Chapter 242 Xiao Jinxuan is a pretty nice person!
It was agreed before the competition that the prize for winning would be a kiss from Xie Zhuoning.
She pursed her lips and smiled, not shy at all, and stood on tiptoe openly, "Your Highness Prince Xuan, please don't hide~"
Xiao Jinxuan thought that with so many people around, she could just touch her cheek and pretend.
When those soft lips touched his, his eyes widened suddenly.
It was as if even my breath was taken away, and my heart was trembling.
This girl...
She did it on purpose!
I deliberately wanted to see myself losing control in front of others!
Forget it, let her get out of control. He had no way to deal with her anyway.
When Xie Zhuoning had enough fun and wanted to separate, he found that he could not move.
A pair of iron hands held her down, not allowing her to take even a single step back. "What are you hiding from?"
Those dark and deep eyes were like a whirlpool in the deep sea, as if telling her that if she dared to provoke him, she would never be able to leave.
Xie Zhuoning's heart skipped a beat.
Well, we went too far.
"Cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough!" Seeing that they were still unwilling to separate, Xiao Bicheng's eyes were filled with anger. He put his fist to his lips and coughed so hard that he almost bled.
Damn it!
He hadn't even touched Xie Zhuoning yet, but his seventeenth uncle got there first!
Xie Zhuoning pinched Xiao Jinxuan and told him not to go too far, and he let him go with regret.
Turning around and seeing Xiao Bicheng's ugly face, he did not forget to remind him calmly, "Your Highness the Crown Prince seems to be a little weak. You should ask the imperial physician to prescribe some tonic medicine to regulate your body."
Xie Zhuoning pinched his thigh and almost laughed out loud.
What a loss!
Xiao Bicheng, who was hinted to be in poor health, looked even darker than before.
He gritted his teeth and squeezed out the words, "Thank you for your concern, uncle, but you should worry about yourself first. You are so close to Sister Zhuoning, where does that put Princess Qingyi? Everyone in the world knows that you are going to marry her soon!"
Xie Zhuoning wrinkled his nose, glanced at Xiao Jinxuan, and said deliberately sourly, "Yeah, where do you put Princess Qingyi?"
Xiao Jinxuan said calmly, "Don't worry, Your Highness. I have already asked Princess Jing'an to hold a civil and military meeting and send invitations to all families to select a good husband for Princess Qingyi."
Civil and military conference?
This is because they are afraid that Princess Qingyi prefers literature to martial arts, or prefers martial arts to literature, or prefers both. So they specially invited all types. They are not afraid of not finding someone who suits her taste, right?
Xie Zhuoning thought: Xiao Jinxuan is a pretty nice person!
Xiao Bicheng choked and was speechless. He turned around and thought of another condition of the competition. He curled his lips and chuckled, "I lost. Didn't Sister Zhuoning want to pick one of my guards to take away? Why don't we go to the East Palace and call everyone over. You can take your time to choose?"
You can also use the opportunity of selecting a guard to cultivate your relationship.
He could also take this opportunity to place his own people around Sister Zhuo Ning.
Kill two birds with one stone.
But she didn't expect Xie Zhuoning to twitch his lips and refuse with a smile, "No need, I think Xu Yi is good enough, why not just go with him."
Xiao Bichen's wish was shattered, but at least his second goal was achieved.
He winked at Xu Yi and said, "Then you should just follow Miss Xie carefully."
Xu Yi bowed and said, "Yes."
After coming out of the martial arts arena, Xie Zhuoning rejected the two people's suggestion to send him home, and left with his people.
Xiao Bicheng sneered, "It seems that the emperor's uncle doesn't hold a high position in Sister Zhuo Ning's heart."
Xiao Jinxuan, however, stared at the direction Xie Zhuoning left, his eyebrows slightly furrowed.
She deliberately approached Xiao Bicheng to learn archery from the beginning, probably targeting Xu Yi.
After she finished the first round of competition with Xu Yi, she cried and laughed at the same time. It was the first time I saw her emotions so out of control.
She even put forward the condition of picking a guard to take away, probably for Xu Yi.
What on earth does she want to do?
…
The carriage swayed as it moved along.
Inside the car, Xie Zhuoning opened her red lips and asked, "Guardian Xu, can you show me your bow and arrow?"
Xu Yi hesitated for a moment.
For an archer, it is not a wise move to hand over his weapon to others.
But now Xie Zhuoning is his master in name only, and she is also a weak woman with no power at all. If anything unexpected happens, he can take the bow and arrow back immediately.
Taking the bow and arrow off his back, he handed it over with both hands, "Miss, please."
Xie Zhuoning reached out and stroked it gently, praising it sincerely, "What a good bow, full of murderous power. Guard Xu must have killed a lot of people with this bow, right?"
She looked very interested, as if she was asking just out of curiosity.
Xu Yi paused and replied, "I can't remember clearly. I just followed orders."
Xie Zhuoning continued to ask, "Have you ever killed women and children?"
Xu Yi looked at her warily and didn't answer.
"I don't mean anything else," Xie Zhuoning closed his eyes, hiding the darkness in them, "After all, I asked you to come here because I want you to help me deal with some people that I can't deal with. Do you understand?"
Xu Yi nodded to show that he understood.
It seems that Miss Xie is testing his bottom line of murder.
"Yes," he answered.
"Have you ever killed the elderly and disabled?"
"Yes."
"What about the loyal ministers and generals?"
"Yes."
As a secret guard, the value of his existence is to be a killing knife.
Does the knife choose people?
will not.
"Yeah, it's pretty good." Xie Zhuoning nodded, without taking his eyes off the bow, as if he couldn't let it go.
Soon, the carriage stopped.
The surroundings were extremely quiet, without a single sound of human voice.
Instead, the crisp sounds of insects and birds chirping are pleasing to the ears.
The killer's intuition made Xu Yi realize that something was wrong. He immediately lifted the curtain to look outside and was instantly shocked.
Where is the Zhenyang Marquis Mansion?
It's clearly a deserted wilderness in the suburbs of Beijing!
Could it be that there is a traitor who wants to harm Miss Xie?
Xu Yi's heart sank and he quickly turned back to get his bow back.
The moment he turned around, he saw Xie Zhuoning had already drawn an arrow and was aiming it at his head.
With the standard posture and the arms and back muscles exerting force, he doesn't look like a novice who has just learned archery.
Xu Yi's throat twitched, puzzled, "Miss Xie, what does this mean?"
Xie Zhuoning tilted his head slightly, with a bright smile on his face, like a fairy from a painting, but his tone was vicious and cruel.
"I just want to find someone to try out this bow and arrow to see if it works well."
Xu Yi finally realized something was wrong and rushed over to grab the arrow.
If the distance is too close, the power of the arrow will be greatly reduced. Even if he takes an arrow head-on, he should be able to get the bow and arrow back.
It was a good idea, but he didn't expect that Xie Zhuoning didn't relax at all, but instead slightly raised the corners of his mouth.
He didn't understand what was going on, and the next moment, a thin figure next to him suddenly jumped up and kicked him out of the car!
He rolled to the ground and touched his chest.
Two of his ribs were broken.
The maidservant beside Miss Xie is definitely an expert!
What to do?
He is an archer, and without his bow and arrow, he is like a tiger without its teeth.
But if he wanted to get the bow and arrow back, he would have to fight with the maid.
He was sure that he couldn't beat her.
Then the only option is to escape.
Having made up his mind, he immediately turned around and ran into the woods.
Xie Zhuoning got out of the carriage, stood on the step, raised his bow, pulled the bowstring tight, and raised his eyebrows.
"You're running too slowly!"
