Chapter 608 The Archer
Chapter 608 The Archer
When Wang Lin heard this, he couldn't help but lower his head, his eyes reddened, his thick lips trembled slightly, and his knees slowly fell.
At this moment, he was suddenly hit by a strong force and staggered a step. He heard a voice cursing, "Go away, don't get in the way here."
Lin Yuzan hurriedly put his daughter down, quickly took out the medicine bottle that Cui Zhiyao had just given him from his arms, poured out the only pill and stuffed it into Duke Chen's mouth.
Wang Cheng also ran over from the other side, quickly felt Duke Chen's pulse, and said, "There is no poison on the arrow."
Then, he checked the location where Duke Chen was shot, and heaved a sigh of relief, saying, "General Chen, time is running out, and we should not delay any longer. Let the court doctor stop Duke Chen's bleeding and send him to the palace as soon as possible. The emperor has the imperial physician here, and he will definitely be able to save Duke Chen. The life-extending medicine my brother-in-law gave Duke Chen just now can keep him safe for several years."
Duke of Chen:......
Chen family: ...
The sadness that surged like a tide was instantly replaced by anxious tension.
Xiao Yining watched as General Chen quickly regained his composure, ordered his men to carry Duke Chen away in an orderly manner, and then bowed deeply to them before quickly leaving.
She pointed to the location of her heart and asked, "Uncle, the arrow shot here, can it still be saved?"
Wang Cheng lowered his eyes to glance at her and explained quietly, "The arrow missed the target. Duke Chen's heart is different from that of ordinary people. It is located on the right side. Few people know about this, but Duke Chen has been a soldier all his life and his life has been on the line dozens of times. You only need to use your brain to guess the answer."
"Now that Duke Chen has saved your second uncle's life, and your father has saved General Chen's life, we won't be too controlled by others."
After saying that, he glanced at Wang Lin with disdain, took his little niece's hand and returned to her mother.
By then, the Iron Eagle Guards had tied up all the thieves together, and the veils covering their faces were removed, revealing their alien faces.
Everyone was shocked when they saw this.
"It's actually a Hu person."
"It seems that he followed the two generals and sneaked into Yanjing."
"They must be dissatisfied with the letter of surrender and want to go to war with our dynasty."
"It's hard to say, maybe it's for revenge."
"..."
All kinds of speculations were heard, and little Yining listened on the side. She looked up at the male protagonist who was talking to the Iron Eagle Guard not far away, and then looked up at her father and uncle with some suspicion.
She always felt that the revenge she had speculated was directed at them. After all, what did they do in Halahelin that they had hidden from their families? She only heard her father say "there is strife in the royal court" from her great uncle.
After the chaos, Wang and Lin tidied up their messy clothes and pretended nothing had happened again. When they noticed the kid's gaze, they lowered their heads and looked back at the same time.
Lin Yuzan took the lead and asked in a gentle voice: "Sister Qing, what are you looking at?"
The kid withdrew his gaze and turned back to the bound assassins, muttering, "Dad, they haven't caught the archer yet!"
Lin Yuzan smiled upon hearing this, bent down and picked up her daughter, whispered mysteriously in her ear: "That man can't be caught, Qingjie, guess why?"
Xiao Yining: ←_←, do you want me to guess?
At this moment, the assassin's voice exploded in her ears again.
One of the burly young men was seen struggling with the ropes on his body, trying to break free, and rushing towards the male protagonist, as if he wanted to eat him alive.
He roared with hatred on his face: "Sheng Jingzhan, you dog of Wutu, you killed my Ada, I will definitely eat your flesh and blood alive, and then take off your head and hang it in front of Ada's tomb, to atone for his death forever."
The roar echoed in the surroundings, and every word was wrapped in strong hatred and sorrow. Even the air around it froze, and the originally noisy environment fell into a brief silence.
The amount of information contained in these words was so great that everyone present looked sideways at the gloomy-faced King Yu.
Sheng Jingzhan's eyes were sharp, and murderous intent was already permeating in his eyes, but he still had that calm smile on his face, and said to the Iron Eagle Guard beside him: "Marquis Xuanping, you must interrogate these barbarians and ask who is the mastermind behind them. Fortunately, I have a reputation of being useless. Otherwise, facing such unwarranted slander, I am afraid I will be unable to defend myself, and I will also arouse the suspicion of my brother for no reason."
The Iron Eagle Guard named Marquis Xuanping nodded slightly, took a step forward, and instantly removed the jaw of the clamoring assassin, leaving him with only a humming sound.
Then he waved his hand, and the assassins who were shouting in nonsense were taken away one after another.
Although no one understood what was being said, they could tell that the target of the curse was King Yu, while the original victim, Wang Lin, was forgotten by them.
Seeing this, Lin Yuzan's eyes flashed with pride, and he couldn't help but whisper to his old rival: "Shu Zhi needs to learn more about how to play the long game and catch the big fish."
Wang Cheng: →_→
Little Yining's ears twitched slightly, and he asked in a low voice with a look of doubt on his face, "Dad, did you kill Ada?"
Wang Lin: ..., I forgot, there is also a little kid.
As soon as the little girl finished speaking, two big hands quickly covered her mouth and warned her in unison: "Don't talk nonsense."
Wang Lin glanced at the three of them and complained, "Mom, my eldest brother and his husband are bullying Sister Qing."
Wang Lin: ..., I forgot again, there is also a hammer.
Li Anhe and Wan Niang had already heard the sound, turned around, and shot murderous glances at him. The two old men let out suppressed hisses at the same time.
The next moment, the little kid was in his mother's arms. Looking at the two old men with painful faces, he said in his heart, "Serves you right." Then he turned around and continued to eat the melon in the best position.
At this time, the group of assassins had been pulled to the garden archway. Everyone was whispering and preparing to go home to calm down and digest the gossip of the day.
However, what was unexpected was that the assassins were stopped at the archway.
It turned out that Marquis Wu'an had rushed to Duke Chen's mansion with the Emperor's urgent order to catch the thief.
When the two marquises met, there was a flash of surprise in their eyes, which disappeared in a flash, and then they greeted each other as usual.
Wu'an Marquis, who was always known for his seriousness, was rarely funny: "I didn't expect that I would be a step too late after rushing here. Song Marquis has captured all the Hu people, leaving me with no place to use my skills."
"It's just a coincidence." Marquis Xuanping replied in a cold tone.
"I happened to be searching nearby with my men, and I found some strange noises in Duke Chen's mansion, so I broke in. Since you are here, I will hand over these assassins to you. There is still one person who has escaped, and my subordinates are chasing him."
Marquis Wu'an nodded solemnly, took over the group of assassins, and watched the Iron Eagle Guards leave.
When the little girl saw this scene, she knew that the two marquises must have a good relationship. After all, even the prince Wu couldn't make Marquis Wu'an smile. She thought of what she had just said, turned around quickly, and asked, "Dad, we've changed people. Can we still catch the archer?"
Lin Yuzan was still rubbing the soft flesh that had just been pinched. When he heard the question, he said unhappily, "Dad is not a constable, how would he know!"
Xiao Yining: (*  ̄︿ ̄)
The little kid pouted, turned around, and cast his gaze towards Marquis Wu'an, who was watching the guests leave. He suddenly raised his hand and shouted, "Marquis Wu'an, I saw the archer running away!"
The guests who had not yet left stopped and looked at the little kid in surprise.
Lin Yuzan was startled and quickly stopped him: "Qing Jie'er, that person is wearing a mask and we can't see what he looks like. Don't make trouble and disrupt the investigation."
However, the kid still held up his hands stubbornly, as if he hadn't heard anything.
Marquis Wu'an also turned around, stared at the little kid, and said slowly, "Princess Le'an, could you please tell me what that person looks like?"
Then, everyone heard the little boy speak seriously: "That man is very skilled in martial arts, and he looks a little uglier than my second uncle."
Everyone:......
Wang Lin, who had already given up on hiding his true feelings:
Marquis Wu'an glanced at Wang Lin's face, his eyes twitched slightly, and he nodded in response: "Thank you for telling me, Princess. When I catch the thief, I will ask the emperor for credit for you."
Xiao Yining withdrew his hand with satisfaction, turned back triumphantly, and looked at the two old men behind him, and saw surprise in their eyes.
When Wang and Lin saw the little kid's cocky look, they looked at each other with helplessness and doting in their eyes, probably because the little kid had guessed the answer to Lin Yuzan's question just now.
In the city of Yanjing, the young generation who can use a giant bow to fire three arrows in a row and hit the target continuously, besides Prince Wu, is only one person - Song Chengyou, who has been working hard in the Iron Eagle Guard since he was a child.
To be fair, Song Chengyou's appearance is indeed not as attractive as the normal Wang Lin.
Wang Lin: But if that person hears what the kid said, he will probably be so angry that he will fume.
Xiao Yining: ( ̄y▽, ̄)╭, I am really the smartest one!
