Chapter 47 What if I get injured?
This time, a gasp of surprise erupted from the crowd; everyone could no longer contain themselves.
Shang Ruyi was actually preparing to ride a horse and shoot arrows!
"Miss……"
Tushe'er was both scared and anxious, her eyes red as she stared at Shang Ruyi's back, unable to speak clearly.
Da Bo also became somewhat worried. He turned to Yuwen Ye and said, "Young Master, should we try to persuade him?"
Mu Xian was also anxious. He had always been very fond of this young lady who could single-handedly break through a group of bandits. Now that he had witnessed her riding and archery skills, it was normal that she was not as good as a soldier. But if she got injured because of a moment of anger, the Duke would not forgive them.
So he said, "Young master, this won't do. What if the young mistress gets hurt?"
Yuwen Ye remained silent, staring intently at Shang Ruyi's retreating figure.
Before long, she reached the camp gate, turned her horse around, and faced the wide road in front of her. The eyes of the soldiers watching from the side of the road were like invisible arrows, all focused on her.
Shang Ruyi looked up and glanced at Yuwen Ye.
Even from that distance, she could see the expression on the other person's face, but for some reason, she could still see some things clearly.
For example, his cold eyes and emotionless gaze.
Shang Ruyi took a deep breath and whispered, "Giddy up!"
Then, the horse's hooves sank, and the yellow horse beneath him galloped off.
In an instant, man and horse became one, galloping across the wide road. Soon they became a swift shadow, and everyone's eyes widened, afraid of missing even the slightest movement of the person on horseback.
Before long, the horse had approached the center line and was getting closer and closer to the target.
We're here! We're almost there!
At this moment, everyone had only one thought in mind, staring intently at Shang Ruyi. She, on the other hand, could no longer see her surroundings, and was also focused on one point, the crimson bullseye, which looked like a red eye staring at her.
Then, she released the reins and drew the arrow with her other hand.
With the reins loosened, only her two legs remained to maintain her balance. Shang Ruyi naturally tightened her grip on the horse's belly, but this only made the horse speed up even more due to the tension. The jolts on the horse's back made Shang Ruyi sway twice, and her hand, which was about to draw the bowstring, also wobbled, almost causing her to miss!
"Miss!"
Tushe'er's heart was in her throat, but she dared not shout. She could only speak in a hoarse voice, tears welling up in her eyes.
However, Shang Ruyi remained calm. She held her breath, quickly gathered her inner energy, and tightened her waist, making her upper body as firm as an iron plate. She then steadied herself and finally nocked the arrow.
Some people seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.
Tushe'er didn't know if it was herself or someone else around her, but she didn't care about that now. She just crossed her arms over her chest and kept chanting, "Amitabha, may the gods and Buddhas protect us!"
At this moment, Shang Ruyi seemed to have divine assistance. As soon as she nocked the arrow, she turned to the side, stretched out her long arm, and aimed the arrow at the bullseye in the center of the training ground not far away!
Everyone held their breath.
Shang Ruyi stopped breathing, her mind went blank, and she even forgot her own existence.
In the vast expanse of heaven and earth, only the crimson bullseye remained.
Shang Ruyi gave a low shout, and a cold light transformed into lightning, shooting out from her hand!
