Chapter 180 The First Arrow in the Central Plains

The triennial Arrow Fair arrived as scheduled.

This event in Xiangjian County, just like the Jiangnan dragon boat competition, has become a tradition, and it is also the place where Xiangjian County has been faithful for many years. The Ye family and the Che family in the city have fought for hundreds of years, each with their own victory or defeat. However, the Ye family has won the last two conferences. They are now determined to win three consecutive championships, and have devoted all the resources of the clan to cultivate the masters of Yi Jian.

The Che family was not willing to fall behind. In the last Yi Arrow Conference, Che Chao, the most talented expert in the Che family, received the highest reputation. As a result, the day before the game, he fell off a horse while hunting outside the city and broke his right arm. He was eliminated in the second round and made a comeback this year, preparing to avenge his previous shame and regain the glory of his family.

Among the more than 100 contestants, the two major families account for nearly 40% of the quota, and some are the children of other families in the county. Although their strength is not as good as Ye and Che, over the years, they can occasionally compete for the top ten and top five, and get a job in the army. In Xiangjian County, which has a weak academic atmosphere, it is also a way to make a fortune.

In addition, there are some contestants who come from other prefectures and counties or Central Plains, and speculators who come from taking chances. After all, archery is not a competition. One is talent and the other is fate. There are too many uncertain factors in the middle. Perhaps the blind cat can meet a dead mouse and become famous in one fell swoop. This situation is not without previous sessions. It is said that the last session of Tanhua was not very strong, but he was full of luck. In the promotion competition, he shot three arrows in a row and lost his luck again. The opponents he encountered were performing abnormally.

When encountering such a grand event, although Xiao Jinyan and the others did not sign up for the competition, they were reluctant to go to the countryside and come to watch the battle. The signboards in the city were covered with information about more than a hundred archers. If nothing unexpected happens, within three days, these hundred people will compete in the martial arts field and select this year's King of Arrows.

"I heard that this conference is very high in specifications. It is said that Ye Erro, the deputy general of the Western Military Camp, also came back from the front line to preside over this conference."

"You mentioned Ye Erlang, the son of the second wife of the Ye family six years ago? Now that the war in Western Xinjiang is in a tight position, the military has sent him here. It can be seen that he attaches great importance to this Yi Arrow Conference. Maybe this time the top name will be promoted to a general of the Huozi Camp!"

"No, he went out of our Xiangjian County and was able to say that he had reached the top and made many military achievements. He became a dignified fourth-rank general in just a few years. No wonder the Ye family has been very confident over the years."

When Zhao Langjiang heard Ye Erlang's name, he frowned.

Xiao Jinyan asked, "Do you know each other?"

Zhao Langjiang nodded, "I have met several times." However, he did not continue to say in depth, and Xiao Jinyan was not inconvenient to ask. Zhao Langjiang walked to the notice. Now that the registration time has passed, several soldiers are chatting.

These soldiers were wearing military uniforms from the Military Fire Camp in the West. They were thin, frosty, and their hands were calloused, and they also had a hint of military killing spirit. Zhao Langjiang naturally recognized this murderous spirit, and they were tempered in the military camp for many years. It can be seen that these soldiers were also military personnel.

Zhao Langjiang asked, "Can you still register?"

A soldier said, "It's time passed, but if you really want to go into battle and kill the enemy, we are willing to give you a chance."

Zhao Langjiang asked in confusion, "Go to kill the enemy?"

The Bing Ding said, "Yes, this time the Yi Arrow Conference, General Ye personally came to represent the Huozi Camp in the Western Armory. As long as you can pass the assessment, you will officially become a member of the Huozi Camp and return to the commander of General Ye." The Bing Ding laughed, "Among the four major camps of the Western Armory, the Huozi Camp is the most popular and the military salary is high. You might as well try it! Maybe we can still become colleagues."

Zhao Langjiang laughed and picked up his pen and wrote the name "Tang Erbao" on the registration form.

"Oh, it turns out it's General Tang. I'm really disrespectful, disrespectful!"

Zhao Langjiang looked up and saw that the person who spoke was the bearded beard in the sky with arrows when he entered the city yesterday. He followed Xiao Li Guang and Yang Youtie.

The bearded beard said to Zhao Langjiang, "I thought General Tang would not participate, but it seems that I still couldn't hold back. What, my invitation yesterday is still valid, so why would you consider it?"

Zhao Langjiang was bored and scolded, "Get out!"

Sighing."

The old fairy man seemed to have a bad temper. When he heard the boy's answer, he cursed in a low voice, "A bastard, tell you that you should save the places you should pay, and you should not save what you should not. Keep scattering, and sprinkle him for eight hundred... no, six hundred texts!"

The boy should claim to be.

"Wait." The old immortal said, "Wait for someone to sprinkle more!" He asked another boy again, "How much has the flowers been sprinkled?" The boy lowered his eyebrows and whispered, "Master, sprinkle..."

"Why did I tell you, call me Lao Xianweng!"

"Yes, the old fairy man sprinkled ten kilograms of trumpet flowers, fifteen kilograms of dog tail grass, and the twelve kilograms of peach blossoms that I saved the day before yesterday, and I have never been willing to sprinkle them!"

The old immortal nodded with satisfaction, "It's a good job, you can spend money. You're so careful in your calculations, it's not in vain that your master loves you the most. But do you think your master is short of this little money?"

The boy who is called scattered wealth says, "So!"

"Um?"

"No, what I mean is that Master is generous and blessed, and he will be blessed forever, and will be remembered forever. We disciples can worship you as our teacher, which is really fortunate for three lives!"

This boy who was free of money had never read books, but his master liked to listen to flattery. He studied carefully and spent another ten cents to ask the teacher to teach him a few words. At this moment, he took the opportunity to say it out and please the master.

The old fairy didn't listen carefully, and nodded with satisfaction.

The convoy passed by, Xiao Jinyan and others leaned towards the roadside.

"Who is this person? What a big show!"

When the clang was heard, a gong sounded.

The two teams along the street shouted in unison, "Zhongnan Arrow Fairy, the archery skills are boundless. If anyone does not accept it, shoot through one arrow!" The voice was neat and loud, echoing on the long street.

The convoy came to the signboard.

Donglong, a drum sounded.

In the back row, a flagpole suddenly stood up with five big characters written on it, "The First Arrow in the Central Plains".

Everyone said in unison, "It turns out it's the Zhongnan Arrow Sole!"

Zhongnan Arrows was known as the "No. 1 Arrow in the Central Plains". In the Battle of Jingnan, he made great contributions to the Ming Emperor. After he got this title, he retired and lived in seclusion in the Zhongnan Mountains. He dug out a set of arrows from the tomb of the Living Dead. After his magical skills were achieved, he even claimed to be the best arrow in the world. This person has a weird personality, a bad temper, and is also a big fond of merit. He is also a card-talking person. Whenever he appears, he is crowded with people.

This man had excellent archery skills. After his success, he traveled to Northern Zhou. He was defeated by a disciple of the Divine Arrow Sect in Yi's Arrows, which was regarded as a great humiliation by him. This time, he received the invitation from "Bi" and came to Xiangjian County. He was unwilling to do so, but he did not dare to offend Lord Yuwen. Later, he heard that the descendant of the Divine Arrow Sect in Northern Zhou was also in Xiangjian County, so he agreed to come.

He cherishes his feathers and naturally will not participate in the battle for the Yi Arrow Conference. However, if he could force the Arrow Master out, he would not mind shooting an arrow to make the last time.

There were more and more onlookers, and even many contestants showed respect in their eyes when they saw this Arrow God-level figure. After all, the name of a man and the shadow of a tree, although his behavior and style were a bit exaggerated, he could be named "the first arrow in the Central Plains" by the current emperor, so he naturally had some real skills.

The old fairy man saw almost the same thing and nodded to the two boys.

The boy with money had sharp eyes raised the entire scoop. For a moment, peach blossoms, dog tail grass, and morning glory fell like snow, making the entire martial arts field mess.

Seeing this, another boy also threw a basket of copper coins to the onlookers!

"Bang!"

The boy was slapped, with five fingerprints on his face. The old immortal said in a low voice, "This money will be deducted from your monthly salary!" The boy's face was pale, as if he had lost his parents. "Old immortal, I won't earn enough of these six hundred cigars if I don't eat or drink for three months!"

The old fairy said, "Installations, monthly rate is seven cents."

The boy still had to argue, but the old immortal glared at him, "Isn't it enough to be embarrassed?"

Everyone stepped forward and scrambled, shouting, "The old immortal is such a big deal, I hope the old immortal will spend money again!"

The old immortal frowned and looked at the boy Sancai. Sancai said, "Immortal, I changed my clothes today, I didn't bring any money." He looked at the other boys, and the boys shook their heads and retreated, fearing that they would be targeted by him.

The old immortal stood up slowly. Everyone thought he was going to distribute his wealth himself, and there was another uproar. The old immortal said with a smile: "I was invited to Xiangjian County today. I left in a hurry and didn't bring any money. Maybe, after I won the championship, all the 100-two huge sums will be dispersed!"

Everyone applauded.

"I wish the old immortal flag a victory!"

"The old immortal is unparalleled in archery skills, and he must be the best in the world!"

The old immortal whistled to the sky, "Haha, how dare you? How dare you? It's just a false reputation!" He signaled to the crowd, and one of the people immediately shouted, "Old immortal, the 'First Arrow of Central Plains' hanging on your flag is the current emperor's pen?"

The old fairy smiled but said nothing.

"In my opinion, this title needs to be changed, and it should be changed to 'The No. 1 Arrow in the World'!"

Among the crowd, a woman in red sneered, "Zhongnan Arrow Fairy, exerted endless force, was so thick-skinned that she shot through the cowhide!"

The sound was not loud, but it seemed particularly harsh when the old immortal finished speaking and the crowd was silent.
