The darts and the straw target were quickly carried out by the boys. The so-called straw target had been removed from the wooden frame, and there was only a small mat made of hemp. There were many types of darts, including hexagonal darts and sleeve arrows. There are also small and light knives with a piece of red silk tied at the end.
A handsome young man in a black brocade robe stepped forward, took a straw target and played with it. He smiled and said jokingly: "The biggest difference between this dart shooting target and the pot throwing competition is one thing. , that is, it not only tests the accuracy of the dart shooter, but also tests the accuracy of the target holder. Courage. "
The descendants of the Ming and Qin royal families are prosperous, especially this generation. The emperor's reproductive ability is really amazing. Just like the original owner possessed by Li Xunhuan, his biological mother was of low status, and she didn't even get married. There are a lot of people with serious titles, but Yetingli doesn’t know how many more there are. It's no wonder that the original owner was reduced to being killed by the consort's rod, but he could still get over it.
The boy in the black brocade robe is naturally a prince. Since he is not yet old enough to leave the palace and establish a palace, he has not yet been crowned king. However, his biological mother is the queen, so his identity is destined. He was so noble that few people dared not give him face when he spoke, and they all listened attentively.
“One person shoots darts, and another person thirty steps away holds the target. After three arrows, the two sides exchange. The one who hits the most targets wins. The winner can freely choose anyone in the field to hold the target. Isn’t this better than How much more fun is throwing pot? ”
He took out the darts in the tray and showed them to everyone: "The flying knives and arrows here are all blunt and will never really hurt anyone. Is there anyone willing to come up and give it a try?"
Everyone at the table began to whisper and seem to be very interested in this novel and exciting game, but no one was really willing to come up and try it.
Are you kidding? They are all high-ranking nobles. What does it look like holding a target? It is said that it will not hurt anyone, but it is a knife and an arrow. If it hits the face, there is no guarantee that it will not leave scars.
The third princess was the first to stand up and said with a loud smile: "This method is very good. I will try it with you in this first game."
The siblings understood each other in unison. Xuan looked at each other, the boy held the target high above his head, while the third princess walked fifty steps away and selected three hexagonal darts from the tray.
There was just a whooshing sound, and a hexagonal dart drew a beautiful arc in mid-air and landed firmly on the edge of the grass target. The young man holding the target did not move his hands or body, and the target was raised steadily, winning a burst of applause. Voice.
The third princess looked happy. The second shot also hit the edge of the grass target, but it was closer to the center of the circle than the first shot. However, when she reached the third shot, she missed it accidentally. Don't worry, it's very rare to hit two out of three, so no matter the prince, princess, or the young masters and ladies of noble families, they all clapped their hands and applauded, and said a lot of flattery.
The third princess raised her chin proudly. She was already very good at throwing pots. She also learned horseback riding and archery. She was just playing darts and shooting at a target. Naturally, she was able to draw analogies.
The atmosphere of the banquet was heightened to its climax. Li Xunhuan actually watched it with great interest and was also one of the applauders. When the siblings exchanged, he poured himself a glass of wine and slowly While drinking, he silently said to the little princess: "Which one of them do you think will win?"
He didn't seem to realize at all that the dart target was a set specially set for him.
The little princess is not as arrogant as him. If she could control her body, she would be so nervous that she would grab the hem of her clothes in her hands: "You can still drink? I always feel something is wrong. Do you think they will let you go later?" Should I come on stage? The third sister just looked at me, she must have bad intentions. , I have never practiced step shooting, and I have never even played pot throwing. If I do it, I will be laughed at. What should I do? You... can you do darts? "
Li Xunhuan didn't answer. She was just looking at the target in trance, not knowing what she was thinking.
A burst of applause and cheers erupted in the field, and three sleeve arrows were seen falling near the center of the grass target. The young man in Chinese clothes cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Third Sister accepted." It was obvious that he had won, and then, As expected, he turned his attention to Li Xunhuan: "I heard that Sister Fifteen has learned a lot of skills recently. Why don't you betray the emperor's brother and come to compete with me?"
The little princess closed her eyes in despair. Eyes, she knew it! He knew that these people would not let him go. Wasn't it because Yong He took over his sister's leadership at the meeting and stole her limelight? What dart target? She just wanted to see him holding a target in public in panic, or simply, even if he hit her with all the darts, at most he would just be called nonsense, and who would be willing to stand up for him?
Didn’t you see that her so-called younger brother had a heavy gaze and a mocking smile on his lips?
"Don't agree to him! He just wants to humiliate me, I... we can't afford to offend him."
Li Xunhuan was deeply convinced, but saw a little embarrassment on his face, stood up and said calmly: "I The palace knows nothing about darts, the emperor Brother, please stop making fun of the emperor, and choose someone else."
Before the boy could answer, someone shouted: "Eh? Your Highness, what are you talking about? The rules of the game are for the winner. You can choose anyone in the field to hold a straw target , I didn’t see any objection from the princess just now, why did you shirk it when it was your turn?”
“It’s just a game, please don’t be a spoiler, Your Highness”
“Ten The fifth sister is now married, Your status has become more and more noble, and you don’t even look at it. Today, even Princess Zhaohua has ended, but you asked Dana to take Qiao. Could it be that you have found a husband from a noble family, so you don’t treat us princes and emperors like you? Did Sun take it seriously?”
Princess Zhaohua is the title of the third princess. Yes, even the princess who is the Queen's direct daughter can hold up a straw target with a calm face. You, a palace maid, push and reject her, which is too ignorant.
Li Xunhuan still looked very hesitant, frowning slightly and biting his lip gently.
If he used his own body to make this expression, it would definitely look very artificial, but now he is wearing the skin of a beautiful girl and makes this expression... Although it is also artificial, but Not too obviously artificial.
The young man's smile was already a little cold: "Sister Huang said this, which makes me unable to get off the stage."
Li Xunhuan said timidly: "It's true that a weapon has no eyesight, and I really If you’re afraid, please don’t embarrass the emperor, okay?”
The young man laughed: "Don't you believe me, Sister Fifteenth Emperor? Sister Three Emperors just held the target steadily and was not injured. Could it be that Sister Fifteenth Emperor must be a spoiler?"
After talking to this extent, Li Xunhuan had no choice but to go on stage. He slowly stepped forward and raised the straw target. It seemed that he was really reluctant and extremely difficult.
At this point, what onlookers still don’t understand? The so-called dart shooting is just to tease this idiot princess who has no status, is timid and loves to show off. Of course, no one will stand up to speak for her, they are all waiting to see her jokes.
The little princess was about to cry. The reason why she didn't really cry was because she suddenly noticed that Li Xunhuan didn't seem to be afraid at all. His heart was calm and his hand holding the target was steady.
It seemed like it was really just a game.
"You...you don't seem to be scared?"
Li Xunhuan blinked: "I'm really scared."
The young man seemed to pick a sleeve arrow from the tray, but no one saw it , he actually didn’t take anything, he took out the Xiujian from his sleeve—a Xiujian with a sharp arrow. "Sister Fifteen, you have to be sure and don't dodge. Your Highness is not very accurate. If your shot misses, Sister Fifteen must not blame you."
With a raised hand, an arrow from his sleeve flew out of the air.
If someone who knows something about concealed weapons hears this sound, his face will definitely change, because it is not an arrow fired with a game mentality at all. Games are only for fun. This arrow is meant to hurt people!
For this young man, when he sees the person in front of him crying out of fear, it would be best to cry like a cat with a painted face. It would be even better if he could kneel down and beg for mercy. Isn't this also a kind of pleasure? If she really does this, she will definitely become a joke in the entire capital within a day.
However, this idiot princess who has always been weak and incompetent disappointed him. She did not cry and beg for mercy. Even if she was afraid, she just said she was afraid. Her hands did not shake and her body did not tremble. .
If you are not afraid of nature, there are ways to play it.
So, the flying hidden sword was not aimed at the straw handle at all, but was aimed at Li Xunhuan's temple hair!
You know, although the people of the Ming and Qin Dynasties were open, it would be tantamount to a great humiliation to let a married woman spread it in public.
The little princess was already screaming, and she closed her eyes in fear. After a while, she didn't seem to hear the taunting voice. On the contrary, the surroundings were quiet, and Li Xunhuan didn't make any sound.
She opened her eyes and saw a sleeve arrow stuck squarely in the center of the circle on the grass target.
How?
The young man was also astonished. He knew his aim well. He was clearly aiming at Sister Fifteen's hair, so how could he hit the target? The shot was so accurate that it hit the exact center of the circle?
Li Xunhuan raised his lips and smiled, shaking the straw target in his hand: "The emperor's brother is so accurate!"
The young man was dumbfounded. He also had a foundation in rifle shooting. How could he miss so much? It would be even more unbelievable to say that Sister Fifteen had moved the target. I was staring at her helplessly, but I didn't see any movement from her?
He stamped his feet and shot the second sleeve arrow that he had prepared without thinking.
This time, the target is the belt on her left shoulder!
It must have been a coincidence! There will be no deviation this time!
He was disappointed again.
The arrow is still on the grass target, still in the center of the circle!
The straw target was shaken by Li Xunhuan. He didn't say anything, he just cast an encouraging look at the young man.
Even a blind person can see that Her Royal Highness the Princess temporarily adjusted the position of the grass target so that it can hit the center of the circle. It is not the prince who is really accurate, but the princess who is better than the palace servants. Your Highness!
She was able to predict the direction in which the arrows were coming, block them in advance, and let the arrows hit the center of the circle twice! How quick a reaction and how accurate a judgment is required to achieve this?
The boy's cheeks immediately burned up. The humiliation of hitting the target was even worse than missing the target. Looking at Sister Fifteen's smiling face in front of him, and remembering what she said about "being so scared", he was so angry that his lungs almost exploded!
She knew it a long time ago. Not only did she know it, but she took advantage of it and played with him!
That’s not true!
For the last arrow, the young man showed a fierce look in his eyes, smiled coldly, and shot the arrow straight into Li Xunhuan's abdomen!
Let’s see how you block it this time!
The arrow flew out, hit the target, and hit the center of the circle!
The straw target was still held up by Li Xunhuan. No one could see his movements clearly. They could only see that the arrow in his sleeve had a very low deflection, and it was impossible to shoot it on the raised straw target anyway.
But the arrow just landed on the grass target! Still at the center of the circle, the three sleeve arrows were closely next to each other. Everyone present was stunned. For a moment, they didn't know whether to cheer or not. It was very embarrassing.
The little princess was so surprised that her voice trembled: "What's going on? Didn't you say you're not good at this? How did you make him hit every target?"
Li Xunhuan He didn't answer, but took off the three sleeve arrows, walked over, and pulled the grass The target was placed in the young man's hand, and the sleeve arrows dangled in front of his eyes: "Good archery skills, the emperor's brother's accuracy really makes the fifteenth sister admire him, but the emperor's sister's accuracy is really not good. If he accidentally misses the shot, I can't believe it." The emperor’s younger brother won’t blame him, right?”
The young man was still stunned when he saw Li Xunhuan standing fifty steps away, holding his sleeve arrow in his hand! Suddenly his legs became weak, and he no longer cared about his dignity. He threw the target far away, turned around and walked away, shouting as he walked: "My Highness, I don't want to play anymore! Who wants to do this with you..."
Before he finished speaking, he felt a chill on his head, his hair fell down one after another, and there were two sleeve arrows stuck firmly in the center of the grass target he threw out!
Three sleeve arrows were shot out at the same time. No one saw when or how she shot it!
When people could see the arrows in their sleeves, two of them had already hit the target, but one shot broke the young man's hair crown. This was simply... simply... she clearly did it on purpose!
Li Xun welcomed the shocked and frightened eyes of everyone, and said calmly: "I lost. Since the emperor has won, please choose someone to hold the target." His eyes swept over them one by one. The men and women at the table smiled lightly and returned to their seats to sit down.
Although he didn't say anything, that look was more embarrassing than ten thousand curse words.
If the boomerang doesn’t hit you, it will really hurt!
The little princess had already screamed "Ahhhhhh": "It's so cool! It's so cool! I don't know how many surprises you have!"
