"Hahaha, of course, as long as you have the ability!" "Yes!" Xiao He replied with a hearty laugh. Instantly, the atmosphere at the scene eased up. Yang Chen first wiped his forehead, he was so scared that he sweated all over and almost bit off his tongue.

"Then, how should we compete?" Feng Yunzheng smiled as he looked at Xiao He. Under the illumination of the sunlight, his entire body was bathed in golden light.

"In this king's opinion, it should be the simplest. The target should be at least a hundred meters away, and everyone should fire five arrows to see who has the highest number of targets." At this moment, Feng Qianyue walked over as well.

"Alright, we'll do as His Highness says. However, the target has been moved two hundred meters away, is it possible?" Xiao He.

Two hundred meters? Immediately, those who were eager to give it a try began to retreat. A distance of 100 meters was already enough. A distance of 200 meters was more than enough to hit a target, and some people could not even see the target.

"Isn't it a bit too far?" someone asked.

"After all, what we want to take away today is the Xiao family's item. The rules can naturally be decided by the Xiao family's people. According to this king, the Heavenly Treasure Great General's suggestion is acceptable." Feng Qianyue said.

"Good!" "Then it's a deal!"

Xiao He was good at fighting and also good at fighting, so he was the first to pick up the bow and arrow. He held the arrow high up and with a 'sou' sound, the arrow shot out like lightning.

"Straight on the bull's eye!" The guard guarding the target reported as he ran over.

"As expected of the great general of Treasure Heaven, the young duke is truly amazing." Someone in the crowd cheered.

Lian Ru Yue sat on her chair and smiled as she watched the competition between these men. Actually, no matter if it was in terms of scheming or martial arts, Xiao He was the best. He was someone who could truly live up to the title of "Heavenly Treasure General." It was a pity that he was born in the wrong family and ended up becoming Xiao Zhenhai's son.

At the female guest's table, the servants were carrying bowls of honey soup and placing them on the table one by one.

"I heard that this honey broth soup is Madam Xiao's favorite dessert. Today, we're taking it orally." The assistant minister's wife smiled as she picked up the bowl in front of her, scooped a spoonful and put it in her mouth, carefully tasting it.

"Eldest Miss, please have some soup." At this time, a maid was holding a bowl of sweet soup, but her hand suddenly trembled, and the large bowl fell onto the table. All of the wet soup fell onto Lian Ruyue's body, and a large portion of her chest and legs became wet.

Her face darkened and she abruptly stood up.

Liu Xi Ren frowned and hurried over. "How did you do that?"

The maidservant was so frightened that she quickly kneeled on the ground and said, "Miss, please spare my life. This servant, this servant, this servant did not do it on purpose. I did not do it on purpose."

The small commotion over here seemed to have attracted their attention. Feng Ye, Feng Yu, and the others even turned their heads to look over.

Lian Ruyue said, "Forget it, don't disturb His Highness and the General when they shoot the arrows. I will go find a place to clean up my clothes."

She didn't want to attract too much attention, so she turned around to leave her seat. At this moment, Lian Shiya also stood up with a look of disdain on her face as she said, "Big Sis, how can you clean your clothes when they're this wet? I'll accompany you to the Yi Cui Courtyard to change."

Lian Ru Yue looked at Lian Shiya and said, "Alright, then I'll be troubling Third Sister."

The two sisters and the maidservants walked all the way to Xiao Rou's Yi Cui Yuan Courtyard. Lian Shiya turned around and said to the crowd, "This is the Xiao family's eldest daughter's courtyard. She doesn't like strangers. Wait here for her."

"Yes." The maidservants responded in unison.

When she saw Lian Ruyue enter the Yi Cui Courtyard with Lian Shiya, she couldn't help but worry, and her hands couldn't help but grab the hem of her clothes tightly.

Entering the Yi Cui Courtyard, Lian Shiya said to Lian Ruyue, "Big Sister, ever since Qingqing broke her legs, her mood has been volatile. You know how much she hates you. Let Chun Tun lead you to the warm pavilion and wait there. I'll go get some clothes for you to change into. "

Suddenly thinking for her? Lian Shiya's personality changed? Lian Ru Yue felt suspicious in her heart, but after looking at her wet clothes, she still said, "You're right. It's better for me to stay far away from Xiao Rou. Sorry for troubling you to help me."

"I'm not trying to help you, but it's not like my uncle's banquet was ruined by others." Lian Shiya said nonchalantly. She could not be too intimate with Lian Rue because she was afraid of arousing suspicion.

"No matter what, I have to thank Third Sister." While Lian Ruyue spoke, Chun Ming led them into the warm pavilion, and then they went through two circular doors into the central room.

Chun Ming respectfully said, "First Miss, please wait for a moment. I'll bring the clothes over immediately."

"Yes." Lian Ruyue stood behind the screen, carefully examining the decorations of the room. Although it was a warm house for Xiao Rou, it was still luxurious everywhere. Just saying that the screen was made from rosewood that was ridiculed by the jadeite birds, as well as a vase of antiques.

Just now, when he entered from the outside, it was just a small pavilion, but its structure was comparable to the design of the palace.

Lian Ruyue smiled as her eyes revealed a trace of coldness. Xiao Zhenhai was not some official. He had come back from the Da Liao Kingdom and presented a large amount of treasures to the Emperor. How could he not have some secrets?

"Eldest Miss, your clothes are hanging here. Take off the wet ones. This servant will take them out and clean them for you." As he was thinking, the maid, Chunming, pushed open the door and walked in.

"Alright." Her clothes stuck wet to her skin, making her feel really uncomfortable. Like the moon hanging over her head, she undid the buttons on her lapels one by one until only her close-fitting cherry colored undergarment and her white underpants were left, revealing her coquettish back and slender legs.

Lian Shiya couldn't help but reveal a gaze of jealousy when she saw her delicate figure! Hmph, such a coquettish body will soon turn into a broken body!

She hurriedly walked out. Lian Ruyue lowered her head and used a handkerchief to wipe off the soup stains on her body. She did not notice Lian Shiya's movements.

Lian Shiya hurriedly returned to Xiao Rou's room. When Xiao Rou saw her, she immediately dismissed the servant girls and their wives. She impatiently asked, "How is it?"

"Cousin, don't worry. We'll follow the plan." Lian Shiya's eyes emitted a trace of coldness as she said.

However, Xiao Rou was still worried. She said, "She has many schemes and tricks up her sleeve. I'm afraid that something might go wrong. You keep an eye on her and don't let anything go wrong, understand?"

"Alright, Cousin Sister, don't be in such a hurry. I'll go watch now. This time, it will be hard even for Moon to grow wings!" Only the front door of the Warm Pavilion can escape from this place! " Lian Shiya thought about how Lian Ruyue would suffer, and ran out happily.

That's right, this time she was going to keep an eye on him and make sure nothing went wrong.

Xiao Rou also stood up, but she was helpless as her legs were not convenient. She used her walking stick to walk two steps before retreating. She could only sit on the chair and wait for news.

"Kacha …" Suddenly, a small voice came from behind the screen in her room. She was stunned.

"Kacha …" Listen carefully, and there was another crack, as if a branch had been broken. It was strange how such a sound could be heard in her room.

She got up and walked a few steps to the side of the bed while leaning on her walking stick. Then, she stretched out her hand to push open the screen …

Suddenly …

"Ugh!" She felt her eyes turn hot and her mind turn black. Her mouth suddenly grew wide open!
