Chapter 602 Shocking Everyone
"My third cousin was really amazing today. He was hit by three arrows in a row, and every arrow hit the bull's eye?" Zhao Yin, who was not far away, opened his mouth wide with disbelief on his face.
"Indeed, the Prince of Rong State could actually shoot arrows from thirty feet away. That's really amazing." Li Dongsheng was also very surprised. He had never heard that Zhao Chi was so good at riding and shooting before!
"Isn't it? The Crown Prince of Rong State performed exceptionally well today!"
Luo Jinqiu was also very surprised. He originally thought that his biggest opponent today would be Zhao Yin, the Prince of Gu'an from the Chunjun family. He did not expect that the usually careless Prince of Rong would become serious and perform beyond everyone's expectations.
"Alas! It seems that I will not be able to get this golden soft armor today!" Zhang Haolun shook his head and sighed. It was a pity that he had prepared for it for a long time.
Jiang Youzhen looked at the Prince of Rongguo. She had good eyesight and noticed that he was drawing the bow and shooting an arrow, aiming at the bull's eye.
At this moment, he had sharp eyes, rode on a tall horse, and had a solemn and murderous aura, which was completely different from his usual self.
The fourth prince narrowed his eyes slightly and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Your Highness! It seems that you have made a mistake today! The Prince of Rong is obviously more skilled in archery." Jiang Youzhen came close to the Fourth Prince and sighed.
"Maybe! Aren't there still two arrows?" The Fourth Prince's tone was still calm, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking, but Jiang Youzhen always felt that his smile did not reach his eyes.
How could one not help praising him? Two arrows were shot in succession, and the guards immediately ran over to see.
"The shot missed the target!" The guard reported, and the clerk at the side immediately wrote it down.
Jiang Youzhen raised his eyebrows. With the angle Zhao Chi just shot from, even if he was riding a horse at full speed, as long as he kept steady, it would be impossible for him to shoot so far off target.
It seems that no one in this court is simple!
The Fourth Prince did not make any statement, but there was a burst of ridicule and regret on the other side.
"Alas! It's a pity, otherwise I would have gotten the golden soft armor today." The prince of Rongguo shook his head regretfully.
"Third brother, you did really well today! You were hit by three arrows in a row, and they were more than thirty feet away. That's amazing!" Zhao Yin saw the Prince of Rongguo turn over and dismount, and hurriedly stepped forward and said.
The Crown Prince of Rongguo shook his head, "I thought I was going to show my power today, but this is the result?"
"It is extremely rare to be able to hit the bull's eye from thirty feet away." Luo Jinqiu was very envious. If it was within twenty feet, he still had some confidence, but beyond thirty feet, he really had the strength but not the ability.
"After shooting three arrows, he was exhausted. Such an achievement is indeed rare. It seems that Prince Rong has been practicing archery very hard recently and his archery has improved a lot compared to before." At this time, the Fourth Prince came over and exclaimed.
The Crown Prince of Rongguo laughed, "Last time I lost the azure brush washer to Your Highness, and this time I was planning to avenge my previous defeat. Let's see if you can defeat me today."
The fourth prince smiled and said, "These people are all waiting! You may not be able to win the championship today."
Soon it was the second person's turn, it was Zhao Yin. He was also good at archery on horseback, but he did not dare to cross the thirty-foot line and was hit by four arrows at around twenty feet.
As for the remaining Luo Jinqiu and Zhang Haolun, they only boasted that they were powerful. When they were 20 meters away, their accuracy was good and they both hit the bull's eye. But when they moved to 30 meters away, they didn't even hit a single arrow.
Jiang Youzhen curled his lips. That’s it?
She thought they were so powerful because of the proud look on their faces just now!
Next it was Li Dongsheng's turn. Jiang Youzhen thought that this man had good martial arts skills, so his archery skills must be good. However, contrary to Jiang Youzhen's expectations, Li Dongsheng also shot two arrows at a distance of thirty feet, but only one arrow hit him.
There were three arrows left, and Li Dongsheng shot the target at a distance of 20 feet. This was not a bad result, but who could blame the young prince of Rongguo for setting such a good example?
The distance of shooting range directly affects the results, and currently no one has surpassed the Prince of Rongguo.
"Tsk tsk! Is this all you are capable of? It seems that today's champion is me, the prince!" When Prince Rong looked at the crowd and found that no one could surpass him, he immediately became proud.
He looked around proudly, his eyes lingering on Jiang Youzhen for a moment, and finally falling on Fang Zhongyi.
"Guard Fang, it's your turn now. Let us open our eyes, please." The Prince of Rong looked at Fang Zhongyi with a bit of pride in his eyes. Fang Zhongyi was just a small flag and he did not take him seriously.
Fang Zhongyi bowed to everyone, then ran a few steps, jumped up, took a few steps in the air, and landed steadily on the horse's back which was still trotting.
This move immediately surprised everyone, and the Fourth Prince even praised: "What a great skill."
Fang Zhongyi galloped on his horse, then quickly drew an arrow from the quiver behind him, drew the bow and shot the arrow, all in one go without the slightest hesitation.
It must be said that this move was enough to shock everyone. His smooth and graceful movements were very pleasing to the eye, coupled with his heroic posture while riding a horse, Jiang Youzhen had to admit that this was indeed quite a skill.
Tsk tsk! More handsome than me? Jiang Youzhen smacked his lips and suddenly felt that Liu Ya was so lucky.
"Isn't Fang Zhongyi a small flag? He has quite a lot of abilities! It's a waste of his talent to be a small flag." Zhao Yin clicked his tongue.
The fourth prince's eyes flickered as he looked at Jiang Youzhen standing beside him. He found that Jiang Youzhen was smiling, as if he understood everything. He couldn't help but feel moved.
"Hit the bull's eye! Thirty feet." The results came from the other side, and the first arrow amazed everyone.
"Tsk tsk! Prince of Rong, today's champion is about to appear!" Li Dongsheng's teasing voice sounded.
At this time Fang Zhongyi had already turned his horse around, and everyone thought he would start again from thirty feet, but his actions the next moment shocked everyone again.
Seeing that the horse had far crossed the thirty-foot line, Fang Zhongyi turned around gracefully, drew his bow and shot another arrow.
Everyone was shocked, even Li Dongsheng's eyes widened in shock, "He actually shot an arrow from 40 feet!"
"Hit the bull's eye, forty feet!"
When they heard the count coming from the other side, everyone's expressions changed.
Fang Zhongyi kept moving, and shot two arrows in succession when he was thirty feet forward. Everyone felt their hair standing in disarray in the wind.
"Both arrows hit the bull's eye, thirty feet!"
Fang Zhongyi just felt relaxed all over. The last time he felt so good was when he was escorting a caravan to the border and encountered bandits. That was truly exhilarating.
It was a rare experience for him to be able to relax and shoot arrows in this huge training ground.
He pulled the bow to its full extent again, put on the arrow and was about to shoot. However, the next moment, he suddenly thought of Jiang Youzhen's words and hesitated for a moment.
The arrow shot out again, and Fang Zhongyi shook his head regretfully. He had been in the limelight enough today, and he couldn't go too far.
"Missed the target!" a report came from the other side.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. If he could hit the target every time, he would be a god. Especially when the target was forty feet away, he would not be inferior to the fierce generals at the border.
"Forty feet? It's impossible!" Zhao Yin still couldn't believe it.
After all, it wasn't a very heavy crossbow. How could such a light longbow be able to shoot forty feet? Why didn't he believe it?
"Jiang Youzhen, it's your turn!" A slightly excited voice sounded.
