The opponent still refused to shoot the arrow.

Although the archer could not be seen, Fan Xiaodao felt unprecedented pressure. With his keen sense, he had already sensed that the two of them had been locked by the archer. As long as they showed a slight flaw, a fatal blow would be waiting for them.

This feeling of life and death was not pleasant, not to mention that he had no power to fight back.

Suddenly, Fan Xiaodao seemed to understand the reason.

The two arrows shot at the two men and the one that shattered the main entrance killed six guards, the shopkeeper, and the middle-aged eunuch. Seven arrows were lost. If we look at the twelve arrows in a quiver, he

There was only one arrow left in his hand.

An archer of his level can send and receive according to his heart, and there is only one target. He must be sure to kill with one hit, and he will not bring extra arrows. Therefore, the opponent has been waiting, and it cannot be like this forever.

Spend it.

Especially when prey is in danger, they will always have an instinct to think that the place they are in is extremely dangerous, and will inevitably look for opportunities to escape. When they move, it is the moment when the two of them are killed.

There was no way to continue the stalemate, so Fan Xiaodao decided to give it a try.

He hid behind the wall and shouted: "I know you only have one arrow in your body. You want to kill the prince, but you are not sure. How about we make a bet. I will catch your last arrow. If you can kill me, the prince's life will be saved."

I'll leave it to you. If you're lucky enough to catch this arrow, you won't have a chance tonight. How about we let you go?"

No reply.

Fan Xiaodao held the knife in his hand and shouted: "There is no point in procrastinating like this. The long-term pain is not as good as the short-term pain. Life and death are at stake here. Finish the attack quickly and get some sleep. Besides, this arrow

A little talk is worth a hundred stones. If you keep inducing it but not doing it, it will be bad for your arms for a long time, and you will easily get arthritis."

The other party still didn't respond.

"If you don't answer, I'll take it as your acquiescence. I'm coming out! Three... two..."

Before he could say anything, he rushed towards the copper vat in the center of the courtyard.

They understand the strength of the archers. They can even punch through large holes in wooden doors and earthen walls. This physical penetration ability is comparable to that of a black cutter. Only by hiding behind a copper vat can they have a greater chance.

Whoosh!

The sound of bowstrings came.

The long arrow shot through the air, but did not hit Fan Xiaodao, who was running towards the water tank. With a sharp whistling sound, it shot towards Zhu Yan's hiding place behind the south wall. The assassin had already locked onto the two people behind the south wall.

But he couldn't tell which one was the prince. When Fan Xiaodao rushed out, he instantly locked the position of the other person.

As a professional assassin, he has taken on countless missions and has never failed. Most of them are shot into the soul with one arrow. They come like a ghost and go like a breeze. He has never been like this today, after his identity is exposed, he is still waiting for an opportunity.

Huangtian paid off, and the arrow was finally shot.

He breathed a sigh of relief.

Just as he was about to draw back his bow, he suddenly realized something was wrong. The man who ran over before was the prince of the Ming Dynasty. The man behind the wall...

boom!

Under the south wall, dust was flying.

Fan Xiaodao held the scabbard in his hand and walked out unsteadily. The opponent used all his strength for the arrow just now. Although part of it was removed when it shot through the wall, it was still powerful. Fan Xiaodao almost exhausted all his internal strength.

He took the fatal blow with his scabbard.

His face was pale, but his eyes were extremely determined, and he looked in the direction where the archer was standing.

"You got Fooled!"

The assassin shot the last arrow. When he knew there was no chance, he didn't hesitate at all, let alone stop. His eyes stayed on Fan Xiaodao for a moment, and disappeared into the night without saying a word.

The other person was of medium build, and his face was covered with a black scarf. His appearance was invisible, but the exposed eyes were deeply imprinted in his mind. Just now, the owner of these eyes almost killed him.

Zhu Yan was in shock.

When Fan Xiaodao was "conversing" with the archer, he took off his coat and asked Zhu Yan to put it on. When he was hesitant, Fan Xiaodao pushed him towards the water tank. Fortunately, this time the bet was right, the archer

No arrows were fired at him.

"If that arrow were to hit me, I'm afraid it would have been told here."

Fan Xiaodao shook his head and said: "No."

"affim?"

"Absolutely." Fan Xiaodao said, "He is a professional killer. From beginning to end, his goal is very clear, which is to kill you. I didn't dare to shoot the arrow rashly before because I couldn't tell which one was you, and he was not affected by my words at all.

, the opportunity was fleeting, he just didn’t seize it.”

Yuncai and Bai Wuchang walked out of the house.

When Yun Cai saw his master in danger, he quickly knelt down and said, "This slave is guilty and failed to protect his master." Zhu Yan waved his hand, "Get up, it's me who insists on going my own way. It has nothing to do with you. Besides, I'm not living well.

?”

Yuncai begged for mercy again and again, but did not stand up until Zhu Yan gave the order. He inspected the body, took out the arrows, looked at them, and said: "These arrows are made of pure steel, and the arrow shafts and arrow clusters are integrated. There are no forging marks left."

, However, the arrow feathers look like the binding method of the Shenji Battalion, but it cannot be ruled out that they are setting up a suspicion formation."

If the assassination is successful, once the prince is killed, the court will definitely send people to trace it. No matter how stupid the opponent is, they will not leave any trace. However, the iron arrows are heavier than ordinary arrows, and their strength is also different. With the power just now, he will

The internal energy is poured into the arrow body. There are very few people in the world who have this kind of skill.

Zhu Yan said: "No matter what, you saved my life tonight. Brother Fan, I owe you this favor."

Fan Xiaodao smiled and said, "No need, we just met by chance, and you entertained me with good wine and good food, so we can be considered equal between you and me."

Yuncai glanced at him. He had met countless people in his life. After seeing the prince, other people wanted to hug the big tree tightly. Fan Xiaodao had saved the prince tonight. This was an excellent opportunity to make friends with the prince. Fan Xiaodao

But he treated it as a trivial matter and didn't take it to heart at all.

This kind of person is either a very profound person or a frank and straightforward person.

Either way, they are not extraordinary people.

Zhu Yan didn't expect him to say this, and said in shock: "Do you know that you just rejected the great future in the future?"

Fan Xiaodao laughed loudly, "Clinging to the rich and powerful and amassing wealth may be somewhat attractive to others, but for me, as a six-door policeman, being able to pursue murderers and thieves and protect the safety of the people is enough.

, when it comes to money, just have enough."

These words were said with great pride. After saying them, Fan Xiaodao felt that he was very "Zhao Xing".

In the past, such pretentious words always came from Zhao Xing's mouth. Having known him for so long, he felt that his choice of words had been subtly influenced by him.

Of course, Fan Xiaodao is not a saint. Originally, with Zhu Yan as his backer, it would be easier to move to Qian's Consort. However, Song Jingang's death has something to do with the royal family. Sooner or later, he will leave the capital. One thing is worse than one thing less.

People are dead.

It's no longer safe to spend the night in this chicken feather shop.

Zhu Yan made a decisive decision and entered the capital immediately. Although the city gate was closed, Zhu Yan still had some power as the prince. He said to Fan Xiaodao, "Brother Fan, please do not mention the assassination of me tonight to anyone.

"

"Why?"

"The capital is the center of power in the world. The situation there is complicated, with overt and covert struggles, and endless entanglements. Especially this year, it is even worse than in the past. My father is sending me back to Beijing now because he wants me to be the one who breaks the situation and disrupts it. If there is a chance in the future, I will

Talk to you in detail!"

Yuncai brought the horse over and gave Bai Wuchang a guard horse. The four of them rode four to the city gate. When the guards heard that the prince had arrived, they did not dare to neglect. After inspecting the documents, they opened the city gate and let him go. After a while,

, the deputy commander of the Forbidden Army came to greet him.

There are informants from various forces in the capital. The prince arrived in the capital late at night without any entourage. The news soon spread throughout the mansions of the important officials. In the capital that was already undercurrent, there was another troublemaker.

From beginning to end, Zhu Yan said nothing about the assassination. However, this kind of thing cannot be hidden for too long, but for a politician, good things sometimes turn into bad things, and bad things, if they can be used, may also turn into bad things.

Good thing.

Fan Xiaodao and Bai Wuchang rode horses side by side on the long street.

With the current curfew, it is strictly forbidden to ride horses in the capital except for emergency military situations and official duties. However, when the officers and soldiers saw the markings on Bai Wuchang's mount equipment, they did not stop him.

Fan Xiaodao said: "I think you seem to be somewhat hostile to the prince."

Bai Wuchang said, "I am hostile to anyone, let alone the first time we meet, especially that dead eunuch who keeps staring at others, making me feel uncomfortable."

Seeing the astonishment on Fan Xiaodao's face, she smiled slightly and said, "If a beautiful woman like me doesn't behave coldly, wouldn't she be annoyed to death every day? Just like you, with a thick head like yours,

It’s just a bit dismissive. But..."

Bai Wuchang paused, "You saw that I left a letter and found me in time. Your performance tonight can be regarded as passing. But next time you encounter something like that, don't stupidly block others' arrows. Why bother?"

Fan Xiaodao's head felt hot and he blurted out, "If it were you, I would still block the arrow for you."

Bai Wuchang blushed, "Who wants you to help me block the arrow? Your life is your own..." She pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, "You just said that from now on, it is mine.

.”

The two came to the door of the inn.

Fan Xiaodao remembered what he had come to do, and took Sun Mengwu's secret letter and the clear copy, and gave them to Bai Wuchang, "Sun Mengwu has been dead for so long, and I haven't deciphered this letter. The information contained in it may be useful for searching.

Your senior sister is helpful."

Bai Wuchang put the letter and Mingben into his arms, smiled, "Thank you very much!"

After Fan Xiaodao left, Bai Wuchang returned to the room, took out a bottle of potion from his arms, poured it into a bowl, and dipped Sun Mengwu's letter into it. After a while, a line of vague words appeared, and she took it.

He came to Sun Mengwu's "Huizhen Ji" and compiled the contents of the letter corresponding to the secret text. Looking at the contents of the letter, Bai Wuchang fell into deep thought.

After a long time, she stretched out her fingers, lit the secret letter and the translation on the candlestick, and threw it into the brazier.
