Not only did he shoot the flag far, but it also landed in a patch of grass. There were thorns blocking the way in that direction, and the grass was very dense.
The flag is not very big, so it is a bit difficult to find it in a short time.
Of course, it is not ruled out that Wu Yezhi is lucky.
Wu Yezhi felt a little embarrassed by Xiao Jingyun's words. He looked to the other side and saw that the prince's man had an ugly face. He seemed to be in pain but was struggling hard, trying not to fall behind.
He knew what was going on, and even he himself had not expected that His Royal Highness Prince Rui would allow someone to tamper with the bow.
There is a very small needle hidden inside this bow. The mechanism is not obvious and is even easy to dismantle. After the needle is shot out, there is almost no evidence left.
As for the needle injected into the other person's body...there is no evidence, so how can it be said that it was done by King Rui's men?
Even the bow in his hand had problems.
It's just that he's useless.
He is the same age as Xiao Jingyun.
Every year, there are young men in the capital who show their talents and become famous. Back then, he and Xiao Jingyun were known as two of the Seven Sons of the Capital. They had similar interests and personalities, and were almost equally famous.
But later, after Xiao Jingyun passed the imperial examination, he honestly became an official of medium status, gradually faded into obscurity, and disappeared from the reputation of being a so-called talented scholar.
Although he also had a leisurely position, his reputation became more and more famous because he often accompanied His Royal Highness Prince Rui on work.
At this time, Xiao Jingyun had discovered the hidden weapon, which made him feel a little embarrassed.
I just felt that my bow suddenly became much hotter.
But he was Prince Rui's study companion and even his cousin, so he couldn't explain why he hadn't known about Prince Rui's arrangements before...
Moreover, this matter concerns the reputation of King Rui, so he cannot reveal the trick on this bow to anyone...
Xiao Jingyun left quickly and rode his horse to hunt. Looking at the high-spirited, decisive and upright figure behind him, Wu Yezhi was a little unable to raise his head.
King Rui's warriors also rushed over, and Wu Yezhi could only bite the bullet and say, "The flag is over there. You guys are responsible for finding it, and I will hunt the beast."
That's all we can do.
But his fighting spirit had faded, and he had no fighting spirit at all. He could already foresee that he would lose.
The more this happens, the worse the performance.
As time passed, the competition ended.
Prince Rui already knew what was going on, and now he looked even more unhappy. However, he could be more patient with Wu Yezhi: "What happened just now?"
Wu Yezhi whispered twice in King Rui's ear, roughly telling him about how Xiao Jingyun was angry and embarrassed because he discovered the hidden weapon in the bow.
When Prince Rui heard this, he looked at Xiao Jingyun deeply.
It would be a bad idea to cause trouble for him throwing the flag, otherwise everyone would lose face.
"Lord Xiao hunted fifty-five beasts... Lord Wu... failed to capture the flag." The captain of the guards didn't even need to count the prey on Prince Rui's side.
King Rui endured it silently and was very angry, but he had already lost, so what else could he do?
He had no choice but to admit defeat: "I didn't expect that inviting the two brothers from the Xiao family today would actually benefit my brother, the Crown Prince. Well, it seems that I am not so lucky. I will give the supervision of this case to my brother. However... my brother is the Crown Prince, the foundation of the country, how can he go to such a far place as Jiangding City? How about this, I recommend a few people to my brother. I guarantee that they are reliable, so that my brother will not be confused about what to do."
Everyone knows that the prince has no one available.
As a hostage returning to the court, even though he has the support of many old ministers, I am afraid that there are not many confidants whom he can truly rely on.
The person King Rui wanted to recommend was naturally Wu Yezhi.
He was not confident in leaving the Wu family's affairs to others.
"No need. I think Lord Xiao is a very good person. I will suggest to my father that Lord Xiao be sent to Jiangding City to investigate the case of Wu Deshen's brutal killing of civilians!"
