In fact, there were only two rounds of feather arrows, and after the carriage ran away desperately, the density of the arrow rain gradually decreased.

This is not difficult for Xu Changan to understand.

Because Xu Changan was shot by the stray arrow at the first time, the front was still dim, and then the lights were lit on the side of the carriage, and he could know that the target of the feather arrow should not be himself.

This shows that the other party did not rush over directly on a horse and carrying a knife, but quietly lurked near the convoy with a bow and attacked in the past.

Since it is a sneak attack, the success rate of walking is much higher than that of driving a horse, because even if the carriage and horse stop everyone sleeping, it is impossible for all of them to sleep like dead pigs, and even a group of people running over on horseback can't be found, just as Xu Changan thought in the prison of the Tingwei Mansion in Yingdu City, then it is not sleeping dead, it is really dead.

Naturally, walking could not catch up with these carriages, and the choice to stop after releasing the arrows seemed to be a clear choice.

What Xu Changan didn't understand was why those people didn't just chase after them on horseback, but chose to sneak attack?

All these doubts pointed to the man behind him.

And why is it that the strangest person himself is so familiar with that person's voice?

Xu Changan suddenly thought of a passage in front of the night bridge.

The student had met Mr. Jiu, and Mr. Ju An asked the student to convey the dean's meaning. ’

It was this sentence, and it was precisely because of the meaning to be conveyed in these words that Yang Hejiu parted from everyone in front of the bridge and turned back.

Xu Changan suddenly realized, and suddenly remembered that this was the team of the Dachang Dynasty to participate in the test of entering the building?

When it came to these convoys, they had just separated from Xu Changan and his party not long ago, and they had brief contact, and when they first started to go out of Sifang City to receive this task, Xu Changan even felt very proud in his heart, after all, he was also working for the imperial court.

And if the man's voice felt familiar, it could only be from one of the convoys.

Although it was said that the dean asked Yang Hejiu to go to Shu Lou to protect these students who participated in the test, but from the time they met, they had only walked together on the mountain for a few days, and they thought that no one dared to do anything to the students of the Dachang Dynasty along the way, so they only met with them at the foot of Taiyin Mountain.

In fact, there was no danger along the way.

In this world, there are four great powers, Eastern Tang and Western Chu, and South Vietnam and North Chang.

South Vietnam is afraid of water, although it is strong and has the Sword Saint to guard, it is also more difficult to send troops, so it is difficult to make other countries have any threats, it is impossible to rely on the Sword Saint's sword to cross the water to sweep the countries, the top combat power is not used in this way.

The state of Chu and the state of Qi have collided for many years and have never launched a national war, and they also pose no threat to other countries, so the two major powers that can make other countries feel the most threatening are none other than the Tang State and the Dachang Dynasty.

Chang'an City is still guarded by Qinglian, and the world is afraid of tigers but does not dare to make too many times, but the Dachang Dynasty is missing Dean He.

When faced with threats, humans usually have two common thoughts, fear or resistance.

It's hard to guess how the rest of the countries that feel threatened will weigh between the two, and it will take an unusually long-term view to see.

And with the holding of the entrance test, everyone seemed to have begun to focus on speculating about Wangshulou's next moves, so it was impossible to send someone to sneak in, and naturally it would not be someone from other countries.

Neither Yang Hejiu nor Xu Changan guessed that the real danger was not on that road, but in their own territory.

If you ask a single country, who would dare to do anything to them? I'm afraid it's only their own people.

The person behind him also felt a little familiar when he heard Xu Changan's question.

The man in the carriage who couldn't see his five fingers when he stretched out his hand and couldn't see what the other party looked like opened his mouth and replied: "My name is Cui Xianggong, have you met with my brother Tai on the entrance test?"

Xu Changan couldn't help but pat his thigh, and said firmly: "It's you." ”

Cui Xianggong smiled slightly, but he never thought that Xu Changan's words had not been finished.

"The murderous Lao Tzu was almost killed by an arrow!"

......

Xu Changan resisted the urge to tear him up, because this person was already a cultivator before he opened the mountain, so he didn't tear him up because he couldn't beat him...

After confirming that those people did not catch up, Xu Changan took the water bag and took a sip of water again, and then thought about these things carefully.

The first thing to think about is why did you come across these people?

You must know that when they crossed the bridge and were about to climb the mountain, these people had already turned around and started to descend the mountain, and in the later journey, Xu Changan and Lin Ying rode a horse together, and they did not travel fast, and they were delayed a lot of time on the road.

Xu Changan looked at the carriage casually, and only then did he understand that the speed of the war horse and the carriage could not be compared?

You must know that these people are all children of official families, and most of them can't even practice, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are powerless, so it is naturally impossible for people to ride a horse to withstand the wind and rain like themselves.

The time is naturally staggered, so it doesn't seem that there are too many doubts.

Without waiting for Xu Chang'an to ask, Cui Xianggong asked a little puzzled, "Why did you pass by here?"

Xu Changan's face was gloomy, and he said angrily: "Why am I here?

Cui Xianggong listened to the fact that the young man was implicated and looked really unhappy, smiled bitterly and replied with a tentative meaning: "We are repairing here, it should be considered normal, right?"

Xu Changan licked his lips, wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and then immediately brandished the black sword and said angrily: "You are repairing here normally! Hehe, this means that I am not normal? Okay! Okay! Blame me!"

The other party was a little speechless, a teenager rushing late at night is called normal? But when I think about it, it is indeed my own people who have affected the other party, and they just want to walk a way. Then there was no further refutation.

In fact, Xu Changan also knew that he was unlucky to hit them, and if he encountered an accident in front of him, according to the understanding of normal people, he would naturally drive to the rear quickly, and he would not stay in place and be a target.

However, it is naturally impossible for this young man to admit to the other party that he has a problem, you must know that he was almost shot with an arrow while walking, and even fell into such a dangerous situation, and finally blamed himself for this?

Whoever it is, will feel aggrieved.

And that arrow is not shot elsewhere, the position of the center of the eyebrows is a vital point that can kill people if you touch it, and it is really strange to say that the arrow can be shot accurately to your head, or maybe it is just aimed at the center of the eyebrows.

Having said that the past is still a sentence at all, why rush at night!

Because I am afraid of heat during the day... It's very simple, how can they be comfortable sitting in a carriage in the sun?

Seeing that the other party did not refute the remarks, thinking about whether the students of the Spirit Academy did not like to fight with others, Xu Changan did not say anything more.

There were many doubts in the battle just now, and the biggest doubt was that he answered the question that he was doubtful about at the beginning.

Xu Changan knew that they didn't catch up because the underground runners couldn't catch up with the horses, so why didn't they chase on horseback and choose to sneak attack and set up an ambush?

He asked, "Why did they kill you?"

Cui Xianggong's face was solemn, he shook his head slightly, and replied: "Everything is up to Your Majesty, and you can't guess without permission." ”

Xu Changan said angrily: "When is this happening? Your Majesty can fly over to save you?" suddenly reacted to something, and said in shock: "You mean that the emperor is going to kill you?"

Cui Xianggong thought for a moment and replied: "This matter should not be so simple. ”

Xu Changan thought carefully for a moment, and became very agreeable with the other party's words, it seemed like it was just a simple assassination, but this matter was indeed not simple.

After Lin Ying and Lin Pinggui's explanations, Xu Changan probably already knew what the situation was like in the capital now, and also knew why His Majesty the Emperor would send these people to Wangshu Tower to participate in the entrance test.

If these people were assassinated not far from the border, and the target of the assassination came from the imperial court, it would definitely be pointed at His Majesty the Emperor.

Do something that everyone can guess who did it, unless His Majesty the Emperor is a fool, and it is more clear why those people don't chase after them, but stop after two rounds of arrows.

The reason is that the purpose is not to kill them all, horses are not the same as bows and arrows, bows and arrows in the imperial court, no matter which department there will be some surplus every year, even if you check in the end, you can't find out who is missing a few bows, dozens of feather arrows or something.

Horses are completely different, horses need to eat and pull, as long as it is related to eating, follow the source to find always find some clues.

It is also easier to leave evidence.

But if someone framed His Majesty the Emperor, who would have the audacity to frame the Emperor?

As Cui Xianggong said, this matter is really hard to guess, and it is up to His Majesty the Emperor to decide when he arrives in the capital.

However, Xu Changan did not relax his vigilance, he and Cui Xianggong both knew that since this matter was not simple, this assassination would naturally not be so simple.
