Su Ling stretched out her arms and pulled the bow, just like Xiao Yu taught her, squinting her eyes to focus on the heart, and releasing her thumb very quickly, the moment she exerted force, the bowstring trembled faintly.
Only a "poof" sound was heard.
The arrowhead is firmly inserted into the red heart.
Although the distance of the first arrow is the closest and the easiest, the next nine bullseyes will come further and further, but the skill of opening a good start is comparable to reassurance, and the state of mind is stable, and it may be like a broken bamboo.
Su Ling rode forward, the first five arrows hit the red heart without any accident, but it was obviously difficult from the sixth bullseye. Six, seven, eight, and nine were all empty shots, but the last arrow was the farthest one. The bullseye... actually hit it directly.
In this way, she has a higher score than Princess Cheng.
Su Ling knew very well that with this arrow, the blind cat probably met the dead mouse.
But luck is also part of strength.
So, she very calmly accepted the applause of the onlookers.
After everyone finished the competition, Su Ling returned to the viewing platform, and there were more female relatives beside Empress Chu.
She sat on Xiao Yu's left.
Empress Chu smiled and said, "A Ling, your arrow skills have really improved a lot, especially the last arrow, which is really impressive to this palace."
Su Ling said: "The mother has passed the prize, and the arrow at the end is just luck."
Empress Chu tilted her head and said, "Ah, haven't you always wanted to learn archery? According to this palace, you might as well follow your third brother to learn."
Chu Yu smiled with two dimples, looked at Xiao Yu and said, "Ah is stupid, will your Highness teach me?"
The one who spoke was Chu Yu, the niece of the Empress Chu, who was fourteen this year.
"Empress mother, after a while, the Duchayuan will be busy. My son is afraid that he will not be able to teach the second girl well." Xiao Yu thought for a moment and said, "The second girl wants to learn riding and archery, but I have a choice. Official position, but excellent in archery."
The smile on Empress Chu's face diminished a bit, but she still followed him and said, "Oh? I can get your admiration, I don't know who it is."
Xiao Yu silently grabbed the cold fingertips under the case, and said word by word, "He family Erlang, He Zichen."
As soon as the words fell, Su Ling made a swallowing motion, and the hair on the temples stood up.
She suddenly remembered that when He Zichen was hunting wolves in the daytime, he looked back at her.
The other side-
Emperor Jiaxuan was so happy just now that he couldn't help laughing, and then said: "It's said that tiger fathers have no dog daughters, I look at it, Princess Jin looks like a daughter of a doorman today, Duke Zhenguo, what do you say? is not it?"
Su Jingbei smiled and said, "Your Majesty's words make this minister extremely ashamed."
"Why did Duke Zhen Guo say this?" Emperor Jiaxuan asked.
Su Jingbei said softly, "It's not that I didn't teach the princess archery a few years ago, but she refused to learn it. Now, after marrying His Royal Highness King Jin, she has made progress."
Hearing this, Emperor Jiaxuan couldn't help laughing, and said loudly: "Go and send the pair of deerskins that I called to King Jin and Princess Jin."
The inner official said: "The servant will go now."
After lunch, people began to perform on the stage one after another.
In the evening, Emperor Jiaxuan pondered about the hunt in the second half, and said casually: "If you have any good ideas, please come up with them."
The Jiaxuan Emperors mentioned by Wenchen were not satisfied. He suddenly thought of Jing Changyi, who had a lot of ghost ideas, and said, "Does Jing Aiqing have any ideas?"
Jing Changyi stood up and saluted.
"This is an ordinary hunting, but hunting bears, leopards, lynx, elk, wolves, wild boars and other stubborn insects, but I have heard that there is a tiger's den hidden in this mountain, and there is a beautiful whole body, and its bones can be boiled into soup to prolong life. If you can win by finding this colorful tiger, it would be very interesting." After that, Jing Changyi added another sentence: "But this is just hearsay, it is not known if there is this colorful tiger."
"It doesn't matter if you have it or not." Emperor Jiaxuan said with a smile: "If it doesn't, then it will be the same as in previous years to win or lose by counting."
In another half an hour, the sky will be dark. At this time, I will go hunting, and I will travel on a steep and rugged mountain road. There are no vertical and horizontal lanterns, and only a few torches are used for lighting.
Emperor Jiaxuan said, "What do you think?"
Cheng Wang said: "My son is willing."
Xiao Yu and King Yan said, "My son is also willing."
Hearing this proposal, the emperor's three sons responded calmly. But everyone was beating drums in their hearts. Who is this Jing Changyi? After thinking about it, no one has any clue.
The pupils of the men are very secretive, after all, they have their own plans in their hearts,
But women are different.
Su Ling's expression was still calm. After all, she knew that Xiao Yu's riding and archery skills were so good, not because he had studied hard since he was a child. Only men on the battlefield will have it.
On the other hand, Princess Cheng and Princess Yan couldn't sit still.
At night, the sound of the wind and hunting, the top 20 who went on the field to hunt, brought a few followers, and walked towards the forest one after another.
After they left, the performance of swallowing swords and breathing fire on the stage made people uninterested...
Due to the dangers in the forest, every half an hour, soldiers would send news to the viewing platform.
The first few times were considered peaceful. Either King Jin hunted wild deer, King Yan hunted wild boar, or Su Huaian hunted wild wolves...
The soldier who passed the news was able to speak well and explained the thrills and fun in it. Long Xin was very happy and immediately gave him an official position.
Because of this, everyone's hearts gradually calmed down, and they began to talk and laugh, and from time to time they missed a glance.
Time flies, and the fourth half hour has passed, but the soldiers have not yet arrived.
"Go and ask, what's going on?" Emperor Jiaxuan said.
In a blink of an eye, I saw that the accompanying imperial physicians were all running to the south.
This is what happened.
Rao Shi Su Ling believed him again, so she could not help clenching her fists, her fingertips were cold.
In less than half an hour, the soldier, who was still full of spring, suddenly knelt in front of Emperor Jiaxuan and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, King Yan is injured."
"King Yan is injured?" Emperor Jiaxuan frowned and said, "Where is the injury?"
The ragged gasps of soldiers filled the viewing platform.
"Say!"
The soldier said: "King Yan encountered a tiger's den. There were six tigers in it, and one was a female. Those beasts killed the guards and bit King Yan's... leg."
"You bastard!" Emperor Jiaxuan stood up and said, "Where are the people! Where are the people of King Yan!"
When King Yan was carried over, everyone couldn't help but hold their mouths. This was biting a leg. This was simply missing a leg. Below the right side of the waist, the blood was blurred and there was nothing.
Empty.
Seeing this scene, Princess Yan leaned back directly...
Emperor Jiaxuan stared at his dying son, his arms burst with blue veins, and turned around and said, "Call King Cheng and King Jin back to me, immediately! If you can't find them, send troops to search the mountains!"
King Yan's biological mother, Concubine Zhuang, knelt down on the ground and cried to the emperor, "Your Majesty! Your Majesty wants to be the master of Erlang! Someone must be trying to harm Erlang tonight!"
Su Ling looked at Emperor Jiaxuan's back, and instantly understood why the emperor was ruthless. If King Yan was abolished, he would be abolished, but the other two couldn't have another accident.
When King Cheng came back, sweat soaked and dragged, he knelt on the ground and whispered: "My son is guilty."
Emperor Jiaxuan said coldly, "Where's King Jin!"
The soldier passed on the words to Eunuch Yao, who said in a low voice, "Your Majesty... The people in the forest said that they did not see King Jin and Master Su."
Su Ling's chest trembled.
She said silently: It's alright, he and Su Huaian are together, it must be alright.
The emperor sent troops to search the mountain, and Wuyangyang's soldiers galloped south with torches in hand. Before they could split up, they saw Xiao Yu and Su Huaian come out of the jungle.
The full moon hangs high, and the mountains are foggy.
In the daytime, the two people, who were beautiful in the moonlight, walked out like yin envoys covered in blood.
Xiao Yu held a leg in his hand.
That's King Yan's leg.
King Yan's heart is like a mirror. In this battle between the princes, there are both winners and losers. Before entering Mount Li, all three of them have the will to kill, so if they win, they have to afford to lose. But he saw Xiao Yu walked up to him with his leg showing his bones and called out, "Second brother."
Even at this time, they still have their own thoughts.
King Yan's eyes were still red after all.
King Yan's blood flowed nonstop, his breathing gradually weakened, and he said to Xiao Yu, "Third brother..."
Xiao Yu lowered his head.
King Yan's pale lips pressed against his ear, and he whispered: "This world is named Xiao after all, you... you should beware of Empress Chu."
In an instant, the mountain wind whistled past.
The window of Jingren Palace was blown open by the wind—
