Chapter 264

The owner of this figure was Zhuo Yibai who had left not long ago. He held a bow in his right hand and a big black bird in his left hand. His body was covered with blood, even his clothes were stained with blood, but this could not conceal his A powerful murderous aura and awe-inspiring aura emanating from his whole body.

He got off his horse, threw the big bird to the guards at the side, wiped the blood from his hands, and said to Kunyu: "Thanks to the cloak presented by the princess, Zhuo was lucky enough to get it. As for the big bird, it belongs to the princess. "

Kunyu looked at the guard's hand and looked carefully. The feathers of the big bird were pure black and shiny, like a dense cloud in the dark night. It seemed to be a bird of prey.

Being able to shoot a bird of prey in such a short period of time is enough to prove that archery is good.

"In this case, I have the audacity to accept your gift." She readily agreed, and with a thought, she said again: "Mr. Zhuo's archery skills are extraordinary, I am amazed by you, I wonder if I can teach you something?"

Zhuo Yibai was stunned for a moment, "Don't dare."

Kunyu raised her lips and smiled, her tone was soft, "Master Zhuo, you don't need to be cautious. It would be an honor for me if you can get Mr. Zhuo to guide you personally."

After all, she took the bow and arrow from Zhuo Yibai's hand first, and caught off guard, her slender fingers touched Zhuo Yibai's palm without hesitation, making him stiff suddenly.

The surrounding attendants also showed surprise eyes, but the few personal maids brought by Kunyu were not surprised, they seemed to be used to it.

Ye Zhaoyan looked at the woman's figure and the intimate distance between the two, and felt a strange feeling in his heart.

Zhuo Yibai lightly swept across the other's wrist, looking at the slender and tender fingertips, he couldn't help frowning.

But Kunyu didn't notice it, she just lowered her head and stared at the bow and arrow in her hand, her eyes were focused, as if immersed in some kind of wonderful situation, she aimed the arrow in her hand into the distance, slowly pulled the bowstring, followed her wrist With a flick, the arrow flew out and went straight into the tree, leaving only the tail of the arrow trembling slightly.

She bent slightly, put away the bow and arrow, and smiled at Zhuo Yibai: "I just want to see Mr. Zhuo's arrow skills."

While speaking, her hand climbed onto the cloak on his chest, gently smoothed out the folds, then slid down the chest to the graceful collarbone, and finally settled near the throat.

Her expression was lazy and charming, and a sly smile flashed in her pair of phoenix eyes.

Zhuo Yibai looked at her cheek, and suddenly stretched out his hand to hold her hand, stopping her movement, and took a step back calmly, keeping an appropriate distance from this golden and jade princess.

"If the princess really wants to see it, I will naturally not refuse," Zhuo Yibai lowered his eyes, "It's just... I'm afraid that the princess will be frightened after seeing my archery skills, after all..."

Kun Yu smiled slightly, as if not aware of his alienation just now, and continued to ask: "Oh? How can you be frightened?"

Before she finished speaking, her arms tightened suddenly, and in the next second, she was gently pushed away by a force, lost her center of gravity, and fell backwards on the uneven slope.

Because she practiced arrows, there was a distance of more than one foot between her and the other servants, and for a while, no one had time to save her.

Seeing that Kunyu was about to roll down the slope covered with maple leaves, a crisp sound of piercing the air suddenly came, and a silver arrow in Zhuo Yibai's hand pierced the air and came towards her.

Kunyu was stunned by the sudden movement, her eyes widened subconsciously, and she fell back in a daze.The arrow was about to stab her in the head, and finally brushed her sideburns narrowly past, and pierced behind her.

She suddenly felt a bump in her waist, and a solid force supported her, but her body leaned forward due to inertia, causing her to fall to the grass.

At the same time, several voices came from my ears: "Your Highness, how are you doing?!"

Kunyu looked up and saw the maidservants around her supporting her. Behind them, in the backlight, stood a tall and slender man in a white shirt, holding a long bow not far away.

Not far away, the red cloak fluttered on the ground, lying quietly on the yellowish grass.

She looked back in the direction where the bow and arrow had just been shot, and saw a tree trunk lying on the ground, and it was it that supported her falling body.

Kunyu rubbed her sore elbow, stood up, raised her eyes to look at Zhuo Yibai, and saw that his brows were handsome and picturesque, his facial features were stern and handsome, and his eyes under the sword eyebrows and starry eyes were deep and deep, as if he could see the world Everything, people can't help but hold their breath, not daring to get close.

Such a person undoubtedly has excellent skin and temperament.

Her gaze met his gaze impartially, and when she saw that his eyes were completely frosted, her heart was shocked, as if something had hit her hard into her heart——

She knew that it must be a manifestation of heart palpitations, but the feeling at that moment was so familiar that she almost mistook it for him.

However, that person died two years ago...

She shook her head, to get rid of the inexplicable sour emotions in her heart, then turned to look at Zhuo Yibai at the side, and asked, "Master Zhuo behaved like this, but do you think this palace's request is a bit abrupt?"

Zhuo Yibai smiled slightly, gentle and elegant, "Princess's request is certainly right. However, I don't know how to shoot, and I'm not good at teaching others. It's inevitable that my skills will hurt people."

"Mr. Zhuo is serious." Kunyu walked up and said with a smile, "Mr. Zhuo is a heroic figure, so how can he be such a mediocre person?"

She tilted her head, and directed to the maid on the side, "Go get a pair of archery targets."

The servant girl took the order and left, and in a moment came with an arrow target.

At this time, the sky was bright, and the sun was shining on the ground like water, illuminating the surrounding scene. A towering tree lay in the center of the valley, its luxuriant branches and leaves covered half of the sky, and the occasional wind blew through, bringing a touch of bleakness and desolation.

Just when Ye Zhaoyan thought that the two of them would continue to compete in archery, Kunyu stood in front of the towering tree and asked someone to nail the arrow target to the trunk behind him.

The group of people is only tens of meters away from the target, so shooting arrows like this is too simple.

Zhuo Yibai obviously also had such doubts, but soon, he understood the intention of the other party - Kunyu's maid took a cloth belt and asked him to cover his eyes, and she stood in front of him, barely blocking the tree trunk. , revealing the small archery target.

"Mr. Zhuo is self-effacing, but I believe in your archery." She smiled calmly, "I am willing to use myself as bait, and I hope you will not hesitate to teach me."

Kunyu actually wants to risk her own body to test Zhuo Yibai's archery skills!
This kind of behavior is really dangerous, even if the other party is an arrogant and brave princess, it will make the people on the side feel worried, especially the imperial guards present.

Although they were ordered to protect the princess's safety, they were the emperor's confidantes. They didn't have much affection for this delicate princess. On the contrary, they felt that she was confused because of the princess's behavior, so they all became more vigilant.
