Volume 10 Chapter 326

Jiang Fan did his duty, left the table and came out, stepped in and saluted: "The final chapter is willing to be updated!"

Tang Yin nodded with satisfaction, then looked at Li Dan and asked with a smile: "Sir, I wonder if General Lin is also willing to compete?"

People had asked him about it, and Li Dan could no longer shirk it. He looked at Lin Ning, who was next to him. The latter nodded slightly at him, indicating that he could give Jiang Fan a try.

After receiving Lin Ning's confirmation, Li Dan felt relieved, raised his hands to Tang Yin and said, "It is better to obey orders than to be respectful. General Lin will make a fool of himself in front of your highnesses!"

Following his words, Lin Ning stood up, walked around the table, came to the center of the hall, and stood next to Jiang Fan. Lin Ning and Jiang Fan were about the same age, both looked to be in their early thirties, but their temperaments were completely different.

Lin Ning is tall and burly, with a Western face, big ring eyes, and a lion's mouth underneath. He looks mighty and majestic, giving people a feeling of power without anger.

Jiang Fan, on the other hand, is of medium build, neither tall nor short, neither fat nor thin, with a face as white as jade and delicate features. He looks less like a military general and more like a scholar, but as long as you get close to him, you will always feel a sense of warmth. There is a cold air that seems to be there but not there.

The two of them can be regarded as the top warriors of Feng and Zhen. Now they have to test their archery skills in front of a large audience. For everyone present, including the kings of various countries, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to broaden their horizons.

People put down their wine glasses one after another, and the smiles on their faces slowly faded away. Everyone had serious expressions, widened their eyes, and stared at the two generals Jiang Fan and Lin Ning in the center of the hall.

Lin Ning raised his hands to the kings and asked, "I wonder how your highnesses would like General Jiang and the last general to compete?"

Yue Ze, Li Xin, and Ling Shuang all focused on Tang Yin. The latter smiled, picked up an empty plate on the table, and threw it into the air. It felt okay, and then he said: "You two were standing in the hall shooting arrows, and someone else was throwing the plate outside the hall. Who shot it?" Accurate, whoever wins."

How difficult is this? Lin Ning and Jiang Fan both responded: "General, I will obey!"

Tang Yin casually called a guard and whispered a few words. The guard picked up a few empty plates and ran out quickly.

When he ran outside the main hall door, he stood still, looked back at Tang Yin, and asked him if he could stay here. Tang Yin shook his head and waved to the guard.

Seeing this, the guard had to retreat until he reached the steps. He still didn't hear the king calling him to stop him. He was startled and secretly looked behind him. He had already reached the steps. If he stepped back further, he would have to retreat to the bottom of the steps. .

Seeing that the guard was standing still, Tang Yin asked dissatisfiedly: "Why is he not moving?"

Although his voice was low, there was silence in the hall at this time, and his voice could still be heard outside the hall. "Report...report to the king, the place where the villain is standing is already at the limit. If you retreat further, you will have to retreat down the steps."

Tang Yin smiled leisurely and said: "This king asked you to retreat, you just retreat, where is all this nonsense?!"

The guard had no choice but to follow the steps and walk all the way to the square outside the hall. This place is at least one hundred and fifty steps away from the main hall, especially now that it is dark. It is so difficult to shoot an arrow in the main hall and hit a small plate thrown up from the square. Everyone was speechless.

If Tang Yin's arrangement was deliberately difficult, it doesn't make sense at all. After all, Feng Jiang Fan was also participating in the competition. But if Tang Yin really wanted to test their archery skills, wouldn't it be too difficult?

Lin Ning had never done such a novel competition before. He squinted at Jiang Fan beside him. He was calm, with his eyes lowered and motionless, as if the things around him had nothing to do with him. He smiled slightly and asked, "General Jiang, please go first!"

Hearing this, Jiang Fan finally raised his gaze and said calmly: "General Lin is the master, and I am the guest. How can it be that the guest takes precedence over the guest?"

After hearing Jiang Fan's words of humility, Lin Ning was no longer polite. He waved to his entourage: "Bring me the bow!"

Following his words, a Zhenguo guard came to Lin Ning holding a bow and arrow. Lin Ning's bows and arrows are all made of steel, especially the bow, which is said to be a treasure that has been refined for eighty years and is called Xue Lian Zhu.

(Although iron is hard, there are too many impurities in it, making it brittle and easy to break. Burning the iron red, hammering it to remove the impurities, and then cooling it down is a refining process. The idiom "a hundred refinings make steel" comes from this. . But it is too difficult to complete one hundred refinements. In ancient times, even fifty refinements would take more than ten years, and more than ten refinements can be called refined steel.)

Speaking of Lin Ning, he held the bow in his hand. As the spiritual mist emitted from his palm merged with Xue Lian Zhu, the shape of the steel bow also changed. In the blink of an eye, it turned into a pure white spiritual bow.

He casually pulled out a steel arrow, waved his hand to spiritualize it, then twisted the bow and loaded the arrow, took a deep breath, and said seriously: "Your Highness the Wind King, the general is ready!"

Tang Yin smiled and nodded to Ah San and Ah Si behind him. Ah San stood up and shouted loudly outside the hall: "Throw——"

The guard standing in the square used all his strength to throw the copper plate in his hand into the air.

It was such a long distance and the sky was so dark that for most people in the hall, they couldn't even see clearly, let alone shooting arrows at the plate.

Just as everyone craned their necks to look out, wondering if the guard had thrown out the plate, Lin Ning narrowed his eyes sharply, stretched his arms hard, and instantly released the fingers that were tightly holding the arrow, and heard something in his ears. With a whooshing sound, the spiritual arrow left the string and flew out of the hall like a bolt of lightning.

The arrow was shot too fast, so fast that it was beyond the limit of what the naked eye could see. People were still in a daze, and Jiang Fan had grasped the purple gold bow in his hand without knowing when. At the moment when Lin Ning shot the spiritual arrow, he also twisted the bow and put the arrow on it, and shot the purple gold arrow after Lin Ning.

The spiritual arrow shot by Lin Ning seemed to have eyes. In the night, it nailed the small copper plate right on the spot. With a crisp sound, the spiritual arrow penetrated the copper plate and hung it on the arrow body, and then it continued to move forward, and with a loud click, it nailed to the stone pillar of the square.

This was not the most amazing thing. Lin Ning's spiritual arrow was just nailed to the stone pillar with a copper plate, and Jiang Fan's purple-gold arrow fell. This arrow actually hit the tail of Lin Ning's spiritual arrow. The force was so strong that the spiritual arrow was forced through the stone pillar. With a clang, it fell to the ground from the other side of the stone pillar, and Jiang Fan's purple-gold arrow took its place, with a copper plate hanging on the arrow body and nailed on the stone pillar.

When the people below ran back to the hall and reported the situation to everyone, the princes, generals, and ministers present were all shocked.

It was not easy for Lin Ning to hit the plate, and Jiang Fan's chasing arrow could actually hit the small point at the tail of the arrow. His archery skills had undoubtedly reached a superb level.

Everyone in the hall was stunned for a long time before they came to their senses, and then burst into thunderous applause. Even Li Dan couldn't help but stand up and sighed sincerely: "General Jiang is really a good archer!"

The expression on Jiang Fan's face did not change. He was still neither happy nor angry, neither cold nor hot. He bowed slightly and said, "You are too kind, young master."

At this time, Lin Ning's face was a little unnatural. Jiang Fan didn't wait for the second plate, but wanted to shoot his own arrow. He didn't shoot first, but chased his arrow. How could he come to compete with me in archery? He came to oppose me! Lin Ning, who was arrogant, had been provoked by Jiang Fan, and the spirit of not admitting defeat also came up. He gritted his teeth secretly, turned back and said to Tang Yin seriously: "Your Highness, King Feng, I want to compete with General Jiang again! But how about throwing three plates this time?"

Tang Yin smiled and said: "Since General Lin asked so, let's compete again!"

Hearing this, everyone present became excited. Just now, shooting only one plate was so exciting. Now they have to shoot three plates at the same time. I don't know what incredible archery skills Jiang Fan and Lin Ning will use!

Lin Ning pulled out three steel arrows from the quiver, clamped them between his fingers, then turned his head to look at Jiang Fan. Seeing that the latter's purple gold bow only had one arrow, he couldn't help asking: "What? General Jiang wants to shoot through three plates with one arrow?"

Jiang Fan just glanced at him indifferently, without saying anything in response, and remained silent. Jiang Fan remained silent and Lin Ning was unsure. Did Jiang Fan really intend to shoot through three plates with one arrow? To be honest, if that was the case, he had never seen such a mysterious archery technique.

Just when Lin Ning was feeling anxious, Tang Yin smiled and asked, "General Lin, are you ready?"

"Your Highness, I am ready!"

Tang Yin winked at Ah San. The latter quickly ran to the door of the hall and shouted loudly to the outside, "Three plates, throw together!"

Following Ah San's high-pitched shout, the guards on the square immediately picked up the three copper plates and threw them into the air.

When the plates flew to the same height as the hall, Lin Ning clearly felt a terrifying spiritual pressure from Jiang Fan beside him. Fearing that Jiang Fan would take the lead, Lin Ning took the lead in shooting arrows. Snap, the bowstring bounced, and three spiritual arrows flew out together.

But at the same time, Jiang Fan also shot an arrow, but his target was not the three plates thrown outside the hall, but Li Dan who was sitting aside and watching intently.

The ministers and generals of the Zhenguo State present could never have dreamed that Jiang Fan would suddenly attack the crown prince Li Dan during the archery competition with Lin Ning.

The distance between the two sides was too close, and the speed of Jiang Fan's arrow was too fast. Almost as soon as the bowstring sounded, the purple-gold arrow nailed Li Dan's chest.

Puff! The purple-gold arrow directly penetrated Li Dan's body. There was still a look of confusion on his face, but his body was overturned by the momentum of the arrow.

"Ah! Young Master——" Li Dan's followers were the first to react, swarming up and surrounding Li Dan who was shot in the chest.
