Today, if Xiao Huayong really fell off the bridge, or died as a result of this incident, even if Your Majesty showed the slightest hesitation in not trying to rescue him, Your Majesty's reputation as a brother killer would spread. So many people, are they going to be slaughtered overnight
With so many people present, anyone can spread rumors because it is difficult to find out who is behind the incident.
Emperor Youning unequivocally acknowledged Xiao Huayong's identity, which prevented Emperor Youning from using this incident to make a fuss when he wanted to depose the crown prince in the future. He would definitely not admit that he killed his brother, but he would cover up the killing of his brother and question Xiao Huayong's background. In this way, it would be easy for His Majesty to depose the crown prince.
Xiao Huayong has already begun paving the way for a head-on confrontation with His Majesty in the future, and is gradually destroying any ways His Majesty can attack him.
"What a touching father-son love." Xiao Juesong said with a mocking tone, his eyes slightly cold, and he tilted his head slightly.
The man behind him drew his bow and shot arrows in one go. Several stray arrows flew towards him. Xiao Huayong tried his best to dodge, but one arrow still grazed his shoulder, and blood quickly seeped into the light-colored cloth on his arm.
Shen Xihe's eyes turned cold. She snatched the bow and arrow from the guard next to her, put an arrow on the bow, and shot the arrow high over Xiao Juesong and others and disappeared behind them. A guard holding a bow and arrow rolled out of the bushes, with an arrow shot between his eyebrows, and blood flowed.
Everyone was stunned by this scene, including Shen Xihe herself. She was well aware of her archery level. This bow even exceeded the load of her normal training. She barely managed to shoot an arrow, and her hanging arm was still shaking uncontrollably.
She didn't expect to hit anyone at all, she just felt that Xiao Juesong had annoyed her, especially the blood on Xiao Huayong's shoulder, which made her feel inexplicably angry in her chest, so she impulsively shot the arrow.
Xiao Huayong pulled the rope of the suspension bridge tightly, looked back and saw this scene, the corners of his lips couldn't help but rise, and there was a flickering starlight in his eyes.
Xiao Changying was a little dazed. He looked at the person who was shot by Shen Xihe for a moment, then slowly turned his head and looked at Shen Xihe.
Xiao Juesong also stared at the corpse that rolled not far away for a while, then he raised his head and squinted at Shen Xihe: "A tiger father will have a dog daughter. The daughter of the incomparable Northwest King has lived up to your father's prestige."
"Don't hurt him." Shen Xihe raised her chin slightly, her back straight, her eyebrows light, and her voice cold, "I will return the arrow I shot you just now. If he is hurt by you or your people again, I will whip your corpse. If he falls from here, I want you to be crushed to ashes and die in peace."
The girl's voice was like the clouds under the blue sky, natural and calm. She did not grit her teeth or speak harshly, but stated her determination to do what she said in the calmest tone.
Xiao Juesong was stunned for a moment, but surprisingly he was not angry. What could a dying man not be upset about
However, Shen Xihe's words did threaten him. He didn't want to be tortured like this after his death and not even have a decent burial.
He did not respond to Shen Xihe's words, but Emperor Youning had already stepped onto the suspension bridge at this time. He walked steadily and quickly approached Xiao Huayong. Everyone looked tense, and Xiao Changying was ready to fight.
