Everyone widened their eyes in disbelief as they watched the crow fall from the sky.
Bang!
The prey landed right in front of Zhangsun Wugou. A drop of crow blood splattered on her beautiful face, like a flaw on a beautiful jade.
"Ah ~~"
The sudden change caught Zhangsun Wugou off guard. He cried out in surprise and subconsciously took half a step back.
Yang Zhao returned the Yellow Birch Bow to the dumbstruck servant. Under everyone's shocked gazes, he walked up to Zhangsun Wugou and picked up the unlucky crow.
The arrow shot through his right eye and pierced through his left eye.
"I used a little too much strength. It seems like I haven't completely mastered it yet…"
The young man muttered to himself as if there was no one around. He seemed to be dissatisfied with his archery skills.
Suddenly, he realized that his surroundings had become very quiet.
Raising his head, he saw a beautiful face that was as beautiful as jade. Her eyelashes fluttered as she looked at him in surprise.
"Please forgive me for offending you.”
Only now did Yang Zhao realize that his arrow had frightened the girl, so he hurriedly cupped his fists and apologized.
"No, it's nothing. Your archery skills are so…so powerful.”
Zhangsun Wugou was a young lady from a prestigious family and had seen many things before. She immediately recovered from her false alarm and smiled magnanimously, praising Yang Zhao's archery skills.
The people of the Great Sui Dynasty were open-minded and martial arts were highly valued. The children of the nobles and dukes had to learn archery and horse martial arts. Even if the noble women could not be as extraordinary as Li Xiuning in archery, they could still pull the bow and shoot arrows.
Zhangsun Wugou knew archery, so he could naturally tell that shooting a living thing flying in the sky was ten times more difficult than shooting a dead object on the screen.
Yang Zhao only smiled faintly and turned to leave.
Suddenly, he saw a trace of blood on Zhangsun Wugou's face, so he took out a handkerchief and handed it to her.
Zhangsun Wugou was stunned for a moment. Seeing Yang Zhao staring at her face, he felt the residual warmth of the blood on his face and took the handkerchief.
The young man didn't have time to talk to a woman he had never met before. He picked up the crow and turned to Li Yuan.
" I didn't expect him to be so well-hidden and have such amazing archery skills. What a surprise…"
Li Shi Min's amazed voice sounded from behind him. The Third Young Master of the Li family stared curiously at the back of the young man in plain clothes, and his eyes were filled with admiration.
"How can a peasant have such archery skills?”
Li Jiancheng's expression was stunned. His brows were deeply furrowed, and his surprised expression was mixed with confusion.
Zhangsun Wugou had already wiped away the blood on his face. He looked down at the handkerchief and saw that it was very clean. There was even the word "Zhao" embroidered on the corner.
"This handkerchief is made from high-grade Shu brocade. He actually has it…"
She muttered to herself and raised her head to return it to Yang Zhao, but the boy had already walked far away, so she could only carefully put it into her arms.
In front of the attic.
"Brother Chai, thank you."
Yang Zhao waved the crow in his hand towards Chai Shao who was frozen in place.
The victor had been decided.
His archery skills were nothing compared to the youth in front of him.
"You, you-"
Chai Shao's voice was hoarse and trembling as he looked at Yang Zhao in shock. That gaze was as if he had seen a ghost.
He knew that he had lost.
Not only had he lost the competition, he had lost the beautiful woman in the pavilion, and he had also lost the glory of being the son of Julu Prefecture Duke.
"Why? He clearly doesn't seem to know archery, right? Could it be that he was pretending just now and was playing with me?”
Chai Shao shook his head dejectedly, unable to understand.
Yang Zhao raised his head and looked at the Jade-faced Rakshasa in the attic.
The woman who was about to become his wife.
At this moment, Li Xiu Ning was also looking at him. Her eyes were filled with surprise and confusion. It was extremely complicated.
Their eyes met.
Li Xiu Ning flung her sleeves and turned around to return to her room.
"How could that cloth-clothed kid know such amazing archery skills? Could it be that he's deliberately hiding his skills? That's too sinister! Ning 'er, don't worry, mother will never let you marry him ~~"
Madam Dou was so anxious that she lost her composure. She followed closely behind her daughter and endlessly comforted her.
Li Xiu Ning bit her lips and said proudly,""I, Li Xiu Ning, can afford to lose. I can't let people say that our Li family is stingy.”
Lady Dou was stunned. After being stunned for a while, she stomped her foot, shook her head, and sighed.
They had originally intended to reject the engagement by setting up this competition, but now that Yang Zhao had won, if they continued to obstruct him, then outsiders would really laugh at the Li family for not keeping their word.
At this point, Madam Dou was helpless and could only swallow this bitter water.
"This junior had a sudden idea and shot this crow instead.”
Yang Zhao raised his prey and presented it to Li Yuan.
Li Yuan was already smiling, stroking his beard and nodding his head, his eyes full of admiration.
"Brother Gao, Brother Xiao, what do you two think?”
He chuckled as he looked at the two surprised guests.
"Although this kid was born in a commoner's family, his archery skills are comparable to Flying General Li Guang. He's a piece of unpolished jade.”
"Brother Gao's words are reasonable. Congratulations, Brother Li, for finding a good son-in-law.”
Gao Shilian and Xiao Yu were both highly respected people, so they naturally wouldn't distort the truth. After witnessing Yang Zhao's extraordinary archery skills, they naturally had to evaluate him truthfully.
Moreover, the two of them could also see that Li Yuan valued Yang Zhao quite a bit. Since that was the case, they had to go with the flow.
"Good!"
Li Yuan stood up and smiled,""Yang Zhao, you are the son-in-law I, Li Yuan, have chosen. I hereby announce that you and my daughter Xiu Ning will choose a date to marry!”
