Chapter 253: Competition

At least he can't embarrass himself too much, he can't be too embarrassed, he can't hunt prey along the way, and the eldest prince is thinking about this problem.

Now that he has eyebrows, although it is impossible to excel in this hunt, but at least he can pass the level, and now he is no longer pursuing brilliance, it would be good to be able to pass the test.

After the second prince confirmed again and again, he still didn't find any other prey for the eldest prince, and couldn't help but ask in a low voice and puzzled: "Your Highness, did you hunt a pheasant?" ”

Tang Ning smiled and nodded, "That's true!" ”

The second prince was a little surprised and a little puzzled: "This, how is this possible?" Although his archery skills can't be compared to yours, he is not bad, he is stronger than me, how can he only hunt a pheasant? ”

Tang Ning smiled: "This person has a miss, the horse has a stumble, everything is possible!" ”

Even when the second prince asked, Tang Ning didn't say that he did it, this kind of thing can't come out of his mouth, even if everyone knows in their hearts that he did it, he can't admit it.

People have misses, horses have stumbled, if the prince occasionally misses the shot, it is naturally normal, but this way through the mountains and forests is luck and can meet a lot of prey, it is impossible to miss so many times, right?

Therefore, the second prince naturally does not believe that people have stumbles and horses stumble, and there must be other reasons for this.

But the second prince didn't have time to continue to explore the reason, because the emperor walked out of the dense forest with his guards. All the generals knelt down in unison to greet them.

The guards brought a lot of prey, and the harvest was great, the emperor was in a good mood, and after glancing around, he smiled and said: "It seems that the harvest is not small, good, very good, let's be even!" ”

After the generals got up, they congratulated the emperor one after another, and the emperor smiled with a smile: "Which of you has gained the most?" Show it to me with confidence! ”

In fact, who has the greatest harvest, the generals have long known in their hearts, Han Dudu said with a smile: "In the opinion of the ministers, in addition to Your Majesty, this hunt should be the most abundant for General Tang Ningtang!" ”

Hearing this, the emperor smiled with some surprise: "Oh? Downing? Downing, put your prey out and take a look! ”

Before Tang Ning could move, the generals behind him were very excited, and they all carried their prey one by one.

Tang Ning motioned to his soldiers to show the prey to the emperor, and said humbly: "The old generals are leading the way forward, so there is a chance for the ministers to shine, in fact, all the generals are not old, but the ministers are participating in the hunt for the first time, so they are extra hardworking, plus lucky, so there are a lot of gains." ”

The emperor looked at it with a smile on his face, and said with a smile: "Yes, very good, you performed very well in this hunt, it is rare that you are still so modest, I said that there will be a heavy reward, well, I will reward you with a python robe, two BMWs, and a pair of bows!" ”

Tang Ning said respectfully: "Thank you for the emperor's grace!" ”

The emperor smiled and said, "Who else has a big harvest?" Put it out and see! ”

Two more generals were promoted, and the emperor rewarded the treasure sword, and the atmosphere suddenly became warm.

At this time, the emperor looked around and smiled and asked, "What about Rui'er and Jing'er?" What are you doing? ”

The emperor asked about the eldest prince and the second prince, and the atmosphere at the scene suddenly froze, because at this time, almost everyone knew that the eldest prince had only harvested one pheasant in this hunt.

Whatever the reason, only one pheasant was hunted, how can this be said in the past?

The eldest prince, who had been quiet all the time, smiled bitterly when he heard this: "Don't hide it from my father, my son only hunted one pheasant." ”

The scene was completely quiet, and the emperor raised his eyebrows in surprise when he heard this: "Only one pheasant was hunted?" ”

The eldest prince said respectfully: "Yes, Erchen has long heard that General Tang Ningtang's archery skills are amazing, and he met General Tang in the mountains, so he had the idea of trying to compete with General Tang." ”

"Erchen was fortunate to see General Tang's superb archery skills, but he lost so badly that he only managed to hunt a pheasant! However, Erchen realized the gap and would definitely follow General Tang's example in the future and practice cavalry archery hard. ”

This is the argument that the eldest prince came up with in a hurry, and Tang Ning snatched his prey and changed it to him to compete with Tang Ning.

Of course, the reason why he said this was not to exonerate Tang Ning, but for himself. His archery skills are not as good as Downing's, and although it is disgraceful to lose in the competition, there is nothing to be ashamed of.

In this way, at least it can show his courage and integrity, and if he says that his prey has been snatched by Tang Ning, it will be very humiliating.

Although he said this to clear Tang Ning's name, he had no choice but to beg himself not to be too embarrassed to pass the test first, and as for Tang Ning's account, he would calculate it later.

In fact, his remarks seem to sound reasonable at first glance, but in fact, there are many loopholes.

He and Tang Ning have such a deep grudge, how can the two meet to compete? Under normal circumstances, only people who are particularly familiar with each other will compete.

Second, it's no secret that Tang Ning's archery skills are very high, how could the eldest prince not know? Since the eldest prince boasted of Haikou in front of the emperor, how could he compete with Tang Ning?

Third, even if it is a competition in a hunt, it is a competition to see who can catch more prey, rather than walking together to see who can shoot the prey.

Everyone present is fine, how can they not understand? Thinking of Tang Ning's humiliation by the eldest prince at the beginning, the reason seems to be very clear.

Tang Ning, this kid is really young and vigorous, he doesn't suffer any losses, and after being humiliated by the eldest prince, he took revenge in an instant.

Not only did the generals understand, but the second prince finally understood why his good big brother only hunted pheasants all the time.

It turned out that Tang Ning followed him and snatched all the prey! The second prince was so excited that he couldn't wait to jump up and kiss Tang Ning, and he did it beautifully!

After hearing this, the emperor naturally understood, and turned his head to look at Tang Ning, Tang Ning lowered his head and said respectfully: "The minister didn't know that His Royal Highness was going to compete with the minister, and the minister did snatch a few prey in front of His Highness, but the minister didn't know it before, and the minister also found out that His Royal Highness was also opening his bow after he was shot." It was the minister who abruptly assaulted His Highness. ”

Speaking of which, Tang Ning is indeed a little nonsense, this is relying on archery to bully people. However, seeing Tang Ning's low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, and thinking of Tang Ning kneeling down to the boss before, the emperor's heart softened.

The emperor smiled and said: "What's this, Tang Ning's archery is really good, Rui'er, you can have the heart Tang Ning's competition is not bad, there is a gap to have the motivation to progress." Your brothers' riding and archery is not a little bit compared to Tang Ning, our Great Zhou Dynasty established the country with martial arts, and the iron cavalry shocked the world, as a prince, this riding and archery must not be left behind, you must practice diligently! “
