhenghu by accident, it was enough to prove that his flute skills had surpassed at least half of Langguan, and he had the strength to challenge Li Guang.

Six arrows hit the target, and one arrow hit the target, Liang Xiao was holding the winning ticket, he was determined, and the last trace of nervousness disappeared.The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, he closed his eyes, and exhaled.A moment later, he suddenly opened his eyes, nocked the arrow at a lightning speed, drew the string, and drew the bow. His body was slightly tilted up, and his spine was like a bow.

Release when full.

"Buzz!" The bowstring rang softly.

"Whoosh!" The feathered arrow left the string, and the arrow feathers fluttered like a frightened bird coming out of water.

"Crack!" The feather arrow hit the center of Arrow Hou, and the leather Arrow Hou was pierced by the arrow, making a soft "chick".

The Lang officials gasped in unison, dumbstruck.Li Gan shouted excitedly: "It's in!"

The center of the hu is called the quality, also known as the "de", which is often said to be "the one that hits the arrow". The one that is shot is equivalent to the ten rings of later generations. To some extent, it is beyond the skill of archery. It's decided, and with good luck.

Not only is Liang Xiao superb at archery, but he is also extremely lucky.At this moment, even if Li Guang accepted the challenge, he might not be sure of defeating him.

Many Langguan lamented in their hearts.I didn't check the weather when I went out today, bad luck, otherwise, how could I encounter such a weird thing, someone was shot by an arrow, and it was a colleague who reported for the first time.

Not only the Lang officials were full of emotions, but even Liang Xiao himself was very surprised.All four arrows hit!This is a super-level performance that he has never encountered in his usual practice, and it is really unstoppable when luck comes.

Liang Xiao didn't look at Li Guang and the others, he drew his bow and took a step back, then waited silently.

There was silence all around, only the sound of heavy breathing, but no one spoke.A series of surprised, angry, or helpless eyes fell on Liang Xiao's face.Many Langguan blushed, their eyes were about to burst into flames.This seemingly unremarkable, even a little rude boy actually has such shooting skills?In a hundred steps, twelve arrows hit seven arrows, and one arrow hit the target, one arrow hit the target, the luck was too good to believe.

This competition had just started, before the officials raised their bows, Liang Xiao won, and he won cleanly, leaving no room for error.

Li Guang was very embarrassed.He didn't expect Liang Xiao to be so tough, and he didn't expect Liang Xiao's shooting skills to be so superb.He glared at Li Danghu, very annoyed.

Li Danghu was also very helpless, facing the unreasonable Lao Tzu, he could only smile wryly.He knew Liang Xiao's temper and archery skills, he tried to stop it, but failed.At this point, he has no way to recover.

Li Guang's second son, Li Gan, looked at Jianhou in the distance, and then at Li Danghu, his face was hot.He intends to step forward to rescue his father, but he knows that with such a long distance, he can't shoot such a result at all, and it would be embarrassing to go up.

Liang Xiao waited for a while, but no one came forward to try shooting.He smiled slightly, cupped his hands at Li Guang, turned around and left.Although he didn't say anything, this laugh was like a slap in the face, slapping Li Guang and all the officials on the face.

Li Danghu shook his head, chased him out, and grabbed Liang Xiao. "Brother Liang stay here."

Liang Xiao stopped in his tracks and said with a wry smile: "Brother Li, it's not that I don't want to stay, you've also seen it, it's that your father doesn't want me. When we first met, he gave me such a slap in the face. Is the Weiyang Gonglang Office established?"

Li Danghu hesitated to speak.He thought about it. "How about this, I'll take you to find a place to live first, and I'll talk about the admission later. My father is a soldier, and his nature is like this. Brother Liang, please don't forget."

"Brother Li, don't worry, I still admire your father as always. However, we don't hit it off, so I'm afraid it will be difficult to work together."

Li Danghu smiled wryly, and secretly sighed.Things have developed to this point, which is beyond his expectation.For a while, he didn't have any good countermeasures.He took Liang Xiao out of the city, walked into a house named Wanhu not far from the city gate, and came to a small courtyard.

"Brother Liang, you will be on duty in the palace in the future, and it is very inconvenient to live too far away. The Marquis of Pingyang ordered me to pick out a residence for you. Although it is not very big, it is quite clean. It is very suitable for your family to live in. "

Just as Liang Xiao was about to speak, the door of the courtyard next door opened, and a big man came out bent over, took a look, and yelled: "Liang Xiao, you have caused me so much suffering!"

Liang Xiao looked up. Isn't this Dongfang Shuo who would change wives as soon as they met? He also lives here.

If Liang Xiao hits the target with an arrow, Lao Zhuang asks for recommendation; if Liang Xiao hits the target with an arrow, Lao Zhuang asks for collection!
