Of course, Li Yanqing knew his weight. If he participated in the mid-shot shooting, others would probably lose their share. If he knew it himself, he should consciously participate in the long-shot shooting competition. However, since the "Han Xizai Night Banquet Picture" was something Cao Yun had been looking forward to for a long time, Li Yanqing could only use his shamelessness to get into this loophole.

In fact, even if Cao Yun doesn't like this painting, because it is Zhang Zeduan's copy, Li Yanqing will win it at all costs.

Li Yanqing slowly walked back to the mid-shot site. There were the most people here, enough for hundreds of people to line up, and almost half of them were men and women. Many of them were couples who had already been married, and they also took this opportunity to come to observe each other and secretly communicate with each other.

There are no rules for close shots. You can play with random shots. You can continue to queue up and then shoot if you don’t hit the shot. However, in order to shorten the queue time, there are still some rules, that is, you can only give one arrow at a time, and you can continue to shoot if you hit the shot. If you don’t hit the shot, you have to leave and continue to queue.

In the team, Cao Yun looked eagerly at the scroll of paintings placed at the highest point. She liked paintings and had a special liking for high-quality words. Today's first prize was her favorite "Han Xizai Night Banquet Picture", which was a copy of Hanlin from the Picture Academy. Its level is no less than that of the original one, and it is a rare treasure that can be found but hard to find.

The Pan family took it out as the first prize, which also made a vague sense of showing off. You must know that if you want to win this painting, you must continuously hit five shots, a distance of 100 feet apart, that is, four meters and five meters. It is so difficult to throw it into a thin-necked copper bottle with a bowl-sized mouth. In particular, some projection experts are included in the list of banned shots for shooting. The probability of this painting being lost is extremely small.

Cao Yun looked at the painting and sighed softly, "Ayun, I'm afraid I won't get this painting. I only won once when I was lucky. How could I get it today?"

"Kosakuro scored four arrows last time, why don't we ask him to help?" Cao Yun suggested.

"He doesn't seem to be allowed to shoot, and it doesn't count. Forget it, whoever shoots, open it and show me a look, and I'm satisfied."

The two were whispering, and a gentle voice came from beside them, "Yunniang, why don't I come and vote for you!"

Cao Yun turned around and saw that it was Li Yanqing standing beside him with a smile. Her face turned red. After a while, Qiqi Ai Ai said, "I don't know if Yun is allowed to help?"

"Allowed! Allowed!"

Cao Yun next to him said repeatedly: "Look, everyone in front of him was helping to throw arrows, otherwise they would have taken away the good prizes."

In fact, Cao Yun also saw that there were at least five or six couples in front of him were preparing to throw arrows together, but they were either couples who had been married, or they were lovers and concubines who were interested. What was it to accept his help?

Last October, when Cao Yun attended the magpie meeting for the first time, many young men took the initiative to help her throw a pot, but she politely declined it. But today, maybe it was because the first prize made her look forward to it, or maybe there was some other reason. Cao Yun finally nodded and agreed, "Then thank you Guanren Li."

Li Yanqing was excited and smiled and said, "Look at how he performed today?"

"Have Guanren Li thrown a archer before?" Cao Yun only knew that Li Yanqing was born as a Jinshi, but he didn't know that he was also the best archer.

"I have played in the Imperial Academy before, and I have always had good luck."

Cao Yun whispered to discuss with Cao Yun, and Cao Yun smiled and said, "If possible, Guanren Li will also help A Yun to vote!"

"As long as the rules allow, I have no problem!"

Cao Yun was immediately filled with joy and smiled, "As allowed, Guanren Li can help at most two people. I don't want a prize that is too high. You can help me win the C prize. I want that pair of butterfly dances with golden hairpins."

"Okay! It's wrapped around me."

The team was circulating a lot. Soon, there were only three people left in front. Now a young family of aristocratic families helped his fiancee who had been engaged to throw arrows. He had already hit three arrows in a row. The female companion next to him was so happy that she clapped her hands. The Cao sisters looked a little nervous.

Cao Yun whispered to Li Yanqing: "That person is named Zhao Wuben. He is an official in another place. He is very good at shooting arrows. He won the first prize a few years ago."

Li Yanqing was also paying attention to Zhao Wuben's archery technique. He was indeed very skilled and had very accurate control of his strength. However, he still lacked a little bit of control. He was a little worse at the exquisiteness. If he wanted to shoot five shots, he could only depend on his luck.

The fourth arrow shot out, ‘Dang!’ The bronze arrow bounced at the mouth of the pot, but it still fell into the pot. The manager whispered: “I’ve won all the shots, and I’ve won the B prize, and I’m ready to win the first prize!”

He actually shot everywhere, causing a sensation in the field. Countless eyes were staring at him. Zhao Wuben's temples were already sweating slightly. He took the fifth arrow, took a deep breath, and threw the bronze arrow with a wave of his hand. Just as the moment the bronze arrow was thrown, Li Yanqing knew that the arrow was not hit and his strength had lost balance.

Sure enough, with a "dou!" sound, the arrow hit the bottle's mouth and hit the ground, causing regretful booing around him. Zhao Wuben apologized and looked at his female companion, he had tried his best.

His female companion was not angry, and she had already run to hold a pair of celadon bottles in her arms, smiling so hard that she couldn't even close her mouth. This was a top-notch official kiln celadon, worth 600 jin. The two of them had no intention of committing to their revenge, so they went downstairs side by side.

The next two women didn't make a shot, and then ran to the back and continued to line up. Finally, it was Li Yanqing's turn.

The manager asked with a smile: "Does the yamen invest in his own investment or helping him invest?"

Li Yanqing smiled and pointed at the Cao sisters behind him, "I can vote for them once, can I?"

"But it's OK, but I have to make clear the rules. If I help you invest once, I can make another self-investment. If I help you invest twice, I can't make another self-investment."

"I know!"

The manager handed Li Yanqing a bronze arrow, which was a standard copper pot arrow, about seven inches long and weighed eight taels. It felt very good. Li Yanqing didn't think about it, and the bronze arrow was thrown out. With a precise sound of "Dang!", the Cao sisters' eyes burst into surprise, and the manager also exclaimed, "So amazing!"

He simply handed the remaining four arrows to Li Yanqing. Li Yanqing smiled slightly, and the bronze arrows in his hand flew out like pearl arrows. The remaining arrows were all put into the copper pot in one go. He patted his hands gently and said with a smile: "Can you count the first prize?"

The manager was stunned and asked for a while: "May I ask the surname of Yanei?"

"In the next Li Yanqing, my name is not on the list of banned shots."

"Ah! It turns out it's Li Tanhua, count! count!"

The manager quickly took the first prize scroll and handed it to Li Yanqing, "Congratulations to Li Tanhua."

Li Yanqing smiled and handed the scroll to Cao Yun. Cao Yun took the scroll excitedly. The smile on her face was even more gorgeous than the peach blossoms. She was extremely grateful and whispered: "Thank you, Brother Li!"

At this time, the people behind found that the first prize was gone, and a burst of exclamations suddenly echoed. Many people were confused and did not see clearly that the person ahead took action, so why did they win the first prize?

Seeing that there was a pair of celadon bottles, Li Yanqing asked Cao Yun with a smile: "Now you can choose whether to have a celadon bottle or a pair of butterfly gold hairpins?"

Cao Yun looked for a while and said, "I still want to deal with butterflies!"

She does not lack porcelain bottles, but she likes the pair of goldendie hairpins very much. This pair of goldendie is not cheap either. It is a pair of 350 jin. For women from aristocratic families, although they are wealthy, they will only get such expensive jewelry when they get married.

Li Yanqing said to the manager: "Give me three more arrows!"

There is not only one first prize in the pot-to-pole competition. As long as it meets the winning standards, there will be valuable prizes. So Li Yanqing took the first prize and aimed at the third prize. Everyone did not object, but they were very envious of the Cao sisters. Someone helped them take away expensive prizes.

At this time, the men who participated in the long shot also came over to watch the game. The dozens of young men were from aristocratic families with high martial arts skills, and most of them worked as guards in the palace. Of course, they knew that Li Yanqing's name was not reasonable. Although Li Yanqing participated in the mid-shooting, no one said anything. They did not violate the rules. If you blame them, they could only blame the Pan family for not including Li Yan's name on the list of banned shooting.

Li Yanqing took three arrows and smiled at the Cao sisters, "I'll play a fancy throwing pot!"

Cao Yun smiled, "Don't miss it, Ayun will cry."

"I'm not crying, I can only stomp my feet at most!"

Cao Yun was very curious, "How did Brother Li prepare to throw a pot in a fancy way?"

"Look at it!"

Li Yanqing threw three arrows at the same time. This move is called "Three Swallows Return to the Nest". It is a classic style in throwing pots. You must have extremely skilled skills to succeed. There was a burst of exclamation all around you.

The three arrows were under different pressures. They opened the distance after ten feet, and saw that the three arrows flew into the copper pot one by one like three golden milk swallows.

Applause suddenly sounded around him, Cao Yun cheered, ran over and grabbed a pair of golden butterfly hairpins.

Li Yanqing bowed to everyone again, and Cao Xing laughed loudly from the side, "Yanqing, come and try long-range shooting! See if he can take away the sword."
