Bai Jian's bamboo-like body was bent like the huge bow in his hand!

His face was filled with shock.

He didn't expect that the seemingly harmless and elegant middle-aged man like a scholar beside Zhongbo was actually a grandmaster!
The arrow he shot was easily caught by someone, and his connection with the arrow was severed.

He was attacked back and spat out blood, with the Qi and blood in his meridians still churning.

But the arrow came back!

At a not fast speed, but with great determination, persistence, and silence, he came back!

Everyone saw the arrow.

But except Bai Jian, no one understood how powerful the arrow was.

No one even knew who the arrow was aimed at.

Bai Jian knows.

Because he felt where the energy of the arrow was.

It’s not on Yu Wenfeng!
But... locked him!
He had to take the arrow because if he ran, the arrow would come faster.

There was no way he could outrun that arrow!
How can one take the arrow shot by the Grand Master?
He is a half-step grandmaster, he cannot take it head-on, he can only resolve it.

So, he became a bow.

The bow has a string, and the toughness of the string may be used to offset the force of the arrow.

Of course Yuwen Feng also saw the arrow.

His pupils shrank... After a moment, his gaze moved away from the arrow and looked at the two figures in the distance that were getting smaller and smaller.

"Your Majesty...get out of the way!"

Yu Wenfeng did not hide.

He still stood with his hands behind his back.

"If Zhongfu wanted to kill me, I wouldn't be alive today!"

Yuwen Ji looked at the arrow that was getting closer and closer. In his eyes, the arrow was heading straight for the emperor's face!
"But... Your Majesty, you just shot him with an arrow!"

"Then I don't need to hide. If I die from Zhongfu's arrow, you don't need to avenge me."

"I already have a descendant!"

"You must take good care of the queen. When my child is born... If it is a son, wait until he grows up and help him ascend the throne."

"If it's a girl...let the Queen take her to Ningguo."

"Let her grow up in Ningguo."

"...Maybe I can live in peace forever!"

The arrow is close at hand.

Yuwen Feng remained unmoved.

Yuwen Ji was extremely anxious and was about to step forward to pull Yuwen Feng away, but at this moment, the arrow seemed to have eyes!
It actually turned a corner!

It could have clearly hit Yu Wenfeng's head, but it changed direction slightly when everyone was shocked.

It hit Yu Wenfeng's right ear!
It took away Yu Wenfeng's right ear!
Its speed suddenly increased and it shot towards the white paper about ten feet behind Yu Wenfeng.

Bai Jian is facing a formidable enemy!

Bai Jian used his body as a bow to catch the arrow.

The arrow arrives.

Enter the string.

Bai Jian used the force to turn around and was about to release the arrow...

Unexpectedly,
In full view of everyone, the string broke!
There was a "pop" sound.

Bai Jian's arrow shot into his own chest.

With a "bang...", his chest exploded.

Blood splattered everywhere.

The white paper slowly fell to the ground.

Yu Wenfeng is missing an ear.

Blood ran down his ears and dyed half of his face red.

He felt no pain.

He looked at Bai Jian, who was lying on the ground with his eyes open, in shock... Two of the three royal priests were dead, and one was deposed.

If this arrow was really aimed at me, how could I survive?!
He looked into the distance again, and the two black spots were almost invisible.

He was silent for a long time, then turned around and lowered his head: "Let's go... back to the palace!"

"Your Majesty, those Ning soldiers...?"

"Go back to the palace!"

……

...Yan Jidao withdrew his gaze, then walked slowly with Zhong Bo.

"The man you picked has some guts."

Zhong Bo smiled slightly: "Yuwen Feng, this man's heart... is still relatively upright."

"But as a ruler of a country, integrity is not an appropriate quality."

“Being a person of integrity often means being in a dilemma when making a certain choice.”

"They always think they can handle something more fairly and reasonably, but they don't know how fair things are in the world."

"So... he actually wanted to kill me many times, but he just couldn't bring himself to do it."

"It may be that he has good intentions in his heart, or it may be that he weighed the pros and cons and did not find a result."

"The good thing is that if someone like him is the emperor, at least the country won't be that bad."

"Let's not talk about him anymore. Let's talk about this kid Chen An."

Yan Jidao looked at Zhong Bo's back again. This was the second time that Zhong Bo clearly wanted to know what kind of person Li Chenan was...

With Zhongbo's ability, would he not know?

Qiao Zitong is his student.

Li Chenan is Qiao Zitong's son.

It was too easy for Zhong Bo to understand Li Chenan.

But he asked twice.

It’s not that he doesn’t know Li Chenan, he just wants to hear more about Li Chenan.

Yan Jidao still didn't mention Li Chenan.

He suddenly asked:
"When we were talking about Empress Lu just now, you said that Lu Chuxue didn't love Emperor Zhaohua at all... Why do I remember that Empress Lu's name was not Lu Chuxue, but Lu Qiushuang?"

Zhong Bo's body suddenly stiffened.

He stopped and, under Yan Jidao's gaze, he pondered for a few breaths, as if after some thought, he said:
"It was too long ago, maybe I remembered it wrongly."

Yan Jidao laughed:

"You remember correctly."

"Lu Yueting, Lu Qiushuang, Lu Chuxue... Few people in Kyoto know that they are the three twin sisters who came to the mansion!"

Zhong Bo slowly turned around and looked at Yan Ji and asked, "How did you know?"

"The reason why Zhangsun Jinghong did not leave the Imperial City Division after Empress Lu hanged herself was not because he felt guilty, but because..."

"He knew about the three twin sisters who came to the mansion, and also knew things that could not be told to outsiders."

"Emperor Zhaohua married his eldest daughter, Lu Yueting, but Lu Yueting was unwilling to do so. She said that Fan Taohua persuaded her to do so, but that was not the case."

"The one who married Emperor Zhaohua was... the third child, Lu Chuxue!"

"Lu Chuxue didn't enter the palace voluntarily, but... you persuaded her!"

"At that time, you often went to Shangchehou Mansion to drink tea and discuss the world with Lu Zhanxiao. Lu Chuxue was always by your side and gradually fell in love with your talent."

"You were probably over 40 years old at that time, and Lu Chuxue was only 16 years old."

"A 16-year-old girl who is just beginning to fall in love was given to you by you just like that... I can't say that, I can only say that she was willing, and it can be considered that the two of you were in love."

Zhong Bo's pupils shrank and his eyes slowly narrowed, but Yan Jidao seemed not to notice and continued:

"Lu Zhanxiao didn't know at first."

"When the emperor's decree came down, it was not Lu Yueting who entered the palace, but Lu Chuxue who used the alias Lu Yueting."

"In the winter of the third year of Zhaohua, Lu Chuxue became pregnant. That was when you were planning to rebel. That's when Lu Zhanxiao realized that it wasn't Lu Yueting who was in the palace."

"Lu Zhanxiao's hesitation is precisely because he knows about you and Lu Chuxue!"

"He's furious!"

"He wants to kill you!"

"That's why you used Zhongli Po to kill the entire family of Shangchehou Mansion with Mi Li!"

"There are secret rumors that the child in Lu Chuxue's belly is Ning Jingrong's who is imprisoned in Luoying Palace..."

Yan Jidao grinned, "Ning Jingrong is very wronged. Fan Taohua would never do such a thing. The rumors you spread don't stand up to scrutiny, but someone is covering it up for you... like Hua Manting."

"It's a mess,"

"Don't look at me like that either."

"I'm not interested in those things. I just want to ask. There are two versions of the rumor."

"It is said that the child born by Queen Lu was taken away by Fan Taohua and given to He Xishan."

"Another story is that he was taken away by Mr. Chunfu and grew up in the Li Mansion in Guangling City."

"In the same year, Princess Yun'an also became pregnant. She should have given birth to a child that year."

"So, I'm just a little curious, Li Chenan, whose son is he?" (End of this chapter)
