348 Hiding
Xu Xiang stomped on Xu Sizhi’s foot angrily with an expression that said, “I’m angry, so come and coax me.”
Xu Sizhi shook his head helplessly. He hadn’t done anything, so why was she so angry?
Seeing this, Xu Qing only smiled and let them do whatever they wanted.
...The weather remained clear even on the third day.
With external help and various secret medicines, Yuan’er won consecutively.
Ao Heng’s expression darkened as he got someone to bring the Sunset Bow up. Yuan’er’s eyes lit up when he saw this.
“Only people who can pull the bow can take it away.” How could Ao Heng be willing to give the Sunset Bow to Qiao Yanhui’s son?
Yuan’er’s gaze turned cold. His hand was too small to even hold it, let alone pull it. This made Yuan’er a little anxious, but he still didn’t give up. He tried his best to pick up the Sunset Bow, but he failed again and again.
Ao Heng felt smug. So what if he won? He still couldn’t pull the bow. However, in the next second, Ao Heng’s expression darkened.
“I’ll keep this bow for my son first.” Qiao Yanhui picked up the Sunset Bow easily and pulled the arrow in front of everyone. Then, he picked up an arrow from the side and nocked it on the bow. The tip of the arrow was pointed at Ao Heng.
“What do you want to do?” Ao Heng’s face was pale.
Everyone present looked at Qiao Yanhui in fear. Could it be that Qiao Yanhui wanted to kill his father in public?
In the next second, Qiao Yanhui’s arrow shifted and flew past Ao Heng with a whoosh. The target it pierced was only a small distance away from him.
At that moment, Ao Heng was so frightened that his heart almost stopped. If not for Bao Hong supporting him, he would have fallen from the high platform.
Bao Hongyi was also trembling. He didn’t expect Qiao Yanhui to be so bold as to scare the emperor in public.
“As expected, a good bow needs a good arrow. What a pity…” Qiao Yanhui put away the Sunset Bow as he said aloofly.
Everyone lowered their heads and didn’t dare to say anything about Qiao Yanhui’s actions.
Ao Heng’s face was pale as he glared at Qiao Yanhui angrily.
Qiao Yanhui smiled mockingly as he said to his son, “I tried it for you. It’s not bad. It’s worthy of you.”
Everyone was in an uproar. This was a divine bow that only the previous emperors of the Ancient Kingdom were worthy of possessing. No, it was something that only the world’s overlords were worthy of possessing. But now, it had become something only worthy of a child?
Yuan’er also smiled. There was no fear in his eyes, only confidence. “From now on, the Sunset Bow will be my companion.”
At night, Yuan’er hugged this Sunset Bow to sleep. When Xu Qing saw how Yuan’er was so happy even in his sleep, she smiled at Qiao Yanhui.
Qiao Yanhui carried Xu Qing back to their tent.
“I think Ao Heng could barely hold it in today,” Xu Qing said seriously. She had guessed that Ao Heng would take action on the day they returned, but after today’s incident…
“Whatever. Since he’s already prepared to fight, let’s fight.” Qiao Yanhui didn’t take Ao Heng seriously at all.
However, just as the two of them were about to rest, the tent suddenly caught fire. Qiao Yanhui was immediately enraged, and his eyes were filled with killing intent. This was really underhanded even for Ao Heng.
Everyone’s tents were on fire, so they had no choice but to escape. However, just as they escaped, they were pierced by cold swords. Everything happened silently and blatantly. The bloody scene made everyone cry out in fear, and the scene became even more chaotic.
“What is Ao Heng trying to do? Is he crazy?” Xu Qing was enraged. This was already an indiscriminate massacre. How could he do this?!
“He’s crazy. He wants to take this opportunity to completely reform the royal court.” Qiao Yanhui sneered. He had expected that Ao Heng would deal with him by hook or by crook, but he didn’t expect him to be so crazy. There were many women and children here.
“Where are our children?” Xu Qing grabbed Qiao Yanhui’s hand and asked anxiously.
“Don’t worry, they’re very safe,” Qiao Yanhui comforted. He had long been prepared. As long as there was any chaos, someone would send the children away.
“That’s good.” Xu Qing heaved a sigh of relief. She wasn’t Saint Mary. At this moment, she was definitely most worried about her children.
As soon as the assassins saw Qiao Yanhui and Xu Qing, they rushed over. It was obvious that they had received orders not to let anyone off.
Xu Qing asked as she fired the hidden weapons, “Let’s not waste time here. Where’s Ao Heng?”
“He’s hiding.” However, did he think that he was safe just because he was hiding? As Qiao Yanhui looked towards a certain place, he revealed a bloodthirsty smile.
Ao Heng was looking at the hunting ground with an indifferent expression. After he killed them all, no one in the world would go against him anymore.
