Chapter 076: Bone Arrows That Melt in Blood
"General Yin! Not good! There are assassins around to shoot dark arrows! ”
When Ah Xichen saw clearly the strange arrow that was still trembling under Ah Xiyan's feet, his face changed and he pulled it out easily, and raised the strange arrow in his hand to a heroic middle-aged man outside the carriage, shouting loudly.
After shouting, he turned his head vigilantly and looked around, but he didn't find anything wrong, except for a boulevard where they were at the moment, there were dense forests on both sides, and no passers-by passed, not even birds could see a single one.
"What? Assassins? Listen to all orders! Stop marching and spread out the perimeter of vigilance! Never let anything get close to the carriage! Not even a bird! I'll wait for General Ben to check it out. ”
General Yin was also a little surprised, but he didn't dare to order carelessly.
After saying that, after a brief glance at the curtain of the carriage, he flew up from his horse and quickly disappeared into the dense forest.
"Yes! General Yin! ”
The other soldiers also shouted in unison, and then quickly rode their horses and dispersed, forming a protective formation in an instant, completely protecting A Xiyan's carriage in the middle.
And they pulled out the long swords on their waists, ready to shoot at any time.
This General Yin is also a veteran who has followed the general for many years, he has always been astute, and his experience in marching and fighting for so many years also believes that in addition to the general, there is no one to compare, and it can be said that no one will escape his eyes if there is any wind and grass.
This is also the reason why the general specially sent him to escort A Xiyan.
After all, Ah Xiyan is her biological daughter who has been lost for seventeen years, and for the general, there is no room for mistakes.
Naturally, he had to send the top soldiers to escort him, so that he could recuperate at ease in the General's Mansion.
In view of the fact that General Yin is the confidant of the general, the general also unreservedly told him the secret that A Xiyan is his daughter, and the special status of A Xiyan as the chief imperial physician by the emperor also informed him.
In addition, General Yin was fully aware of the specific content and purpose of this border pass, as well as the dangers he might face.
Therefore, General Yin also understands that escorting A Xiyan to the border pass this time is of great significance, and the responsibility is even greater, and it is a major matter related to the safety of thousands of Li people.
In his heart, he also secretly swore that he must be worthy of the trust of the general, and not live up to the emperor's trust, even if he died, he would escort A Xiyan to the border safely.
Therefore, since his departure, General Yin has no distracting thoughts, has watched the six roads, listened to all directions, and has not let go of the slightest doubtful detail.
But along the way, General Yin always felt that everything was normal, and he didn't notice anything threatening to Ah Xiyan at all.
Even when Ah Xiyan in the carriage let out an exclamation before, General Yin didn't think it was the assassin's doing, and thought that the carriage was a little bumpy, causing Ah Xiyan to stumble somewhere.
I didn't pay much attention to it, thinking that A Xiyan was a weak woman after all, and it was normal for her to travel thousands of miles away in a carriage for the first time, and it was inevitable that she would not adapt to it on the road.
It wasn't until Ashchen's face changed and he shouted to alert him to the presence of assassins around him, and raised the strange arrow in his hand, that he realized that he was probably careless.
And instantly thought that the other party could shoot arrows into Ah Xiyan's carriage without noticing, without alarming the twenty soldiers around the carriage, he was definitely a top killer with extraordinary skills.
Fortunately, General Yin considered that there were twenty soldiers around the carriage to escort him, and the killer would not easily assassinate him at close range, and would definitely give priority to long-distance assassination.
In order to prevent someone from shooting the people in the carriage from a distance, General Yin deliberately chose the most common standard carriage, and modified the carriage in advance, deliberately moved the seats inside back by a foot, and thickened the door curtains and curtains.
This small alteration would not have been noticeable if it had not been for the opening of the carriage door curtains and curtains to see inside.
In this way, the killer lurking in the distance will subjectively calculate the location of the people in the carriage based on his inherent experience, and shoot a deadly arrow.
If the carriage hadn't moved that foot, and the door curtain hadn't thickened to increase the resistance of the strange arrow when it was fired, the strange arrow would have hit Ah Xiyan's heart.
But at this moment, it turned into a shot at Ah Xiyan's feet, and finally prevented an assassination attempt without danger and saved Ah Xiyan's life.
Although General Yin knew that Ah Xiyan was safe and sound without looking, it was unbearable for him to be able to assassinate the person he swore to protect under his nose before he noticed it.
I even feel ashamed!
This also stimulated his fighting spirit, so after instructing the other soldiers to guard the carriage, he also flew into the dense forest to track down the killer who shot the strange arrow.
He knew that the other party would not be able to run far in such a short time, and he also planned to arrest him back and interrogate him to see who sent him to assassinate Ah Xiyan.
What is the purpose, and how many killers the other party has sent to get rid of Miss A, he has to plan in advance.
Despite the fact that there was a dense forest on both sides at the time, he was still experienced and quickly judged that the killer was from the deep forest on the left from the scratches on the curtain of the carriage.
Because of his accurate judgment and quick skills, as soon as he flew into the dense forest, he saw a figure flash by, and hurriedly chased after him.
……
"Sister, are you alright?"
When Ah Xichen saw General Yin disappear deep into the dense forest, he turned around again to look at the frightened Ah Xiyan in the carriage and asked with concern.
When he saw A Xiyan wearing a new bracelet on her wrist, he was not surprised, after all, the silver bag was handed over to A Xiyan by his mother before.
The first time he held the bag in his hand, he immediately guessed that it was a bracelet or something.
It's just that he didn't think much about it, thinking that his mother asked him to give the bracelet to Ah Xiyan, which was nothing more than a picture of peace and blessing Ah Xiyan to come back safely.
"Xichen, sister is fine, by the way, why is this arrow so strange? It's not like the kind of arrow I've seen before, but like a snake. So it scared my sister a lot. ”
Ah Xiyan patted her chest, looked at the strange arrow in Ah Xichen's hand and said with trepidation.
"This ...... It's also the first time I've seen this strange arrow, so I guess it's a symbol of the killer's status. It seems that it should have been done by a charlatan hired by someone. But then again, this arrow was made with a lot of thought. It's a bit like it's carved out of whole animal bones and wrapped in real snake skin, which is why it looks so much like a real snake. ”
Ah Xichen frowned, and replied with some uncertainty.
"Huh? Carve an arrow out of a whole bone? That's too much work, right? Peeling off the skin of a real snake and wrapping it on it is too cruel, isn't it? ”
Ah Xiyan sighed with a little numbness.
"Valley Master, can you let me take a look at this strange arrow?"
As soon as Ah Xichen's words fell, the scorpion dead soldier coachman glanced at the strange arrow, looked at Ah Xiyan thoughtfully and asked.
"Of course, Xichen, give the strange arrow to ......"
Ah Xiyan replied briskly, but she didn't know what to call the coachman for a while, and stopped again, looking at the coachman with a confused look and not continuing.
"Oh, Gu Master, the name of his subordinate is Cang Xuantian, code name Scorpion Armor. In the future, you can call the subordinate code name. ”
The scorpion dead man hurriedly introduced himself.
"What? You are...... Oh forget it, let's get back to it. Xi Chen, show the strange arrow to the scorpion armor. ”
Ah Xiyan was also shocked when she heard the scorpion dead soldier chauffeur call himself Cangxuantian, and shouted in surprise.
But she soon realized that this was not the time to discuss this topic, and did not continue to ask.
The reason why Ah Xiyan is so out of shape is because she instantly thought of Chu Yuyao's husband, that is, her brother-in-law's name is Cang Xuanming.
This means that the scorpion dead man in front of her should be her brother-in-law's own brother.
Otherwise, the name won't be missing just the last word.
And Cang Xuantian in front of him looks older, so Ah Xiyan feels that her brother-in-law must be a younger brother.
Since her brother-in-law's own brother is here, I believe that with his help, Ah Xiyan feels that it will not be difficult to find her brother-in-law.
It's just that Ah Xichen is next to him at this moment, and it is still not convenient to talk about these things, and Ah Xiyan plans to find another opportunity to talk about it before it is too late.
Regarding Cang Xuantian's suggestion that she call him the code name Scorpion Armor in the future, Ah Xiyan quickly understood the meaning, that is, the Scorpion Death Warrior A Warrior.
Obviously, this scorpion armor should be the first among the poisonous scorpion dead soldiers.
"Okay, sister. Well, here you go. ”
Ashchen generously handed the strange arrow to the scorpion armor.
After the scorpion armor took the strange arrow and looked at it several times, his face became more and more solemn.
"Scorpion, do you see what's going on?"
When Ah Xiyan saw that the scorpion armor looked at the strange arrow in his hand and his face became more and more ugly, she also asked with a bad premonition.
The Scorpion Armor did not rush to reply, but bit the tip of his finger and dripped a drop of blood in the arrow of the strange arrow.
When they saw the scorpion armor actually bite their fingertips, Ah Xiyan and A Xichen also glanced at each other in puzzlement, obviously not understanding what the scorpion armor meant.
"Poof...... Snort......"
As the blood of the scorpion armor dripped on the arrows of the strange arrows, it suddenly made a sound like bones being corroded.
It's as if the blood of the scorpion armor has an extremely high temperature, and it actually corrodes the hard bone monster arrow a little bit!
In the end, only a complete snakeskin was left in the hands of the scorpion armor, and the original strange-shaped bone arrow was completely gone.
"Oh my God! Scorpion armor, the blood on your body is too domineering, right? Can you melt the whole arrow? ”
Ah Xichen asked in shock as he watched the strange arrow turn into a pile of viscous liquid dripping on the ground.
"It's not my blood domineering, it's just that this special bone arrow melts when it encounters blood. Whoever the blood is the same! If this arrow hits the valley lord just now, it will melt quickly. Leaving only this intact snake skin will make us mistakenly think that the poisonous snake bit the valley lord to death! This way, we can't track down the identity of the killer. It seems that this killer is no ordinary killer. Not good! I know who he is! Fast! I have to tell General Yin to come back quickly, don't chase that killer anymore! He's definitely no match for the other side! Once you catch up, you will definitely die. ”
Scorpion Armor shook his head and explained with a solemn expression.
As he spoke, the scorpion armor suddenly seemed to remember something, and his face instantly became ugly and urged.
After listening to Scorpion Jia's words, Ah Xiyan's heart instantly fluttered......
