Chapter 94: Three Arrows Shot at Once Guan Minghui: The Third Young Master Wei is Extraordinary

Xu Nian and her horse were the first to return to the starting point, and Wang Pingting ran over excitedly to greet her.

"Sister Xu is indeed a person who never reveals her true colors. She has such superb riding skills but she still tricked me into thinking it was her first time riding a horse."

Xu Nian smiled helplessly and said, "I really didn't lie to you, sister." Then he looked at the people around him and said sincerely, "It is you brothers and sisters who are being lenient with a newbie like me."

A young man in red brocade clothes came over with a whip in his hand and a smile.

"Miss Xu, you are too modest. This whip is the prize of today's horse race. Miss Xu deserves it."

Xu Nian looked at Wang Pingting uncertainly, and Wang Pingting nodded and said, "Although the prize was offered by Master Chen, it really goes to the winner of the horse race, so just keep it."

Xu Nian clasped his fists and bowed before taking the black whip. Enthusiastic cheers were heard all around him. Xu Nian looked at the people who were in high spirits and smiled brilliantly.

The second event of the Jockey Club was horseback archery. Neither Xu Nian nor Wang Pingting participated. Xu Nian had never even touched a bow before, and she was afraid that she would not be able to draw the bow, which would be embarrassing. Wang Pingting was conserving her energy for the next horseback competition. What Xu Nian did not expect was that the weak Guan Minghui would be among the participants in this competition.

Wang Pingting saw Xu Nian's surprised expression and explained quietly, "Don't be fooled by my cousin's weak appearance. Her archery skills are even better than my brothers. My father once said that my cousin's archery skills can keep the enemy away even on the battlefield."

Xu Nian looked at the graceful figure on the horse with a quiver on her back and a crossbow in her hand with sparkling eyes. It is true that one cannot judge a person by his appearance.

When the competition started, Xu Nian realized that the so-called archery competition was not about shooting at a fixed target, but that someone in a distant place released dozens of flying birds into the air, and the one who shot the most birds would be the winner.

Xu Nian looked up at the flock of birds flying higher and higher. Suddenly, the sound of several arrows breaking through the air was heard, and several flying birds fell to the ground.

"Good." Cheers came from all around, and Xu Nian was also excited. She decided to go back and ask Yan Fu and Yan Rong if they knew archery. She wanted to learn archery.

"Look, sister, my cousin is going to use her special skills."

Xu Nian retracted his gaze and looked over, and saw that the girl on the horse had already squatted on the horse's back with her hands raised, then stood up and pulled out three arrows in the rhythm of the horse.

Xu Nian’s eyes widened. Could it be what she thought?

"good"

"As expected of Miss Guan, your archery skills are unmatched."

“…”

Xu Nian came back to his senses from the cheers of the crowd, and pulled Wang Pingting's arm and said excitedly: "Three arrows fired at once, it turned out to be three arrows fired at once, Pingting, my cousin is so handsome."

Wang Pingting looked at Xu Nian who was pulling her and talking nonsense, and silently decided in her heart that she should take Sister Xu to participate in more horse racing clubs in the future. She was too unworldly.

Wang Pingting couldn't understand the shock in Xu Nian's heart, as she had only seen such scenes in movies and TV dramas.

Wang Pingting saw the admiration in Xu Nian's eyes almost overflowing, and sighed: "This may be the last time we see my cousin's archery skills."

"Why?"

"My cousin's wedding is coming up soon. She will be marrying off to Yangcheng in three months."

Xu Nian turned his head back in disbelief, "Yangcheng?"

That was Yangcheng, which was farther away than Qingyun City where she came from. Although Yangcheng was taken back from Yanyang Country by Zhenbei Army, it was said that the border had always been unstable.

Wang Pingting also had a worried look on her face. The engagement between her cousin and the young master of the Zheng family had been arranged when her grandfather was still alive. Now that the young master Zheng was exiled to Yangcheng, her cousin had no choice but to follow him.

Before Wang Pingting could explain, Guan Minghui had already dismounted and was running towards them. The two of them adjusted their moods and looked at the girl walking towards them, praising her sincerely, "Cousin, your archery skills are still unparalleled as always."

"It's a pity that my sister can only see Miss Guan's elegance today."

Guan Minghui smiled softly, completely different from the heroic figure just now.

It was finally Wang Pingting's turn to compete in the last horse racing event of the Jockey Club. She led seven women holding various weapons to face off against eight young men on the opposite side, and the leader of the opposing team was none other than the Third Young Master Wei.

Xu Nian stood at a distance and watched with great interest. She asked Guan Minghui beside her, "Sister Guan, which side do you think will win?"

"That depends on whether the Third Young Master Wei knows how to be sympathetic and gentle to women." After saying that, the two of them smiled at each other.

Wang Pingting, who was holding a red spear, looked at the green figure holding a halberd opposite her with an embarrassed expression. These guys must have known about the marriage between the Wang and Wei families, so they pushed this person out. Humph, she would not show mercy for this.

On the vast field, the sun was scorching hot and the two teams were ready to fight. The red date horse under Wang Pingting's crotch seemed to sense her master's determination. It raised its head and neighed, and its four hooves stomped the ground anxiously.

With a "whoosh" sound, Wang Pingting pointed the spear in her hand at the green figure, but the Third Master Wei on the horse stood still like a mountain. Even though the snow-white horse under him kept snorting, he just patted it gently to comfort it.

Only when the red spear came close did he raise his head and dodge it, then he rode out like an arrow from a bow, looked back and smiled, "Miss Wang's shooting skills are not quite accurate enough."

Wang Pingting looked at the man who not only had an annoying smile on his face but also laughed at her shooting skills that she was so proud of, so she chased after him angrily.

Xu Nian was watching the two teams start to fight, and he pulled Guan Minghui to watch with great interest. However, the leaders of the two teams disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The two teams that were fighting fiercely had not yet noticed that their leader was missing. Amidst the flying dust, all that could be heard were shouts of "Huh," "Give me your life," and "Watch this," as well as the clanging sounds of various weapons colliding with each other.

Xu Nian really gained a lot of knowledge today. It would be a pity if he didn't join the military camp with such passion.

"Sister Guan, nothing will happen to those two, right?"

Guan Minghui said softly, "It seems that this Third Young Master Wei is destined to become my brother-in-law."

"ah?"

And in the end, it was just as Guan Minghui had said. When Wang Pingting came back on horseback, her face was redder than the rosy clouds in the sky, followed by the third son of the Wei family, who had a bright smile on his face but was dressed in tattered clothes.

Xu Nian approached Wang Pingting with a gossipy look on his face and asked, "Sister Wang, why did you disappear in the middle of the fight? I was waiting to see your style." Xu Nian chuckled and continued, "I wonder how skilled this Third Young Master Wei is? How did he get bullied so badly by you?"

As soon as Xu Nian finished speaking, Wang Pingting's originally rosy face turned even redder, and Guan Minghui beside her also lowered her head and laughed softly.

"You guys... I'm not going to talk to you anymore."

Looking at Wang Pingting running away, Xu Nian spread his hands innocently and said, "I'm really just curious."
