"What's wrong?" Zhang Shou asked the doorman with an ugly face.

How could this person be so ignorant, could it be that he is a newcomer to the house.

"Stop coming." The man was still more than ten steps away from Zhang Shou, and the doorman stretched out his hand to stop him.

"Oh no, I got the news that someone is going to assassinate you."

"What?" Zhang Shou was shocked when he heard this, first looked left and right, and then planned to stay away from the gate and return to the courtyard.

Zhang Shou was very puzzled at the moment.

Although the voice of himself and other pro-Qin faction personnel in Wei has increased with the alliance between Qin and Wei, they are still not at the highest level in Wei State, and they are just using the power of Qin State, how can anyone want to assassinate him?

Could it be Gongsun Yan who wants to take revenge on himself?

Zhang Shou only thought of this one possibility.

Just when Zhang Shou and his doorman were shocked, the man quickly knocked the doorman in front of him to the ground, and then took out a delicate small crossbow from his wide sleeves and shot a crossbow arrow at Zhang Shou a few steps away.

Zhang Shou couldn't dodge, he was shot in the chest by a crossbow arrow, let out a miserable scream, blood flowed from his chest, and he fell to the ground.

"There are assassins..."

At this time, the guards at Zhang Shou's gate reacted and shouted to kill the assassin.

The assassin left the small crossbow on the ground, faced the siege of the guards, smiled disdainfully, and when he passed by Zhang Shou's side, he pulled out the long sword on Zhang Shou's body, raised the sword in his hand, killed several guards in a row, and escaped from the guards, and the news was in the night.

"Your Majesty!" Zhang Shou's doorman picked up Zhang Shou who was lying in a pool of blood in a panic and shouted: "Quick, go and ask the doctor Zixi." ”

During the Warring States Period, ordinary doctors were called physicians or disease doctors, and the imperial physician was an official official position, and ordinary physicians could not be called imperial physicians, as for the title of doctor, it would only appear after the Song Dynasty.

As for why he didn't call the imperial doctor at this time, but went to the doctor Zixi, it was because Zixi was the successor of Bian Que, who had stayed in Daliang of Wei for more than 20 years and received a lot of disciples.

In Daliang, the group of people with the best medical skills are not the official imperial doctors of the Wei State, but the wandering folk Bian Que and his disciples.

A few years ago, Bian Que left Daliang and went to Luoyang, Zixi and some other people stayed in Daliang because it was difficult to leave their homeland.

At this time, Zhang Shou pressed the crossbow arrow with one hand, and the doorman who was staring at him hatedly: "Quick, go and catch the murderer, and immediately go to the king and say that Gongsun Yan assassinated me." ”

"No, your lord."

Tonight's Daliang, because of the assassination of Zhang Shou, was very lively.

Zhang Shoumenke's complaint against Gongsun Yan to the King of Wei will not be said for the time being.

Tian Xu learned the news that Zhang Shou was stabbed and seriously injured and dying, but he only bowed slightly.

After Gongsun Yan found out, he was first overjoyed, and then immediately reacted that someone was framing him.

Now in the entire Daliang City, who doesn't know that his Gongsun Yan and Zhang Shou are incompatible, if anyone wants Zhang Shou to die the most, his Gongsun Yan will definitely be ranked first.

But Gongsun Yan himself, but he never took Zhang Shou to heart, the opponent in his eyes was only Zhang Yi of the Xiangguo of the Qin State, and the others, including Wei Xiangtian Xu, were never regarded as real opponents by him.

Regarding Gongsun Yan's conceit, outsiders must not know that the murderer behind the assassination of Zhang Shou is definitely not Zhang Shou, but his Gongsun Yan.

Although Gongsun Yan hadn't thought of who the real murderer was, it didn't prevent him from figuring out that this matter was seriously unfavorable to him.

"Someone, I'm going to see the king." Gongsun Yan shouted to the outside world.

Gongsun Yan took a carriage to the outside of the Wei Palace, and after getting off the carriage, he shouted to the guards on the wall of the Wei Palace: "Old man Gongsun Yan, I have something important to ask to see the king." ”

Hearing Gongsun Yan's voice, the general in charge of guarding the Wei Palace shouted: "Please wait, the last general will go to report to the king immediately." ”

After a short time, the general returned to the city wall and shouted to Gongsun Yan: "The king said that it is late tonight, and there is something to talk about tomorrow, please go back." ”

When Gongsun Yan heard this, his face turned pale, knowing that King Wei no longer believed in him.

At this time, the king of Wei had already confirmed that his Gongsun Yan was the murderer of Zhang Shou, otherwise, it would be impossible not to be unwilling to see him.

The king of Wei didn't want to see him, so he naturally couldn't force it, so he had to drive away.

Gongsun Yan returned to the carriage and ordered to return home, and immediately thought about how to break the situation, how to find the real murderer of Zhang Shou, and clear his suspicions.

Just halfway back to his house, Gongsun Yan heard the sound of another carriage passing by his carriage.

"Whose carriage was it just now, and where it was going?" Gongsun Yan asked the driver who was driving the car.

Although he knew that this road would only lead to the Wei Palace, and although he knew that the person summoned by the King of Wei so late would only be Xiangguo Tian Xuan, Gongsun Yan still asked.

"Back to the king, it was Xiangguo's carriage just now, heading towards the Wei Palace."

Gongsun Yantie's face suddenly turned pale, and then he breathed a sigh of relief and sighed: "Fortunately, Zhang Shou is not dead now, and there is still a circle on the ground, otherwise..."

At this time, the person who most wanted Zhang Shou to die was his grandson Yan.

"The King." Tian Xu saluted King Wei Xiang.

"Xiangguo knows what happened when the widow summoned him late at night." King Wei Xiang asked.

"King, but Zhang Shou was stabbed." Tian Yu sighed, his face unchanged.

"Exactly." King Wei Xiang nodded, and sighed softly: "Tonight, Minister Zhang Shou was assassinated in his mansion, and now his life and death are unknown, and the widow has just received the news that the assassin is a former disciple of the rhinoceros." A year ago, because the rhino head was defeated by the Qin state, he broke away from the rhino head. ”

"A month ago, the assassin worshiped Zhang Shou's door and acted as Zhang Shou's doorman, and tonight he shot and injured Zhang Shou with a strong crossbow."

As soon as King Wei Xiang beckoned, a eunuch immediately brought Tian Xu a plate, and on the plate was the murder weapon crossbow left by the murderer when he fled.

Tian Su picked up the crossbow, looked at it carefully for a while, and said, "A good crossbow is the best crossbow in Korea, and it is rarely spread to other countries. ”

The crossbow appeared in China very early, the specific time is no longer reliable, the legend of the crossbow is the invention of the Yellow Emperor in ancient times, but this is similar to the "Yellow Emperor's Neijing", can only be attributed to the legend.

This legend can also reflect a problem, that is, the crossbow appeared very early, and among the seven great countries of the Warring States, Korea is a connoisseur who is good at making bows and crossbows, according to the popular saying: the world's strongest bows and crossbows are all from Han, Xizi, Shaofu, Shili, and Yuanlai, all shot 600 steps away.

Therefore, as soon as this crossbow arrived in his hand, Tian Yu immediately recognized it.

"Yes, it's a good crossbow from South Korea, where did this crossbow come from?" King Wei Xiang asked.

Tian Yu touched his beard and thought for a while, glanced at King Wei Xiang, and asked, "The king is suspicious of rhino heads?" The rhino head has served as the prime minister in South Korea for several years, if there is anyone in the city of Daliang who has such a sophisticated crossbow, it is the rhino head. ”

"Xiangguo also thinks that Zhang Shou was assassinated by the rhino head?" King Wei Xiang asked seriously.

Tian Xu shook his head, pondered for a moment and said: "No, the king, Weichen has been friends with the rhino head for decades, and he understands the rhino head's personality, although the rhino head is despicable and shameless, unscrupulous, and full of hatred for Qin Guo and Zhang Yi, he also wants Zhang Shou to die immediately, but to say that the rhino head will assassinate Zhang Shou, he Zhang Shou is not qualified to do so." ”

"If it was King Qin or Zhang Yi who was assassinated tonight, then Weichen could be sure that it must have been done by the rhinoceros. As for Zhang Shou, it is impossible for the rhino head to do it, and against Zhang Shou, the rhino head will not lose so much value. ”

"Xiangguo has a point." King Wei Xiang frowned, and asked very puzzled: "It's just that if it wasn't done by the rhino head, then who would the murderer be?" ”
