Chapter 253 Archery

After finishing horse riding, Mu Tangxi took the handkerchief handed to him by Dongzhu and wiped the sweat from his forehead and neck.

I was so absorbed in the joy of riding that I almost fell to the ground when I got off the horse.

Fortunately, Dong Zhu supported her in time.

Mu Tangxi decided that he would exercise more in the future and spend half of his study time on exercising!

Otherwise, if Dong Zhu didn't hold her up next time, wouldn't she just fall to the ground? !

No, absolutely not!

Mu Tangxi slowly stroked Wuyun's mane, trying to develop some feelings with it.

I will practice horse riding more and more often in the future.

Ji Qichen got off his horse and looked at Tang Xi with surprise, whose rosy face looked as if she had just sweated a little more.

You should know that when Ji Qichen rode a horse for the first time, he fell directly to the ground when he got off the horse.

Sure enough, Tangxi is a genius!

After resting for a while, Mu Tangxi was finally able to walk without Dong Zhu's support.

Ji Qichen pulled Tangxi to the archery site again.

It's just not far from where you can ride horses.

Ji Qichen was struggling over whether to shoot arrows on horseback first, or shoot arrows first and then ride a horse.

Finally chose the former.

After all, if we practice archery first, what if Tangxi falls off the horse because his hands are shaking and he can't hold the reins?

The former is safer.

Learn to ride a horse in Tangxi when you have the most energy!

When Ji Qichen taught Tangxi archery, he demonstrated it to Tangxi first, just like teaching her how to ride a horse.

In fact, his archery posture is not so standard, but rather a wild posture.

After all, there was no teacher in the palace who would pay special attention to whether he was doing well or not. All their attention was on the crown prince and the second prince.

So Ji Qichen could only imitate their movements, and then little by little, learn to shoot arrows in a way that was more comfortable and easy for him.

Anyway, isn’t the ultimate goal of archery to shoot the arrow into the target?

Everyone has their own feel, so things like archery can only be learned through practice.

Mu Tangxi slowly pulled the bowstring, his light-colored eyes staring sharply at the target. As soon as he loosened his hand, the arrow shot through the air with a sound like a meteor.

"Three rings."

Ji Qichen clapped his hands on the side, "It's amazing that you can hit the target on your first archery try!"

But Mu Tangxi just frowned, continued to pull out an arrow, pulled the bowstring again, and adjusted it upwards according to the feel of last time.

"Five rings!"

Ji Qichen clapped again. He wanted to say something several times, but was afraid of affecting Tangxi's archery, so he could only shut up and clap.

He really wanted to get close to Tangxi and teach her archery!

But Tangxi is talented and hardworking, so it’s hard for him to disturb her.

The sound of arrows breaking through the air and hitting the targets could be heard continuously in the field.

After seeing Tangxi's progress at a speed visible to the naked eye, Ji Qichen suddenly felt a sense of urgency.

It felt like he was about to be caught up!

He picked up the bow and arrow and began to practice.

As time passed, Mu Tangxi's hands became more and more shaky, and his archery accuracy dropped sharply.

Mu Tangxi stopped decisively and planned to hit the bull's eye accurately with at least ten consecutive arrows within three months.

Otherwise, if you go to the border, you won’t be able to protect yourself at all.

Ji Qichen also stopped. He moved closer to Tangxi and helped her massage her arms and shoulders. If these two places were not massaged properly, she would not be able to lift her hands the next day.

His personal experience!

No one would remember to give him a massage after he finished shooting arrows, so he could only watch the servants' massage techniques and massage himself.

So his technique is very skillful.

Mu Tangxi curved her eyes and said, "Can you bring me here to ride horses and shoot arrows tomorrow?"

Ji Qichen paused and asked cautiously, "What if you are so sore that you can't get up tomorrow?"

Mu Tangxi thought for a moment and said, "Then take a day off."

She wouldn't train herself to the point where her body couldn't sustain it.

And she doesn't have to practice to perfection, as long as she has skillful movements and hits the bull's eye every time without making any mistakes.

Mu Tangxi didn’t know that her standards were very high, but this was her way of making herself feel safe.

No matter how many guards you have around you to protect you, it is not as good as having some martial arts skills yourself!

Maybe Mu Tangxi doesn't trust others from the bottom of his heart, so he pays more attention to his own abilities.

Only you will not betray yourself!

Ji Qichen slowly took Tangxi's hand and saw that there were indeed some scratches. The curve of his mouth lowered a little.

"Tangxi, are you afraid of pain?"

He looked straight at Tangxi, just wanting to find an answer.

Mu Tangxi raised his eyes and said, "I'm not afraid of pain."

Maybe my pain threshold was raised in my previous life, so I don’t feel any pain in this life.

No matter how painful it is, it’s not as painful as in my previous life.

Ji Qichen paused for a moment, "Who isn't afraid of pain?"

He is very afraid of pain.

But because resistance would only hurt more, I had no choice but to endure it.

Mu Tangxi smiled at Ji Qichen and said, "This little scratch doesn't hurt at all. Are you afraid of the pain?"

"Well, I'm afraid of pain." Ji Qichen pursed his lips.

"Then you have to work harder to train yourself. As long as you become stronger, others will not be able to beat you, and you will make others feel pain!"

Mu Tangxi held Ji Qichen's hand and pulled him to the resting place in front.

"We will be heading to the border in three months. It's very dangerous there. Let's work hard to become stronger!"

"Besides," Mu Tangxi looked back, "don't you want to continue to resist the Second Prince?"

"Don't you want to step on him?"

The extremely tempting words floated in Ji Qichen's ears and heart.

Why doesn't he want to?

He wants to very much!

I want to trample them all under my feet!

"Let's go together."

Mu Tangxi said something ambiguous, but she did not explain.

Ji Qichen: "Okay!"

The orange sunset glowed like a veil, spreading over the earth and over them.

The next day, Mu Tangxi couldn't get out of bed as expected.

My whole body aches, and I feel like I'm about to fall apart.

I couldn't lift my arms at all.

Mu Tangxi reluctantly tried to sit up, but after a few seconds, he fell down again.

She thought expressionlessly that she might not be able to do anything today.

If she had known, she should have started exercising earlier.

Otherwise, I wouldn’t be unable to get out of bed like today.

Ji Qichen, who was beside Mu Tangxi, had already been awakened by these actions.

He watched this scene while holding back his laughter, and he said he wouldn't be able to get out of bed.

Riding a horse was already hard enough for Tangxi, but now he also had to learn archery, so he couldn't get out of bed anymore.

He tried to help Tangxi rub her sore muscles again, but as soon as his hand touched her, Tangxi shuddered and moved away.

Ji Qichen thought, Tangxi is indeed afraid of pain!

In the end, Mu Tangxi let Ji Qichen rub her sore muscles with a look of despair.

That feeling, just...
