Chapter XVI: Secret Orders of the Supervision Army
It's hard to get started, and if you do, you'll find that killing your own kind is a simple thing to do, especially if you're strong enough or ready not to be repaid.
This is a kind of unaesthetic, simple and crude solution to things.
The only thing it has to offer is that it's simple enough to handle most of the troubles, and it's good enough to do it once and for all, as long as it's clean.
Although the green steel sword in his hand was not stained with blood, and he did not personally swing the sword to witness the death of the other party, Li Bai could still clearly sense that a demon had been liberated in his heart.
Since then, Li Bai finally realized that his future path has been completely separated from what he had expected - graduating step by step, finding an ordinary job step by step, and getting married and having children step by step.
He propped up his head in some confusion, looking at the ruffian tent that was still calm at a distance, but had a dead silence.
A kind of trance illusion made him completely free from the romance of the other world when he first came, Li Bai now saw that the whole world was beginning to be full of malice, and a chill and murder began to rise in his spine.
"There are still some people ......" Li Bai looked at the camp tent again, the next few camp tents, there was a hidden murderous flash in his eyes, now he is too simple to kill.
However, he soon put the bottom of his heart up, it seemed to be plain and cold, but in fact he had suppressed some hysterical murderous intentions, and people who were accustomed to killing people as the only way to solve problems were destined to be intolerable.
Li Bai quickly pulled out the stopper of the wine gourd, poured the wine in a big gulp, quickly soothed his nerves, and cooled the flame that was gradually burning.
After drinking a gourd of wine in one go, he fell to the bed with a pop, and immediately began to snore.
When it was almost dawn, a patrol soldier found the body and began to shout loudly, Li Bai opened his sleepy eyes and went to "check" what was happening.
After some acting, naturally no one can doubt the matter on their heads.
The flying sword kills people, there is no trace, it is so domineering.
Li Bai was very calm, from the initial decision to kill, to the fact that everything had been done, and even went to the scene of the murder in person, seeing the bloody heads and the round eyes of the dead man were still terrifyingly calm.
It was as if he had become a bystander, picking up the pieces of what he had done.
As the hour approached, he needed to immediately take someone out of Shattered Leaf Town and head to the Great Wall defenses.
Of course, the death of a few small soldiers is not a big deal, and the lowest-ranking officer in the Tang Army is also a team leader, and the others are not official officers even if they are fire commanders, so soon, this matter was suppressed.
Immediately after, Li Bai took two henchmen and about forty soldiers to receive the supplies of Zhichong Mansion, and after breakfast, he left Broken Leaf Town and embarked on the road to the Great Wall defense line.
However, they only walked for a moment, and a scout intercepted them with a token in his hand: "The overseer has an order, and Li Bai's team is staying." ”
"Lord Overseer?" Li Bai frowned slightly, and asked Zhang Xidao next to him in a low voice, "Is it a eunuch?"
Li Bai remembered that there would always be such a eunuch in the army as a supervisor, they were the eyes and ears of the Son of Heaven, their skills were sparse, and they often competed with the generals of the army for power, and they belonged to the kind of goods who did not succeed enough and had more than enough to lose.
The sentence "eunuch" frightened Zhang Xi all over, and hurriedly reminded in a low voice: "Of course not, it is the imperial history of the Imperial History Terrace." ”
"Yanguan, ......" I still have heard of Li Bai, the trolls of the Yushitai, that is the existence that even a general of Guo Qianjin's level can try not to provoke as much as possible, and in terms of his own team, he is tantamount to a figure in the sky.
So he asked, "What order?"
The scout said proudly: "North of the Great Wall defense line, someone privately opened the six major guan cities, this move is really suspected of collaborating with the enemy and treason, and now the soldiers of the third brigade are secretly transferred to break it, and they will be wiped out in one fell swoop, and the war profits will only need to be handed over half, and then they will not be treated lightly by rewarding meritorious deeds." ”
Li Bai was surprised, and vaguely understood something: "If you open the market privately, you will send troops to kill it?"
Zhang Xi's face was a little ugly, and he said in a low voice: "It is probably because the Lord of the Prison Army is eager to make meritorious contributions and intends to do something in this Western Regions." ”
A sneer suddenly rose on Li Bai's face: "Is this to kill the good and take the risk? There are all Han Yi in Guan City, and once they are encircled and suppressed, they will definitely suffer heavy casualties." It's a good imperial history who is greedy for quick success, but it's a pity that he only joined the army and is not the guard of Broken Leaf Town, and his orders are not in charge of a certain family. ”
"Presumptuous!" the scout was furious, "how dare you be rude to the Prison Lord!"
"For his own selfishness, he provoked borders. If this kind of pickled pourer dared to appear in front of a certain family, he would have been killed with a sword. Li Bai sneered and raised his hand, and the green steel sword suddenly came out of its sheath, and the next moment it directly pierced through the scout's chest.
The scout let out a scream, trembling with fear, only to realize that his sword had only pierced his chest and had not hurt him.
A group of ruffians, including Zhang Xi and Huang Yongju, were dumbfounded and stunned, especially those who had a good relationship with the ruffians who were assassinated by Li Bai, and there was a layer of cold sweat behind them, and they had already understood how those companions died as soon as possible.
". Li Bai waved his hand, signaling the scout to get out, and then stretched out his hand and pointed forward, "Make quick moves, and strive to rush to the first line of defense before noon." ”
As he spoke, Li Bai rode his horse and walked in front of the team, and the soldiers behind him finally began to talk about it.
"That's him! The flying sword kills people, no wonder the murderer can't be found. ”
"Is this some kind of trick?"
"Thankfully, I didn't do it. ”
A soldier suddenly sighed and said, "He's killing chickens and making an example of monkeys." ”
Zhang Xi and Huang Yong glanced at each other, with a hint of a smile on their faces, on the one hand, they affirmed their vision, and on the other hand, they seemed to say - the thighs are very thick and can be hugged.
————————
To the north of the Great Wall, there are six large and small customs markets, which are not located on the Silk Road, but are purely the product of trade between the town of Broken Leaves and the residents of the Great Wall and the Beiyi people.
Nowadays, in the northern part of the Western Regions, although the undercurrent is turbulent, it has gradually become harmonious on the surface, and the residents on both sides of the city have benefited, with cattle and sheep all over the hillsides, and caravans in an endless stream.
The rugged-looking Da Han Gao sat on the war horse, and he was followed by more than a dozen Tang horsemen, patrolling in the north, maintaining the justice and peace of the city.
"It's been a full decade since I started writing from Rong. Su Lie suddenly sighed, "The changes in the past ten years are really great, and the current Western Regions are good." ”
One of the Tang Riders laughed: "That's right, it's much better than when we first came, after so many years of fighting, I don't know how many brothers have died, but the life of the brothers has been better in recent years." ”
"Su Lie!"
Suddenly, a rider jumped out of the caravan ahead, and someone shouted the name of a rugged man, with a high nose and broad eyes, and a dark and rough face with joy from the heart.
"Ashinaxian!"
Su Lie waved his hand and threw out the wine bag in his hand, and the horse caught up with him, and the two clasped their hands, their faces were extremely excited.
"Long time no see, my brother. Su Lie smashed his fist on the other party's shoulder, full of emotion.
"Without further ado, drink first. Ashina first took the wine thrown by Su Lie, pushed his own into the other party's arms, and then began to drink the liquid in a big gulp, and after a while, he let out a happy roar, "Happy!"
Su Lie also gulped down the wine, the clear liquid flowing down his beard, and the Tang Cavalry behind him laughed.
One of them, Tang Qi, laughed and joked: "General Su drinks alcohol - half of it is drunk and half of it is leaked." ”
"You kid is cheating me again!"
"Nonsense Hugh Ti, the demon seed has been rampant recently, just take care of your team. ”
"The war with the Khorezm people is about to start, and it is said that a heroic figure has come out of the northern steppe, who is known as the heir of the blue wolf, the destined king of the northern yi. ”
"May the gods wish you, my friend, that we will not be enemies in the future. ”
"Of course not, as long as it remains the way it is, it's best!"
Ashina first exchanged pleasantries with Su Lie for a while, and then turned his horse away like a gust of wind.
Ashina was the leader of the Beiyi clan, and was in charge of the land bordering the Tang Army, which was originally barren and full of war, but with the conclusion of the Guanshi agreement with Su Lie, this land has become richer and richer in recent years.
"Let's go, keep an eye out for the trail of the Demon Seed. Su Lie admonished, and a group of more than ten riders ran along the avenue towards the Great Wall.
However, just as he was returning to the Wall, a soldier strode up to him and presented him with a secret letter, which he opened and looked at, and his face sank.
"Tell the brothers to go at once!" Su Lie roared loudly.
One of them, Tang Qi, asked, "General, what's the matter?"
"The supervising army has an order, and the soldiers of the third brigade will surprise the six major guan cities. ”
Tang Qi was shocked: "What!"
"Don't waste time, get your hands on it now. ”
"We're really going to ......"
"The prison orders of the Bull Niang, of course we will stop them. ”
