Chapter 19: Archery

The sun is shining, and it is really summer, and before the day arrives, the sun hangs high in the sky, and soon I feel sweaty......

For the first time, I admired these noble children, today we learned to shoot, and we were led to the shooting range of the palace early in the morning, and I saw for the first time that the first thing in this military general's house is like the props that the military general's mansion should have, or the turf.

Connected to the stables, there are many horses for people to choose from, just like a modern riding field, a large empty space, but similar to a shooting range, with five sets of circular targets in the middle of the field, and we were led directly to the periphery of the target 100 meters. Each man had a bow and a quiver, and in the quiver some arrows and a cylindrical wrench, but I did not know what it was for, but when I saw that everyone wore it on the thumb of their right hand, they did the same.

The big guys were neatly arranged, carrying longbows on their backs, and quivers were hung on their waists, all of them seemed to be majestic and ready to show off their skills. It's just me, like a dog looking at the stars, really don't know anything about it.

Today's archery teacher is Wu Xiaoye, when he appeared wearing a white mask and wearing a black robe, I thought I was dazzled, and a man of the same style as Wu Xiaoye appeared, but he avoided everyone to look at me, and when he walked in front of me, he called me softly in a voice that only I could hear, Sister Naiyi...... I knew that I thought too much, and in this world, only Hei Ye and him were black and white......

"Everyone wear a jade chise, ten feather arrows per person, a total of ten races, the farthest one wins, and the one who wins the most ten games can get a high-grade jade chisel in my hand!"

I glanced at the wrench shown by Wu Xiaoye, who was riding on a horse not far away, it turned out that this thing was not called a wrench in ancient times, it was called a jade chise, and it was separated by a distance, I couldn't see the difference between the jade chime and the one in my hand, but since Wu Xiaoye could take it out as a prize for these royal nobles, it was estimated that it was also a rare rarity.

The county lord seemed to be very confident, glanced at Wu Xiaoye, and was the first to draw his bow and shoot out, and he directly exceeded the target in front of him by a long distance.

At this time, I realized what it means to shoot far to win, it turns out that this shot is not the target, but the distance.

But Wu Xiaoye didn't seem to finish speaking, he coughed a few times with a "click...... and said "slow down ......" and rode to pick up the arrows of the county lord, and then said: "The county lord, the three kings, and the four kings, after ten long shots, if any of the three of you wins, you must play three more games, the target shooting competition, the reason is very simple, you are older." ”

I just wanted to say that if this is really a full shooting competition, then we children must not die, although it seems that I really have no chance of winning, but since it is a competition, it is naturally fair.

The little prince Xuan originally wanted to shout that it was unfair, but when he heard Master Wu's words, he was stunned and held back his words. At this moment, his face was flushed, and he didn't know if he was sunburned, or if he was brewing to shoot super far, so he could win the wrench.

It's still the starting point of the county lord, and the distance is not much different from just now, it seems to be farther away. Then the third prince of Jue also shot out, slightly farther than the county lord, and the fourth prince of Najun and the fifth prince of Yue shot out together, it is obvious that the fourth prince of Jun is much farther than the fifth prince of Yue, although he also won the county lord, but it is not as good as the third prince of Jue, and the little prince of Xuan, needless to say, has an unbeatable challenge momentum, but it is not as good as the fifth prince of Yue, and he has not even crossed the 100-meter target line.

I'm the only one left, but this time I'm not possessed by Xiao Naiyi, and I can't even pull the bow line...... So, the first scene was full of laughter from everyone, although only the old man leaned forward and leaned back with a smile, but I knew that the others were holding back their laughter, just to give me face and not want me to be embarrassed and embarrassed......

"Hahaha...... There are still such stupid people...... Hahaha...... "Then the old man laughed and just came out to comment."

Wu Xiaoye seemed to see that I was indeed not pretending, so he got off the horse, half-squatted for me to guide, he asked me to take a closer look at the jade, there was a horizontal concave line on one side, he instructed me to turn the wrench concave line to the inside, take the concave line to buckle the bowstring, and then press the thumb with the index finger and middle finger, pull the string backwards hard, and then release the ......

Yo, the grades are not bad, much better than that little one! He even rushed past the target.

The guy was really not convinced, and began to behave again: "No, don't count, Master, you assisted Naichi in cheating, don't count......"

I dream of rolling my eyes, as for it? Even if I don't cheat, won't I be able to get the first place with your grades?

Wu Xiaoye squinted and glanced at him, and the little guy immediately shut up, and I didn't want to offend this ancestor openly, so I said to Wu Xiaoye: "Bai Jiaotou, it's okay, my results are really unfair and can be erased." ”

Wu Xiaoye successively announced: "First round: King Jue wins. ”

After greeting me softly today, Master Wu shook his head secretly at me when he saw me, with an obvious expression, telling me to pretend that I didn't know each other like him.

The princes and princesses called him "the head of the White Sect" at that time, and I also saluted him, only the old man called him master, presumably his apprentice. But then I thought about it for a long time, even if he was a teacher for these imperial relatives, shouldn't he be called Wu Jiaotou? How can it be a white sect leader? Finally, I suddenly remembered the black master and his black mask. Could it be that in front of outsiders, he is called Bai Ye? I suddenly felt that they were just as intelligent as their masters...... I think I need to ask them what the hell is going on......

In the second round, it was still the third prince Jue's victory, and I finally helped him at the bottom as he wished.

In the next two rounds, the third prince Jue was still far ahead...... Until the fourth and fifth rounds, the county lord won a championship, but I look at the posture, obviously the third let her, and the fourth always lost after the third, even if these two times are the same, I suddenly feel that this person is definitely not simple, he obviously does not want others to see his strength, can control the distance in his hands, this archery is definitely the most powerful among us, but he doesn't seem to want to show his head, and his face is not different, he has always been polite but refuses to be thousands of miles away......

Later, in the fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth rounds, I was observing him, and it was indeed as I thought, he was definitely not simple, in the ninth round, it seemed that I was peeping at him, after the third prince of Jue surpassed the arrow of the county lord of Chime, he suddenly shot an arrow, which actually bruised his cheeks, and even the skin of his hands was ground out of blood...... And the scissors didn't even go through the target line.

Wu Xiaoye hurriedly went over, looked at his injury, and only listened to him: "The head of the Bai Sect is frightened, and the disciple is fine, but I am afraid that I will not be able to participate in the last game and the extra game." ”

Wu Xiaoye told him to go back to treat the wound first: "The event doesn't matter, if there is a scar on this face, it will ruin this handsome face......"

Listening to this, how can there be a passion, should this Wu Xiaoye really be a ...... A man with a habit of breaking sleeves, right?

The result doesn't need to be said again, naturally the county lord of Naqi got the jade hammer, although I don't believe that with Wu Xiaoye's intelligent eyes, I can't see that someone deliberately didn't go all out, but his attitude of turning a blind eye is obviously because he doesn't want to cause more trouble.

The third prince of Najue even deliberately shot a few times in the extra game, but he only won the county lord of Nachime twice in three games, so he naturally hoped that the county lord of Nachio would win. I know this, a gentleman is naturally willing to do anything to win a smile for a beauty. It's just, they're like this, is it appropriate? A pair of cousins......

My grades and the old man's grades are naturally the worst, and the old man seems to be very excited, and it is estimated that he is finally no longer at the bottom, so he is in a very happy mood. But I don't understand, what's the difference between a first-to-last and second-to-last? Aren't they all bad students?

Wu Xiaoye naturally thought the same way, and after the other princes and the county lord of Qi left, he directly opened his mouth to hit him: "Xiaoxuan, are you very happy?" ”

The stupid son of the landlord's family couldn't hear the mockery inside, and replied to Wu Xiaoye: "That's nature." Master, aren't you happy? ”

Hehe...... Your master is afraid that he wants to shoot you with an arrow.

I only heard Master Wu say coldly: "I'm not happy." ”

"Why is that? The disciple is not the last, why is the master unhappy? ”

You're not stupid, are you? Child?

"Why do you count only from the back and not from the front? How many people usually attend classes, and how many are you? Is there progress? “

Hahaha...... Wu Xiaoye is really still gentle and kind, this level of speech, but a martial arts leader, isn't he condescending? If I had been the teacher when I was a child, I would have been kicked out of the classroom long ago, and I would have been punished for thinking for myself! Wu Xiaoye can still say this, it can be seen that this stupid apprentice has already honed it for him.

"Master......" The little guy actually lied to Master Wu, "You haven't seen Xuan'er for a long time, haven't you ever thought about Xuan'er after going out for so long?" ”

Master Wu softened instantly, as if touching my head, he actually touched this guy's head: "Naturally, I want to." But according to the teacher, you didn't follow the teacher's orders and practice hard after the teacher left. ”

"Master, you're wrong." As soon as the guy raised his head, he directly shook off Xiao Ye's hand Wu, as well-behaved as a dog, "Xuan'er has worked hard, but Xuan'er really doesn't have the talent in this area, and she doesn't gallop like Master and Brother Chen......"

"Do you think that your brother Chen was born to be a teacher?" Master Wu gave the little guy a nose scrape, "As a teacher, you and your brother Chen have practiced so diligently." ”

The little guy pouted, just like a teenager of this age, without his usual swagger, in front of this Wu Xiaoye, he was still a little cute.

Master Wu asked him to leave first to rest for a while and then go to dinner, and asked me to stay and have something to say to me, but before leaving, the little guy even fought with me for a long time, calling me: "Hey, don't you want to learn some exclusive tricks from my master?" ”

I was depressed and shouted back directly: "It was your master who told me to stay, not me to stay." ”

"Look! The tail is exposed again, and it is disrespectful to this prince again! ”

I instantly have a few black lines on my head, why don't I shoot you to death!

"I was wrong."

"Apologies!"

I'm so blind that I think he's cute!

"I'm sorry, Xiao Wangye, the little girl lost a little miserably today, she was in a bad mood, and she was angry with you for no reason, it's the little girl!"

"Humph!" The little guy's neck was raised, and he looked like a villain, and finally after Master Wu assured that it was not a matter of teaching martial arts, he left without looking back with a proud face.

I glared at Master Wu extremely angrily, he was fine, and he was still squinting and laughing at me because of what his apprentice was doing to me.

I rolled my eyes fiercely and gestured to leave: "You want to be fine, I'm leaving,"

He quickly leaned over and grabbed my arm, "Don't be angry. Ha ha...... However, he doesn't have any bad intentions, just a bad mouth. ”

I squinted at him: "Your apprentice, naturally everything is good." ”

"That won't be." He shook his hand, "Naturally, he is not as good as Naiyi's sister." However, how can you even forget archery. ”

That's what I asked. How do I know? This Nai Yi didn't forget the piano skills, but forgot the archery skills, and wanted to have another shocking moment, but was naked and was released a pigeon, what can I do with her?

"I don't know. When I woke up that time, I forgot a lot of things. ”

Wu Xiaoye's eyes were a little confused, but he quickly covered it up, and he said, "It's okay, I'll teach you slowly in the future." What else have you forgotten? ”

It's too much, it's not a matter of forgetting, it's a problem that I'm not Naichi at all. I don't know how to talk to Master Wu, in fact, Naichi and I are not alone at all, but I think if I say it, he must think I'm crazy, not forget......

I could only continue to hide it from him: "I don't know, I forgot a lot." Occasionally, I can remember something, but it doesn't seem to be all right, and I can't write, although I can recognize it, and I have forgotten everything else. Oh, except for Jean. ”

I really haven't forgotten this. This is Naichi-chan's body manipulating my mind.

Master Wu pondered for a moment and said to me, "Okay, I know." Go and rest first, and let me think about it. ”

At this time, the sun was shining on the top of my head, I was already too hot to do it, I couldn't wait to disappear in this open space where there was not even a book, I heard Wu Xiaoye say this, and immediately trotted away, although there was still some way back to my lounge, but as long as I ran through this open space, there was the occasional breeze and gloom of the small tree, at this time, I really missed being able to be picked up by someone at once, I didn't have to walk by myself, and I could quickly reach the destination, it was not too comfortable!

When I returned to my bedroom to "show the dew of the small building", the little peach and a maid were happily talking together, seeing me come back, hurriedly ran towards me, I was sweating because of running, immediately into her eyes, the little peach was just about to speak, only to see the maid actually opened the mouth first: "Miss, the water is ready, please bathe." ”

…… I really am......

…… Really......

Little Peach pulled me into the house, and then spoke to me happily: "The eldest prince is really thoughtful, the young lady's body has been soaked with sweat, just washed and changed, the clothes that the eldest prince sent to the young lady today, but they are very beautiful......"

Can I disagree?

Why do I feel so miserable? But it's sticky, but I don't want to be led by the nose by that guy, this long, hot summer...... When is the head?

I asked Momoko with a bitter face, "Shouldn't he ask for this every day in the future?" ”

Little Peach smiled very happily: "How good is this, Miss is here to be regarded as a caring person who can think about Miss." ”

I felt that Little Peach definitely wanted to praise him again, so I quickly stopped her: "Yes." I see, take a shower. ”

Soaking in the pool, I really think it's a great luxury and waste, I soak in such a big pool alone, I have to let people drain and change the water every day, it's not too hard.

I called out to the little maid behind me and asked her, "Are you the maids beside the eldest prince?" ”

The little maid shook her head: "Miss Hui, no, the slave maid is only a transferr, and she is not qualified to enter the courtyard of the eldest prince." ”

Transfer? What does that mean?

Little Peach saw my doubts and whispered in my ear: "Miss, it's the back room in the house, which room is not enough people, you can deploy it from the transfer room at any time." ”

I suddenly realized, and asked the maid again: "I see that there were a lot of people who came to change the water yesterday, are they all from the workshop?" ”

"Yes, Miss."

"How many people?"

"This slave has not been counted, and there are still more than a hundred people, and some of them have been seconded for a long time. According to the housekeeper, there may be more than 200 people in total. ”

Unthinkable! There are so many people in this small workshop, so how many people are added to these official slaves in the courtyards?

I couldn't help but shake my head, what a landowner! is a serious waste of human resources, raising hundreds of people just to serve a dozen people, even a prince's mansion, so how many people do you have to keep in captivity in this palace!
