Chapter 220: The Mysterious Dark Arrow
Mu Lingyun came back from the Hou Mansion, Jin Shaoming had been waiting for a long time, and when he saw her solemn expression, he was also worried, although the emperor pardoned Hou Lin, but this was actually more cruel to Hou Lin, allowing him to live alone in the world.
"Is Hou Lin okay?"
"Oh no, he lost so much in an instant."
"Don't worry too much, he'll get through it."
"He left the capital and went to other places, and I was a little embarrassed when I saw him carrying a bag alone just now."
The more Mu Lingyun spoke, the more sad she felt, she burrowed into Jin Shaoming's arms, and needed his hug to give some comfort.
"It's going to pass."
Jin Shaoming wrapped his hands around her weak body and comforted.
"And Master Hou didn't say who was behind the scenes before he died, so what should we do in the future?"
"It's okay, I'll find out about it."
"But it's going to be a problem."
"It's okay, it can be solved."
Jin Shaoming comforted Mu Lingyun in his arms, and Mu Lingyun snuggled in his arms for a long time before calming down.
"Better?"
Mu Lingyun nodded, she was just too easy to be sad, she wouldn't have been like this before, but after Zicong and Jin Shaoming were together, she didn't know why she had this problem.
"Your injuries are not healed yet, don't be too sad, it's not good for your injuries."
Only then did Mu Lingyun feel a faint pain in the wound on his waist.
Jin Shaoming helped Mu Lingyun back to his room to rest, and it was already dusk when he woke up.
"Shaoming, the sunset is so beautiful today, let's go out and have a look."
Jin Shaoming glanced outside, and the soft sunset was surrounded by a few thin white clouds.
"Okay, I'll help you out for a walk."
When the two of them went out, there was a whole cold wind blowing, Jin Shaoming felt a little strange, and then looked at the sunset and felt a little desolate and bleak.
At this time, several masked black-clothed people quietly appeared around the Mingwang Mansion, holding bows and arrows.
Jin Shaoming noticed something unusual, and before he had time to say to Mu Lingyun, in an instant, ten thousand arrows were fired, and arrows from all directions were shot at them, although Jin Shaoming was full of kung fu, but there was also a hurtful Mu Lingyun by his side.
As soon as she didn't pay attention, she saw that an arrow was about to shoot at Mu Lingyun's heart, but Mu Lingyun had no power to parry, seeing that the tip of the arrow was about to pierce her heart, between lightning and fire, she was pulled behind by Jin Shaoming, and he was hit by an arrow in the chest, and Jin Shaoming pulled out the arrow horizontally.
He gritted his teeth and continued to deal with the man in black, the group of men in black, a rain of arrows did not solve Jin Shaoming and Mu Lingyun, they quickly disappeared, and Jin Shaoming exhausted his strength and fell to the ground.
"Shaoming!" He collapsed on a mess of arrows, leaving a pool of blood around him.
"I'm fine, you help me back to my room."
"You've shed a lot of blood, I'll call the Imperial Doctor."
"It's okay, just take a break."
Helping Jin Shaoming to get to bed, Mu Lingyun hurriedly bandaged him with hemostatic powder and gauze, looking at the blood dripping along the road, his heart was even more worried.
"Who dares to come to our house to commit murder, it's so bold."
"This matter must have something to do with the mastermind behind the scenes."
"What?."
"They must think that we know too much, and they can't wait to kill people, I see that those people in black are agile, their arrows are deadly, they are not casual people." He breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "You go and help me pick up a few arrows, and I'll take a look." ”
Mu Lingyun picked up an arrow from outside the door and gave it to him, Jin Shaoming looked at the arrow, an unusual look appeared on his face, he knew the symbol of the eagle on the arrow.
"Do you see anything?"
"Today's assassination is not small."
He handed the arrow to Mu Lingyun, and Mu Lingyun noticed the sign, which was very shallow and small, and he couldn't see it at all if he didn't pay attention to it.
"What is this?"
"This is the sign that only arrows in the palace have."
"The people in the palace want to kill us?"
"I'm not sure yet, but we must have been targeted."
"Whoever dares to mess around, I will kill him without leaving a piece of armor."
"Don't mess around, this matter is not trivial."
Mu Lingyun lowered his head, looked at the arrow in his hand, and suddenly remembered in his mind that Hou Lin had said that Yang Guifei would often sit with Hou Ye before.
"Hou Lin said that Yang Guifei would often go to the Hou Mansion to sit in the past, will this matter have anything to do with her?"
Jin Shaoming frowned and pondered, his mind had been searching for Yang Guifei's bits and pieces, and then shook his head.
"Yang Guifei is in the palace, she has no power or power, it shouldn't be her."
"I thought so before, so I didn't feel at ease, but today's events make me feel that I must have an inextricable relationship with her."
"When my injuries are healed, I'll visit the palace and I'll know."
After more than half a month, Jin Shaoming recovered his body, and the first thing he did was to go to the palace.
was in the early dynasty, Jin Shaoming stopped the Chen supervisor of the bow and crossbow department.
"Supervisor Chen, please stay."
"His Royal Highness King Ming, what do you command?"
"Supervisor Chen, there's something I want to ask you about next."
He took out the handle of the arrow from his sleeve and handed it to Supervisor Chen.
Supervisor Chen glanced at it, looked up and asked suspiciously, "What is this?" ”
"I was assassinated in the house some time ago, and the arrows left behind are engraved with this symbol."
"Is there such a thing?"
"So I want to ask Supervisor Chen to help me look at the origin of this arrow and find out the real culprit."
"This arrow is made in the palace, but there are so many departments that it is used every day, it is difficult to confirm."
"Where are the arrows needed?"
"There are many places to use it, the prince practices shooting, the emperor goes out to hunt, and the military academy is forbidden."
"Is there a need for the harem?"
"Harem? No. ”
After hearing this, Jin Shaoming thought for a moment and had no choice but to give up.
"Then thank you to Supervisor Chen."
Supervisor Chen took two steps, patted his head and turned around and said, "It's not impossible to use this harem, there is a dark team to protect the harem." ”
Jin Shaoming's eyes lit up, "Thank you Supervisor Chen." ”
He turned around and went to Yang Guifei's dormitory.
Yang Guifei was enjoying flowers and tea in her garden at this time, looking leisurely.
Seeing Jin Shaoming coming from a distance, she was still a little puzzled in her heart.
"Yang Guifei."
"King Ming, what kind of wind blew you to me today?"
"Weichen has something to do today, and I need to ask Yang Guifei for advice."
"Oh? What's important, but also bothering you. ”
Jin Shaoming slowly took out the arrow in his cuff.
"I don't know about this thing, can Yang Guifei recognize it?"
He looked at Yang Guifei, his eyes changed from bewilderment to horror to concealment.
"I don't know."
"Oh?"
"Weichen was killed by a secret arrow in the house a few days ago, and the arrow handles left behind all bear this mark, and the supervisor of the bow and crossbow department Chen said that this is from the harem."
"Ridiculous!"
Yang Guifei couldn't sit still, jumped up from her position, and said angrily.
"Say it's me without evidence, you have evidence, be careful that I and the emperor refer to you."
"Wechen was terrified, but Wechen just asked for advice, not that it was the concubine who did it."
Jin Shaoming bowed his head, but his tone was playful.
"You're kidding Hongu."
"Wechen doesn't dare, it's just that Wechen's life is at stake, and we must find out."
"Hmph, then you can figure it out for yourself, I don't want to talk to you too much."
Knowing that she was out of shape, she was afraid that she would be exposed if she said more, so Yang Guifei walked away.
Jin Shaoming looked at Yang Guifei's distant figure, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.
And Yang Guifei was in the palace, she couldn't sit still, and after thinking for a while, she went to Concubine Xuan's bedroom.
Concubine Xuan saw Yang Guifei's face solemn from afar, and she hurried over, feeling uneasy.
"What's so alarming?"
"Sister is not good, then King Ming probably knows something."
"It's impossible, I guess I just want to find you to play tricks, don't be fooled."
"I don't, but seeing that the matter is about to be revealed, should we solve the matter as soon as possible?"
Concubine Xuan couldn't bear it either, she got up and paced in the lobby to think, and after a long time she said: "In a few days, you invite Jin Shaoming to sit in your palace, just say that you know who the person behind this is, and I will arrange for someone to poison his food, and it will be foolproof." ”
"It's a good idea, but my sister is far-sighted."
"That's right, since I was sent to the cold palace, only you will come to see me, we are grasshoppers on a rope."
Yang Guifei was happy, she and Concubine Xuan knew each other and smelled the same, Concubine Xuan fell into the cold palace, she thought it was just the wrong time, so she had been in contact with her, and wanted to wait for her to get glory and wealth again when she turned over. ”
"Sister, if you ascend the throne, don't forget your sister."
"Naturally not, it's my sister who helped me, I want the current emperor, the mediocre government, there is Lu Wu as an example, I should be obligated to govern the dynasty."
"My sister is very intelligent, she must be a generation of Ming Jun, and she will go down in history in the future."
"You go and make an appointment with King Ming first, don't delay our plan."
"Then my sister will go and prepare, and my sister will have a good rest." Yang Guifei said goodbye to Concubine Xuan with peace of mind.
A few days later, Yang Guifei sent someone to the Mingwang Mansion to deliver a message.
Mu Lingyun and Jin Shaoming listened to the words of their subordinates in the hall.
"Did your mother really say that she knew who was behind the scenes, so she let me enter the palace for an interview?" Jin Shaoming still couldn't believe it.
"Exactly."
"Shaoming, this must be a trap, you better not go." Mu Lingyun whispered to Jin Shaoming.
"If you don't enter the tiger's den, you can get the tiger, I have to go."
"Then you take me, otherwise I won't worry."
"It's not easier for me to be distracted with you, just listen to me this time, I have my own measure." He stopped Mu Lingyun's words with his hand, turned his head and said to his subordinates: "Go back and tell your master, I will definitely arrive." ”
After the subordinates retreated, Mu Lingyun jumped up directly from her position, and Jin Shaoming pressed her shoulder.
"If I go this time, maybe I'll know who is behind the scenes."
"But the deep palace is sinister."
Jin Shaoming hugged her and whispered, "Don't worry, I'll come back well." ”
Mu Lingyun knew that he couldn't compete with him, so he had to give up.
"You must give me a good life to come back, otherwise I will go to Yang Guifei to make a restless situation."
