She wants to compete in the crossbow?
Liang Jiaotou looked at her inquisitively. Cheng Lisu whispered, "Liang Jiaotou, is there anything else to compete in the crossbow?"
Liang Jiaotou shook his head, "This … I don't know." There were many competitions in the crossbow, but they were mostly the same. He Yan had already shot Flying Bird just now, so it shouldn't be difficult for him to compete in the other competitions. But what she meant was that she was definitely going to win against Wang Ba. But was there anything that Wang Ba couldn't do that she could do alone?
Wang Ba was stunned at first, but then he scoffed disapprovingly, "Go ahead and say it!"
At most, he would say that it was a tie, he thought.
He Yan smiled and walked to Cheng Lisu's side. Suddenly, he reached out and pulled the hair band that bound Cheng Lisu's long hair.
Cheng Lisu was stunned. By the time he reacted, his long hair was already loose. He said, "What are you doing?"
"I'm sorry, brother," He Yan smiled, "Since you want to become sworn brothers with me, I don't think you'll be stingy with a hair band. Let me borrow yours."
"But I can …" Cheng Lisu carelessly ran his hands through his hair and muttered, "This is too sudden. Besides, why don't you use your own hair band?" He Yan obviously had one too.
"I see that brother's hair band is much more exquisite than mine. Maybe I got lucky and borrowed some of your luck." He Yan lied without batting an eyelid.
Who didn't like to hear nice words? Cheng Lisu immediately beamed with joy, "Well said, well said! Just use it! "
Everyone didn't understand why he took Cheng Lisu's hair band. They watched as He Yan slowly wrapped the hair band around his hands and covered his eyes.
"He's …" Everyone gradually understood what he was doing.
The yellow hair band covered her eyes tightly. She reached behind her head and gently tied a knot, then said, "It's done."
He Yan didn't use his or the others' hair bands because it was a hot day. They had run and practiced archery, so they were already covered in sweat. The people in the barracks weren't particular about it, so their hairbands were more or less stained. However, this nephew of Xiao Jue was different. Looking at the brand-new clothes he was wearing, which still carried a fragrance, and his hair tie was also as neat as new. He was exactly the same as his uncle who was obsessed with cleanliness. Presumably, he would be much cleaner to use.
Perhaps it was cleaner than He Yan's own clothes. Now that he had tied the hairband, he thought that as expected, it actually carried a faint scent of rosin.
He Yan sighed in his heart. They were indeed uncle and nephew.
"He Yan, what are you trying to do?" Wang Ba asked with a frown. He had a guess in his heart, but he didn't dare to admit it.
"Let's shoot arrows blindfolded," she said.
The Martial Arts Practice Field gradually quieted down. The summer wind blew by, blowing the long end of her hair ribbon, making the scarlet-clothed youth look a bit more elegant. With a smile on her lips, she held the longbow in her hand and faced Wang Ba's direction. "This round, I will definitely win against you."
She said these four words calmly and decisively, as if she had already predicted the outcome.
Wang Ba's face turned green and white. Before he could speak, someone else spoke first. His tone was full of doubt. "Blindfolded archery? What are you shooting? Grass targets? "
He Yan shook her head and slightly raised her head. She was blindfolded, so she shouldn't be able to see the sky. However, when she raised her head, it was as if she could see the traces of mountain sparrows flying in the sky. She said, "Just like before, I will hunt mountain sparrows."
The crowd was in an uproar.
She was actually so conceited. But was she really conceited?
He Yan turned to face Wang Ba again. She smiled and asked, "Can I?"
Can I? These two words were just like when Liang Jiaotou asked her that question. She answered readily, "Can I?" Now, the two words "Can I?" were already at the tip of his tongue, but Wang Ba couldn't say it.
Whether he was a bandit or went up the mountain to hunt and kill people, it was all for a purpose. Blindfolded archery, he wasn't blind. It was meaningless to do such a thing. He wasn't the son of a rich family, so it was a novelty. If he was very confident in his bow and arrow skills, then the competition method He Yan proposed was the one he was least confident in.
He couldn't do it at all.
Wang Ba looked at He Yan. He Yan didn't urge him to quickly give him the result. However, the surrounding recruits were also sizing him up with various expressions, making it difficult for Wang Ba to back down. Could it be that he was going to be humiliated by a yellow-haired brat here today in front of everyone? If word got out, he would be called a bandit leader who didn't even dare to answer a child's question.
"Fine!" He gritted his teeth and said. However, he felt lucky. Maybe He Yan was also tricking him. This brat had always been cunning and strange. Maybe he couldn't do it himself. However, he deliberately acted as if he was extremely confident. He wanted to trick him into giving up and admitting defeat before him.
Tsk, he wouldn't fall for it!
"For this round, you go first!" Wang Ba said to him.
The youth smiled again. Her posture was light and agile. She nodded and spat out two words, "Fine."
Beside the stage in the martial arts field, there was a pavilion. The pavilion was next to the Liangzhou Guard Station. It was high up and could see the entire martial arts field.
There were two people standing in front of the pavilion, looking at the youth who was surrounded by the recruits from afar.
One of them was wearing red clothes with a black belt around his waist. It was Shen Han. The youth beside him was as cold as ice and had an indifferent expression. It was Xiao Jue.
"I didn't expect that there would be two good seedlings in this batch of recruits." Shen Han sighed and said, "That Wang Ba doesn't need to be mentioned. Although he was born a bandit and is unruly and difficult to tame, his bow and arrow skills are indeed exquisite and he has extraordinary strength. However, the most surprising one is the youth called He Yan. He's only 15 or 16 years old, but he's already so outstanding. His temperament is gentle and lovable. After a few more years of growth, he will definitely become one of the best in this batch of recruits. "
He thought of the conversation he had with Liang Ping. At that time, Liang Ping thought highly of He Yan, but Shen Han didn't take it to heart. It was because he thought He Yan's aptitude was too ordinary and not worth paying attention to. He didn't expect that he would almost miss a good seedling.
He saw that Xiao Jue didn't respond, so he carefully probed, "What do you think, commander-in-chief?"
"Gentle temperament?" The youth slowly repeated. After a moment, he said, "I'm afraid you've misjudged. The one who is unruly is not Wang Ba, it's He Yan. "
He Yan? Shen Han was a little doubtful. He had seen the youth a few times and he always had a smile on his face. Wang Ba had provoked him several times, but he didn't get angry. To be honest, a child at this age was hot-blooded and would start a fight if there was a disagreement. He Yan was already very restrained and gentle.
Commander-In-Chief actually said that He Yan was unruly and difficult to tame? For the first time, Shen Han doubted his superior's judgment.
"Then …" Shen Han changed the topic. "Commander-In-Chief, do you think He Yan can win this round?"
The youth curled his lips and said lightly.
"Yes."
