Everyone turned around, only to see Pan Xu coming over with a group of important family members, everyone got out of the way, many people lowered their heads, even the Cao sisters didn't dare to look up, their grandfather Cao Ping walked over.

At this time, Cao Ping also saw the picture scroll in his granddaughter's hand, and couldn't help but be stunned, this is not .....

He looked back at the prize area, and the jackpot seat was already empty, "Yun'er, what's going on with this painting?" How is it in your hands? ”

Cao Yun handed over the painting to his grandfather, but he didn't know how to explain it, and Cao Yun next to him said bluntly, "Grandfather, this is a gift from Li Tanhua to help Yun Niang." ”

A smile appeared at the corner of Cao Ping's mouth, and he returned the painting to Cao Yun, "This painting is a treasure, but it is hard to find, you have to collect it." ”

"My granddaughter will collect it."

Pan Xu next to him was a little distressed, this painting was one of the two paintings given to him by Zhang Zeduan a few days ago, he just took it out as the jackpot and put it away, but he didn't expect it to be won.

If it was someone else, he might be able to exchange it for something else, but he was won away by Li Yanqing, which made him speechless, he was actually not distressed that the painting was won away by Li Yanqing, but that he felt sorry that Li Yanqing gave the painting to Cao Ping's granddaughter, this favor was really wonderful.

Pan Xu sighed in his heart, put this matter aside for the time being, stepped forward and said with a smile: "There is still an hour before the banquet time, we simply hold a pot throwing competition, I will give five hundred taels of gold, and the winner will get this reward!" ”

There was an exclamation all around, five hundred taels of gold, that's five thousand taels of silver! The Pan family is going to make a big deal.

Cao Ping, who was on the side, said: "I'll also make a bet!" ”

He unsheathed his sword, raised it high, and said, "This is the Seven-Star Sword, one of my three most beloved swords, and whoever wins the first place will belong to him." ”

The young men around were boiling, the seven-star sword was obtained from the palace of the Southern Tang Dynasty when Cao Bin led the army to destroy the Southern Tang Dynasty, it is said that it was cast by a famous craftsman in the Tang Dynasty for ten years, it is Li Jing's beloved collection of swords, such an important sword, Cao Ping actually wanted to take it out as a prize, everyone felt incredible, but they were very excited, and many men who were not ready to participate in the competition also began to be eager to try.

Li Yanqing felt a trace of pressure, Cao Ping once wanted to give this sword to himself in the Lianggong Weapons Shop, but he was politely refused, and now he took it out again, I'm afraid it still has something to do with him.

Cao Ping's noisy dominance made Pan Xu a little unhappy in his heart, but on the surface, he still smiled and said: "Since Brother Cao Xian has this intention, I will be disrespectful, and the sword will be considered the jackpot!" ”

Gao Shen smiled: "The color head is so tempting, the difficulty must be increased!" Three zhang away is enough, it is better to replace the copper kettle. ”

Sanzhang Yuan is the standard of the army, and there is no need to replace it, but now the copper kettle used is an open horn, and the entrance is like a small bowl, which is a little easier, and soon the family Ding moved a four-foot-high copper kettle with a thin neck and round belly, which is no longer open, but straight, and the entrance is only the size of a tea cup, and the difficulty suddenly increases more than three times.

However, there are many masters of throwing pots among the children of the family, so everyone is not afraid, but is gearing up, and the target is aimed at the seven-star sword.

Pan Xu said: "In order to gain time, this competition adopts a knockout system, the first round of two arrows, must be shot in both arrows to carry out the third round, the second round of three arrows, must all be shot in order to carry out the third round, and so on, if there is a tie in the last round, then the extra match will be played until the final winner is determined." ”

In fact, this is not five shots and five hits, and if you want to win the top, you must at least hit all fourteen arrows, and the difficulty is not ordinary.

With Pan Xu's voice, 'Start!' Dozens of children of the family went to line up, Li Yanqing was about to step forward, but he felt someone patting his shoulder heavily behind him, he turned around, only to see Cao Ping standing behind him, nodding to himself, although Cao Ping didn't say anything, but Li Yanqing understood what he meant very well, he nodded gratefully, and walked quickly to the back of the line.

There were two or three hundred people standing around, watching more than 60 young children of the family in the pot throwing competition, including many elders also watched the battle, which invisibly exerted great pressure on the younger students who participated in the competition, and after the first round of shooting, more than half of them were eliminated, leaving only eighteen children of the family to enter the second round.

Cao Xing was in front of Li Yanqing, he looked at the crowd and whispered to Li Yanqing and smiled: "Our little lady of the Cao family cares about you very much!" ”

Li Yanqing followed the direction of his gaze, and saw a group of young men and women standing next to Cao Ping, who should all be the grandchildren of the Cao family, among which there were six little ladies, all looking at him, Li Yanqing smiled: "They care about you!" You are the only representative of the Cao family, where do you care about me? ”

Cao Xuan smiled, "At least one of them cares about you." ”

Li Yanqing saw Cao Yun, she had a trace of concern in her eyes, and when she saw herself looking at her, she lowered her head shyly, Li Yanqing's heart was hot, and she smiled at Cao Xuan again: "With me competing, you should raise your hand and surrender!" ”

"Don't look at your riding and archery skills, but pitching pots and archery are different, there are many talents here, and you may not be able to win the top."

"Then let's give it a try!"

In a moment, it was Cao Xing's turn, the second round required all three arrows to enter the bottle to be eligible for the third round, Cao Xing is also a family of riding archery, his projection level is extremely high, just like a shot, three accurately shot into the mouth of the bottle, causing everyone to applaud.

He glanced at Li Yanqing with a smile, which meant 'It's your turn!' ’

Li Yanqing smiled proudly, and three arrows shot out like flowing water, drawing three beautiful parabolas, almost vertically into the copper kettle, without touching the copper wall at all, and also won a round of applause.

Gao Shen sighed and whispered to Cao Ping: "It's really the back waves of the Yangtze River pushing the front waves, and we didn't have this level back then!" ”

Cao Ping nodded, "This generation can be compared to our ancestors." ”

At this time, Pan Xu slowly walked to their side, squinted and smiled at Cao Ping: "Brother Xian, I'm afraid you won't be able to keep your seven-star sword today." ”

Cao Ping smiled faintly, "If you can take away my sword without missing a single arrow in the fourteen arrows, such a person will definitely be the Great Song Dongliang, give him the sword, I am willing!" ”

"Huh! I'm afraid that the person who finally takes away the sword is not what the virtuous brother thinks. ”

"Not necessarily."

Everyone played dumb riddles, and finally they all looked up and laughed.......

At the end of the second round, more than half of the eighteen people were eliminated, and only seven people were left to break into the third round, Pan Xu's face was not good-looking, two children of the Pan family were eliminated, and two of the seven people in the third round were the children of the Gao family and the Cao family, and the other three were Li Yanqing, Zhao Wuben and Wang Wei.

The third round is to throw four arrows, which is the ultimate of the technical competition, and in the fifth round, it is not a technical competition, but a competition of willpower.

At this time, Cao Sheng missed the last arrow, the copper arrow popped out of the bottle mouth and fell to the ground, Cao Sheng was immediately annoyed, squatted on the ground and pulled his hair fiercely, and then Gao Boyu missed the second arrow, and then he did not throw again, and directly admitted defeat.

Li Yanqing is the fifth to appear, only Gao Pet threw four arrows in front of him, and successfully passed the test, although Gao Pet couldn't ride and shoot, but his pitching pot was very powerful, ranking in the top three among the children of the family.

"Next!"

Li Yanqing took a step forward, and everyone's eyes on the field were focused on him, with dissatisfaction and jealousy in their eyes, but more than that, they were looking forward to Li Yanqing bringing them a wonderful pot throwing competition.

Four copper arrows had already been placed on the small table next to him, Li Yanqing took one arrow, took a deep breath, and calmed himself down, as if an invisible barrier appeared around him, and the surrounding noise and eyes were all separated.

He found the feeling, an arrow was thrown, the copper arrow flashed in the air, and it shot directly into the copper kettle, it was still so accurate and beautiful, but after the previous thirteen arrows were shot, Li Yanqing could no longer keep the feel of the hand, he had to stop for a while, and then look for the feel of the next arrow, but this did not affect his play, the four arrows were accurately into the pot, and he also broke into the final round.

The final is the fourth round, and in the end, only four people remained, Gao Chong, Li Yanqing, Wang Wei and Cao Xing, these people are recognized as pot shooting masters, among which Wang Wei won the pot shooting championship in the forbidden army competition last year, he is Wang Daoqi's nephew, and is currently serving as Yu Hou in the forbidden army golden gun class.

"Please draw lots and arrange the projection order!"

The sequence of projections has affected the performance of the four, so the draw is necessary.

The expressions of the four of them were very serious, and even the cheerful Cao Xing became silent, and the four of them each drew an arrow, but no one made the order public, Li Yanqing looked at his lot, he was the third to appear, and drew a good lot.

Next was a break for a stick of incense, and the three players were all called by their own patriarchs to teach them face-to-face, which was originally just an entertainment game, but with the tense and cruel rounds of elimination, all families invariably linked the family honor with this game.

Cao Xing walked over with a heavy heart, Li Yanqing patted him on the shoulder and smiled: "Take it easy, don't be stressed!" ”

Cao Xing sighed in his heart, and his grandfather's words seemed to still echo in his ears, "Our Cao family hasn't raised their eyebrows for a long time, and I hope you can win this game today." ’

Cao Xuan couldn't help but whispered: "Yanqing, if it is our two finals in the end, can you give me a chance.....

Li Yanqing was slightly stunned and said with a smile: "Are we sure that we will meet in the end?" ”

"I just said what if!"

"Okay!" Li Yanqing smiled happily: "If it is really as you said, in the end we meet, I will let you shoot an arrow." ”

"Thank you!"

Li Yanqing shook his head secretly, Cao Xing's pressure was too great, which was not a good thing.

"Who's the first to play?" The steward asked.

At this time, Gao Pet raised his hand, "I'm the first!" ”
