217 Wounding by arrows

"They're going to run!" Lai Yanbei looked at the carriage in front of him that suddenly became faster, and couldn't help but say urgently.

The coachman, Lao Wang, shook his head helplessly, of course he knew that the carriage in front of him had spotted their following, but it was the time to return late, and the flow of people coming and going on the street was destined not to allow them to drive unscrupulously.

In fact, neither the Eastern Capital nor Chang'an was allowed to ride wild on horseback in normal times, except for messengers and certain personnel on special missions; But the bad guys don't take these little prohibitions to heart, and as long as they don't get caught red-handed, they have the ability to get away with it.

"Don't worry, sister-in-law is measured." Su You smiled indifferently and looked ahead very firmly.

Seeing that the coachman reacted so violently, the red-whisked girl also knew that it was hopeless to go deep into the tiger's den, so she had to wave her fist at the big mouth beside her.

The big mouth instinctively snorted, and he fainted before he could even resist, and the coachman, who was surprised by the movement in the carriage, turned back and saw the red-whisk girl smiling charmingly at him, and he couldn't help but pull the reins.

When the horse pulling the cart neighed, and the man stood up, the carriage could not help but retract and hit the horse; The driver saw the opportunity, and after rolling out of the car with the help of his strength, he jumped directly into the river on the side of the road.

The Red Whisk Girl looked at the snowflakes or two that were still falling from time to time, and couldn't help but hesitate, and wanted to beat the water dog at this time, but she couldn't even find a stone.

For a while, Su You and Lai Yanbei also arrived, and they looked at the coachman who was still fluttering in the river, and they just sighed.

"Is this kid really out of the way? Shall we go around to the other side to block him? Lai Yanbei stomped her feet, she believed that as long as they ran faster, it was not impossible to catch up with him.

"No, isn't there another one?" When Su You was calculating the feasibility of the plan to come to Yanbei with a bitter face, the red lady dragged the big mouth who was knocked out by him just now out of the car and said fiercely.

"I'm just afraid we're going to startle the snake." Su You shook his head, but saw that there were more than a dozen horsemen coming slowly in front of him, and the two young men walking in the front were Li Shimin and the eldest grandson Wuji.

The two of them were followed by three or five more housekeepers, all of whom were leading eagle dogs, and some birds and beasts that had not yet died were hung on their horses, and they looked like they had just returned from hunting.

Li Shimin looked like he was talking about no one else, as if he was afraid that others would not know that he was a gentleman, and the eldest grandson Wuji was much shy, but from the look on his face, it could be seen that he had gained a lot today.

Su You's eyes lit up as he watched them approach.

"The people of the world, no taboo. Today is a full day. Su You waved his hand and greeted him very familiarly.

"Mr. Su, don't come to harm?" When the two of them saw Su You waving to them, they were a little puzzled, they both had a natural sense of superiority over Su You because of their identities, but out of politeness, they still turned over and dismounted, bowed down and asked Su You how he was good.

"It's okay, but I can't get away with it like you, can I borrow your bow and arrows?" Su You nodded, as if he had just seen the bow and arrow on Li Shimin's back, and his eyes became a little eager.

Just like those teenagers in later generations who carried badminton rackets or guitar drawing boards all day long, Li Shimin also carried a longbow on his back at this time, which was obviously to tell the audience friends who passed by that he was qualified to be a young ranger.

Listening to Su You's request, Li Shimin smiled at Su You with a very knowledgeable look, proudly handed the bow to Su You, and sighed lightly, "This three-stone bow was obtained when I was eight years old. ”

Su You smiled, of course he understood Li Shimin's pride, what is now popular in the army is a bow of this strength, and Li Shimin was already able to pull it when he was eight years old, if he didn't insist on lifting the stone lock every day after coming to this era, maybe he could only pull such a bow, right?

With a "boom", Su You pulled the bow into a full moon, then loosened the string, and praised again, "It's really a good bow, but the string is a little tight." ”

Li Shimin couldn't imagine that Su You and a scholar could pull this strong bow, in fact, although he bragged that this bow was obtained by him when he was eight years old, he could only pull it into a semicircle now, but after he listened to the second half of Su You's words, the boredom in his heart flashed.

"Diligence can make up for clumsiness, just practice more." Li Shimin looked tall and tall, so that he could be a teacher.

"Give me an arrow?" Su You looked empathetic and humbly pleaded.

Li Shimin felt a little inexplicable at Su You's request, but he still pulled out an arrow from the quiver, and thought in his heart, "Is he really here?" What are you going to shoot?" I glanced at the sky boredly, and there was no trace of wings in the sky.

A "boom" sounded again, and then a "ahh

"You" Li Shimin pointed at Su You with some incredulity, Su You is now borrowing a knife to kill people, and he can't escape it.

"There's no need to make a fuss, the person who was hit by the arrow is a gangster who escaped, besides, a bow and arrow of this strength, such a distance, can't shoot him." Su You smiled and handed the arrow back to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin took the arrow blankly, thinking that Su You had already nailed people to the ground with his bow and arrows while talking and laughing, and couldn't help but be a little afraid.

"Go quickly, the officials should be here soon." Su You patted Li Shimin on the shoulder, and then let them pass.

Lai Yanbei and the Red Whisk Girl didn't seem to expect Su You to have such archery skills, but this was not the time to praise each other, they all thought in unison, "Now is the time to arrest people in the past." ”

Looking at the big mouth that was knocked out by the red whisk girl just now, the thing has not woken up until now, Lai Yanbei probed his snort with some concern, but the red whisk girl smiled indifferently, she naturally knew the severity.

"Sister-in-law, you and Lao Wang will come to my house first, and I will go over with Yanbei to arrest people." After Su You finished giving the order, he took Lai Yanbei's hand, while Lao Wang helped the Red Whisk Girl pull the big mouth to the carriage, and they quickly left the scene.

When Su You and Lai Yanbei were about to go back to find a bridge to cross the river, they saw several horsemen rushing in front of them, but the leader made Su You stunned at that time.

"Liu Wuzhou? When did he return to the Eastern Capital? Has the King of Qi also returned? The doubts disappeared in a flash, but Su You still greeted him hard.

"Sir! Didn't think you'd be here. We received a report that someone here was running in violation of the law. Liu Wuzhou obviously didn't expect to meet Su You here, he turned over and dismounted with some excitement, and saw the carriage that was crooked to the side after hitting the horse, and his eyes couldn't help but stare at Su You's face.

"Yes, but he's abandoned the car and fled now, and if you chase him fast, you should be able to catch him." Su smiled playfully, and he casually pointed to the opposite riverbank.

At this time, night fell, and the coachman who had been hit by Su You's arrow just now was still soaked in the water at this time, and he no longer had the strength to climb to the shore.

"Then Wu Zhou took his leave first." Liu Wuzhou hugged his fists, looking like he was doing business, and he had a lot of respect for Su You.

"Wu Zhou, when did you arrive in the Eastern Capital, is there any news of Jingde?" Su You looked at him in a hurry, but still asked the question that he wanted to know the answer to the most.

"After you leave the city of Dali, I have nothing to do. His Highness returned to the Eastern Capital yesterday, and I arrived with him. Liu Wuzhou didn't turn around, but said resentfully, originally he didn't want to talk to Su You about these things, but it was uncomfortable to hold it in his heart for a long time.

"Didn't the newspaper say that His Majesty would arrive in a few days?" Su You frowned and said, if Yang Guang's plan did not change, it would obviously be unreasonable for Yang Er to return to the Eastern Capital at this time, which emperor would dare to let his son return to the capital in advance and wait for him to enter the urn?

"Today's newspaper has the news of His Highness's return." Liu Wuzhou shook his head, this answer seemed to be a bit unanswered at first glance, but after thinking about it carefully, it was clear that what he wanted to say was naturally that King Qi had obtained Yang Guang's permission to return to the east.

"The monks and Taoist operas are also back?" Su You asked a little unwillingly.

"They're here today, and they're probably already in the city by now." Liu Wuzhou nodded, and then left quickly.

"It's getting complicated." Su You sighed, he took Yanbei's hand, and the two walked in the direction of home.

"After all, it's still a surprise." Lai Yanbei also shook her head, she just wanted to hurry back to Su You's house now, maybe the answer was in the mouth of the person brought back by the Red Whisk Girl.

"It doesn't matter anymore, since they have returned, the power of the white-clothed Maitreya is not something we can shake." Su You shook his head, he didn't know how much the power of the white-clothed Maitreya had grown now, and it was this mystery that made him feel even more terrifying.

The two walked for a while, and finally found a small boat carrying passengers by the river, which was considered to be a temporary liberation of their feet.

"Borrowing the power of King Qi? After all, he has an enmity with Maitreya in white. Lai Yanbei asked tentatively, but she also knew that this question did not need to be answered by Su You, after all, there was no eternal enemy in politics.

"What I'm most afraid of is that King Qi colludes with the white-clothed Maitreya." Su You sighed, this can be regarded as answering the doubts of Lai Yanbei, if he stupidly asks a pair of strategic partners to attack each other, who will die in the end?

"Is this possible?" Lai Yanbei knew that this was certain, but she would rather make a mistake in her own judgment.

"At least it can't be ruled out." Su You nodded, and said worriedly, "When I was in Yulin, His Royal Highness had already gained enough prestige, although he was deprived of military power, it can't be said that it was not a blessing in disguise, but after all, he returned to the Eastern Capital ahead of schedule." ”

"You're saying he's going to take a risk?" Coming to Yanbei to lose his voice, this situation is terrifying to think about.

"It's up to Wei Chigong, he has obviously met His Highness." Su You looked like a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water.

If Wei Chigong was Maitreya in white, perhaps he would work hard to promote the cooperation between King Qi and Maitreya in white; If Wei Chigong was willing to be the king of Qi, perhaps he would report his close relationship with the white-clothed Maitreya to the king of Qi as soon as possible. Anyway, now the relationship between Su You and King Qi is irreconcilable, and Wei Chigong will be the catalyst to accelerate the formation of this relationship.

Of course, there is another possibility that Wei Chigong helped Su You hide it, and in the end, he and the King of Qi were fine, but even Su You couldn't believe this possibility, and this is not a fairy tale.

"Maybe Liu Wuzhou cast smoke on you."

"Yes. It's hard, I don't even know who is the enemy and who is the friend now. Su You shook his head helplessly.

After the two got off the boat, they thought that the red lady might have pried open the mouth of the trafficker, and they all involuntarily quickened their pace, but after entering the door, they heard Xiao Jiu quietly report, "The people of the Su family are here." ”

"People from the Su family?" Su You shook his head a little puzzled, and thought again, "Isn't my surname Su?" ”
