Chapter 658 The Mystery of the Dagger
The archer made a "grand" sound in his throat. It was obvious that before he died, the phlegm in his mouth was blocked in his throat, and he was even more unwilling to accept death. He had unparalleled archery skills, but eventually died in the hands of an enemy who was better at assassination. The sound in his throat sounded for a moment, and finally there was no sound.
Han Mo knew that the magical archer was dead, but he was still worried. He used his right hand to cut off the archer's neck, and then stood up from him and breathed a sigh of relief.
The house was as quiet as death. After a moment, Han Mo walked out of the dark room.
"Sir, the Taoist priest is dead!" The black scorpion came forward and whispered. He naturally had already checked Yuan Daoling's corpse.
Han Mo sat down on the chair next to the table, breathed a few breaths, and when he calmed down, he ordered: "The one inside is dead, go search for his body and see if there is anything useful."
Han Mo was naturally very curious about the identity of this archer, but he hoped to find some objects from him that could prove the other party's identity.
The black scorpion immediately entered the house and searched the archer's body.
Han Mo looked at Yuan Daoling's corpse at his feet and smiled coldly. He entered Qitian Temple, the holy land of Qingguo, and even assassinated the guardian Tianshi. If this matter was spread, it would be a shock to a large number of people.
He winked at the black centipede. The black centipede naturally understood Han Mo's meaning, and stepped forward and searched carefully on Yuan Daoling. In addition to various pills, there was another silver medal for the guardian Tianshi and another letter that had been opened.
Han Mo frowned. The letter was collected by Yuan Daoling personally, so it was naturally not an ordinary letter. He took it over, took it out, and looked at it. He saw that there were not many words on it, just a simple sentence.
"If a great thing is accomplished, the Tianshi will be the ancestor of the Taoist sect in the world, and there are hundreds of schools in the world who only respect the Taoist sect!"
The handwriting is very powerful, and I write cursively, but I don’t leave any signature behind. I don’t know who wrote this letter.
"If a big thing is done?" Han Mo frowned, but he didn't know what big thing the big thing mentioned in the letter would be? But what big thing can such an incompetent Yuan Daoling participate in.
However, the promises that followed were very loud. If it were not for a high-ranking and powerful person, he would never be qualified to say such things.
"The hundreds of schools in the world only respect the Taoist sect!"
What a wild tone.
Back then, only Emperor Wu of Han had the ability to abolish Confucianism by all schools of thought. However, this letter was arrogant and arrogant that he only respected Taoism. However, it also contained a considerable domineering spirit.
Although Yuan Daoling is not a powerful person, it is undeniable that he can at least be considered a cunning person. He can collect this letter personally, which proves that Yuan Daoling believes very much in the contents of the letter.
Being able to make a cunning person like Yuan Daoling believe what is said in the letter means that it is definitely not ordinary people who wrote this letter. At least in Yuan Daoling's opinion, the other party is qualified to say such things.
If you are qualified to say such things, then there is no doubt that the other party's identity is truly remarkable.
Such a person promised such a great condition to Yuan Daoling, so it would naturally not be simple to ask Yuan Daoling to do the "big thing".
Han Mo squinted his eyes, thinking.
After a while, Han Mo received the letter in his arms, then took out the corpse-transformed powder and fell on Yuan Daoling. When the black scorpion came out of the house, Yuan Daoling's body and clothes had disappeared without a trace, becoming part of the air.
...
The archers didn't find many things, and they were placed on the table.
The two small porcelain bottles contain medicine, a token made of black iron, a dagger, and a wallet. There is nothing else except that.
Among these items, the importance of them is naturally the black iron token, but Han Mo's eyes were thrown on the dagger at the first time, and his face showed a strange look.
The black scorpion and the black centipede looked at each other, and they were confused. This dagger didn't look very special. Why did the director show interest in this dagger?
Han Mo held the dagger in his hand, frowned, and looked at the dagger carefully.
At first glance, this dagger is nothing special, but if you look closely, it is still a little different from ordinary daggers. At the sharp edge of this dagger, there is a very small groove, like a tiny blood groove, but it is obviously not a blood groove, but more like a sign.
Han Mo closed his eyes and pondered.
He clearly remembered that it was not the first time he had seen such a strange dagger, or that before that, he had seen another dagger that was almost exactly the same.
A dagger with a ditch mark on the edge of the blade.
Zhu Xiaoyan!
The dagger used by Zhu Xiaoyan to cut steamed buns is exactly the same as this dagger.
When he saw Zhu Xiaoyan's dagger, although he was a little surprised why there was a small ditch at the sharp blade of the dagger, Han Mo didn't care too much.
Just a dagger, Han Mo would not think that the dagger had any big secret. At that time, Han Mo just thought it was Zhu Xiaoyan who deliberately left that mark on his dagger.
But when he saw this dagger today, Han Mo instantly thought of Zhu Xiaoyan's dagger.
This is by no means a coincidence.
A tiny ditch was engraved at the edge of the dagger. This strange mark was extremely rare. Han Mo did not think that it would be a coincidence that the same mark appeared on the archer and Zhu Xiaoyan's dagger.
Could this archer have anything to do with Zhu Xiaoyan?
arrow!
Han Mo's eyes flashed. When he thought of Zhu Xiaoyan's connection with this archer, Han Mo immediately thought of Zhu Xiaoyan's archery skills. Although Zhu Xiaoyan did not show his archery skills too much, it is undeniable that Zhu Xiaoyan's archery skills are also exquisite.
Ligu Pass was Zhu Xiaoyan's arrow that shot and killed Ligu Pass commander Ye Wuya.
Han Mo always felt that the archery technique that Zhu Xiaoyan usually showed was not the ultimate of his archery technique. That stone-like guy must have reservations about archery techniques.
The same dagger also has terrifying archery...!
Han Mo thought for a long time and finally turned his attention to the token and reached out to take it. The token had the words "Edict" engraved on the front, but the five small words "Yunshanwei of the Great Wei" engraved on the opposite side.
"It's from Wei!" Han Mo sneered.
This token naturally reveals too much information, which at least shows that the person who made the promise to Yuan Daoling must be from Wei, and a person with extremely powerful Wei State.
They were going to use Yuan Daoling as a nail to plot against a certain "big event".
Yuan Daoling colluded with the people of Wei, and this "Yunshanwei of the Great Wei Dynasty" was naturally a bridge in the middle, perhaps to help Yuan Daoling carry out the so-called "big event".
It is precisely because of the cooperative relationship between the two sides that the archers helped Yuan Daoling assassinate him.
However, although Yuan Daoling was the guardian of Qi Tianguan, to be honest, it was nothing more than the tools used by Emperor Qing and Empress Qing to refine elixirs for themselves. He had no real power. What kind of great things can such an alchemy Taoist priest help the Wei people do? Why did the Wei people make such a great promise to a person who did not have much power?
Han Mo's thoughts were like lightning, and his thoughts flew around, and he quickly grasped the key.
Yuan Daoling was the guardian of Qi Tianguan and one of the important figures in alchemy. The people of Wei tempted Yuan Daoling, so they naturally took a fancy to his identity and role.
Yuan Daoling's biggest function is to refine alchemy, and the Wei people obviously wanted to take advantage of this.
Of course, the people of Wei did not want to get some kind of elixir from Yuan Daoling. With the national strength of Wei, it was not difficult to find a group of Taoist priests to refine elixirs. It was impossible to go to the scene to ask for elixirs.
In addition, the Wei State can only pay for Yuan Daoling to make money on the elixir.
Pills!
Han Mo's eyes shone slightly. He knew very well that the elixirs refined by the Taoist priests of Qi Tianguan were all offered to Emperor Qing and Empress Qing, and were taken by these two noble couples in the Qing Kingdom.
The people of Wei wanted to make a fuss about elixirs, and they could only deal with the emperor and queen of Qing.
Now it was when Wei Qing started the war, the armies of the two countries were fighting to the death. At such a critical moment, the Yunshan Wei of the Great Wei appeared in Qi Tianguan, which made Han Mo even more sure that the Wei people wanted to poison Emperor Qing and Empress Qing through elixirs.
Han Mo knew very well that once these two people suddenly had a situation, even if Shang Zhongli was in charge, then the Qing State would be in chaos. The Wei people were likely to create this chaos within Qing to cooperate with the Wei cavalry's attack on Qing State.
Thinking of this, Han Mo was quite surprised. Could it be that his assassination had allowed Qingguo to avoid a major turmoil?
Things in the world are impermanent. If that is true, things will develop too strangely.
Han Mo was thinking, and the two subordinates stood quietly aside. When Han Mo smiled strangely, they looked at each other and didn't understand what Han Mo was thinking.
Black Scorpion finally whispered: "Sir, it's not advisable to stay here for a long time, so we'd better leave as soon as possible!"
Han Mo nodded slightly, ordered the black centipede to deal with the archer's corpse, put away the dagger, held the token "Dawei Yunshanwei" in his hand, and once again remembered Zhu Xiaoyan's identity.
Zhu Xiaoyan is from Wei, and there is no doubt about this, but Han Mo has never known Zhu Xiaoyan's true background.
The appearance of this archer today made Han Mo more curious about Zhu Xiaoyan's identity background.
