The speaker is naturally Li Xiu. Although he didn't know how this young and strong man was archery, he would definitely be snatched by the most elite Modao team when he entered the army based on his figure. Therefore, he also developed a love for talent, not to mention that his usual money was nothing.

"This... I will not receive any reward without any merits, I..." The young and strong man was happy when he saw Li Xiu willing to pay for him, and then hesitated. After all, he was not a person who likes to take advantage of others.

"Haha, if a hero has confidence, I will lend you this money to you, and I will pay it back to me when you win!" Li Xiu smiled again at this time. Although the living conditions of the ancients were much worse than those of later generations, the influence of Confucianism was deeply rooted in people's hearts, so the moral level was above that of later generations.

Hearing that Li Xiu changed his words and was willing to lend the money to him, the strong man immediately showed a happy expression and immediately bowed to Li Xiu: "Thank you for your help. Since that's the case, then Xue is not polite. When I win the gold later, let's get half the score!"

Li Xiu was not interested in Hu people's gold, but he did not have the kindness of rejecting the strong man, because he knew that if he did not agree, the other party would not be willing to lend him money, so he nodded immediately and then asked someone to take out silver worth the same as the usual money to hand it over to the other party. Although silver is not the circulating currency of the Tang Dynasty, because copper coins are too bulky, it is sometimes very inconvenient to trade. In addition, the bearded guest kept transporting silver to the Central Plains, which made more and more silver on the market. Gradually, some people started to trade silver, and the government turned a blind eye to this.

The strong man took the silver and handed it to the Hu people. Then he picked the hardest big bow from the bow prepared by the Hu people, and then asked loudly to the other party: "How do you think you are comparing? Is it a target shot or a target shot?"

"Forget it, look at the target in the distance. You can hit it first, otherwise you will not be qualified to compete with our archers!" The middle-aged Hu man pointed to the target in the distance and said, and the arrows on it had been cleaned up.

The strong man didn't say nonsense when he heard this, he directly tapped the bow and arrow. In the blink of an eye, three arrows were shot at the same time, and almost hit the bull's eye at the same time. This shocked everyone around him. Li Xiu also showed a surprised expression. Unexpectedly, this strong man was not only tall, but his archery skills were so outstanding. He also said that his surname was Xue, which made Li Xiu suddenly think of someone. It was not really such a coincidence, right?

The layman watched the fun and the insiders looked at the tricks. As soon as this strong man took action, the two Hu people and archers all showed solemn expressions. They did not let the other Hu people end up, but walked over together and said a few words to the middle-aged Hu people in Hu language. Then the middle-aged Hu people asked someone to put the target a hundred steps away. The previous target was only fifty steps at most, otherwise with Li Jin's arm strength, it would be impossible for him to shoot that far.

The word "Hundred Steps" piercing Yang has always been used to praise people with outstanding archery skills, but it is actually not easy to actually hit the target outside the 100 steps. Some people with bad eyes can't even see the situation outside the 100 steps, let alone let them shoot archers. Therefore, the archers' eyes are particularly sharp, and experienced people can tell such archers at a glance.

The target was placed outside a hundred steps, and the two Hu people's archers almost took action together. Several long arrows were shot out from their hands, and they all hit the bull's eye in the blink of an eye. This performance also shocked everyone. Even Li Xiu was a little amazed. Even the archers in the army could only do this.

However, the strong man was not too surprised to see the performance of the two Hu people's archers. Instead, he said loudly to the middle-aged Hu people: "The target is too close, add fifty steps!"

"What? Are you sure you can shoot a target a hundred and fifty steps away?" The middle-aged Hu man couldn't help but frown when he heard the strong man's request.

"If I fail to shoot, I will lose!" The strong man said confidently. In fact, if it weren't for the insufficient strength of the bow in his hand, he would really want to move the target to 180 steps directly, so as not to spend any more effort.

When the middle-aged Hu people heard the strong man say this, they no longer talked more and ordered people to move the target one hundred and fifty steps away. From the strong man, the target had become a small dot, and it was not easy to hit it, but the strong man was not afraid at all. They opened their long bow and shot three arrows in a row. As a result, they not only hit it, but also hit the bull's eye. This made people around them also amazed. After all, this kind of archery technique can be called a magical skill.

However, the two Hu people's archers were not to be outdone. They also set their bows and arrows at this time, and several arrows actually hit the bull's eye, which made the competition reach orgasm, and everyone around them showed a nervous look.

"Two hundred steps!" The strong man spoke again at this time.

Hearing the number of two hundred steps, the middle-aged Hu man seemed to want to say something, but in the end he still didn't speak. Then he ordered people to put the target two hundred steps away. At this distance, ordinary people could only see the rough appearance of the target, and they couldn't see the bull's eye clearly, and ordinary bows could not hit that far.

However, at this time, the two Hu people archers shot the arrow first. They raised their bows and arrows, and the two long arrows appeared in a perfect parabola. In the end, they both hit the target, but they only hit and did not hit the bull's eye. After all, although the projectile can ensure that the arrow can shoot farther, the accuracy is difficult to guarantee.

Seeing that two Hu people's archers actually shot the target, the people around were silent because such archery skills were beyond their imagination. Even Li Xiu had a little bit of pride in talent. Such archers should really be recruited to serve in the army. Anyway, there were quite a few Hu people in the Tang army, and two more archers can also increase their combat power in the army. Especially in the melee, archers often choose the opponent's generals as targets, which is similar to later snipers. Each shot can greatly reduce the opponent's combat power.

However, the young and strong man was still very confident at this time. He threw down the long bow in his hand and strode forward. He actually reached out to grab the bows of the two archers, then put the two bows together, reached out to take down an arrow on the string, and then suddenly let go. The long arrow combined the power of the two bows and flew out like lightning. In the blink of an eye, he hit the target and hit the bull's eye. Even because of the excessive force, the tip of the arrow actually penetrated from behind the target.

"Okay!" Seeing the amazing performance of this young and strong man, the onlookers, including Li Xiu and Li Jin, couldn't help but cheer loudly. This strong man's archery technique was simply magical, and what was even more amazing was his arm strength. After all, the two archers used super hard bows, but he could actually drive two at a time. This divine power is probably rare in the army.

"It's not really that person, right?" After applauding, Li Xiu said in surprise. Judging from the performance of this young man, he was thinking more and more about the person he had just thought of, but this was too coincidental. But it was not surprising to think about it. The other party's hometown seemed to be near Taiyuan.

"No, you are cheating. How can you use two bows to shoot archers?" Seeing that the young and strong man beat two archers in one fell swoop, the middle-aged Hu man suddenly became a little panicked, and then he shouted in disrespect.

"Just win the archery, do you have to use a bow?" The young and strong man was not stupid, and frowned and said angrily. His words were also supported by people around him, and a group of people shouted that the middle-aged Hu people were cheating.

Seeing that he was angry with the public, the middle-aged Hu seemed even more panicked. However, when he saw the ten ingots of gold beside him, he also showed a fierce expression on his face and immediately shouted: "Since you want to compete with us, you must follow our rules. This strong man actually snatched our bow and used two bows at a time. This is cheating, so it is not considered a win at all!"

"Why, are you trying to pay for your debt?" The young and strong man was also very angry at this time. He then made great strides to the middle-aged Hu people and said angrily. The middle-aged Hu people only reached his chest and were under great pressure to face his height.

"This... this is not a debt, unless you compete with us again!" The middle-aged Hu people were also afraid that the strong man would take action. After all, they were Hu people. If they caused trouble in Taiyuan, the government would not stand on their side, not to mention that they were in the wrong place, so they retreated a little at this time.

"What can I compare? If you are not as skilled as others, you have to admit defeat. Do you guys want to make trouble in the territory of our Tang Dynasty?" Li Xiu also walked forward with a calm face.

"That's right, losing is losing. I lost to you just now. I didn't cheat on me and want to get back my usual money!" At this time, Li Jin also shouted loudly. Although he lost just now, he was not very willing. At this time, he felt very relieved when he saw the strong man defeating the other party, so he naturally stood on the strong man's side.

When the middle-aged Hu people saw Li Xiu and Li Jin also stood up, and they looked at them dressed in luxury and had more than a dozen ingenious guards around them, they could tell at first that they were powerful people in the Tang Dynasty, which was not something they could afford. And when the people around them saw a noble leader like Li Xiu, they naturally had more confidence, and they were also shouting to ask the Hu people to give money.

Seeing this, the middle-aged Hu people didn't dare to cheat again. After all, if they continue to make trouble like this, they might attract people from the government. If they are caught in the government office, they may even lose their skin even if they die, so in the end they have to hand the gold to the strong man with a bitter face.

The young and strong man did not forget the promise just now. He smiled and came to Li Xiu with gold, then took out five of them and handed them to Li Xiu and said, "Thank you for your generous donation just now. This is what you promised just now. Please accept it!"

Li Xiu was not polite either. He smiled and took the gold. However, when he took the gold into his hand, his face suddenly changed. Then he looked at the middle-aged Hu man next to him with anger and said angrily: "There is something wrong with this gold!"
