Chapter 25: The Assassins
Wolong Valley is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the peaks are steep and towering! There is only one road in the valley, which is a fortress of the Yan Kingdom. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
In order to hurry, the soldiers wore stars and moons last night until the early hours of the morning, and everyone was extremely tired.
The rapid march for several days had exhausted the physical strength of the prince dragon rhino, and as the commander of the 100,000 army, he could only grit his teeth and insist.
When they arrived in Wolong Valley, the east had just begun to turn white, and the soldiers hurriedly set up their tents and began to light a fire to cook.
The dragon rhino didn't care about getting tired, and took two guards with him to climb the nearby mountain.
Standing on the top of the mountain, watching a round of golden morning sun rising from the east, everything in the world was bathed in the golden morning light in an instant, and the spectacular scene made the prince who had been languishing for days suddenly excited.
"That person will be bathed in this morning light one step before me!" The dragon rhino thought softly.
After breakfast, Ding Tai arranged for the guards on duty, and the rest of the soldiers rested in place.
The entire Wolong Valley is quiet, and it doesn't look like there are 100,000 troops stationed here.
The dragon rhino lay in the tent and fell into a deep sleep after a while.
Everyone is so tired, the barracks of Nuoda are quiet without a sound! Except for more than 100 guards, the rest all fell asleep in their tents.
"Come on! There are assassins! Someone shouted.
Xuan Tie got up as soon as he could, and the prince's tent was on the left side, "Hurry up and escort!" Xuantie shouted as he galloped into the dragon rhino's tent.
The bedding in the tent was neatly stacked, but there was no trace of the prince!
"Your Highness!" Xuan Tie only felt that the hairs on his body stood up instantly!
"Your Highness!" He screamed as he ran out of the tent, only to find that the sun had set.
The night was getting darker and darker, and someone had already lit a torch.
"Where is Your Highness?" Blackiron grabbed the guard by the collar.
The guards were terrified! Hurriedly responded, "Lord Xuantie! Half an hour ago, His Highness said that he wanted to go out to breathe! The guard raised his hand and pointed, "Go that way!" ”。
The dragon rhino looked in the direction pointed by the guard, and the place where the dragon rhino was going was a small hill, "Are there any guards following?" ”
"Yes! The four personal guards are all by His Highness's side! ”
Xuantie breathed a sigh of relief at this time.
Ding Tai hurriedly ran over from a distance with more than a dozen guards, "General Xuantie! An uninvited guest broke into the barracks! The brothers have taken him down! Just wait for His Highness to fall! ”
"Ding Tai! His Highness is not in the tent! Xuantie said.
"What?" Ding Tai nervously clenched the handle of the knife at his waist.
Xuantie pointed to a small hill not far away, "Don't be nervous! His Royal Highness just felt bored, and went out to breathe! Luckily, there were four guards with him! ”
"General Xuantie! I'm going to go and bring His Highness back!" You'd better check it out first! Ding Tai pointed ahead, "That assassin looks, looks so strange!" ”
Dozens of soldiers formed a circle with spears in hand, and in the center of the circle was a man who was thin and dirty, with a chicken nest like a mess and weeds in his hair, and was kneeling on the ground shivering.
"This is the assassin?" Xuantie frowned.
"General Xuantie!" One of the soldiers rushed and said, "How did this man sneak in?" When the cook was cooking just now, he found him hiding behind a big iron pot! ”
Xuan Tie was even more puzzled, a stranger could come in this deserted and inaccessible place! How the hell did this person get in? When did you get in? If he mixed in when he was in Sanchahe Town, why hasn't he been found for a few days? If it weren't for the mixing in Sanchahe Town, this deserted place,
Xuantie looked up at the surrounding mountains, "Could it be that you ran out of this mountain?" ”
At this time, a black-faced man took a big step forward and said angrily, "General Xuantie! This man looks sneaky! Sneaking into our barracks, it must be that there is no good intention! Maybe it's an assassin sent by the Khanate on the other side of the mountain, and it's hard to say! Checkmate! Why don't I pick him with one shot right now! After the big black man finished speaking, he spat on the hilt of the spear in his hand.
"Yes, General! This man is either an assassin or a spy! It's better to let the big bull kill him as soon as possible! So as not to cause us trouble!! "The other soldiers were in tune with the order.
For a while, Xuantie also had no idea, what the soldiers said was not unreasonable, this person could not appear here for no reason! But he doesn't look like an assassin or any spy!
Seeing that Xuan Tie did not respond, the big black man named Da Niu thought that he had received tacit approval, raised his spear and stabbed at the thin figure curled up on the ground.
"Wait!" There was a shout behind him!
A figure flew over everyone's heads like lightning and landed lightly beside the big bull.
"Your Highness!" The crowd was shocked.
"Your Highness knows martial arts?" The crowd was in an uproar.
"Your Highness actually knows martial arts!" Someone exclaimed again.
Suddenly, the crowd fell to their knees, "Your Highness Shenwu!" ”
If there were still people who doubted the ability of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince with fair skin and elegant manners before, then at this moment, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince proved with his actions that he was not a wreck!
The dragon rhino looked down at the figure shrunk on the ground, "What's your name?" Where did it come from? What is the purpose of infiltrating the barracks? ”
The man didn't speak, just looked at the dragon rhino with tears in his eyes.
"This king asks you!" The dragon rhino was a little annoyed.
The man remained silent.
"It can't be a mute, can it?" Someone muttered.
"Search!" Long Xi clapped his hands and stood up.
After two or three strokes, several soldiers pressed the man to the ground and touched his whole body.
"Your Highness! Found this! A soldier shook something in his hand.
The thing glowed faintly blue in the moonlight.
A dagger! A tiny dagger.
Long Rhino sneered.
"Your Highness! And this! ”
A soldier holds up a steamed bun with a few black fingerprints on it.
The dragon rhino frowned.
The man stared at the dragon's face the whole time, but his mouth was still tightly closed.
"Kill him!" Long Xi said coldly, turned around and walked towards the camp.
"Brother!" The man suddenly screamed timidly, as soft as a mosquito.
Long Xi was stunned! Turning around suddenly, there was only one person in the world who had called him, "Brother!" "Oh no, it's "Brother Prince!" ”
"What did you just call me?"
The man just looked at him with two lines of tears on his face.
"What did you just call me?" The dragon rhino stepped forward and squatted down and asked softly.
The man was silent, but looked at him timidly.
Long Xi looked at that person carefully, and his appearance and eyes looked like a person.
"Take it away!" The dragon rhino waved at the dark iron beside him.
"Your Highness!" Ding Tai hurriedly stepped forward, "This person's origin is unknown, and there is a murder weapon hidden in his body!" Your Highness! In Weichen's opinion, this person must not stay! It's better to leave it to Wechen to deal with! ”
Long Xi smiled slightly, "This king knows it!" General Ding doesn't have to worry! ”。
