346 Bet

This was because Lin Xia was an example. They heard that after being scolded by the crown prince, Lin Xia couldn’t stand the loneliness and found another man. The outcome was obvious… However, as long as it was a normal person, it was impossible for them to do such a thing in that situation. Therefore, someone must have done something, but who dared to investigate? Everyone suspected that it was Qiao Yanhui.

They heard that the fourth consort had a bad fall last night and her limbs were broken. Now, she was barely unrecognizable. No matter how stupid they were, they could tell that this was definitely not an accident.

Xu Qing noticed that the woman beside her was trembling badly, so she was a little puzzled. “Are you guys very cold?”

Those women shook their heads, but then they nodded. They couldn’t say that they were frightened, so they could only grit their teeth and say that they were cold.

Xu Qing looked at the sun above her head and said, “If it’s cold, wear more clothes!”

!!

“Yes, yes…”

Xu Qing thought, “Geez, she’s so cold that she’s stuttering.”

Xu Qing couldn’t be bothered with these people. She stared forward attentively because the competition was about to begin.

Xue’er was also very excited. She pulled Ting’er as she shouted, “Brother, go!”

After the competition started, everyone drew their bows. Then, a swirl of arrows flew towards the target.

However, the arrows in Qiao Yanhui and Ting’er’s hands weren’t released yet. They didn’t seem to be in a hurry at all, as if they weren’t afraid of being the last. One had to know that if they exceeded the time limit, they would lose as well.

When everyone shot the second arrow, Qiao Yanhui drew his bow, nocked two arrows, and shot them out together. The arrows were like a magnificent army, and wherever they passed, the arrows fell like feathers.

“Yuan’er, I’ll cover you!” Ao Jie shouted at Yuan’er. Then, the two of them drew their bows at the same time and shot out two arrows at the same time. Ao Jie’s long arrow wrapped around Yuan’er’s short arrow and followed behind Qiao Yanhui’s arrow closely.

Of Qiao Yanhui’s two arrows, one was used to open a path, while the other went straight for the bullseye. The other arrows fell to the ground and it was apparent how powerful Qiao Yanhui’s arrow was. Although this match was a competition in archery, it was also a competition of internal energy.

In the end, Qiao Yanhui’s arrow pierced the center of the target.

The people who were also shooting looked at Qiao Yanhui in horror. He had struck down all their arrows with just one arrow. Was he even human? However, because of the time limit, they hurriedly shot the last arrow. However, because they were intimidated and flustered by Qiao Yanhui, they couldn’t maintain their composure and their arrows were struck down by Yuan’er and Ao Jie.

Only then did Qiao Yanhui draw his bow and shoot the last arrow. However, this arrow wasn’t aimed at the bullseye, but at all the arrows shot by those people. This was because it was enough as long as one arrow hit the bullseye.

Qiao Yanhui cleared the way for Yuan’er, but the center was already occupied by Qiao Yanhui.

Qiao Yanhui raised his eyebrows at Yuan’er, making Yuan’er so angry that he almost flew into a rage.

“Uncle, let me borrow your shoulder,” Yuan’er said in a low voice. Before Ao Jie could respond, Yuan’er had already jumped up. His gaze was fixed on the long arrow in the center of the target. His expression was firm as he nocked the last arrow. Then, he gathered his internal energy and pulled hard with his small hand. In the end, he successfully shot out the arrow. However, this wasn’t the end. Yuan’er said to Deng Jiangming, “Uncle Deng, shoot at my arrow tail!”

Deng Jiangming was a little stunned. When he saw Yuan’er’s serious gaze, he turned around solemnly and drew his bow. He couldn’t help but admire Yuan’er for wanting to challenge Qiao Yanhui. In that case… he had to help.

Yuan’er’s arrow might barely hit the target, but it was impossible for him to surpass Qiao Yanhui. If he wanted to surpass him, he had to shoot Qiao Yanhui’s arrow out of the target and let his arrow stay on the target! However, he wasn’t strong enough and had to borrow the strength of others. That was why he asked Deng Jiangming to help. Although Deng Jiangming’s internal energy wasn’t as powerful as Qiao Yanhui’s, Deng Jiangming’s accuracy was impressive. After all, he was the number one concealed weapon master.

Yuan’er was betting on luck. He was betting that Deng Jiangming could bring his arrow over at an even faster speed, but that also depended on the direction of the wind and friction. Otherwise, his arrow would deviate and there was no way to hit the tail of Qiao Yanhui’s arrow.

Qiao Yanhui looked at his eldest son with pride. As expected of his son. He was indeed very capable and smart. He remained calm even when faced with a sudden change in the situation. However, the gamble was a little risky.

As everyone stared at Yuan’er’s arrow that kept moving forward, they tried to guess the final outcome.

Even Xu Qing was nervous. Xue’er grabbed Ting’er’s hand with a worried expression, but Ting’er smirked. According to his precise calculation, Yuan’er’s arrow had a high chance of hitting Qiao Yanhui’s arrow
