After I disguised myself as a man, I became everyone's white moonlight

Chapter 133 How Am I Not as Good as You

Chu Xi put down the bow and arrow in his hand and just smiled faintly in response to Qin Sanyuan's praise.

Shi Zheng laughed heartily and wanted to pat Chu Xi on the shoulder. Chu Xi knew that after entering the military camp, this kind of action was the most common for those who were used to being in the army.

If she dodged too much, it would only arouse their suspicion, so she did not dodge and seemed not to care much as she let him pat her twice.

"As expected, the young hero was right. He can shoot an arrow through a target from a hundred paces away, but our Chu Jiang can shoot several arrows at the same time and still hit the bull's eye. This archery skill should be unmatched."

Chu Xi didn't take Shi Zheng and Qin Sanyuan's praise too seriously. She noticed that Bian Hangqing's archery skills were actually quite outstanding.

She shot five arrows and hit the bull's eye. Bian Hangqing also tried it and shot five arrows. Although not all of them hit the bull's eye, only two arrows hit the bull's eye, and the other three arrows were far away from the bull's eye.

But being able to achieve this is already quite good, it's just that with the pearls and jades in front of him, he doesn't look so dazzling.

Shi Zheng and Qin Sanyuan still praised Bian Hangqing, not because they were worried that Bian Hangqing would feel uncomfortable, but because they sincerely felt that Bian Hangqing was already very outstanding.

Bian Hangqing silently glanced at the bow and arrow that Chu Xi had used before, then looked at the targets he had shot at, the disappointment in his eyes was visible to the naked eye.

Seeing that the other four were also eager to try, Chu Xi took advantage of the gap between their archery and walked to the lost Bian Hangqing.

"Why, do you think this result is not as good as mine and now you want to give up?"

When she said this, her expression was calm, as if she didn't care about Bian Hangqing's feelings.

Bian Hangqing was like a cat whose tail was stepped on. He immediately got angry. Without thinking, he turned around and glared at Chu Xi. "Chu Jiang, what nonsense are you talking about? How am I not as good as you?"

Thinking about the results of my previous archery...

Bian Hangqing quickly changed his words, "Even if I am not as good as you now, so what? I don't believe that I will always be worse than you in the future. Chu Jiang, just wait, I will definitely surpass you."

Chu Xi curled her lips. Facing Bian Hangqing's challenge, she not only did not disdain it, but also said with a smile, "Okay, I'll wait and see."

Compared to the depressed Bian Hangqing, she felt that young people should be full of vigor and vitality. Bian Hangqing was not a person with bad intentions, he had a pure heart.

All his energy and time are spent on martial arts. Even though he is a little bit paranoid, for the Great Zhou which is facing internal and external troubles, Bian Hangqing may become a powerful general in the future!

With Chu Jiang and Bian Hangqing serving as role models, Shi Zheng and the other three felt the pressure, as if unprecedented potential in archery had been stimulated.

Everyone performed well, even if they were not as good as the two of them, they all knew that their talents were limited and forcing a competition would only lead to worse results.

Therefore, they are content to be better than their former selves.

Two hours passed quickly. After the archery practice, they went to the horse racing. The area was quite large. Although it was not as beautiful as the racecourses in the suburbs of Beijing, there were also animals specially penned for hunting.

But being able to compete in horse racing and riding skills is also a good idea.

Xi'an seems to have a long river, and it should be spring-like all year round. But strangely enough, it is difficult to grow too many flowers and trees here.

In addition, the geology of the city is too special and the number of wells that can be dug is limited. The people are quite frugal in their daily water use, and many men even go directly to the river to bathe.

This way you can save a lot of water, which can be used for daily use such as cooking, growing vegetables, washing clothes, farming, etc.

Not to mention the military camps, where the water quality was very poor and when the weather was too hot, they used too much water, and the lime at the bottom of the well floated to the surface. They still had to use the water to cook and boil water.

Otherwise, you can't be hungry without eating or thirsty without drinking, right?

For this reason, there are not many shops open for business in Xi'an, whether it is a cloth shop or a jewelry store, in short, there are very few shops willing to stay here for a long time to do business.

We had dinner at Wuxianglou again. Xi'an city is far away from the border, and trade is inconvenient here. There are not many restaurants, and even fewer restaurants with delicious food.

The dishes ordered by Shi Zheng and his companions were almost the same as those ordered at noon, and they also ordered a pot of wine. This wine was rice wine brewed by the local people in Xi'an. Although it was not a world-famous wine, it had a unique flavor.

Chu Xi is not good at drinking. Both her original body and she don’t like the taste of alcohol. Alcohol may not completely intoxicate people, but it will definitely make people let down their guard.

The original owner cannot relax even a little bit, and Chu Xi, who has taken over this body and must continue to complete the plot of the novel, cannot do the same...

Both she and the original owner have something in common. Now that things have come to this, she cannot reveal her identity, whether for the sake of the Marquis' Mansion or for the normal development of the plot.

This era is different from later generations, the imperial era, when power was alternating between aristocratic families. It sounded like it could guarantee endless prosperity for several generations, but the punishments in this era were also extraordinary.

In minor cases, one person will be killed, and in serious cases, nine generations of the family will be punished.

Given the emperor's vigilance against the Marquis' Mansion and the concealment of the original owner's life experience, once it is made public, it will give the emperor a good excuse, and he can uproot the Marquis' Mansion without any effort!

"You don't even want to drink?" Qin Sanyuan was surprised again, and laughed and teased, "Could it be that your wife-to-be is too strict with you?"

Chu Xi shook her head. "It has nothing to do with her. I just don't like the taste of wine. I'll just drink tea. Don't worry about me."

When Qin Sanyuan heard Chu Xi say this, he still didn't take it seriously. He thought she was just making excuses. He smiled, drank and shook his head.

"In my opinion, you guys from aristocratic families have a lot of rules, and you can't even drink. You're not as free as us."

Chu Xi smiled without comment. Even Rong Jinfeng before didn't drink much. A real aristocratic family has many requirements and rules for the younger generation.

"Okay, after dinner, let's go to Tianxianglou next door. I'll take you there to broaden your horizons." Qin Sanyuan raised his eyebrows at Chu Xi with a brotherly expression, which was meaningful.

Upon hearing this, Chu Xi did not refute but just chuckled.

After the meal, they paid the bill. Under the coaxing and dragging of Shi Zheng and his four companions, Chu Xi and Bian Hangqing were forced to enter Tianxiang Tower together.

As soon as the six people entered the door, they were greeted by a number of women who were wearing thin and revealing clothes, with a particularly strong smell of rouge and powder on their bodies. They twisted their waists and moved towards them.

Bian Hangqing had never seen such a scene before. He was so scared that he kept backing away. His reaction was somewhat similar to Rong Jinfeng's before. It was almost as if there was a look on his face saying "Don't come over here".

Chu Xi didn't want them to get too close and discover her identity. Even though she had a cloth wrapped around her chest, a woman's intuition sometimes didn't require any evidence.

So when they approached, she and Bian Hangqing retreated together.
