Chapter 115 The blind cat encountered dead mice one after another
For the sake of fairness, the bows and arrows used in the competition were all prepared by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
The reason why Emperor Wu Su laughed was because he discovered that Ji Qingwu's archery posture had changed compared with the past.
The arc of the bow she is holding is no larger than that of others, and the string is not too tight. Her wrist is flexible and smooth as flowing water. This is the correct posture required to accurately capture moving prey.
She is no longer the slightly inexperienced dilettante, and begins to show off the style of a master.
In the depths of Emperor Wu Su's eyes, a flash of approval that could not be concealed flashed.
Everyone was laughing at her missed arrow, but they didn’t notice that the arrow she missed hit the ninth ring. In terms of archery, Ji Qingwu’s progress was fast enough to make him surprise.
It would be great if this girl could make such rapid progress in other matters.
The sixth arrow is still in progress.
Five people have shot decisively, but the remaining one seems to be still hesitating.
The reporter's voice penetrated the crowd and loudly announced the results.
"Concubine Wei, nine rings!"
"Huo Shaofang, seven rings!"
As soon as these words came out, there was a sound of regret in the audience.
Originally Huo Shaofang was only slightly behind Concubine Wei, but her shot was a bit off, and the gap suddenly widened. It is very likely that Concubine Wei was far ahead last year, and the other girls The battle for second place.
If there are no accidents, there will be no suspense about the winner, and this game will suddenly lose a lot of expectations.
Wei Liru, riding on a big white horse, raised her bow towards Huo Shaofang and said with a smile in her eyes: "Sister Huo, I accept."
Huo Shaofang saw her smile, It felt dazzling, and she said dissatisfiedly: " Madam, there are still four arrows, and the outcome has not yet been decided!"
Both are family members of military commanders. Her father and brother have been in the army for generations, and their military achievements are only slightly inferior to those of the Wei family. Why can she, Wei Liru, enter the palace? Marry the most noble person in the world and become the emperor's favorite concubine.
Huo Shaofang's intention to shoot the arrow was because he wanted to compete with Concubine Wei. His mentality changed, which made him restless and restless when shooting, making him worse than before.
She wanted to retaliate in the next round, but there was still someone who hadn't finished shooting this arrow.
Huo Shaofang looked impatiently at the man who was dragging his feet and had to be urged by the supervisor to shoot the arrow.
She said anxiously: "Hey, can you hurry up!"
The woman in green clothes seemed not to hear her voice, her back was straight and her left hand was like a stone. The right hand is like a branch.
This posture.
Ji Qingwu released the fingers of his right hand and released the feather arrow.
The right hand releases the hair, but the left hand does not know.
Her posture is almost the same as what was recorded in the "Book of Riding and Archery" passed down by Huo Shaofang and his family! Not to mention her, not even her father and brother could achieve such a standard.
Huo Shaofang stared nervously at the tail of the arrow that was passing through.
Soon, the results of this arrow came out.
The reporter shouted excitedly: "Ji Qingwu, ten rings!"
The audience was quiet for a moment in disbelief, and then broke out into heated discussions.
This is the second ten-ring hit on the field.
The last ten rings were shot by Concubine Wei during the preliminary round.
The last game is fixed-point archery. Although hitting the bullseye is rare, it is far more amazing than not hitting the floating target.
In the riding and shooting competition, men who can shoot ten rings, without exception, have become famous in the military.
Among women, there have been cases in previous years, but they are rare. Huo Shaofang's second sister said: "It's just a coincidence. Shaofang has been practicing for so long, but she still doesn't have such good accuracy. I don't believe that a girl who grew up in the countryside has such an ability."
The lady in pink robe chuckled and said: "Didn't she hit Miss Wen's target just now? Her laughter made me feel stomachache. Sister Huo, I guess Touch it, that Ji Qingwu is just a blind cat meeting a dead mouse.”
Another person echoed: “That’s right, a hero among women like Concubine Wei can be taught by her elder brother who can shoot through a tree with a hundred steps.” How could she do it without hitting a moving target? It must be a coincidence. I remember that before, only the princess of the previous dynasty——"
Huo Shaofang's second sister looked nervous when she heard her mentioning the previous princess, and quickly interrupted: "Don't mention anything about this princess again."
The game on the field is still going on. In progress.
After everyone else finished shooting, Ji Qingwu was reminded by the supervisor.
She took action again seemingly embarrassed.
A feather arrow shot out of the air and headed towards the red dot in the center of the target.
"Just wait and see, this time she won't be able to touch -"
Before the lady in pink finished speaking, the arrow hit the bullseye again, "..."
Ji Qingwu turned his right wrist, and his eyes lit up with joy.
Using the body to use the arms and the arms to use the fingers, the bow and the hands become one. She understood the essence of what Emperor Wu Su taught her. She could feel that her hand was getting better and better, and she was looking for this subtle feeling in the first few arrows.
The girl in pink couldn't believe that the little widow of the Ji family had such ability, and said loudly: "There are a lot of dead rats, I don't believe it anyway!"
It doesn't matter whether she believes it or not.
One arrow is in better condition than the other. Sitting on the horse, Ji Qingwu curled up his lips and felt relaxed.
The voices on the generals’ table also began to get louder.
At first they just thought that the archery competitions held by these girls were just a show. Concubine Wei was taught riding and archery by Wei Ting himself, and it was enough to watch her archery skills occasionally. They were drinking from big bowls and eating meat happily. They chatted about military affairs.
Not long after, a commotion was heard in the audience, and several generals were also attracted by the scene.
None of them expected that after entering the finals, the competition in the women's group would become fierce, and the battle for the top three would be suspenseful. It was not the overwhelming situation of Wei Fei in previous years.
The fifth girl from the Ji family achieved full marks in shooting.
She caught up and gradually caught up with Huo Shaofang, and their interest was aroused.
But what struck them even more amazingly was that Ji Qingwu’s archery posture was flexible and powerful, which was very ornamental. The whole person was like a bow that could be bent or straightened. Some people have a bow that merges into one. of exquisite feeling.
The generals looked at each other with great interest in their eyes, and they also began to place their bets.
"Who do you think can win this game?"
"The girl from the Huo family is just average. She is probably one of the concubines Wei and Ji Wu."
The thin and long-faced Zhang Chi said: "Concubine Wei's riding and archery was taught by her brother, General Wei Ting, how can she be good? I think the one from the Ji family is still immature, so I will overpower Concubine Wei!"
The fat Feng Xiang said: "Lao Zhang, I'm not convinced by what you said. The Holy Master personally taught Miss Ji Wu's archery skills at the last palace banquet. Who has better archery skills, Your Majesty or General Wei?" Okay? It’s not certain who will win or who will lose!”
Arrow after arrow was shot out, and the discussion in the audience became louder and louder.
When Huo Shaofang saw Ji Qingwu catching up, he became anxious and shot even more erratically. He was already far behind and completely lost the qualification to compete for first place.
The final winner will be between Concubine Wei and Ji Qingwu.
It’s time to get the votes, buy it and leave!
