Chapter 336: Assassination in the Night

Su Lie walked slowly towards the grave where his wife and daughter were buried, and with each step, he felt the heaviness of his steps.

Every step he takes, it seems to have passed the annual rings of time, which makes him feel incomparably long.

Standing in front of the two newly erected graves, Su Lie is no longer the general who is mighty on the battlefield, and now he has experienced the destruction of his family, and his temples have been slightly frosty. What was once an incomparably burly and tall back now seems so fragile. Even the battle-hardened light guards who followed him couldn't bear it in their hearts, and they touched the scene.

This time, what Tang Wang did really chilled Su Lie's heart, it was too much.

"Madam, Jie'er, I've come to see you!"

As he spoke, Su Lie turned around and glanced at the light guard behind him, and one person walked out of it, holding a bouquet of flowers in his hand.

"Madame and Jie'er have always liked the flowers of the Summer Palace, I specially sent someone to pick some back, although I came a little late, but I finally did it!" Su Lie took the flowers from the guard's hand and carefully placed them in front of their graves.

"Originally, I thought that after I came back from Zhengnan, I would take you to see the flowers all over the mountain, but now I'm afraid it's impossible!" Su Lie said to the two new tombs in front of him.

"When this matter is settled, I will build a hut next to your grave when I return from the southern expedition, and I will accompany you all day long, so it's time to rest!" Su Lie said with emotion, standing next to the grave, thinking for a while, he turned around and said to the light guard behind him.

"Let's go, I'm afraid I've been away for so long, Lin'er and Wu'er must be worried, if they don't go back, I'm really afraid that they will make some moths!"

As he spoke, he walked to the side of the horse, turned over and jumped, and ran in the direction of Shanhaiguan.

In the blink of an eye, it was already evening, outside the noon gate of the Tang Palace, the execution platform in the morning was extremely deserted under this night, and it became the most lively place during the day because the crown prince Li Zhi was killed, but at night, it was the most deserted place.

There are a lot of dead people here, who is okay and has nothing to do in the middle of the night? But at this moment, someone is coming.

When the figure that appeared gradually became clear, Su Lie's presence would have found that the person who came was the chief judge of the execution during the day, and there was a black-robed person standing next to him, who was Wan Gu who had been planning in the Tang Kingdom. There was also a horse-drawn carriage next to it.

"This is ............!" the judge asked, with a hint of stammering.

"I'm the emperor's person, I know too much, it's not good for you!" Wan Gu said lightly.

"Yes, yes, I don't ask, I don't ask, if you show me that letter, I will believe it, after all, the crown prince has always been loved by the emperor, how can he be killed immediately in one day?" the chief judge immediately laughed.

"Today's incident has made your subordinates shut their mouths, whoever wants to leak it out will be punished for treason! I'm afraid that your life will be at risk if it is an adult!" Wan Gu said in a deep voice.

As soon as the chief judge was excited, he immediately nodded desperately: "I understand, I understand, they are all my henchmen, rest assured!"

After speaking, Wan Gu glanced at the chief judge, and ran into the distance with the carriage.

At the same time, Su Lie and his party were speeding towards the Tang Army tent in Shanhaiguan, now the night had fallen, and Su Lie and they were also coming to a forest, among which there was only one official road, and the light guard behind him said to Su Lie: "General, if it is not early today, should we take a rest and wait for dawn before we go on the road?"

"No, time is pressing, and Su Lin and Su Wu already have the intention of rebelling, since the Holy Lord has already punished Li Zhi with beheading, I can't pursue anything, the top priority is to rush over as soon as possible to see the two of them, now the whole army is indignant because of my matter, if I am inspired by the two, I really don't know what will happen!!" Su Lie frowned and said.

"What the general said is very true, but the mountains here are high and the forests are dense, and I am afraid that someone is ambushing here!" said an experienced light guard to Su Lie.

"What are you afraid of? In my territory in the Tang Dynasty, do the people of the Han still dare to sneak in and assassinate us? Husband, marching and fighting, why are you greedy for life and afraid !!of death? Originally, I was still a little worried, but now, Su is fearless!

As the words fell, Su Lie held the reins, quickly raised his horse and whipped, and ran forward, the light guard knew Su Lie's character, and there was no way but to follow closely.

At the moment when they left, black shadows appeared in the mountains and forests, and they looked at the few people who left, and their eyes flashed with murderous intent.

"Bang!

Two arrow feathers burst out of the air, cutting through the black sky from the mountains and forests, and shot at the two light guards behind Su Lie with unmistakable accuracy.

The powerful impact force instantly shot through the guards in inertia and landed under the horse.

"Appeal !!"

Su Lie also felt the ambush, and immediately tightened the reins, and the horse's hooves were already close to vacating.

"Su Lie, suffer death!"

Su Lie stopped, and there were suddenly several more black figures around him, they were holding silver long knives, their eyes were cold, and they were slashing at Su Lie.

"Bold! I really don't want to kill Ben Shuai!"

Su Lie didn't expect that his words would come true, there was really a traitor who dared to come to assassinate him, he was furious in his heart, he pulled out his long knife from behind him, kicked Ma Tie with one kick, and flew into the air to meet this group of black-clothed assassins.

Su Lie himself was a martial artist of the Yin and Yang True Realm, and in the face of these assassins, without the slightest fear, he just greeted them.

The moon is dark and the wind is high, the swords and swords are shuttling in the mountains and forests, and the sound of sonorous swords hitting each other is endless.

"Bang!"

Su Lie was unmatched, and he vented his hatred for Li Zhi and his remorse for losing his wife and daughter on this group of assassins at this time.

The muscles in his hands were as thick as branches, and he held the hilt of his sword, and slashed at a black-clad assassin.

The assassin himself was not weak, and his reaction was extremely fast, and in an instant, he put his long sword across his head to block Su Lie's vertical slash.

When the swords collided, the assassin felt a force as heavy as a mountain descend on his long sword, and suddenly there was a feeling of momentum.

Su Lie's long sword was made of high-grade materials, and it could be described as extremely tough, how could these assassins' long swords be able to stop it?

The sword impacted, and the long sword was instantly unable to withstand a knife and broke in half, but the sword did not stop because of this, and the cold light flashed, and the assassin's forehead left a slight blood mark.

It's just that the assassin's eyes have become hollow and weak, the broken sword in his hand has also fallen to the ground, and his body stiffly falls backwards, killing him with one blow!
