The archery target under the school military field has been set up. Point the table to the south and the target to the north. The red heart of Emperor Han looking at the target is particularly dazzling. The show is about to begin. If Pang Gu wins this round, then the handsome position will be It has to be him. Emperor Han thought with a hint of reluctance. After all, Gao Yun was promoted by himself. It would be a pity if he really lost two games and lost his position as commander. But Pang Gu seems to be an extremely rare talent. It would be a pity if he loses!
Seeing that Gao Yun and Pang Gu were ready, Xu Bingde said loudly: "The second game of step shooting begins, with Pang Gu taking the lead, Gao Yun second, and the winner will be determined by one arrow. The one who hits the target's red heart will decide the outcome." That’s the winning side.”
Both of them stood under the general's platform, only a hundred steps away from the target. As soon as the gong sounded, Pang Gu listened to the order, opened his bow and nocked an arrow, and aimed at the red heart with all his strength. Unexpectedly, the bow and arrow was only pulled 70% of the way without being pulled by Pang Gu, and then he heard a "click" sound. The bow was broken at the waist. Pang Gu was stunned for a moment. He had been much more careful, for fear of breaking the bow, but he didn't expect tragedy to happen. Everyone on and off the stage was also astonished. How much physical strength it would take to break this bow! But this is not in line with the rules. If the examiner cancels his second round result, there will be nothing to say. People on and off the field also had their own opinions. Some said it should be disqualified, while others said it was just too much force and a mistake in operation and that it should be tried again. Only Lu Zuo sat firmly in his seat with an expressionless face and ignored the conversations around him. Prince Ning, who was sitting behind him, was confused and didn't know who to argue over!
While everyone was sighing, this question also troubled Xu Bingde. Should Pang Gu be considered a loser or a winner in this game? Or get another bow and compete again? The Holy Emperor was here, and Xu Bingde himself could not make arbitrary decisions, so he had to walk up the stairs quickly, came to the Han Emperor, and asked for instructions: "Your Majesty, what do you think we should do?"
Emperor Han also frowned and stroked his beard, thinking, and said, "Xu Aiqing, what do you think?"
Xu Bingde was stunned for a moment. He couldn't guess what His Majesty meant, and he didn't dare to say it directly. But if Pang Gu wins again in the second sentence, it would be a serious matter, so he hesitated and said: "Your Majesty, I feel ...I feel like the competition in the second round is not about arm strength, so...there are any violations!"
Prince Liu Yan saw Xu Bingde coming to the stage to make a report and knew what he meant, so he followed him to the Dragon Case. After saluting the Holy Lord, he said: "Grandpa Huang, my grandson thinks what Mr. Xu said is reasonable, and the rules are also right." We understand very well that 'one arrow determines victory or defeat'. Pang Gu has already used one chance, so how can he give another chance? What's more, the competition in the second game is about archery skills, not arm strength. Pang Gu's move obviously violates the competition rules!"
Emperor Han frowned and nodded, as if it was difficult to make a decision.
Seeing Emperor Han's hesitation, Liu Yan continued to speak: "Grandpa Huang, besides, if you are going into battle to kill the enemy, if you can't even control your own strength when setting up the bow and arrow, and damage your equipment at the critical moment, wouldn't it be breaking the weapon before fighting?" Has it damaged your own morale? It seems to Sun Er that Pang Gu should be eliminated in this round!"
"Okay!" Emperor Han said reluctantly, "Pang Gu violated the competition rules in this round, and the results of the second round will be cancelled!"
Xu Bingde was secretly happy in his heart. He turned around and met the eyes of the prince next to him. The two of them seemed to be politely nodding to each other, but in fact they already knew it.
The prince sat back in his seat, and Xu Bingde came to the center of the point table with great satisfaction, and then said in a loud voice: "Pang Gu broke his bow, which violated the rules of the competition, so his results in the second game are cancelled!"
After listening to the instructions, most of the people on the stage gave thumbs up to His Majesty and felt that this move was a wise move. Most of the candidates under the canopy outside the venue were dejected. Although they were dissatisfied, since it was a holy will, they did not dare to say anything. They just felt sorry for Pang Gu.
The gong sounded again, Gao Yun opened his bow and nocked an arrow in a T-step. Just as he was about to launch, he felt that the result was unfair. Just winning Pang Gu like this was not a real skill, so he bent the bow with his left hand, Pull the arrow with your right hand and pull the bow to a ninety-percent circle. With a "swish" sound, the flying arrow whizzes away and goes straight to the red heart of the target. Everyone widened their eyes and stretched their necks to take a closer look. In the midst of the electric light and flint, the archery target cracked into pieces with a "hoo!" sound. The target was broken into squares, and the arrow was stuck on the ground and kept shaking.
People inside and outside the court looked at each other in shock, and they all didn't expect that General Gao's physical strength was no worse than Pang Gu's!
After seeing this, Xu Bingde was pleasantly surprised. When he was about to announce the results, he heard someone shouting: "Wait a minute!" When he looked back, it turned out to be Prime Minister Li Shizhi.
Li Shizhi said to Xu Bingde: "Wait a moment to announce the results." Li Shizhi is actually a fair-minded person. Just now, Pang Gu accidentally broke his bow and his results were cancelled. Isn't Gao Yun's arrow unfair? So after saying that, he came to the Han Emperor, and Xu Bingde followed closely behind.
When Emperor Han saw Li Shi coming forward to bow and salute, he asked, "Li Aiqing, what's the matter? Do you have any objections?"
"Exactly!" Li Shizhi bowed again and said, "The original rules of the competition were that when Pang Gu accidentally broke his bow when he was shooting, the Holy Emperor immediately sentenced him to cancel the results of the second round. Just then it was Gao Yun's turn to shoot. But if he shoots the arrow through the target, doesn’t that also violate the competition rules?”
Xu Bingde was not happy, but the other party was Prime Minister Li Shizhi, and he was also the uncle of the country, so he couldn't speak directly, so he said kindly: "The Prime Minister has said it before, and the competition said that the one who hits the red heart of the arrow will be the winner, and Shicai has all Everyone can see clearly that General Gao has clearly hit the target, why did the Prime Minister say that instead?"
Emperor Han also said: "Yes, Li Aiqing! He has already hit the target, and he has also penetrated the target. How can you say it violates the competition system?"
"Your Majesty, does the game say that the one who hits the red heart of the arrow wins?"
"yes!"
"What about the archery target?"
"Broken!"
"What about the arrow?"
Emperor Han pointed to the arrow in the distance with his right hand and said, "It's stuck in the ground!"
Li Shizhi said: "Your Majesty, isn't this still a miss?"
Emperor Han was also speechless. According to this statement, it really didn't count. After hearing this, Xu Bingde became even more angry and cursed in his heart: You Li Shizhi, you are indeed an ungrateful person. I am doing this for the sake of the prince. At any rate, the prince calls you uncle!
"Okay!" Emperor Han said helplessly, "In this case, the results of the two players in the second round will not count."
Xu Bingde wondered: "Your Majesty, how should we deal with it?"
"Let's change the second game from foot shooting to mounted shooting!" Emperor Han waved his hand helplessly, signaling for them all to sit back and the game to continue.
Xu Bingde stood back in the center of the general stage and said: "Everyone be quiet, after His Majesty's decision, Gao Yun failed to hit the bull's-eye in the second game, and the results are invalid." Xu Bingde said this deliberately to provoke dissatisfaction among those on the sidelines.
