"You guys go down!" Gu Xiaotang said while sitting in the dining room of the small courtyard.
"Khan, we..."
"What?" Gu Xiaotang glanced at the guards: "You don't think that I, Duke Ping, will be in any danger here, do you? Or do you think that Duke Ping will harm me?"
"And Princess Qingluan, the wife of Duke Ping, is coming soon. You guys are standing here one by one. What do you look like?"
The guards thought about it and realized that this was indeed the case. The courtyard was only so big anyway, so they could just guard the outside.
What danger could the Khan be in here?
As soon as they went out, Wang Qingluan came.
"Sister Wang..." Thinking of what happened last night, Gu Xiaotang was still a little embarrassed. Wang Qingluan was not with Tang Ping yesterday, so he obviously knew that he would come.
"??????????????? Sister, you have worked hard these past few years." Wang Qingluan came over and took Gu Xiaotang's hand, whispering something, and looking at Tang Ping from time to time. Tang Ping wanted to ask, After thinking about it, I might as well forget it. They probably wouldn't tell me even if I asked them, so I'd better not bring trouble to myself.
He simply picked up the spoon and fed Tangtang breakfast.
"How's it going? Is it delicious?" Tang Ping brought glutinous rice balls for breakfast this morning. They were all colorful and filled with various fillings, all of which were sweet.
Gu Wangping had never eaten such novel food before and nodded repeatedly.
"Dad, what is brother eating? It looks delicious." Tang Tang ate without forgetting to look at the contents of Wangping's bowl.
She is not yet three years old, and her baby teeth have not all grown in, so she is not suitable for eating glutinous rice balls, so she can only watch helplessly.
"These are glutinous rice balls. Your little teeth haven't grown in yet. You can eat them when your teeth grow in."
"Oh!" Tang Tang was still obedient. If Tang Ping said he couldn't eat it, then he couldn't eat it. Anyway, the butterfly noodles in his bowl were quite delicious.
Although Tang Ping has never taken care of children, he is really a good hand when he is asked to take care of children.
Soon the two children finished the breakfast in front of them under Tang Ping's watch.
Tang Ping asked someone to put the bowl away, and then touched Gu Wangping's little head: "If you bring people to challenge me today, it won't just be horse riding, right?"
Of course Tang Tang now knew the reason why Gu Wangping stole his seal and came here, and glared at him again.
Unexpectedly, Tang Ping also protected Gu Wangping and said, "Don't be harsh on him. Since he is going to Chang'an to study with me, then naturally I have to let him know what I am capable of. Otherwise, he would be unwilling to go there." "
Tang Tang thought about it and it seemed that it did make sense. He just rolled his eyes at Tang Ping again, but finally said nothing more.
"Then, let's compete in archery for the second event!"
This Turk is famous for its riding and shooting. Gu Wangping knew how to use his own strengths to attack his enemies' weaknesses at a young age. It must be said that he was quite smart.
"I'm not good at archery either!" Tang Ping said honestly.
Gu Wangping had already begun to like Tang Ping, but now he heard Tang Ping say that he was not good at archery, and he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
"But I have better skills than archery."
"What's your more powerful ability?"
"You'll know after a comparison. How are you going to compete with me in archery?"
Gu Wangping is so young, he will definitely not be able to draw a strong bow. He is afraid that he will be compared with himself.
Sure enough, Gu Wangping ran out and called a guard in: "Bata is the best archer among the guards. I originally planned to ask you to compete with him."
Gu Wangping didn't realize it himself, but in his words, he had gone from being arrogant to having some respect for Tang Ping.
"Okay, then I will compete with Bata." Tang Ping looked at Bata with a smile, gave a Turkic salute, and then asked: "How do you usually compete?"
Bata glanced at Khan, and when Gu Xiaotang nodded, he said: "We Turks are all good at archery, but Duke Ping is not good at riding horses, so we can just stand and compete."
This is also a straightforward guy. How can he say that VIPs can't do anything?
Of course, Tang Ping couldn't argue with him, he just asked him to come first.
Bata took off his bow and arrow from his horse, and someone planted a spear on the ground fifty steps away. Bata turned his back to that side, unfurled his bow and nocked an arrow, then turned around and shot.
There was a crisp sound of gold and iron clashing, and it was obvious that the arrow hit the target.
In ancient times, one step was about 1.3 meters, and fifty steps was about 6-70 meters. Being able to shoot an arrow at such a distance and instantly hit the tip of a spear was considered a very advanced shooting skill.
Tang Ping also clapped his hands and praised sincerely: "Brother Bata is indeed amazing."
Bata was used to it, shook his head and said, "Dr. Ping Guo has overestimated his reward."
Then he looked at Tang Ping who had empty hands and asked, "Where are Duke Ping's bows and arrows? Do you want Bata to help you choose one?"
Tang Ping said with a smile: "I just said that I am good at using bows and arrows, so naturally I don't have bows and arrows."
"Then...how does this compare?"
Tang Ping did not answer, but looked at Xue Rengui.
"How far?"
Xue Rengui thought for a moment and said, "Three hundred."
"Three hundred meters?"
"Three hundred steps."
Tang Ping shrugged. Since Xue Rengui said it was three hundred steps, he must be sure.
So he said to Bata: "Please also ask someone to set up a spear three hundred steps away."
"Three...three...three hundred steps?" Bata was stunned. Three hundred steps was almost four hundred meters. The spear was inserted so far and so thin that even those with poor eyesight might not be able to see clearly. .
"Yes, three hundred steps." Tang Ping confirmed.
"I...I'll go there myself!" Bata didn't believe it. No matter how powerful Duke Ping of the Tang Dynasty was, he didn't believe that anyone could move within three hundred steps. The outside shot hit the tip of the spear.
So he rode out with a spear himself.
Tang Ping came to Gu Wangping and said, "Although I don't know how to shoot, I have something more powerful than a bow and arrow. If you want to learn it, I can teach you. Well... I asked this uncle Rengui to teach you." "
Gu Wangping looked at the spear three hundred steps away. He had to close his eyes to barely see it. He looked at Tang Ping doubtfully: "Can it really be hit at such a distance?"
"Hahaha, I don't know then. Let's watch your Uncle Rengui perform."
Xue Rengui never leaves his gun. At this time, he opened the box containing the gun and assembled the gun in a few clicks.
None of the Turks present had ever seen such a thing as a sniper rifle, and they all stretched their necks to see what it was that could hit a spear from such a distance.
Xue Rengui had no distractions in his mind. He set up the gun, then grabbed the dead grass on one side and let go. He watched the grass and grains fly to the ground, then took a deep breath, aimed and shot in one go.
A crisp sound of "Bang!" startled Bata next to him. He looked in disbelief at the spear that was broken into two pieces a few meters away. Some sawdust flew out and hit him in the face without even noticing.
He inserted the spear himself, and he was still right next to it, so the other party definitely couldn't do anything. Then he heard a muffled sound coming from the other side.
This...why did the spear break here first and then the sound came from there?
Naturally, the Turkic guard could not understand that this was because the speed of the bullet exceeded the speed of sound in the air.
He blankly picked up the two broken spears and returned to the front of the small courtyard.
Gu Wangping was even more stupid. This...this...this thing is so handsome!
