I Became the Older Brother of the Heroine in an Abusive Novel [MTL] (Completed)

Chapter 29

In the afternoon of this day, it was time for the princes to practice martial arts.

There is a school ground behind Wenhua Hall, which is large enough for horse racing. On this day, straw men and arrow targets have been set up on the school grounds, setting up a place for the princes to practice archery.

Jun Huailang had a headache when he saw the bow and arrow.

In his previous life, he only learned some self-defense martial arts, and basically never learned archery. After all, in Chang'an City, the children of aristocratic families learned archery just for hunting and feasting. He especially doesn't like to be in the limelight on this kind of thing. He has always stayed quiet and has never practiced such skills.

But the princes have stricter requirements, and riding and shooting are all necessary skills.

When they arrived at the school grounds, Xue Yunhuan happily took Jun Huailang to pick arrows. He weighed it up and down, insisting on finding the heaviest one. After being persuaded by his instructor, he reluctantly picked up a half-stone bow.

"Sooner or later I will be able to draw a stone bow!" Xue Yunhuan held the bow and boasted to Jun Huailang. "At that time, I will ask my father for permission to go to Border Pass to fight!"

Jun Huailang asked Fu Yi to find something lighter, and laughed when he heard this: "You can become a general if you can draw a bow and shoot arrows? Don't make the emperor angry, and then teach him to scold you."

Xue Yunhuan curled his lips unconvinced.

The princes and companions in the palace had all practiced archery, but Jun Huailang had not. The teacher gave a brief explanation and then asked the disciples to practice on their own.

The princes spread out and stood in their respective positions, each facing a target. Jun Huailang whispered to Xue Yunhuan that he had never learned archery, and Xue Yunhuan specifically asked him to stand next to him.

Xue Yunhuan patted his chest and assured him: "I'm very good at archery! You just have to watch my movements, and you can learn them very well."

Jun Huailang reluctantly felt relieved.

When everyone started practicing, he stood there and watched Xue Yunhuan fire a few arrows. Unlike several other princes, Xue Yunhuan can really hit the target with his arrows, which is considered outstanding.

He watched it several times, then imitated Xue Yunhuan's movements, drew the bow and arrow, and aimed at the target.

This bow is quite heavy in my hand, but I didn't expect that it would be particularly laborious to pull the bow string. The bowstring was tight and tough, and it still tightened around Jun Huailang's hand. He couldn't lift it until he pulled it halfway.

Sure enough, it's one thing to watch others do it, but it's another thing to do it yourself.

Jun Huailang began to feel a little annoyed, hating that in his previous life he was quiet and didn't like to play. If I could learn from it before, I wouldn't be so embarrassed now.

He reluctantly raised his hand and tried to use his strength to shoot a few arrows at will.

Just then, a hand pressed on his elbow.

Jun Huailang turned his face sideways and saw Xue Yan standing beside him, his amber eyes slightly lowered, and his gaze fell on the bow and arrow in his hand indifferently and quietly.

Being very close, Jun Huailang could see his long and thick eyelashes. Such deep and exquisite facial features are not something ordinary Central Plains people have.
