As a lord, I was forced to farm

Chapter 686: Recruiting Talents (4)

Zhang Wenfeng stood there blankly for a while, and then revealed a disdainful smile, "You want to confuse my mind with this trick? I have lived for so many years, I have seen all kinds of big scenes, and I have experienced countless life and death dangers. You let my son be a target, trying to shake me, but this is completely useless."

Jiang Ran clapped her hands, "Then let's see the wonderful performance of the archer. Zhou Bao, you lead the people to set up the venue, and have it ready for me within two quarters of an hour."

"Yes!"

The venue is located in the open-air square outside the first floor of Qushui Tower.

It was night, and the lights inside the room drove away some of the darkness outside, but it was still not as bright as daytime.

The traffic of Qushui Tower has been very good since its opening. At this moment, there are many guests coming and going. Zhou Bao and his men are making quite a noise in setting up the venue. If anyone is interested, they will know what is going to happen after asking around.

"Competition? Who is the double champion Jiang Bole going to compete with in archery?"

"Who is Zhang Wenfeng? I seem to have heard of her name."

"This person is quite famous. He graduated from Mingxiao College and was an instructor of horse riding and archery courses at Mingxiao College for several years."

It is human nature to love watching fun. When the guests heard that Jiang Ran was going to compete with Zhang Wenfeng, they stopped drinking and eating and gathered around the competition venue to watch.

It was dark at night, and Zhou Bao and his companions did not light any extra lamps. They could only rely on the lights in Qushui Tower and the light emitted by the dreamy night pearls in Longzhu Spring to vaguely look at the target in the distance.

I saw two young men standing about a hundred meters away. There was a round target on the top of their heads, on the left side of their hearts, on both sides of their necks, and on both sides of their thighs. The target was very small, almost the size of an apple.

According to the rules, the closer the shot is to the center of the target, the higher the score.

"Mother, what are you doing?" Weng Qing's young face was full of confusion.

Zhang Wenfeng touched Weng Qing's head and said, "Good boy, stay here and don't move. I will win the game."

On the other side, Jiang Ran stroked Jiang Nancheng's shoulder and said soothingly, "Are you okay? Forget about being scared. I'll find someone else."

Thanks to Batman and Golconda's investigation, Jiang Ran knew the life stories of the twenty-six people at the banquet, and had also analyzed their personalities to some extent.

It's like a job interview. The interviewer asks the applicant a variety of questions, and the applicant will in turn analyze whether the company is worth going to. It's a two-way, tentative relationship.

For example, Cheng Yuying's final attack was actually a test of her own strength. If she hadn't handled the situation well enough at that time, how could she establish perfect authority in the hearts of others?

Zhang Wenfeng, who was at the Sea of ​​Consciousness Realm, was one of the most noteworthy people among them. At that time, she had thought, what was the most effective way to convince an extremely proud person?
——Of course, by defeating her in the area where she is best.

But even though Jiang Ran was quite confident in her archery skills, she did not dare to be overconfident. Even if a great archer like Zhang Wenfeng intervened, it would be difficult for her to fail.

In order to take precautions, Jiang Ran envisioned a unique way of playing.

Therefore, he managed to "lure" Zhang Wenfeng's son Weng Qing over, and sent a message to Jiang Nancheng the night before, "Nancheng, are you willing to be my target?"

Unexpectedly, Jiang Nancheng didn't listen to Jiang Ran's explanation too much, and said simply, "As long as Sister needs me, I can do anything. I will ask Master Yuan for leave now!"

Back to the present, hearing Jiang Ran's question, Jiang Nancheng smiled gently, blinked, and said cunningly, "Sis, Xiaowen is not here. In my heart, who else is more important than me? Who else can replace me?"

Jiang Nancheng raised his eyebrows, which made Lian Xiang, who was watching nearby, sigh that they were indeed siblings. The expression of Young Master Nancheng at this moment was very similar to that of the high-spirited County Lord.

Jiang Nancheng said: "...Besides, I'm not afraid. I know how powerful my sister is. Even if she is a master archer, what can she do?" Hearing this, Jiang Ran only said, "I won't hurt you."

Jiang Ran and Zhang Wenfeng returned to the starting line. In order to be fair, they had to use bows and arrows of the same level, so the bows and arrows provided nearby were the advanced version of Su Hong's specialty bamboo deer bows and arrows, the Jinglu bows and arrows.

Zhang Wenfeng was looking down to check and select a fine deer bow, and was trying out the feel of it.

After a while, Zhang Wenfeng raised her head and said, "Okay, no problem."

The sword is on the verge of breaking out.

Jiang Ran slightly turned sideways, stood with her head stretched out, and drew the bowstring to its full extent. The target in the distance was extremely clear in her eyes. She pulled the string and put the arrow on it. In a breath, an arrow flew away like a flowing cloud in an instant.

Hitting the bull's eye! And that target was exactly the one above Jiang Nancheng's head!

After the arrow was fired, there was a moment of silence followed by an uproar. A bystander said, "How daring! Jiang Bole shot the first arrow straight at the vital point. It is said that the person on the target is her own brother. Isn't she afraid that if she misses, she will shoot through her own brother's brain?"

"call out!!!!"

Zhang Wenfeng was very competitive, but was not affected by Jiang Ran. He drew his bow and shot an arrow. In the same breath, a powerful arrow turned into an afterimage. The next moment, the arrow hit the target above Weng Qing's head.

Perhaps to provoke Jiang Ran, Zhang Wenfeng's arrow was very powerful, and the target on Weng Qing's head was turned into powder by that arrow.

Compared to Jiang Ran's light arrow just now, Zhang Wenfeng's attack was obviously more worth watching. The onlookers were visibly more excited than before, and their voices were boiling.

"Oh~~ This arrow is like piercing through the clouds and breaking through the sun, so powerful!"

Zhang Wenfeng put down the bow, showing a satisfied smile, and then said to Jiang Ran, "It seems that the target you prepared is too fragile. I haven't even started to work hard, and the target has turned into powder."

Lian Xiang, who was not far away, saw this scene and was somewhat unhappy with her attitude towards her own county lady. She couldn't help but curl her lips and thought to herself: She is not in her teens anymore, she is already very old, and she is still so competitive.

Jiang Ran glanced at Zhang Wenfeng calmly and said to Zhou Bao, "Deputy Commander Zhou, change the target."

Zhang Wenfeng's arrow was very powerful, but both of them hit the bull's eye, so in terms of winning or losing, they were still tied.

The target was replaced, and Jiang Ran was still calm, drawing the bow and shooting arrows. Zhang Wenfeng had been holding her breath since she saw Jiang Ran, and naturally did not want to lose.

The two men fought back and forth in a tense situation. The target was originally only a hundred meters away, but later on, the target was farther and farther away from the starting shooting point, and now it was already three hundred meters away.

Of course, this distance is nothing to Jiang Ran and Zhang Wenfeng who have excellent eyesight.

The audience was so excited that they even set up a bet on their own, asking, "Who will win?"

"I'll beat Zhang Wenfeng!"

"Of course I have to beat Jiang Ran and Jiang Bole!"

Their names were mentioned frequently.

But there are actually four participants in this game.
