"Prince Hengyang is so handsome. Heroes emerge young!"
"Liu Lang is so handsome... Ah, it would be nice to marry him to Hengyang."
Being teased by the girls boldly, Liu Mu's face turned dark:...The noble girls in Jianye are really scary.
Because there were few people, a round of archery competition didn't take much time at all. Liu Mu had sharp eyes and he and his attendants kept an eye on the nobles who were sightseeing, but they really didn't find any serious injuries. They did find that a coachman had sprained his ankle, but he was completely different from the assassin last night!
In the end, even the scholars Lu Erlang and Lu Xian went to pull a bow. Liu Mu stared until his eyes were twitching, but he still couldn't find the man. Liu Mu's eyes scanned the crowd: "Where is Lu Sanlang? Hasn't he come back yet?"
A servant ran over to Lu Erlang and said a few words to him. Lu Erlang was slightly surprised, and after a moment's hesitation, he turned around and told the King of Hengyang. There were many people passing the message here, and the girls also heard it: "Lu Sanlang is on the top of a mountain not far from here, teaching the daughter of the Luo family how to draw the bow."
Liu Mu: "You've been teaching for an hour, right? You haven't finished yet?"
He narrowed his eyes, thinking about the past with a lot of tricks in his mind, and glanced at Lu Erlang with a probing look, asking Lu Erlang to give a suitable explanation. After Lu Xian was silent for a long time, he uttered: "Maybe cousin Luo is a little stupid?"
Liu Mu: "..."
The girl, Han, was expecting Lu Sanlang. Lu Sanlang hadn't come out yet, and she was so depressed. She was impatient and suggested, "Let's go and see how our third cousin teaches Sister Luo archery."
Liu Mu thought about it and nodded.
A large group of people climbed up the mountain under the guidance of the servant. When they were halfway up, the sun was rising higher and higher, and sweat was slowly appearing on their foreheads. When everyone was tired, someone shouted in surprise, "Look there!"
Prince Hengyang, Lu Erlang and others all raised their heads and looked in the direction pointed. The mountain road went up, winding and covered with layers of indistinct green. A hill stretched out diagonally from the lush mountain road, with layers of smoke and floating clouds in the sky. They saw a young and handsome man standing behind him, completely surrounding the beautiful girl in his arms. Standing on the top of the mountain, with a longbow in hand, the girl's bow posture was corrected by the man behind her, who was holding her hands and shoulders.
It was as if Lu Yun was hugging Luo Lingyu from behind.
Their long robes fluttered like clouds, and they were surrounded by green trees and mist. The two men stood on a high place shooting arrows, like immortals.
Everyone below was stunned.
On the top of the mountain, they rested for more than an hour. When people came to watch, Lu Yun stood up and helped Luo Lingyu to correct the archery posture. He hugged her from behind, breathing in the same rhythm as hers, and the two of them seemed to be rubbing ears and temples. Luo Lingyu put her hand on the bow, and Lu Yun held her hand again. The bow was gradually pulled to full, drawing a circular arc, pointing directly to the sky.
Luo Lingyu lowered her eyes, a smile on her lips, and whispered to Lu Yun, "Is it okay now? Prince Hengyang won't doubt you anymore?"
On the surface, Lu Yun taught her archery seriously, but secretly laughed: "He will still have doubts... but he can't tell whether I am injured or not. I also have to thank cousin Luo for helping me, otherwise I would have to pull the bow by myself and the wound would have been healed again."
Luo Lingyu sneered: "It doesn't matter. Just remember to give me the antidote afterwards."
Lu Yun smiled and tightened his grip on her hand. He corrected her in the standard position and led her to draw the bow. The bowstring was stretched to the utmost, and her eyes were fixed on the direction of the sun. Luo Lingyu's hair was damp and sweat oozed from her forehead. The man behind her still held her hand. After waiting for an unknown amount of time, Luo Lingyu was almost distracted, and Lu Yun suddenly shouted: "Release——"
Frightened by his sudden voice, Luo Lingyu's hand trembled, and the arrow was about to be released when Lu Yun steadily pushed it upward with his bow. With a ding, the black arrow flew out from the fingertips of the two people and shot into the air.
The people below looked up, watching the two men at the top of the cloud, one in front and one behind, finally shooting arrows. The long arrows were sharp and powerful. Two wild geese flapped their wings and flew out from the jungle below, soaring high in the air. With a light flap of their wings, a black arrow came and flew straight in.
The man and woman on the mountaintop had their dresses flying, stunning and eye-catching. The sunlight burst out with brilliant light, shining on the two people, dragging them down like they were not ordinary people. Clouds surrounded the trees, the man was talented and the woman was beautiful, bending her bow and shooting arrows... The people below the mountain watched intently. Two wild geese fell down, making a mournful cry!
Standing on the top of the mountain, Luo Lingyu was overjoyed: "I hit it - I actually hit it!"
One day she was hit by an arrow!
Lu Yun leaned over and saw the girl's bright eyes, his heart skipped a beat. Luo Lingyu was so shocked and delighted that she forgot about the annoying Lu Sanlang behind her. She turned around happily, and her red lips brushed against something soft and warm behind her.
Luo Lingyu tensed up: "..."
What did her lips touch?!
Chapter 34
The peaks are dark blue, and the landscape is beautiful. The clouds and mist are like clothes, supporting the man and woman who are shooting arrows on the top of the hill. The sun shines warmly, and the people below who are looking up are squinting because of the sun. They see the girl looking back excitedly, and the man behind her lowers his head. From the side, the two seem to be kissing...
Everyone's mood suddenly became delicate.
Not to mention that Lu Erlang and Lu Xian were staring at each other in dismay, the cousins were so jealous that their eyes turned red. Even the Prince of Hengyang was stunned for a moment, unable to speak. For a very short time, his heart suddenly stopped for a moment, as if something was flowing out of his body and slowly leaving him. The only one who was surprised and had no negative emotions was probably Princess Pingning Liu Tang.
The open customs of this era not only refer to the openness between men and women in their interactions, but also to sexual openness.
So when people suspected that they saw something, they were just shocked. Then, Lu Jilang and his cousins denied their bold guess: they were just talking back, the two stood so far away, their shadows overlapped, and were blocked by light. In fact, they didn't see anything... Don't let your imagination run wild!
The two poor wild geese fell from the sky, crying sadly, and fell into the endless forest. Their wings scraped against each other as they fell, and the flapping sound continued. None of the noble men and women who were traveling around the mountains and rivers cared about the superb archery skills.
