Chapter 121: Selection
"Xiaoling, if you don't want to go, you won't go, don't care what others say." Huo Yun whispered to her.
Ling Ling's gaze swept over the faces of those officials one by one, a smile rose on her cold and beautiful face, she walked up to Shangguan Qiang'er and said in a voice that everyone could hear,
"It's hard to be gracious, since the mother has to compete with the minister, the minister agrees,"
She looked at Siqing in Shangguan Qiang'er's position, then at Yun Wan behind Murong Xue, and said,
"Presumably everyone is tired of the same way of playing, why don't we change to a new way of playing?"
The night breeze blew a few strands of green silk from her, and she looked at Shangguan Qiang'er, her eyes were shining, beautiful and confident.
"I don't know how City Lord Ling wants to compare?"
Shangguan Qiang'er asked with a little disdain.
Ling Ling walked over to the table in the middle of the field. Pick up an apple,
"Why don't we find a man and put an apple on his head, and whoever shoots the apple down first will win, how about it?"
The surrounding spectators gasped, and many of them also had excitement flashing in their eyes after listening to Ling Ling's suggestion, this gameplay was indeed dangerous, but it was really exciting!
Shangguan Qiang'er didn't expect Ling Ling to say this method, but she was still very sure of her archery skills, she smiled in her heart, since she took the initiative to find death, don't blame her subordinates for being ruthless, she nodded slightly,
"Since the method is determined by the Lord of Ling City, then this palace will make its own decision to determine the rewards and punishments.
She looked at Ling Ling with a smile in her eyes, looking at Ling Ling with a look of "you are dead",
"The loser has to kneel down to the other party and draw a king on his face, what does the Ling City Lord think?"
As soon as Shangguan Qiang'er's words came out, the surrounding discussion was louder, no matter who wins or loses between them, this punishment will inevitably make one party lose face, thinking that Shangguan Qiang'er must be very sure, otherwise she wouldn't have played so much, everyone looked at Ling Ling, who was calm and calm on the side, and saw her lowering her eyes and wiping the apple in her hand, the corners of her mouth raised, and the clear and delicate voice floated into everyone's ears,
"Just according to what the mother said."
"Lord Wang, has Miss Ling ever learned archery?"
Qingliu, who was watching the play on the side, couldn't hold back the curiosity in his heart. Leaned into Bai Feiye's ear and whispered.
Qingfeng's face changed suddenly, and he immediately pushed Qingliu with his elbow, signaling him to shut up, Qingliu realized that he didn't speak through his brain, and covered his mouth in annoyance.
Bai Feiye didn't speak, his starry eyes narrowed slightly, he looked at Ling Ling lightly, thinking about what Ling Ling had just said, his flawless handsome face seemed to be smiling, archery, she really hadn't learned it.
The bonfire lit up the night, Ling Ling and Shangguan Qiang'er stood side by side in the center of the field, Shangguan Qiang'er was the first to pick people, her eyes swept over the people around her one by one, and when she was about to call people's names, she only heard Ling Ling whispering beside her,
"Concubine Qiang, the minister thinks that the little palace maid next to Niangniang is very suitable, she seems to trust Niangniang very much, and she will definitely cooperate with Niangniang for a while."
The smile on her face was meaningful, Shangguan Qiang'er rolled her eyes lightly, she didn't want to pay attention to Ling Ling's words, she was still ready to call the others, Ling Ling added,
"Could it be that Niangniang is afraid that she will not be able to use her archery skills at home, and she will shoot her favorite little palace maid to death with one arrow, and she feels uncomfortable?"
"Who said that Hongu archery is not good?"
As Ling Ling expected, her words stimulated Shangguan Qiang'er, only to see her raise her hand and point at Siqing in the direction of her seat,
"Siqing, you come."
Siqing's eyes widened, looking at Shangguan Qiang'er in disbelief, although she knew that Shangguan Qiang'er's archery skills were good, but let her go to the top of the apple, in case of any accident, wouldn't she die here?
Seeing that Siqing was stunned in place, Shangguan Qiang'er said in an ordered tone, "Come here!" ”
Siqing came back to her senses and saw that everyone was waiting for her reaction, so she had no choice but to muster up the courage to step forward, walk to the middle of the field, and put the apple on her head.
Shangguan Qiang'er looked at Ling Ling beside her with displeasure on her face,
"This palace has already called people according to the meaning of the Ling City Lord, so who does the Ling City Lord want to call?"
The corners of Ling Ling's mouth lifted slightly, "Why don't you just call another palace maid like Niangniang?" ”
Shangguan Qiang'er originally wanted to stop Ling Ling and let her call someone from the Dragon Cloud Gate. Without thinking about it, Ling Ling didn't wait for her to speak, so he turned to Bai Yixiu, Murong Xue's direction, raised his hand and saluted,
"I don't know, can I ask Aunt Yunwan behind Xue Guifei to come up and top the apple for me?"
Listening to her words, Shangguan Qiang'er suddenly had some schadenfreude in her heart, who she chose was not good, but she chose Murong Xue's palace maid, who in the whole court did not know that Murong Xue was Bai Yixiu's favorite concubine, although she was unwilling, but she also knew that she could not compare to Murong Xue, Ling Ling's choice was undoubtedly offended Murong Xue.
The surrounding officials also had the same idea as Shangguan Qiang'er, and they didn't understand why Ling Ling chose Murong Xue's palace maid, and at the same time, they also had the mentality of watching a play, and waited with great interest to see Ling Ling's good show.
Murong Xue didn't know what to do for a while, Shangguan Qiang'er's most distressed palace maids were all called, if she didn't want to, wouldn't she seem a little stingy in front of the ministers, but Ruoyun went at night, the sword had no eyes, and she went through what happened last time. If she makes a move on Yun Wan......
She turned her eyes on Bai Yixiu for help, and when she saw that he was silent, the smile on her face did not decrease, and she did not have the slightest intention of refusing.
Her jade hands were clenched, and a noble and beautiful smile appeared on her fair and soft face,
"Since the Ling City Lord has graciously invited, there is no reason for this palace to refuse,"
She turned her head to Yun Wan and said, "Yun Wan, go and help Ling City Lord put down the apple." ”
Yun Wan's eyes sank, and she handed the robe in her hand to Murong Xue,
"The slave obeys."
A gust of night wind blew, Murong Xue draped her robe over her body, and looked coldly at Ling Ling, who was preparing to compete in the field.
In the field, the two walked to the side to select bows and arrows, Shangguan Qiang'er chose first, and returned to the same place to prepare.
This Ling Ling picked up the arrow unhurriedly, she selected two arrows with sharp arrows, broke the arrows in front of everyone, threw the arrows in her hand, and returned to Shangguan Qiang'er with two broken arrows in her hands.
She stood with her hands in her hands. smiled confidently at Shangguan Qiang'er,
"Mother, let's start?"
Seeing that she didn't hold a bow, only two arrows, Shangguan Qiang'er smiled disdainfully, raised her hand to hold a bow and arrows, and aimed at the apple on Siqing's head not far away.
Huo Yun looked at Ling Ling in the field with a calm expression, with the previous experience in the selection of young sect masters, he was not worried that Ling Ling would lose at all.
The same is true of the glory and Han Tian around him, both with indifferent faces.
"The emperor thinks, is Concubine Qiang's sister fast, or is the city lord Ling fast?"
Murong Xue observed Bai Yixiu's expression and asked him tentatively.
"What does Cher think?" He threw the topic back to Murong Xue.
Murong Xue smiled, her fair face was a little red, she raised her hand to caress her cheeks, suppressing the faint itching sensation,
"Although the city lord of Ling stood out from the selection of the young master of Longyun Gate, it seems that as she said, she doesn't know how to shoot arrows, and Concubine Qiang's sister has learned to ride and shoot since she was a child, and her skills are outstanding, and the concubine thinks that Concubine Qiang's sister has a better chance of winning."
Bai Yixiu raised his sword eyebrows lightly, "Really?" ”
He looked into the arena with a smile in his eyes and stopped talking.
