0Novel Reading Network The front palace of Liuyun Palace, the training ground for soldiers.
The soldiers who were not on duty stood at the edge, all of them extremely excited.
Yue Qingrou sat on a soft chair on the steps at the entrance of the hall, with several personal guards behind her.
Wanrong stood on the sidelines of the school field as the referee.
Several targets have been placed in place, and Yun Qing and Chen Xun, the marksman of the Yue Qingrou Army, are also standing on the side of the school field.
"Come here, get a bow for Yun Qing."
Seeing that Chen Xun was ready, Wanrong waved to the soldiers on the sidelines.
An officer stood up, walked out, and quickly came back with a bow and handed it to Yun Qing.
"Okay, let's start.
Chen Xun, you come first."
Wanrong waved to start.
Chen Xun drew his bow and nocked an arrow, and shot out an arrow, hitting the target a hundred paces away.
"good."
"Let the people of the Empire see how powerful our Yeyue Kingdom's marksmen are."
"A few more arrows will make him unable to even lift the bow."
Chen Xun hit the bull's-eye with an arrow, and the soldiers around him started shouting.
Chen Xun drew his bow again and shot two arrows in succession, hitting the bull's-eyes of the other two targets respectively.
At this moment, a soldier hurriedly ran in from the door: "Report to the Duke.
The messenger from Piaoxue Palace is here."
"Piaoxue Palace Leng Ling'er, why did she send people here to bring them in?"
Yue Qingrou nodded in surprise.
The visitor was a man wearing light armor.
His face was full of weathered color, and his arms were muscular, telling that his master had extraordinary arm strength.
"I have met the Duke."
The visitor knelt down on one knee: "Feng Xiang, a subordinate of Duke Xueyuan, was ordered to come to pay homage and compete with the Duke's subordinates."
"Hahaha, Leng Ling'er's defeated general is not my opponent.
This time I actually want to compete among my subordinates.
That's great, so I agreed.
Tell me, what do you want to compete with?"
Yue Qingrou laughed.
She didn't think her subordinates were any worse than Leng Ling'er's subordinates.
"Your Majesty the Duke, I come from the Piaoyun Kingdom.
Therefore, I am better at bows and arrows, so I hope to compete with the Duke's subordinates in bow and arrow skills."
Feng Xiang replied in a calm and confident tone.
Piaoyun Kingdom's Yue Qingrou's expression was slightly astonished: "I didn't expect that Leng Ling'er would be able to recruit the sharpshooters of Piaoyun Kingdom.
No wonder she was suddenly so confident that she took the initiative to send you here."
Piaoyun Kingdom has always admired the art of bow and arrow, and their most famous one is undoubtedly the long bow.
This kind of long bow is complicated to make, but it is very powerful and can easily shoot up to 300 steps away.
It can shoot through ordinary armor within a hundred steps.
The Piaoyun Kingdom once relied on the longbow troops to resist the attacks of the Tianhua Empire many times in a row.
Most of the martial arts masters in Piaoyun Kingdom are good at bows and arrows.
Even in close combat, they can rely on an iron bow to compete with other martial arts masters.
Most of the people in Piaoyun Kingdom are Shuiyun tribe members.
The national talent of the Shuiyun tribe is called the Eye of the Sky Eagle.
This talent is also one of the reasons why they have so many sharpshooters.

In addition to having far superior eyesight than other ethnic groups, when the Aquila eyes are highly concentrated, everything they see in their eyes will slow down.
And for martial arts masters, this is even more of a decisive factor.
This is also one of the reasons why the martial arts masters of Piaoyun Kingdom can compete closely with other strong men.
"That's just right.
We are also competing in archery.
You came at the right time.
Chen Xun, come and compete with him."
"Yes, Your Majesty the Duke."
Chen Xun took two steps forward and saluted.
"The visitor is a guest, Chen Xun, you come first."
Wanrong ordered.
Chen Xun looked at the five targets in front of him with a serious expression, his hands firing arrows like lightning.
The five arrows all hit the red heart.
This was not over yet.
Chen Xun then took out another arrow, and the next five arrows were nailed to the tail ends of the five arrows in front. bang bang bang "Good archery skills."
Feng Xiang applauded: "Since coming out of Piaoyun, I have rarely seen people with such archery skills."
"Hmph, how about I learn about your archery skills?"
Chen Xun hummed.
Feng Xiang laughed: "Okay, no problem."
As he said this, he took out five arrows at the same time and shot them out.
These five arrows were all nailed to the tail end of the arrow Chen Xun shot just now.
The three arrows were connected together like piercing a candied haws of apple.
The whole place suddenly fell silent.
Yun Qing watched the two people's performance and secretly praised it in his heart.
It's really amazing.
None of the hunters in the village are as powerful as them.
My hands were itchy just looking at it.
While Yun Qing was thinking, he picked up the bow and wanted to shoot a few arrows.
But as soon as he drew the bow, his brows immediately furrowed.
It turned out that not only was the wood of this bow not good, but the string was also a little loose.
It's a bit difficult to shoot accurately with such a bow, let alone competing with an expert like this.
So that's it.
I asked why the guy who gave me the bow just now had such a weird expression.
It turned out that something was going on here and he got a defective bow.
But if you think there's nothing I can do about it, you're underestimating me.
Yun Qing thought disdainfully, drew his bow and shot an arrow.
The arrow shot out diagonally and hit the ground directly.
This arrow also completely broke the silent scene.
But what he got in return was ridicule for Yun Qing.
After all, there were two marksmen with excellent archery skills competing just now, and now suddenly this arrow came out crookedly and didn't even hit the target.
"Look, that kid has been bragging all day long, but he can't do it now, right?"
"That's right, it's nothing to rely on words alone, everything must rely on strength."
"Shut up.
We saw Yun Qing's archery skills with our own eyes that day.
It must have been an accident this time."

Dahong and other soldiers who were close to Yun Qing retorted.
Even Yue Qingrou and Wanrong frowned, wondering why Yun Qing would shoot such an arrow.
But Yun Qing didn't care about anything around him and shot the second arrow.
This arrow shot much farther than the previous one, but it still missed the target.
"Hahaha" "It's so embarrassing."
Chen Xun and Feng Xiang looked over in surprise.
They didn't know what Yun Qing meant.
But then Yunqing shot the third arrow.
This arrow was beyond everyone's expectations.
It drew a high arc and hit the bull's eye.
"Hey, this must be a fool's errand" "That's right, you're blind."
The questioning was not over yet, and the next few arrows hit the bullseyes of the other four targets.
At this time, all the soldiers fell silent.
One time can be said to be a fool, but five times in a row, that is real strength.
Yun Qing took out the arrow again and was about to continue when he suddenly caught a glimpse of a shadow on the city wall from the corner of his eye.
This shadow sneakily touched the side of the siege crossbow used for defense on the city wall.
Not only that, he had even adjusted the direction of the siege crossbow and aimed it at Yue Qingrou, who was sitting in front of the hall.
Humph, even shooting at the target is pointless.
These guys are brave enough to think that I win, so I'll shoot you.
Yun Qing rolled his eyes and shot out an arrow.
The soldiers were waiting for Yun Qing to continue, but suddenly they saw Yun Qing turn around and shoot an arrow into the air, and they were stunned.
Is this guy crazy?
Why are he shooting so randomly?
But then there was a scream from the city wall.
The assassin was shot directly through the wrist by Yun Qing's arrow.
He was suddenly unable to control the siege crossbow.
With a whoosh, the huge crossbow arrow he had prepared came out. , aiming directly at Yue Qingrou.
The long sword Yue Qingrou placed on her knees suddenly let out a loud sword roar, and a strong wind raged, but the siege crossbow was too powerful, and the wind had no effect, and the force did not weaken at all.
At this time, Yue Qingrou had just stood up and had not had time to dodge.
"No" Wanrong rushed towards Yue Qingrou with a pale face, but there was no way she could catch up. boom There was a loud noise, and the crossbow arrow was shot directly one step away from Yue Qingrou's left side.
The entire crossbow arrow was completely engulfed in the bluestone, which shows the power of this siege crossbow.
Yue Qingrou looked at Yun Qing thoughtfully, but saw that there was no trace of panic on his face, and he was taking out an arrow and placing it on his bow.
"There is an assassin, catch him."
Only then did the soldiers react.
There was complete chaos, and all the soldiers roared and rushed towards the city wall.
"Shoot, shoot.
Shoot him."
The assassin turned around and ran away.
Since he was already on the city wall, he quickly escaped from the range of the bow and arrow.
Just when he escaped more than two hundred steps, an arrow shot out in the dark night and shot directly through his ankle.
"Ah" the assassin screamed and fell to the ground, only to be caught by the swarming soldiers.
Only then did Wanrong rush to the steps: "Qingrou, are you okay?
Did you get hurt anywhere?"
In her excitement, she even forgot the title of the Duke, and called him the same title as before in Yuexian Tower.
"I'm fine.

He must have made sure that the crossbow arrow would not hit me."
Yue Qingrou calmly shook her head and looked at Yun Qing in the distance who had just hit the assassin with an arrow: "Wanrong, please calm down.
Well.
It’s not a big deal, it’s just this moment.
But you are finally willing to call me by my name again, do you hear me?”
"This won't work, Your Majesty the Duke."
Wanrong flatly refused.
"If you don't agree, then I'll fire you."
Yue Qingrou finally made love with Wanrong.
"Okay, I agree."
Although Wanrong knew that Yue Qingrou was bluffing and it was basically impossible to fire her, she still agreed to Yue Qingrou.
"Hahaha, great.
Let's go see the hero who discovered and stopped the assassin."
Yue Qingrou was in a good mood, jumping towards Yunqing like a little girl.
Yun Qing shot the assassin with an arrow and immediately put down his bow.
Not long after, he saw Yue Qingrou jumping over.
"Beauty Duke, are you okay?"
Yun Qing said with a smile.
"It's okay.
Didn't you see early on that the crossbow arrow couldn't hit me?
You could tell by the indifferent expression on your face."
Yue Qingrou slapped Yun Qing on the shoulder: "I want you even more now.
Really.
Don’t want to stay” Yun Qing replied with a smile: "I think I have already answered you.
But if you really want me, just marry me."
"Hmph."
Yue Qing's pretty face turned red, and she took the bow from Yun Qing's hand: "You can actually shoot more than two hundred steps with a bow in our army.
I don't know how you did it.
Hmm."
As she spoke, she pulled the bow, and then her face turned ugly: "Chen Xun, Liu Liang, come here.
Tell me, who did such a heinous thing?
It is a disgrace to our army. " 0Novel Reading Network:
