When Mrs. Qi came out of the camp carrying the food box, it was already dark.
After saying hello to the guard at the door, she headed to the tent she had arranged for herself early in the morning.
But when she was about to reach the tent, and when she was about to open the tent, an arrow suddenly shot from behind her.
Mrs. Qi didn't realize that the arrow was shooting at her body. When she realized it, the arrow had already penetrated her body.
It wasn't until she saw the arrow on her chest that she realized that she had been pierced by an arrow. Moreover, the arrow seemed to be stained with some kind of venom. Madam Qi stretched out her hand to press her chest, but she only felt all the poison on her palm. It's black blood.
At the same time, she couldn't help but look outside the tent with a distorted face. However, everywhere she looked, except for the bonfires, there were only soldiers patrolling with torches. Everything looked as usual.
She didn't see the murderer who shot the arrow at her, but for some reason she thought of He Rong immediately.
Unfortunately, when she wanted to call for help, she felt a sudden pain in her body, and then her whole body felt dizzy.
The patrolling soldiers did not notice any movement at first, until Mrs. Qi suddenly fell to the ground. A soldier passing by discovered the woman who had fallen to the ground and the arrow in her chest.
When the soldier saw this, he couldn't help shouting, "No! Someone has been killed!"
After hearing the soldier's words, everyone immediately gathered around. Just when everyone was wondering what to do, the leader of the team immediately said, "Those who seem to have fallen ill, please go find a military doctor as soon as possible." Please tell me, let the others go to the nearby area to see if there is anyone suspicious."
After being instructed by the squad leader, everyone else left in an instant, while the squad leader stayed here alone.
He looked at Mrs. Qi coldly. At this time, Mrs. Qi's consciousness was blurred. She just vomited out black blood. The team leader looked at Mrs. Qi expressionlessly.
However, he could still see that Mrs. Qi seemed to be struggling to write something on the ground, and after he saw the word "Rong", he just erased it without leaving a trace.
And when He Lian arrived here, Mrs. Qi finally breathed her last.
When He Lian saw the scene, he couldn't help but asked loudly, "Who did it? Where is the military doctor!"
When the team leader heard this, he immediately said with an innocent face, "Your Highness, I have sent people to look for suspicious people nearby! The military doctor is also on the way!"
Helian didn't say anything after hearing this, but his gloominess was terrifying.
When he approached Mrs. Qi, he only tried to say a few words to Mrs. Qi, "Ms. Qi! Please cheer up. The military doctor will be here soon."
However, at this time, Mrs. Qi had already breathed her last breath.
Therefore, she could no longer respond to Helian's call.
Seeing that the situation was almost over, the team leader only used his hand to test Madam Qi's breathing. After confirming that the other party was not breathing at all, he said, "Your Highness, Madam Qi is not breathing."
Hearing what the other party said, Helian immediately stared at the other party.
Just as the captain was stabbing his back, there was a rush of running sounds not far away.
Everyone looked over and saw a Qiangmo doctor hurried over carrying a small medicine box.
Seeing that He Lian was running in a hot sweat, He Lian did not reprimand him. On the contrary, when the doctor saw He Lian, he was just frightened. "Your Highness."
He Lian did not speak, only turned sideways, and the doctor did not dare to say anything more. He only came to Madam Qi's side in fear, and then he first tested her breath, and then pinched Madam Qi's philtrum.
However, facing the doctor's temptation, Mrs. Qi was obviously at her wits' end.
The doctor immediately wiped the hot sweat from his forehead in fear.
After a moment, he dared to whisper to Helian, "Your Highness, this person is gone."
He Lian's face was very serious, "Of course I know she has gone. What I want you to do is find out why she went so fast!"
After receiving He Lian's instructions, the doctor responded repeatedly.
Then he only checked the arrow that caused Mrs. Qi's trauma, and then checked Mrs. Qi's pulse.
After a while, the doctor said loudly, "Your Highness, this lady was injured by an arrow and was in trouble."
Hearing this, Helian couldn't help but interrupt and said, "You're not talking nonsense. We can all see that she was hit in the chest by an arrow. It's not like I haven't been injured by an arrow! But no matter how I was injured by an arrow, no one would Will it go so quickly?"
The doctor only nodded slightly when he heard the words, "Your Highness, you are right. This lady is indeed not injured by a simple arrow. In fact, the arrow was rubbed with aconite grass! The poison of aconitum grass is very strong, and it can almost reach adulthood." Just a little bit of it can kill a person instantly."
Hearing the doctor's words, Helian's face instantly darkened.
The doctor also became extremely anxious for a moment.
He was only afraid that His Highness Helian would blame himself for not saving the woman.
Fortunately, He Lian didn't say much. At the same time, the group of soldiers who went to look for the suspicious person hurried back.
Unexpectedly, they actually caught a suspicious person during their search, but the suspicious person's background was obviously quite big. Although they invited people over, no one dared to use force on him.
Instead, the man only held a long bow and said in a dissatisfied tone, "I'm just hunting! Why did you bring me here? If you can't tell me one, two, three, four, don't blame me for being rude!"
Hearing what the other party said, Helian just looked towards the other party. Unexpectedly, it was the eldest prince of the Voodoo tribe who came over. Helian had a fierce look on his face when he looked at the long bow in the man's hand and the riding attire. , but before the facts are confirmed, he can't reveal too much. After all, they still need the cooperation of the Voodoo tribe.
Therefore, He Lian only took the initiative and said, "Your Highness is so offended. I asked someone to invite you here."
Hearing this, the person who was still shouting finally saw Helian. When he saw Helian, he didn't show any fear. He just looked at Helian and said, "What are you doing?" mean? Is it possible that if I go hunting, it will be a hindrance to you? "
Helian only shook his head when he heard this and said, "Of course not, but you also saw that something happened to someone on my side. If not, I would not have sent people to patrol around. They invited you here to confirm the situation."
Hearing He Lian's words, the man lowered his head and looked at the dead body on the ground. At this time, Madam Qi's face turned black. When she saw this situation, the Voodoo Prince seemed as if he had never seen such a situation before. He was so frightened that he immediately jumped away.
"Oh my God! It's so scary! How could this person be like this?" The Voodoo Prince asked He Lian with an expression that scared the baby to death.
However, He Lian just looked at the quiver behind the Voodoo Prince. He only said to the Voodoo Prince, "Your Highness, can I see the arrow in your hand?"
The Voodoo Prince was very cooperative when he heard this, "Of course."
After saying this, the eldest prince took out the arrow in his hand. Unexpectedly, the two of them only compared the arrows in the hands of Madam Qi and the eldest prince Voodoo, and then their faces sank.
These two arrows were so similar that the eldest prince immediately said, "Where did you get this arrow from?"
He Lian looked at the bloody hole in Madam Qi's chest and said, "Your Highness, this arrow was pulled out from her chest! And this arrow is very similar to yours. Do you have anything else to say now?"
Upon hearing this, the Voodoo Prince quickly shook his head and said, "This is impossible! I was just shooting a newly released live deer nearby, how could it hit a living person? This must not be my arrow! Maybe someone is here Framed! Yes! That must be the case!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Voodoo Prince snatched the arrow from He Lian's hand.
He Lian was unprepared for a moment and didn't want the arrow to be snatched away by the Voodoo Prince.
However, Helian saw that he had no intention of destroying it, so he let him go.
After the Voodoo Prince took the two arrows, he only looked at the writing on the arrows near the feathers. Unexpectedly, the two arrows had a plum blossom mark just at the mark. ..
Seeing the plum blossom mark, the Voodoo Prince was stunned. He only murmured in a low voice, "How could this happen? This is a lie, right?"
? My arrow was obviously just shooting a live deer, how could it hit a person? "
He Lian didn't say anything to the Voodoo Prince's soliloquy. He just looked at the Voodoo Prince indifferently.
To be honest, looking at the expression on his face, Helian didn't think he was acting. If he hadn't discovered the venom of Aconitum on the arrow just now, he might even have thought that the arrow was voodoo. The eldest prince shot it casually, and maybe it was just a manslaughter.
But if everything was true as the Voodoo Prince said, he was just hunting and enjoying the fun of hunting, then there should be no need to apply this poison on the arrow.
But if he said he was deliberately seeking revenge, it didn't seem to make sense at the moment. After all, Madam Qi and the Voodoo Prince had no grudges or intersections.
There is no need for the eldest prince to kill Madam Qi.
And just when he was feeling suspicious and didn't know where to start, when he saw that the eldest prince was actually preparing to pinch the arrow with aconite grass in his hand, He Lian just said hurriedly. "Your Highness! Be careful! It's poisonous!"
After hearing He Lian's words, the eldest prince obviously realized this only then.
At that moment, he just threw the arrow away in shock. Then he only said to Helian, "You are serious! Why didn't you tell me earlier!"
However, He Lian picked up the arrow slowly and said, "I thought you knew it was stained with aconite poison."
