Chapter 66: One Man Formation

Hearing this, Xie Changchao was stunned.

When he saw Xie Jingxing suddenly appear, he thought that Xie Jingxing was deliberately helping Shen Miao out. Anyway, this brother of his never conformed to social norms. But now, Xie Jingxing’s words stunned him.Xie Changwu was the one who agreed to go on the stage. What did it have anything to do with him?

Xie Changchao looked at Xie Changwu and asked in a low voice, “Second Brother, what’s going on?”

Xie Changwu was usually smarter than Xie Changchao. When he heard Xie Jingxing’s words, he was a little angry. Xie Jingxing wanted to challenge him but added that he alone was not enough and that Xie Changchao had to join in. What did Xie Jingxing mean? He was simply humiliating the two of them. Wasn’t he a bit too arrogant to think that his brothers were not his match even if they joined forces?

Infuriated by Xie Jingxing’s words, Xie Changwu had long lost his composure. His expression turned unfriendly, and his tone seemed to be filled with anger. “Brother, you’re so confident. You don’t take us seriously at all.”

On the stage, Xie Jingxing played with the apple he had taken from the examiner. He narrowed his eyes and said lazily, “That’s right. I’m not taking either of you seriously.”

“The two of you have never competed with me since you were young. I heard that you are outstanding. Show me what you are made of and teach me a lesson if you can,” he continued.

Everyone present seemed to have sensed the discord between the Xie brothers. Everyone in Ming Qi had heard about what happened at the Marquis’s Residence. All along, everyone had been speculating about the relationship between the brothers, and Xie Jingxing had always been indifferent and even disdained talking to his two half-brothers.

This was the first time Xie Jingxing had embarrassed his two half-brothers in front of everyone. Everyone present started discussing, both wanting to watch the show and looking forward to the outcome.

Shen Miao looked at the handsome young man who was acting with indifference. Xie Jingxing was really strange. He looked willful and indulgent, but at the same time he knew exactly what he wanted. The two brothers of the Xie family had no clue that they were led by the nose.

When Xie Changwu heard this, he suddenly sneered and said word by word, “It’s just a friendly competition. What’s wrong with that?” He looked at Xie Jingxing, his shrewd eyes filled with all kinds of emotions. He said, “Since you want to compete with both of us at the same time, we’ll grant you that wish. But Brother, don’t complain about us being unfair when you lose.”

In other words, if Xie Jingxing lost to the two of them, it would be Xie Jingxing who asked for it. It had nothing to do with the two of them. Xie Jingxing would even make a fool of himself.

Xie Changchao was still a little hesitant, but when he saw the look Xie Changwu gave him, he immediately came back to his senses and said, “I’ll join too if that’s what you want.”

Xie Jingxing smiled, and his evil smile attracted the attention of many girls. He said teasingly, “Do you want to sign a death contract too?”

Xie Changchao and Xie Changwu froze, and their expressions turned ugly. However, Xie Jingxing said lazily, “I was just joking. We’re brothers. There’s no need to kill each other.”

The corners of Shen Miao’s mouth curled up slightly. Since the Xie brothers had already gone on stage, she had nothing to do here. She straightened her dress and left the stage.

When she reached the women’s section, Shen Yue and Shen Qing did not come over to talk. Feng Anning quickly ran over and said, “Your archery is actually so good. Are you going to be a general just like your father?”

Shen Miao’s heart skipped a beat. Now that the royal family was scheming to eradicate the Shen family, not to mention her, even her brother was in an extremely dangerous situation. Back then, her brother’s life was ruined by a woman. Now that the Shen family had not fallen apart, she had to use her own method to protect the Shen family. Just like on the stage just now, if anyone dared to humiliate the Shen family, she would make them regret it.

“But who do you think will win?” Feng Anning suddenly changed the topic and said, “Although Young Marquis Xie is famous, we’ve never seen his skill with our own eyes. Perhaps the rumors are not credible. Xie Changwu and Xie Changchao both got first place last year. No matter what, Young Marquis Xie is at a disadvantage.”

Would Xie Jingxing be at a disadvantage? Shen Miao laughed in her heart and shook her head gently.

On the stage, Xie Changwu said, “Let’s compete over horse spear.”

This time, Shen Miao laughed out loud.

Xie Jingxing raised an eyebrow. “Horse spear? Sure!”

The officials quickly found three horses. The tall platform was extremely wide to begin with, and if it was controlled well, it could accommodate horses galloping on it. A spear was handed out to each of them.

“Xie Changwu and Xie Changchao are pretty good at spearing,” Feng Anning exclaimed. Xie Chao and Xie Changwu could perfectly as a team. They could combine two spears into one and then attack their opponent together. With this method, they were able to come out first in the horse spear every year. Xie Changwu probably chose the horse spear because he wanted to humiliate Xie Jingxing.

However, in reality, it was different. Shen Miao lowered her eyes, deep in thought. Others might not know, but she knew very well. In her previous life, she had read a record about the formations the Xie family used on the battlefield. Xie Jingxing was not simple because he could create an formation alone.

The formation was called Spirit Snake, requiring only a horse, a spear, and a person. Such a formation was only suitable for fighting with the head of the opposite army, and with this formation, Xie Jingxing had never failed to behead his foes.

How could the two brothers of the Xie family fight someone who fought a battle? They would probably make a fool of themselves today.

The drummer hit the drum heavily. When the drum sounded, the competition began.

Xie Changwu and Xie Changchao looked at each other. The two horses ran side by side. They had undergone strict training in the first place, and the steps of the horses were almost identical. Their spear moves were also the same. From afar, it was as if one person had split into two. It was really a little terrifying.

The young man in purple grabbed the rein, and the black horse under him suddenly raised its hooves and ran in the opposite direction. Everyone was in an uproar. His clothes were like purple clouds and lightning. He was like a storm, and his killing intent instantly overflowed.
