Chapter 13 Assassin
Chapter 13 Assassin
"Haha!" The 12th Highness Ming Gong walked forward, leaned forward and smiled at Mingde, "Little Sixteen, it really made my brother's eyes open. I didn't expect that you could really pull it open!"
Mingde was wearing thick clothes, slowed down his hands and feet and stood up: "No need to say sarcastic words from the twelfth brother, now it's up to you!"
"Don't be busy, don't you have a companion to study? When he's done, I'm not too late for brother." As he said that, the Twelve Highness Ming Gong glanced at Lin Nan with his eyes squinted: "Hey, why are you doing while standing there? You can't come!"
"Slow down!" Mingde stretched out his arms and stopped him. "Twelve brother, you'd better try it first. If you can't even win me, then he doesn't have to compete. It's not too late to let him come out after you win me."
"Hey——, you took it seriously!" Ming Gong squinted his eyes and grabbed Ming De, and smiled: "Mingde, I'm fine, don't say that my brother bullies you!" As he said that, the smiley expression on his face disappeared. Ming Gong's feet were pinched back and forth, turning into a lunge, took a deep breath, and slowly lifted the bow...
"Kuan----" After all, he was five years older than Mingde. Minggong suddenly pulled the bow for half a month, and then there was only a slight slight sound, and the bow bent bit by bit. The distance between his hands became larger and larger. Minggong's face began to turn red little by little, and his eyes began to glare. Seeing that it was almost at the end of his strength, Minggong suddenly shouted loudly, and the bow string suddenly pulled another part, but then Minggong relaxed and collapsed! The bow string rebounded, Minggong held the bow in his left hand, and hung to the side of his body...
Although Ming Gong did not pull it all, it was only half a string distance away. With such a result, no one dared to laugh at him. This is a strong bow with one stone. Ordinary people are not trained, so they are afraid that it will be difficult to pull it. Even among the princes, there are adults who are not good at bowing and arrows, and the prince Mingren is one of them. So although Ming Gong did not pull it all, he at least defeated Mingde. According to the agreement just now, it depends on Lin Nan. If Lin Nan also loses, Mingde will have to pour the chamber pot for the twelfth Highness Minggong...
Ming Xiao looked at Ming Gong's somewhat proud expression, then turned to look at Mingde and Lin Nan, with a little hesitant expression. Ming Lian said with a smile: "Okay, it's obviously the 12th brother who won now, but now we still have to see if the 16th brother can still win back. If he can give the 16th brother a face, it's natural to say, but I probably won't do it, hehe, although the lottery is not on the table, but now, I really want to see if Xiao Sixteen can do it... Haha!"
Ming Xiao frowned: "Brother Eighth brother, don't get involved!"
At this time, Lin Nan walked up, stood opposite the target with a bow and arrow in his hand. Lin Nan and Mingde looked at each other and turned their heads away. Mingde's passionate look with some expectation and pleading eyes made Lin Nan feel a little unbearable. It would be fine if Lin Nan thought it would be more than enough to deal with it, but the problem is... Lin Nan was not sure either!
When he lived in Changning Mansion, Lin Nan did practice martial arts with the old man who was fishing for four years, including bows and arrows. However, Lin Nan was very young and had little strength at that time. For this reason, the old man specially made a simple small bow for Lin Nan to practice. As he got older, the bow strength became stronger and stronger, but the biggest at that time was only half a stone power. Now this is a strong bow with one stone, and the difficulty of pulling it is not a little bit.
"Hey, hurry up, why are you going to be too slow!" Mingke said impatiently from beside him. "If you know you are not good, don't come out as soon as possible, so as not to lose someone again!"
"It's okay, it's okay!" Ming Gong smiled beside him, with confidence on his face. "Let him prepare more so that he won't make excuses if he loses Xiao Shiliu. We can wait!"
Mingyong frowned slightly when he heard this, walked over and patted Mingde on the shoulder: "What are you nervous? Before you can decide the victory or defeat, you are deflated first, what's this?" Mingde turned his head and looked at him, and his emotions finally eased a little.
Lin Nan's feet were one point, and he stood firm with a stance. He held the bow flat with his left hand to his chest. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, and slowly put the bowstring on the right hand. Mingde stared at Lin Nan for a moment, and his heart immediately raised. The eyes of everyone bet on him, and the surroundings suddenly became quiet.
Lin Nan suddenly opened his eyes, shouted loudly, his waist suddenly thrust, his left hand forward and his right hand backward, and a slight slight sound rang out intermittently, the bowstring opened, and in the blink of an eye, it reached half a string! A slight low cry was heard around him, and everyone onlookers were surprised. No one expected that the boy who looked not very thick in front of him seemed to have a strong force!
Slowly, the bow became more and more curved, Lin Nan's face became increasingly ugly, and his breathing became heavier. Seeing that the bow was about to be pulled open by more than the position of the Twelve Highness Ming Gong, Lin Nan seemed to have stopped, as if it was at the end of his strength! Everyone held their breath and looked at it. At this moment, Ming Gong suddenly spoke: "Oh, it's really good, but I guess you are probably just like this. Xiao Shiliu's chamber pot seems to be a must... Haha!"
Mingke also smiled from the side and said, "Haha, Xiao Shiliu, it seems you are going to lose. If you are not satisfied with a chamber pot, you will also pour your brother's one!" Mingde's face was full of anger when he heard this, but he did not reply, and his eyes were still staring at Lin Nan tightly.
Before the two finished speaking, Lin Nan's eyes suddenly flashed with a sharp look, and blue veins burst out on his forehead, raised his head and shouted loudly!
squeak! The bow string that had paused just now pulled a lot back. In just a moment, a strong bow with one stone was simply pulled into a full string!
"Huh--" The Ninth Highness Mingyong subconsciously exhaled, unable to believe his eyes. Mingxiao, Minglian and others next to him were also shocked. Within a moment, the surroundings were extremely quiet!
Lin Nan is approaching his limit at this moment. He often plays with half a stone bow on weekdays, but he is afraid of being injured with the wrong force, so he has never tasted it. Lin Nan held a slight stalemate, and his arms were sore. He was about to be unable to hold on, Lin Nan loosened his right hand, and squirted! The arrow cluster sounded softly, flashed in the air, and disappeared.
"Twelfth brother, you lost!" Mingyong walked up and patted Lin Nan on the shoulder.
Before he finished speaking, a shout came from a distance: "There is an assassin - the guards!"
"There is an assassin - the guards-"
"Protect the car!"
The shouting sounded at the top of his lungs, which immediately scared the princes to their faces pale! Such a shout suddenly made people forget everything around them, and only two words "assassin" were thought in their minds!
In the blue sky and the sun is white, assassin appears in the palace! What does this mean?
Lin Nan heard the first shout, and was stunned for a moment, and then subconsciously pulled Mingde behind him. Mingde reacted, although he was a little nervous, but he could still stand. The princes were so scared that everyone's face turned pale. Mingke grabbed Minglian's arm and cried. Minglian was not much better, so he turned his head and ran to Hongwu Palace. Minggong followed him as soon as he saw him. A few timid companions were already lying on the ground, only Mingxiao was calmer. At this moment, Mingyong shouted: "What a panic! Take the guy in his hand, what are we doing in Hongwu Palace? We practice all day long, are the bows and arrows in our hands arranged?"
Ming Xiao recovered and shouted: "What the Ninth Brother said is that it is time to act martial arts all day long. Now it is time to come in handy. The emperors retreat to Hongwu Palace and take the bows and arrows to guard the door. Even if the assassin really comes here, he has to let him know that we are not sheep waiting to be slaughtered!"
Ming Yong hissed, "Hmph, I'm afraid he won't come. If it comes, I will definitely ejaculate him in the opposite direction!"
Seeing the calm appearance of the two, the others gradually settled down. Everyone brought the bows and arrows at their hands and quickly retreated into the Hongwu Palace. Ming Yong retreated at the end, and Ming Xiao and Ming were guarding the gate and looked out. There were chaotic footsteps in the distance, and sometimes someone shouted, but after a while, the sound gradually lowered and finally returned to silence.
After waiting for a while, there was still no movement outside. Mingyong couldn't help but wonder. He looked outside, and there was no one. Mingyong wanted to go out and take a look, but Mingxiao grabbed him: "Ninth brother, don't act rashly. Since such a thing happened, if the storm passed, someone would definitely come later."
However, as Ming Xiao expected, after a while, someone came. But this person was not one, but a group! Two teams of imperial guards led the way, and an eight-person chariot with yellow curtains swayed across the trail and came to the square in front of Hongwu Hall. The imperial guards spread out from all over the place, and the chariot slowly lowered. When the curtains were lifted, Emperor Qiyuan walked out from inside with an arrow rod in his hand.
"Father...Father!"
When the princes pushed open the door of Hongwu Palace, they rushed out in a swarm. Mingke had already been so scared that he cried, and his face was covered with tears, running towards Emperor Qiyuan. Although Mingde was a little panicked, he was much more calm in comparison.
Emperor Qi Yuan looked at the sons running over in front of him and breathed a sigh of relief. He said warmly: "Okay, okay, there is a false alarm, don't be afraid." As he said that, his eyes swept over the princes, his eyes stopped on Mingyong and Mingde, then looked at some hands that were still holding bows and arrows, and nodded with satisfaction: "Well, not bad, not bad! I am still calm in the face of danger, and I can still remember to defend against the enemy. It's great, I deserve to be the prince of my Dajian! But..." Emperor Qi Yuan changed his subject and pinched an arrow in his hand and pointed in front of him: "What I want to understand is, how could the arrow clusters at the Hongwu Palace shooting range fly outside? Hum? Who did it?"
When everyone heard this, they were stunned. The arrows from the Hongwu Palace shooting range flew out?
Emperor Qiyuan narrowed his eyes and said, "I am walking well in the chariot, wanting to come to Hongwu Palace to check your homework. Who knew that just as he was about to turn the corner, a feather arrow fell from the sky..." Emperor Qiyuan stopped, looked at the faces in front of him, and continued, "It is only ten steps away from my chariot... Well... I was shocked! If the arrow shaft had not fallen and had no power, the guards found that the mark on the arrow cluster was actually the mark of the royal family, then the one who came to see you now would not be me..."
