Chapter 105

Moreover, if she were to continue to display her archery skills, it might cause Ye Lanji to be shocked and look at her in a different light. Of course, the most important thing was that she could completely defeat Tang Kexin and cause her to suffer a crushing defeat.

The group followed the emperor out of the great hall and into a special area set up by the imperial harem.

"Come, which one of you is going to compete with General Gu?" The Emperor's eyes surveyed the crowd and directly spoke. It was clear that the Emperor's interest at this moment was not bad.

"Everyone knows that General Gu's archery skills are peerless in this world. Who dares to compare with General Gu?" Some people secretly shook their heads and didn't dare to move forward.

"Yeah, once General Gu makes a move, we don't even need to compare."

"This is only for entertainment at the moment, there is no need to be so serious. I have come to give it a try." The emperor had already stepped forward, picked up the arrow, gestured, and then let go. The arrow in his hand flew straight out, striking the center of the arrow rake in front of him.

"Your Majesty's archery skills are excellent, this subject admires it." Gu Xiuran's respectful tone held a trace of admiration. It had to be said that the Emperor's archery skills were indeed quite good.

Gu Xiuran was the youngest general of the Great Yuan Empire. At the age of fifteen, he went to war with Feng Hou. At the age of twenty, he acted as a commander by himself, repelling the enemy and making a name for himself.

Currently, he was only twenty-five or twenty-six years old, but he had already accomplished several meritorious deeds. Every time, it was a complete victory.

Right now, he had almost reached the point where he could make his enemies tremble in fear upon hearing his name.

However, although he was a general, he had a graceful, refined, and extraordinarily handsome appearance.

It was said that countless girls wanted to marry her.

"Come, you." The Emperor handed the bow in his hand to Gu Xiuran. "Of course I can't compare to you. The others don't dare to compete with you, so you have to do it yourself. Seeing you shoot the arrows is definitely something exciting. I haven't seen you do it in a long time."

"As you command." Gu Xiuran respectfully replied and took the bow from the emperor.

For a time, everyone's eyes looked at him, and even Ye Lanjue raised his gaze to look at him.

Tang Kexin's eyes flashed. From the looks of it, General Gu really had great archery skills.

However, in the distance, the guard took the target away. Tang Ke was feeling quite baffled when he saw the guard step a few meters back and set up a bamboo pole. Then, he tied a dozen small rings around the bamboo pole.

At that moment, the distance was very far, and the small ring was also small. From that position, it was almost impossible to see the hole in the middle of the ring.

Tang Ke secretly let out a sigh of relief. Could General Gu be planning to shoot the hole in the ring?

This difficulty level was so high that ordinary people were definitely unable to do it.

Because not only was it far away, the cave entrance was small, and the ring hanging on the simple bamboo pole was also swaying, depending on the size of the wind.

How was this going to hit?

Gu Xiuran slowly walked forward, and without taking any aim, he directly let go of his hand. The arrow in his hand flew out directly towards the ring.

At this moment, the crowd subconsciously held their breaths. Their eyes were wide open as they stared without blinking.

The first arrow was accurately aimed at the center of the ring.

Suddenly, gasps could be heard from the crowd. Of course, those gasps were filled with absolute shock and admiration.

Tang Kexin's face was filled with astonishment. This person was too powerful. If he were in the modern world, he would definitely be a Sharpshooter.

If he were to participate in the Olympic Games in modern times, he would definitely be first.

As Tang Kexin pondered, Gu Xiuran had already shot a few arrows. Each arrow was aimed at the center of the ring, and not a single one had been missed.

Because she grew up in a military home, her father had taught her how to train with the spear ever since she was young. After work, because she sometimes had special needs, she would often train with it.

However, she had never seen a person's spear skills reach the level that Gu Xiuran did.

At this moment, even if she were to use a gun, it would be very hard for her to hit him.

At this moment, Tang Kexin's gaze towards Gu Xiuran had a hint of admiration in it, as she stared unblinkingly at Gu Xiuran.

However, just as she was looking seriously, a figure suddenly appeared in front of her, blocking her line of sight.

Tang Ke's heart slightly furrowed. Without even looking at the person, he quickly moved his body and adjusted his angle to continue watching.

Ye LanJue's eyes clearly sunk. This woman was actually looking at Gu Xiuran with such a serious expression, and with such adoration as well.

It was the first time he had seen her stare at a man.

Looking at her eyes, his heart felt particularly uncomfortable.

She had never looked at him with that kind of gaze before, could it be that he couldn't compare to Gu Xiuran?

Ye Lanjue's body quickly flashed, once again blocking in front of her.

"You blocked me, get out of the way." This time, Tang Ke felt a bit impatient. Why was this person so unconscious? Why did he have to stand in front of her? If he wanted to look, wouldn't others look?

At this moment, she was completely focused and didn't even look around. She didn't even pay attention to who was in front of her and just used her hand to open him up.

All of a sudden, the Third Prince's face completely darkened. She had been looking at him very seriously, and had become infatuated with him. He had stood in front of her twice, but she hadn't seen him at all.

"You want This King to move out of the way?" The third prince gritted his teeth and gritted his teeth.

"Huh?" Hearing his voice, Tang Ke Xin withdrew her gaze and looked at him. Seeing that the one standing in front of her was the third prince, the corners of her mouth twitched. "Sorry, I didn't see that it was the third prince."

It was fine if she didn't say these words, but now that she said them, Ye LanJue's expression became even darker.

He just stood there in front of her. Twice, she actually didn't see him, and at this moment, even spoke so matter-of-factly?!

"General Gu is indeed good at archery." At this moment, the emperor's praising voice suddenly came over.

"Aiya, it's all over. I didn't see the most exciting part." Tang Kexin's eyes once again looked over. There was a hint of pity on her face. She had just missed the most exciting moment.

"Looks good?" Ye Lanji fiercely breathed out, he only wished he could strangle her to death. Did this woman have a heart?

"Of course." This was way more exciting than those pieces of zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting; it was really beautiful. No wonder the emperor said that watching General Gu shoot arrows was a very exciting thing. It really wasn't fake at all.

This was the first time she had seen an archery skill like this. Moreover, she would probably never see another opportunity like this ever again.

Ye Lanjue's eyes narrowed as he stared straight at her. Was this woman saying that other men looked good in front of him?

And he answered it so boldly?

"Brother Gu's archery is getting more and more powerful." Feng Qingyan suddenly spoke. As she spoke, she slowly walked to Gu Xiuran's side. The corner of her lips slightly raised as a smile blossomed on her face. "This shooting seems to be quite fun, I want to play as well."

"This isn't something that a girl should play. Girls just need to sing, play the zither, and dance." Imperial Concubine Ming smiled slightly.

"Yeah, which girl touched these things?" It was also true that no girl would touch these things.

"Miss Tang, why don't we try this?" Feng Qingyan suddenly turned around and looked at Tang Kexin. Although her voice was gentle, the provocation was especially obvious.

"Girls don't even know how to touch this thing. I've never touched it either. Miss Tang, why don't we just play with it?" Feng Qingyan had already made up her mind that Tang Ke would make a fool of himself, so she purposefully concealed the fact that she knew how to shoot arrows.

Of course, the concealment that Feng Qingyan purposely made at this moment would be even more shocking.

Tang Kexin only needed a single glance to see that Feng Qingyan was lying. She could tell that he knew how to shoot arrows, or that his skills were not bad.

In modern times, although she had never shot a bow before, she was still very accurate. Of course, she had also shot other arrows. Although she had never touched a bow before, it was still not too difficult for her.

Gu Xiuran's eyes flashed slightly as the corner of his lips slightly moved. He seemed to want to say something, but when he looked at Feng Qingyan's face, he did not say it in the end.

"I didn't think that Qingyan would have such courage. However, this thing isn't for show. You might even hurt yourself. Moreover, this bow is not something you can pull." The emperor's eyebrows slightly raised as he smiled half-heartedly.

"Qingyan is not afraid, Qingyan just wants to try. I don't know if Miss Tang would dare to do that?" Feng Qingyan's eyes looked at Tang Kexin with a hint of provocation.

Ye Lan Jue's eyes clearly became cold.

"This is not a joke, what if something happens? "Miss Feng should still pay attention to her safety." The emperor's face also visibly darkened, and his voice was clearly a little more severe.

However, Tang Ke smiled in his heart. She knew that Feng Qingyan had set her eyes on her today. She must be embarrassed, she must be humiliated.

Furthermore, since Feng Qingxi had already said this much, it would not be good if she did not accept. It was as if she was truly afraid of Feng Qingyan.

Of course, she was still more interested in competing in archery.

"Alright, let's give it a try." Tang Ke's heart also slightly moved forward. There was a smile on his face. It was so calm that he couldn't see anything out of the ordinary.

"Xin'er?" The empress was shocked and could not help but call out softly.

"Since Miss Feng is not afraid, then so is your heart." Tang Ke looked at the empress with a gentle smile. Although that smile was light, it was filled with absolute confidence.

The empress was stunned and did not say another word.

Ye Lan Jue's eyebrows twitched. This woman knew how to shoot arrows?

Since both of you have agreed, then let's give it a try." Seeing that Tang Kexin had agreed, a smile appeared in the emperor's eyes. "Help them change to a smaller bow and arrows, bring the target closer, then move it closer.

The emperor also thought about the two girls and thought that they definitely wouldn't understand this, so he had the imperial guards move the target closer.

Everyone's faces were filled with anticipation. Who knew who would emerge victorious next?

However, this was most likely a matter of luck.

"Miss Tang, who will go first?" Seeing that she had agreed, Feng Qingxi was secretly happy in her heart as she repeatedly said this, as if she was afraid that Tang Kexin would go back on her words.

"You first." Tang Kexin continued to smile faintly. Her voice was light and gentle, making it difficult to discern her emotions.

"Alright." Feng Qingyan replied with a light smile, but her lips pulled back in ridicule. She dared to say that Tang Kexin had never even touched an arrow before. She definitely would not shoot, and would definitely not be able to shoot.

At that time, she wanted to see what face Tang Kexin had left.

She wanted Tang Kexin to lose all face in front of Ye Bainian. She wanted to see if Ye Bainian would treat Tang Kexin like this.
