The Shatuo tribe in Puchanghai is just one of the Shatuo tribe with a population of thousands. This tribe belongs to the young chief Zhu Yuefu Kingdom.

When Li Zhen and the other four were camping here, they happened to meet Zhu Yuefuguo coming from the north to inspect his tribe. The Shatuo girl who challenged Li Zhen was Zhu Yueminzhi, the daughter of Zhu Yuefuguo.

Zhu Yueminzhi was only fifteen years old. His father had raised her as his son since he was a child, giving her the agile martial arts and superb riding and shooting skills of a Shatuo warrior.

In the Shatu tribe's riding and shooting competition last year, she wore a black panther warrior suit and defeated many Shatu warriors, winning the third place in riding and shooting in one fell swoop, winning the title of "Leopard Beauty Girl" among Shatu people.

This time she followed her father to Pu Changhai for inspection. She also wanted to pick a few girls who were good at riding and shooting to enrich her Shatuo female cavalry team. Unexpectedly, from Jiuzhi, she learned that Li Zhen was actually the number one riding and shooting master in the Tang Dynasty, which made her deeply interested.

But Li Zhen jokingly angered her again. She immediately gave Li Zhen a challenge book to compete with him for riding and shooting.

The news that Leopard Mei Niang was going to challenge Han teenagers quickly spread throughout the tribe. The Shatuo people are the Ma Shang people. They have lived in difficult environments for many years and have developed their brave and aggressive character.

This news immediately aroused great interest from the Shatu people. Even Zhu Yueminzhi's father was alarmed. He immediately ordered a riding and shooting conference on the banks of Puchang Sea, allowing hundreds of Shatu warriors to participate in this riding and shooting competition.

‘Woo--’ The melodious and low sound of the deer antlers blew on the vast grassland, and teams of Shatuo warriors rushed from a distance, planted flags on the grassland, and in a moment, a competition venue covering an area of ​​thousands of acres was formed.

At first, Shatu riders from groups of three or three came from the camp, galloping on horseback, setting off bows and shooting arrows in the field, preparing for the upcoming riding and shooting conference.

At this time, Zhu Yueminzhi was also running from afar surrounded by dozens of girls. She had already changed into a black panther warrior suit. This was a dress cut from black panther skin, tightly wrapped around her plump and slender body, long leather boots, her thighs and arms were exposed, colorful feathers were inserted on her head, and she ran on a horse with a storm bow in her hand, which further demonstrated her wild beauty.

"Has that Han boy arrived?" Zhu Yueminzhi asked loudly.

Several Shatu warriors came up and bowed, "He hasn't come yet."

"Go and monitor him to prevent him from running away."

Several Shatu warriors looked at each other, turned their horses toward the camp together, and ran.

At this time, another girl asked, "Sister Minzhi, do you think he will run away?"

Zhu Yueminzhi sneered and said, "That wine will blow him to the sky. If he is a shame, he will run away."

"That's it! I also think that Jiu Zhi is bragging. How could he be the number one master of riding and shooting in the Tang Dynasty? I think they are all ordinary people!"

"No matter whether he is the first master of cavalry and shooting in the Tang Dynasty or not, if he dares to despise me, I will make him pay the price!"

Zhu Yueminzhi's pretty face was covered with frost, and he turned his horse's head and ran towards the cavalry field.

.........

In the big tent, Li Zhen sat aside and calmly changed the strings of the Shadow Bow, as if the upcoming riding and shooting competition had nothing to do with him, he was just a spectator passing here.

Xiaoxi and Kang Dazhuang were very worried. In the early morning of the morning, Kang Dazhuang defeated the twelve challengers and won the respect of Shatuo Warriors, but that was just a private competition, and you can ignore the winner or lose.

However, the riding and shooting competition that Li Zhen was going to participate was a formal competition, initiated by Chief Shatu, and all Shatu warriors were going to participate. Kang Dazhuang knew that Shatu people were very powerful in riding and shooting. Although Li Zhen won the Dunhuang archery championship, he may not be able to gain an advantage compared with Shatu people who have been on horseback since childhood.

If you lose, it will probably leave a shame that is unforgettable to Li Zhen. Kang Dazhuang said worriedly: "Since we are not Shatu, we have no obligation to participate in this cavalry competition, and Chief Shatu did not formally invite us..."

Before Kang Dazhuang finished speaking, Jiu Zhi jumped up and shouted, "Do you mean to let Lao Li run away with his tail? The moon is dark and the wind is high. We pick up our luggage and slip away like a mouse. Lao Kang may do it. Fatty, I don't do it. A man will lose if he loses. I'm afraid of nothing!"

Kang Dazhuang also said angrily: "What do I mean? Am I thinking about myself? You fat man, don't think I don't know, you are causing this."

Jiu Zhi was furious and rolled up his sleeves and said viciously: "You Honu, do you want to fight?"

Kang Dazhuang stood up suddenly, clenched his fists, and half of his body like an iron tower covered Jiuzhi, "If you dare to insult me ​​again, I will kill you!"

The little timid and timid, he quickly clasped his hands and begged, "Two brothers, stop arguing, Brother Zhen needs quietness, you are disturbing your mind, how can you compare to arrows?"

Kang Dazhuang and Jiuzhi glared at each other with hatred and sat down again. Li Zhen only smiled, said nothing, and continued to focus on changing the bowstrings. At this time, there was a sound of horse hooves outside the tent, as if someone was shouting something?

Jiu Zhi was closest to the account door, so he opened it and looked at it, "Old Li, it seems that he is here to find you, more than a dozen Shatu warriors, one by one, as if they want to eat people."

Kang Dazhuang lifted the curtain and walked out with big strodes. Jiu Zhi felt embarrassed, so he secretly took out two flying knives and followed them out.

Outside the tent were more than a dozen Shatu boys of sixteen or seventeen years old, with a wide nose and big face, wearing a muddy hat, wearing a Turkic robe, and a leather belt. Everyone was holding a bow and arrow in their hands and a heroic war horse under their crotch. The Shatu people were so brave and fierce that the fire burned in their eyes. They shouted in Turkic words: "The Tang people in the tent come out, what qualifications do you have to compete with the beautiful girl of Leopard? Come out and die!"

Kang Dazhuang was proficient in Turkic language. He raised his copper stick and shouted loudly: "This is your chief's decision. Why don't you point the chief with arrows at the chief?"

More than a dozen Shatuo boys were furious and all set their bows and arrows, aiming them at Kang Dazhuang. At this time, the curtain was lifted, and Li Zhen walked out of it and said coldly: "Who is looking for me?"

The Shatu teenagers looked at each other, and the strongest teenager urged him to come forward and said, "We all think you are not qualified to compete with the beautiful girl in the Leopard. We want to challenge you and follow us!"

Kang Dazhuang whispered and Li Zhen laughed, "You may have made a mistake! It's not that I want to compete with her, but that she challenges me, who do you think of me?"

At this moment, several female Shatuo riders rushed over. The leader was Zhu Yueminzhi. When she saw a group of Shatuo young warriors surrounding Li Zhen with murderous aura, she immediately understood. She stepped forward and scolded angrily: "You are so hospitalized by the guests, you are simply disgraceful of Shatuo people. If you have the ability to challenge the stadium, what's the point of running here? Why don't you get out of here!"

The young man Shatuo was quite afraid of her, so he glared at Li Zhen with a hatred, turned his head and left, and soon ran away. Li Zhen smiled and nodded to her, "Thank you for your respect for the guests."

Zhu Yueminzhi said with a gloomy face: "The Shatuo people will not be rude to their guests, but when they enter the arena, there will be no host and guest. Life and death are in the sky. If you are afraid, it is still time to leave now."

For some reason, although Li Zhen could not quite understand the Turkic words spoken by the dozen Shatu boys, he could understand the Turkic words of the Shatu girl in front of him. He nodded and smiled, "Thank you for your reminder, but since the girl has invited you warmly, if I leave, I will be disrespectful."

Zhu Yueminzhi's face calmed down a little, and he said, "I'm here to ask what your name is. My name is Zhu Yueminzhi, where are you?"

"Li Zhen, Dunhuang!"

'Li Zhen!' Zhu Yueminzhi recited it silently twice. After remembering this name, she turned her horse's head and said, "The competition is about to begin. Please go there as soon as possible and adapt to the venue first to perform the best archery skills. I am looking forward to seeing you bow down to your head and surrender under my arrow."

"Each each other! Each other!"

Zhu Yueminzhi glanced at Li Zhen deeply, whipped the war horse hard, and rushed to the northeast. Jiuzhi praised loudly: "This Hu Niang is good, it's so wild!"

"It's just a boar in heat, and his eyes are straight when he sees any woman!" Kang Dazhuang cursed him softly.

Jiuzhi didn't hear this, otherwise he would jump up again, but Li Zhen felt that Jiuzhi was right, and Zhu Yueminzhi was indeed wild enough.

.........

The stadium was already very lively. Nearly Wanshatu people gathered around, put on their best clothes, talked a lot, and laughed from time to time. The Shatu people had no specific festivals. For them, the gathering of the entire tribe was the grandest festival.

In the other corner of the field, more than 500 young Shatu warriors gathered together on horseback. Everyone was extremely excited, their faces were red, they held a bow and arrow, their eyes were full of fighting spirit and expectations for victory. The admiration of the girls in the distance was their greatest motivation.

No one expected that Zhu Yuemin's angry words would turn into an unprecedented riding and shooting competition among the Shatuo people in Puchang.

The Shatu people temporarily built a stand, where Shatu chief Zhu Yuefuguo and several elders of the clan sat.

Zhu Yuefuguo was about forty years old, with a medium figure and as strong as a cow. His two long beards were trimmed very neatly. His father Zhu Yue Jinshan was the chief of the entire Shatuo people. He was nearly sixty years old. Soon, Zhu Yuefuguo would inherit his father's chief position.

"Are those Han teenagers here?" Zhu Yuefuguo asked with a smile.

"Come here, there!"

A follower pointed to the corner of the field, and Zhu Yuefuguo saw it. On the other side of the Shatuo Warriors, four teenagers stood there alone with their horses, as if no one was paying attention to them.

"They are guests, so you can't be so rude. Please come here!"

After a moment, the follower brought Li Zhen and four others over, and the four bowed and bowed, "See the Chief!"

Zhu Yuefuguo glanced at them and his eyes fell on Li Zhen. He was a person with vision. Although Kang Dazhuang was tall and burly, he was only powerful and could not see that he had practiced archery hard, and the other two could not see anything extraordinary.

Only Li Zhen had a particularly long arms and a body full of explosive power that was invisible. His cold eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts. This was the trace left by years of hard practice of archery.

"You are Li Zhen?" Zhu Yuefuguo looked at Li Zhen and asked with a smile.
