The Daily Life Of Mei Furen Doting On Her Husband - Chapter 152

The movement was so light, as if there was no force, but it landed with great impact. When Li Shizhang saw it, cold sweat broke out on his head, and he even wondered if he had seen it wrong. How could a person have such terrible strength?

Li Shizhang was not the only one who saw it. After everyone whispered, they figured out who threw the sword, and for a moment, everyone’s eyes turned to Mei Zhuyu. However, whether being ignored or watched by everyone, Mei Zhuyu did not have any special expression.

The young girl, Ah Xiu, looked at the wailing leopard on the ground. She also raised a leopard, so she knew how strong and fast these leopards were. To be able to throw a sword with bare hands and pin the leopard was not just ordinary; it was super powerful! So she coughed and shouted to Li Shizhang, “Well, okay, since you want to compete with our brother-in-law, then let’s have a competition.”

The teenagers who had agreed with her before quickly changed their words, “Yes, yes, we agree; let’s get started.” They all looked like they couldn’t wait to beat the downed dog.

Li Shizhang’s expression twisted. After what had happened, he dared not joke with his life. He came for revenge, not to get beaten. He cursed the guy who ruined his plan in his heart, forced a smile and quickly changed his words, “I don’t want to cause any trouble today. So, let’s do as you said before and let our two teams compete in hunting.”

After both parties agreed, they went hunting separately. Before Li Shizhang’s team left, the boys and girls on Wu Zhen’s side started laughing. “It’s so funny. Did you see his expression? When he said he wanted to compete with my brother-in-law, he looked so sinister as if he was sure of winning. But after he saw my brother-in-law showing off his skills, he was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat. Hahaha!”

The young men gathered around Mei Zhuyu and asked him all kinds of questions, such as how he developed his skills and whether he would accept disciples, etc. They all called him “brother-in-law”, forgetting that they were not Wu Zhen’s brothers at all and that Mei Zhuyu was not their real brother-in-law.

Mei Zhuyu was still very frugal with his words and gave a brief answer. Only when he heard his cousin Mei Si also calling him brother-in-law like everyone else did he reveal an indescribable expression and say, “What did you call me?”

Mei Si finally reacted, scratching his head, which was covered with a fu hat, and said in realization, “Oh, yes, you are my cousin, not my brother-in-law.”

Wu Zhen was so amused by them that she almost fell off her horse with laughter.

On the other side, Li Shizhang and his companions, who walked away in disgrace, were not so happy. Li Shizhang listened to the laughter that continued to come from behind him with a gloomy face and whipped the slave who was leading the leopard fiercely, cursing, “Useless thing.”

“Prince Jiaoshan, are we just going to let them be so arrogant? You can endure this, but I can’t.”

Li Shizhang sneered, “Endure? Humph, of course not. Since we can’t let her suffer directly, we’ll do it secretly. This hunting ground is not peaceful; anything can happen.”

He said that sinisterly and called a few servants who were good at archery, “You, follow me, follow behind Wu Zhen and her husband, and wait until they are alone, then take action.”

“Wu Zhen, I wanted to spare your life, but you refused to accept my offer. If you die here, you can’t blame me.” Li Shizhang fiercely grasped the bow and arrow on his back, veins bulging on his forehead as he shouted, “Go!”

After Wu Zhen and Mei Zhuyu walked for a while, they separated from the other boys and girls. The other boys were all thinking about hunting more prey than Li Shizhang, and when they saw that Wu Zhen and Mei Zhuyu were going to separate from them, some of them were worried and tried to persuade them, but Wu Zhen kicked them away.

After a while, only Wu Zhen and Mei Zhuyu were left, along with a few strong servants who had come out of Duke Yu’s Mansion.

Wu Zhen glanced at the bushes behind her nonchalantly and said to Mei Zhuyu with a smile, “I just said that I would take you to a place. Let’s go now.”

Mei Zhuyu nodded, “Okay.”

After they had gotten away from the boys and girls and the many servants, they walked further away. They could no longer hear the shouts in the woods during the hunt, and their horses became increasingly unrideable, so they dismounted and walked.

The two sat under an old tree to rest for a while, while several guards stood a little further away. A cold light appeared in the bushes not far away, aimed at the two who were laughing and talking under the tree, seemingly unaware of anything.

Wu Zhen raised her head and smiled, whispering to Mei Zhuyu, “Don’t you think it’s too funny to wear a ginger-colored robe embroidered with gold thread when hunting? When they hide in the bushes to shoot arrows, they glow; it’s so stupid that I can’t bear to watch.”

In the distance, Li Shizhang, Prince Jiaoshan, who was wearing a golden-threaded turmeric robe, said, “Good opportunity; they are not prepared!”

Li Shizhang, with a sinister look on his face, pressed his hand down, and instantly two arrows shot out from beside him.

No matter how strong one was, they were helpless against such arrows. Before Li Shizhang could fully develop his sneer, he froze. His eyes widened, and he could hardly believe what he saw.

Those two arrows were caught by Mei in the blink of an eye. Catching arrows with bare hands? How could someone catch arrows with bare hands? How did he discover these two arrows? How did he catch them? Why did he do it so easily, as if it were effortless? Could it be that the arrows shot by the two strong servants beside him were not powerful?

Li Shizhang was once again provoked, and regardless of anything, he picked up his bow, drew it, and put an arrow on it to try it himself. He was very excited, and that action was a bit too big. People around him tried to persuade him, but Li Shizhang could not hear anything. He just refused to believe and wanted to find out the truth.

However, before his arrow could be shot, there was a rustling sound of wind, and the two arrows they had shot out before were shot back again with a strong wind… or rather, thrown back.

With a thud, one of the two arrows pierced Li Shizhang’s hat, and the other passed his neck and pierced the tree trunk behind him. Feeling the sting in his neck, he reached out and touched it, feeling a bloodstain. The arrow had scraped the skin on one side of his neck.

Li Shizhang’s hand trembled, and the bow and arrow fell to the ground. He raised his head stiffly and saw Wu Zhen, who was shaking her legs with a smile under the tree over there, and Mr. Mei, who had caught the arrow with his bare hands and thrown it back, still looked cold and indifferent.

The seemingly ordinary man looked that way with a cold and impatient demeanor, exuding a sharp murderous aura that Li Shizhang had never seen before. Li Shizhang felt a chill all over his body; his heart was trembling, his whole body was shaking, and he almost screamed out of fear.

That was a light arrow, not a heavy iron or bronze sword. How could a normal person throw such a thing with such momentum from such a distance? Impossible!
