Chapter 603 The horse was frightened
Jiang Youzhen was very confused, "It's your turn next!"
"It's okay, you go first!" said the Fourth Prince.
All right! You are the boss, whatever you say goes.
Jiang Youzhen chose the nearest horse and mounted it with great agility and elegance.
Yuan Shang's eyes widened immediately. How dare this kid? He turned to look at His Highness, but saw that His Highness did not say anything to stop him.
What a weird thing! His Highness never lets anyone else ride his mount easily.
This horse had a very bad temper and was very repulsive to unfamiliar people. However, at this moment, Jiang Youzhen sat firmly on it, and the horse did not resist at all.
The fourth prince was also a little surprised. How could Ji Feng accept Jiang Youzhen? Ji Feng would kick anyone who climbed up besides himself.
Jiang Youzhen touched the horse's smooth back and couldn't help but sigh that it was a good horse.
"Tsk tsk! Look at how neatly he mounts his horse. But I'm afraid it's like a silver-plated spear head, which only looks good but is useless!"
Zhao Yin curled his lips. This kind of handsome young man seemed to be quite popular among girls. But with this thin body, could he withstand his punch? A man still had to be strong and powerful.
"I have discovered that you seem to have some prejudice against him. I advise you not to judge people by their appearance." The Fourth Prince could not help but glance at him when he heard the sarcastic remarks.
Zhao Yin smiled, "Why, Your Highness is optimistic about him? I admit that he is very talented in literature, but practicing martial arts is not something that can be done overnight.
Just like the little flag just now, it is obvious that she has been practicing martial arts since she was young. I remember that Jiang Youzhen's family was poor when she was a child, and she only went to school for a few years? Even if she practiced martial arts for three years, what would it matter? Could it be that she is really a master of both literature and martial arts, with amazing talent?"
The Fourth Prince did not comment. He raised his eyebrows and said, "Maybe he is?"
Zhao Yin laughed, "Your Highness really has confidence in him."
The young man rode his horse towards a distance of twenty feet, looking heroic and graceful.
"But you have to admit that Jiang Youzhen's appearance is really good." Zhao Yin also admitted that it was pleasing to the eye and couldn't help but admire it.
Jiang Youzhen draws the bow and shoots the arrow with all his movements done in one go.
Everyone couldn't help but be attracted by the heroic figure on horseback. When the young man drew the bow, his thin but flexible body stretched out in an extremely graceful posture.
"Can you actually draw the bow to its full length?" The Fourth Prince was a little surprised.
This bow was the one he used a few years ago. Although it was not as heavy as a stone when fully drawn, it still weighed fifty or sixty kilograms. Jiang Youzhen was able to draw it fully, so he must not be that skinny.
"This bow only weighs a few dozen kilograms when fully drawn, right? It's not surprising that it can be fully drawn!"
"It's not bad for a scholar like him to be able to pull the bow to its full length. It's the limitation of the bow. It's only a few dozen pounds, so it's useless." Li Dongsheng came over and said.
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at him.
Especially Yuan Shang, he gritted his teeth and his face was ashen.
"Mr. Li, this bow has been used by His Highness for the past few years. It was given to His Highness by the Imperial Concubine as a birthday gift."
Li Dongsheng's forehead was immediately covered with sweat. He smiled awkwardly, "Ah? No wonder it looks so tough. Your Highness was still young a few years ago, so it was just right for Your Highness to use it."
"Your Highness was still using it three years ago!" Yuan Shang grinned.
Li Dongsheng had never thought that Yuan Shang was so hateful. "Then? That must be because His Highness was reluctant to give up the gift given by the Queen, and kept it with him as a thought."
Everyone laughed silently, calling you heartless. Today you finally got humiliated.
A report came from the other side, "Missed!"
Uh... everyone was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. Just now, Jiang Youzhen was so heroic, drawing the bow and shooting the arrow without hesitation. He looked like a god of war with such a powerful aura.
The result is just this? Zhao Yin burst into laughter.
"I told you it looks good but is not practical, right? But Your Highness doesn't believe it."
A glimmer flashed in the eyes of the Crown Prince of Rongguo, "Jiang Youzhen is a scholar, and he is not good at riding and shooting, so this is understandable."
"Aren't Jin Qiu and Hao Lun also scholars? They are both good at riding and shooting!" Zhao Yin retorted.
Jiang Youzhen quickly shot the second arrow. She still rode her horse to a distance of twenty feet. This time she only used 30% of her strength. She didn't even pull the bow to its full extent. She shot the arrow casually without even looking.
Not surprisingly, the arrow fell before it reached the target.
She concealed her incompetence not just to highlight Fang Zhongyi, but because she wanted to keep a low profile. She was already very prominent in literature, and if she let those people know that she practiced martial arts, they would definitely be wary and on guard, and many things would not be possible.
"Alas! There is no doubt that she is the last one. She at least pulled the bow to its full strength for the first arrow, but she didn't have the strength to shoot the second arrow." Zhang Haolun also shook his head.
As soon as they saw Jiang Youzhen's performance, they knew there was no threat.
Next, Jiang Youzhen shot three arrows in a row, but only one hit the target.
"Anyway, this riding posture is pretty good." Zhao Yin said, and suddenly thought of something.
"Jiang Youzhen is well-known in the capital, but his appearance is as good as his talent. It's really better to meet him in person than to hear about him."
The Fourth Prince heard the frivolous tone in his words and immediately frowned.
Jiang Youzhen pulled the reins and prepared to return leisurely. Anyway, whoever wants the first place will win. After getting the golden soft armor, it depends on who has the ability to protect it.
Touching the horse's back, she felt that it was a really good horse. She couldn't help but think that the horse she used to pull the carriage was very ordinary. If she had her own BMW, the safety performance would be greatly improved. It seemed that she had to find an opportunity to buy a BMW, so she couldn't help but set her sights on Zhang Shouan.
Just as he was returning, the horse, which had been relatively quiet, suddenly became agitated and restless.
The trot turned into a gallop and they strayed from their original route.
The horse was going faster and faster, and Jiang Youzhen hurriedly grabbed the reins, but he didn't dare to tighten them too much. If he did, the horse would go even crazier.
I wanted to change direction, mainly to control it and not hit any obstacles, and then stop when it got tired.
Unexpectedly, the next moment the horse seemed to go crazy, roaring, raising its hooves, and straightening its whole body, almost throwing off the unsuspecting Jiang Youzhen.
Jiang Youzhen quickly hugged the horse's back and leaned on it. The horse's front hooves fell, and it shook even more. It swung its limbs wildly, shaking its body, looking very uncomfortable.
"Oh no, it seems the horse is frightened." Li Dongsheng was the first to notice the abnormality and jumped onto the horse's back.
He rushed out, and at this time the Fourth Prince also discovered something unusual.
"Wind!" The Fourth Prince whistled and shouted.
It’s a pity that at this time Ji Feng didn’t respond to his master’s orders at all, and just kept roaring madly.
The fourth prince roared, grabbed a horse nearby, jumped on it, and ran over.
Fang Zhongyi became very anxious when he saw this. Jiang Youzhen treated him well, so he naturally couldn't put Jiang Youzhen in danger. So he quickly ran to a horse and jumped on it.
Everyone had come to their senses by now, but there were only a few horses in the parade ground. They had all been ridden away, so they could only watch.
