Chapter 1159: Better to Fight
Everyone turned their heads and saw several soldiers walking towards them with tall postures.
They should have been practicing martial arts here today, but looking at their appearance, Lu Xingwan couldn't help but frown.
Logically speaking, when these princes and princesses are here, there should be no other soldiers here.
I don't know how they got in.
These soldiers were able to practice martial arts here today with the permission of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
Just now they had witnessed Princess Yong'an's heroic figure on horseback. After hearing what the leader said, they could no longer hold back and wanted to come forward to ask Princess Yong'an for advice.
In the blink of an eye, several people quickly walked over.
They knelt down in unison, their voices full of respect for Lu Xingwan: "Greetings to Princess Yong'an."
All of them had solemn and serious expressions, and the respect in their eyes was unconcealed.
Many of them had been to the West with the Imperial Consort, so they naturally knew the young Princess Yong'an.
At that time they were quite fond of this princess, and now seeing that she had the appearance of the young Royal Consort, they were filled with emotion.
After these people finished their greetings, before the leader in front of them opened his mouth, a young soldier hiding behind the crowd spoke up: "I didn't expect Princess Yong'an to be so skilled in riding and shooting. We would like to have a competition with Princess Yong'an. I wonder if the princess can give us a chance?"
The man spoke quite loudly, which made Lu Xingwan look at him involuntarily.
But before Lu Xingwan opened his mouth, the oldest soldier in the lead turned around and shouted angrily.
"Don't be rude! This is Her Royal Highness the Princess."
After saying this, he turned around and saluted Lu Xingwan again: "Please forgive me, Your Highness, it is my subordinate who does not know the rules."
"We came here today just to show our admiration for the princess's superb archery skills."
"I think with General Zhenxi here, the princess's riding and archery skills will not be bad at all."
After hearing this, Lu Xingwan probably understood that these people must have been his mother's subordinates in the past, and the reason they were paying attention to him now might be because of his mother.
It's not just because he thinks he's good at riding and shooting. Thinking of this, Lu Xingwan smiled slightly.
"Mom is fine now, don't worry." They just wanted to ask about their mother's recent situation.
The man who was in the lead looked up at Lu Xingwan in surprise when he heard her answer, his eyes full of shock.
Who would have thought that Princess Yong'an was not only an expert in riding and shooting, but was also so delicate and exquisite.
However, Lu Xingwan glanced at the young soldier who had just spoken, and saw that his eyes were full of dissatisfaction with him. Thinking of this, Lu Xingwan smiled helplessly.
I wonder if this person is really dissatisfied with me, or if he has other purposes?
But no matter what, since he questioned her today, she must not lose, so she bowed in return without hesitation: "Since you are here, why not have a fight."
That posture is really majestic.
These people indeed had this idea in mind, and seeing Lu Xingwan like this, they no longer refused, but stood up and made way for Lu Xingwan.
Lu Xingwan stood aside and rushed towards the horse.
At this time, Lu Jingming on the side grabbed her arm and looked at her with some worry in his eyes.
The layout of the parade ground was clear, and these soldiers were on the other side of the parade ground, with a long distance between them.
Logically speaking, since Lu Xingwan and the other princesses and princes were here, these soldiers should not rush forward without being called.
Now that they are acting like this, I'm afraid that the person who came here has bad intentions.
Ever since the incident with Tianji Sect thousands of years ago, Lu Jingming and his clansmen have been wandering outside, and he has developed a cautious character. He is always a little wary of everything.
As if she could see what the senior brother was thinking, Wanwan walked towards him and smiled.
"Big Brother, since they are here today, I have to fight them. Otherwise, they will think I am someone who is easy to bully."
Having said this, she lowered her voice even more: "They are just mortals, they can't hurt me, and my senior brother is here!"
Lu Xingwan's words instantly dispelled the uneasiness in Lu Jingming's heart.
Well, since they are immortal cultivators, why would they be afraid of a few mortals?
Seeing the eldest senior brother like this, Wanwan did not delay any longer. She drew an arc in the air with the whip in her hand, and then jumped on the horse lightly: "Since you brought it up, I will let you open your eyes today."
When she said this, her eyes were directed at the soldier who had first spoken out that he wanted to compete with her.
Having said that, she clamped her legs around the horse's belly. The horse neighed and rushed towards the shooting range like an arrow from a bow.
Even the soldiers who were leading the group earlier were surprised to see the princess act like this.
The princess looks exactly like the previous imperial concubine.
They originally thought that the princess was a coquettish lady in the palace, but they never expected that she was so heroic.
Just now they saw it from a distance and thought that Lu Xingwan was just lucky.
But in a place that no one noticed, the corners of Lu Xingyan's mouth were slightly raised.
She didn't expect that these soldiers would actually come forward to refute Lu Xingwan. It seems that Lu Xingwan is bound to lose face today.
You know, those who have been allowed by the Crown Prince to enter the martial arts training ground in this palace must be the best in the army.
What is Lu Xingwan in front of these battle-hardened people?
As Lu Xingwan took the lead, the soldier who had just spoken to Lu Xingwan also followed.
Lu Xingwan still stared ahead and drew out the bow and arrow neatly.
As before, she aimed at the bull's eye, the arrow left the bow and hit the bull's eye.
There was cheering all around, and the soldiers were not intimidated by Lu Xingwan's momentum.
He also bent his bow, drew his arrow, shot it, and hit the bull's eye at the same time.
It seems that he really has some skills.
But Lu Xingwan did not stop. She continued to let the horse move quickly along the shooting range.
The bow and arrow in his hand kept shooting, one arrow after another, and each arrow hit the bull's eye accurately, with such a fast speed that it was hard to keep up.
Everyone on the field knows that this is difficult.
Even Lu Xingyan couldn't help but frown. He didn't expect that Xiaojiu's riding and archery skills had reached such a level. Perhaps he had surpassed the Duke of Anguo.
I didn't expect this little girl to be so good at hiding her abilities. It seems that I was fooled by her in the past, and even Pei Chuyan was fooled by her.
Looking back at the soldier, although he was able to hit the center of the target, his speed was obviously much slower than Lu Xingwan's.
And as the horse trotted forward, he could hardly keep up.
