Chapter Thirty-Nine: Victory Without Force
"It's Miss Tuoba!"
An exclamation caused everyone to look back, obviously it was still their familiar appearance, but now it was different from the past, the Tuoba Ye in front of him was obviously more stylish, even if he was lame on one leg, he walked with a straight back, neither humble nor arrogant, like a red plum coming in the wind.
Everyone faintly smelled the faint fragrance on her body, and they were all shocked, compared with her, Leng Qingxiu didn't seem to be so amazing.
Coming to the crowd, Tuoba Ye arched his hand to Lin Yao and Shangguan: "I've seen two princesses." ”
The two girls ignored her at all, ignored her, rode their horses and whipped, and at once they arrived at the riding and shooting range in front.
Xiao Wu and the others hurriedly prepared bows and arrows, and brought a horse for Leng Qingxiu, this white horse was handsome, which happened to match her beauty.
But when he got on the horse, Leng Qingxiu couldn't help but look at Tuoba Ye worriedly: "Do you need help?" ”
She looked at Zhu Jiu's leg, obviously thinking that she couldn't get on the horse if she was lame.
Everyone also came back to their senses at this time, and shook their heads in disappointment: "Andinghou is really nonsense, how can anyone dare to invite him to the competition?" I thought Tuobano's leg was fine! ”
"Yes, it's a pity, Miss Tuoba's martial arts were originally good, but Zhu Jiu lost a leg, how can she pull a bow and shoot arrows like this?"
"It seems that our Xuanyuan Kingdom is going to lose this riding and archery competition."
Zhu Jiu didn't say anything, only shook his head at Leng Qingxiu and thanked him, and then went to the stable to choose a horse for the competition.
But someone led a pony to her side, and mocked her in the dialect of Gaoxinguo: "My princess has ordered, considering your inconvenient legs, specially asked me to bring this bantam horse to you, don't you hurry up and thank you?" ”
"What? Bantam? Don't deceive too much! Who doesn't know that this bantam can't outrun your princess's tall horse at all! ”
Ye Shiqing, who came to see the excitement, couldn't sit still, and rushed forward angrily to theorize.
Zhu Jiu also patted the bantam's head lightly, rubbed its ears, and the bantam seemed to resonate, purring at her, and rubbing her palm affectionately.
Seeing this, Zhu Jiu nodded lightly to the little guy: "Just it." ”
Without waiting for everyone to be surprised, she had already exerted her strength, and with a light tap on her toes, she instantly turned over and got on the horse.
The fluttering figure is as light as a butterfly, how can there be the slightest appearance of being lame with inconvenient legs and feet?
If it weren't for the fact that everyone had just seen her walk tall and short, I am afraid that with her exposed hands, no one would suspect that she was disabled.
Seeing her so vigorous, the two daughters were shocked, obviously they didn't expect this Tuoba Ye to have this hand!
Could it be that she will be able to perform well in the riding and archery competition later?
Everyone waited with bated breath, and coincidentally, it turned out to be Rong Ruo, who was the overseer of this mounted archery competition.
Rong Ruo changed into a azure riding suit, embroidered with a lion pattern, and his body, which had always been wrapped in a long robe, also showed a tall body under the outline of the riding outfit at this moment.
His pale skin shone in the light, like a translucent mutton fat jade, and a pair of smiling peach blossom eyes were also very clean, and he bowed slightly to the four women who rode into battle: "Are you all ready?" ”
When the glossy eyes swept over Zhu Jiu, he couldn't help but stay for a moment, and then nodded.
I don't know what the old fox is up to, but this riding shot just needs to do his best, and Zhu Jiu also nodded to him.
Shangguan Yunxue's eyes narrowed slightly, staring at the two of them for a moment before she smiled innocently at Rong Ruo: "Lord Overseer, we are all ready!" Feel free to get started. ”
On the side, Lin Yao observed the movement of the two, and couldn't help but laugh secretly: Sister Shangguan came here to do it with Rong Ruo, but I didn't expect Tuoba Ye to be so self-conscious, and he dared to look at Rong Ruo in front of Sister Shangguan.
It seems that in the future, this riding and archery competition will not need her to take action, and Shangguan Yunxue will deal with Tuoba Ye by herself.
And the only thing she has to deal with is the cold concubine next to her who has stolen everyone's attention from the first appearance - Leng Qingxiu.
Soon, as Rong Ruo ordered the flag to wave, the lion pattern just crossed in front of everyone's eyes, and the four girls galloped out like arrows off the string.
This mounted archery competition adds to the difficulty, and the target is mobile.
There are cattle and sheep galloping on the grassland, which adds difficulty to their forward route, Lin Yao, as the princess of Gaoxin Kingdom, can't wait to win Leng Qingxiu, so she took the lead in shooting arrows with a bow, aiming at the nearest target, her eyes narrowed slightly, and her hand was forced: Whoosh!
In an instant, the arrow flew out and was firmly inserted into the edge of the bull's-eye.
Although she almost hit the bull's-eye, such a quasi-head is rare among women, and even Zhu Jiu can't help but look at her more, but his eyes are not on her, but in the bow and arrow in her hand.
has been marching and fighting all year round, and the bow and arrow have never moved, she knows at a glance, and Lin Yao can't hit the bull's-eye even when she cheats with a bow and arrow, but she has such a proud look on her face......
It's ridiculous to think about it.
"Stinky girl, what are you laughing at?"
Suddenly, Shangguan Yunxue's scolding came from her ears, and as soon as she turned her head, Zhu Jiu met her extremely disgusted gaze, as if she was looking at some stinky fish and rotten shrimp.
Zhu Jiu looked back lightly: "I'm laughing, you don't deserve to win this riding and archery competition." ”
The Tianlong Festival is the most solemn event before the enthronement ceremony, and the Xuanyuan Imperial Court attaches great importance to it, if the two princesses don't mess around, this riding and archery competition should also be a clean place, allowing those daughters' families to show their skills and strength.
It's a pity that these two people couldn't win and ruined a good mounted archery competition.
Shangguan Yunxue's face sank: "What did you say?" ”
But as soon as the unkind gaze fell on Zhu Jiu, I saw Zhu Jiu suddenly shoot arrows with a bow, obviously I didn't see how hard she was, and the arrows kept aiming at the bull's-eye of the farthest target.
Bang!
A steady arrow landed on the target in an instant, and everyone was shocked.
She was farther away, even more dashing, and more casual in her posture, hitting the bull's-eye when everyone didn't expect it.
There was no arrogance and pretense of Lin Yao at all, as if shooting the bullseye was as simple as eating and drinking water for her.
"Second Miss is so good!"
Even Ye Shiqing couldn't help but raise her hand and cheer.
Everyone also came back to their senses, and many princesses who had been bullied by them felt like they were breathing evil, and they suddenly boiled.
"Tuobano, teach them a good lesson!"
"That's right! If you win, I'll give you my most beautiful wishful bracelet! ”
"I'll send it too! I'll give me this rain butterfly hairpin on my head! ”
I can't see that the women of Xuanyuan Country are so competitive and refuse to admit defeat.
I think I also felt aggrieved after being won by these two princesses, and even Tuoba Ye, who used to look annoying, made them feel a lot more pleasing to the eye when they looked at it today.
Zhu Jiu didn't expect that he would justify the name of "Tuoba Ye" in this way.
Xuanyuan Che, who was rushing, happened to see a woman in a white riding uniform in the crowd, and was cheered by the stars.
With such a wanton and chic appearance, standing proudly between the heavens and the earth, this piece of green grass and blue sky seems to have become her background board, which is not as outstanding as one-ten-thousandth of her.
