The Yan Kingdom has always advocated martial arts, and many monarchs were the best on the battlefield.
The empress Yan Lichu naturally inherited this tradition.
As a crown prince, she went through hardships, practiced martial arts diligently, and eventually became an outstanding warrior.
On the hunting ground, she is brave and fearless, commanding the heroes, demonstrating the majesty and magnanimity of the Empress of Yan.
At this hunting event, Yan Lichu specially chose a fierce white horse as his ride.
Wearing tailor-made gold armor, holding a long bow with an exquisite big swallow carved on it.
She surveyed the hunting grounds with firm eyes and confidence.
On the hunting ground, the heroes compete, and the scene is spectacular.
Yan Lichu followed closely behind, chasing a vigorous sika deer.
Her archery skills were as good as hers, she aimed at the deer's back and shot an arrow decisively.
The arrowhead penetrated the deer's heart accurately, and the sika deer fell to the ground instantly under the power of the arrowhead.
Yan Lichu's eyes were firm and she pulled out the arrowhead with her own hands. Blood flowed down her fingers, but she showed no fear.
Then he got on his horse and chased other prey again.
Yan Lichu's figure was like a flash of lightning on the hunting ground, heroic and awe-inspiring.
The arrows hit several prey one after another.
"Good archery skills!"
"Your Majesty is unparalleled in bravery, it is indeed a great blessing for the Yan Dynasty!"
"Your Majesty is so skilled in martial arts that I am ashamed of myself!"
The praises were endless. Yan Lichu smiled and nodded gently, but he remained vigilant in his heart.
She knew that the situation on the hunting ground today was turbulent and dangerous.
Su Ye couldn't help but secretly frown.
He understood that Yan Lichu had long been reborn and was no longer the frail princess.
But a queen who can stand alone.
As the hunting activities unfolded, the atmosphere became increasingly lively.
In order to compete for honor, the hunters showed off their best skills.
From time to time, prey fell to the ground, and cheers erupted from the scene.
At this moment, Assistant Minister Chen Mu suddenly shouted loudly:
"Prime Minister Su, I heard that Chu State advocates civilized rule. I don't know how good Prime Minister Su is in martial arts. Do you dare to compete with me?"
In his words, the word "Chu State" was deliberately emphasized.
As soon as this statement came out, the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
All the generals around him had fought against the Chu State, so the balance in their hearts naturally tilted towards Chen Mu.
Someone joked:
"Prime Minister Su is a civil servant, so don't let that white robe be stained with blood."
"Yes, Prime Minister Su's tiny arms might not even be able to pull the bow!"
"It's better not to bully others!"
Amidst the laughter, the atmosphere at the scene gradually became tense.
Yan Lichu even paused hunting, waiting for Su Ye's response.
If Su Ye refuses, she will immediately step forward to provide him with support.
Su Ye, in white clothes, has always relied on wisdom rather than force.
Su Ye's eyes narrowed slightly, and he understood that this was Chen Mu's deliberate provocation.
This move was undoubtedly another trap set by Chen Mu after cooperating with Wentianlou.
He smiled lightly and looked calm:
"Master Chen is so enthusiastic. If I refuse again, it will appear that I don't know how to appreciate him. I will show my disgrace!"
After saying this, Su Ye stood up and walked towards the hunting ground.
Su Ye has a tall and straight figure and steady steps. Although he is a civil servant, he has no fear.
Seeing Su Ye accepting the challenge, Chen Mu secretly rejoiced.
He had already laid a trap on the hunting ground, and if Su Ye was not careful, he would never come back.
On the hunting ground, Su Ye picked up his bow and arrow, aimed at the bullseye, and steadily drew the bowstring.
The arrowhead left the string, cut through the air, and landed accurately on the bullseye.
"Good archery skills!" There was praise from the crowd.
Su Ye smiled slightly, put down his bow and arrow, and glanced at everyone present.
Chen Mu's expression changed slightly. He had never expected that Su Ye had such profound martial arts.
"Prime Minister Su is indeed very skilled."
Chen Mu's provocation failed and he was quite unwilling.
"Thank you, Mr. Chen."
Su Ye responded modestly, but he was wary of his next move.
Wei Changfeng then spoke:
"On the hunting ground, just shooting at fixed targets cannot be called a skill. Is Prime Minister Su confident enough to hunt live animals?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he pointed to a wild boar in the woods nearby.
The deep forest and lush leaves seem to hide a crisis unknown to outsiders.
Su Ye smiled lightly, obviously having expected this scene.
He jumped onto his horse without hesitation, his white armor shining brightly in the sun.
Su Ye galloped towards where the wild boar was, his movements as vigorous as an eagle's.
Soon, he disappeared into the jungle.
Chen Mu felt happy when he saw that Su Ye had fallen into the trap.
On the hunting ground, swords are ruthless and injuries are inevitable.
Chen Mu couldn't help but exchange a look with Wei Rufeng, then rode his horse to follow Su Ye.
In an instant, Su Ye and Chen Mu disappeared from Yan Lichu's sight.
Yan Lichu's eyes flickered. She knew that Chen Mu and others intended to embarrass Su Ye, and she was secretly worried.
However, she did not say anything to stop him, wanting to see how Su Ye responded to this challenge.
The wild boar is very fast and quickly penetrates deep into the jungle.
Su Ye's eyes were as sharp as an eagle's eyes as he followed closely.
In the jungle, he carefully avoided sharp branches and leaves while paying close attention to the movements of wild boars.
Caught off guard, a group of black-clad killers appeared from the jungle and blocked Su Ye's way.
The killers were agile and the weapons in their hands shone with a cold light.
Su Ye's expression was serious, his white clothes were like snow, and he was not afraid at all.
The killers in black had cold eyes, exchanged glances with each other, and then launched an attack on Su Ye at the same time.
Obviously, these killers are Wentianlou assassins deployed by Chen Mu.
The intention was to kill Su Ye out of Yan Lichu's sight.
The assassins in Wentianlou are all top-notch masters.
Under the tight siege, even the bravest generals can't escape.
Chen Mu, who witnessed this scene, had a sinister smile on his face.
Today is the day of Su Ye’s death!
However, he obviously would not choose to stay at the scene to increase his own suspicion.
Chen Mu gritted his teeth decisively, cut his left arm with the sharp sword in his hand, and then quickly fled the scene.
He galloped to the main stage, fell off his horse in panic, covered his bloody wound, and knelt down in front of Yan Lichu:
"Your Majesty, something is wrong! There is an assassin!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.
The surrounding officials fell into panic and the scene was in chaos.
The empress's guards immediately drew their swords and formed a formation, guarding Yan Lichu in the center:
"Escort!"
However, Yan Lichu was only worried about Su Ye's safety at the moment.
She immediately got on her horse and summoned the soldiers around her:
"Come with me to rescue Prime Minister Su!"
At this moment, deep in the jungle.
Su Ye was fighting one against five, with a calm look on his face.
In the light of swords and shadows, Su Ye's figure was like lightning, dancing gracefully, with his white clothes fluttering, like an immortal descending.
He instantly discerned the killers' moves and cleverly avoided their attacks.
The sword in his hand looks soft, but is actually extremely strong.
Every move is concise and powerful, hitting the point directly.
Su Ye blocked the attack of the killers, and with flying gestures, a token appeared in his hand.
On the token, the word "wentian" was clearly written.
The iron law of asking Tianlou:
Seeing this token is like meeting the original poster!
