Compared with the journey, the return journey is more leisurely and less busy, as long as the army is driven into the sub-attack along the route, it can be regarded as the merit of this conscription.

With such thoughts, the mood of the officers and men in the battalion has relaxed a lot, and there are more playful activities in their usual rest time, which can be regarded as a reward for the hard work of the past few months.

On this day, Yeqi pulled Qu Mingli out to shoot arrows to relax, and Yeqi deliberately found a deserted and uninhabited place, intending to try his best to compete.

"Aren't they coming?" Qu Mingli asked.

"They all have something to do, so they won't come to join in the fun," replied to him, "if you think there are fewer people, you can call the lieutenant general to come with you, I have never seen him shoot arrows." ”

Qu Mingli was helpless: "He is a busy man, how can he be invited so easily." Or just the two of us, the winner king, the loser Kou, you say, how do you want to lose to me? ”

Yeqi sneered, ignored his jokes, looked around, thought for a while, and still said, "It's too simple and boring." It's better for us to shoot live creatures. ”

"I don't see any living creatures in such a big area."

Jezzy pointed to the dense part of the grove and said, "When I set up camp, I saw that there were rabbits in this forest. We are better than beating rabbits, a stick of incense time is limited, whoever fights more will win. If you hit it, you can add another meal in the evening, do you think it's okay? ”

Qu Mingli naturally agreed, even if he shot a moving living creature, he was still confident that his archery was more accurate than Yeqi.

The two entered the woods, each of them divided into columns, and returned to the same place after setting a stick of incense.

Qu Mingli was originally full of confidence, but it wasn't until he entered the forest that he found something difficult. The grass in the forest is in the growing season, and it is very dense, even faintly covering the feet, so that people can't see whether there is anything under the grass. If a rabbit is hidden in the grass, and he does not move, and the human eye cannot see him, how can he be shot?

After a long while, Qu Mingli still didn't see the rabbit.

Just when Qu Ming was thinking that he was afraid that he was going to lose today's game, he suddenly found that there was a trace of grass being pressed under the tree in front of him, and when he looked closer, there were white fur-like objects.

It should be a rabbit, Qu Ming was fortunate to have gained something, and slowly approached there, and the bow in his hand had already set up an arrow.

Seeing that the thing was still not moving, Qu Mingli resolutely pulled his bow and shot out, hitting the object, the arrow was buried in the grass, and the hilt of the sword was still stuck straight in.

Qu Ming hurriedly walked over to take a look, but it was not a rabbit, but a corpse. The arrow he shot was right in the man's belly.

This incident alarmed the prince and the general, and all the guards were summoned overnight to discuss the matter.

It turned out that Ban Fei received a report from his subordinates in the morning, saying that a guard in the army was missing, and Ban Fei sent people to search everywhere but had no clue, and Qu Mingli accidentally found the body.

After examination, the military doctor reported that the person was stabbed in the heart, and there were no other external injuries on his body, and there were no signs of struggle before his death.

Qu Mingli thought about it after hearing this, it seemed that he was killed with a knife, that is to say, the person who harmed people should be people he knew well to be so guarded.

The people in the tent suddenly became dangerous, and looked at each other with suspicion, seeing that everyone was the murderer.

"Revenge, this must be revenge!" One of the guards suddenly shouted, "What do you see he is wearing?" ”

It's white.

Everyone saw it, but they were still puzzled.

The man continued: "Chai Jiaowei is a native of Yunguo, and he has admired black and taboo white since ancient times. Even for funerals, they are never dressed white. But now he has no blood stains on his chest but nowhere else.

It stands to reason that if you had been stabbed in the heart, even if there was no huge bleeding, there should have been some splattering on your clothes, and now there is nothing. In other words, the white clothes were changed into after the fact.

What is this not revenge? ”

When everyone heard him say this, they all recalled who Chai Jiaowei had a grudge with on weekdays.

"Could it be the Jin Jiaowei of Dingguo?" I don't know who shouted in the crowd, "Dingguo worships white and avoids black, which is just the opposite of Yunguo." ”

"Speaking of which, two days ago, the two of them had a quarrel over this matter."

"I saw it too, and I almost started to do it!"

Doubts began to flow out.

"It's not me, I didn't do it!" Jin Jiaowei stood up and argued.

"I obviously saw the two of you arguing, don't deny it."

"No one else has a motive but you!"

Everyone was arguing, and they all thought that Jin Jiaowei had done this.

"That's it!" Shi Shu slapped the table, scaring everyone into quiet.

I have never seen the prince get so angry, and no one dares to speak out.

"Come on, take down the Jin Jiaowei first, and the others will disperse first. Come again, send Chai Jiaowei back to his hometown and comfort his family. ”

Everyone withdrew from the camp as ordered, leaving only Ning Zeqing alone.

After Qu Mingli walked out of the tent, Yeqi stopped him and followed.

"Blame me, what do you say about archery and rabbit hunting, otherwise I wouldn't have let you encounter this kind of thing. Well, you weren't scared, were you? ”

Qu Mingli breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I was a little scared at first, but now I have eased up." I wondered, who did this? ”

"Didn't you say it, it must be Jin Jiaowei, except for him, no one has a grudge against Chai Jiaowei."

Qu Mingli frowned and thought, "It's because there is only one option that I feel suspicious. Ban Fei said that Chai Jiaowei disappeared in the morning, but it was already night when he found out, what happened in between? Moreover, Jin Jiaowei is shorter than Chai Jiaowei, and with a dagger, the wound should be facing downward, but the wound is obviously facing upward. Besides, even if a person with a grudge appears in front of him, he should also be a little vigilant, why does Chai Jiaowei have no backhand? ”

Seeing that he was thinking too much, Yeqi patted him on the shoulder and walked with his arms around him: "Don't think so much about it first. I'm hunting rabbits, let's go, let's have some food together. ”

In the tent, Shi Shu and Ning Zeqing's faces were not very good.

"What do you think?" Shi Shu asked.

Ning Zeqing was cautious: "It shouldn't be Jin Jiaowei." ”

"I don't think it's him. The look on his face that was just called out of his name would not be fake. ”

"Indeed, his panic and panic should not be acted."

Shi Shu nodded, and asked again: "Could it be related to the person who stole into the book tent and the military tent before?" Did you find anything about that? ”

Ning Zeqing shook his head: "I only found some clues." My guess is that they must be a group, otherwise they wouldn't have cooperated so well. But I still don't have a clue who they are. ”

"Then what do you think is the purpose of their murder this time?"

"I don't understand this, if you say revenge, it's not as vicious, if you say that you have the opportunity, why do you change clothes with special meaning for him? No matter how you think about it, there is no solution. ”

"What was it about Chai Jiaowei that made them choose him? What is the purpose of this move? ”

Ning Zeqing also thought about it and couldn't answer.

The atmosphere in the tent grew heavier.
