Chapter 85 Su Luo, you want to assassinate me?
Being tightly grasped by her hand, an unnatural look flashed across Wen Zixi's face. "Your fourth brother is good at archery. A few days ago, the Dali Temple discovered that someone used a sharp arrow to shoot through three Yan State spies at the same time. The method is similar to your fourth brother's."
"Can I, can I see that sharp arrow?" Su Luo was so excited that she was incoherent. "If, if I, if it was my fourth brother's arrow, I would recognize it at a glance."
"Okay." Wen Zixi paddled and approached the shore. "We need to be cautious about this matter, because there is a powerful force investigating the deaths of your father and brother."
"Someone else is investigating? Who is it?" Su Luo clenched her fists. "I must personally kill the person who framed my father for treason."
Wen Zixi frowned and shook his head: "I don't know."
The two went to the Dali Temple together.
Prison morgue.
Three bodies were covered with white cloth.
Wen Zixi took the white gloves handed to him by the Dali Temple Secretary and said, "Xiao Qi, do you want to see it? The death is horrible, you might be scared."
For some reason, Su Luo always felt that Wen Zixi understood her very well.
In her previous life, she deliberately sent her brother to study and met Wen Zixi by chance. She respectfully called him "Teacher", and Wen Zixi would just say "hmm" lightly, and they would leave. Su Luo even thought that Wen Zixi might not remember her.
After all, there were countless girls from wealthy families who flirted with him and made soup for him, but she was nothing.
But there was a period of time when Wen Zixi often went to the Su Mansion and tutored his brothers in their studies, and they met several times.
The Master was the dream lover of all the women in the world, and she was no exception. However, she was a loser and was too timid to say a few words every time she saw Wen Zixi.
Su Luo couldn't help but ask: "Master, it seems like you know me very well?"
"No, no." Wen Zixi shook his head.
"What does the Master know about me?"
"I don't know anything." Wen Zixi shook his head, eager to explain, "I didn't know you liked to eat braised lion's head, nor did I know you loved to go to Kuangqilou to listen to opera, and I didn't know you were afraid of corpses, ghosts, and the dark."
After saying this, Wen Zixi slapped his forehead in annoyance.
Looking at Su Luo's calm gaze, Wen Zixi couldn't stand the stare and admitted defeatedly: "Yes, I know."
Finally, he added, "This is what your brothers mentioned when they talked about you. You are their little sister, and they treat you like a treasure, the apple of their eye. Sometimes they even pass notes in class to discuss whether to buy you golden porridge or red date cake after class."
Su Luo's heart felt as if it was pricked by a needle again, and it hurt sharply.
She lowered her eyes, tears instantly covering her eyelashes, and lifted the white cloth with her hands: "I am not afraid of corpses, ghosts, or the dark anymore."
Wen Zixi looked at her calm and restrained appearance, and for some reason, he suddenly felt distressed.
She must have been through a lot to become what she is now.
He remembered that one time, Su Luo and several of her brothers were browsing a bookstore when they saw robbers killing a merchant. She was so scared that she burst into tears on the spot. Her fourth brother Su Xian had to coax her for a long time and bought her a lot of lotus cakes before she calmed down.
But now Su Luo was wearing white gloves, gently lifting the outer clothes of the male corpse, with a calm expression on her face.
She found that the three dead were dressed as Yan people and were pierced through the chest by the same sharp arrow, with the wound in the shape of a plum blossom.
Only someone with superb archery skills can kill three people with one arrow.
Su Luo suppressed her excitement and asked, "Where's the arrow? Is it in the shape of a plum blossom?"
Wen Zixi handed it over with both hands.
Su Luo took the heavy arrow.
The arrow was shaped like a plum blossom, emitting a faint green light. The feathers were not white, but the red feathers of a red-crowned crane. Su Luo lowered her voice excitedly:
"It's most likely my fourth brother! Only my fourth brother uses this special arrow. He guards the border all year round and likes to forge it with the fine iron from Chimo City. Only Chimo iron can emit a green glow!"
Wen Zixi breathed a sigh of relief, and just as the two were about to say something—
It seemed as if a silver blade flashed across her face. Su Luo grabbed Wen Zixi's wrist and retreated ten steps!
Next moment!
A flying knife stabbed towards him! It pierced the wall beside him!
Wen Zixi looked at Su Luo in shock: "You know martial arts?"
"How dare Luo'er disgrace the spirit of a military family? Of course I will."
Su Luo's peach blossom eyes were cold and resolute, reminiscent of her father and brother back then, and Wen Zixi couldn't hide her amazement.
Soon, ten assassins in black rushed in from the surroundings!
The leader, masked, shouted, "You want to die? How dare you investigate an old case!"
"To be honest, Master, I've never killed anyone in my life." The plum blossom arrow circled three times in Su Luo's palm. Her cherry lips curled slightly, and her beautiful eyes gradually became more fierce. "Luo'er will use Fourth Brother's arrow to protect Master. Whoever wants to kill me, I will kill him."
She is the only hope of the General's Mansion.
She is the only support for her mother.
Wen Zixi had never seen Su Luo like this. Besides being shocked, he felt more heartbroken.
If nothing happened to the Su family, Su Luo would just be a carefree lady who would worry about what clothes to wear and which street to go shopping tomorrow.
There was no hostility or even a trace of murderous intent in her beautiful and pure eyes.
Wen Zixi saw Su Luo disappear as fast as a shadow, and his heart instantly rose to his throat!
He couldn't even see Su Luo's movements, but saw a line of blood splashing in the air!
The green arrow grazed the black-clad assassin's throat and he fell down with a "bang"!
It was a fatal arrow.
During the years that Wen Zixi had been acting as the Chief Justice of the Dali Temple, he had never, never seen a woman kill someone with a single arrow.
The next moment, someone came to kill him!
Wen Zixi hurriedly took a few steps back, and Su Luo grabbed Wen Zixi's wrist and dodged sideways.
When their fingertips touched, Wen Zixi's eyes were deep. Su Luo held the arrow and spread her sleeves to protect Wen Zixi: "I won't let anyone hurt Master."
Next moment——
Jian An and others finally realized something was wrong and rushed in.
The two groups of people fought each other.
Five men in black were caught with ropes and forced to kneel in front of Wen Zixi. They vomited black blood one after another, bit the poison hidden between their teeth, and committed suicide!
Su Luo reacted quickly and rushed forward to clamp the jaw of the last person!
It was still too late, he had already committed suicide.
Wen Zixi squatted down, looked through the collars of several people, and shook his head. "There's no clue to their identities on them, which shows how cautious they are. Is this Xiaoqi's first time being hunted?"
"Yes." Su Luo nodded.
Wen Zixi frowned and said, "Me too. I'm investigating your father and brother's case, so I'm being extremely cautious. There's no way any of this would leak out."
"There's only one possibility. These three people were already on a trail. Assuming they were killed by your fourth brother, then the black-clad assassins tonight were planning to kill your fourth brother, but they stumbled upon us. However, your fourth brother is currently missing."
Wen Zixi glanced sharply behind him, "Jian An, quickly go to the Joint Government Office and mobilize the Imperial Guards! Secretly capture the black-clad assassin who just left this place, to prevent any who have escaped from reporting the incident."
"Yes!" Jian An left in a hurry, but saw Mo Jin at the prison gate.
It was already evening, but Mo Jin came striding over with a dozen elite soldiers wearing armor and carrying heavy swords.
Before entering the innermost prison, he smelled a bloody smell. Qin Zhengyu frowned and whispered, "Miss Su, for Master Wen, draw your sword."
The resolute Mo Jin paused for a moment, then stepped into the prison with his jaw tightened.
Su Luo thought there was another assassin coming, so she thrust the arrow forward with her right hand and stretched out her right arm to protect Wen Zixi. Unexpectedly, she met the eyes of Mo Jin who was striding towards her.
Looking at the sharp arrow dripping with blood and pointed at him, Mo Jin asked expressionlessly, "Are you trying to assassinate me?"
Su Luo's pupils widened in surprise! Slowly lowered it!
Mo Jin glanced at the four assassins who had been killed by arrows in the throat, and said in an extremely cold voice: "Did you kill them?"
The sharp arrow fell from her palm with a clang, and Su Luo was stunned.
There are only her and Wen Zixi here.
Wen Zixi doesn't know martial arts, so...
Su Luo's palms were stained with half-dried blood. She was a little at a loss and did not answer.
