Chapter 215 Who kills the king?

At this moment Lan An drew the bow and arrow, his eagle-like sharp eyes were fixed, his hands full of the bow did not tremble in the slightest, the arrow moved little by little, following the horse that was dragging the man.

After Jun Ci was stopped by Qin Xiao, he saw the timing and quickly released the arrow.

The chaos of the arena attracted everyone's attention. Maybe no one noticed who had shot that arrow, but when it flew out, it hit the horse directly in everyone's eyes.

Everyone guessed that the arrow was aimed at the horse, and as soon as the arrow killed the horse, it would stop naturally.

This was not the case. The arrow shot at the feet of the Central Guard soldiers at an extremely tricky angle, and the stirrup rope was twisted together. The stirrups fell off, and the dragged Central Guard soldiers also stopped.

The arrow flew out along the gap, almost parallel to the horse's head, without startling or hurting the horse.

Shooting horses is indeed an excellent method, but if an arrow is not fatal, it will definitely cause greater casualties and chaos.

If an arrow is fatal, but the horse crushes the person under the horse's belly when it falls, and it is either dead or maimed.

No one doesn't know this, so no one really takes up the bow and arrow.

Lan An's arrow technique had amazed everyone as early as the day before yesterday. When the arrow was shot, some people turned their heads to search for it soon. He happened to lower his hand holding the bow. The straight arrow was even more admirable the day before yesterday.

When everyone was amazed at Lan An's arrow skills, someone released a dart and landed on a horse that knocked people off. The horse was facing the direction of the stands, and the painful horse knocked away other horses and people. , rushed straight towards the stands.

Jun Ci brushed Qin Xiao away, and jumped away. There were quite a few people fighting with her at the same time, but no one had her speed. When the horse rushed out of the arena, Jun Ci turned over and landed on the horse. Grab the reins, clamp the horse's belly tightly, lean forward, stick to the horse's head, and use great strength to grab the horse.

When Ma'er rushed to the stand and was about to rush towards Yuan You, Jun Ci used all his hands and feet and exerted all his strength, so that Ma'er had to follow her strength and turn his head.

The princes and ministers rushed to the side, and Jun Ci shouted: "Get out of the way!"

For people who were really frightened and couldn't move their legs, Jun Ci always controlled the horse and pushed the people away.

Even so, three people were knocked down. If there was no Junci to control the horse, they would have died tragically under the horse's hooves.

Breaking through a path and quickly running out of the stands, Jun Ci reined in the reins and controlled the horse to run wildly around the open space at the edge of the arena.

The armor gleamed dazzlingly under the sun, and the girl galloping on the horse had flying long hair and a charming appearance.

After running around for two laps, he calmed down the horse. Jun Ci got off the horse, followed the faint smell of blood, and saw that there was a gash in the horse's abdomen, and the gash was still oozing blood.

She moved the horse to one side and handed it over to the groom before she stepped forward and reported to Yuan You: "Your Majesty, the horse lost control only when it was injured."

The hidden weapon did not stay on the horse, and the horse rushed straight at Yuan You just now, everyone was staring at this scene, all eyes were attracted away, no one knew where the hidden weapon fell, and no one knew if someone would deal with the aftermath, so they took it away in the chaos, Mr. Ci also cannot directly say that the horse was secretly injured, and someone intended to kill the king.

Yuan You looked gloomy, and he stared at Zhou Rong coldly: "Prime Minister, how should we decide on this matter?"

Anyone with eyes can see the cause of this incident. It was the deliberate action of the leader of the Central Committee. This person may not have thought too much, but just wanted to make things difficult for the Central Guards, but he did not expect the situation to get out of control to this point.

Zhou Rong stood up and bowed slightly to Yuan You: "Your Majesty, forgive me. It's because I'm not strict in governing my subordinates, and my subordinates have lost their sense of proportion, which is dangerous. Fortunately, Your Majesty is safe, otherwise I will be to blame for my death. As for nothing The person with the petition, His Majesty the Freedom Sacred Judgment."

There was no mention of the horse's madness later on, which is to confuse it. The horse's madness was not plotted against, but was accidentally scratched in the chaos.

In fact, at this moment, Jun Ci was not sure whether Zhou Rong's people were secretly hurting the horses in an attempt to harm Yuan You.

This matter is not like Zhou Rong's style of conduct. It must be known that there are so many generals here, the arena is still some distance from the stands, and she sits here, even if she hurts the horse, she may not be able to hurt His Majesty.

On the contrary, with such a move, everyone will suspect that Zhou Rong has ulterior motives, and it seems that the gain outweighs the loss.

With this in mind, Jun Ci looked at Yuan You.

Yuan You seemed to have sensed something, as soon as his eyes touched her, he looked away as if nothing had happened: "Come here, arrest those who disturbed the arena!"

Jun Ci lowered her eyes, she had a guess in her heart.

Soon the leader of the Central Command was escorted up and knelt down in front of Yuan You.

Yuan You stared at him coldly: "Why do you want to stop someone?"

When the situation got out of hand, this man was terrified. He was sweating profusely at this moment, and he was shaking like a sieve under the custody of two guards. He couldn't utter a complete sentence: "Chen, Chen ...Chen...no, not...intentionally..."

"You can get rid of the guilt by saying that you didn't do it on purpose?" Yuan You sneered.

"Chen...Chen..." The man was paralyzed, his mouth was trembling, but he couldn't utter a complete sentence.

"Drag it on." Yuanyou didn't bother to take a look, "Behead him on the spot!"

Many people looked at Zhou Rong, but Zhou Rong didn't change his face.

At this moment, a horseman suddenly exclaimed, and everyone followed the sound, and saw the horseman running over tremblingly with something in his hands, and knelt down in front of Yuanyou with a plop, with his hands raised above his head, palms It is a hidden weapon stained with blood.

"Your Majesty, I found this item in the arena."

In the grandstand, Yuanyou sat side by side with the queen. There was a flat bluestone floor in front of it. On the left and right sat the high-ranking civil and military ministers of the court. They could see the hidden weapons kneeling in the middle and being held high above the head by the horsemen.

Originally, it was only suspected that the horse that ran out of control and rushed towards Yuanyou was plotted against, but with this thing, it can be proved that this is the case.

This means that someone is going to kill the king!
"Okay, great!" Yuan You sneered, "Prime Minister, I will entrust the Prime Minister to investigate this matter thoroughly, and I hope that the Prime Minister will not let me down, let me take a look, who is so bold , how dare you take advantage of the chaos to kill the king!"

No one would have thought that Yuanyou would directly ask Zhou Rong to investigate, not even Zhou Rong himself.

It was difficult for him to refuse this sudden appointment. There was no reason. The matter was of great importance and the monarch trusted him. Zhou Rong had no choice but to bow himself: "Minister, take orders."

Nodding his head, Yuan You raised his voice and said: "Although there are accidents in this competition, the Central Guard's decline has already shown, so we judge the Central Army to win."

He tilted his head and asked Junci: "Junqing, do you have any objections?"

Junci clasped his hands together: "Your Majesty, the leader of the Central Army is brave, and it is an indisputable fact that the Central Guards were defeated."

After Yuanyou was satisfied, he said again: "We will compete in the next afternoon, and everything will remain as usual."

After saying that, Yuan You got up and left. After sending you off, he looked over his hands and looked at Yuan You's distant figure with a complicated expression.

　I came back late and only wrote [-] words, hey, good night.
