Chapter 333: You Lost (2/2)

Fang Zhengzhi understood.

Only Princess Shan Yu had the power to explain this privilege.

”Don’t you at least have to give me the arrow?” Fang Zhengzhi didn’t continue chattering and quickly reached out his hand towards the two generals beside him.

General Tai’s expression changed slightly and tilted his head to one side.

On the other hand, General Mu helplessly grabbed a quiver from his back and threw it into Fang Zhengzhi’s hand.

”Where’s the bow?” Fang Zhengzhi continued to reach out his hand.

”What the hell, what kind of spy are you. Using our military terms, you are already counted a scout. Why do you have nothing on you?” General Tai was somewhat enraged. As a spy, couldn’t you at least have some awareness and bring a bow and arrow when you leave?

”Actually, this is my first time as a spy, I have no experience… Sigh, if I was experienced, I wouldn’t be caught by you people so quickly. Am I right?” Fang Zhengzhi said regretfully.

”At least you finally said something true!” General Tai lightly nodded his head when he heard this, and unexpectedly fished out a rattan bow and threw it to Fang Zhengzhi.

Fang Zhengzhi reached out his hand to catch it.

And realised that this bow was rather heavy. Even though it was made with rattan, its toughness and hardness all seemed not too bad. As he pulled the bow…

”I can’t pull it, change one for me!” Fang Zhengzhi flicked his arm and threw the bow back to General Tai.

”Ha ha ha… you can’t even pull the bow, yet you dare to challenge Princess Shan Yu? How interesting!” When General Tai heard this, he laughed so hard that he almost fell off his horse.

When General Mu saw this, he shook his head somewhat helplessly. Gazing at Fang Zhengzhi, he whistled.

Not too long later, a soldier in rattan armor ran over from a distance away.

Holding a light bow in his hand.

Fang Zhengzhi received the bow and tried pulling it, revealing a strenuous expression on his face. He seemed somewhat out of breath.

When General Tai and General Mu saw this, they glanced at one another with looks of despise and disdain in their eyes. They sighed to themselves. If they had known that this kid was so weak, what was the point of wasting both of their time doing this?

However, despite this, General Tai and General Mu continued to remain completely vigilant.

After all, this was a big event that concerned Princess Shan Yu’s safety. Even if the possibility was one in a million, there mustn’t be the slightest form of carelessness.

Fang Zhengzhi didn’t pay further attention to the two generals behind him.

He drew the bow and loaded the arrow.

Shoot!

”Woosh!” The arrow hit the center of the target.

”Huh?” General Tai softly let out a sound of surprise. He hadn’t expected Fang Zhengzhi to have such advanced archery skills despite his weak strength.

Luck?

Just as he thought, Fang Zhengzhi shot another arrow.

Thud!

It hit the center of the target again.

Hitting twice in a row?

This caused General Tai and General Mu’s expression to change slightly. Archery on horseback sounded easy, but it was actually very difficult to hit the target while travelling at high speeds.

Even more so for hitting the bullseye.

”Don’t tell me this kid…” General Tai’s expression sunk slightly.

Just as he prepared to speak, Fang Zhengzhi’s third arrow had left. The arrow traced a beautiful parabola in the air before landing with a thud.

He hit the target.

However, it wasn’t the center of the target board. Instead, it was a few inches away from the bullseye.

”Damn… my shot was off!” Fang Zhengzhi sighed regretfully.

General Tai and General Mu heaved a sigh of relief. They had to admit that Fang Zhengzhi’s archery skills were rather good. However, compared to Princess Shan Yu.

There was still some disparity.

Of course, compared to the two of them, there was also a rather great disparity.

Hence, the both of them relaxed once again.

Fang Zhengzhi continued to charge forwards, drawing his bow and shooting arrows on the way. It had almost established a pattern that there would be either two arrows on the bullseye or all three arrows on the bullseye.

But, there would sometimes be deviations.

In total, Fang Zhengzhi had shot seven targets. There had already been around three arrows outside the bullseye.

The eighth target - all three arrows hit their mark.

The ninth target - once again, all three arrows hit their mark.

Fang Zhengzhi seemed extremely happy. However, General Tai and General Mu’s expression were unconcerned. Little kid, you missed three arrows. You are already a dead man.

Not too long later, the tenth target appeared in front of him.

In front of the position of the tenth target, Princess Shan Yu, her body covered with a blood-like cloud pattern, sat on her bright-red beast with a cold smile on her face.

”How is it?” Princess Shan Yu looked at Fang Zhengzhi, then looked at the two generals behind him and asked casually.

”Princess, this kid had hit the target for all nine of the previous targets. In total, he hit twenty-four bullseye. Three are outside the bull-eye.” When General Tai heard Princess Shan Yu’s words, he instantly replied respectfully.

”Oh? He is actually not completely useless!” When Princess Shan Yu heard that he hit twenty-four bullseye, she seemed slightly surprised.

Fang Zhengzhi didn’t speak. Because, not too far away from Princess Shan Yu were countless Silver Horned Wolves which were at least two meters tall.

On the body of each Silver Horned Wolf sat a soldier in rattan armour.

He finally understood why Princess Shan Yu would place the tenth target here. Because, this location was closest to the Silver Horned Wolf cavalry.

There were almost five hundred Silver Horned Wolf cavalry soldiers.

Adding on Princess Shan Yu herself and the two generals behind him.

There wasn’t the slightest chance of capturing Princess Shan Yu.

”Silent? Do you think that you can live if you remain silent? If you lose, you die!” Princess Shan Yu looked at the silent Fang Zhengzhi and smiled coldly.

Immediately after, she propped her arm beside the bowstring.

At this moment, there was a fiery red bow on Princess Shan Yu’s hand. It seemed to have been crafted with a red coloured wood. However, even though he was very far away, Fang Zhengzhi could still feel that steaming heat emitted by the wood.

”Fire Rattan Wood?” Fang Zhengzhi had seen a small piece of such a wood in the Ping Yang Residence. It was regarded by Ping Yang like a great treasure, and seemed to have been placed on her Blazing Qilin Spear as a decorative ornament.

Who would have thought that over here, Princess Shan Yu made it into a bow.

”Woosh!” The cry of an arrow pierced the air.

Immediately after, a powerful arrow streaked across the sky, its tail glowing with a fiery red colour. Finally, it landed securely at the bullseye of the tenth target.

”Great archery skills Princess!”

”Congratulations Princess for winning this competition!”

When General Tai and General Mu saw the arrow land on the tenth target, they instantly congratulated Princess Shan Yu respectfully.

On the other hand, Fang Zhengzhi was slightly dazed. Because, when Princess Shan Yu drew her bow, the cloud pattern on her body began to move gradually. The cloud pattern even flashed with an extremely abnormal light.

It seemed to be fire, and seemed to be blood. It might also be a combination of fire and blood, flowing slowly on Princess Shan Yu’s body.
