Li Rui didn't expect Li Shiming to be so strong. Looking at his flushed face, he couldn't help but hesitate: This was still a child. If she really won against him, wouldn't she be a little uncomfortable? Li Yuan's expression was also ugly.
Just as he was thinking, he suddenly felt two burning gazes shooting over. He turned around and saw Li Xiu Ning looking at him with anticipation. He looked at Li Yuan and saw him nodding at him.
Since both of them wanted him to win, what was there to hesitate about? Thinking of this, Li Rui threw the bow in his hand and said to Li Shiming,"I wonder if your residence has a Three Stone Bow?”
"Yes," Li Shimin replied. But a distance of one hundred and fifty steps, he didn't need a three-picul bow, right?”
"This arrow must be shot with a three-picul bow!”Li Rui said with a smile.
"Alright, I'll do it. Go and get the Three Stone Bow for Brother Po Zhu." Li Shi Min ordered the servants.
In a flash, the Three Stone Strong Bow was brought over. Li Rui reached out and took it. He no longer hid it, carefully looked at the target position, and put the arrow on the bowstring. The bow was opened like a full moon, and the arrow flew out. Immediately after, thunderous cheers sounded from all around. Li Xiu Ning's hands danced as she beat the drum with a deafening sound.
However, there was only one arrow on the target…
Did he miss the target?
Everyone was stunned. Li Yan was so embarrassed that his face turned red. He had previously boasted that Li Rui was a god, but now he actually missed the target. He felt that he was even more embarrassed than Li Rui.
Just as everyone was puzzled, an old voice suddenly sounded.”
The one who cheered was Li Yuan. He clapped his hands and said,"Po Zhu is truly worthy of the title of General Fei. This old man is also amazed by such a divine arrow!”
Seeing that everyone was still confused, Li Yuan ordered the servants to carry the target back and said,"The result will be clear once we see the target.”
In a short while, the servant carried the target back. Everyone went forward to check and couldn't help but exclaim.
Li Shiming walked up with a face full of confusion. At first glance, he didn't see anything wrong, but after a closer look, his face suddenly turned red---it turned out that Li Rui's arrow had pierced through his arrow, and now it was Li Rui's arrow that was left on the target. No wonder Li Rui wanted the Three picul Strong Bow. Only the Three picul Strong Bow could have such power.
Li Yuan walked up to Li Shiming and said with a dark face,""To think that you think you are smart, but you are so muddleheaded today. After the first round of shooting, you should have taken the initiative to admit defeat. I really don't know how you have the face to compete with Po Zhu for three rounds!”
Li Shimin was young and competitive. When he heard this, his eyes were burning with anger. However, since this was said by his father, he could only endure it no matter how dissatisfied he was.
"You're not convinced, are you?" Li Yuan looked at Shi Min's face and asked with a smile.
"I admit defeat in the third round.”Li Shi Min replied loudly," The second round was actually because Brother Po Zhu intentionally gave in. I also know that I lost. But in the first round, both he and I hit the bullseye…"
"Let me tell you why you lost in the first round.”Li Yuan touched his son's forehead and said slowly,""In the first round, before you released the arrow, you aimed for about three breaths of time, while Po Zhu raised his hand and shot, right?”
"Indeed!" Li Shi Min answered softly.
"If the two armies meet and the two of you are enemies, what will be the result of this shot?”Li Yuan smiled and asked Shi Min.
Li Shiming's face turned red, and after a moment of hesitation, he finally admitted that his father was right. He nodded and said in a soft voice,"My arrow hasn't even shot out, but Brother Po Zhu has already taken my life!”
"If that's the case, why don't you apologize to your Brother Po Zhu!”Li Yuan said with a smile.
"Yes, sir!" Li Shi Min respectfully bowed to his father, then walked to Li Rui and bowed deeply,"Brother Po Zhu's archery skills are much better than mine, this little brother has lost wholeheartedly!”
"You're still young. In time, your cultivation will definitely be above mine. Don't be discouraged." Li Rui replied with a smile. Since he had won, he should be humble.
Li Rui enjoyed himself in Li Yuan's residence until the sun was setting in the west before he returned to the grain protection camp. Halfway there, he saw Cui Jianren running over anxiously, shouting as he ran,"Brother Rui, something has happened, quickly return to the camp.”
"What happened?" Li Rui asked.
"They're here." Cui Jianren said with a long face," Huo Shui and the others were beaten up.”
"Who is so bold? You dare to commit murder in the military camp?" Li Rui was very surprised.
"Who else could it be? It's those wolf cubs from the Left Military Guards." Cui Jianren said bitterly.
"F * ck!" Li Rui was annoyed. He didn't ride his horse anymore and directly jumped down and ran towards the military camp. He was terrible at horsemanship. He could not even run as fast as a horse.
Li Rui rushed all the way to the camp of the grain guard army and found that there were four eight-bull crossbows at the entrance of the camp. The javelin-like arrows that were more than one meter long were aimed at the camp gate. These were used to attack the city. He did not expect to use them against his own people.
Walking through the door, he saw more than ten men wearing the armor of the left military guard. They had cold expressions on their faces as they formed a circle and were cursing in an indecent manner.
Li Rui walked in front of him, his eyes almost popping out. Zheng Chong and a dozen silkpants from the grain protection army, who were also his underlings, were squatting on the ground with their hands on their heads, not daring to breathe loudly. However, he didn't see Wu Shi, Lu Huaji, or Wang Ba.
Those armored men wielded horsewhips in their hands. Their eyes were fierce and filled with killing intent. It was obvious that they were not comparable to the silkpants of the grain guards.
