Xue Yixuan smiled successfully, turned around, and looked in the direction of the General's Mansion with bright eyes. After seeing the slight fear in Shen Qingluo's eyes, he felt faintly proud, "I have an excellent candidate in my mind." , it’s better to…”
Everyone waited with bated breath for Princess Xue's life-and-death assignment. Shen Qing waited seriously, thinking that this woman was going to target him again. Unexpectedly, she opened her red lips lightly and said slowly after a while: "Let Miss Ji Liansi be the one to do it." How about this archery target?”
"What?!" Ji Liansi, who stood silently and never made a sound, suddenly shouted in shock.
Next to her, Shen Ruyue, who was gloating about her misfortune, applauded Princess Xue's plan in her heart. It could not only add interest to the game, but also take the opportunity to kill Ji Liansi. What a great idea!
As soon as Xue Yixuan finished speaking, the female officer Li Yue had already brought people up to prepare. After a while, the delicate and beautiful Yangcheng talented girl was tightly tied to a wooden stake with a rope, and the fruit on her head was not big. Not a small apple.
Ji Liansi begged the Sixth Prince to save him in shock all the way, but the Sixth Prince didn't care about her life or death at all. They still forced her to be used as a target. At this time, her eyes were full of panic and confusion, which made people feel very shocked. Feeling distressed.
Xue Yixuan spoke loudly at the chairperson's seat, "It is appropriate for a beautiful woman like Miss Ji to be the target. You see, it makes people feel pity for them. If not for this, how could the soldiers not concentrate on shooting?" Who would be so cruel as to hurt such a beautiful person, right?"
The idle petty officials present at the table had no right to speak, and it was not just a matter of a day or two for the royal nobles to play with human lives. They, the little people who depended on survival, could only speak out in agreement.
Shen Qing was immediately angry. Let her be the archery target by herself. Whoever dared to hurt her would make half of Xue Yixuan's hair fall to the ground! Let's see who can't concentrate! Just when he wanted to get up and fight back, he was pulled by Xia Houzhan beside him. Living.
"Calm down and keep watching."
The low and calm six words immediately made the furious Shen Qing hesitate for a while, but he finally chose to believe Xia Houzhan's words. Although he was a hateful person, he should not play games with human lives.
Baili Yunzhi stretched out his hand and patted Shen Qingluo, trying to comfort her and make her feel better. After all, it was a long-time friend who was used as an arrow target, so it was no wonder she was so angry.
Ji Liansi, who was tied to a wooden stake, saw that there were so many people present, but no one was willing to say a word for her. The original chill and panic suddenly turned into endless despair. She turned her eyes and fell on Shen Qingluo. Even she didn't say anything to help him, but the friendship of more than ten years was really worthless. Shen Ruyue was right, she did see things more clearly than he did.
The Shen Qingluo of today is no longer the Shen Qingluo of the past!
Shen Qing felt the timidity in Ji Liansi's eyes, but couldn't help her for the moment. But letting her sit was causing her conscience to be condemned. The feeling of being restless finally made her unbearable, and she stood up suddenly. At the same time, Xiahou Zhan also spoke coldly.
"Miss Ji is just a prostitute. I'm afraid she won't be able to bear the torture of five times of fear. The main purpose of the Sixth Prince's trip is to inspect the strength of the garrison, so just let my two subordinates shoot."
Baili Yunzhi took advantage of the situation and said, "General, the Sixth Prince has always been kind and kind, how could he be willing to let such a beautiful woman suffer torture? I think the Sixth Prince will do the same without you asking."
In this world, he and Xue Yixuan are not the only ones who can perform a double act of black face and white face.
A glint flashed in Fu Yanche's eyes, and he smiled slowly, "Since it's a competition, how can we only send out the generals who defend the city to shoot? Could it be that the general feels that the archery skills of the generals under my prince's guard are not as good as those trained by the general?"
?"
"The Sixth Prince is overly worried. Today's hunting is part of the Sixth Prince's itinerary to inspect the public sentiment. The general just doesn't want such an incident of bullying the weak and blood spattering on the way. Everyone is talking about it. If word spreads, I'm afraid it will also be against the Sixth Prince.
It’s not good for the prince.”
When Xia Houzhan said this, he was always sitting on his chair. He was not disrespectful but did not really take him seriously.
Shen Qing watched the two people going back and forth with each other, but knew that it was impossible for them to let Ji Liansi go immediately. Just as he was hesitating about what to do, Baili Yun directly interrupted the conversation between the two and said
: "It's better to send one person from each army to compete. This will not only allow the two armies to compete, but also make Miss Ji less frightened."
"Okay, as Yi Yunzhi said, each army will send one person out to compete." Fu Yanche made his decision.
In the hunting ground, the two generals who stood out were both outstanding archers. To them, the woman's life was important, but winning the competition was even more important.
The Royal Guards general came out first, stood up, drew his bow and arrows, looked at the bamboo tube swinging left and right at the fruits behind him, pulled the bow fiercely, and shot out the arrow as fast as thunder and lightning. Everyone had not yet seen it.
In the blink of an eye, there was only a muffled sound, and the arrow had stabbed firmly into the apple above Ji Liansi's head!
The Imperial Guard soldiers present suddenly shouted with joy. Xue Yixuan was also very proud. He clapped his hands leisurely and said calmly and magnanimously: "If you shoot well, you will be rewarded."
"Thank you so much, Princess!" The general thanked him with joy.
Ji Liansi was so frightened that her heart was about to jump. She kept her eyes tightly closed for a long time before she dared to slowly open her eyes to check. The sweat on her body continued to be frightened. When she saw that the arrow had not hit her, her lips trembled desperately and almost lost it.
All the strength.
Seeing that Ji Liansi had almost lost half his life due to this blow, Shen Qing couldn't bear it. He pushed Xia Houzhan beside him and said softly: "If you have confidence in your subordinates, I will go and change with her."
alright."
"Shut up!" Xia Houzhan coldly interrupted the woman's twisted thoughts. He would never let his woman stand in front of a cold-edged weapon, let alone be someone else's target. Death would be impossible!
Next, the city defense general appeared. He walked quietly to the shooting position, with a distance of twenty meters and a two-meter bamboo tube. After checking the position and distance, the city defense general turned around and looked at the general at the banquet.
Xiahou Zhan watched indifferently, but nodded lightly when the city guard general looked at her, and then said loudly: "Change the fruit on her head into winter dates."
This short sentence was as loud as a thunderbolt. Everyone present knew clearly that the Sixth Prince's Royal Guards had won the shooting. Even if the city defense generals won the game, it would only be a tie. At this time, they opened their mouths and said,
Changing it a lot smaller is clearly telling everyone that there is still a gap in this competition!
Just when everyone was astonished, the entourage had already replaced the fruit on Ji Liansi's head...
