Chapter 418: Recalling old things

Cao Hua intercepted the feather arrow again and stretched out his hand with great enthusiasm:

"General Song, it's my turn."

Many officials and soldiers were stunned and thought for a long time. This was incomparable. How could they compare if they couldn't even shoot arrows?

Zhao Huai was unhappy and took a few steps forward: "Brother-in-law, you are too bullying. If you can't do it, don't do it. Let's stay away." As he said that, he pulled Cao Hua ten steps away, and then stopped until he was sure that even the gods could not rush through.

Seeing that his cousin helped him, Song Yang's confidence surged again and hurriedly seized the opportunity to shoot the arrow, not giving Cao Hua a chance to rush over.

Sa--

This time everyone finally saw the feather arrow breaking through the air.

Cao Hua flicked his fingers lightly, and the raindrops dripping from the tip of the umbrella bones rushed out at the same time.

The feather arrow flew out of the city wall less than one meter, and then slightly deviated from the original track, flew past the willow bark, and inserted it into the mud behind it.

"this......"

Although everyone saw nothing hitting the feather arrow, the obvious deviation of the trajectory could be seen. They all turned their heads and looked at Cao Hua who was blocked by Zhao Huai with his arms spread.

Cao Hua frowned slightly: "What's wrong?"

“…”

Song Yang blushed and couldn't bear it anymore. After holding it in for a long time, he raised his hand and said:

"Monkey King Cao, you first."

King Kang looked at it with relish and looked around, but unfortunately there was no tea.

Cao Hua smiled and took the strong bow, Song Yang hurriedly took the crossbowmen's bow and arrows and pulled them away first, ready to go.

Judging from this, I am preparing to treat the person with the same way.

This is obviously a bit interesting. Many soldiers and officials stared at him intently.

Cao Hua took a slight look, and after finding the feeling, the feather arrow broke through the air.

Song Yang's eyes were extremely sharp, and he let go almost at the same time. Two arrows crossed in mid-air, successfully knocking Cao Hua's arrow to the direction.

"good--"

A thunderous cry sounded, and Zhao Huai almost jumped up, looking relieved.

Many officials nodded, and even King Kang was satisfied and felt that his talents were more outstanding.

Song Yang's excitement in his eyes could not be concealed, so he hugged his fists: "Mr. Cao, it's my turn." He said this, and he was really proud.

It’s a pity that Cao Hua smiled brightly and raised his hand to point to the willow tree below:

"It's over."

“…?”

Song Yang's expression was slightly stiff.

Everyone was stunned, then turned their heads and looked down, and found that there was another arrow on the willow tree that King Kang shot. They divided the arrows into two and inserted them accurately into the tree.

“This is impossible.”

Song Yang smiled completely and was full of surprise: "I clearly missed it just now, when did you shoot another arrow?"

Zhao Huai was also confused. The two arrows that had just hit the ground were all inserted into the ground. Why did one more come out inexplicably?

Cao Hua thought for a while, took out another feather arrow from the quiver, threw it with his wrist, and the feather arrow rushed out and nailed it to the willow tree under the city wall.

Everyone was silent.

Song Yang stared at him for a long time: "This... is also worth it?"

"Yes, brother-in-law, you obviously don't treat Song Yang as a human being. Why do you always bully him like this..."

King Kang shook his head and chuckled, raised his hand: "Forget it, you can't tell the winner in a day if you compete like this. It's still the skill of guns and sticks, and there are not so many tricks..."

Song Yang was stunned, fresh, and then shook his head: "Prince, I am willing to accept the loss of the bet. Song is ashamed of losing a little."

“Hahaha….”

It was naturally difficult for everyone to encourage Song Yang to come forward and lead him to death. He beat him up and ended with a haha.

Cao Hua lowered his bow and arrow and continued to follow King Kang to patrol the city wall.

Walking past a water gate, a man was pushing a cart under the inner wall, carrying sandbags on it, knocking and beating under the wall.

Cao Hua stuck out of the trunk and looked at it a few times. Han'er held an umbrella and looked a little confused: "Young master, are there any problems?"

Song Yang's face was still red, and he came to the front and smiled, "There have been signs of collapse in the river embankment these days. The prince sent a letter to Zhao Zhizhou. It was Zhao Zhizhou who arranged for people to repair the city wall and reinforce it with stone bricks and lime mortar to avoid being washed away by water."

Cao Hua nodded and saw that the government had made some moves, he didn't say anything more.

--------

From the city wall, the brigade of guards surrounded the carriage of the royal palace. King Kang got on the carriage with the help of Song Yang. Many civil servants also bowed their goodbye one after another and left in a sedan.

Step on the pedal-

The sound of horse hooves came from the street, with postmen sitting on it, and flags on it, running under the city wall in the rain, and then said aloud:

"Where is Cao Hua, the Marquis of Wu'an?"

Many officials and King Kang asked the carriage to stop, lifted the curtain, and looked at it in confusion.

The red flag was planted on his back, which was a rushing 800 miles. Only when there were major military situations could an edict be issued in this way. Could it be that the officials had instructions on the fight against the rebellion? The Xuanfu envoy who was responsible for fighting against the rebellion was not here. Even if there were important instructions, the other officials should be the ones who received the order. What's the matter with Cao Hua?

King Kang frowned slightly, raised his hand and called the postman over: "Cao Hua is here."

The postman dismounted his horse and took out the cylinder from behind, gave a bow first, then opened the imperial edict and said loudly:

"I have received the decree of Haotian: Wu'an Hou, the governor of Diankui, Cao Hua, has received the honor of the holy people since he was a child and has entrusted him with important tasks, but he is unruly by nature and cannot tell the truth. He will not change his life after repeated teachings..."

"Don't let your mother go!"

King Kang was furious when he heard this, and directly pulled out Song Yang's sword and jumped out of the carriage.

The postman was so scared that his face turned pale. He knelt on the ground and did not dare to speak anymore.

The civil servant was also very scared. The imperial edict was what the emperor said. How could it be described as "let your mother's bullshit"?

Many civil servants quickly got out of the sedan chair and ran over to comfort and stop:

"Don't calm down, please calm down!"

Cao Hua frowned, walked to the postman and said coldly:

"If you have something to do, just say it."

The postman trembled slightly, kneeled on the ground and said tremblingly:

"The Lord... was furious because the governor slapped Lord Xuan Fu and envoyed Lord Tan, and the ministers also made the governor too impulsive. In order to calm the ministers' resentment, the Lord fined the salary for three years and took back the right to behead first and then report. He returned to Beijing today to resume his post. If there was any delay, he would remove the position of Chief Supervisor of the Diankui."

Han'er was furious and held the hilt of the sword and said coldly: "Young Master beat Tan Zhen a month ago, why did the imperial edict come down now?"

The postman was speechless and didn't know at all.

Cao Hua raised his hand to stop Han'er, thought for a while, and glanced back at the many officials in Hangzhou.

All the civil officials were silent, all lowered their heads and dared not speak.

"Get out of here." Cao Hua's face was slightly dark.

A group of civil servants hurriedly bowed, hurriedly got into the sedan chair, and left one after another.

King Kang obviously had a real fire, and he walked back and forth in the rain with his hands behind his back. After he was no outsiders around, he said angrily:

"It must be the turtle lambs in the capital who are fanning the flames behind their backs. The emperor's brother is unaware of the people and believes in flattery..."

Cao Hua raised his hand gently: "It's just a little punishment. I'm going to beat Tan Zhen first, so I can just go back to Beijing to ask for a crime."

King Kang walked back and forth with his hands behind his back, sorting out the veins a little, and suddenly a loud bang came from a very far away, like a collapse of a mountain wall, clearly audible for several miles.

Everyone's expression changed slightly, and they all looked at the source of the sound. The rain curtain blocked their sight and could not see anything at all.

"It's Dongshuimen."
