A red apricot is about to cheat on you

Chapter 104 Acting as a Living Target

The man was furious and pointed his finger at Yi Duoer and cursed, "You little bastard, I think you're looking for death."

This noise startled everyone present. They wondered, "How dare they be so bold? The Emperor and the Regent are still here! And yet they are so ignorant of the rules! Such a noise and a commotion!"

However, most people still like to watch the excitement and don't mind the big things. An Tingfeng subconsciously protected Yi Duoer behind him. His eyes showed a hint of anger, and he looked at the other party fiercely and scolded in an extremely cold tone:

"Ling Changbai, I think you're the one seeking death. Apologize to him!"

The man thought he had misheard, but was actually asked to apologize to a servant. The young and hot-headed man roared in anger in front of the emperor.

"How dare you!" The emperor's shouting interrupted their quarrel. The emperor was so angry that everyone below knelt down straight.

In unison, "Your Majesty, calm down!"

Seeing that he had the situation under control, the emperor told the two men not to show off their power here, but to go to the hunting ground to show their true strength if they had the ability.

The man couldn't say anything more than Yi Duo'er and the others, and with some anger still lingering in his heart, he squinted his eyes at An Tingfeng and said, "An Tingfeng, do you have what it takes to compete with me? If you win, I can ignore the scolding your follower just gave me. If you lose, then he must accept my punishment!"

A hint of coldness flashed across Yi Duoer's eyes. An Tingfeng wanted to refuse, but the emperor was eager to watch the fun and took the initiative to speak and agreed on An Tingfeng's behalf.

After hearing this, An Tingfeng clasped his fists and saluted the emperor, as if asking him to take back his decision. He disdained to let a woman become a living target in their fight.

Yi Duoer suddenly sensed something was wrong and stopped him, signaling with her eyes that he should agree to it, so as not to anger the emperor. She then whispered, "I believe you. That little jerk is obviously no match for you!"

The two looked at each other, and understood each other tacitly. Then An Tingfeng agreed and said coldly to the man: "What do you want to compete?"

The man showed a proud look, glanced at the target over there, thought for a moment, and then slowly said: "I heard that Master An's archery skills are not bad. I would like to learn a few things. Is it possible?"

"Okay, if you lose, you have to apologize to him!" An Tingfeng agreed without hesitation. Shen Mingzhu also made an inappropriate sound at this moment.

"I don't know what's so special about this follower that he can be protected by his master. It seems that he is really special in the heart of Prince An!" Her tone was very calm, and it happened to fall into Chu Jingchen's ears.

The next moment, his eyes narrowed slightly and he looked at An Tingfeng.

The man walked up to An Tingfeng with a bow in his hand and said proudly, "An Tingfeng, don't think that you can dominate alone just because you lead the Imperial Guards."

He refused to accept it. He was not inferior to An Tingfeng in any way. Why could he be the commander of the Imperial Guard? As the commander of the Imperial Guard, Yi Duoer was also an ally of An Tingfeng at the moment, so she stepped forward and pushed him away.

"Hey...you're so ugly, don't get so close to my master. He needs to have dinner tonight."

Yi Duo'er's words angered the man, who didn't know how to fight back. However, An Tingfeng couldn't help but smile.

The man grinned, raised his finger and pointed at the two of them, saying in a warning tone, "Just you wait..."

The man had a slave brought up and asked her to stand on the target side.

It was a little girl of fifteen or sixteen years old, wearing tattered clothes. She was shivering and curled up helplessly, with fear in her eyes.

Yi Duoer couldn't bear to let her be a living target, so she couldn't help but say, "Isn't it too cruel to use people as targets?"

The man fiddled with the bow in his hand, and said in a very disdainful tone, since it was a competition, it would naturally not be the same as usual. Anyway, there were plenty of slaves.

His arrogance, his disregard for human life, made Yi Duoer feel sick. She retorted, "You can't shoot just because you don't have a target? How dare you, such a rubbish as you are, compete with my young master? I think you'd better go home as soon as possible!"

Yi Duoer showed him no mercy at all. The man was very angry and couldn't help but step forward to kick Yi Duoer. An Tingfeng stopped him.

The emperor watched, sighing inwardly, "How could these young people be so impetuous?" The men who didn't take advantage could only stare at Yi Duo'er.

Yi Duoer responded to him with a smug look.

Then she resolutely walked to the target, took the apple from the slave's hand, and raised it above her head. When everyone saw this, they exclaimed, "Is she crazy?"

Yi Duoer said loudly in a threatening tone, "Since we are using people as targets, then we should naturally use the servant closest to the master. This time, I will do it. When it is your turn, please ask Guard Ling to find someone you trust more."

An Tingfeng hadn't expected this woman to be so bold. He wanted her to come back, but after she said that, there was no way to take it back.

The man showed a contemptuous look, thinking that he was just a servant. If his hand accidentally slipped and shot her to death, then so be it. It would just relieve the bad anger in his heart.

Unexpectedly, Yi Duoer said in a threatening tone:

"I believe that Guard Ling's archery skills are superb. Today is a grand hunting event. I believe that Guard Ling will not offend the royal family and let blood be shed here, which is so unlucky. My lord, if I can't go back with you today, please definitely forget me."

Yi Duoer emphasized the words "definitely, definitely" so that people could tell that she must avenge herself.

The man lost his composure when he heard her say that. He wanted to shoot him directly. He was quite smart. If he really killed him.

Even if it was an open mistake, blood would still be splattered on the spot, which would be an offense to the royal family. An Tingfeng was not someone to be trifled with. If he really wanted this servant, the power of the Jing'an Marquis Mansion should not be underestimated.

For a moment, the man was in a dilemma. He had already set his bow, and cold sweat was pouring down his face. His focus was also becoming blurry.

After a moment, he calmed down, looked sharply at the apple on Yi Duoer's head, slowly pulled the arrow and aimed at the target.

At this moment, everyone held their breath, and couldn't help but sweat for Yi Duoer. Yi Duoer looked at the man calmly.

She was sure that the man would not dare to kill him now. Since he dared to compete with An Tingfeng in archery, his archery skills would definitely not be bad, even if they were not the best!

The slave who was pushed away by Yi Duoer was looking at her with a worried look on her face. She was extremely frightened and prayed silently, hoping that her benefactor would be able to come down safely.

His arrow shot out, and at the critical moment, a chopstick suddenly flew out, snapping...

He knocked the arrow shot by the man to the ground, and everyone exclaimed!

At this moment, Yi Duoer heard the sound and opened her eyes. Seeing that the apple on her head was safe and sound, she thought he had missed the target. But her eyes followed the crowd to look up at Chu Jingchen.

It was he who knocked down the arrow shot by the man. Even though the man was unwilling, he did not dare to question him.

"A slave's life is also a life! From now on, no one is allowed to use human lives as living targets. Anyone who knowingly commits this offense will be severely punished!"
