"It seems that the bow in the assassin's hand is definitely a cold iron ox horn bow." Zhang Liang said thoughtfully, "What Wang Jie said is basically the same as what the King of Han saw."
"What agrees?"
Li Xiao's expression changed, and he asked with a frown.
Zhang Liang replied: "Your Highness does not know. Before the king of Han fell into a coma, he also saw the bow in the assassin's hand. The appearance of the bow depicted in it is roughly the same as that of the cold iron ox horn bow."
Speaking of this, Zhang Liang rolled his eyes and asked, "Is there something wrong?"
"No, just a random question." Li Xiao said calmly.
But at this time, his heart set off a turbulent sea.
He knew that those assassins were trained by Li Ke.
But the cold iron ox horn bow was brought in by Chang Sun Chong.
The eldest grandson family that Changsun Chong belongs to belongs to the prince line.
It is such a serious crime to quietly take away the cold iron ox horn bow, and the actions must be extremely secretive.
Therefore, it is impossible for the eldest grandson's family to tell anyone.
And the master next to Chang Sun Chong, together with the cold iron ox horn bow, was captured by him in the paddock.
May I ask, where did Li Ke learn about the Hantie ox horn bow?
And Li Xiao himself said that Wang Qingxue saw the assassin holding a cold iron ox horn bow, but it was just fabricated, and the purpose was to put blame on the eldest grandson's family.
But from what Wang Qingxue reported, the assassin only brought crossbow arrows, not a big bow.
This was also confirmed by Xue Rengui.
Then why did Li Ke tell such a lie?
Is it...
Li Ke also learned about Han Tie's horned bow in advance?
Use this to put the blame on the eldest grandson's family, and put the blame on the prince?
Here comes the question.
Where did Li Ke learn that Han Tie's horns had entered the paddock?
Obviously, it is impossible for the eldest grandson's family to tell Li Ke about the matter and help Li Ke to frame his family.
That would be the prince?
Li Xiao shook his head.
This is obviously impossible.
The eldest grandson's family has a deep influence in the court.
It is impossible for the prince to give up this help.
The more Li Xiao thought about it, the more confused he became.
……
Back to camp.
Li Xiao entered his tent.
After a while, Lu Li entered the door.
"Your Highness, the personal guard of the King of Han, quietly went to the Changsun Mansion last night."
Chapter 246: Showdown
"what?!"
Li Ke's personal guard quietly went to the Changsun Mansion.
Hearing this news, Li Xiao was extremely shocked.
It is well known that the eldest grandson Wuji belongs to the lineage of the prince.
But why did Changsun Wuji have a secret relationship with Li Ke?
"In this way, Li Ke learned about the whereabouts of Han Tie Niu Horn Bow from Changsun Wuji..."
Li Xiao frowned, and murmured: "But why did you lie again to frame Changsun Wuji?"
"Is the two of them a cooperative relationship, or did Li Ke abandon the pawn Changsun Wuji?"
"Changsun Wuji is also an old fox, how could he be used by Li Ke?"
Thinking of this, Li Xiao looked at Lu Li and asked, "What do you think?"
"It's too complicated, and my subordinates are dull." Lu Li shook his head lightly.
Li Xiao suddenly fell silent.
After a while, he stood up and said, "I'll go find him, and you continue to pay attention to Wei Zheng's movements."
"Yes!"
……
In Li Ke's tent.
"Your Highness, King Yue is here, and he said he wants to change your medicine."
Outside the door, the guard's voice sounded.
Li Ke opened his eyes, thought for a while, and said, "Let him in!"
"Third brother, how is your injury?"
Li Xiao carried the medicine box into the tent and greeted with concern.
"Thanks to Brother Xiao's miraculous medical skills, I was brought back to life, and now I'm fine. I just need to rest for a while to recover."
While speaking, Li Ke showed a sincere smile.
Li Xiao let out a long breath: "Then I can rest assured."
"Third Brother owes you my life." Li Ke said.
Li Xiao waved his hands: "Why are you talking about this, it's just a matter of raising your hand, you can owe anything."
Li Ke rolled his eyes: "Brother Xiao, this trip is not just to see the third brother's injury, right?"
Li Xiao's expression changed: "I heard that third brother saw the assassin holding a cold iron ox horn bow in his hand, is this true?"
"I'm not sure, it's just somewhat similar." Li Ke's eyes flickered, and he continued, "Why do you ask this question?"
Li Xiao looked at Li Ke calmly: "Because my people also saw this bow in the assassin's hand."
"Oh?" A strange look flashed in Li Ke's eyes, "Are you sure?"
The two looked directly at each other without changing their expressions.
"Hehe...not sure, but they are somewhat similar."
Li Xiao suddenly laughed, and continued: "Let me help third brother sit up, otherwise it will be inconvenient to change the medicine."
"Alright."
Li Ke nodded.
Li Xiao helped Li Ke sit up slowly, and gently removed the gauze.
At this time, Li Ke suddenly asked: "Brother Xiao, I heard that Xue Rengui, who is under your sect, was also captured by the assassin, but has he been rescued?"
Li Xiao paused for a moment, then continued, with a smile, softly said: "I have been rescued."
"Oh?" Li Ke asked again, "What about the fourth child?"
"Never seen."
Then the two fell into silence.
Li Xiao removed all the gauze, looked at the shocking wound on Li Ke's chest, and sighed: "Such a serious injury must be very painful, right?"
But Li Ke said: "I passed out at the time, but I didn't feel any pain."
"However, I heard that several imperial physicians were helpless, but they were cured by Brother Xiao. With Brother Xiao's medical skills, he is enough to be called a master of medicine."
Hearing this, Li Xiao smiled faintly: "It's also my luck. This is all because of God's favor for the third brother. Even if I didn't take action, the third brother must be fine."
Assassinate himself, how could he not stay behind?
He didn't have to guess at all.
Hearing this, Li Ke's eyes lit up, and he slowly turned his head to stare at Li Xiao's eyes.
"Brother Xiao seems to have something to say."
Li Xiao looked straight into Li Ke's eyes, and said slowly, "It's you, third brother."
Li Ke looked calmly: "As expected, you already know."
"You don't seem surprised."
"Just now..." Li Ke looked ahead and said slowly, "You said that Xue Rengui was rescued from the underground palace, but the number of people returning to the camp has not changed. There must be many people hiding in the paddock!"
"Why did you do this? You were not like this before. Did someone tell you something?"
Speaking of this, Li Ke's eyes showed a hint of reminiscence, and he said slowly: "Brother Xiao, do you still remember what you said before?"
Li Xiao was taken aback: "What are you talking about?"
"Dead wood can also rejuvenate, and dead wood can also be carved with skillful hands, turning decay into magic..."
After a pause, a smile appeared on the corner of Li Ke's mouth: "That day, after Brother Xiao finished saying these words, he was so angry that Master was half dead. The past is vivid in my memory, but unfortunately... I can't go back."
ha?
Li Xiao: "???"
This guy won't wake up after listening to his words!
This TM...
He said this at the time just to annoy Lu Deming, didn't he think so much at all, okay?
Who would have thought that Li Ke would always remember it in his heart.
"Brother Xiao, your words contain a great way. I went back and savored it carefully, and then I suddenly realized..."
Li Ke's eyes were empty, and he said slowly: "In terms of martial arts talent, I am not as good as the boss."
"I'm not as good as the boss when it comes to scheming the city."
"In terms of seniority, he is the elder brother, so he should inherit the position as a matter of course."
"Before him, I am nothing."
"It was only later that I figured out, why should I compare with him?"
"Machinery is not enough, I will find a man of power and wisdom."
"If you are not talented in martial arts, I will find a martial arts master. If one is not enough, then ten or a hundred!"
"In this world, there is no shortage of ambitious people. As long as I am the King of Han, as long as I have the opportunity to rise to the throne, they will be willing to help me."
"Whether it's for power or money, in short, as long as they satisfy their desires, they can satisfy my desires."
"Brother Xiao..." At this point, Li Ke looked at Li Xiao with a complicated expression, "What is your desire?"
"Wait!" Li Xiao had a strange expression on his face, "What do you say has something to do with what I said?"
"Is it okay? It seems that you still haven't understood it, brother Xiao."
Li Xiao looked helpless: "It's clear that you over-interpreted it, okay?"
"Brother Xiao, what is your desire?"
Li Ke stared closely at Li Xiao's eyes, and said in a deep voice, "Help me! We two brothers, let's take a look at the scenery on that high place together."
"My wish is that I don't want to deal with people like you, tired!"
"Brother Xiao, you are so naive." Li Ke slowly shook his head, "Born in the royal family, you are destined to die in this way. You either get everything or lose everything. You have no choice."
