Chapter 397: Less whitehead

Three knives and four shots to break the sky!

The eight masters of the imperial court are the first to break the sky.

White-clothed with a bow and invincible arrows, such a character, Chu Huan's first thought was naturally the world-famous Xuanyuan Shao, the brave Xuanyuan Shao who began to fight on the battlefield when he was a teenager and was the first to climb the head of Luo'an Capital.

Xuanyuan Shao became famous at a young age, and the world knows that his archery skills are superb, but there are very few people who have really seen his archery skills.

It stands to reason that such a figure should be extremely powerful and will not be noticed all the time.

But this is not the case.

After the founding of the country, Xuanyuan Shao was not sent out to fight again, but has been responsible for guarding the palace, this responsibility is very important, but sometimes it is always ignored, and although Xuanyuan Shao is brave to win the three armies, but his temperament is very low-key, in Beijing for many years, he rarely interacts with Beijing officials, maverick, rarely appears in the eyes of everyone, more and more quiet.

The white-haired man took a few steps to this side with his hands behind his back, and gradually came closer, but Chu Huan finally saw clearly that the white-haired man suspected of being Xuanyuan Shao was about thirty-five or sixteen years old, in the prime of life, with a sharp and angular appearance, and his hard-lined face made him look full of masculinity, with no beard on his lips, but a tuft of white beard under his lips, and the hair on his head was like snow.

Chu Huan already knew at this time that this white-haired person was so young but full of white hair, it was very likely that he was often called a little white-haired.

"Good martial arts!" The white-haired man swept away the several corpses that had been slashed by Chu Huan, and said with a calm expression: "If you come a few steps late, it will be difficult to see Your Excellency's sharp kung fu!" ”

Chu Huan had already arched his hand and said, "If it weren't for these assassins, I'm afraid it would be difficult to see General Xuanyuan's peerless archery tonight." ”

The white-haired man smiled, "So you know who I am." ”

"Even if you don't know the general, but the general's archery skills are no longer a second thought, the general's arrow, I'm afraid no one will know the identity of General Xuanyuan."

The white-haired man smiled: "I'm Xuanyuan Shao, do you know that if your martial arts are worse, it is very likely that you will become my substitute ghost." ”

Chu Huan said: "It turns out that these assassins are here to assassinate General Xuanyuan? ”

"Yes." The white-haired man bowed his head and said, "There are many people who want me to die." ”

Chu Huan sighed: "Some people want General Xuanyuan to die, but the general has enough capital to be safe." On the contrary, if the person who wants me to die really exerts his strength, I may die on the ground. ”

"Which yamen are you?" Xuanyuan Shao looked Chu Huan up and down.

Chu Huan arched his hand and said: "Xia Guan is the head of the household department, Chu Huan!" ”

"Chu Huan?" Xuanyuan Shao thought for a moment, and suddenly smiled: "Yang Wei Iron Blood Garden, Chu Huan who beat Dou Yi?" ”

Chu Huan said embarrassedly: "Xia Guan is actually very strange, could it be that the entire capital knows that Xia Guan beat Dou Yi?" ”

Xuanyuan Shao laughed and said: "Being able to be famous is not necessarily a bad thing. Returning to his head, he instructed his horseman: "Go and call the people from the Criminal Department to come over and clean up here." Tell them that they don't need to make a big deal out of it, it's just against the demons in the future, and they don't have to make a storm in the city. ”

The coachman said yes.

Chu Huanqi said: "The general knows the origin of these people? ”

"Where it came from, Ben Jiang didn't bother to know, but why he came, Ben Jiang knew a little bit about it." Xuanyuan Shao said lightly.

Chu Huan nodded slightly, but it was not easy to ask.

Xuanyuan Shao smiled: "You almost became a substitute ghost because of this, don't you want to know why these people came?" ”

Chu Huan said: "I think it's a secret matter, and the lower officials don't dare to ask." And even if the lower officials knew, I am afraid it would have no effect. ”

"You know if it works, I don't have to let you know." Xuanyuan Shao said calmly: "If it were me, I would almost die because of this, no matter what the result is, I still hope to know some reasons." ”

Chu Huan smiled and didn't speak.

Xuanyuan Shao suddenly stretched out his hand, opened his palm, and actually held something in his palm, Chu Huan was immediately surprised when he saw that thing, but he tried his best to maintain his composure.

In the palm of Xuanyuan Shao's hand, it was a stone.

This is a smooth stone, smaller than an egg, oval in shape, the color of the stone is pure white, even whiter than Xuanyuan Shao's white hair, extremely conspicuous.

Under the moonlight, you can vaguely see that the surface of this stone is covered with tiny black lines, crisscrossing and criss-crossing, like the meridians of the human body.

This was not the first time Chu Huan had seen this kind of stone.

This stone is almost exactly the same as the stone he collected on the outskirts of Liujia Village, no matter the shape or size, even the texture on the surface of the stone, it is so similar, if it weren't for the pure white color of this stone, Chu Huan even thought that the stone in Xuanyuan Shao's hand was the one he had collected.

The stone he got from Lin Dai'er was a fiery red color, it looked like it was stained with blood, and it seemed to have been calcined by fire, but the stone in Xuanyuan Shao's hand was completely different in color, white and bright as snow.

But Chu Huan was very sure in his heart that if nothing else, the two strange stones, one red and one white, must have some kind of connection.

"What is this?" Chu Huan frowned, "General Xuanyuan, is this a stone?" ”

"If it is a stone, it is a stone, because whether it looks or touches, it is just a stone, nothing more than a stone of better material." Xuanyuan Shao said slowly: "Say that it is not a stone, or it can not be a stone, because since I got this stone, there have been several groups of assassins who have come to assassinate the general, their purpose is for this stone, and it is difficult for the general to believe that if this is just an ordinary stone, there will be so many assassins who will come to seize it regardless of their lives." ”

Chu Huanqi said: "General Xuanyuan, do you mean to say that this wave of assassins is ambushing here tonight, intending to assassinate, and its purpose is just to get this stone?" ”

Xuanyuan Shao bowed slightly, handed over the white stone, and said, "You touch it, take a look, can you see what is strange about this stone?" ”

Chu Huan hesitated for a moment, and when he saw that Xuanyuan Shao had already sent the white stone to him, he arched his hand, took it carefully, and held it in the palm of his hand, the feeling of being extremely smooth was very familiar.

Unless the high-quality jade, the general stone, no matter how smooth it is, will have stone edges, even if the master with excellent craftsmanship polishes, it will also leave traces of polishing on the stone.

But this stone is obviously not jade, if you really want to compare, I am afraid that the best jade cannot be smoother than this stone, this stone seems to be naturally like this, there is no trace of carving and polishing, as since ancient times, it has existed in the world in this form.

Chu Huan remembered clearly that the red stone he got would have a very warm feeling when held in the palm of his hand, and if he held it for a long time, it would even get hot, but the feeling of this stone was diametrically opposite, when he first started this stone, there was a cool feeling, and this cold feeling became more and more obvious.

Chu Huan seemed to be observing cautiously, but his heart was puzzled and full of questions.

At the beginning, although Chu Huan couldn't see through the subtlety of the red stone, he understood that the stone was by no means simple, and he was afraid that there was a secret hidden, but today he saw the second strange stone in Xuanyuan Shao's hand very abruptly, and he couldn't figure out what the secret was for a while.

Chu Huan still remembered that when he accompanied Linlang to Jingci Nunnery to worship the Buddha, he found that there was a Heavenly King Hall in the nunnery, and the shape of the red stone seemed to be somewhat similar to the Dharma Eye on the Heavenly King's Law Crown.

He didn't know how to explain it.

"Lord Chu, can you see what's weird?" Xuanyuan Shao put his hands behind his back, stood lightly, staring at Chu Huan, with a look of anticipation on his face, as if he really hoped that Chu Huan could also see the strangeness of the stone.

Chu Huan took a closer look, and finally presented it back with both hands, and said with a look of surprise: "General Xuanyuan, this stone seems to be a treasure!" ”

"Oh?" Xuanyuan Shao's eyes lit up and asked, "How can you see it?" ”

Chu Huan said: "When Xia Guan held it in his hand, he felt that this stone was extremely cold, and Xia Guan thought to himself, if it is a hot summer, if there is this stone in his heart, will his body be much cooler?" If that's the case, this stone is really a treasure to beat the heat. ”

Xuanyuan Shao sighed, a little disappointed, stared at Chu Huan and asked, "Is Lord Chu the only one who has found this?" ”

Chu Huan showed a look of shame, shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Xiaguan is blunt, and I also think that this kind of stone is very rare, but I really can't see what role it can have besides cooling off?" Well, maybe it's for ornamentation, after all, rare things are expensive, and rare things always have their value. ”

Xuanyuan Shao put away the white strange stone, shook his head and said: "Actually, when I first got this stone, I just thought it was nothing more than an ordinary thing, but some people of unknown origin assassinated the general several times, and I learned from an assassin that they wanted to get this strange stone, and this general felt that this stone might be very unusual." They have gone forward one after another, and they have lost more than a dozen lives, is it just for such a strange rock that can only cool off? ”

Chu Huan frowned and said, "This really doesn't make sense. He asked again: "General Xuanyuan, the subordinate has the courage to ask, why didn't the general take those people and torture them to extract confessions, at least he should know their origins." ”

Xuanyuan Shao shook his head, looking a little tired: "These people are just acting on orders, they just take the money and do things for others, and they don't even know who hired them." Several interrogations, but no leads. He put his hands behind his back, looked up at the bright moon in the sky, and said with a confused expression: "That person is so cautious, he is not an ordinary person, Ben Jiang wants to know who is going to take this strange stone from Ben Jiang, and what is the purpose of their seizure of this strange stone." ”
