Chapter 57: Deserved Bad Luck

  Because of his repeated interventions, Su Lin was already furious and said in a cold voice, "Prince Yanling, what do you mean by this again?"

  "The bow and arrow are in my hands, what do you think I mean?" Lord Yanling smiled, repeatedly playing with the bow and crossbow in his hand, without any reserve.

  Su Lin was taken aback, and a spark of anger suddenly flashed in her eyes. She raised her hand angrily and pointed at him, "Was it you who hurt Wan'er?"

  He cast a sidelong glance at the hand that was almost poking in front of his face, raised an eyebrow slightly, and asked with a calm tone, "In my opinion, Young Master Su, not only is your eyesight poor, but even your logic is problematic. You said I hurt your sister? Then I'd like to ask you, Young Master Su, why would I want to hurt her?"

  This sentence didn't just stun Su Lin, everyone present was stunned by his question.

  Su Lin's eyes blazed with anger, and for a moment, she was also speechless.

  He actually wanted to say that Yanling Jun was instructed by Chu Ze, but the backstage of Yanling Jun's surface is Ruiqin Wang. If he didn't grasp the opponent's wrist, he really wouldn't dare to frame this crime casually.

  And this is also the reason why Chu Jinyang will decisively push out Yanling Jun to take over, because ——

  She had a feud with Su Yu, and even if the other party didn't grasp her wrist and couldn't openly do anything to her, it would still inevitably lead to suspicion from all sides, and it wouldn't be easy for things to calm down.

  If Yanling Jun, who is clean and honest, takes the lead, things will be much simpler.

  "It seems that Yanling has indeed made a futile effort this time." Chu Jiu Yang sighed and spoke, his tone sarcastic. "Although you took the initiative to kill the assassin to avenge Su Junzhu's grievances, she clearly doesn't appreciate it."

  Was it Yanling Jun who killed his arranged assassin and ruined his plan?

  Su Lin's expression was suspicious, and she secretly sized up Yanling Jun.

  "I don't know what the Su family's young mistress has done to offend someone, but it seems like they're out to kill her. Luckily, this assassin's archery skills are off, or else...". Chu Jiu Yang didn't care about his own thoughts and continued speaking to himself, then turned around and instructed Qing Luan, "You go pull the arrows from the assassin's body, and also bring back his quiver for Su Shi Zi and the others to examine personally."

  "Yes, County Master!" Qing Luan led the order, pulled out the arrow that was shot in the chest of the assassin, and then tore off the quiver on his back and presented it together.

  Chu Youyang turned his face away and didn't bother to say more, simply walking off with his hands behind his back.

  Tuoba Yunji thought for a moment, walked over, bent down to pick up the arrow tube that had fallen from Chuo Yang's hand, pulled out an arrow and carefully compared it with the bloody arrow in Qing Luan's hand, saying: "This arrow tube and the saddles of the two people from Chuo Yang County were all borrowed from Prince Jian Xiao. Each arrow has the mark of Rui Wang Fu, so there shouldn't be any mistake."

  Chu Qi Hui saw the incident and initially thought it was just Chu Miao Yang taking revenge on Su Wei. However, upon hearing the words, he was the first to step forward and verify, nodding his head and saying, "Indeed, there is the emblem of Rui Wang Fu."

  Others also came forward to identify him and nodded in agreement one after another.

  Su Lin's face sank, and his expression gradually became unbearable. He let out a cold snort and said, "What of it?"

  "How?" Chu Nanyang sneered, snatching the quiver from Qing Luan and slamming it to the ground at his feet. "This was taken from the assassin's body. You can take it and compare it with the murder weapon on Su Wan's body to see who really hurt her!"

  Chu Qi Hui didn't want to make an enemy of the East Palace and the Chang Shun Wang Fu, so he immediately took out the arrow and had someone compare it. After taking a look, he let out a sigh of relief and said, "It seems that Su Shi Zi really did misunderstand Wu Yang. The arrow that injured Su Jun Zhu should have come from an assassin's hand. Speaking of which, this person is also cautious in his actions. The arrows he used are the same batch as the ones distributed to everyone for hunting."

  This time's hunt was temporarily proposed by Su Yu, so when each family came over, they didn't have any equipment, and the horses and bows and arrows were all temporarily allocated from the warehouse of the temporary palace.

  Chu Youyuan was precisely because he had a cautious heart, so from the very beginning, he refused to accept the provocation of Su and Wu.

  "How could this be so coincidental?" Chu Yu Yan saw that Chu Miao Yang had actually cleared himself of any relationship, and suspiciously opened his mouth, "The bows and arrows we use are all managed by a specialized person, how could it be so easy for a little thief to get away with it?"

  She only knew that Su Yu had a grudge against Chu Nanyang and deliberately sought to provoke him, but she didn't know that the other party was so bold as to directly send an assassin to take Chu Nanyang's life, so at this time she couldn't wait to stir up trouble.

  Su Lin secretly sighed and thought it was not good.

  Chu Lingyun's eyes flashed with a hint of dim light, and she walked to Su Wei's side, who was unconscious, saying, "There are many people present today, and the assassin is already dead. It will be difficult to investigate further later on. Fortunately, it was Lord Yanling who intervened; otherwise, Miss Su would have suffered in vain."

  The assassin was sent by Su Lin's faction. If they really want to get to the bottom of it, they can't help but reveal their true intentions.

  Her implication was that Su Lin should consider himself unlucky and drop the matter.

  Su Lin couldn't swallow this tone, but he understood the weight of it. He opened his mouth to speak, but Chu Sunyang had already spoken coldly, "Someone, take this person's corpse away and inspect it carefully from head to toe. If that doesn't work, summon all the servants who were on duty in the palace today and have them identify him one by one. This palace isn't a place where just anyone can come and go, I don't believe he could have emerged from underground."

  Su Lin's heart was secretly anxious, but she didn't dare show it on her face, and quietly clenched her fists.

  Just then the guards brought over a sedan chair, and Chu Lingyun hastily said, "The sedan chair has arrived, let's talk about the assassin later, Young Master should first send Miss Su back to get medical treatment."

  As she spoke, she hastily gave Su Lin a signal with her eyes.

  Su Lin also knew that the most important thing at this time was to cover up, and he had to think of a way to destroy the evidence. He could only hold back his breath and order people to carry Su Huan away on a stretcher and leave quickly.

  The matter seems to have come to an end, but everyone's face still doesn't show any relaxation.

  "I recall that Lord Yanling had just said that he wasn't very skilled in archery." Chu Qiyan had been watching with a cold gaze, but now she smiled and walked forward, "I wonder how you managed to hit the assassin earlier?"

  Everyone's eyes focused on Yanling Jun's face.

  Although Yanling Jun's current position is not important, he can be considered as having entered the official circle. To act in such a contradictory manner would be to ruin his own reputation.

  "My humble horse riding skills are indeed not great, otherwise I wouldn't have let the Marquis of Xunyang fall off her horse just now." Under everyone's gaze, Prince Yanling's expression didn't change, still smiling with elegance and refinement.

  As he spoke, his fingers lightly stroked the bow in his hand.

  Then the next moment, almost without warning, he took the blood-stained arrow from Qing Luan's hand and drew his bow with a smooth motion.

  An icy arrow pierces the air, accompanied by a sharp whistling sound.

  Under the sunlight, a sharp ray of light is refracted from the arrowhead and shoots out rapidly.

  "Ah——" Chu Lingyun let out a sharp cry and suddenly raised her hand to cover her face.

  Digression

  Su family siblings are left, then Qi Yan pot pot PK Yangling, Chu Lingyun is going to be unlucky...... I suddenly found that this chapter has a lot of information ~
