National color raw owl

Three knives and four guns break the sky bow!

Among the eight masters of the imperial court, Po Tian ranks first.

With a bow in white clothes and invincible arrows, Chu Huan's first thought of such a character was naturally the famous Xuanyuan Shao, the brave Xuanyuan Shao who started to fight in the battlefield when he was a teenager and was the first to climb to the top of Luo'an capital.

Xuanyuan Shao became famous at a young age, and the world knows that his archery skills are superb, but there are very few people who have really seen his archery skills.

It stands to reason that such a character should be extremely powerful and will not be noticed all the time.

But this is not the case.

After the founding of the country, Xuanyuan Shao was not sent out to fight any more, but has always been responsible for guarding the palace. Although this duty is very important, it is always ignored by people sometimes. But he is very low-key. He has been in Beijing for many years, but he seldom interacts with officials in Beijing.

The white-haired man with his hands behind his back, walked a few steps towards this side, and gradually approached, but Chu Huan finally saw it clearly. The white-haired man suspected to be Xuanyuan Shao was about 35 or six years old. He was in his prime, with sharp edges and corners. His tough face made him look full of masculinity, there was no beard on his lips, but there was a tuft of white beards under his lips, and the hair on his head was like snow. When a gust of wind passed, the white hair fluttered. very elegant.

At this time, Chu Huan already knew that this white-haired man was so young but had gray hair all over his head.

"Good martial arts!" The white-haired man swept across the corpses that Chu Huan hacked, and said calmly, "If you come a few steps later, it will be difficult to see your excellency's sharp kung fu!"

Chu Huan had already cupped his hands and said, "If I hadn't met these assassins, I'm afraid it would be very difficult for me to see General Xuanyuan's peerless archery skills tonight."

The white-haired man smiled and said, "So you know who I am."

"Even if you don't know the general, but the general's arrow skills are no longer second-guessing. If the general shoots an arrow, no one will know the identity of General Xuanyuan."

The white-haired man smiled and said: "I'm Xuanyuan Shao, you know, if your martial arts are not good enough, you may become my scapegoat."

Chu Huan said: "So these assassins are here to assassinate General Xuanyuan?"

"Yes." The white-haired man nodded and said, "Many people miss me dead."

Chu Huan sighed: "Some people want General Xuanyuan to die, but the general has enough capital to be safe and sound. On the contrary, if those who want me to die really work hard, I may die on the spot."

"Which Yamen are you from?" Xuanyuan Shao looked Chu Huan up and down.

Chu Huan cupped his hands and said, "The lower official is the head of the household department, Chu Huan!"

"Chu Huan?" Xuanyuan Shao thought for a moment, then smiled suddenly: "Chu Huan who raised his prestige in the Iron Blood Garden and beat up Dou Yi?"

Chu Huan said awkwardly: "The lower official is actually very strange. Does the whole capital know that the lower official beat Dou Yi?"

Xuanyuan Shao laughed and said, "It's not necessarily a bad thing to be famous." Turning his head, he ordered his groom: "Go and call the people from the Ministry of Punishment to come over and clean up this place. Tell them, don't make a big deal out of it, just for the sake of yourself. They are just future demons, so there is no need to cause trouble in the city."

The coachman said yes.

Chu Huan wondered: "The general knows where these people are from?"

"I don't bother to know where it came from, but I know a thing or two about why I came here." Xuanyuan Shao said lightly.

Chu Huan nodded slightly, but it was difficult to ask.

Xuanyuan Shao said with a smile: "You almost became a scapegoat because of this, don't you want to know why these people came here?"

Chu Huan said: "It seems to be a secret matter, and the lower officials dare not ask. And even if the lower officials know, it may not be of much use."

"You know that if it works, I don't need to let you know." Xuanyuan Shao said calmly, "If it were me, I would almost die because of it. No matter what the result is, I still hope to know some reasons."

Chu Huan smiled, but did not speak.

Xuanyuan Shao suddenly stretched out his hand and opened his palm, holding something on top of his palm. When Chu Huan saw the thing, he was quite surprised, but he tried his best to maintain his composure on the face.

In Xuanyuan Shao's palm is a stone.

This is an incomparably smooth stone, smaller than an egg, and oval in shape. The color of the stone is actually pure white, even whiter than Xuanyuan Shao's white hair, extremely conspicuous.

Under the moonlight, one can vaguely see that the surface of this stone is covered with thin black lines, criss-crossing, just like the meridians of the human body.

This is not the first time Chu Huan has seen this kind of stone.

This stone is almost exactly the same as the one he collected in the outskirts of Liujia Village, there is no difference in shape or size, even the texture on the surface of the stone is so similar, if it is not because this stone is pure white Chu Huan even thought that the stone in Xuanyuan Shao's hand was the one he kept in his collection.

The stone he got from Lin Dai'er was fiery red, it looked as if it was covered with blood, and it seemed to have been calcined by a raging fire, but the color of the stone in Xuanyuan Shao's hand was completely Different, white and bright as snow.

But Chu Huan was very sure in his heart that if there were no accidents, the two strange rocks, one red and one white, must be related in some way.

"This is?" Chu Huan frowned, "General Xuanyuan, is this a stone?"

"It's a stone, but it's a stone, because whether it looks or feels, it's just a stone, nothing more than a stone with a better quality." Xuanyuan Shao said slowly: "It doesn't matter if it's not a stone. , because since I got this stone, several groups of assassins have come to assassinate this general. Their purpose is for this stone. It will be hard for Ben to believe that if this is just an ordinary stone, there will be so many assassins No matter your life, come to seize it."

Chu Huan wondered: "General Xuanyuan, what do you mean to say that the group of assassins ambushed here tonight, intending to assassinate, and their purpose is just to get a stone?"

Xuanyuan Shao nodded slightly, handed over the white stone, and said, "Touch and take a look, can you see anything strange about this stone?"

Chu Huan hesitated for a moment. Seeing that Xuanyuan Shao had brought the white stone to him, he cupped his hands, took it carefully, and held it in his palm. The feeling of incomparable smoothness was very familiar.

Except for high-quality jade, ordinary stones, no matter how smooth they are, will still have stone edges.

But this stone is obviously not jade. If we really want to compare it, I am afraid that the best jade cannot be smoother than this stone. This stone seems to be so natural, without any trace of carving or polishing , as it has existed in the world in this form since ancient times.

Chu Huan clearly remembered that when he held the red stone he got in his hand, he would feel very warm. He would even get hot after holding it for a long time, but the feeling of this stone was completely opposite. When the stone was first used, there was a cool feeling, and this cold feeling became more and more obvious.

Chu Huan seemed to be observing carefully, but in his heart he was puzzled and full of doubts.

Although Chu Huan couldn't see through the mystery of the red stone at the beginning, he knew that the stone was by no means simple, and there might be some secret hidden in it, but today he saw the second strange stone in Xuanyuan Shao's hand very suddenly. Shi, he couldn't figure out what was the key to it for a while.

Chu Huan still remembered that when he accompanied Lin Lang to Jingci Nunnery to worship Buddha, he discovered that there was a Heavenly King Hall in the nunnery, and the shape and appearance of the red stone seemed to be somewhat similar to the Dharma Eye on the Heavenly King's crown.

He didn't know how to explain this.

"Master Chu, can you see what's weird?" Xuanyuan Shao stood calmly with his hands behind his back, staring at Chu Huan with a look of anticipation on his face, as if he really hoped that Chu Huan could also see the stone. of weirdness.

Chu Huan looked at it carefully, and finally returned it with both hands, and said with surprise: "General Xuanyuan, this stone seems to be a treasure!"

"Oh?" Xuanyuan Shao's eyes lit up, and he asked, "How did you see that?"

Chu Huan said: "When Xiaguan held it in his hand, he felt that the stone was extremely cold. Xiaguan thought in his heart, if it was a hot summer, with this stone in his heart, would his body be much cooler? If so , this stone is really a treasure to cool off the heat.”

Xuanyuan Shao sighed, a little disappointed, staring at Chu Huan and asked: "Master Chu only has such a discovery?"

Chu Huan showed shame, shook his head and smiled wryly: "I am a dull official, and I also think this kind of stone is very rare, but I really can't see what it can do besides relieving the heat? Well, maybe it is for viewing. Rare is more expensive, and rare things always have their value.”

Xuanyuan Shao put away the white strange stone, shook his head and said: "Actually, when I first got this stone, I thought it was nothing more than an ordinary thing, but some people with unknown origins tried to assassinate this general several times, and the previous one was even worse. Knowing from an assassin that they wanted to get this strange rock, this general felt that this rock might be quite unusual. They went on and on and lost more than a dozen lives. Is it just for such a person who can only cool off the heat? It’s just a strange rock?”

Chu Huan frowned and said, "It really doesn't make sense." Then he asked: "General Xuanyuan, I dare to ask, why didn't the general arrest those people and torture them to extract confessions? At least he should know their origins."

Xuanyuan Shao shook his head, looking a little tired: "These people are just following orders, they just take money and do things for others, and they don't even know who hired them. After several interrogations, there is no clue." He put his hands behind his back, looked up at the bright moon in the sky, and said with a confused face: "That man is so cautious, he is not an ordinary person, I really want to know who is going to take this strange stone from me, they want to take it What is the purpose of this strange rock?"
