"My lord, don't get me wrong." Chu Zhao also whispered, "We have all deceived, why don't we allow others to ride a good horse? How can this be fair?"

Murong Xiao choked for a moment, knowing that she had figured out the identity of the contestant, so he had nothing to say.

Chu Zhao turned around and told Ah Ao: "Go and bring Bai Xue to Captain Zhang."

Although A'ao didn't react as strongly as Murong Xiao, he still felt a bit sad.

The princess was very different from this Zhang Xingzhou, and she didn't know what she liked about him.

Do you think he can fight well?

I can learn it too.

Do you like his strong physique?

I can do it if I practice.

Do you find him masculine?

It’s okay when I grow up.

The young man was thinking wildly and led Bai Xue to Zhang Xingzhou.

snort!

This was obviously a horse he had tamed, but now it was lent to another man by the princess.

"Compete well and don't embarrass the princess." He handed the reins to Zhang Xingzhou and whispered.

Zhang Xingzhou took the reins, said "Thanks, brother", reached out and patted him hard twice on the shoulder.

A'ao was stunned, and a sense of pride and loyalty between men suddenly arose in his heart, and even the little sourness just now disappeared into nothing.

He thought, no matter what, this man is indeed a man.

When Aao went to fetch the horse, Zhang Xingzhou had already selected a heavy bow and a bag of arrows and carried them on his back. After Murong Xiao gave the order, he got on his horse and rode around the field with the general.

Each of them has ten arrows, and they need to hit the target at different distances and speeds while riding their horses. The winner is judged based on distance, speed and number of rings.

Both of them were masters of mounted archery. They could hit the bull's-eye every time they shot. They shot nine arrows in a row without any mistakes and there was no way to tell the winner.

With the last arrow left, everyone's eyes followed the two figures moving as fast as the wind, and everyone's hands were filled with sweat.

"Princess, guess who will win?" Murong Xiao lowered his head and asked Chu Zhao in a low voice, but his eyes did not move away from the two of them for a moment.

"I guess it should be a draw!" Chu Zhao said, "But if I were the referee, I would also award Zhang Xingzhou the win if it was a draw."

Murong Xiao snorted: "You still said that you are not partial to Zhang Xingzhou?"

"My lord, you are overthinking." Chu Zhao said with a smile, "Our general can't even defeat a hungry man who has traveled a long distance, so how can he have the nerve to accept a draw?"

"..." Murong Xiao was about to speak when he saw that the general shot the last arrow one step ahead. The arrow shot through the air and flew towards the farthest target with a "whoosh" sound.

Zhang Xingzhou's arrow shot out immediately, two finger snaps slower than him.

Everyone held their breath at this moment.

Murong Xiao smiled and said: "It seems that the princess made the wrong bet..."

Before the word "already" was uttered, Zhang Xingzhou's arrow was seen spinning rapidly, splitting the arrow in front of him in half from the middle with great force, and then without losing strength, he rushed straight towards the farthest target without missing a beat. Don't lean on it, hit the target.

The arrow that was split in half fell into the dust with a muffled sound.

"Oh my God!" Chu Zhao was so surprised that he lost control and shouted, "Colonel Zhang is mighty! Captain Zhang is awesome!"

The scene was quiet for a few moments, and then the pot exploded with a loud bang.

Everyone on Zhang Xingzhou's side went crazy. They jumped together and shouted after Chu Zhao: "Colonel Zhang is mighty! Captain Zhang is awesome!"

They didn't know what bullshit meant, but since it was said by the princess, it must be a good word and a very high-level compliment.

In short, no matter what, Captain Zhang is awesome!

Zhang Xingzhou reined in the reins, looked at Chu Zhao from the horse, and curled his lips into a shallow smile for the first time.

Chu Zhao gave him a thumbs up and wanted to smile back, but his eyes were uncontrollably misted.

I think back then, Xiao Chi also showed such a move on the school field, which shocked all the soldiers who were dissatisfied with him.

Xiao Chi, Xiao Chi...

Chu raised his hand and pressed it on the left side of his chest, feeling his whole heart trembling slightly.

"Is the princess too happy?" Murong Xiao said sourly from the side.

Chu Zhao suddenly came back to his senses, suppressed the throbbing in his heart, and said calmly: "I just cheered for the victory. No matter who wins, I am still happy."

whispering sound!

Murong Xiao snorted lightly, not believing her nonsense.

But having said that, he was quite happy that Zhang Xingzhou could win, which at least proved that the risk he took was worth it.

The Jingnan Army lost two games in a row, and their morale was greatly reduced. Everyone lowered their heads like a defeated rooster, and completely lost their initial arrogance.

The two generals also had somewhat uneasy expressions on their faces. If they weren't of such high status, they would really want to compete in person.

This group of bandits and rogues are all reckless. It is really difficult to defeat them simply by using force. After some urgent discussion, everyone decided to give them a fight this time.

There is no need to actually play in sand table deduction. Just like playing chess, it is about intelligence and the ability to arrange troops. There are definitely not many reckless men who are good at this.

Sure enough, as soon as they proposed the sand table competition, there were immediate objections from the other side.

"It's meaningless to talk about what Laoshizi does than what he does on paper."

"I don't know how. I get a headache when I see the chessboard."

"Change one, change another..."

Seeing them making noise, the Jingnan Army cheered up again and sneered at them: "Light will make brute force useless, marching and fighting use wisdom. If you don't dare to compete, just admit defeat. It's not shameful." .”

People over there are very angry, but if you are not good at it, you are not good at it, and there is no point in being angry.

At this time, a middle-aged man with an unattractive appearance but an elegant temperament walked out of the crowd: "How about I give it a try!"

As soon as Chu Zhao saw him, he immediately smiled.

The second master and military advisor of Lingyun Village is a bandit, but he has a room full of books and devotes himself to teaching his brothers how to read and write. He believes that knowledge can change his destiny.

Stable.Chu Zhao said in his heart.

Murong Xiao frowned and glanced at her: "Why are you laughing? Who is this man? Do you know him?"

"I don't know." Chu Zhao said, "I just smiled."

Murong Xiao naturally didn't believe it, so he secretly took note of the appearance of the second master, and decided to go back and interrogate him.

The Jingnan Army did not know the details of the second master, and thought that the opponent was just a general among the cripples, so they reluctantly sent one person to fight. However, because they underestimated the enemy, they lost three cities in a row and were killed by the second master in a panic.

Murong Xiao, Zhang Xingzhou, and General Chen Lu all gathered in front of the sand table. They were all shocked as they watched the second master gradually expand the encirclement without revealing anything.

Zhang Xingzhou raised his head and glanced at Chu Zhao casually.

He had never understood why Chu Zhao asked him to recruit people from Lingyun Village before. It turned out that the second master was actually a hidden master.

Princess Jingnan, she really has a pair of wise eyes.

Chu Zhao received Zhang Xingzhou's gaze and smiled knowingly at him.

Zhang Xingzhou also touched the corner of his lips, and the two of them understood each other tacitly.

Murong Xiao seemed to be focusing on the fight on the sand table, but secretly he kept an eye on Chu Zhao. When he saw the two of them smiling at each other, he gritted his teeth in anger.

She dared to flirt like this in front of him and said they didn't know each other.

What about a liar?
