"Third brother, I was muddle-headed for a moment. I was blinded by oil. Can you give me a chance?”
Li Yuanji cowered.
In the face of life and death, he still abandoned his dignity and begged Li Xuanlie.
Li Xuanlie was indifferent. He raised the Blood Halberd in his hand and was about to take his head.
Decisive killing had always been his style.
If Li Yuanji wanted to kill him, he would not be soft-hearted even if they were blood brothers, let alone if they were not related by blood.
Li Yuanji broke out in cold sweat and fell to his knees with a thud.
"Royal Sister, please say something for me. I'm your biological brother. Do you want to watch me be killed by him?”
Li Yuanji knew that he couldn't convince Li Xuanlie, so he turned to Li Xiu Ning to plead.
After all, they were blood brothers.
Moreover, Li Xiu Ning was a woman, and she was the easiest to be soft-hearted.
Li Xiuning was furious. She took a few steps forward and slapped him a few times.
"You animal, now you know that you are my younger brother, but just now you wanted to kill me as well!”
Li Xiu Ning was skilled in martial arts, and her strength was extremely great. With a few slaps, Li Yuanji fell to the ground on the spot and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Li Yuanji was furious at this humiliation, but he didn't dare to complain.
Instead, he knelt down in front of Li Xiu Ning and sobbed,""Royal Sister, I know I was wrong. I was actually bewitched by King Jin and King Qin. I was muddle-headed for a moment. I beg you to give face to Imperial Mother and beg Third Brother to let me live ~~"
The word 'mother' touched Li Xiu Ning's heartstrings.
In her mind, the voice and appearance of her deceased mother, Madam Dou, appeared.
She vaguely remembered that before her mother died, she held her hand and reminded her to take good care of her younger brothers.
Li Xiu Ning was cold on the outside but warm on the inside. After all, she was a loyal woman. When she thought of her mother's last words, the anger in her heart subsided by half.
She sighed and looked at Li Xuanlie.
"San Lang, bring this beast back to Luoyang and let Imperial Father deal with it.”
Li Xuanlie understood her difficulties.
Although she hated Li Yuanji, she still cared about their blood ties and wanted to keep him alive.
Li Yuan was a kind father. If he were to be punished by Li Yuan, Li Yuanji would definitely be stripped of his title and demoted to a commoner.
He lost his wealth, status, and power, but he could still keep his life.
"Xiu Ning, do you think that after returning to the capital, he will admit his crimes?
If he turns around and falsely accuses me of plotting rebellion, then what if I attack him first?”
Li Xuanlie's rhetorical question echoed in her ears, causing Li Xiu Ning's body to tremble.
Li Yuanji hurriedly said," I swear to the heavens that I will sincerely apologize to Imperial Father and beg for his forgiveness. Third Brother and Imperial Sister must believe me!"”
"Royal Sister, do you believe his words?"
Li Xuanlie smiled coldly and looked at Li Xiu Ning.
Li Xiu Ning sighed and shook her head silently.
She had watched her younger brother grow up and knew nothing about his personality. To him, promises were worthless.
After returning to the capital, Li Yuanji would definitely bite back. At that time, Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin would take advantage of the situation to respond, which would be disadvantageous to Li Xuanlie.
For a moment, Li Xiu Ning was silent, not knowing what to do.
"Whether he lives or dies depends on heaven's will.”
Li Xuanlie threw the Blood Halberd to his guard and took his Dragon Vein Bow.
Then, he covered his eyes with a black veil and drew his bow.
Everyone was confused.
"Li Yuanji, from here on out, I'll let you run thirty steps. Then, I'll shoot an arrow. If you don't die, I'll hand you over to Imperial Father."”
Everyone was enlightened.
Shooting an arrow blindfolded could only rely on listening to the wind to determine its position. It was extremely difficult to hit a person from thirty steps away.
Whether it hit or not, it was almost up to heaven's will.
He couldn't bear to make things difficult for Li Xiuning, so he decided to use this method to decide Li Yuanji's life and death.
Feeling Li Xuanlie's intentions, Li Xiu Ning was touched. She looked at him with a hint of tenderness in her eyes.
Li Yuanji's terrified eyes suddenly flashed with a hint of joy.
"Shooting a target from thirty steps away with a blindfold is something that only a few people have been able to do since ancient times. I don't believe he has such archery skills!”
He gritted his teeth, leaped up, and ran out of the hall like a madman.
The Black Flag Army did not dare to stop them and could only make way for them.
"Although Your Highness killed the Roman Emperor with an arrow from a hundred steps away, the difficulty of shooting an arrow blindfolded is more than doubled. Could it be that Your Highness is deliberately showing mercy?”
Yue Fei frowned as he tried to guess Li Xuanlie's intentions.
Five steps…
Ten steps…
Fifteen steps…
Li Yuanji was about to run twenty steps away.
"After returning to the capital, I will insist that he was the one who attacked me. When the King of Qin and the King of Jin join forces to deal with him, they might even be able to force Father to sentence him to death!
Li Xuanlie, ah, Li Xuanlie, you're still too soft-hearted. You can't beat me, hehe…"
Li Yuanji, who was running wildly, had a sinister and smug smile on his face.
Twenty steps!
Li Xuanlie, who was standing quietly in the hall, frowned and his fingers suddenly loosened.
A cold light whizzed over.
Puff!
It hit Li Yuanji's heart from behind.
"How can this be?”
Li Yuanji's face twisted in horror, and his eyes widened as if he had encountered the strangest thing in his life.
Then, he let out a shrill scream and fell to the ground.
