At the beginning, I was a rich female prisoner

Faced with such questioning, Nangong Lin couldn't help but feel helpless and smiled bitterly. He quickly raised his hands to indicate that he had no ill intentions, and explained: "How could I do such a boring thing? Besides, given my current condition, I don't have the extra energy to sneak attack others!"

Although Nangong Lin had expressed his position so sincerely, Yu Yunxin still seemed to have doubts. So, in order to completely dispel her concerns, Nangong Lin solemnly promised: "I am willing to swear to the princess with my own reputation as a guarantee that I will never do anything wrong. Please believe me!"

Seeing this, Yu Yunxin's heart finally settled down. She relaxed her brows slightly, turned around and left with light steps.

Looking at Yu Yunxin's figure walking away, Nangong Lin's heart suddenly surged with warmth. Although they always quarreled and fought each other, he knew very well that Yu Yunxin actually cared about him very much in her heart. Thinking of this, a faint smile appeared on his well-defined lips.

"I was deliberately gentle today! Just eat some light food at night and have a good sleep." Yu Yunxin said as she turned around and smiled brightly at Nangong Lin.

Hearing this, Nangong Lin slowly walked down from the pillar, stretched his muscles a few times, and suddenly felt extremely comfortable, as if all the fatigue was dispelled. The corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a satisfied smile. He had to admit that Yu Yunxin treated him well. Last night, he practiced swordsmanship until late at night, causing his arms to ache unbearably, and even hugged Yu Yunxin tightly when he fell asleep at night. And at this moment, after her kneading, he actually felt unprecedented comfort and relaxation.

Yu Yunxin is not an ordinary person, she is the big boss of a chain of health clubs! This medical skill was taught by a respected old Chinese doctor! So, as soon as she touched Nangong Lin, she could immediately notice that his arm was a little strained.

Nangong Lin looked at Yu Yunxin's beautiful eyes and asked, holding her hand and acting coquettishly, "Xin'er, when can we touch you?"

Yu Yunxin looked at Nangong Lin's hungry look and said, "Let's talk about it after the martial arts competition in the training ground. I haven't forgiven you for what happened last time."

He knew that if he lost the competition, it would not only disappoint Yu Yunxin, but also cause dissatisfaction among the court and Yu Yunxin's people. After all, he was a prince, and he married the owner of Yanyu Manor, representing the face of the Princess of Xingguo.

Therefore, in the following time, Nangong Lin began to train hard, day and night. He not only invited military masters to teach him martial arts, but also continued to study military tactics, striving to be foolproof.

Yu Yunxin watched him silently from the side, occasionally giving him some advice and encouragement. Although she still looked cold on the surface, deep down she had developed a different feeling for this man...

The next morning, the sun was shining brightly. Yu Yunxin, dressed in a light pink outfit, walked out of the mansion with Nangong Lin like a light and agile butterfly. Today was the day for the military token competition outside the West City, and all this was because of the crucial military token. Yesterday, after careful consideration, Emperor Cheng finally decided to let her four princes and the five grandchildren of the Lin family compete together in the military token competition. Only the winner could get the military token of 400,000 soldiers.

At the entrance of the training ground, General Lin stared at Nangong Lin and Yu Yunxin who were walking into the training ground with sharp eyes. He was wearing silver armor and a black and shiny black gold long sword was hanging around his waist. He looked majestic and imposing.

Emperor Cheng, wearing a golden dragon robe, sat in the center of the high platform in the parade ground. On his left sat the Minister of War, and on his right sat the Left Guard of the Imperial Guard. When everyone was in place, Emperor Cheng said with a dignified look, "Mr. Lin, we can begin now!"

"Okay, Your Majesty!" General Lin responded, then turned to face the crowd and announced in a loud voice: "The first round is archery. You are all elite generals of our Great Yan Dynasty, and I believe you all have unique attainments in archery. As a leader, superb archery is the key to taking the head of an enemy general in the midst of thousands of troops! In front of the training ground, dozens of movable targets have been placed. You will show your riding and archery skills here later. Whoever hits the most will win this round!"

After that, everyone got on their horses, holding bows and arrows, each arrow was marked with a unique mark. At this moment, the focus of the scene was not only the distinguished Crown Prince, but also three heroic princes and five generals from the Lin family - Lin Dengke, Lin Denghe, Dengshan, Dengyu and Dengyuan. These five people held military positions and had already made their mark at a young age, and could be called young heroes.

At this moment, there was a burst of exciting gong and drum sounds from the high platform, and nine riders galloped out on their horses, drawing their bows and arrows at the same time, their movements were smooth and seamless. However, what was unexpected was that several soldiers holding wooden sticks suddenly jumped out from all around and pounced on the nine people like tigers descending from the mountains.

"Damn it! This old General Lin is really full of tricks!" The fourth prince couldn't help cursing. The originally simple target shooting contest has now become complicated. Not only do they need to hit the target, but they also have to distract themselves to deal with these sudden enemies.

"Haha, fourth brother, you are best at riding and archery. Isn't this just what you want?" The second prince smiled and joked.

"Second brother is really humorous." The fourth prince chuckled.

"Look at the skills of the fifth brother. He has just recovered from his stupidity, but his skills seem to be even better than before." The second prince said as he drew his bow and arrow, as if to show his archery skills to everyone. However, as soon as he drew his bow, he was ambushed. Several cavalrymen rushed out like ghosts, disrupting his plan.

"Are you taking this for fun?" The Fourth Prince said in surprise, looking at the Second Prince who was under attack from all sides.

Faced with these troublemakers, Nangong Lin was not panicked at all. He nimbly passed by a cavalryman.

With a "whoosh", an arrow hit an enemy like lightning. Then, he stood on the horse's back and shot another one with another arrow. His movements were as smooth as flowing water. He shot three arrows in a row, and every one of them hit the target.

Seeing Nangong Lin so brave, Lin Dengyuan was unwilling to be outdone. His greatest skills were silver needles and archery. The silver needles in his hand shot out like meteors, knocking out the harassing soldiers. Then he shot three arrows in a row, and two of them accurately hit the moving target.

"The fifth grandson of the National Defense General is really capable. It seems that my Dacheng will have another young general in the future!" Emperor Cheng said happily.

"He's all show and fancy, but he's not as honest as Prince Yu who can shoot accurately every time. I think Prince Yu can keep his composure." General Lin commented while watching the exciting game on the parade ground.

Yu Yunxin watched Lin Dengyuan shoot three arrows and hit two targets. It was very impressive. His archery skills were comparable to Nangong Lin's.

Nangong Lin looked back and saw that Yu Yunxin didn't look at him, but instead cast his gaze at Lin Dengyuan who was drawing the bow and shooting three arrows. He was instantly jealous, but he still shot accurately and shot down several arrows in the distance. His shooting speed was so fast, like a double-gunner shooting with both hands, and he didn't take the people who were interfering seriously at all.

The prince was good at riding and shooting arrows, but he had to deal with these people who were interfering with him, which was a headache for him. The wound on his chest had not healed yet, and it was not easy for him to hold on until now. He was about to draw the bow, but suddenly he felt a piercing pain, as if millions of ants were gnawing at his heart, so his eyes went dark and he fell off his horse. Fortunately, the interfering soldier was quick to support the prince and said, "Old General, the prince's old injury has relapsed."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Cheng's face changed drastically, and he shouted, "Quickly call the imperial physician! There must be no mistakes!"

However, Yu Yunxin didn't notice the situation of the prince at this time. Her eyes were attracted by the wonderful performance of Nangong Lin and Lin Dengyuan, as if they were the only two people in the world. Just when she was concentrating, a sudden silence interrupted her thoughts - the sound of gongs and drums suddenly stopped.

"The first match is over." The gong soldiers shouted loudly. Before he finished speaking, another clear and loud gong sounded throughout the venue, like a thunderbolt breaking through the sky. In an instant, the eight riders on the field pulled the reins and drove their horses to quickly line up under the messenger stand.

Emperor Cheng was extremely anxious. He quickly walked down the stands and went straight to the prince. He asked with a worried look on his face: "My son, since you are injured, why do you come here to endure such pain?" His words were full of heartache and concern.

"Father, I'm sorry. I brought shame to you." The prince covered his chest and said with a guilty look on his face.

"Go down and recuperate!" Emperor Cheng glanced at him and said calmly.

"Yes, father, I'm afraid I can no longer participate in the following competitions." The prince's voice was filled with a hint of regret and unwillingness, but more of it was helplessness about his own physical condition.

General Lin, who was standing by, had a serious look on his face when he heard this. He quickly bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I didn't know that the Crown Prince was injured, and I still let him compete. I really deserve death! Please punish me, Your Majesty!"

Emperor Cheng waved his hand, signaling General Lin to stand up, and then slowly said: "This is not your fault. The prince insisted on going on the field, and he also wanted to win glory for our dynasty. However, since you are injured, you should rest well and don't be stubborn."

The prince looked at Emperor Cheng with gratitude, then turned to Yun Xin and said, "Sister Yun Xin, I will leave first. I will come to see you after I recover from my injuries."

Yu Yunxin nodded slightly, a trace of concern flashed in her eyes, and she said softly: "Brother Crown Prince, take care of yourself and get well soon."

The prince smiled and nodded, then staggered down the arena. He came to the stand opposite Yu Yunxin and sat down silently, his eyes always on her, as if he had thousands of words to say.

Yu Yunxin felt a little uncomfortable at this moment. She knew that the prince might have been injured because of her, and she couldn't help but feel guilty. But she didn't look at Nangong Sheng again.

After the first match, the atmosphere became extremely tense and enthusiastic. As cheers rang out, the messenger walked forward with his head held high and announced the results of the eight contestants loudly.

Unsurprisingly, the first place was Nangong Lin! He shot an astonishing ten arrows! Everyone looked at him with envy and admiration. Then, the second place was announced - Lin Dengyuan followed closely with nine arrows. However, for others, the next place seemed no longer important.

At this time, General Lin walked to Lin Dengyuan with steady steps. He frowned slightly and said in a serious tone: "Dengyuan, why are you so impatient today? Don't you see that although Prince Yu shoots slowly, each arrow is extremely accurate and his hit rate is much higher than yours!"

After hearing what his grandfather said, Lin Dengyuan was slightly stunned at first, then he raised his eyebrows to General Lin and asked with a wink: "Grandpa, I understand. So what will the next game be?" His expression revealed a hint of curiosity and anticipation, as if he was full of interest in the upcoming challenge.

"You'll know soon." Old Lin just glanced at Lin Dengyuan casually and responded expressionlessly.

Mr. Lin's tone was calm and indifferent, as if he was not interested in Lin Dengyuan's question or had already anticipated it. His eyes did not fluctuate at all, revealing a calmness and composure that came from having experienced many ups and downs and being well-informed.

"Take a break for two incense sticks. The next round will be a duel. The person who stays on the ring till the end wins. You are not allowed to use weapons." The commander standing in the middle of the ring announced the rules of the competition in a loud voice. His words were clear and distinct for everyone present to hear clearly.

Hearing this, Lin Dengyuan blinked his eyes, his eyes flashing with excitement and anticipation. He couldn't wait to ask, "Can I use silver needles?" He seemed to hope to use his unique skills to increase his chances of winning.

However, Elder Lin interrupted his fantasy without hesitation. "You bastard, of course not! If you use silver needles, you will be eliminated." Elder Lin's tone was full of reproach and dissatisfaction. He obviously thought that using silver needles violated the rules of the competition and was not in line with the principle of fair competition.

Yu Yunxin thought to herself. Isn't this just an eight-man bare-handed fight? Her eyes involuntarily turned to Nangong Lin. During this period of time, she taught Tai Chi to Nangong Lin, and now he has mastered it to perfection. In such an eight-man bare-handed fight, with Nangong Lin's strength, how could he lose to others? Isn't this an opportunity specially prepared for Nangong Lin?

The more Yu Yunxin thought about it, the more she felt that all this seemed to be destined. She couldn't help but feel happy for Nangong Lin, and at the same time she was full of expectations for the next game. She believed that Nangong Lin would definitely stand out in this competition and show his true strength.

Nangong Lin turned around and saw Yu Yunxin's gaze on him. The sadness in his heart instantly disappeared, and he winked at Yu Yunxin mischievously.

This action did not escape Lin Dengyuan's eyes. He secretly thought that he would teach Prince Yu a lesson later. After all, Nangong Lin was a sudden rival in love.
