"Xiao Nuo!"

"Xiao Nuo, how are you? Did they bully you?!"

Zhao Cheng struggled against his bound body and shouted at Zhou Nuo, but Zhou Nuo remained indifferent and unmoved by Zhao Cheng's cries.

Yang Qingzhi looked at Zhao Cheng and Zhou Nuo alternately, then stood up excitedly and said, "Zhou Nuo, I've given you the opportunity, seize it yourself!"

"Opportunity? What opportunity?" Zhao Cheng asked suspiciously, "Yang Qingzhi, what are you up to?"

Yang Qingzhi laughed and said, "You told me to take good care of Zhou Nuo, and I'm taking care of her right now! Zhou Nuo, is 200 meters enough? Why don't you move a little closer?"

Zhou Nuo ignored Yang Qingzhi and did not take another step forward. He tightened his grip on the bow, slowly raised his head, and nocked the bowstring.

Seeing this, Zuo Zhu instinctively stood in front of Yang Qingzhi to prevent Zhou Nuo from shooting arrows in their direction.

Hiding behind Zuo Zhu, Yang Qingzhi said, "I remember now, you are a sharpshooter who can hit a copper core from two hundred paces away, and the first female instructor of Da Jing. How could you possibly miss?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Cheng understood and looked at Zhou Nuo, saying, "Xiao Nuo, are you going to kill me?"

Zhou Nuo then answered, saying, "I came to Yun Jing to kill you."

Zhao Cheng asked, "Why?"

Zhou Nuo gritted his teeth and said sharply, "Were all the things you said to me in the cave in Lingshan Mountain, and the things the Right Prime Minister said to me in the Prime Minister's residence, just bullshit?!"

Zhao Cheng shook his head and sighed, "Some things are beyond our control... Never mind, explaining is pointless. If killing me will make you feel better, then shoot!"

"Do you think I'll soften my heart just because you said those things? Zhao Cheng, I will kill you today!" Zhou Nuo drew the bowstring taut.

Seeing this, Zuo Zhu said softly, "Little Commander, something's not right. Zhou Nuo seems to really hate Zhao Cheng."

“It’s all an act,” Yang Qingzhi said dismissively. “I’d like to see how she gets out of this.”

As he spoke, Yang Qingzhi looked around again and said, "I have already deployed experts around here. Even if she shoots arrows and kills all the soldiers here, she will not be able to save Zhao Cheng."

Zuo Zhu nodded and said, "Little Commander, be careful and hide behind me."

Yang Qingzhi said, "If she shoots an arrow at me, I will kill her on the spot."

"clear."

As the two were talking, Zhou Nuo, who was in the audience, had already drawn his bow to its fullest extent, his eyes filled with hatred.

Without any pause, the arrow was released from the bow.

Whoosh!

Zhao Cheng closed his eyes, feeling the familiar sound of wind breaking through the air.

This time, however, the sound of wind breaking through the air brought not salvation, but slaughter.

puff!

The sound of arrows piercing flesh rang in Zhao Cheng's ears; it was the first time he had tasted the power of Zhou Nuo's arrows.

Before I could even cry out, my vision blurred and everything went black.

Seeing this, Yang Qingzhi and Zuo Zhu were both terrified.

"Holy crap, you actually ejaculated?!"

Yang Qingzhi jumped up, threw the cat aside, and ran quickly towards Zhao Cheng, pointing at Zhou Nuo and shouting, "Take her down! Take her down!!"

Zhou Nuo did not resist at all, allowing the Southern Zhou soldiers to hold him down.

Looking at Zhao Cheng, who was slumped over and unconscious, and at the wound above his left chest where an arrow had pierced him, Yang Qingzhi felt a chill run down his spine; the sight was horrifying.

"This guy can't die!"

Yang Qingzhi shouted frantically, "Zuo Zhu, quick! Call a doctor!!!"

...

Yang Qingzhi, who was usually mature beyond his years, was truly terrified. He had never expected that Zhou Nuo would actually shoot an arrow at Zhao Cheng.

At a distance of two hundred meters, the shot accurately struck Zhao Cheng's body.

You dare say this is showing mercy?

This is utter hatred!

Looking at the unconscious Zhao Cheng, and then at the doctors bustling around him, Yang Qingzhi supported his forehead with his hand, feeling like he wanted to die.

What's going on?

Aren't Zhao Cheng and Zhou Nuo in love?

Has it turned into a love-hate relationship?

What a load of bullshit love!!

Yang Qingzhi felt his face burning as he thought about it. He was determined to see what tricks Zhou Nuo would pull, and he wanted to see how Zhou Nuo would break the deadlock and how embarrassed he would be when he couldn't handle the situation.

But unexpectedly,

The clown was myself.

"Save him! You must save him!" Yang Qingzhi roared from the side.

An elderly doctor walked over and said, "Young Commander, he is wearing precious armor."

Yang Qingzhi took a deep breath, stood up abruptly, and immediately understood why Zhou Nuo dared to fire the arrow.

It turned out they knew Zhao Cheng was wearing a magical armor.

So that's what they were up to!

The doctor handed the Thorn-Scale Armor to Yang Qingzhi and said, "However, the armor's protective range is not large, and this arrow did not hit the armor."

Yang Qingzhi: "..."

"Can you just finish your sentence at once!" Yang Qingzhi took the Thorn-Scaled Armor, but had no interest in appreciating the treasure. He asked, "So, can it save him or not?!"

"Give us some more time."

"Hurry up and save them!"

The doctor, not daring to provoke bad luck, gratefully returned to Zhao Cheng's side.

"Keep it with you for now!" Yang Qingzhi handed the Thorn-Scaled Armor to Zuo Zhu and paced back and forth in the room, completely losing his appetite for petting the cat.

Growing increasingly frustrated, Yang Qingzhi impulsively slammed the door shut and strode towards the place where Zhou Nuo was imprisoned.

Zhou Nuo was tied to a pillar in the room, just like before. After Yang Qingzhi entered, he picked up the Thorn-Scale Armor and asked, "You knew Zhao Cheng was wearing this, so you dared to shoot arrows at him, right?"

Zhou Nuo looked at the Thorn-Scale Armor, genuinely unaware of what it was, and sneered, "I was aiming at Zhao Cheng's head, intending to blow it off, but I've been tied up for a few days and my condition isn't good, which affected my accuracy."

Yang Qingzhi tossed the Thorn-Scaled Armor to Zuo Zhu and said, "What grudge or enmity could lead to this?"

Zhou Nuo asked doubtfully, "He's not dead?"

"I don't know!" Yang Qingzhi said irritably, "Anyway, he hasn't woken up yet!"

"Sigh..." Zhou Nuo sighed.

Yang Qingzhi asked in confusion, "Why are you sighing?"

Zhou Nuo said, "We should ask you for some poison, put some poison on the arrowhead, and he won't survive."

Yang Qingzhi: "..."

"You heartless woman!" Yang Qingzhi pointed at Zhou Nuo and cursed, "How could you be so cruel to Zhao Cheng?!"

Zhou Nuo said, "What? Don't you want him to die? If you don't want him to die, why did you give me this opportunity?"

"I..." Yang Qingzhi choked for a moment, then said urgently, "In short, you're a vicious woman!"

Zhou Nuo looked at Zuo Zhu, then at Yang Qingzhi, and asked suspiciously, "You don't think I didn't want to kill him, so you're just giving me this chance on purpose, do you?"

Yang Qingzhi changed the subject, saying, "I really don't understand you. If you don't love someone anymore, you just don't love them anymore. Why kill someone?"

Zhou Nuo laughed sarcastically, "Yang Qingzhi, you've never been in a relationship, have you?"

Yang Qingzhi said, "Why waste time on arranged marriages?"

“What a boring life,” Zhou Nuo said, closing his eyes. “I pity you.”

"you!"

Yang Qingzhi slammed the door shut and stormed out, shouting, "Madman! I have nothing to say to you!!"
