Chapter 73: Competition
Xu Buyi smiled, "I heard that there is a prince in Kyoto, who is proficient in gambling, horse racing, and drinking, but is it true?" ”
"If I'm not mistaken, Brother Li should be talking about Prince Jin, but those are all rumors, Brother Li shouldn't be gullible." As soon as the third prince said this, Qi Jingyun instantly became the focus of everyone.
"I wonder if King Jin has the courage to fight?" Su Buyi looked at Qi Jingyun provocatively, waiting for him to speak.
Qi Jingyun smiled chic and said politely: "How come, I hope this benevolent brother won't play tricks when the time comes." ”
"Hahaha, it's interesting and interesting, today's banquet is finally not as boring as before." The third prince has a somewhat arrogant personality, and he likes to watch people fight the most, and it is best to fight for his head and blood.
Qiao Mingyue dragged Qi Jingyun's hand worriedly, Qiao Mingyue had no doubts about his ability, but she was afraid that the opponent would play a trick.
Qi Jingyun turned his head and looked at her gently, and comforted: "It's okay, no matter how I say it, I am also a former demon king of the mixed world, and I won't embarrass my lady no matter what." ”
"I believe in you." Qiao Mingyue calmed down in her heart when she heard his words, took the initiative to hold his hand, and followed the three princes and his party towards the back mountain.
Today's people are all people with heads and faces, and they have to pay attention to etiquette and posture when they walk, Qiao Mingyue took Qi Jingyun's hand and walked behind, and after a while, he saw the back mountain that the third prince said.
It is said that it is a back mountain, but it is actually his private garden, and to make it clear, it is a small hill planted with trees and some pheasants and hares.
Su Buyi is also a person who has been trained in the deep mountains, and he can still tell whether it is true or false, and he can't help laughing: "I didn't expect the three princes to use this small garden to bluff people, and I don't know if this mountain is guarded by a domestic cat or a tiger."
The third prince's temper is good today, if it were in normal times, he would have been so anxious that he would have jumped to his feet, but now he just smiled helplessly, "No way, I'm just a little prince, and I really can't find a big forest in Kyoto City." As for the ones raised here, they are all pheasants and hares, as well as a few four-like and leopards, all of which are trapped beasts in cages, as for whether you can meet them, it depends on your luck. ”
"Since there's nothing in the woods, why don't we do something special." Xu Buyi smiled meaningfully, and his eyes fell on Qi Jingyun and Qiao Mingyue from time to time.
Qi Jingyun naturally wouldn't be afraid of him, and asked, "This king will accompany him to the end, but I don't know how this benevolent brother wants to play?"
Xu Buyi applauded and said, "Okay, I really didn't choose the wrong person. I don't know if you've ever shot an apple with an arrow before, but it's windy today, and someone needs help to fix the apple on your head, what does King Jin think? ”
"Whatever you want." Qi Jingyun subconsciously grabbed Qiao Mingyue's hand and looked at him vigilantly.
Xu Buyi stared at the hands of the two of them clasped tightly, and smiled coldly, "Why don't you let Princess Jin help with this?" The princess won't be unhappy. ”
The wind on the back mountain is stronger than what I felt in the courtyard before, and if the arrow doesn't have a certain strength at the moment it comes off, it's basically the end of the miss, and the unlucky one must be the one with the apple. Xu Buyi asked Qiao Mingyue to help with this, obviously angering Qi Jingyun.
Qi Jingyun obviously liked this very much, Qiao Mingyue could feel the trembling of his fingertips, and hurriedly clenched his hand, and said first: "The prince will play in person, even if he doesn't say it, this palace will not give this opportunity to others." As she spoke, she turned her head to look at Qi Jingyun, not knowing whether she was telling others or telling him, "I believe that the prince will not let me have anything to do." ”
Qi Jingyun's pupils trembled slightly, her palms were sweaty for some reason, her eyes were locked on Qiao Mingyue, the people around her seemed to have become decorations to him at this moment, she believed in herself, Qi Jingyun kept repeating this sentence in her heart.
"The two are really a couple, and Li really admires them." Xu Buyi smiled, turned around and picked up the bow and arrow that had been prepared, and nodded towards Qiao Mingyue, "Princess, please." ”
"This king will come first." Qi Jingyun came back to his senses, strode forward to pick up the bow and arrow, pulled Qiao Mingyue to the big tree ten meters away, personally put the apple prepared by the next person on her head, and said secretly: "Don't worry, lady, my archery skills are very accurate."
Qiao Mingyue smiled and said calmly: "Don't be nervous, I have the most confidence in my man."
"Thank you for your love." Qi Jingyun helped her put the apple, lowered his head and put a kiss on her forehead, turned around and walked back to where he started.
Except for the Third Prince and Su Buyi, the hearts of the surrounding spectators were all in their throats, and they didn't dare to take a breath, and only the whistling wind was left around.
Qi Jingyun took out an arrow and hit the bow, twisted two circles of bowstrings, aimed at the bright red apple, and shot the arrow without hesitation.
Under the pressure of the bowstring's rotation, the arrow burst through the air, leaving a sound in the wind that cut through the air, hitting the apple directly in the center.
There was a moment of silence in the crowd, followed by thunderous applause, "Well, you're a member of my royal family." The third prince applauded and looked at Qi Jingyun with a smile.
Qi Jingyun didn't have time to pay attention to them at this time, put down the bow and arrow, and hurriedly ran to Qiao Mingyue's side to check, "Is the lady okay?" ”
Qiao Mingyue dragged the arrow and took the apple down, shaking her head, "It's okay." ”
Well, in fact, she still had a little bit of a moment of panic when the arrow came just now, but that was a normal psychological reaction, can she say? Of course not. What if it destroys Qi Jingyun's self-confidence.
"You go back first, it's not safe to stand here." Qiao Mingyue handed the apple to his subordinates and pushed Qi Jingyun to let him leave.
Xu Buyi, who was on the other side, had already put the arrow on the bow, and he might get rid of it at any time.
Qi Jingyun didn't say anything, he retreated silently, and as soon as he was halfway there, Xu Buyi's arrow shot out and came straight towards Qiao Mingyue.
Qiao Mingyue looked at the arrow and felt a little uneasy, her hand subconsciously buckled the tree behind her, and in the next second, the arrow came to her head.
Unlike Qi Jingyun, this arrow did not hit the apple, but hit between the hair and the apple, Qiao Mingyue's hair was shaved off by the arrow, and the hairpin was also knocked down and fell to the ground, and the hair was scattered in an instant.
"I'm really sorry, my hand shook when I just shot, the princess is fine." Xu Buyi put the bow aside and looked at Qi Jingyun defiantly.
The arrow just now was obviously deliberately shot crooked, and what he wanted was to provoke Qi Jingyun.
