Zhang Xiu:? ? ?
As a martial artist, he always felt that there was something strange in the way his Lord Marquis looked at him, but he couldn't tell what was strange at the moment.
"Shi Ah, right? You want to know why I can guess that you are an assassin? There are two reasons."
Zhao Yu looked at Shi A who was standing with a sword and said loudly.
"Appreciate further details."
Shi A showed an interested look on his face.
"First, after being ambushed by assassins, both I and Mr. Wang focused their suspicion on Naji Shikang. He led the scouts to explore the road, but he was so negligent. In my eyes, it was suspected that he had done it deliberately. Usually, scouts go in teams to investigate the enemy's situation. These scouts are all veterans and cannot make such low-level mistakes. Therefore, when the convoy is ambushed by assassins, the biggest suspect is Ji Shikang."
"Can't we bribe those scouts?" Shi A raised his eyebrows and asked.
"Won't!"
Zhao Yu's answer was decisive.
"Buying a captain is much more cost-effective than buying a few scouts. As long as the leader is not a fool, he will not do such a stupid thing."
"Little Marquis, please continue."
Shi A nodded, agreeing with Zhao Yu's statement.
Zhao Yu continued: "The second and biggest flaw is in you."
Before Shi A could speak, Zhao Yu had already said loudly:
"Although I am a member of the great Chu clan and was born into a wealthy family, I am aware of the hardships in the world along the way. Ordinary soldiers cannot afford to wear those black cloth boots on your feet! I have just started I just have doubts about Ji Shikang, but when I see those boots on your feet, I am absolutely sure that Ji Shikang is the traitor, and you, Shi A, are the assassin who wants to kill me!"
Hearing this, Shi A was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and smiled bitterly:
"But I didn't expect that Shi Mou accidentally showed his flaws here. The young Marquis is as meticulous as a hair, and Shi Mou admires it."
When changing the uniform of the soldier, he felt that the soldier's straw sandals were a bit too small, so he still wore his original boots. Unexpectedly, the young marquis noticed the flaw.
Could it be that Marquis An Guo is really the man of destiny?
This thought flashed through his mind.
As a swordsman, Shi A also has his own sources of intelligence. Shi A also heard about everything that happened at Taibaekding in Fuyu Mountain more than ten days ago through his own channels.
Under the thunder from the sky, all the bronze busts of the Chu clan were turned into powder, but this one was the only one who was unscathed.
If this is not God's will, what is God's will?
"Shi A, now that you know all the causes and consequences, you can go on the road as a wise man..."
Zhao Yu finished speaking and waved his hand.
Seeing this, Zhang Xiu on the side hung the bright silver gun on the winning hook, held the long bow with horns in his left hand, moved his right hand behind his back, held two armor-piercing arrows in his palm, bent the bow and aimed at Shi A's heart. .
They had just fought in a hurry, and they didn't have time to use the chain archery technique.
Now Zhang Xiu wanted to see how many of his arrows the assassin who called himself Shi A could block!
Not only Zhang Xiu, but nearly half of the nearly forty palace guards guarding Zhao Yu took out a powerful crossbow half an arm's length from their backs.
Amidst a winding sound that made Shi'a's scalp numb, twenty crossbow arrows were filled into the crossbow machine's card slot, and then were lifted up by their master and aimed at him.
Crazy, all crazy!
Feeling the piercing murderous intent rushing toward him like a wave, Shi A's eyebrows jumped, and he couldn't help but curse in his heart.
This unworthy Marquis of Anguo actually retained such a hand!
Doesn't he know that this powerful bow and crossbow are prohibited from private possession by the people in Chu State?
According to the laws of Dachu, hiding a crossbow secretly is a serious crime that kills the three Yi tribes!
He was good at it. If he didn't agree, he would backhand out twenty sticks without saying a word!
He is a swordsman and does not have a treasured armor to protect himself, and his cultivation is not high enough to withstand crossbow arrows. He can attack the ninth-level grandmaster level of Ten Thousand Army alone. With his own sword, he can block a wave of arrows. How many of them?
If Zhao Yu knew what Shi A was thinking at this time, he would probably laugh.
As long as he survives this step, as long as he reaches Shenjing City, it will be a certainty that he will become emperor in a few days.
Now that Zhao Yu has become the emperor, should he still be held accountable for his crime of hiding a crossbow?
Even if some ministers want to use this as an excuse to cause trouble for him and try to depose him as the emperor, they must first pass the test of being the general of the auxiliary country before talking about anything else.
He, Huang Jingming, managed to raise an emperor with great difficulty. Are you going to depose him at your suggestion?
Don't I, the great general who serves the country, have no shame?
As his mind raced, Shi A had already put on a smiling face.
"Master Hou, please come on, Mr. Shi has something to say!"
"If you have anything to say, please leave it to the underworld!"
Zhao Yu snorted coldly and was about to give the order to take action when he saw Shi A jump down from the treetop, dropped his sword on the ground, half-knelt on the ground, and shouted loudly: "Master Hou, don't do it. Just shoot the arrow and the villain will surrender!"
Zhao Yu:? ? ?
From Shi Mou to villain, your Shi A's figure is quite soft, isn't it?
"Master Hou?"
Seeing that Zhao Yu seemed to be interested, Zhang Xiu whispered.
"Let the guards not let down their guard!"
Zhao Yu waved his hand and walked to about ten steps away from Shi'a. He looked at Shi'a who was kneeling on the ground with his neck being stabbed by the guard's sword, and asked in a deep voice:
"How can I trust you?"
"Young man, go and take off the head of the leader named Wu and present it to the Marquis as a token of your gratitude!" Shi A lowered his head and said without hesitation.
"Okay, I will trust you once. Youwei, give him the sword!"
Zhao Yu waved his hand without any hesitation in his tone.
"Master Hou?"
Zhang Xiu opened his eyes wide in shock and couldn't accept it for a while.
This guy was an enemy just a moment ago, how could he...
"give him!"
Zhao Yu repeated again.
Zhang Xiu gritted his teeth, bent down to pick up the dark sword, and threw it in front of Shi A with the scabbard.
"Shia, right? Remember your words!"
Shi Amo picked up the long sword on the ground, bowed to Zhao Yu, then turned and walked forward.
"Master Hou, this swordsman named Shi A has a very flexible mind. Pu is here. Congratulations to Master Hou for getting a good general."
Wang Pu came to Zhao Yu's side, looked at Shi A's back, and said softly.
"Sir, I'm fine, so I'm relieved. Did you notice it, too?"
Although it was a question, Zhao Yu's tone was extremely affirmative. According to this person’s wisdom, if you can’t see it, it’s abnormal.
Zhang Xiu looked at Zhao Yu and then at Wang Pu, wondering for a moment what kind of riddle the two men were playing.
"Judging from Shi'a's words, he and these assassins are obviously not in the same group." Wang Pu explained for Zhao Yu with a smile.
"Youwei also understands this. But aren't the Marquis and Mr. afraid that the other party will run away?"
What Zhang Xiu still can't figure out is this question.
"Run? Where to run? Don't forget, what did our Marquis come to the capital for? Doesn't Shi A hold the Marquis's thigh tightly at this time, doesn't quickly show up, and atone for his sins, but runs away? Isn't he afraid that he will enter the capital in the future? Can't we make a big move?"
Wang Pu's rhetorical question left Zhang Xiu speechless.
Yes, if you put yourself in his shoes, you will find that Shia has no motive to escape at all.
"That's why I say that if you have a sharp mind, you can eat plain buns. Judging from this matter alone, this Shi Anai is a person with a flexible mind."
There was another sentence that Wang Pu did not say.
After going back and forth, this Shi A was actually able to master the skill of following the dragon. Even if this contribution is so small that it is not worth mentioning, it is still the last train. In the future, it will be too late for others to envy you.
After hearing Wang Pu's explanation, Zhang Xiu was greatly impressed and admired Zhao Yu even more.
As expected of Mr. Wang, these words made people suddenly enlightened. If Zhang Xiu was asked to say this, the wording would not be "flexible mind" but "adjust to the wind".
"So much for the gossip." Zhao Yu said, "Youwei, leave ten people to protect me and my husband, and the rest will go with you to suppress the thieves!"
I can finally move my body!
Zhang Xiu agreed excitedly, with his spear in hand, he rushed towards the meeting point ahead. Behind him, thirty palace guards formed a formation, each holding a weapon, following closely behind.
