Chapter 19 Contest (1)

When I saw Wang Yu, he also saw me. My eyes and I touched the air. Both of us couldn't help but be stunned. We probably didn't expect that the enemy would be so narrow, because we had only made grudges last night and we met again today. Is it really not that enemies would be together?

"He is the son of Wang Bi, the Marquis of Dingyuan? No wonder he was so arrogant last night!" I thought to myself that I had heard that Wang Bi was the leader of the powerful Jinyiwei and could be regarded as the confidant of the emperor's grandfather. Therefore, the reason why his son dared to be so unscrupulous at the feet of the emperor was very clear. At the same time, I finally understood why Chang Huaiyu disliked this marriage so much. Just looking at the actions of Wang Yu yesterday, I knew that he was not a good person.

"The Jinyiwei... Let their Jinyiwei have the only one, and it will be a disaster in the future. If you have the chance, you will have to persuade the emperor's grandfather to set up a new government office to check and balance." At this time, knowing the other party's identity, I also began to worry about myself. After all, it would be absolutely not a good thing to have such an opponent in this situation.

"This one is..." Maybe because I didn't know why I became a guest at the Kaiping Palace, Wang Yu looked at me in a little shocked and asked Chang Huaiyu's father.

"He?" My "future father-in-law" snorted coldly and responded unhappily: "He is just an irrelevant person."

"Oh?" Wang Yu seemed even more surprised when he heard such inexplicable words. His eyes kept looking at me, then turned to look at the Chang Mansion in the hall, and seemed to be unable to understand my identity. However, he seemed to be a clever person, and finally turned his eyes to Chang Huaiyu, who was angrily aside, and immediately smiled and said, "This must be Shimei. This is my first time meeting. This is my little meeting gift. Please don't accept it when you laugh."

Although Wang Yu said it was a "small meeting gift", I sat aside and looked at his hand and saw a pair of earrings inlaid with black pearls inlaid in the exquisite brocade box. When I saw the style carving, I knew it was not an ordinary item. Usually these expensive gadgets are the most popular among my daughters.

My "future father-in-law and mother-in-law" looked at the pair of earrings, and immediately exclaimed, "Tsk tsk, it's really a good-looking thing, Yu'er, why don't you thank you Brother Wang Yu?"

Chang Huaiyu was obviously not very similar to her ordinary daughter's family. She glanced at the pair of earrings in disgust, but didn't even look at Wang Yu, and said coldly: "I don't care about these things!"

Her words choked Wang Yu on the spot. After a moment of surprise appeared on his face, he smiled dryly and withdrew his hand, mocked himself: "Haha, it turns out that Shimei doesn't like these things. I'm really abrupt."

"Nephew, you should take it to your heart. This daughter has been spoiled by us since childhood. She is really lacking in etiquette." My "future father-in-law" took over Wang Yu's pair of earrings, patted him on the shoulder, and comforted him.

Wang Yu waved his hand quickly and said, "It's okay, it's okay, Shimei is straightforward, how can I take such a thing into my heart!"

Everyone sat down. Chang Yuchun, who was sitting in the middle, looked at Wang Yu for a long time, and finally asked, "I heard that you practice martial arts very diligently on your daily life, and you can use swords, knights, and archery. All kinds of weapons can be used to make things easy, right?"

"Grandpa Chang has been awarded, and I just like to learn some martial arts with my father!" Wang Yu was arrogant last night, but in front of everyone, he seemed very humble and polite, and he was completely different.

"Oh, that's it..." Chang Yuchun didn't know what he was thinking when he heard this, but suddenly frowned, as if he had made a decision, turned his head and said to me, "I heard from Huaiyu that you can do martial arts, and you can shoot a good arrow, right?"

"What does he want to do?" When I muttered like this in my heart, I didn't dare to be negligent at all. I nodded quickly and agreed.

"That's good!" Chang Yuchun stood up and said, "Our Chang family created this family business with martial arts. Today, since you two young people want to become the county horses of our Kaiping Palace, then we will have a dignified battle to see who can beat the other side. Then I will marry my precious granddaughter to him!"

I was stunned when I heard this, and then turned around and looked at Chang Huaiyu. I really didn't expect that I would still be able to "break the head and fight for my wife" with others. What made me most uneasy is that what I used to bet on this contest was not something related to me, but Chang Huaiyu's marriage event.

Chang Huaiyu probably never expected her grandfather to say such things suddenly, and immediately stood up and shouted: "Grandpa, I don't want to marry him. I already have a crush on someone...you still..."

Wang Yu clearly heard Chang Yuchun's words. He probably understood the reason why I appeared in Kaiping Palace today. When his eyes looked at me, I could clearly see that his resentful hatred was so bone-bone.

"Dad, how could you let Yu'er marry such a poor boy?" Maybe he didn't agree with Chang Yuchun leaving me a little chance. My "future father-in-law" immediately complained and said to the old man.

Chang Yuchun's face turned right, waved his hand to his son, and said unquestionably: "What a poor boy? Do you think your father was not a poor boy back then? Needless to say, I have decided, whoever wins will be my grandson-in-law and son."

It seems that Chang Yuchun is the one who has absolute authority in the royal palace. As soon as he said this, Chang Huaiyu and her parents didn't dare to speak. They turned their eyes to look at Wang Yu and me, and didn't know what they were thinking.

Wang Yu had already seen my martial arts last night. His eyes rolled very quickly and asked, "Grandpa Chang, I wonder what you want us to compete?"

After thinking about it, Chang Yuchun said, "Let's do this, you can compare to bow shooting, riding and horse fighting!"

I felt a little relieved when I heard this. When talking about the two things like bow shooting and horse fighting, I was very confident. As long as I tried my best to do my riding skills, I thought that the wins of 80% of the time in three sets and two wins. Therefore, when Chang Yuchun came to ask, I immediately nodded and agreed.

Wang Yu didn't know what my archery skills were, but he didn't seem to be afraid that my horse would work better than him. After thinking for a while, he nodded and agreed: "Okay, then I'll fight for this time for Shimei."

Seeing that both of us agreed readily, Chang Yuchun immediately ordered his servants to go to the back garden to make a reservation. After a while, we finally prepared. After a long time, we all walked into the back garden under Chang Yuchun's leadership.

Speaking of which, the royal palace is the royal palace. The back garden is so big that it can be built with another huge house. These two standard targets are erected on the flat grass of the garden, and the people under the people are also waiting with bows and arrows.

Actually, to be honest, although Wang Yu and I were going to compete for three sets, the most important thing was the comparison of the first archery game. Because my riding skills were not good, and Wang Yu's horse skills were weaker than me, so who could beat the opponent in archery game, even if he had half the chance of winning. I had thought of this before, but because I had specialized exercises in my eyes and hand power when I followed my master to throw hidden weapons, I was full of confidence in my archery skills.

When we were all ready, Chang Yuchun said: "Okay, archery is the most important thing in the army, it depends on who you shoots the arrow more accurately."

"Grandpa Chang, let me do it first!" Before I could speak, Wang Yu had already snatched up and took the arrow from the servant and said in a hurry. I moved slightly in my heart and immediately understood Wang Yu's intentions. You must know that the person who shot first had no scruples, so he could be more calm and composed. On the contrary, if the person watching from the side saw the person who shot well in front of me, he would definitely find it difficult to calm down due to pressure.

However, from Wang Yu's actions, I can also see that he has certain confidence in his archery skills. Otherwise, if he would not shoot first but not well, it would not only be stressful for me later, but would increase my confidence.

Wang Yu held the long bow in his hand, and saw his lower body calmly pulling down a waist horse, and then slowly raising the arrow... I was shocked when I saw this. Just looking at his posture, I knew that his archery skills were definitely not weak, because the most important thing in archery was the calmness of the lower body and the uprightness of the upper body. Then, when the fingers were used to shoot the arrow together, they would probably have a certain accuracy. When practicing this archery posture when you were proficient, even if you only looked at the target and closed your eyes, you could shoot the red heart.

Wang Yu was obviously very good at the essence of this archery technique. His posture was flawless in my eyes. When I noticed that Chang Yuchun, who was beside me, couldn't help but stroke his beard and nodded.

"You can't lose, you can't lose no matter what!" Seeing Wang Yu shoot two arrows one after another, I'm not a pedantic person, I immediately became interested and thought about how to make him lose his correctness.

Suddenly, I saw Chang Huaiyu's parents deliberately praise Wang Yu's archery skills by Chang Huaiyu, which made Chang Huaiyu walk to the side with an unhappy look. I suddenly moved my heart and secretly moved two steps towards her and whispered: "Ms. Chang, after Wang Yu shot those five arrows later, you can take five more arrows for him to replace them!" You must know that this archery competition will make sure that each person will shoot ten arrows, and then look at the result of the ten arrows hitting the target. Therefore, every time the five arrows in the quiver are shot, you have to go down and replace them once.

Chang Huaiyu didn't understand what I wanted to do, so she frowned and said annoyedly: "I won't go, why should I hand him an arrow?"
