Chapter 483: The Mastermind Behind the Scenes

These Assassins could never have dreamed that the army had set a trap for them. Seeing that only one frame remained in the tent, and that it was surrounded by hundreds of tiger guards, they tried to jump into the tunnel to escape knowing that if they continued to fight, everyone would have to explain that they were here. Who knew that Rob had long been guarding against them, and during the fight, he had already kicked the screen over and blocked the entrance to the tunnel.

Seeing that his retreat had been cut off, the remaining assassins could only fight the trapped beasts. But the surrounding archers naturally did not give these outlaws a chance, and with Chen Zhi's order, they fired a volley of arrows, immediately shooting these assassins into hedgehogs.

Seeing that the assassins in the tent had all been shot to death, Chen Zhi did not take it lightly, and pointed at a man holding a tiger guard next to him, and said, "You guys go down and have a look." ”

The Tiger Guard chief said yes and rushed into the tent with his men. After removing the screen covering the entrance of the tunnel, Shi Chang, who held a torch in one hand and a short knife in the other, took the lead and jumped into the entrance.

Watching Shi Chang lead people into the tunnel to inspect, Chen Zhi was directing the others to clean up the assassin's body, Dian Wei walked to Han Zhan's side with a double halberd, pointed at the assassin who was tied up by five flowers, and said, "Lord, how to deal with this assassin." ”

Han Zhan glanced at the assassin who was dressed in black and covered in mud, and said coldly: "Ziman, you go and ask, who is the one who instigated him to assassinate Benhou?" ”

Seeing that Han Zhan had handed over the interrogation of the assassin to himself, Dian Wei knocked each other with the halberds, making a piercing sound of metal impact, and then gritted his teeth and said, "Don't worry, my lord, I will definitely ask the mastermind from the assassin's mouth." ”

A tiger guard guarding the gate of the village hurriedly walked over, bowed down and saluted Han Zhan with a fist: "Lord Qi, General Zhao, Guo Junshi and others heard that the lord was in danger, so they specially rushed over to visit, and now they are staying at the gate of the village, I don't know if they will let them in?" ”

"Let them in!" Since Zhao Yun, Guo Jia and others came to visit him specifically, if they didn't see him behind closed doors, it would be too unkind, so he instructed the other party: "Let them all come to the big tent to see me." ”

Han Zhan, under the escort of Xiahou Yun and Luo Bu, came to the big tent and just sat down, when he saw Zhao Yun, Guo Jia, Huang Zhong, Xun You, Tai Shici and others pouring in from outside. After everyone saluted Han Zhan, Guo Jia took the lead and asked, "My lord, I heard that an assassin broke into the military camp and assassinated you, I wonder if the assassin has taken it?" ”

"Except for one survivor, the rest of the assassins who broke into the tent have been killed on the spot." After Han Zhan beckoned everyone to sit down, he said apologetically, "Let everyone worry about Benhou's affairs." ”

"Lord!" In front of everyone, Zhao Yun couldn't call Han Zhan his second brother anymore, so he could only ask respectfully: "The camp is heavily guarded, I don't know how the assassins infiltrated?" ”

All the civil and military officers who came to visit Han Zhan all had the same question in their hearts, the military camp was so heavily guarded, and the assassins could still break in, could it be that they flew in with their armpit wings? Since Zhao Yun asked this question on behalf of everyone, everyone's eyes were focused on Han Zhan, waiting for him to say the answer that everyone wanted to know.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you must not have imagined that these assassins did not infiltrate the barracks at all." Han Zhan saw that everyone's eyes were focused on him, so he said unhurriedly, "They came out of the ground. ”

"What, out of the ground?" Han Zhan's words caused an uproar, and everyone looked at each other, thinking that it was simply incredible. Huang Zhong got up and asked, "Lord, could it be that these assassins are proficient in the art of retreat?" ”

"Where do they know how to escape from the earth?" Han Zhan snorted coldly and continued, "They just calculated where we might camp and dug a tunnel here in advance to hide the assassins in it. ”

As soon as Han Zhan's words were finished, Chen Zhi walked in with Shi Chang, who had gone to explore the tunnel. When Han Zhan saw Chen Zhi entering the tent, he hurriedly asked him, "Uncle Zhi, what did you find in the tunnel?" ”

"Returning to the lord," Chen Zhi replied, "the chief who went to explore the tunnels has returned, and he said that the whole tunnel is two miles long, leading to a small hill outside the barracks. ”

"The tunnel is two miles long?" Han Zhan was taken aback by Chen Dao's words, he didn't expect the tunnel leading to his sleeping tent to be so long, he hurriedly asked the chief: "Ben Hou asked you, is the tunnel newly dug?" ”

Shi Chang shook his head and replied, "Lord Qiqi, after a small careful investigation, I found that the pile outside this tunnel is all old soil, and it has been excavated for at least three months. ”

Han Zhan waved his hand, signaled him to stand back, and said to everyone: "It seems that Benhou has really become a thorn in the side of some important ministers in the court, in order to get rid of Benhou, they are planning to start preparing a few months ago. If it weren't for Dian Wei, Chen Zhi and others to be vigilant, it is estimated that Ben Hou's head would have been cut off by the assassins, and he would have asked those courtiers for credit. ”

"Lord!" Seeing Han Zhan's look full of righteous indignation, the Chinese Wu was also agitated. Guo Jia took the lead and asked, "I wonder if the assassins have confessed, who are they responsible for?" ”

"Ben Hou has ordered Dian Wei to interrogate the Assassin." Han Zhan replied, "Presumably he can get the news that Ben Hou wants to know." At this point, he paused for a moment, and then instructed Chen Zhi, "Shuzhi, go to Ziman and have a look, see if the assassin has confessed?" ”

Chen Zhi agreed, turned around and walked out of the tent. As soon as he walked out of the tent, he saw Dian Wei coming in a hurry, and he hurriedly greeted him and asked, "General Ziman, but the interrogation has a result?" ”

"That's right," Dian Wei nodded, and replied, "I have come to report to the lord." ”

"General Ziman, the lord sent me to look for you." Chen Zhi said to Dian Wei: "Since you have the result, let's go to see the lord together." ”

Seeing that Chen Zhi had just walked out of the big tent, he brought Dian Wei in, and the civil and military forces in the tent were very surprised, how could they come back so quickly. Han Zhan saw Dian Wei following Chen Zhi into the big tent, and hurriedly stood up, and couldn't wait to ask, "Ziman, have you ever asked what the result is?" ”

"Enlighten the lord!" Dian Wei replied angrily, "The Assassins have confessed, and the person who instructed them to assassinate the lord is Yang Qi, the servant. ”

"Yang Qi in the waiter?" When Han Zhan heard this unfamiliar name, his face showed a confused expression, and after his gaze swept over the Wenwu in the tent one by one, he asked, "Wait, who is he?" ”

"Enlighten the lord!" Xun You walked to the middle of the tent, bowed down and replied: "Yang Qi is the great-great-grandson of Taiwei Yang Zhen, who has few ambitions, does not take the name of family prestige, befriends heroes, and has two hundred disciples in the middle of the Henan Clan Realm. ”

"Ben Hou has no grievances with him in the past, and there is no enmity in the near future, why did he send someone to assassinate Ben Hou?" Han Zhan felt that he had never heard of this Yang Qi before, why did he send someone to assassinate him, this matter was really too puzzling: "What is the deep hatred that makes him have to put Ben Hou to death?" ”

Hearing Han Zhan's question, the entire tent suddenly fell silent, even if someone knew in their hearts that Yang Qi was going to send someone to assassinate Han Zhan, probably because he was worried that he would become the second Dong Zhuo. But after the assassination incident just now, no one dared to touch this moldy head, and easily said the real reason.
