The psychic Xi ​​Lan

Chapter 209
All eyes were on the green skin monster, not knowing how it would choose.

This stalemate lasted for a long time, no one knew what the green skin monster was thinking, and Xi Lan had lost the confidence that it would go with them.

However, the green skin monster let out a low sound and nodded slightly to her.

Everyone was shocked and surprised that this monster, which can no longer be called a human, actually obeyed the words of the princess?

Only Xi Lan breathed a sigh of relief, she turned her head and glanced at Li Huai, but the other party was not as relaxed as she was, with her sword eyebrows tightly frowned, faintly worried.

There are still seven or eight days to go to the western region. How can they go on the road with such a monster who is neither human nor ghost?There will be no mistakes in choosing shops, accommodation and transportation along the way?

What's also disturbing is that everyone else in the team knows that this monster is very ferocious, and they have to get along with this monster every day, won't it make everyone panic?
It's even unknown whether a way to turn this monster back into a human can be found!
Therefore, they had to change the carriage they were riding in to carry the green-skinned monster.

"A monster! I don't know what your name was before, I will call you a monster from now on!"

The afternoon sun shone in from obliquely above the valley.

It happened to land on the strange skin of the green skin monster, because the accompanying military doctor was afraid, so far, the arrow that stabbed him has not been pulled out from it.

Ah Kuai saw Xi Lan approaching, and his eyes fell on the medicine box in her hand.

"If you don't answer, I'll take it as your agreement!" After she finished speaking tentatively, she put the medicine box aside.

"Xi Lan!" Li Huai immediately brought someone over and replaced her softly behind him.

She looked back and saw Yan Ming was carrying a thick iron chain in his hand.

Xi Lan's heart tightened, she knew what the iron chain was used for without asking.

"This king must be responsible for the safety of everyone in the team!"

She nodded, no matter how much she believed that the monster had no malice, but what if the others didn't believe it?

To shut others up, you have to do it yourself.

Taking a deep breath, she forced herself to give Ah Guai an ugly smile.

"A monster..."

But before her voice finished, Ah Guai had already stretched out two thick and long hands to her!

The others felt a little bit unbearable, but they couldn't bear it anymore. No one knew how this monster came here, let alone whether he would go mad for no reason, killing innocent people indiscriminately among the royal guards just like killing those killers.

Yan Ming walked over and locked the iron chain on his hands and feet.

After doing all this, Xi Lan decided to help Ah Kuai pull out the arrow.

"My king will help you!"

Xi Lan looked back and nodded in relief.

In fact, she was very grateful to Li Huai from the bottom of her heart, because anyone else would not agree to keep Ah Guai by her side.

Li Huai is a person who sticks to the rules, but every time as long as she insists, he will helplessly satisfy all her unreasonable demands.

So she was actually very afraid in her heart, afraid that the monster would really be like other people worried, it would be a hidden danger and cause an irreparable situation.

Later, the two of them helped Aguai pull out the two arrowheads and the short dagger from his body. Xi Lan wrapped the arrowheads in a white cloth and put them in a cloth bag.

"I don't know if these medicines have any effect on him!"

Li Huai sprinkled the golden sore medicine on the wound of the monster, tied it with a medical cloth, and locked him in the carriage.

"Li Huai, take this and find the owner of the arrow!" Finally, Xi Lan took out the two arrows from her sleeve and handed them to Li Huai.

Li Huai took it with his head down, as smart as he was, he knew what she meant without asking anything.

"Do you suspect that the archers are the same person? And they have other motives?"

Xi Lan nodded in agreement.

"If I'm not mistaken, the first arrow was originally going to shoot me, but the monster protected me, and the man saw that he missed it, so he changed his strategy. He planned to provoke the monster. If he succeeded at that time, How many people we will lose, who knows?"

In fact, in Li Huai's memory, he also had doubts about the timing of the second arrow, but all the way back, his mind was on another matter.

"Both the bows and arrows of Wang Fuwei and Shenlong Army are uniformly equipped. It is difficult to see who will shoot the arrow just by looking at it like this!" Then, he added extra: "However, it should not be difficult to find the owner of this arrow." !"

As long as you find out all the people who shot arrows in the morning and question them one by one, you will definitely find out the clues.

Immediately, Li Huai asked Yan Ming to go down to investigate, and in less than half a stick of incense, ten members of the Wangfu Guards and 12 members of the Shenlong Army stood in front of them.

Li Huai took out the two arrows and placed them in front of these people, and asked coldly, "Whose arrows belong to them?"

No one answered.

Li Huai walked over and asked, "How many arrows did you shoot this morning?"

"One!"

"One!"

"One..."

After asking everyone, everyone's answer is the same.

Because when the situation was critical in the morning, there was only one volley of arrows, and that wave was just broken up by Ah Kuai, and no one shot.

At this time, Qin Han came back panting. They received the order and immediately rushed back to the cave where the incident occurred, and picked up the broken arrows, a total of 21 arrows.

With 22 people, plus the two arrows Li Huai has in hand, there is no problem with the number of people shooting arrows. Therefore, among the 22 people, one of them must be lying.

"Now come out and admit it yourself, this king can let you live and go back to report the good news to the person who sent you, but if you want to wait for this king to find you out personally, you will definitely die!"

As soon as these words fell, the atmosphere at the scene was filled with menacing aura.

"Okay! Check their quiver!" Li Huai gave Qin Han an order in a cold voice when no one came forward.

The people of Qin Han immediately took people to count the number of arrows in the quiver.

Starting from the capital, each person was equipped with 29 bows and arrows. They did not encounter any danger during this journey, so they naturally had no chance to use arrows. Therefore, they should have [-] bows and arrows in their quiver at the moment.

He first counted ten Wangfu guards, and their bows and arrows are naturally fine, the reason why they are called here is just a show to convince the audience.

Then, he went to count the number of bows and arrows of the Shenlong Army. The first few were all fine. When he counted to the sixth man, there were only 28 arrows left in his quiver!

"Take him down!" Qin Han gave an order, and two agile Wangfu guards jumped up and put the man on the ground.

"It's not me, my lord! My lord, I was framed! Those two arrows are definitely not mine!" The man did not resist, but shouted for himself on the ground hoarsely!

"The evidence is convincing, how dare you argue?" Li Huai watched the scene coldly without saying a word. This was said strictly.

"My lord!" At this time, Guo Mengjun, the captain of Shenlong Lord, came forward.

"Say!"

"Just like this, it is judged that he is a backstabber, I'm afraid he is a bit hasty!" This Guo Mengjun is also a straightforward person, and he doesn't flatter Li Huai just because he is in a high position. This is what makes Li Huai respect him a lot Chia.

His eyes lightly shifted to the opponent's face, and he replied after a while: "Guo Duwei is right, the archery skills in this quiver alone really cannot prove that this person is the one who shoots in the back!"

Since the man had shot in the dark, it is not impossible to find a chance to steal arrows from other people's quiver after he came back.

Guo Duwei had heard that Li Huai Dadu was a wise master, and he was very pleased to hear this, so he immediately squatted down and asked: "Wang Wei, why don't you hurry up and tell me, after you came back from the mountain, who has moved?" Your quiver?"

Seeing this, they could all guess that Guo Mengjun trusted Wang Wei, but in fact, this Wang Wei was Guo Mengjun's confidant.

"When I came back, I knocked my foot on a rock. Liao Hu...had offered to help me carry my quiver and long sword!"

As soon as he heard his words, another tall man in the Dragon Army came out to clarify.

"Wang Wei, I'm kind enough to help you carry your quiver. Why do you say that?"

Wang Wei also had no choice, his life was hanging by a thread at this moment, and he really couldn't think of anyone else approaching his quiver!
"My lord, Guo Duwei, my subordinates only helped him carry his quiver and long sword, and absolutely did not do anything to his quiver. If one of his subordinates speaks half a lie, he will definitely be hit by thunder!"

Seeing this, Guo Mengjun also had a difficult time. Both Wang Wei and Liao Hu are trusted by his subordinates. In his opinion, they are neither.

But in the Shenlong Army, there is a murderer who stabbed in the back, and it really exists, so who is it?
At this time, Long Xilan, who had not spoken all this time, came out.

"They are indeed not the murderers who stabbed in the back, the murderer is someone else!"

As soon as her voice came out, everyone except Li Huai showed surprise.

"Oh? Did the princess discover something?"

Xi Lan stepped over, looked at the faces of each of the Shenlong soldiers with a cold expression, and finally stopped in front of one of them.

"The murderer is you!"

The man frowned, lowered his head slightly, and denied: "All the arrows of my subordinates are in the quiver, how can the princess judge the crime of my subordinates with just one sentence?"

"Who told you that this princess only relies on such a sentence?" She raised her eyebrows, her eyes were cold and stern.

"From the very beginning, you have been calmer than everyone here. Of course, this doesn't mean anything. Even the quiver in front of you is fine, but it's a pity that this quiver is not yours!"

"What did you say?" The man's expression changed after hearing her words.

"In the army surrounded by eyes, it is too difficult to take out the arrows from other people's quiver and put them into your own, without being discovered, and in terms of time, it is also impossible to exchange arrows for the quiver directly. Come here to compare? So this quiver is not yours, but Wang Wei's!"

As soon as her voice fell, Wang Wei, who was pressed to the ground, seemed to be grabbing a life-saving straw. He said, "There is a word Wei on the right side of my quiver!"

After hearing this, Guo Mengjun came over in person immediately, picked up the man's quiver to check, and sure enough, he saw the word 'Wei' on it!

"Fu Haitao, this is not your quiver at all, what else can you say?"

The man's eyes were obviously a little flustered, but he still argued: "I am the one who was wronged, this is impossible! It is absolutely impossible that I am!"

At this moment, Liao Hu also seemed to remember something, he came out and pointed to Fu Haitao's face and said: "It's him who helped me fetch water when I was going down the mountain. The quiver was put down for a moment!"

Now, it all makes sense!

Fu Haitao saw that he had no room to quibble, so he knelt down immediately, and begged Li Huai beside him, "My lord, I didn't mean it, but I just saw that monster looks ferocious and terrifying, so I just..."

Everyone thought that he was sincerely repenting, but who would have thought that while he was talking, he suddenly pulled out the bow and arrow from the quiver on the ground and attacked Xi Lan.
