C4 Terrible General
The moment the arrow pierced the target, cries of surprise rang out from the surroundings. Xu Jingda couldn't help but widen his eyes as his gaze moved between the target and Yun Shu a few times. Only when Yan Xu raised his hand to pat him on the arm did he retract his chin that had fallen to the ground: "I didn't think that Brother Yun would be so good at shooting that you could hit the heart of the target with your first arrow."
Yan Xu glanced at him and Meng Guang, then continued, "It's still too early to come to a conclusion. Maybe it's because the blind cat met a dead mouse, and this arrow was just a bit away from hitting the center of the bull's heart, so there's nothing to praise about it." The last few words were said especially loudly, as if Yun Shu couldn't hear them.
She really wished that she had been a blind cat running into a dead mouse. Even if she had lost this match, she wouldn't feel much guilt towards Xu Jindan. Moreover, she had understood that in a certain aspect, being too outstanding might not be a good thing. Especially now, when she needed to hide from everyone that she wasn't a man.
Wang Kuo's second arrow firmly hit the center of the target. Yun Shu followed closely with the second arrow, but slightly deviated from the center of the target. In this way, the two of them would have a draw. While Yun Zhuang was waiting for the other party to shoot the third arrow, Wang Kuo suddenly put down his bow and turned to look at her, "Hey, what do you mean by purposely delaying the time you take off the bowstring twice? Did he want to give himself more time to prepare? If that's the case, then isn't this a bit unfair to the opponent? " However, his last sentence was directed at Meng Guangwei.
Meng Guang cleared his throat and took half a step forward, "Then let Yin Yun shoot the third arrow first."
Yun Shu nodded her head, she adjusted her position and continued aiming. It seemed that she would have to hit the center of the target this time, if the arrow shot from behind hit the center of the target, then she would lose the match. Thinking about this, her brows furrowed even more. With her high concentration on the target in front of her, she ignored everyone around her and didn't have much energy left to pay attention to the man who had just opened the tent flap of the general.
"Shua!" The arrow instantly left his right hand and went straight for the first arrow on the target. However, in that moment, Wang Kuo suddenly changed his direction and aimed at the incoming arrow and released his arrow. As if he knew the final result, Wang Kuo looked in Xu Jindan's direction with mockery in his eyes. Just as he was about to say something, an arrow suddenly shot over from his side, bringing with it a biting wind.
The third arrow that appeared in the last round directly broke through Wang Kuo's arrow, and Yun Shu's arrow smoothly flew towards the target. She split the first arrow that was stuck in the arrow at the end of the arrow, and nailed it firmly onto the target. Only now did Yun Shu heave a sigh of relief, as exclamations came once again from the surrounding crowd. However, in the next moment, the exclamations were interrupted.
Yan Xu turned his head to look in the direction of the third arrow that had appeared out of nowhere. That handsome man who didn't seem like a military general was throwing the bow in his hand to the person accompanying him. Yan Xu hurriedly looked around, and in the end, he scratched the back of his head like a child caught red-handed when an adult caught him red-handed. He lowered his head and stood up.
Feeling the man's terrifying aura, Yun Shu carefully poked Meng Guangwei's arm, "Who is that?"
Meng Guang hadn't even opened his mouth when Xu Jindan, who had heard her question, placed his hand on her shoulder. He took her over and whispered, "Great General Pei Hongqing." Yun Shu nodded her head in understanding. No wonder Yan Xu had tried to escape earlier, he had been caught red-handed by her superior.
"Vice General Yan, is the military camp a place where you can have fun?" As soon as Pei Hongqing got near, he scolded Yan Xu harshly and told Yan Xu to go get the stick.
Before leaving, Yan Xu shot a wronged look at Pei Hongqing. "Hongqing, actually, I just …"
Pei Hong Qing looked at him gloomily and asked, "Do you want to talk nonsense with me?"
"No, no!" I'll go get the stick myself. " With that, he obediently left.
"Since you are both new recruits, let's forget about today's matter. There won't be a next time." As soon as Pei Hong Qing finished his words, the crowd dispersed like a flock of birds. Each of them returned to their respective positions and continued practicing their weapons.
Only then did Pei Hongqing shift his gaze towards Yun Shu, but after a single glance, he walked towards the target. Actually, he had noticed the two arrows piercing through the target just as he came out of his tent. He did not expect that the third arrow … The kid would shoot the target in this risky way. After slashing apart the arrow's feathers and the arrow's body, the third arrow that had originally pierced through the target by three centimeters was stuck in the target as well due to the fact that he had sufficient strength. He pondered for a moment and then beckoned to Yun Shu to come over.
Yun Shu had yet to recover from the terrifying atmosphere brought by the other party, and now that she was called over, even a hundred meters away was enough to cause her heart to tremble.
"How long have you been practicing?"
Yun Shu bowed her head in greeting, "I have been practicing archery since I was eight. It has already been twelve years." Hearing her tone, it seemed that General Pei had no interest in punishing her.
"Not bad, do you know any other weapons?"
"My father had a close combat strategy, but he didn't know how to use swords or sabers." For some reason, although she kept her head down, she could hear a hint of a smile in his voice. General Pei who was previously like Rakshasi was now smiling. As she thought about this, she could not help but be more curious about the appearance of that smiling face which was even prettier than Yan Xu.
"So it's like that …" Pei Hongqing put one of his hands on his lower lip and looked at the man who was hanging his head in front of him. He was slightly smaller than an average man and looked very frail. Such a soldier … However, its appearance was not too good, and the red mark was too eye-catching. If the mark could be removed, then that could be considered.
"Why do you keep your head down? "Is it because you're afraid of me?" However, before Yun Shu could find a response, Pei Hongqing added, "Actually, there is no need to be so formal. The war was originally a matter of life and death. I do not wish my soldiers to live in fear of their commanders. That kid Yan Xu is an exception.
"Yes." After all, the feeling that this man had given her was too terrifying. Before this, she had never believed that a person could exert such a heavy pressure on another person, and that this was probably something that could be produced by combining a noble position with a transcendent dignity and self-confidence. However, she was clearly just a handsome man …
"I heard from the new recruit who looks like a scholar that your name is Yin Yun?" While speaking, Pei Hongqing lowered his head and put it right in front of her eyes.
Caught off guard and seeing an enlarged face, Yun Shu took a step back in fright: "Yes."
"Eh …" When Pei Hongqing saw that there was a huge rock behind her, he quickly pulled her to prevent her from tripping over it again. The result was that the other party became even more frightened and quickly pulled her hand away from his and jumped to a position slightly away from him.
Pei Hongqing looked at her hands in amusement before turning around and sizing her up with a smile, "We are all men, what are you hiding from? You …" Is there something you need to say? " After saying that, the smile in Pei Hongqing's eyes became even wider.
Yun Shu raised her eyebrows, she did not understand why. I'm not a man, is I... However, when he recalled that Meng Guangwei had mentioned the rumor that General Pei was Duan Xiu, he immediately understood the meaning behind the 'hidden trouble', and he was at a loss as to how to reply.
The days in the military camp were really … Torturing.
