Chapter 318
"Don't worry, it'll be fine right away."
After speaking, the long arrow came menacing with the momentum of thousands of troops and horses, went straight to the bull's-eye, and nailed to the red heart with a buzzing sound.
Everyone's eyes widened, and they couldn't believe that their big mouths could fit a salted duck egg.
The fourth arrow split straight through the shaft of the first arrow, perfectly splitting the first arrow into a flower shape that split from the middle and scattered, and the position of the fourth arrow was exactly the same as that of the first arrow.
This...... Is this just a hundred steps through Yang?!
Before they could react, they watched as the fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth arrows flashed past their eyes in succession.
Several long lines were directly connected in the air, and everyone only felt that there were flashes of light in front of them, and Gu Xici's movements were so fast that they couldn't see how the arrow was shot clearly.
When the rain of arrows stopped, everything instantly returned to calm, and there was only one arrow stuck in Gu Xici's grass target, and in addition, the ground was scattered with the remains of arrows that had been split by the latter arrow.
Gu Xici threw the bow and arrow weighing dozens of pounds in his hand to the side and stretched his arm: "Let people make the bow lighter in the future, it's really hard to hold, my shoulders are sore." ”
Chu Xun's mouth opened slightly, and the fan in his hand fell directly to the ground with a click, and the audience was silent.
Only Chu Jin was surprised and pinched her somewhat sore shoulders for Gu Xici.
"What about apples? Didn't you prepare? Gu Xi looked at Chu Xun, who had not yet come back to his senses, and reminded him.
The guards stepped back one after another, their faces full of horror, who would dare to do this?
Now His Royal Highness King Cheng has lost, and he has practiced with apples for His Royal Highness King Zhao, but His Royal Highness King Zhao is sick, and the bow and arrow are not long-eyed, in case he hurts something that should not be hurt......
"The huge palace can't even take out an apple?" Gu Xici pretended to be puzzled, and Chu Jin next to him had a good look on his face.
If this beauty wasn't trying to embarrass herself, Chu Xunding would have surrendered to it a long time ago, but now it's .......
The guards around him were also a little embarrassed: "Huh...... This well...... "Is it true that King Cheng wants to practice for King Zhao with an apple?"
"If the prince is worried, then it's better if I haven't said it!" Gu Xici took advance as retreat, his eyes were full of disdain, as if he was laughing at him for being timid and afraid.
Chu Xun snorted coldly, raised his foot and walked directly in front of the target, kicked the grass target away, and scolded: "A group of rice buckets with no eyes!" Why don't you go find an apple! ”
Even if he disfigured and killed the sick man of the fifth child today, he must not lose face in front of this woman!
He was even more embarrassed that he would lose to a soft and weak petite woman in archery, but as for Chu Jin's appearance of falling down as soon as the wind blew, he was not worried. Since he was a child, he had never seen this medicine jar shoot arrows, and how could a person who was afraid of heat stroke even if he stood in the sun for a while be able to pull that heavy bow and arrow?
Chu Jin was very embarrassed to look at the bow that the guards sent up and weighed dozens of catties, subconsciously stepped back, pulled the corner of Gu Xici's clothes and said, "Forget it, I have never taken these things......"
Chu Xun crossed his waist and couldn't help but look up to the sky and laugh, no matter how he said it, he knew that this waste couldn't be pulled up at all!
I didn't want to, but I suddenly heard a crisp voice say: "It's okay, it's very simple, I'll teach you as soon as I teach you!" ”
Gu Xici held the bow in one hand, and didn't care about the etiquette of whether men and women gave or not, rolled up his sleeves, stood behind the man, and wrapped around his excessively thin and slender waist, revealing half of his snow-white wrist, which was as white as snow in the sun, which was very tempting.
But because of the height difference between the two, she had to turn around to see the target in front of her, and as soon as she made contact, she was frozen by the slightly cool body temperature, followed by the familiar agarwood fragrance lingering around her.
If she hadn't seen Chu Jin, she would never have believed that there would be a man in the world whose skin could be so soft, even better than hers.
Gu Xici smiled lightly: "Do as I say, put your hand on my hand." ”
"Fifth brother! You are the prince of the great Chu Kingdom, how can you ask a woman to teach you archery? Chu Xun had a big apple on his head, looking quite funny, no longer his usual elegance, but like a clown in a circus.
Gu Xici couldn't help but laugh when he saw him like this.
But at this time, where does King Cheng have time to take care of his image, now the posture of these two people is clearly coming to bully him, so he is anxious on the spot, standing in the distance and waving to the two!
Chu Jin was stunned when he heard this, it looked innocent and pitiful, the Great Chu Kingdom was originally a country where men were superior to women, the country was respected by the king, the family was valued by the husband, and women were more like dependents in the hands of men.
As a prince, Chu Jin is naturally the person in power in this powerful society, and he is also at the highest level, how can he let a woman dictate to him?
Chu Xun saw that Chu Jin put down his hand, and before he had time to be happy, he saw Chu Jin suddenly smile shyly, raised his eyes to look at Gu Xici, and his eyes were full of affection: "It's okay, Ci'er will be my princess in the future, and husband and wife don't care about this, right?" ”
Gu Xici twitched the corners of his mouth in embarrassment, is this King Zhao really useless as rumored by the outside world? Why did she think he would pull himself into the water with a few words? How is this going to be for her? If he responds, it is tantamount to acknowledging the word husband and wife in his words. But if you avoid answering, the other party is the prince after all, and it's not a matter to be hung like this by yourself!
"Resignation?"
The pair of crystal clear purple eyes always stared at her gently, her face was clearly reflected in the purple light and shadow, and the smile on the corner of her lips was enough to capture the heart of any woman, but Gu Xici felt that this was clearly a smile with bad intentions, waiting to see a good show.
She cleared her throat: "Wait a while, Chengwang should be tired of standing, do as I say!" ”
"That's right, that's right! Or the little beauty understands me, this big sun, only you are the most distressed by this king! Chu Xun immediately saw the stitches, and his peach blossom eyes were full of charm, trying to reverse Gu Xici's thoughts. Thinking of him, the first prodigal son among the flowers in the Great Chu Kingdom, handsome and dashing, how could anyone refuse him, "Little beauty, look how vicious this sun is, my skin is red!" ”
Gu Xici raised his head and glanced at the golden sunlight in the sky, and nodded approvingly: "That's true." ”
Chu Xun immediately hit the snake with a stick: "So ......"
"So fight quickly, die early and overlive, shoot an arrow, and leave quickly."
Chu Jin nodded, very cooperative and completely according to Gu Xici's instructions to put the posture in place, although it still looked a little clumsy, but it was better to be well-behaved and obedient, he learned from Gu Xici's appearance, opened one eye and closed one eye, looked at the arrow target in the distance, couldn't help frowning, and called: "Xiao Qi, you ...... Ahem...... You stand up, I'll do it. ”
What a ghost! How do you look like this, how unreliable!
Gu Xici let go and stood aside, nodded in appreciation: "Not bad, that's it, and then pull the strings apart!" With that, she stood behind Chu Jin again.
The two of them held hands together, and the bow and arrow were stretched to the maximum under the joint efforts of the two, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that the entire bow was almost pulled away by Gu Xici, and Chu Jin was just posing.
Draw your bow and aim it in front of you, and close one eye—
Although the direction of the arrow was only the apple on the top of his head, Chu Xun still felt that the arrow was shooting towards his heart. The most poisonous woman's heart in the world! In this posture, if he misses a little, he may even lose his life!
This Miss Gu has successfully made Chu Xun have a strong interest, and he has also heard rumors that the third lady is crazy and stupid for more than ten years, including those stupid things that he has done for the prince for many years, and they have been rumored.
I never thought that this so-called fool would look like this when he appeared in front of him. Not only is there no stupidity, but it is also very eccentric.
The two of them set up a posture, and they were about to let go of their hands in the direction, when Gu Xici suddenly felt that his wrist moved, and the arrow shot straight towards Chu Xun.
The arrow from the string was about to fly towards Chu Xun, Chu Xun's eyes widened, and he didn't know for a moment whether to dodge or stand in place.
Gu Xici didn't expect that she would miss at this critical moment, and before she could step forward to stop it, the arrow seemed to lack stamina, turned sharply, and was slanted into the grass in front of Chu Xun.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
King Cheng shook the apple, and immediately let out a long breath, with a slightly pale face, but he returned to his graceful appearance, and the gaudy paper fan began to hula and fan again: "Okay, okay, now this arrow has also been shot." The fifth brother said a long time ago that he didn't like this, but the little beauty should not be too reluctant. ”
There was an indescribable complication in her cold eyes, and she was obviously planning to shoot at Chu Xun's shoulder just now to teach him a small lesson.
But who knew that his wrist would be bent, and what made Gu Xici feel even more strange was that that the person could control the direction of the arrow at the moment when he accidentally touched his wrist, but the seemingly dangerous situation had long been expected by that person.
And at that time, in addition to himself, the only one who could touch this bow and arrow was King Zhao.
Gu Xici raised his head suddenly, and as expected, it was the pair of clean and bright eyes, and he couldn't see anything hidden, as if the arrow just now was really just an accident, but was it really an accident?
Chu Jin looked at Gu Xici and smiled at her with some apologies: "I'm sorry, is Ci'er blaming me for missing a shot?" ”
Gu Xici shook his head: "How come, your performance just now is beyond my imagination." ”
She stared at this peerless face closely, trying to see some clues from his face, but in the end she found nothing.
It seems that every time he faces Chu Jin, Gu Xici only has to eat deflated. It's obviously too weird to be weird, but I can't see the slightest problem in that person.
Such a passive feeling made Gu Xici very uncomfortable, and she never did anything she was not sure of. Only by controlling the overall situation can Gu Xici feel at ease. But Chu Jin's intrusion made her have to accept many unplanned things, and what made her even more uneasy was that she couldn't see through or guess this man at all.
Suddenly the wind blew, and Chu Jin, who was still smiling lightly, couldn't help coughing violently again, such a weak body couldn't make people disgusted at all, except for pity, it was the admiration for the beauty who was weak and delicate.
When everyone was attracted by Chu Jin's beauty, his eyes always stayed on the smart woman in front of him. The archery skills are amazing, and the careful thinking of the eyes must be reciprocated, and how many surprises his princess still hides does not let him know.
"Since the beauty is not yet fun, why don't you come and teach?" Chu Xun took off the apple on his head, and immediately leaned over and smiled, "This king is different from the fifth child, he grew up playing with these things since he was a child, and he can be said to be proficient in swords, guns, swords, and halberds." ”
Gu Xici didn't even look at him, patted his shoulder and said, "I'm sleepy and don't want to play anymore." ”
The guards looked at each other, they had never seen a woman so bold and so arrogant in front of the prince. The last time he was so self-righteous was the Oiran from Jiangnan, who felt deeply favored and lost his temper with His Royal Highness King Cheng in front of everyone, and later even asked His Royal Highness King Cheng to marry her into the door.
The day after the incident, the person seemed to disappear and never reappeared.
Since that incident, all the women who have ghosts in their hearts for King Cheng have restrained a lot, this kind of little trick of wanting to catch and indulge is not something that ordinary people can afford, could it be that the third lady of the Gu family in front of her really looks like trying it herself?
"And what if I have to?" Chu Xun shook the paper fan in his hand gently, his eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and he obviously had a flirtatious smile on his face, but the tone of his speech made people shudder.
But for a long time, no one dared to speak to her in such an commanding tone, and Gu Xici couldn't help but squint when the sun shone on it. In the past, she was so obedient that in the end, she was used and betrayed by the organization, and she counted the money for them.
Xiu eyebrows raised slightly, she smiled innocently, but her tone was not allowed to be refuted: "Then what if I am biased?" ”
The air was filled with the smell of saber rattling, and the people around him unconsciously gasped.
During the confrontation between the two, suddenly a plain hand pulled the corner of Gu Xici's clothes, turned his head to look, and saw Chu Jin's eyebrows frowning slightly, the corners of his good-looking mouth glanced down, and said aggrievedly, "Ci'er, my foot seems to really hurt ......"
His body was weak, and before Gu Xici could react, the whole person completely pressed the gravity on Gu Xici. Gu Xici instinctively reached out to help, but he didn't want Chu Jin to look much heavier than him, one could not stand steadily, and the two of them fell into the grass next to them on top of each other again.
"Ah!!h
"Hiss......"
The two gasped at the same time, Gu Xici couldn't help but widen his eyes, looking at Chu Jin lying on top of him, but there was nothing he could do.
King Cheng, who was standing on the side, was so angry that his hands trembled, and he pointed at them and gritted his teeth: "You...... You guys...... All right! ”
No wonder King Cheng was so angry, the two who fell on the grass at this moment didn't know how they fell, Chu Jin's lips were tightly pressed against Gu Xici's lips.
Gu Xici's pupils contracted, and the hand that was pressed was tightly clenched into a fist!
And Chu Jin, who was pressing on her, was also stunned, as if he hadn't understood what had happened between the two, his dark purple pupils were full of innocence, making it impossible to escape.
In this world, some people are obviously not glamorous and enchanting, nor are they as pure as water, but they can be both beautiful, pure and desired, as if they are fairies in the forest, or krakens on the reef, beautiful and unconscious, attracting the world to chase after her, but she is still outside the world.
Chu Jin is such a goblin.
"Dare to see it! Eyes don't want it, isn't it! Close all your dog's eyes to this king! ”
Chu Xun's loud scolding immediately frightened everyone and didn't dare to look at it again, and at the same time, it also made Gu Xici look away in a panic, but his ears were unnaturally red. She turned her face sideways and stretched out her hand to push the person on her body, and her feet also struggled to get up, but she accidentally kicked Chu Jin's injured foot, and immediately heard her muffled gasp.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, are you okay?"
Gu Xici looked at Chu Jin in a panic, but he didn't want to directly meet a pair of sparkling eyes: "Ci'er, you kicked me, but you have to be responsible for me!" ”
Gu Xici's eyes widened, he just wanted to refute, but he didn't want the corners of Chu Jin's mouth to hook, and then said: "But if I kiss you, I will be responsible for you in this life, Princess Zhao!" ”
