Final Volume 61
Not long after, Nie Ze came over with Xun Xiu under the guidance of the guards. [138Reading &, Nie Ze hurriedly straightened his clothes, dusted off the dust, walked forward quickly, bowed respectfully, and said in a loud voice: "I pay my respects to the king!"
As he spoke, he kept bowing and leaned to the side, and continued: "I pay my respects to the princess!"
Yin Rou smiled and nodded, without saying much, Tang Yin walked forward, supported Nie Ze's arm and helped him up, and said with a smile: "Nie Ze, what's the point of running all the way from Huandi to Shangjing?"
Nie Ze was about to speak, but Tang Yin waved his hand again and said: "But you came just in time, just in time for Yuan Rang and Jiang Fan to compete in archery. Tell me, who will win between the two of them?"
His words really stumped Nie Ze. In terms of archery, no one in Feng Kingdom could compare to Jiang Fan, but Shangguan Yuan Rang was a proud man. It would be a shame to say in front of him that his archery skills were not as good as Jiang Fan's!
"This..." Nie Ze was speechless, not knowing how to answer. Tang Yin didn't want to hear his answer. He smiled and said, "It seems that you don't know either. This time you can witness it with me!" As he spoke, he pulled Nie Ze back.
The king didn't give him a chance to speak at all. Nie Ze was also helpless. He turned back and winked at Xun Xiu, signaling him to be patient and wait patiently.
At this time, Shangguan Yuanrang had taken out his longbow, put on the arrow, and said to the guard guarding the rabbit cage in a deep voice: "Two!"
Ah! Everyone around exclaimed. Shangguan Yuanrang only took one arrow. Did he want to shoot two rabbits with one arrow?
You know, it's already very dark now, especially the woods opposite, which are even darker. A small rabbit runs in, and ordinary people may not even be able to see it clearly, let alone two.
Just as everyone was thinking secretly, the guard had opened the small door of the rabbit cage, and the two rabbits ran out one after the other.
"One, two, three, four..." Just like when Tang Yin shot rabbits, the guards began to count rhythmically, "Eleven, twelve, thirteen..."
The guards had counted to thirteen, but Shangguan Yuanrang still hadn't shot the arrow in his hand. He was seen holding the bow and arrow, squinting his eyes, staring at the woods without blinking.
After so long, the two rabbits had escaped into the woods for a distance. Many generals could no longer see the rabbits' position clearly, and had to squat down to vaguely see the traces of the two rabbits.
"Fourteen, fifteen!" When the guards counted to fifteen, Shangguan Yuanrang finally shot the arrow in his hand. Chirp! The sound of breaking wind was piercing, and the arrow flew into the forest, as if it had life, and accurately shot a rabbit's buttocks.
The arrow pierced through its body, and the tip of the arrow protruded from its forehead, but the arrow continued to fly forward with the rabbit's body hanging on it, and shot another rabbit in the lower abdomen. This rabbit was also shot off the ground and continued to fly forward hanging on the arrow. Finally, there was a muffled bang, and the arrows that pierced through two rabbits in succession were nailed to the tree trunk fiercely, buzzing and trembling, and the arrows hung two hare bodies on the arrow body, blood dripping down.
Quiet! The scene was so quiet that people were simply dumbfounded. It was difficult to kill two birds with one arrow, and it was undoubtedly even more difficult to kill two rabbits with one arrow. The force, precision, and timing of nailing two rabbits to the tree with one arrow were simply incredible.
Shangguan Yuanrang stood up straight, without any smile on his face, but his big mouth was almost grinning to his ears. The smug posture would be dazzling to anyone who saw it.
He imitated Tang Yin and threw the longbow in his hand casually, then clapped his hands, as if talking to himself, or to the people around him, "This arrow is just okay!"
Wow——The people around finally reacted, and for a moment, there were calls and applause. Many guards were so excited that they jumped up and down, and couldn't help but raise their arms and shout: "God of War, God of War——"
Hearing the thunderous cheers around him, Shangguan Yuanrang felt even more proud, and finally had a smile on his face. He didn't feel anything wrong, and enjoyed the cheers and praises of the people with peace of mind.
If it were someone else, I'm afraid no one would be like him, or dare to be like him. After all, Tang Yin had just shot an arrow, but now his limelight completely overshadowed Tang Yin. No matter who it was, they would feel that it was wrong. After all, he was a minister, and Tang Yin was the king, but Shangguan Yuanrang didn't feel that way at all.
On the other hand, Tang Yin didn't show any unhappiness at all. Instead, he laughed happier than anyone else, and the cheers were also the loudest. It's true that Tang Yin has a competitive heart, but that doesn't mean he doesn't have tolerance. This is his advantage.
Nie Ze, who was watching from the side, nodded secretly. For someone like Shangguan Yuanrang, he might only have room to survive in Feng Country, and only King Feng could tolerate his existence. If it were any other king, he would have been beheaded countless times.
Shangguan Yuanrang looked at Jiang Fan with a squint, and said with a strange smile: "Jiang Fan, it's your turn."
Jiang Fan was still full of helplessness and a bitter smile. A servant stepped forward quickly and handed him his purple gold bow and purple gold arrow. Before Jiang Fan could take it, Shangguan Yuanrang said in a yin-yang tone: "Yes, yes, yes, hurry up and use your purple gold bow and purple gold arrow to compete with me!"
Hearing his words, Jiang Fan almost laughed out loud, then shook his head slightly to the servant and said: "Just take an ordinary bow and arrow!"
The servant responded and quickly replaced him with an ordinary steel bow and steel arrow.
Shangguan Yuanrang pretended to be nonchalant, but he was actually watching carefully. He curled his lips, looked up at the sky, and muttered calmly: "Don't use the purple gold bow and purple gold arrows. Don't deny it if you lose."
Jiang Fan just smiled and didn't argue with him. He took the steel bow and steel arrows in his hands, first weighed the weight, then pulled the bowstring, slightly adjusted, and then said to the guard guarding the rabbit cage: "Two."
"Hey, others shoot two, you also shoot two, this is not like your style!" Regardless of whether Jiang Fan heard it or not, Shangguan Yuanrang was still muttering to himself.
Everyone thought he was stubborn, straightforward, and had no scheming, but in fact he was very smart. First, he used words to block Jiang Fan, so that he couldn't use the bow and arrow he was familiar with, and then used words to provoke Jiang Fan, intending to disturb his mind.
But Jiang Fan's state of mind was as calm as still water, and he was not affected by Shangguan Yuanrang at all. Click, click! With two soft sounds, the doors of the two rabbit cages opened, and the two rabbits both jumped out, and like the three rabbits in front, they all ran towards the woods.
"One, two, three..." The guards counted rhythmically as usual.
The scene was silent, and people stared at Jiang Fan intently. Everyone wanted to know how Jiang Fan would shoot two rabbits with one arrow. If it was the same as Shangguan Yuanrang, then he would undoubtedly lose.
The two rabbits that Jiang Fan caught up with were very strong and ran fast. They rushed into the woods one after another in the blink of an eye. But the most incredible thing was that Jiang Fan never looked at the two rabbits, and he didn't draw the bow in his hand. He just stood there with his head down, and even his eyes seemed to be closed. However, the generals present could see that Jiang Fan was listening attentively, and his spiritual pressure had already dissipated.
Shangguan Yuanrang pretended to be confused and muttered in a low voice: "If you know you can't win, just admit defeat quickly. This is not a place to sleep."
"Fourteen, fifteen..." When the guard counted to fifteen again, Jiang Fan suddenly raised his hand, and then pulled the bowstring of the steel bow. Without any preparation for aiming, he directly shot the steel arrow on the bow.
His steel arrow was not shot into the woods, but shot diagonally upward.
Whoosh! The steel arrow flew straight into the air and stopped above the woods. Then, it fell rapidly. It fell faster than when it was just shot, as if a sharp lightning struck from the air and hit the woods.
This incredible arrow stunned everyone present, including Shangguan Yuanrang, who unconsciously opened his mouth wide and stared as wide as a copper bell, making people worry about him. If he opened his eyes wider, his eyeballs would fly out.
The steel arrow that fell down quickly passed through the dense branches and landed on the back of the hare in front with great precision. With a crisp sound of "click", the arrow tip entered from the back of the hare, protruded from its lower abdomen, and continued to penetrate into the soil.
This arrow directly nailed the hare to the ground. What's interesting is that because the arrow fell from the sky too suddenly, the hare behind didn't even see what was going on, and hit the arrow shaft of the steel arrow standing on the ground.
With a dull bang, the hare hit hard and rolled backwards repeatedly. After stopping, it fell to the ground, its limbs twitching, and it couldn't stand up no matter how hard it tried.
Shooting the rabbit in front with one arrow, and then "waiting for the rabbit by the tree", so that the rabbit behind had no time to react and was knocked unconscious, if it is not a coincidence, but Jiang Fan's design, people really can't use words to comment on Jiang Fan's archery, it's too incredible, too unbelievable.
Just like when Shangguan Yuanrang finished shooting, the scene was silent and there was no sound. The difference was that this silence continued, and no one stood up to cheer for Jiang Fan from beginning to end.
It was very simple. From Shangguan Yuanrang's archery, people could feel his exquisite archery skills, while from Jiang Fan's archery, people only had one feeling, horror, a sense of fear from the depths of their hearts.
Shangguan Yuanrang swallowed hard, looked at the rabbits that were dead and unconscious in the woods, then looked back at Jiang Fan, then looked at the rabbits again, and then looked at Jiang Fan again. Finally, he was like a deflated ball, his shoulders collapsed, his head drooped, but he still refused to admit defeat. He patted Jiang Fan's shoulder seriously and said calmly: "Xiao Fan, you are lucky."
