Chapter 369: Stare at Him
"Don't worry, Princess Jin. The Crown Prince's shooting skills are the best among all the princes. There will definitely be no problem." Murong Jing said to comfort her.
What's more, Murong Yan would not hurt her.
He specially used the Bodhi root, a treasure of the Chu royal family, as the prize for the medical competition, and also took her to Wuliang Temple to see the Bodhi tree.
No woman had ever had this honor before.
Princess Jin was the first.
He hoped that Murong Yan would continue to make exceptions for her, and even better, do something even more extraordinary, and then see if there would be any ministers in the court who would support him.
How can a man who loses control for a woman be capable of ruling the country?
Nan Jiao smiled slightly and said nothing more. After she sensed that Zhan Beiheng's aura had subsided, she breathed a sigh of relief. Did this bastard want to scare her to death?
Does he know how dangerous he is?
Murong Yan drew his bow and aimed at the apple on Nan Jiao's head. Suddenly, he changed direction and aimed at the servant beside him, right at his heart.
"Prince, what are you doing..." Murong Jing didn't expect him to move suddenly.
Nan Jiao gasped.
He found out?
impossible!
Stay calm, stay calm. She can't mess around at this moment. Perhaps it was because she took the initiative to come over that aroused Murong Yan's suspicion. He was just testing her.
Murong Yan aimed his arrow at the servant, his narrow, dark eyes filled with icy coldness.
The servant glanced at Murong Yan and quickly lowered his head as if frightened.
Nan Jiao saw that he was still aiming at Zhan Beiheng, so she said, "Prince, you are afraid that you won't be able to hit the apple on my head. If that's the case, then don't play with me anymore."
After saying this, she took the apple off her head.
"Put the apple on his head." Murong Yan said to Nan Jiao.
Nan Jiao glanced at the apple in her hand with an intriguing smile on her lips. He was indeed very suspicious, so she took the initiative to be a target for the servant.
He was suspicious.
Next second.
She walked towards the boy, patted his shoulder, and said with a faint smile: "Don't be afraid, the prince is a good shooter, he won't hurt you."
Then she put the apple on his head.
He didn't forget to glare at him fiercely.
She'll deal with him later!
Zhan Beiheng looked at the woman up close, pursed his thin lips, and then stood up straight.
Nan Jiao stood aside, with her arms clasped over her chest, staring at the man dressed as a servant with a look of watching a show. Although she was worried about him, he was here.
She felt at ease again.
Murong Yan drew his bow and aimed at the apple above the boy's head, then let go and the arrow, shining with a cold light, flew out like a meteor.
Bang——
The arrow went straight through the apple.
But the apple was still on the boy's head, just shaking slightly.
Snap, snap, snap——
Murong Jing clapped his hands with a gentle smile on his face, "As expected of the crown prince, he is really amazing!"
Nan Jiao walked up to the servant, took off the apple and arrow from his head, and walked towards Murong Yan, "The prince is better than me, the apple didn't fall off."
"The apple fell because the fifth princess was nervous. Does the second princess want to shoot?" Murong Yan looked at Murong Jing.
"You guys play, Miss Su, let's go riding horses?" Nan Jiao looked at Su Qiluo. She didn't want to be nervous here anymore.
"Okay." Su Qiluo agreed readily.
"Since Princess Jin doesn't like shooting, let's go horseback riding. There is game in the forest. We can shoot while riding and then roast it to eat." Murong Jing suggested.
Nan Jiao looked at him and said with a smile, "Second Prince is really good at having fun. Forget about the game. I just want to ride a horse and see the scenery of the back mountain."
Murong Jing smiled and said, "Princess Jin is a guest. Whatever you say is fine. Over there is a stable. Let's go over and choose a horse."
"Okay." Nan Jiao walked towards the stable. There were servants there, and Zhan Beiheng couldn't follow her.
Murong Yan looked at the two people who were heading to the stable together, her eyes suddenly turned cold. It seemed that she had talked to Murong Jing more than he had.
He followed quickly and then led a horse to Nan Jiao.
"You ride this one, it's more docile."
"No, I like more spirited horses." Nan Jiao refused directly, and felt a little annoyed when she saw Zhan Beiheng coming over.
What exactly does he want to do?
"Princess Jin, it seems that we have the same taste. I also like fierce horses." Murong Jing laughed heartily, with the corners of his mouth curled up quietly.
"The Second Prince must be familiar with the horses here. Why don't you recommend one to me?" Nan Jiao looked at him.
"It's my honor." Murong Jing was naturally very willing. He thought Jiang Nanjiao would ignore him, but he didn't expect that she was not indifferent.
On the contrary, she seemed unwilling to speak to the prince.
It seems that his brother, the Crown Prince, is the one that he wants but cannot get. Others don't like him at all. That's right, after all, she is the Princess of Jin, and Zhan Beiheng is a famous god of war in Qin.
Not at all worse than Murong Yan.
"Princess Jin, this horse is good." Murong Jing said, pointing to a jujube-red horse.
Nan Jiao stared at it, and just when she was about to reach out to touch it.
"Princess Jin, this horse may be more suitable for you." Zhan Beiheng, disguised as a servant, led a black horse to Nan Jiao's side.
Not only did he change his appearance, he also deliberately changed his voice, as if his vocal cords were injured.
Nan Jiao glanced at the horse he was leading and said indifferently, "I don't like black horses."
Having said this, she went to lead the red horse.
Murong Jing looked at the servant and scolded him with an unhappy look: "How dare you! Did Princess Jin ask you to choose a horse? Hurry up!"
"Yes." Zhan Beiheng said hoarsely with his head down, and rode away.
After Nan Jiao saw him go down, she jumped on her horse and looked at Murong Xi: "Fifth Princess, do you want to compete?"
"I'm not good at riding a horse, so I won't compete." Murong Xi refused directly. Thinking of his previous embarrassing behavior, he was filled with anger.
Nan Jiao let out a slightly disdainful laugh and rode her horse towards the woods.
Murong Jing curled the corners of his mouth and followed quickly.
After seeing them riding away on their horses, Su Qiluo walked up to Murong Yan and said with a gentle smile, "Does your highness want to ride a horse?"
"Yeah." Murong Yan randomly chose a horse and immediately chased in the direction Nan Jiao left.
Su Qi Luo grabbed the reins and followed.
Murong Xi looked at the direction where Nan Jiao left with a resentful look, called her maid, whispered something to her, and the maid left quickly.
not far away.
In the stable, Zhan Beiheng pursed his thin lips. He really wanted to follow, but his current identity did not allow it.
She had gone to great lengths to prevent him from coming to the capital of Chu. If he revealed himself now, she would definitely be very angry, and her efforts would be in vain.
But when he saw Murong Yan chasing her, he was extremely angry.
In the mountains and forests.
Nan Jiao gradually slowed down her horse's pace. She was thinking about Zhan Beiheng. From the looks of him, he was planning to hide his identity and continue to stay in the capital of Chu State.
She now only hopes that Bodhi root will mature quickly, otherwise he will be exposed sooner or later.
After hearing the sound of horse hooves behind him.
Nan Jiao turned around and saw that it was Murong Yan. She pursed her red lips, kicked the horse's belly with her legs, and rushed into the forest at a faster speed.
