The film and television world begins with the battle for the throne in Kowloon

Chapter 631 The Prince's Secret

When he thought of this, Wang Xuance unconsciously bent his body a little and became more respectful, not as casual as the other tutors.

As the saying goes, those who are good at fighting do not necessarily have great achievements!

The man in front of him was a harmless, half-grown child with a sunny smile. With a wave of his hand, he killed a prince, causing Li Ke to risk his life and gain hard-earned prestige and glory to be destroyed in an instant. He also lost his left and right arms, suffering heavy losses.

A powerful military official of the fourth rank of the Imperial Guard, who was said to be the Duke of Lu and the General of the Right Guard, and the second son of Cheng Yaojin, was eliminated just like that. He was killed without any reason and the court didn't even know about it. It's terrifying.

As the only person who knew the inside story, when I learned all this, the prince was about to close the matter and deal with Chang Sheng's aftermath. But when the prince asked me to contact Chang Sanduo, the Yongtong Canal had not yet burst?
Wang Xuance felt an infinite awe in his heart. For the first time, he felt that the worries of his tutors were purely groundless. But when he thought about it, it made sense. If they thought highly of themselves, then the prince who discovered these talented horses was the real Bole.

How could Bole be inferior to a thousand-mile horse?
At this time, seeing that the conversation between Wang Xuance and Li Yan had come to an end, Pei Xingjian, Li Jinxing, Li Jingxuan and others had also finished their archery. Their shoulders and arms were trembling slightly from fatigue, and they were almost too weak to lift them up, so they came to Li Yan.

Li Jinxing, who was one year younger than Li Yan, was in high spirits and urged the prince to shoot some arrows as well. Usually, when Li Yan came to the training ground, he would watch the tutors practice archery and never picked up a bow himself. However, Xue Rengui had seen Li Yan practice archery on horseback once, and since then, Li Yan never took the initiative to come forward and he never mentioned archery himself.

Wang Xuance arrived later and had never seen Li Yan's archery skills, but after the conversation just now, Wang Xuance became much more stable. He just looked at him curiously without saying anything.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince is of such a noble status, wielding swords and arrows, what if something goes wrong?"

Xue Rengui took the initiative to help: "We practice martial arts diligently to protect Your Highness and serve the country. Your Highness should focus on state affairs and not indulge in these ordinary martial arts tricks."

As soon as Xue Rengui spoke, the others naturally did not dare to say anything, but Li Yan did not take it as a coroner and waved his hand: "Since Jinxing wants to see my archery skills, and now I have nothing to do, I will show you, but you must watch carefully and don't make a fool of yourself."

After Li Yan finished speaking, he took Xue Rengui's bow, pulled the bowstring, tested the strength, nodded, and said that Xue Rengui did a good job of protecting him. He took the arrow handed over by Pei Xingjian.

Looking at the target two hundred meters away, Li Yan took two steps forward and stood still, not moving for a long time.

For some reason, when Wang Xuance looked at the prince's back, there was always a kind of profound and majestic aura as standing like a mountain emanating from Li Yan, making several people hold their breath unconsciously, staring at Li Yan with nervous expressions.

Suddenly.
Li Yan raised the bow with his left hand and put the long arrow in his right hand onto the string. The muscles in his upper body bulged suddenly and his eyes stared ahead like lightning. He was like a tiger standing on the top of a mountain and roaring wildly. He would fly out into the air and pounce on his prey in the next moment.

With a slight "buzz" sound, the long arrow left the string and flew forward like lightning.

"Good!" As soon as the arrow was shot, Pei Xingjian and Li Jinxing cheered loudly. Just looking at Li Yan's intimidating posture, he was an unparalleled brave general!
With a "whoosh", the arrow flew across the target and rushed into the woods behind without looking back.

Well.
Pei Xingjian, Li Jinxing and Li Jingxuan, who saw Li Yan show his archery skills for the first time, were all stunned.

The prince's posture was very calming, and his left arm holding the bow was as steady as a rock. The long arrow shot out very steadily and with great force. If this arrow hit the wooden target, it would surely penetrate the entire target.

But in fact, Li Yan's arrow was still quite a distance away from the target. It deviated from its trajectory visibly and did not even touch the edge of the target.

The guards nearby were used to it, and even Xue Rengui turned his head and pretended not to see it. Pei Xingjian and the other two blushed, and then they understood why Xue Rengui had stopped the prince from demonstrating his archery skills in advance. Wasn't this obviously embarrassing for His Royal Highness the Prince?

The three of them didn't know what to say, but Li Yan laughed and asked in a daze: "How about it, does my arrow look impressive?"

"The prince's arrow was truly astonishing and so handsome, like a tiger out of a cage. I felt like I couldn't breathe just now," Pei Xingjian exclaimed in admiration.

"Yes, Your Highness's movements just now were as smooth as flowing water, and they were breathtaking."

Then the other two also started to praise him. Everyone avoided talking about the purpose of archery and started to compliment Li Yan's entire action.

Wang Xuance on the side frowned for a while, until Li Yan returned the bow to Xue Rengui and stopped shooting. When the guards behind him were about to pick up the arrows, he suddenly had an idea, stopped the guards who had already set off, and ran over himself.

Li Yan raised his eyelids slightly, moved his mouth, and seemed to want to say something but stopped himself. In the end, he said nothing and let Wang Xuance run into the grove.

Wang Xuance followed the trajectory of the long arrow that had just entered the forest and plunged into the woods. He walked nearly two hundred steps and searched carefully for a long time. Finally, he found the arrow that Li Yan had shot into the forest at a height of one person on the trunk of a poplar tree.

Subconsciously reaching out to pull, an expression of disbelief immediately appeared on his face, the long arrow did not move at all, after careful observation, Wang Xuance found that the long arrow was one finger deep into the wood, and the iron arrowhead was deeply embedded in the tree trunk. Wang Xuance looked back at the training ground in the distance, and immediately took a breath of cold air. This place was almost 400 steps away from where Li Yan was, and the arrow could still penetrate the wood. This force was too scary. If it was on the battlefield, wouldn't it pierce several soldiers in armor?

Fortunately, the prince’s aim is very poor, otherwise, he would be considered the best archer in the world.

Wang Xuance breathed a sigh of relief, and after great effort, he finally took down the arrow after shaking left and right. He took a casual glance at it and was about to return.

Suddenly, Wang Xuance's expression was shocked, as if struck by lightning, and he was stunned as if he had seen a ghost.

He took the arrow in his hand and examined it carefully. Suddenly, his eyes widened, a look of inexplicable horror appeared on his face, his body trembled, his breathing became rapid, and his mind was filled with shock and went blank.

I saw that the originally sharp and shining iron arrowhead actually had a barely perceptible trace of red blood.

Wang Xuance shouted in his heart, did I just hit something?

How could it be possible that the distance was nearly 400 steps...

Wang Xuance trembled all over as he searched carefully along the straight path of the long arrow into the forest. When he had walked about thirty steps forward, Wang Xuance's pupils shrank and he was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth. He saw a pile of feathers like a rag on the ground, with some bloody flesh on them.

这 是
He went forward to grab it and observed it carefully, then he found that it was actually a skylark commonly seen in the Central Plains. Wang Xuance knew that this kind of skylark was small, only the size of the palm of a hand, but it was agile and flew very fast. When it fell from the sky, only a shadow could be seen by the naked eye.

Wang Xuance took the feather with skin and flesh and put it to his nose and sniffed. A strong smell of blood hit him in the face, and the blood on his hands was bright red. It was obvious that this skylark had just died. Wang Xuance looked around in disbelief.

On my way in, I did not find any wild animals such as hawks, falcons, snakes, or martens in the forest.

A scene suddenly emerged in Wang Xuance's mind. A skylark was resting its claws on a tree trunk searching for insects. Suddenly, the skylark found its target and quickly took off into the air, like a flash of gray lightning across the forest.

At this moment, an arrow suddenly appeared from the air like a ghost. The mighty iron arrowhead carried an overwhelming and unstoppable force and quickly pierced through the skylark's narrow body, instantly tearing the skylark flying in the air apart, exploding its flesh and blood from the inside and shattering its body to pieces.

God!

Is this something a human can do?

Nearly four hundred steps away, the target almost became a small dot, not to mention the tiny skylark in the forest, which was smaller than a fallen leaf. It was impossible for a normal person to even catch its shadow, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did it.

Wang Xuance was extremely shocked. He was also a man who had seen the world and knew that even Zhang Zhongjian, the bearded archer who was once known as the best archer in the world, could never do such an archery skill.

How is this possible?
Wang Xuance seemed to have thought of something, and he kept scanning the branches within a man-high range of the skylark wreckage in disbelief. Finally, he found a few drops of dark red water on a few green leaves near the path where the long arrow passed.

He stretched out his fingers tremblingly, stroked them gently, and rubbed two fingers together.

hiss.
The bright red is so dazzling.

Wang Xuance only felt his heart beating violently in his chest, and an extremely strong feeling of oppression shrouded his mind, making him subconsciously open his mouth and breathe in deep gulps of fresh air to relieve his inner tension and anxiety.

He never dreamed that the prince was not only intelligent and scheming, but also possessed such astonishing military power.

Wang Xuance, who was also extremely proud of his intelligence, of course knew that Li Yan usually appeared honest and mediocre to others, and did not display his peerless archery skills. He deliberately shot into the woods in order to restrain his edge and hide his true strength in order to avoid arousing the vigilance and hostility of others.

Wang Xuance knew that if an ordinary person had some talent, he would be afraid that it would not be known to the world, so he would try his best to show it when he found an opportunity, using all his skills to tell the world that he had talent. In fact, he was just mediocre and could not even stand out.

Just like the word "low-key", it is usually used to describe particularly awesome people.
