Ji Yannuo and King Chu were hit by arrows, but their injuries were not serious.
Ye Fuxun could see a hint of solemnity in everyone's expressions.
She walked forward with a questioning look in her eyes. "Your Highness?"
Ji Yannuo took the wine from her hand with a smile and drank it down. He lowered his voice and said, "Let's talk about it when we get back."
The army once again captured a city, and the people sang and celebrated.
Ye Fuxun followed Ji Yannuo back to his residence, and Eunuch Xu led the doctor over to examine Ji Yannuo's wounds.
"The arrow was shot while fighting with the enemy last night," Ye Fuxun pulled Eunuch Xu aside, listened to her inquiry, and whispered, "the arrow came from behind His Highness, and hit the shoulder blade exactly."
In addition to the armor, Ji Yannuo wore soft armor that was invulnerable to swords. The edge of the soft armor was right near the shoulder blades.
Although the arrow was accurate, it did not hit the vital point, so it was not seriously injured.
Ye Fuxun took a breath: "Shooted from behind? Wouldn't that be..."
She thought of the unusually solemn expressions of the generals at the city gate, and suddenly felt enlightened.
"Did the arrow struck by the King of Chu also come from behind?"
Eunuch Xu nodded.
The arrow wound did not come from the enemy, but from our own side.
This means that there are either enemy spies in the Yan army, or someone in the Yan country wants to take advantage of the war to kill Ji Yannuo and the King of Chu.
Ye Fuxun's eyes flashed: "Is King Qin injured?"
Eunuch Xu shook his head: "During the battle, King Qin was not far behind His Highness and King Chu."
Ye Fuxun frowned slightly, remembering that King Qin only caught up with the army after they set off. Doesn't that mean that King Qin is the most suspicious?
"I'm going to see His Highness."
Ye Fuxun turned around and entered the back room. At that time, Ji Yannuo had already changed the wound medicine and had a bandage tied on his body.
"Your Highness's arrow wound is a traumatic injury," the doctor said respectfully, "The wound was treated promptly and properly on the battlefield. Now as long as the dressing is changed on time, it should be able to heal quickly."
Ye Fuxun thanked the doctor, walked to the bed and held Ji Yannuo's hand: "Your Highness."
Ji Yannuo smiled and pulled her closer: "Ah Xun is worried."
Rather than worry, it is more about worry about the coming war.
If we don't find out this person, if someone on our side has evil intentions, we will fear that something similar will happen again when we go to the battlefield next.
"Your Highness, who do you think the person who shot you and King Chu would be?" Ye Fuxun was worried.
"It can't be an enemy spy." Ji Yannuo confirmed.
The identity and background of every soldier in the army is carefully and strictly screened at all levels. It is almost impossible for enemy spies to sneak into the army.
"That's the traitor?" Ye Fuxun was convinced of Ji Yannuo's words, "Who do you think this traitor could be?"
"Ah Xun, to tell you the truth, both I and the King of Chu, after being hit by the arrow, their first reaction was that the King of Qin was the most suspicious." Ji Yannuo said frankly.
Although the three of them are brothers, the relationship between royal brothers has always been the weakest.
For the sake of mutual benefit, it is not uncommon in the royal family for brothers to turn against each other.
"Can you find any evidence?"
Ye Fuxun nodded and asked her to see that this matter was not what King Qin said, but maybe one of the various forces in the court.
Ji Yannuo waved to Eunuch Xu, who then retreated and quickly brought up a large sealed box.
He walked up to the two of them and opened the box: "Your Highness, your Majesty. This arrow was pulled out of Your Highness at that time."
Ye Fuxun squinted his eyes and looked at the arrow still stained with blood in the box, and winced in pain: "Have you checked whether there is anything strange about this arrow?"
"Judging from the arrowhead, this arrow is indeed an arrow used by our army."
Eunuch Xu responded.
Ye Fuxun nodded: "Your Highness, can I take a closer look at this arrow?"
Ji Yannuo shook her hand: "Of course."
Ye Fuxun took out her thin leather gloves and put them on, then carefully took out the arrow and took a closer look.
She touched the blood on the arrow tip with her fingertips, then touched the short arrow body, and suddenly her expression condensed.
"What's wrong?" Ji Yannuo kept looking at Ye Fuxun, noticing the change in her expression.
"Your Highness, please wait a moment." Ye Fuxun put down the arrow, took out a bottle from his arms, and applied some powder to the arrow.
The three of them looked together, and after a moment, they saw that the mottled blood on the arrow turned into dark blue.
"Your Highness, I remember you said that if there is no need to sprinkle poisonous powder on the gunpowder bag, no unnecessary people will know about it?"
Ji Yannuo's face turned solemn: "That's right. Only King Chu and General Tu know about this matter."
"Then how do you arrange for people to sprinkle poisonous powder on the gunpowder bags?" Ye Fuxun asked again.
"General Tu found a few confidants and only told them that this powder could increase the power of gunpowder packets. He did not directly say that it was poisonous powder."
Ye Fuxun pondered for a moment: "Your Highness, the arrow of this arrow is stained with poisonous powder specially prepared by my concubine for the gunpowder package."
Ji Yannuo and Eunuch Xu's expressions suddenly changed.
"Your Majesty, please show His Highness whether you are poisoned?" Eunuch Xu was almost frightened.
He followed His Highness on the battlefield, but saw with his own eyes that after the gunpowder exploded, all the enemy troops in a large area spurted blood and fell to the ground. The effect of an invisible sword reaping human lives was really shocking and made him
Unforgettable at first sight.
Not only the enemy was frightened, but he, who knew the inside story, was also frightened.
Of course, he was surprised by surprise, not frightened.
I feel that if the concubine does not take action, it will be much higher than the new gunpowder.
"Eunuch Xu, please rest assured. First of all, there is only poisonous powder on the arrow body. It can be seen that the person who shot the arrow did not know the existence of the poisonous powder. It was just the poisonous powder that was accidentally left by touching the arrow body when extracting the arrow."
Ye Fuxun explained while thinking.
"Secondly, when I developed the poison powder, I was worried that someone would accidentally be poisoned during use, so I specially formulated it so that it would only emit toxicity after high temperature stimulation."
Eunuch Xu felt relieved after hearing this, and immediately his pupils shrank: "So, the person who shot His Highness and the King of Chu should be one of the confidants who arranged for General Tu to sprinkle poisonous powder into the gunpowder bag?"
"Not impossible."
Ji Yannuo took a deep breath: "Xu An, go check."
"Yes, Your Highness."
Eunuch Xu hurriedly responded and left.
However, not long after he walked out, he hurriedly returned: "Your Highness, He Changsheng, who is beside King Qin, is kneeling outside, saying that he shot the arrow in a moment of obsession and came to seek death."
He paused and continued, "In addition, General Tu is also outside to plead guilty."
Ji Yannuo frowned, stood up and said, "What are you talking about! Go out with me and take a look!"
Ye Fuxun followed them out of the house and saw two men kneeling in the yard. One of them, a stranger, saw everyone coming out.
