Chapter 51 Arrow
Zhao Jin directly recruited the accompanying eunuch, handed the scimitar to the other party, and sent it to Fabre's tent.
When Fabre saw the scimitar in the shape of a northern barbarian nobleman, and heard that King Rui was assassinated today and fell off his horse, his face immediately turned green.
As for how Fabre finds the murderer behind the scenes, it has nothing to do with Zhao Jin.
Zhao Jin sent people to conduct a secret investigation, and if they got the result, they would naturally report it in person.
During the whole morning of spring hunting, these grandsons and nobles rode horses and galloped in the forest to hunt. The winner was Lu Yunlan, the eldest son of the Zhenyuan Hou family, who was eight feet tall and imposing.
It was he who hunted a big eye-catching tiger today. When he lifted it up, everyone cheered, and the emperor was also very happy. At that time, he tore off the jade pendant from his waist, rewarded it to Lu Yunlan, and sealed him as a tiger. The guards in front of the palace walked with knives. You must know that if you can be the emperor's personal guards, they are all hard-core cronies and have a bright future in the future.
In the afternoon, according to the usual practice, a grand bonfire is set up to roast the whole sheep and prey. The emperor is at the top, and the civil and military officials of the clan and nobles sit on both sides. Spin and fly.
Zhao Jin didn't like the grilled mutton very much. After eating two symbolic mouthfuls, he sat down and drank tea boredly, admiring the ancient maiko performance.
Suddenly Bu Er strode forward to salute the emperor, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I have a small bet with King Rui, and I want to order my subordinates to compete in riding and shooting, and in wrestling. Please agree."
The emperor put down his wine glass and sat behind the desk, looked at Fabre and laughed, and nodded in agreement.
"Okay, I will give you this testimony." After finishing speaking, the emperor tore off a white jade ring the size of a copper coin from his body. The small gold ring in the middle was made of suet white jade, the size of the right little finger, and the whole body was white and shiny. Liancheng. "In this way, I will also add a lottery. Today, I will ride and shoot. If any warrior can hit the center of this jade ring, I will give him this Lian Chengyu."
All the successors looked sideways and whispered to each other. You must know that this suet white jade ring still has a history. The current emperor went hunting with the first emperor during the first emperor's time, and won the first place among his brothers. The first emperor was very happy and gave this sheep Zhibai Yuhuan was always carried by the emperor, and it was regarded as his favorite thing.
Fabre glanced down, Zhao Jin had a better face, with picturesque eyebrows and eyes, his heart was filled with unknown anger, and his competitive spirit became stronger all at once.
Only the bravest men on the grassland are qualified to accept the love of others.
Empress Dowager Dong frowned slightly.
With such things, if King Rui lost to Prince Fabre today, his reputation in the court would be bad.
She took a deep look at the emperor, sighed in her heart, and casually put the green emerald beads in her hand into the hand of the maid of honor, and then laughed loudly: "Winning or losing is second, it's just learning from each other. The Ai family hasn't seen each other for a long time." Seeing such excitement, this emerald bead string is used by the Ai family to recite scriptures and hide Buddha, so it can be considered as an addition."
Seeing that the two giants in the palace behaved like this, the princes and nobles who were present also tore off some small accessories from their bodies and put them in wooden boxes, counting the days of the match.
For a while, the scene was enjoyable.
The emperor took a deep look at Queen Mother Dong, then looked at Zhao Jin and said with a smile, "Ninth Brother, you have to work hard, don't let the Queen Mother down."
Stared at Zhao Jin by many eyes, the faction got up calmly with a smile on his face, and bowed his hands to the emperor and the queen mother: "smile, my brother will live up to the high expectations of the emperor."
"Okay, I will send Tengda to fight in the first game. He is a master of one hundred steps under my command. He can hunt eagles with bows and horses on the grassland."
Fabre waved his hand, and a nine-foot-tall man with a beard and forehead stepped out from among the servants behind him.
The big man was as big as a hill, and the sound of his footsteps was rumbling, which showed his huge size.
Without the influence of mobile phone electronic products in this life, Zhao Jin has excellent eyesight.
From a distance, he saw that the big man's tiger's mouth was covered with thick calluses, which was obviously caused by practicing archery all the year round. He squinted his phoenix eyes, turned sideways and said lightly to An Twelve beside him: "This is a Master, be careful!"
Dark Twelve was still dressed in black, looking at Zhao Jin with dark eyes and bowing in salute.
"Yes!"
The teaching ground of the Royal Hunting Ground is quite large. Since it is a test riding and shooting, it is natural not to set a fixed target, which is too unskilled. The emperor simply prepared 51 pigeons. In the end, whoever shoots the most pigeons wins. , And among the 51 pigeons, one pigeon had the emperor's white jade ring tied around its neck.
If anyone can hit Bai Yuhuan's heart with one sword, no matter how many pigeons he shoots, he will also be the winner of the game.
Looking at the pigeon cage brought up by the eunuch, Zhao Jin slightly clenched the water glass in his hand.
The pigeon itself is not big, not to mention the white jade tied around his neck is still flying in the sky. It is not an easy thing to shoot it with a bow and arrow. Zhao Jin looked worriedly at the long Anshi standing in the middle of the field. two.
Everyone held their breath, and the emperor gave an order, and the little eunuch opened the pigeon cages from both sides, and countless pigeons flew into the air.
The big man of the northern barbarians drew his longbow and mounted three feathered arrows, and shot them out into the air. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and exclaimed.
"Three arrows in a row! This person can shoot three arrows in a row!!!"
And this man is also a master, he fired three arrows at once, and three pigeons landed in response, it turned out to be a perfect example.
"I hit it, it's too powerful!"
There were bursts of cheers from Fabre's side, and the northern barbarian hit three more arrows and aimed at the air.
Three more pigeons fell to the ground, and the big man of the northern barbarian searched around in the air, shooting long arrows continuously. After a while, there were more than ten pigeons.
At this moment, everyone's hearts were raised together, and they saw An Twelve standing in the middle of the field, keeping his bow and shooting arrows in the sky, but he didn't shoot an arrow. Everyone was suspicious at first, and then there were voices of dissent. Voice.
"Why is this guard of Prince Rui's house standing there stupidly like a wooden stake, not shooting anything?"
"Could it be that he didn't shoot a single arrow because he saw that he was too good at archery, and he was afraid that he would look ugly and be punished by Lord Rui when he returned home?"
"Tsk tsk tsk, I thought I could send a master with arrows, even if he doesn't have that man's supernatural power, he should send a master with a hundred steps to pierce Yang."
The voice of discussion gradually became louder, Zhao Jin clenched his fists slightly, although he trusted An Twelve very much, he was unavoidably worried.
At this moment, An Twelve suddenly moved, his expression moved, he looked at the sky to the southwest, his black eyes narrowed, and the bow and arrow in his hand shot out, heading straight for a gray-feathered pigeon.
At this moment, the big man standing not far from him also moved, and he saw three bows and arrows.He raised his finger towards the direction An Twelve was shooting, and wanted to use these three arrows to intercept the arrows that An Twelve Fei shot.
Everyone's hearts were tightly held together, and their palms were slightly sweating. Some people even cried out because they couldn't bear it.
"It's broken! This northern barbarian is playing tricks. He wants to intercept the arrow. Quickly fix it!"
But the arrow shot by An Twelve surprised everyone, as if he had calculated all the paths, he saw that the three arrows of the northern barbarian came in a fan-shaped area, and the arrow of An Twelve, It happened to pass through the encirclement of three arrows, and shot the gray-feathered pigeon straight through the gap.
Seeing the pigeon landed on the ground, An Twelve stood up with his bow drawn, apparently not planning to hunt pigeons anymore.
At this time, the big northern barbarian also put away his bow and arrow, slightly bowed his hands in the direction of Dark Twelve, and said in a somewhat unfamiliar Central Plains dialect: "I lost."
Naturally, he respected the master Dark Twelve, he turned slightly sideways, and then bowed back to the big man.
"Assignment."
Everyone was full of suspicion, until a young eunuch quickly came to them with a gray feather pigeon, and the sharp-eyed ones saw that the gray feather pigeon was tied with the emperor's suet white jade ring.
And Dark Twelve's arrow just hit the center of the white jade ring, and it was firmly inserted on the pigeon's body. Coincidentally, although the white jade ring was hit by the arrow, it was not scratched a little. It can be seen that Dark Twelve's archery skills are at their peak .
After all the ministers and workers saw the gray pigeon clearly, they all exclaimed and applauded.
The emperor laughed loudly when he saw the gray-feathered pigeon brought up by the eunuch, and he was a little bit in high spirits: "Okay! It's my general Haoerlang, and he rewarded you with a thousand taels of gold. He really can shoot through Yang with a hundred steps. This northern barbarian warrior is also very good at archery." That’s great, and reward him with a thousand taels of silver.”
An Twelve stepped forward and knelt down on one knee: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward."
The northern barbarian also knelt on one knee to salute.
The people here were happy, but Fabre's face was ugly. When the big northern barbarian returned to his seat, he slapped his whip hard, and there was a bloodstain on the side of his face.
The big man didn't dare to say anything, he could only lower his head and walk behind everyone in a dejected manner.
Fabre is a merciless character, he squinted his eyes, and said in a cold voice: "Useless thing! Go down, Ram! Next time you go, you have to win for me no matter what!"
A strong man with big arms and round waist beside Fabre replied in a low voice: "Yes, Your Royal Highness!"
An Twelve walked back to Zhao Jin's side. Zhao Jin looked at him with wide-eyed smiles, raised his eyebrows at An Twelve, and silently said with his mouth: "Great! Kill him next time!"
Although An Twelve still had no expression on his face, there was a slight smile in his eyes, he nodded slightly, and then turned to the field, his eyes were firm, as sharp as a falcon.
The wrestling field is held in a large circle with a radius of about one meter. If a player is knocked down to the ground, unable to get up or falls out of the circle, they are all losers.
Ram is the unique height of the northern barbarians. He has a round body and weighs nearly 300 kilograms. Standing in the center of the field, he looks like a huge lump of meat, which makes it impossible to start.
And An Twelve stood opposite him, tall and tall, his muscles hidden under his clothes, he was a little thinner compared to Ram who weighed more than 300 kilograms opposite him.
Ram stepped forward aggressively, gave An Twelve a thumbs down motion, said something in Beiman, and then grinned.
After hearing these words, An Twelve's eyes instantly darkened.
