Chapter 1136: Suspicion
The war is imminent, the power center of the imperial capital will inevitably strengthen its defenses, this time, did not let Yuan Fang wait for a long time, the soldiers and messengers of the brigade came from all directions, on the way encountered the dead soldiers who were evacuating, a big battle, the dead soldiers left a lot of corpses and fled.
Yuan Fang's location was not far from the city wall, so the city defense army was the first to arrive and clear the surrounding area as soon as possible.
Yuan Fang walked out of the store and said with a calm face: "What about people? ”
The officer stood up and saluted: "Back to Lord Yuan, on the way we came, we met more than a dozen assassins, killed seven people, and the rest fled." ”
Yuan Fang took a deep breath: "Bing Yan, Menghan, you take half of the men to send the wounded back." ”
Huo Bingyan was shocked and said, "Brother-in-law, aren't you going back together?" ”
Yuan Fang shook his head: "I have to go to the Chamber of Commerce to have a look, these people are all masters, I am worried that they will go to the Chamber of Commerce to attack Damei, this general, please send someone to escort them." ”
The general of the city defense army responded to the order, sent two hundred people to follow Huo Bingyan and them back to the military hospital, and rushed to the Plum Blossom Chamber of Commerce with the rest of the people to protect Yuan Fang.
The Plum Blossom Chamber of Commerce is as lively as ever, the incident that was attacked just now has not yet reached here, Yuan Fang took someone upstairs directly to find Da Mei, Da Mei was discussing things with a few stewards, and saw Yuan Fang rushing in embarrassed and was stunned: "Brother, why are you here?" ”
Yuan Fang went directly over and pulled Da Mei out and said, "Go back first." ”
Da Mei was stunned: "What happened?" Yuzuki, what's wrong with your hand? ”
Yuyue's expression was solemn: "We were attacked just now, the other party is very strong, Sister Da Mei, you go back to the military hospital with us first, it's not safe here." ”
Da Mei stopped and said, "Brother, you wait for me, I'll get something." As he spoke, he broke free of Yuan Fang's hand, ran to the desk, put some of the materials on the table into a leather bag and said to a few stewards: "Just do what I just said, and also, you yourself should be careful and bring more guards when you go out." ”
Yuan Fang added: "Damei won't come over during this time, you can go to the military hospital to find her if you have something." ”
The stewards hurried away, and Da Mei walked to the next room, took out a wallet from the dark compartment and put it in her purse, and said, "Okay, let's go." ”
Yuan Fang and the others had just come downstairs, Ye Qingru and Xia Yi happened to be in a hurry with Xin Huilan and Jiang Chengjia, and Yuan Fang waved his hand: "Go, go back." ”
There was no way to come, that road belonged to the version of the commercial street, the road was lined with shops, it was really difficult to defend, so Yuan Fang picked a relatively remote route, most of which were one-story houses, at least there was no need to worry about archers sneaking overhead.
There was no more danger on the way back, and when I returned to the military hospital, the backyard of the military hospital was already under martial law, and the city defense army, the forbidden army, and the errand soldiers surrounded the place.
Seeing Huo Bingyan and Lin Menghan, Yuan Fang asked eagerly, "Did Jingqiu send someone over there?" ”
Huo Bingyan nodded and said, "Erniu took someone to go." ”
Yuan Fang nodded: "How are the casualties?" ”
Lin Menghan's tone was a little choked: "Fifteen people were killed in battle, twenty-three people were injured, eight of them were seriously injured, and Doctor Ye and they are rescuing." ”
Yuan Fang took a deep breath and suppressed the monstrous anger in his heart: "Who is the other party?" Check it out? ”
Huo Bingyan shook his head: "There is no living mouth, and I can't determine my identity for the time being, but they all use armor-piercing heavy arrows, and the material of the arrows is very special." As he spoke, he handed a feather arrow to Yuan Fang and said, "This is what I pulled from my shield." ”
Yuan Fang took the feather arrow and looked at it carefully, the tip of the arrow was slender, triangular pyramidal, with deep blood grooves, and the body of the arrow was also made of metal, but it was not as heavy as expected.
Da Mei stepped forward: "Show me." Yuan Fang handed the feather arrow to Da Mei, who looked at it for a while and frowned and said, "I have seen this kind of arrow." ”
Yuan Fang was surprised and asked, "Have you seen it?" Where is it? ”
Da Mei frowned: "If I'm not mistaken, this should be the arrow of the Wen'an Empire." ”
Yuan Fang asked curiously, "How do you know?" ”
Da Mei replied: "During this time, the Chamber of Commerce has been doing business in the Wen'an Empire, and we have also purchased some of this alloy, and the formula of this alloy is in their hands, and we have also helped the empire purchase a lot of such feather arrows, which are exactly the same as this one, and we are not surprised at all." ”
Yuan Fang pondered for a moment and asked, "Where are those purchased feather arrows now?" ”
Da Mei shook her head: "I don't know, it was handed over to the military logistics at that time." ”
Sang Rou's eyes widened: "Could it be Zhou Lei?" ”
Yuan Fang shook his head: "Impossible, Xiaoyun, what about Xiaoyun?" ”
Huo Bingyan's face was not very good-looking: "Xiaoyun is injured and is being rescued." ”
Yuan Fang was shocked: "What? Xiaoyun is injured? Is it serious? ”
Huo Bingyan shook his head and said, "There should be no danger to life." ”
Lin Menghan added: "Xiaoyun was hit by an arrow in the back, but fortunately he was blocked by a shield, and the injury was not deep, but the right side of his face was burned, I'm afraid, I'm afraid I'm going to be disfigured." ”
Yuan Fang clenched his fists and beckoned to the generals of the city defense army who were waiting on the side: "You go and check, where is the batch of feather arrows that the Plum Blossom Chamber of Commerce purchased from the Wen'an Empire a few days ago?" Send someone to make sure, and point it out for me one by one. ”
The general of the city defense army was embarrassed and said: "Lord Yuan, I am only a captain of the city defense army, how can I have the right to do logistics." ”
Yuan Fang thought about it, waved his hand and said, "Forget it, take your people back, guard your post, this time will not be peaceful." ”
The captain of the city defense military saluted and left with his men. Sang Rou said, "Brother-in-law, I'll go." ”
Yuan Fang hesitated for a moment and nodded and said, "It's okay, you go with Yuyue, be careful on the road, forget it, you can drive the airship directly, so it's safer." Sang Rou nodded, took Yuan Fang's waist card and Yuyue and left with a few female soldiers.
Although Sang Rou is a general and a royal guard, she has no right to inquire about logistics reserves, and Yuan Fang is different, Yang Xing has given him a lot of rights, so to speak, except for Yang Xing, Yuan Fang has no people and things that cannot be checked, and Sang Rou will be unimpeded with his waist card.
Yuan Fang turned back to Da Mei, Jiang Chengjia, and Xin Huilan and said, "Da Mei, you take the two sisters-in-law to my place to rest, and I will do something." ”
Da Mei nodded and said, "Brother, be careful, bring more people when you go out." ”
Yuan Fang nodded, and saw Da Mei enter the villa step by step, Yuan Fang turned around and walked to the front yard: "Let's go, see how Xiaoyun and them are." ”
On the way, Lin Menghan was puzzled and asked, "Brother-in-law, why don't you doubt the Wen'an Empire?" Instead, you want to find out the whereabouts of those feathered arrows? ”
Yuan Fang explained: "It is impossible for the Wen'an Empire to do such a thing at this time, I am dead, and it will not do them any good." ”
Xia Yi was surprised and said, "Brother-in-law, do you suspect that our own people did it?" ”
