In the Imperial Palace, Lu Gaoqiu was injured and had just returned to Kyoto, and at this time he knelt under His Royal Highness, not daring to move.

The emperor sat in the compartment of the inner room of the Imperial Palace, listening to Lu Gaoqiu's report. Angrily, he stood up from the soft collapse, took the hot pot of warm tea from the end plate in the hand of the eunuch on the side, and threw it out towards Lu Gaoqiu.

The hot pot didn't hit Lu Gaoqiu, but the hot water inside splashed on his face, causing him to tremble, but he still didn't dare to raise his head, and stiffened his body and knelt in place.

"You killed all the dozens of people in the Meng family, such a big move, I'm afraid that others won't know that I ordered you to assassinate, right?!"

"There are so many guards in your division, why do you still send Red Shadow? The whole world knows that the Red Shadow Killer is my guard, and I wish everyone in the world knew about it! It's just stupid! Stupid! ”

The emperor was so angry that he coughed violently a few times, directly shook off the hand of the concubine next to him, rushed to Lu Gaoqiu's side, stretched out his foot and kicked him a few times, and was stopped by the concubine walking over.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" The concubine grabbed his arm, glanced down at Lu Gaoqiu, and then turned to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, Lord Lu is also in order to carry out your will smoothly, just in case, I sent the Red Shadow Killer to go together, everyone knows that the children of Xiaojin Villa are all martial arts masters......"

"Dozens of members of the Meng family will die when they die, your majesty, don't be angry about it......" The concubine gave the panting emperor a smooth breath, pulled him around, and returned to the soft collapse together.

Then Concubine An Guiqiu gave Lu Gaoqiu a look at Lu Gaoqiu, who raised his head, and Lu Gaoqiu immediately raised his head in place with red eyes and said to the emperor, "This assassination failed, please punish the emperor." ”

The emperor had just finished venting, took the concubine's hand back to the soft couch, calmed down and turned around angrily and said, "There is one more thing I want to ask you, what is Yunhe doing in Minshan County?" The dignified general neglected his duties, left Beijing without permission, and finally died in a county town. ”

"The subordinates don't know ......," Lu Gaoqiu said, "The subordinates had no intention of hurting General Yunhe, but the general insisted on protecting them, and the subordinates had to summon the Red Shadow as a last resort in order to complete the emperor's task." ”

"Later, his subordinates were injured and could only hide in the grass next to him, and suddenly he didn't know who fired arrows, and General Yunhe was killed by arrows." Lu Gaoqiu hugged his fists and said, "Your Majesty, your subordinates have ordered someone to investigate the forces in Minshan County that night, and they will definitely find out who killed General Yunhe!" ”

"That's it...... Maybe that's destiny! Yunhe himself ran to Minshan County and died in Minshan County, which is also a causal cycle. The emperor waved his hand as he spoke, and instructed Liu Gong, who was standing on the side, to be fair, "You go to the General's Mansion to send an edict, seal Yunhe as a first-grade military candidate for Anhe, and the funeral regulations will be handled in accordance with the official position of Yipin." ”

"Yes." Gonggong Liu got the order and retreated.

"It's time for Yunhe's military power to be withdrawn, and it just so happens that he hasn't been able to find a suitable opportunity...... "The emperor muttered, and then turned back to Lu Gao and begged, "You still have to send someone to keep an eye on that Xiao Tiyun, and if you can't do it once, wait for the next opportunity!" ”

Lu Gao begged for the order to leave the palace, and during this time, he secretly glanced at Concubine An Guifei beside the emperor. Concubine An gave him a look, and he lowered his head and turned around and walked out of the hall.

In a side room in General Anhe's mansion, he was examining Yun He's wounds, and Yun An was standing aside with his arms crossed, with a gloomy expression.

"County Lord, the general was indeed killed by an arrow, but there is toxin left in the general's body, and it should be poisoned in the arrow. The toxin paralyzed the heart and led to the general's death. ”

"Look at the wound formed by the arrow." He walked over and pointed to the position of Yunhe's chest with his finger, "The wound is different from ordinary arrow wounds, it seems that after the arrow shot the general, the wound was expanded. He bowed his body and said respectfully to Yun An.

"Poison in the arrow?" Yun An half-narrowed his eyes, "I've never heard of such an arrow in the world, have you heard of it?" ”

"The subordinates have not heard of it, but according to the experience of the subordinates for many years, they can roughly draw a sketch of the murder weapon. The design and material of this arrow are very delicate and special, and the county lord can use this map to go to the people to search, and maybe there will be a harvest. So saying, the servant cleaned his hand and drew an iron arrow on the paper with a brush.

Yun An frowned when he took it, and sighed in his mouth, "The design of this arrow is really very exquisite, and I don't know who designed it or who can create such a sharp weapon." ”

For the next two days, Yun An went around looking for blacksmiths in Kyoto with arrow diagrams, but no one had ever seen such iron arrows.

This time there was still no gain, and she was about to walk out of the blacksmith shop. The blacksmith behind him suddenly looked up from the blazing furnace and called out to her.

"The county lord stays." The blacksmith said, "The county lord is looking around, it is better to go to the prince's mansion and ask the current prince's highness." The grass people heard that he was most fond of collecting delicate and sharp weapons, and he might not have seen such arrows. ”

Yun An listened to his words, didn't think much about it, and left the blacksmith shop without looking back, and went straight to the prince's mansion.

In the prince's mansion, Ji Niang reported to Qianyi, "The county lord listened to the words and was already on his way." ”

"Good." The prince stood under the eaves of the house, and it was snowing again, and he looked up at the courtyard, "This year's snow is extraordinarily heavy and beautiful." ”

Yun An came to the prince's mansion, and at this time Qian Yi was lecturing to the child in the study. Hearing that Yun An was coming to see him, he asked the girl on the side to take the child down, and instructed the people below to take Yun An to the study.

"Yun An has seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Yun An went all the way into the study under the wind and snow, and the girl on the side helped take off her cloak.

"The county lord is here, I don't know what is looking for Qianyi?" Qianyi spoke very politely, peaceful and close.

Yun An took out the drawings from his arms and handed them to Qian Yi, and then asked, "Yun An heard that His Royal Highness likes to collect exquisite artifacts from all over the world, I don't know if I have seen this thing." ”

Qian Yi opened the drawing, frowned, and said, "I seem to have seen this arrow, but it doesn't look the same." ”

After that, he walked over to the table on the side, picked up a brush and drew an arrow, blew the paper and handed it to Yun An.

Yun An took it and took a look, and the doubts in his heart were immediately solved.

"This arrow has a small tube containing poison in the body, and when the arrow hits an object, the three-petaled blade of the arrow opens, and the venom flows down the sharp blade into the person's body, and then the person dies."

"The picture that the county lord showed me just now is just an arrow that is similar, so I don't know if the county lord is looking for the arrow I drew." Qian Yi explained the arrow on the painting and asked again.

"No wonder...... No wonder he said that the eldest brother was poisoned and died, I have never been able to figure it out, it turned out that there was a Qiankun in the body ......of the arrow," Yun An muttered, and then immediately raised his head and asked Qianyi, "Where has Your Highness seen this arrow?" Who made this arrow? ”

"The designer of this sky-breaking arrow was Xiao Jinzhi, a talented girl who was famous all over the world back then, and then handed it over to Qianwu to build. Because the material design is extremely demanding, no one has been able to create it. I don't know if Qianwu found the craftsman later......" Qianyi spoke, and Yun An only grasped the point she heard.

"How could it be Brother Qianwu?" Yun An was taken aback, and suddenly asked Qianyi again, "This year's Lantern Festival, can Brother Qianwu be in Beijing?" ”

"The Lantern Festival is the death day of the emperor's grandfather, and there is no banquet in the palace. Two days before the festival, Qianwu took leave from his father, saying that he was going to Huaqing Temple to meet with the host of Yicun. Qianyi said lightly, "Huaqing Temple is in Rizhao County, and the distance is far away, but it is also a loss to Qianwu to have this heart, and he has prayed for the emperor's grandfather for many years." ”

"So Brother Qianwu was not in Beijing at the time, and the design and creation of the Sky Breaking Arrow was made by the two of them......" Yun An leaned on the table on the side, lowered his head and muttered, "Although the eldest brother is not in harmony with Brother Qianwu, it is not ......."

"I heard that General Yunhe's funeral is going to take place tomorrow, why does the county lord still have the leisure to come to my prince's mansion?" Qianyi asked, "I don't know why the county lord came to me with this drawing, could it be ......?"

"It's none of your business!" Yun An's tears fell, and he hurriedly ran out of the prince's mansion.

Yun An returned to the General's Mansion, and the whole person sat thinking about what happened during the day, and the drawings drawn by Qian Yi in his hand fell to the ground with the wind. She looked over in confusion, and suddenly saw the scroll in the corner.

This scroll came to Kyoto with Yunhe's carriage at that time, and Yun'an has been busy dealing with Yunhe's affairs for the past few days and has not noticed. At this time, when I saw it, I walked over, picked up the scroll, opened the cloth, and pulled the painting apart little by little, and was stunned when I saw it.

This is...... Xiao Tiyun? It doesn't look like it, either. Yun An frowned, a little puzzled in his heart.

The painting depicts a woman with sparse eyebrows and eyes, delicate and agile. Dressed in a purple gauze robe, he lay lazily on a stone couch. There was a white porcelain wine bottle hanging from his hand, and he was raising his head and smiling lightly.

Her face is almost identical to Tiyun, the only difference is her temperament. Yun An noticed the black mole in the corner of her eye and the ring spirit bracelet on her hand. Could this be what Concubine An and the second lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion said before...... Xiao Jinzhi?

Yun An looked at the person on the painting, and planned to find a suitable opportunity to bring the painting into the palace for Concubine An to take a look.

Looking at the quiet smiling face of Xiao Jinzhi on the painting, I don't know why, Yun An actually had all kinds of resentment and jealousy in his heart.

The eldest brother was killed by Nan Wang Ye in order to protect Xiao Tiyun, and the designer of the murder weapon here was Xiao Jinzhi...... Yun An clenched his fists and slammed it the table, secretly hating in his heart.

One killed my brother, the other trampled on my dignity.

The southern prince is a thousand fogs, and Xiao Tiyun ...... I, Yun'an, swear today that I will not share the sky with the two of you! Today I learned the truth of the matter, and I got this painting again, and one day I will take advantage of the grievances and hatred between the three of you to torture you to death!
