Chapter 166 Eldest Princess 3
In the dim light, Tao Yao saw the young general Murong Fu clearly. She had to say that Murong Fu was indeed handsome, like a god from heaven. It was a pity that this guy was the nemesis of the original owner, so she had to be sober.
Murong Fu bowed his head and saluted Gao Yang on the throne, "Your Majesty, your Majesty, your Majesty, your Majesty."
Gao Yang waved his sleeves and said, "Let's get started. Let me and the prince see General Murong's archery skills."
The bow and arrow in Murong Fu's hand squeaked as he gripped it. He looked at the familiar relatives in front of him with red eyes.
His eldest sister-in-law was holding his eldest brother's newborn baby. Her eyes were red from crying and her hands were shaking as she held the apple in her hand.
Gao Yang saw Murong Fu's slow movements and impatient frown, urging him: "General Murong, what are you standing there for? Are you unwilling to perform for me?"
Murong Fu glared at Gao Yang with hatred in his eyes. The hatred in his eyes turned into a sharp sword that would surely pierce Gao Yang into a sieve.
The system was still watching, "Vixen, your cheap father is really too much. He wants others to use their relatives as targets. If I were Murong Fu, I would shoot you two to death with one arrow right now. A gentleman can be killed but not humiliated."
Tao Yao glanced at Murong Fu, who did not hide his hatred in the audience. This Murong Fu was indeed a ninja. It was no wonder that he rebelled and became emperor. Gao Yang was forcing him to do something unethical. If he didn't rebel, he would lose his life.
Tao Yao shook the round fan in her hand, covering the lower half of her face with it, leaving only a pair of beautiful, sparkling eyes exposed, and then she gave Gao Yang a suggestion with a sweet smile.
"Father, what's the point of shooting at apples? Why not replace the apples with jade rings? Apples are so big. I think General Murong's archery skills are so good that he can hit them with every shot. I'm afraid General Murong won't even look down on such an easy target."
When Gao Yang heard this idea, he immediately clapped his hands and cheered, "My prince is really smart. Someone, change the target to Yuhuan."
After all, the apple is still a solid object, but if it is replaced with a jade ring, the difficulty will be doubled. It is not easy to hit the hole in the middle of the jade ring.
Everyone below looked at Murong Fu who was standing in the center of the hall with sympathy, and old General Murong had cold sweat on his palms.
The palace maid followed the order and replaced the apple on Murong Fu Dasao's head with a jade ring. The lights in the palace were dim, and the only way to win was to hit the hole in the middle of the jade ring, which made it even more difficult.
Gao Yang gave the order, "General Murong, let's get started."
Murong Fu raised the bow and arrow, pulled the arrow with force, his eyes fixed on the hole in the jade ring. His whole body was tense and veins bulged on his forehead.
The next second, the arrow shot out with a whoosh and happened to pass through the hole in the jade ring and stuck in the pillar behind him.
Everyone below clapped and cheered, even Gao Yang on the dragon throne was no exception. Only Tao Yao looked at the arrow and fell into deep thought.
The arrow was shot so accurately that half of it was nailed directly into the pillar. It would have been terrible if it had hit a person.
Murong Fu's sister-in-law's legs were weak at this time. When the arrow cut through the sky, it made a sharp explosion, and the child in her arms was frightened and burst into tears.
"Father, General Murong is so powerful, I also want to go down and give it a try. How about letting General Murong be my target this time? I want to make a bet with General Murong."
Gao Yang took a sip of his wine and said, "Oh? My prince, what are you betting with General Murong about? I don't remember you being able to ride and shoot."
Even the system was confused. What was this vixen doing? She knew that Murong Fu was about to rebel, but she didn't even hurry up to gain Murong Fu's favor. She was clearly teaming up with Gao Yang to humiliate Murong Fu. Wouldn't she die faster when Murong Fu came to punish her in the future?
"Vixen, why are you trying to make things difficult for Murong Fu? Be careful that your mission fails and you end up with the same fate as the original owner. If you continue like this, Murong Fu will definitely retaliate against you."
The round fan was resting on Tao Yao's chin, and a charming smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. Gao Yan was extremely beautiful, and her every frown and smile was charming and attractive. She was a real evil lady who brought disaster to the country.
She slowly stood up from the dragon throne, and the entire hall became as bright as day in an instant because of her appearance.
"Father, I have learned a lot from my master recently. Don't worry. Besides, I am a princess, and General Murong, as a subject, should give way to me. General Murong, do you think what I said is correct?"
Taoyao was wearing a bright red palace dress. The hem of her skirt was embroidered with the original owner's favorite peony in gold thread. A butterfly was pasted with gold foil at the corner of her eye. As her eyelashes fluttered, the butterfly at the corner of her eye flapped its wings and seemed to be about to fly. She was as beautiful as the monster in the book that sucked people's energy.
The people below took a deep breath. How come the eldest princess is becoming more and more beautiful? It's a pity that the eldest princess has a bad reputation and everyone avoids her like the plague, for fear of being targeted by the eldest princess.
The eldest princess enjoys killing people for fun. She has also researched many killing techniques, which are even more terrifying than the prison warden's ten tortures.
Murong Fu watched the woman in front of him walk up the stairs step by step. She seemed to be covered with a rosy glow. The moment she appeared, everything behind him became extremely unreal, as if only the person in front of him was real.
He suppressed the urge in his heart and put aside the ridiculous thoughts in his mind.
"Since Your Highness wishes to challenge me, I will naturally accept. However, since Your Highness wants me to be a target, then in return, Your Highness should also be a target for me."
As soon as he finished speaking, Gao Yang, who was sitting on the dragon throne, slammed the table and shouted, "How dare you! How can my son, a daughter of a noble family, be your target? Murong Fu, you really don't take me seriously. Someone, drag Murong Fu out and give him twenty lashes of the cane."
Tao Yao gave Gao Yang a soothing look, signaling him to stay calm.
"Father, please don't be angry. This is the bet proposed by my son. To be fair, General Murong's idea is understandable."
Seeing that she was determined to do so, Gao Yang had no choice but to give up and let her do whatever she wanted. Anyway, he thought Murong Fu would not dare to commit rebellion. His daughter was a princess. If Murong Fu dared to commit rebellion, he would definitely execute the entire Murong family.
"General Murong, I can be your target, but if I hit you, you will enter the palace and become my personal bodyguard. How about that?"
Murong Fu thought Tao Yao would propose some kind of bet that would embarrass him, but he didn't expect that she would just ask him to be her personal bodyguard. Although he hated the eldest princess very much, his Murong family suffered such a great humiliation today. If he didn't speak out, the old emperor would think that all his Murong family members were dead.
"Yes, Your Highness, I am honored to be your Highness. If I have done anything inappropriate, please forgive me."
Tao Yao naturally knew that Murong Fu wanted to kill her to vent his anger, but it was not certain who would win or lose. The winner would depend on their real ability.
