Only the royal family of the Duan family in Dali is qualified to practice Peacock Ling's hidden weapon skills. However, those who are truly successful are extremely rare.
Most people are considered good if they can shoot ten or eight at the same time, but those who can shoot dozens of them are extremely rare. As for the one who can use the "Peacock Spreading Its Tail" technique, except for Duan Siping, the founding emperor of Dali, no one else can.
Only Duan Yichang of this generation in the Duan family has understood this peacock spreading technique to some extent since the time of Baoding Emperor. However, he is not completely mastered, but he can still shoot ninety arrows at the same time.
The copper kettle didn't move and ninety arrows were shot out. Even the master couldn't intercept them all. This was Duan Yichang's confidence!
King Qi can never be a master, and even if he is a master, it doesn't matter. As long as more arrows are put into the pot, the pot will no longer be able to accommodate it. As long as he is one step ahead, he will definitely win the pot throw!
Duan Yichang copied it with both hands and mastered the ink arrows on the table. When he first practiced the martial art of peacock feathers, he used feather arrows instead, so feather arrows are the only thing that can still be used to create a peacock's tail.
The jet-black feathered arrows instantly formed a circle in Duan Yichang's hands, like a peacock spreading its tail. When he moved his arm, his wrist trembled, and the arrows made a harsh "whooshing" sound. , and shot towards the copper kettle.
Zhao Tong frowned when he saw the feather arrows in his hand spread out, and slapped the table in front of him with one palm. Suddenly, more than a dozen white feather arrows bounced up. He held them in his hand and took these ten Several arrows were thrown out.
Duan Yichang peeked at Zhao Tong's movements and couldn't help but sneer in his heart. The other party was too underestimated because his peacock was spreading its wings. He wanted to intercept a dozen arrows? Even if the opponent shoots all ninety arrows, it is impossible to intercept them all!
His arrow went straight towards the copper kettle at an extremely fast speed, but Zhao Tong's shot was no better than he did at night, and the white arrow was like a shooting star.
However, Zhao Tong’s arrow was directed towards the body of the pot...
Just when Duan Yichang's arrows barely reached the mouth of the copper pot, Zhao Tong's arrow had already hit the body of the pot.
Copper is a precious commodity. Although the copper pot looks large, it is actually not that heavy. The pot biscuit is very thin, but the shelf looks larger, narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, like a bowl.
Zhao Tong's arrow hit the body of the pot, making a crisp sound, and pushed the copper pot forward a few minutes in the blink of an eye. Then the copper pot shook violently, but it did not fall over, but Duan Yi's long ink arrows did. They all fell in front of the pot, and none of them entered the mouth of the copper pot...
Seeing this, Zhao Tong flicked his wrist and sighed: "I missed it, I missed it. I didn't expect that even one arrow hit the pot body."
Duan Yichang sat down with a "pop" sound at this time and stared blankly at the only arrow in the pot. It was the only arrow that entered the pot and was the first arrow thrown by Zhao Tong. Now it has become a judgment A shot of victory or defeat.
Lost, completely lost.
Duan Yichang looked at the arrows scattered on the ground in front of him, his blood boiling in his chest. He suppressed the depressed energy and his body couldn't help but tremble.
This King of Qi not only pretended to be martial arts from beginning to end, but was also very thoughtful. At the last moment, he pushed the position of the copper pot and broke his peacock's tail.
What a great move to draw out the firepower!
Duan Yichang's face turned pale. Everything was over. He had lost the drinking order, lost his winnings, and couldn't get anything done. Was he really allowed to finally ask for help?
Duan Yichang would rather die than ask for help!
When he thought of this, he couldn't help but stretched out his hand and tremblingly touched the wine glass on the table.
Zhao Tong looked at him like this and suddenly said: "Prince Duan, wait a minute, I can write down the penalty drink first."
Duan Yichang looked up at Zhao Tong, his face pale and gloomy.
Zhao Tong was also puzzled at this time. He had already guessed that Duan Yi had emphasized the lottery several times, and he must have wanted to use the lottery to help his family do something.
But from what he said, it didn't seem like it was a big deal. After all, Caitou said it was a trivial matter that could be easily done and innocuous.
Since it's a trivial matter, why don't you just say it outright, instead of beating around the bush, scheming, and covering up?
Could it be that this person has some special hobbies?
Zhao Tong smiled and said: "It's the same as drinking in the morning and in the evening as a penalty. We might as well talk about the lottery first."
Duan Yichang grabbed the wine glass with his hand. If the opponent won, he shouldn't drink the penalty wine first, but he said it was a lucky draw. This seemed a little wrong!
He looked at Zhao Tong, and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind, and he was stunned. Could it be that...this King Qi also had some purpose?
But what purpose does King Qi have? Is there something you want him to do?
At this moment, Duan Yichang recalled that from the first time he entered Prince Qi's palace, to horse racing in the countryside, and then to tonight's flying flower throwing pot, Prince Qi hid step by step and only showed his fangs at the last moment. Could it be because of this lucky draw?
Yes, yes, this must be the case. Otherwise, as an envoy from Dali, he came to the Song Dynasty to request letters and pay tribute, and the King of Qi was ordered to receive him. It would be reasonable for him to demonstrate his martial arts skills in every aspect, instead of deliberately concealing his own martial arts skills.
Duan Yichang suddenly realized, and there was a "buzzing" in his head. After all the calculations, he was inferior in skills and fell into the opponent's trap.
It’s just that at this moment, he no longer thinks too much and admits defeat: “I wonder what the prince wants Yi Chang to do?”
Zhao Tong smiled slightly and said after a moment: "I want Prince Duan to write a letter to your father."
Duan Yichang suddenly became nervous when he heard this, fearing that Zhao Tong would ask him to mention something detrimental to Dali in the letter, and he would not be able to do it even if he killed him.
Zhao Tong looked at his appearance and couldn't help but shook his head: "Prince Duan, you don't have to think too much. Since the lottery is said to be a trivial matter, it is a trivial matter. It's just that I directly wrote to ask about your father. I didn't say anything abruptly, and I was afraid that your father would be jealous and might not give it to you." This king will clear up the confusion."
The matter that Zhao Tong wants to ask about is the matter of Xiao Feng, the king of Liaoxi County of Liao Kingdom!
He learned from Xiao Min that the Yuzang dagger was given by a sworn brother when Xiao Feng was traveling in the Central Plains. This sworn brother was born in Dali and had a surname of Duan, but Xiao Min did not know his name.
Who could be the descendant of the Dali royal family named Duan who traveled to the Central Plains more than ten years ago?
There are definitely not many children of the Dali royal family who can have such a treasure as the fish-hiding dagger. They must be the direct royal family. After all, it is difficult for the children of the collateral royal family to leave Dali, let alone such a thing.
All this information points to one person, and that is the current Dali Emperor Duan Heyu!
Therefore, the sworn brother Xiao Min mentioned was probably Duan Heyu, so Zhao Tong had something important to ask Duan Heyu.
This matter is about Xiao Feng, the king of Liaoxi County, but Xiao Feng is from the Liao Dynasty. Not to mention the title of king, he also served as the South Court King of the Liao Kingdom. Even though he has been dead for many years, his identity is still sensitive.
Although the Song Dynasty and Dali are in harmony at the moment, Duan Heyu will almost never say anything about such a sensitive matter if Zhao Tong, as the king of Qi in the Song Dynasty, asks him.
Most people will reply, "I don't know this person, I have never heard of him!"
Therefore, Zhao Tong asked Duan Yichang to write this letter, but he couldn't ask for it, so naturally he had to use some small means to force him to submit.
Duan Yichang wrote to ask about Xiao Feng. In particular, he wanted to ask who was Xiao Feng, the king of Liaoxi County, who was injured and why he died!
Sooner or later, Song and Liao will go to war. Regardless of whether they join forces with Jin or not, there will definitely be a war, and Xiao Min, as the princess personally granted by Emperor Tianzuo, will definitely stand on the side of Liao.
With Xiao Min's temperament, I am afraid that the country will be destroyed but the people will be destroyed!
The only way to break the situation is to find out the true cause of Xiao Feng's death and see whose hands he died at, whether it was the Song Dynasty, the Xixia Dynasty, or his own people in the Liao Kingdom.
If he died at the hands of his own people in the Liao Kingdom, for Xiao Min, it would be the revenge of killing his father...
