Chapter 177 The Contest Between You and Me
Shi Baoyan is thick-skinned, and when she was questioned by Zhao Haoran like this, she couldn't help blushing, and said hesitantly: "The little girl is the sister of Qingxue's sister, her name is Baoyan, and the third highness is called Xiaonu Baoyan." ”
"Oh!" Zhao Haoran responded with interest, and said casually: "I'm going to shoot arrows with Qingxue, nothing to do with you, you go back first!" ”
After that, he didn't give Shi Baoyan a chance to speak again, and directly asked Xia Mang to send people back to Shi's carriage, and he took Shi Qingxue to another carriage and rushed to the martial arts training ground.
As soon as Zhao Haoran arrived at the martial arts training ground, he brought a bow and arrow with great interest, and at the same time asked someone to bring over two good horses, and said to Shi Qingxue: "We have competed in archery last time, and it is not interesting to come again, this time we will try to ride a horse and archery!"
It's the same ten arrows, see who shoots quickly and accurately, okay? ”
Shi Qingxue smiled secretly in her heart, silently guessing that this third prince of Zhao must be worried that he would lose to her again in archery, so he came up with this trick. However, looking at the two green BMWs, she was also a little moved, and readily agreed, "Okay!" Come on, who's going to come first this time? ”
Zhao Haoran was not willing to be left behind, and immediately said: "Of course, this hall came first, this time I want you to have a good look at my riding skills!" ”
He directly raised his horse, heroic and handsome; As soon as he leaned slightly, he rushed down and took the longbow and quiver.
His calf hit the horse's belly, and the BMW slowly ran up, drawing a long arrow from his quiver and aiming it at the circular scarecrow in the big circle.
However, in an instant, the arrow flew away from the longbow.
With a 'boom', the scarecrow's head was in the middle.
"Accurate!" Shi Qingxue's eyes lit up when she saw it on the side, and she couldn't help but praise it in a low voice.
Zhao Haoran didn't have the previous smugness at all this time, after the first arrow hit, he immediately pulled out the second sharp arrow from the quiver, continued to hit the horse in a circle, and hit the scarecrow in the mouth with another arrow.
The movements are smooth and graceful, and it is estimated that the best riders perform archery!
Shi Qingxue just watched Zhao Haoran shoot out one arrow at a time, and finally ten sharp arrows pierced the scarecrow into a sieve, and the scene was very spectacular.
Zhao Haoran dismounted at this time, walked in front of Shi Qingxue, smiled a little reservedly, and asked implicitly: "Now do you think that the archery skills of this hall are enough to enter your eyes?" ”
Shi Qingxue smiled, and said in her heart that this prince was really childish, and he obviously wanted her to praise her, but he just put on a look of 'this is just a trivial matter', and he was happy to kill her.
However, she is old and doesn't care about children like children, since Zhao Haoran wants to praise him, just give it to him.
"Yes, yes, your ability to ride a horse and shoot arrows ......"
Shi Qingxue was suddenly dumbfounded, and there was only one thought in her mind: Obviously she should only turn sixteen this year, and Zhao Haoran is already eighteen, why does she still think that Zhao Haoran is younger than her?
This......
Zhao Haoran's mood hadn't floated up yet, Shi Qingxue's words stopped, and he looked at him with a pale face, like a ghost.
He immediately shouted dissatisfiedly: "Hmph! I know you're good at it, and you won't look down on me. It's useless to talk too much, now it's your turn! ”
Shi Qingxue faced the longbow and quiver handed to her, although she knew that the other party had misunderstood what she meant, but her heart was already a mess, and she didn't have the strength to explain it.
Dumbfounded, she took the bow and arrows, and stepped on the horse.
Shi Qingxue hadn't ridden a horse for a long time, and as soon as she got up, she was shaken off by the horse and almost fell down, so she barely managed to stabilize her mind.
Exhaled heavily, she was also like Zhao Haoran before to draw arrows and aim and shoot.
The steps are the same.
The first arrow quickly deflected and shot straight at the scarecrow.
Seeing that the long arrow was getting closer and closer to the target, the direction of the long arrow was also off, and finally flew over the head of the scarecrow.
Shi Qingxue's first arrow actually fell on target?!
Shi Qingxue paused in her horseback riding, but soon she regained her rhythm and drove her horse almost around the scarecrow before pulling out a sharp arrow again.
This time, the sharp arrow misses the scarecrow and finally hits the scarecrow, but it misses and hits the scarecrow straight in the shoulder.
She then shot the remaining arrows one after the other, and the arrows hit the scarecrow in different positions.
Arms, chest, abdomen...... Only the last three arrows barely hit the scarecrow in the head.
Shi Qingxue slowly stopped the horse, no need for Zhao Haoran to say, she knew that the results of the two were too far apart this time.
She may be good at archery, but her equestrian skills are average, and it is even more rare to combine the two, and there is no way to accurately calculate the fit between distance and speed, and it is normal to miss the shot.
Qingxue wasn't surprised at all, but couldn't help but be a little depressed.
Zhao Haoran walked quickly in front of Shi Qingxue, and was about to boast about himself, when he heard Shi Qingxue say directly: "This time you won." ”
said that it was okay to show off, he didn't even get up and announced the results directly, it's not cool at all, okay?!
And looking at Qingxue's unhappy little face, Zhao Haoran's happiness was not much, but a strange sense of guilt rose, especially in the past few days, he has actually been practicing horseback archery wildly......
"Otherwise, I'll teach you how to ride a horse!" Zhao Haoran blurted out.
Shi Qingxue looked up in surprise, her face was full of disbelief, and Zhao Haoran regretted it as soon as she said it.
stammered: "The main hall just looks at your archery skills, I don't want to waste it, don't forget it!" ”
After speaking, he still dragged his head away, looking very reluctant.
Shi Qingxue was stunned, and finally couldn't help laughing, the depression in her heart was swept away, and she secretly said that this third prince of Zhao is too funny!
Obviously, I don't care about it, but I still want to talk casually, do you want to love it.
"Hey, what are you laughing at? Your Highness didn't mean to help you, so don't be sentimental! Zhao Haoran was made his face turn red and black by this smile, and he was annoyed and angry, and shouted at Qingxue.
"No, nothing!" Shi Qingxue hurriedly held back a smile, in order not to make Zhao Haoran really angry, she put on a happy and happy look, and replied seriously: "I'm just very happy to have such a powerful teacher as you."
But aren't you worried about teaching your apprentices and starving your master? ”
This is definitely not Shi Qingxue's boasting, she has archery skills as a guarantee, even if she learns Zhao Haoran's ninety percent equestrianism, she has the ability to compare.
Zhao Haoran was also full of confidence, pointing to the two BMWs and raising his eyebrows, "Then try it!" I'll teach you the first step, fly on the horse! ”
As he spoke, he was already stepping on the horse's pedal with one foot, and the other foot was swiftly stepping over the horse's back and firmly stepping on the other horse's pedal.
The whole process is smooth and takes no more than a blink of an eye.
Shi Qingxue's eyes were straight, and she saw Zhao Haoran beckoning to her and raising her chin, "Come up!" ”
"......" Shi Qingxue silently walked to the side of her horse, compared the height of her and the horse, and looked at Zhao Haoran again.
Zhao Haoran didn't see that Qingxue didn't know martial arts at all, so he shouted as a matter of course: "Come up!" Just use a little light, it's very simple. ”
"......" Shi Qingxue was helpless, she was not so capable, she could only hold the saddle with both hands and step on the horse pedals with one foot as before, and it took a lot of strength to barely support herself.
Xu was that the previous competition had consumed too much of her energy, and she had just sat on the horse, and she shook again, and the horse was also a little restless.
Zhao Haoran quickly grabbed the reins in front of Shi Qingxue with his hand, held her shoulder with the other hand, and frowned: "You are too weak!" At the very least, you can't get on a horse, have you ever learned equestrian well? ”
Shi Qingxue: "...... No. ”
Abruptly replied.
Zhao Haoran: "......" This time it was his turn to be speechless.
Shi Qingxue lowered her head, and murmured in a low voice for a long time: "I was too young at that time, and my grandfather kept saying that he would teach me equestrian skills until I grew up, but then he broke his body while riding a horse, and he never got better again, and I ...... it too."
In the days that followed, Qingxue didn't have the opportunity to get in touch with horseback riding, but instinctively, she didn't want to practice equestrianism.
It is also today's opportunity that she impulsively agreed to Zhao Haoran, so that there will be now.
Zhao Haoran showed a trace of embarrassment on his face, and apologized a little embarrassed, "I'm sorry, I didn't ......"
"I'm fine." Shi Qingxue smiled and made her state clear.
She withdrew the reins from Zhao Haoran's hand and said positively: "Since you said that you want to teach me to ride a horse, then I will ask you next!" ”
Zhao Haoran had the heart to comfort Shi Qingxue, but he was stupid, and he would only go back and forth with pale words such as 'I'm sorry' and 'I'm sorry', which even he spit on, let alone say it again.
I had to pretend to change the topic casually: "You follow me!" Equestrian or something, you still have to ride more, and find your own feelings. Let's learn! ”
He swung his whip vigorously, like an arrow off the string, and galloped out.
Not to be outdone, Shi Qingxue also waved her whip and chased after her.
Zhao Haoran deliberately guided Shi Qingxue to master the technique of driving a horse, and whenever the distance between the two was widened, he slowed down slightly, and when Qingxue caught up, he rode the horse again.
The two of them ran for a long time one after the other, ran out of the martial arts training ground, and ran into the grove, they did not stop, but competed with each other, and when the two of them were a little tired, they had already arrived at the back mountain forest of the martial arts training ground.
Zhao Haoran stopped first and asked Shi Qingxue with a smile, "How do you feel now?" ”
Shi Qingxue also laughed, "Happy! It's been a long time since I've run so fast! ”
In my memory, the last time she was so presumptuous was when Shi Lei was in good health, and she took her to the Shi family military camp on the grounds of exercise.
"Then let's go back and try archery again, in fact, as long as you are skilled in horsemanship, and practice more against the scarecrow, you will definitely get started soon!" Zhao Haoran wiped the sweat from his forehead with one hand, and said with great interest, his words were full of praise for Shi Qingxue.
Shi Qingxue was a little embarrassed by his praise, "Don't say that, if it only takes one day to make me feel that I can wear Yang in a hundred steps, and then I can't even wipe the edge, then I will lose my hair!" ”
