Reborn to Become A Queen: The Real Heiress's Comeback-Chapter 461 Provoking Zhan Lan!
Chapter 461: Chapter 461 Provoking Zhan Lan!
Zhan Lan and Xiao Li simultaneously released two arrows, and the audience fell silent.
Xiao Li tore off the black veil covering his eyes, while Zhan Lan raised her black veil, which was blown away by the wind. They saw both their arrows hit the four targets simultaneously.
The four veteran generals stood up together, Zhang Zhao squinted with excitement and said, "Amazing! Amazing! Lan hit the bullseye!"
The four exchanged glances, then looked at each other with disdain before sitting down.
The four straightened their clothes, feigning seriousness.
After all, there were so many people watching below. They secretly rejoiced in their hearts.
A thunderous applause erupted from the crowd, and the people cheered excitedly.
"To shoot two arrows blindfolded with one bow is truly eye-opening today!"
"General Zhan is so mighty, truly mighty!"
Si Yun sat in the main seat, raising his chin, knowing that Zhan Lan would definitely bring glory to Nanjin.
Mu Yan curled his lips; Lan’er’s archery skills would surpass his in a few years.
Huang Gun appeared like a ghost next to a few playboys shocked by Zhan Lan’s archery, "Dung beetles, did you see that? What I said was correct; you’re just ignorant and fearless, talking nonsense!"
"You!" A few people wanted to hit Huang Gun.
Huang Gun wagged a finger, boasting, "Ah, I’m General Zhan’s subordinate. Better think twice before you act; General Zhan is very protective of her people!"
They roared inwardly, ah... someone kill him for me!
But they saw Huang Gun smilingly waving to Zhan Lan on stage, and Zhan Lan gently nodded back. Turns out he was telling the truth!
Since he’s Zhan Lan’s subordinate, they had to bear it.
Over at the envoys from the three nations, someone exclaimed, "Xiao Li, the closed-door disciple of the Archery Saint, actually lost!"
"I really underestimated this female general; it seems her archery is almost as good as the Archery Saint’s!"
"I remember the Archery Saint mastered this skill at the age of twenty, and General Zhan Lan is only eighteen, truly astounding!"
"So, in this light, the Archery Saint and his disciple are just this capable!"
Xiao Li stood on stage listening to the provocations from the envoys of the three nations, his face stern because only one of his arrows hit the bullseye while the other deviated from it.
For him, shooting blindfolded was not difficult; once archery reached a certain level, one mastered every direction.
At that point, eyes were unnecessary; it relied on sensation.
But shooting two arrows blindfolded was very challenging; Zhan Lan’s archery was actually stronger than his!
He was unwilling; to restore face for Eastern Wei and his master, he wanted to continue the contest, but Xie Yuanzhang shook his head from the side, and Xiao Li left the stage.
In the first round of the competition, Nanjin prevailed, and Zhan Lan descended the stage amidst the crowd’s cheers.
People from the other three nations were somewhat dejected.
Xiao Li approached Xie Yuanzhang and asked quietly, "May I ask why Left General does not let the subordinate continue competing with Zhan Lan?"
Xie Yuanzhang’s gaze was profound, his voice cold, "You’re not her match."
Xiao Li clenched his fists tightly, dissatisfied; he had many more competition methods untested, he was dissatisfied!
Ye Xiuhan saw the Beiyue archer’s expression turn particularly gloomy due to failure, he said in a deep voice, "It’s alright; you just faced a strong opponent, nothing to be ashamed of."
Si Yao coldly looked at the Beiyue archer, he really was useless, even just making Zhan Lan lose face first, was it so hard?
...
In the second round of the boxing competition, Western Rong’s Eldest Prince Tuoba Xiong arrogantly ascended the stage, defeating the first warrior sent by Beiyue.
Si Yao coldly glanced at Ye Xiuhan, who was composed, internally roaring, what’s wrong with Ye Xiuhan, why doesn’t he go up himself, why doesn’t his Deputy General go up!
Tuoba Xiong used his tongue to probe the soft flesh in his mouth, lecherously looking at Zhan Lan.
Mu Yan’s gaze suddenly turned grim and fierce.
Tuoba Xiong!
Tuoba Xiong suddenly felt a chill down his spine, sensing a hint of killing intent.
He took a deep breath, feeling it was a hallucination. Then he twisted his neck and shoulders, now about to compete in boxing; he thought, no matter how strong Zhan Lan was, she couldn’t match a man in strength.
Soon he would press this stunning female general beneath him and humiliate her, taking advantage of her.
Even if the Regent King wanted to lose his temper, physical contact was inevitable in competitions; what could he do!
Tuoba Xiong maliciously looked at Zhan Lan, "Why isn’t General Zhan coming on stage this round? Are you afraid of us Western Rong!"
Zhan Lan coldly eyed Tuoba Xiong, "Afraid? Ha, I recall Western Rong running away quickly last time..."
People below immediately understood Zhan Lan was implying Western Rong’s defeat and escape.
As the Eldest Prince of Western Rong, having learned Chinese well, he could also detect Zhan Lan’s mockery of Western Rong.
Tuoba Xiong’s face turned livid, angered by Zhan Lan’s provocation, he zealously wanted to humiliate her, so he continued taunting, "General Zhan, don’t just boast, isn’t it the behavior of a coward, afraid to compete with this Prince!"
Zhan Lan softly raised her eyelids, her eyes filled with disdain, "Why use a sledgehammer to crack a nut, there’s no need for this general to compete with the Eldest Prince, one of my former subordinates will do, Dugu Yan, go on!"
The envoys from the three nations looked at Zhan Lan, the Nanjin female general dressed regally in red sitting confidently, casting a scornful look at Tuoba Xiong, truly arrogant and bold!
"Yes, Main General!" Dugu Yan, in a purple training suit, tied her long braid with a wooden hairpin while walking.
Tuoba Xiong scoffed, "Ha, a woman, General Zhan, are you afraid to fight this Prince yourself?"
Zhan Lan directed a cold gaze at him, "If the Eldest Prince can defeat my subordinate, then we consider ourselves defeated!"
Si Yun frowned, Zhan Lan was too rash, just sending a subordinate to deal with Western Rong’s Eldest Prince, what if they lost!
"Fine!" Tuoba Xiong looked at Dugu Yan’s defiant demeanor, smiling, like a poppy flower with chilling beauty, suddenly piqued his interest.
Only after defeating Dugu Yan would it be time to humiliate Zhan Lan.
Tuoba Xiong spoke strictly in a voice only two could hear, "Little beauty, when brother presses you down, don’t cry out!" freёnovelkiss.com
Dugu Yan sneered at Tuoba Xiong, realizing this Eldest Prince was Xue Lingling’s fiancé, truly disgusting.
She spoke in a voice only two could hear, leaving a remark, "I’ll make you regret having said that."
Western Rong’s Eldest Prince Tuoba Xiong was momentarily taken aback, this wretched woman dared challenge him!
Below the stage, Xue Lingling worriedly looked at Dugu Yan, men from Western Rong were mighty, could Dugu Yan, being a woman, really handle it?
Xue Yifeng found out yesterday about the Eldest Prince’s illicit affair with Wang Wanning in the palace and became even less inclined for his sister to marry the prince.
His gaze was fixed on Dugu Yan, aware of her strength, but her opponent was Western Rong’s Eldest Prince, renowned in Western Rong as a Herculean figure, capable of smashing stones with a punch.
Moreover, it was said this Eldest Prince had a violent character, once in a competition, pinning his opponent beneath him, punching repeatedly until the opponent died.
He felt inexplicably worried for Dugu Yan.
Xue Yifeng suddenly saw Dugu Yan looking over in their direction.
Dugu Yan slightly raised her chin towards them, and the moment their gazes met, Xue Yifeng’s ears turned red.
Dugu Yan’s lips twitched; she originally intended to reassure Xue Lingling, wondering if Xue Yifeng assumed she was looking at him after their gaze collided, causing him to deliberately avert his eyes!
Xue Lingling excitedly poked her finger—aah, Dugu Yan to help teach the violent Western Rong’s Eldest Prince a lesson!
Happy and thrilled!
But why are her brother Xue Yifeng’s ears red!
Could it be her brother is excited, blood boiling?
