Chapter 384: Crossbow Arrows

Now that he has not crossed the Yangtze River, it is the dry weather in autumn, Che Si'er randomly gathered the dead branches and fallen leaves around him, and then built a fire and let everyone sit around.

Yu Jingning sat in front of the fire, inexplicably not sleepy, and only let the four and five brothers go to rest first. The two of them were crying and talking to Yu Jingning before, and they were also in good spirits at this time, so they also had to accompany Yu Jingning to sit in front of the fire.

The branches and leaves burned, all crackling, and the fire shrouded Yu Jingning's face.

Yu Jingning is young, but he is not a half-grown child for a long time, and his temperament is very different from when he first entered the capital. It's not a big difference, but it's completely different.

Yu Jingning's appearance looks like Yu Pu, especially from the angle of Che Wu, the high nose bridge and Yu Pu are simply carved out of the same mold, which makes him feel like he has seen Yu Pu when he was young again.

But they are still different, Yu Pu usually laughs and scolds, is an extremely easy-going person, and likes to joke with them soldiers the most on weekdays. But once he really wants to do something, he will have a hippie smile on his face, and he is extremely serious.

Yu Jingning only got half of his father's true biography.

didn't have his father's temperament of "talking and laughing", he was extremely serious at all times. It seemed that he was holding it all the time, restrained and restrained, and now he was sitting by the fire, and from his face, he could not see what was in his heart.

The three of them sat silently like this, and after a long time, Yu Jingning opened his mouth first: "My father is ...... How did he die in the first place? The military doctors in the army have always been used for servants, can they take a closer look? ”

"I have read the words of the prince of the world carefully." Che Wuzheng looked at Yu Jingning's side face and looked at it seriously, and was suddenly named, and blurted out the previous name.

At this time, Che Si'er's mood stabilized, and he began to correct his brother's mistakes: "Now that our brother is already the prince, why is he still called the prince." ”

"Ah, I was negligent, and the prince forgives me." Che Wu hurriedly apologized to Yu Jingning, and only after seeing Yu Jingning waving at him did he dare to speak, "The military doctor has looked at it carefully, and the most serious injury on the old prince's body is a penetrating wound, and the wound is on a knife. The size of the wound was the same as that of the straight knives of the guards, and it was the same knife used in the rebel army. ”

He glanced at Yu Jingning twice and found that he was thinking, so he continued to say: "The wound of the old prince was poked out by the person called 'Lao Jiang' in the chaotic army, and it was Deputy General Gu who snatched the old prince down. However, the crossing runs back and forth, and it is really powerless to return to the sky, and by the time the deputy general Gu called the general doctor, the prince was already ......"

Yu Jingning raised his hand to signal him not to go on, nodded and said, "In addition to this knife wound, there are no side injuries." Also, the deputy general Gu you are talking about, is it Brother Gu Cheng? ”

"Lord Shizi, ah no, what the prince said is that it is Gu Cheng's kid. As for the other injuries...... "Che Wu frowned and thought for a while, and said, "It stands to reason that there must be injuries on the side, after all, in wartime, there is no reason not to be injured." The military doctor searched over and over again for a long time, but there was only one injury that he couldn't figure out. ”

"That's it." Yu Jingning took a branch and flicked it in the fire, and the fire crackled and exploded.

Che Wu looked at the fire on the ground and felt that there was no need to add dead branches and fallen leaves to it, so he reassuredly said: "This wound looks like it was grazed by a crossbow arrow, and it is a slight injury, and the military doctors didn't care about it at first, but later, Vice General Gu made a fuss, and the military doctors had to examine it again." Everyone thought that he was crazy because of the death of the old prince, and they all advised him not to cause another incident. Later, there was still a military doctor, who, despite all kinds of resistance, examined the old prince's body again. ”

Speaking of this, Che Wu's voice suddenly became quieter: "We are always afraid that there is the eyeliner of the imperial court in it, because of this, except for the military doctor, Deputy General Gu, and a few of our Che family's sons, no one else knows." ”

A few boys of the Che family turned out to be the slaves and maids of the Yu family, and the old people in the family followed the master to the battlefield a few times, so they threw the small ones in, and the Che family had six or seven cousins, all of whom were put together in a row of generations, regardless of size, and were all generals of the Yu family.

"The prince has a bruise on his head, and the poison has been detected." Che Wu scratched his head, "Their military doctors all memorize medical books, I don't understand it very well, anyway, it's not a powerful poison, ordinary people can match it." So, not to mention a bruise, even if the entire crossbow arrow is shot in, no one will die for a while. ”

"It stands to reason that this method of quenching poison on crossbow arrows is actually not very useful in war. First, there is not so much poison, and secondly, it is easy to injure one's own people by mistake, this method seems to be used by people on the rivers and lakes. Yu Jingning held a branch in one hand to stir the fire, and with the other hand made a movement that Yu Zhiwei likes to think about on weekdays - he nodded his chin, although there was not such a beauty mole on his chin.

"What the prince said is right, we also think it's strange." Che Wu naturally took over the branch in Yu Jingning's hand, and set the fire for him, and the flame "clustered" on the ground, and then soared higher, "I used to fight with the rebels, and I didn't see anyone quenching the poison, and besides, this poison is not very powerful, and even the person who shoots this crossbow arrow is not very good." ”

When Che Si'er heard this, he couldn't help frowning and asked, "Then why does this person quench poison his arrows, isn't this an extra move?" ”

"Fourth brother, don't say that yet." Che Wu waved his hand at his brother, "We thought about it for a long time, but we didn't think of where the old prince was hit by a crossbow arrow, and finally remembered that the old prince was hit by the old Jiang because of hiding this arrow!" And the strange direction of this arrow is from behind the prince, but behind it, it's all our own people! ”

Yu Jingning's face suddenly sank, if there was a traitor in the army, it would be a big deal. If they can't find out, not only do they not know when someone will hack them again, but if they let everyone know, they are also easy to be suspicious of each other, which makes people panic and greatly disturbs the morale of the army.

"Does anyone else know about this?" Yu Jingning asked.

"No, it's because of this that we don't dare to tell others." When Che Wu said this, he also suddenly straightened up, "The first thing we suspect is Governor Lin Xieyuan, because the old prince said that Niangniang had sent a letter to remind him. But this scholar, at a glance, is useless, we found him after the war, he was also in the prisoner camp, the group of prisoners said that our northwest army entered the city, and saw him come to save people, so ...... Alas, I don't know how to say it. ”
