Chapter 25: This is also a coincidence
Human meat target.
Zheng Shuwei's little face was already pale, and Su Qiang's eyes were cold.
She knows how to play.
Daihiro once exchanged prisoners after a war with the Turks, and the soldiers who survived were covered in blood and almost dying. Their eyes were full of resentment, saying that the Turks were using them as human targets to practice arrows.
This kind of trick that others will only use to humiliate their own country, but I didn't expect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to use it when he didn't care about it.
Isn't this shameless?
The regent Li Zhang's expression was also quite unnatural, he glanced at the trembling attendant who was carried to the center of the school yard and tied to a wooden stake, and said: "Dahong has a law, don't abuse domestic servants, isn't it good for us to do this." If it is known by the official, it is indispensable to refer to the previous one. ”
Li Cong was indifferent. The guard behind him stepped forward and knelt down on one knee and said, "His Royal Highness the Regent doesn't know that these two chamberlains are the spies of the East Palace that were found yesterday. Dahong has a law, and there is no forgiveness for the slave who betrays the master. ”
"Since it is a spy who has been found, should it be handed over to Zongzheng Mansion for settlement." Li Zhang said.
Li Cong waved his hand at this time, and said with a faint expression: "Don't be so troublesome." ”
The chamberlain, who was tied to the pillar, had apparently heard the conversation and was crying out for injustice. As soon as the words fell, a bunch of things were thrown around them, and it turned out that the guards directly threw the letters and seals that had been searched and found out beside them.
The evidence seems to be conclusive. The two of them didn't speak, only gasping for heat, and there was a faint smell of urine in the air, which turned out to be incontinent.
"Don't be afraid," Li Cong said coldly: "You have no value to others, and no one will come to save you." As for Hongu, I don't want to ask anything from you. The crown princess and the county lord are in a good mood today, if they shoot any of you, which one of them can be released from the palace and left to fend for themselves. If you can't shoot, you will be handed over to Zongzheng Mansion for punishment, and it has nothing to do with the East Palace. ”
Shoot them.
The level of archery between the crown princess and Zheng Shuwei they had just seen, such a big arrow target almost missed the target, and now shooting the two of them alive, the man is trembling, and it is hard to say whether the woman can pick up the arrow.
The faces of the two chamberlains were as desperate as death, staring at the crown princess and the county lord of Hewei with wide eyes. Please, you must shoot.
I didn't think about shooting in the head or dying.
Zheng Shu looked at Su Qiang with a bow and arrow, and said timidly: "Sister-in-law......"
Su Qiang pursed her lips and sneered: "You heard the words of His Royal Highness the Prince, now that we have been shot, we have given these two people a way to live, which is not a killing."
"I know, but ......," Zheng Shu muttered slightly, obviously not expecting the easy arrow to become a live target.
"What, scared?" The corners of Li Cong's mouth curled to look at Zheng Shu and said slightly: "Otherwise, forget this game, just send them to Zongzheng Mansion." ”
As soon as the words fell, the two people tied to the pillar began to cry: "Your Highness! Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess! Slaves, please, please leave a way for your minions to live. ”
Beads of sweat the size of beans dripped from their foreheads, and they could not be wiped because their hands and feet were tied. After a long time, the sweat almost fascinates the eyes.
Zheng Shuwei didn't care about the life and death of these people in his heart, but just pretended to be a girl's compassion in front of the prince. Hearing that Su Qiang said that she was doing a good deed, and seeing those attendants begging her, she slowly raised her bow and arrows.
If she misses, she is a good archer and saves people. If she misses, it is because she is soft-hearted and cannot bear to shoot a living person.
The living target was closer than the previous futon arrow target, and Zheng Shuwei aimed at it seriously for a long time, and his face was slightly red before he let go of the arrow.
The attendants and palace maids who were watching around exclaimed in unison, and they all breathed a sigh of relief, and then they couldn't help but hang their hearts.
The two live targets were clean and uninjured.
It's off target.
In other words, no matter whether the crown princess is shot or not, one of the two of them will be sent to Zongzheng Mansion to be tortured and will die.
Zheng Shu sighed slightly and glanced at Li Cong innocently.
Li Cong's gaze was on Su Qiang's side.
And Su Qiang, frowning slightly, lifted the bow and arrow in the nervous silence of everyone.
She lifted the bow, the arrow was full of bowstrings, and suddenly turned her head to look at Li Cong and said, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, the concubine really has no score in her heart, do you really want to do this?" ”
Li Cong's eyes were bottomless, and he leaned slightly closer and said, "Do you need this palace to help you hold the bow and arrow to aim?" ”
If he takes aim, an arrow will kill him.
Su Qiang turned her head, the light in her eyes under Xiao Shan's eyebrows condensed, and her fingers pressed a little the arrow.
With a bang, the arrow left the string, which was lower than the ordinary sound of archery, faintly like a golden iron horse passing through the formation.
"Hit!" There were shouts from the crowd, followed by the sound of a living target crying in pain.
"Which one did you shoot?" The palace maid who couldn't squeeze in front asked curiously.
"This one on the left!" Someone responded.
"No, the one on the right!" Someone retorted.
Li Cong's eyes were as calm as a deep pool, like a fish jumping from a high altitude, stirring up a layer of waves.
Both live targets were indeed hit.
One is the left arm and the other is the right arm.
The wound did not die, and another life was recovered.
The arrows shot by Su Qiang split from the middle at the moment of disconnection, and they hit different live targets.
"How is this possible!" The first to speak was Li Zhang, who walked over quickly, followed by Li Lang, the third prince who was running like a whirlwind.
I saw him pull the arrow out of the arm of one of the chamberlains and examine it carefully.
"This one is thinner, with the shaft and feather split, and there is no arrow."
He pulled out another one and exclaimed, "The arrow is on this one." Saying that, he looked at Su Qiang and said, "Could it be that Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess has the help of gods and men?" ”
"The princess and sister-in-law are really amazing!" Li Lang's eyes widened and he applauded happily.
Except for Li Cong and Zheng Shuwei, the rest of the people looked at Su Qiang with reverence, thinking that she was a god.
Su Qiang looked ignorant, tilted her head and looked at the live target who was overjoyed despite being hit by the arrow, and said confusedly: "The concubine doesn't know what's wrong, it's a coincidence." As he spoke, he looked at Li Cong again, and said with a serious expression: "In this case, does it count as a concubine winning?" ”
"Count." This word was almost squeezed out of between Li Cong's teeth.
Su Qiang felt funny in her heart, and she really smiled on her face.
It turned out that there were many things that she used to think were just funny, but they were still useful in her long and difficult life.
was happy in his heart, Li Cong had already taken a few steps closer to her, leaned down, and said word by word: "It seems that the crown princess's invitation tonight, the palace must arrive." Remember to wash yourself ......"
Su Qiang raised her head, Li Cong had already straightened her clothes and took the arrow from Li Zhang's hand. And Zheng Shuwei behind him, with a terrifying blushing face.
