Chapter 639 Not a draw

   Princess Xijiang hit the bullseye with a single arrow, which made the atmosphere in the room instantly tense, and everyone watched Qiao Zhao's performance with bated breath.

  Qiao Zhao held the longbow and aimed at the target.

   In her ears, the words of the younger brother-in-law Shao Xiyuan on the martial arts field of the Marquis of Jing An rang out.

   "Second sister-in-law, you have nothing to do every day anyway, how about I teach you archery?"

"Second sister-in-law, you can't shoot far with little strength, let's practice aiming, our Shao family has a stunt in archery. If you learn it well according to my teaching, you will definitely be able to penetrate Yang with a hundred steps, er, no, you will definitely not be able to shoot a hundred steps. …”

"Hey, second sister-in-law, I found that although it is very difficult for you to learn our Shao family's boxing and kicking skills, and you have no talent at all, you still have some talent for learning archery. I know, this must be related to the quiet temperament of the second sister-in-law. My father said , If you want to shoot accurately, you must first calm down, and then you can stabilize your hands."

  …

   Thinking of these memories that seemed to be a long time in the past, Qiao Zhao couldn't help but gently lift the corners of his mouth.

  She has lived in that deep house compound for nearly three years. After getting acquainted with her brother-in-law Shao Xiyuan, she has practiced archery with him for more than two years. It can be said that as long as the distance from the target is not far, the accuracy of the head is not bad.

  Grandfather once said that the skill is not overwhelming, because you don't know when the skill you have learned can help you, or even save your life. So don't waste the talent that God gave you, and don't spend all the good times in sorrow.

  Qiao Zhao held the longbow slowly, and the lady's seat began to be filled with unease.

   "What happened to Miss Reisan? Standing there holding the bow, there was no response."

   "Oops, is Miss Li San having stage fright?"

   "Actually... Miss Li San's stage fright doesn't blame her, how old is she, the two wins just now are so beautiful, no one can match her."

   "Yes, but if we lose this match, Daliang will lose to Xi Jiang, and then that nasty Princess Xi Jiang will speak yin and yang again."

   "We can only blame our bad luck. Who let the archery draw in the last match? If you draw chess or painting, I think Miss Li San will definitely win that Princess Xijiang."

   Just as the ladies were whispering, Qiao Zhao moved.

   She stared at the archery target dozens of steps away, her heart completely calmed down, and no sound could be heard in her ears, as if she had returned to the familiar martial arts field.

   That martial arts field was probably the only bright color in her memories of the Jing'an Houfu.

   Her sweat was shed there, and it also carried the vague hope that was pressing in her heart.

  She grew up from a young age to a woman of two decades. In fact, she has always been curious about the husband that her grandfather chose for her. The curiosity accumulated in her heart and gradually fermented into a vague goodwill.

   That young general was chosen by her grandfather. She trusted her grandfather's vision, how could she have no expectations for him.

   The strings fell, and the arrows flew out like shooting stars. Many noble girls were so frightened that they closed their eyes and did not dare to see the result.

   No sound could be heard around, some noble ladies closed their eyes and pulled the sleeves of the people next to them: "Did you get hit? Did you hit?"

   Soon came the helpless voice of the person next to him: "Don't pull me, I didn't dare to look!"

  Fortunately, the person in charge of the inspection quickly announced the result: "Only hit the bull's eye, Miss Li San gets ten points."

   Hearing this result, the Daliang ladies all forgot about Su Ri's modesty and dignified, and cheered loudly.

   Princess Xijiang suddenly glanced at Qiao Zhao, but saw that the other party was standing still with his eyes lowered, and there was no reaction at all.

   Princess Xijiang frowned.

   What do you want to do by putting on the appearance of such an expert? She won't be intimidated!

   "The princess can shoot the second arrow."

   Princess Xijiang let out a light breath, adjusted her posture, and shot the second arrow.

   is the bullseye again!

   "Miss Li San, it's your turn."

  Qiao Zhao was different from Princess Xijiang, his expression and posture did not change at all, he bent the bow and pulled the string to shoot the second arrow.

   "On the bull's-eye, Miss Li San gets ten points!"

   Princess Xijiang bit her lower lip.

   I never thought that there are still women in this world who press her down everywhere without saying anything, and there is no shortcoming.

  Fortunately, although she is not as good as the master of Inna County in archery, she is also outstanding among women. It is not difficult to shoot such a stationary target as long as all ten arrows hit the bullseye.

   "On the bull's-eye, the princess gets ten points!"

  …

   "On the bull's-eye, Miss Li San gets ten points!"

  The ladies were dazzled, a heart fell and was lifted, lifted and dropped, and in the end, it was a little numb.

   "On the bull's-eye, Miss Li San gets ten points!"

   For a while, the two people standing in the field did not respond.

   "Why don't you continue to ejaculate?" a noble girl murmured.

   "It seems, it seems that the comparison is over..."

   "Compared? I sound like it's always been ten."

   "Yes, so, Miss Li San and Princess Xijiang have drawn?"

   The person who recorded the score announced the result: "The princess and Miss Li San both hit the bull's-eye with ten arrows, and each scored 100 percent. This match is tied—"

   "Wait a minute." Qiao Zhao interrupted the man suddenly.

   Seeing everyone looking over, Qiao Zhao gave Princess Mu a slight nod: "Princess, I would like to ask you to send someone to check the arrow stack. This game should not be a draw."

   When Qiao Zhao said these words, everyone present was stunned.

  What does Miss Reisan mean? They both watched with wide eyes at the performance of the two just now. They both hit ten out of ten, how could it not be a draw?

   Princess Mu instructed the female officer beside her: "Go and check the target."

  The female officer was ordered to go to check, and saw an arrow stuck in the center of the two targets. She replied, "Report to the princess, the last arrow of the princess and Miss Li San is on the target."

   Princess Mu looked at Qiao Zhao: "Miss Li San, this—"

   "The princess might as well ask someone who is proficient in archery to check it out."

   Princess Xijiang sneered: "This game is obviously tied, why does Miss Li repeatedly ask people to check? Is it because you feel unwilling to tie with this princess?"

   The other party was a foreign princess, Qiao Zhao didn't want to take advantage of his words, and looked at Princess Mu with a calm expression.

   Princess Mu pondered for a while and said, "Well, I'll send someone to the East Garden to ask a guest who is proficient in archery to judge. They haven't seen the process of the competition, and the judgement will be fairer. What does the princess think?"

   Princess Xijiang smiled and nodded: "Princess please."

  In the East Garden, King Mu's eyes flickered when he got the news: "Uh, there is a controversy in the West Garden archery test? Mingming Princess and Miss Li both hit the bull's-eye with ten arrows, but Miss Li said it wasn't a draw?"

   "Yes, my lord. The princess asks you to choose someone who is proficient in archery to judge."

  Shao Mingyuan stood up: "I'll go take a look."

   King Mu smiled: "Master Hou, your fiancée is a contestant. If you go, I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince the public. Well, we are not weak in archery, so let's go and see together."

   Shao Mingyuan was also curious about the results of the competition over there, and nodded in agreement.

   Several people went over together, and after checking the two arrow stacks, they all pointed to one of the arrow stacks and said, "Whoever shoots this arrow stack is the winner."
