The people of Zhao have always been known for their good riding and shooting, and today's Baili Xuan made such a request, which undoubtedly killed Gu Ranchen's army.

Gu Ranchen raised his eyebrows, "Since Prince Xuan has this Yaxing, this king is willing to accompany him, how does Prince Xuan plan to compete?" ”

Bai Li Xuan seemed to have planned everything a long time ago, and said without thinking, "Since it is a master's move, we will decide the victory with one stone." However, the competition always has to be something new to be interesting. ”

Bai Li Xuan said, his eyes fell on Princess Linglong. Bai Li Xuan proposed to hang the copper ring on Princess Linglong with a copper ring arrow target in the shape of a copper coin, and the archer should shoot the arrow into the arrow target but not leave the arrow target, and let the arrow hang on the copper ring impartially, otherwise, once the arrow passes through the arrow target, it will hit Princess Linglong and kill her.

This is not only a challenge to archery, but also a psychological test, after all, archers are facing real people.

When the emperor heard this proposal, he frowned, "Lord Xuan wants to use the princess of my Great Yan Kingdom as an arrow target, isn't it a bit too deceitful?" ”

Bai Li Xuan replied, "Your Majesty, although Princess Linglong is the princess of Dayan, she has already made a marriage contract with Xiao Wang, according to the customs of Zhao Kingdom, there is a marriage contract, and she is Xiao Wang's person, Xiao Wang let his fiancée make an arrow target for Xiao Wang, it seems to be Xiao Wang's family affair, and it has nothing to do with His Majesty and Da Yan Kingdom." ”

"Since she is not married, she is the princess of my Great Yan Kingdom, and I will not allow anyone to hurt her." The emperor was a little unhappy, this matter is not only about the life of Princess Linglong, but also about the dignity of the Great Yan Kingdom, Bailixuan did this deliberately to embarrass the emperor.

"Your Majesty said this, do you believe in Xiao Wang's archery or don't you believe in Gu Wangye's archery?" Bai Li Xuan asked provocatively.

Princess Linglong saw that things had come to such a point, so she stepped forward and gave a gift, "Father, since Linglong wants to marry Prince Xuan as the princess of the Great Yan Kingdom, it is for the friendship of the two countries. ”

Since Princess Linglong has said so, the emperor has no reason to object, if he keeps refusing, it will seem that Da Yan Kingdom is a little stingy. Immediately order people to prepare.

In fact, Princess Linglong said this, and she was not willing, but she could see that today's posture, if she wanted to escape, she couldn't escape, rather than passive, it was better to take the initiative to agree, in this way, not only gave the emperor a step, but also sold Bailixuan a face, killing two birds with one stone.

Seeing that the emperor agreed, Princess Linglong continued, "Father, Linglong took the arrow target for Prince Xuan for the sake of the friendship between the two countries. To a certain extent, Linglong is a person from Prince Xuan, and this move can be regarded as a gesture of goodwill to the Great Yan Kingdom on behalf of the Lord Xuan, but if my Great Yan Kingdom does not have a person to take the arrow target for the Lord Gu, is it rude? ”

"Linglong's words are reasonable." The emperor said, glanced sideways at the little eunuch next to him, and instructed him to take the arrow target for Gu Ranchen.

Princess Linglong said this, there must be her abacus, how could it be that she simply wanted to pull a little eunuch into the water, Princess Linglong glanced at Liu Shihua with the afterglow of her eyes, "Father, it is a little inappropriate to let a little eunuch do the work for her, it is also a coincidence today, the poetry and painting girl and Linglong danced together, and Xuan Wangye and Gu Wangye both appreciated the poetry and painting, it is better to let the poetry and painting take on this heavy responsibility, what is the father's intention?" ”

The last time I didn't get a bargain in Zhishu Pavilion, Princess Linglong has always held a grudge against Liu Shihua, and she has always had palpitations, today, the opportunity is rare, of course she can't let it go easily. Bai Li Xuan came up with such a way to provoke in public, Princess Linglong was sure that he must be sure of victory, since this is the case, it is better to take this opportunity to get rid of Liu Shihua, which is both fair and fair, and does not leave a trace.

Bai Li Xuan said on the side, "Princess Linglong's proposal is very good, Xiao Wang sees that Gu Wangye cares for the poetry and painting girl, and must be reluctant to hurt it, if the poetry and painting girl personally takes the arrow target for Gu Wangye, Gu Wangye will be able to play steadily, and he is not willing to hurt the beauty." ”

The emperor looked at Liu Shihua with some embarrassment, after all, this is a matter of gambling his life, the emperor does not care about Liu Shihua's life or death, but he knows that Ping Guifei cares about Liu Shihua very much, if something happens to Liu Shihua, he has no way to explain to Ping Guifei.

Liu Shihua saw the emperor's embarrassment, and a faint fear arose in her heart, the weapon was ruthless, who could guarantee that Gu Ranchen would not miss? However, on top of this hall, as a weak woman, Liu Shihua had no right to refuse at all, she was blessed, and said loudly, "Shihua is willing to listen to His Majesty's dispatch." ”

The emperor heard Liu Shihua say this, and ordered, "Since this is the case, I will do it according to Princess Linglong's wishes." ”

When Princess Linglong heard this, she glanced at Liu Shihua proudly, Liu Shihua hooked the corners of her mouth, and replied with a faint smile, such calmness made Princess Linglong's heart feel inexplicably uneasy.

The venue of the competition was selected in the school field in the backyard of the palace, and after the venue was arranged, the minister of civil and military affairs accompanied the emperor to watch the competition outside the school field.

Gu Ranchen, Bai Lixuan, Princess Linglong and Liu Shihua stood in the center of the venue, waiting for the competition to begin.

"Lord Gu, you are the master, why don't you let this king see your archery skills first?" Bai Li Xuan smiled slightly hostilely.

Gu Ranchen nodded, his eyes revealing all kinds of confidence, "Okay, since Prince Xuan has such an interest, this king will throw bricks and lead jade." ”

Princess Linglong pretended to be kind and reminded on the side, "Lord Gu be careful, don't hurt the beauty." ”

Gu Ranchen replied jokingly, "Don't worry, princess, this king has always cherished the jade." ”

Liu Shihua stood there dumbfounded, she didn't know what was waiting for her in a while, and she couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive in her heart.

Gu Ranchen turned his head, his gentle gaze fell on Liu Shihua, and said in a gentle voice, "Don't worry, I promise not to hurt you in the slightest." ”

The moment Liu Shihua raised his eyes, he just collided with Gu Ranchen, and from Gu Ranchen's eyes, Liu Shihua read a sense of security.

For some reason, this simple sentence of comfort made Liu Shihua feel very down-to-earth, and she was dissipated by this promise, and suddenly became very calm.

"Poetry and painting believe in the prince, and please don't have any scruples, no matter what the result is, the poetry and painting will be borne together with the prince." Liu Shi's lips opened lightly, and he cast a trusting gaze at Gu Ranchen.

Gu Ranchen nodded, but there was a little more pity in his eyes unconsciously.

Without any more words, Gu Ranchen flew on the horse, patted the horse's back and took a few steps back. And Liu Shihua also took a few steps back under the guidance of the little eunuch, and the two opened up a distance of about 100 steps.

Gu Ranchen pulled his bow and arrow, and his eyes were sharply aimed at the copper ring hanging on Liu Shihua's chest, and the arrow was stuck in mid-air, but it did not leave the string.
