Chapter 152 The Emperor's Favored Concubine is Heartbroken (48)

"Prince Jing, the arrow just fired was just a warning. If Your Majesty does anything wrong or behaves improperly in the future, I will report it to His Majesty and he will make the final decision." Huo Haochu said sternly.

Staring at the familiar figure of the man in front of her, Shen Qingjiao was overjoyed and called out, "General!"

She had never felt so eager to meet Huo Haochu before.

He arrived just in time. With him around, she no longer had to endure the nausea of ​​trying to seduce Prince Jing.

Huo Haochu nodded slightly towards Shen Qingjiao, "Is Concubine Shen all right?"

"I'm fine. Fortunately, the general came at the right time." Shen Qingjiao said with a smile.

Huo Haochu breathed a sigh of relief, smiling as he said, "Protecting the Imperial Concubine is also one of my duties."

In fact, he came here because he wanted to pay some attention to Prince Jing.

It was because when he was investigating the underground arsenal in the capital, he found many clues pointing to Prince Jing.

Just now, he saw Prince Jing, after listening to a report from someone, ride his horse quietly away from the hunting range.

Huo Haochu became suspicious and followed from a distance.

Then, he discovered that Prince Jing was actually trying to desecrate Concubine Shen, so he quickly took action and shot an arrow to warn him.

While Huo Haochu was confirming whether Shen Qingjiao was okay, Prince Jing held his waist and stood up with difficulty.

He looked at Huo Haochu sitting on his horse, looking majestic in his iron armor, his figure as tall as a towering mountain.

He fell off his horse, his clothes were disheveled and covered with straw, and he looked in a terrible state.

Prince Jing took a deep breath, endured the pain and mounted the horse again.

As soon as he sat firmly, he couldn't wait to wave the whip, ignored Huo Haochu, and fled in panic.

After this incident, Shen Qingjiao no longer dared to wander around alone, and said to Huo Haochu, "I will go back to the camp and rest first."

Seeing the obvious panic in her eyes, Huo Haochu felt pity for her and said gently, "I will follow you until you return safely."

Hearing this, Shen Qingjiao felt much more at ease.

She smiled at Huo Haochu and said, "Thank you, General."

Gazing at that beautiful face, Huo Haochu's heart was moved again.

He sighed slightly. He was a subject and she was the emperor's favorite concubine. There would be no future between them.

Huo Haochu forced himself to suppress the romantic thoughts in his heart and rode quietly behind Shen Qingjiao.

evening.

The emperor and his men returned with a full load, including hares, wolves, sika deer, and even a wild boar.

The cook was processing the hunted prey by first gutting it, then cleaning it and roasting it on a wooden rack over a fire. The aroma of meat wafted out.

Prince Jing rolled his eyes, suddenly walked up to the emperor, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, now that I have some free time, I would like to compete with General Huo in archery to add some fun to everyone."

"Oh," Ye Junhong was a little surprised, "Uncle wants to compete with General Huo in archery?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, please allow me." Prince Jing said firmly.

Seeing how persistent he was, Ye Junhong turned to look at Huo Haochu and asked in a gentle voice.

"General Huo, are you willing to compete with my uncle in archery? But I have to remind you that my uncle is an excellent archer and never misses a shot. He is a famous warrior in the royal family. General Huo should make a decision carefully."

Shen Qingjiao, who was standing by, saw it clearly.

It was obvious that this morning, in order to save her, Huo Haochu shot an arrow at Prince Jing's horse, which startled the horse and caused Prince Jing to fall off the horse and lose face.

Now, Prince Jing proposed to compete with Huo Haochu in archery. He must be planning to use his strengths to get back at square one and embarrass Huo Haochu in public.

Huo Haochu also understood Prince Jing's thoughts.

But, Prince Jing seemed to be certain that he would lose to him?

A sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, but that might not be the case.

Huo Haochu bowed to Ye Junhong and said, "I am not talented, but I am willing to give it a try."

"Well done, General Huo!" Ye Junhong praised, with admiration in his eyes.

Eunuch Wang Mingqing immediately ordered people to prepare targets and bows and arrows.

After the eunuchs prepared the targets, Ye Junhong said loudly, "Uncle, General Huo, who will go first?"

Huo Haochu looked at Prince Jing and made a gesture of invitation, "Your Highness, please go first."

Prince Jing glanced at Huo Haochu with contempt but did not refuse.

He planned to let this young man see his archery skills and understand what it means that "there is always someone better than you".

He bent his bow and nocked an arrow.

With a whoosh, an arrow hit the bull's eye.

Everyone applauded.

Prince Jing looked at Huo Haochu arrogantly, trying to see a hint of panic on Huo Haochu's face.

But he miscalculated. Huo Haochu's eyes were calm, as if nothing in this world was worth making him nervous or scared.

Prince Jing sneered. Are you still pretending? Young people just don't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is.

Huo Haochu ignored Prince Jing.

He casually pulled an arrow from the quiver, pulled it easily, and the bow was like a full moon.

When he let go again, the arrow flew like a meteor, splitting the arrow shot by Prince Jing in two halves and then sank into the center of the bull's eye.

The crowd was in an uproar.

Such eyesight and accuracy are unprecedented.

Shen Qingjiao couldn't help but exclaimed, "What a great archery skill!"

This arrow was unstoppable and it actually knocked down the sharp arrow on the target, reducing Prince Jing's point to zero. Huo Haochu's operation was really brilliant.

Prince Jing was so angry that he gnashed his teeth. Huo Haochu was going to humiliate him in public!

Damn it, he couldn't let others step on his face and steal the spotlight in front of everyone.

After thinking for a while, Prince Jing said coldly, "In the next round, please let General Huo go first."

He thought that as long as he shot the arrow after Huo Haochu, Huo Haochu would not be able to break his arrow.

Huo Haochu glanced at Prince Jing indifferently and did not refuse.

He drew out another arrow, drew his bow and put the arrow on it, his eyes sharp.

A hissing sound.

The arrow left the bow so fast that only a shadow was left, and the sound of breaking wind was even louder than before.

There was a loud snap.

The arrow hit the bull's eye of the target accurately, but its momentum did not diminish. It went straight through the bull's eye and sank into the crack in the stone on the ground.

The whole place fell into silence.

After a long while, everyone finally reacted and burst into thunderous applause.

Prince Jing saw Huo Haochu shoot the target with his own eyes, and his face suddenly became solemn.

It's Prince Jing's turn.

He stood in front of the target, pulled out the long arrow, took a deep breath, and used all his strength to pull the bow hard.

There was a click.

The arrow hit the bull's eye.

Under normal circumstances, such a result would surely astonish everyone, but with Huo Haochu's excellent performance as an example, this performance pales in comparison.

There was sparse applause all around.

Prince Jing's hands trembled slightly.

He walked aside to make room for Huo Haochu.

Round three.

Huo Haochu shot another arrow.

Just like the last time, the long arrow first hit the bull's eye and then pierced through the target.

Looking at the same result, Prince Jing's face turned pale and his lips trembled.

It's Prince Jing's turn.

This time, he searched through the quiver for a long time before he found an arrow that he thought was pretty good.

He put the arrow on the bowstring and pulled hard.

With a buzzing sound, the long arrow flew out.

However, the result this time was beyond everyone's expectations.

Prince Jing's arrow just hit the edge of the bull's eye, but missed the bull's heart.
