C393 archery competition

"Hmm?" Xie Qingrong was a little confused.

Xuanyuan Chen caressed Xie Qingrong's hair and said softly: "A Rong will do whatever you want to do. No matter what happens, I will carry the burden.

Xie Qingrong pursed her lips. She was somewhat touched in her heart as she slowly opened Xuanyuan Chen's palm and then placed his flattened hand on top of Xuanyuan Chen's palm.

His ten fingers clenched and tightened, as if they were giving him strength.

He smiled and said, "Then I'll go."

Xie Qingrong leisurely stood at the very back of the line.

When Gongsun Heng saw Xie Qingrong's figure, he was slightly surprised, but his face was still expressionless. He stood next to Xie Qingrong and asked: "What is the Crown Princess doing?"

"Naturally, we have to participate in the competition." Xie Qingrong glanced at Gongsun Heng in shock. His actions were already so obvious, could Gongsun Heng not see through it?

Hearing Xie Qingrong's answer, Gongsun Heng frowned and said: "Why?"

"I heard that there will be rich rewards for winning the archery competition, and this time, there might be a treasure map. The I is naturally here for the treasure map." Xie Qingrong said as a matter of fact. If not for the treasure map, she would not have been able to shine above the Chu Country's birthday banquet.

Wouldn't that be smacking the face of the host?

However, she had already forgotten how Gongsun Heng had unknowingly slapped the face of the Heavenly Saint in the Fangfang Feast.

Hearing the three words "treasure map", he immediately understood Xie Qingrong's motive. He also knew who told Xie Qingrong why there was a treasure map in the last prize.

But today's archery competition was not only a competition, he had to think of a way to stop Xie Qingrong, otherwise, the people who would lose face at the banquet would not only be the Chu Country, but also the Heavenly Sage.

He did not want to lose out in such a small matter.

"The Crown Princess can't participate in this competition." Gongsun Heng coldly rejected.

Xie Qingrong's eyebrows drooped down, a deep killing intent could be seen in her eyes, "Why?"

"The Crown Princess is not someone from the Chu Country." Gongsun Heng casually found an excuse to lie to Xie Qingrong, but unexpectedly, he caught the reason right in front of him.

"Could it be that the Crown Prince Gongsun discriminates against us Heavenly Saints? Just a small competition, why couldn't I participate? Why would I remember that the invitation to this banquet was personally handed to I herself? Since I participated in this banquet, could it be that due to some unknown identity, she cannot participate in this small competition? Crown Prince Gongsun doesn't think that this reason is too unreasonable? "

Xie Qingrong said coldly. She was not allowed to participate, yet she insisted on participating!

Gongsun Heng pursed his lips, he merely wanted to find a random reason to please Xie Qingrong, but he did not expect Xie Qingrong to be so serious, since she insisted on participating in the banquet, then whatever, he would not stop her.

Gongsun Heng gave a deep glance at Xie Qingrong, and only saw that Xie Qingrong was somewhat baffled, but in the end, she still successfully participated in the competition.

There were a total of twenty women participating in the archery competition. They lined up in two rows, taking out the top three from each row. The final victor would be able to take away one of the treasures on the table.

Xie Qingrong's gaze swept across the treasures on the table. Seeing something that looked like a small box, she finally understood.

It seemed like the treasure inside this small box was a treasure map, Gongsun Yan did not lie to him.

Xie Qingrong's gaze was completely focused on the treasure map, and she did not see the extremely complicated gaze Gongsun Yan had cast at him.

She was placed on the far left of the second row.

Everyone gathered in a circle, their gazes fixated on the women in the first row.

The women had a total of three arrows. The total score of the three arrows that hit the target was their final score, and the highest had won.

The ten targets were about ten meters away from them.

"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh ~ ~"

The sound of arrows leaving the bowstring rose and fell.

"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh ~ ~"

The second arrow had already left the bowstring.

"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh ~ ~"

After finishing the three arrows, An Muxi's reading mate, An Muxi, compiled the results obtained from each of the targets.

The woman in the first row took a step back, and the woman in the second row stepped forward.

Xie Qingrong easily took the bow and arrow in hand, and looked at Xuanyuan Chen, who was looking at her gently, with a relieved gaze. Then, she turned her body to the side, and stared at the target with her sharp eyes.

In just a blink of an eye, the aura around Xie Qingrong's body changed, from the gentle and distant state just now to the cold sharpness she was now, like an unsheathed sword sheath, the sword body releasing a faint cold light.

Xie Qingrong pulled the bow, the slender bowstring cracking tightly, and stared straight at the target's heart, causing the arrow that left the bow to fly straight towards the target with the force of thunder.

It hit the heart!

All three arrows had perfectly hit the heart.

The surrounding generals were discussing with Xie Qingrong. After all, no matter if it was Xie Qingrong's actions of pulling the bow or her momentum in releasing the arrows, she looked like a soldier who had been in contact with many years of shooting.

Fast and steady!

There was no suspense about the results of the competition. Originally, there was still one more round to progress, but after Gongsun Heng saw the results, he felt that the competition was meaningless and directly announced Xie Qingrong as the champion.

Xie Qingrong's gaze swept over the girls. These girls might have learnt just that one and half moves temporarily, but compared to him, her own advantage was evident.

Although this match wasn't a good one, for the sake of the treasure map, she didn't plan on worrying too much about it.

When Gongsun Heng passed by Xie Qingrong, he softly said a sentence. Xie Qingrong paused for a moment, then walked towards the desk in an extremely natural manner. She held the small box in her hands, and hid it in her sleeves.

Just now, Gongsun Heng had said the two words "little box" to her.

In her heart, she suspected that the small box already contained a treasure map, and now it was verified.

After obtaining the fourth treasure map, he felt joy in his heart, and quickly walked to Xuanyuan Chen's side, wanting to leave the banquet. After all, there was no need to continue participating in the banquet, furthermore, he had obtained what he wanted.

Unexpectedly, he was blocked by the few ministers standing by his side. Xie Qingrong frowned: What is the meaning of this?

One of the officials stepped forward to explain to Xie Qingrong: "This subject has never seen the lady in the capital before, but the lady must have brought the invitation from her highness to enter the banquet. When the lady won the top spot earlier, she naturally stayed behind to become His Highness' lateral consort. "

As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Qingrong's expression changed, the imposing aura that was filled with ferocity and hostility was instantly released, and the killing intent in the depths of his eyes flickered: "What do you mean?"

The official was frightened by Xie Qingrong's aura and her heart fiercely trembled. Her lips trembled and she tried to explain, but she could not utter a single word.
