Chapter 1071: It Begins

y testing the waters. He wanted An Xuetang to speak up and try to stop it, but he didn't actually intend to harm An Nanlin.No matter what, An Nalin is Liu Xiang's son-in-law, so he naturally wouldn't...Ning'er and Shou'er, seeing their own princess's smile, couldn't help but get goosebumps.

To be honest, ever since their queen became pregnant, they had never seen her with such a calculating expression.

It seems like someone is going to be in trouble today.

As if reading Sun Gaoting's mind, An Xuetang promptly laid out her terms:

"I heard General Sun is an incredible archer, never missing a shot on the battlefield. Since General Sun is so skilled, why don't we have some fun"

"...."

Sun Goting was stunned for a moment, playing tricks

This princess of Beijiang is truly no ordinary woman.

After he realized, he smirked. She had suggested playing games herself, which saved him a lot of trouble.

"I wonder how the Northern Border Princess wants to play"

"Each of us sends out a person as a living target. Of course, this living target can move freely. Whether you can hit your opponent's living target depends on your own skill."

"!"

Live target

Everyone present stared at An Xuetang in astonishment. Did she know what she was saying

After watching An Xue Tang, everyone couldn't help but look at the King of Beijang, wanting to know if he would stop her.

To use living people as targets, isn't this Northern Frontier Princess a bit too bloodthirsty

Sun Gao Ting glanced at Mo Yun Jing. Seeing that he didn't mean to stop him, he couldn't help but say, "Wouldn't this be a bit inappropriate Does the Princess understand what 'target' means"

An Xuetang chuckled softly, "Of course, wouldn't General Sun be willing"

Being provoked like this by An Xue Tang, Sun Gao Ting, who was naturally proud and arrogant by nature, couldn't bear it. He smiled and shook his head, "It's not that I'm unwilling, but on the battlefield, swords have no eyes. Although the current competition between the last general and the princess is just a test, after all, the arrows shot out cannot be taken back. The last general is worried that if he accidentally hurts or takes the life of the live target, the princess will blame him."

All that matters is his words.

An Xuetang smirked, "Since this concubine has proposed such a game, no matter what happens, she won't blame anyone."

"Speaking of which, she seemed to suddenly realize something and asked Sun Gauthing in surprise, “But wouldn’t General Sun also be sending someone for the live target practice According to what General Sun said just now, it seems that no matter what happens during the competition, General Sun won't blame me, right It doesn't matter though, if General Sun is afraid of his own people losing their lives, then we can just forget about the live target practice.”

Provocation!

Sun Guoting naturally knew this, but he fell for it nonetheless.

Not only did Sun Guoting fall for this, but his deputy general Li Yi did as well.

After An Xuetang finished speaking, Sun Gao Ting remained silent. Suddenly, Li Yi stepped forward and said proudly, "I'll do it! I'll be the target."

He was a martial artist, after all, and his light footwork wasn't bad. He didn't believe he couldn't dodge the arrows shot by this woman.

Sun Gaoting hesitated for a moment. This general was his right-hand man, and he certainly didn't want anything to happen to him.

But thinking about his light kung fu skills, and An Xuetang being a woman without any skill in martial arts, she probably couldn't hurt him.

Thinking about it, he still defaulted to letting Li Yi be the target.

Sun Gao Ting's people confirmed, Ning'er almost without thinking stepped forward.

But at this moment, Mo Yunjing spoke up, "This King will come."

"!!!"

What

Those present momentarily doubted their own ears, thinking they had misheard.

An Xue Tang wasn't that surprising, she had wanted Mo Yun Jing to go on stage anyway. After all, Ning Er and the others' light kung fu couldn't compare to Mo Yun Jing's.

Moreover, she already had a plan. Even if the people she sent out didn't know any light kung fu, she had a way for them to retreat safely.

The emperor certainly wouldn't want Mo Yunjing to have an accident at this crucial juncture, so when Mo Yunjing made this astonishing declaration, he immediately tried to stop him. But Mo Yunjing didn't give anyone a chance to object.

I saw that he had walked leisurely into the venue.

Li Yi, seeing this, was not to be outdone and strode inside.

An Xuetang glanced at Sun Gaoting, "Three arrows decide life and death, you and I on each side, how about it"

Sun Gao-ting nodded without hesitation, "No problem."

After finishing his words, Sun Gaoting used his light kung fu to fly to the other side of the field.

The emperor frowned, he glanced at An Xue Tang, wanting to speak but holding back.

But in the end, he said nothing. After all, he knew that even if he did speak up, both Mo Yunjing and An Xuetang wouldn't listen to him.

After a moment of silence, the emperor began to preside over the contest. Seeing that both parties were ready, he glanced at An Xue Tang and then at Sun Gaoting before promptly shouting, "Begin!"

All eyes were on Mo Yunjing, holding their breaths in fear that he would be shot by Sun Gaoting.

Unlike everyone else's worry, the person involved, Mo Yunjing, seemed remarkably calm. His eyes met An Xuetang's in the air, and the couple silently hooked their lips in understanding.

Then, An Xue Tang withdrew her gaze and calmly gestured to the side. Ning'er knowingly passed a bow into her hands.

Ning'er was not good with words. Shou'er, standing beside her, smiled and said, "Your Highness, don't go easy on them."

An Xue Tang smiled and hummed in response, then without hesitation, she gracefully grasped her bow. In that instant, her demeanor underwent a drastic change, the smile in her eyes vanished completely, and all that remained was an aura of ferocity.

Ning'er and Shou'er exchanged a glance. It had indeed been a long time since they had seen the Princess like this. So long that they had almost forgotten, even though the Princess did not possess any so-called internal energy, her abilities were no worse than theirs who had it.

Mo Yunjing's gaze remained fixed on An Xuetang. Seeing the murderous intent flash in her eyes, he narrowed his eyes slightly, yet he remained standing motionless.

Sun Gao Ting clenched his strong bow, seeing Mo Yun Jing so dismissive of him, his heart filled with anger.

He had someone hand him an arrow, and across from him, An Xuetang had already nocked her arrow, slowly drawing it back until it was stretched to its limit.

An Xuetang's eyes were not on the live target in the field at all, she was aiming at Sun Gaoting opposite her.

And Li Yi had been paying close attention to her movements all along. Seeing that she didn't intend to shoot him, but instead aimed at Sun Gao Ting behind him, he watched as the arrow seemed to emanate a cold, murderous aura. A surge of power crackled between the woman's fingers and arms, eager to break free, capable of unleashing havoc in an instant. Li Yi's face changed drastically.

... while An Xue Tang's gaze was truly fixed on Sun Gao Ting the whole time, he finally dared to confirm that this woman's target was their general! ...

Realizing this, he suddenly turned his head and shouted to Sun Guoting in panic, "General, be careful!"

Sun Gao-ting's attention was instantly diverted. His brows furrowed, and he instinctively looked at Li Yi. But before he could make out what was happening, An Xue-tang's arrow suddenly changed direction. Her finger relaxed, and the arrow flew off the string.ip suddenly changed direction. Seeing that Yun Liu was unharmed, the man was startled and exerted even more force, trying to change his suppressed situation.He was now contorted in rage, his eyes blaz...
