    Ambitious and self-employed X warlord [Fifty-six]

    The blade of the knife was stretched tightly by the rope, and the coldness could be clearly felt across this distance.

    Li Xin raised her eyes and saw Qi Zhen facing her direction. Only the slender figure could be seen in the distance. Somehow, she felt lonely.

    There were many people surrounding him, like stars over the moon, but he didn’t fit in.

    He Si now started talking about the rules: “Let’s play a big game today. Each person wins with two arrows and hits two red silks in a row.” He paused as he spoke, with a smile on his lips, “Let’s see if you love the country or the beauty.””

    Li Xin was suddenly startled.

    She understood, finally understood.

    This seal must be something important, related to power, and these concubines are like fish lying on the chopping board, ready to be cut by others.

    If two red silk threads must be hit in a row, it means that the rope hanging the blade will be shot. At that time, whether the rope is broken or pulled over, the blade will fall down.

    When she figured out this joint, her body felt chilly.

    A thin whimpering sound could be heard from the side. Li Xin’s throat was as dry as fire, and she was so hoarse that she couldn’t make a sound.

    She looked at Xiaochai and saw that she didn’t seem to understand. She just looked at Qi Heng subconsciously, as if she was praying for something.

    Qi Heng’s position was also far away, and Li Xin couldn’t distinguish his expression at all.

    She withdrew her gaze and lowered her head silently.

    Could it be that we can only wait for Qi Zhen to make a choice?

    What if he chose Seal but not her?

    What if he chooses her and loses his seal?

    How ridiculous that such a big matter should be decided by this cruel game.

    The corners of Li Xin’s mouth curled up, not knowing whether he was laughing at them or at himself.

    The bows and arrows were brought up and handed into the hands of five men. Qi Zhen was silent for a long time before taking the bow and holding it in her hand.

    Wang Yuan looked at Li Xin, then at Qi Zhen, and called out worriedly: “Master Jiu…”

    Qi Zhen raised her hand to signal him to be silent.

    “I know what to do.

    he whispered.

    Wang Yuan stopped talking.

    He Si gave the order, and everyone raised their bows and arrows, aiming at these people, who might have been rubbing their ears and temples together just a moment ago.

    Li Xin just lowered his head, not looking or listening.

    She was afraid that she had chosen the wrong person.

    Clear gunshots exploded in the sky, and the sound of arrows piercing the air came from all around. The women around them screamed one after another. They subconsciously wanted to run, but because their feet were restrained, they could only squat on the ground holding their heads.

    Only Li Xin stood so quietly.

    An arrow flew towards the red silk above her head. Li Xin closed her eyes tightly, waiting for the moment of judgment.

    To be honest, at this moment, she was frustrated.

    Qi Zhen finally made her choice.

    The expected pain was gone for a long time. She heard a dull collision above her head, and something crashed down and landed in front of her.

    She opened her eyes unconsciously.

    There are two arrows lying in front of him. The colors of each person’s arrows are different. Qi Heng’s arrows are white and Qi Zhen’s are red.

    At that time, the white arrow almost broke into two pieces. A strand of silk ribbon was pulled off the arrow, but it did not actually hit the ribbon.

    But the red arrow was intact and firmly inserted into the broken section of the white arrow.

    Li Xin suddenly raised his head.

    In the distance, Qi Zhen held a bow in her hand and looked over from a distance.

    He Si next to him made a “joking” sound, and smiled meaningfully: “Qi Jiu, you really don’t love the country and love the beauty!”

    Qi Heng’s arrow almost hit the red silk above Li Xin’s head, but was stopped by Qi Zhen’s arrow.
