Chapter 28: The Competition

The little palace maid showed flattery, and Ye Lingyi didn't bother to make a false deal with her, so she only asked, "Why are you so excited when the guards enter the palace?" ”

"Doesn't my sister know?" The other little palace maid was only thirteen or fourteen years old, and her childish face was surprised and said: "Today, the emperor and Prince Helian and the children of all the families have made an appointment to compete at the shooting range. ”

Saying this, Ye Lingyi finally poked her head out to look.

Originally, the Imperial Garden and the shooting range were separated by only one wall, and the Imperial Garden was higher than the shooting range, so you could really see the situation in the shooting range from here.

Above the yellow sand, I saw several well-dressed young men standing side by side, all of them were eager to try their bows, and their expressions were pretentious and arrogant, which looked very unpleasant.

Helian Che stood not very far away from them, wearing sky blue clothes today, half tied hair, and wearing a copper lion-patterned chest guard on his chest, matching bracers.

Someone ridiculed: "Helian Er Shao is really idle today!" I just got an official position of the fourth grade, don't you have to go to the queen mother to pat yourself on the back? ”

"Don't you see his outfit? It's just a coward who is afraid of death, and the emperor only invites us to come with us for entertainment, and he is really afraid that we will hurt him. How dare you say that he can wear Yang in a hundred steps, don't he brag about it himself, right? ”

There was a burst of laughter.

Helian Che was adjusting the bowstring and ignored them.

The arrogant boy walked over, patted Helian Che on the shoulder, and said with a contemptuous smile: "Helian Ershao, do you dare to compete with me?" ”

Helian Che glanced at him, but still didn't take him seriously.

This arrogant son's name is Cheng Wei, his father is Cheng Ji, a general from the second grade, his grandfather was a very good minister and worshiped the prime minister, he was proud, and he did things that hurt the sky and reason by relying on the glory of the family on weekdays, and he was obviously not good at anything, but this kind of person still thinks he is quite capable.

The young son of the Yin family, dressed in fresh clothes, came over and said with a smile: "Cheng Gongzi wants to compete with Ah Che, why don't you compete with Zai Xia first?" ”

Cheng Wei obviously didn't take the fresh-clothed boy in his eyes, and waved his hand impatiently and said, "Go, you are everywhere." Are you worthy to compete with me? Your father works in the Tai Hospital, and he is a doctor if he says it well, but he is a stinky man if he doesn't say it well, and you are a Zhonglang general under my father, and my son is called lifting you when he talks to you! ”

"You ......"

The young man surnamed Yin was furious, and the young man couldn't suppress the anger in his heart, so he wanted to add punches and kicks to him.

Seeing this, Helian Che grabbed the arm of the young man surnamed Yin, and Gu Shui's eyes swept over the arrogant Cheng Wei: "Yinchong, don't be angry." Cheng Wei just wants to compete, so what's the harm if I just have a competition with him? ”

Yin Chong was stunned for a moment, and finally put down his fist.

Cheng Wei sneered: "Then let's talk about it, you will be defeated or injured later, but it has nothing to do with me." ”

What a scumbag.

Silver is full of resentment.

"Yes."

Helian Che replied, picked up a feather arrow casually, took the arrow and buckled the string, adjusted the position to connect the front sight and the aiming point into a line, the right shoulder was strengthened, the finger of the string was quickly opened, and the feather arrow slipped out.

Hit the bull's-eye.

The little palace maid in the imperial court was so excited that she almost screamed when she hit the bull's-eye, and her appearance was not inferior to the crazy star-chasers in modern society.

Ye Lingyi snorted twice and shook her head to indicate that she couldn't understand.

However, compared with the excitement of the little palace maids, there was not much turbulence on the shooting range.

Cheng Wei looked at the three-inch feather arrow on the bullseye in the distance, and his arrogance did not weaken in the slightest, but on the contrary, it became more than three points.

"I said Helian Ershao, your archery skills are not very good! In this way, while the emperor has not yet come, my son will show you a hand, so that you can see what it means to really wear Yang in 100 steps! ”

As soon as this remark came out, it immediately aroused a warm response from the Chengwei party.

Immediately, Cheng Wei held an arrow and a bow in front of everyone, and his steps trembled and it was easy to stand still.

Yin Chong couldn't help but snicker, and whispered to Helian Che: "Look at this straw bag, even the bow is unstable, and the crosshair can't be found, so you dare to make a big fuss." ”

Indeed, with Cheng Wei's bow posture, let alone Helian Che, anyone on the field is much better than him.

However, just as everyone, including those who were on Cheng Wei's side on the surface, were waiting to see Cheng Wei's joke, a flying arrow flew towards the imperial court at an astonishing speed.

The arrow pointed directly at the little palace maid by the locust tree.

"Be careful!"

There was a loud cry by the locust tree.

Ye Lingyi pushed away the little palace maid who was blocking in front of her.

But there was still a muffled sound of the arrow sinking into the flesh.

"Red Lotus!" The palace maid screamed.

The palace maid named Red Lotus stared at her eyes and looked down blankly, looking at a feather arrow stuck in her chest, and the blood was flowing out of the arrow at an astonishing speed.

The red lotus lost her strength and fell into the arms of the palace maids, and she lost her breath.

Ye Lingyi escorted the little palace maid to get up from the ground, and hurriedly reached out to probe the pulse of the palace maid's neck, only to find that her pulse was calm and terrifying.

Although it was a mistake, it was also a fatal blow.

Ye Lingyi's eyes sank and looked at the shooting range.

There, Cheng Wei, who had just sent a eunuch to find the missing feather arrow, wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, you know, if this arrow flew into which treetop pool or pool, it would be fine, but if it unintentionally hurt the emperor and the queen mother......

Cheng Wei couldn't imagine the consequences.

At this time, someone said: "The emperor should be coming soon, right?" ”

Cheng Wei glanced at the person who spoke.

Soon a little eunuch came into the shooting range.

"How? Did you find it? Have you looked everywhere? ”

Cheng Wei couldn't wait to ask.

The little eunuch said: "The slave doesn't know what Cheng Gongzi is talking about, the slave is here to pass on the emperor's message, today the envoy of the Heishui Ministry is visiting, and the queen mother and the emperor have gone to meet, so the shooting range can't come." ”

The words of the little eunuch made Cheng Wei's heart tighten and relax at the same time, although the tributary arrow was not found, but fortunately, the queen mother and the emperor went to meet with the foreign ministers, at least it means that this arrow is not likely to fall on them.

Not long after the little eunuch who had passed the message turned around and left, the eunuch who had been ordered to search for arrows returned.

"How?"

Compared with the previous panic, Cheng Wei has calmed down a lot at this moment.

With an ugly face, the eunuch took out a bloody arrow from his sleeve and handed it to Cheng Wei.

Cheng Wei's heart tightened, and he asked in surprise: "...... this arrow?"

"Back to Cheng Gongzi, the slave was an arrow found in the Imperial Garden, and a Xin Nu was unfortunately killed by an arrow."

The servants in the palace are also divided into three, six, and nine, and Xin Nu is the lowest in the palace rank.

Hearing this, Cheng Wei suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and waved his hand disappreciably: "Hey, aren't you just going to die a lowly minion?" I'll go to the emperor to explain it. ”

Turning his head, he said to Helian Che quite proudly, "How is it?" My son's archery skills are better than your play, right? If the bow is not stained with blood, then the archery will be meaningless to learn, what about a hundred steps through Yang, where can it be compared to this son to easily defeat the enemy with one move? ”

"It's shameless."

Silver snorted coldly.

Helian Che didn't speak, there was a cold light in his eyes, he dropped the bow and arrow in his hand and turned away.

Cheng Wei shouted behind him: "Why did the second son of Helian leave?" Don't you compare one to the other anymore? I've won you......"

From the shooting range, you have to go through a long corridor, which is the only way to connect the shooting range to the imperial court and then to the palace gate.

Cheng Wei, who is full of foreign appearances today, is humming a little song and walking on this corridor at this time.

The waning sun at dusk sifted through the forest at the edge of the cloister a layer of blood-colored sunlight, and a pair of small feet quietly stepped on it.

Ye Lingyi, who was dressed as a man, followed behind the defenseless Cheng Wei, a powerful dagger hung above his head, and stabbed down on Cheng Wei's neck.

But as soon as the strong wind passed, he was snatched away without even touching the clothes on the back of Cheng Wei's neck.

Someone grabbed her from behind and dragged her into the huge rockery by the cloister.

"You!"

Ye Lingyi looked at Helian Che who appeared here like a ghost in astonishment, and was just about to speak when his mouth was covered by a big hand.

It wasn't until Cheng Wei's footsteps were far away that he let go of her, frowned and scolded: "Are you addicted to killing?" Any idea what this place is? Do it here, even if you have 10,000 lives, it's not enough to die! ”

"That's my business."

Ye Lingyi glanced at him coldly and walked out.

But he didn't take two steps and was pulled back again.

Ye Lingyi was annoyed and ashamed, took advantage of the situation to take back the dagger that had been snatched, and fiercely choked the pulse of Helian Che's wrist, and as soon as the two of them turned around, the situation was wonderfully reversed.

Ye Lingyi imprisoned Helian Che in his arm, and held the dagger to the position of his heart: "I know how to stab into the chest is the most painful and deadly, so, don't meddle in my business again!" ”

A smile gradually spread across Helian Che's face hidden behind the mask, and her large hand slowly covered her hand, sending the dagger to her chest, and it looked like it was about to pierce him in the chest.

"You're crazy!"

Ye Lingyi was startled, and hurriedly fixed his arm to prevent him from driving.

Helian Che chuckled: "Look, you act like a demon who kills people without blinking, but if you really want to kill me, you can't do it." ”

"That's ......" Ye Lingyi's mouth moved: "That's because you didn't do evil, if one day you kill innocents indiscriminately, I can kill you too!" ”

"Really?" Helian Che's smile remained unchanged, the light in his eyes suddenly gathered, Ye Lingyi was circled into his arm without even reacting skills, and the dagger in her hand was aimed at her neck at an incredible angle.

"To be merciful to one's enemies is to be cruel to oneself. I can give you a chance, and if you think you can do it, kill me now! ”

His voice was low and full of temptation, and when it exploded in his ears, Ye Lingyi only felt that his back was inexplicably weak, and he almost couldn't hold the dagger tightly.

"Helian Che," she swallowed hard, "don't push me!" ”

A huge force suddenly burst out from her palm, she was trapped in the crook of her arm and turned around, the dagger in her hand fell to the ground with a "clang", and the next moment her hands pinched his neck with unmistakable precision, but she didn't use force.

The eyes above her head were staring at her motionlessly, her long eyelashes even revealing the mask, and her thin lips were reddish like the color of the sun......

"What? Aren't you being pushed? Even the dagger capital is lost? Why don't you get your hands dirty yet? ”

Can why?

She was encircled in the crook of her arm with her back to him, and now when she turned around, this crook of her arm instantly didn't look like a confinement, but like ...... He hugged her.

Ye Lingyi felt that she was a little strange at the moment, obviously she was only full of killing intent when she followed Cheng Wei, but now she had forgotten why she was so anxious.

His hands froze.

She withdrew from his arms, her expression reverting to her usual indifference.

Helian Che bent down and picked up the dagger on the ground, and sighed: "You are also in the imperial court today, right?" You are here for the Sinnu who was slain. ”

He guessed right.

Ye Lingyi didn't speak.

Helian Che said again: "Do you know that Helian Tu's biological mother died, just a few days ago. She has not been awake for a day since Helian Tu died, so she relied on potions to hang her life, and finally she didn't even blink to death. ”

When talking about that woman, Ye Lingyi's expression had a hint of guilt: "She is a poor woman, but I never regret killing Helian Tu." Because he's damned! ”

"Then what do you think is good for you to act in such a hurry? I might as well tell you, like today's Xinnu who died in vain for no reason, in this palace, the corpses may be piled up into several mountains, do you also have to dispose of the emperor and the queen mother together? Wake up, don't be stupid. ”

"I'm just doing what I can."

Helian Che straightened her shoulder: "Green kite, do you think that if you do this, the dead will be grateful to you?" But though they are physically dead, you have harmed them again. ”

Ye Lingyi looked at him with puzzlement in his eyes.

"Everything you have done seems to be punishing adultery and eliminating evil, but in fact it is just showing your selfishness and your desire to kill, do you know what the consequences will be if you kill Chengwei today? His father Cheng Ji will never give up, and the palace compound can't be investigated, can't he, as a dignified general, clean up Na Xinnu's family in the people? ”

"But it's obvious that the person killed the palace maid, doesn't he have to pay any price? Is there no justice in this world? ”

Ye Lingyi's stubborn appearance made Helian Che's heart ripple.

looked at her for a long time, and spit out a string of inscrutable words from his thin lips: "The so-called justice in this world is just the desire of the people, and the real justice is still hidden before the dawn." ”

Ye Lingyi didn't understand his words at this time, so he only shook off the hand he grabbed on his shoulder and walked out.

When she was about to leave the rockery, she turned her back to him and whispered: "Helian Che, you are the first person in this world to teach me and force me to kill, but now you are acting like a righteous person to stop me, don't you think this is too hypocritical?" ”

Helian looked at it clearly, facing the dazzling sunset, only to see a clear and resolute back.
