Book 14 Chapter 04 – The Incredible Talented Lady Ji

An endless sea of tents and flags can be seen west of the River Jing

Xiang Shaolong, Ji Yanran, Wu Tingfang, Zhao Zhi and the Tian sisters are situated on a little hill near the royal tent They were observing all the excite below them

It may not be a real battle but theto the military law

A the seven states, Qin has the heaviest e child would have learnt some form of martial arts and everyone is somewhat familiar with military formations

Since the terrain is wide grassland with no cover, a square campsite has been laid out

Xiao Pan’s tent is situated in the centre of the defending gates and is akin to a ates are about twenty tents which belong to the royal fa who share a special relationshi+p with the rulers of Qin

On the two sides of the defending gates are two defending arwen respectively Xiao Pan has direct control over the aruard his own safety

The other soldiers are based in all four directions and act as defenders Xiang Shaolong’s cavalry ar the entire cauard or a distraction to a potential enemy

Besides the roups of ten and the space between theht horses to travel side by side

There are soet boards for hunters to practise their shooting skills, riding skills and even sword skills These areas are especially crowded like a festive parade

It is now four hours away fro hunt and everyone is enthusiastically asse one another

The round near the royal tent has becoaround the area for their chance to interact with them Thus, this area is much livelier than the others

Sounds of horses braying and people talking filled the air

The strong wind began to blow and the flags unfurledfair

Ji Yanran has been updated on everything that has happened and s is about to attack, he will first set fire to the tents furthest away fro the southeast wind, the fire will spread towards us and we can only escape by crossing the river and hiding at the north shore of River Jing”

Xiang Shaolong and the ladies turned their attention to the tooden bridges and were shocked If the two bridges are destroyed, the consequences will be uniinable

Even if the two bridges are intact, they cannot support so Those who are unable to cross the bridge will have to swi the chaos, it will be an easy feat for Lu Buwei to carry out his assassination

He recalled that Guan Zhongxie will ‘heroically’ escort Zhu Ji and Xiao Pan across the river to safety while he will ‘die of poisoning’ and Guan Zhongxie will ‘score a huge y

Rainfall is scarce and a fire attack is hard to prevent Moreover, Lord Gaoling is familiar with the tents and in fact, his own tent is located at the southeast part of the campsite He can easily set fire as Ji Yanran predicted

In addition, during the night hunt, every hunter would be busy in the west forests and their defences will be lacking That would be the ideal time to ambush the Crown Prince and Zhu Ji

If the Lord Changping brothers are killed in battle, it is possible that Lu Buwei can insert his own subordinates to replace theuards

Xiang Shaolong took a deep breath and re’s ambush like a fortune teller Therefore, we must pay close attention to the southeast tents Theflammable materials to that area, ill knohen they will strike”

Ji Yanran was overjoyed at his praise and smiled sweetly back at him

Hoof beats can be heard as Lord Changwen rode up to hiround to join in the fun!”

The ladies turned around to face hiirls with an intoxicated look on his face He sighed: “Good evening ladies Ai! I aood fortune”

Wu Tingfang chortled and swen finished his duties?”

Lord Changwen put on a busy expression and reported: “Empress and Crown Prince have settled down and Grand Tutor Qin is chatting with the Empress noas ordered to inform you ladies about this”

Xiang Shaolong yawned: “You go ahead and have fun! I wished to catch some sleep in my tent”

Lord Changwen burst out laughing and rode ahead between Xiang Shaolong and Ji Yanran As he rode past Xiang Shaolong, he grabbed onto his horse’s reins and dragged hi to have some fun!”

The ladies saw Xiang Shaolong helplessly being dragged down the hill and giggled with laughter They then chased them down the slope

Sou! Three arroere shot out in succession and all three hit the bull’s eye of a target three hundred feet away The observers cheered and clapped loudly

The archer Ying Ying proudly scanned her audience and cried: “Who else is next?”

The variousthem, they are afraid to lose face if they failed to better her record For soe

Guan Zhongxie laughed: “Our best shooter a the female warriors is invincible Of course no one dares to accept her challenge”

Ying Ying was delighted at his praise and shot hilance The other ive it a try

Xiang Shaolong dis’s archery skills He can hit the bull’s eye with one arrow but definitely not with three arrows in succession No wonder Ying Ying is so arrogant

When the fe, every one of them had a look of displeasure on their faces but when they saw Ji Yanran, their expressions became envious

Lu Dan’er stepped out fro recovered fro arroith your sword but I wonder how good are your archery skills?”

Nearly a thousand pair of eyes looked at Xiang Shaolong before shi+fting over to Ji Yanran

Ji Yanran naturally knew the level her husband’s archery skill and recognizes that the people of Qin valuesrefuses to participate because of his injury, he will be ridiculed by the people of Qin Grinning, she took off her cloak and revealed a figure-hugging white suit She gracefully stepped forward and asked in her sweet voice: “Can I give it a try?” Her casual de disposition caused everyone present to be mesmerized by her

When she finished speaking, everyone cheered at her decision and her attractive and athletic display

Ying Ying shot a vicious look at Ji Yanran before she reluctantly stretched out to pass her the bow

Ji Yanran noticed that Ying Ying is standing using the horse stance and guessed that she wanted to play a trick on her Out of a sudden, she grabbed onto the end of the bow and applied doard pressure Before Ying Ying could retaliate, the bow has been pried from her hands into the hands of the maiden who is even prettier than herself

Even Guan Zhongxie was taken aback

Standing besides Xiang Shaolong, Lord Changhispered: “It is good to curb that arrogant sister of mine!”

Ying Ying did not anticipate Ji Yanran to see through her trick and dejectedly returned to Lu Dan’er’s side

Two cavalry soldiers happily stepped forward and presented three arrows to Ji Yanran

Ji Yanran pretended that everything is the same and leisurely fitted the arrows to her bohilethat sweet smile on her face

The crowd quietened down

In a whirl of actions, Ji Yanran fired three arrows one after another while the crowd stared with theirstars

She fired her first arroith her back to the target board and her second arroith a backhand It was only until the final arrow did she face the target board properly

Zng! The first arrow hit the bull’s eye while the second arrow split the first arrow into two and the final arrow split the second arrow into two It was as if she is the Goddess of Archery No one could believe their eyes Without question, her archery skill is way above Ying Ying’s

The crowd burst out into wild cheering which lasted for some time

Ji Yanran is furious at Ying Ying and Lu Dan’er for ‘bullying’ her husband and did not even spare thelance She curtseyed to the crowd and left without a word

Xiang Shaolong can tell that their ‘hatred’ is beco more intense

An escort ca for him
