Chapter 102 Made Him Dizzy
The weather was very good. Lu Ji and Gu Jianshen rode in the front on horseback, while Zhang led Gu Dong'er and Qin Xiaoning behind.

In Jiangzhou, there are three cities and five counties, with the cities connected and stretching for dozens of miles. After running around, it was almost noon.

Zhang accompanied Qin Xiaoning and Gu Dong'er to take a rest on the city wall, while Gu Jianshen and Lu Ji went to inspect the army.

Gu Jian was well versed in leading troops and his troops were well-trained.

Today, high officials from the capital were ordered by the emperor to come for inspection. The soldiers were putting in their best efforts. Sand and stones were flying on the training ground, and shouts resounded through the sky.

From the city tower, overlooking from above, one can have a panoramic view of the grand scene of training soldiers on the parade ground.

Gu Dong'er's burning gaze was fixed on Lu Ji's upright figure. The man was wearing silver armor and a golden helmet. He was the most dazzling among the crowd of men.

It made her heart flutter.

Zhang looked at her husband who was commanding thousands of troops, and her face was full of pride.

The aunt and the sister-in-law were lying on the wall of the city wall, watching with great interest. Only Qin Xiaoning was sitting lazily on a chair, holding some dried fruits in her hand, watching in a distracted manner.

Gu Dong'er glanced at Qin Xiaoning, and couldn't help but feel sour in her heart. She quietly pulled Zhang aside and whispered, "Has sister-in-law told me what I asked her to tell my brother?"

The sister-in-law fell in love with Lu Ji and begged her to tell Gu Jianshen yesterday that she wanted to marry him.

In terms of family background, they are now a marquis' family, which makes them barely worthy of a duke's mansion. Her husband is also a close friend of Lu Ji, so it is a good marriage for her sister-in-law to marry Lu Ji.

But seeing that Lu Ji had a beautiful concubine like Qin Xiaoning, Zhang couldn't help but feel scared.

The sister-in-law is of ordinary appearance, and Lu Ji is most likely to look down on her.

Seeing Zhang's hesitation, Gu Dong'er asked anxiously, "Sister-in-law hasn't told brother yet?"

Zhang frowned and said, "This is a serious matter. You have to let me deal with it slowly."

Gu Dong'er stamped her feet in anger: "Brother Lu is leaving tomorrow, are you trying to delay me?"

"Okay, okay, I'll tell your brother about this when I get home today." Zhang comforted her sister-in-law, "Just be patient." Then she glanced at Qin Xiaoning who was sitting in the distance, "Don't provoke her."

After Lu Ji and Gu Jianshen reviewed the troops, they suddenly felt like competing in archery in the small parade ground.

The small parade ground was just below the city tower. Sitting inside the tower, one could see the two men's moves clearly.

There was a target hanging on a tree dozens of meters away, with a grass fruit hung with a silk thread. The two men rode their horses and drew their bows at the same time. Gu Jianshen's horse was half a step ahead of Lu Ji, and he shot the sharp arrow first. With a "whoosh" sound, the arrow shot by Gu Jianshen went straight to the target, but when the arrow flew halfway, it was blocked by the arrow shot by Lu Ji, and suddenly changed direction. Immediately after the blocked arrow, another arrow followed and went straight to the target, breaking the soft silk thread, and the grass fruit fell to the ground intact.

"Wow! Brother Lu is such a great archer." Gu Dong'er's eyes lit up and she clapped her hands in approval.

Zhang was also surprised and said to Qin Xiaoning with a smile: "General Lu is indeed a divine general. He can shoot arrows in succession."

Glancing at Qin Xiaoning's calm appearance, he became curious: "General Lu is so good at martial arts, isn't Miss Qin excited? The arrows are connected, or they are aimed at different targets, one to block and the other to shoot."

Qin Xiaoning glanced at Zhang's surprised expression and smiled faintly: "There's nothing to be surprised about. I'm used to it."

She has been with him since she was young. She is always by his side when he practices martial arts or studies, and has seen all kinds of good things.

When she was at home, whenever the peaches in the yard were ripe, she would stand under the tree and point at any one she wanted, and Lu Ji would shoot it down. She just had to stretch out her hand, and the peach he shot would fall into her hand intact.

Zhang looked at the beautiful little woman and sighed from the bottom of her heart: "The young lady and the general are really a perfect match." She turned her head to look at her sister-in-law and felt even more frightened.

Lu Ji definitely looks down on her.

Seeing the two men returning from martial arts practice, Zhang led Qin Xiaoning down the city wall. Seeing Lu Ji and Gu Jianshen coming, Gu Dong'er ran up to them. When she saw Lu Ji, her eyes were full of light, like a mosquito seeing blood.

"Brother Lu, your archery skills are really good."

Lu Ji only treated his best friend's sister as his own sister. He didn't notice Gu Dong'er's love for him at all, didn't think about it that way, and didn't care at all.

"Your brother is also very good at archery." Lu Ji said to Gu Dong'er as if he was talking to his own sister: "Your brother said that he also taught you martial arts. My sister at home also likes to wield swords and arrows."

Gu Dong'er looked up at Lu Ji in admiration: "I want to learn archery from Brother Lu, can you teach me?"

"Mr. Lang——"

Lu Ji was being pestered by Gu Dong'er, and the gentle voice of the little girl standing not far away came into his ears. He subconsciously raised his eyes and looked at her.

Qin Xiaoning was standing under the city wall, her clothes fluttering in the autumn wind. The little girl stood there gracefully, staring at him.

Seeing him raise his eyes, she opened her red lips and waved at him: "Come here."

Lu Ji left the Gu brothers and sisters behind and strode towards her.

He always felt that something was not right with his little woman. This indescribable feeling was so wonderful that he couldn't help but indulge in it.

He stood in front of her, staring at her intently, his eyes full of tenderness.

She took out her handkerchief and wiped his sweat, saying, "You've been busy all day, you must be tired."

The tone was gentle, with a hint of coquettishness and indescribable charm.

Finally, for some reason, the little woman glanced at the girl from the Gu family out of the corner of her eye, with a hint of provocation and a hint of pride.

Lu Ji was puzzled, but he enjoyed his little woman's sudden attentiveness. There was a hint of silliness in his smile: "Not tired."

He looked at her again and asked, "Did you see me shooting arrows just now?"

Her eyes were bright, as if there were tears in them, and she had a charming smile on her face: "See you."

As he said this, he secretly glanced at the girl from the Gu family, and then said, "My dear, your archery skills are really good. Teach me later."

Lu Ji was a little confused by the sudden tenderness of the little woman. He raised his hand and scratched his head: "Why do you suddenly want to learn archery? Didn't you hate these things the most in the past?"

"I suddenly want to learn." The little woman smiled at her, then looked at the girl from the Gu family and said, "My dear, you can only teach me, not others."

In the past, he was always called "Prince", and when they were a little more intimate, he would just call him by his name. But today, he kept calling him "Young Master", which made Lu Ji dizzy and a little lost.

Lu Ji was confused, but he replied to her straightforwardly: "Okay, I will just teach you."
