With a "plop", Xu Fu knelt on the ground, his face was sad, and he replied tremblingly: "Go back...... Back to the mother...... At that time, a sharp arrow was shot at us, and the wooden protector went to the woods to catch the assassin, but after she left, a sharp arrow was also shot from the forest on the other side, and the slave did not know martial arts, and his reaction was slow, so he ...... So I couldn't save the eldest prince, Concubine Zhen...... Spare your life, the minion really didn't mean not to save the eldest prince, if the wooden protector could have discovered the assassin earlier, the eldest prince would not have been injured! ”

Xu Fu knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing to Hu Yanzhen and begging for mercy, for fear of being blamed by Concubine Zhen and his own life could not be saved, so he did not forget to splash all the dirty water on Shangguan Yutang when he begged for mercy.

The more Hu Yanzhen listened, the more angry she became, and she asked Shangguan Yutang silently: "Wood Protector, what else do you have to explain at this time?" Shao Yan is injured, you can't escape the blame, if he has three longs and two shorts, you Shangguan Mansion will suffer! ”

Shangguan Yutang's heart sank, it didn't matter if she was punished, but she couldn't affect Shangguan Mansion, although she didn't have a deep relationship with Shangguan Mansion, but after all, this matter had nothing to do with Shangguan Mansion.

The corners of Leng Fengjue's mouth hooked slightly, his eyes were full of banter, and he looked at Hu Yanzhen and Shangguan Yutang as if he was watching a good show.

Shangguan Wenchuan, who was standing in the crowd, was frightened by Hu Yanzhen's words, and he was worried that the entire Shangguan Mansion would be unlucky because of Shangguan Yutang's negligence.

Shangguan Wenchuan hurriedly stepped forward, clasped his hands into fists and said: "Concubine Zhen, please calm your anger, Yutang is not good for her protector, she should be punished, it is better to let her take care of the eldest prince for this period of time, until the eldest prince's shoulder injury heals." ”

Shangguan Wenchuan came up with a "good idea", Huangfu Hongyi frowned slightly after hearing it, what kind of person Huangfu Shao Yan is, he couldn't be clearer, arrogant and rude, if Yutang stays by Huangfu Shao Yan's side, he may suffer.

"Your Majesty, Yu Tang is not good at medical skills, not to mention that the eldest prince's injury is unpredictable for a while, and Yu Tang cannot be blamed for this matter."

Dugu Shaobai continued: "When the eldest prince was hit by an arrow, Yu Tang also gave the eldest prince a point in time to stop the bleeding, and the top priority is to find the assassin who hurt the two princes as soon as possible, not to blame Yu Tang." ”

Hearing Huangfu Hongyi and Dugu Shaobai intercede for Shangguan Yutang, Shangguan Wenchuan's face also improved, he was not worried about Shangguan Yutang, but worried that Shangguan Mansion would be implicated because of this, and he didn't have much affection for this daughter.

Hu Yanzhen was so angry that she was a princess, and the person who protected the country was not small, and she dared to disobey her.

"King Duanxian, Water Protector, our Shao Yan is not a man-eating monster, why can't we let the Mu Protector take care of him?"

Huangfu Yingming, who had been silent just now, didn't want to listen to them argue anymore, so he only asked Shangguan Yutang, "Mu Protector, what do you think?" ”

Shangguan Yutang looked at Shangguan Wenchuan and found that the other party was squinting at him, if he refused to call Yanzhen, with her temperament, presumably she would not give up and would definitely find trouble with Shangguan's mansion.

That's it, just like Hu Yanzhen said, Huangfu Shao Yan is not a man-eating monster, but he is a little tricky and mean, and it shouldn't be a problem to take care of him for half a month.

Shangguan Yutang bowed his hand wisely to the emperor: "Your Majesty, the minister is willing to take care of the eldest prince for half a month." ”

Hearing this answer, Shangguan Wenchuan finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, if she refused Concubine Zhen, it would not be the Huguo Villa that would be unlucky, and Shangguan Mansion, this girl was barely a person who knew the times, if it was because of her fault that the entire Shangguan Mansion was unstable, he would definitely have to settle accounts with her.

Leng Feng Juejian raised his eyebrows, he seemed to be thinking about something in his heart, and after a while, he said: "Mu Protector, why don't you drive the princes' carriage to send the two princes to our White Tiger Hall later." ”

Shangguan Yutang nodded, she didn't think much about it at the moment, anyway, she agreed to take care of the emperor Shao Yan for half a month, so what's the harm in driving for the princes.

……

Huangfu Hongyi, Dugu Shaobai, and a group of dragon guards stayed in the forest to search for the Assassins.

Shangguan Yutang left the forest and prepared to follow Leng Fengjie and his party to the White Tiger Hall.

Everyone worked together to carry Huangfu Shao Yan and Huangfu Shao Chen into the carriage they were riding in before, Hu Yanzhen and A Luo Liqing also stayed by their side, and Huangfu Shao Qi and Huangfu Shao Chen changed to a carriage to ride.

A Luo Liqing cried hoarsely, she lay on the body of the emperor Shao Chen and choked, crying so that her eyes were swollen like walnuts.

Hu Yanzhen's face was calm, she gloated and looked at Luo Liqing who was sobbing in front of her, and she wished that the emperor Shao Chen died on the way to the White Tiger Hall.

"Drive!" Shangguan Yutang sat in front of the carriage and drove the horse, the horse kept barking, one hoof was restlessly scraping the dust on the ground, as if it was upset, no matter what Shangguan Yutang called, it just wouldn't go.

Shangguan Yutang frowned slightly, thinking to himself what happened to this horse.

The whip in her hand was raised, and the whip struck the horse's buttocks, and suddenly the horse snorted, and its hooves rose into the air, and then quickly fell to the ground and ran forward.

The horse was unusually furious, and galloped towards a large tree in front of him.

Shangguan Yutang felt bad, the horses would hit the trees if they ran down again, and when the time came, they would only turn over on their backs.

"Phew!" Shangguan Yutang tightly pulled the horse's reins, but the horse's temperament was extremely manic, as if he was crazy, and he didn't listen to her at all.

Shangguan Yutang pulled the reins of the horse hard, but unfortunately the horse just couldn't stop.

"This ...... What's going on? Hu Yanzhen was bumping and bumping in the carriage, and she didn't know what was going on in a panic.

Seeing that the horses were about to crash into the tree, everyone was shocked, and if they ran into it, they would not die or be injured.

Shangguan Yutang's luck soared into the air, and just as she wanted to slash at the horse with one palm to stop the carriage, Huangfu Shenwu and Leng Feng flew in unison and blocked the horse.

The two of them were lucky, and the strong internal force lingered between their palms, forming an invisible barrier, and the horse could not rush forward under the resistance of the internal force.

The horse raised its front hooves, and the heart-rending whistling sound resounded through the mountains, and after a long howl, the horse finally calmed down.

After the bump just now, Hu Yanzhen was instantly dizzy, and finally stabilized his body.

Hu Yanzhen angrily lifted the curtain of the carriage, she poked her head out, and said angrily to Shangguan Yutang: "Do you know how to drive?" ”

Shangguan Yutang frowned and thought to himself, this horse was inexplicably manic, there must be a problem.

She hugged her fist to Hu Yanzhen without humility or arrogance: "Back to Concubine Zhen, the minister has been learning riding since she was ten years old, so she can't pull this horse, presumably there is something wrong with the horse." ”

Hu Yanzhen snorted coldly, and said angrily: "You are quite good at exculpating yourself, and you are splashing all the dirty water on the animals at this time?" ”

Huangfu Shenwu looked at the white saliva around the horse's mouth and explained: "Concubine Zhen, this horse does have a problem, there is a lot of white saliva on its mouth, as if it is suffering from crazy horse disease. ”

Leng Feng glanced at Huangfu Shenwu with a smile, and said, "You might as well stay and find out what happened to this horse, the injuries of the eldest prince and the fourth prince cannot be delayed." ”

"This king will order the dragon guards to investigate, and the eldest prince and the fourth prince will be placed in the carriage of this king and the emperor for the time being." Huangfu Shenwu's tone was calm, but he thought in his heart, Leng Feng is scheming, just in case, it is better to guard them.

Leng Feng glanced at Huangfu Shenwu coldly, and the cold light in his eyes flashed, it seemed that Huangfu Shenwu was still wary of him.

……

On Qingcheng Mountain, Dugu Shaobai and Huangfu Hongyi were performing an autopsy on the body of the man in black.

The man's clothes were removed, and no other injuries were found on the body, and there were no signs of struggle, only a bloody hole in his chest that had been pierced by a sharp arrow, as if he had been killed inadvertently.

Huangfu Hongyi has a dagger in his hand, which is hidden in the boot of the male corpse.

Huangfu Hongyi carefully examined a dagger, which was no different from an ordinary dagger, except that four small words were engraved on the hilt.

"Liu's knife shop?" Dugu Shaobai glanced at it and found the four words on the handle of the knife, and said: "Liu's knife shop mainly makes daggers and kitchen knives, the knives they create are sharp and tough, good quality and low price, this knife shop is very famous in the imperial capital." ”

Huangfu Hongyi: "It seems that the murderer is from the imperial capital. ”

If he was originally from Jiangnan City, it would only be superfluous to bring a dagger from the imperial capital city to Qingcheng Mountain, after all, there is no shortage of knife shops in Jiangnan City.

I don't know the meaning of this man in black, but he should not be in the same group as the assassin who shot and wounded the two princes.

If the Assassins wanted to find a scapegoat, they would not have taken the lives of the two princes before they were injured. It seems that the man in black may have interfered with the Assassin's actions, which is why he was killed.

At this moment, a guard approached, and the guard also had two bows and crossbows in his hands.

"Lord Fire Protector and Water Protector, this is a bow and crossbow found in the woods to the north and the woods to the west."

Dugu Shaobai took the bow and crossbow handed by the guard, both of which were very new, as if they had been abandoned in the forest today.

These two crossbows were so common that it was impossible to tell where the assassins came from from the shape of the crossbows, only that there were at least two of them at the moment.

Dugu Shaobai stood up, he looked into the distance, Qingcheng Mountain was surrounded by four mountains, and the nearby woods were thick, and it was not difficult for the assassin to hide in the woods.

Huangfu Hongyi walked up to him and analyzed: "The assassins only shot the princes in the shoulder, either because their archery skills were not good and they accidentally missed, or they just didn't want them to die, but the man in black was pierced through the heart by an arrow, which shows that the assassins' archery skills are not bad." ”

Dugu Shaobai frowned between his eyebrows, looked down at the bow and crossbow in his hand, and said: "Qingcheng Mountain Autumn Hunting, important ministers all know, if someone in the court wants to murder the prince, this is indeed a good opportunity, in the entire palace, no one knows that the eldest prince and the fourth prince often fight each other, and now they are both injured, I'm afraid ...... It is inevitable that some people will suspect the second prince and the third prince. ”
