501 Book Arrows
Poison has always been a weapon for women to kill people, and there is a misunderstanding in Baiyue Country, if anyone dies of poisoning, then the murderer will be a woman.
For a world like Baiyue Country, which is in the era of cold weapons, all men have the strength to do so, and they have more or less learned some combat skills when they were young.
At this point, Zhou Shu is quite understandable. Modern people live in a world where no matter how much you exercise, you can't win a few hundred pistols, and with this kind of thought, few people are willing to put their experience into such a thing.
Although the original intention of exercising should be to strengthen the body and make yourself healthier, the reality is that almost all young people who are working out for the first time are dumbbells with the belief that they can play better.
Living in a world of cold weapons, men need to give themselves the ability to protect their families, and women are the ones who need to be protected. Therefore, men use the sword to kill people, and poison is something that women only use when they kill.
Midali's body was found to be a chronic poison, which made Zhou Shu very puzzled.
After driving the doctor away and ordering him to keep it secret, Midali eats the fried egg she made herself, feeling depressed.
She believes that eggs are absolutely safe, and so are oils. If you want to poison eggs, the demand for technical benefits is too high, and the impurities mixed in the edible oil can be easily detected, so it is no problem to eat like this.
Zhou Shu also left a lot of jelly beans for Midali, which is also quite full, which is extremely useful in this situation.
The two of them squatted listlessly in the big tent at lunchtime, completely unable to understand the current situation.
First of all, Midali was chronically poisoned, which is certain to be true. She had already begun to send someone to investigate the matter in the army, hoping to find clues. The guy who poisoned him used chronic poison, apparently not wanting Midali to die too quickly. Otherwise, any snake venom anywhere can directly kill her.
However, the fireball that fell from the sky yesterday obviously did not mean to make Midali die slowly, which means that the two murderers are likely to belong to different camps. One wants Midali to die of weakness, the other wants her to die of a barbecue.
"How many people have you provoked!!!" Zhou Shu, as a good friend of this red woman, spoke a little excitedly.
Midali's grievance, "I'm a dignified legion commander. What's wrong with being assassinated a few times, whatever!"
The test report of Midali's food soon came out, and no traces of poison were found in what she ate this morning or last night. In other words, the poison she took was not like taking cold medicine, which was fixed every day, so that the scope of investigation of the source of the poison should be expanded, at least not only the inside of the eagle killer.
This made Midali and Zhou Shu breathe a sigh of relief together, compared to the appearance of inner ghosts in the Eagle Slayer. This situation can be explained by the fact that Midali was poisoned in a restaurant outside one day. That's more acceptable.
Zhou Shu dropped the test sheet that he couldn't understand at all. depressed: "No matter, that's it." Aren't you going to Southern Highlands right away? It should be safer on the road than stationed here, when are you leaving? ”
"Two days later. Midali spread her hands. "What about you, when are you going to Hanhai City. ”
"I don't know. I guess I'll have to wait three to five days. ”
"Then we can't go together. Midali looked a little frustrated. She still hopes that Zhou Shu can stay by her side as a bodyguard, and it seems impossible to open it now.
"Not necessarily. Long Yang shook the sick princess with the phone, and soon, the other party came back. "What's the matter, Miss, you're not busy with work over there. ”
The princess of another world, who used her mobile phone very well, sighed into the microphone, "It's okay, now that I'm in good health, I can't die of exhaustion." ”
"Can you find time to meet?"
"Hmm......" The sick princess didn't ask why she wanted to meet, she fell into deep thought, and then highlighted three words, "No time." ”
"That's right...... And what about tomorrow?"
"Tomorrow you can. Is something wrong?"
Zhou Shu was a little weak-hearted and told him about his side of Midali, saying that he wanted to rush to the south with Midali's Falcon Slayer. Although one faces southwest and the other goes straight south, it is good to be able to walk together for a while.
The gray witch still has some formalities to go through at the Two Realms Gate, and it will take a few days to rush over, so Zhou Shuxun thought that he would not wait for him, and set off first.
After listening to this, the sick princess did not speak about Zhou Shu's itinerary, but gave an explanation for the assassination of Midali.
"I think the poisoning and the fireball must have been done by the same person. ”
"Why?"
"Quite simply, Midali was assassinated because of me. ”——
Midali and Zhou Shu had been thinking about whether there was any enemy or Midali had inadvertently provoked someone. Come to think of it, they have always put the possibility on Midali and ignored some of the assassinations caused by political reasons.
The sick princess's voice came from the other side of the phone, and it seemed that she was sorting out the papers. It didn't take long for the princess to speak again, "I didn't sleep all night yesterday, and I've been dealing with the accumulated government affairs, and by the way, dealing with those who thought I was dead. ”
The poor sick princess said she felt more malice in one day yesterday than in all previous months combined.
"Some people were disappointed that I came back quietly, and some irrational guys even framed me, saying that I had lost my body and was no longer qualified to be the heir to the throne. ”
Zhou Shu pursed his lips weakly when he heard this, he was very glad that he didn't do anything out of the ordinary to his eldest lady.
"Who said that about you?"
"You don't know you, and you're just angry when I told you, and you can't help with that. ”
The sick princess wants to settle things, at least she doesn't want Zhou Shu to come and give her a blind consultation. There was such a difference between a smart woman and a stupid woman before, and not all grievances have to be said to men. The sick princess did not have a high number of weeks, and those people even hinted that they wanted to verify their true body, so as to insult themselves. She was afraid to say it. Zhou Shu would go to assassinate people overnight. It's okay to say if you can kill it, but if you make a mistake, you'll be in trouble.
Now that the White Moon Kingdom is about to usher in large-scale civil strife, the sick princess hopes that the vacated land can be increased. Whether it's the lands that have been blistered and can't be cultivated, or the lands that are about to lose their former lords.
The sick princess has made a note of those who embarrass herself. The assassination still has to be done. Although she is a law-abiding princess who regards the law as supreme, she doesn't mind using extraordinary measures in this area of the royal court, which is not currently controlled by the law.
Zhou Shu's assassination ability made the sick princess not trust very much, anyway, the gray witch would come over in a few days. The sick princess prepares to give the task to her most trusted magician.
She is also not worried about whether anyone will suspect what she has done as a princess after someone is killed. She believed that there were only two forces in the royal court now, either friends or enemies, and there was no need to win over the object of incitement, and the two sides were ironclad.
She didn't know what was going on with her enemy, and she didn't even know for what purpose the enemy would be immature and openly oppose her. She only knew that as long as she killed these people, her friends would only think that she had made a decisive move, and if the enemy had the ability to stand up and seek justice. Then you have more targets to deal with.
Zhou Shu could hear it. The eldest lady of her own family seems to live a life similar to that of Gong Dou. was quite anxious about her, but she said that Midali's matter was not detailed, and Master Zhou didn't understand.
"It's simple. Because everyone knows that the Falcon Killer and I, the first princess, have a close relationship, I took too much care of the Falcon Killer before. Some people probably think that the Falcon Slayer is my personal army. I was unhappy, so I played the assassination hand. ”
Midali had indeed been cared for a lot by the sick princess before, and she recalled it a little, thinking that this might be the truth.
"But why did they want to kill me slowly, and now they have changed their attitude?"
The sick princess laughed on the other end of the phone, "Of course it's because I'm back, and they've messed with me." I guess they were worried that I would do something too much to them by ordering you to kill the Falcons, so they decided to abandon the slow assassination method and need to make the Falcons mess up for a while because of the death of the regimental commander. ”
Midali had always thought that she was the smartest type of woman, but now she is beginning to wonder if she is really as smart as the sick princess.
After listening to the words of the sick princess, Zhou Shu didn't know if it would be better for him to stay in the capital to protect his dear. "If I'm not there, won't you be too dangerous alone. ”
"Yes. The sick princess confessed, "Can you turn me into a bodyguard?"
"By the way, what about Xiao Tao?" Zhou Shu suddenly remembered Dorothy, he hadn't seen her since he came back.
"She's there for me, but she's not a reliable bodyguard. ”
Of course Zhou Shu knew this, he didn't mean to give the sick princess bodyguards, but he could give her the ability to defend herself. Yu Feiniao's earrings that can control the flames of the eye, he still has a pair in his hand, maybe he can give it to the sick princess.
The sick princess couldn't help but laugh when she heard this, "You mean, let me, a dignified princess, wear earrings like small wooden sticks in front of people? ”
"You can decorate it with a gem. ”
The sick princess smiled happily on the phone, saying that Zhou Shu did not know the rules of the royal court. And everyone knows that he is a martial artist of the inner intestine moon level, and there are no ear piercings in his earlobes at all, if he wears a piercing earring, he will definitely be talked about, and it is not impossible to cause a burst of conspiracy theories.
"Alas, you're so tired of living. Zhou Shu gave up.
"But ......," said the sick princess, "you don't have to wear that thing on your earlobe to work, do you?" ”
Zhou Shu has been used to being teased by his eldest lady, and the two agreed to meet early tomorrow morning, and Zhou Shuhui was officially invited to enter the palace and meet as the commander of a thousand people under the Eagle Slayer, and Midali will also accompany him. In this way, in the eyes of others, Midali is the protagonist of the interview, and Zhou Shu is just a small supporting role.
"By the way, can you dye your hair?" The sick princess felt that Zhou Shu's black hair was too conspicuous, although black hair was not uncommon in Baiyue Kingdom, but it matched Zhou Shu's complexion. The features are too obvious.
"This ......" Zhou Shu thought for a while and solemnly refused. "I'd rather shave my head. ”
The sick princess originally wanted to see what Zhou Shu would look like when she dyed her little yellow hair, but when she saw that the other party insisted, she didn't insist on it herself-
Early the next morning. A messenger from the palace summoned Midali and said that she could only bring one attendant, so Zhou Shu, who had been prepared for a long time, stood up directly, and the two minutes of preparation time were useless. Straight under the tall horse that Midali was riding, he trotted all the way.
He could ride a horse, but he looked like a novice in his riding posture. As a thousand-man commander who followed the commander of the legion, riding like that, like that? So he simply ran all the way, thinking of himself as a walking enthusiast.
The messenger led the way on horseback, and he didn't understand why Midali's alien chiefs were running around the ground in new clothes, making their rare clothes dusty.
The clothes on Zhou Shu's body were worn by Midali who helped him choose to meet the princess. She knew that the sick princess didn't care what Zhou Shu wore to see her, maybe that princess would prefer Zhou Shu not to wear anything, but since this was not a private meeting. It's better to be more formal.
The Courier had wanted to make an inquiry. After all, there are not many people who have to run on the highway without doing a car. It's a pity. Before he could speak, two feathered arrows from the side of the road stabbed him directly into the head.
Zhou Shu sensed the enemy earlier than the messenger's brain, and he was glad that he was not riding a horse. Then you may not have the strength to dodge the arrows.
It is not the first time that Zhou Shu has been attacked with a bow and arrow by hiding in the shadows. Yesterday, I was shot in the thigh by a little girl. Before, in the Defeated City, the fake princess was almost forgotten by the fir princess's full blow, and Zhou Shu hated this kind of attack.
When he saw someone attacking, he directly reached out and dragged Midali off his horse, then summoned an empty treasure chest out of thin air, stuffed Midali into it, and then summoned the treasure chest back.
He was not prepared to capsize in such a gutter. The Book of Summons doesn't show that there are no strong men nearby, but there are a bunch of strong men. It's just that the Book of Summoning can't show the clothes and weapons, and the Book of Zhou has no way of knowing whether these people are enemies or not.
In the face of the attack, he decided to fight a serious team battle, wiped out the opposite dough, and grabbed a few live mouths for questioning by the way. In the midst of the stray arrows, Master Zhou slowly grabbed the armor of the chief black wood from the space belt, tore it on his body, and added the armor to his body.
In the process, he put all his energy on protecting his head and heart, and he was hit by a few arrows in other parts, and he was not strict. With the strength of his body, the arrows could no longer penetrate once they were inserted into the muscles.
After changing his dress, Master Zhou turned on his horsepower and chased in the direction where the arrows were flying, and easily grabbed the two people from the roadside trees. Then he held down two more in a low bush, and the four of them fell directly to the Fa.
He tied the four men with ropes, stepped on the ground and asked, "Tell me, who let you come?" ”
The four guys who were caught laughed, then bit their back molars, and soon rolled their eyes and hung up. They have a poison sac in their mouths, and they are also very old-fashioned heroic righteousness.
Just when Zhou Shu arrived and was upset, from the depths of the woods, a feather arrow was directly inserted into his head, and the arrow was caught in the air hole of the helmet. If the power of this arrow hits a little more, the arrow will probably break through the air hole and insert it into Zhou Shu's mouth.
"Damn, are you shooting so accurately in the woods?" Zhou Shu reluctantly slapped the arrow away, and went into the woods to continue to arrest people.
Chief Kuroki's armor could basically ignore all the arrows that flew at him, and he couldn't figure out why these guys didn't run away after the death of their accomplices, and had to do something as futile as suicidal. Didn't he know that he was a high-level martial artist?
With a problem, Master Zhou easily caught a little girl who was shooting arrows. He broke the girl's bow and grabbed an arrow and plunged it into her stomach, so that he could see her face.
"Hey, familiar, have the two of us met?"
Zhou Shu's memory has always been very ordinary, and it took him some time to remember, "God, you shouldn't be the little soldier from yesterday, right?"
Zhou Shu was shot in the thigh with an arrow yesterday, and she was the one who shot the arrow. "Damn, you're an assassin?!" Zhou Shu grabbed the girl's head and lifted her into the air, like an adult holding a balloon in his hand, the kind that was not filled with hydrogen gas.
The little girl kicked around in mid-air, kicking Zhou Shu's helmet and clattering.
Zhou Shu is generally willing to listen to women's explanations. So far, he's met more female fighters than men, and most of them are good guys, and the same is true for the one in front of him.
Thinking of this, he pulled out the arrow that was inserted into the girl's intestines, and the arrow with a barb pulled out part of the intestines, and the girl's stomach was already hopeless.
"Give you a chance to live, tell me who sent you to assassinate the Captain of the Eagle Man Legion. ”
"Assassination?" said the girl who was pressed to the ground, "I am from the royal city guards." ”
The girl did not commit suicide by poisoning herself like the other four guys, but burst into tears of pain and answered the question with a 'heroic spare' expression.
Zhou Shu wondered, "Then why are you shooting me? I'm not a bad person." ”
"You ......" The girl used the last strength of her body to lift up the next door and pointed to Zhou Shu's chest.
"Oh, I forgot...... his armor is Kurogi, and the logo of the forest country is engraved on it. "This armor was captured by the enemy, I was attacked just now, and the situation is urgent to take it out and put it on, sorry for misunderstanding you. ”
Zhou Shu said this and took off his helmet. When the little girl saw Zhou Shu, she immediately recognized him as the chief who passed by yesterday, the chief who was shot by herself and what happened.
The little girl was poked by Zhou Shu's arrow at this time and was about to hang up. She also suddenly felt that she had died well, and she actually attacked a senior officer for two days in a row, and she was not on duty today, so she shouldn't have taken the risk......
