That's right! Zhu Liang was already prepared to lose.
Because he didn't dare to gamble.
To be precise, it is no longer a bet. Since Wang Ruhai said so, it must be true.
Since both sides are losing, it is certainly less embarrassing than losing in cavalry and archery.
Gu Qianmo was also a little confused at this time, and asked with a surprised look on his face: "Is Prince Li Chao confirmed? Is it really better than riding and shooting?"
Zhu Liang made up his mind, "Of course!"
Wanyan Qi sneered, with a sarcastic look on his lips. He said, "If you're competing on a horse and shoot, isn't that for nothing?"
And even if he won, it would be nothing to be proud of, and it wouldn't be enough to slap the opponent in the face, so he was about to speak.
Zhu Liang was not stupid, and choked back: "What? Prince Prairie doesn't dare? Isn't the project optional as you said?"
"Of course, if you're scared, then there's no harm in giving up."
He turned an army against him.
good!
Lin Bai gave him a thumbs up, saying it was okay and not stupid.
The corner of Wanyan Qi's mouth twitched. Although this competition is boring, but the other party said so, naturally it is impossible to back down, so he can only compete.
Regardless of whether he is glorious or not, he will win after all, even if he can dominate the opponent.
Zhu Liang was ready to play at this time, and there was nothing he could do to embarrass himself. It was better than losing the poem.
But at this time, Lin Bai stopped him and asked, "Do you want to win?"
Um?
Zhu Liang was stunned for a moment and looked at Lin Bai in disbelief.
The same goes for Wang Ruhai, with an expression that seems to say: Can I win? Are you sure it's not a joke?
Don't tell me, it does look like a joke, at least in the eyes of everyone. The other party is a prairie prince, and Zhu Liang is just a scholar. It can't be said that he doesn't understand riding and shooting at all, but he is definitely not much better.
It is conceivable that Lin Bai asked this question at this moment.
Lin Bai continued: "Although it is a bit difficult, it is not impossible. It depends on whether Your Highness dares to try it."
"..."
Wanyan Qi looked like he was losing interest.
For him, riding and shooting is not difficult at all, and it is still compared with a prince who has left the court. People on the grassland grew up on horseback. Riding and shooting is the most basic skill. How could someone who was raised in deep The prince in the palace can compare.
"Tell me! How exactly do you compare?"
he asked impatiently.
Lin Bai glanced around and said calmly: "This is Honglu Temple, and it's a banquet right now. Forget about riding, let's just shoot!"
Wanyan Qi couldn't ask for more. For him, it was completely a shame to compete with the Li Dynasty prince in riding and shooting.
Finished things early.
Lin Bai continued: "Ordinary shooting is not interesting, why not do something exciting? I wonder if the Prince of the Prairie dares."
Wanyan Qi sneered, "Stop talking nonsense, as long as you dare, I don't dare to do anything."
"That's best."
Lin Bai smiled and said, "The competition is very simple. Each side shoots an arrow to see who shoots more accurately, whoever wins."
Wanyan Qi's eyes were full of disdain, and he thought there was something new, but in the end...
Just when he was about to speak.
Lin Bai said again: "It's just a goal..."
He picked up an apple from the fruit bowl beside him and continued: "The goal is very simple. Put the apple on each other's heads. Whoever shoots the apple wins. During this period, the person holding the apple cannot move. If the apple falls to the ground, Consider yourself a loser.”
Hearing this, Wanyanqi's face suddenly turned a little ugly.
Everyone around was also stunned.
Gu Qianmo was also startled for a moment and was about to say something.
But Lin Bai had already spoken first, "Of course, if the prairie prince is afraid of death and doesn't dare to compete, then forget it, don't force it."
The corner of Wanyanqi's mouth twitched violently.
Gu Qianmo was about to speak but stopped.
Zhu Liang had already stepped out, picked up an apple and placed it on his head, saying: "Since the competition items are determined by this prince, let the prince of the prairie come first! Let this prince see the prairie." The Prince’s Archery.”
good!
remarkably brave!
Lin Bai gave Liangliang a thumbs up again.
Wang Ruhai and others looked nervous, joking, this is not a shooting competition, this is a complete gamble! If the opponent misses, it's all over.
But in this situation, the fifth princes have all stepped forward, what can they say.
Gu Qianmo frowned and said, "Prince Lichao, is it too late? In case of accidental injury..."
Zhu Liang said: "How could it be possible? This prince finds it quite interesting. Besides, doesn't the prairie prince believe that his archery skills are top-notch! What? Are you afraid?"
Wanyan Qi was defeated and his entire army was unable to dismount from the tiger.
He was the one who proposed the competition, and he was the one who said everything. Now that there is no excuse for shrinking, he immediately had to say: "Okay! Since Prince Li is interested, I will play with you."
With that said, he took out his bow.
Zhu Liang's face turned pale, and there was a slight sweat on his forehead. If you ask him if he is afraid, it is inevitable. If the other party misses, it will be fatal.
However, in order to win, I had to take the risk and give it a try.
Wanyan Qi slowly drew his bow and said, "Prince Lichao, be careful. Don't move around. Although my arrow skills are very accurate, I will miss occasionally. Just in case..."
Zhu Liang was obviously very nervous, sweat dripping down his face, but he still said: "Prince of the Prairie, just take action."
As he spoke, he simply closed his eyes.
A flash of killing intent flashed across Wanyan Qi's eyes, but he finally gave up. This was the Wu Dynasty, and in public, if he really killed the other party, he would never be able to escape.
shuttle!
Just hearing the sound of a shuttle, a sharp arrow pierced the apple and nailed it to the door frame behind it.
Everyone in Li Chao breathed a sigh of relief when they saw this.
Not to mention Zhu Liang, his back was soaked.
Gu Qianmo praised: "Prince Qi is indeed worthy of his reputation. He can cross the Yangtze River with a hundred steps."
When Wanyan Qi heard this, he felt no joy at all about success, because this was simply too childish for him.
Lin Bai said with a smile: "Now, it's our turn."
Zhu Liang also came to his senses at this time, "That's right! Prince of the prairie, please prepare!"
As he spoke, he also took out a curved bow.
Wanyan Qi was obviously panicking while holding an apple, especially when he saw Zhu Liang's unfamiliar look. His face turned slightly pale and he said, "Nanmanzi, are you okay? Don't forget that this is the Wu Dynasty. If anything happens to me, , you can’t even hope to survive.”
Lin Bai chuckled and said: "Don't worry, Prince of the Prairie. Before coming here, the fifth prince participated in a hunting competition and shot a rabbit with ten arrows."
grass!
Ten arrows! Are you kidding me?
Zhu Liang looked worried and said: "Mr. Lin, this time is different. This time it is the Prince of the Grassland who is standing there. I am nervous..."
Lin Bai said: "It doesn't matter, just treat it like a beast."
Wanyan Qi was furious, but before he could speak, Lin Bai said again: "If you are really nervous, just close your eyes. If you can't see, you won't be nervous."
The god closed his eyes, Wanyanqi couldn't hold himself any longer, and everyone was stunned.
Zhu Liang looked very reasonable, nodded, really closed his eyes, and then drew the bow.
Wanyanqi's expression changed drastically, and he said, "You... you can't mess around..."
boom!
However, before he could finish his words, the sound of a bow string being tightened was heard.
…
m.
Some people died, but not completely...
