He Linwan walked to the designated position of the arrow target and stood up, put the citrus in his hand on the top of his head, and another "arrow target" next to her was also ready. Xue Xingyi and the archers of Daji Country are also in place.

The guards on the high platform waved the yellow flag in their hands to signal the start of the competition, and Xue Xingyi and the archers of Daji Kingdom picked up the bows in their hands at the same time.

He Linwan looked at Xue Xingyi, Xue Xingyi took the arrow expressionlessly, pulled the bow, wound it, and aimed, He Linwan felt a little novel, she always thought that Xue Xingyi was a scholar who was powerless, but she didn't expect to pull up the bow and really look good.

Just looking at Xue Xingyi's sharp and focused gaze, she couldn't help but suspect that he was aiming at her own eyes, not the citrus on the top of her head.

He Linwan couldn't help but feel a tightness in her heart, she realized the unhappiness of being targeted at her life, and life and death were up to others, He Linwan felt that she didn't want to experience this terrible feeling for the second time in her life.

A moment before the arrow was about to leave the string, Xue Xingyi said a word to He Linwan silently.

He Linwan saw his mouth shape clearly, and he said: You lost.

At this moment, Li Yu was still nowhere to be seen, according to He Linwan and Xue Xingyi's gamble, she seemed to have lost, He Linwan couldn't help but roll her eyes at Xue Xingyi.

This is when the change happened.

There was a sudden commotion in the stands watching the competition, and the palace maid who poured wine for Jialan, the second son of King Nan, suddenly took out a dagger from her sleeve and stabbed him in the chest, without giving Canaan's guards and the people around him time to react.

The palace maid did not flee after the blow was successful, but just knelt on the ground and shouted a word to the sky, and then wiped her neck with a dagger, and died cleanly.

It's just that she died a clean death, but she left everyone here with a mess.

When the envoys of the Great Ji Kingdom saw that Canaan had been assassinated, they immediately rushed to the rescue, and the accompanying medical officers hurriedly stopped the bleeding and healed his wounds.

When the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty saw that there were assassins, they swarmed around Emperor Tiancheng and shouted: There are assassins!

Cheng Yan, the deputy commander of the forbidden army, who had disappeared before, had appeared beside Emperor Tiancheng at some point, and immediately drew his sword to protect Emperor Tiancheng.

However, this time there was only one assassin, and he had already committed suicide, so the scene was quickly brought under control.

The ministers only then had time to react, looking at the second son of King Nan, who did not know life and death, some were anxious, some were silent, and some were secretly exchanging information with each other.

The deputy envoy of Da Ji Guo also reacted this time, and angrily accused in the non-standard Da Zhou dialect, "We came to the Great Zhou peace talks with sincerity, and we also wanted to marry the princess of the Great Zhou with a heavy gift, but your palace maid took the opportunity to assassinate our envoys, I have reason to suspect that all this that happened today is a conspiracy of your Great Zhou Dynasty." ”

Emperor Tiancheng's face was not very good-looking.

The official of the Ministry of Rites on the side immediately retorted: "We are also very shocked and regretful about the assassination of His Highness Canaan, but I dare not agree with the conspiracy of our country, although this assassin is dressed as a palace maid, he is not from my Great Zhou." ”

The other courtiers nodded in agreement.

"What she said before she killed herself was your big words. ”

"What did she just say? Is there anyone who can understand Daji's words?"

The deputy envoy of the Daji Kingdom was speechless, and his face was even more ugly, but the palace maid did say the Daji language before she died, and the content was ......

The official of the Ministry of Rites, who knew Daji, immediately translated the words of the palace maid just now, "She is talking about your lord, the slave has avenged you, the slave sacrificed his life, and cursed the king of Nan and his children and grandchildren not to die well! Obviously, the assassination was because of a personal grudge with the king of the south. ”

The chamberlain Liu Quanyou walked up to the body of the palace maid and looked at it carefully, and was shocked, and immediately reported to Emperor Tiancheng: "Your Majesty, this palace maid is indeed not from our country, she used to serve by the side of the concubine Niangniang, and she was the maid brought by the concubine Niangniang from Daji Country at the beginning. ”

After Liu Quanyou's words were finished, everyone's faces were different, and the courtiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty whispered below.

"Isn't the concubine the one who was ...... by King Kangjun before? And then the noble girl of the Daji Kingdom who committed suicide?"

"The palace maid said that she was avenging the concubine, could it be that the death of the concubine has nothing to do with King Kangjun, but has another hidden secret?"

"Listen to her, the concubine was killed by King Nan?"

"Then is there some conspiracy for them to blame King Kangjun?"

Listening to the ministers talking about the death of the concubine, not only the deputy envoy's face was ugly, but Emperor Tiancheng's face also sank.

Fortunately, the medical officer of the Great Ji Kingdom had preliminarily treated Canaan's injuries at this time.

The deputy envoy hurriedly asked, "How is Lord Canaan's injury?"

The medical officer wiped the sweat on his head and said: "Fortunately, the dagger stabbed a few points, and it didn't hurt the vital point, and the subordinates have helped the adult stop the bleeding, and there is no worry about his life for the time being, but it is best not to move too far in the near future." ”

The deputy envoy's face finally looked better.

Emperor Tiancheng's face also improved slightly, and he instructed his chamberlain to prepare a vacant palace for Canaan to recuperate.

The people of Daji Country hurriedly and carefully carried Canaan and followed the chamberlain, and as for the assassination, they had to wait until later.

The opponents are gone, of course, this competition can no longer be carried out, Emperor Tiancheng immediately announced that he would return to the palace, and left with a group of ministers, and the ministers had to think of countermeasures and rhetoric before the people of Daji Country reacted, and then they could strike first when the two sides were arguing.

Because the women's side was still some distance away from this side, they were not affected by the assassination just now, but they were all frightened. The emperor and the envoys left, and the queen appeased the concubines and show girls a few words, and also took the people away.

The queen can't be idle, although the palace maid who assassinated is a person from Daji, but she has been staying in the palace after the death of the concubine.

In just a moment's effort, the people on the school field are gone.

As the target of the arrow, He Lin had already taken off the citrus on his head, and just now because of a sudden change, the arrow in Xue Xingyi's hand did not shoot out at all.

He Linwan walked up to Xue Xingyi and smiled at him falsely.

"It's a pity that I didn't have the opportunity to admire Lord Xue's archery skills this time. ”

Xue Xingyi glanced at He Linwan and said flatly: "What are you happy about?" We bet on whether he would show up, but he didn't come, so you still lost. ”

As soon as Xue Xingyi's words spoke, a voice said, "Who said she lost?"

Xue Xingyi and He Linwan turned their heads at the same time, and saw a guard in a guard uniform walking towards them, although his face was unfamiliar, but the lazy tone was not who Li Yu was.

Li Yu walked over, seemed to naturally insert the position between He Linwan and Xue Xingyi, smiled at Xue Xingyi and said, "Although I don't know what you are betting on, as long as it has something to do with me, I won't let her lose." ”
