Heaven

Jing Mingrui felt that he could understand the other person's feelings very well, because he himself had been looking forward to this day for a long time.

————————————————————————————————————

Ji Kongqing ignored the skeptical eyes around him, and continued to speak loudly: "I implore Your Majesty to borrow a bow and arrow, and please place seven lit candles as targets three hundred steps away."

It's definitely not Jing Hao's style to ignore the excitement, so he hit the spot right away with a big wave of his hand.

In a short time, a guard brought some bows and arrows, and someone found seven large candles as thick as the forearm and lit them, and put them on the copper crane candlestick, and placed them properly at a distance.

Everyone at the table squinted their eyes, looking at the distant candle flames, the faint flames were only the size of a grain of rice.They couldn't help sweating because Mr. Kong Qing uttered lies.

Ji Kongqing pulled a few bows and arrows sent by the guards, tested the feel, and kept one of the hard Zhe wood bows.He turned around and took seven arrows from the bow bag, walked to the target and stood still.

Ji Kongqing carefully lined up six arrows on the low table in front of him.He picked up the remaining one and put it on the bowstring, stretched his arms lightly, and gently and deftly pulled away a strong bow of four stones, quietly aiming at the candlelight in the distance...

The people around couldn't help but praise secretly in their hearts, regardless of whether Mr. Kong Qing shot or not, just looking at this posture, today's trip is worthwhile.

The beauty with red makeup is as immobile as a mountain.

Although the beauty's mouth is exaggerated a bit, but the appearance is indeed pleasing to the eye.

Just listening to the "swish, swish" sound of the bowstring, the seven candle lights in the distance went out one by one!

This time, both the Jing people and the Chu people were so shocked that their jaws dislocated.

You must know that there is almost no time to aim in the middle of such continuous shooting.

Ji Kongqing can shoot seven arrows in a row with a strong bow, hitting a target [-] paces away. This kind of archery is really unheard of!

When the guards retrieved the candle in the distance, everyone watched carefully, only to find that the candle was not damaged at all, and even the wick was intact.

Ji Kongqing turned out to use the wind pressure from the arrow to extinguish the candle just in time, which is really miraculous.

The people present asked themselves, if they were themselves, they would definitely not be able to do it. I really did not expect that a "close minister" of His Majesty Jing Emperor could have such skill.

I sighed for a while at the archery skills of Mr. Kong Qing, and everyone couldn't help but glance at the expression of the fifth prince.

Jing Mingrui, who had a mocking expression on his face, turned red and white at the same time, and his enchanting facial features looked really good-looking.

Jing Mingfei was secretly happy to see him deflated, who told you to underestimate my Jia Qinger?I didn't expect Qing'er to have such skills, which is really heartbreaking.

He was also afraid that the favored fifth emperor brother would become angry and wanted to harm Ji Kongqing, so he took the initiative to smooth things over: "The fifth emperor brother thinks he knew that Mr. Kongqing's archery skills are extraordinary, so he wanted to surprise father? Hahaha , this special show is really good!"

Jing Mingrui said in his heart that the fourth child has become a roundworm in my heart this time!

I did know that early on.

Because arm strength and eyesight are easy to hide, I specially picked this skill for him to practice secretly, but today he can't admit it even if he is beaten to death.

Jing Mingrui's fluctuating complexion finally calmed down.

He waved his hands and said loudly: "Fourth brother, you don't have to excuse me, I really looked down on him at the beginning. I just didn't expect Brother Ji to have real skills. Lianzhu arrows... Lianzhu arrows... Could it be the chasing clouds of the Qin family in Jingguo? Arrow? Brother Ji can be regarded as better than blue than blue!"

Ji Kongqing gave him a gentle smile: "The fifth prince has won the prize."

Jing Mingrui waved his hands again and again: "Don't call me the fifth prince, I'll call you Brother Ji bluntly, just call me Mingrui."

"Hehe——" he smiled awkwardly, "Brother Ji is a hero of the world, and his archery skills are amazing. Little brother, I didn't recognize a real hero just now. I hope you can forgive me. I'm here to apologize to you in front of everyone. .” After Jing Mingrui finished speaking, he scoffed at Ji Kongqing.

Ji Kongqing hurriedly returned the gift.

"Brother Ji, I happen to be short of a bow battalion commander in Tianshu Camp. Anyway, you live in Danyang and have nothing to do. Why don't you come and help me?" He took Ji Kongqing's hand and sincerely extended the invitation.

Jing Hao also couldn't understand what his beloved son was thinking in his heart——

Who is he after?

Or is he not interested in anyone at all?

Asking Ji Kongqing to perform archery in public is obviously to distract everyone's attention from his appearance.

Could it be that Rui'er simply wanted to find a helper for herself, and wanted to wash away Ji Kongqing's reputation as a good luck first?

Although Ji Kongqing is a member of the royal family, well-clothed and well-fed, and a close minister of the emperor, but his status in Jing country is embarrassing, and now he is given to Da Chu as a plaything. If he really hides some skills, it is not bad for me to use him .

but--

How did Rui'er get on the line with him?

If this is the case, life is really boring. When will I be able to hug the grandson?

Jing Yan couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

But fortunately, he did not forget the main task of today, and quickly echoed Jing Mingrui: "Knowing mistakes can be corrected, and there is nothing good about it. Kong Qing, although Rui'er was a little shameful before, she has already apologized in person, so you don't want to If you mind, go to Tianshu Camp to help Rui'er."

Jing Mingfei was dumbfounded immediately, how did things take a turn for the worse?The royal father actually wants to hand over Qing'er to the fifth emperor's younger brother?

"Father, you should think twice about this..."

"Kongqing obeys the order!"

Jing Mingfei's words that just came to his lips were overshadowed by Ji Kongqing's sonorous and forceful reply.

"Okay!" The emperor's golden words made a final decision, and it would be difficult to turn around this matter.

Emperor Chu immediately announced that the banquet would continue...

After the meeting, the Jing country envoys who returned to the exclusive post house were at a loss when they recalled the situation just now.

Why did Emperor Chu not enjoy the charming little beauty that Emperor Chu specially asked for, and did not give it to the fourth prince who was said to have a close relationship with him, but was sent to the military camp of the fifth prince?

The strangest thing is that Mr. Kong Qing is so good at archery?

Why didn't anyone mention it when I was in Jing country?Could it be that he had other purposes with His Majesty before, and was willing to live in the palace as a "favorite" in order to deceive others?

But isn't chasing clouds and arrows the unique skill of General Qin?How could Mr. Kong Qing, a collateral descendant of the royal family, learn it?Could it be that the general is actually an insider, and it is more likely that Mr. Kongqing was specially trained by him?

Then how could such a hidden master be easily given to Chu State?

Could it be that His Majesty has other plans...

The envoys suddenly fell silent when they thought of this, and did not dare to think about it any further.

In the middle of the night, a large carriage drove into Beiying. The curtains on the carriage were rolled up to a corner by the wind, revealing a pale jade hand clutching the window pane...

Tianshu camp resident——

"Mr. Ji, you can stay in this barracks temporarily. It's getting late today, and I will arrange a place for you in the new barracks tomorrow. I will accompany you to the military service department to pick up your equipment tomorrow." The little soldier who led the way helped Said while moving things.

In fact, there are not many things in Ji Kongqing's carriage, only a few clothes and some books, but seeing Ji Kongqing's frail appearance, this little soldier must help him carry it.

"Boot camp?" What's that place?Ji Kongqing was puzzled.

"Mr. Ji, you don't know that anyone who wants to enter the Tianshu camp must first train in the new barracks for three months, and then pass the selection before he can officially join. It doesn't exceed the rules, and there are no exceptions!" Seeing that Ji Kongqing looked like a new recruit, the little soldier added another sentence.

He suddenly remembered Mr. Chen, the last counselor who entered the new barracks. He was full of "disgraceful" at the beginning, but it didn't take long for him to lie on the side and pant...

God bless, I hope this Mr. Ji can survive.

"Why do counselors and ministers have to practice first?" Ji Kongqing was in a very good mood now, and asked curiously.

"I don't know what the commander thinks, but the commander said that the soldiers should just follow the military orders, and don't think too much about things that you don't understand." The little soldier said while stacking Ji Kongqing's books on the case. Put it neatly, and quickly help spread the bedding.

Ji Kongqing thought to himself, maybe Mingrui is afraid that the literati will not be able to keep up with the march, or maybe he hopes that his advisers will be trained and live for a few years?

"Mr. Ji, you go to bed early, I'll go first. I'll call you again tomorrow morning, there are still many things to do!"

The little soldier walked to the door and remembered something, turned around, took out a booklet and handed it to Ji Kongqing: "By the way, this is the camp regulation of Tianshu Camp, everyone must memorize it. But don't worry , take your time, you will have to take the exam in the selection after three months."

Ji Kongqing took a look at the booklet, which was only about a dozen pages long, and he could memorize it after reading it once.

But a new question arose in his mind: "Does everyone in the camp know how to read?"

"Ah? I know a little bit. There is a teacher in the new barracks. The main reason is to learn how to read the camp rules. Smarter ones can learn a few more words. If they are really stupid and can't read them, they can recite them in their mouths." selected."

The little soldier suddenly remembered that this booklet was silently written by him during the selection, and there were a few typos in it that were circled and corrected by the examiner, and he felt a little embarrassed.He sneaked a glance and found that Ji Kongqing didn't have any special expression, so he was relieved.

"By the way, the most important one, don't go out casually at night, or you will be punished if you violate the camp rules." The little guard gave the last order before leaving.

The moon was shining brightly tonight, although Ji Kongqing felt a little tired after traveling all day, he didn't feel sleepy at all.

He gently pushed open the door and walked into the courtyard, looking up at the starry sky covered by thin clouds.

Ji Kongqing was watching intently, when a cold voice suddenly sounded beside him: "You are so brave, didn't anyone tell you that it is forbidden to wander around in the camp at night?"

Ji Kongqing squinted his eyes, and saw a tall figure standing behind him, whose face was not clear because of the light behind him.

Although he saw this person for the first time today, he was already able to recognize him from the outline.

Ji Kongqing coughed lightly, and said with a solemn face: "Aren't you also wandering around in the barracks in the middle of the night?"

The visitor took a few steps closer, let out a sigh, and immediately relaxed his momentum: "Who told me that the general I hired after so much pains likes to run around in the middle of the night, and I don't know how to add more clothes."

He took the cloak from his body and handed it to Ji Kongqing.

It was only at this time that Ji Kongqing realized that it might be because of the cold weather in the north, and it was really chilly at night.

He took the cloak and put it on casually, perhaps because it carried the body temperature of the person opposite, his body immediately became much warmer.

Ji Kongqing smiled wryly: "I thought everything was proceeding step by step according to the plan. At this point, there is nothing to be excited about. Who knows that once my wish for many years is fulfilled, I will feel a little overwhelmed..."

Today, the moment the carriage entered Tianshu Camp, he almost wondered if this was a sweet dream.

He was deeply afraid that just like the previous days when he couldn't distinguish between reality and fantasy because of drugs, every time he woke up after a dream, he found that he was still struggling in the depths of hell.

The expression on Ji Kongqing's face kept changing, and he stood there for a long time in a daze.

When he regained his composure, he found that the people around him were quietly standing upwind to shield him from the wind, their bright eyes full of encouragement.

Ji Kongqing's heart felt hot, and she instantly got rid of her self-pity: "Really, I lost my composure with excitement... It's getting late, I'm going back to my room first, you should also rest earlier."

He took off the cloak on his body and returned it to the other party, then turned and walked back.

……

The tall figure watched Ji Kongqing return to his barracks, but did not leave directly.

He looked up at the starry sky for a while, and finally couldn't help muttering to himself: "Actually, I'm very excited today, I wish I could howl a few times, and make dozens of somersaults..."
