Chapter 18: The Edge is Slightly Exposed

The wind whistled by, and I heard it blowing over the ring, as if time had stood still. Drawing the bow, the bowstring tightens and makes a subtle sound. The beads of sweat in his palms gathered more and more, and the slippery touch spread to every part of my skin, and I could even feel that the tassels in his hands were dancing with the wind.

Every part of the body cried out for unbearable discomfort, as tight as a bowstring.

You can't lose, these four words are in your mind from beginning to end.

Adjust your posture, and at the moment of releasing the arrow, all your strength is exhausted, just like a fish on the verge of death, leaving the dependent water, and can only resign itself to fate.

The long applause came belatingly, untying the ribbon, and the blinding light jumped on the eyelashes.

For a while, my eyes couldn't accept the stimulating sunlight, my vision was blurred, and there were many shadows.

The ring, firmly nailed to the branch of the maple tree, the ring passed through the body of the arrow, and the tassel swayed slightly.

When he came to the tree, he pulled out the arrow, and the force was just right, and the ring was not damaged in the slightest. I put it in my palm, knelt down and shouted, "Slave and maid, return to sanctity." ”

Looking up at him, he dismounted, walked over, picked up the ring, and was silent for a long time.

"Slave and maid, you will do what you say." I whispered, but I could hear everyone present.

"I underestimate you too much, there are people outside the world, and there are heavens outside the sky." Bei Yu Liangyi's beautiful eyes filled with mist seemed to contain a surging tide, and disappeared the moment I noticed it.

He helped me up and said, "I have allowed you to compete, do you have any other requirements?" ”

I looked at the cold and replied, "Slave and maid request, one person to race, one horse, ten scissors." If the slave wins against Princess Nata, please ask the emperor to grant the slave and maid a request. ”

The sighs around him rose again, mostly with disdain and incomprehension. Bei Yuliang also smiled: "What is the request?" ”

"The slave hasn't thought about it yet."

He put his hand to his lips and said, "I promise you, I'll talk about it when you're ready." ”

"Your Majesty, this is too bold!" King Yongyi was furious and glared at me. He was bearded, panting, and looked a little terrifying.

"The saint is a promise, doesn't the fourth master want the saint to lose his trust to others?" Standing with his hands in his hands, his posture was upright, "Or is the fourth master afraid that this little is better than the battle-hardened fourth master?" ”

As soon as these words came out, King Yongyi was choked for a long time, and he couldn't speak, so he had to do it.

Li Mingquan brought a good horse with a red maroon, and I jumped up, but I was a little scared in my heart. The horses are docile and seem to have been carefully tamed, and although my archery skills are rarely surpassed, my riding skills are similar to those of chess, and I can't get on the stage at all, but fortunately the good horses don't react much, otherwise I would have fallen off as before.

"Hmph,, I'll think of some moths coming out, don't talk about Princess Nata, it's this king, if you want to win, just wait for your mother's womb to be rebuilt." King Yongyi rode his horse straight into the mountains and forests.

I couldn't laugh or cry, although his words were really ugly, but he was a straightforward man, and if I could, I really wanted to make friends with him.

"The girl has offended two big people today." Li Mingquan leaned over and said helplessly: "Not only did it anger King Yongyi, but it also swept Prince Xuan's face, tsk......t"

Prince Xuan? I looked directly at Beiyu Jinchen, and his lips happened to hook up a cool arc. I don't know why he's pushing me to the forefront, because it's obvious that it's going to make everyone feel like there's some kind of connection between us, and it's not a good thing for him. I couldn't guess his thoughts, and I didn't dare to act rashly, but I felt that my situation was far more dangerous than his, even though I was a grasshopper on the same rope.

"I'm right, I will never break my word. If you win, I will be promoted to your position, and if you lose, I will clean the courtyard of Prince Xuan for one month and punish him for half a year. What do you think? Bei Yuliang also glanced at Bei Yu Jinchen, obviously it was a joke, but his tone was extremely cold. You wiped the face of the sixth brother, this punishment is not heavy, right? ”

Bei Yuliang also drove his horse into the mountains and forests, the corners of my mouth twitched uncontrollably, and I was fined half a year? That's too ruthless......

I looked at him still holding the ring in his hand, there were some slight ripples in my heart, and some fragments flashed in my mind, just for a moment, and then calmed down again.

Li Mingquan led a team of people to follow, it should be to protect the Son of Heaven, there have been many incidents in the past, large and small, perhaps because this time is the easiest time to relax your vigilance, so some unpleasant things happen every year in hunting.

Rin didn't say anything, and left the camp with his men and horses, never looking back.

I carefully spurred my horse, for fear that an old man would be unhappy and throw me to the ground, and suddenly remembered Liu Shuxin, when she was a child, her riding skills were the best in the family, it can be seen that all people have strengths and weaknesses, no one is perfect, and no one is useless. Yu Guang glanced at the light yarn on the meeting, and the appearance of Beiyu Jinchen popped up in his mind, what kind of weakness did he have under his unchanging cloud and light disguise?

Suddenly I heard an unreachable chuckle as he looked at me with burning eyes and a faint provocation.

I glared back at him, and inevitably had some anger in my heart, so I clamped the horse's belly and quickened, the wind whistling in my ears, and my hair was messy, and there was a pleasure of galloping, and after a while, until I felt that I had thrown him off, and when I reached a place where he could not see, I took the reins.

The sight in front of me is broad, and the forest is more free and comfortable than the palace.

The scenery of Nanshan is beautiful, quiet, fragrant, cool, mixed together, wonderful. The red maple in the early section is overturned into a pale green bamboo forest, and when you go away, the bamboo forest becomes a towering locust tree, and occasionally there are birds chirping, as if the birds are contaminated with the unique atmosphere of the mountain forest, and the sun is bustling down, falling on the staggered leaves, forming a mottled shadow on the ground.

As the saying goes, the cicadas call the forest more quiet, and the birdsong mountain is more secluded.

Just as he was immersed in the beauty of the scenery, a sharp arrow flew by his sideburns and hit an elk in front of him. The horse was frightened, raised its front hooves, and neighed with a long and piercing cry, startling the birds.

I secretly complained in my heart, why I haven't been frightened, this brother Ma just doesn't give face.

Sure enough, I was thrown off by the horse, rolled over and fell to the ground, covered with dead leaves and dirt, and the so-called well-trained horse had long since disappeared into the forest.

got up and patted the soil, fortunately the clothes were gray and black palace clothes, otherwise people would be embarrassed at a glance.
