Without waiting for Li Hui to speak, Lei Shaoxuan analyzed the conjecture of this mission to Li Hui in detail.

"The mission should be complete, but it can't come back. Lei Shaoxuan concluded.

"Jiang Changshi took the lead, can't he come back?" Although Li Hui felt that Lei Shaoxuan's analysis was very reasonable, he still had some doubts in his heart.

"At great cost, one or two people may be hidden, but no one else will be able to escape. Lei Shaoxuan said patiently, "Before the mission is completed, they may treat us as human beings, but after the mission is completed, the best outcome is for us to escape, and at worst, they may use us as bait to let themselves escape." Since it is impossible for all of us to escape, it is natural to sacrifice us to protect them. ”

Li Hui was still a little hesitant, after all, what Lei Shaoxuan said was all conjecture, if it wasn't for the assassination mission, wouldn't it be a loss of an opportunity to obtain extremely high military merits? Li Hui was very confident in passing the final assessment.

"I'm dead, you still have a chance to save Master's daughter, if both of us die, what will happen to the little junior sister?"

Seeing that Li Hui was still a little hesitant, Lei Shaoxuan sighed in his heart, he didn't know how to persuade Li Hui, the opportunity was in front of him, and it was not so easy for Li Hui to give up this opportunity easily.

"If I can get away with it and leave the forward camp because of merit, I'll find a way to take you away. If you also participate in the assassination, even if you can escape, how can you enter the Imperial Palace Ouchi because of your merits and be promoted to an officer? An officer is on record, and it is absolutely impossible for you to enter Ouchi as a eunuch again, and how many years will you have to wait before you can come out? Therefore, on this mission, the two of us can go to one. ”

The sergeants who participated in the training knew that the mission of this trip was very dangerous, but the military merit was very great, because the task was voluntary, no one complained about anything, and they did not like this mission, so they quit.

Lei Shaoxuan knew that if the mission of this trip was really to assassinate in Hudi, and there was no way to escape after the assassination, then this mission was a kind of deception. Knowing that he is going to die, but not telling him in advance, isn't this deception? Not telling him is a fluke?

A shrewd sergeant can vaguely feel something, but he won't think so carefully, let alone a voluntary mission, you can choose to participate or not, what is there to complain about?

"Since you had a guess, why didn't you tell me earlier?" Li Hui asked dissatisfiedly, feeling a little tingling in his heart and a feeling of being let down.

"Do you think I don't believe in you, I don't tell you anything, and I don't treat you as a brother?" Lei Shaoxuan looked at Li Hui's somewhat gloomy face.

Li Hui was silent, and Lei Shaoxuan sighed.

Lei Shaoxuan briefly told Li Hui about Mei Xiang.

"You don't have my advantage, I don't want you to die, telling you won't help things. Lei Shaoxuan also felt a little guilty in his heart, and said: "I have Mei Xiang's help to be better than you." ”

Li Hui actually understood that Lei Shaoxuan didn't want him to take risks, after all, there must always be someone left to fulfill the master's instructions.

Li Hui's psychology is a little extreme, sensitive, and easily injured, and he can only be honest with this kind of person, even so, Lei Shaoxuan can't guarantee that Li Hui can fully understand his own approach.

Lei Shaoxuan said stubbornly: "I won't tell you in advance, I know I'm a little sorry for you." For Master's sake, many times we need to do things on our own. For example, in the future, if you enter the palace and I am outside the palace, and there is no contact between the two of us, what should I do? There is only one way, which is to think about each other in everything. As long as you really think about each other and make things better, you don't have to worry about whether you make your own decisions or not, maybe doing so will make you and me feel uncomfortable, but just for the sake of feeling comfortable, but forgetting the essence of the matter, isn't it a sacrifice to seek the end?

Hearing this, Li Hui suddenly felt ashamed in his heart: "No, senior brother." ”

Lei Shaoxuan looked at Li Hui, and suddenly said: "Li Hui, you and I have a rough and difficult life, a long life, and I don't know how many life and death roads lie ahead, how many trade-offs, and how many bitter joys. I believe in one thing: if people don't bear me first, I will never bear people first. ”

These words will always be remembered in Li Hui's heart, so that Li Hui has encountered many things related to Lei Shaoxuan in his life, and he has conceived according to these words, living up to each other's trust, and creating a legend in the life of the two people.

......

A caravan of more than 30 carts walked on the wasteland of the bitter sea, and each car had a flag diagonally planted on it, which said "Hongfei", which was a famous business name that often traveled to and from Hudi.

A group of more than 20 people from the forward battalion, pretending to be caravan guards, followed the Hongfei firm and marched on the grassland.

The caravan boss's surname was Li, he was born in the army, shrewd and capable, and Lei Shaoxuan concluded that Boss Li should have a close relationship with the military.

Along the way, I also encountered several caravans, all of which were very large.

There are many tribes in the steppe, the demand for goods is huge, and the merchants are lucrative, and although the border passes have been fighting for many years, they cannot stop the adventurers.

In the border area, there are many robbers and horse thieves, but fortunately, after entering the territory of the Hu people, basically no one will rob the caravan, after all, the caravan is robbed, which will affect business contacts. The goods of the Hu people need to be exchanged, and the items that are not there need to be introduced, and the caravan has a huge impact on the life of the Hu people, so the deeper into the grassland, the safer the caravan, and the Hu army will spontaneously encircle and suppress the robbers and horse bandits in the territory to ensure the safety of the trade route.

Lei Shaoxuan noticed that although the sergeants were mixed in the guards, they showed traces of the unique habits of soldiers from time to time, but no one seemed to pay attention to these. The origin of the guards is complicated, and many of them are originally from the military, which is probably why no one cares about these traces.

Along the way, the caravan encountered the Hu people's army from time to time, and was checked several times, but no one deliberately embarrassed the caravan, and even saw the guards holding knives, the Hu people didn't care, after all, dozens of guards with knives were just as fragile as ants in front of the army, which made Lei Shaoxuan feel a lot more relieved.

The grassland in October is a vast scene.

The vast weeds stretch to the sky, dotted with beautiful flowers. Lilacs are refreshing, orchids are quiet, morning glories are blooming, and wild chrysanthemums are proud...... Unknown wildflowers of all kinds compete with each other.

In the verdant grassland, from time to time, you can see sheep grazing in the distance, and the white sheep are dotted like white clouds, and the scenery is very beautiful.

There is a vague road on the grassland, leading to Lucheng.

Lucheng is a big city within a radius of hundreds of miles in Hu, Hu Rong, the general of the former dynasty to conquer the west, led a large army to go deep into Hudi along Qishui, conquered the upper gorge area of Qishui and built Lucheng, as the location of the Anxi Protectorate.

Lucheng is located in a strategic place, located at the confluence of Qishui and Huanshui two rivers, the city is three zhang high, the blue brick is built, it is extremely steep, and the city wall stretches majestically for dozens of miles.

After the Hu people occupied, Xihu Xidan Yu Yelu Chutian led a large army to be stationed here, controlling hundreds of tribes of all sizes around it. Yelu Chutian is the younger brother of Dongdan Yu Yelu Chengtian, this person is eloquent and strategic, in the face of the situation of food shortage of the Hu people, vigorously introduced agricultural technology, and actively developed commercial and trade activities, and the national strength of the Hu people increased year by year.

Xihu and the Northern Wei State fought for many years, and after Yelu Chutian became the commander of the border army, he changed the way the Hu people only plundered materials and did not occupy territory, and gradually occupied the cities of the Northern Wei Dynasty and eroded the land of the Northern Wei Dynasty. And Yelu Chutian was extremely generous to the border people in the occupied land, won the hearts of the border people, and revealed far-reaching intentions, Yelu Chutian was a long-term threat to the Northern Wei Dynasty.

Fortunately, the Hu people are Dongdan Yu Yelu Chengtian. Yelu Chengtian is known as the Great Khan, this person is old and decrepit, and he no longer has the ambition to compete for hegemony when he was young, and just wants to smoothly pass the position of the Great Khan to his eldest son Yelu Daishan, but Yelu Chutian clearly supports the second son of the Great Khan, Yelu Dailiang, to take over the position of the Great Khan, so the relationship between Yelu Daishan and Yelu Chutian is very bad.

At present, Yelu Dailiang is staying in Lucheng, instead of his father to inspect the border and appease the tribal border people, if Yelu Dailiang can be assassinated, then Yelu Chutian will directly face Yelu Daishan, in order to protect himself, Yelu Chutian can only shrink the front and concentrate on dealing with domestic affairs, so as to greatly reduce the pressure on the border pass.

The mission of the Forward Battalion this time is to assassinate Yelu Dailiang, and the mission code name is "Thorn Wolf"

There is an inn in the west of Lucheng City, called "Yuelai Inn", which is a three-storey small building facing the street, and all kinds of shops are connected on both sides of the small building, extending along the street to both sides.

In addition to accommodation, the inn also operates a green building and a restaurant, and people come and go every day, which is very lively. Behind the small building is a large courtyard, which is used as a dormitory and warehouse, and is mainly inhabited by the caravan's guards, men and other insiders, so Jiang Qing and his party live in the backyard, which is not noticeable.

In the evening, Jiang Qing summoned everyone to dinner, asked people to watch the door, and conveyed the final task.

"This mission is to assassinate Jerodeiliang. Yelu Dailiang was the second son of the Great Khan of Hu and his favorite son. This person has a respected status, there are more than 200 guards when he goes out, and he lives in the Lucheng Metropolitan Protectorate on weekdays, and is heavily guarded, even if he travels, he will be closely protected along the way, and the streets are cleared in advance, so he can't get close to the assassination at all. ”

Jiang Qing elaborated: "Three days later, it is the Hu Ren Shaman Festival, and this is a good opportunity to assassinate him. Shaman's Festival is the most important festival of the Hu people, and tribes from near and far will gather in Lucheng to celebrate, and Lucheng will become very lively, with markets and streets full of people. According to tradition, the lord of the city would go to the shaman's palace in the west of the city to make sacrifices, and Jerodeiliang would go with him and accept the cheers of the people along the way on behalf of the Great Khan. ”

Jiang Qing pointed to the schematic diagram on the table and said: "The main street in front of the Duhu Mansion is North Street, which leads to the Shaman Palace to the west, and there is a restaurant in the middle of Mojia Lane, and there is an open area in front of the door, which is the location of the assassination of Dai Liang. Because it is Shaman's Day, the streets will be lined with stalls and people, and the streets will be crowded and lively. When Jeroderia arrives, I set off firecrackers in the open area in front of the restaurant. Firecrackers are a festive tradition and will not be noticed by too many people, but when firecrackers are set off in the street and thrown in the crowd, they will inevitably frighten the crowd and cause chaos, and the chaotic crowd will also impact Yelu Dailiang's team, and when the team stops moving, shoot Yelu Dailiang with fireworks as a call. After the shooting, quickly return to the inn to gather, if it is too late to return to the inn, you can flee separately, rush out of the city by yourself, there are horses arranged outside the east gate. ”

Sure enough, he escaped on his own, and Lei Shaoxuan felt awe-inspiring in his heart.
