806. Chapter 806

Shoot wild pigeons in the air?

Geng Tuo looked at Ye Zhen in surprise. This difficulty is much more difficult. He originally thought that it would not take any effort to compete with Hou Peidong, just find a few archery targets to see who can hit the heart. The queen made such a request. Are you harming Hou Peidong or helping him?

Hou Peidong is Ye Chunnan's friend, and Ye Chunnan is the queen's elder brother, so the queen has no reason to help him.

"I think the queen's idea is good, so let's try it according to the method the queen said." Mo Rongzhan said lightly.

Ye Zhen saluted the Queen Mother and Mo Rongzhan with a smile, "The concubine is late, please forgive me, mother and queen."

Murong Zhan stretched out his hand to help her up, "It's okay, just in time for the exciting time."

"It's really timely for the queen to come." The queen mother snorted coldly.

Ye Zhen explained to the queen mother with a smile, "Yes, I thought I would miss it."

"The Ai family heard that Hou Shizi is ignorant, and it is not easy to win. You have such a difficult problem, do you want to show that you, the queen, are fair?" The Queen Mother asked with a sneer.

"No!" There was a faint smile on the corner of Ye Zhen's mouth, and she said in a calm voice, "Chenqie is a very protective person."

After hearing her words, the queen mother showed a hint of sarcasm in her eyes.

"The competition begins." Eunuch Fu's words resounded loudly.

Ye Zhen looked ahead and said with a smile, "Mother, let's see who will win."

Both Hou Peidong and Geng Tuo had a bow and ten arrows in their hands. It just depended on their ability to shoot arrows quickly and accurately. Whoever shot the most wild pigeons would win.

General Meng of the Xishan Camp couldn't help showing a smile on his face. In his opinion, Hou Peidong was no match for Geng Tuo.

"Hou Peidong and your brother grew up together?" Murongzhan leaned close to Ye Zhen's ear and asked in a low voice.

"Go back to the emperor, yes." Ye Zhen looked back at Mo Rongzhan with clear eyes, the corners of her mouth slightly raised.

Mo Rongzhan stared at her with a half-smile, Ye Chunnan's martial arts is so good, it is impossible to learn it in the past few years in Dongqing Kingdom, it must have a foundation since childhood, if Hou Peidong and Ye Chunnan grow up together, it is impossible to just A wine bag and rice bag.

At least Ye Yiqing would not let his son be with such a person.

"Release the pigeons!" General Meng ordered loudly.

Geng Tuo quickly took out an arrow and aimed it at the sky.

Hou Peidong held the bow in one hand and put the other on the quiver.

A group of wild pigeons fluttered out of the cage, scrambling to fly to the sky.

The arrow in Geng Tuo's hand shot out quickly, and a pigeon fell down.

People around cheered loudly, but before the shout was over, they saw Hou Peidong grab three arrows and put them on the bow.

Go crazy! Who does Hou Peidong think he is!

call out--

Hou Peidong closed his eyes at the moment when the three arrows shot out at the same time. He recalled the time when he practiced archery when he was young...

His archery skills have always been inferior to Ye Chunnan's. At that time, he thought that his life would be leisurely anyway, and he and Ye Chunnan would become the most comfortable and uncontested sons of aristocratic families in Kyoto. Later, he knew that there was no future.

For so many years, he has contacted archery every day without anyone knowing.

Just because one day I want to avenge my friend.

Poof - poof -

His three arrows only hit two arrows, and the two pigeons fell from mid-air.

Geng Tuo shot the second arrow and missed because he saw Hou Peidong hit two wild pigeons at once.

Hou Peidong shot three more arrows.

This time every arrow didn't miss.

"..."

Everyone was stunned and wondered if Hou Peidong had been swapped in an instant. Is this still the prodigal prince known to the whole capital? How did you become a sharpshooter in the blink of an eye?

Hou Peidong shot all ten arrows under everyone's shocked eyes. There were ten wild pigeons on the ground, one of which belonged to Geng Tuo, and the other nine belonged to Hou Peidong.

The outcome was immediately apparent.

Although Mo Rongzhan had already guessed that Ye Zhen would be sure that Hou Peidong would change the method of the competition, he did not expect that Hou Peidong's arrow technique was so good.

"Your Majesty, Hou Peidong has won." Ye Zhen looked at Mo Rongzhan with a smile and said.

"Impossible!" Geng Tuo yelled, unable to believe that he lost to Hou Peidong.

Ye Chunnan smiled and asked, "Lieutenant Geng, could it be that these wild pigeons hit Hou Peidong's arrows by themselves?"

The people in the Qingqi Battalion laughed out loud.

Mo Rongzhan said indifferently, "The victory and defeat have been decided, there is nothing to argue about."

It was only then that Geng Tuo remembered that the emperor was present today. He had indeed lost to Hou Peidong. His arrows were not slow but accurate, but he couldn't shoot three arrows with one arrow, and he could guarantee that every arrow would hit the target.

"Your Majesty, I'm willing to admit defeat and give General Ye all the prey I caught today." Geng Tuo knelt down on one knee and said in embarrassment.

Mo Rongzhan looked at Ye Chunnan, "General Ye, what do you think?"

Naturally, Ye Chunnan had nothing to hate, anyway, he just wanted everyone not to dare look down on Hou Peidong.

"Just some small prey, it's better to give them to the subordinates of the Qingqi Battalion, and they will be able to hunt them back in the mountains tomorrow." Ye Chunnan said with a smile.

He doesn't care much about Geng Tuo's prey, but he just wants to take away his harvest today and let him know what it feels like to be poked in the heart.

Murong Zhan nodded with a smile, "Okay, then General Yi Ye said."

Ye Chunnan cupped his hands and saluted, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Hou Peidong, you are good at archery, did you learn it from me?" Mo Rongzhan looked at Hou Peidong and asked.

"Back to the emperor, when I was young, I went to Ye's house to look for General Ye, and I got advice from Master Ye, so I know such a little arrow technique." Hou Peidong said hastily, how dare he say that he is also good at hunting wild pigeons, or because he used to eat pigeon meat Only learned.

A slight smile floated on Mo Rongzhan's thin lips, as expected, Ye Zhen already knew Hou Peidong's arrow technique, otherwise he would not have asked him to try shooting wild pigeons with Geng Tuobi.

"Geng Tuo, do you admit defeat?" Mo Rongzhan looked at Geng Tuo lightly.

"Subordinate... admit defeat." Geng Tuo looked depressed. If he hadn't been startled by Hou Peidong's arrow technique, he wouldn't have lost his mind and made a mistake. This time, he was unwilling to lose, but he couldn't show it, otherwise he would have lost. It seemed that he had no temper at all.

Mo Rongzhan smiled and told Eunuch Fu, "Have someone wash those wild pigeons and send them here."

Ye Chunnan and Hou Peidong returned to their positions.

Ye Zhen picked up the wine glass with a smile and took a sip of wine, when she heard the empress dowager's mocking voice, "The empress must have known that Hou Peidong is good at archery."

"Queen, didn't the concubine just say that? The concubine is a very protective person." Ye Zhen said with a smile.

"Could it be that Hou Peidong has a very close relationship with you, or why would you protect him?" The queen mother asked coldly, although her voice was not loud, it was enough for Mo Rongzhan to hear.

Ye Zhen's eyes turned frosty, the queen mother in front of her, in order to make Mo Rongzhan hate her, turned so vicious that she could even say such misleading words.
