Chapter 12, good bow and good at shooting

Zu Zhao carefully observed this rough and arrogant man for a while. Ordinary people never dare to offend the rangers riding horses and swords. What's more, the other party is just alone, but he has such courage, which is by no means a thing in the pool. I immediately had a little appreciation in my heart.

The man did not pay attention to Zhang Yuan. He snorted coldly for a while, and his hand holding the dagger still did not let go.

Zu Zhao jumped off his horse and came to the other party. He saluted politely and asked, "Do you dare to ask the name of the strong man?"

The man glanced at Zu Zhao. Although his face was not good-looking, he was a little more friendly than when he looked at Zhang Yuan and Zhang Yu. He did not return the gift and said unwarmly, "But a village man is not worth mentioning."

Zu Zhao smiled and didn't care too much. He said bluntly, "Well, I won't ask much. In the lower north Guoting Zuzhao, if he has leisure or happens to pass by the north Guoting, he can come to sit down and have a rest and drink a cup of light tea.

The man looked at Zu Zhao with great interest and said lightly, "It's really rare to have such a temperament at a young age. I guess the arrows on this tree trunk are from you, right?

Zu Zhao didn't know what the other party meant. After a little hesitation, he nod and said, "The two arrows above are shot from below, and the arrow below is from the hand of this brother." He took a look at Zhang Yuan, who was still on horseback.

The man nodded slightly and said logically, "This is not surprising. The actual winner of this test should be you.

In a word, the children of the ancestors and rangers around showed a stunned expression. In twos and threes, although most of the children of the ancestral family felt happy, it was inevitable to question that this hunter of unknown origin was talking nonsense. Previously, the Zhang brothers spoke rudely to him, which may be belittling the Zhang brothers out of revenge.

Zhang Yu was extremely excited and pointed a horse whip at the man and shouted, "Thieves, dare to talk nonsense here and die!"

Even Zhang Yuan's face could not hang, and there was a sense of anger in his heart that could not hide the three traces on his face. The hatred reflected in his eyes gradually rose into a murderous intention, and he couldn't wait to rush his horse to the arrogant and ignorant wild man.

Zu Zhao was aware of the change in the atmosphere in the air. He maintained a modest attitude and explained to the man, "I'm afraid there is some misunderstanding. This time, the comparison with Brother Wenyi is to shoot the wine gourd, not the dead tree. I'm ashamed that I only hit one arrow in the next three arrows, and the result is self-evident.

The man said disdainfully, "I looked carefully under the east tree in this game between the little brother and that man. I have long guessed how you can win or lose the village man. Don't blame the village husband for being nosy, but the art of archery is a major hobby in a person's life, so I stopped to watch. No matter how accurate, strong or technical, the little brother is indisputably superior.

Zu Zhao raised his eyebrows with a curious and puzzled expression, and said strangely, "It's an exaggeration for the strong man to make such a conclusion. It is obvious to all learn the skills with Brother Wenyi. Even if the strong man likes the art of archery, he can't be too big.

The man smiled deeply and said nothing more. He turned around and strode to the trunk and reached out his hand to pull out the arrow nailed into the trunk. The first two arrows were pulled out with a little force, but only the third arrow was easily removed. Three traces were left on the trunk, and the depth was clear at a glance. He glanced at Zhang Yuan sarcastically and still didn't say anything.

Zhang Yuan's face was gloomy, gritted his teeth, and endured without an attack. Instead, Zhang Pre couldn't calm down at all and grinned, "The wine-shooting gourd is the wine-shooting gourd. Do you dare to mess around?"

Zuzu Zhao did not attach too much importance to the victory or defeat of this competition, but he was very interested in the unique explanation of the man. He maintained etiquette and demeanor and said euphemistically, "As for the matter, since it has been agreed in advance, it is a loss anyway."

The man laughed and said, "If you are just a young man who has nothing to do and fool around casually, then I will be a village man. Otherwise, what kind of style would a seven-foot man become if he didn't want to serve the country and only want to be greedy for a while?

Zhang Yuan couldn't stand it and retorted unconvincedly: "It's really arrogant. Are you when we are shooting? The wine gourd hangs on the treetops and moves with the wind, just like people walking and stopping, which is elusive. I don't even know this, and I dare to claim to be a good archer. It's really ridiculous to pretend to be a ghost.

The man glanced coldly at Zhang Yuan and was not in a hurry to speak. Instead, he bent down and picked up a hemp rope from the ground. It was the rope used to tie the wine gourd before, and there was a piece of gourd fragment at one end of the rope. He raised the rope and showed it from left to right without any expression on his face. Everyone stared at the rope puzzledly and couldn't guess what the other party was going to show for a while.

"Haven't you see that there are two marks on this rope?" The man said in a humming voice.

After this prompt, everyone looked carefully and saw two extremely slight scratches on the rope. The trace is very new and should have been caused not long ago. Seeing this, the astute person has vaguely guessed the general idea. Zu Zhao, who has always maintained a modest attitude on the side, gradually showed a little joy. He really thought a little about this competition.

"What...does this mean?" Zhang Yu still didn't see the way.

"Hmm, this little brother's first two arrows are stringing a hundred steps away, not at the wine gourd, but at the rope on the wine gourd. These two scratches are arrow marks. In contrast, the other person took nearly 60 or 70 steps to shoot the arrow. Even if he hit the gourd, he was reluctant. How can it be? This so-called game has been at different standards from the beginning, and the outcome has long been known. The man said bluntly.

Zhang Yuan's face was extremely gloomy, and his hand holding the reins trembled faintly because of excessive force.

Although Zhang Yu and other rangers were angry, they were completely out of the way to deal with it for a while. If it were ordinary, they would certainly not talk too much nonsense and would fight directly. But at this time, there are many ancestral children present, and since it is a competition, they should more or less talk about some truth, otherwise it is morally unreasonable.

Zu Zhao really admires this "unknown village man". It seems that the other party is really a person who is good at bow shooting. As mentioned, from the beginning, he aimed at the rope of the wine gourd. He was not very sure about shooting the wine gourd. He simply tried to shoot a bigger arrow and moved back to his face in one fell swoop. Even if you don't succeed, you can admit defeat sincerely. On the one hand, you can show your personal character, and on the other hand, you can take the opportunity to praise Zhang Yuan.

A ranger like Zhang Yuan is nothing more than a good face, just take the right medicine.

Earlier, he did not know that the first two arrows were shot at the edge of the rope sleeve. Maybe it was caused by the arrow wind, or maybe it was almost shot, and there were more or less some luck. But in the final analysis, it is good that it can still reflect a certain technical content. From the knowledge of Zhang Yuan and Zhang Yu, I'm afraid it is difficult to see the mystery. Because of this, he chose to smash the wine gourd directly with a heavy bow to show his hand to ensure a face.

"It's nothing more than wiping an edge. What's the difficulty? Besides, why do you insist that the two arrows that broke the rope came from him? Zhang Yu said rudely.

"Hance your mouth and don't be ashamed." As soon as Zhang Yu's voice fell, Zhang Yuan scolded loudly.

Although he has a good face, he will never ignore morality because he wants face. Even a young teenager like Zu Zhao can look down on the outcome. If he cares, won't he lose his mind and demeanor? As early as in the process of the comparison, he had noticed that Zu Zhao was extraordinary, and what the "unknown village man" said in front of him was just to confirm it. It was out of this consideration that he simply put down his shelf, jumped off the horse, and walked to Zu Zhao to bend over and hold his fist.

"What this strong man said is that although Zhang is competitive, he does not distinguish between right and wrong. As the eldest son said before, losing the technique is small, and then brave. Zhang threw himself to the ground, and there was no word of unconvinced.

"Brother Wenyi's words are heavy. Admittedly, this time, the competition between brother and brother is more important than friendship, and victory or defeat is no longer important. Zu Zhao replied modestly.

"Haha, the eldest son is a bold man, and Zhang Wenyi is willing to make this friend!" Zhang Yuan pretended to say loudly, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He was really grateful to the eldest son of the ancestral family for being humble and polite, and let everyone go down the steps. He had to be convinced. It seemed that it was not a boast or a fluke that this son could defeat Hu Ma by being outnumbered.

Zhang foresaw it, quickly jumped off the horse and invited other rangers to disarge together. His face was a little embarrassed, scratching his head and laughing.

"Big son, just take it as nonsense and a stinky fart. Don't worry about it."

"Where is it, my brother is outspoken, and he is really a man of temperament." Zu Zhao replied politely.

After saying that, he turned to the "unknown village man". Since he was surprised by this earlier, and now he has completely improved his situation because of the other party's remarks, of course, he should get together more.

"The strong man is deeply hidden, and I sincerely ask the strong man's name again." As he spoke, he bowed and saluted.

"I dare not be, the little brother is so affectionate. Today, I have the right to have a pastime. Let's say goodbye. In the face of Zu Zhao's politeness, the man was not polite at all and waved his hand as if he didn't want to see him. The voice has not yet settled, and people have taken a step.

Everyone's eyes are wide-eyed, angry, and some people are surprised. No one can see who this "unknown village man" is. Whether it is facing the threat of Zhang Yuan and Zhang Yu Ranger, or the kindness of Zu Zhaohao, they can turn a blind eye to it. The crowd automatically dodged a road and the villager walked away.

Zu Zhao looked at the other party's back and was in a lot of mood. Now it was the eve of chaos. Most of the famous heroes in history are still unknown small characters. Just like this mysterious village man.
