Origin Chapter 575: Sniping
After reading the text on the note, Wu Zhongyuan suddenly froze in his heart. In order not to let everyone in the field notice the abnormality and affect the ongoing five-element test, he forcibly restrained himself and did not stand up.
"What do you think?" Wu Zhongyuan looked ahead.
Wu Di took a deep breath, stabilized her emotions, and after a moment of indifference, she said, "This matter is very strange."
"Say." Wu Zhongyuan said.
"This is the news that the bear clan originally planted in Lianshan," Wu Di said. "These people can't get close to the palace. Unless Prince Jiang was attacked in public, they couldn't get it. Such important news."
Wu Di paused here for a while, Wu Zhongyuan raised his brows and tried his best to have a natural expression, "Continue."
Wu Di said, "The message on the cloth is that he was assassinated, and the word "death" means that the details of the information sent back confirm that Prince Jiang has died, but the assassin's assassination, unless he cuts off his head, will seriously injure Prince Jiang, Lian Shan Everyone will also take him to a safe place for treatment, and the meticulous work is nothing more than judging that Prince Jiang has been assassinated."
Hearing Wu Di's words, Wu Zhongyuan nodded slowly. Wu Di's words were indeed true. The matter was indeed strange. The word assassination indicated that the assassin was not fighting Jiang Zheng with great fanfare, but taking advantage of Jiang Zheng's carelessness. As for the sneak attack, since it is a sneak attack, it is unlikely to chop off the head.
Wu Di said again, "Prince Jiang has no motive for rebellion either because of love or reason. I don't think this is a trap."
"Could it be done by a foreigner?" Wu Zhongyuan asked in a low voice.
"I don't know." Wu Di shook his head.
Seeing Wu Zhongyuan turning his head to look west, Wu Di hurriedly said, "For the sake of safety, it is not advisable for the sage to leave Youxiong, but you can send someone to Lianshan to determine the true story."
Wu Zhongyuan thought for a while, then nodded in agreement, "Let Wu Junyue and Jiang Dahua rush to Lianshan immediately, and you and Li Wanzi rush to Jiuli immediately to inform Prince Li of the matter and let him be careful."
Wu Di nodded yes and turned around to go.
"Let Jiang Dahua bring Jiang Nan," Wu Zhongyuan said in a deep voice, "all bring weapons."
Wu Di turned around and nodded, walked down slowly, and asked Wu Junyue and others to stand, explain the change, and then pass on the will.
Hearing Wu Di's words, Wu Junyue and others frowned slightly, while Jiang Dahua's complexion changed drastically. After asking the details, the four of them immediately split up and went to summon imperial mounts everywhere, flying around in low circles, each going east and west.
Jiang Nan went directly from the harem to the back mountain. Everyone in the field knew that the four suddenly left the field, but they didn't know that they had left Youxiong.
Wang Xinran came over from behind and took the rice porridge that Wu Zhongyuan put aside, "What happened?"
"The cattle chief was assassinated." Wu Zhongyuan said.
Wang Xinran was greatly surprised, "How could such a thing happen at this time? You have to be careful, but don't mess around."
Wu Zhongyuan nodded, and he was also worried that this move was the enemy's plan to turn the tiger away from the mountain.
Wang Xinran didn't say anything, and took away the bowl of rice porridge. After such a big change, Wu Zhongyuan was naturally in no mood to eat.
Because he didn't know what happened to the Niu clan, Wu Zhongyuan couldn't avoid all kinds of speculations, such as sitting on a needle felt. If the news was correct, Jiang Zheng was really dead, and the true motive of the Niu clan and the bird clan to attack the bear would be nowhere to be found. You must know that Jiang Zheng and Li Tai's father were the ones who led the army back then. Li Tai's father, his grandfather, had passed away, and Jiang Zheng himself was the only insider left.
From this point of view, the assassination of Jiang Zheng is likely to be the other five, the purpose is to silence.
But if you think about it again, it's not right. If Wudao has the intention to silence it, you can start it in advance. There is no need to pick a critical moment when the bear is testing the warriors in the five elements. Will this matter hide a deeper conspiracy?
If he learned about this and rushed to Lianshan immediately, would Wudao take the opportunity to attack Youxiong?
If you think about it carefully, this possibility is not very likely, because at this time there are not only high-level warriors from the bear tribe, but also high-level warriors from the cattle and bird tribes. Even if he leaves, there are still bears. Ability to resist and defend.
Since it wasn't to tune the tiger away from the mountain, would it be possible to set up an ambush in the mountains and wait for him to fall into the trap?
But after thinking about it, I feel that this possibility is very small. If it is just to calculate him, there is absolutely no need for the opponent to assassinate Jiang Zheng. There are many ways to let him relax his vigilance, and the opponent will be more likely to succeed.
Wu Zhongyuan was in doubt, worry and restlessness all afternoon. Lianshan City was more than 2,000 miles away from Yuxiong, and Wu Junyue and Jiang Dahua had to send back news at the earliest possible hour.
Wu Di and Li Wanzi came back first when it was time for the watch, and everything in Jiuli City was as usual without any abnormality.
After waiting for another half an hour, Wu Junyue returned.
Seeing Wu Zhongyuan, Wu Zhongyuan breathed a sigh of relief, it was getting late at this time, although the test was still going on, he didn't need to sit on the chair all the time, when Wu Junyue approached, he got up and walked to the palace, " What's going on?"
"Prince Jiang was plotted against and died." Wu Junyue said.
"What kind of person is the murderer? Has he ever been caught?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.
Wu Junyue shook her head, "No one has ever seen the assassin. This person cast a hidden weapon from a distance. Prince Jiang was penetrated by the hidden weapon through the Yintang stronghold and died of serious injuries on the spot."
"Through?" Wu Zhongyuan frowned and stopped. The strong point is an acupoint in the back of the head. The human skull is extremely hard, and it is impossible for ordinary hidden weapons to penetrate the human head.
"Yes." Wu Junyue nodded slowly, then raised her finger to point, "The hidden weapon entered from the Yintang, passed through the self-improvement room, and embedded in the stone wall of the palace wall."
"Where is the hidden weapon now?" Wu Zhongyuan asked eagerly.
"I brought it back," Wu Junyue lowered her hand and unbuttoned her waist pouch, opened it, and reached into it to take out a gray object.
Seeing this, Wu Zhongyuan sucked in a breath of cold air. Wu Junyue was holding a deformed warhead. The plating color of this warhead had been worn off by the rifling, and it was gray. Severely deformed.
Wu Zhongyuan is not an expert in this field, so he took the bullet and turned around to the palace gate, "Come here."
He spoke modern language, and Wang Xinran knew that he was calling her, so he stepped forward and raised his hand to greet the two of them.
"What is this?" Wu Zhongyuan handed the warhead to Wang Xinran.
Wang Xinran stretched out his hand to take it, leaned against the brazier and frowned and looked at it. After a careful look, he returned the bullet to Wu Zhongyuan with a very solemn expression on his face, "This is a 10.36 caliber sniper rifle. The bullet is mounted on the m200 sniper. rifle."
"They're here?" Wu Zhongyuan asked in a deep voice.
Wang Xinran nodded slowly.
Wu Zhongyuan took a deep breath to stabilize his emotions. He had discussed this matter with Wang Xinran before. According to Wang Xinran, foreign hostile forces are looking for the kind of black meteorite that can create a space-time array in modern times. It turns out that they did find it, not only found it , and also copied the teleportation formation to send people back.
"You don't have to worry too much. The spiritual stones they collected can only be sent back to one person at most." Wang Xinran said in a low voice.
Wu Zhongyuan didn't answer. It seemed like this kind of opponent, one could kill someone, so why use the second one?
Because Wu Zhongyuan and Wang Xinran were talking in modern language, Wu Junyue gave Wang Xinran a puzzled look, and seeing that the two were no longer talking, Wu Junyue said again, "Your Majesty, according to your subordinates, the perpetrator is still hidden at this time. I never left near Lianshan.”
"Why did you say this?" Wu Zhongyuan tilted his head sideways.
Wu Junyue said, "Prince Jiang Yu Chen was assassinated to death at the right moment, and another guard was assassinated to death from outside the palace at the moment, and just like Prince Jiang, his skull was penetrated by a hidden weapon."
"A guard died?" Wu Zhongyuan asked in confusion.
Wu Junyue nodded, "Just an ordinary guard, just two hours away from the assassination of Prince Jiang."
Wu Zhongyuan didn't answer the call. At this time, people used twelve o'clock to time the clock, and the timekeeping habit was odd-numbered time. Taking the hour of the hour as an example, it is from twenty-three to one in the morning, and noon is from eleven in the morning to the afternoon. One o'clock, while the chenzheng hour and the weizheng hour refer to ten o'clock in the morning and two in the afternoon respectively. This kind of timing habit is unique to modern people, especially Westerners, who are more accustomed to timing with even numbers.
Wu Junyue looked at Wu Zhongyuan with questioning eyes, Wu Zhongyuan glanced at her, then turned to look at Wang Xinran.
Wang Xinran looked directly at Wu Zhongyuan, and after a while said in a deep voice, "Send me there..."
