The last assassin fell to Sima Kai's sword.

The Assassin's head was slashed off with a single blow, and he collapsed on the blood-soaked grass with his legs limp.

This attack came so suddenly, if it weren't for the fact that they had been cautious along the way, if it weren't for the fact that these guards had experienced too many bloody battles in the Western Regions in the past few years, they would have really been planted here.

Even Xue Ping and his old servants drew their swords and participated in the battle.

There was a scream from the side, it was Sima Kai's subordinate who grabbed a live mouth and was using some small means to force a confession, the assassin was also tough, obviously suffering inhuman treatment, but he never said anything.

Like a fish thrown ashore, Sima Kai took deep breaths again and again, until he finally felt that he could breathe normally, then he stood up with a knife and walked to Xue Ping's side.

Xue Ping was bandaging his old servant.

Although the old servant is old, he is not a good man and a woman, and he used to be a veteran of killing, but now he is old and his strength is a little lacking, but as an auxiliary force in battle, he is quite qualified. And Xue Ping seems to be a polite scholar, but he was born in a family like the king of Yanping, how could he be a powerless scholar?

Xue Ping's body was also covered in blood, but it was all the enemy's. The old servant was stabbed twice, both of which were wounded by flesh and skin.

Seeing Sima Kai coming, Xue Ping tied the strip of cloth vigorously, stood up, and arched his hand: "Thank you, Brother Sima, if it weren't for you, Xue Ping would really have become fertilizer for this grassland today." ”

This is not wrong, if it weren't for the team of warriors belonging to the Sima clan specially sent by Sima Fan, relying on Xue Ping and his old servants and several guards, Xue Ping was afraid that he would have died too much yesterday to die anymore.

"Xue Duhu, these people are here for you." Sima Kai said with a solemn face: "These people, where are the ordinary rogues?" Looking at yesterday's battle, they simply want to protect your life. ”

Xue Ping smiled slightly: "It's normal, in the past two years, I have destroyed more than ten countries in the Western Regions, and I don't know how many people have been ruined because of me, and now people want my life, it's no longer ordinary." ”

Sima Kai smiled and beckoned, letting his men drag the corpse of an assassin over, the man's coat had been stripped off, revealing the clothes he was wearing close to his body.

"As far as I know, this is the standard configuration of the right guard. Several of these Assassins were like this! Sima Kai said solemnly.

Xue Ping disagreed.

"Right Wuwei has been fighting everywhere over the years, and there are traces of them in the south and north of the desert, and it is normal for some of their equipment to fall into the hands of outsiders, which can be used as evidence." Xue Ping shook his head and said.

There was a sound of footsteps, but it was Sima Kai's two subordinates who dragged the live mouth and walked over.

"He's willing to recruit!" The two soldiers looked happy and threw the living mouth in front of Xue Ping like throwing a rag bag, and the man's body was covered with scars, which were cut by a small knife, and it was terrible to see.

"If you recruit from the truth, it can save your life." Sima Kai said coldly.

"I'll move, I'll move, as long as I can save my life, I don't want to die!" The assassin was visibly devastated, and even burst into tears.

The next confession, although it was expected by Sima Kai, also made him really frightened.

According to the Assassin, they were all subordinates of Zhang Jia, the right guard, and had come on order. The purpose is to kill Xue Ping, and then disguise himself as being attacked by bandits.

Of course, they are not the real Right Guards, but some thugs raised by Zhang Jiayang outside the Right Guards, who were originally specially used to lure those real bandits, and then after giving the Right Guards a briefing, they waited for the Right Guards to strike a fatal blow. This time they were ordered to come, and they didn't know who the person they were going to attack was, but they were given a portrait that they had to kill this person.

Sima Kai was covered in a cold sweat, and the old servant of the Xue family showed anger on his face.

Zhang Jia naturally didn't have the courage to kill a character like Xue Ping, and if he dared to let him do it, it would only be another person who gave him an order.

Xue Ping calmly listened to the confession, then with a blank face, he pulled out the saber at his waist and stabbed the assassin in the chest.

The assassin looked up at Xue Ping in amazement, as if he couldn't believe that Xue Ping had killed him so easily.

Xue Ping grinned and said coldly: "The story is well told, but there are too many flaws. ”

With a sudden draw, the assassin fell to the ground, blood blistering in his mouth, muttering a few words, his body moved a few times, and there was no more movement.

For Xue Ping to kill this assassin, Sima Kai was not too surprised.

"Duhu, next we are going to enter the jurisdiction of Ningxia, it is better to change the route! Go to Gansu, go to meet General Li Cunzhong first and then discuss others? Sima Kai suggested.

"Not necessarily!" Xue Ping waved his hand, "Just follow the original plan and go to Ningxia." Brother Sima, pack up, let's go. ”

The bodies of the brothers who died in the battle were buried on the spot, and as for the Assassins, there was no such good luck. Directly abandoned in place, there will naturally be countless beasts that will follow the smell of blood and return these people to their origins.

The group set off again, Xue Ping half leaned against the wall of the carriage, thoughtfully, on the other side, the injured old servant endured for a long time, and finally couldn't help but ask. "How did Da Lang kill that living mouth and bring it back, it's evidence."

Xue Ping couldn't help laughing: "This person is a dead man, and he is not a person who is a right martial guard at all, he is full of nonsense, but he can't believe half a sentence." ”

"Huh?" The old servant was dumbfounded.

"This place, it is difficult to see people within a radius of 100 miles, if Zhang Jia really does it, how can he send these unpopular thieves over!" Xue Ping sneered: "An important function of Zhang Jia's right guard is to control the south and north of the desert, and the cavalry under his command is mainly cavalry, if they want to kill us, a cavalry can easily make us disappear here silently." If you want to kill me, naturally the fewer people who know, the better, how could Zhang Jia not send his own henchmen and descendants to send these unknown things to be much safer? ”

Maybe Zhang Jia wanted to kill people afterwards. Maybe the cavalry of the Right Guard is hiding around at the moment! The old servant lifted the curtain and looked out a little nervously.

"Don't worry." Xue Ping stretched out his hand and patted the old servant: "Rest assured, I said that if it's not Zhang Jia, it's not Zhang Jia." It would be more appropriate for that dead man to say that he was sent by Xu Ziyuan. But he said that he was Zhang Jia's person. ”

"Why is that?"

"Xu Ziyuan is Li Ze's henchman, Zhang Jia can be regarded as Li Ze's ally more, and I am also a well-known figure in your family, if Li Ze really wants to kill me, how can he use Zhang Jia instead of Xu Ziyuan?" Xue Ping said indifferently.

"Maybe Xu Ziyuan has no one in his hands!"

Xue Ping suddenly laughed: "Do you think that the governor of a province can't even take out this little bit of strength in his hands?" And don't forget, Li Ze still has internal guards! And the assassination methods of the internal guards, how can these three-legged cats be compared, if the internal guards really made a move, we would have died a long time ago, and we would still be able to live until now? ”

"Since it's not Li Ze, who would want Da Lang's life?" The old servant was a little confused.

A faint layer of sadness swelled up on Xue Ping's face: "Some people want to use my death to put a basin on Li Ze's head." That Assassin is a dead man, and if he succeeds in killing us, he will be lucky, and if he can't kill us, he will use it for us to live. He probably didn't think I'd kill him, did you hear the words he said before he died? ”

The old servant was a little ashamed, "I'm old, and my ears aren't very bright. ”

"Actually, I didn't hear it clearly, but I could hear his accent!" Xue Ping exhaled a breath of turbidity: "That person's accent is Lingnan." When he confessed earlier, he spoke an authentic Zhenzhou dialect. Man is dying, but he unconsciously speaks the deepest language in his memory. ”

"Lingnan?" The old servant was shocked. "This, this shouldn't be! It stands to reason that if you go back, you should be of greater help to them, why should they take your life! ”

Xue Ping lowered his eyelids: "Or the current me, for them, is not so important, if I can use a dead buckle on Li Ze's body, maybe it will be even better." ”

"How is this possible?" The old servant said angrily: "Da Lang has always been the leader of the faction that defends the emperor, otherwise, Li Ze would not have driven you far away to the Western Regions." These people, did these people kick the donkey in the head? ”

Xue Ping smiled: "They are all shrewd, how could their heads be kicked by a donkey?" It's just a matter of having another plan. So, now we really can't go to Gansu, we can only go to Ningxia. Walking in Gansu, it may be really dangerous. ”

"I see!" The old servant nodded repeatedly. "But Da Lang, since this is the case, what's the point of you going back?"

"I'm protecting the emperor." Xue Ping closed his eyes a little lazily, obviously not wanting to discuss this topic anymore.

There was no word all the way, and in the evening, just as everyone was preparing to set up camp, the earth shook suddenly, and the people present were all experienced in battle, and when they heard this voice, they knew that it was a large group of cavalry coming, and they were all very panicked for a while. Such a place is a place where you can't escape.

In the blink of an eye, a group of hundreds of cavalry appeared in the field of vision, and the banner of the right guard appeared, but in a few breaths, the cavalry arrived in front of their eyes.

A general with the reins of his horse slowly moved forward: "In front is the convoy of Xue Du of the Western Regions Protectorate, and the last general, Zhang Xing, was ordered to meet Xue Duhu!" ”
