Master Kong Zhongni

Chapter 77
Seeing that Zai Yu was about to make a mess again, Yan Hui and Zi Gong saw that the situation was not good, they both stretched out one foot and stepped on Zai Yu's shoe.

"Silence!"

Confucius climbed up the east steps, walked up to Lu Jun and bowed his hands in salute.

"Please order the monarch, match the three couplers, and start the test firing!"

Lu Jun nodded and said, "Yun!"

Confucius took the order and turned around, announcing the king's order on the high platform.

"Order a doctor to form a couple, and a scholar to form a couple!
If the number of doctors is insufficient, scholars will make up for them one by one, form a couple with the doctors, and serve the doctors to shoot! "

The majestic sound shook all directions and spread all over the country. The high officials and scholars all stood up and bowed their hands in salute, and the whole venue was full of the sound of sleeves rubbing.

"Only by the king's order!"

One just flattened, and another sound rose.

Confucius ordered: "Mengsun Heji, Shusun Zhouqiu!"

After hearing the words, the two first stood together, and then stepped forward in unison. When they came to the middle of the road and stood still, they turned together towards the east steps where Confucius was standing, and bowed their hands in salute.

"exist!"

"Order the two of you to form a couple and carry out test shooting!"

"Leader!"

The two leaned over to face the direction of the east steps, and after taking three steps back, they turned around and walked towards the dressing room under the west steps.

Confucius said again: "Ran Meng, Zai Yu!"

Jae Yu was watching the excitement, when his name was suddenly called, he trembled all of a sudden, and almost agreed directly.

Fortunately, Yan Hui reminded him: "Wait until you get to the center before answering."

Only then did Zai Yu wake up, he glanced at Ran Meng not far away from the corner of his eye, followed his example, walked to the middle of the road in unison, and turned around to answer.

"exist!"

Confucius nodded slightly, and then said loudly: "Order you two to form a couple and start the test shooting!"

"Leader!"

After receiving the order, Zaiyu turned around and came to the dressing room, changed into the arrow suit, exposed his left arm, put on the arm armor prepared in advance, and then put on the jade ring finger that Wu Feng gave him.

Until now, Jae Yu's little heart is still beating hard.

It was already an unexpected joy to choose me to participate in the big shooting instrument, and even let me participate in the three-couple test shooting. Is this recommended by the master, or is it Yang Hu's effort?

As soon as he walked out of the dressing room, he heard someone greet him.

"Son me."

Zaiyu turned his head to look, and hastened to meet: "Mencius."

Mengsun Heji smiled and nodded: "Today's Dasheyi, work harder, and don't disappoint the expectations of my master and me!"

After finishing speaking, he turned to Ran Meng who was behind Jae Yu and said, "My son, it's my first time to participate in the shooting ceremony. I'm not as experienced as you, the number one fighter in the Lu Kingdom. You should take care of him."

The number one strongman in the Lu Kingdom?
Zai Yu looked Ran Meng up and down.

Why don't you say that you are the No. [-] Batulu in the Qing Dynasty?

Hearing this, Ran Meng laughed understandingly and said: "Don't worry, Mencius, from my point of view, Ziwo's skills are not inferior to mine at all. Even if I don't take care of him, Ziwo may not be able to beat me."

Jae Yu was listening to the conversation between the two, no matter how it sounded, it felt like slang.

What does it mean?
Want to walk me?

Zaiyu glanced at Mengsun Heji, then at the master on the east steps who presided over the ceremony, and at Yang Hu who was waiting beside the monarch and Ji Sunsi.

He suddenly remembered a movie he had seen in the library before, and a line popped into his head.

The ball certificate, circumstantial evidence, and all the sponsors and co-organizers are all mine. What do you use to fight me?

hiss……

My advantage seems to be great!

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the master strode down the east steps, saluted to all sides, and then came to the shooting range to stand still.

He will demonstrate the shooting rules for everyone, according to the gunnery protocol.

The breeze was blowing, the sun was shining brightly, and the scorching sun shone on the dark neck of the master, shining a glistening sweat.

Confucius drew out the arrow and put it on the bowstring, took a deep breath, narrowed his eyes slightly, and then loosened the bowstring suddenly.

The arrow flew out, piercing through the cloth!
Before everyone cheered and applauded, another arrow had already been pulled out from his waist, and he fired it again while breathing.

In the blink of an eye, arrows shot out in succession, and there were three sounds of jittering in the air, followed by the sound of piercing cloth.

The action was so fast that even the little shooter who was in charge of checking the results didn't react.

It wasn't until Confucius reminded them that they woke up like a dream and entered the shooting range to check.

Not long after, the four little archers all stood still, holding the red flag high in their hands.

"All four hits, hit, slam!"

There was a burst of cheers from the crowd outside the venue.

"color!!!"

Zai Yu couldn't help wiping the sweat off his forehead.

Master!Master!

You are too full of pressure!

You hit a grand slam with four shots at the beginning, if I miss the target later, how can I go out to meet people in the future?

Zaiyu followed the crowd to the shooting position nervously.

On the shooting range ahead, three brand new shooting cloths rose up.

Confucius loudly announced the test-firing rules.

"The King's shot is painted with a shot cloth decorated with bears!
The doctor shoots the cloth decorated with leopards and moose!

Shishe paintings are decorated with Shebu!
If the shot is not the shot that should be shot, it will not be counted in the final calculation of the score! "

According to the rules, Ran Meng will shoot first.

He bent his bow and set his arrow, and didn't even aim at it intentionally, but threw it casually.

The arrow shot out crookedly and fell limply.

The little shooter immediately raised the black flag and shouted loudly: "Ran Meng, one shot, missed the target!"

Ok?
Zai Yu frowned, realizing that the matter was not simple.

Ran Meng missed the target, but he didn't lose his good mood. Instead, he came over with a smile and patted Jae Yu's shoulder and said.

"My son, as Mencius said, this is your chance. However, if you don't grasp it, you will drink my wine later."

Zai Yu immediately understood what he meant.

Is it for me to co-author this post?
The next two rounds are going to be serious with me?

Then you really underestimated me, Zaizi.

Zaiyu adjusted his breath and stepped forward, took out the compound bow carefully made by Mr. Zhang, held his breath, and aimed the shooting cloth with the sight.

With the strength of the arms, the bowstring was gradually stretched back. With the rotation of the pulley block, the bowstring was gradually pulled out by Zaiyu for a full moon.

Sometimes confidence is not enough, then use your strength to make it up!
Zai Yu blushed, and suddenly let go of the bowstring, and the arrow shot out like a straight laser.

The arrow pierced through the cloth like a bamboo, but after piercing through the cloth, its power did not decrease at all, but instead gave people the illusion of becoming stronger.

The air flow moved, driving the fallen leaves on the ground, and only heard a muffled 'thump', and the arrow was directly nailed to the leather baffle a hundred steps away.

If you observe carefully, you will find that even the arrow has sunk into the baffle by as much as two or three inches, and it can penetrate the baffle by just a little bit, and the onlookers who are hiding behind the baffle to watch the excitement are shocked.

The Chinese people near the baffle were all terrified by Zai Yu's arrow.

The unlucky guy standing directly behind the baffle was originally tasting the free turbid wine provided by Dasheyi.

Unexpectedly, when Zai Yu's arrow flew towards him, he was so frightened that he even threw away the wine goblet in his hand, and the wine directly spilled all over his body.

The present officials and scholars looked at this scene, each stunned, and the whole audience was silent.

Lu State's big shooting instrument has been in operation for so many years, and everyone has basically experienced what kind of things.

You have seen people who shoot accurately, and people who are so strong that they can break their bows.

But it is the first time that everyone can penetrate the baffle beyond 150 steps.

This is not something that can be achieved by strength alone, it takes a talented archer with both strength and skill to achieve this level.

For a while, everyone didn't know how to evaluate.

In the silence, Yang Hu was the first to make a sound for Zai Yu.

He shouted: "Good! Good!"

Yang Hu came to Lu Jun and congratulated him, "Congratulations, Monarch!"

Lu Jun was still in a daze, so he couldn't help asking, "Why is there such a thing?"

Yang Hu laughed loudly and said: "People all over the world say that Chu has an arrow god to support Youji, but he can scare away the three armies of Jin with one arrow.

I didn't expect that there would be such a brave man as Zaiyu in our country of Lu. This is really a blessing from heaven to our country of Lu!
There are such first-class talents and warriors in China, shouldn't I congratulate you? "

Mengsun Heji and others also gradually recovered from the shock, and they also said with a smile.

"Yangzi's words are very true! Such a warrior is only used as a husband, I'm afraid it's a waste of talent.

In my opinion, even if he is promoted to another level, it is not a bad idea! "

　I don't know how many recommendation tickets I will like in my life, and I don't know which one I will like until the end.
