Ouyang Ming smiled and said,
"It's because I'm in trouble, and I'm not as considerate as Madam."
Nie Chen smiled and said,
"It's okay. Your Majesty, you can stay here. Anyway, this place is big. Everyone will stay here tonight. We will discuss military affairs tomorrow. There are still many things to deal with in the capital."
"yes!"
After everyone drank for a while and had a good time, it was already getting late and King Pingxi took his generals back to live in Prince Pingxi's Mansion.
Everyone on Nie Chen's side stayed directly at his home.
After everyone was settled, Nie Chen walked towards the backyard. He was the owner of this palace and must live in the master bedroom.
The master bedroom is very large, separated from the front hall by several yards, and is located in the middle.
When Nie Chen walked to the door, he saw the lights on in the master bedroom, and Weng Qiuchan, holding her compound bow in her hand and carrying an arrow pot behind her, stood at the door, waiting for Nie Chen to come back.
When Nie Chen saw Weng Qiuchan, he smiled and said,
"Is everything settled over there, Madam?"
"Well, we've settled in. Your Majesty has already rested after dinner. I'll ask some of our maids to serve her first, and I'll find some maids tomorrow."
Weng Qiuchan said calmly.
"Okay, let's go and rest too. It's been a really tiring day. Why are you holding a bow and arrow without resting in the middle of the night?"
"It's okay, let's practice archery. I haven't shot an arrow in a long time, so I'm a little rusty."
Nie Chen was startled when he heard this. What kind of archery are you practicing in the middle of the night? Still very busy.
Suddenly, Weng Qiuchan in front of him quickly pulled out an arrow from the arrow pot behind his back and shot it towards Nie Chen's face.
Weng Qiuchan was an expert archer and was extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, the arrow hit Nie Chen's eyes.
Nie Chen was shocked and turned away. The arrow directly hit a pillar in the garden.
He suddenly woke up from the drunkenness, looked at Weng Qiuchan with his mouth open, and said,
"Are you crazy?!"
Weng Qiuchan said coldly,
"Nie Chen, there are a total of ten arrows in my arrow pot. If these ten arrows fail to kill you, I will spare you!"
After speaking, Weng Qiuchan took out an arrow again, put it on the bow, and shot towards Nie Chen.
Nie Chen was shocked, turned around and ran away.
It's over, this woman is crazy and wants to murder her husband!
"Stop! Don't run!"
Weng Qiuchan hurriedly chased after him and set a third arrow.
He shot towards Nie Chen.
But it still missed, so Nie Chen moved around, running and hiding.
The movement here immediately attracted the attention of the guards and shadow guards. The guards drew their swords and rushed towards Nie Chen.
"Lord, are there assassins?"
Nie Chen ignored them and didn't call for help. He went straight to the front hall to avoid the pursuit behind him.
When the guards and shadow guards saw the pursuers appearing around the corner, they immediately prepared themselves for battle. However, when they saw the figure of the incoming man, they quickly put down their knives and repeating crossbows.
"Meet Madam!"
"Step aside!"
Weng Qiuchan pushed them away, continued to draw his bow and arrow, and shot Nie Chen. The guards saw Weng Qiuchan's arrow and missed Nie Chen again.
"What...what's going on?"
A guard looked up and asked the shadow guard on the wall.
The Shadow Guard also looked confused, shook his head and said,
"I don't know, maybe it's... the prince and his wife's little love interest?"
"Um... Is the hobby of a big shot so unusual? Are they having a lot of fun?"
"It doesn't look like she's just joking. Looking at Madam's face, she really wants to shoot the prince to death. Is something really going to happen to the prince?"
"Do you want to protect the prince?"
Everyone started discussing each other word by word.
At this time, Qi Huan came over and asked,
"What are you doing here?"
Everyone told the story.
After Qi Huan heard this, he was startled for a moment, then shook his head and said,
"Don't worry, the prince will be fine."
"Boss, why are you so sure?"
The shadow guard on the wall asked.
Qi Huan sneered and said,
"Okay, you are all protecting the lord personally. I should tell you some things and let you learn to use your brains.
Let me ask you, my wife's archery skills are known to the whole army as a master archer. She can penetrate the Yangtze without missing a beat at a hundred steps. She has killed countless enemy soldiers. Do you all know this? "
"You know, our archery skills are nothing compared to Madam's."
"Yes, but she failed to hit the Lord with several arrows. What does it mean?"
"It means Madam is joking."
"By the way, let me ask you again, when the master was escaping, did he call for help? Did he give you an order to take down the wife?"
"Uh...no."
"Isn't that enough? With my wife's archery skills, if I want to kill the lord, do you think the lord can run away?
This is the palace, the lord's home. How can the lord be assassinated by his wife here? If he wanted to stop his wife, he would just shout, "Shadow Guards, bodyguards, and generals, can't they take down a woman?" "
"Ah? That's it. I understand, I understand, so what part are they singing?"
Qi Huan smiled leisurely and said,
"My lord must have made the madam angry for some reason. He is letting the madam vent her anger. One of them is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer. Why are you worrying so much?
From now on, keep your eyes bright and your brain sharp. Follow your master every day. You will inevitably do things for him often. Being stupid is not good.
The most important thing when being a guard is to keep in mind that the first is to protect the lord's safety, and the second is not to get involved in the lord's family affairs, otherwise you won't be able to chop off your heads.
I will only say these words once, so let’s forget about it. "
"Yes, yes, thank you General Qi."
The guards quickly dispersed.
On the other side, Nie Chen was still being chased, running from the backyard to the front hall, and then from the front hall back to the backyard.
And Weng Qiuchan still had the last arrow in his hand.
Nie Chen really didn't want to run away, so he went directly into the master bedroom, sat on the chair, and poured tea while panting.
Weng Qiuchan walked in, locked the door, then walked up to Nie Chen, raised her bow and arrow, and aimed the last arrow at Nie Chen's head.
"No more running. I'm too tired. If you want to kill, just kill him. I really can't run anymore."
Nie Chen smiled and looked at Weng Qiuchan in front of him.
What a smart man he was, he had long thought that Weng Qiuchan must have known about him and the Queen Mother, which was why he was so angry.
So he ran away deliberately to let Weng Qiuchan vent his anger.
Weng Qiuchan looked at Nie Chen coldly, then dropped the bow and arrow in his hand, stood up and sat across the table, crossed his arms, turned his head and sulked.
Nie Chen stood up with a smile, sat next to Weng Qiuchan, picked him up, put him on his lap, and said with a smile,
"Are you still angry?"
"Shouldn't I be angry? You are already looking for a vixen outside, and you still ask me to serve that vixen. Shouldn't I be angry? Can't I be angry? I have already done my best by not killing you!"
