Wei Chihai, the minister of the military department of Moro State, was completely forced by Zhang Ruming to be anxious. As an important minister of the court, he can not care about the arrogant and domineering uncle of the emperor, but Wei Chihai is unwilling to provoke this idle Wenge elder. After all, Wen Ge was always a former emperor, and he was an old minister respected very much by the lord of the country, Wupol Khan. Besides, Zhang Ruming shouted in the name of Wei Chihai just now, even if Wei Chihai clarifies, I'm afraid no one will believe it.

Huo Zasi seemed to understand something, don't look at Shangguan Xuanwu seems to be reckless, but in this small auction, in the blink of an eye, two strong enemies were erected for the important ministers of the Moro Army. Don't underestimate this small move, if it doesn't show the advantages and disadvantages in peacetime, but in times of war, the constraints of political enemies will put the Moro army in a dilemma. It can even seriously affect the entire plan of the military department for the deployment of troops and horses and the supply of armaments.

Huo Zasi saw Yu Chihai frantically grabbing Zhang Ruming's neck and did not step forward to stop it. He knew that no matter how crazy Wei Chihai was, he didn't dare to show what he was doing. If Yu Chihai really beats him up in a fit of rage, Huo Zasi absolutely believes that Zhang Ruming can kill him with a dead face.

Yu Chihai grabbed Zhang Ruming in anger and pulled him back suddenly, originally he wanted to throw Zhang Ruming to the ground. But listening to the sound of 'poof', Zhang Ruming shouted like killing a pig. The sharp arrow that was originally shot at his bare head was stabbed into his right chest because of Yu Chihai's sudden pull.

Yu Chihai was startled, but saw two figures flash over, and Hozath and Yu Chihai's guard commander rushed to the front of the curtain almost at the same time.

The commander of the guards drew his waist knife and was about to raise the curtain, but Hozath held it down, "Don't open it, be careful that the other party continues to shoot." Lord Wei Chi, there are assassins, please take Lord Shangguan and hide in a corner. ”

After Huo Zasi finished speaking, the commander of Yu Chihai's guards nodded slightly, and the two of them looked cautiously at the opposite side through the gap in the curtain. Although the cold arrow just now was too sudden, many people in the hall were paying attention to this room. Especially the prince's guards in Xiaoyao Garden, watching the cold light flash, they couldn't help but be shocked when they heard the screams.

"There are assassins, no one is allowed to leave, and all passages are closed. Quick, it's the arrows from here, follow me. ”

With a shout, the guards of Xiaoyao Yuan rushed in with a hula. There are so many sharp masters tonight, and the vigilance arrangement of Xiaoyao Yuan is also very in place.

Wei Chihai heard the shouts outside, and the people who knew Prince Xuanchi began to investigate. Yu Chihai hurriedly looked at Zhang Ruming, and was startled when he saw the arrow on his chest. If something really happened to the envoy of the Great Calendar Kingdom, he could not afford to take this responsibility. But fortunately, Zhang Ruming snorted in pain, and the arrow didn't seem to hit the point.

"Someone! Come on, someone, someone was shot. Wei Chihai shouted loudly.

Huo Zasi also flashed over, squatted down and saw that Zhang Ruming was not unconscious, and hurriedly said, "Lord Shangguan, don't move, be careful of hurting your heart." Bear with it, there should be a medical officer in the Xiaoyao Garden. ”

"it hurts me to death, I'm paralyzed, and even my armor has been ejaculated. Lao Huo, go, you must catch the kid who shot the cold arrow. Zhang Ruming scolded.

Hearing that Zhang Ruming was wearing armor, Yu Chihai and Huo Zasi secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Just as Hozath was about to say a few words of comfort, the door opened, and a middle-aged man dressed in luxury walked in.

Wei Chihai was stunned, and hurriedly clenched his fists and said, "Your Royal Highness, I didn't expect you to be here." ”

Wu Xuanchi said embarrassedly, "This king just arrived, but I didn't expect this to happen." Let's not talk about it for now, come on, and quickly carry the injured to a safe place in the backyard. ”

Wu Xuanchi glanced at Zhang Ruming as he spoke, and at this glance, Wu Xuan couldn't help but shudder, and almost mistook Zhang Ruming for his imperial nephew Wu Batu. Although the courtiers were secretly discussing this matter these days, Wu Xuanchi rarely went to the court and simply ignored these rumors.

Several big men rushed in and struggled to lift Zhang Ruming to the soft chair. Yu Chihai looked at Huo Zasi and said, "You go and protect Lord Shangguan, here is me and His Royal Highness the Prince, and the murderer will definitely not be able to escape." ”

Hozath just nodded slightly, didn't say anything, and followed everyone to the backyard.

There was already chaos in the auction hall of Xiaoyao Garden, but the surrounding area was full of guards with sharp weapons, and everyone in the lobby had to sit down helplessly. However, Uncle Guo and Wen Ge Lao didn't even say hello, and directly took people back to the mansion. Something happened in Wu Xuanchi's field, and of course the two of them were reluctant to show their faces. If it is said that the strict investigation will offend Wu Xuanchi, if this matter is to be settled, I am afraid that Wei Chihai will not agree. What's more, as two people, they don't want to get involved, so it's better to avoid it. Uncle Guo and Wen Ge simply smeared oil on the soles of their feet and left Xiaoyao Garden.

Wu Xuanchi's face was gloomy, and Wei Chihai whispered to inform Shangguan Xuanwu of the importance. Don't look at Wu Xuan's lack of involvement in court politics, but he also knows the current crisis in the Moro Kingdom. If it weren't for the necessity, he knew that the emperor's brother Vupor Khan would definitely not agree to peace talks.

As the two were talking, the chief steward of Xiaoyao Yuan hurriedly walked in, "Lord, the dark arrow was shot from the opposite word No. 6." ”

"Did anyone catch it?" Wu Xuanchi asked angrily with his hands behind his back.

"This~!" The chief steward glanced at Wei Chihai.

"If you have something to say, you don't have to say it. If this matter is not investigated clearly, this king will not be able to get out of it. Wu Xuanchi glared at the chief steward.

"Yes, the little one knows the mistake. Lord, the murderer has been blocked in the house by us. It's just that ~ they all committed suicide by taking poison. There was a crossbow at the scene, which could be folded and carried around, so it avoided the eyes of the guards. It is estimated that after the Lord sees it, he may find something. ”

Wu Xuanchi and Wei Chihai were stunned for a moment, and then they saw the chief steward waving his hand, and a guard behind him respectfully handed over a bow and crossbow. The two of them only glanced at each other, and immediately understood what the chief steward meant. This special bow and crossbow is made of high-grade materials, whether it is dry, horn, tendon, glue, silk, lacquer, etc., at first glance, it is made by the court. And there is a special sign on the crossbow that also indicates where the bow came from.

Wu Xuanchi asked, "Can the person who committed the assassination be registered?" ”

"Back to the Lord, Xiaoyao Yuan has always been a wide range of guests, and never makes detailed registration. Usually, except for the adults in the court, sometimes the silver is not enough to hang the account, and Xiaoyao Yuan generally does not carefully check the details. The three men had paid the required two taels of silver, and their registration only showed that they were West Vietnamese leather merchants. ”

The chief steward looked at Wu Xuanchi cautiously, and said in his heart that in the competition arena of all countries in the world, how could there be a careful interrogation of the identity of the guests. As long as you give enough money, it doesn't matter if you are a bandit or habitual bandit. Your Royal Highness knows this.

Wei Chihai knew that the responsibility was heavy, and said in a deep voice, "Your Royal Highness, this matter must be taken over by the lower officials, and I hope that His Royal Highness the Prince Haihan." ”

Wu Xuanchi frowned, "What do you want to do?" ”

"Don't move anything in the corpse room, the lower officials will ask Your Majesty to send someone from the Criminal Department to investigate. In addition, everyone in the lobby should be reviewed in detail. No suspicious person should be spared. ”

Wu Xuanchi's face showed displeasure, "Lord Wei Chi, if you do this, this king's Xiaoyao Garden will be closed." Now that the murderer is dead, do you still need to mobilize the people? ”

Wei Chihai bowed in embarrassment, "His Royal Highness, this matter~ the lower officials can be accommodating, but I'm afraid~ that the envoy of the Great Calendar Kingdom will not agree." ”

"He? Hmph, he's the oldest, but he's just an envoy. ”

"His Royal Highness the Prince doesn't know, this person~ is very important for peace talks. Even His Majesty was polite to this person. Otherwise, the lower official went to consult with him. As long as the injury is not serious, the lower officials try not to affect the prince's wealth. ”

Wu Xuan thought for a while, "Okay, this king is waiting for you here." However, the guests of Xiaoyao Yuan must be allowed to go, which is the bottom line of this king. Otherwise, this king will not have the face to open Xiaoyao Yuan again. ”

"This~Okay."

Wei Chihai reluctantly agreed, and hurriedly went to the backyard to see if Zhang Ruming was okay. In case this guy is shot half to death, I am afraid that His Majesty will be angry, and Wu Xuanchi's Xiaoyao Yuan will really close its doors.

When Wei Chihai came to the backyard, he thought that Zhang Ruming was lying miserably on the bed. Unexpectedly, this guy had a boiled wrap wrapped around his chest, and he was sitting on the bed and scolding the street. Wei Chihai called the medical officer to ask, only to know that although the arrow penetrated the soft armor, it did not penetrate his flesh. Not even the bones were hurt. And the arrows are not poisonous, they are only minor injuries. Yu Chihai knew very well how powerful the crossbow arrows made by Xiyue Palace were, and it seemed that not only his flesh had a role, but that soft armor should be a top-grade armor divine robe. Otherwise, this arrow is enough to shoot him through the heart.

When Zhang Ruming saw Yu Chihai's arrival, he suddenly came to his senses. His blood can't be shed in vain, and he usually has to fight for three points if he is unreasonable, let alone take advantage of himself.

"You came just in time, this Heavenly Master must enter the palace to see your majesty. Lao Tzu negotiated peace with you with sincerity, and actually used this method to harm me. Okay, then I'll make it clear to His Majesty Vupor Khan, if you want to kill or scrape Lao Tzu, you will never frown. ”

Wei Chihai listened to the buzzing of his brain, "I said Lord Shangguan, what does this mean, this matter has nothing to do with me Moro at all." ”

Wei Chihai hurriedly told him about the investigation, and especially focused on the origin of the bow and crossbow. Immediately afterwards, Wei Chihai put down his frame and begged Zhang Ruming to give him a little thin noodles and not make a big deal about it. After all, Wu Xuanchi was still waiting over there, and after the stiffness, Zhang Ruming was nothing, and he Wei Chihai was poured blood mold. If I knew this, I wouldn't have followed if I was killed.

Zhang Ruming thought for a while, "Old Captain, it's okay to let this Heavenly Master settle this matter." However, you have to promise me a few conditions. ”

Yu Chihai nodded fiercely, and said in his heart that as long as you don't make a big fuss, you can agree to any conditions, and it doesn't even matter if you change your name and surname.

Zhang Ruming was not polite, first of all, both Firefox and Dayu had to be used as an apology. Second, the matter can not be pursued, but it must be strictly investigated. In addition, it is also necessary to report to Vupor Khan. Because Zhang Ruming wanted to let Vupor Khan know that this was simply the West Vietnam sabotaging the peace talks. It's the same as the last time he set up an ambush to kill the prince, but this time the target is changed to him.

Wei Chihai gritted his teeth, he felt that Zhang Ruming's conditions were not too much. After all, there was no trouble in the city, and the wind and rain were holding on to Xiaoyao Yuan, if that was the case, not only would Wu Xuanchi's face be lost, but it would also make Wu Xuanchi blame his anger on Wei Chihai's head. At that time, he, the minister of war, will not have a good life.

Wu Xuanchi, under Wei Chihai's bitter pleading, finally agreed to these conditions. Since he wanted to report to the emperor's brother, Wu Xuanchi also had to discuss his rhetoric with Wei Chihai. It seems that this matter can only fall on the head of Xiyue.

Zhang Ruming exchanged an arrow wound for two beloved lots. Uncle Guo left in a hurry, and he didn't even have time to get it. On the way back, Zhang Ruming wore the white bear skin, looked at the fire fox in the wooden cage at his feet, and even forgot the pain.

In the store in the city of Yaks, as soon as Long Luo received the news of Xiaoyao Yuan, he immediately came to meet Liu Fu. The three family deceased did not succeed in the assassination, which was very bad for them. However, Long Luo knew that he couldn't just give up. They must look for an opportunity to assassinate Shangguan Xuanwu again. The eldest brother Long Mu has already said that as long as this person is not allowed to go back alive, the peace talks will definitely break down. Only in this way can the safety of the family be guaranteed.

Liu Fu learned that Long's furniture stabbed himself and missed it, and he also used Xiyue's palace-made crossbow arrows, and he also had a lot of resentment in his heart. But since the matter has happened, Liu Fu knows that it is useless to complain. Now the plan can only be to quickly order everyone to lie dormant to prevent the whole city from purging the Western Vietnamese spies under the anger of the Moro Lord.

Early the next morning, the ministers above the early dynasty were talking, and even Xiao Zhicheng got the news. Especially when he learned that Zhang Ruming offended Uncle Guo and Wen Ge Lao on behalf of Wei Chihai, Xiao Zhi Chengle's stomach hurt. It's too late to hide from this kind of harmful spirit, Wei Chihai actually accompanied him to Xiaoyao Garden, isn't it okay to find trouble. Xiao Zhicheng knew very well that the peace talks were important to Moro, but fortunately, nothing happened to the dead fat man, otherwise no one would be able to save Yu Chihai.

As soon as Vupor Khan came to power, the ministers kept silent about the matter. Wei Chihai drooped his face depressedly, and it was not until the end of the early dynasty that he found an opportunity to play a secret performance to Wupol Khan.

When Wupol Khan heard this, he was furious and immediately ordered to take down all the personnel of Xiaoyao Yuan for investigation. Wei Chihai hurriedly knelt down to dissuade him, so that he could persuade Vupor Khan.

Wu Boer gasped and scolded, "The matter of peace talks is related to the life and death of my Moro, can't you even see this." If the war continues until the next year, I will give Moro what will feed the people of the world. Such an important person, you still run around with him, what is your intention? ”

Wei Chihai's legs weakened, and he knelt on the ground and pleaded, "Your Majesty is angry, and Wei Chen is worried about his safety that he personally accompanies him." This matter has been investigated in detail overnight, except for the three corpses and the bow and crossbow, it really has nothing to do with Xiaoyaoyuan. Perhaps, this is exactly what the mastermind behind the scenes wants to blame His Highness Xuan Chi. ”

"Who's behind it? Then tell me, who is behind this? When Shangguan Xuanwu dies, who is most beneficial? ”

Wei Chihai's heart was shocked, in the past, he tried his best to defend Western Vietnam, but now, Wei Chihai didn't dare to continue to speak for them.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this matter must be done by Xiyue. Apart from them, Chen couldn't think of anyone else who wanted to assassinate Shangguan Xuanwu. ”

Vupor Khan gasped slightly, "It doesn't have to be Xiyue, maybe there are other people who want to disrupt the peace talks." I ordered you to investigate the whole city, and you must give me a satisfactory explanation for this matter. Let's go down. ”

"Minister~ obey the order!" Yu Chihai hurriedly agreed, bowed and retreated.

Vupor Khan waved his hand and called Zamido, the deputy head of the guard, over.

"You personally bring the people and horses to pick up that Shangguan Xuanwu into the palace."

"No!" Zamido agreed and retreated.

Vupor Khan leaned against the soft collapse and closed his eyes in contemplation, he felt that it was time to wrap up. There was also news from Qingshan County, and they did see Duan Lang and the others that day. There is not only Duan Lang, but also the bright moon of Tangtai. Because the other party did not hide his identity, he even openly sent someone to submit a name card to the county government to explain his intentions. Qingshan County is subordinate to Mamaia City, so of course you have to report to Shangfeng if you have anything. But these things, Long Mu actually didn't mention a word in the fold.

With the death of the crown prince and the high priest, Vupor Khan was originally going to be punished for the felony of being unfavorable to the protection of the dragon herd. If the war hadn't continued, the Long family would have been demoted to the national capital long ago. Now that there is a crossbow arrow made by the Xiyue Palace to assassinate Shangguan Xuanwu, the two things are connected, and Wupol Khan faintly feels that the death of Wubatu and the high priest is probably really done by the Xiyue people.

Vupol Khan rubbed his forehead, he knew that the West Vietnamese side definitely did not want peace talks. But in addition to Western Vietnam, Vupor Khan also suspected another person, and that was his imperial uncle Wu Fa Xiu. Because once the peace talks are successful, Wu Faxiu will have to hand over the military power. I'm afraid that he, the imperial uncle, can't get rid of the involvement of sending someone to assassinate him. Because in Yaks City, the energy of martial arts cultivation is much greater than that of Xiyue secret agents. Don't look at the martial arts cultivation outside, but you can grasp the movements of Shangguan Xuanwu at any time through the inner line.

Vupor Khan felt a sense of danger and felt that he had to complete the peace talks as soon as possible and put an end to the war in Moro before the heavy winter snow fell. As for how to convince Shangguan Xuanwu, Wupol Khan has already thought of a countermeasure. The Moro kingdom did not have so much silver to pay for the war losses, but Vupor Khan thought of a foolproof plan. This strategy can not only make Xiyue collapse, but also make Duan Lang's side accept it safely. More importantly, it can eliminate the threat of martial law cultivation to his throne.
