"Three consecutive arrows? What a handsome archery skill!"
Lai Hu 'er's eyes lit up. He was so excited that he jumped up and clapped.
The difficulty of riding an arrow was already much higher than shooting on foot. However, the youth in front of him could shoot three arrows in a row. Each arrow hit a vital point in the face. There were very few archery skills that could match this.
Lai Hu 'er was the number one general of the Great Sui Dynasty, so how could he not see Yang Zhao's archery skills?
Even someone like Lai Hu 'er couldn't sit still and was shocked, let alone the people in the audience.
After a moment of uproar, there was a thunderous cheer. Everyone couldn't help but stand up and cheer for Yang Zhao's wonderful performance.
"Brother Li, I know that your son-in-law's archery skills are outstanding, but I didn't expect him to be this good. I haven't seen such a person for many years.”
Gao Shilian sighed, his admiration was beyond words.
Xiao Yu also sighed with emotion." The Great Sui has such a genius who is skilled in both literature and martial arts. The heavens really bless the Sui. Brother Li, you really picked up a treasure."”
"The two of you are too serious. This child has some ability, but it's not as exaggerated as you say.”
Li Yuan didn't dare to be too proud and had no choice but to be humble. However, he couldn't stop smiling. That pride was written on his smiling face.
Li Jiancheng couldn't feel happy when he saw his brother-in-law from a poor family steal the limelight and win the applause of the audience.
However, as the eldest son of the Li family, Yang Zhao had brought honor to the Li family, so he had no choice but to express his gratitude. He could only force a smile and unwillingly clap his hands.
Li Shi Min looked at the silver-armored youth on the drill ground. His brows were still deeply furrowed, and he had even forgotten to applaud and cheer.
His mind was filled with the scene of Zhangsun Wugou riding on the same horse as him and appearing intimately.
In his mind, he kept recalling the way Zhangsun Wugou spoke of Yang Zhao. That frown, smile, and every word. Now, the more he thought about it, the more suspicious it was.
"Wugou, you can't be…Impossible, absolutely impossible! He was already married and was born in a poor family. Sister was forced to marry him. How could you…"
Li Shi Min clenched his fists and shivered. He didn't dare to think further.
In the corner of the auditorium.
The unhappiness on Li Xiu Ning's face had disappeared, and a rare smile of relief appeared on her cold and elegant brows.
Listening to the people around her praising Yang Zhao, Li Xiu Ning didn't know why, but she felt inexplicably comfortable.
"Your archery skills didn't make me lose face. You've given me face. From today onwards, I'll give you more face…"
Li Xiu Ning muttered to herself and subconsciously followed the people around her, clapping and cheering.
"Sister Xiu Ning, so you're here to watch Brother Yang's competition. I thought you weren't coming.”
A surprised voice sounded behind her. Before Li Xiu Ning could react, Zhangsun Wugou was already standing in front of her.
"I had something to do at the military camp, so I just came to take a look. I didn't come specially to see him.”
Li Xiu Ning denied it and immediately put down her hand. The smile on her face disappeared and she returned to her usual cold and serious expression.
In the end, she was still too stubborn and didn't want others to see that her attitude towards Yang Zhao had undergone a subtle change.
"If that's the case, then you've come to the right place. You see, the whole place is cheering for your husband. Brother Yang has earned enough face for you.”
Zhangsun Wugou was innocent and not good at observing people's expressions, so he naturally couldn't see through Li Xiuning's thoughts.
However, Li Xiu Ning was very pleased with this sentence. She quietly pursed her lips, and an imperceptible smile flashed across her lips.
"Oh right, why did you and him…"
Li Xiu Ning was just about to ask him about their relationship, but she suddenly remembered that she had an appointment with Yang Zhao not to interfere in private matters, so she could only swallow it back.
She could only forcefully suppress her suspicions, her gaze falling on Yang Zhao on the drill ground.
"Brother Yang's archery skills are good, Bo Dang is sincerely convinced. Only you are worthy of the name of the Great Sui's God of Archery!”
Wang Bodang bowed deeply to Yang Zhao, who had just returned from his horse, in admiration.
"I was just lucky. Brother Wang, don't forget about tonight's wine.”
Yang Zhao only smiled faintly. He didn't care about the title of God of Archery, but he was thinking about Uncle Wang's good wine.
Wang Bodang laughed loudly." Brother Yang, don't worry. I'll have enough good wine tonight. I won't go home until I'm drunk!"”
On the drill ground, hearty laughter echoed.
At this moment, Yang Zhao completely ignored that a few steps away, Chai Shao was staring at him with a complicated gaze.
Surprise, shock, anger, shame…
Various expressions interweaved on Chai Shao's face, causing his expression to slightly change.
"I didn't expect this Humble Class kid to be so skilled in archery and riding that he's far better than me!
How hateful…
When the martial arts competition comes, I will definitely defeat him personally and wash away today's humiliation!”
Chai Shao secretly swore.
In the middle of the platform.
" Three arrows in a row. His archery skills are truly extraordinary. Mother told me that his martial arts skills are extraordinary, but she never mentioned that he also has a divine archery skill…"
The noble girl behind the bead curtain murmured softly and nodded slightly. There was a hint of surprise in her indifferent tone.
"Your Highness, today's archery competition has ended. Tomorrow, the second round of the strategy competition will begin.”
I came to protect my son and report.
"Then who's the winner?" Yang Ruyi asked despite knowing the answer.
"Although this is a group competition, based on his performance, Yang Zhao's archery is naturally the best.”Lai Hu 'er smiled.
"Reward!"
Lai Hu 'er was stunned." The rewards for this combat examination will only be given after the three rounds. We didn't prepare anything today. I'm afraid…"
"This is my personal reward. Take it.”
Yang Ruyi untied a jade pendant from her waist and asked a palace maid to pass it to her son.
Lai Hu 'er could only obey. He raised the jade pendant high and announced loudly,"Princess Ruyi, your highness, has shown great kindness and rewarded the first name of the arrow test, Yang Zhao, with a personal jade pendant!”
The moment he said this, the entire place was in an uproar again.
