Heavenly Sage Kingdom's Hunting Day had a rule: one had to draw the bow before hunting.

Therefore, there were ten targets set up not too far away.

Xuanyuan Chen was riding a horse with a horse in his hand, indicating her: A Rong, do you want to compete with me?

The young masters of the aristocratic families all shot their arrows as their swords flew towards the target.

It hit the bull's-eye!

The audience cheered.

Only Xuanyuan Chen and Xie Qingrong were still holding on to their bows, waiting for the others to finish shooting, before they slowly pulled back their bows.

Xie Qingrong had specially prepared the bow in her hand for her, she did not need much strength to pull it, it relied entirely on the bow's elasticity.

Xie Qingrong stared closely at the target not far away, the target with the red heart seemed to have become a dot with her eyes.

In modern times, she was the ancestor who played with guns, and shooting at the heart was basically an instinctive reaction …

The corner of Xie Qingrong's mouth hooked up into an extremely dazzling, confident smile. A slender finger rested on the arrow, straining the string. It was like a scenery.

Xiu – –, an arrow pierced through the enemy, directly aiming for the target, aiming straight at the heart of the target.

The two arrows pierced the center of the target and struck the wood behind the target.

Heavenly Sage Emperor suddenly laughed and praised Xie Qingrong, "Truly, a tiger father doesn't have a dog daughter!"

There was not a single trace of complacency on Xie Qingrong's face that was praised, and her expression was still as calm as ice. However, Gongsun Heng did not know what had happened as he glanced at Xie Qingrong.

Drum beats rang out again, piercing through the clouds and causing the birds in the sky to scurry around in fright.

Xuanyuan Mingcheng donned a full set of golden armor, and holding onto a curved bow, he galloped his horse to stand at the front, followed by Xuanyuan Chen, Xuanyuan Jing and the other princes.

The rest of the officials who were powerless were under the protection of the other imperial guards, along with the empress, imperial concubine, and other women, waiting for their hunt to end.

Because Xie Qingrong had pulled on the bow just now, Xie Qingrong was also riding on a horse right now, following behind Xuanyuan Chen.

Following Heavenly Sage Emperor's orders, everyone rode into the forest and split up to hunt.

Xie Qingrong did not follow Xuanyuan Chen over, and chose to take the other path because the Profound realm had been sent out by Xie Qingrong. Therefore, Xuanyuan Chen ordered the green dragon to protect Xie Qingrong's safety, even though he did not need it.

The green dragon spurred his horse to follow Xie Qingrong. Xie Qingrong slightly raised her hand and shot a rabbit to the ground. The guard behind him immediately picked up the rabbit and hung it on the horse.

"Princess, how did you do it?" Azure Dragon's tone was full of admiration. If he were to come to hunt, he wouldn't be able to be as carefree and carefree as his wangfei.

Xie Qingrong raised the thing tied to her left arm and told the green dragon, "This is the sleeve arrow." However, this was no ordinary sleeve arrow, there were many different mechanisms inside. This was something that Xie Qingrong used to protect her life in her previous life.

That's right, it was the weapon on the blueprint that Xie Qingrong had given Xuanyuan Chen that day.

It just so happened that today's hunt could be used. This small and exquisite one was much more convenient than those bows and arrows.

"Sou — —" Before Xie Qingrong could finish her sentence, an arrow pierced through the air in front of him.

It was as fast as lightning.

"Men, protect the wangfei." The green dragon had just pulled out his sword, and rushed towards Xie Qingrong.

The imperial guards who were following behind Xie Qingrong also rushed forward.

Xie Qingrong raised her arm slightly, and a sleeve arrow soared into the sky, clashing with the flying arrow. When the arrow was struck, it trembled and fell to the ground.

Just as the arrows were about to land on the ground, the arrows shot out from all directions towards Xie Qingrong.

Its killing intent was ferocious, and its arrows were as fast as lightning.

Xie Qingrong quickly turned her wrist, the whip quickly spun, and the arrows started to fall to the ground.

However, right at that moment, a black arrow, which carried Ling Ran's killing intent, shot towards Xie Qingrong's back. Xie Qingrong just kept his whip and swept it behind him, it was too late.

A golden arrow flew past Xie Qingrong's direction, clashing with the black arrow. Bang! She shot the black arrow directly at the tree opposite him.

The sunlight penetrated through the dense treetops and shone on the golden arrows. They glittered and shone brilliantly.

The Azure Dragon let out a long breath.

Seeing that, Xie Qingrong frowned, she raised her head and looked, only to see that Gongsun Heng, who was dressed in a snow-white crescent robe, was still holding onto a shooting bow, sitting on the red horse, with a cold look in his eyes, his expression calm.

He turned to look at the sword on the tree. The golden arrow had cut the marks on the head of the arrow, but there were no marks left on it.

Xie Qingrong cursed in her heart. Damn it.

Yesterday in the great hall, she hadn't seen wrong when Right Prime Minister and his eyes met, filled with killing intent. Moreover, she still hadn't avenged herself of that assassination attempt.

She had wanted to take advantage of Xuanyuan Chen and kill two birds with one stone, framing Right Prime Minister and Xuanyuan Jing. He never thought that Gongsun Heng would actually destroy everything she had done. He couldn't help but wonder if Gongsun Heng knew of their plans.

Although he was cursing and doubting at the bottom of his heart, there was not a single emotion that escaped from Xie Qingrong's face. At the corner of her eyes, there was a hint of gratitude, "Many thanks to Your Highness, Crown Prince."

"You're welcome." Gongsun Heng said coldly. He was very indifferent and did not feel proud of his extraordinary shooting ability.

Xie Qingrong nodded towards Gongsun Heng, then rode her horse to meet up with the guards who were chasing after the assassins.

Those guards did not manage to kill the assassin. They stood in front of Xie Qingrong in shame, waiting for her retribution.
