Chapter 110: Chapter Revenge and Qiong
Li An naturally knew what was happening on the top of the mountain, and replied with a relaxed expression: "Xi Shilang don't worry, the assassin intends to sneak attack us, but his trick has been discovered by his humble position. ”
Xi Yu breathed a sigh of relief and praised: "Captain Li is really powerful, he once again smashed the assassin's conspiracy, Your Majesty didn't see the wrong person." ”
This is Xi Yu's heartfelt appreciation, since the last incident in the Ghost Howling Valley, Xi Yu has already affirmed Li An's ability, and at this moment, Li An once again anticipated the enemy's opportunity, which made Xi Yu even more admired.
Li An opened his mouth to say a few words of humility, and told Xi Yu that he deliberately let go of the surviving assassins and sent Li Feiyu to follow them quietly, and finally found that the assassins were building a dam and intended to attack them by water.
When Xi Yu heard this, he broke out in a cold sweat, and praised Li An again, you must know that once the assassin's conspiracy succeeds, more than 1,000 of them will all enter the old water to feed the fish.
"Big brother, I'm back, most of the assassins were wiped out, but unfortunately two or three ran away."
Li Feiyu led several warriors and ran down from the top of the mountain.
Xi Yu was stunned: "Why are there only these few, the fighting just now was so intense, there should be dozens of people!" ”
Li Feiyu hurriedly clenched his fists and said: "Back to Xi Shilang, there are more than forty assassins, and there are more soldiers and horses led by the lowly office, but in order to prevent accidents from happening at the embankment, the lowly officials let them guard the embankment on the mountain, and then evacuate when the main force passes here." ”
Xi Yu grinned and said appreciatively: "Yes, yes, it's really thoughtful, but the existence of the embankment is always a scourge, and if it collapses, it will inevitably cause casualties to passers-by." ”
Li An understood, looked at Zhang Guangsheng behind him, and said: "Guangsheng, you lead a hundred brothers to stay here, and after the main force leaves, all the roads in front and behind the ten miles will be blocked, and no one will be allowed to pass, and then the dam will be demolished so as not to leave hidden dangers." ”
"Obey."
Zhang Guangsheng shouted his order.
Xi Yu and Li An glanced at each other, slowly sat back in the car, and Li An waved his hand to let the team continue to move forward.
Hamiguo, who fled in the wilderness, stopped out of breath after running for more than ten miles, turned around and looked back, only two subordinates followed, and the rest were naturally all killed.
Hamigo has grown so big, he has never suffered such a huge setback, this defeat is a bigger blow to him than the failure to assassinate Ang Lee, last time, he can still say that he is not fully prepared, and this time, he is so seamlessly prepared, how can he be defeated? What went wrong?
"You say, how could the Tang army know the location of the dam, how could they know?"
Hamigo glared fiercely at the two subordinates.
"Hamiguo, we have been staying in the mountains and have never left, it is impossible to be discovered by the Tang army, only you went to Chen Cangcheng, maybe you were followed by the Tang army on the way back!"
"What, I was followed by the Tang Army?"
Hamiguo was furious and scolded: "Impossible, this is impossible, what kind of person is I, Hamiguo, how can I be followed by the Tang Army, it must be you waste, you didn't hide yourself well, and showed your feet." ”
Although he strongly scolded his subordinates, however, Hamigo also began to feel a little weak in his heart, and he suddenly thought of something unusual.
After the failure of the assassination of Li An, the officers and soldiers of Chen Cangcheng closed all the city gates in order to arrest him, but on the premise of not catching him, they suddenly opened all the city gates, which was very unusual, and he was also aware of this at the time, but he did not think too much about it.
And after running out of Chen Cangcheng, he was in a hurry to quickly join his subordinates, and did not pay attention to the situation behind him, only glanced back before turning into the woods, and at that glance, he seemed to see two horses in a long distance.
"Could it be that the two horsemen and horses in the distance are the Tang Army, and they deliberately let me out of the city because they wanted to capture me." ’
The more Hamigo thought about it, the more he felt that it was his own imperceptibility, and that the whole plan had failed, and he suddenly felt a great remorse in his heart.
'Ang Li, you are really amazing, I underestimated you. ’
Hamigo gritted his teeth, eager to break Li An's body into pieces.
"Hamigo, now that we're the three of us, what should we do?"
Hamiguo sighed: "There is a captain in the Tang Army named Li An, this person is very powerful, with him, a few of us will definitely not be able to kill Zhao Yufu, it is better to return to China quickly and ask the master for his guilt!" ”
"This ......"
"We have no choice for this, if you want to die, go and assassinate!"
Hamigo glanced at his subordinates and continued to move forward.

Since the annihilation of the Tibetan assassins in the Ghost Howling Valley and the conspiracy of Chen Cangdao to see through the Hami fruit water attack, Li An's prestige has been greatly improved and has become the backbone of the entire team.
At the same time, the assassin who intended to assassinate the king of Guichang seemed to have been frightened by Ang Lee's bravery and wisdom, and never dared to provoke again, and the entire team was not attacked for more than ten days.
Chencang Road is in the territory of Fengzhou, out of Chencang Road into Xingzhou, Liangzhou, and then from the Jinniu Road into Lizhou, then through Jianzhou, Mianzhou, Hanzhou, and finally into Yizhou.
Yizhou is a rare rich place in Datang, and Datang has the saying of 'Yang Yi Yi Er', which means that Yangzhou is the richest, Yizhou ranks second, and Yizhou is the richest state and county after Yangzhou.
At the same time, Yizhou is also the location of the Jiannan Provincial Governance Office, and the government of the Jiannan Jiedu envoy is in Yizhou City.
Entering Yizhou, it is not far from the East Woman Country, Li An discussed with Zhao Yufu and Xi Yu, and decided to rest in Yizhou City for a day, so that the soldiers could have a good rest.
The team of Zhao Yufu, the king of Guichang, entered Yizhou City, and as the number one leader of Yizhou, Zhang Qiu and Qiong naturally had to lead a group of officials to greet him, in order to show his respect for the king of Guichang.
The compliments and greetings are just polite words, and Li An doesn't have much interest in these, so he has been hiding behind, besides, Xi Yu's official position far exceeds him, so it is natural for Xi Yu to stand in front and show off.
"Xi Shilang, I heard that you have been attacked by assassins many times along the way, and King Guichang has been in danger many times, but in the end, all of them have been saved from danger, this is really blessed by the heavens!"
Zhang Qiu and Qiong stroked their beards and looked sideways at Xi Yu, who was walking side by side.
"Heaven forbid?"
Xi Yu shook his head: "If you count on God's blessing, my old bones will either be burned to ashes, or they will be washed into the water to feed the fish." ”
"Hehe, why did Xi Shilang say this?"
Zhang Qiu and Qiong smiled.
Xi Yu glanced slightly at Li An, who was not far behind him, and said softly: "If it weren't for Captain Li, who is both wise and brave, and has repeatedly seen through the assassins' conspiracies, where would the old man have the life to stand here and talk and laugh with Marshal Zhang Qiujie." ”
Zhang Qiu and Qiong glanced back, frowned, and said, "Isn't this person a young hero who broke the army in Ulzhou?" ”
"Exactly."
Xi Yu smiled lightly.
'What a rare young hero, a pillar of the Tang Dynasty! ’
Zhang Qiu and Qiong glanced back at Li An again, and sighed secretly in their hearts.
As the envoy of Jiannan Jiedu with tens of thousands of soldiers, Zhang Qiu and Qiong have long trained a pair of vicious eyes, Li An is tall, dignified, and bright-eyed, and at first glance he is a wise young man full of confidence.
Zhang Qiu and Qiong are good at military affairs, and can be regarded as a more powerful general in the Tang Dynasty, he has a lot of research on military affairs, and after hearing about Ang Lee's exploits in Ulzhou, he drew these classic battle examples on paper and analyzed Ang Lee's way of using troops.
However, he had never seen a snowboard, and he had no understanding of the performance of this new weapon, so no matter how he analyzed it, he could not understand how Li An annihilated nearly a thousand troops without a single casualty of his own.

"Captain Li, Marshal Zhang Qiu is here to visit."
After dinner, Li An was going to Zhao Yufu to learn the Tibetan language, but unexpectedly, Zhang Qiu and Qiong suddenly came to visit, which disrupted Li An's established plan, and at the same time, it also made Li An quite surprised, after all, Zhang Qiu and Qiong are a festival envoy, and his status is much greater than his own captain, if he wants to see himself, just find a subordinate to summon him, where do you need to come to visit in person.
Li Anxin was puzzled, but he immediately greeted him.
"Right Longwu Captain Li An, meet Marshal Zhang Qiujie."
Li An saluted respectfully.
Zhang Qiu and Qiong smiled lightly: "Captain Li doesn't have to be polite, I have something to ask, go in and talk about it!" ”
After speaking, he strode towards the gazebo not far away.
Li An followed behind Zhang Qiu and Qiong, always with doubts in his heart, Zhang Qiu and Qiong are also a temperance envoy, why do you still have to ask yourself for advice? What a shameful question!
Zhang Qiu and Qiong didn't talk nonsense, and directly took out a map of Ulzhou from his arms, spread it on the stone platform, and asked Li An about some things that he couldn't figure out.
Seeing this, Li An suddenly realized that this can't be blamed on Zhang Qiu and Qiong's poor comprehension, but the fact that the snowboard, an artifact from later generations, makes it difficult for people in this era to understand, that is to say, Zhang Qiu and Qiong can't think of how skis come and go in the snow.
In his opinion, isn't a snowboard just an ordinary piece of wood? Isn't it nonsense that you can fly in the snow by stepping on two pieces of wood under your feet? If you don't kill someone, it's light.
Li An patiently and meticulously told Zhang Qiu and Qiong about the principle of skis and how to use the knowledge, but because there was no snow in Yizhou at the moment, Li Ang had no way to demonstrate it in person, for this reason, Zhang Qiu and Qiong were always a little puzzled, and he couldn't think of how to move freely by stepping on two pieces of wood under his feet.
"Forget it, it seems that the official can't figure it out, and when I have a chance in the future, I will definitely see for myself how amazing this ski is."
Zhang Qiu and Qiong shook their heads, not bothering about the performance of the snowboard.
However, as soon as the problem of skis passed, Zhang Qiu and Qiong took out another map.
