At this time, Chu Xuanchen and Prince Xian had already picked up their bows and stepped forward.
Chu Xuanchen coldly glanced at the two rows of red lanterns in front of him. He took the lead and nocked an arrow on his bow, aiming at the top row of lanterns.
The top row of lanterns was about one zhang higher than the bottom row. It was also more difficult. He liked challenging difficult situations, so he gave the bottom row to Prince Xian.
Prince Xian's archery skills were extraordinary. He originally wanted to challenge the higher difficulty and shoot at the top row.
But when he saw Chu Xuanchen aiming at the top row, he could only aim at the bottom row.
When Chu Xuanchen aimed, he coldly wanted to pull the bow.
Suddenly, he found that the bowstring was very difficult to pull. He tried again and found that the bowstring was very strong and tight. It was very difficult to pull it.
He carefully looked at the bowstring and found that the material of the bowstring was different from Prince Xian's.
The Sage King's strings were made from ordinary cow tendons, but his strings were thicker and tighter than the Sage King's. It was obvious that they were made from different materials. He took a closer look and found that they were made from tiger tendons.
Tiger tendon was usually used to make two-stone (dan) bows because of its high endurance, firmness, and toughness!
Cow tendon was usually used to make one-stone bows!
Prince Xian's was a one-stone bow, so his was a two-stone bow!
One stone was equal to 120 jin, so two stones was equal to 240 jin.
In other words, Prince Xian's bow only required 120 jin of arm strength to pull, and his required 240 jin of arm strength to pull!
-
When he looked up, he saw Prince Xian slowly pulling the bow.
Most people couldn't pull this one-stone bow, but Prince Xian could. This meant that Prince Xian was really skilled.
Chu Xuanchen coldly looked at Eunuch Liu. No wonder Eunuch Liu handed the bow to him first. There was something wrong with the bow.
However, he didn't say anything. He just stopped and stood there quietly. He glanced at the row of lanterns and began to observe the direction of the wind.
-
At this moment, Prince Xian had already shot his first arrow. With a whoosh, the arrow immediately hit a red lantern in the lower row.
The arrow pierced through the lantern, and the lantern shattered into pieces. The little white mouse inside scurried to the ground with a whoosh. Its speed was as quick as lightning, and it seemed to be safe and sound.
"Great!" Everyone immediately clapped and cheered.
Yun Ruoyue saw that Chu Xuanchen didn't shoot an arrow. Instead, he stood in place and observed his surroundings.
She hurriedly called out to him, but he didn't seem to hear her.
The strong north wind blew, making his hair and robe dance in the wind.
When the Empress saw this, her heart skipped a beat. Chu Xuanchen must have discovered the mystery of the bowstring.
However, it was useless even if he found out.
The appearance of the bowstring was the same as an ordinary bowstring, but the material was different. Ordinary people would not be able to tell it apart.
Chu Xuanchen used a two-stone bow, which required twice the strength of Prince Xian.
Even if he complained, Eunuch Liu could say that he used the wrong bow.
However, he was still known as the God of War. If he couldn't draw the two-stone bow, he wouldn't have the face to say it.
At this moment, Prince Xian shot three more red lanterns. When the arrows pierced through the lanterns, the little white mice inside all ran out. They ran nimbly on the ground and weren't injured at all.
"Great! Prince Xian's archery skills are amazing! "Another wave of excited cheers came from the side.
"But why hasn't The Emperor of Li shot an arrow yet?" Someone asked in confusion.
"I don't know. Could it be that The Emperor of Li's archery skills are only in name? Could it be that he's not good at archery at all?"
"That's impossible. Which soldier doesn't know how to shoot an arrow? I don't know what he's planning!"
