The busy day made Wang Xian have no time to experience the changes in the environment, and it was not until he left the capital and came to the suburbs that he suddenly found that it was already the middle of spring.

The blue sky is as clear as washing, the warm sunshine temporarily dispels the smoke and rain in the south of the Yangtze River, the flowers on the roadside are blooming, the green willows caress the turquoise water, there are waterfowl playing on the river, there are fishermen casting nets, and the distant mountains are like daisies, **** such as wine, which makes people so drunk.

Lingxiao is like a little bird that has escaped from the cage, riding a jujube red horse, galloping back and forth in the mountains, from time to time there are bursts of crisp laughter, the cheerful laughter is very infectious, and it makes the rigid brocade guards also show a hint of smile.

"That's Sun Zhenren's granddaughter, right?" Zhang Fu retracted his gaze and said.

"Yes." Wang Xian nodded and said, "It's also Xiaguan's sister." ”

"I heard that Sun Zhenren's grandson is also by your side?" Zhang Fudao.

"Yes." Wang Xian nodded.

"Such a brother and sister with a transcendent status are willing to follow you, it seems that you are indeed extraordinary." Zhang Fudao.

"Grandpa, don't put a high hat on the lower officials," Wang Xian smiled bitterly: "If you have something to say, just say it, right?" ”

"Hehe, okay," Zhang Fu smiled, stopped talking nonsense with him, and said in a deep voice: "Let me ask you, what do you think of this case?" ”

"Grandpa seems to have asked this question the day before yesterday." Wang Xian touched his nose and said.

"Last time I asked you what you were going to do, this time I asked you ......" Zhang Fupao paused: "What do you think of the suspect?" As he spoke, he waved his hand, blocked Wang Xian's perfunctory words and said, "My father might as well throw bricks and lead the way, and talk about my views first." ”

"The lower officials are listening." Wang Xiandao.

"Bengong went back to think about this case," Zhang Fu said: "The assassin who stole it, or the main messenger behind the scenes, must be someone who is very familiar with the king of Han, knows that the king of Han is going to Xiaoling to investigate, knows that the king of Han has never ridden a horse instead of riding a car, and knows the search strategies and habits of the guards of the king of Han. ”

"Not bad." Wang Xian nodded in agreement.

"Actually, there is another one, which is archery." Zhang Fu added: "According to their descriptions, I feel that there are not many people in the world who can shoot this arrow. ”

"Indeed, although it is condescending, the distance of two hundred zhang is too far," Wang Xian said: "Xiaguan is young and ignorant, anyway, he has never seen this kind of divine shooting." ”

"Not only must you have good archery skills, but you also have to be extraordinary." Zhang Fu fell into deep thought as he spoke, as if he was thinking about how many people he knew or heard of could do this......

Ten miles east of the Xuanwu Gate, there is the Purple Mountain, unconsciously, Zhang Fu and Wang Xian and others came to the other party where the King of Han was assassinated, but seeing the ups and downs of the surrounding mountains, the scenery is beautiful and boundless, and it is so close to the capital, it is really unthinkable that the assassin would choose to attack here.

"Are you sure King Han was assassinated here?" Wang Xian asked Zhang Longdao, the commander of the right guard of Tiance who came with him.

"Yes." Zhang Long was the general in charge of the security of the Han King that day, and although the assassin's skills were incredible, it was not a reason for him to be exempted from responsibility. In fact, as soon as he returned to the palace, he ate eighty military sticks, and if it weren't for the Han king's compassion for his subordinates, he wouldn't even be able to save his life. This time, the British Duke came to investigate the scene, and although he was still recuperating from his injuries on the couch, he still gritted his teeth and followed. As for the eighty military sticks, as long as they didn't intend to beat them to death, for these men cast in copper and iron, it was just a bit of flesh and skin, and the only indecent thing was that he was lying on horseback at the moment...... The ass was smashed and I couldn't sit in the saddle. After carefully identifying it, Zhang Long nodded affirmatively: "This is this place, and you can still see the blood stains of the prince on the ground." ”

Wang Xian turned over and dismounted, and sure enough, he saw scattered blood stains on the trampled muddy turf.

"Where did the Assassins shoot their arrows?"

Zhang Long pointed to a hill to the north and said, "On that hill, the assassins hid under the rocks, avoiding our previous search. We have a rule that we should search the area along the way a moment before the prince arrives, and send people to guard the direction that can threaten the prince. At that time, an experienced team of 100 men under my command had already searched the mountain, and found no trace of the Assassins. Moreover, the location of the mountain was a bit far away, and considering that it was outside the range of the bow and crossbow, no more people were stationed after the search. He said with a look of annoyance, "Who would have thought that the assassin who should have been could really shoot from there." ”

"I'll go up and have a look." Wang Xian was about to say, 'I'll go with my grandfather', but when he saw a big bow and a pot of arrows hanging on the back of the British prince's entourage, he changed his words and said, "Put a target and stand here." ”

From the place where Wang Xian stood to the place where the assassins shot their arrows, the straight-line distance was about two hundred zhang, which was far beyond the range of bows and arrows. And judging from the arrows in the Han king, they are also bows and arrows rather than crossbow arrows.

After the tea, the British public government on the big rock on the top of the mountain where the assassin was standing, Wang Xian and others also set up a target at the place where the king of Han was assassinated, and then hurriedly found a cover to hide...... Just kidding, at such a distance, how can there be an accurate head, and who knows where this arrow will go?

Hiding behind a rock, Wang Xian watched as the British Duke took the big bow, tentatively pulled it a few times, and when he was in a good state, he took a long arrow, put the arrow on the bow, and the tail of the arrow buckled on the bowstring. Suddenly there was silence, people watched from afar on the mountain of the British male buckle the bow open, a big bow was steadily pulled like a full moon, and finally aimed off the string, the three fingers of the right hand of the string quickly opened, shooting out the domineering arrow, only to see that the long arrow was like a black lightning, in the blink of an eye from the top of the mountain roared, in front of the eyes of everyone in the wooden target!

"Good!" The applause roared, and everyone couldn't help but admire the five-body throwing to the ground, the British Gong's archery skills are really amazing! Look at the English prince standing on the mountain with a bow and arrows in hand, just like the gods descended from heaven to earth.

When the crowd got up from their shelters, the English man on the top of the hill shot a second arrow, which was much faster than the first arrow, which had been brewing for a long time. Then I saw that the arrow was like a meteor, flying down, passing over from the top of the wooden target, nailing it to the mountain rock next to the road, only half a foot away from a brocade guard who had just stood up, and the brocade guard was frightened and white-faced......

The applause stopped abruptly, and everyone didn't expect that the god of war in their minds would miss the target...... However, all the people present were practitioners, and they knew that if they were replaced, it would be impossible to hit at this distance. In fact, even the most elite Jinyi Guard only requires a stone bow to be fired and hit within a hundred steps, and the range of such a hundred zhang is no longer something ordinary people can imagine.

"Grandpa is good at archery!" Seeing Zhang Fu coming down from the mountain, Wang Xian hurriedly greeted him and praised: "I really didn't expect that I could hit a hundred zhang before!" ”

"What's so unexpected," Zhang Fu glanced at him lightly and said, "Didn't the assassin do it?" ”

"Seeing is believing, but hearing is false." Wang Xian pretended not to understand Zhang Fu's words, and said with a smile: "I don't know what my grandfather has learned after shooting those two arrows?" ”

"First, I'm not as good as that assassin," Zhang Fu said frankly, "Although I can barely shoot, I need to prepare for too long, and if I have to prepare for such a long time that time, I will definitely be seen by countless pairs of eyes before I shoot that arrow." ”

Wang Xian nodded, agreed with Zhang Fu's words, and listened to him continue: "After the first arrow was shot, my whole person's spirit and spirit reached the peak state, and only then did the second arrow try to fire quickly, but the result did not create a miracle, and sure enough, it still missed." The fact that the assassin can shoot quickly shows that our gap is all-round, from archery to strength, I am not as good as him. ”

"Grandpa is too modest." Wang Xian said with a smile.

"No, I'm not being humble with you." Zhang Fu said lightly: "There will be no more than five people in the world who are stronger than Bengong's archery skills......"

"In other words, the scope of the assassins can be narrowed down to five people?" Wang Xian said in surprise.

"Three people, to be exact." Zhang Fu looked at Wang Xian, since he was the commander of the Beizhen Fusi, there were few secrets in the world to him, so he finally broke the news: "Because among the five people, one is the king of Han, and the other is the shadow of the emperor who never leaves the emperor." ”

"......" Wang Xian nodded, and sure enough, he didn't ask, King Han's archery skills were higher than Zhang Fu's, and he was not surprised at all. As Zhang Fu thought, after becoming the Fusi of Shangbei Town, Wang Xian learned a lot of secrets and knew a lot of truths that had been distorted, such as how fierce the King of Han was in the Battle of Jingjing, just like Zhao Zilong, who was full of guts! It is not uncommon for this kind of fierce brother to shoot a good arrow.

As for the latter, Wang Xian also understands that Yongle, as the emperor, is a master who kills too much, so he naturally values his safety as much as Mount Tai, in addition to the guards with knives on the bright side, there are also shadow guards who are secret, those people are even very mysterious, but they are strong in martial arts, and they will not hesitate to sacrifice their lives to protect Zhu Di.

To put it bluntly, these so-called shadow guards are the masters that Yongle secretly found from the army and the people, and after getting their absolute loyalty, he let them become his shadows. Most of the time, the shadows are hidden in the dark, and only when the emperor's safety is threatened, they will stand up without hesitation and sacrifice themselves in exchange for the emperor's escape.

In fact, the shadows may not encounter a chance once in their lives that they need to express themselves, but once they do, it will be a shocking case of assassinating the emperor, which requires them not only to have courage and determination, but also to have extraordinary martial arts! So listening to the British public, Wang Xian was not surprised, but asked with a smile:

"So, there are only three suspects left?"

"So to speak." Zhang Fu nodded.
