29. Archery on horseback
When he got on the horse, he was okay, and he rolled on the horse's back with a kick of his right foot, which gave Yilan a lot of confidence. Without waiting for Hana Goka to come, he took the reins and knocked on the horse's belly, and the pony trotted slowly and obediently.
Hearing the exclamation of Hua Wuxiang in his ears, he turned his face and waved his hand at the emperor, concentrating on trotting along the horse farm. Soon the lap was over, and Ylang didn't stop and continued on to the second lap. After the second lap, he loosened the reins and let the horse run freely.
Seeing that the second lap was approaching, Ylang tightened the reins. This body has not exercised for too long, and my heart is beating faster after this moment, sweating profusely, my hands and feet are weak, and I am afraid that I will not be able to sit still if I want to run again.
Seeing that the horse stopped, Hua Wuxiang rushed up and pulled the reins, and shouted, "Yilan, I didn't see that you really know how to ride a horse." ”
Yilan smiled proudly, "It's a pity that I've been sick all the time, and I don't have the strength in my body, otherwise I can run fast." ”
The emperor came over with a smile, "It's not bad, but you haven't recovered from your illness for a long time, even if you exercise, you have to work gradually, don't be too tired." ”
"Yes, Father, Yilan Zhilu said." Under the hand of Hua Wuxiang, when he stepped on the ground, he felt that his legs were weak, so he didn't sit on the ground. Ylan's face turned red.
I heard a strange cry on my head, and when I looked up, I saw the golden eagle hovering in the sky with its wings spread, and suddenly turned over and swooped down. When he saw that it was actually coming to him, Yilan was frightened. But she didn't hide, and stretched out her hand to signal the eagle to stand on her hand.
The golden eagle rushed quickly, until it saw that its head was about to touch the ground, it turned over, stretched out its sharp claws and fell to Yilan's arm near the shoulder, and slowly retracted its wings when it stood firm.
The golden eagle is huge, the wingspan is more than 2 meters, the weight is also large, there is always a look of eight or nine pounds, swooping down at a very fast speed, the wind from the huge wings makes people unable to open their eyes, and the momentum is very scary. With the momentum falling, Yilan shook a few times before standing firm. I felt a pain in my arms and shoulders, and it turned out that the carved claws were sharp, and they had torn through the thick clothes and embedded them in the flesh.
"Make trouble, tell you not to bully Sister Yiyi, why are you disobedient, be careful to wait for the sixth brother to come and pluck out your hair." The Twelve Princes exclaimed.
"Don't be afraid, you're just making trouble? It's so cute. Yilan was not afraid at all, put his hand on his waist to borrow strength, and touched the hair on his leg with the other hand.
Noisy also stared curiously at the woman under him, the reason why it was called noisy was because it had scared these royal and noble women countless times. Every time it appears, it always causes chaos, some screaming in terror, some fleeing in all directions, and even fainting in fright. But this woman was the most special one, not only was she not afraid, but she also stretched out her hand to let it fall. And it didn't cry after it scratched her delicate skin, and praised itself for being cute.
Hua Jianrui grew up watching the trouble, and when he saw it hovering in the sky, he knew that Lu Dao would make such a move, and he didn't drive it away just to see Yilan's reaction. I thought that although Yilan would not faint, at least she would cry, but she didn't expect this thin body to have an unexpected calmness. Seeing the trouble falling on Yilan, I only felt distressed, such a good child is the pillar of the future royal family, Hua Wulian is also in love with her, but unfortunately she has no outstanding life experience, nor a healthy body, and now it is unpredictable to what extent this sick and weak body can recover, but I am afraid that the road will be bumpy in the future.
"Make a fuss, don't leave yet." Hua Jianrui waved his hand and drove away the commotion on Yilan's shoulder, "Good boy, the skin was scratched by that beast, go back and get some medicine." As he spoke, he summoned the lotus tree who was watching from the sidelines and asked her to help Yilan go back.
Yilan wanted to refuse, but looked at the torn clothes on his body, which was really ugly, so he had to go back and change it first.
When the lotus plush swooped down from the eagle, she sat on the ground in fright, and she couldn't even scream in fright. Seeing the emperor's summons, he could only come over tremblingly.
Yilan was amused when she saw it, "Lianpeng, don't be afraid, just a big bird will scare you, it is very docile." Reluctantly, he took the lotus pod and comforted him softly.
After the medicine came out and changed clothes, breakfast was already on the table, and Hua Jianrui beckoned Yilan to sit down with him.
"Ylan, what else do you want to get? Yesterday I think you said you could shoot arrows? The king asked.
Seeing that the king still remembered, Yilan blushed a little, "Well, I know some, but I'm not proficient, and I'm afraid I won't be able to pull the bow at the moment." ”
Wang Shang waved his hand, "If you don't have to worry about it, find a lighter bow and practice it slowly, it is always good for your body to be able to move." ”
After eating for a while, "Yilan, you go to rest first, and when you wake up, I and Xiang'er will accompany you to have a look." ”
Thinking about the plate of newspapers brought into the study in the morning, it seemed that the king had official business to deal with, and Yilan returned to the room very obediently.
I got up early today, and I just moved again, and Yilan was already a little tired. Lian Peng brought hot water to Yilan and wiped her sweaty body, and Yilan went to bed.
After sleeping for nearly two hours, Yilan woke up and washed up again, only to see that the arrow target and bow and arrow had been placed in the open space not far from the house, and Hua Wuxiang had already practiced there.
Now is the warmest time of the day, and the winter sun is shining on your body, making people feel warm. After Yilan came out, he didn't immediately go to get a bow and arrow, but stood next to him and moved his hands and feet first, and then took off his cloak after his body was slightly warmed before coming over to choose a suitable bow and arrow.
"The true spirit of what Sister Yiyi is wearing today." Hana Goka boasted.
Zhilu Dao came to shoot arrows, naturally wore short clothes that were easy to exercise, tied his waist tightly with a belt, tied his hair in a firm and tight bun, and did not wear any jewelry, it did look different from the sick and sick in the past, listened to Hua Wuxiang's praise, and smiled at him.
"Let's try it." As he spoke, he handed the bow and arrow in his hand to Yilan.
took the bow and reversed the weight, and knew that he couldn't pull it away no matter what. Looking at the shelf next to it, I chose a thin bow that was one size smaller, and took an arrow to try.
Hua Wuxiang looked at it and pouted, "The bows I used before I was 10 years old were heavier than this." ”
Yilan blushed, but it was a question whether her body could pull the bow away, and she regretted that she wanted to shoot an arrow.
"Yilan, don't pay attention to him, whether you can kill the enemy on the battlefield depends not on the weight of the bow, but on the accuracy and mentality." A calm male voice sounded from behind, and it was the emperor pacing.
Yilan shyly saluted, but Hua Wuxiang made a grimace and took the arm guard and finger guard to help Yilan bring it. The armguards are very elaborate, pressed with a small fawn skin with dark flowers, and the ends are inlaid with silver rings, which are completely different from the tattered armguards of modern archery halls.
