Chapter 65
At this moment, the carriage that Prince Niwa was riding passed by, the breeze blew up the curtain, and Prince Niwa looked up and down at Yu Songling unscrupulously from the gap.Yu Songling was disgusted in his heart, but his face remained calm, he lowered his head and whispered something in Princess Qingyu's ear, which made the princess laugh like a silver bell.He glanced sideways at Prince Dan Yu, but felt that his face was covered with frost, and the smile in the corner of Yu Songling's eyes became stronger.
A few days later, it was the annual hunting competition of the Yan Kingdom. Prince Dan Yu invited Yu Songling to go with him, and Yu Songling readily accepted.On the field, Niwa made no mistakes and won rounds of applause.Yu Songling just watched, smiled without saying a word.
"How does Cousin Ling think of my archery skills?" Dan Yu drove the horse to Yu Songling and asked proudly.
"Very good." Yu Songling smiled politely, but her tone was perfunctory.
"What? You don't like hunting?" Niwa asked with raised eyebrows.
"I like it, but here is either a rabbit or a deer. There is no prey that arouses my interest." Yu Songling said regretfully.
"Oh? It seems that Cousin Ling is also a good hunter. Since you have said so, follow me to Yuwan Mountain."
"Beasts haunt Yuwan Mountain all the year round, and it's very dangerous. You'd better not take risks." Emperor Yan said worriedly.
"Father Emperor." Prince Dan Yu interrupted him, "Since Cousin Ling has brought it up, how can he spoil the interest of the guests and lose the demeanor of the host." Whip the horse and run to Yuwan Mountain.
As the name suggests, Yuwan Mountain is a bowl-shaped mountain range. Due to the cold climate in Yan Country and the snowfall all year round, the mountain is covered with white snow.Because of its steep terrain, it has also become a habitat for many beasts.
"Look, Snow Leopard!" A guard pointed to the mountainside and shouted.Sure enough, a leopard with gray fur mixed with black spots was looking at them, and everyone drew their bows to aim, but the distance was too far, and the horse couldn't climb the steep mountainside, so they had to give up in the end.
Hearing the sound of "嗖", Yu Songling strung the arrow and drew the bow to the full. With the release of his right hand, an arrow shot towards the snow leopard with the sound of wind.With a howl, the arrow hit the center of the eyebrow.
Chengying jumped up from the horseback, climbed up the mountainside at a faster speed than the leopard, turned the leopard's body over, drew his sword, and retracted it.A complete piece of leopard skin was already held in his hand.
With lightness kung fu, Cheng Ying quickly stood in front of Yu Songling, knelt down on one knee, and raised the leopard skin above her head with both hands.
"So light work! Such a fast speed!" The crowd whispered.
"How did you manage to hit it from such a long distance?! What an amazing arrow!" Another group of people sighed.
"I have come to Yan Country to bother you for many days. I hope His Majesty will accept this small gesture of kindness." Yu Songling offered the leopard skin to Emperor Yan.
Emperor Yan was stunned for a while, and then slowly sighed: "I have heard that Ling'er is both talented and beautiful, and seeing this kind of archery today is even better than the rumors!" He looked at Chengying again, and said, "So young. With such a high attainment of lightness kung fu, he is really a young talent. But the general of the Yuan Kingdom?"
"Haha~~Your Majesty was joking. He is just my entourage, a nobody, and has no official position."
Yu Songling smiled brightly, but Emperor Yan was shocked in his heart, is he just a nobody with such martial arts attainments? !Could it be that the development and prosperity of the Yuan Kingdom in these years has far exceeded my imagination?
"They came from the Yuan Kingdom this time, clearly for the funeral, but in fact they are marrying the Yan Kingdom. But they have been here for some time, but they have not mentioned the marriage. Could it be..." Emperor Yan said in his heart, "This If one's skills can only be regarded as unknown, the current strength of the Yuan Kingdom really no longer needs the protection of the Yan Kingdom."
This hunt made Emperor Yan pay attention to Yu Songling. Back then, the emperor's uncle, Prince Jing, wanted to form an alliance with the Yuan Kingdom, and he did not hesitate to marry his only daughter far away. At that time, he was very opposed, thinking that the Yuan Kingdom was sparsely populated, and there was no alliance. However, it seems that although the sparrow is small, it seems to have all the internal organs. Not to mention others, just the follower is a material that can be made.
"Brother Ling, come and play with me, okay?" Princess Qingyu said coquettishly.
"Qingyu, I want to talk to Ling'er about something serious, you go and play by yourself." Emperor Yan said seriously.
"Oh~" Qingyu pouted and said.
Yu Songling chuckled, pointed at Chengying and said to Princess Qingyu, "I'll let him play with the princess, okay?"
"Well, that's good." Princess Qingyu was always coaxed by those servants, and she got tired of it after a long time, thinking that it would be good to play with her with a new face.
"Take care of the princess." Yu Songling said.
"Subordinates obey!" Cheng Ying replied.
"Are you the one who hunted and peeled off the leopard's skin on the mountainside that day?" Princess Qingyu looked at the black man standing in front of her who was much taller than herself.
"Yes."
"Don't do this in the future, it's too cruel for you to leave the whole body after death." Princess Qingyu raised her head, and educated Chengying in the tone of a young adult.
"The princess is merciful, and the grassroots will follow the teachings." Cheng Ying replied.
"Well, it's good if you know you're wrong." Princess Qingyu nodded, took Chengying to a tree, and ordered someone to hang five copper coins tied with a thread on the branch.Smiling mysteriously at Chengying, he said, "I just came up with a new way to play."
After finishing speaking, he stood a few meters away, drew the bow, let go, and the arrow left the string, accurately passed through the square hole in the center of the copper coin, and nailed it to the tree.
"How about my princess's arrow skills?" Princess Qingyu raised her chin slightly and smiled proudly.
"Very powerful." Cheng Ying said sincerely, but still had a calm face.Glancing at Emperor Yan and Yu Songling who were drinking tea by the lake, he suddenly smiled, "I still have a new way to play, I wonder if the princess wants to try it?"
"Oh? Let's hear it?" Princess Qingyu said with interest.
Chengying stood where Princess Qingyu had just stood, and said with a chuckle, "Princess, please shake the branch." Princess Qingyu shook the branch as she said, and the five copper coins swayed from side to side, making a tinkling sound.Chengying shot an arrow, and stringed five copper coins onto the arrow firmly.
"It's amazing!" Princess Qingyu exclaimed in surprise, and the surrounding servants were even more surprised, praising in a low voice.
"Heh~ a trick to coax a child." Yu Songling took a sip of tea unhurriedly, and said quietly.
A bead of sweat rolled down Yandi's forehead.
"It's extremely arrogant to say that this kind of arrow technique is a trick to coax children." Yan Di thought in his heart, but in the past few days he sent someone to investigate secretly. Song Ling said with a light smile, "It seems that Yuan Guo is really full of talents."
"Haha~~ Your Majesty congratulates me." Yu Songling smiled humbly.
Emperor Yan invited Yu Songling to the dinner party, Yu Songling asked Chengying to go back to the palace first, and went alone.
