Chapter 65: The Arrow Is Off the String
On the other hand, this horse is not as unruly as it was at the beginning.
It didn't seem to expect that in its horse life, it could meet such a small person, and this person had such a great tenacity, and it had not been thrown off by it for so long. It also seemed that it was tired from running for so long, so it hissed, and gradually became docile, and even slowed down its steps.
As soon as Yan Zhuo clamped the horse's belly again, the horse raised its hooves and ran again, but this time, it was completely different from its previous frenzied state.
It seems that this horse is convinced.
Yan Zhuo raised a triumphant smile, and his eyes were as bright as stars.
When one person and one horse have run in, Yan Zhuo pulled the reins and turned the horse's head, and the horse galloped away in the direction from which he came.
In the distance, Yan Zhuo saw a group of people standing next to the racecourse.
The horse was running fast, and she hurried to see who was standing, and in the crowd there was her mother. I don't know how long I've been watching here.
"Mother, why are you here?!"
She hurriedly drove her horse uphill to the entrance of the racecourse. She tightened the reins, and saw the horse raise its front hooves high, slowly fall, and move forward a few more times before stopping in front of the group.
Yan Zhuo hurriedly turned over and dismounted, and as soon as her feet reached the ground, she heard her mother speak.
"Zhuo'er, you're scared to death. ”
Yan Zhuo was a little weak-hearted, and he didn't dare to raise his eyes to look at her mother, like a child who had done something wrong. This time, her mother must have to talk about her, Yan Zhuo's heart is full of bitterness, that little guy still found her mother, alas......
"Zhuo'er, you are so dangerous, such a tall horse, you dare to ride, I don't know who gave you the courage. Mrs. Yan pulled Yan Zhuo and looked up and down, lest she hurt a little.
"Mother, I'm fine. Yan Zhuo hurriedly grabbed her mother, she was feeling uncomfortable all over now, especially the place where she was leaning on the saddle, it seemed to be worn out, but she didn't want her mother to know and worry about her.
"Mother, what's going on, I'm amazing~"
Yan Zhuo raised his little face and smiled smugly, feeling very proud that he had successfully tamed the horse.
"You little clever ghost, but you can break you, you are powerful, you are the best!" Mrs. Yan echoed with a smile. She is also really proud of Yan Zhuo, and she is really happy to see her daughter in red dressed heroically and confidently riding on a horse.
"In the future, you can't be so reckless, you know?" she deliberately lowered her face, wanting Yan Zhuo to have a longer memory.
"Mother, I know, I will definitely listen to you in the future. ”
...... Hee hee ~ Listen to what my mother says right, and if she doesn't say it right, she naturally can't listen to it. Yan Zhuo stuck out his tongue, thinking in his heart, but he looked at his mother with a flattering look on his face, shaking her arm and coquettishly.
"I can't help it, you kid. Mrs. Yan sighed helplessly.
"Zhuo'er, my mother still has important things to deal with, so I won't stay here for long, you must pay attention to safety when practicing. You don't take the maid guard with you, my mother is really worried. Otherwise, just leave these guards here and practice with you. lest you, a little monkey, be bold and make some trouble, so that your mother can feel at ease. ”
She babbled and said, and she was going to arrange for the master guards in the mansion she brought to stay here and watch Yan Zhuo practice his kung fu of riding and archery.
Mrs. Yan naturally knew that Yan Zhuo was going to participate in the winter round, and she didn't stop her from practicing, the child knew that hard work was a good thing, and she should support it. She's just afraid that she will be too careless and insignificant, and hurt herself, but it's not good.
In her opinion, this winter siege is just an ordinary gathering day of civil and military officials and saints, and hunting is just to add to the fun. There are many fights, she doesn't care about the face of the Guogong Mansion at all, and Zhuo'er is just going through the motions and having fun there. How could she know that a simple winter siege would hide so many intrigues.
"Mother, no need. Yan Zhuo shook his head and rejected his mother's arrangement, "Qingdai and they are all on the side, and the guards have something to do, so they didn't follow me." Moreover, Xingzi is also good at martial arts, and she will protect me. ”
Yan Zhuo winked at Xingzi in the crowd behind her mother, hinting to her that her mother would ask for a while, but she must admit it. She just wants to fool her mother over now, so that so many guards should go where they want.
She practiced riding and archery, and there were so many people around her, if this was known, she would not be laughed at to death? said that she was Miss Jiao, and she couldn't stand the suffering? The most important thing was that she was really not used to practicing, and there were people watching from the side, and she felt quite uncomfortable.
"Which one is Xingzi?" Mrs. Yan was not angry, and looked back at the three maids next to her.
"Madame Hui, the slave maid is. ”
Xing Zi stepped forward and saluted respectfully.
Mrs. Yan carefully looked at Xingzi, and saw that she had a kind face and clean eyes, and her first impression was much better, "Oh, what Zhuo'er said is true, do you really know martial arts?"
"Mrs. Hui, what Miss said is true, the slave maid has indeed practiced martial arts. ”
"What about martial arts?" Mrs. Yan is obviously not a fool, and at this time she wants to see what the maid Yan Zhuo said, how her martial arts are.
Xing Zi lowered her head and thought for a while, and when she was about to answer, she listened to the young lady.
"Mother, you don't have to worry about this, Xingzi's martial arts are good, I've seen them all, she's more than enough to protect me. Mother, didn't you say that there is still something to do? Go back and get busy, don't delay your business. ”
Yan Zhuo said, holding her mother's arm and walking back.
Mrs. Yan was interrupted by Yan Zhuo, but she didn't ask, she lightly tapped her nose, and a smile rose on her lips, "You, you must pay attention to safety, otherwise, my mother will definitely not spare you." ”
"Yes, mother. Yan Zhuo's eyes were shining, and he didn't think about it, so he agreed directly.
finally sent away his mother and the guards, and Yan Zhuo breathed a sigh of relief.
"Just watch, and if you are willing to practice, you can go to the stable, and let the little man who watches the horses find a docile horse for each of you." ”
Yan Zhuo looked at her three maids and explained with a smile. Her horses are all tamed, and at this time, if she wants to practice archery, there is naturally no risk, so let the three maids play by themselves.
"Yes, miss. All three of them ran to the stable with joy to pull their horses.
Except for Xingzi, the other two were riding horses for the first time, so Xingzi led a reddish-brown horse out, she turned over neatly and got on the horse, signaled to Yan Zhuo, and entered the horse farm, let the horse gallop with a clear shout.
Watching Xing Zi ride away, the other two were extremely envious.
The two of them chose a pony and were helped to pedal on the horse. The first time they rode a horse, they both trembled a little, afraid that they would fall. Therefore, there are two little servants beside them, teaching them the tricks of riding, helping them lead the horses all the way, and slowly slipping up for a while to let them get used to it.
Yan Zhuo led the horse to the shade, tied the reins, and let it rest first. She took a sip of spring water, then walked to the flat ground, and began to practice archery, and not far away, all the arrow targets were erected.
Time was urgent, and she didn't have time to go to her father and ask him to find a good riding and archery instructor, so she recalled the tricks she had taught her before, aimed at the target, and shot an arrow.
There was a small guy standing far away from the target, helping Yan Zhuo calculate the results.
Yan Zhuo looked at him and saw that he crossed his arms into a big ×, which meant that he did not win the bid.
Yan Zhuo just gave it a try. This time, she placed the arrow firmly on the string, clasped the thumb and middle finger of her right hand, and rested her index finger lightly on the end of the arrow. Now that she has practiced various exercises such as internal strength, spiritual power, and forging the ghost, strength is no longer a problem, but she is just drawing a full bow, which is too pediatric for her.
She aimed at the bullseye again with her eyes, this distance of ten meters, even if she didn't cultivate, she could see it clearly.
With a "chirp", the arrow flew out again.
This time, it was slightly tilted, but it had already hit the bull's-eye!
She instructed the servant to take the target to a distance of fifty meters and send the arrow out again.
The speed of the arrow is extremely fast, and it will soon reach the target of the arrow.
The little guy stepped forward, first checked the arrow target, then took a few steps back and picked up an arrow, and made a × at Yan Zhuo in the distance.
This time, the arrow missed, and it didn't even hit the target.
Yan Zhuo naturally saw it, but she couldn't figure it out, she had used her strength enough, and her eyes were also aimed at the bull's-eye, why was it so bad this time, and she could even fall to the ground, what was going on?
She set up an arrow again, drew her bow to the brim, aimed it at the bull's-eye, and shot it.
However, in response to her, it was a big ×.
Again, ×.
Again...... Arrows, grazing the target and flying past.
Yan Zhuo shot three arrows in a row and stopped.
It's weird, why is the distance so far away that she can't even shoot at a target?
There is definitely no problem with strength, her arrows can go far beyond the target, and there is no problem with gestures, which are according to the previous teachings; what is the problem?
She looked at the field, pondering, and at a loss.
A gust of wind blew, gently stirring Yan Yan's hair, blowing the veil covering her face.
Wind!
That's right!
It's the wind.
At such a distance, the arrow flew extremely fast, there would have been air obstruction, and from time to time there was a wind blowing, and it was strange that she could shoot at the target.
There is no good teaching to teach, everything needs to be explored by yourself, but fortunately, Yan Zhuo himself is also smart.
She found the knot, watched the wind for a while, estimated how much the arrow might be affected by the wind, and aimed the arrow at the bull's-eye. She moved the arrow a little more in the opposite direction of the wind, and then, without hesitation, shot the arrow.
The arrow was off the string, Yan Zhuo put down the bow, staring at the speeding arrow without turning his eyes, waiting for the result this time.
