Noble First Daughter-in-law

Last shot!
Shang Ruyi strung up his bow and finished it in one go. But at this time, they had already run halfway through the long road and were getting closer and closer to the burning wooden pile. Even the huge bonfire behind the wooden pile was blazing. The hot air was also mixed with the cold wind, blowing towards my face.

The mixture of hot and cold made Shang Ruyi tremble.

She couldn't help but turn her head and look at Lei Yu, who was also galloping beside her. Although she shot the second arrow faster and more accurately than she did, and she also unstringed the bow faster, at this time, her last shot But the arrow has not been shot.

Even at this moment, she turned to look at Shang Ruyi, with a look of hesitation in her gentle yet firm eyes for the first time.

In just a moment, Shang Ruyi understood the pain in her eyes.

She should understand very well that Shang Ruyi regards her reputation and dignity as more important than life, and she is stubborn to let him survive, but she is forced to be Ashina Zhu Xie's concubine, no, Not even a concubine, but a slave. Is this outcome really better than death for Shang Ruyi?
Is it selfish of her to want to keep this friend alive?
Before shooting the last and most critical arrow, this contradiction was entangled in her heart just like the wind of ice and fire entangled in the tip of her arrow, making her more painful. Even the hand that pulled the bow hesitated. stand up.

Do you really want her to survive?

But, if not, could he just watch her die?

When he was so entangled that his internal organs were tangled together and he couldn't breathe, Lei Yu glanced at Shang Ruyi again, as if he wanted to get some answer from her.

But this sight made her feel frightened.

Shang Ruyi, who was galloping like her, was stringing his bow at the wooden stake in front of him, preparing to shoot the last and most crucial arrow. At this time, his eyes were cold and he was staring straight ahead.

However, what she was looking at was not the burning stake.

But behind the wooden pile!
Although the target of their riding and shooting competition this time was the burning wooden stake standing directly in front of the bonfire, and the bonfire was in the center of this long road, however, because the two people had to reach the wooden stake before Three arrows were shot. In order to see the results of the competition clearly, most of the people, especially the princes and nobles, including Ashina Tsari, Prince Zhu Xie, Mrs. Jia Yuan, and other ministers, gathered at Changdao's first half.

Only a small number of people, that is, ordinary civilians with relatively low status, stood on the other side of the long road.

So the crowd was sparse, and there were no guards or warriors.

In the eyes of Shang Ruyi at this moment, that is——

A way out!
At this moment, the blazing flames reflected in Shang Ruyi's eyes, and a bright light flashed suddenly. Although she opened the bow with both hands, the bowstring had been deeply inserted into her fingertips, almost cutting the flesh, but the last arrow But it didn't ejaculate for a long time.

A thought in my mind also burned like a blazing fire.

After these two arrows were shot, she was already at a disadvantage. She also understood very well that Lei Yu wanted to let herself live, but no matter what, she could not accept such a result. Instead of being manipulated by Ashina Zari at will, her father's former reputation would be destroyed. It is better to fight once in a desperate situation than to crush it!
Even if it means death!
But if that is a way to survive, then the arrow in your hand may be a glimmer of hope on this way!
Thinking of this, her hand that was tightly clasping the bow string subconsciously relaxed a little, but her legs did not relax. Even everyone around them was staring at the two of them, especially the long bows in their hands. At that moment, he clamped the horse's belly hard, and the horse immediately galloped forward faster.

The horse's hooves were fast and heavy. They stepped on the cold and damp grass, causing water droplets to splash and the ground to tremble slightly.

"As one wishes……"

Lei Yu's soft call seemed to ring in his ears, but at this time, Shang Ruyi could no longer care about that.

The people around looked at her bow and arrow, but she still didn't shoot the last arrow, and they all had surprised expressions on their faces, especially Prince Zhu Xie who was standing behind Ashina Zari. At this moment, He seemed to be keenly aware of something, his thick black brows slightly frowned, and his pair of bright and restrained eyes stared at Shang Ruyi's flying back.He murmured: "Can't you..."

At this moment, another cold light flashed across everyone's eyes as fast as lightning.

It's the third arrow!

Shang Ruyi was originally focused on galloping forward, but the arrow barely flew past her side, and the stirring cold wind passed by her ears, causing her hair to fly up. Among the messy hair, there were only I saw that lightning-like arrow shot towards the burning wooden pile, but at the last moment, it grazed the side of the wooden pile.

There was a "pop" sound, which seemed to be frightened by the strong wind caused by the arrow. The wooden pile that had been burning for half a day suddenly broke.

And that arrow missed the target!

Suddenly, there was a cry of surprise and disbelief around him, and Shang Ruyi's heart couldn't help but sink, but before he could react, he heard a strange noise coming from behind him.

Immediately, someone shouted——

"Lei Yu!"

what happened! ?
Shang Ruyi turned around quickly and opened his eyes wide.

Lei Yu, who was sitting firmly on the horse, started to shake at this moment. The moment Shang Ruyi turned around, she looked up at Shang Ruyi. During the shaking and bumping, she shook her head gently, and then One foot slipped from the stirrup——

"No!"

Shang Ruyi exclaimed, but Lei Yu fell off the horse like a puppet without its strings!

At this moment, Shang Ruyi felt that her mind went blank, and the whole world seemed to have darkened. She only watched Lei Yu fall heavily to the ground and rolled several times!

Shang Ruyi immediately threw away the bow and arrow in his hand, grabbed the reins and pulled hard.

The horse under her seat was originally charging at full speed. At this time, she severely reined in the horse's head. The horse's head swayed hard, and Shang Ruyi's jaws suddenly burst open. Blood immediately spattered out, staining the palms and reins red. The severe pain caused Shang Ruyi gritted her teeth for a moment, but she did not let go. She still tightened her grip on the reins and pulled the horse upright. She kicked her front hooves hard in the air several times and let out a scream. A long hiss.

Finally, the horse's hoof finally fell heavily.

Without waiting for the horse to stop, Shang Ruyi quickly dismounted and ran back.

"Leiyu! Leiyu!"

Shang Ruyi staggered to her side, only to see Lei Yu's face turned pale and fainted on the ground. Shang Ruyi's eyes suddenly burst open, and he was about to reach out to pick her up. At this moment, a figure suddenly rushed up and grabbed her. Lift Lei Yu from the ground.
