Chapter 96
Li Jiao's face was flushed, and he shot two more arrows, consecutive shots to the sky, but even missed a single arrow.

There was a dead silence all around.Most people bought Li Jiao to win, and if he lost, they would be bankrupt.Furthermore, Liang Xiao was from Jiangdu after all, and to the people of Chang'an, he was from another country.Li Jiao's family is in Longyou, but it is a part of Guanzhong and the edge of Gyeonggi, so they have a sense of identity.His father is the famous General Lee, and the audience naturally wants him to win psychologically.

After shooting three empty arrows in a row, Li Jiao suffered a serious loss at the start. Of the four arrows shot in the first round, only the last arrow remained. If Li Jiao missed again, it would be embarrassing.

No one spoke, so as not to affect Li Jiao.However, this silence increased the pressure on Li Jiao.His breathing was a little disturbed, and his face was flushed.He held the bow in his hand and hooked the string, but he didn't dare to pull it away for a long time.

Liang Xiao smiled.Li Jiao glared at him fiercely, but it was hard to say.He couldn't stop Liang Xiao from laughing.

"What are you panicking!" A voice shouted from the side.The crowd dispersed to both sides, and Li Guang and Li Danghu walked over side by side.Li Guang's face was calm, but his eyes were serious.He glanced at Liang Xiao, then turned his gaze back to Li Jiao's face. "It's just a competition. There's no need to be nervous. If you lose in the competition, you can win it back. If you lose your mind, what's the use of ten years of hard training?"

Seeing Li Guang appear, Li Jiao shivered involuntarily, and even dared not breathe when listening to Li Guang's words.Liang Xiao couldn't help being amused. It seemed that the Li family's tutoring was quite strict. Li Guang was probably a wolf father. The sons were very energetic outside, but they were very cute in front of him.

Strange to say, after Li Guang finished speaking, although Li Jiao's face was still a little pale, his eyes became firm.He stared at the Arrow Hou in the distance, adjusted his breathing, raised his bow and drew the string, and shot an arrow without hesitation.

Hit the arrow!

"Win!" The winner raised the small flag in his hand and shouted.

The surrounding crowd couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, as if they had let go of a heavy burden.

Hearing the winner's shout, Li Jiao also breathed out a foul breath, took a step back, and cupped his hands and said, "Please!" His eyes were fierce, but his etiquette was not messed up in the slightest.

Liang Xiao secretly sighed, this family of archery is different, at least in terms of psychological quality.Just because of Li Guang's shout, Li Jiao calmed down.It's different for a child with a father. No matter what time it is, I'm as strong as a mountain, able to withstand the collapse of the sky.

Liang Xiao knew that he had met a formidable enemy, so he didn't dare to be careless. He adjusted his breathing, concentrated his attention, closed his eyes, and let himself enter the state of "with a bow in his hand, but without a bow in his heart".After more than a year of practice, he is now relatively proficient.

The surrounding crowd all closed their mouths in unison.Although they all hoped that Li Jiao would win, they were unwilling to win by disturbing Liang Xiao. To do so would be an unforced victory, and as people from Chang'an, they disdain to do it.Not only to win, but also to win aboveboard.

Although there were hundreds of people watching, Liang Xiao couldn't hear any noise.He adjusted his mentality, raised his bow and shot.

Unlike Li Jiao who shoots an arrow and stops for a while, he doesn't wait for the winner to report whether he hits or not, and shoots four arrows in one breath.

The four arrows flew towards Jianhou like piercing beads, drawing an arc in the air, arousing exclamations from the crowd.Regardless of whether he could hit the target or not, Liang Xiao's shooting speed was also surprising.

"Shock! Hit!" The winner glanced at Jianhou and shouted twice in a row.

Liang Xiao breathed a sigh of relief.Four arrows hit two arrows, and the performance is not bad.

Li Guang was a little surprised. "I haven't seen you for a few days, and his speed of shooting arrows is faster."

Li Danghu replied: "After Weiyang Lang took office that day, his confidence seems to have increased a lot, and he practiced harder."

Li Guang turned his head to look at Liang Yu who was standing beside him. "Is that Liang Xiao's mother?"

"Yes."

Li Guang stretched out his arms to hold the cloak, walked up to Liang Yu, and bowed his hands in salute. "Mrs. Liang? Li Guang is on the right side of Xialong."

Seeing Li Guang approaching, Liang Yu, who has always been generous, was a little uneasy, her face flushed slightly, and she bowed to return the salute. "My concubine is right, I have met General Li."

"Mrs. Liang, you teach your children well. Liang Xiao has talent and is willing to endure hardships. He will surely have great achievements in the future."

"Thank you, General Li." Liang's face turned redder, her eyes lit up, she stared at Li Guang closely, like a star chaser saw a superstar she had admired for a long time, showing a bit of girlish shyness. "I am a concubine, thank you General Li for your praise."

Although Li Guang was a little surprised, he didn't pay much attention to it.For him, this gaze has been through too much.He nodded politely, turned around and walked back to Li Gan, and questioned him in a low voice.As soon as he left, the light in Liang Yu's eyes quickly faded.She was silent for a moment, biting her lip lightly.

"Rongqing, the wind is a bit strong, I'll go back to the car."

Li Rongqing was engrossed in watching the game, and didn't pay attention to Liang Yu, so she responded casually.

The game is still going on.Although he was an arrow behind after the first shot, Li Jiao didn't panic. He shot again, and this time he played well, hitting two of the four arrows.However, Liang Xiao was unlucky, the four arrows only hit one arrow, and the other arrow passed through the middle of the two thongs tied to the arrow, and only missed it.

After two rounds of shooting, the two hit three arrows each. The results were not satisfactory, but the situation became tense again.The two returned to the same starting point again, whoever wins depends on the final round.

The last round of shooting is different from the first two rounds. Instead of shooting four arrows per person, each person shoots one arrow alternately, which is a greater psychological test for people.

Liang Xiao and Li Jiao took four arrows each, and the corner of Li Jiao's mouth twitched: "This time, it's a pity that you can't use the four-ball burst."

"I'm not sorry." Liang Xiao hid the knife in his smile. "As you can see, I hit an arrow and missed. Now we are on the same starting line again. If you lose again, you can't blame me."

Li Jiao smiled even more proudly. "Don't worry, even if I lose, I don't blame you. If you still want to say something now, it's okay to say it. You can see if I will be influenced by you. In fact, as long as you are willing to stop using my Li family's reputation to talk about things, I don't want your ten gold."

Liang Xiao laughed and said: "You can see that I am not short of the ten gold. But that green horse is rare, and I am determined to get it."

The smile on Li Jiao's face disappeared when he mentioned Qingcong Ma. "That depends on whether you have the ability."

"I will do my best."

Li Jiao snorted, ignored Liang Xiao, and shot with his bow.An arrow flies over a hundred steps, but it misses the target, and it is still a few feet away from the arrow.Li Jiao regretted seeing the winner waving the flag.He was still influenced by Liang Xiao just now, so he shot the arrow a little hastily.

"Concession!" Liang Xiao laughed.

"You're welcome." Li Jiao gritted his teeth and said viciously, "I gave you a chance, and it depends on whether you can seize it."
