Chapter 103: One Arrow Determines the Winner (2)
Mo Jingqi was also caught off guard by this sudden change. Concubine Liu looked at Ye Li's figure and showed a trace of invisible appreciation, and said, "I think Princess Ding has a good chance of winning." The queen also knew that although Concubine Liu came from a family of civil officials, she was a rare polite and military among women. She asked curiously: "Concubine Liu thinks Princess Ding will win?" Concubine Liu said, "This Princess Lingyun is not as brave as she shows."
"Since that's the case, let's do as Princess Ding wants." Mo Jingqi stood up and said, "One arrow determines the outcome. Shooting or dodging is considered a loss. Let's start."
The imperial garden suddenly became quiet. The eunuch who acted as the host stood at the midpoint between the two and screamed: "Princess, please prepare." Then he quickly withdrew from the field, "One--"
The two of them opened their bows at the same time. What was surprising was that Princess Ding, who seemed elegant and graceful, seemed not very difficult to pull the bow.
"two--"
Princess Lingyun pulled the bow to the extreme, aiming the tip of the arrow at the woman opposite. She had absolute confidence. As long as she shot this arrow, she would definitely make this Princess Ding who was overestimating her abilities return to the west. As long as... shoot this arrow! Suddenly, Princess Lingyun's hand holding the feather arrow trembled slightly, and she clearly saw the eyes of the woman opposite. The cold eyes as snow made her heart fall into the ice cellar almost instantly. Ye Li in Princess Lingyun's eyes seemed to have changed someone else.
Her whole body was filled with unstoppable murderous aura and confidence that she would hit her with one blow. She just looked at her calmly, as if there was nothing at all, the arrow facing her was in her eyes. It seemed as if she was sure that the arrow could not shoot her at all. The more she thought of this, the more Princess Lingyun's eyes looked at Ye Li's arrow tip, and she found in despair that if she didn't dodge, even if Ye Li was a novice, that arrow would definitely shoot her.
At some point, fine beads of sweat had already emerged from Princess Lingyun's forehead.
Ye Li calmly felt the feeling of the bow and arrow in her hand. Although it was still not very easy, it was even less suitable for her sniper rifle that had been with her for several years. However, when she came to this world for the first time to engage in such a shooting duel, even if she just teased a little girl, she couldn't help but feel a little joy and joy in her heart. Looking along the tip of the arrow, she clearly saw the unhidden fear in Princess Lingyun's eyes, and a faint smile appeared on her lips.
Almost everyone held their breath and waited for the last moment to arrive. Lei Tengfeng stared at Princess Lingyun tightly. Because of direction issues, he couldn't see Ye Li's face, but in terms of her body posture, she could see that Ye Li was not very familiar with this kind of bow and arrow. Lingyun's ability should be almost certain, why did she act so nervous?
Mo Xiuyao sat calmly in the wheelchair, resting his hands on the armrests, but if someone carefully observed, he would find something hidden under his right hand. His eyes also fell on Princess Lingyun, but it was not Princess Lingyun's face but her arrow tip.
I won't lose... Princess Lingyun tried her best to prevent her eyes from paying attention to Ye Li's arrows, and secretly swallowed her saliva and kept cheering herself up in her heart. But her eyes always glanced at Ye Li's arrows unconsciously.
"Three--!" A sharp voice sounded in his ears. Ling Yun clearly saw that the smile on Ye Li's lips became deeper, and he pulled the bow back and prepared to shoot the arrow. He had already pulled the strings and released them reflexively.
"Swoosh--" The feather arrow wiped Ye Li's shoulder and shot out, landing on the ground not far behind him.
How could it be! Princess Lingyun was shocked, and even more shocked that Ye Li had not shot the arrow, and she had completely lost the opportunity. She looked at Ye Li blankly at her smiling face, clearly seeing her smiling silently at herself, "It's my turn..." She saw more clearly that there was no smile in the eyes of the smiling face, only the cold light and murderous aura that was colder than the arrow. Ye Li tried hard to pull the bowstring to the extreme, and shot the arrow-
"Swoosh--"
"No!" Ling Yun suddenly screamed, and even squatted on the ground with his head in his arms regardless of his image. The feather arrow thrust to the ground a step further away from her. Princess Ling Yun looked at the slightly shaking arrow feather in front of her, and suddenly burst into tears.
Everyone looked at each other, Ye Li leisurely put down the bow and arrow in her hand, and said to Princess Lingyun with a smile: "Princess, actually my hands are very sour, you don't have to worry about me shooting at you."
"You...you..." Princess Lingyun cried silently, pointing at Ye Li for a long time and couldn't speak. Ye Li looked at her with a smile, feeling that she was depressed today and was released for a moment of persuasion. Sure enough, training the disobedient little ghost and other things made people feel the most comfortable.
"Okay!" Mo Jingqi clapped his high and said with a smile: "What do you think the princess think of this competition?"
Lei Tengfeng looked at the woman with a smile not far away with a complicated expression, and stood up and said, "The Princess Ding is indeed a woman who is as good as a man, and he is convinced. Of course, the princess won. Ling Yun knelt down and apologized to the princess." Lei Tengfeng made a quick decision and said to Princess Ling Yun. What Ye Li asked for was apology in front of all the civil and military officials at the palace banquet, but Lei Tengfeng directly intercepted the second half of the sentence and made Ling Yun apologize immediately. It not only made people feel that Princess Xiling dared to act, but also now
Ling Yun cried so miserably, but it would make people sympathize with her. When it was the palace banquet at night, everyone would be tactful and not mention it anymore. But if it was dragged to the palace banquet, the incident of Ling Yun losing the princess of a given king would have spread throughout the palace. After everyone talked about it, their evaluation of Ling Yun would only be even lower. Even if Ling Yun kneeled down and apologized at that time, it would not make people feel good about her. More importantly, it would affect his behavior later.
"Kneel down..." Princess Lingyun's face turned pale. She never thought that she would lose to a weak woman from Dongchu in the proudest realm. She remembered the promise she had impulsively agreed to, now it was too late to regret it. She looked at Lei Tengfeng for help, but only got Lei Tengfeng's warning. She looked around the people around her, the emperor, empress, concubines, ministers and noble ladies of Dongchu, as well as the envoys and princesses of Nanzhao. Princess Lingyun knew that if she really knelt down, her reputation would be completely destroyed.
"There is no need to kneel down. The princess just needs to apologize to this concubine." Ye Li suddenly spoke.
Princess Lingyun was stunned, and finally realized that it would be of no benefit to her if she continued to make trouble. She was a weak brother in Dongchu and refused to help her, but she could not fight against this Princess Ding at all.
After gritting his teeth and getting lucky, Princess Lingyun said, "It was Lingyun who was ignorant and offended the Princess Ding of Kings. Please forgive me for the Princess Ding of Kings."
