"Haha, who does this Shen Yuexi think I am, that he dares to make demands on me?"

Xiao Beiheng read Shen Yuexi's letter and threw it casually on the table.

Su Mo, who was sitting opposite him, reached out and picked up the letter. She frowned at the first glance and said to herself:

"Is this really written by Miss Shen Er of the Duke's Mansion?"

The handwriting on the letter was crooked, and the ink was smudged in many places, like water dripping on the paper. The main content was that Xirong was about to invade Xiaogang Village, and I hoped Xiao Beiheng could send cavalry to help defend against foreign enemies.

After all, he is from a famous family, so why is his handwriting so sloppy?

Su Mo put the letter down, thinking that she might be disappointed by Shen Yuexi. Xiao Beiheng had just destroyed a village, so why would he send troops to protect a village?

This can be seen from Xiao Beiheng's attitude when he lost the letter just now.

"Momo, don't underestimate her," Xiao Beiheng picked up the tea cup on the table and took a sip. "Whether her handwriting is good or not is another matter, but she is a genius. This time Xiao Zhuo can resist at Langya Pass. The attack of the tens of thousands of troops living in Xirong relied entirely on the repeating crossbow she designed."

Su Modai raised her eyebrows and said with some surprise: "She can actually design weapons?"

Although she had never met Shen Yuexi, after Xiao Beiheng said this, she immediately became interested in Shen Yuexi.

A young lady from the Duke's Mansion whose calligraphy is as crawling as an earthworm can actually design weapons. Such a woman is so rare. No, she has never met such a woman.

"Beiheng, how do you know her?"

"Oh, I met her when I was in Liangzhou." Xiao Beiheng put down the tea cup nonchalantly, "She also invented a medicine that can treat diarrhea. I also asked the doctor to prepare it for this military expedition."

"What was the purpose of my father sending you to Liangzhou at that time?" Su Mo was not interested in medicine, so she asked the next question.

"Kill Xiao Zhuo, just like this time."

Su Mo asked worriedly: "Then if you kill Xiao Zhuo this time, will she die too?"

"She should have this consciousness after following Xiao Zhuo." Xiao Beiheng looked at Su Mo with a smile, "Why, Momo, do you want her to survive?"

Su Mo said: "If she is really talented, wouldn't it be better to recruit her to work for us? My father just asked you to kill Xiao Zhuo, and it has nothing to do with her. I am worried that something will happen to her if Xirong attacks."

"No," Xiao Beiheng said, "This Shen Yuexi's ability to escape...is very good."

"She...is also proficient in escaping?"

Su Mo couldn't believe why everything Shen Yuexi knew was something she didn't understand.

"If it weren't for her, how could Xiao Zhuo have escaped," Xiao Beiheng said, crossing his arms. "I heard that she and Xiao Zhuo were sitting on a flying ball... To be honest, I didn't know what it was. , just outside the border."

"Feitian?" Su Mo stood up quickly and grabbed Xiao Beiheng's arm with both hands. "It's amazing. I really want to meet this Miss Shen Er right away."

Xiao Beiheng was waiting for an answer when Xia Lan's voice came from outside the car:

"Your Highness, Mr. Lin, please come over if you have something to do."

Xiao Beiheng stood up, pressed a gentle kiss on Su Mo's forehead, and said, "I'll come as soon as I go."

Su Mo was lost in thought and didn't notice Xiao Beiheng leaving at all. After a while, she came back to her senses, opened the car door and said to Xia Lan, "Xia Lan, is Shen Yuexi's messenger still there?"

"Concubine, the messenger is still waiting for a reply and has not left."

"Let him wait a moment. I have a letter for Shen Yuexi and asked him to take it back." Su Mo sat back down and ordered, "Come here, grind the ink and prepare paper."

Su Mo sat in the car and wrote a letter to Shen Yuexi, but did not follow. Xiao Beiheng finally breathed a sigh of relief.

When they arrived at Lin Kui's place, they saw two boys from Beidi kneeling on the ground. Both of them had their hands tied behind their backs and had gray faces. The youngest was eight or nine years old, and the oldest was eleven or twelve years old. Xiao Beiheng looked at Lin Kui and said, "Where did they come from?"

Lin Kui said: "It was found in the cellar of the village. I don't know how to deal with it, so I asked the prince to deal with it."

"Haha, are they a pair of brothers? It seems that your parents don't want you to die," Xiao Beiheng looked at the hateful look in the children's eyes, smiled and looked at the corpses turning on the trees in the distance, "I don't know which one is yours." parents?"

The oldest boy, with half of his hair singed and a dark face, glared at him and whispered something through gritted teeth.

"Come here, untie them." Xiao Beiheng didn't care about the boy's curse and waved to the nearby sergeant.

A sergeant came over and untied the two children.

Lin Kui's heart moved. It seemed that the Crown Princess's persuasion to the Crown Prince had taken effect? ​​On second thought, it was unlikely. With Xiao Beiheng's behavior, it was more likely that the Crown Princess had been coaxed.

"See, that hillside is a hundred steps away from here." Xiao Beiheng pointed to the bare hillside in the distance, with a flat ground in the middle. "If you can climb over that hillside, I will spare your life."

"Limited to ten." Xiao Beiheng stretched out his hand, and the sergeant next to him immediately sent the bow and arrows.

The youngest brother was still in a daze. His elder brother shouted, grabbed his hand and ran towards the hillside.

"One." Lin Kui counted.

Xiao Beiheng casually took out an arrow from his quiver. He didn't even look up at the two children.

"two."

"three."

When Lin Kui counted to seven, his younger brother couldn't keep up with his elder brother's footsteps and fell to the ground. The older brother turned around and bent over, picked his younger brother up sideways, and continued running towards the hillside in the distance.

"eight."

"Nine."

Xiao Beiheng stretched his bow and nocked an arrow. The bowstring made a creaking sound.

Lin Kui sighed secretly in his heart. Although the two children were not far from the hillside, they were still dead. He knew His Royal Highness's arrow skills very well.

"ten."

As Lin Kui spoke the last number, the bowstring made a crisp sound, and the arrows shot out of the air and flew towards the two children.

The younger brother who was in his elder brother's arms yelled, suddenly broke away from his elder brother's arms, knocked his elder brother down, and used his own body to protect his elder brother's back.

The arrow penetrated directly into his younger brother's back.

The elder brother roared wildly, knelt on the ground, lifted up the younger brother's body and shook it desperately, tears washing down several traces on his dark cheeks.

Lin Kui looked at everything in front of him blankly.

My younger brother's behavior was very heroic. A child of only eight or nine years old could actually risk his life. This kind of courage may not even be available to adults. If this child could grow up, it would be incredible.

But his heart has become cold in the killings. I believe His Royal Highness is the same.

They are just two barbarian children, and they will both die soon.

The younger brother seemed to be saying something to his elder brother. The elder brother shook his head desperately and then nodded repeatedly, crying heartbrokenly. Lin Kui couldn't hear what the dying brother said. It must have been nothing more than "Brother, run away and leave me alone." In terms of category.

Xiao Beiheng had already drawn another arrow, read the string, and pulled the bow.

Lin Kui looked at the child who was still alive. Even if he ran with all his strength, it would be too late. What's more, he was still kneeling on the ground holding his brother and crying, and all time was wasted.

It's so sad. If he leaves his brother and runs quickly... he will still die.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince only missed once, and that was when Shen Yuexi. That time it was Xiao Zhuo who blocked the arrow for her.

No more miracles will happen now.

The arrow left the string, sent out a sharp whistle in the air, and pierced the last child.

The scene that happened next made Lin Kuiru struck by lightning.

The elder brother picked up his younger brother's body as a shield and walked backwards toward the hillside not far away.

The arrow pierced the younger brother's chest accurately, but did not hurt the older brother.

Lin Kui couldn't believe what he saw. He looked at Xiao Beiheng at a loss and found that the latter's calm attitude was gone. This was the first time Lin Kui saw his arrow-drawing hand shaking.

second arrow,

The third arrow,

The fourth arrow...

Each branch was blocked by his younger brother's young body.

The elder brother held his younger brother's body and retreated up the hillside, put down the body filled with arrows, glanced this way, turned around and disappeared behind the hillside.

Xiao Beiheng stood on the spot, his eyes were blurred, and the hand holding the bow was trembling.

"Your Highness, Your Highness!" Lin Kui rushed to Xiao Beiheng, "This child cannot be kept. Send soldiers to kill him immediately. He can't run far yet."

He waved to greet the sergeant without waiting for Xiao Beiheng to speak.

What these two children showed made him feel deeply frightened.

Xiao Beiheng stretched out his bow and blocked his hand. He took two deep breaths, returned to his normal expression, shook his head and said:

"He's over the hill, let him go."

"His Royal Highness!"

"My prince has said, let him go, anyone who disobeys the order will be killed!"
