Chapter 221: Black Spider Grass
Han Changsheng looked thoughtfully at Xie Zhao's frowning side face, and then tiptoed forward, avoiding the noisy voices and ears around him, and lowered his voice and asked:
Hey! Ah Zhao, you little troublemaker, don't think I didn't see it, you just ran to the royal platform and picked up something? ”
Xie Zhao saw that no one was paying attention to him, so he took out a small thing from his cuff, quickly spread out his palm and gave Han Changsheng a look, and then quietly withdrew the thing from his sleeve again.
Han Changsheng frowned, looked around very vigilantly, and then said angrily:
"Is it a cluster of arrows? Could it be the one that was shocked down by the arrow that was shot at the Emperor of Handyong?
- You're looking for death! If someone sees you picking this up, they might take it as an assassin with you! ”
Xie Zhao touched his ears and said helplessly:
"You can be louder so the whole world can hear that I picked up the cluster of arrows."
Han Changsheng was startled, and hurriedly choked back the second half of the reprimand that slipped to his mouth.
I heard Xie Zhaoyin shake his head with a smile and said:
"Don't panic, I paid attention to the movement around me when I picked up something, and I used your body to cover my movements.
Don't worry, at that angle, no one else will see my movements except you. ”
Han Chang was angry.
"Well, that's not going to work! What if? It's a terrible thing, why are you so bold? ”
Xie Zhao laughed and nodded with a somewhat conniving smile.
"Han Shaoxia, you're right, it's that I'm not cautious enough."
She shrugged her shoulders lightly and said, "Okay, I've done everything, you just don't say a word, your head is too big for you." ”
Han Changsheng looked at her expressionlessly, and muttered unhappily:
"Come on, you're fooling me as a child day by day. You, you have so many ideas that you can always go to heaven, but you can pay attention to your own life, and don't let yourself get rid of it one day. ”
He thought back to the cluster of arrows just now, and subconsciously asked:
"No, you have always done things with a 'good idea of what you have learned', but you will never do useless work.
Since you just went out of your way to pick up that cluster of arrows, there must be something suspicious about this thing, but what is the name of the eye? ”
Xie Zhao bowed his head and replied softly: "That arrow cluster, there is indeed a problem. ”
She frowned and turned her head to look in the direction of the imperial tent not far away, Ling Or had already gone in with the Emperor of Handyong's Heavenly Son Tuoba Hong for a while.
However, she had seen from a distance that the attendants and guards in the big tent had withdrawn from the imperial tent one after another, so she was not very worried.
It's just that he is just the Emperor of Handyong in the Guanyu Realm, if there is really any conflict or change, Ling Or can handle it.
So, she continued to say to Han Changsheng:
"I was in the grandstand king tent of the Yuwen Department, and I felt that this cluster of arrows shot from the mountains and forests was a little strange.
Most of the arrows are made of metal, and they are actually somewhat reflective in the daytime, especially on sunny days when the sun is shining. And the silver light refracted by metal in the sunlight has always been the most likely to attract the attention of the guards.
But Fang Cai's arrow was actually surrounded by a black color that was almost the color of grass ink.
Because of this, when the archers are hidden in the mountains and forests, they will hardly miss a trace.
I felt that this arrow cluster might be a little strange, so I wanted to pick it up and find out, only to find that this arrow cluster and arrow shaft are really a little exquisite. ”
Xie Zhao looked at Han Changsheng's inquiring gaze, leaned lightly into his ear, and said:
"The Assassin's arrows were smeared with a Western plant called 'Cobweed'. This spider grass only grows in the desert Gobi region west of the Imperial Dynasty.
If the plant is crushed and applied to the arrow, the metallic glow on the arrow can be hidden.
At the same time, the juice of cobweed contains trace amounts of toxins, which can cause paralysis and infection in the wound of the poisoned person. ”
Han Changsheng's eyes widened, and he also lowered his voice:
"You mean this assassination has something to do with the Western Frontier?"
He frowned, puzzled:
However, there was no direct border between the Western Xinjiang Dynasty and the Northern Dynasty Hanyong, and the two countries were separated by the Great Desert, and they were forced to be at peace for hundreds of years.
If the Emperor of Hanyong of the Northern Dynasty was assassinated for no reason, and the incident caused the two countries to fight each other, what good would this do to the Xuan Dynasty? ”
Xie Zhao shook his head slightly.
"There is no doubt that the black spider grass is indeed a grass and tree in the western frontier, but the person behind the assassination is not necessarily the court of the Imperial Dynasty."
Her eyes were dark, but her face was very calm.
"Every time people in the world mention a country, they will subconsciously think of the court of that country. But in fact, this is just a stereotype. ”
Xie Zhao shook his head with a smile.
She casually cast her gaze on the participating warriors who were being interrogated one by one in the noisy chaos on the field in the distance, and then muttered in a low voice:
"Perhaps, the people behind the scenes, are hoping that we think so."
Han Changsheng frowned and looked at her.
"So, is it a blame?"
Xie Zhao shook his head again.
"I don't want to assert anything without hard evidence.
What I said earlier is just some of my unfounded and thoughtless inferences and speculations. ”
Han Changsheng muttered: "However, all the inferences you made before turned out to be true in the end."
For example, when they were in Guangling City, the capital of Tianchen Kingdom, Xie Zhao boldly asserted that Shen Wei would not succeed in asking the "Golden Terrace" Lu Wounded Bird, because the Road Injured Bird would not respond to the battle - he still thought she was a fool at the time, but who knew that in the end, she actually became a prophecy!
This kind of similar thing, the three of them have known each other so far, and I don't know how many have happened!
It's just one or two times, but every time it can be expected by Xie Zhao, even if he feels like Han Changsheng in hindsight, he feels a little grotesque and weird!
Thinking of this, he looked at Xie Zhao with a shocked expression.
"Ah Zhao, don't say it! You're a bit of a wicked person when you're smart, haven't you ever learned astrology? ”
Xie Zhao looked at him helplessly.
"What do you mean? You idiot don't think I'm a god stick of Shentai Palace? ”
As soon as these words came out, Han Changsheng was not happy!
"What do you mean? What's going on? So how can it be called a magic stick?
The priests of Shentai Palace, all of them are immortals! ”
His brows furrowed tightly, and he tried to reason with Xie Zhao in fragments.
"Ah Zhao, how can you, a fledgling shrimp like you who have no awe, understand the peerless heroism of the masters of Shentai Palace and the means of stargazing?
It's okay if you talk nonsense in front of me and Ling He, outside, especially when we return to the territory of the Southern Dynasty later, you don't want to talk so lawlessly and without a taboo, be careful of the trouble coming out of your mouth! ”
Xie Zhao lifted his forehead and sighed.
She nodded instructively, "Yes, yes, yes, yes, ”
Hey, how do you say that?
Han Changsheng's blind worship of Shentai Palace is really a "Southern Dynasty person".
It was a kind of conviction that bordered on prostration, unwavering, and god-like conviction.
But in fact, although the stargazing divination and the art of asking the heavens in Shentai Palace are mysterious and mysterious, most of the priests and inner disciples can only get a first glimpse of the way and judge the general trend of the world on the whole.
As for predicting the future and avoiding risks, that is the real immortal art.
Historically, only those in the Shentai Palace who have practiced star picking techniques, large and small Sanskrit sounds, and divination to the peak of the realm can really step through the threshold to peek at one or two.
And for thousands of years, the only people in the Shentai Palace who can practice the above secret techniques to that level are the high priests of the past dynasties whose martial arts realm is above the realm of the immortals.
It's just that the temple of Tianchen in the Southern Dynasty is happy to see it come true because of its own political position.
Han Changsheng saw that Xie Zhao "softened" and admitted his mistakes, so he decided that the adults would not remember the villain's mistakes and forgive her for being open-mouthed this time.
He thought for a moment and asked, "So what do we do now?" ”
Xie Zhao smiled lightly.
"Wait."
Wait for Ling or come out.
Or they kill it.
