Rebirth of the Splendid Phoenix

Chapter 42 I admit defeat

"I'll just shoot him, and you can point at anyone among my guards, and the two of us will be more accurate than whoever shoots!"

Princess Yong'an's eyes were unusually bright.

She didn't forget who blocked her first arrow, and thought that if it wasn't for that arrow being blocked, Xie Jinhua would have lost face by now, how could she be so arrogant and make herself ashamed.

For a moment, there was undisguised malice in Qin Zheng's eyes.

"What? You dare not?"

Princess Yong'an watched Xie Jinhua's silence for a long time, chuckled lightly, turned the bow and arrow in her hand, and raised her lips slightly: "Second Miss Xie, if you lose the bet, you have to agree to the winner."

Xie Jinhua looked at Princess Yong'an, his complexion turned into ice, and he suddenly hooked his lips: "Then I don't know what Princess Yong'an's so-called accurate word is, how to calculate it?"

"Of course they ran in front, and we chased after them on horseback. Whoever makes the prey immobile first will win."

Princess Yong'an used to play this kind of trick secretly when she was bored, but the ones who shot were all maids without status. At first, she was afraid to avoid taboos, but later on, because no one found out and scolded her, she became more and more courageous. , Deep down in her heart, she felt that she was the heir of the royal family, and letting those people practice arrows with her was to think highly of them.

At this moment, being pressed by Xie Jinhua, she directly said this method, but she didn't realize that after she said her so-called shooting method, the guards around her who were originally protecting showed disgust on their faces.

And those few women who were a little alienated from Princess Yong'an couldn't help showing fear on their faces, and retreated one after another.

Princess Yong'an is clearly playing with her life.

"Xie Jinhua, you dare to fight!"

Princess Yong'an drew a sharp arrow and pointed at Xie Jinhua's eyebrows, her face was full of provocation.

"I surrender!"

The smile on the corners of Xie Jinhua's lips was still raised, and there was no trace of timidity on his beautiful, peach-like face, but he said these three words clearly.

Princess Yong'an was stunned, and even the princes and ladies around who were watching the show were also a little stunned.

No one thought that after being provocative like Princess Yong'an, she would say "I admit defeat".

It's like a fist ready to go, hitting the soft cotton, many young masters feel a little bit uncomfortable.

Although Princess Yong'an's method is cruel, women can't bear to watch it, and the guards who are selected as prey don't want to watch it, but it will not delay the interest of some young masters.

"Second Miss Xie, why did you admit defeat so quickly? Are you really afraid that Her Royal Highness will fail?"

"In vain, I thought you, Miss Xie, were bolder than ordinary women."

"Second Miss Xie, I support you!"

I don't know the so-called shouts one after another.

The astonishment on Princess Yong'an's face disappeared, and she became complacent. She raised her chin and looked down at Xie Jinhua from the corner of her eyes: "Are you really afraid that I will fail?"

When Qin Zheng heard those shouts against Xie Jinhua, especially when he saw Princess Yong'an's proud look, his eyes sank, and he stepped forward.

It's just being the prey for the time being, and who will really become the prey to be slaughtered depends on the skill.

Xie Jinhua always pays attention to Qin Zheng's movements, and when he sees Qin Zheng's movement, he can tell what the other party is thinking. It doesn't matter if you are cruel, I will naturally admit defeat."

The sound of stopping was directed at Qin Zheng, but everyone thought it was directed at Princess Yong'an who was galloping forward.

Xie Jinhua's eyes seemed to contain swords and swords, and he glanced at the young masters who kept making noises, sneered, and did not hide his contempt: "I will learn the art of archery, horseback riding and archery for the purpose of strengthening my body; The second is the heart of admiring martial arts; the third is to always remember the glory of the ancestors of Daqing who will soon win the world, and not forget the glory of the ancestors; the fourth is to stand up for the usefulness of the country."

"Even if you don't do the first three, it's purely for fun. There are countless prey in the hunting grounds in the forest, and when will you use the lives of innocent people for fun?"

"If you really want to practice shooting people, you can go to the border battlefield, when the enemy's foreign soldiers are defending your home and defending the country. Shooting people here is a joy, and this is a shame for the world."

Xie Jinhua's words were fluent and sonorous, and it was obviously a clear voice that moved the soul, but at the moment it seemed to be full of clank, which made those young masters who didn't know what to say and yelled before unconsciously shut up.

Many people even showed a little shame on their faces. The eyes they looked at Xie Jinhua were not just looking at a beautiful woman, but something else.

Princess Yong'an saw that Xie Jinhua yelled to admit defeat, but still became the focus of the audience, and felt that her anger was rising.

I can't let the other party talk anymore, Princess Yong'an only has this thought in her heart.

"Xie Jinhua, even if you are eloquent and talkative, you just dare not compete with me. I have never been to border battlefields, let alone you. Don't talk about how great you are. , you don’t want to part with the servants around you, but I am. You, come out, and let Miss Xie’s second see what real blood is!”

Princess Yong'an pointed at a young guard in her guard group, and ordered loudly.

The young guard froze, his downcast eyes were filled with grief and anger.

The guards around him showed a sense of sorrow, but they were Princess Yong'an's guards, and no one dared to disobey her face to face.

The guard walked out step by step, and saw that he had reached the middle position, distanced himself from Princess Yong'an.

"Xie Jinhua, use him to compare which of our arrows is faster!"

Princess Yong'an slammed down the horse, the horse raised its hooves backwards, and her body bent slightly on the horse, turned around and pulled the bowstring away, and a long arrow flew towards the leg of the guard who was coming this way like a shuttle. If you shoot all the arrows, that arrow will not kill people, but if you are not careful, it will make people disabled.

Whether turning around to shoot an arrow, or keeping her body balanced while raising her hooves, Princess Yong'an's arrow technique does have some merits, but her behavior makes people disagree.

Xie Jinhua raised his eyebrows, and slightly lowered the bow and arrow that had been lying flat in his hand. A long arrow rested on the bow behind his back, and the light string was plucked. I would like to draw an arrow and hit the right, with a ding, the two long arrows landed at the same time.

Princess Yong'an's inevitable desire to show off was destroyed by Xie Jinhua. She gritted her teeth tightly and stretched her hand behind her back to shoot a second arrow. Xie Jinhua's second arrow had already arrived in front of her.

The sharp point of the arrow kept zooming in front of her eyes, Princess Yong'an turned pale with fright, she wanted to dodge, but she was too late.

She never expected that Xie Jinhua would really dare to shoot an arrow at herself.

Amidst the exclamation of many people, Princess Yong'an only felt a shock in her wrist, the fully drawn bowstring cut her fingers, and there was a ding sound on the strong bow, and she fell to the ground involuntarily.

Xie Jinhua's riding and archery skills shown earlier are very high, but many men present feel that they are better than her, that is to say, they are considered top-notch among women.

But the last arrow that hit the bow in Princess Yong'an's hand made those men unable to help admiring.

That arrow, no matter it is accuracy, mentality, or courage, is indispensable. There are very few people who can do it on the scene, and they can be like Xie Jin's paintings, and even fewer dare to shoot arrows at Princess Yong'an.

"Her Royal Highness's bloodiness is really admirable by the courtiers. I am afraid of facing long arrows, but I let others become prey in vain. What's more, the guards around Her Royal Highness have protected the princess. Faced with the killing intent of wild beasts at a time of danger, Her Royal Highness should also consider hard work, regardless of credit, and treat the people around her like this, and she will not be afraid of chilling people's hearts!"

Since Princess Yong'an said that she wanted Qin Zheng to be her prey, and later said the cruel hunting method, Xie Jinhua took a deep breath in his heart.

Not only did she want to teach Princess Yong'an a little bit of verbal lessons, she wanted to make her completely lose face and lose her heart.

Xie Jinhua's voice is clear, her eyebrows are sharp, and many people dare not look into her eyes at this moment, but they can't help but stare at this increasingly dazzling beauty.

But the guards in each family, especially the guards around Princess Yong'an looked at Xie Jinhua with kindness in their eyes.

The princes, young masters and ladies look like gold and jade on the outside, but in fact, there are really not a few princesses like Yong'an.

Princess Yong'an sat on the horse in a daze, clutching her bleeding fingertips, listening to Xie Jinhua's righteous criticism, feeling the scrutinizing gazes around her, her complexion turned green and pale.

She opened her mouth to defend herself, but she didn't know what to say to overwhelm Xie Jinhua. She turned her head and looked around. The guards and maids around her were still there, but they all lowered their heads, not daring or not wanting to look at her. .

Isn't it okay to shoot people in the past?

Even though he was surrounded by many people, he seemed to be alone in a world of ice and snow.

She is a royal princess, why would Xie Jinhua let her be such an adult.

Princess Yong'an gritted her teeth and looked at Xie Jinhua, her eyes were flushed, full of grievance and resentment: "Xie Jinhua blatantly hurts this princess, and intends to harm my princess, someone, come and take Xie Jinhua down!"

Since he can't fight with his mouth and has been defeated repeatedly in riding and shooting, he can directly use his power to suppress him.

Princess Yong'an lost her mind.

The guards beside Princess Yong'an reluctantly went up to Xie Jinhua's side.

What Xie Jinhua said, they most agreed with it.

Especially the young guard who was rescued by Xie Jinhua with an arrow, his eyes were full of guilt and dissatisfaction.

The guards of the Shangshu Mansion behind Xie Jinhua changed their expressions drastically, they hesitated but did not dare to step forward to protect her.

Qin Zheng stood in front of Xie Jinhua first, and Baihe stood in front of her second. Baixiang hesitated, and stood beside Xie Jinhua.

Seeing Princess Yong'an's bodyguards approaching, the leading one even whispered: "Miss Xie Er, forgive me." Then he went to pull Xie Jinhua.

Qin Zheng raised his hand slightly.

Xie Jinhua put his hand on his shoulder: "Don't worry, Her Royal Highness can't cover the sky with one hand."

Today, I just didn't want to participate in the invitation to the racecourse that Xie Shangshu paid attention to, and it was just right to be taken away.

As for Princess Yong'an lynching herself?
Xie Jinhua wasn't worried, there were so many people present, not all of them were dead.

Glancing at the guards brought by his own home, Xie Jinhua turned his head and didn't say a word, instead of asking for their protection, it made those guards look ashamed.

There were two who admired Xie Jinhua's words just now, and even couldn't help but took two steps forward.

Qin Zheng clenched his fists: "I am the one who serves Miss, take me away together."

No matter what, he has to protect Xie Jinhua personally.

Princess Yong'an saw that Xie Jinhua hadn't been arrested yet, she frowned fiercely, opened her mouth and shouted: "Trash, you can't be happy even with a woman, what use is this princess asking you to do?"

Xie Jinhua thought to himself that nothing would happen to him, but Qin Zheng was different, how could he be taken away with him.

Xie Jinhua frowned, and was about to say something.

There was a sudden burst of noise in the distance.

The next moment, Xie Jinhua heard a majestic voice: "Yong'an, is this your bearing as a royal princess?"

Princess Yong'an opened her mouth wide, and looked in the direction of the voice in disbelief.

The old man dressed in bright yellow, who was surrounded by a group of people, was clearly...
"The courtiers and courtiers kowtow to His Majesty, long live, long live, long live!"

Xie Jinhua pulled Qin Zheng, and knelt down on the ground together with many people around who had reacted.

"Father."

Princess Yong'an's complexion was as pale as paper for an instant.
