The man was clearly in a fine attire, but at this moment he was violently subdued on the dirty ground by several armored imperial guards.

When he saw me turning around, his eyes filled with madness were almost on fire, and his face was even more abnormally red, "You...you are still alive, that's great! Lin Chundi, come to me, I Will protect...you, really!"

protect me?

Why did Nie Wenle say such strange things?

At that time, I was pulled by the prince's people and fell in front of him. What did he say at that time?

He said I deserve it.

I turned around in a dispirited manner, and the roar behind me was even more intense, "Lin Chundi, don't go! Lin Chundi, I didn't...I didn't really want to treat you like that, please forgive me..."

Someone began to reprimand Nie Wenle.

"Bold, that's the Ninth Prince, if you keep pestering me here, don't blame me for being rude."

I got into the carriage, and the prince in the carriage got into the carriage one step earlier than me. He seemed to be completely uninterested in things outside the carriage, and only looked at me with a half-smile.

I picked a seat away from him and sat down.

The carriage started to move, and before leaving Taixue, I vaguely heard the sound of Sap hitting me and Nie Wenle calling me.

"Lin Chundi" sounded again and again, but Lin Chundi was already dead.

"Brother, don't you wonder who that Lin Chundi is?" the prince said abruptly.

I turned my head to look at him.

The crown prince looked at me for a while, and answered to himself, "A dead man who looks very similar to you." He seemed bored, and clicked his tongue, "These people are really—what good is a dead man, of course they are alive Talent is good, can play."

My expression remained the same, but my fingertips almost dug into the flesh.

Nie Wenle regretted it, probably because of this reason. I died. For people like them, the biggest regret is that there is one less fun to play.

It has been half a month since I returned to Taixue, and in half a month, I haven't seen Lin Chongtan, nor Duan Xinting.

In the past, I expected my parents' approval, my teacher's praise, and I didn't dare to neglect me at all, but now that I have become the Ninth Prince, no matter how poorly I do, people around me can open their eyes and praise me for being awesome.

"The posture of the Ninth Prince drawing the bow is better than last time."

Listening to the words of the doctor who taught riding and archery, I silently watched the arrow falling in front of my feet.

My body is very weak, so I won't go to riding and archery class right away, let alone draw a bow and arrow.Taixue rushed to make an exquisite small bow for me, and I was able to draw it barely, but even so, the arrows I shot were still horrible.

"If you go to the battlefield like this, I'm afraid the enemy doesn't need to hit you, so you shoot yourself first." The prince sitting on a tall dark horse laughed at me.

I heard that I drew the arrow from behind and drew the bow towards the prince. My action scared everyone around me, except the prince himself.He looked at me with his chin raised impartially, as if he wasn't afraid of me shooting him at all.

Indeed, there is no need to be afraid, because even if I draw the bow at him, the arrow will only fall not far in front of my feet.

Of course, I can't just shoot him with an arrow.

I slowly moved the bow and arrow aimed at his face to the nearby target, let go and shot, and the arrow landed in front of my feet again.

"Tch." The prince laughed, pulled the rein and galloped his horse to the other side of the shooting range.

Dr. Ma next to him said respectfully, "Ninth Prince, it's best not to shoot arrows at people, unless you are going into battle to kill the enemy."

I nodded, and at the same time handed the bow and arrow to the palace servants who were waiting on the side. When I turned around, I caught a glimpse of a familiar figure.

It was Nie Wenle again.

He was standing under the ginkgo tree at this time, staring suspiciously at my riding and archery lesson.In fact, it wasn't just him, the young master and Rong Xuan also stared at me strangely from time to time.

Since Nie Wenle approached me rashly five days ago and Niu Xi dislocated his shoulder, he has learned to be smart now, hiding from a distance and watching secretly.

When I saw him, I felt irritable and called Niu Xi, "I want to walk around by myself, but there are people staring at me all the time."

Niu Xi followed my gaze to look under the ginkgo tree, nodded solemnly, "I will let him go."

Niu Xi and Liangji are completely different people. Liangji is stupid and laughs when he sees me, but Niu Xi is serious.I don't know how Liangji is doing now. Was he scolded when he returned to Gusu?

I walked forward while thinking, I didn't know where I was going, and only raised my head when I heard footsteps in front of me.

It turned out to be Lin Chongtan.

Wearing plain clothes, Lin Chongtan seemed to have lost a lot of weight, even his complexion was extremely pale, as if there was only a pair of eyes left on the whole face.

When he saw me, he stopped immediately, his eyes fixed on me like nails.

The first moment I saw him, I felt a killing intent in my heart, but I reminded myself that I couldn't show the clues yet, so I pretended I didn't see him and kept walking.

If he is rude later, I can punish him for being disrespectful.

When he saw me, he must feel very scared now. A person who was obviously dead reappeared in front of him.what will he doWill you want to kill me again?

"Ah!" I cried out unexpectedly, because Lin Chongtan suddenly stretched out his hand and dragged me into his arms.The smell of medicine on his body brought me back to my senses, and I immediately began to struggle while pretending to be afraid, "Who are you? Let go, let go!"

Lin Chongtan let go of me slightly, but his hands were still on my waist.He frowned at me, his eyes roving my face.

I turned my head and called out, "Come here! Niu Xi..."

The next moment, my lips were covered.

Lin Chongtan actually... dragged me into the rockery next to him, is he really going to kill me again?

I didn't care about anything else, and struggled desperately, wanting to call for help, but Lin Chongtan was much stronger than me, and he held me in the rockery wall and his arms.When I found out he was undressing me, I almost lost my mind with anger.

The clothes on my shoulders were forcibly taken off, and Lin Chongtan took advantage of the light from the fake cave to scan my skin inch by inch.He seemed to think that he didn't see clearly enough, so he brushed the shattered long hair in front of me to the back of my shoulder with his hand.

The hairs on the skin touched by his fingertips stood up.

I was trembling with anger, obviously I had already lived again, how could I still be humiliated by him the first time I met him.

Just when I was so angry, Lin Chongtan's long eyelashes trembled, and there was a flash of water in the eyes fixed on me, and the hand holding my shoulder trembled slightly.

Whether in front of me or in front of others, Lin Chongtan almost never lost his composure, so would he cry?

I should be wrong.

I wanted to take a closer look, but he had already closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his eyes were clear.

Lin Chongtan gently pulled the clothes that had slipped to my elbows back to my shoulders, and took two steps back,

"Sorry," he said to me.

I finally regained my freedom, and I couldn't help raising my hand to slap Lin Chongtan.He was knocked in the face by me, his tightly pursed lips were slightly parted, and his tone was more distant than before, "Sorry, I offended you abruptly."

I gritted my teeth and wanted to slap him again, when suddenly there was movement outside.I can't see anyone now, so I can only lower my head and arrange my clothes in a hurry.Lin Chongtan was about to leave the rockery at this moment, I couldn't help lowering my voice and angrily said: "Stop."

Lin Chongtan didn't seem to hear it, and his footsteps didn't stop for a moment.

After I tidied up my clothes and came out of the rockery, I realized that Lin Chongtan hadn't left.He was standing near the rockery, and when he heard me coming out, he turned around and saluted me.

"Lin Chongtan has met the Ninth Prince."

He is so clever that he has already recognized my identity.

I looked at him coldly, before I saw him, I wished I could tear him apart, but after seeing him, my mind changed, I didn't want to let him go so easily.

I want to pay back to Lin Chongtan everything I have suffered.

How much pain I have had, so how much pain Lin Chongtan must have.

"How do you know that I am the Ninth Prince?" I asked.

Lin Chongtan did not show any flattery because of my identity, and said neither humble nor overbearing: "Before I returned to Taixue, I heard about the admission of the Ninth Prince. I did not intend to offend what happened today, and I hope the Ninth Prince will forgive me. "

forgive?

I will not forgive him.

I changed my mind and deliberately tested him, "You...why did you do the thing just now? Could it be that you also recognized me as that so-called Chundi? I heard that that so-called Chundi looks very similar to me. Admit me and him."

Almost as soon as I mentioned the word "Chundi", his expression changed.Seeing this, I asked him again, "Do you think we are similar too?"

He raised his eyes, and his eyes fell on my face for a moment, as if he missed it, but he didn't seem to have it.He lowered his head again, and said coldly, "Like."

"Who is he from you?"

Lin Chongtan didn't answer this question, and bowed his hands to me again, "If the Ninth Prince forgives my offense just now, I have other things and I want to leave first."

"Wait, if you bully me like this, if I let you go, won't everyone be able to bully me in the future?" I said displeased.

Lin Chongtan lowered his eyes, his expression remained unchanged, "But please punish the Ninth Prince."

Just when I was about to speak, Niu Xi brought someone over from the other side. He hurried to my side and said in a low voice: "Ninth Prince, Your Majesty has come, and you are now riding the shooting range."

I heard that the emperor was coming, so I had no choice but to let Lin Chongtan go for the time being and rush to the riding and shooting range.Unexpectedly, not long after I arrived at the riding and shooting range, Lin Chongtan also arrived.

The young man in white clothes is better than the snow, rolling in red and breaking wind.When the sound of horseshoes approached, he drew out his bow and arrow and shot at the target on the hillside a hundred paces away.

Hearing the sharp sound of piercing through the air, the accompanying horseman ran up the hillside and raised the red flag in the distance.

This is what it means when an arrow hits the bull's-eye.

Lin Chongtan got off the maroon horse, walked up to the emperor and knelt down, "Chongtan pays respects to the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor."

When the emperor, who was always formidable to the outside world, saw Lin Chongtan, he showed a kind smile on his face, "Pingshen, your archery skills are so good at such a young age, it's very good."

"Royal father, did you find the wrong person? The envoys from the Northern Kingdom will arrive in half a month, and they will definitely compete with us in horsemanship and archery. This time we will ask Lin Chongtan to show up, so that a small country like them understands that we don't have to Soldiers, just relying on a young man who is studying can dampen their spirit." The prince said from the side.

I heard some things about the Northern Kingdom from Concubine Zhuang. The Northern Kingdom would send envoys to our court every three years with rare treasures, but the Northern Kingdom has been restless in recent years.

Does the crown prince want Lin Chongtan to compete with the envoys from the Northern Kingdom?Doesn't that mean that I can't touch Lin Chongtan in a short time, and if I want to deal with Lin Chongtan, I'm afraid I have to find a suitable reason.

The emperor groaned, didn't say good or bad, turned to me and asked, "Congxi, how have you been practicing riding and archery lately?"

I honestly said, "I can't get on the horse yet."

The emperor was not angry, he even reached out and touched my head, "It's okay, take your time." He suddenly looked at Lin Chongtan, "Lin Chongtan, come here. This is my ninth prince, he is not in good health, I have been raised in the palace by Zhenjiao all the time, and I don’t know anything about horseback riding and archery. I have given you a task, to teach him horseback riding and archery within half a month. You don’t need to go through a hundred steps, but if you want to be able to reach the level of ordinary people, can you do it? "

Rao, I also heard that this is the emperor's test of Lin Chongtan.

Lin Chongtan could not convince him just by relying on the hand he just showed, so he threw me out.If Lin Chongtan can teach me this novice in just half a month, it will be enough to prove his ability.

But Lin Chongtan seemed to think this task was difficult, and he didn't answer the emperor's words immediately, until the crown prince coughed, then he bowed his head and replied: "Chongtan is willing to give it a try."

"Okay, then I'll hand over my Ninth Prince to you, don't let me down." The emperor said with deep meaning.

Lin Chongtan said: "Chongtan dare not let you down."

After the emperor finished speaking to Lin Chongtan, he called me again and asked me to shoot arrows for him to see.I didn't want to embarrass myself in public, but since the archer was the emperor, I had to ask Niu Xi to take out my small bow and arrow.

When the emperor saw my little bow and arrow, the corners of his lips twitched visibly. After watching my archery, he couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Congxi, next time you show your skills to my concubine, she will be very happy." The emperor smiled for a long time before leaving, the prince also gave me a joking look, and left with Yu Jia.

It took Lin Chongtan a while to walk in front of me, he didn't look at my face, his gaze was always slightly down, "Ninth Prince, please follow me."

He led me to the stables, selected three horses for me, and asked me which one I liked best.I swept over the three horses lightly, pointing to one at random.

Lin Chongtan pulled out the horse I chose, "Can the Ninth Prince show me how he got on the horse before? It doesn't matter if he doesn't get on the horse. I want to see the posture of the Ninth Prince when he gets on the horse. It will be convenient to teach the Ninth Prince how to get on the horse in the future." Prince."

"It's ok, but I really can't get on it. This horse is too tall for me. Your name is Lin Chongtan, right? Lin Chongtan, why don't you let me try to get on the horse by stepping on your back?" I asked. Speak to him slowly.
