The man she imprisoned was a white-skinned

Although Meng Ziyan was poisoned, people from the Ministry of Rites arrived in Beiliang early.

Meng Xuanhe could see everyone's faces clearly in his dream.

The riding and archery field in the Beiliang Palace is different from the perfunctory one in Nanmeng. Beiliang relied on martial arts and riding and archery to gain power, and the entire riding and archery field is extremely spacious and prosperous.

Emperor Xie Yu of Northern Liang sat on the highest seat, overlooking everything in the entire archery field. The man on the dragon throne was in his prime, having already lost the impulsiveness of his youth, and was noble and elegant, looking down on the world.

It gives people a solemn and dignified feeling, as if he were the master of a country.

This was the first time that Meng Xuanhe had the feeling of facing the emperor. Meng Ziyan's half-baked appearance made it impossible for people to evoke such a solemn emotion.

Sitting on the high seat with Xie Yu was the current Queen Zhuangsu of Beiliang, Yu.

Yu was wearing a red palace gown embroidered with glazed beads. The hem of the gown fell softly to the ground. The bright red gown was embroidered with golden-red peonies, with fine silver threads outlining the delicate contours, making it look dignified and luxurious.

Although she is over 40 years old, she still has her charm and dignity. No wonder she has been favored by the Emperor of Beiliang for so many years.

Meng Xuanhe thought with emotion and turned his gaze to another place.

Among the envoys from Nanmeng, there was a group of people with extremely strong archery skills.

Because Beiliang had always been superior to Nanmeng in horse riding and archery, Meng Ziyan was so angry that he could not vent his anger, so he specially trained a team of envoys, all of whom were proficient in horse riding and archery, in order to slap them in the face in the area where Beiliang was best.

And every time he chose to visit Beiliang, it was tantamount to slapping Beiliang in the face in front of the Emperor of Beiliang.

Over time, such rules became tacitly understood between the two countries.

Whenever an envoy from Nanmeng visited, the first thing to do was to compete in horse riding and archery.

"Queen, let me see if the prince's riding and archery have improved again."

The Emperor of Beiliang said with a gracious smile. Although it was a question, it also sounded like a statement, as if he had great confidence in Crown Prince Xie Jingce.

Yu also smiled proudly. Xie Jingce had always been the apple of her eye. She wished she could present the best things in the world to her son.

Xie Jingce also worked hard, whether he was reading poetry and books in the Imperial Academy or showing off his riding and archery skills in the annual autumn hunting ceremony, which always made Xie Yu very satisfied.

Previously, because the crown prince had not yet reached adulthood, he was not allowed to go to the horseback archery field and could not compete with the envoys of Nanmeng, which caused Beiliang to suffer repeated setbacks.

But now that Ce'er has completed his coming-of-age ceremony, I believe that this time when he meets Nan Meng, he will no longer be outshined by them.

The Emperor of Beiliang was confident of victory and felt very proud.

He looked expectantly at Xie Jingce who was holding a bow and arrow. Xie Jingce was dressed in a dark military uniform, looking upright, stern and majestic.

The bright light from the sky shone on the tall and graceful figure. Although her beauty was not as stunning as Xie Lin's, she also had a good-looking appearance.

He stood under the scorching sun and slowly pulled the longbow in his hand. The envoy of Nan Meng had just shot the bull's eye. It was a one-shot shot. He would never let Nan Meng offend Bei Liang.

The longbow was pulled with full force, and the arrow flew away with a steady and powerful force. Xie Jingce looked at the arrow with full confidence, waiting for it to fall straight into the bull's eye.

But the expected result did not happen. The arrow lost its power after flying for a while and fell down before hitting the target. It fell down slowly before even touching the target.

This is truly a great humiliation for someone who is proficient in riding and shooting.

The envoys of Nan Meng were stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter.

The face of the Northern Liang Emperor suddenly turned livid. Ce'er was always an excellent archer and rider, how could he be embarrassed in such a scene? He turned to look at the envoys of Nanmeng, who cast provocative eyes at him.

It seems that Nan Meng was the one who did it. The Emperor of Beiliang was so angry that his teeth were itching, but he couldn't find any handle on Nan Meng.

If he rashly exposed this matter at this time, he might even be despised by Nan Meng, who would say that he, Beiliang, could not afford to lose.

But the prince had lost face in front of the ministers of the two countries, and Xie Jingce himself was not feeling well. A hint of blue-gray appeared on his face, and even the hand holding the bow was shaking.

Xie Jingce's fingers were white, and for the first time he felt so weak standing in the sun. He was so weak that he couldn't even lift the bow, and fell straight to the ground.

Seeing that Xie Jingce was in poor condition, Empress Yu felt a pain in her heart. After getting permission from Emperor Beiliang, she ordered people to help Xie Jingce down.

But doing so would inevitably lead to ridicule from the envoys from Southern Meng.

As expected, the Nanmeng envoy raised his lips in mockery, and slowly said in the direction where Xie Jingce retreated: "So this is the Northern Liang prince who is superb in riding and shooting. It's just that his weak body needs more care, otherwise Northern Liang will be without an heir in the future."

Under the influence of Meng Ziyan, the envoys of the Southern Meng Kingdom became increasingly rampant, and their sarcastic remarks were unrestrained, causing the faces of the people from the Northern Liang present to change drastically.

The Emperor of Beiliang was furious, but he could do nothing about them. If the envoy of Nanmeng died in Beiliang today, the rumor that Beiliang killed him because he couldn't compete with them would spread throughout the two countries. The Emperor of Beiliang would never allow such a thing to happen.

Just when the Northern Liang Emperor was in a state of panic, a tall man suddenly appeared from behind the archery field. The man was riding a blood-fighting horse and stood still.

The long ink-black hair fluttered in the wind, and the image of a young man in bright clothes and riding a horse appeared on Xie Lin for the first time.

There seemed to be no focus in his cold and aloof eyes, and there was a calmness in his deep eyes.

Completely ignoring the astonishment of the people present, he ran straight from a distance, suddenly pulled the longbow in his hand, and three powerful arrows pierced through the ears of the Nanmeng envoy.

The arrow shot out of the bow with unstoppable momentum, breaking through one cloud after another and hitting the bull's eye.

Three arrows hit the red bull's eye steadily. Before everyone could come to their senses, Xie Lin had already jumped off his horse and saluted to the Emperor of Beiliang.

"Father, I am a little late. I hope I don't miss the competition with the envoy from Nanmeng."

Xie Lin's cold eyes swept across everyone present, and the officials of Beiliang came back to their senses and understood what had just happened in the blink of an eye.

They looked at Xie Lin with a little shock. Due to the interference of Queen Yu, Xie Lin had never shown his face in front of the court officials. He himself had always kept his abilities secret, and no one in the Northern Liang royal family knew that he had such outstanding martial arts and superb riding and archery skills.

Since Xie Lin had never appeared in the archery field before, his appearance caught the envoy of Nanmeng off guard.

Three arrows were shot simultaneously and hit the bull's eye on horseback. Is there such a master in Beiliang?

Everyone in Nanmeng State showed expressions of shock. The leading envoy reacted first and questioned the Emperor of Beiliang: "Emperor of Beiliang, didn't you say that today's contest would be between you and the Prince of Beiliang? Who is this person who suddenly appeared?"

The Emperor of Beiliang chuckled, with a matter-of-fact look on his face, but secretly he praised his son who had never been favored.

"This is my Beiliang Third Prince, Xie Lin. Since the Crown Prince is unwell, is there any problem with him competing on his behalf?"

The Emperor of Beiliang was very proud and swept an extremely cold aura of pressure over the envoys from Nanmeng.
