Chapter 137 Living Target
Chapter 137 Living Target
When the red cloth was lifted, everyone saw that the plate contained only a tiny cherry.
This……
Everyone turned to look at Prince Min.
He's being way too ruthless!
In the past, when they practiced archery on live targets, they would at least use an apple the size of a fist.
But Prince Min...
He Yuyan looked at the tiny cherry and was deeply moved.
Does Prince Min want her dead or Wu Weiwei dead?
Even though the crown prince is known for his perfect aim, he was able to overpower all the other contenders and win the championship in the hunt.
But that's because the target is big enough and easy to grasp.
Now, King Min only took a small cherry and had one of them balance it on their head.
Such a difficult challenge, is he trying to kill someone?
She looked at the Crown Prince.
Let's take a look at Wu Weiwei.
The latter's gaze met hers.
Wu Weiwei saw that He Yuyan's lips were bloodless and trembling slightly like two withered petals.
Her slightly furrowed brows added to her melancholy.
Haha, so that's how scared she was.
However, the two are now in the same boat, so if Lu Hanting loses...
As the crown prince's concubine, she and He Yuyan were both in dire straits, facing either death or injury.
Unless King Min spares one of them.
But judging from his appearance, he probably won't let them go.
"Lu Hanting, have you decided which concubine you'll choose as your live target?"
Seeing Lu Hanting's slightly furrowed brows, Min Wang asked cheerfully.
He Yuyan, leaning against Lu Hanting's chest, trembled.
"Yan'er, do you believe me?"
Lu Hanting cupped her face in his hands and said gently.
"Sir..."
He Yuyan looked at him.
Was he asking this to make her a sitting duck?
No, she doesn't want it.
She was the woman he loved most; he wouldn't treat her like that.
He Yuyan's eyes were filled with anticipation, but her heart was filled with more fear.
"Yan'er..."
Seeing that she didn't respond for a long time, Lu Hanting's eyes gradually turned cold.
"Your Highness, of course Yan'er believes in you."
But, but Yan'er is really scared..."
Seeing that Lu Hanting's gaze was growing colder, He Yuyan suddenly looked at Wu Weiwei.
"Your Highness, Aunt Wu, Aunt Wu loves you so much."
Perhaps you could ask her; I think she would definitely be willing…
In her haste, He Yuyan pushed the matter onto Wu Weiwei.
It's widely rumored that the Crown Prince is a skilled rider, but that's one thing.
Being good doesn't mean he won't make mistakes.
She didn't love Lu Hanting, and she didn't want anything from Prince Min.
Why should she be made a pointless sacrifice?
He Yuyan's words brought a slight hint of sarcasm to Wu Wei's lips.
"Ms. Wu, what do you have to say?"
Lu Hanting looked at her.
Today's bet was made so that Wei'er would agree to it. If Yan'er declined out of fear, that would be understandable.
What about Ke Wei'er?
She has no reason to refuse, right?
Seeing Lu Hanting's matter-of-fact attitude, Wu Weiwei was secretly amused and annoyed.
That's right, she did ask him to help her take over Prince Min's Jade Deer Manor.
There are many ways to win, so why did he choose a bet?
Was it confidence in his riding and archery skills, or did he simply not care about the lives of his concubines?
Wu Weiwei looked back at him.
"Your Highness, you are the hero I admire, and I believe you will never let me suffer any harm."
Since Sister He is unwilling to be a sitting duck, then I will be.
Does she have a choice?
Rather than being pushed out by him, I'd rather volunteer to lead the team myself.
This might actually earn him some favor.
However, she's being so proactive, so she definitely can't afford to be taken advantage of.
Wu Weiwei looked at He Yuyan, who was still nestled in the prince's arms.
"Your Highness, may I make a request?"
Wu Weiwei's words pleased Lu Hanting greatly.
He pushed He Yuyan aside and looked at her.
"You said."
"I agree to be this live target. If the young master wins the bet, can all the spoils go to Wei'er?"
Upon hearing her request, He Yuyan's face turned pale.
"Aunt Wu, your appetite is far too big!"
So all her worries and anxieties, and all the prince's busy work, were ultimately for her benefit?
Wu Weiwei is so shameless!
Seeing He Yuyan's indignant expression.
Wu Weiwei chuckled and said, "Sister He, if you're not satisfied, how about I give you this opportunity?"
"me……"
She doesn't want to be a sitting duck.
Who knows if the Crown Prince will make a mistake?
If she doesn't participate, she might still have a chance to live, but if she becomes a sitting duck, then...
Seeing that she couldn't speak for a long time, Wu Weiwei turned to look at Lu Hanting.
"Your Highness, what do you think of my request?"
Lu Hanting twitched his lips.
This little woman is so greedy.
However, since she trusted him, he was naturally willing to agree.
"Okay, I promise you."
Those around them, listening to Lu Hanting's conversation with his concubine, found it unbelievable.
Especially Prince Min.
What makes Lu Hanting think he can win?
Once He Yuyan or Wu Weiwei dies by his arrows, we'll see if he can still laugh.
"Alright, now that you've reached an agreement, let's begin!"
On the open campsite.
Dressed in riding attire, Wu Weiwei stood dashingly in the middle of the platform.
She wore a red hat with peacock feathers, topped with a luscious red cherry.
When Wu Weiwei received the hat, she knew what Min Wang was planning.
He must have done it on purpose.
The hat is red, and the cherries are also red; they're all the same color, so they're hard to distinguish.
Moreover, the cherries are so small, which not only tests the shooter's eyesight but also their composure.
Wu Weiwei made a silent vow in her heart.
If she escapes this calamity today, she will definitely make Prince Min pay.
Fifty meters outside the field from the high platform.
Lu Hanting rode his Akhal-Teke horse in circles outside the stadium.
He narrowed his eyes and stared at the beautiful woman on the high platform, who stood tall and exuded elegance.
A subtle emotion suddenly welled up inside me.
Unexpectedly, Vera believed so much that she was willing to be his live target.
You know, unless he misses.
Otherwise, if his arrow had missed even slightly, she might have lost her life.
She must love herself very much to choose to believe him.
However, he certainly wouldn't let her down.
A large crowd of onlookers has now gathered at the campsite.
Everyone was speculating about who would win the bet.
These people even started placing bets right in front of King Min.
"Mingtang, light the incense."
After the incense was lit, King Min looked at the confident man riding a horse in the distance.
"Lu Hanting, you only have a quarter of an hour, so you'd better hurry."
Then everyone saw the man on horseback light the incense and begin galloping wildly along the perimeter of the horse farm.
Standing in the middle of the venue, Wu Weiwei appeared calm on the outside, but her heart was in turmoil.
Although she readily agreed, she didn't say she'd risk her life for money!
Seeing Lu Hanting staring intently at her, she felt her legs tremble like a leaf.
As Lu Hanting rode around for the third time, he drew a bow and arrow from his back and aimed it at Wu Weiwei.
