Chapter 1284 This arrow is bound to miss!
Seeing that there were only two riders left ahead, completely isolated and helpless, like two pieces of fish lying on a chopping board waiting to be slaughtered by him, Yuwen Cheng galloped away, grinning. Under the blood-red sunset, his smile seemed to be stained with a strong bloody smell.
By killing these two people, his plan would be completely unknown to anyone.
Once he's killed... he will be the greatest hero in suppressing this rebellion!
Thinking of this, Yuwen Cheng let out a cold laugh and said to the archers beside him who had cleared the obstacles in front of him, "Shoot again!"
The man immediately asked, "Your Highness, who are you going to kill next?"
Yuwen Cheng squinted at the two figures riding swiftly ahead, one after the other, and said coldly, "Of course it's Shang Ruyi."
"..."
"Kill my sister-in-law first!"
"..."
"I'd really like to see if I could bring her head to my second brother's door. If he lost this woman, would he still be as upright and fearless as before?"
For some reason, although as an archer I had fought countless battles and witnessed many bloody scenes, hearing Yuwen Cheng's seemingly mocking words sent a chill down my spine.
The archer shuddered.
Yuwen Cheng immediately turned and glared at him: "Aren't you going to make a move?!"
"Oh, yes, yes!"
The archer suddenly came to his senses and, not daring to be careless, hurriedly reached into the quiver behind him, where he found two arrows.
He immediately drew one of the arrows, skillfully nocked it, and placed his fingertips steadily on the bowstring, which was drawn to its fullest extent. The arrowhead flashed with a cold light, and he aimed it at the thin, slender figure in front of him.
But just as he was about to aim at that figure, a figure suddenly flashed past and blocked his way!
The archer was startled and looked up to see Xiao Yuansui riding up behind Shang Ruyi. There was still a distance of more than ten feet between them, but he didn't seem to be in a hurry to catch up. Instead, he rode his horse slowly, maintaining this distance from Shang Ruyi.
But just barely, he formed a straight line with the two people in front and behind him, blocking their way in the middle.
The archer immediately said, "Your Highness, Xiao Yuansui has blocked the Princess Consort of Qin!"
"What?!"
Yuwen Cheng frowned and looked up. Sure enough, he saw Xiao Yuansui riding in front of them. His tall figure and the already strong horse completely blocked Shang Ruyi's back. If they wanted to shoot Shang Ruyi, they had to make him fall first!
A cold sweat flashed in Yuwen Cheng's eyes, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "Since you've chosen to die, do you think I won't let you die?"
After saying that, he ordered, "Then kill him first!"
"yes!"
The archer breathed a sigh of relief, half-closed his eyes again, drew his bow, and aimed at Xiao Yuansui in front of him. He was tall and burly, and even though he was riding a horse at full speed and his movements were unpredictable, he was still much easier to aim than Shang Ruyi, who was farther away and had a more slender figure. In no time, the tip of his arrow was aimed at the back of the man's head. With just one arrow, he would surely cause his brains to splatter and his head to be separated from his body!
Just as the archer was full of confidence and about to release the arrow, Xiao Yuansui suddenly turned his head to look at him!
His gaze was as sharp and cold as ever, even colder and more piercing than the arrow tip in the archer's hand. Being looked at by such a gaze felt as if one's soul was pierced. The archer's fingertips suddenly trembled, and the arrow flew out immediately!
Oh no!
He let out a low cry in his heart, and then saw a bolt of lightning suddenly fly out, shooting towards the back of Xiao Yuansui's head. But the other party was already prepared. The moment the arrow flew over, he turned to the side, stretched out his long arm, and the horizontal sword in his hand drew a bright silver arc in the air.
With a clang, the arrow was cleaved in two from behind him!
Upon seeing this, Yuwen Cheng's face immediately darkened.
The archer was also greatly alarmed and hurriedly said to Yuwen Cheng, "Your Highness, please forgive me, this humble general—"
"Useless thing!"
Yuwen Cheng gritted his teeth and spat out those words, but immediately a sinister smile appeared on his face. Looking at Xiao Yuansui, who had turned around and continued riding forward, he suddenly shouted, "Second sister-in-law, this man is not ordinary to you!"
"..."
"Did he storm Chang'an for you?"
"..."
"If that's the case, I won't let you off easily!"
These shouts echoed back and forth on the empty imperial horse road, immediately reaching Shang Ruyi's ears.
Although she didn't turn around, she vaguely guessed what had happened from the sound behind her. But at this moment, she had no way to turn around or say anything more, so she just continued to urge her horse forward with all her might.
Yuwen Cheng shouted, "Second Sister-in-law, I'm going to shoot the second arrow. If he can still block it—"
He didn't finish his sentence.
In fact, there was no need to finish speaking, because regardless of whether Xiao Yuansui could block the second arrow, he still had so many people following him. No matter what, Yuwen Cheng would not allow him to leave this imperial horse road alive. As long as he completed the task of "rebellion" and let everyone see that Shang Ruyi "colluded" with him, that would be enough!
Yuwen Cheng also believed that this statement was enough to intimidate those in front of him.
So, his face darkened, and he glared at the archer beside him: "If this arrow misses again, I'll tie up your entire clan and put them on this imperial horse road, and let the whole archer battalion use them as targets!"
Upon hearing this, the archer broke out in a cold sweat. He quickly responded, then pulled the last arrow from his quiver, took a deep breath, and slowly drew his bow.
He had practiced this set of movements countless times before, so familiar with them that they were as natural as his breathing and heartbeat. But at this moment, every movement felt strangely unfamiliar to him. Especially when he drew back the bowstring and the arrow was aimed at Xiao Yuansui's back again, he didn't release the arrow immediately. Instead, he listened to his own breathing and heartbeat echoing incessantly, shaking his soul like muffled thunder.
Yuwen Cheng couldn't wait any longer and shouted at him, "Why haven't you ejaculated yet?!"
"ah?"
Upon hearing this, the archer finally released his grip!
Another piercing screech, with the speed and sharpness of cutting through the air, shot forward, but in that instant, the archer's vision was completely dark.
He knew that this arrow was bound to miss!
Because the force of this arrow was even lighter than the arrow that was aimed at the back of Xiao Yuansui's head. He was able to easily cut the arrow in mid-air, so blocking this arrow would be a piece of cake for him!
Just as despair was engulfing the archer like a dark shadow, a low cry suddenly came from ahead.
Xiao Yuansui froze on the horse.
The arrow pierced right into his back!
