The waiting time was excruciating. After Luo Zhang and Changsun Chong finalized the documents, everyone was waiting for Eunuch Huang to read out Luo Zhang's results.
Most people present did not believe that Luo Zhang could win. After all, they all saw that Luo Zhang did shoot an arrow into the sky. In other words, Luo Zhang really missed one arrow and only had nine arrows left. Nine. Arrow's best score was only eighteen points, while Changsun Chong's score was the highest twenty points.
In other words, even if Luo Zhang has ten arrows, his best score is only twenty points, which is the same as Changsun Chong. If he wants to win, he must exceed twenty points, but is this possible?
Of course it is impossible, so Luo Zhang is bound to lose this game. It is ridiculous that Luo Zhang dares to bet with Changsun Chong. He is really stupid.
As if he was sure of winning, Changsun Chong became much calmer and chatted with some of the people around him who were close friends with him. From time to time, he would burst into laughter, and the target of ridicule was naturally Luo Zhang.
As for Luo Zhang, he has also changed since he got the document. His face is no longer pale, he is no longer breathless, and even the beads of sweat on his forehead have disappeared. It seems that he is sure of victory.
This look was said by everyone to be pretending to be calm and trying to save face.
Luo Zhang just smiled and didn't respond at all.
For some reason, Eunuch Huang appeared for much longer this time than before. Just when everyone wanted to ask why, Eunuch Huang walked onto the high platform from behind.
Standing on the high platform, Eunuch Huang glanced at everyone in the competition field, coughed and said: "Luo Zhang, shoot an arrow immediately. If ten arrows hit the target, you will get twenty points. If you shoot a big eagle, your majesty will give you ten points. Luo Zhang The points earned are thirty points!”
"boom!"
In the competition arena, the other three stands suddenly exploded, and almost everyone started talking in surprise.
"What? Luo Zhang hit the target with ten arrows? How is this possible?"
"That's right, he obviously only shot nine arrows, and one arrow shot into the sky! Why did he hit ten arrows!"
"Eunuch Huang just said that he shot a big eagle. Did the arrow he shot in the sky mean he shot an eagle? But that's not right. Since he shot an eagle, how could he hit the bull's-eye?"
"His Majesty actually awarded Luo Zhang ten points. This... is incredible!"
"Did something unknown happen in this martial arts exam?"
"Don't talk nonsense, Your Majesty is not such a person."
"Then how do you explain Luo Zhang's target of ten arrows? And His Majesty's reward of ten points?"
"this......"
Everyone in the stands was puzzled, and the people in the arena were even more confused. They could see it more clearly than the people in the stands. Luo Zhang's arrow did shoot into the sky, but Luo Zhang's arrow shot into the sky. On the bull's-eye, they wouldn't believe it even if they were beaten to death.
This is simply impossible!
Especially Chang Sun Chong and Chai Lingwu, after hearing the result, they stood up and rushed to the high platform of the south gate and shouted: "Eunuch Huang, how can it be possible for Luo Zhang to hit all ten arrows? He obviously has one arrow. Once the shot reaches the sky, even if he shoots down a big eagle, it is impossible for him to hit the target again!"
"That's right, Eunuch Huang, please tell me, what is going on?"
"We want fairness. How could something so unfair happen in this martial arts exam!"
Not only Changsun Chong and Chai Lingwu, but also other people who were close to them also stood behind the two of them and started shouting.
Unlike them who were noisy, Luo Zhang had been sitting in the back, very calm, as if he had known that there would be such a result.
On the highest stand, Li Shimin was looking at an archery target, Luo Zhang's archery target to be precise.
A group of veterans stood around him, all stroking their chins and marveling.
"Freak, what a fucking freak!" Cheng Yaojin shook his head speechlessly.
"Where did this kid jump out from? His riding skills are just good, but his archery skills are almost unpredictable!" Yuchi Jingde gave a rare compliment.
"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed that such a thing would happen!" Li Jing sighed.
"No one can believe it. After shooting an eagle, the arrow can still hit the target again. This is indeed an unpredictable archery skill!" Li Ji agreed.
Only one person stood aside and said nothing, but his face was extremely ugly, as if he had eaten a dead fly.
Everyone else noticed that his face was ugly, and they all knew what was going on. They felt a little funny in their hearts, and became even more interested in Luo Zhang.
The one who said nothing was naturally Changsun Wuji. It would be great for these veterans to make Changsun Wuji feel embarrassed. You know, many of them have suffered under Changsun Wuji. Being able to make Changsun Wuji feel embarrassed It is so difficult to avoid trapping and letting it collapse, but today, a young guy did it. A freak, he is indeed a freak.
Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, who were standing behind Changsun Wuji, looked at each other, smiled slightly, and did not get involved in this matter.
They were just invited by His Majesty to watch the excitement, and they were not interested in the affairs of Luo Zhang and Changsun Wuji.
But it’s okay that Du Ruhui is not interested. After all, he has nothing to do with Luo Zhang, but Fang Xuanling stayed out of the matter, which made everyone a little puzzled. After all, everyone knew about the previous affairs between Luo Zhang and his younger son Fang Jun. Even Fang Xuanling Jun's hand was broken by Luo Zhang.
Normally, if your son is bullied, you, as a laborer, should express your gratitude, but Fang Xuanling did not, as if he was not his son, he just beat him, and he deserved to be beaten.
Little did they know that Fang Xuanling fully approved of Luo Zhang's plan to deal with Fang Jun. He himself had no way to discipline this lawless son, and his mother even indulged Fang Jun, making Fang Jun arrogant and domineering outside. , he didn’t know how many times he had to apologize to others.
This time, Fang Jun could feel depressed and stay at home. Not only was he happy, but he was also grateful to Luo Zhang.
Let him go find trouble with Luo Zhang? How can this be! Luo Zhang is unlucky. Will his son be like before?
Only Fang Xuanling himself knew the twists and turns, and he didn't even say a word about his wife, which caused everyone's confusion.
As for his old partner, Du Ruhui saw something fishy in it, but he didn't point it out. After all, this was someone else's family matter, and he didn't care about it, so how could he cause trouble!
After everyone discussed for a while, Li Shimin said to the little eunuch beside him: "Take this to Eunuch Huang and let everyone see it. Don't say that I am biased. You all go and bear witness for me. I’ve heard it all, but someone just said that I was showing favoritism!”
Li Shimin's words made everyone smile bitterly. No wonder His Majesty called them over. It turned out that he was waiting for them here and asked them to prove to him that there was no favoritism. How much does His Majesty love Luo Zhang? This is completely Jane in the emperor's heart. , Holy Dragon Pet!
Some people are envious, some are jealous, and of course some people hold grudges. The one who holds grudges is naturally Changsun Wuji. Why can a boy from the Luo family get His Majesty's favor, but Chong'er, his nephew, doesn't get this favor? I don’t know what kind of ecstasy soup this Luo Zhang poured into His Majesty. It’s really abominable.
Obviously, Changsun Wuji held a grudge against Luo Zhang because his children did not receive care from Li Shimin.
If Luo Zhang knew about this, Changsun Wuji would be furious.
While Eunuch Huang was being questioned, a young eunuch and several guards came to Eunuch Huang carrying a huge archery target. At the same time, he said a few words to Eunuch Huang, and then retreated.
Hearing what the little eunuch said, Eunuch Huang secretly sighed in his heart, this Luo Zhang is really lucky and blessed.
Clearing his throat, he glanced at Changsun Chong and others and said, "Didn't you ask me why Luo Zhang got twenty points? Look at this archery target. The facts are all on this archery target!" Everyone heard this. Turning his head to look at the huge archery target next to Eunuch Huang, he couldn't help but be stunned. He saw a large eagle nailed to the target, and there were ten feather arrows stuck in the big eagle's body. If you look carefully, Upon observation, you can find that these ten feather arrows are all inserted in the center, which can be seen even without removing the big eagle.
Seeing this scene, everyone was in an uproar and exploded.
"Impossible, how is this possible!"
"Cheating, this Luo Zhang is definitely cheating!"
"Don't talk nonsense, Luo Zhang is here and how can he cheat? Are you not talking about His Majesty cheating on Luo Zhang!"
"Ah, that's not what I meant!"
"This... this is too ridiculous. One arrow shot the big eagle down from the sky, but by chance it was nailed to the target? The remaining nine arrows were all nailed to the big eagle. , is still in the bull’s-eye? Who would believe this kind of thing!”
"That's right, why don't you come up with some good reasons for lying and cheating? You can tell it's fake at a glance, so why bother to show it?"
