Jiaochu

Chapter 28: Testing in the martial arts field ([-])
"cough!"

Su Shi was about to release the arrow when Chen Ping coughed deliberately and the arrow missed the target.

When Su Shi shot the second arrow, Chen Ping deliberately sneezed again. This time the arrow was slightly off the target, and Rong Jue felt bad. When Su Shi shot the third arrow, he deliberately missed Su Shi's arrow. , pretending to apologize to Su Shi.

With a snap, a bamboo bow hit Rong Jue on his waist. Rong Jue turned his head in frustration, only to find that it was Ye Lingxi.

"Keep your back straight."

Ye Lingxi looked like a strict teacher preaching from a young adult, then ran behind Chen Ping and hit him on the waist with a bamboo bow, told him the same words, and stayed to supervise him.

Being stared closely at by Ye Lingxi's big and discerning eyes, the two of them did not dare to do anything wrong.

I don't know whether it was because of a guilty conscience or nervousness, but Chen Ping missed the next shot.

After all ten arrows were fired, Mr. De read the results loudly.

"Young Master Yan hits all ten arrows, Young Master Zhou hits nine arrows, Young Master Zhao hits eight arrows, Young Master Su hits eight arrows, Young Master Hu hits eight arrows... Young Master Rong hits six arrows... Young Master Jin hits three arrows …Young Master Chen missed the mark.”

As soon as Eunuch De finished reciting, Ye Lingxi pestered Ye Lanchen like candy and said, "Father, I want to draw a big turtle."

Chen Ping was so embarrassed that his ears were as red as if they were being grilled on charcoal fire, and white smoke was almost coming out.

"Your Majesty, can you copy books instead?" Chen Ping's cautious voice sounded like a mosquito humming, not daring to raise his head at all.

Ye Lingxi knew that her father would never allow her to actually draw a turtle on the face of an official's son. If word spread, it would cause countless gossips, but she could not take advantage of him, so she said: "Don't copy the book, draw a turtle, you have to If you draw a hundred turtles, it doesn’t count if the painting doesn’t look good.”

Drawing on paper is better than drawing on the face, and Chen Ping did not object.

"The painted turtle must look good to the princess, otherwise it will be repainted." Yan Fei said.

"Brother Yan is right. If it doesn't look good, it needs to be repainted." Ye Ling said sharply.

Chen Ping: "..." This is a partnership to trick him~
Ye Lanchen smiled and said to Yan Fei, "What reward do you want?"

Yan Fei replied: "Fei wants to teach the princess archery."

Ye Lingxi: "..." Why are two of them coming to join in the fun?
Ye Lanchen smiled again, "How come you are taking on errands and don't want rewards anymore?"

Yanfei replied: "Fei's ability to teach the princess is a reward."

Ye Lanchen thought for a moment, glanced at Ye Lingxi and Yan Fei, suddenly smiled, and gave some instructions to Commander Wu.

A quarter of an hour later, Wu Tong led his people to bring ten birdcages. There were small golden bells tied to the feet of the ten pigeons, which made a clear and sweet sound.

Ye Lanchen said two rules, one is that shooting the bell will not hurt the birds, and the other is that time is like a stick of incense.

After Ye Lingjue and Yan Fei were ready, Commander Wu asked someone to open the birdcage at the same time.

Ten homing pigeons fluttered into the air, and the sound of golden bells came and went, making people dazzled and unable to aim.

A hint of golden flash came into the corner of Yan Fei's eyes. He quickly drew his bow and released the arrow. He only heard the crisp sound of the arrow grazing the bell. A golden bell fell to the ground, while the homing pigeon was unharmed and hovered in the air several times. Then he flew back to the birdcage.

Almost at the same time, another golden bell also fell to the ground.

A pair of beautiful and cold peach blossom eyes met another pair of eyes as cold as cold stars, as if they were meeting an opponent.
