The king of Jin covered the sky with one hand in this Jinyuan boundary, and if he wanted to kill a lot of people, he would kill him, and he didn't even need a name.But the imperial envoy came to Jinyuan from thousands of miles under the banner of the little emperor, who was the emperor's eyes, ears, mouth and nose. If killing him, wouldn't it be blatant to slap the little emperor loudly across the face?

Furthermore, the emperor sent an imperial envoy here to find out the whereabouts of the traitor Shen Si, and now that the imperial envoy died on King Jin's territory, anyone can interpret the meaning of "killing people to silence their mouths".

As soon as he got the news of the imperial envoy's death, King Jin hurriedly ordered people to close the gates of the four cities, and quickly gathered people to surround the hotel, trying to block the news.It's a pity that it was a step too late. When the number of people was counted, two personal servants of the imperial envoy had disappeared.In fact, Jin Wang also knew that there is no impenetrable wall in the world, what should come will always come, but it is just one day sooner or one day later.

The body of the imperial envoy was hidden in a sedan chair and carried all the way back to the residence hall. It was verified by the official that he was indeed killed by an arrow wound, and he was killed on the spot.There was a big hole in the chest of the corpse, and the red skin and flesh were turned out, like a child's pursed mouth.

A group of guards knew that they had neglected their duties and caused a catastrophe. They knelt down in front of King Jin to plead guilty: "This subordinate is incompetent, please punish me."

King Jin waved his hands with a gloomy face: "This is not the time to ask the teacher to inquire about the crime. Hurry up and tell me everything about the incident at the time!"

The captain of the guard straightened his back and cupped his hands and replied: "Your Majesty, at that time, my subordinates and others were ordered to escort the imperial envoy to the Hongbin Restaurant. They were very careful along the way. Cavalry were arranged in front to clear the way, and soldiers lined up on both sides to guard. Walk to the restaurant Suddenly, two feathered arrows were shot from the front side of the Fang Street section. They brushed against the imperial envoy’s sedan chair one after the other, and nailed them to the wooden signboard of the tavern along the street. The center gathered quickly and was responsible for protecting the imperial envoy, and the other line judged the location where the murderer might be hiding based on the route and strength of the cold arrow, and attacked..."

King Jin bowed his head and listened silently. Up to this point, there were no obvious mistakes or omissions in the actions of these guards.

Unexpectedly, the guard captain's tone changed: "But we didn't expect that it was a trick to divert the tiger away from the mountain. After successfully attracting everyone's attention, the murderer suddenly launched an attack from the opposite angle. He shot an arrow, and some guards noticed it. He waved his knife to block it, but the speed of the arrow made the brother lose his hand. The third arrow shot straight into the sedan chair through the cloth curtain. .And the two feathered arrows before were actually launched by a mechanism assembled from leather and iron pins, which is a veritable deception.”

According to this, the man not only knew the time, place, and route of the imperial envoy's banquet, but also predicted the possible reactions of the guards in advance.He can accurately arrange tactics, calmly wait for the opportunity, and at the critical moment, he is calm and calm, and he is not in vain. He is not an ordinary killer anyway.Even in the action, there is a little courage and boldness of putting everything in one basket.

King Jin let out a breath of foul air slowly, and asked after deliberation: "Then when you were chasing the murderer, did you ever get a clear view of the other party's appearance?"

The captain of the guard also felt ashamed: "This subordinate is so stupid that he couldn't see the appearance of the murderer clearly. He was covered with a black cloth. He was more than eight feet tall, and he was agile in flying over the walls. The bow on his shoulder was huge. The subordinate saw how many people fled halfway. A tree branch protruding out of the wall blocked the way, and he waved his back with one hand, and the branch with thick wrist snapped in two."

King Jin seemed to have thought of something, and ordered: "Come on, bring me the arrow that the murderer used to kill people!"

Immediately, someone held the arrow in both hands and trotted forward.The blood on the arrow had been wiped clean, and the arrow cluster was extremely sharp, and a white mark immediately appeared on the skin when the finger touched it a little.If you look closely, you will find that the head and tail ends of the arrow are slightly cut off, and the middle part is thicker.King Jin remembered that when Shen Si made his own bows and arrows, he once heard from Shen Si that handling the arrows in this way would make it less prone to deviation after leaving the string, and would be more lethal.From this point of view, the murderer is not only an expert in archery, but also an expert in making arrows.

King Jin weighed the arrow in his hand twice, and his brows became tighter and tighter. The arrow was about an inch longer than ordinary military arrows, and the weight was much heavier. He stretched out his hand behind his back without raising his head. None of them understood what it meant, but Tu Mo'er took a step forward, pulled out his saber with a "swish", and handed it to King Jin with the hilt behind his back.

King Jin took the sword in his hand and struck down the arrow without any hesitation.There was a crisp sound of "Ding Lang", sparks were scattered everywhere, but the arrow did not break. Upon closer inspection, it turned out that there was an iron core hidden in the shaft of the arrow.

The material for making arrows has always been wood in the north and bamboo in the south. Wood is heavy and bamboo is light, and bamboo is not as strong as wood.Speaking of this kind of iron-core arrow, it has a lot of background. This is the famous "armor-piercing wolf tooth", which has extremely strong penetrating power. Because of the heavy body of the arrow, non-hercules can't open the bow.In addition, the arrow cluster is inlaid with barbs. Once it is shot on the battlefield, it will not stop cutting, and it will not be able to be pulled out. All that is left is to fall to the ground and howl in pain.According to King Jin's knowledge, there used to be an elite iron cavalry consisting of 800 men in the Shen family army, who were invincible in every direction, and they used exactly this kind of arrows.

King Jin stared at the corner of the house a few steps away, wondering what he was thinking. After a long time, he turned his eyes to the captain of the guard: "You said he fled into the palace?"

The captain of the guard sighed in a loud voice: "He first fled into the alley at the back door of the palace, and then climbed over the courtyard wall in two or three times. The subordinates dare not rush into the palace to arrest people, so they can only contact I asked the guards in the mansion and Chief Manager Hu to help with the search. But after working hard for a long time, the guards searched every corner, but they didn't find anyone suspicious."

According to his original intention, Jin Wang really didn't want to believe that the guy who killed the imperial envoy and put him in a dilemma was Shen Si.But judging from the evidence in front of us, Yiyi Yiyi was tailor-made for contemplation. He is tall, strong in martial arts, excellent in archery, and has amazing arm strength. When it comes to making and using arrows, there is no one in Jinyang City. Being able to outshine others, and more importantly, entering and exiting the palace will never arouse any suspicion...

King Jin couldn't help but smiled wryly, yes, Shen Si was worried about the dilemma of wanting to kill himself but being unable to do so?Now that the imperial envoy died, there was no room for mediation between himself and the little emperor. When the flames of war ignited, he would kill two birds with one stone, and easily provoke the desperate struggle between the two enemies. For Shen Si, it might not be a bad thing.

Among the group of people, there was also a guy who didn't wink, and blurted out: "If there is such a skill in the palace, I'm afraid the only one is..."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly felt the cool wind blowing his back numb. It turned out that Gu Zhuozi had shaken off his folding fan at some point, staring at him with a smile that was not a smile.The man came to his senses in an instant, was at a loss for a moment, and finally pretended to cough and swallowed the second half of his words.

Jin Wang noticed that the other party was hesitating to speak, raised his head and looked at him, then at Gu Zhuozi, with no sadness or joy on his face: "Okay, let's all go down... Be prepared, maybe it's time to It's been a fight..."

After returning to the mansion, King Jin decided to ask Shen Si personally after thinking about it.

The Shen Xiaowu he knew was indeed young and impulsive, as well as stubborn and self-willed, but he was by no means a person who disregarded the overall situation.Once the Jinyuan war broke out, the casualties would be the front-line soldiers, and the people in the Li people would suffer. How can you not understand this kind of truth?He did not believe that Shen Si would risk the lives of others for his own selfishness.

The small courtyard where he was contemplating was empty and deserted, only the cicadas on the tree were yelling, but not a single one.

Recently, Golden Gourd fell into the eyes of Princess Crimson from somewhere, and the princess actually went to Zhang Shijie’s camp to help Jin Gourd with a job. After pondering, I have personally taught the strategy of war, and I can't wait to find an opportunity to apply what I have learned as soon as possible.

As for the bezoar, you can't go out of the palace, even if you sneak out of the courtyard occasionally to take a look at the scenery in the mansion, there are people staring at you wherever you go, and you don't have much interest when you come and go.These days he sleeps in his room until the sun is high before getting up, anyway, there are plenty of good food and vegetables in the palace to support him, so he falls easily.

The room was hot and stuffy, and the door of the pensive room was open. He was wearing only a set of undershirt and trousers, and was leaning on the red sandalwood Arhat couch, reading a book.Seeing King Jin walk in the door, he just raised his eyelids and glanced casually, then put his thoughts back into the book.

King Jin paced slowly, his eyes aimed at the brass rhubarb bow hanging on the wall intentionally or unintentionally, only that kind of strong bow could match the Spike's Fang Armor-Piercing Arrow.The King of Jin looked at the quiver in the corner again, and there were a few arrows scattered there, the length and thickness of which were almost the same as those of the murder weapons he had seen before.

Thinking about the days when his whereabouts were unknown, King Jin often sat in this room for a long time, knowing every object and every furnishings in the room.He was sensitively aware that the bow was placed in the wrong position, and the number of arrows seemed to be less.

Shen Siben was concentrating on reading the book, but there was always a figure dangling in the corner of his eye, which disturbed him, and he couldn't help raising his head to look at King Jin and frowned.Seeing that his attitude was still indifferent, King Jin sneered and said, "Is there any interest in disturbing Nian Qing's reading?"

Blinking eyes in puzzlement, then smiled "cutly": "There are only you and me here, why bother to pretend to be so polite. Don't say that this courtyard belongs to your King Jin, even if there are tables, chairs, cups and cups in this room. It belongs to your Prince Jin, you can come and leave whenever you want, who dares to make irresponsible remarks?"

King Jin slightly raised his phoenix eyes and slid across the cover of the book, and seeing that he was reading "The Seven Techniques of Yin Talismans in This Classic", he took advantage of the situation and asked: "So those who are good at harming pleasure, swear that if you break the water on a dike of thousands of feet, turn a round stone In the Valley of Ten Thousand Renrens. Nianqing, why do you have something that must be accomplished, but you are disturbed by distracting thoughts?"

There is no doubt about him: "I read this book just to slay the dragon and amuse myself. If it is said that what must happen is to kill you and that dog emperor to avenge my father and brother! As for distracting thoughts..." He glanced slightly After a flash, he tried to cover up the past, and then said angrily, "Why did I have any selfish thoughts!"

King Jin sighed: "Oh, you don't have the heart to kill me, and you are not capable enough to kill the emperor. The only way now is to let our uncle and nephew kill each other, right?"

Shen Si's face flickered and changed a few times, and finally smiled bitterly: "Thank you, my lord, for your suggestion, this is indeed a good idea."

King Jin was about to say something more when light footsteps came from the yard.The two looked out the door, it turned out that the doctor from the mansion brought the little boy to change Shen Si's medicine.Seeing that King Jin was also there, the doctor hurried forward to salute, intending to leave first and come back for consultation later, so as not to hinder the business of the prince and the young master.

King Jin waved his hand: "It's okay, the two of us are just chatting, let's change the medicine for him first."

The doctor and Shen Si went around the screen and entered the bedroom, and soon the room was filled with the aroma of herbs and a faint smell of blood.King Jin was flipping through the books on the shelf, and the little boy came out holding the old bandages and empty medicine bottles that had been replaced.At a glance, King Jin saw the faint blood stains on the white cloth belt, which was dazzlingly red.A few days ago on the boat, he personally changed Shen Si's dressing. The wound extending from the lower abdomen to the rib was obviously about to grow new flesh. He remembered it very clearly!

After a while, when the doctor also retreated, the King of Jin pretended to be casual and asked, "Is your injury healed?"

The doctor answered honestly: "My son is young and has a good foundation. Compared with ordinary people, he has recovered very quickly. It's just that he doesn't know how to take care of himself, which makes the injury repeat a little bit. Although there is no serious problem after diagnosis and treatment, after all, it is still a serious problem. Harmful to the body."

King Jin nodded, his eyes dimmed a bit.If he was doubting and probing before, then there is no need for probing now.The appearance may be similar, the kung fu may be evenly matched, fleeing into the palace may be fishing in troubled waters, the bow and arrow may be different, it may be framed, and Dudu's injuries cannot be fabricated by others!

Alright, Nian Qing, this time the king will grant your wish..."
