Chapter 240 The truth about death in the previous life
Xiao Jinxuan drew the bow, but the arrow was not shot out.
Xiao Bicheng, looking at this scene, was not surprised at all.
Sometimes he thought that his seventeenth uncle really didn't look like a member of the royal family.
Everyone in the royal family is cruel and ruthless.
Unlike him, even though he has been on the battlefield and killed people, he still has a soft and kind heart.
They are obviously people who have nothing to do with him, so why should he be so merciful?
However, it was thanks to this that I was able to win so easily.
Xiao Bicheng raised his hand and signaled Xu Yi to shoot the arrow.
If his seventeenth uncle sees the arrow shattering the eggs and piercing the little maid's throat, with blood spurting out, he will probably be even more afraid to shoot, right?
Xu Yi's eyes sharpened, he drew his bow and shot an arrow.
"call out--"
Arrows flew out.
As soon as he moved, Xiao Jinxuan also moved.
I just don't know if it was because I held it for too long, or because I was influenced by Xu Yi and ejaculated too quickly. Even Xie Zhuoning saw the problem.
“It’s off!”
The egg is very small, which tests your accuracy.
A small mistake can lead to a huge loss.
Almost at the moment the arrow flew out, it meant that Xiao Jinxuan had lost the game!
Even Xie Zhuoning noticed the problem, so Xiao Bicheng naturally noticed it as well.
He raised his eyebrows proudly, "Alas, people make mistakes, horses stumble, and uncle, don't lose confidence just because of winning or losing a game..."
Before he finished speaking, Xu Yi suddenly widened his eyes and shouted, "Not good!"
He knew why King Xuan missed the target. It was clearly intentional!
By the time he realized it, it was too late.
Just when his arrow was about to hit the eggs, the wrong arrow pierced through the sky, knocked his arrow away, and hit the target beside him!
When Xiao Bicheng saw this scene, his pupils widened and he stood there in shock.
At that moment, Xie Zhuoning felt like his heart skipped a beat.
Two eggs, intact.
The two little maids did not die because of a boring competition.
No wonder Xiao Jinxuan asked at the beginning what would happen if the game was a tie. I'm afraid he had already thought about what to do!
This guy...
This is the kind of guy she likes...
His heart softened, and Xie Zhuoning couldn't help but smile slightly.
Xiao Jinxuan put away his bow and arrow and said casually, "I haven't shot arrows for a long time, so my hands are a little rusty. I didn't expect it to be so far off."
The game was supposed to be a win, but it ended in a draw because of that one arrow. Was it really a coincidence?
Xiao Bicheng was so angry that he gritted his teeth, but he didn't believe his lies.
Xu Yi, who was standing by, whispered in his ear, "The force of the arrow shot by Prince Xuan is a little unstable."
Although it is a subtle mistake, it is impossible for a good archer to make such a mistake.
In other words, there is a high possibility that something really happened to King Xuan's wrist!
Hearing this, Xiao Bicheng deliberately said hypocritically, "Oh, I forgot that when the emperor's uncle shoots, he shoots the legs, the waist, and the heart, but never the throat. This level is really unfair to the emperor's uncle. How about just abandoning it and starting over?"
It sounds like he is biased towards his uncle Seventeen, but he brought this up after the competition is over. How is it different from saying it after the fact?
I'm afraid he just pretended to suddenly remember this because he saw that the game was a draw?
If Xu Yisheng had won, I'm afraid this matter would have been simply skipped!
Moreover, if this game is scrapped, adding another one would only increase the burden on Xiao Jinxuan's skills, wouldn't that?
Xie Zhuoning put his hands on his hips and was about to curse.
But suddenly he thought of something and stood there in a daze.
What did Xiao Bicheng say just now?
Xiao Jinxuan shot the first shot at the leg, the second shot at the waist, the third shot at the heart, and never shot the throat?
Something seemed to be bursting out of her heart. She slowly raised her head, and a trace of confusion that she had never felt before flashed in her eyes.
It was as if something that I had always believed in was shaken at this moment.
"Why?" She looked at Xiao Jinxuan and asked word by word, "Why did you shoot at the legs, waist, and chest, but never the throat?"
Noticing that she was in a bad mood, Xiao Jinxuan frowned slightly, "What's wrong with you?"
Xie Zhuoning said firmly, "Answer me!"
Xiao Jinxuan had no choice but to explain, "Arrows, like swords, are weapons for fighting enemies. But in one's life, one encounters countless enemies, but not all of them are evil and unforgivable. Some may not be guilty of capital crimes, and some may just have different standpoints."
"Shoot him in the legs to make him lose the ability to escape. If he still wants to fight back, shoot him in the waist to make him lose the ability to resist. But if he is still stubborn and refuses to repent, shoot him in the heart to end his life."
He established this rule when he was learning archery.
I just don't want to kill an innocent person.
A feeling of joy rose from the bottom of my heart, as if a gorgeous flower bloomed from the mud and ruins.
Xie Zhuoning's eyes turned red, and tears welled up in his eyes all of a sudden, "So that's how it is... Haha, so that's how it is..."
If she saw how Mr. Jiang Wu and Mr. Song Jian died, she would just suspect that someone else killed her.
Now, after hearing all this, she was finally certain that the person who shot the arrow through her throat was not Xiao Jinxuan, but Xu Yi!
In her previous life, she was an enemy of Xiao Jinxuan and had no idea what kind of person he was. After her rebirth, she was blinded by hatred, so it was natural for her to think that he and Xiao Bicheng were in cahoots.
But based on her current understanding of Xiao Jinxuan, many details simply cannot stand up to scrutiny.
If he knew in the previous life that her father was framed for colluding with the enemy and selling out the country, he would never turn a blind eye to it as the regent.
So when she rushed out and wanted to confront someone, who would be most afraid of being exposed?
Of course it’s Xiaobi City!
Therefore, when Xiao Jinxuan raised an arrow to threaten her to put down her weapon and surrender, Xu Yi shot an arrow through her throat!
This is the truth she has been searching for!
"Xie Zhuoning, what's wrong with you?"
"Sister Zhuoning, are you feeling unwell?"
She cried and laughed at the same time, and looked like she was having a hysterical attack.
Seeing this, Xiao Jinxuan and Xiao Bicheng hurriedly tried to reach out and steady her.
But when they met on a narrow road, neither of them was willing to give way.
"Your Highness, you have no relationship with her, and it is against etiquette to touch her skin."
"Uncle, have you forgotten that she was my fiancée? I've touched her before, and I've touched her before!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Xiao Jinxuan's expression changed immediately, and a cold and fierce aura emanated from his body.
Xiao Bicheng felt a chill down his spine and his scalp tingled. For the first time, he felt the cold and cruel nature of an evil spirit from his aloof and dignified seventeenth uncle.
Seeing that the situation was tense and ready to explode, Xie Zhuoning came to his senses and said calmly, "Your Highness, please be careful with your words! Although you and I were once engaged, I have always abided by the rules and have never overstepped the boundaries!"
After all, she had been coaxed around by Liang Ke before and didn't like Xiao Bicheng at all.
However, Xiao Bicheng's heart was entirely on Bai Yingxue and he only showed superficial respect to her.
How can two people who have no intention of each other have any intimate behavior?
Oh, there was one time, when Xiao Bichen came back from Fu'an Temple, he wanted to do something indecent to her, but as soon as he got close to her, she vomited!
After hearing this, Xiao Jinxuan finally calmed down and looked at her worriedly, "Are you okay?"
Xie Zhuoning grinned, "Very good!"
Since her rebirth, there has never been a moment as good as it is now!
Xiao Jinxuan also breathed a sigh of relief when he saw her eyes shining.
"Go on," he said to Xiao Bicheng, "No need to add another round."
"Two games are enough to decide the winner."
