Resisting the Wind and Splendor

Chapter 197 I, the King, will give you one last chance.

People from Prince Jin's residence have arrived.

When everyone turned around, the first thing they saw was Lu Fengjin, dressed in a brocade outfit.

I heard that he was injured in Xishan before, but today he came riding a tall horse and did not look sick or weak at all.

It seems the injury has completely healed.

Everyone soon noticed the girl riding a horse not far behind him.

It wasn't Tuoba Feiyuan after all!

Instead, she was a woman who was much prettier than Tuoba Feiyuan!

The woman was also dressed in a brocade outfit, the same style as Prince Jin's, but her attire lacked some of the noble air of the prince.

Walking with her was Qin Wu, whose horsemanship and archery skills were also exceptional; he had been part of the team in previous years.

Qin Wu's clothes were almost identical to the girl's, and together with the two warriors behind them and Prince Jin, they formed a group of five.

"That girl is also here to compete! Could it be that the rumors outside are true?"

"What rumors?"

"It's...that person's older sister..."

"Which one?"

"Flower of the Desert".

Everyone was talking about it.

Zisu arrived in her carriage. After placing the carriage in the position of the Duke's mansion's procession, Zisu immediately jumped down from the front room and quickly walked to Chu Yueli's side.

“Miss, that is Tuoba Mingyue. I met her once before. I heard that her riding and archery skills are better than Qin Wu’s.”

Chu Yueli's gaze fell on Tuoba Mingyue.

Unexpectedly, Tuoba Mingyue was also looking in their direction. Their eyes met, and Tuoba Mingyue nodded slightly as a greeting.

Chu Yueli returned the smile.

Their eyes met.

Chu Yi whispered, "Miss, Qin Wu's martial arts skills may not be outstanding, but his horsemanship and archery skills are extremely impressive, as we have all witnessed."

Chu Yueli nodded.

Zisu, however, was somewhat disdainful: "It's not necessarily the same as Tuoba Feiyuan, who calls himself the flower of the desert, but in fact, he hasn't even hit many fruits."

Zisu had heard about Lu Fengjin taking Tuoba Feiyuan to the military camp to demonstrate his archery and horsemanship skills to the soldiers.

Chu Yueli said, "This girl is different from Tuoba Feiyuan. She has sharp eyes and a calm demeanor, which Tuoba Feiyuan cannot compare to. She may very well be a true master."

"Miss, don't boost their morale."

"But we can't underestimate them." Chu Yueli waved her hand, indicating she didn't want to discuss other people's affairs.

Unexpectedly, before they could discuss matters concerning the Prince Jin's residence, people from the Prince Jin's residence arrived.

"General Chu, Miss Li, my master invites you." Qin Wu walked up to the two of them, cupped his hands in greeting, and casually glanced at the Duke's mansion's procession.

There are only four people here: Chu Xiaohe and Chu Yi, Chu Yueli and Zisu. Is this really the only team of four they're going to participate in? Isn't that a bit too frivolous?

Leaving aside whether Chu Yi can qualify, Chu Yueli and Zisu have absolutely no chance of being shortlisted.

You should know that you have to pass an exam before you can enter the royal hunting grounds.

Is this Duke's mansion's entourage just here to make a fool of themselves?

Although Qin Wu greatly respected Chu Yueli, this time he strongly disagreed with her.

Chu Yueli ignored his strange gaze and walked up to Lu Fengjin with Chu Xiaohe, bowing and saying, "Greetings, Your Highness."

"Ali, General Chu, I'm giving you one last chance. Join the Prince Jin's forces now, and I will not pursue the past any further."

Lu Fengjin said this with a belly full of resentment.

Their insistence on forming their own group is damaging the reputation of the Prince Jin's Mansion.

Lu Fengjin said coldly, "If you continue to be so stubborn, from this day forward, I will truly have no further connection with your Duke's Mansion. I urge you both to reconsider!"
