Chapter 239: Back to the Black Cauldron

"No arrows?" At first Yongwang was suspicious.

The Da people also use arrows, but the bows and arrows they commonly use are different from those in the Central Plains, and the weapons must be reported for inspection when entering and leaving the passes, not to mention entering the capital, not to mention that they are foreigners, and it is especially difficult to smuggle weapons in.

The saber is a portable piece, and it will be released directly after inspection, but the bow and arrow are not.

They don't use the simplest method of assassination, such as arrows, but only sabres.

Is it to leave no traces of the Central Plains people doing things themselves? is willing to bear all the charges for this incident, how selfless it is to carry the blame.

"There are no arrows.

However, it does not mean that no one has released arrows. ”

Mao Baqian said, placing another piece of evidence in front of him.

Chu Yongwang looked at the few hairs on the cloth and wondered, "What is this?" ”

"The stubble of the arrow feathers."

Mao 8,000 Dao.

Chu Yongwang suddenly said: "Where did you find it?" Mao Baqian: "On the door panel of the carriage." ”

He simulated the situation at that time, it should be someone sitting in the front and back of the car door, someone shot an arrow, and the arrow slashed off the tail feathers when it hit the door board.

Sitting there were either coachmen or Jing Qi.

The coachman's body had been found, and there were no sword wounds on it.

In that case, the person who will shoot this arrow will almost certainly be Jing Qi.

"How long will it take to find out where the arrows are coming from?" Chu Yongwang asked.

"An hour."

Mao Baqian said, "Dali Temple is comparing evidence, this arrow feather is from the Central Plains, and the scope of comparison is basically determined." ”

Chu Yongwang nodded: "Can you find Yuning if you find Arrow Feather?" Mao Baqian shook his head: "You can only find the person who released the arrow, and maybe you can find the person behind the scenes."

But the whereabouts of Her Royal Highness the Princess, these alone are not enough. ”

"Finding the mastermind behind the scenes, can't you force Yu Ning's whereabouts?"

"It may force them to kill people."

Chu Yongwang didn't want this person to speak so bluntly and hurtfully, and he was choked on the fire for a while.

Finding what mastermind is not the most urgent thing for him now, even if he can't find anything else, he must first find Yuning.

"There's no time to wait, you have to find Yuning.

It's a dead order. ”

Chu Yongwang stared at him, "I can't find Yuning's whereabouts before dark today, so you and Dali Siqing will drink tea in prison." ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's anxious subordinates understand, but some things are useless in a hurry."

Mao Baqian said, "Her Royal Highness the princess went down to give a clue, and you may need to wait for the other party to give one." ”

"If the Da Rans hurt her, they don't need to let us know."

Chu Yongwang was really impatient, "If they want to take Yuning out of the city, how can they find it?!" ”

"There's no way they're going to take Her Highness out of the city."

Mao Baqian was sure, "All the customs clearance records last night have been surveyed, if you can't get out last night, it's impossible to get out of the city today."

They have so obviously exposed the identity of the Da people, and they are already going to bear the charge of kidnapping the princess this time, why should they escape? They will come up with conditions. ”

Chu Yongwang was upset, so he handed over the investigation to him for the time being, and took Jia Jingjing back to the palace.

The carriage passed through the city, and Chu Yongwang came to the palace gate, but he heard someone calling him outside.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, it is Prince Su's carriage."

Jia Jingjing lifted the curtain and glanced outside, turned back to Chu Yong and said.

"What is he doing at this time?"

Chu Yongwang was restless and ordered the coachman to stop.

Because in addition to the matter of the early moon night, there were several times more people patrolling the city, although Chu Yongwang was not afraid that he would be assassinated at this time, but he was still a little more careful.

Coming side by side is indeed the chariot and horse of the early eternal year, and the jeweled and extravagant decoration can be seen at a glance.

Chu Yongwang didn't get out of the car, just lifted the curtain and looked outside.

"Jiu'er."

Chu Yongnian also lifted the curtain and put one arm on the window frame, "I heard that Xiao Yuning lost it." ”

"Do you know where she is?" Chu Yongwang was too lazy to talk nonsense with him.

"You think so highly of being a brother, how do I know where she will be."

Chu Yongnian was rarely serious, "But as a brother, I can help you." ”

"How can you help?"

"If you have anything you want to know, you can answer it."

Chu Yongwang thought it was all nonsense when he heard it, but after thinking about it, he said, "I really have something to ask you." ”

The two carriages drove side by side and turned to the East Palace together.

Chu Yongwang met Chu Yongnian in the study, and Chu Yongnian moved a chair to sit opposite him unceremoniously.

"I remember that the imperial brother is very good at archery."

Chu Yongwang said, "I don't know if so many years have passed, but are you unfamiliar?" ”

"Do you want to be a brother, show Jiu'er now."

Chu Yongnian was keenly aware that he was doubting himself.

Chu Yongwang shook his head: "Even if the imperial brother wants to pretend to be rusty now, this palace can't see it." ”

Chu Yongnian's face was obviously a little unhappy: "Jiu'er suspects that the brother will hurt Yu Ning? ”

"Brother Huang said that if there is anything you want to know, you can answer, and the palace hasn't finished asking, why should Brother Huang take the initiative to claim it himself?" Chu Yongwang was not to be outdone.

Chu Yongnian smiled bitterly and leaned back in the chair: "Then follow what Jiu'er asks." ”

"Where is the person who used the Pope's brother to use archery back then?" Chu Yongwang asked.

Chu Yongnian thought for a while: "Master has been living in seclusion for many years, and I don't know where he went later. ”

Chu Yongwang didn't quite believe what he said.

But Chu Yongwang strangely didn't doubt that he would really attack Chu Yuewan.

Over the years, Chu Yuewan has had a particularly good relationship with Prince Su's family, and if a person of Chu Yongnian's status really wants to do something, he doesn't need to do it himself.

It's just an archery, he hasn't seen it since the imperial brother shot the eldest prince more than ten years ago.

He just suspected that the person who had taught Chu Yongnian back then should not have taught him alone.

Chu Yongwang has always believed that the biggest threat to his throne comes from his father, not his brother.

Back then, in Zhaohua Palace, he would rather die and hand over the throne to the person in front of him, but he didn't accept it.

So later, Chu Yongnian's various provocative threats and obvious jokes about him were just his bad taste.

After all, how could someone who really wants to seize the East Palace say "your East Palace is for me to live in"? Chu Yongnian noticed his hesitation, and the corners of his mouth hooked slightly.

"Believe in brother."

Chu Yongnian held his thin shoulder, "After so many years, you still don't know me?" Chu Yongwang lowered his head and thought about it, pushed his hand away, and called Jia Jingjing in.

"Show the drawings drawn by the survey of Dali Temple to Prince Su."

Chu Yongwang Road.

Jia Jingjing agreed, asked someone to present the drawings, and spread them out on the table.

Chu Yongnian got up and walked over to take a look, and he understood the roughly.

"Brother Huang is good at bows and arrows, if you shoot at the people in the carriage, where should the archers be?" Chu Yongwang asked.

Chu Yongnian did some mental arithmetic and pointed out the path: "According to the speed of the carriage, the range of reverse launch is also different. ”

"Two horses riding side by side, how will it be the fastest?" The carriage on which he rode on the evening of the first moon was two horses, and although the horsepower was sufficient, the carriage was also wider and heavier, and usually for the sake of comfort, this kind of carriage would not drive too fast, so as not to stumble when turning.

However, it is less likely to tip over than a horse-drawn cart.

At the beginning of the year, it is best to travel by car on weekdays, and he knows a lot about cars and horses.

Moreover, his archery fame back then was not only among the princes and nobles, but also the famous generals in the military camp, and the most glorious years were unsurpassed.

Excluding the deliberate patting of the prince's ass, everyone has seen it with their own eyes in many events, and his strength is generally credible.

Chu Yongwang felt that it was not wrong to ask him about this matter.

Chu Yongnian also admitted that he had this ability, and immediately took a pen and paper to draw the range he guessed, and finally after comparison, he circled an area for Chu Yongwang.

"The mountain roads over there are all dense forests, and Jing Yi will walk this way, most likely because it can block and disturb the field of vision, increase obstacles, and not be easily attacked by arrows."

Chu Yongnian pointed to the mountain road where the accident occurred, "In this way, the timing is extremely important. ”

There was almost no unobstructed part of the mountain road, and the terrain was relatively high, and if you wanted to hit the people in the car, you would have to stand on top of a tree on the hill or on the top of a building on the opposite side.

The buildings on the other side of the mountain road are too far away to be shot normally.

"It's definitely still in ambush on the mountain."

Chu Yongnian decided.

"If it's the imperial brother, can you shoot it if you stand on the opposite side?" Chu Yongwang looked down at the picture he had drawn.
