Chapter 203 A Sudden Provocation
Chapter 203 A Sudden Provocation
Suddenly, a feather arrow broke through the air and shot towards Bai Chuxiao.
Song Le'er and Shen Xuanxuan were both shocked. This arrow seemed to be aimed at them.
"Be careful," Yu Fengyang exclaimed
Bai Chuxiao jumped lightly, grabbed the arrow with his backhand and threw it back.
The archer obviously didn't expect such a change, and he didn't have time to dodge the arrow that was shot straight at him.
It was not until the arrow was about to hit him that he hurriedly stepped back and fell to the ground.
Bai Chuxiao obviously didn't want his name, and the arrow just nailed to the ground between his legs.
Looking at the arrow nailed to the ground next to his thigh, the man turned pale with fear.
"This is the rebel you subdued," Bai Chuxiao said calmly, turning her head.
Yu Fengyang looked unhappy and said angrily, "Catch him for me!"
In fact, before Feng Yang could speak, two men in black had already appeared behind the archer and picked him up and threw him in front of the three people.
Song Hang, who was at the innermost part, heard the noise and hurriedly came out with two young men in their thirties.
"Princess!" Song Hang said respectfully.
The two young men behind him also hurriedly said, "Subordinates, Zhang Zhi, Yang Feng greet the princess."
Bai Chuxiao nodded slightly. These two must be the thousand households and hundred households that can be used.
Zhang Zhi's face darkened as soon as he saw the person being pinned down on the ground. He kicked him and said angrily, "Asshole, who gave you the courage to shoot an arrow at the princess?"
Bai Chuxiao lowered her head and looked at the scene calmly. Her right hand hanging by her side felt numb. She really had to pay the price for pretending to be cool.
This person's archery skills are obviously pretty good. She looks cool when she catches the arrow with her bare hands, but it's actually very painful, even with her internal strength...
The man on the ground rolled his eyes and said, "I didn't mean to shoot the princess. The princess is fine, but why did the two women behind him also come to inspect the military camp?"
The Princess of Yan, as the Princess of Changning appointed by the previous emperor, had been on the battlefield before. The soldiers had heard of it before, and she was also on the battlefield herself this time.
But what right did those two women have? As a famous archer in Qizhou Guard, he was still a little arrogant. He admired the Princess of Yan very much, but it didn't mean that he could completely accept other women entering and leaving the military camp.
Zhang Zhi was a little annoyed and looked at Song Hang, Song Le'er and others apologetically.
He had a good relationship with the archer, so he persuaded him to surrender. He thought that with his ability, even if he was not reused, he would not be worse than before in Qizhou Guard.
Who would have thought that the princess would come with her people for inspection today and cause him such a fuss?
Fortunately, the princess and Song Le'er were not injured, otherwise, this group of people would definitely not have a good ending.
Does this bastard know that they are prisoners? Is it really okay to be so arrogant? So what if they are women? Those two are also from military families. How can they be worse than you?
Song Le'er and Shen Xuanxuan's faces were filled with frost. It turned out that the arrow was really aimed at them.
"Princess, thank you for what you did just now. How are you?" Shen Xuanxuan asked quickly.
Bai Chuxiao gave him a reassuring look.
Zhang Zhi's forehead was covered with sweat, and he couldn't help but want to kick again. This was not giving them a chance to live. Didn't he know how tragically the former commander and governor died? He wanted to die himself, but he also wanted to implicate them.
Bai Chuxiao calmly stopped him, then smiled and said to the man on the ground, "Do you think your archery skills are amazing? Do you think you are a master archer?"
The man didn't say anything, but his eyes were full of arrogance. He might be a bit of an archer, but he thought his archery skills were also top-notch.
Bai Chuxiao smiled and said, "Yes, I always admire people with ability. Le'er Xuanxuan, since they look down on women, you can let this archer see your archery skills."
These two have been with her for a while, and she has taught them a lot. They have worked very hard, and although they may still have some shortcomings, their archery skills are not bad.
Shen Xuanxuan and Song Le'er nodded, "Yes, Princess."
According to the princess, status is earned through fighting, and if they want to be respected, they must speak with strength!
The man on the ground curled his lips in disdain. It was good enough for two delicate young ladies to be able to draw the bow, what was the point of talking about archery...
Song Le'er and Shen Xuanxuan took the bow and arrow handed over by a soldier.
Then, without further ado, they both drew their bows and shot arrows at the sky above their heads. A bird flying in the sky cried out sharply and fell to the ground.
Soon someone picked up the fallen bird and brought it back. Bai Chuxiao glanced at the person on the ground, and the soldier understood and placed the dead bird in front of the person on the ground.
There were two arrows stuck in the bird's body and both arrows were shot at the same place, only half an inch apart, with the arrows next to each other in the most fatal place.
Bai Chuxiao looked at the people on the ground and said calmly, "They haven't been learning for long. What do you think of their archery skills? Can they be assigned to the military camp?"
The archer was silent for a while, then he lowered his head and said, "It's my fault, please punish me, Princess."
The archery skills of these two women were not better than his, but they were not as bad as he imagined. They were even much better than other ordinary soldiers in Qizhouwei.
If even the two women around the princess could do this, and they had only been learning for a short time, then he really had nothing to be proud of, and he was even less worthy of speaking ill of them.
Bai Chuxiao said calmly: "Since you have already surrendered, why are you still shooting arrows at will? If I don't punish you, how can I convince the people? Take you away and give you 50 military sticks to serve as a warning to others."
Zhang Zhi's face showed joy, "Thank you, Princess." He originally thought that this guy would definitely die, but he didn't expect that the princess would spare his life.
The archer obviously didn't expect this result. He was stunned for a moment and couldn't react.
Zhang Zhi kicked him secretly and whispered, "Why don't you thank me?"
"Thank you, Princess," the archer said quickly after coming to his senses.
After the person was taken away, Yu Fengyang said with some shame, "Princess, this is my negligence."
Although the arrow was not aimed at the princess, it was the princess' fault for blocking it. If Chu Tianze knew about this, he would definitely get a beating.
Song Hang, Zhang Zhi and Yang Feng also said hurriedly, "It is our subordinates who are incompetent. Please punish us, Princess."
Bai Chuxiao smiled faintly and said, "Alright, there are bound to be arrogant people in the army, it's normal, I won't do it again next time."
"Yes"
Yu Fengyang then slowly introduced the two people, "Princess, this is what I just said, Captain Zhang and Captain Yang, they have made great contributions this time."
Bai Chuxiao nodded to the two of them, "Well, since General Yu believes in you, I naturally believe in you too. Captain Yang will be promoted to Captain, and from now on, the troops in Qizhou will be in your charge."
Yang Feng and Zhang Zhi were overjoyed and said, "Thank you, Princess."
