Chapter 657: The Pitiful Li Zheng

While nervous and expectant, people were actually thinking about something.

Who exactly would this bizarre Longyan Delegation send to participate?

Looking at these few people, each one was more bizarre than the last.

The crowd couldn't help but burst into loud laughter again.

Fine.

Let's just treat this as entertainment prepared for them by Prefect Liu!

"Hahahaha!"

"I'm dying of laughter!"

"Who's going up? That woman, or the old man?"

"Hahahaha, I think the blind man is about right!"

"Stop messing around..."

This Longyan Delegation had become the target of ridicule for the entire venue. With just these few people, let alone the Grassland people, they probably couldn't even beat the delegations from those small countries, right? Looking at it from every angle, forget about a Gold Medal; they probably didn't even have a hope for a Bronze Medal!

Following the referee's command.

When people saw the person who stepped out, they laughed even more uproariously.

The person guessed just a moment ago had actually been guessed correctly!

The one who came out was, surprisingly, that blind man!

The entire venue was stunned for a moment, then burst into loud laughter.

It really is him!

My god!

How is this supposed to be played?

You have to know, what kind of event is this Archery? It's an event that requires extremely high standards for one's eyes! A person without eyes, how are you supposed to play?

The whole venue erupted in laughter.

Mizuno Masashige also couldn't help but laugh: "Prefect Liu, are you trying to humiliate us?"

"Exactly! Sending a blind man!"

"What is the meaning of this?"

"Is it that you don't hold us in your eyes?"

"Even if you're admitting defeat, there should at least be an attitude, right?"

At this moment, Liu Zheng also walked over, and upon hearing these words, he chuckled: "A competition is a competition; Gold, Silver, and Bronze Medals examine true strength, there is no such thing as admitting defeat or not."

"Ahhhhh! Prefect Liu, look at me, look at me!"

Seeing Liu Zheng arrive, Li Qingqing was completely excited and jumped up happily.

Liu Zheng smiled and nodded at her.

Others also greeted Liu Zheng one after another. To be fair, before this morning, even Liu Zheng hadn't met these people. When the idea of the Longyun Games first appeared, he had simply handed the task of searching for talent among the common people to Jiang Xuan at the time, and Jiang Xuan naturally passed this matter on to Chen Zeming.

These people had only arrived this morning...

It still took some time to rush over without stopping.

Seeing this lineup, Liu Zheng was also startled, but he quickly calmed down; he believed Chen Zeming wouldn't act recklessly.

"Young Master!"

The blind man, who had always been very calm, was extremely moved when he heard Liu Zheng's voice.

"Perform well!"

Liu Zheng knew this was a veteran who had once followed him through the Western Regions, so he came over to offer some encouragement.

"Yinzhou Army, Zhang Sheng, guarantees to complete the mission!"

The blind man gave a standard military salute, his expression solemn.

The others looked on and sneered one after another.

Putting on an act!

A blind man, still wanting to shoot arrows?

Keep dreaming!

But the rules did not, in fact, say that a blind man could not come.

Therefore.

After the referee panel discussed for a while, they officially announced the start of the competition.

The first Longyun Games, the competition for the first event, undoubtedly attracted the attention of many people. Even Xie Tianyao and these Longyan officials came to the scene one after another.

"A blind man? Hahaha, a blind man!"

Seeing this scene, Xie Fang had been holding back laughter, and turning to Liang Zheng, he said: "Teacher, if we had known it would be like this, why would we have gone to such trouble over the water source, hahahaha... hahahaha!"

His group of attendants also shook their heads and laughed.

This Prefect Liu is definitely going to lose this time!

Over here.

After the gongs and drums filled the air, the competition officially began.

According to the rules formulated by Liu Zheng, because it was the first Longyun Games, there were no preliminary rounds; it was straight to the finals! For each event, each delegation could send one athlete to participate; athletes could participate in multiple events, but only one person per event.

The order of appearance for all athletes was determined by drawing lots.

"The first one, Li Zheng from the Li Dynasty!"

The entire venue erupted in thunderous applause.

The tall and handsome Li Zheng came out, still causing a commotion among many women at the scene.

As soon as he came out, he looked at Liu Zheng and gave a cold snort. This left Liu Zheng feeling somewhat depressed.

Who is this person?

Had he offended him somewhere?

What he did not know was that because of Li Zheng's feelings for Li Xuanya, he naturally harbored immense hostility toward him.

The first person to step out shoots one arrow first, then stands in their own designated spot, waiting for the other contestants to finish a round before continuing, and so on.

In this way, it can be guaranteed that the atmosphere at the venue remains heated and does not leave people waiting idly.

Therefore.

As soon as Li Zheng came out, the whole venue erupted in excitement.

The people on Li Xuanya and Li Chao's side also became nervous. She felt it was quite an honor to be able to shoot the first arrow of the Longyun Games.

Only.

How would this arrow score...

Li Zheng took a deep breath in front of his table, picked up the bow and arrow on the table, and adjusted to the stiffness and strength.

For someone like him, a bow and arrow were not unfamiliar.

After adjusting for a moment, he finally picked up the bow and arrow, nocked the arrow, and pulled it into a full moon.

Li Xuanya clenched her little fists nervously.

Li Zheng held his breath.

It was all done in one go.

Who would have thought that at this very moment.

Suddenly.

A *pfft* sound...

The arrow did not shoot out.

From between Li Zheng's legs, a thunderous sound erupted, accompanied by an indescribable smell.

The entire venue was shocked.

"Ah?"

"This..."

"Pfft..."

"What happened to him?"

"So stinky!"

This Li Zheng had actually soiled his pants in public!

Li Zheng's complexion changed drastically in an instant.

The whole venue burst into laughter.

Li Xuanya was also stunned.

What was going on?

Did he have diarrhea?

With this slip-up, the arrow in Li Zheng's hand fell off; never mind how many rings he scored, it dropped halfway there!

The laughter could no longer be stopped.

No one expected such an outcome. Just a moment ago he was full of confidence, but now...

"I..."

"This..."

Li Zheng's face turned beet red instantly; in such a scene, with such a thing happening, he felt like he wanted to die!

"Liu Zheng, no score!"

He went up full of spirit, and came down having lost all face.

No one expected that the first arrow of the Longyun Games would be completed like this.

"Princess, I..."

Li Zheng felt like he wanted to cry.

"Go quickly, wash up..."

Li Xuanya also felt like crying.

Xie Fang almost laughed out loud.

Hmph!

Who told you Li Chao to try and cozy up to Liu Zheng! And to live right near Liu Zheng's Post House!

Serves you right!

"The second contestant, Juyan delegation..."

The Juyan delegation's contestant performed quite well.

The first arrow scored eight rings, earning applause from the whole venue.

The second contestant was from the Western Regions.

The score was seven rings.

That was also not bad.

The atmosphere at the venue finally returned to normal. The charm of competitive sports was manifested at this moment.

The whole venue cheered and shouted.

Apart from Li Zheng's embarrassment, the others performed quite well.

The atmosphere reached its peak almost immediately after the Wa athlete scored a high nine-ring shot.

Following closely behind, the delegation that everyone was most concerned about, the Qiang People Royal Court, took the stage!

Zhebie let out a cold snort and stepped forward.

The entire arena was instantly startled.

To think that he would personally take the stage?
