Among the crowd, silence prevailed at this moment, and everyone's eyes were fixed on the two figures in the center.

Facing the gazes of everyone around him, the Wei official looked calm and walked slowly to the two people who had finished their contest.

He first stopped in front of the man in white and looked at the words recorded on the slip in his hand, without any fluctuation in his tone.

"Seven out of ten arrows."

Upon hearing this result, the man in white breathed out a sigh of relief, and the next moment a trace of pride appeared on his face.

According to his shooting skills, it is very easy to hit nine out of ten arrows on weekdays. Today's result can be said to be a miss.

But what he didn't expect was that even if he missed, his opponent still couldn't defeat him.

Thinking of this, the man in white turned sideways and looked at the man in red, and the proud look on his face became brighter and brighter.

The man in white was in a good mood, while his opponent, the man in red, had an angry look on his face.

But the result was already determined, and he could only watch as the Wei officials slowly walked up to him and announced the result without any emotion.

"Ten arrows hit five."

After announcing the results of the two people's archery one after another, the Wei official looked at the two people in front of him and confirmed again.

"Now that the superiority has been determined, do you have any objections?"

"No."

"No."

As the two of them expressed their attitudes respectively, the contest over trivial matters came to an end.

Seeing that there was not much excitement left to watch, the crowd gathered slowly dispersed. As for how to compensate, it was a matter between the two people.

Following the flow of people back along the way they came, Wei Shen kept recalling the scene just now in his mind, and Wei Shen's face was full of confusion.

After thinking about it for a long time without any result, Wei Shen looked at Wei? with some curiosity.

"Father, why did those two people use archery to resolve the conflict just now?"

Listening to the question that sounded in his ears, Wei Xiu's eyes moved slightly. His eyes were full of the father's kindness to his son.

"This matter is a long story. Do you still remember Prime Minister Li Kui whom I once mentioned to you?"

"Prime Minister Li Kui?"

Hearing Wei? suddenly mention Li Kui, Wei Shen's face became more confused. He didn't understand what the incident just now had to do with Li Kui.

"My father once said that it was thanks to Prime Minister Li Kui's reforms that our country Wei could stand out from the three Jins and become one of the most powerful countries in the world."

"It's just that Prime Minister Li Kui has died of illness for many years, so how can the incident just now still be related to him?"

"The reason why those two people used archery to resolve the conflict was precisely because of a decree issued by Prime Minister Li Kui that year."

In Wei Shen's curious expression, Wei? began to tell him the ins and outs of the decree.

At that time, before Li Kui was worshiped as the prime minister by Wei Wenhou, he once served as the county governor of Wei State.

The north of Shangdi is the sphere of influence of Yiqu and other Rongdi, and the west of Shangdi is the territory of Qin. It can be said that wars often occur in this area.

In order to stimulate the people of Shangdi to practice martial arts and archery, and to resist threats from the north and the west, Li Kui issued a decree when he was the governor of Shangdi.

This decree is the famous "Xiu Shooting Order".

According to the shooting order, if there is a conflict between the people of Shangdi, they will use archery to judge. The one who hits the target is the winner, and the one who misses the target is the loser.

This law sounds a bit absurd, but after it was implemented, the people in Shangdi all rushed to practice archery, and the martial arts gradually spread in Shangdi.

A few years later, the Qin State raised troops to attack Shangdi. Under the leadership of Li Kui, the people of Shangdi who were skilled in archery achieved a great victory over the Qin State.

It was precisely because of his series of political achievements in Shangdi that Li Kui was promoted to Anyi, the capital of Wei State, and was eventually worshiped as the Prime Minister of Wei State by Wei Wenhou.

After Li Kui became the Prime Minister of the Wei State, in addition to implementing a series of reform measures against the Wei State, this practice shooting order was gradually implemented throughout the Wei State.

Nowadays, the people of Wei State have conflicts. There are few large-scale private fights like Qin State. Instead, they rely on their respective archery skills to decide who wins and who loses.

After listening to Wei?'s introduction to Li Kui's practice of shooting, Wei Shen related the scene that had just happened, his face full of excitement as his doubts were solved.

"Father, Shen'er understands."

Later, just when Wei? was looking at Wei Shen beside him with a look of relief, a young voice appeared in his ears.

"Listening to your words will benefit Yang Yang a lot."

Looking along this voice, a somewhat familiar face appeared in Wei?'s field of vision.

The only difference from the face in his memory is that the person in front of him seems to be younger.

But even so, Wei? He would not mistake the person in front of him, because he was the one who made Qin become the great enemy of Wei in his previous life.

Looking at the gaze cast by Wei? in front of him, although he was a little confused about the hint of resentment in it, the man standing in front of Wei? still bowed forward.

"Weiren Gongsun Yang, I have met you sir."

After a few breaths, a smile appeared on his face, and Gongsun Yang said softly to Wei Yang: "Martin Yang had no intention of eavesdropping on what Mr. Yang was talking about just now, but Mr. Yang's introduction to Prime Minister Li Kui's practice of shooting order really made Yang Yang unable to extricate himself.

"

"If Yang Yang was rude just now, please don't blame me, sir."

Listening to the kind words in his ears, and looking at Gongsun Yang, who was only in his early twenties, Wei? The resentment caused by his previous life experience quietly disappeared.

A kind smile appeared on Wei?'s face, and he said to Gongsun Yang in front of him: "Ji Ying from Wei has met sir. What did he say?"

"What I said just now was just to clear up my children's doubts. So what if I heard it? Sir, please don't take this matter to your heart."

After a conversation, and with Wei?'s deliberate win over, the relationship between the two changed from strangers to friends who could talk to each other.

At this time, Wei Wei gently raised his head and looked at the sun, then looked at the bustling wine shops around him, and took the opportunity to send an invitation to Gongsun Yang in front of him.

"Now that the time has come, my husband and I are in agreement, how about we find a wine shop and have a few drinks?"

"In this case, it would be disrespectful for Yang Yang to refuse."

Just like that, under Wei?'s invitation, two figures, two large and one small, walked towards one of the most prosperous wine shops on the street.

When he came to the door of this restaurant and looked at the four big characters written in seal script, a smile suddenly appeared on Wei?'s face.

"Sir, do you know who the owner of this wine shop is?"

Hearing this sudden question from Wei Wei, Gongsun Yang raised his head and looked at the plaque above his head. When the words "Bai's Restaurant" appeared in front of his eyes, a sense of enlightenment appeared in his heart.

If Gongsun Yang's guess was correct, this Bai family came from the residence of the Emperor Wang Ji.

Thinking of this, Gongsun Yang asked Wei in a deep voice, "Could it be the world-famous Luoyi wealthy businessman Bai Gui?"

"Exactly."
