"Oh oh oh ......"

The Tibetan Assassins roared excitedly and chased each other on horseback, rushing into the encirclement of the Tang army.

Li Kunxiong drew his strong bow, aimed at the leader of the Tibetan assassins who was running at the forefront, and ordered loudly: "Release the arrows." As soon as he finished speaking, he shot an arrow in his hand.

"Whoosh ......"

One hundred and fifty officers and men of the Tang Army shot the arrows in their hands almost simultaneously.

"Uh...... Wow......"

The Tibetan Assassins were in a state of extreme excitement, completely unaware that on the retreating hilltop path, they would ambush a Tang army of soldiers and horses, and they were caught off guard by arrows one after another, and suffered extremely heavy losses.

Li Kunxiong would not give these Tibetan assassins a chance to flee for their lives, and after three rounds of arrow rain, he raised his spear and shouted: "Soldiers, destroy them all, kill ......"

One hundred and fifty officers and soldiers of the Tang Army immediately jumped up from the ambush and rushed towards the surviving Tibetan assassins.

Under the attack of three rounds of arrow rain, the Tibetan assassins had lost most of them, and all the men and horses were wounded, how could they still resist the attack of several times the elite Tang army, and most of them were beheaded in a very short period of time.

"Stop, leave a few alive."

Li Feiyu blocked several soldiers of the Longwu Army and personally captured two Tibetan assassins.

Li Kunxiong killed for a while, and his heart felt greatly refreshed, and he patted Li Feiyu on the shoulder: "Let's go, meet with the eldest brother." ”

One hundred and fifty Tang soldiers, escorting two captured Tibetan assassins, led by Li Kunxiong, marched to the valley where Li An was located.

The frame of the attacked King Guichang was still burning violently, and the surrounding grass and trees were also ignited, and the fire and smoke at the scene completely blocked the road, and Zhang Erniu and others at the front could not return through the fire, and the team could not pass for the time being, so they could only passively wait for the fire to be extinguished.

Li An guarded Zhao Yufu, the king of Guichang, and stood less than twenty steps behind the fire with Xi Yu and others, quietly looking at the burning fire.

Seeing his frame surrounded by raging fire, his attendants and guards were engulfed by the fire, Zhao Yufu's mood is conceivable, people have feelings, whether it is for items or people, it is so, familiar carriages, familiar attendants and guards, say no, it is gone, this is a great blow to people's psychology, it will naturally make people sad and lonely.

Xi Yu gasped a few times from time to time, looked at Li An beside him, and wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to speak.

He knew that he was able to escape the catastrophe, it was the credit of Li An, he should thank Li An, and said that he would not interfere with Li An's itinerary in the future, but he couldn't pull this face, after all, he was much higher than Li An in terms of official position and age, and it was indeed quite difficult for him to take the initiative to show favor to Li An.

Li An had already noticed that Xi Yu was looking at him frequently, how could he not understand Xi Yu's thoughts.

"Xi Shilang, just now the assassin suddenly launched a sneak attack, you weren't hurt, right?"

"No, isn't this good?"

"That's good, Li An underestimated this time, and he didn't expect the assassin to launch a fire attack, which frightened Xi Shilang."

Li An's attitude was extremely humble, with an expression of great concern for Xi Yu.

Seeing this, Xi Yu was in a good mood: "Captain Li can understand that the assassins are ambushed here, it is already very remarkable, this time it should be thanks to Captain Li's arrangement, otherwise, this official and King Guichang are only afraid...... In short, everything from now on is about safety, and secular etiquette is not too much to worry about. ”

"Yes, as long as Li An is here, he will definitely escort King Guichang and Xi Shilang Quan."

Xi Yu nodded again and again, and his heart was even happier: "By the way, how did Captain Li know that the assassins would be ambushed here?" ”

Li An did not hide it, and told the post general that he found a suspicious person passing by Ma Weiyi, as well as his judgment after hearing the news.

When Xi Yu heard this, he couldn't help but praise Li An, in his opinion, Li An was thoughtful and a talent who could do great things.

"Report, Captain Li, our army has attacked the top of the mountain, but the assassins have all run away, there are horseshoe prints on the road on the top of the mountain, they have run away, and our army can't catch up."

A dragon warrior was running back panting to report the situation.

"This group of hateful assassins actually let them run away."

Xi Yu scolded hatefully.

Li An grinned and looked at Xi Yu: "Xi Shilang, since you have already guessed that the assassins will be ambushed here, how can you let them escape, if there is no accident, these hateful assassins have been completely wiped out by our army." ”

"Annihilated?"

Xi Yu's surprised eyes were full of joy.

"Report, Captain Li, the assassins have been completely wiped out by our army, and two assassins have been captured alive."

A soldier of the Longwu Army galloped back.

When Xi Yu heard this, he looked at Li An incredulously and praised: "Captain Li is really powerful, not only guessed that the assassins were ambushed in the Ghost Howling Valley, but also annihilated them all, amazing, amazing!" ”

Li An grinned and said humbly: "Xi Shilang has won the award, but although these assassins have been completely annihilated, we still don't know how many assassins Tubo has sent, so along the way, we still have to be extremely careful." ”

Xi Yu frowned and nodded: "What Captain Li said is that the ambition of the Tibetan wolf will not be given up like this, and along the way, it will take a lot of hard work for Captain Li." ”

"This is a lowly duty, not hard work."

"Big brother, big brother."

Li Kunxiong and Li Feiyu rode their horses with two Tibetan assassins, followed by one hundred and fifty Tang soldiers.

Li An was overjoyed and stretched out his hand to greet them.

"Big brother, we captured two assassins alive, and killed the rest."

"Big brother, this time thanks to the post general, if he hadn't personally led the way, it would have been impossible for us to reach the place where the Tibetan assassins must pass so quickly, and the post general should be the first to take the lead."

Li An stretched out his hand and pulled the post general and looked at Xi Yu: "Xi Shilang, this is the post general of Ma Weiyi, if it weren't for his knowledge of the nearby terrain, he would never be able to eliminate these assassins in one fell swoop. ”

Xi Yu smiled and nodded: "Okay, this official will tell His Majesty truthfully, and the post general will wait to receive the reward!" Ha ha! ”

"Thank you for your humble position."

Xi Yu stroked his beard happily and looked at Li An: "Captain Li, those two assassins who were captured alive must be interrogated well." ”

"Yes, I understand."

The fire would continue for some time, and the group had to wait for the fire to be extinguished before they could continue on their way, and in this interval, Li An took Kunxiong Feiyu and escorted the two Tibetan Assassins to the south side of the mountain, and subjected them to a surprise interrogation.

Although Li An only learned the Tibetan language for a short time, and the Tibetan language was not very smooth, he was gifted, and he could still have some simple conversations with the Tibetan assassins, as long as the Tibetan assassins spoke slowly, he could understand.

After Li An's continuous interrogation, the two Tibetan assassins had already admitted that they were assassins sent by Tubo to assassinate King Guichang, but they all said that they did not know about the spies who contacted them around King Guichang, as well as the collusion between Tubo and the Dongnu royal family, and moreover, Li An's repeated attempts were fruitless, and it could be seen from their expressions that they really didn't know anything.

It's no wonder that they are all small people in Tubo, and they are only responsible for assassinating King Guichang, as for the collusion between Tubo and the Dongnu royal family, how can they, the little minions, know about it, and the spies around King Guichang will only contact a few people such as the leader of the assassins, and these people have all been killed, so Li An can't ask about anything of value now.

"Big brother, since you can't ask anything useful, it's better to cut it with a knife! Keeping it is also a waste of food. ”

Li Kunxiong said and pulled out the horizontal knife at his waist.

Li An hurriedly waved his hand: "No, it's useless for these two people to stay." ”

"Big brother, they don't look like Tibetan officials, what's the use of keeping them."

Li An smiled at the corner of his mouth: "Big brother still expects to use them to fish out the spies around King Guichang?" Listen, watch them well. ”

"Don't worry, big brother, it will be foolproof."

After the fire in the Ghost Howling Valley was extinguished, there was still smoke on the ground, and Li An asked the soldiers of the baggage army to go and clear the road so that the whole team could leave the Ghost Howling Valley.

Before dusk, the road was finally reopened, and Ang Lee led the team slowly and out of the precipitous Ghost Howling Valley before the sun set.

Outside the Ghost Howling Valley is a considerable open field, which is very suitable for camping, at this time, it is getting late, more than 1,000 people and horses under the command of Li An, camped on the spot, and the heavy men and horses immediately began to bury the pot and cook.

After dinner, it was completely dark, and Zhang Guangsheng and Zhang Erniu strode into Ang Lee's tent.

"Guangsheng, Erniu, you're here."

"Captain Li, is there anything we need to do?"

Li An smiled lightly: "Guangsheng, Erniu, I give you a very important task, you immediately spread the gossip to me, just say that the captured Tubo assassin has confessed that there are spies around King Guichang, it is late today, tomorrow the Tubo assassins will personally identify the spies, remember, you must spread it quietly, and you must not let the spies see the flaws." ”

"Obey."

Zhang Guangsheng and Zhang Erniu hugged their fists to receive their orders and strode away from the big tent.

"Captain Li, King Guichang is invited."

Li An smiled lightly: "Okay, I'll go over right away." ”

Zhao Yufu had promised Li An that he would personally teach him the Tibetan script every day after dinner, and at this time he would send an attendant to remind him and let Li An hurry up to learn.

With a relaxed and happy mood, Li An strode towards Zhao Yufu's camp and walked in without hindrance.

"Captain Li, why are you here so late today, and I have to send someone to remind you."

There was a slight hint of dissatisfaction in Zhao Yufu's coquettish tone.

Li An glanced at the five or six maids in the big tent and explained, "King Guichang is angry, and Li An interrogated the Tibetan assassins, so it took some time. ”

"Oh, you've only been studying for such a short time to be able to understand the Tibetan dialect."

Li An said proudly: "Not only can I understand the Tubo dialect, but I also found out from their mouths that there are spies among the entourage of King Guichang, it is getting late today, and I will let them come and identify them one by one tomorrow." ”
