Chapter 264 It’s Your Turn to Fulfill Your Promise

Everyone knew that the arrow had deflected, but no one said anything.

Many students saw this and wanted to speak up to remind them, but the people next to them gently pulled their sleeves and signaled them not to speak.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see who Song Xiuwen’s target is.

What's more, the person who allowed Xu Yuan to enter Wenhua Palace was the prince.

Even if it is to be stopped, it should be done by the crown prince.

The string is taut.

Even with a veil covering his eyes, Song Xiuwen still closed his eyes.

The wind whistled in my ears.

The words that Xu Yuan had said kept circling in his mind like a kaleidoscope.

This further strengthened Song Xiuwen's idea.

The arrow was aimed steadily at Xuyuan.

Xu Yuan looked back and saw Song Xiuwen drawing an arrow. He curled the corners of his lips slightly, drew his bow and drew an arrow, aiming behind Song Xiuwen.

A stark contrast to the previous silence.

Qi Shengxin stood up and looked at Xu Yuan nervously.

Bei Yao curled his lips and asked Bei Yuan meaningfully: "Brother, there is also a target behind Song Xiuwen. Do you think Xu Yuan was aiming at Song Xiuwen or the target behind Song Xiuwen?"

This seems to be a double entendre.

Bei Yuan also smiled and said, "I am not making a wish, how can I know? But today's competition is of great importance, I think the wish should not be nonsense."

Bei Yuan spoke calmly, but his eyes were filled with excitement.

Yes! That's how it should be.

An arrow was shot and took Song Xiuwen's life!

Although the Song family has many descendants, only Song Xiuwen is likely to be capable of taking on important tasks.

Song Xiuwen died at the hands of Xu Yuan, and Song Tiancheng and Xu Yuan had a relationship of life and death.

When the time comes, the snipe and the clam will fight each other, and only he will benefit.

"Brother, what you mean is that the arrow of the wish is aimed at the target?"

"Could it be that my royal brother thinks that the arrow of the wish is aimed at Song Xiuwen?"

Although he hoped that Xu Yuan would kill Song Xiuwen as he said, Bei Yuan also understood that Xu Yuan was cautious and would not act impulsively without finding a way to retreat.

"She was aiming at the arrow that was shot at her. If Song Xiuwen didn't want to kill him, the arrow was aimed at the target behind Song Xiuwen. If Song Xiuwen wanted to kill her, the arrow could block the assassination and also injure Song Xiuwen."

Bei Yao moved his gaze back to the horse farm.

The two men still held their bows and arrows, aiming their arrows at each other.

It seems like a confrontation, but also like they are just aiming at the target behind the other party.

The horses with the targets were still moving.

However, the tip of Song Xiuwen's arrow was always aimed at Xuyuan.

Xu Yuan's hands were almost sore. Seeing that Song Xiuwen was not moving, she shouted loudly: "Song Xiuwen, are you going to shoot that arrow or not?"

Song Xiuwen paused, then the tip of the arrow turned slightly, and the arrow flew out and hit the target behind Xu Yuan.

The horses started running again.

Xuyuan took out three more arrows and aimed at another running horse.

Behind her, Song Xiuwen drew his bow and arrow again.

Xuyuan did not look back, and the arrow was always aimed forward, aiming and shooting.

Right in the bull's eye.

She turned around and was about to take the remaining arrows when a feathered arrow came towards her.

Just a moment.

Making a wish was like being frozen in time, with no response at all.

In the stands, many people opened their mouths wide, as if they had not expected that Song Xiuwen would actually dare to shoot in public.

Bei Yao's fingers moved slightly.

The smile on Bei Yuan's lips deepened.

Just make a wish and sit calmly on the horse.

The arrow just grazed her sleeve and missed the target.

Not hearing the expected scream, Song Xiuwen tilted his head slightly, trying to identify the location of the wish.

Killing in public.

Song Xiuwen is not that stupid.

All he wanted to do was scare someone into making a wish.

A normal person would have lost his soul if frightened like this.

What else can we compete for?

But Song Xiuwen did not hear the sound of making a wish.

He wanted to take off his veil to see, but the competition was not over yet.

Xuyuan never said anything and continued to draw his arrow.

The slightest sound was blocked by the sound of horse hooves until three arrows hit the bull's eye.

Song Xiuwen suddenly came back to his senses.

He didn't hurt Xuyuan, and Xuyuan was never scared by him.

why?

Xu Yuan turned over and dismounted. Seeing Song Xiuwen touching the arrow and trying to make amends, he couldn't help but laugh: "Mr. Song, there is no need to compete. You lose."

"How is that possible?! You only shot four arrows!"

Song Xiuwen counted the mistakes.

Only four beeps.

Therefore, even though he knew that he would miss the arrow if he aimed at Xuyuan, Song Xiuwen did not hesitate.

Because, if Xuyuan is frightened, he would have difficulty even drawing the bow, let alone aiming at the target.

But now Xuyuan says he lost?

Song Xiuwen didn't believe it.

"If you don't believe me, take off your veil and you will see."

Song Xiuwen took off his veil and was stunned when he saw ten feather arrows with red ribbons floating on them: "How is it possible..."

There were only four sounds.

I clearly wished to only shoot four arrows, how is it possible that... I shot ten arrows?

Moreover, all of them hit the bull's eye.

"I know that your archery skills are unmatched in the capital. Blindfolding does increase the difficulty, but for you, it is just a common thing. You know very well that if you play normally, you will definitely win."

Xu Yuan looked at Song Xiuwen and spoke in a calm tone.

"Therefore, this competition is never about psychological warfare. Even if your arrows are not aimed at me, my arrows will still be aimed at you."

The moment Xu Yuan closed one eye and looked at Song Xiuwen, everything became clearer.

"After being blindfolded, one's hearing will be more outstanding, especially for you. Once my arrow deflects and the sound is heard beside you, you will know that my intention is to kill you. In this case, it is not surprising to kill you in return. So, my bet is that Song Xiuwen values ​​his reputation and will not kill me in public. He will only scare me. It would be best if I could not hold the bow and arrow and admit defeat on my own initiative."

Xuyuan clapped his hands lightly, afraid to shake off the dust on his palms.

"I just didn't expect that Master Song would be so impatient. Why would he waste an arrow instead of just taking care of it?"

Xu Yuan smiled, pulled out the arrow and waved it in front of Song Xiuwen.

Song Xiuwen stared at Xu Yuan, his eyes almost bursting with fire.

"Make a wish, you're despicable!"

Song Xiuwen understood.

Even if he was not prepared to attack Xu Yuan, Xu Yuan would tempt him to do so.

Xuyuan never thought he could win.

What she is betting on is people's hearts.

"Despicable?" Xu Yuan smiled. She walked closer and saw Song Xiuwen's face was livid. She said lightly, "That's more upright than when the Song family went to Sishui County to pick up Miss Song San, right?"

Song Xiuwen gripped the whip tightly, veins bulging on his arms.

"Song Xiuwen, I have always remembered that you hired someone to kill someone in order to get the position of a general who went south to suppress bandits. Even if you didn't come to me today, I would not let you off easily. I have no other advantages, but there is one good thing about me, which is that I will never give up. Now it's time for you to fulfill your promise, apologize, and leave Wenhua Palace."

"you……"

"You were the one who proposed the competition, and you accepted the prize. So, you want to go back on your word, right?"

For a moment, Song Xiuwen felt that no matter what he said, he was wrong.

Yes, it was he who proposed the competition, but he was not the one who agreed to the prize.

Moreover, Song Xiuwen never thought that he would lose this competition!
