Dominate the ancient academy

Chapter 193 The game is in progress

The first team finished very quickly. There was basically no one who performed poorly. No matter how badly they performed, they could still hit the target. The only difference was the number of rings they hit. Of course, there were also many who hit the center of the bull's eye. There were even several who performed all kinds of dazzling moves on horseback. Overall, they looked very handsome.

When the first team finished, the second team quickly followed. Shu Xiaoxiao spotted the eldest brother Shu Tingyu in the team and shouted happily: "Come on, eldest brother, you will win!"

Her elder brother has to step in, so this support must be arranged.

This scene really felt like a school sports meet. It felt soulless without the cheerleaders. I felt much more comfortable after hearing this shout. Otherwise, I always felt like there was something stuck in my chest and it was uncomfortable.

It feels so refreshing to shout out in this situation!

Seeing the horses set off, Shu Xiaoxiao shouted, "Come on, big brother! Big brother will win!"

The others were all watching quietly, with perhaps a few excited glances. They had their own reserve and bearing, and shouting in public was really inappropriate and inappropriate.

But seeing Shu Xiaoxiao working so hard, they looked at Shu Tingyu who was obviously more capable, and the children started shouting along. For a while, slogans like "Big brother will win" and "Come on, Dad" rang out one after another.

The shouts were so loud that they drowned out the sound of the drums. There were also arguments on the spot about who would win and who would not. The atmosphere suddenly became heated. The roars from the audience were even more intense than those from the field, turning the atmosphere into a sports meeting in seconds.

Shu Xiaoxiao felt that the people who participated in the competition were actually quite good. They were also a place with many talented people! On second thought, the emperor was sitting there, and those who were not good at riding and shooting would not dare to come out and embarrass themselves.

Unfortunately, when the first team finished, the eldest brother Shu Tingyu obviously failed to live up to his sister's expectations. There was no way he could win, and his result was only average in the first team. After the three teams finished competing and were ranked, he would probably drop down.

Looking at the elder brother who was coming over, Shu Xiaoxiao sighed and said, "Brother, have you been slacking off? You need to practice more to improve your grades, otherwise..."

Shu Xiaoxiao pointed to her throat and continued, "I'm sorry for my throat."

Shu Tingyu calmed his breath and replied, "I am now the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple. I have so many affairs to deal with every day that I am very busy. It is good to be able to maintain this level. If your second brother is here, he will have a good chance of winning the championship."

The second younger brother has loved martial arts since childhood. His martial arts skills are better than his and he is also feared on the battlefield. He now tends to be a civil servant. If he were not afraid that his father would come back to test him, his martial arts skills would definitely decline.

To be honest, it feels pretty good to have someone cheering for him. This sister is more caring than his brother. He is very satisfied with this achievement. Moreover, the saddle invented by his sister also accounts for a large part of the credit. After all, Daning is a plain area and has always been inferior to the barbarians in horse riding and archery. Because of the reason for horse riding and archery, Daning has suffered a lot at the hands of the barbarians.

Also because of problems with horses, riding skills, etc., Daning did not have many cavalry. Because the manpower and material resources required to train cavalry were too great, the cavalry had always been small and elite, and most of them were infantry.

But now with saddles and iron horseshoes, the training of cavalry has become much simpler. Soldiers can easily stabilize their bodies on horses with saddles, and archers in the army can also be easily transformed into cavalry, which saves a lot of time.

There are also horse hooves that reduce the loss of horses. I heard that not only is the number of cavalry in Daning gradually increasing, but they have also won battles against the barbarians. This year, they have saddles and iron hooves. Even if the barbarians dare to invade Daning, the soldiers on the border will not be afraid.

It is because of these achievements that he is not panicked because his sister has charmed so many people. As long as the emperor doesn't care, his sister will be fine.

As for his sister's identity, although he had revealed it to the emperor in advance, his weight was not enough. He just told the emperor what happened. Although the emperor helped to keep it secret and did not pursue it, he did not express his opinion. Now it's just that his sister is smart. The emperor probably thinks a lot about these things invented by his sister. He didn't dare to find out what the emperor thinks.

We have to wait for my father to come back. Because of their former comradeship, the relationship between my father and the emperor is closer than that between ordinary monarchs and subjects.

Let his father go to the emperor to reminisce the past, have a chat, and build up their emotional relationship. At least he must get his father to persuade the emperor to promise not to punish his sister but to protect her. As for his sister's marriage, he must find a way to get the emperor to promise that his sister is free to marry. Otherwise, based on his sister's ability, it would be bad if the emperor lets her marry any prince. Once you enter the palace, it's like being in a deep sea. The backyards of those princes are almost the same. He can't bear to see his sister being bullied and tortured in those princes' backyards.

He has only one sister, and there is only one such lady in the general's mansion. There is no need for his sister to arrange marriage or anything like that. When she reaches a certain age, he will personally help her find a few docile and obedient men. They don't have to be too powerful, but they just have to be manageable by his sister, so that she won't be wronged after getting married.

Alas, but for now, we have to wait until my father comes back to deal with it.

When Shu Xiaoxiao heard about the second brother, she felt a sense of strangeness. She had never met him before and couldn't really feel familiar with him. But when she thought about the gifts she had always received, she felt a sense of familiarity and asked curiously, "When will the second brother come back?"

Her second brother is a young general. 'The young general is full of vigor and ambition. His ambitions are burning with passion, and he rides his cavalry through the chaos of war.' My second brother should be such a high-spirited general. I am looking forward to it.

Shu Tingyu was thinking about that, but he didn't show it on his face. He said gently, "It depends on the war situation over there. If the war is not so intense, he will definitely come back if there is a chance."

On the battlefield, people usually stay away for several years. The situation changes rapidly, and coming back also depends on the situation. It has been several years since his father and the others came back, so there is a great possibility that they will come back this year, but he is not very sure, so he did not mention it, so as to avoid making his sister happy for nothing.

"Don't shout so loudly, what if your throat becomes hoarse? Drink some honey water later."

"I can't help it. It's so exciting that I just want to scream it out."

The last team, Yun Qinghan was among them, and there were also several princes. This team should be mostly composed of royal relatives and sons of royal families, all of them in high spirits. They were on the same track, which also saved the chance of cheating, so it was relatively fair and just.

Hey, Brother Yun standing there on his horse is a beautiful sight! But perhaps because of their status, the overall appearance of this team is still very good.

The higher their status, the more beautiful their mothers must be, and this is inherited slowly, so they all look pretty. It has to be said that the scene of this row of contestants standing upright on their horses is very pleasing to the eyes!

This was the case in ancient times. In modern times, this scene, whether it is a picture or a video, needs to be preserved so that you can take it out from time to time to reminisce. Just looking at it will make you feel much better.

Seeing such a handsome scene, with familiar senior brothers in it, I have to shout that slogan!

Yun Qinghan had just gotten ready when Shu Xiaoxiao shouted "We must win", making the atmosphere even more enthusiastic. There was no such thing as cheerleading at that time, and cheering was basically accompanied by drums. But now with Shu Xiaoxiao's shout, the spectators felt more involved, and in the cheers, they seemed to have also participated in the competition.

Under her leadership, the scene was comparable to a school sports meet.

Yun Qinghan looked at the different expressions of the princes next to him, and his mood suddenly became very good. Such an atmosphere really made people more excited, and the voice of his junior brother was also clear and pleasant.

Amid the dense drumbeats, everyone rushed forward. Everyone's horse riding skills were quite good, but their archery skills were a little bit lacking. One person almost missed the target, causing many people to exclaim. What attracted more attention was that Yun Qinghan's arrows hit the bull's eye, which made him look even more handsome. At least under the leadership of Shu Xiaoxiao, many children present shouted in unison, "Come on, senior brother, you will win!"

You have to know that when it comes to singing high notes at such a fast speed, adults are definitely not good enough in front of children.

Children don't need to pay attention to their manners like adults. They just shout at the top of their lungs, and their momentum will definitely make you want to stay away from them.

It also made the competition more intense, and even many young girls joined in. They looked so excited, and their previous quiet and elegant temperament was no longer visible. Of course, the ones who shouted were the younger girls, and the older girls were still very reserved. They just had shining eyes and stared intently. So it is said that food, sex and nature are all part of human nature, and food, sex and men and women have little to do with a person's gender.

With the children working so hard throughout the stadium, the only sound that could be heard was "Come on, senior brother, you will win!" The sound was deafening, making the other participating princes and sons of the royal family look visibly unhappy.

With the help of sound, Yun Qinghan's posture became more and more natural, his performance was stable, and every shot hit the bull's eye. Under such circumstances, there was no need for statistics, and the first place in this competition would definitely be Yun Qinghan.

Yun Qinghan was riding ahead, leaving the others far behind. When the people behind heard the roars from outside the field, their attention inevitably shifted to Yun Qinghan. Seeing his results, coupled with the noises from outside the field, their hearts became a little unsettled.

Some people even wanted to get close to encircle and stop Yun Qinghan from moving forward, while others directly approached and exchanged a few moves. As long as there was no deliberate loss of life in this kind of competition, friendly exchanges were allowed and even encouraged. After all, horse riding and archery were either for hunting or for killing the enemy, and the enemy would not talk to you about any martial ethics.

Therefore, internal fighting is allowed in the competition. This way, the scenes are more beautiful and the actions are real. There is no need for martial arts instructors or directors to design them in advance, just to make them look good.

What is happening in front of you is real, every punch hits the flesh, every move is fatal, what you see is passion, this is what fighting is! Sometimes you can't even see their movements clearly, isn't it even more exciting?

Shu Xiaoxiao now goes to bed early and gets up early. She doesn't have a mobile phone. Although her eyesight has not been tested, she can see everything very clearly. The lowest is 2.0. She can see the competition clearly. The fights are real and vigorous without losing beauty. This is the real deal and what everyone should see. She used to be too easily satisfied.

Although all participants in the horse archery event reached the finish line within the specified time, their archery accuracy varied greatly, which made it easy to rank them, without having to compete in the second or third round.

The horseback archery competition was considered a round, and the awards were handed out by the emperor himself. Yun Qinghan won the first place with a dagger that could cut through iron like mud, and the next prizes were bows and arrows, jade pendants, etc., all of which were symbols of practicality over honor. The prizes received might not be actually used, but it was an honor!

Hunting is a good opportunity for the emperor to understand the abilities and loyalty of his subjects. It is also an activity that helps consolidate ruling power and cultivate leadership qualities. The emperor personally awards rewards, which also helps to motivate and appreciate those subjects who are loyal to the imperial power.

Shu Xiaoxiao saw those ministers beaming with joy after receiving the praise. After this, they might be more loyal and work more vigorously. She couldn't help but sigh: "As expected, no matter what era, every boss has a purpose for team building."

After all the competitions are over, there will be an evening party. Usually this party is held after the hunting is over, symbolizing a good harvest. Everyone will also have a big meal to celebrate, but because of Shu Xiaoxiao's sudden situation yesterday, the dinner was postponed to today.

The dinner was much more lively on the first day of this gathering. It was a celebration of the harvest. The warriors' prey, plus some that were drugged, were a considerable number, even if not all of them were picked up. If we only look at the results and not the process, this was definitely a great harvest.

This dinner was more humane. The food was not already prepared and about to cool down. There was a charcoal basin on each table, so you could cook by yourself or ask the servants for help. There was also a special chef standing nearby to grill the meat, and those present could use it at any time, with a sip of wine and some grilled meat. You could also choose the meat yourself, as it was all marinated and tasted delicious just by grilling it.

The emperor was communicating with his ministers in the front, and the relationship between the monarch and his subjects was harmonious. Shu Xiaoxiao was eating meat with her friends below, with oil dripping from her mouth.

Their main responsibility today was to eat, and the adults were there to maintain interpersonal relationships. The only pity was that they were not allowed to drink. Fortunately, although there was no wine, because they had strained their throats today, no boiled water was prepared for them, only honey water, which was better than nothing.

While others take a bite of meat and a sip of wine, they take a bite of meat and a sip of honey water, and they are also enjoying it.

Shu Xiaoxiao was enjoying her meal when someone reminded her that the emperor had summoned her. Shu Xiaoxiao looked up and saw that all the people who had been chatting animatedly just now were now staring at her.

Shu Xiaoxiao had no choice but to wipe her mouth and go to the front to pay her respects. The main reason was that in order to eat delicious food, she had chosen a seat further back, closer to the chef who was grilling meat, so it was convenient for her to eat. If she spoke, she would probably have to shout loudly, which would definitely be disrespectful in front of the emperor, so she went straight to the front.

She raised her hands, crossed them, palms facing her body, and bowed. Shu Xiaoxiao's etiquette was very standard.
