Chapter 263 Arrow Competition

Murong Jing stood in the school grounds, smiled, bowed to the emperor, and said: "Your Majesty, since you have already experienced your country's swordsmanship, there must be nothing new in the comparison. Why don't you continue with another one?" Discuss?"

The emperor's face was dark, but he had no choice but to agree: "I don't know what Prince Murong wants to discuss?"

Murong Jing looked sideways at the whole row of archery targets, and said: "Gu has always heard that people from Beiming are good at archery. Today I am lucky to be in Beiming, so I naturally want to learn a thing or two."

"This……"

The emperor hesitated. Lin Qingwu, who was sitting on the seat, took a peek at Qin Zihao who was beside him. She had seen Qin Zihao shoot an arrow.

I thought to myself that Qin Ziyan had lost face to Beiming Kingdom just now, if Qin Zihao won back face for Beiming, the emperor would be very happy and reward him.

Lin Qingwu stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I think the prince's archery skills are good, why don't you let the prince compete with Prince Murong?"

Concubine Shu heard the words, and said in agreement: "Yes, the emperor, it is better to let Zihao try it. I remember that when Zihao was young, the emperor taught him how to archery. You praised him for his talent."

The queen snorted, and said: "That was when I was a child, so many years have passed, whether I can hold a bow or not is another matter."

Concubine Shu smiled sweetly, "My sister doesn't know something, but Zihao has always kept the emperor's teachings in mind. Whenever he has free time, he will practice archery and horseback riding in the martial arts training ground in the mansion, and he has never failed."

The emperor said: "Is that so?"

"Back to the emperor, what the concubine said is absolutely true."

Hearing this, the emperor nodded in relief, and said, "Okay, since that's the case, how about letting Zi Hao come and learn how to shoot arrows with Prince Murong?"

Qin Zihao immediately stood up from the desk, walked up to the emperor, and said, "Your servant obeys!"

The emperor said "um", very satisfied.

When the queen saw her, resentment flashed across her eyes. Although she felt resentful in her heart, the emperor had already spoken, and she dared not say anything more.

Lin Qingqian shook her head, thinking: This Qin Zihao is the one who went up to give away the head again.

The emperor said to Li Quan, the head of the eunuchs: "Let people prepare bows and arrows!"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Li Quan was about to order people to prepare bows and arrows, when Murong Jing suddenly said, "Wait a minute."

"I don't know what other orders Prince Murong has?"

"Please bring two more horses. Archery alone is nothing new. Wouldn't it be more interesting to shoot arrows on horseback if they hit all-around shots?"

As soon as Murong Jing's words came out, everyone was in an uproar, and the expression on Qin Zihao's face changed.

This archery on horseback can hit the bull's-eye, and this archery technique requires excellent riding skills.

Li Quan looked at the emperor and Qin Zihao in bewilderment. The emperor was angry and annoyed. He was afraid that if he hadn't cared about the alliance between the two countries, he would want to curse Murong Jing. Comparing arrows with arrows, he had to pull out so much This mess, can you stop it!
Maybe the emperor scolded Murong Jing from head to toe in his heart, and then managed to calm down, and said: "Do as Prince Murong says."

Li Quandao: "The servant obeys."

Li Quan ordered people to prepare horses and bows and arrows. Seeing that Murong Jing was still calm and calm, Qin Zihao couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

Taking advantage of no one's attention, Concubine Shu quickly looked at Lin Langtian, Lin Langtian slightly nodded at him, and then she looked away, with a confident smile on her face.

Lin Qingqian also stared at Murong Jing curiously, wondering if her gaze was too focused, Murong Jing suddenly tilted his head, and the two looked at each other, this time he didn't withdraw quickly, but smiled at Lin Qingqian.

Lin Qingqian frowned slightly, feeling suspicious in her heart.

She... doesn't know this Prince Murong, does she?His smile just now...was he greeting her?
Lin Qingqian was puzzled, but before she could figure it out, the horse, bow and arrow were all ready.

Qin Zihao said: "Prince Murong please first."

Murong Jing didn't shirk, and replied: "Okay."

Murong Jing took the bow and arrow handed over by the eunuch, got on his horse, and with a "drive", he rode the horse to a place a few feet away from the archery target, then turned the horse's head, narrowed his eyes and looked at the entire row of archery targets, he The pupils shrank slightly, and the horse's stomach was pinched between his legs, and the horse started to gallop.

On horseback, Murong Jing drew his bow and set his arrow, and with a "swish", the arrow hit the bull's-eye.

Murong Jing quickly tightened the bow again, and shot another arrow, which still hit the bull's-eye accurately.

Except for the people from West Chu Kingdom and Lin Qingqian, everyone present showed a surprised expression. Who would have thought that Murong Jing, who is as weak as a scholar, is so good at martial arts, riding, and archery!

Out of the ten targets, Murong Jing has already hit seven of them, and they are about to hit all of them. Lin Langtian's eyes drooped slightly, and with a slight movement of his hand hidden in his sleeve, a silver needle invisible to the naked eye shot towards the horse's front hooves. go.

The horse neighed and fell to the ground.

Gao Qixuan shouted worriedly: "His Royal Highness!"

Murong Jing slapped the horse with a palm, jumped up, and quickly drew his arrows and bow in the air. The remaining three arrows all hit the bull's-eye, and he landed on the ground calmly, while the horse had already run away because of fright.

When Murong Jing returned to the crowd, the emperor and others recovered from the shock.

The emperor pursed his lips and said: "I never thought that Prince Murong is so skilled. I have never seen anyone with such skills as Prince Murong."

Murong Jing said: "Your Majesty the Emperor is absurd. I have always heard that Prince Hao of the Beiming Kingdom is capable of both civil and martial arts. Gu's three-legged cat kung fu, which cannot be put on the table, is not worth mentioning in front of Prince Hao."

"How could it be that Prince Murong is being modest..."

"What I say is what I say from my heart."

Qin Zihao's face turned very ugly. Murong Jing deliberately dug a hole for him to jump down. He couldn't get on the stage. If he lost to Murong Jing later, what would happen?Isn't it something that can't be compared to the table? !
Everyone in the room reacted, but Murong Jing still pretended to be stupid, and said with a smile: "Prince Hao, please, I can't wait to see Prince Hao's demeanor."

Shen Fei curled his lips, and said in a low voice: "Prince Murong is too pushy, he even pretended to admire Beiming Kingdom very much, even if the Emperor is angry..."

Lin Qingqian suddenly remembered one thing, remembering that Gu Changgeng once said that he could hit the bull's-eye even if he was blindfolded.

She lowered her eyes and stared at the apple in front of her, her mind moving slightly.

She turned her head and asked in a low voice: "Brother Chang Geng, you said that you can hit a bull's-eye even if you are blindfolded, right?"

Just now Lin Qingqian had been staring at Murong Jing shooting arrows, Gu Changgeng was completely watching and was slightly displeased.

He said "hmm" and said, "Blindfolded on horseback, I can still shoot."

Lin Qingqian picked up an apple, "How about fruit instead?"

Gu Changgeng glanced at the fruit in her hand, and said, "The fruit is bigger than the bull's-eye, so it is naturally easier."

She raised the corner of her mouth, "Then it will be easy to handle."

Su Yingxue was confused by Lin Qingqian's words, "Qingqian, why do you ask this?"

"I use it myself."
