Chapter 258 An arrow pierces the heart
Yun Boyu smiled with relief and patted his shoulder.
"Thank you for your kindness. I appreciate it. You don't need to redress anything. Just take care of yourself."
"There is one thing I have kept in my heart. Shu'er has repeatedly warned me not to tell it to Zhixuan. But now that it is done, I should be able to speak frankly. Now that it has come to this, I will tell you first."
Zhuang Shao was confused.
"What is it?"
Yun Boyu first gave a summary.
"The Fang Clan had anticipated Xi'er's rebirth. Everything she has gone through and her current situation were all part of their plan."
Zhuang Shao looked incredulous and was greatly shocked.
"what?!"
Yun Boyu smiled, and then narrated the story vividly.
"That year, they anticipated everything and explained it to me. My expression at that time was exactly the same as yours now. In addition to being shocked, I also felt incredible."
"You may find it hard to imagine that Xi'er was just born and nothing has happened yet, but they have already calculated the future situation step by step."
"Because of his life-saving grace and sincere cooperation, after knowing each other for a few days, the prince wrote down the narrative and told Shu'er in detail that he came here by means of meteorite fragments and the Purple Star constellation."
"Shu'er learned that the meteorite broke into pieces and fell to the earth. The pieces were large and small. The large ones caused disasters, while the small ones were silent. The prince went to the disaster area to treat and rescue people, and saved a child. The child was naive, so he picked up the pieces on the ground and gave them to the prince as a thank you gift. The prince didn't think much about it, accepted the kindness, and put it in his pocket."
"The prince was kind and did not abandon it. He returned home and found the brocade box and carefully kept it. Who knew that when he picked up the largest piece, the Purple Star constellation appeared, and in the blink of an eye, the prince was born as a baby."
"Shu'er also learned from the prince about mysterious things such as time travel and rebirth. From this, she speculated that meteorite fragments might help people be reborn."
"Seeing her curiosity, the prince also gave the fragment to Shu'er as a thank you gift. Shu'er returned to the mansion and studied it with the people of the Fang clan, thinking hard, just to help Xi'er, win the trust of the prince, continue the loyalty of the Fang clan's assistants, support Yue Sheng, and regain Yan Quan."
Zhuang Shao was deeply moved and was filled with admiration.
"No wonder the world has been saying for hundreds of years that the Fang clan's wisdom and strategy are unrivaled in ancient and modern times. When I first saw the talents of Sister Shu and my sworn brother, I was filled with emotion. Now, after hearing this, I realize that my previous vague views were only based on my narrow-minded thinking. The Fang clan's strategy is beyond my imagination."
"The Shengjing Fang Clan is worthy of its reputation!"
As he said this, he seemed somewhat puzzled and asked in confusion.
"Then...Is it Sister Shu's intention that the prince heard my conversation with you and me and misunderstood my identity?"
Yun Boyu blinked, confused.
"She didn't say it explicitly, so I don't know. But the lilac flowers in every room were indeed placed there on Shu'er's orders."
"I thought she was trying to express her feelings, but I didn't expect that...why did she do this? Wouldn't it be more difficult for Zhixuan to return?"
Zhuang Shao frowned and guessed.
"It seems that Sister Shu believes that it is not appropriate for my brother to return."
Yun Boyu was even more confused.
"Why?"
As Zhuang Shao thought about it, he fell into inferiority complex again.
"How can I understand Sister Shu's deep meaning?"
"I think so. He knows that I am stupid. If I stay with Brother Gu, I will be plotted against and lose my life in a short time..."
"Alas, it's still my fault that I made my brother suffer and put him in danger."
Yun Boyu smiled helplessly.
"Look at you, here you go again."
"In my heart, you and Xuanmou are on par with each other. From now on, don't belittle yourself."
Having said that, he changed the subject.
"Okay, let's stop here for now. If I continue, I won't have the chance to draw my bow and arrow and show you my archery skills."
"You don't know, I have been tolerant for many years, afraid of being exposed, and now I am itching to show off. Tonight, I know that the prince is not here, so I will do whatever I want!"
Zhuang Shao was more cautious and worried more.
"Did Sister Shu leave a message saying that my brother-in-law can show his talents tonight?"
Yun Boyu answered truthfully.
"No message. She didn't mention what happened tonight. Maybe she didn't expect it?"
When Zhuang Shao heard this, he backed down.
"Forget it, let's be careful."
Yun Boyu was unwilling to stand still in the face of such happiness.
"Ah? You don't want to take a peek?"
There was a hint of anticipation and a hint of confusion in Zhuang Shao's eyes.
"Of course I do."
"I've heard that the people of the Yun Clan are extremely skilled in martial arts and are invincible. My brother-in-law is famous for shooting rocks and drinking feathers. How could I not want to see him? But Sister Shu..."
Yun Boyu smiled carefreely.
"In that case, let's stop talking nonsense and come on, let's climb up the rock and find the best place to draw the bow."
Zhuang Shao stared in fear and tried his best to stop it.
"Brother-in-law, wait a minute, don't act on impulse..."
Yun Boyu was so strong that he grabbed Zhuang Shao's arm and lifted him up.
There was a cliff at his feet, and several pieces of rubble slid down. Zhuang Shao was frightened and broke out in a cold sweat. When he came to his senses, he had already been taken to a higher place by his brother-in-law.
"This place is too steep, brother-in-law, shall we go down?"
Yun Baiyu is bold and fearless.
"This place is well hidden, suitable for a long battle, and the location is just right for precise aiming."
"Look down, behind the shield, there is a man panicking, and another sitting calmly. Lord Tongshi Cheng'an is over fifty, so he should be calm and composed. Perhaps he is the one who is calm. Lord Tongshi Xiang Xu is in his early forties, so he is inevitably anxious and impatient. Perhaps he is the one who is impatient."
"Although arrows are raining down from the heights, they cannot hurt you two at all for the time being. Even though our location is dangerous, we can still use bows and arrows to attack them unexpectedly."
"Come, look."
He pointed at his arm and raised an eyebrow and smiled.
"My arrow is pointing right at Lord Xu's arm, and it won't deviate from that."
As he spoke, he drew his bow and shot an arrow, hitting the man's arm.
With the help of the light from the low lamp, Zhuang Shao took a closer look and laughed out loud.
"There really is no deviation. My brother-in-law is so amazing!"
"Lord Xu paced impatiently and without any determination. I was really surprised that my brother-in-law could judge his movements so accurately. I was really amazed."
Yun Boyu laughed triumphantly.
"you flatter me."
"The next arrow will be pointed by you."
Zhuang Shao was stunned, a little surprised.
"Ah I?"
Yun Boyu nodded and smiled, took out another arrow and got ready.
"Well, that's where you say it is. Just choose it."
Zhuang Shao thought for a moment, enjoying it, and pointed casually.
"Then let's go to the hips."
Yun Boyu lowered his eyes and smiled calmly.
"Okay, that's easy enough."
They mistook Lou Xiuyu for Xu Mingqian, and as a result, Lou Xiuyu was hit by several arrows and had difficulty walking.
Yun Boyu pointed at Ning Fengzhe who was at the back, mistaking him for An Pengyi, and analyzed the situation in depth.
"Don't think it's difficult to use arrows just because Lord Xu is so busy. In fact, Lord An's meditation is the real skill."
"The rock he chose corresponds to the flaw in the Guardian Formation. There was only one flaw, but he was able to find it. It seems that this person is well-versed in military books and has dabbled in various types of weapons. That's why he can be as stable as a rock in the midst of a chaotic army."
Zhuang Shao looked at him in surprise and sighed.
"It turns out that Lord An is so profound and yet he keeps his true abilities hidden."
"Even my brother-in-law's archery skills are useless?"
Yun Boyu curled his lips and smiled.
"This man is definitely not as good as me in using arrows. The place I chose is just right to break the situation."
"Just wait and watch, I'm going to shoot an arrow through your heart!"
The bowstring and arrow were aimed at Ning Fengzhe's heart. Yun Boyu narrowed his eyes slightly, raised his arm and drew the bowstring to the full. One arrow was enough to kill him...
