Little Lord
Chapter 16 Chapter 16
When going on a long journey, Jiang Zhuozhuo can choose to take a boat, a carriage, or fly. When he gets tired, he can squat on top of the Knight Commander's winged horse to rest.
If the carriage is pulled by winged horses in front and behind, it can fly. Jiang Zhuozhuo flies every day, and the fact that he can fly is not new to him. He is very interested in this kind of aerial carriage and said excitedly that he wants to try it.
Maine asked someone to prepare it.
Since he had to pack things that he might need when he was away from home, Jiang Zhuozhuo couldn't leave until at least the next day.
She didn't disturb Maine from working, but started to open the gift her seventh sister Cynthia had given her.
It was a very beautiful longbow, with the bow inlaid with gorgeous gems that sparkled in the sun.
At that moment, the pain was so blinding!
Oh, it turns out to be someone else’s wealth!
Jiang Zhuozhuo thought that even if her sister was fooled by others and angered their mother queen, and her territory was moved from a prosperous area to a backward area, it would still be a better place than her...
Shock!
The poor guy is actually me!
TAT
The arrows that come with it are also quite beautiful. The feathers on the arrows don't look like they are grown by ordinary birds. The feathers are bright red in color, and they are suspected to be the legendary phoenix feathers.
Jiang Zhuozhuo discussed with Anna, the maid beside him: "Do you think this is the feather that my sister dropped herself?"
Some people look glamorous and beautiful, but in fact they also have to worry about hair loss in private!
The good thing about losing feathers is that you can collect these feathers and use them for many purposes. The bad thing is that if you lose too many feathers this big, it will be very obvious!
Anna: ?????
I don't dare to discuss this topic. What if the seventh princess hears about it?
Anna smiled and said, "We have also collected the fluff that fell when Your Highness slept and are going to make a small pillow for Your Highness."
Jiang Zhuozhuo:.
Oh, this is just a world where all living things shed their hair, what’s the big deal!
Jiang Zhuozhuo was reluctant to use such a good bow and arrow, so he ran to find Lao Lu.
Jiang Zhuozhuo always speaks his mind, and whenever he sees someone, he asks, "Can you make me a bow?"
Lao Lu said, "When do you want it?"
Jiang Zhuozhuo: "Tomorrow!"
Old Lu sneered: "Why didn't you say you wanted it tonight?"
The little round bird was pleasantly surprised: "Is it possible? Then I can try it tonight! You are really amazing!"
Lao Lu:?
For a moment I didn't know whether this little bird did it on purpose.
Old Lu said, "It's not that easy to make a good bow. I have a lot of old bows that are not in use. If you want, you can pick two to practice with."
Jiang Zhuozhuo said, "Can you use a bow? My sister invited me to her party, saying it's a party of their archer club. Do you want to go with her?"
Old Lu said, "What am I going to do at your kids' party?"
Jiang Zhuozhuo said: "That's a pity. I was thinking that when I catch some delicious prey, you can try it together. There are many meat beasts that are only found in Hongye Province!"
According to the friendly agreement between the East and West Continents, even in the East Continent ruled by their bird tribe, they are not allowed to hunt intelligent animals.
The animals that can be eaten are not intelligent, and everyone calls them meat animals! In order to avoid being hunted by mistake, the beasts from other continents must maintain their human form.
Similarly, the bird tribe must maintain their human form when going to the Western Continent, or fly along the hunting-prohibited routes designated by the Western Continent.
Otherwise, when you are flying in the sky, the orcs below will not be able to tell whether you are intelligent or not. If an orc pretends to be confused while knowing the truth, you will be dead.
That place is eaten by both animals and poultry.
Cherish life, start with yourself!
When Old Lu heard that there were new dishes to eat, he immediately changed his mind: "Since you have invited me, it's okay for me to go with you."
Seeing that Lao Lu had been persuaded, Jiang Zhuozhuo followed Lao Lu to pick out the bow and arrow.
Old Lu was quiet, but he had quite a few bows hidden away. Jiang Zhuozhuo touched and looked at them left and right, unable to decide which bow to choose.
Old Lu was getting impatient watching from the side and asked, "What kind of bow do you want?"
Jiang Zhuozhuo said: "I don't know!"
Old Lu: “…”
"You haven't touched a bow at all?"
Old Lu expressed his doubts in disbelief.
"Yup!"
Jiang Zhuozhuo thought this was a natural thing. She was already a college student who had just graduated from high school not long ago, and she was studying fine arts. How could she have the opportunity to play with a bow and arrow? Even if she asked all the students in her class, she would not be able to find many who had touched a bow.
Old Lu couldn't understand: "How dare you attend the Archers Club's party?!"
Jiang Zhuozhuo said, "But my seventh sister is a member of this club, she is a professional." She looked confident, "A professional like her is willing to invite me, she must have seen that I have a talent in this area!"
Old Lu laughed: "She saw that you have talent? Even if she has seen you, she has only seen your birdlike appearance. How can she tell that you have talent?"
Seeing that Lao Lu was obviously laughing at him, Jiang Zhuozhuo was very unconvinced: "I just haven't learned it before, what's so funny? Do you know how to shoot arrows as soon as you break the shell? We all started as novices!"
When Old Lu heard Jiang Zhuozhuo say this, he also remembered that Jiang Zhuozhuo had only been out of the shell for less than a year, and even if the years in the shell were counted, he was still just a baby bird.
He has lived for so many years that he has forgotten that many things need to be learned from scratch.
Knowing that he was wrong, Lao Lu still insisted: "Aren't you Phoenix people born with knowledge? You should know everything." Jiang Zhuozhuo was furious when he heard this.
Old Lu picked out a beginner's bow for her: "Try to see if you can draw it, but don't be in front of others and you won't even be able to draw a bow."
Jiang Zhuozhuo said: "Even if I can draw a bow, I'm still a novice in front of the experts!"
Old Lu said, "You are quite self-aware."
Jiang Zhuozhuo:.
As he was talking, Jiang Zhuozhuo had already tried to draw the bow according to Lao Lu's demonstration.
Compared to his previous sub-healthy state when he couldn't even finish running 800 meters, Jiang Zhuozhuo's work and rest and diet have been normal recently. He also takes strength-enhancing barley at every meal. Now he can pull the bow... easily!
Jiang Zhuozhuo was extremely surprised.
The reason why people avoid something is often because they find it difficult to gain a sense of accomplishment from it.
For example, exercise is the enemy of fragile college students who stay up late all day reading novels and playing games!
It’s not that college students don’t want to exercise, but many of them are worried about not being able to pass physical tests.
With such a physical condition, I feel very tired after just the slightest movement!
But the less you move, the worse your physical condition becomes.
The vicious cycle continues!
It’s different now, she can even pull a bow!
She can hold such a heavy bow steadily and pull it easily!
She, Jiang Zhuozhuo, is no longer the fragile girl she used to be!

Seeing that Jiang Zhuozhuo could draw the bow smoothly, Old Lu demonstrated a few moves to her, then stuffed a bag of white feather arrows into her hand and let her play with it.
Jiang Zhuozhuo asked curiously, "Why do some of these arrows have three feathers and some have four?"
Old Lu said, "Because these were all used by my daughter for practice. Before she had used them all, she thought they flew too slowly, so she changed them to double-feathered arrows and featherless arrows."
The feathers on the arrow are used to improve the stability of the arrow. Generally speaking, white feathers installed on all four sides have the best accuracy. The disadvantage is... it flies very slowly. If used for hunting, the prey would probably have run away tens of thousands of miles away.
Featherless arrows fly the fastest, but their accuracy is extremely poor, which really tests the archer's judgment. Generally, only very skilled archers dare to use this.
Jiang Zhuozhuo knew that he was being looked down upon, but he didn't take it to heart at all.
She is a newbie!
Jiang Zhuozhuo was amazed at another thing: "You actually have a daughter!"
Old Lu:.
What are you talking about, you little bird?
Why can't I have a daughter? Back then, I was also very popular!
Jiang Zhuozhuo asked curiously: "Why didn't she come with you?"
Old Lu said, "What kind of place do you think this is? And she's already grown up, how could she still live with her parents?"
This is also one of the natures of birds. Generally, they will spontaneously leave their parents when they grow up. Even if they choose to live in groups, they will just build their houses closer together.
Speaking of which, although Old Lu has made countless enemies in the imperial capital, his daughter is very popular.
It's a pity that... he is too popular and often gets involved in some scandalous news. Those old guys hate him more and more, which is also related to the fact that his daughter has played with so many male birds.
After all, there are quite a lot of their children and grandchildren among them.
There's no need to tell this kind of thing to a kid. He probably won't believe it even if you tell him.
Jiang Zhuozhuo said: "If you miss her, you can take a vacation occasionally and go back to see her."
Old Lu said, "Whether you think of anything or not, there's not much to talk about when we meet."
Each family has its own way of getting along, and Jiang Zhuozhuo did not persuade her any more. She took the novice feather arrow and started playing with it with great interest, not disliking that it was for children to play with bows and arrows.
By the time they were about to set off the next day, Jiang Zhuozhuo was already able to use three feather arrows.
Huge progress!
Hearing Jiang Zhuozhuo share this "great news", Maine and Lao Lu couldn't help but twitch their lips, and tacitly did not discourage her enthusiasm.
Old Lu refused to ride in Jiang Zhuozhuo's fancy carriage, and rode his winged horse with the knights.
Some of the knights carried supplies, while others pulled carriages, and they set off in an orderly manner towards the Red Leaf Province.
Jiang Zhuozhuo felt very curious as he sat in his own carriage that could be used for both land and air.
Although she was thrown into this marginal province to live a life of idleness and wait for death, she still received all the good things she deserved.
Given her condition in the imperial capital, she probably had no idea what she could take with her.
Main must have fought for her.
What would she do without Maine?
She must exceed the foreign trade tasks assigned to her by Maine and strive to empty the pockets of all the wealthy people in Hongye Province!
Jiang Zhuozhuo made this promise solemnly in his heart.
Unfortunately, the long-distance flight was too boring and Jiang Zhuozhuo couldn't stay in the carriage for half a day.
She turned into a small round bird and flew out of the carriage, sometimes landing on the head of Old Lu's winged horse to chat with him, sometimes jumping onto Knight Commander Jude's winged horse to look at the gorgeous sea of clouds in front, and sometimes... diving into the thunderclouds, ruining herself like a pitiful drowned bird.
Old Lu: “…”
I strongly suspect that Maine didn't agree to come along because he didn't want to see this little bastard making trouble all day long.
