In the afternoon, the wind and sun in the yellow pond are beautiful. Flags were waved in the paddock, and the princes from all walks of life sent shooters, and the shooters lined up neatly, ready to compete for the first warrior in the world, accompanied by a noisy gong and drum, a fierce archery competition kicked off.

The Son of Heaven and others sat on the high platform to watch the game, and saw that the shooters were all extraordinary, whether it was an immediate reverse shot or an accurate long-range shot, all kinds of stunts were breathtaking.

King Jin stuck to the Son of Heaven's side, pointed to a shooter who had just hit ten shots, and said with a smile: "Son of Heaven, look, that is the archer of our Jin Kingdom, he is not ordinary, two hundred steps away, he can shoot arrows into the eyes of money." ”

King Wu scoffed and said sarcastically: "King Jin, today is not the time to talk big, what should you do with your nonsense?" Hehe, two hundred steps away shot into the money eye, don't be kidding. ”

King Jin thought about it, and felt that he had indeed spoken too much, so he immediately blushed, pointed at King Wu and reprimanded: "Hmph! Fucha, where's your shooter?! What is he capable of?! ”

Fucha pointed into the distance and said, "The one standing next to me in a daze is my shooter." ”

"Haha!" King Jin laughed and said, "Look at his stupid appearance, what can he do?" ”

"Hmph, he doesn't have any skills, but he's just better than all the other shooters."

At this time, it happened to be his turn to open the bow, and I saw him slowly and leisurely step forward, staring at the target, and then took out a strip of cloth and blindfolded his eyes. Immediately after, he quickly released ten arrows, and the arrows hit the target.

The Son of Heaven was shocked by the shooting technique that was off the spot, and couldn't help but praise: "Awesome! King Wu's subordinates are really magical! ”

King Wu was also secretly surprised, although he knew that his eye shooting skills were superb, he never imagined that it would be so magical. King Wu was stunned for a moment before returning the salute to the Son of Heaven: "The people of Wu have worked hard to defend the Son of Heaven!" ”

"Haha, good! Good! The Son of Heaven was very happy and praised again and again.

King Wu had a smile on his face, and he was overjoyed, but King Jin pursed his lips, very displeased.

Zhang Xun was also shocked by the superb archery skills that left his eyes, but the more he was surprised, the more inexplicable uneasiness in his heart became. He turned around and looked at the Yue Guo queue, but he couldn't find Fan Li.

After a few rounds, Limu won without any suspense. The Son of Heaven was overjoyed and decided to summon Limu.

King Wu was overjoyed, and secretly glanced at the crown prince Ji Zhi, and both of them smiled.

Limu was removed from his bow and arrows, searched his body, and sent to the bottom of the platform. With a pair of dead fish eyes half-open, he slowly walked to the bottom of the high platform and bowed down to the Son of Heaven.

"Reward!" The Son of Heaven was overjoyed, waved his hand to the waiter, and signaled the reward.

Limu tightened his body, and bowed to the Son of Heaven stiffly, I don't know if it was because he was too nervous, his face was very pale, and his lips were not bloody.

The Son of Heaven smiled slightly, and said approachably: "Hehe, you don't have to be nervous, Lone has always admired a warrior like you, you have to set an example for the people of the world, haha." ”

The chamberlain carried a plate of gold and walked up to Limu. On the plate was a gleaming gold dollar, but he was unmoved, not at all interested.

"Don't reward the villain."

"Oh?" The Son of Heaven was surprised and delighted, and asked, "Why?" ”

"It's useless for the villain to ask for money, the villain only likes archery, and money has no meaning for archery."

"Hehe, you can't say that." The Son of Heaven smiled and said, "With money, you can buy better bows and better arrows." ”

"No, my bow is the best bow in the world, and there is no better one. It doesn't matter what kind of arrows you have, as long as you shoot them with my bow, you can shoot a lot of branches. ”

"Oh? Your bow? What's so wonderful? ”

"Hmm...... Yes! My bow arm is made of phoenix bones, and the bowstring is made of the tendons of demon beasts. As long as it is an arrow from my bow, it will run to the bullseye on its own. ”

"Huh? How could there be such a miraculous thing? Quick, show it to Lonely! ”

Seeing that the Son of Heaven was anxious, the chamberlain hurried to retrieve the bow from the target.

King Jin glanced at King Wu and said with a smile: "Yo, phoenix bones, demon tendons, King Wu's subordinates are really powerful!" ”

"Hehe, hehe." For some reason, King Wu couldn't understand why Limu said such strange words, but at this time, he could only laugh twice with an embarrassed face.

The uneasiness in Zhang Xun's heart has reached the limit, and this kind of words can never come from the mouth of the eyes. He stared at Limu, trying to look for something unusual in his expression, but there was no expression other than his paleness.

The chamberlain took the bow to the Son of Heaven, who checked it repeatedly, but did not find anything unusual, so he asked: "This bow is just an ordinary bow, you say it is magical, what is the strange?" ”

Limu raised his eyes and said, "I'll show you." ”

The Son of Heaven nodded, and motioned for the chamberlain to take the bow to Limu.

"No!" Zhang Xun blurted out.

Everyone was attracted by this sound, and everyone looked at Zhang Xun, not knowing what he was going to do.

Zhang Xun was a little at a loss, and said, "You can't give him a bow." ”

"Why?" Tianzi asked with a smile.

"Hmm...... For the safety of the Son of Heaven. ”

"Haha, no problem, no problem. Lonely believes that the people of the world are born to defend the Zhou family, who would be suspicious of solitude? What's more, this warrior is a loyal person at first glance, and he can never think of anything wrong. Go, give him the bow. The Son of Heaven wanted to use this opportunity to show his love for the people, but after saying this, he still gave the inner servant a look.

"Whoa!" The chamberlain stepped forward and personally searched the hairpin carefully, and finally even took off the hairpin from the eye. After making sure that Limu didn't have any sharp weapons on his body, he gave the bow to Limu.

Limu took his bow, put the bow on his face with great affection, and gently kissed the unpretentious bow arm, and then he held the bow on his chest and said, "The magic is here!" ”

I saw Limu put the bow out with his left hand, and wrapped his right hand around the back of his neck, making a gesture of drawing an arrow. With a pained look on his face, and with a roar of sharp pain, he pulled out a slender iron needle from the flesh of his back. It turned out that the pale face before leaving the eyes was not because of nervousness, but because he was enduring severe pain.

It was too late, it was too soon, and Limu had already put the blood-stained iron needle on the bow, and then he pulled the bowstring and aimed at the Son of Heaven on the high platform.

Everyone was shocked, and the guards on both sides of the high platform were just about to step forward to escort the car, but they heard a shout: "Don't move!" ”

At this time, the iron needle was facing the head of the Son of Heaven, and it only took a moment to end the life of the Son of Heaven.

The Son of Heaven forced his composure, pressed his hand, and signaled everyone not to act rashly, "You...... What do you want? ”

"I want your life!"

"Why?"

"No why! You've been in the middle of the day for too long! It's time to give way! ”

"Warrior, who is your master? What he can give you, he can give you! ”

Limu didn't answer, but turned his face sideways and focused his gaze precisely on the person beside the Son of Heaven. The Son of Heaven looked at Liyan's eyes and found that Liyan's gaze was not a person, it was the little prince Ji Ren, and Ji Ren's face seemed to have an expectant look.

The situation was so dangerous that everyone held their breath and focused their attention on Limu, but they didn't know that a figure had quietly come to the high platform.

"It's useless to talk too much! Come on! ”

As soon as the words fell, the bowstring was spread out of sight, and the iron needle whistled out, but at this moment of lightning, the unnoticed figure was like lightning in front of the Son of Heaven.

In an instant, the iron needle had already shot into the figure's chest.

He laughed out loud and slammed desperately into the bottom pillar of the high platform.

Hearing only a muffled sound of "bang", the high platform was shaken, and everyone looked down the stage, only to see the corpse that left their eyes.

The Son of Heaven came to his senses, and he hurriedly crouched down to hold the man who was blocking the arrows for him, and when he saw the man's face clearly, his heart trembled.

The Son of Heaven trembled and said, "You...... You are ......"

"Father...... Father......

"Are you...... You're a politician...... Zheng'er? ”

Ji Zheng nodded, grabbed the sleeve of the Son of Heaven, and said with difficulty: "Father, the child is too late to save the car, and the father is frightened......"

"It's not too late...... It's not too late......" Tears flowed from the corners of the Son of Heaven's eyes, he looked at Ji Zheng kindly, distressed, "It's my father's fault, I've made you suffer all these years, it's good for you to come back, it's good to come back......"

"Father...... It's okay if my father is fine......" After saying this, Ji Zheng fainted.

The Son of Heaven hugged Ji Zheng and shouted, "Imperial Doctor! Where is the Imperial Doctor?! ”

The imperial doctor hurriedly ran to the high platform and immediately took Ji Zheng's pulse.

The Son of Heaven commanded, "Save my king!" Must! ”

Half an hour later, King Wu angrily broke into the camp of the crown prince Ji Zhi and scolded: "Ji Zhi! What the hell are you doing! ”

Ji Zhi smiled and didn't say anything, just raised his hand and motioned for King Wu to sit down.

King Wu was furious, stood in front of Ji Zhi and continued to shout: "You asked me to propose the competition, and said that Fan Li could give me the winner of the competition, but the result!" It turned out to be an assassin for me?! And also! Fan Li! Where is he! ”

"They left two hours ago."

"Tomorrow is the ceremony of sacrificing to the sky, and the people of Yue are leaving at this time?! You tell me! What kind of medicine are you selling in this gourd! Say! ”

"Hehe, King Wu is not in a hurry."

"Don't worry?! Now everyone in the world knows that the Wu State shooter intends to assassinate the Son of Heaven! Damn it! That dead fisheye is obviously a Yue Guoren! How do I defend myself now?! Hateful! Hateful! ”

"King Wu, all this is for your good."

"Good for me?! Don't talk nonsense! I don't even know how to face the Son of Heaven now! ”

"Hehe, just because an Assassin is from a country doesn't mean he serves the monarch of that country. Rest assured, the Son of Heaven will not blame you. ”

"Humph! How not?! ”

Ji Zhi stood up, walked to King Wu's side, and said calmly: "Let's imagine that if you are the Son of Heaven and someone wants to assassinate you now, who do you think will instigate?" ”

"How do I know! Hum! ”

"King Wu, there is no point in being angry, think about it, it's good for you."

King Wu gasped, and after a while, he said angrily: "The assassin must be to achieve his master's purpose, so the death of the Son of Heaven must be beneficial to someone." ”

"Well, that's right." Ji Zhi smiled and nodded, he patted King Wu on the shoulder, and continued: "And then, who is the most beneficial to the death of the Son of Heaven?" ”

"The one who thinks about the Son of Heaven ......"

"Haha, yes, people who want to be the son of heaven." Ji Zhi laughed, and then asked calmly, "Is it me?" King Wu, do you think it will be me? ”

"No...... It's not you, everyone in the world knows that your end is coming. ”

"That's right, I won't live long, and the position of this prince has always been reserved for the prince."

King Wu suddenly realized: "The Son of Heaven will think that the person who wants to assassinate him is Ji Ren!" ”

"That's right, once his father decides so, he will inevitably feel guilty, and then become defensive against Ji Ren's uncle, King Jin. In this way, my father, who has always pursued checks and balances, will give you the position of overlord. King Wu, don't worry, I guarantee that this overlord position must be yours! ”

Hearing this, King Wu's anger dissipated half, and a smile appeared on his face. However, he suddenly realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly restrained his smile and said, "No, no, you have confused me." ”

"Oh? What's wrong? ”

"It's all up to you! Although the Son of Heaven will think that it is Prince Ji Ren who wants to kill him, in fact, you are the one who wants to kill him! All actions are ultimately aimed at achieving your goals! ”

"Haha! Ha ha! King Wu, don't talk nonsense if you don't have evidence. ”

"The competition was proposed by you, and the person was also recommended to me by you, and the reason why he assassinated must have been in your plan, and what's even stranger is that the dead fish's eye shooting skills are so superb that he will miss in the end? How did Ji Zheng appear? He is actually the son of the Son of Heaven? Oh, I see, it's all a well-planned ploy! I'm just a pawn to be used by you! Everything that happened today is your conspiracy! The purpose is to make Ji Zheng appear gorgeously in front of the princes of the world, and then help Ji Zheng compete for the position of the Son of Heaven! Right?! ”

"Haha, haha! Wu Wang is really good at talking nonsense and slandering people, which is also relatable. But King Wu don't forget, I'm still the crown prince of Zhou, if King Wu doesn't want this overlord, I can help. ”

"Humph! You owe me the position of overlord! ”

"Hehe, sort of, then I will promise you, tomorrow's overlord will be yours!"

"Humph!"

King Wu knew that he had reached a consensus of interests with Ji Zhi, so he didn't say anything more, threw up his sleeves and prepared to leave.

When King Wu walked to the door of the tent, Ji Zhi's voice came from behind him, "King Wu, tomorrow is the grand ceremony of sacrificing to the sky, or everything is business as usual, rest assured, everything that happened today will not have any impact." ”

King Wu didn't look back, threw up the curtain and left Ji Zhi's tent.
