The little heroine investigates a mysterious case

Uncle Wu pointed to a young man next to him.

"Xiao Hu went to the city to sell goods and saw someone secretly buying this type of arrowhead at a high price. He asked the person for a blueprint and brought it back to me."

"Buy it at a high price? Why?"

Huang Shuo turned his head and asked Xiaohu, who shook his head.

"I don't know. That person also said that if anyone saw an identical one and told him who used it, he would give them one ounce of silver. I think Uncle Wu is very knowledgeable and may have seen it before."

Uncle Wu saw Huang Shuo holding the blueprint in his hand with a frown on his face, and asked hurriedly.

"Xiao Huang, is this for your daughter?"

"No, it's similar, but definitely not."

Huang Shuo was sure that the arrowhead drawn on the drawing was Zhao Xuan's, but he didn't dare admit it in front of Uncle Wu. Someone was spending a lot of money to find Zhao Xuan, and things were obviously not going well.

Huang Shuo's hair stood on end, and he subconsciously realized that Zhao Xuan was about to fall into danger.

Uncle Wu had no idea that Huang Shuo was lying, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's good. I think it's a hassle to pay so much money just for delivering a message."

Huang Shuo didn't show it on his face, but he was extremely anxious inside. He put the drawings in his arms and said to Uncle Wu and Xiaohu.

"Uncle Wu, Xiaohu, I'll keep this blueprint for reference. I'll also improve my daughter's arrowhead later."

"Okay, Uncle Huang, you keep them. That guy has a lot of them. It looks like he plans to give one to every blacksmith shop."

Huang Shuo's heart was filled with alarm. This matter was too strange!

Who is looking for Xuan'er?

Is Xuan'er currently at the Xianwang Mansion in Liyang, or has she already departed for the Kingdom of Yue? Is she in danger?

Huang Shuo only then regretted staying in the remote village where he had no access to information.

He couldn't stay there for a moment, he had to go to Yanzhou City immediately, find the person who had the blueprints, and ask him everything!

"Uncle Wu, I just remembered that I'm out of rice. I'd like to ask for leave to go to the city to buy some rice."

"Okay, go ahead. The sooner you go, the sooner you can come back."

Huang Shuo was very familiar with the blacksmith shops in Yanzhou City. They often had business dealings there and would also learn from each other about blacksmithing skills.

There are five blacksmith shops in Yanzhou City. Huang Shuo asked one by one. When he asked about the third blacksmith shop, he met his old acquaintance, Blacksmith Zhang.

Blacksmith Zhang was holding the arrowhead blueprint in his hand and pointed to the door.

"That man just left! He turned left!"

"What does he look like? What is he wearing?"

Huang Shuo took two steps toward the door, then came back and asked Zhang the blacksmith.

Blacksmith Zhang curled his lips.

"A strange man, very tall and strong, wearing the everyday clothes of ordinary people in our Xia Country, but he doesn't look like a Xia person. He has a very obvious hooked nose."

Huang Shuo thanked Zhang the blacksmith and hurried out to the left to chase after him.

After chasing across a street, Huang Shuo saw the back of a tall man walking in an alley from afar.

Huang Shuo leaped from the rooftop to the man, who looked to be a sturdy man in his thirties with a high nose and deep eyes.

He frowned when he saw Huang Shuo standing in front of him.

"Who are you? Why are you blocking my way?"

Huang Shuo did not answer, but took out a blueprint from his pocket and waved his hand, and the blueprint appeared in front of the man.

"But you are looking for the owner of this arrow?"

The man looked at the blueprint and immediately looked at Huang Shuo with surprise.

"Do you know who the owner of the arrow is? I'll give you one tael of silver for the information. If the information is correct and the owner of the arrow is found, I'll give you another tael!"

"Why are you looking for the owner of this arrow?"

The man looked Huang Shuo up and down. He was an ordinary middle-aged man, half a head shorter than himself, and dressed very ordinary. He felt disdainful.

The tone was condescending and contemptuous.

"Why do you care so much? If you know, take the money and leave. If you don't know, get out of the way and don't block my way!"

Huang Shuo snorted coldly, flew forward, grabbed the man's neck with one hand, and pushed him against the wall.

The man struggled hard but couldn't break free.

Huang Shuo didn't waste any words and used more and more force in his hands. He had never killed anyone, but that didn't mean he wouldn't kill anyone. Moreover, Zhao Xuan's safety did not allow him to be soft-hearted.

"Speak! Or you'll die!"

The man's face turned red, his eyes were bloodshot, his eyeballs bulged out, and he gradually became unable to breathe and could not speak.

The man felt that death was about to befall him. He was just an ordinary soldier out on a mission to earn some money to support his family. How could he suddenly encounter a great killer?

Fear struck him for a moment, and the man had no choice but to look at Huang Shuo with pleading eyes. Huang Shuo then let go of his hand, and the man immediately collapsed to the ground.

"Tell me! Who is it?!"

The man stroked his throat. It hurt so much! It took him a long time to catch his breath.

"Yes, yes, my master, King Yingyang of Rongdi."

Huang Shuo really couldn't understand how Zhao Xuan was related to King Rongdi, so he asked sternly.

"King Rongdi? Why?"

The man was shaking like a sieve, not daring to look at Huang Shuo at all. He knelt in front of Huang Shuo, gasping for breath as he spoke.

"This spring, my king and General Qin Shao of the Xia Kingdom fought a decisive battle at the foot of Tianlu Mountain... My king launched a surprise attack on Qin Shao and was about to succeed, but who knew he would be... shot by a hidden arrow, and his plan was ruined at the last moment!

My king vowed to find the owner of this arrow and kill him, so he sent people to search for him in all the countries... Please spare my life! I was only following orders!

Just as the man said this, Huang Shuo shot onto the roof like a meteor and disappeared in an instant.

The man was stunned for a moment, then he hurriedly got up and staggered away.

?

A few days later, outside the Prince Xian’s Mansion.

Huang Shuo was covered in dust, with stubble on his beard, messy hair, and a small bag on his back. He looked like a beggar.

The guard at the gate stopped Huang Shuo and looked at him with a frown.

"What can I do for you?"

Huang Shuo had been traveling for days and his mouth was dry. He swallowed and his voice was a little hoarse.

"I'm looking for the virtuous princess."

The guard's heart skipped a beat. This Huazi is such a naive young man! He directly asked for the princess!

But the princess was once the head of Jiaoyang Valley. Could this man be a commoner living there? Could he be asking the princess for money because he couldn't make ends meet?

The guards were unsure.

"wait!"

The guard went in quickly, and Qing'e came out soon after, looking at Huang Shuo carefully again.

"You're looking for the princess? Who are you to the princess?"

Huang Shuo thought, can he say that he is the princess's father?

He looked at the tattered soles of his shoes that revealed a few toes, touched his messy stubble, and patted his dusty clothes. The earthy smell made him cough.

Will he embarrass Xuan'er by acting like this?

The princess's father is related to Emperor Xia!

He is all dirty now, so let’s not talk about it for now, so as not to arouse more suspicion!

"I'm a relative of the princess, please help pass the message on for me!"

This person is quite anxious!

Qing'e was a latecomer and had no idea whether the princess and the prince had any relatives before they got married, and who their relatives were.

If the person in front of him is really a relative of the princess, he must not be neglected and must be invited into the palace to be treated well by the princess. But if not, who could it be?

Qing'e was also undecided, but there was Chunlan in the mansion who definitely knew more about the princess's past than she did.

"wait!"

After saying this, Qing'e turned around and went back home.

Still waiting?!

Huang Shuo raised his head and sighed, it is really difficult to enter the Prince Xian’s Mansion!
