Chapter 601 I don’t deserve it
The rules of the competition are that each person shoots five arrows continuously, and only those that hit the center of the bull's eye count.
At this time, there are no rings on the target, and you can only see who hits the bull's eye.
Jiang Youzhen thought about it and thought that this was a bit harsh! When there is a chance in the future, the number of rings can be designed, which will be more conducive to the soldiers' daily practice.
"Oh wow~ Third cousin is pretty good at archery! He's making great progress and hit the bull's eye with his first arrow." Zhao Yin cheered as soon as he saw Zhao Chi hit the bull's eye.
The royal family members are from the same lineage, and these two are relatives within three generations.
"Good! A good start!" The Fourth Prince nodded.
As he spoke, he suddenly turned to look at Jiang Youzhen, "Do you want to practice on the side? No one will let you go later."
"Ah? That's not necessary, right? It's just an ordinary competition, it doesn't matter if you lose!" Jiang Youzhen was a little puzzled. She was a civil servant and would not go to the battlefield, so why did she have to win?
Moreover, her current archery skills are actually quite good, and she has reached the intermediate level in horseback archery, which is completely sufficient.
I just don't know when the system will reward me with a small success in horse riding and archery. After I achieve a small success, unless I encounter a top master, I can basically just walk sideways.
"The gold-thread soft armor is a good thing, don't you want it?" said the Fourth Prince.
Jiang Youzhen shook his head. "I'm a civilian. I'd better leave these good things to the soldiers on the battlefield! After all, they are life-saving."
The fourth prince laughed when he heard this, "You are wrong. Being an official is just as dangerous. Sometimes, civil servants may be assassinated if they harm the interests of others. There are still defenses on the battlefield, but there is no defense when encountering an assassination.
The golden soft armor is not completely invulnerable, but at least it can protect the vital parts, and wearing it can save a life. Did you know that this dynasty has sent nine imperial inspectors to inspect salt? They were either killed or injured. But this one is lucky, and has been in office for more than two years. "
Jiang Youzhen twitched his lips. Salt is a highly profitable business, so someone must be willing to take the risk.
Cutting off someone's financial resources is like killing their parents. Then they will want your life, right? Kill one by one, and see who dares to come again?
"Then why did Your Highness take out such a treasure? You are a prince, aren't you more dangerous than a civil official? Wouldn't it be safer with the golden soft armor?"
Jiang Youzhen replied, but he was secretly complaining in his heart, isn't it just because you rely on your noble status that others dare not beat you?
"I'm not afraid of thieves stealing, I'm afraid of thieves thinking about it! Sometimes it's a crime to possess a treasure, which is not a good thing."
The Fourth Prince spoke very bluntly, but Jiang Youzhen's heart moved. Could it be that many people are coveting this golden soft armor?
No wonder the eyes of Prince Rong and others were glowing green just now, it turns out they all knew the value of the gold silk soft armor.
"Then if someone wins the first prize, will you really give it to him?" Jiang Youzhen suddenly asked.
Since it is so valuable, maybe there will be people who will be tempted to buy it without caring about their status.
"Send it! Why not? Didn't I just say that it is not necessarily a good thing to be guilty of possessing a treasure?"
The Fourth Prince nodded, looking very casual, as if he didn't care about it at all, and even wanted to give such a treasure away quickly.
"Then let's see who is more powerful! Anyway, I'm just here to make up the numbers and watch the fun!"
Jiang Youzhen was not tempted. With so many people present today, if he really got it, he would never have peace in the future.
What's more, she believed that the system would definitely have a way to save her life. Isn't this better than some gold silk soft armor?
"Right? System, you can't just watch me die, right?"
System: ...Ah?
System: [This system will do its best to protect the host's safety. ]
Jiang Youzhen narrowed his eyes, "What do you mean by maximum limit? It should be the word absolute. I'll give you a chance to repeat it."
System: [Actually, I think the gold-thread soft armor is a good thing. ]
Jiang Youzhen: Haha! Useless Tongzi.
Jiang Youzhen turned around and immediately wondered whether he should go all out. However, when he saw the smiling face of the Fourth Prince, he gave up the idea.
Forget it! The Fourth Prince is so cunning, maybe he has some conspiracy, don't let him be used as a scapegoat!
"Don't you want it? If you want it, I will give it to you!" the Fourth Prince suddenly said.
Uh... Jiang Youzhen was speechless. Don’t do this, the child is scared!
"How can I have such ability? It's already a prize, I can't win the first prize. Your Highness's words are golden, I can't ask you to break your promise. Besides, such a treasure should be put to good use! I don't deserve it."
Are you kidding? Who dares to take this hot potato? She doesn't want it.
“Whether it’s worthy or not is not your decision. If I change the prize, they won’t have any objection.” The Fourth Prince’s tone was full of arrogance.
Yes, yes, yes! You are the prince, who dares to be dissatisfied?
Jiang Youzhen seriously suspected that the Fourth Prince was setting a trap for him, and of course he would not agree to it.
"Won't this discourage everyone's enthusiasm? No, no! I'm not that greedy." Jiang Youzhen shook his head like a rattle. Whoever wants to be the first to take the lead can do it.
"The golden silk soft armor was the work of a skilled craftsman in the previous dynasty. Even when he was alive, he spent all his efforts to make only this one piece. After his death, no one could make such a treasure.
It's a pity, otherwise if the soldiers at the border could all wear them, there wouldn't be so many casualties."
The Fourth Prince's tone was full of regret, but Jiang Youzhen was complaining in his heart, the production process is complicated, and the material has to be gold. Are you sure that with such technology, the court will be willing to spend this money?
Just listen to the sighs of those in power; what they want is fame.
"Your Highness cares about the common people, which is a blessing for all living beings."
You are no longer ordinary people, but have been elevated to all living beings. You should be satisfied, right?
The fourth prince couldn't help laughing. Jiang Youzhen didn't know how she had developed this skill of praising people. No matter what you do, she can always find something to praise you. It all depends on whether she is willing to do it!
Yuan Shang, who was standing behind the two of them, rolled his eyes. He had been a eunuch in the palace since he was a child, and he had put a lot of thought into being chosen for His Highness.
Jiang Youzhen was able to make His Highness smile with just a few words, and made His Highness treat her so well. This can be considered a kind of talent, right?
Fortunately, Jiang Youzhen did not enter the palace, otherwise there would be no place for him in this palace. Even the chief steward Zhou had to give way to others.
Jiang Youzhen glanced at Fang Zhongyi and saw that his face was full of excitement and his eyes were shining with a determined light.
He slightly turned sideways and walked towards Fang Zhongyi.
At that time, good news came from the other side. The prince of Rong was hit by two arrows at once, still thirty feet away.
Seeing Fang Zhongyi getting more and more excited, Jiang Youzhen couldn't help but whispered to remind him: "It's not so easy to get the first place. The tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. Sometimes being too prominent is not a good thing."
Fang Zhongyi was stunned when he heard this, then nodded.
"I know. Thank you for reminding me."
