Chapter 14: False Shock

Everyone's eyes fell on Emperor Qi Yuan's hand as they spoke. There was indeed a royal mark on the arrow shaft, but this arrow had a tail but no head, which was the headless arrow specially made by the Mansion. After seeing clearly, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and turned their eyes to Lin Nan, the person who caused the accident in the crowd, because there were only the twelfth highness Ming Gong, the sixteenth highness Mingde and his companion Lin Nan used this headless arrow, and among the three, only Lin Nan's arrow shot the farthest and passed through the courtyard wall...

"Emperor," Lin Nan's face sweated coldly. "This arrow was probably shot by a villain..."

The crowd spread to both sides. Emperor Qi Yuan waved the guards who wanted to go forward, walked slowly to Lin Nan, frowned slightly and looked at him, saying, "Is it you?" He paused and continued, "You said... this arrow... was you shot out?"

Lin Nantou pressed even lower: "Yes."

Before Emperor Qi Yuan could speak, Qian Hai, the eunuch next to him, shouted loudly: "In the forbidden palace, the arrows shocked Your Majesty, do you know that you are guilty?"

Lin Nan was shocked and fell to the ground: "The villain knew the crime."

"Hey——" Emperor Qi Yuan waved his hand gently, blocked Qian Hai aside, tilted his head slightly to examine Lin Nan for a while, then frowned and raised his head, turned his head to look at the targets and courtyard wall not far away, and looked at Ming Xiao, Ming Lian and others next to him in confusion: "Is this... he ejaculated?"

"Return to Father, he is undoubtedly." Ming Gong walked up to him, repeated what had just happened, and finally said: "In the palace, arrows shocked the father's emperor's imperial guards, which is a crime of disrespect, and it must be severely punished!"

Emperor Qi Yuan flashed his eyes when he heard this, turned to look at Ming Gong: "High punishment? What kind of punishment is it?" He said, and pointed with the arrow in his hand: "Is it necessary to raise an army to punish me for a little bit of matter? The arrow is shocked... It's just a headless arrow. If I was so easily shocked, would I still be me?" Everyone was shocked.

Qian Hai was stunned when he heard this, and hurriedly drooped his eyelids and said silently. Ming Xiaominggong and others were also stunned. Minggong quickly lowered his head and covered his face. Emperor Qiyuan did not look at Minggong. He looked up at the sky and said slowly: "One code is one code. If you lose, you must admit it. Take the opportunity to provoke and provoke. Is that what a dignified prince should do? A temporary win or lose does not mean anything. Only by knowing shame can one be brave in the future."

Ming Gong knelt down with a thud: "Father, my son is not..."

"Okay!" Emperor Qi Yuan stopped his words: "I came to Hongwu Palace... It was just a temporary idea, it was just a small matter, it was just a coincidence. Don't make a fuss... get up!"

As soon as Lin Nan got up, Emperor Qi Yuan suddenly pulled his sleeve and looked at the bow in his hand: "Is it shot with this bow?"

Lin Nan bowed his head and replied, "Yes."

Emperor Qiyuan looked at it with great interest and said, "Shoot another arrow and see."

"This... the villain dares not."

"If you ask you to shoot, you can shoot. What dare?" Emperor Qi Yuan's face became stern. "Are you really afraid of being shocked? Humph, go! Don't use fake arrows this time. Since you practice, just use the real one to practice! Go quickly!"

"Yes!" Lin Nan raised his bow, chose an arrow, and walked to the shooting range. Emperor Qi Yuan followed him and stood a few meters behind Lin Nan. The rest of the people surrounded him to form a semicircle, looking at Lin Nan with their own thoughts. "You must shoot well. If you dare to perfunctory me, don't blame me... drive you out of the palace!"

Lin Nan turned around and bowed: "Since the emperor has his life, the villain should do his best."

"Okay, let's start!"

With the first experience, Lin Nan felt a little confident, and this time there was the emperor and many guards watching next to him, so he could not fail. Lin Nan took a deep breath, lowered the complex thoughts in his mind, leaned back slightly, and slowly pulled the bowstring. The energy gathered the chest and abdomen, and penetrated his arms! Crooked-squeak-squeak-squeak-squeak-squeak-squeak-squeak-squeak-squeak-squeak-squeak-squeak-squeak-squeak-squeak-squeak-squeak!

The meteor flying feather flew across the air in the blink of an eye and landed obliquely on the outer edge of the target!

"good!"

Lin Nan's face turned red and gasped, retreated, bowed to Emperor Qiyuan, and then stood beside him and stopped talking. Emperor Qiyuan nodded with satisfaction: "Haha, it really surprised me! How old are you now?"

"Back to the emperor, the villain is about to reach the eleventh year of the year."

"Mingyong!" Emperor Qi Yuan called Mingyong to his side. "You have loved riding and shooting since you were a child. I remember... When you were as capable as he could pull a bow of one stone... it was sixteen?"

"yes."

Emperor Qi Yuan looked at Lin Nan: "Haha! It seems that your strength is quite good! But I don't seem to be a newbie when you look at your movements just now. Have you practiced it before?"

"When I returned to the emperor, the villain lived in Changning Mansion when he was young and had practiced a little with others."

"Oh, hehe! I remember that your father Lin Wu doesn't like this. Don't he want your son to inherit his father's business and become an official?"

Lin Nan replied: "Your Majesty, my father has never intervened much. He only said... Even if you study and serve the country, you have to strengthen your body. Only by learning but not having a good body, I am afraid you can't do it..."

"Well, that's right!" Emperor Qi Yuan smiled with satisfaction and turned to look at the princes: "So I often ask you to come here for practice. Knowing and being well-educated is of course valuable. Although you don't go to the battlefield to fight, governing the country is also important! You must practice well in the future and not slackening!"

"yes!"

Emperor Qiyuan glanced at Ming Gong, and then said to everyone: "I asked you to come here to practice riding and shooting, but I didn't ask you to hang out. You have to remember that this is Hongwu Palace, not the Imperial Garden! People must know how to be ambitious. Everything should be high and far, and you can't just look down." Ming Gong lowered his head and said nothing.

Emperor Qi Yuan glanced at Lin Nan and said, "No matter what you do, you have to do it within your ability. Do as much as you have. If you don't have enough ability, you will force yourself to do it. Just like the arrow just now, it will easily deviate from the target and cause unpredictable consequences! Do you understand?"

Everyone replied in unison: "Yes, I understand."

Emperor Qiyuan looked at Lin Nan, suddenly turned his head and waved: "Jing Ge!" A man in the imperial guard costume came forward. Emperor Qiyuan pointed at him and looked at Ming Yong and Lin Nan and said: "This is Jing Ge, the deputy commander of the guard camp, rides a good horse and shoots a good arrow. If you are interested, you can learn from him in the future."

"Yes!" Ming Yong heard the beauty of his eyebrows, and it seemed that he knew Jing Ge's ability. Lin Nan felt a little familiar when he saw Jing Ge. The two looked at each other and nodded silently and said hello.

Emperor Qi Yuan glanced around again and asked, "Why, the prince hasn't come?"

Qian Hai stepped forward and said, "Go back to the emperor, Your Highness the Crown Prince said that he would still be studying in the study room in the afternoon..."

"Oh..." Emperor Qi Yuan frowned slightly after hearing this, looked at the target not far away, pondered for a while and said, "Well... I think this target seems a bit inappropriate, not very suitable... Qian Hai!"

"I'm here!"

"Tomorrow, I will change the target to the south and stay away from the wall to avoid any similar emergencies."
