Chapter 194 How confident are you about this arrow?
Lu Huai nodded, quickened his pace, and walked right in front of Lin Zhiqing.
The two of them had not walked far when they met Lin Shian and Lin Yangyang who were riding horses.
At the same time, Jiang Liuyun also turned back.
He was pretending to escape, and when he saw that the time was almost up, he naturally came back.
Time was urgent, so Lin Zhiqing asked about Jiang Liuyun's injuries. Seeing that he was basically fine, he told him the general plan for the future.
After understanding Lin Zhiqing's meaning, Lin Shian picked up all the people sleeping on the ground like chickens and threw them into the carriage.
Then, Lin Yangyang took Lin Zhiqing, and Lin Shian took Lu Huai and Jiang Liuyun, and the two horses galloped away.
Under Lu Huai's guidance, several people took a shortcut, got a pair of bows and arrows, and quickly surpassed Liu Mang.
When they reached a dead end, they simply abandoned their horses.
Soon, they arrived at the back of a shop.
Compared with other shops, this place is slightly shorter and sunken, making it very hidden.
At the same time, there is a terrace that can accommodate one person, which is just right for implementing the plan of shooting arrows.
Lin Yangyang drew his bow and arrow and was about to go up to the terrace.
"Wait." Lin Zhiqing stopped her: "Cousin, there is still some time, no rush."
Amidst everyone's puzzled gazes, Lin Zhiqing looked at Lu Huai:
"Is Nanyue at the execution ground?"
"That's right." Lu Huai nodded, and then added: "She hasn't dared to show up yet, for fear of disturbing Liu Mang and ruining the plan."
After receiving the response, Lin Zhiqing looked at Lin Yangyang and said, "Cousin, you are the fastest. You must bring the child and Nanyue back. I, Jiang Shizi, and my cousin will keep an eye on this place."
"No problem." Lin Yangyang simply jumped off the terrace, touched the ground with her toes, and instantly rushed towards the entrance of the vegetable market.
Lu Huai watched her walk away with a serious expression.
Jiang Liuyun, who was standing by, took the bow and arrow and was about to go up to the terrace, but was stopped by Lin Zhiqing:
"Your old injury hasn't healed yet, let your cousin come."
Jiang Liuyun was stunned. He sensed Lin Zhiqing's worry and his eyes showed some warmth. "It's okay, Qing'er. This little injury can't do anything to me."
"No." Lin Zhiqing shook his head decisively.
Lu Huai also nodded: "Brother Jiang, your injury is serious."
"In that case, let Brother Shi'an come." Jiang Liuyun did not insist any longer.
"Yeah." Lin Zhiqing's expression was very firm.
First of all, she was indeed worried about Jiang Liuyun's injury.
Secondly, this is the last checkpoint, and we must ensure that there are no mistakes.
The best candidate in her mind is actually Lin Yangyang, but when Lin Yangyang comes back, someone will also need to stand guard to deal with special situations.
But Lin Shian looked embarrassed: "Zhiqing, I'm not really proficient in archery. If I mess up, it will be troublesome."
Hearing this, Lin Zhiqing looked at Jiang Liuyun and said, "In that case, it's better for you to go first, Prince Jiang. You must pay attention to your injuries."
She said this very bluntly.
Because Lin Shian was thinking of retreating, even if he was allowed to take over, factors such as tension and anxiety would be magnified, and hesitation would lead to defeat.
"Don't worry." Jiang Liuyun quickly went up to the terrace and stared into the distance motionlessly.
Lu Huai tapped the railing with his hands and counted silently.
When he had knocked two hundred times, he became anxious and looked at Lin Zhiqing and said:
"Liu Mang is almost here, why hasn't Miss Lin come back yet?"
"Wait a little longer." Lin Zhiqing sighed softly, "It will take some time to find a child, but I trust my cousin."
"I believe in my sister too." Lin Shian clenched his fists.
Seeing this, Lu Huai nodded and continued counting.
After knocking dozens more times, Lin Yangyang still didn't show up, so Lu Huai spoke again: "Liu Mang will be here in ten steps!"
There was a stern look in his eyes.
Hearing this, Lin Shian clenched his bow and arrow.
Lin Zhiqing closed his eyes, pinched the bridge of his nose, and then looked at Jiang Liuyun: "Prince Jiang, how confident are you of this arrow?"
"100%!" Jiang Liuyun's eyes were very firm.
"In this case, we all trust you. There is no need to hit the vital points. Intimidation is the main focus." Lin Zhiqing's emotional value was not lost at all.
Jiang Liuyun took a deep breath, drew his bow and arrow, and looked straight ahead.
Along with the deliberately suppressed breathing of several people, the sound of horse hooves also gradually became clearer.
Then, a fast-moving figure gradually appeared, approaching the position in front of them.
A thin layer of sweat appeared on Jiang Liuyun's forehead. He pursed his lips tightly and his arms trembled slightly.
The pain in my arm became more and more severe.
Just as they were holding their breath, the sound of footsteps mixed with gasps came from the side.
"Sister Qing, I'm here!" Lin Yangyang's voice was very urgent.
Before Lin Zhiqing could speak, Lu Huai raised his voice: "Liu Mang is here!"
In an instant, Jiang Liuyun narrowed one eye, pulled the bowstring to its full extent, and aimed at the moving figure.
He has made up his mind.
"call out!"
The arrow cut through the sky like lightning, and then quickly rushed towards Liu Mang.
It drew a graceful arc in the air, touching everyone's heart.
Lin Zhiqing leaned forward slightly, staring at the arrow intently.
Five meters!
Three meters!
One meter!
Now is the time!
The arrow seemed to slow down automatically in her eyes, and the cold light swept away, as fast as lightning, shooting straight at Liu Mang...
No!
Didn't hit!
The arrow flew over Liu Mang and disappeared into the air, leaving no trace.
The sound of horse hooves passed by relentlessly and became farther and farther away.
Lin Zhiqing frowned slightly.
"This...how is this possible!" Jiang Liuyun grabbed the railing fiercely, and he couldn't even feel the pain in his shoulder.
"It's over." Lin Shi'an muttered to himself, his tone filled with sorrow: "Fourth Uncle..."
Lu Huai's eyes narrowed and his eyebrows raised.
Lin Yangyang and Lu Nanyue were standing not far away, holding a child of six or seven years old in their hands.
The child's eyes were confused, but he also felt the heaviness of the atmosphere and subconsciously leaned towards Lu Nanyue.
"Sister Qing, what should we do now?" Lin Yangyang was a little anxious.
Lin Zhiqing didn't reply for a moment, she was still thinking.
Lin Shian couldn't help but say, "Let's submit the evidence again. Someone will know that Fourth Uncle is innocent!"
No one replied.
Everyone knows it clearly. What's the point of being innocent? The beheading will come.
Jiang Liuyun, who was standing by, was completely consumed by self-blame. He was eager to remedy all this:
"Qing'er, I'm going to arrest Liu Mang right now. If I torture him severely, I'll definitely make him confess what he did!"
"Yes, you can, of course you can! I'll go catch him right now!" With that, Lin Yangyang turned around and was about to leave.
"etc!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Zhiqing was stunned.
Because she not only heard her own voice, but also heard... Lu Huai's voice.
The same goes for Lu Huai.
Their eyes met quickly.
Lin Zhiqing instantly caught the light that burst out of Lu Huai's eyes.
His expression was gentle, and he was so quiet that he shocked everyone with his words: "There is another way."
