Chapter 128: Five Arrows in unison
It was still dusk, and before night, the afterglow of the setting sun reflected in the entire garden, as if it were covered with a yellow veil.
This light was enough for archery, and the five palace maids stood a hundred paces away, trembling against the apples, for fear that Yu Wenrui's arrow would hit their heads.
Yu Wenrui tried the bow, the elasticity is good, it is indeed a good bow.
"If you move and can't shoot, don't blame this prince. He said in a loud voice to the five palace maids, looking at their even more frightened faces, and his mood was very happy.
Then he put on a sharp arrow, aimed at the apple on the head of the first palace maid and shot his bow, only to hear a "boom-" sound, and directly crossed the apple.
The palace maid closed her eyes in fright, and after a long while, she realized that she was okay, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Although the next four palace maids were all frightened by him, they were still safe.
All five apples were shot.
Yu Wenrui smiled proudly, then handed the bow and arrow in his hand to Shen Yanshu, and said to her with a smile: "Miss Shen, this time it's your turn." β
The five palace maids stood in the distance, and when they saw that it was Shen Yanshu shooting arrows, the panic in their hearts was even worse, and one of their bodies trembled so much that they didn't even resist the apple.
"Five people. Shen Yanshu said lightly.
When King Ning heard this, he asked the other five palace maids to go over and replace them.
Yu Wenrui rubbed his chin, but looked at her interestingly, he didn't expect that she would even care about this kind of detail, it seemed that it was not just a vase, but this did not prevent him from teaching her a lesson.
He sat back in his place, picked a small grape and put it in the palm of his hand, gently rubbing it back and forth.
Shen Yanshu looked at the five palace maids who were also nervous, and said to them, "You close your eyes. β
The five palace maids all closed their eyes obediently, although they were a little trembling, but at least they wouldn't move, Shen Yanshu stood in place and looked at them, moved his steps slightly, found a suitable position, and then directly picked up five arrows from the little eunuch's hand and put them on the bow and arrow together.
Everyone looked at her in amazement.
Even Yu Wenrui and An Ruyi were a little surprised, she actually wanted to shoot five arrows at once?
For Shen Yanshu, this may be the best solution, after all, her shoulder is in tearing pain. She drew her bow and arrow steadily, her eyes fixed intently on the angle of the arrow and the distance between the five people.
A sharp light flashed in her eyes, and her hand was about to let go, Yu Wenrui saw the opportunity, and the small grape in her hand catapulted towards Shen Yanshu's back knee, just here, the small bead that came from the other direction directly hit the grape that was heading towards Shen Yanshu halfway and fell to the ground.
Yu Wenrui frowned, and looked up just in time to see Yan Qinghan on the opposite side looking at him with a fierce face.
It was ruined by Yan Qinghan!
At this time, the arrows in Shen Yanshu's hands had already left his hands, and the five sharp arrows roared in the direction of the five palace maids, and the people around them didn't even dare to come out, only to see that Shen Yanshu's arrows had been inserted into the five apples in an instant, and none of them were bad!
"Okay!" Bingbu Shangshu slapped his thigh and roared loudly.
The originally timid women of the family had already closed their eyes, and when they heard this, their bodies jumped suddenly, and they opened their eyes and saw the five palace maids who were safe and sound.
An Ruyi was the first to applaud, a woman with such skills must not be simple.
The other people reacted and applauded, and even some sons of the family applauded.
"There is a reward!" said the Emperor with great joy.
Shen Yanshu was still holding a bow and arrow in his hand, clasped his fists and saluted: "Thank you, Your Majesty." β
Yan Qinghan's face was solemn, because he found that Shen Yanshu's right hand had trembled slightly, although she tried her best to hide it, but the trembling bowstring betrayed her.
He suddenly remembered that day when he was ill and bit her.
He was unconscious when he became ill, so he hurt others a lot, otherwise he wouldn't have locked himself in the Bright Moon Pavilion. But he hurt Shen Yanshu that day, he didn't see the wound, but the clothes on her entire shoulder were soaked red with blood at that time, and the injury must have been not light.
Although Yu Wenrui was unwilling, but in the face of Shen Yanshu's level, he might not be able to compare, and just wanted to give up, but he saw Shen Yanshu's trembling hand, as if he couldn't control it, and trembled slightly.
Could it be that the five arrows just now had exhausted her strength, and her body couldn't stand it, so she became what she is now? Yu Wenrui didn't know the reason, but he refused to give up.
He stood up again and said, "Although Miss Shen is superb in archery and shoots five arrows with one bow, this is obviously inconsistent with our rules of the game. β
"Then Your Highness should go and try it with others. Shen Yanshu said, then handed the bow and arrow in his hand to the little eunuch just now, just saluted, and then turned around and planned to return to his position.
Where is Yu Wenrui willing to let go of such a good opportunity, even if he doesn't do anything this time, it is estimated that Shen Yanshu will not win. He said: "This time you only tried one arrow, aren't you afraid to compare?"
"The three princes have come from afar, and we have prepared other performances, so why bother with archery!" King Ning said.
Yu Wenrui said: "It's hard to find a powerful opponent, of course, you have to compete before you are willing, you won't even agree to this kind of request, right?"
"If you want to compare, this king will accompany you. β
Yan Qinghan suddenly spoke.
Yu Wenrui chuckled: "This is a matter between this prince and Miss Shen, what does it have to do with King Ling?"
Yan Qinghan stared at him and said in a cold tone: "She is the future princess of this king. β
Yu Wenrui was stunned, but he didn't expect that Shen Yanshu and Yan Qinghan would have such a relationship, but wasn't Yan Qinghan dying? Why do you still have a fiancΓ©e?
An Ruyi said with a smile: "I heard that His Royal Highness King Ling is wise and brave, but I didn't expect that the future Princess Ling will not be inferior. β
Yu Wenrui said: "It's just an arrow, you don't need King Ling to appear." β
The people around looked at this unruly prince, and they were already annoyed, but no one dared to say anything.
Shen Yanshu couldn't match Yu Wenrui's entangled appearance, turned around and said: "It's okay for the three princes to compare, but you have to replace this person with an apple on his head for an envoy of Great Qi, otherwise it's just that." β
"You!" Yu Wenrui didn't expect her to make such a request.
"Presumptuous!" said one of the envoys of the Great Qi angrily, "We have come from afar, and you have let us do such a thing! β
Shen Yanshu chuckled and looked at Yu Wenrui: "Third prince, it's not that the little girl doesn't want to compare, it's your envoy who refused." β
"If you hurt them, can you take responsibility?" Yu Wenrui looked at her coldly.
Shen Yanshu said with a smile: "Everyone saw my archery skills just now, even with five people, I didn't hurt them in the slightest, just an envoy, so naturally I don't have to worry." β
Yu Wenrui looked at her, not knowing what idea she had in mind.
"Since you don't dare, the little girl will retreat, after all, there are still many performances. Shen Yanshu said, and was about to turn around and leave again.
"Wait!" Yu Wenrui called out to her.
Everyone looked at him in unison.
"Yes. Yu Wenrui said, "But if you dare to hurt them in the slightest, you will have to pay with your life." β
Then he called out one of the envoys who sat at the end, who seemed to be the lowest official among these envoys, about thirty years old, and was looking at Yu Wenrui in surprise, and he couldn't believe that he would be asked to carry the apple.
Even the officials of the Great Zhou and the children of the family were a little surprised that he would agree to let the courtiers do such a thing!
That envoy couldn't refuse at all, Yu Wenrui and An Ruyi had always been ruthless, if they dared to disobey them, the end would be very miserable, he didn't dare.
Tremblingly, he put an apple on his head and closed his eyes nervously.
Shen Yanshu took the bow and arrow, but shouted: "Open your eyes!"
When the envoy heard this, he was so frightened that he opened his eyes again, but he saw that the arrow was aimed at his eyes!
But after waiting for a while, Shen Yanshu didn't have the slightest intention of adjusting the angle.
I saw Shen Yanshu put down the arrow again, and before he could let go, he heard her sigh and say, "I was too hard just now, and now my hands are sore, and I feel that I may miss it." β
Then he drew his bow and arrows, still aimed at his head!
Sweat was running down his forehead.
The corners of Shen Yanshu's mouth hooked up a casual smile, her right hand didn't use much strength to pull the bow at all, and then she suddenly screamed "Ah-", and her hand seemed to let go of the arrow.
And the envoy saw that Shen Yanshu slipped his hand, and he was so frightened that he knelt on the ground, holding his head tightly with both hands, and exclaimed, his legs couldn't help but tremble, the apple on his head had already rolled to the side, and he looked frightened.
Shen Yanshu held the arrow in his hand that did not shoot, and said with a smile: "I just have a slippery hand, you don't have to be afraid." β
The envoy, who was lying on the ground, looked up with palpitations, and was relieved to see that she had an arrow in her hand.
But all the people at the banquet laughed at his embarrassed appearance, the ladies and ladies covered their mouths and smiled, and some of the military ministers laughed uncontrollably, and even slapped the table wildly.
"It's so cowardly!hahaha!"
"Just like this, the bird is still a great Qi envoy!"
"You won't be scared to pee your pants!"
The envoy's entire face was already flushed, and Yu Wenrui looked at him like this, and his heart was even more angry! I didn't expect this Shen Yanshu to have such an idea!
"Get out of here!" Yu Wenrui yelled at him.
The envoy hurried to his feet and returned to his place.
"Third prince, since this is the case, this archery competition is over. The Emperor said with a smile.
"I'll be the target. A voice suddenly rang out.
Everyone looked over in surprise and found that An Ruyi had already stood up.
