CHAPTER XIX
Lunch was only half an hour, but it made Li Zhige worried, and his days were like years. He wanted to make time stand still, but it was whimsical.
Nibbling on the steamed buns in his hand one bite at a time, Li Zhige felt that it was difficult to swallow, and everyone in the camp was silent, they didn't know that Liang Kaidong was a Huns, and they didn't know what the whole thing had happened, they only knew that their eldest brother was very sad, and they were also sad. Seven brothers with one heart, it's not a joke.
There was silence in the tent, and a single needle could be heard on the ground, except for the sound of them chewing and swallowing.
Zhao Wulian and Chen Wuping have been guessing that Li Zhige caught the Hun assassins, Wang Ziyan was arrested, two black-clothed assassins assassinated Wang Ziyan, and Li Zhige and Liang Kaidong went up the mountain to collect medicinal herbs, what is the connection. They don't know the key, and they certainly can't guess.
At this moment, Liang Kaidong's voice suddenly broke the silence in the tent, "I'm going to go outside to relax." ”
"Don't go far." Li Zhige's eyes were bloodshot, and his voice trembled slightly and said to Liang Kaidong.
Liang Kaidong nodded, he didn't feel good in his heart, if Li Zhige didn't save him, he would probably have been forced to ask about his background a long time ago, maybe he would be used as a bargaining chip to threaten the emperor, or he would be killed as an undercover Hun agent because he had no use value.
Liang Kaidong stood outside the tent and walked around, sitting on a rock that had been weathered and eroded, pitted and hollowed, and took out a jade flute of ordinary material from his left sleeve, but it radiated a dazzling light in the sunlight. It seems that there are only him and the jade flute in this world.
This jade flute was a send-off gift from his mother, and in addition to this, he had another function............
The lips opened slightly, and a long flute sounded, sometimes tactful and soft, sometimes mournful for a long time, and the flute sound was melodious, and the piper's heart was not calm. The whole barracks could hear it, and it couldn't help but make people sad and sigh up to the sky.
Liang Kaidong on the rock is like a graceful young man in the turbid world, and like a prodigal son in the unruly rivers and lakes, the autumn wind blows through the long hair fluttering, just like the wind elf dancing.
"Why should Qiang Di complain about the willows, the spring breeze does not pass the Yumen Pass!" Li Zhige let out a long groan, Li Zhige got up, what should come will always come.
Li Zhige clenched his fists and walked out with easy steps.
In front of Li Qianling's tent.
The tent was already crowded with soldiers, and they all wanted to know who the assassin was. Now that the various teams have been checked, only Li Zhige and Wang Ziyan are in the team.
"Let go of me~!" The soldiers on the same team as Wang Ziyan still shouted. But when he saw Wang Ziyan, who was kneeling in front of Li Qianling, covered in dirt and dirty, with dull and unwavering eyes, he was stunned, is this still their captain, or the prince who loves cleanliness?
The leader was the soldier who had burned his leg by Wang Ziyan, he didn't say a word, just silently let the soldier push at will, "Go to the right~ Are you dumb!" ”
"Big brother...... He...... He's just mute. ”
The soldiers on his team reminded in a whisper.
The scalded soldier looked back at him indifferently and turned back again.
"Alas~ I guess it's not you, brother, you take care of yourself." The soldier who had brought them lowered his voice and patted him on the shoulder in comfort.
He nodded and said nothing.
All the people suspected of this assassination gathered in the field, Li Zhige and Liang Kaidong, Wang Ziyan and Tulu, Wang Ziyan and Li Zhige's teammates.
"Li Zhige, lift the back of your clothes and check it for me." Li Qianling called the soldier who had stabbed the assassin to take a look, and the soldier shook his head slightly.
"No~" Li Qianling was a little surprised, he thought that Li Zhige would kill him because he had a grudge against the prince.
At first, Li Qianling didn't turn the corner, this collusion with the Xiongnu and the assassination of Wang Ziyan are two different things, in case Li Zhige wants to use this matter to deliberately assassinate Wang Ziyan.
The five brothers were secretly relieved, but Li Zhige's courage was raised.
I saw the soldier walking towards Liang Kaidong, slowly lifting his black robe, getting taller and higher, Li Zhige stared at Liang Kaidong's back, and his forehead was gradually covered with fine sweat.
Wiping a handful of sweat and cheering up again, Li Zhige gritted his teeth, if Liang Kaidong was exposed, even if he was surrounded by ten thousand troops, he would rush up to save Liang Kaidong. Just because he called him a big brother.
Liang Kaidong looked indifferent, and secretly winked at Li Zhige, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.
At this moment, the soldier who was standing only one step away from the soldier and was said to be dumb by his teammates pulled out the dagger on his waist and stepped out, a flash of knife light, a trace of blood spilled out, forming a blood line, and then the blood gushed out one by one, and he fell to the ground and died without looking at it.
He didn't know how he died until he died.
The people around him, including Li Qianling, the brothers and Li Zhige, did not react.
"Protect the General~!" With a loud shout, the soldiers quickly gathered in a circle to protect Li Qianling inside.
"Hmph~"
The soldier deliberately turned his head and pretended to kill Li Qianling, but in fact he rushed towards Wang Ziyan.
"Protect the prince~"
It's a pity that Li Qianling was a little slower after all.
The mute soldier arrived at Wang Ziyan's side, a fierce flash flashed in his eyes, and a dagger slashed at his neck, the dagger brought out some blood and threw it on Liang Kaidong's face, his tongue licked on his face, his face was full of nostalgia, it was really a familiar taste.
He hadn't smelled blood for a long time, and the smell had intoxicated him, and every time he ate the lamb and beef, he would not roast it completely, but would always choose pieces of flesh covered with blood and roast them until they were medium-rare.
Wang Ziyan's eyes widened, his eyes were full of doubts before he died, and the last thought flashed in his heart. Why did he kill himself.
It's a pity that he will never understand, he held his neck and staggered with difficulty, but he still stood up and looked at everyone proudly, even if he died, he would live with dignity, he was not a concubine, he was the eldest son of the royal family!
He wanted to laugh, but a strange sound of "hoho~" came out of his throat. He died, and as soon as his neck was crooked, his body fell and he said goodbye to the world. He was a poor man.
"Kill~!" Li Qianling shouted, although he didn't lose anything when the prince died, at most he lost some face, but who cares about face in the army, he is angry that his IQ has been severely humiliated, who is against him.
In the blink of an eye, the mute soldier was stabbed several times by the onlookers, and blood foamed at his mouth.
Li Qianling strode over and roared, "Why, why did you kill him?" ”
"Why, do you see the wound on my foot, you know why? Why are the children of your family unattainable, and we, the low-class poor people, live so hard, let you bully, why! "Dumb," the soldier said frantically. It turned out that he was not dumb.
"I don't believe it, to be honest!" Li Qianling pulled out the saber at his waist and plunged it into his thigh. He didn't believe it because he was dissatisfied with this, so he wanted to kill two people in a row.
"Hehe~ Guess." The "dumb" soldier gritted his teeth in pain.
"You can't kill me." He shook his head firmly.
"Poof~" A strange voice sounded, blood flowed from his mouth, and he bit his tongue and committed suicide.
"Finally relieved." He was so happy that he was dead, smiled sweetly and serenely, and slowly closed his eyes. There was a muffled thud, and he fell to the ground.
Li Qianling didn't expect him to be so decisive, and a wave of admiration surged in his heart. At the same time, he was even more puzzled in his heart, what was the benefit of him killing Wang Ziyan.
"General, do you want to check?"
"Yes!"
Liang Kaidong still smiled confidently.
"Forget it~" Li Qianling waved his hand, his mind was too messy, and he wanted to go back to rest and rest. Wang Ziyan is dead when he dies, and the key is to deal with the theft of military secrets by the Huns.
Glancing at Tulu who was in a daze next to him, Li Qianling said, "Increase the intensity of guards, increase the number of people outside the prison camp, and if there is a mistake, it will be severely punished!" "These fifty people are all the elite of the veterans, all of them have experienced a hundred battles, and they are proficient in what skills, and one can be worth the elite three recruits.
A veteran can beat three recruits, what is this concept, that is, recruits have no chance of winning in front of veterans at all, and the baptism of life and death is completely different from being carefully cared for.
Back in the camp tent, Li Zhige patted his chest and drank saliva to suppress the shock. He had never felt so excited, it was like an omelette in the crater.
"You did it, right?"
"Not bad."
"People have desires, just like I just want to protect my mother, some for wealth, some for the people they love, some for wisdom, some for power............"
"As long as you grasp a person's desires, you have firmly controlled a person."
"How many more do you have available?" Li Zhige leaned into his ear and asked softly.
"Inexhaustible." Liang Kaidong said with a smile.
Li Zhige also laughed, "Don't make a joke on me, seriously." ”
"Dark Guard, I'll call him Dark Guard."
"Old-fashioned."
"Does the general know what is dark?"
Li Zhige shook his head, he wouldn't say that it was stupid.
"Where there is light, there is darkness, where there is good, there is evil, where there are good people, there will be evil people, only these people are accepted in the secret guard, and so far there are only nine people in my hands."
"Why?" In order to let him show off to his heart's content, Li Zhige also pretended not to understand, his brother has lost a lot of weight recently, so he won't scold him.
"Nine is extremely numerous, so the nine people in my hands have their own magical powers."
"Awesome ............"
The others listened in the clouds, and saw that they were muttering and did not know what they were discussing. But they only knew that the prince was dead.
Wang Ziyan is dead, Wang Ziyan is really dead, and this news swept through the entire military camp like a tornado. As soon as Wang Ziyan died, I don't know what else will happen to the Li family and the Wang family, and then it will be interesting for the two families to play against each other, of course, it also depends on Wang Ziyan's status in the hearts of the Wang family.
