"Instigating ignorant young people to send them to death, the Hassan faction can be described as insidious and vicious," Zhao Xingde sighed secretly and doubted, "This trick has already been spread, why can it still be deceived?" ”

"The princes of the Great Eclipse Turks are all killing the people of the Hassan faction," Sima Jun said in a deep voice, "It's a pity that more than 20 years ago, the Western barbarian Eastern Expeditionary Army burned and looted everywhere, and the Great Eclipse and the Turkic princes were caught off guard and suffered a big loss, and the situation was in chaos. Specialized in assassinating the elders of the Inquisition. ”

Kim Chang-tae wondered, "Why is this?" "He is like a fish in water in the city, but he knows very little about the secrets of these sect conflicts.

Sima Junfang had put a lot of effort into this regard, and said in a low voice: "Some of the elders of the Inquisition have been from the same origin as this Hassan sect for more than a hundred years, but they have gone their separate ways a hundred years ago, and the elders who have been missionaries in our dynasty are willing to accept the control of the Inquisition, and believe that 'knowing the truth is the path to heaven'. However, this Hassan sect is capable of assassination, and it has also been prominent in Da Shi for a while, and even built a country within a country, and assassinated the emperor of Da Shi many times. Before the Western Barbarian Crusade, this Hassan sect could be called a thorn in the back of the Great Food Princes. ”

Wang Tongdeng sneered and said, "If the forces of the Hassan faction want to infiltrate our dynasty, the elder of the Inquisition, who is the most capable of revealing the traitor, has become a roadblock. It's a pity that a hundred years ago, they were still brothers, but they were killers, but they were more vicious than enemies. After the sleeper assassins killed two elders of the Inquisition, the Xia Emperor Long Yan was furious, and the Military Intelligence Department immediately targeted the Hassanists.

The sect also often raided passing merchants, and once the eagle's nest was discovered, it was up to the Shadow Army, who were tasked with protecting the trade routes.

"More than a month ago, this group of people plundered our caravan, and actually killed all the porters, and on the third day, they found that the corpse had been eaten by wild beasts. After a long and unannounced visit, the Military Intelligence Department finally discovered the eagle's nest. Duan Huaixian pointed to the map, a high mountain in the middle of the desert, about more than 100 miles away from the southbound trade route, and said in a deep voice, "It's quite a smooth road." ”

"The eagle's nest has always been built on high mountains, easy to defend and difficult to attack, what strategies do you have to defeat the enemy?"

Zhao Xingde lowered his head and pondered, the generals deliberated for a moment, and Wang Tongdeng offered advice: "As the last general can see, where it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, its exit will be few, as long as the elite soldiers are selected to strangle it, and then all the adulterous residents in the vicinity will be moved." This pretending to be a god will be terrified. At that time, we will send an envoy to recruit them, and when they come down the mountain, they will be captured in one fell swoop, and then handed over to the Military Intelligence Department for detailed torture to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots. ”

This strategy is safe, Duan Huaixian nodded approvingly, and said in a deep voice: "Just follow this strategy and set off tomorrow." ”

The marching Sima stayed behind to assist Duan Huaixian in perfecting the plan for encircling and suppressing the vulture's nest, and planned to send more than ten teams of men and horses to find all the passages up and down the mountain first, and then divide the troops to guard them with bows and crossbows. Although this Assassin faction was elusive, it greeted him with a majestic array of heaven and earth, which also made it impossible for him to escape. Then mobilize the nearby state and county regiments to train troops and the county government to arrest quickly, and assist the military intelligence department to screen the nearby residents one by one, and all adulterers will be killed on the spot according to the "law of suing adultery and sitting" in this dynasty, or send Xiaohai as a hussar military envoy.

Because Zhao Xingde was proficient in the art of observing the sky and positioning, he was also assigned to a detachment that explored the road in advance. The sergeants are strong in martial arts, have horses, and have a detachment of more than ten people, so there is no problem in self-protection. Zhao Xingde has experienced several bloody battles in the river, and his mood is not as dignified as that of some sergeants. This Hassan sect was a strange incident on the way west, and it was recorded in the post station that night, and after preparing to eradicate the eagle's nest, it was sent to Li Ruoxue in Dunhuang to talk about his sorrows. The post post in the Xia country was developed, and the foot of the stagecoach was faster than the march, and if the timing was right, the sergeant could even receive a letter from home in the post station. Zhao Xingde once received Li Ruoxue's letterhead in Gaochang and Shule, "Lonely and deep, soft intestines are sorrowful", and the faint fragrance made him toss and turn.

Chen Kang also promised him that he would inquire about the Chao and Li families in Kanto, as well as Chen Dong, Deng Su and others, and even help him deliver letters to relatives and friends in the Song Kingdom.

At the end of the note, Zhao Xingde wrote: "Human wisdom is limited, how can he speak to the sky." In view of this bizarre state, it is known that what the sage said, 'respecting ghosts and gods and staying away' is the right way to self-cultivation. ”

The night of Kangju has just fallen, Quanzhou, Fujian Road is already in the middle of the moon, under the west window of the study of Taishoufu, the candle flame is far away, Taishou Wang Houju looked at the flower leg book with a pale face, and the book "make the king on behalf of the heavenly shepherd, and serve the power of the traitor, vain the prison, destroy the bones, and bear the grace of the country." The number of the dark and the dark is all cyclical retribution. There is a person who is killed, which makes it difficult for the king's flesh and blood to be complete, and there is a person who breaks the family, so that the king's relatives are not protected. When you think of good and evil, don't blame it for being unpredictable. ”

Mrs. Zhu's face was also pale, and she wiped her tears and said: "This group of strongmen is too vicious, master, Qing'er has not been seen for two days." He couldn't help but sob, "My miserable child." ”

Although the note is vague, Wang Juhou's heart is like a mirror, he has the heart to repay Cai Gongxiang's trust, framed several crimes, and put several gentry in Quanzhou in prison, who expected to stab the hornet's nest, not only every day there are other gentry to make a statement, just in the afternoon, his only son Wang Qing was actually abducted. At dusk, the note appeared silently on the desk. "These lawless bastards." Wang Juhou stood up and slapped his palm on the musk wood table, shaking his palms with a faint pain, "What do you say all day long to read the poetry of sages and sages, and do things like this!" I almost couldn't catch my breath and coughed violently.

Zhu looked at him in horror, and said with a crying voice: "Master, our family is the only seedling, you can't let him be poisoned by those strong people." ”

Wang Houju sat back on the circle chair, closed his eyes, waved his hand, and motioned to Zhu not to disturb him. Five days later, several gentry who were imprisoned in Quanzhou Mansion were all released, and the young son of Taishou was also sent back to the house unconsciously, the child did not distinguish between east and west, north and south, and only said that he was taken to a large sea ship to play for a few days.

In the past ten days, Zhao Xingde and other sergeants of the Chengying Battalion have already investigated the roads near the Assassin Vulture Nest, this is a towering lonely peak, there are three roads to go down the mountain, the people of the Assassin Sect live in the lair on the mountain, and build a checkpoint on the steep mountain road near the lair, and the passage below the mountain is actually not scout guarded, the seventh battalion of Chengying easily blocked the road, and then notified the county government to arrest the rapid and regimental training army to screen the local residents, and identified dozens of families who have converted to the Assassin faction, He also tortured and found that five people participated in the atrocity of ambushing and killing the passing caravan, and they were immediately executed after the public trial.

The assassins, who had been cut off from the route, stormed the checkpoint twice in a panic, and after being shot back by random arrows, they were trapped in the eagle's nest, and were not invited to surrender, just waiting for the Xia army to attack. The battle situation was decided, Duan Huaixian didn't want these outlaws to waste time, and planned to attack, Zhao Xingde offered a plan to attack with fire, which was adopted by Duan Huaixian. So he mobilized the stone throwers, fire oil bombs, etc., and used camel carts to transport thousands of catties of gunpowder, and whenever the wind was favorable, he threw these igniters towards the pass of the Assassin sect guarding the passage up the mountain, only to burn there and could not stop.
