Chitose words

Han Changsheng looked at Xie Zhao's frowning profile thoughtfully, then crept forward, avoiding the noisy people and ears around him, and lowered his voice and asked:
"Hey! A-Zhao, you little troublemaker, don't think I didn't see it. Just now, you ran to the stage and picked up something?"

Seeing that no one was paying attention, Xie Zhao took out a small thing from his sleeve, quickly opened his palm and gave Han Changsheng a look, and then quietly put the thing back into his sleeve again.

Han Changsheng frowned, looked around very vigilantly, and then said angrily:

"Is it an arrow cluster? Could it be the one that fell from the arrow that was shot at Emperor Han Yong?

——You are looking for death!If someone had just seen you picking this up, they might have taken you as an assassin's accomplice! "

Xie Zhao touched his ears and said helplessly:

"You can make your voice louder, so that the whole world can hear that I picked up the arrow cluster."

Han Changsheng was horrified and quickly choked back the second half of the reprimand that slipped to his lips.

Xie Zhao smiled and shook his head and said:
"Don't panic, I paid attention to the movements around me when I was picking up things, and I used your body to cover my movements.

Don't worry, from that angle, no one else will see my movements except you. "

Han Chang was angry.

"Well, that's not possible! What if? This is a life-threatening matter. Why are you so brave?"

Xie Zhao laughed and nodded with a somewhat conniving smile.

"You are right, Young Master Han, I am not cautious enough."

She lightly shrugged and said, "Okay, I've done everything. Just say a few words less. Your head is already full of words."

Han Changsheng looked at her expressionlessly and muttered unhappily:

"Come on, you will stop treating me like a child every day. You have so many ideas that you can always reach the sky, but be careful about your own life and don't let yourself get away with it one day."

He recalled the arrow cluster just now and subconsciously asked:
"No, you always do things knowingly, but you never do anything useless.

Since you just went out of your way to pick up the arrow cluster, there must be something fishy about it. What tricks did you see? "

Xie Zhao nodded and replied softly: "There is indeed something wrong with the arrow cluster."

She frowned and turned her head to look in the direction of the imperial court and tent not far away. Ling You had already entered with Emperor Hanyong Tuoba Hong for a while.

However, she just saw from a distance that the attendants and guards in the big tent were exiting the imperial tent one after another, so she was not very worried.

He was just Emperor Hanyong in the Guanyu realm. If there was any conflict or change, Ling You could handle it.

So, she continued to say to Han Changsheng:

"I was just in the royal tent of the Yuwen Department, and I felt that this arrow cluster shot from the mountain forest was a bit strange.

Ordinary arrow clusters are mostly made of metal. In the daytime, especially on sunny days when the sun is shining, they will actually be somewhat reflective.The silver light refracted by metal under sunlight is always the easiest to attract the attention of guards.

But the arrow just now was actually an almost grass-black black color all over its body.

Because of this, when the archer was hiding in the mountains and forests, his whereabouts would hardly be revealed.

I just thought there might be something strange about this arrow cluster, so I wanted to pick it up to find out, and then I realized that there was something special about the arrow cluster and the arrow shaft. "

Xie Zhao faced Han Changsheng's inquisitive gaze, leaned towards his ear, and said:

"The arrows shot by the assassins were smeared with a plant from Western Xinjiang called 'Spider Grass'. This kind of spider grass only grows in the Gobi desert west of the Fenglan Dynasty.

If this plant is crushed and applied to an arrow, it can hide the metallic shine on the arrow;
At the same time, the juice of black spider grass contains trace amounts of toxins, which can cause wound paralysis and infection in poisoned people. "

Han Changsheng's eyes widened and he also lowered his voice:

"You mean this assassination is related to Xijiang Fenglan?"

He frowned and said in confusion:

"However, the Fenglan Dynasty in Western Xinjiang and the Hanyong Dynasty in Northern Xinjiang did not have a direct border. The two countries were separated by the vast desert of Nuo, so they were forced to live in peace for hundreds of years.

If there was an unprovoked assassination of Emperor Hanyong of the Northern Dynasty, and the incident would trigger a military conflict between the two countries, what benefit would this bring to the Fenglan Dynasty? "

Xie Zhao shook his head gently. "There is no doubt that the black spider grass is a plant in Western Xinjiang, but I don't think the person behind the assassination may be the court of the Fenglan Dynasty."

Her eyes were heavy and her face was very calm.

"Whenever people in the world mention a country, they will subconsciously think of the court in that country. But in fact, this is just a stereotype."

Xie Zhao shook his head with a half-smile.

She casually cast her gaze towards the distant arena, where the participating warriors were being inspected and interrogated one by one amid the noise and chaos, and then murmured in a low voice:
"Perhaps, the people behind the scenes want us to think so."

Han Changsheng frowned and looked at her.

"So, is this a frame-up?"

Xie Zhao shook his head again.

“I don’t want to make any presumptions without conclusive evidence.

What I said before are just some baseless inferences and guesses on my part. "

Han Changsheng murmured: "But, all your previous deductions turned out to be true in the end."

For example, when they were in Guangling City, the capital of Tianchen Kingdom, Xie Zhao had boldly asserted that Shen Wei would not succeed when he asked "Golden Terrace" because Lu Shangque would not accept the challenge - he thought she was a fool at the time, but who knew In the end, her words came true!

This kind of thing has happened countless times since the three of them met!
It's just once or twice, but Xie Zhao is able to predict it every time. Even if he realizes it later, like Han Changsheng, he feels it's a little weird and weird, and is frightened!
Thinking of this, he looked at Xie Zhao in horror.

"Azhao, don't tell me! You're so smart that you're so smart. Have you ever learned astrology and divination?"

Xie Zhao looked at him helplessly.

"What do you mean? You idiot, don't you think I am the magic stick of Shentai Palace?"

As soon as these words came out, Han Changsheng immediately became unhappy!
"What do you mean? What's going on? How can you call him a magic stick?
The priests of Shentai Palace are all extraordinary masters with the appearance of immortals! "

His brows were furrowed tightly as he muttered to himself, trying to reason with Xie Zhao.

"Azhao, how can you, a novice like you who has no sense of awe and is a novice in the world, understand the peerless heroic appearance of the masters of the Shentai Palace and the extraordinary methods of observing the stars and breaking the momentum?

It's okay for you to talk nonsense in front of me and Ling You. Outside, especially when we return to the Southern Dynasty, you won't want to be so lawless and speak freely without any taboos. Be careful that trouble comes from your mouth! "

Xie Zhao held his forehead and sighed.

She nodded as if taught, "Yes, I understand, I understand."

Hey, how should I say it?

Han Changsheng's blind worship of Shentai Palace is really "Southern Dynasties".

It is a kind of deep belief that is close to worshiping, unwavering, and worshiping as a god.

But in fact, although the art of stargazing, divination, and asking about the sky in the Shentai Palace is very mysterious, most of the priests and inner disciples can only take a first look at the way and make an overall judgment on the general direction of world affairs.

As for predicting the future and avoiding risks, that is the true magic of alienation.

Historically, only those in the Shentai Palace who have mastered the art of picking stars, the art of small and large Sanskrit sounds, and the art of divination to the pinnacle can truly step over the threshold and take a peek.

And for thousands of years, the only people in the Shentai Palace who have been able to practice the above secret techniques to that extent are the high priests of the past dynasties whose martial arts realm is higher than that of the Immortal Realm.

However, due to their own political stance, Nanchao Tianchen's temple was happy to see the exaggerated claims about the Shentai Palace in the world.

Han Changsheng saw that Xie Zhao had "subdued" and admitted her mistake, so he decided to forgive her for speaking out this time.

He thought for a while and asked: "Then what should we do now?"

Xie Zhao smiled lightly.

"Wait."

Wait for Ling or to come out.

Or they fight in.
