Zhong Huan's eyes were sharp, he noticed it in time, stretched out his hand to choke the dagger, and didn't care about the reins, and fought with the man on horseback.

The other party is a noble son pretended to be an extraordinary secret guard in the palace, and he reacted quickly, freed himself from Zhong Huan's restraint in three or two strokes, flexibly controlled the dagger, looked at his throat, and stabbed it with all his might, Zhong Huan almost couldn't dodge, hurriedly turned sideways, and was so let by him, the person who overused his head was chopped into the air, and his body fell on the horseback, and Zhong Huan took away the dagger, clamped his arm, and the clinker was infinitely manpowered, and kicked Zhong Huan in the back with his back, and his body bounced back, and suddenly turned the situation and quickly gained the upper hand, Zhong Huan was in pain, He almost kicked off the horse, and reached out in time to hook the stirrup......

jin――jiang――wen――xue――cheng

Immediately fought for several rounds before subduing the opponent, Zhong Huan wiped his sweat and sighed, and when he turned around, he saw a pile of corpses at Qu Boyao's feet, and couldn't help but be surprised, grabbed the man and jumped off the horse, dragged him to Qu Boyao, stretched out his feet and kicked the corpses under his feet and said, "Master, these people are all you killed just now?" When did you become better than me? They're all very skilled. This guy! He twisted the man's ear: "It took me a lot of effort to subdue this guy, and the master said, how to deal with the guy who deceived us and torture him to extract a confession?" ”

Qu Boyao walked up, looked around the man a few times, and said, "Do you still use coerced confessions?" Don't you want to make a lot of effort? There are eighteen secret guards around His Majesty, and the one you are dealing with is the leader of one of them. ”

The man glared at him fiercely: "Traitor! ”

Zhong Huan slapped his mouth and said, "If you don't force a confession, how to deal with this guy?" And now slaughter him with a knife? ”

"Wait until he bites the poison under his tongue and kills himself, if he doesn't kill himself, you will kill him."

"Did you hear that? Don't you kill yourself? ”

The man killed himself with hatred.

Zhong Huan looked at the wild cranes that were roaring in the sky above his head and kept circling, and said, "It's strange, why are so many wild cranes flying here all of a sudden?" One by one, they are quite fierce, and they attack when they see people. ”

The cranes in the air were connected from end to end, and when they circled and flew, they were arranged in a neat circle, Qu Boyao's ears moved, and he hurriedly asked Zhong Huan: "Listen, can you hear someone playing the flute?" ”

Zhong Huan didn't like that, he never listened, shook his head and said, "I didn't hear it." It should be the nature of the jungle, this is the hunting ground for the royal family to fight and kill, where will anyone have the leisure and courage to play the flute nearby? ”

Qu Boyao pondered for a moment, looked at the corpse of the wild crane that had just been shot on the ground, and said, "Although these cranes are wild, they fly neatly and attack with purpose, but they seem to have been trained by people. I thought about it carefully, and those cranes came to help us just now, but we killed some of them by mistake. ”

"Help us? Who will it be? Does the master know this kind of capable person? Zhong Huan scratched his head and asked him.

He thought about it and silently went to lead the horse: "I don't know." ”

Zhong Huan also followed to lead the horse, and as soon as he touched the reins, faintly, he heard the sound of the surrounding forest leaves shaking, and drew his sword vigilantly: "Master, it seems that there is movement again." ”

"Don't be vigilant for the time being," Qu Boyao turned over his horse, pointed to the crane in the sky and said: "It's these rescuers, just now, a group of them have fallen into the forest and are interfering with the ambushing opponents, I believe that the sound of arrows will be heard soon." ”

When the words fell, there was a whooshing rain of arrows in the forest.

"Master, how do you know?"

Qu Boyao said with a smile: "These wild cranes flying from nowhere seem to have come to help us, they have a clear division of labor, a group of people in the sky to observe, after discovering the people lurking in the forest, they will notify another group of wild cranes, and that group of wild cranes will immediately swoop down to attack the people lurking in the forest." But the wild crane is no better than a human in the end, sometimes it is impossible to distinguish between friend and foe, and the owner behind them wants them to help us, and it may attack when it finds a hidden person. ”

"Oh, I see," Zhong Huan said, "their master wants the cranes to discover the hidden enemies in the forest and warn our people, but, as the master said, our people are also lurking in the forest, so wouldn't it be possible to attack with our people?" ”

Qu Boyao said: "It's possible, for example, weren't we attacked by them just now?" But I faintly heard the sound of a flute in the distance, their owner should have used the sound of the flute to inform them of a region, you look up at the sky, they are always hovering in this sky, the first group of people ambushed by Gongsun Er are mainly lurking in this vicinity, if it weren't for this group of wild cranes to appear in time, they would have done something to us just now; And our people are lurking on their periphery, and there is very little chance that they will be attacked by wild cranes. These cranes are going to attack the guards. ”

"Now that the master knows that the enemy in ambush here has not been eliminated by our people. When that person came to report just now, master, you still want to enter the trap set by the Dog Emperor? Didn't you put yourself in danger? ”

"It's more dangerous to continue to stay there," Qu Boyao said, "He is determined to kill me today, if his trap is sent and I don't enter his trap, he must think that I have insight into his plan, then he will send people to encircle and suppress at any cost, if it is really encircled and suppressed, it will be difficult for our reinforcements to arrive for a while, and the chance of escape is very small." But encircling and suppressing me there will attract the attention of other adults, and if he wants to kill me, he will have to give me a crime at will and insist on giving me a killing order, which will inevitably lose the hearts of the people, which is the next step; If I fall into his trap, he will be temporarily taken lightly, and the depths of the dense forest are good for concealment, and he can get rid of me without anyone else seeing me, but he doesn't know, we know that the first place he chose to assassinate was already buried on the periphery. ”

"The master is thoughtful," Zhong Huan said, "Now we are just waiting for our people to release the news." ”

"Well......" The two waited quietly, the sound of arrows rang in the forest for half an hour before it gradually stopped, and a red-painted arrow suddenly flew from the jungle and stuck straight into the trunk of a nearby tree, Zhong Huan immediately pulled it out and took a closer look, and happily presented it to Qu Boyao: "Everyone is solved, master, where should I go now?" What insidious tricks will the Dog Emperor use next? ”

"Wait and see, see where these wild cranes fly next," he added, "you send them a message to move quickly, and Gongsun Er will send another one as soon as he learns that the first secret guard sent out is dead." ”

Zhong Huan nodded and did so.

Wild cranes with black tails and white feathers fluttered their huge wings and rushed up the staggered treetops, and some wild cranes were hit by arrows, and their white feathers were already dyed red, and they gathered in the air one after another, and after flying two times in unison, they suddenly spread their wings and flew out of the white clouds.

Zhong Huan sent the letter over, just caught a glimpse of the scene above his head, and said hurriedly: "Master, why did the wild cranes fly away?" That guy was too uninteresting. ”

"I probably can't bear to see my beloved things break. The bloody battle was originally disgusted by him, and it was better not to help him, so as not to repay him a lot of favors in the future, and he couldn't stay here any longer, let's change places. ”

"Originally? Didn't you say you didn't know him? Zhong Huan turned his horse's head around with him, walked behind him and asked: "Master, it seems that the Dog Emperor seems to trust Commander Xu very much, and even asked him and the dark guard to organize this first assassination in advance, but unfortunately the back is fully handed over to the dark guard, and next, I don't know what kind of danger there will be, otherwise, let's find a place to hide?" So he couldn't find it. ”

When the words fell, he couldn't hear Qu Boyao answer, Zhong Huan reminded him: "Master? …… What are you thinking? ”

"It's nothing," Qu Boyao said, "Gongsun Er still believes in Xu Lingjian, but this first assassination failed, he will know that we have also set up people around the people he arranged, then someone must have leaked secrets, Gongsun Er will be the first to suspect Xu Lingjian......"

"Huh? So what to do? ”

Qu Boyao suddenly reined in his horse, turned around and said, "I'm going to look for her." ”

"He? Who? Commander Xu? Zhong Huan realized for a long time and finally realized: "Oh oh...... Oh, Cui Wanzhi is in the hunting ground monitored by Feng Jianzhi, Feng Jianzhi will definitely send someone to monitor her, as soon as you enter, you are afraid that Feng Wanzhi's people will report to Feng Jianzhi, Feng Jianzhi will immediately report to the ears of the Dog Emperor, maybe the Dog Emperor just wants Cui Wanzhi to enter the forest, and specially took Cui Wanzhi as a bait to lure you, if you go, wouldn't you be fooled? Or don't go to the master. ”

Qu Boyao was a little angry, and whipped her fiercely: "She is always so willful, I don't let her shoot into the forest, she just wants to enter the forest, I asked Lou Qin to take care of her, she just doesn't go to her team, the person I sent to take care of her hasn't reported back yet, it should have happened to her." ”

Zhong Huan: "Cui Wanshi didn't shoot either...... Don't worry, master, maybe the person who reported the news didn't find the master. ”

"It's impossible for the person who reported the news not to find me, something must have happened."

Zhong Huan: "If the Dog Emperor really wants to use her as bait, even if she doesn't enter the forest, he will try his best to get her in and lure you into the bait, and use her to lure you to the bait, even if you die, you will go, right?" The more Zhong Huan spoke, the more anxious he became, and hurriedly put the horse in front of him and begged: "Master, I beg you not to go, if you ruin your years of hard work for her alone, it's not worth it, it's really not worth it!" ”

"What's the matter with you? Get out of the way. ”

Zhong Huan shook his head, blushed and said, "It's really not worth it, it's just a woman, why are you so stupid?" If you are defeated, as Li Bo said, how can you have the face to meet your dead father and queen mother? After the deed is completed, the whole world is yours, what kind of woman does not have, it is not impossible to find a woman who looks similar to her! What's better about her? She's the daughter of a traitor who killed your father's king!" ”

He suddenly drew his sword, the green tendons in his hand burst out, pointed at him angrily, and roared, "You get out of the way!" ”
