Chapter 145 The Empress Brings Meals, God Sends an Arrow
Seeing this, Shen Changgong on the city wall just glanced down coldly and sent someone to call Guan Shouchang.
By this time, lunch time had passed and they must have rested well.
Then he continued to watch the provocation of the enemy general below.
However, just as he sent people over, the figures of the empress and Gongsun Wan'er appeared on the steps on the city wall.
Gongsun Wan'er was carrying a food box as the two of them came over.
"How did you come?"
Shen Changgong didn't even greet him, but just said hello.
"I heard that the enemy was about to attack the city, so I came to see you. Have you eaten?"
"have eaten."
Shen Changgong nodded.
The empress stopped talking and looked outside silently.
Gongsun Wan'er quietly came to his side and whispered,
"Actually, we heard the news on the way here. His Majesty saw that you didn't go back to eat and thought you were busy with military affairs and had no time to eat, so he personally brought me along to bring you food."
After saying this, Gongsun Wan'er patted the food box.
The Empress glared at Gongsun Wan'er and said angrily,
"Whose spy are you?"
Shen Changgong was stunned when he heard this, and then looked at the empress, whose ears turned slightly red.
"But I'm not full, I want to eat another meal."
Shen Changgong grinned and gave the other party a way out.
"Oh, you don't have to eat if you can't eat."
The empress sneered.
"Indeed, just looking at your face makes me full."
"You mean I'm so ugly that you can't eat?"
"No, there's an idiom that goes, 'Beauty is a feast for the eyes.'"
The empress's ears turned red all the way to her face.
"Stop making this noise for me."
Shen Changgong now understood that it was not that she disliked sweet talk, but that she could not tolerate it and blushed easily, which affected her imperial dignity, so she always refuted it.
Shen Changgong took the food box, spread it out on the city wall, and took out the food one by one.
Lian Yong cursed for a long time, but no one came out. He was so thirsty that he had no choice but to change people.
Lian Yong leaves the stage and King Ning comes on stage.
Ning Wang Yan Zhen came to the foot of the city and pointed at the top of the city wall and cursed,
"Shen Changgong! Tell Yan Fuyao to come out! She's doing something perverse and treasonous. Using her body as a woman is an act of defiance against our ancestors!"
She is cruel and merciless. She killed royal family members and court officials and even cut off her own hands and feet. This world belongs to our Yan family, not hers alone!
Such a tyrant is intolerable to heaven!
If my great-ancestor Taizong knew about this, he would appear in my dream and ask me to raise an army to purge the court and punish the unjust!
I have come here on the orders of our ancestors. Open the city gates and surrender quickly, and let her come out to apologize!"
When the empress heard this, her face suddenly turned angry and cold, and she was about to walk forward and curse.
Shen Changgong held her back and said,
"As an emperor, it's degrading to start cursing at each other. Leave it to me."
"You? You're really good at cursing, so go ahead."
The empress took a step back.
Shen Changgong smiled brightly and said,
"No, I'm better at killing than cursing. I'm the dignified Prince Lanling of Great Yan. How can I curse people from the top of the city wall? Don't I have any dignity?"
After saying this, Shen Changgong sneered, waved to the soldiers to bring a heavy bow, and then put an iron arrow on it.
Gongsun Wan'er was surprised.
"What are you doing? You want to shoot King Ning to death with a bow and arrow from such a distance?"
"It's hard to shoot someone to death, but it should be easier to hit them. The enemy is not a fool. He won't stand there and let me shoot him."
"I don't believe it. I've practiced archery. Prince Ning's position is far beyond the range of a normal bow and arrow. He can't be hit at all."
Looking at Gongsun Wan'er's arrogant and conceited look, as if she was seeking revenge, Shen Changgong laughed and said,
"Oh? Your Excellency, the Grand Steward, what if I hit the target? Do you dare to make a bet?"
"Make... a bet?"
Gongsun Wan'er couldn't count how many bets she had made with Shen Changgong, but she was defeated every time and never won.
"Tell me first, what are you betting on?"
Gongsun Wan'er glared.
Shen Changgong waved his hand, asked her to come in front of him, and then leaned over to whisper something in her ear.
Gongsun Wan'er was horrified and glanced at the empress involuntarily.
When the empress saw her look, she became a little suspicious.
"What can't I know?"
"No...nothing."
Gongsun Wan'er said something guiltily, then said,
"What if you lose?"
Shen Changgong whispered another word.
After hearing these words, Gongsun Wan'er was not only frightened, but also blushed and her breathing became rapid.
"How about it? Is it okay?"
Gongsun Wan'er hesitated for a long time before nodding solemnly.
The empress was suspicious and always felt that something bad was going to happen.
The position where Prince Ning was standing was beyond the range of ordinary arrows, so even if they were thrown upwards, they would not be able to hit Prince Ning.
The range of a repeating crossbow is even worse than that of a bow and arrow.
This guy is smart. He is talking outside the range of the bow and arrow.
What Shen Changgong was holding in his hand was a heavy bow.
Ordinary bows are three-stone bows, but the one in Shen Changgong's hand is six stones. Both its range and power are much greater than ordinary bows.
He took a few steps back to avoid being seen by King Ning and running away. Then, he remembered King Ning's position outside the city, drew his bow and arrow, and with all his strength, he pulled the bow and arrow violently, released the bowstring, and the fine iron arrow flew into the sky.
Then, Shen Changgong immediately dropped his bow and, together with the other soldiers, watched the arrow flying intently.
Gongsun Wan'er's eyes widened, and she wished she could lie on the arrow.
The arrow drew a beautiful parabola in the air, and then shot towards King Ning accurately at an extremely fast speed with a whistling sound.
Prince Ning was cursing vigorously when he suddenly saw a small black dot in front of him, which quickly grew larger in his eyes.
"Oh my god!"
When King Ning knew what the arrow was, he immediately turned around and ran away. However, after he had taken two steps, the arrow whizzed down and pierced his calf.
If he didn't run, the arrow would have pierced his head.
The arrow was made of fine iron and was extremely powerful. It pierced through King Ning's leg bone, puncturing it and nailing it to the ground.
It looks like it's at least a comminuted fracture. With the medical technology of this era, he will be a cripple for the rest of his life.
"it is good!"
"Your Majesty, you have excellent archery skills!"
"One arrow hit the target!"
"Prince Ning, you traitor, you are still so arrogant! You are still so arrogant!"
"Go home and get your milk!"
"Wash your neck and wait for death!"
"Hahahaha!"
Shen Changgong's arrow made the Yan army soldiers on the city wall laugh heartily, their morale was greatly boosted, and they started cursing King Ning.
Gongsun Wan'er, on the other hand, was stunned, and then she hung her head in dejection, looking at the empress with an even more guilty look.
No one knows what the bet between her and Shen Changgong is.
Tu Que Ling on the side sighed,
"What a pity he wasn't shot dead. Every prince like him should be hacked into pieces."
