It didn't take long for Tao Rui to aim at the coin, judged the wind and wind direction around him, and let him go after seeing the trajectory of the coin.
The arrow in his hand swished out, no one dared to blink, and in an instant they saw the arrow hit the center of the coin and deep into the trunk!
"Shot!" Gao Quan was surprised, and immediately ordered someone to take the coin over.
The emperor also had surprise in his eyes, but with a smile on his face, he gently clapped his palms, "Tao Shizi is good at archery."
Everyone immediately applauded, and the general also laughed and praised, "The hero is a boy, this archery is really incredible."
The general's son's complexion changed slightly, and he held the rein tightly and lowered his head.
The emperor rode on horseback and said loudly: "The hunting competition will begin here, go, let me see what you are capable of!"
"Yes!" All the children responded in unison, turning on their horses and rushing into the woods at the same time. Among them, the son of the general rushed the fastest, and he had already been provoked to win.
Not only him, but also the prime minister's first-in-law son and several other martial arts masters, all quickly rushed to the forefront.
On the contrary, Tao Rui waited on the spot without rushing, Qi Lang stepped forward, and because the emperor was beside him, he urged quietly: "Because of this, hurry up! I was preempted by them."
Tao Rui glanced at him, "I'm afraid you rush in and be knocked down by them. We just need to go back. The prey can't be found when you go in."
The emperor asked indifferently: "Tao Shizi seems to be confident in the comparison test?"
Tao Rui bowed his head to the emperor like any other citizen, respectfully and casually said: "Xiaosheng likes hunting very much, so he is good at it. Does the emperor have the prey he wants? Xiaosheng is willing to offer it to the emperor."
The emperor just wanted to say no, he suddenly remembered that the third princess had always wanted a snow-white fox to play with, and said: "Try if you can catch the white fox alive."
"Yes."
The emperor didn't feel embarrassed at all when he saw that he deserved it. He asked a question that he had always puzzled in his heart. "Tao Shizi is so young that he is not surprised, and he is both civil and military. It is really rare. Why didn't he work for the court?"
Tao Rui replied: "Everything in this world is just passing by, and it will dissipate sooner or later. Since Xiaosheng has not shouldered major responsibilities, he naturally doesn't need to find something for himself. Since childhood, Xiaosheng longed for the sky high and the sea, leisurely and comfortable days, and feared that he would not fit into the court. Without that patience, busy day by day.
However, Xiaosheng believes that there is more than one way to do things. After the young man's birthday is stable, donating money to refugees is also considered a blessing. "
What Tao Rui said fits the artistic conception of the poem he wrote before. The emperor nodded slightly, his expression unchanged, "Go, if you win the championship today, you will have more capital to accumulate fortune."
Tao Rui bowed his hand and asked Qi Lang to rush into the woods. The effort of these few words, everyone else has basically entered, and the two of them are the most conspicuous at the end. Especially the few ministers who had just gotten close when they heard the conversation between the emperor and Tao Rui were a little surprised in their hearts.
They didn't expect that the emperor would recognize Tao Rui without being reminded by others. No wonder Tao Rui's son's name has not been withdrawn. Is there any relationship between them that everyone doesn't know?
The emperor's words clearly affirmed Tao Rui's abilities. The sentence "Do not be surprised, civil and military" is simply an appreciation of Tao Rui. Even the emperor thought Tao Rui could enter the court as an official? And Tao Rui refused?
Several ministers felt a little confused. Fortunately, the emperor didn't talk to them about this. When the children disappeared, the emperor said: "All the Aiqings should go and relax, too. I haven't hunted for a long time. Enjoy it."
The emperor went into the woods after speaking, taking a few guards and thinking about the addiction of hunting. Other ministers naturally followed in, and at least they had to hunt a prey to come back, so as not to be ashamed.
After all of them were gone, the female family members came back to their senses. The fourth princess pulled the sleeves of the third princess and excitedly said: "Sister Sanhuang, that Tao Shizi is so amazing! How can he shoot copper coins? So far, it's still shaking, my God!"
The face of the third princess still had a look of shock, "I didn't expect that the copper coin thing was what I thought, and he could actually shoot."
"Sister Sanhuang, what is this called? A hundred steps to wear Yang? In short, it is very powerful. Can you guess Tao Shizi can win the first prize today? The father seems to have talked to him just now, and the father must appreciate him very much. He is very good at archery." The princess was a little excited. She thought the hunting trip would be boring, but she didn't expect it to be so exciting.
The third princess shook her head, not wanting to guess. She got up and said: "You rest, I will go hunting too, and come back to bring you prey."
The woods where the female family members are active are in another area, separate from the men, so as not to be abrupt. And the prey is also small and gentle, afraid of hurting them.
But the three princesses went back to the tent and secretly changed into men's clothing, and ran around to the man's woods. She was shocked by Tao Rui's archery skills, and she wanted to see how Tao Rui hunted.
Next to her was a person who was given to her by the emperor, who was actually equivalent to a dark guard. He quickly found Tao Rui's position and approached in that direction, preparing to watch from a distance.
[Floating years: Brother Rui, the three princesses are chasing me dressed as men, and seem to be watching your movements. I have never seen a princess with such a curiosity. ]
[Tao Rui: This is the most favored princess, more favored than the prince, one person is more than ten thousand people, she is not surprised what she does. ]
Tao Rui made a gesture, motioned Qi Lang to stop, and fell silent. Then he drew his bow and aimed at a deer whose head was exposed behind a tree in the distance. As soon as the deer moved, he hit the deer's neck with an arrow, and the deer fell over!
Tao Rui waved his hand, and the green pine behind him quickly rushed over and tied the deer on the horse's back.
Tao Rui smiled Qilang, "The third prey."
Qi Lang looked at Qingsong. Qingsong's immediately tied a deer and two roe deer, and they were not small. He said in amazement: "At this speed, you are expected to win the championship."
"Naturally, when did you think I talked big?" Tao Rui continued to move forward. There were fleeting years helping him scan the terrain and guide him. He has become the only person in the paddock who knows the distribution of prey.
He Qilang said: "I'm going to hunt some big guys. You don't have enough effort. Go to a safe place."
Qi Lang agreed without saying a word, and walked in the opposite direction. Originally, I was with Tao Rui because he was worried. Since Tao Rui is fine, of course he is not happy to always see the bloodshed. He is a weak chess player.
Tao Rui left him to look for tigers. It is reasonable to say that there should be no tigers in the paddock, but he accidentally found one in the past few years. He is going to hunt tigers now.
It must be very hard to fight with the sons of the general to win the first prize, because there are only a few types of prey, and if the opponent is strong, they can only win by number and keep running and hunting. too troublesome.
Seeing a tiger at this moment, Tao Rui is about to take a shortcut, a tiger does not know how many prey they can against!
Tao Rui walked according to the fleeting guidelines, but he took a detour and hunted a wild boar.
Qing Song's horseback was about to be tied up. Tao Rui asked him to send these prey back first, which was considered as having taken him away, and now only the three princesses and guards who followed him with the little tail at the back.
Tao Rui thought for a while. They were actually quite a distance away, and tiger hunting could not affect them, so just leave them alone.
Tao Rui had a goal, and soon found the tiger. The tiger is in his prime, and his fur is so smooth. It seems that the food in the paddock is pretty good.
Tao Rui was afraid that the horse would be frightened, so he dismounted from a distance and tied the wind to the tree. He checked the tie ropes on his arms and calves, unloaded his bow and arrows, drew out two daggers, and walked towards the tiger with a smile.
The third princess asked the guard beside him suspiciously, "What did he do? How did he get off the horse? He also put down the bow and arrow."
The guard looked at it carefully for a while, and said in surprise: "Big worm! The princess goes back, there is a big worm!"
"What? Big bug? Tiger?" The third princess widened her eyes, and ran forward a few steps on horseback. Finally she saw the tiger with her own eyes, because Tao Rui had already walked up to the tiger to confront it.
The tone of her low voice changed, "What is Tao Rui doing? Isn't he crazy? Does he want to die? Hurry, go and save him!"
The guard stopped her and said solemnly: "The third princess, please go back to the camp, and your subordinates will escort you back. If there is a big bug in the paddock, you must report it to the emperor immediately to protect the emperor's safety..."
"Roar--"
The guard hadn't finished speaking, Tao Rui had already fought with the tiger over there, and the tiger let out a fierce roar.
Well, no need to report, I believe everyone can hear the tiger's roar.
The guards drew out their sabers to guard the three princesses vigilantly, watching Tao Rui and the tiger come and go and attack each other in shock, Tao Rui was not injured!
Tao Rui has stepped into the threshold of cultivation. No matter how fierce the tiger is, it is only a beast, not a monster. How could it pose a threat to the cultivation? Tao Rui even wants to use it to practice his flexibility and familiarity with moves. After all, after hunting, I have to go back to the ring to compete.
He and the tiger were fighting happily, or he practiced happily, but the three princesses and the guard were suffering, both of them raised their throats. Seeing him avoiding the tiger's mouth several times, the two of them were nervous. My heart is full of sweat.
[Floating years: Brother Rui, others have already rushed over here when they heard the roar. ]
[Tao Rui: Okay, a quick fight and a quick decision. ]
Tao Rui speeded up his movements suddenly, seeing the tiger rushing forward, instead of retreating.
The third princess covered her mouth and exclaimed, "Be careful—"
Tao Rui jumped up and landed on the tiger's back, both hands dropped at the same time, two daggers pierced into the tiger's eyes fiercely!
"Roar—" There was another roar. This time the tiger was not only angry, but also more frightened.
Tao Rui let go of the dagger, punched the tiger with a heavy hammer, and quickly turned to the ground, rolling ten meters away.
The tiger was blind and panicked, and with a heavy blow to the head, he fell to the ground without a few toss.
When all the children and a few ministers arrived, they saw Tao Rui pulling out two daggers from the tiger and wiping them gently, his face was calm.
The general was dumbfounded, and then he laughed, "Okay! The hero is a boy, this is my good son of the Zhou Dynasty, okay!"
"How come there is a big bug? Protect the emperor and investigate quickly."
"Tao Shizi's horse and bow and arrows are here, God, he only took two daggers to kill the big insects."
"There is no knife wound on the worm, this...this is a complete tiger skin."
"What's the difference between this and bare hands? That's amazing!"
The ministers and the aristocratic children talked about it, but the few masters who were good at martial arts and archery didn't speak, watching Tao Rui and the tiger at his feet, no need to compare, they had already lost.
The third princess breathed out slowly, which was too exciting, a bit more exciting than she had imagined. This...is the ring still worthy of comparison?
