The Princess Wei Yang

71.1.To Save A Life

Gongzhu nodded: "That is right. The farthest arrow wins."

"Are there any other conditions?"

Li Wei Yang had a strange look, but her eyes quickly brightened. At last, Gongzhu nodded: "No, that is all."

"Alright then." Everyone saw Li Min De approached a bird cage hanging from a nearby tree with a Hai Dong Qing inside.

After that, he tied the arrow to its body and gently patted its wings. He unexpectedly threw the gyrfalcon up into the sky, sending it off. And a while later, it was no longer in sight.

Li Min De turned around, still standing in the center of the stage, his gaze bright as if he were taking the light of the world, stirring others' hearts, smiling brightly: "I'm done."

He did not rely on his strength, nor a clever, underhanded scheme of any sort. He only freed a bird, and the arrow was now thousands of miles away...

Such a simple method.

But at that moment, everyone was shocked.

Yongning Gongzhu suddenly laughed aloud. Wu Huangzi was furious: "What kind of tactic is this?! You did not even use the bow!"

Li Min De looked at Wu Huangzi and only smiled.

Suddenly Tuoba Rui realized, Gongzhu only said she wanted to see how far the arrow would go but did not say one had to use a bow. The first strategy to come to mind would be to use a bow to shoot the arrow. Everyone had forgotten that the task could still be completed even without the bow. This xiaozi was rather clever!

Li Wei Yang smiled clearly. This child, she had not expected him to use such an effective tactic similar to her own.

Yongning Gongzhu's gaze was rarely as gentle as it was now: "Alright, this method of yours, although it was a bit underhanded, it is still within the rules, not to mention original. This bronze mirror belongs to you."

Li Min De took the bronze mirror and smiled.

Everyone's eyes fell on this youth. Just earlier, he was an unknown guest, yet now everyone knew his name. Although they felt his method was a bit unfair, they had to admit that this youth was far more interesting than anyone else. Archery prowess was not as important as understanding Gongzhu's thoughts and making her happy was the most important thing.

Ninth Princess was no longer frightened and suddenly felt her face redden without knowing why.

Li Min De, it seemed this was the kind of person he was...

She quietly approached and told Li Min De: "I like this bronze mirror."

Li Min De looked at her, smiling softly as if he had not heard anything. This made Jiu Gongzhu, who was masquerading as Ba Huangzi, somewhat lost interest. But she still could not move her eyes. She continued to stare intently at Li Min De.

Gao Min scoffed coldly: "Well, as you can see, it is better if less time is spent with people like that. Their minds are too different from normal people."

Li Chang Le's eyes were downcast, making it unclear of what she was thinking.

At that moment, Gongzhu decided to change her attire. The guests were left to freely wander in the flower gardens. The influential women with status decided to go in groups of three to five to admire the flowers while the men took a leisurely stroll or played a game of tossing items into a bottle of wine or chess.

In the Pavilion, Tuoba Zhen ordered the servants to clear the area. Someone had already brought fragrant tea and after that a chessboard. He smiled and said to Qi Huangzi, "Qi di, let us play a game of chess?"
