As soon as Lu Songping finished speaking, it was Xiao Nanhui's turn to have a strange expression.
She only knew that Xiao Zhun was skilled in spearmanship, but had no idea that he was also proficient in bow and arrow.
After a moment's silence, Xiao Nan replied perfunctorily.
"You mentioned it, and I just remembered it." Her eyes moved to the Bijiang slender bow, and she suddenly said, "Can I borrow this bow?"
"do what?"
"I've been in the village of Bijiang for a while, and I have some impression of the craftsmanship of those craftsmen. Perhaps I can imitate a few of their skills. Given time, maybe I can try out a new bow."
This was of course an excuse. She was receiving a salary from the Guangyao Camp, so why should she worry about the Black Feather Camp?
But if she could make a new bow that matched the black feather arrows and circulate it among the troops, she would be considered to have done something remarkable together with Xiao Zhun.
Lu Songping's gaze moved from her neck to her shoulders, and then from her shoulders to her waist and abdomen, with an undisguised insolence.
Xiao Nanhui felt instinctively uncomfortable and almost thought he was going to be exposed.
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
Lu Songping was silent for a moment and then expressed his conclusion.
"You are born with deficiencies. I'm afraid there's no way forward for you if you abandon the spear and pick up the bow."
The other party spat out a mouthful of venom nonchalantly, and Xiao Nanhui took a deep breath and forced a smile.
Who wants to give up the gun and pick up the bow? Ugh! She doesn't want it!
“You won’t know whether it works or not until you try it.”
After saying that, she picked up the bow and prepared to take this opportunity to slip away, but Lu Songping's voice suddenly rang out again.
"Wait a moment."
The cold sweat that Xiao Nanhui had just begun to fade broke out again. This guy was too difficult to deal with. I thought after chatting with him for so long, I should have moved on from this.
She stood at the door, ready to rush out at any time.
"What's the matter, Lieutenant Lu?"
Lu Songping gave a forced smile and said, "Didn't the Right General come here to discuss the assassin?"
Xiao Nanhui was stunned for a moment before she realized that the other party was bringing up the topic that had been diverted earlier, and she couldn't figure out what Lu Songping was thinking.
"Has Lieutenant Lu noticed anything unusual?" She asked, then worried she wasn't specific enough, adding, "The assassin might be in cahoots with the Bai family. I'm worried..."
"General Right, there's no need to worry about the Bai family's daughter. The Bai family's villa is right inside the camp. The Black Feather Camp is very good at deploying secret sentries. If they want, not even a fly can get in. General Right has witnessed this before on the Tianmu River Ancient Road."
This casual remark made Xiao Nanhui stand there in a daze, and he didn't even have time to pay attention to the sarcasm in the other party's tone.
The Black Feather Camp actually used their camp to surround the villa where Bai Yun was staying?!
No wonder such a big thing happened yesterday, but the whole Jiaosong was not in a panic. It turned out that the game had already been decided.
As long as Bai Yun, the white chess piece, is still surrounded by the black chess pieces, a white chess piece will come to rescue him sooner or later. All the black chess piece has to do is to hold one side and wait and see what happens.
Xiao Nanhui, having regained her composure, felt a surge of inexplicable anger. If she had known the other party's words would have been enough, why would she have spent so much time poring over this shabby case?!
Looking at Lu Songping's innocent yet sinister face, she suddenly felt that he knew her purpose from the moment he entered the tent, but he had to go around in circles to watch her trying so hard to justify herself.
She felt a little bit humiliated, but Lu Songping didn't seem to intend to give her a chance to turn the tables and directly said to drive him away: "What else do you want, General Right?"
Xiao Nanhui refused to admit defeat. He flipped his hand and took the three black-feathered arrows from the quiver, saying righteously, "I'll lend you three arrows. Brother Lu, don't be stingy."
After she finished speaking, she was worried that the other party would attack again, so she put oil on her feet and turned into a gust of wind and quickly slipped away.
However, Lu Songping did not speak again nor chase after him. He raised his eyes and glanced at the jade hook on the felt curtain at the door that was making a crisp sound. The corners of his mouth curled up and he continued to fiddle with the bowstring with his head down.
******************
It is much easier to find a annex in the military camp than to find a tent.
But even if he found the right place, Xiao Nanhui didn't dare to go forward rashly.
Lu Songping's words were still echoing in her ears. When she had sneaked to Lingxi to find the emperor before, she had been shot in the thigh by an arrow.
It was quiet all around, without a single patrolling soldier to be seen, let alone any trace of secret sentries.
It was indeed the work of Lu Songping.
Xiao Nanhui squatted in the half-pit for a while, but he really couldn't think of any good solution. He just felt that it was no use delaying any longer, so he simply got up and walked to a bright place.
She was wearing the casual clothes of a military guard at this time, but she wore a black feather military cap on her head, which was only worn by formal military officers, so that she could move more smoothly in the military camp.
After walking dozens of steps, there was still no movement around.
The gray wall of the villa was right in front of him. Xiao Nanhui felt a little nervous. He adjusted the bow and arrow in his hand and performed a few moves, as if he was going to practice here. Then he cleared his throat and began to prepare himself.
"This place is very spacious. It's really a good place to practice archery."
Just as she finished speaking, the old crow on the tree next to her suddenly opened its mouth and screamed "Ah Ah" twice, which scared her.
After waiting for a while, there was still silence all around.
Xiao Nanhui felt that her way of pretending to be guilty was quite stupid, but the play had already begun and she didn't know if anyone was watching her secretly, so she had to continue.
After carefully observing the wall of the villa, Xiao Nanhui had made up his mind.
She pulled the bow to its full length and aimed at a crack in the wall. The next second, the arrow flew off the string, breaking through the rotten white lime on the edge of the wall with a "pop" sound and shooting into the yard.
