At this time, Zi Yao withdrew her left palm, her body shook and almost fell, she spit out the ginseng slices in her mouth, and glanced at Xue Ping, who reacted extremely quickly, and hurriedly refilled Zi Yao's mouth with new ginseng slices.

All that remains is to clean up the carrion on the wound, and then stitch it up in layers, step by step, Zi Yao did it seriously, until the epidermis was treated and the wound was bandaged, and Zi Yao took a long breath and pulled out all the silver needles on King Li's body with a wave of his hand.

King Li fell forward, Zi Yao wanted to help but had no strength, Xue Ping rushed up and grabbed King Li's uninjured left arm, and quickly diagnosed and treated him, and found that he had basically been detoxified, and he couldn't do it so well.

He looked at Zi Yao with round eyes, with a thirsty attitude, Zi Yao gave him a blank look, and quickly wrote an antidote prescription.

Zi Yao stood up and said, "Brother, someone will prepare the rest of the decoction for His Royal Highness King Li, and the little sister will go change her clothes and come over!"

King Li knew that Youxue was leaving time for himself to change clothes, and the temperature of his cheeks that had originally dropped became warm again.

Xue Ping stopped his sister, shouted towards the door, jumped in a guard, and knelt on one knee to wait for Xue Ping's command.

"Arrange a warm sedan chair to send the lady back to the room to change clothes, and then accompany the lady over later, and be careful when the snow is slippery. ”

The man turned around to make arrangements, and Zi Yao smiled slightly on her lips, "Thank you, brother!"

Xue Ping smiled dotingly, and helped Zi Yao put on the fur cloak and put on the hood.

"Silly girl, of course you are my sister!"

King Li let out a soft snort, although the sound was not loud but enough for the two of them to hear, Zi Yao held back a laugh and walked out of the room.

Xue Ping rolled his eyes, turned around and looked at his friend's jealous appearance, he was satisfied all of a sudden, and walked over with a ruffian smile, "Ah Che, but you like my sister?"

King Li didn't make a sound, nodded slightly, and seeing that King Li really admitted it, Xue Ping put away his joke and said, "Ah Che, anything else is okay, just don't like my sister!"

You are the one who wants to be the emperor, in the future, there will be seventy-two concubines in the three palaces and six courts, this is not something you can control, I will not let my sister share a husband with other women, even if that person is you, even if she likes you!"

King Li's eyes trembled, and he raised his head and looked at Xue Ping seriously.

"I'm just me! Even if I get that position, I'll only like one woman in this world, and that's Youxue, and only this woman makes me want to marry a wife, do you know me for many years and still don't understand what kind of person I am?"

Xue Ping nodded, "I know who you are, so we can live and die together now, but after really getting to that position, many things are beyond your control, and it is impossible for the courtiers to agree with your decision, so I can't take risks." ”

Xue Ping's words made King Li ponder for a moment, and said solemnly: "If I had to choose between that position and her, I would choose her, but now that the country of Nanyue is in danger, I can't leave it alone, so I can only have both!"

I hope to have your blessing, but I will not back down on this matter, she can only be mine, because I can see that she likes me, which is more than a million. ”

Xue Ping was speechless, it was because he saw that his sister was in love with King Li so he strongly opposed this marriage, and he didn't want his sister to spend the rest of her life in competition for favor.

At this point, the two stopped talking, and Xue Ping found the clothes he had never worn and put them on for King Li.

At this time, the detoxification decoction was ready, and a housekeeper-like person sent it over, Xue Ping personally brought it to King Li, and he drank the medicine in one go without saying anything.

Zi Yao had already gone and returned, and when she saw the appearance of the two, she knew that they had just talked about some unpleasant topics, but Zi Yao didn't ask, because since she didn't want to tell her, it meant that the two were talking about her.

Zi Yao sat opposite the two, "When did the prince and brother happen today, can you tell me?"

Xue Ping saw that King Li didn't stop him at a glance, so he told him simply.

"Today, I accompanied King Li to visit the old general Chu, this old general Chu has been unable to get out of bed and walk recently due to the recurrence of an old injury on his leg, and his son and grandson are stationed at the border pass, King Li wants to relieve their worries, so he wants to let the foolish brother go over for treatment.

Our trip was made on the fly, so almost no one knew the itinerary, and besides, the old general's mansion was close to the east gate of the palace, so it would be easy to be subdued if the assassination was carried out, so we did not take too many people with us, only the two of us and a lieutenant general on horseback.

When we reached Dongguan Street, which was near the east gate of the General's Mansion, a few birds suddenly flew up from our right side, and Ah Che flew over and pounced on me, and then a dozen men in black rushed out and attacked us, and I found out that Ah Che had been wounded by an arrow.

So we hurriedly blew the emergency whistle, and the dozen or so people seemed to know us very well, so they quickly evacuated, and several black-clothed people who were injured and could not evacuate in time also committed suicide by taking poison, and then we returned to the house. ”

Zi Yao frowned, "Where are the bodies of those black-clothed people? Have they been inspected, and have the items at the scene been cleaned up?"

Xue Ping replied: "Not long after our whistle sounded, people came out of the General's Mansion, and the bodies of several black-clothed people have been sent to the Criminal Department for temporary storage, and the autopsy has not been arranged for the time being, as for the scene, there is nothing at the scene!"

Seeing her ask like this, King Li asked in a low voice, "Youxue, do you think there is anything wrong?"

Zi Yao walked up to the two of them, stretched out her hand from the sleeve cage, and the palm of her hand was the arrow that had just been taken off King Li's shoulder, which had now been cleaned and displayed to the two of them for a closer look.

I saw that this arrow was pure black, not that ordinary bows and arrows were solid, but that it was only supported by four pillars, and although it was slender, it was extremely sharp and strong.

The hollow part in the middle, at a glance, you can know that you can hide poison or oil, Zi Yao stretched out her hand and pressed a mechanism inside, and six barbs stretched out from the side of the real arrow, each barb was made of silver-white stainless steel, which was very sharp.

It's just that the black metal of this arrow part, as well as those few claw-like silver-white barbs, King Li and Xue Ping have never seen it, and they looked at Zi Yao with great confusion.

Zi Yao explained seriously: "This black arrow is made of meteorite iron and a special metal manganese, this kind of arrow not only does not rust but also remains sharp forever, and the penetration is extremely strong, and ordinary bronze shields cannot stop its penetrating power."

As for the six barbs made of stainless steel, these metal forging techniques are not something that the South Vietnamese Kingdom can have, if my judgment is correct, they should come from the Qiang Kingdom, where the minerals are extremely rich, and there are also a lot of earth and fire resources, so the forging and smelting technology is very developed. ”10
