Liu Qing was stunned when he heard that there were guests. What kind of guests could there be?

Cao Cao and Liu Bei are both in the city, so they are not guests.

"Where did the lobbyists come from?"

"Donglai County."

Liu Qing understood that it must be Tai Shici who sent someone to look for him.

He went straight to the front hall and saw Jushou already there. There were two people standing below. One of them had a mediocre face and was wearing an ordinary official uniform. He was an ordinary state official.

Although Cao Shi's small position is within the official rank, it is only a deputy position without a fixed job. In fact, it is just doing odd jobs and running errands.

Although his clothes were poor, he could not hide his heroic spirit. Taishi Ci also had a very good facial expression, with thick eyebrows and hawk-like eyes, and a slightly raised chin. He looked very energetic and neat. However, when he was called here inexplicably, he felt uneasy in his heart. In his eyes,

Hidden uneasiness.

At this time, Taishi Ci was still unknown, and the well-known destruction of memorials had not yet happened. Kong Rong, who had been kind to him, had already been killed by the Yellow Turban in advance, so I was the one who received the kindness of knowing him.

.

Jushou waved his hand and dismissed the state officials, leaving only three people in the hall.

Then he faced Taishi Ci and asked, "Are you Taishi Ci of Huang County?"

Taishi Ci cupped his hands and replied, "That's right!"

"Come on, come on, sit down and talk." Jushou said politely, then glanced at Liu Qing who was already seated, and said: "My lord, I have been brought here."

Liu Qing looked at Tai Shici who was about to take a seat and said directly: "Stop sitting and follow me to the training ground!"

With that said, he walked out boldly, and Taishi Ci had no choice but to follow him, rather cautiously.

A group of several people arrived on horseback, accompanied by Dian Wei and Guo Jia. Jushou did not come to join in the fun. However, as soon as Liu Qing arrived at the training ground, he alerted many people. Generals Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao and Zhang He all came over to watch the fun.

The three Taoyuan brothers who were practicing martial arts on the side were also attracted.

A group of people surrounded Liu Qing, all of them high-spirited and high-spirited, wanting to show off their skills in front of the King of Bohai. Now that each army has its own commander, Liu Qing rarely interferes with training matters. This kind of opportunity does not come often.

Liu Qing took Tai Shici and said, "Don't be nervous. I am relatively easy-going in running the army. The army is so lively."

Taishi Ci replied with a serious smile: "Your Majesty, I'm not nervous."

Although he didn't know why the high-ranking man wanted to find him and bring him here, but seeing how murderous the soldiers around him were, Taishi Ci still didn't taste the slightest bit of "easy-going" tone.

"What weapons are you good at?"

Taishi Ci thought for a while, "Does the bow count?"

"Of course it counts!"

"That's the bow!" Tai Shici replied with certainty.

"Okay, then I will find someone to compete with you."

Hearing King Bohai's competition, there was a commotion in the field. Everyone in the army knew that King Bohai's combat power was definitely one of the best. Today, they can feast their eyes on it again.

If we talk about bows, it is indeed Liu Qing's shortcoming. Although his strength is sufficient, his accuracy depends more on his skills. Without practice, he will naturally not be able to master superb bow and arrow skills.

All the generals were good at archery, especially Zhang Liao, who was born in Yanmen, and was particularly good at archery.

"Wenyuan, come and compete with Ziyi!" Liu Qing said.

When Zhang Liao was named, he was stunned for a moment. He couldn't help but wonder why the Lord wanted to compete with such a small official. Let's just compete.

A group of people came to the shooting range. Zhang Liao took a military bow and played it three or two times to test the feel. Taishi Ci took off the wooden bow behind him and held it in his hand, as if he was ready.

"Ban Ming, get my treasured bow!"

After a while, Ban Ming displayed a beautifully crafted horn bow in front of everyone and said proudly: "This bow is made of fine black fir. It was made by the most experienced Wang Zhang bow craftsman in Xianbei for five years. Strength and toughness, both top-notch, are gifts given to me by King Xianbei. In today’s competition, whoever wins, this bow will belong to him!”

As soon as the words fell, the crowd in the field thought of the cheers in perfect agreement.

"How come Wenyuan has such good luck? Lord, we also want to participate!" Zhang He said repeatedly.

Zhao Yun was very self-aware, "Jun Yi, we'd better not lose this person. He can compete in the martial arts competition, and we are no match for Wen Yuan in the bow competition."

Taishi Ci's eyes rested on the polished bow body. Although the decoration was mediocre, the lines were soft and contained power. With just one glance, Taishi Ci could tell that this bow was absolutely extraordinary.

Taishi Ci's eyes were shining brightly, as if he were looking at a beautiful woman whom he liked very much.

"Ziyi, if you want it, you have to show your skills, otherwise, you will fall into Wen Yuan's hands!" Liu Qing stimulated.

"It's up to my lord to decide how to compete," Zhang Liao said.

"Three arrows determine the outcome: shoot from a standing position, shoot from a mount, and shoot with a rush."

"My lord, it's easy to understand standing shooting and mounted shooting. What's the shooting method for rush shooting?"

"The essence of rush shooting is that there is only one bow. Whoever hits the target first will win." Liu Qing explained that this one is basically a test of force. In this regard, Taishi Ci undoubtedly has the advantage, because Zhang Liao has not yet shed his [youth] characteristics, and his military growth has not yet reached its optimal state.

Everyone was very excited by this novel competition method. When Liu Qing saw the three people in Taoyuan watching the excitement, he invited them to come over and watch together.

"Xuande, what do you think? Who do you like more?"

"I would also like to mention that it is naturally General Zhang Liao!"

Before Liu Bei opened his mouth, Zhang Fei immediately came to a conclusion.

"Third brother!" Guan Yu quickly pulled Zhang Fei.

"The fact that your Majesty can set up this situation shows that this little brother is an extraordinary person."

"Xuande, why don't we tell you who you are more optimistic about? How about you and I giving a little luck?" Liu Qing smiled maliciously.

Liu Bei smiled coquettishly and replied: "I have nothing to offer, so if I can get any luck, I can't use my iron sword as a bonus."

Liu Qing sneered, "Haha, it doesn't matter, you can tell me who I'm more optimistic about, no need to gamble."

"Then I will trust my third brother Yide's vision and be optimistic about General Zhang Liao."

They are really good brothers. There is no luck, so does winning or losing matter? Not important!

Then I will stand as my brother unconditionally.

After the scene was set up, Liu Qing and his entourage entered the viewing gallery, while Zhang Liao and Taishi Ci entered the venue. They drew lots, with Zhang Liao first and Taishi Ci second. In order to make it easier to distinguish, they shot at the same target.

Zhang Liao lowered his head to prevent the sun from blinding his eyes. He skillfully opened his bow and nocked the arrow, and shot it with a "whoosh" sound, hitting the target.

There was a burst of shouts in the field, "General Zhang! General Zhang!"

Facing Zhang Liao's shot, Taishi Ci frowned slightly. He held a wooden bow and stood motionless. He held the bow posture for a long time but did not fire the arrow.

What is he waiting for? Everyone has the same question. Liu Qing is also puzzled. What is he waiting for?

When the slight coolness on his face disappeared, Liu Qing suddenly understood that he was waiting for the wind to stop!

The moment Liu Qing thought about it, the arrow flew out, and then there was a "crack" sound, and everyone froze.

Taishi Ci's arrow missed, and Zhang Liao's arrow missed the target and shattered.

The soldiers all looked at this ordinary little official in disbelief. They really didn't expect that Zhang Liao could lose after he shot like this.

"I admire you!" Zhang Liao held his bow in greeting.

"Luckily." Taishi Ci calmly replied.

The second competition is mounted shooting. Both sides will trot for a while and then shoot at the target. This time, they shoot at the target separately, comparing both the hit rate and the speed.

Zhang Liao's mount is a bay-red Dawan horse, which is also the legendary sweat-blooded horse. It is one of the few BMWs presented by Xianbei. Taishi Ci's horse is not only short, but also thin. In comparison,

Make a decision.

"Little brother, how about using my horse!" Dian Wei Xianbao wanted to lend out the black goods.

If Taishi Ci used the county's horses, there would be almost no need to compete.

"Thank you, General. If you are not familiar with the nature of horses, it is better to use inferior horses." The line was a polite refusal.

The two sides stood at the starting point together, Zhang Liao was obviously a head taller. After the gong sounded, Zhang Liao took the lead and took the lead. Although Tai Shici fell behind, the old, weak and inferior horse obviously burst out with strength and speed that it should not have, and quickly pursued

Go up.

Zhang Liao was greatly surprised. He didn't expect that the inferior horse actually had a mirror. He immediately urged the horse to increase its speed. At the same time, he drew his bow and drew an arrow. With a "swish" sound, the arrow flew out.

Hit the target!

Taishi Ci followed closely behind, clamped his legs tightly on the horse's belly, and drew his bow to shoot.

Hit the target!

In terms of accuracy, the two sides were tied, but Zhang Liao's speed took precedence and he won.

Zhang Liao once again handed over his hand and said humbly: "The horses have the upper hand, and we can win without using force!"

"Victory means victory, the competition is not over yet." Taishi Ci still looked indifferent.

The last game is shooting, one bow and one target. The two people stand a hundred steps away and need to run a hundred steps. The first one to grab the bow and then hit the target wins. During the running process, there are no settings

Under any conditions, that is to say, you can directly knock the other person down, and then calmly step forward and shoot an arrow.

If Liu Qing were to play, he would definitely adopt this method.

The two prepared, when the gong sounded, Zhang Liao rushed out, only to see Taishi Ci already in front of him. He never thought that Taishi Ci was not only good at shooting, but also good at running.
