Yuan Tan was invited by Liu Qi and went with him to hunt in the hunting grounds set up by the Jingzhou Army.

Dian Wei and Xu Chu stood behind Liu Qi to protect his personal safety, but did not interfere with Liu Qi's hunting.

Although Liu Qi and Yuan Tan were followed by a large group of people, but because it was a gentleman's agreement, except for Liu Qi and Yuan Tan themselves, other people could not take action at all during the hunting.

Once a servant helps and the other party finds out, even if they don't expose it, it will cause great loss to face if it is spread around.

Xu Chu followed Dian Wei, cooperating with him to guard Liu Qi carefully, and at the same time carefully observing Liu Qi's actions while hunting.

After just watching it for a while, Xu Chu felt that he couldn't stand it any longer.

Liu Qi's bow skills...in Xu Chu's eyes, were really too bad.

Even to the point of being unbearable.

According to Xu Chu's assumptions, Liu Qi's proficiency with bows and horses cannot be compared to those fierce generals in the army who are accustomed to fighting, but at least it is better than ordinary hunters and soldiers, right?

No matter how bad it is, it's still better than his subordinates at Xu's Wubao, right?

But in fact, in Xu Chu's view, Liu Qi's archery skills were really a mess, with almost nothing to be commended about.

It’s not that Xu Chu’s demands for Liu Qi are too high. After all, Liu Qi was born in a noble family and fought all year round... The noble families of this era basically held scriptures in one hand and bows and arrows in the other. When they were at the table, they were all outstanding Confucian scholars from ancient and modern times.

, and when next to the bow and horse, they are all good archers and hunters who are good at bow skills.

It is not said that one can pierce the Yang with a hundred steps, but one kill with ten steps can certainly be achieved.

The military force value of the gentry group in the Han Dynasty was so high, which was a characteristic of this era.

But this characteristic is not currently reflected in Liu Qi.

"Brother Dian!" Xu Chu stood beside him and seemed hesitant to speak.

Dian Wei Le Ma stood still and turned to look at Xu Chu: "What can Zhong Kang say?"

Xu Chu turned his head and looked not far away - Liu Qi was bending his bow and arrow, aiming at a doe not far away.

Behind him, the guards accompanying him didn't even dare to breathe, but guarded him carefully, for fear of disturbing His Majesty's affairs.

Not long after, Liu Qi suddenly let go of the bow string in his hand, and saw the sharp arrow shoot out from his finger, piercing the air and shooting straight towards the doe.

Dian Wei and Xu Chu took a deep breath at the same time!

They held their breath and waited seriously for the results.

Soon, I saw that the sharp arrow hit... a tree trunk next to the doe.

The doe was frightened and quickly disappeared from everyone's sight without giving anyone a chance to react.

Dian Wei took a long breath and turned to look at Xu Chu: "What did Zhong Kang just want to say to a certain family?"

Xu Chu pursed his lips towards Liu Qi who was not far away, and said: "Brother Dian, isn't that what I want to tell you... This hunting skill doesn't seem to be your Majesty's specialty?"

Dian Wei looked at him with a faint smile: "What do you want to say?"

"I want to say, if this continues, your Majesty will definitely lose. Your Majesty is not good at archery and horse skills, so why do you insist on trying to compete with Yuan Tan in hunting? Isn't this asking for humiliation?"

Dian Wei didn't say anything, he just sighed softly.

"His Majesty has gone far, let's follow him quickly!"

Dian Wei turned his head to look at Liu Qi who had disappeared not far away, and hurriedly gave Xu Chu instructions.

The two men quickly raised their whips and rode in pursuit.

On the way, Dian Wei asked Xu Chu: "Zhong Kang, does he know who taught your majesty's bow and horse?"

Xu Chu shook his head, "I don't know."

"Your Majesty's archery skills were taught by Huang Hansheng, and later under the guidance of Taishi Ziyi. Although he cannot shoot according to the sound, he is already a top-notch archery master in the world! Your Majesty was in Yangren County back then.

He formed an alliance with Sun Jian to fight together, and his archery skills were even recognized by Sun Jian. Over the years, your majesty has been fighting in the north and south, and your skills of archery and horse have never slackened for a day. This is because our army has too many brave generals, and your majesty is also known for his wisdom and strategy.

, so everyone in the world thinks that your Majesty’s military strategy is insufficient.”

Xu Chu was a little confused when he heard this.

He turned his head and looked at Liu Qi, who was searching for prey not far away. He couldn't believe it.

Dian Wei's words were quite serious, but they were completely inconsistent with Liu Qi's current performance.

Xu Chu raised his hand and scratched his head in confusion.

"That's not right..."

Dian Wei hurriedly said: "What I just said is true, but it's normal for you to have doubts in your heart... After all, His Majesty's performance today was too poor, not at all the same as in the past!"

"Performance is too poor?" Xu Chu's eyes widened.

Is this also a reason?

"Yes!" Dian Wei said affirmatively: "I have been following His Majesty for many years, and seeing that His Majesty has more opportunities to take action in front of the battle, naturally there are more opportunities than ordinary people. His Majesty's level today is really inconsistent with usual... But His Majesty's arrows are today

Why it is so inaccurate, I really don’t know.”

Xu Chu frowned and said casually: "It can't be intentional..."

Dian Wei did not answer Xu Chu, but looked at him rather... rather surprised.

That expression was as if he had discovered a new world.

It seems that this is really possible!

…

After a hunting session, Liu Qi and Yuan Tan met again, and both sides began to count the prey.

After an hour, Liu Qi shot four deer, three deer, and two hares.

The total number of Yuan Tan's prey was fully double that of Liu Qi.

The outcome is really obvious.

After learning the result, Yuan Tan showed a proud smile.

Liu Qi's expression was slightly gloomy.

It was obvious that he was unhappy.

However, although Yuan Tan was proud, he did not forget about it.

He did not open his mouth to ask for the so-called bets, but just watched Liu Qi quietly... to see how this so-called emperor would behave after losing to him.

When he was young, he saw a smile on Liu Qi's face.

Although the smile is a bit forced.

"I lost."

Yuan Tan did not expect that Liu Qi, who was already the emperor, would admit defeat so happily, and was slightly stunned at the moment.

After all, those in high positions have always been people who have their eyes set higher than the top and are extremely conceited.

It is almost impossible for someone with Liu Qi's status to admit defeat.

It is really not easy to do this.

However, the other party is also the legitimate emperor of the Han Dynasty, and will soon take him to Luoyang to control his life and death. Even if Yuan Tan wins against him, his reason tells Yuan Tan that he cannot do anything to Liu Qi.

Too rude.

It really pissed him off, and when Liu Qi killed him with a knife in Luoyang, he had no place to reason.

"Yuan just won a small victory for a while, just by chance. There was a lot of luck involved."

Liu Qi waved his hand and said: "Master Yuan, there is no need to be modest. I am a person who always speaks the truth and sticks to his word. If you lose, you lose. There is no need to hide it... The bet I lost to you will be sent to your military camp tomorrow.

Mr. Yuan just waits quietly."

"His Majesty is worthy of being a hero of the world."

Liu Qi chuckled, neither agreeing nor refuting: "It will be just tomorrow, Mr. Yuan, let's see you later."

After that, he turned around and left.

Yuan Tan was heartbroken and hurriedly called Liu Qi: "Your Majesty, please be patient. Tan has something to ask about, and I hope your Majesty will give you some advice."

Liu Qi slowly turned around, looked at Yuan Tan and said, "What do you want to ask?"
