Chapter 276 Parting Ways 1
"Cold arrows?" Murong Lanying frowned slightly, and asked in a deep voice, "Did you find those cold arrows?"

The subordinate nodded, handed the cold arrows he picked up to Murong Lanying, and said respectfully: "Princess, the origin of those cold arrows is unknown, and I suspect that there are still a group of people hiding in the woods, trying to hunt down the King of Luoyang, so Those bloodstains are probably left by the injured Luoyang King!"

"What? Xiao Jingyao was injured?" Murong Lanying, who was originally calm, suddenly jumped up when she heard this, and pulled the subordinate who came to report, and asked coldly: "Tell me more about what you found. !"

"Yes..." The subordinate didn't expect the princess to be so excited, and quickly and meticulously explained the clues he found in the woods.

As for Murong Lanying, she also recovered her previous composure. She nodded and said, "If Xiao Jingyao is injured, he won't go far! Lan Qing, send a group of people near the forest Search for Xiao Jingyao's whereabouts!"

The subordinate named Lan Qing immediately handed over his hands and led away with the best subordinates.

After Murong Lanying finished giving her orders, she lowered her head to look at the cold arrow in her hand, and looked carefully at it by the light of the fire, trying to see who actually shot it!
There is no mark on the arrow. It seems that the mastermind behind this scene is quite shrewd. He actually knows how to remove the mark on the arrow so as not to be identified!
It's just the shape of the arrow, but it can be recognized that the person who released the cold arrow was neither from Houyan, nor from the Northern Wei Dynasty, but from the Dayin Dynasty!

She has been in the military camp and also been on the battlefield. She is very familiar with the weapons used by various countries. Only the Dayin Dynasty can forge arrows like this!
Murong Lanying suddenly clenched the arrow in her hand, her brows furrowed tighter and tighter.It seems that things are still far beyond her imagination and calculations, and they are becoming more and more complicated...

She came to Dayin on this trip just to wait for an opportunity to capture Luoyang King Xiao Jingyao and use it as a hostage to negotiate with Emperor Dayin. Unexpectedly, someone in the Dayin Dynasty would actually have murderous intentions for their Luoyang King!
If their plot was known this time, and Xiao Jingyao was killed by an arrow, all the blame would only be pointed at their Houyan, and no one would suspect anything else!
"What a poisonous move!" Murong Lanying sneered, bowed her head in thought for a moment, put away the cold arrow in her hand, and made another plan.

Even if she failed to make Xiao Jingyao a hostage of Houyan this time, these actions of assassinating Xiao Jingyao were enough to give her the opportunity to negotiate with the Dayin Dynasty again!
*************
The sky is gradually getting brighter, the morning mist is gradually rising, and the sound of cock crowing in the distance reaches the ears, waking up the people who are still sleeping.

Wei Zijin only heard the low sound of horseshoes, and suddenly opened his eyes, and found that he was leaning against the rock wall of the cave and fell asleep, with a pile of soft straw on his back, and Xiao Jingyao's outer robe was still covering his body. Missing Xiao Jingyao and Zhuifeng, I couldn't help feeling tense.

The faint smell of blood on the outer robe had disappeared after a night, and there was still a trace of body temperature on it, which meant that Xiao Jingyao should not have gone far by chasing the wind.

Wei Zijin rubbed his eyes and was fully awake. He stood up and walked out of the cave to look around. Only then did he realize that they ran all the way last night, crossed the stream, and came to the foot of a mountain not far from the village.

She looked around for a week, but she didn't see Xiao Jingyao's figure, and felt a little disappointed.
