Chapter 108

"Your majesty, Xin'er is causing trouble, and your majesty is letting her do as she pleases." The empress was worried, but couldn't say it out loud. She could only express her thoughts in a tactful manner.

"No defense, just let her play around for a bit. This girl is very clever, she might really be able to come up with something new." Although the emperor didn't believe what Tang Ke Xin had just said either, he had other expectations.

Since the emperor said so, the empress couldn't say anything else.

"Your Majesty, this humble daughter needs time to prepare." Tang Kexin looked at the emperor and said.

"Sure, I'll give you some time. You can make your preparations however long you want. If you can't make it, I'll get someone to move the things outside. We'll eat outside." It was clear that the emperor had made up his mind to let Tang Kexin show her off. He was implying that even the matter of eating wasn't as important as this.

"Thank you, your majesty." Tang Ke Xin's lips curved up into a faint smile. With the emperor's words, she felt at ease. Her words paused for a moment before she continued, "However, this humble girl still needs some things."

"Tell me, what do you need, I will send someone to look for it."

"I have these things in my room. It would be faster for me to ask Dong'er to go back and retrieve them." Those things weren't easy to find in ancient times, but she had them ready in her room.

"Oh?" The emperor raised an eyebrow. He was clearly surprised, but he still replied, "Okay, let Dong'er go back. Dong'er's lightness skills are pretty good, so it shouldn't take too long."

"Yes, this servant obeys." Dong'er responded, then quickly left.

"Go, put the tables outside. We will drink outside today. When General Gu goes out to fight, he will probably have this kind of experience every now and then." At this moment, the emperor's interest was extremely high. He actually really gave the order to place the banquet outside.

However, the space here was extremely spacious.

With the emperor's order, the servants quickly placed the tables outside, and everyone took their seats in succession.

Since Dong'er still hadn't returned, Tang Kexin sat down to eat while waiting for her.

Feng Qingyan also sat down because she did not know what to prepare, nor did she know what to do.

What she wanted to see was what Tang Kexin wanted to do.

Dong'er's speed was indeed very fast. It didn't take long for her to return and retrieve the item Tang Kexin wanted.

Everyone was stunned as they looked at the items Dong'er had brought over. What were these?

Was this something a girl should have in her room?

This Miss Tang was really special.

However, what is the use of these items?

They saw that Tang Kexin had already stood up and walked over to Dong'er to take the item from her.

"But little girl Xin, are you going to use these things?" At this moment, the Emperor couldn't help but be curious? Are all these things broken stakes?

It seemed to be just an ordinary wire. Moreover, that wire was so thin, what was it used for?

"Yes." However, Tang Ke Xin replied seriously, "Your majesty, this humble girl will go and prepare first."

"Alright, alright, go ahead." When the emperor saw how serious her reply was, his heart was filled with anticipation as he repeatedly replied, "Yes."

At this moment, everyone's gaze was fixed on Tang Kexin. They all wanted to see just what she wanted to do.

This included Feng Qingyan. At this moment, her eyes were also looking straight at Tang Kexin.

Tang Ke's heart jumped. He took the items and walked up to a few large trees. Then, he began to walk around the trees with the items.

Everyone became even more confused. What, what was she doing?

What are you going to do with that filament around the tree?

Was she sure she wanted to break the wooden stake? Why does it feel like a child playing a game?

Dong'er was helping Tang Kexin carry the items. When she saw the expressions on everyone's faces, she understood very well. For the first time, she shared the same thoughts as everyone else. She felt that the young lady was playing a game.

However, it turned out that the result was shocking.

"Miss, how many stakes are you planning to break?" Dong'er naturally wouldn't doubt the strength of her young mistress, but the fact was that these ten wooden stakes were nothing to her.

"Yes, six." Tang Ke thought for a moment before replying casually. Six yuan wasn't much, but it wasn't small either. She felt that it was just right.

"Miss, isn't that too much?" Dong'er was a little worried. She was the clearest on how shocking that scene was. If Miss really broke six wooden piles in one go, then most people here would be shocked silly.

"Do you think so much?" Tang Ke's heart thumped, and he looked at Dong'er, his brow furrowed.

"Right." Dong'er nodded her head repeatedly. Actually, she felt that one or two would suffice. It was just Feng Qinghong. With just one arrow, it would probably be difficult to even break the bark.

"Un, alright. Then let's reduce it. Being too high-profile is indeed not good." Tang Kexin nodded her head seriously.

Dong'er's pupils changed. "Then how many should we put away?"

"Five and a half." The corners of Tang Ke's mouth moved as he slowly opened his mouth.

The corner of Dong'er's lips twitched as she felt a flock of crows fly by. "Miss, just pretend Dong'er didn't say anything."

Five and a half would be even worse than six. After all, all six of them were the same, and there was no difference in height.

If it was really five and a half, and he was still adjusting the height, it would obviously increase the difficulty.

"Miss, it's just that there's no need to compare herself to Miss Feng. Miss Feng is still standing there in a daze. I don't know what she's doing." Dong'er was a little puzzled. She felt that it was overkill for the young miss to use such a method against Feng Qingyan.

"I, your young miss, am very unhappy right now. Didn't she want to compete? "Fine, I'll compete with her, and we'll have a clear winner and loser. I just want to make the difference between the two of us slightly larger, that's all." Tang Kexin's heart turned cold. Originally, she had felt that Feng Qingxi was somewhat pitiful, so she didn't want to argue with her.

Who would have thought that Feng Qingyan would actually advance by an inch.

In that case, she couldn't be blamed.

Moreover, she knew that with this, Feng Qingyan would not dare to compete with her ever again.

"Miss, Dong'er understands." Dong'er nodded in agreement. Without another word, she did what she needed to do seriously.

Ye Lanchen finally couldn't hold it in anymore and walked over. When he saw what she was doing, he frowned deeply, "But, Xin, what exactly did you do?" "It can break a wooden stake?"

"You'll know in a while." Tang Kexin didn't directly answer him. She only smiled faintly. He couldn't believe anything she said, so he could only use facts to prove everything.

Tang Ke Xin's speed was extremely fast. Because he had done it once in the Prime Minister's Estate, he did not waste too much time.

"Your majesty, this humble daughter has been prepared. We can begin." Tang Kexin made up her mind and walked back to the emperor.

"Oh, that's done." The emperor's eyes flashed, and his expression clearly showed less interest than before. Instead, it was filled with disappointment. It was clear that the emperor didn't think much of the things that Tang Kexin had done.

It was just a few thin threads wrapped around a tree. What use would it have?

Everyone else shook their heads. They all felt that Tang Ke was just messing around, or perhaps she was just messing around because the empress was supporting her.

The corner of Feng Qingxi's mouth also clearly contained a few traces of ridicule. She had thought that Tang Kexin would be able to create some big ruckus, but it turned out to be just some lousy playthings.

Ye Lan Jue's eyes narrowed as he looked at what Tang Kexin had just arranged. Something seemed to flash past in the depths of his eyes.

"Is Miss Feng ready?" Tang Kexin could naturally see the ridicule in Feng Qingyan's eyes at this moment. She looked at her with a faint smile and deliberately asked.

In fact, anyone could see that Feng Qingyan did not do anything, because she did not even know what she could do. She could be proficient in zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting, but she knew nothing of these things.

"Miss Tang, please come first. I'll come again after Miss Tang is done." Feng Qingyan looked at Tang Kexin and similarly smiled. However, the smile on Feng Qingyan's face made others feel that it was fake.

At this moment, Feng Qingyan naturally had her little scheme in mind.

Obviously, this was an impossible task, and since it was impossible, why should she fight for it?

Tang Ke was sure that he wouldn't be able to finish it. If he couldn't, she wouldn't do anything. At most, they would have a draw, but the one who made a fool of himself was Tang Kexin.

She won't lose anything.

"Alright, then I'll go first." Tang Kexin naturally saw through Feng Qingxi's thoughts at this moment. However, she did not point them out.

No matter what, strength is the most useful word.

Tang Ke Xin walked over. Although the crowd no longer had their expectations, they still looked at her to see if she could come up with anything.

"Please help me to prepare the wooden stake." Tang Ke's heart remained calm as he instructed the guard nearby.

"Oh, okay, okay." The guard finally reacted and nodded his head in agreement.

"I wonder how many of them Miss Tang wants to break?" Behind her, Feng Qingyan's slightly laughing voice rang out. Although there was a hint of laughter in his voice, it was still unable to conceal the ridicule within.

"As a human, I want to keep my feet on the ground. First, I'll set myself a small goal that I can achieve." Tang Ke Xin didn't look at her, but it was clear that he was seriously thinking about it.

When the crowd heard her words, they all felt that it made sense. As a person, they should put their feet on the ground.

Hearing her talk about a small goal, he also felt that her modest attitude wasn't bad at all.

However, Tang Ke Xin quickly added, "Let's take six."

For a moment, the crowd almost fell down. This … this was what she meant by standing on solid ground?

Was it the small target she was talking about?

One arrow had broken six wooden posts. Was this woman crazy?

However, the guard had already buried the wooden stake according to Tang Kexin's assigned position.

"All of you, disperse." Tang Kexin commanded the guards to disperse. After all, the power of the attack wasn't limited to just the wooden stake, it could also break a person.

Although the guard felt that it was unnecessary and even a little laughable, he still stepped aside.

Feng Qingyan laughed coldly to herself. What are you pretending for, now that you're pretending, let's see how she will deal with this later. This time, Tang Ke Xin was the one looking for embarrassment, so he couldn't blame her.

However, at this moment, Tang Kexin pulled up the arrow with all her might. When it reached a certain point, she suddenly let go.

Since the arrow in her hand was not as powerful as the one she had, she could only pull it up and try her best to increase its power.

The arrow in her hand whizzed out and struck the steel wire in front of her. Instantly, the wire snapped and bounced up. Then, with a speed that could not be seen with the naked eye, it swept towards the wooden stake in front of her.

In the blink of an eye, a whole row of six wooden piles was cut in half.

For a moment, everyone was dumbstruck.

For a time, even outside the arena, the entire arena was silent. There was not a single sound, as if not even the sound of breathing could be heard.
