Li Yuanxiao shouted: "Wen Chengming! You!"

Before he could finish his words, he heard hurried footsteps. It was the servant who had gone to pick up the arrows coming back.

"Sir!" The servant looked unhappy. He rushed over in two steps and raised the arrow in his hand.

Li Yuanxiao frowned in dissatisfaction, "Why are you in such a hurry!"

Just as he finished speaking, his eyes fell on the servant's hand and his voice stopped abruptly.

The bunch of fruits strung on the arrows were still intact. Upon closer inspection, one could see that each arrow was strung with at least two red fruits!
Li Yuanxiao froze in place, his lips moved slightly, and he stammered, "This... This is impossible!"

Is this something that ordinary people can do! ?

Not only were the fruits intact, but one arrow even pierced two or three fruits!
Thinking of her casual look when shooting arrows, Li Yuanxiao's face suddenly turned pale.

Wen Sier smiled and stood up to look, clapped his hands, and said softly, "Minister Li, can you call me grandpa and let me hear it?"

……

In the shadows, a tall and graceful man stood under a tree, his beautiful peach blossom eyes half-closed, looking lazily at the people confronting each other not far away.

Bai Yunxiao stood aside, still unable to recover from the shock.

"This... Your Majesty, this Wen Chengming is really a hidden talent! His archery skills are so superb!"

He calculated in his mind that with Wen Chengming's accuracy, he would be the best even in Yege.

Why is it that such a powerful figure is rumored in Beijing to be a playboy and a fool?
Lu Yilan said nothing, staring at Wen Si'er's smiling face. In the light of the fire in the camp, her features seemed much softer, and her already delicate face seemed even more androgynous.

She seemed to have known the result for a long time, and had a smile on her face, looking as relaxed and cheerful as usual.

Lu Yilan felt an inexplicable stir in his heart, and a strange feeling passed through his heart.

He suddenly said, "Speaking of which, I remember what you found out before, that Wen Chengming often wears a dagger on his waist, and seems to be better at close combat?"

Bai Yunxiao paused, thought about it, and found that it was indeed the case.

He understood what Lu Yilan meant and said hesitantly, "But I haven't found any clues about Wen Chengming's martial arts competition, and no one has seen him use the dagger."

Lu Yilan just said "hmm" and said nothing more.

Bai Yunxiao couldn't figure out what his prince was thinking. He scratched his head and stood aside obediently without saying a word.

The prince naturally has his own considerations. He now understands that Wen Chengming must have a lot of secrets. This kind of person is a deep-minded person. If he wants to stay with the prince, he needs to investigate carefully several times.

At this moment, a high-pitched voice sounded from the other side.

"Wen Chengming, don't go too far!"

Li Yuanxiao's face turned red, obviously he was very angry, and he looked like he wanted to rush forward and bite Wen Si'er hard.

But Wen Sier stood in front of him with a calm face and said with a smile: "What you said, Minister Li, it was you who pointed the sword at me and prevented me from leaving, and it was also you who forced me to compete. Now the winner is clear, Minister Li, do you want to shirk your responsibility?"

Li Yuanxiao's face turned red and white, and he was speechless.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see the outcome of this match. Not to mention that Wensier’s fruits were all left intact on the field, just by counting the number of fruits shot down by Bei, he was far behind!

But if he was asked to call this man grandpa...how could he say that! The guards beside him all put away their swords silently, watching his nose and not daring to make a sound.

Wen Si'er looked at Li Yuanxiao's flushed face leisurely. Seeing that the man in front of her was about to be suffocated to death, she slowly said, "If you really don't want to scream, you can change to other conditions."

Li Yuanxiao was startled, as if afraid that she would regret it, and immediately said: "Okay! You say it!"

Wen Sier laughed and said, "In the next half month, as long as you listen to me, it will be worth calling me grandpa today. What do you think?"

She knew that Li Yuanxiao, the young master, always valued face more than anything else, and he would definitely not be able to call her grandpa. Instead of forcing him into a corner and causing other trouble, it would be better to make things easier for her own future.

Li Yuanxiao said dissatisfiedly: "Wen Chengming, you want me to listen to you for half a month just for a bet, how can this be a good thing!"

Wen Sier raised an eyebrow, "Why, Minister Li wants to default on his debt!?"

Li Yuanxiao stopped talking. He always prided himself on his high moral character and he looked down upon people who did not keep their promises. Naturally, he would not do such a shameless thing as refusing to pay a debt in public.

But let him listen to Wen Chengming...

When Wen Si'er saw his expression, she knew what he was thinking. Her eyes suddenly turned, and the playful expression on her face disappeared, replaced by a gentle look.

"Minister Li, I have already explained before that I was wrongly accused at your father's funeral. After spending these few days with you, would I be that kind of person?"

Li Yuanxiao looked at her warily without saying anything.

Wen Sier continued to persuade him, "To be frank, I am doing this for your own good. Isn't our goal to get to Xuzhou and thoroughly investigate this case? You heard what I said before. Do you dare to believe that you will be tricked by the person behind the scenes?"

Li Yuanxiao's face was clearly filled with emotion.

Wen Sier continued, "You are bringing so many people into Xuzhou in such a high-profile manner. People must have been prepared a long time ago. What they showed us was all fake. We will definitely not be able to find out anything by then. Why don't you and I join forces to investigate this case thoroughly."

"When the time comes, I will get the official seal, and you will be promoted to the Minister of Personnel. Isn't that the best of both worlds? Brother Li, you and I are not enemies."

As they talked, Wen Sier's address changed to "Brother Li" in a friendly way.

Li Yuanxiao was thoughtful. He had to admit that Wen Chengming was right.

When Wen Chengming pointed out that he was too ostentatious, he realized that his actions were actually very stupid, but his pride made him unwilling to admit it.

Now it seems that Wen Chengming is not that kind of fool, so what he said about being wronged may be true... If they can really investigate this case, he will be able to hold his head high when he returns to the capital!
Li Yuanxiao's expression changed. He looked at Wen Si'er and lowered his voice, "Do you have a solution?"

"Of course." Wen Si'er smiled and moved closer to him. The two of them whispered for a while before Li Yuanxiao nodded hesitantly.

"Okay, then I will listen to you first. If you dare to play tricks on me, I will never let you off!"

Wen Sier waved his hand, "Don't worry."

The two of them were at loggerheads just now, but now they have calmed down. Not only did the servants around them look at each other in bewilderment, Bai Yunxiao was also confused.

"Your Majesty, they...are reconciled now?"

After not hearing any movement around him for a while, Bai Yunxiao looked over and saw Lu Yilan looking at Wen Si'er with interest, with a faint smile on his face.

After a long time, the man sighed.

"I underestimated him. He is not just a reckless man who only knows how to fight and kill. He is a fox who can calculate people's hearts." (End of this chapter)
