It's so natural, it seems like it should be like this.

Li Luo cupped his fists and saluted, and when he was about to explain, Chang Tingxiao took the bow and arrow from his back and handed it to Li Luo. He said crisply: "Your Highness, Ninth Prince, come and try the bow with me first."

Li Luo felt stunned and took the long bow in a daze. The bow was very cold in the hand and had a slightly rough feeling. After holding it, it would not be unstable due to sweaty palms. The bow was neither light nor heavy, and was unusually heavy.

The long bows in the army are more than half a foot long. The entire bow body is silvery, with a jade-like color, and you can tell at a glance that it is extraordinary. The bow string is made of several dragon tendons, with the right thickness. The bow string has two strings.

There is a half-moon blade at the end, and you can use this bow to fight enemies when you get close. There are two strange beasts on the guard in the middle of the bow. They are not ordinary tiger-headed flying leopards. Li Luo didn't have time to take a closer look. They seemed to exist in

The appearance of two ancient ferocious beasts from myths and legends.

"Bring a horse here." Chang Tingxiao shouted crisply, took the horse's rein from the guard and handed it to Li Luo, saying loudly, "You ride this horse, let's have a test."

Li Luo said with shame: "Shu Fei, I..."

Chang Tingxiao waved his hand and said: "No need to call me empress, we will talk about it after the competition. Hum, don't hold back, don't let me underestimate you and your Shepherd Sirius." After saying that, Chang Tingxiao didn't wait for Li Luo.

In reply, he got on his horse, grabbed a powerful bow from the guard's back, gave a sweet shout, and rushed out first.

Li Luo opened his mouth, sighed helplessly, jumped on his horse amidst the snickering of many female generals around him, and galloped away following Chang Ting Liao.

The two rode in two, with Chang Tingliao in front and Li Luo behind. There was a gap of three to five steps, but Li Luo never used his horse power to ride side by side with Chang Tingliao. Chang Tingliao was fully focused and turned a blind eye to Li Luo behind him.

Every time he passed an archery target, he would see Chang Ting Liao opening his bow, stringing it full, flying arrows, and closing the bow in one go. Those who didn't know thought he was a top expert from some archery camp.

After a short circle around the lake, a total of seventeen arrows were shot. Chang Tingxiao was quite satisfied, reined in his horse, and looked back at Li Luo. Li Luo also put away his bow and stood not far away with a smile.

"How about it?"

"The arrow is flawless, awesome!" Li Luo praised sincerely.

"Let's go and have a look." Chang Tingliao was very happy, and he beat his horse and returned to the way it came. There were bows and arrows in the forest, and no one was missed or missed, and without exception, Chang Tingliao shot the bow and arrow.

They were all near the bull's-eye. Nine of the arrows hit the bull's-eye. The remaining eight were slightly off, but they were still around the bull's-eye and very close. On the other hand, the bow and arrows shot by Li Luo were far behind. None of them hit the bull's-eye.

Chang Ting Liao's bow and arrow are still some distance away.

Chang Tingliao glanced at Li Luo suspiciously, a little unconvinced. Li Luo's archery skills were not so bad. Could it be that he had kept his hand secretly. However, after seeing the seven archery targets, Chang Tingliao's face showed no signs of it.

Without hiding his disappointment, if Li Luo had allowed himself to miss a few arrows, he would not have lost every arrow to himself, and none of the arrows could hit the bull's eye. It seems that Li Luo is also a person who is seeking fame, at least he

His archery skills were incompatible with his reputation in the military.

Chang Tingxiao suddenly lost interest and walked in front in a muffled voice without saying a word to Li Luo. Li Luo smiled to himself in surprise, she was such a straightforward princess who was full of joy and anger.

Returning to the place where the guards were waiting, Chang Tingliao got off his horse and stood on the ground in silence, as if he was considering whether to say what he originally wanted to say to Li Luo. Suddenly, Chang Tingliao exclaimed and said loudly: "That's not right.

!”

The cry was so sudden that everyone was startled. Even Li Luo couldn't figure out what was wrong.

Chang Tingxiao turned around suddenly, looked at Li Luo fiercely, and yelled: "You lied to me!"

This sentence also startled Li Luo. Today was the first time he met this empress Shu, how could he ever lie to her?

Chang Tingliao seemed to be gritting his teeth and said: "I remember, each of your arrows is only two fingers away from the arrow I shot. One point more is not more, one point less is not more, right?

"

Li Luo touched the tip of his nose and said shyly: "Maybe this is a coincidence."

"Coincidence!?" Chang Tingliao snorted angrily and shouted coldly, "You guys, step aside, I have something to say to His Highness Ninth Prince."

The guards retreated to a distance, and Su and You Yun followed Jing Chu and Jing Qiu to the side very wisely, leaving only Chang Ting Liao and Li Luo. After everyone had gone away, Chang Ting Liao's

His face slowly thawed and returned to its normal appearance. He smiled proudly and said, "His archery skills, huh, are pretty impressive."

"It's still worse than Concubine Shu."

"Are you deliberately making fun of me?" Chang Tingxiao glared at Li Luo and shouted.

"I don't dare, I mean it sincerely. I have no talent for archery. When I joined the army in the early years, I had no choice but to practice archery hard. Either the enemy died or I forgot about it. If Concubine Shu had served in the army for several years like me, her archery skills would be better.

We will definitely reach the top.”

"Really?" Chang Tingliao said half-convinced.

"Of course it's true." Li Luo responded in a harmonious voice. He straightened his face again and said respectfully, "Xuan Lou pays my respects to Concubine Shu."

Chang Tingliao returned the gift and said angrily: "I told you not to call me empress." After saying that, he paused slightly and said nonchalantly, "Forget it, let it be up to you. I heard that you always value etiquette and are very good at what you do.

The rules are nothing like mine."

"The empress doesn't look like the other concubines in the palace either."

The corners of Chang Tingliao's mouth raised slightly, obviously quite pleased with himself, and he smiled and said: "Well, that's true. You don't have to be so restrained with me. I should be one or two years older than you. Although we have never met before, I have already

I’ve only heard of you.”

"you?"

"Hmph, don't you call yourself the Fourth Young Master of Zhuocheng?"

Li Luo smiled. He didn't expect that his reputation would be spread to Miss Chang's ears at that time. This impression would definitely not be good.

Sure enough, Chang Tingliao said with a look of disgust: "The four of you were misbehaving in Zhuocheng back then, and you dared to go and peek at Liu Yan. I was really pissed off."

Li Luo glanced at the concubine Shu who was staring at him fiercely. He just peeked at Uncle Zong's beloved daughter, so he wouldn't be so angry.

"Liu Yan and I are very good friends. Although she is a bit frail, she is very smart. Even though you are famous now, if Liu Yan were a man, she might not be worse than you."

"That's natural. Even now, Miss Yang's intelligence should still be above mine." Li Luo responded quickly and sincerely.

Chang Tingxiao looked at Li Luo carefully, as if he wanted to tell whether this sentence was true or false. However, Li Luo's expression was calm and composed, but it was difficult to tell.
