"died."
"Dead?" Li Hong glanced at Wei Tuqi's apologetic eyes and hurriedly bent down to check. He saw that Quan Shancai and Su Honghui were both shot in the back, and Quan Shancai actually had an extra arrow on his neck.
Looking at the two people's silent cheeks, Li Hong's hand on Quan Shancai's back was strong, and the arrow was instantly pulled out from the back of Quan Shancai's neck, and the handful of blood he brought was instantly sprinkled. On the face of the soldier behind him.
"Is this an arrow from Zhe Chong Mansion of the Tang Dynasty?" Li Hong looked at the trace of white meat on the arrow. The arrow body was very light in his hand, but such an arrow could shoot so accurately. , which also surprised him.
Yu Tuqi came closer and looked at the prismatic arrow, and there were some tiny barbs on the arrow. Although they were not big, if they penetrated into the flesh, it would be extremely uncomfortable, and he wanted to pull it out. If you shoot an arrow, you will definitely bring out a piece of meat.
"Probably not. This arrow should be used in the mountains and forests. Hunters will use it more. He needs such an arrow to pierce the prey's body so that the blood can escape from the wound as much as possible during the prey's escape. It flows out until it dies from exhaustion, so the arrow has small barbs and many, so it is obviously specially prepared for small prey." Yu Tuqi took the arrow from Li Hong's hand and looked at the arrow carefully.
Li Hong straightened up. The raging fire was still burning with no sign of weakening. This granary was still in ruins.
"Following the clues, since there are people hiding in the dark waiting to shoot Quan Shancai and Su Honghui, they must not have run very far. There may be other people who can help them." Li Hong looked at the darkness behind him, looking at him from three sides. It's a road. In which direction will the enemy run? Who are they
Do Li Qian and the others really have the ability to get close to her and then secretly kill Quan Shancai and the others? And these arrows were obviously not the ones used by Zhe Chong Mansion.
Thinking of this, Li Hong took back the arrow in Yu Tuqi's hand, walked towards Fan Huaiyi and others who had got off the horse, and then threw the arrow with traces of flesh and blood to Fan Huaiyi: "Look at this arrow Arrow, could it be the arrow used by Yizhou hunters?”
Fan Huaiyi picked up the arrows that fell from the air with his hands. He had lived in the back mountains of Qingcheng Mountain for many years. He was quite familiar with things like accommodation for Orions. He had also seen arrows made by Orions themselves, so after picking up the arrows, he gently used his sleeves to He wiped off the flesh and blood on it, and then measured it carefully.
Fan Ning'an and Wen Wen on the side, although they had killed people before, still couldn't help but feel a chill when they saw Fan Huaiyi wiping the flesh and blood of the arrowhead so cautiously. Such an action would be enough to wipe a fine jade treasure, but wiping a belt The flesh-and-blood arrows seemed too nerve-wracking to them.
"Back to Your Highness, no, even hunters in deep mountains and dense forests would not use this kind of arrow. The arrows are similar, but with the material of the arrow shaft, it looks..." Fan Huaiyi faced Li Hong's calm and powerful gaze. , his throat moved for a moment before he continued: "Maybe they are arrows often used by Nanzhao people. The arrows are ribbed so that they can easily penetrate the hard skin of elephants."
"Are you sure?" Li Hong raised his eyebrows. It seemed that his decision to let Yuan Shuji and Guo Shifeng leave had obviously worked.
"Xiaomin is sure." Fan Huaiyi replied firmly.
While talking, a dozen soldiers of the Guards were seen running back from the direction of the raging fire, each with traces of flames on their bodies. As they ran, they would pat the flames on their bodies from time to time with their hands. , the hair also smelled of smoke and some burnt smell.
"Your Highness, there were no dead bodies in the fire, not a single one." The soldier ran to Li Hong and gasped, but when he spoke, the smell of ashes from burned fireworks came out of his mouth.
"Not one?" Li Hong felt relieved, and then immediately said: "Chase in the direction of Chengdu Mansion!"
After finishing speaking, without waiting for the others to react, the first one got on his horse, pulled the reins and turned the horse's head, and began to gallop into the darkness along the distant firelight under the escort of dozens of guards such as Yu Tuqi. go.
Fan Huaiyi, Wen Wen and others saw that no one cared about their existence, but they did not dare to run around at this time, so they had no choice but to hurriedly look for their flatterers, then got on their horses and followed closely the backs of the guards, moving forward. Fang Chi left.
Bai Chun stood on a high ground, looking calmly at the raging fire about three or four miles away. Half an hour later, the fire still showed no sign of decreasing. It seemed that the fire would not burn out all night. Can't stop.
Not far from them, a carriage was parked quietly on the side of the road. Under the cover of darkness, the people in the carriage were also standing on a high ground, looking at the raging fire in the distance.
Even with a telescope, it was still not clear in the dark night. Who was the person in the carriage? I could only vaguely see six or seven figures wandering on the high ground, walking up and down from the high ground. Go down.
"Miss Bai, it seems they are about to leave." Yang Wu frowned. The fire burned there. Everyone present knew that there were only a limited number of thirty people on his side. He wanted to stop the five hundred people. It is obviously impossible to be called an arsonist.
"How many of us are there?" Bai Chun asked calmly, and only she knew that the hands in her sleeves were already trembling.
"Including Lian Tie and I, there are thirty-four people in total." Yang Wu looked at the figures in the distance behind him and said.
Jingwei assassination and intelligence operations, but if you go to the battlefield like a soldier, you will probably suffer a big loss. Now judging from Miss Bai's intentions, she probably wants to stop the carriage with the help of these thirty people.
Although it is not difficult to stop these people in the carriage, don't forget that there are 500 soldiers behind them. If they come back, it will be difficult for them to escape even if they want to.
And the most important thing is that when the five hundred people passed by the carriage, they didn't say hello to the people in the carriage at all, they just whizzed past. Even if they stopped Princess Fangling and others in the carriage, as long as they denied it, With the status of myself and others, I am afraid it would be difficult to stop Princess Fang Ling from leaving.
"Princess Fangling stopped here to watch the show, just to prevent her from finding an excuse to escape if she was seen by others. Those five hundred people obviously knew what they were going to do. There was no sound of fighting or fighting before the arson. , indicating that the soldiers guarding the granary must know each other, but they just need to work together to set a fire." Bai Chun analyzed the situation to himself, and it would be of no use if he just stopped Princess Fangling.
What he wants is how to make Princess Fangling admit that she ordered the fire to be set. Unless this happens, he can stop her confidently and even forcefully, otherwise...
Bai Chun's jade hand suddenly stretched out from her sleeve, and there was a token in her hand. This token was the token that His Majesty gave her before setting off from Chang'an City.
Li Qian and Li Lin helped Princess Fangling down from the high ground. After stamping their feet on the flat road, Faang Ling breathed a long sigh of relief at the stars inlaid in the night sky and said slowly: "Finally it was resolved smoothly..."
"Pei Shoude and the others haven't come back yet. Could it be..."
"Don't worry, there is no sound of fighting. As long as the direction is pointed out, five hundred people will go to Qingcheng Mountain and arrive overnight. Hong'er has just woken up at that time, and I'm afraid he hasn't figured out the situation yet."
"Then why don't you come with him...?" Li Lin's eyes were filled with fierceness and she looked at Princess Fangling and asked.
Princess Fangling didn't like Li Lin very much. In comparison, she liked Li Qian more. But at this moment, she was in a good mood, especially after the fire, she no longer had any scruples in her heart. So when facing Li Lin, she became friendly and cheerful.
"We can't touch Hong'er. After all, he is the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty. If the incident occurs in Jiannan Road, given the favor shown by His Majesty and the Queen to Hong'er, it is not an exaggeration to think that all the officials from Jiannan Road will be buried with him, including us. I'm afraid these royal family members will all be implicated. Li Qian, you have always wanted to die together with Hong'er. Such an idea..." Princess Fangling held Li Lin's hand and walked to the car and sat down. After he recovered, he continued to say to the two women: "There are actually many ways to let a person die. Sometimes it doesn't require us to do anything, and we can get more benefits."
"As long as Nanzhao is not completely captured by Hong'er, Xinuluo will still be the king of Nanzhao, and we can still have both sides. To the north, we have the Chang'an royal family supporting us on Jiannan Road, and to the southwest, Nanzhao provides us with wealth and strength. ... Sigh... It's a pity that she is gentle. If she can come back in good health this time, we can marry her to the King of England. In this way, we still have the final say in Jiannan Road." Princess Fangling stroked Li Qian's hand and said for her. Said to the worried Li Qian somewhat gloomily.
"But what if Xinuluo is not his opponent? What's more, if the granary is burned down, Li Hong will definitely go to Nanzhao with a lot of anger. If Xinuluo can't resist it, I'm afraid we will miss a great opportunity like today. I’m afraid it will be…”
"Even if Hong'er could conquer Zhenla and Nanzhao, wouldn't he have to pass through Jiannan Road when he returned in triumph? At that time, Hong'er had major or minor injuries on his body, or he walked to Jiannan Road due to the miasma of smoke. It is impossible to say that he died on the southern road..."
With a "bang", Princess Fangling felt the roof of the car above her head swaying with the bang.
"What's going on, concierge?" Faang Ling climbed up from the carriage and knocked on the window in front of him and asked.
"Princess, there is a robbery, please wait a moment."
"Who is so brave? Quickly deal with it and return to the house." Princess Fangling's expression softened a little, but her tone was still full of fierce power.
