Chapter 411 Three Arrows
Since then, Huang Chen's mother has been in a state of panic all day long, fearing that the secret will be leaked.
She also had the intention to kill, but only the wife of Rongyang Marquis.
Attempted murder.
When she took the jade mine to discuss cooperation with Shen He's mother, she did not expect that someone would kill all the people in Rongyang Marquis's mansion overnight.
She didn't know who killed them, and her participation was very small.
As for this trip to Beijing, the reason was very simple, she knew the art of disguise.
The Queen Mother needed her to use the art of disguise after the envoys of Nanzhao Kingdom arrived in Kyoto, but she didn't know why and who she used it on.
Imperial study.
The emperor looked at the family file handed over by Shen Li and was silent for a long time.
The Queen Mother's secret!
Ha!
The emperor had no interest in this secret, but felt disgusted. He pinched his eyebrows and said, "She didn't mention Xu Feng."
When Shen Li was reading the family file, his mind was full of the scene of the interrogation, and he always felt that something was wrong.
When the emperor asked this, his thoughts were interrupted. He was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Xu Feng?"
The emperor sighed and leaned back in his chair.
"She didn't mention Xu Feng from beginning to end, but don't forget why she entered the palace last time, because she saw Xu Feng in Kyoto.
We have never known why seeing Xu Feng was worth her entering the palace once, but this time she didn't mention this matter in her confession, which is enough to show that Xu Feng's weight is more important than what she said."
"I interrogated Xu Feng's matter, and she only said that Xu Feng was an old subordinate of the former Rongyang Marquis, and she was afraid of being retaliated against when she saw Xu Feng, so she was afraid.
The torture instruments were put on her during the interrogation."
Speaking of this, Shen Li was immediately annoyed.
I felt something was wrong!
He was overwhelmed.
Huang Chen's mother confessed too quickly, and she confessed everything when she could hardly bear the torture instruments, so that he thought Huang Chen's mother was telling the truth about Xu Feng.
After all, Xu Feng was not an old subordinate of Rongyang Marquis, but an old subordinate of Zhou's army.
He thought at that time that she didn't even know Xu Feng's identity, so she must really not know.
Unexpectedly, Huang Chen's mother used all the real confessions to cover up the only false confession.
"I was careless."
Looking at Shen Li's face, the emperor smiled: "She even confessed the secret between her and the queen mother. It is normal for you to be misled by her and believe her confession.
This is more enough to illustrate the importance of Xu Feng.
Moreover, even if you go back to torture her, she will definitely not confess.
What she didn't say at that time, she would never say even if she died. Don't waste your energy. It's enough to gain so much."
As he said, the emperor took a sip of tea, "The queen mother fell ill again. I'm afraid it's really not optimistic this time."
Although Shen Li was annoyed about Xu Feng, he also knew in his heart that such a confession could not be forced out even by words and deeds.
What Huang Chen's mother wanted to say was all planned out by her.
Maybe, she has been thinking about it for many years and preparing for it in advance for many years.
But. Just let it go?
Is there no breakthrough?
Shen Li did not give up.
The emperor glanced at Shen Li, "Huang Chen's mother was arrested, and the queen mother was seriously ill. Both of these are heavy blows to the prince's party.
The Nanzhao Kingdom's envoys will arrive soon. The prince's party may not be desperate and do something crazy.
You should be more alert."
The words came true.
The prince's party was indeed desperate.
After experiencing a night of chaos, the first thing the prince said when he saw Huang Qihuan was: Since the shadow has captured our people, let's capture Shen Li's people.
As soon as Shen Li entered the palace, the people sent by the prince targeted Zhou Qing.
From Zhou's house to Gulou Street, you have to pass through a sparsely populated alley in the middle.
One wall of this alley is the courtyard wall of Rongyang Marquis's Mansion, and the other wall is the courtyard wall of the Minister of Rites.
The prince was well prepared and had arranged enough manpower.
He didn't intend to exchange Zhou Qing for Huang Chen's mother. When Su Ke was captured, he didn't use this method to exchange people.
It was just that the prince's party was defeated one after another, and he urgently needed to dampen Shen Li's spirit.
He was also furious and wanted to vent his anger.
As soon as Zhou Qing's carriage passed through the alley, he was surrounded by dozens of men in black who jumped out from the walls on both sides.
In an instant, swords clashed and blood gushed out.
The carriage stopped suddenly, the horse raised its hooves and neighed, and Zhou Qing suddenly flashed in the carriage, and his head hit the wall directly.
Ignoring the pain, she lifted the curtain and saw the bloody and tragic fight.
Since Zhou Qing entered the capital, in order to guard against the despicable means of the prince's party, Shen Li has always assigned Zhou Qing with secret guards to protect him.
As soon as the prince's party appeared, those secret guards immediately took action.
The driver was skilled in martial arts, but in order to protect Zhou Qing, he did not dare to leave the carriage without permission.
He wanted to find an opportunity to drive the carriage out of the alley.
Either retreat to Zhou's house, or run forward directly to the street.
However, the enemy surrounded them from front and back, and it was difficult to find an opportunity for a while.
The street fighting was fierce and stalemate. The number of people sent by the prince's party was three times that of the dark guards. The crushing number of people directly led to the situation of one-sidedness in the battle.
Just when the dark guard was about to call for help from his companions through the shadow-specific whistle, a black shadow flew over his head,
followed by three sharp arrows shot straight out.
With a whistling sound that pierced the air.
The enemy, who was still fighting fiercely with the dark guards at close range, was shot and fell to the ground.
The shadow appeared too suddenly. No one, whether Zhou Qing or the princelings, reacted until someone fell to the ground and the fighting stopped.
However, the shadow was like a flash of lightning in the dark night. It jumped from one side of the wall to the opposite wall at a ghostly speed. During the leap, three more sharp arrows were shot out.
This time everyone saw it clearly.
He was dressed in black, with a black cloth covering his face. His eyes were ferocious and there seemed to be a scar at the corner of his eyes.
He was sturdy and held a strong bow in his hand. No, to be precise, it should be a crossbow.
There were white feathered arrows in the quiver behind him. Every time he shot, he shot three arrows at once.
The three arrows shot out were not biased and accurately penetrated the opponent's throat.
But Zhou Qing's secret guards and the killers were in a messy position and close to each other. This man could control the archery so exquisitely.
Those flying arrows seemed to have eyes. They brushed the edge of the secret guards' clothes and accurately pounced on the enemy.
Someone was hit by an arrow again, and the opponent immediately changed the battle strategy. While trying to attack Zhou Qing, they sent four people to deal with this person.
". I spent half a night thinking about it yesterday, but I still couldn't figure it out. What kind of bow and arrow can shoot three arrows in different directions in the book "Zhou Luobu Bing" and ensure that after these three arrows are shot, they are all aimed at the enemy and will not accidentally hurt our own people?"
Zhou Ping raised his little face and looked at Su Heng with a confused look.
Su Heng folded his hands behind his head and walked casually beside Zhou Ping. His voice was a little lazy, "Shoot at the enemy."
Zhou Ping rolled his eyes and said with some dissatisfaction: "Of course I know to shoot at the enemy, but what if it is a melee between the enemy and us? Then this archery technique can't be used at this time?
Have you read the handwritten copy of "Zhou Luobu Bing" I gave you?"
As the two were talking, they suddenly heard the sound of fighting not far away.
