Chapter 1179
"Grandfather, I'll go tell the Emperor right now, let's forget about this archery, so you don't go up there and embarrass yourself. This matter is my fault!"
As Gao Yang spoke, he made a move to leave.
But he was grabbed by Gao Tianlong.
"Under the gaze of all, how can I go back on my word?"
"Even if it's a pile of dung, I have to eat it forcibly now. Besides, if I give it my all, even if I'm a bit weak, it's reasonable. As long as I beat this old fellow Wang Zhong, that's enough!"
Gao Tianlong said.
Gao Yang said seriously, "A mere Chicken-Mounting General, you can handle him easily, Grandfather!"
As the two were talking.
On the other side, Wang Zhong also moved.
He rode a tall horse, holding a two-stone longbow, his waist straight, his whole body exuding a sharp aura!
Nock the arrow!
Draw the bow!
Even though a two-stone large bow required one hundred and twenty catties of force, Wang Zhong didn't pull it with difficulty.
Aim!
Release!
Whoosh!
The long arrow left the string!
A hundred paces away, the flagpole fell.
As soon as this scene appeared, it immediately caused cheers on the field.
Even Gao Tianlong looked solemn.
Although Wu Zhao had some opinions about Wang Zhong, she had to admit that this arrow showed the true character of an old general!
Seeing this scene, Wang Xiao also clenched his fists, his expression spirited.
Sure enough, a tiger father has no dog son!
This arrow was beautiful!
He came to Gao Yang's side, straightened his waist, and said with arrogance, "Lord Gao, how was my father's arrow? Does it have the true character of a hero?"
These words carried three parts arrogance, six parts pride, and one part nonchalance; he wanted to enjoy the expression on Gao Yang's face.
Gao Yang said indifferently, "Your father owes dung and hasn't eaten it, where is the heroism?"
"You..."
Gao Yang didn't break his defense, but Wang Xiao was about to break his defense upon hearing these words.
He clenched his fists and said bitterly, "Lord Gao, I hope that after the Duke goes on stage later, you can still be so arrogant!"
Gao Yang picked his nose and flicked it directly at Wang Xiao, "Does this affect the fact that the Wang family owes dung and hasn't eaten it?"
Wang Xiao dodged in a hurry, completely breaking his defense; if Gao Yang's status weren't high enough, he would have started spewing profanities and greeting his whole family.
At this time.
On the drill ground, cheers from the soldiers came.
Gao Yang looked up and saw Wang Zhong shoot an arrow, the sharp arrow making a sound of breaking through the air, heading toward the armor on the dummy a hundred paces away!
Whoosh!
The arrow pierced through the leather armor, breaking through three layers!
Even Gao Yang had to admit that this "Chicken-Mounting General" Wang Zhong, who owed dung, really had some skills; this riding and archery ability could be called terrifying.
Lu Wen applauded first.
For a moment, the hundred officials cheered for Wang Zhong one after another.
"Good!"
"Old General Wang is truly a fierce general of our Da Qian, a pillar of the country!"
Wang Zhong rode back, although his face was a bit old, he was in high spirits and extremely confident.
His three arrows: one knocked down the flagpole.
One didn't hit the bullseye precisely, but it wasn't far off.
The most terrifying was the third arrow, which hit the chest of the dummy a hundred paces away, breaking through three layers of armor!
This was his, Wang Zhong's, home field!
This was his, Wang Zhong's, ability!
Wang Zhong returned from the drill ground, first bowed to Wu Zhao, chatted for a while, and then spoke to Gao Tianlong.
"This subordinate Wang Zhong, I ask the Duke for guidance!"
In any case, he had already offended him, so Wang Zhong simply carried it through to the end.
Under the gaze of all.
Gao Tianlong was expressionless, his armor shining under the golden sunlight, as if it were about to burn completely.
He didn't pay attention to Wang Zhong, but went straight down the command platform, mounted a jujube-red warhorse, and headed toward the drill ground!
Wang Zhong's face turned black.
Having asked for trouble, he came to Wang Xiao's side, then took an apple from the latter's arms and began to chew.
He stared at Gao Tianlong's back, his eyes burning, "After these three arrows, even the Duke should be extremely desperate, right?"
Wu Zhao looked on with some unbearable feeling, "Gao Yang, can he do it?"
Out of caution, she ordered people to set up the dummy at eighty paces!
Gao Yang was quite calm; he just stared at Gao Tianlong's back and said, "The Emperor can rest assured, although my grandfather is old, he still has the courage of ten thousand men!"
Wu Zhao looked thoughtful and became completely interested.
She seemed to have guessed a little about Gao Yang's "first gift of winter"; it seemed to be related to Gao Tianlong, and related to... bows!
