Everyone was silent. According to the agreement, if Mei Yanqiu lost, he would have to plow the fields. Mei Yanqiu represented the scholars. They thought that their status was noble, so they looked down on the farmers. Mei Yan Qiu's defeat was no different from a resounding slap in the face to these arrogant scholars who had only read books and thought highly of themselves.
Zhao Kangning, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly snorted, "Lin San, so what if you win this match? Your couplet skills are not bad, but you used your own strengths to attack Master's weaknesses. Don't you think it's unfair? "
Lin Wanrong smiled faintly. "Fair? Young Prince said it well. Is there really fairness in this world? Everyone was talking with confidence and mocking that hard-working sister-in-law. Based on what? Isn't it because you think your status is higher than others? At that moment, did you think of the word 'fairness'? Now that it's disadvantageous for you, you want fairness. All the good things in this world are taken by others. "
"What a sharp tongue." Zhao Kangning snorted, "You are good at couplets, so you attacked Master with this couplet. Then today, this prince will stand up for Master. Lin San, this prince also wants to fight with you. Don't say that this prince is bullying you. "
Damn, you can't beat me, so you use your bullshit identity as a Young Prince. Lin Wanrong snorted, but he heard the Young Prince say, "Just now, you and Master competed in literature. This prince wants to compete in martial arts with you."
Just as he finished, he heard Luo Ning say in shock, "You can't."
Everyone's eyes fell on her. Luo Ning's face turned red, "There is nothing unfair about Lin San and Master's fight. It's hard to avoid some bruises in martial arts. We came here for sightseeing, so we can't let this spoil our mood. " She knew that Lin Wanrong had some talent, but in terms of martial arts, he was definitely not the Young Prince's opponent. Naturally, she had to stop him.
Zhao Kangning let out a long laugh and said, "Miss Luo misunderstood Little Wang's meaning. The duel I'm talking about isn't a duel between two people, but another kind of competition. "Zhao Kangning waved his hand and shouted," Arrows, come — — "
A few of his subordinates immediately knelt down and presented him with a golden longbow. Zhao Kangning took it and drew the bowstring. He pointed to the forest in front of him and said, "Everyone, look carefully. There is a big tree a hundred steps ahead. Today, I will compete with Lin San in martial arts. The two of us will shoot arrows from a hundred paces away. The one who hits the tree will be the winner, the other will be the loser. "
Everyone suddenly realized that he wanted to compete with Lin Wanrong in archery on horseback. Young Prince Ning's literary talent and martial arts skills were extraordinary. Most of the people present had heard of him. They were all scholars, so they had never seen an arrow hit a tree on horseback. They immediately cheered loudly, wanting to see the legendary archery that could shoot a willow tree a hundred paces away.
A hundred steps? Lin Wanrong looked at the distance. It was about 50 meters. Damn, knowing that I have never shot an arrow before, he just had to come up with this dirty trick. Lin Wanrong snorted in his heart.
Zhao Kangning saw his difficult expression and said with a clear laugh, "Lin San, you beat my benevolent teacher with your strength. As my benevolent teacher's disciple, I will also use my strength to defeat you. Do you dare to accept the challenge?"
Lin Wanrong shook his head and said, "Young Prince, I am just a servant. I don't even ride a horse, not to mention shooting an arrow from a horse. Your competition is indeed very fair."
Zhao Kangning laughed, "You have never shot an arrow before. That's easy. You don't need to use an arrow. You just need to ride a horse a hundred paces away. No matter what move you use, even if you throw a stone and hit the tree, it will be my loss. What do you think? "
The crowd immediately buzzed. Throwing a stone and counting it as the young prince's loss? This young prince was really kind-hearted. This father and son's reputation as a virtuous prince was not in vain. These were all scholars who didn't have the strength to truss a chicken. How could they understand the trick? Throwing a stone and hitting a tree from a hundred paces away was much more difficult than shooting an arrow from a hundred paces away.
Treacherous, Lin Wanrong cursed in his heart. This young prince used the excuse of standing up for his teacher. Not only did he show his filial piety, but even the method of the competition looked very favorable to Lin San in the eyes of outsiders. Once again, it showed his kindness. Damn, he is so much more hypocritical than me.
"Lin San, can you shoot an arrow?" The Young Cousin pulled Lin Wanrong's sleeve and whispered, "Why don't we not compete?"
"I can't." Lin Wanrong shook his head and said, "Young Master, can you shoot an arrow?"
Guo Wuchang shook his head and said, "If it was a pissing competition, I have the confidence to fight. This archery competition is not my forte."
"Lin San, what do you think?" Zhao Kangning said with a smile, "If you give up, I won't make things difficult for you. The bet between you and my teacher will be written off. Your couplet is the best, we all acknowledge it. "
"What if I don't happen to win?" Lin Wanrong laughed and said, "What should I do?"
"You win?" Zhao Kangning smiled lightly and said, "I haven't considered this. How about this, if you really win, from now on, I, Zhao Kangning, will take a detour when I see you. If I can't avoid you, I will treat you with the courtesy of a teacher. Everyone here can bear witness. "
You want to worship me as your teacher? Damn, dream on. Lin Wanrong laughed and said, "Since the Young Prince is so sincere, then fine, I will compete in this match. Although I will lose without a doubt, in order to satisfy the Young Prince's filial piety, I can only give it a try."
When everyone saw that Lin San agreed, they immediately cheered. Luo Ning walked to Lin Wanrong's side and gently pulled his sleeve. She said worriedly, "Brother Lin, this Zhao Kangning has been learning archery since he was young. Don't try to be brave. Be careful not to hurt yourself and make Qiaoqiao worry."
Lin Wanrong nodded and said seriously, "Miss Luo, don't worry about this. Although I'm a bit tough, I'm not a fool. If I can't win, I will definitely run. "
Luo Ning looked at him worriedly. On the other side, Zhao Kangning had already ordered his men to bring out two fine horses, one black and one white. He said to Lin Wanrong, "For the sake of fairness, Lin San, you can pick the first horse. The other one you choose will belong to this little king. "
These two fine horses, one black and one white, were both tall, mighty, handsome and extraordinary. It was very difficult to choose. Lin Wanrong took out a bottle of perfume from his bosom and smeared it fiercely on his right hand. He said with a smile, "My hand smells so good. God bless me to pick a good horse."
The Young Cousin asked curiously, "You can pick a good horse with perfume? Then next time I go to Myo Yuk Square, I will also put on some perfume. "
Putting some perfume on that thing of yours is more like it. Lin Wanrong laughed and walked to the front of the two horses. He was very good at judging people, but he was very poor at judging horses. He touched the black horse with his left hand and the white horse with his right. After touching the two horses' heads and bodies for a long time, he still couldn't pick a good horse. The two horses reacted differently under his hands. The black horse on his left was still quiet, but the white horse on his right was constantly neighing and shaking its head. It seemed to be incompatible with him.
A northern scholar impatiently said, "It's not like you're marrying a wife. Why are you touching them so many times?"
Lin Wanrong laughed and said, "Oh? I wonder how many times this brother touched them when he was marrying a wife? Could it be that he touched them longer than I did? " The crowd roared with laughter. The talented ladies present also blushed and covered their small mouths as they snickered. The scholar's face turned red and he didn't dare to say another word. When it came to bickering, how could he be Lin San's opponent?
Lin Wanrong touched them again before pointing at the black horse and said, "This one has healthier skin and looks as handsome as me. I want this one."
Zhao Kangning smiled and said, "Good. Since that's the case, this white horse belongs to young prince. Lin San, what are you going to use? Arrows? "
You're the one using cheap. Lin Wanrong chuckled and picked up a small stone from the ground. He said, "I'll try this."
The crowd saw that he was really going to use the stone to smash the tree and felt strange. However, he had many strange tricks up his sleeves and everyone was already used to it. Zhao Kangning walked closer to the white horse and touched it twice. The white horse wasn't very docile and kept shaking its head. On the other hand, the black horse beside Lin Wanrong was slightly quieter.
"Lin San, who's going to shoot first?" Zhao Kangning asked as he took the bow from his subordinate.
"Of course you're going to shoot first. I'm very durable." Lin Wanrong said with a smile. The crowd didn't understand what he was saying.
"Good." Zhao Kangning shouted loudly. He pulled the reins with his left hand and flipped onto the horse. He clamped his legs on the horse's back and the white horse immediately let out a neigh. Zhao Kangning was wearing a silver robe and riding a silver horse. He was also very handsome. With this, he looked even more heroic and extraordinary. The talented ladies present were envious as they stared at the young prince.
Lin Wanrong whispered a few words into Guo Wuchang's ear. The Young Cousin nodded his head slightly. Luo Ning stood beside him and asked, "Brother Lin, what did you say to Young Master Guo?"
Lin Wanrong shook his head and laughed, "Oh, I said that this young prince is very elegant, like a prince riding a white horse."
As he spoke, Zhao Kangning cupped his fists at the crowd. He held the bow in his right hand and shook the reins with his left. The white horse flew out like an arrow. One man and one horse, it was an awe-inspiring sight.
Zhao Kangning urged the reins and galloped parallel to the tree. The white horse seemed to be a little hot-tempered as it swayed its head slightly. He didn't care much about it. As he galloped, he found his target. He steadied his body and threw away the reins. He held the bow horizontally and a golden feather arrow was already placed on the bowstring.
The crowd saw him riding on the horse, pulling the bow and the arrow in one go. His movements were very clean and nimble. They immediately cheered loudly. Lin Wanrong's heart also jumped twice. This kid really does have some skill.
Zhao Kangning found his target and pulled the bowstring. He gave a light shout and the golden feather arrow was released. Who would have thought that the white horse suddenly neighed loudly. The horse's head kept swaying and its front hooves were in the air. The golden feather arrow was shot out but it missed by quite a bit. It brushed against the edge of the tree and brought along a few pieces of bark as it flew away.
When Zhao Kangning shot the arrow, he relied entirely on his body to keep his balance. The white horse suddenly jumped and he was caught off guard. His body was falling rapidly. Fortunately, his horse skills were outstanding. When his face was about to hit the ground, he hurriedly hooked his legs to the stirrups to prevent himself from falling flat on his face. Even so, half of his face was already on the ground. His hair was in a mess and he was in a sorry state.
"The young prince fell off his horse. Everyone go and save him." Lin Wanrong was overjoyed. Guo Wuchang had already started shouting at the top of his lungs.
