Chapter 1066: Recruiting Relatives in a Contest (9)
Yang Huairen was a little surprised, but after being surprised, he still wanted to give Wan Yan Agu a thumbs up, it seems that a generation of heroes really didn't blow it.
Maybe it's a bit unscientific for Yan Agu to be able to bend the bow and shoot the eagle, but judging from the performance just now, his archery skills can also be called one of the best masters in the world.
Xiao Huhu and Qianshan Bird were in a bit of a trance, and Wu Laliga was desperate, and Lu Jinyi couldn't help but applaud Wanyan Agu's fight with one arrow and three eagles, because he knew that it was too difficult to shoot three arrows at the same time and hit three moving targets fifty steps away at the same time, so he admired Wanyan Agu's wonderful performance.
Needless to say, as the only person who hit three target bags, Wanyan Agu won the first game of the mounted archery competition.
When they returned to the stands, Yelu Yanxi, who acted as the master of ceremonies, stood up and announced the result.
This was originally very ordinary, Yang Huairen originally wanted to take a closer look at the current expressions of Xiao Sabi's father and son, but he found that their faces were just a little unconvinced, but the expression of the Goryeo envoy Wang Zizhi was angry.
Wang Zizhi stared at Yelu and Lu Hu, with a fiery look on his face, as if he could burn his hair, while Yelu and Lu Hu pretended to be fine, never making eye contact with him.
Wanyan Agu played here, and he also looked at Yelu and Lu Wei, but his eyes were very subtle, as if he had already known that in today's first competition, he would take the lead first, and it was a little different from the convergence at the beginning.
Yang Huairen thought it was interesting, and suddenly conceived a plot that was likely to be similar to the story that happened to the three of them.
Goryeo's Jirim Gongwang Hee has long wanted to usurp the throne and seize power, and within Goryeo, he may have made sufficient preparations over the years.
However, Ji Lin Gong was still worried that once he usurped the throne and seized power, the neighboring Great Liao and Great Song would intervene.
In order to gain external support from Goryeo and reduce the external pressure after his usurpation, he thought of a way to let his son marry a princess of Liao, so as to gain the support of Liao.
Of course, there are no young princesses in the real sense of the word, and the so-called princesses of the Liao Kingdom are all given by Yelu Hongji exceptionally, but Wang Xi will not dislike it, maybe he also figured out the reason why the Khitan Emperor did this, so he thought of this point that could be used.
Therefore, Wang Zizhi sent an envoy to Liao this time, and they were well prepared in advance, for example, they brought Wang Xi's Goryeo fierce general Qianshan Bird, and one of Wang Zi came to Zhongjing, so they made friends with all kinds of officials in the Liao court, as well as various Khitan nobles regardless of status, and established relations with them.
Goryeo is located in the middle of nowhere, and there are no specialties that can be used, and the only treasure that can be looked down upon by people is the Silla woman.
The Silla woman had a delicate face, a small size, a gentle and pitiful face, and was very popular in the circles of nobles and wealthy people in the Liao Kingdom and the Great Song Dynasty.
Therefore, Wang Zizhi's envoy to the Liao Kingdom brought hundreds of Silla women who were carefully selected from the Goryeo Kingdom, and used them as gifts to make friends with people from all walks of life who could help.
Even the envoys of the Song Dynasty like Yang Huairen, Wang Zizhi gave dozens of Silla women as gifts in order to make friends with him, not to mention people like Yelu and Lu Wei who were famous in the Liao State.
Yang Huairen guessed that Wang Zizhi should know that their status as a Goryeo Jilin Duke was not enough for the Khitan Emperor to give them the title of the princess of Liao, so he gave gifts everywhere, striving to help them speak well to the Goryeo people at the super meeting when Yelu Hongji met with envoys from various countries.
Later, because there were too many people who asked Yelu Hongji for marriage, Wang Zizhi thought that no matter what kind of competition was conducted, at least these Khitan nobles and Liao officials would be referees, and Yelu and Lu Wei had a lot of right to speak, so he bought Yelu and Lu Hu, hoping that he could help when recruiting relatives in the competition.
Although the method of recruiting relatives in the competition was decided by Yelu Hongji, in terms of operation, it still needs the forbidden army of the Liao State to operate it specifically, and Yelu and Lu Wei, as the generalissimo of the soldiers and horses of the Liao State, naturally have the right to speak in the army.
As long as he can help secretly, Wang Zizhi is still full of confidence in their first warrior in Goryeo, Qianshan Bird.
But when it really came time to use Yelu and Lu Hu, Wang Zizhi didn't expect that Yelu and Lu Hu, the old fritters, would suddenly turn back, and they were busy helping, but they did help another opponent who participated in the competition to recruit relatives.
So there were all kinds of interesting expressions when the samurai returned to the stands.
Looking at it this way, Yang Huairen suddenly came to a conclusion that the seemingly fair riding and archery competition just now should be greasy, but where is the specific greasy, he doesn't know much about archery, and he can't say it well for a while.
Yelu Hongji was saying some polite words of praise for Yan Agu's beating, and Lu Jinyi whispered apologetically behind him, "Brother is really sorry, in this first riding and archery competition, my brother trusted my younger brother to let me play, but I didn't expect that my younger brother didn't win, which is really a shame for my brother." ”
Yang Huairen turned his head slightly and comforted him with a smile, "You don't have to be sorry, what's this?" It's okay, it's okay, you did your best, it doesn't matter if you can't win, just now Yelu Yanxi said that the first competition is a horse shooting, that is to say, this competition will determine the winner of the competition, isn't there a second and third game?
As long as we can win one of them, we'll win. So, if you lose the first game, you don't have to blame yourself if you don't care.
But I'm a little puzzled and want to ask you, did you notice anything wrong with the riding and archery competition just now, such as the venue, the horses, or the Khitan soldiers who threw target bags? ”
Lu Jinyi saw that Yang Huairen didn't blame him, his heart was a little wider, and he didn't seem to think anything strange when he recalled some of the pictures when he participated in the riding and archery competition just now.
But after thinking about it, Lu Jinyi's eyes suddenly widened, and he said a little uncertainly, "Could it be ...... Is this the reason? ”
Brother Tianba, who had been quiet for a long time, couldn't help but ask, "Brother Lu Jinyi, what did you say, what is the reason?" ”
Lu Jinyi became a little resentful, "Brother Ren didn't mention it, I really didn't find out, now that I think about it, it seems that Wanyan Aguda can become the only person who can hit the target bag with all three arrows, and there is indeed something greasy in it." ”
"What do you mean by that?" Yang Huairen motioned to Brother Tianba not to be in a hurry with his eyes, and asked Lu Jinyi in a low voice.
Lu Jinyi gritted his teeth and scolded in a low voice, "The second round of the extra round, I think about it now, and I feel that there is fraud in it!" ”
