Chapter XVIII

A ray of morning light broke and the pheasants on the mountain cooed, reminding the small animals in the mountains to get up.

The bonfire in the cave was extinguished, and there was still a little burnt ashes, and there were still leftover bones and a disemboweled wolf on the ground. This tells Liang Kaidong that it was really Li Zhige who saved him yesterday.

Liang Kaidong's face was ruddy, his eyes opened, he was full of strength again, and he felt that he could now knock down a cow.

When I touched my back, I felt a small pit with a scar the size of my index finger on it, and it was no longer bleeding. He thought to himself that Li Zhige's hemostatic medicine was really magical, and it only took a day to stop the bleeding and leave a scar.

Looking at Li Zhige, who was still leaning against the stone wall with his chest exposed, he felt guilty and grateful in his heart, he deceived Li Zhige, and he owed Li Zhige a life.

Li Zhige was too tired, after yesterday's battle with the old wolf, he was tired, but fortunately they only encountered an old wolf, if they met a wolf in the prime of life or a wolf pack, then Li Zhige and the others would definitely die in the wolf's belly.

Li Zhige, who went up the mountain to collect medicine and hunt game, consumed some strength and climbed a few mountains, and really didn't think that he could kill a prime-aged wolf.

Liang Kaidong wanted to carefully take off Li Zhige's coat on him and cover Li Zhige, but at this time, Li Zhige opened his eyes and rubbed it, and saw that Liang Kaidong was going to cover him with a coat, and his heart warmed.

Seeing the sun shining outside the cave, "Oh no, what time is it?"

"It's been a while since the rooster crowed."

"Let's go, yesterday you and I escaped, that soldier is afraid that he knows the scars on your body, today he will definitely report to Li Qianling to search the barracks, if you and I are not in the camp tent, we will definitely be mistaken for absconding in fear of crime, and quickly leave to return to the camp."

Li Zhige got dressed as he walked, holding Liang Kaidong's hand, he almost fell in the middle and didn't care, he just wanted to return to the camp as soon as possible.

The birds in the forest chirped hurriedly, as if to urge Li Zhige to go faster, faster............

"Hurry up, ......, hurry, rub something!" The soldiers who searched were all scolding the soldiers, and the scope of the search was very wide, and the camp tents of the recruits and veterans had to be searched, and the mudslide had just passed, which really added a lot of difficulties to them.

In order to complete the search faster, they directly regarded those who did not come out for inspection as absconding in fear of crime and had ghosts in their hearts.

This inspection is really novel enough, let the soldiers take off their shirts to see if there are any gunshot wounds on their backs, but they are all people who have fought in battle, and there is no scar anywhere, the soldiers are strange, and the searcher did not say much.

"What's going on, how many tents haven't been searched?"

"Report to the two generals, as well as the camp tent of the leading squad Li Zhige and the camp tent of the criminal prince Yan!" The searcher said respectfully to Li Qianling and Li Qianzheng.

"Okay, Wang Ziyan's teammates must be searched strictly, maybe Wang Ziyan is used to beating and scolding his teammates arrogantly, and it is possible for his teammates to kill him in retaliation." Li Qianling Road.

"General, the assassin left this behind." The soldier who stabbed a hole in Liang Kaidong's back took out three mud-stained darts in his hand and handed them to Li Qianling.

"This is a special wolf head dart made by the Huns, specially equipped for killer assassins, and the Central Plains people will not have it at all."

"Don't say it, there really is a wolf head." Li Qianzheng took the dart and pointed to the lifelike wolf head pattern on it.

"Could it be that this matter is also related to the Huns, is it really Wang Ziyan colluded with the Huns to steal military secrets, and after Wang Ziyan was arrested, the Huns were worried that the matter would be exposed, so they sent assassins to kill people and destroy their mouths?" Li Qianling muttered quietly, rubbing his chin.

"It seems that the guards in the army are still too lax. The order was given, and from tonight onwards, each officer sent 50 men to patrol for an hour, to keep a close watch, and to take turns after one team was finished, and then another team, with no rest time in between. ”

"Yes!" When the soldiers heard this, they immediately informed the officers at all levels that this military order was not harsh, and the soldiers could accept it.

"Big brother, you just have too many concerns, as long as you arrest all the people involved in this matter, and follow the vine, you will always find the assassin." Li Qianzheng said a little impatiently.

"Reasonable, go and bring Wang Ziyan and the imprisoned Huns over for questioning."

Not long after the soldier received the order, the two of them were tied up and brought over.

"Bring Li Zhige's team."

After a while, Li Zhige's team arrived except for Li Zhige and Liang Kaidong.

"Hmm~" Li Qianling saw that Li Zhige did not come, and was a little puzzled. As for Liang Kaidong, he didn't know this person at all, Liang Kaidong hadn't done anything big, and he had been unknown. He also doesn't specifically remember a nobody.

"Why didn't Li Zhige arrive?"

"Tell the general, the captain said that he and Liang Kaidong went to the mountains to find some herbs, and more than 100 brothers will inevitably have some bumps and bruises, and they also need some herbs to cure their diseases if they bleed." Among the five, Zhao Wulian stood up and said to Li Qianling with a smile.

"Are you ......" Li Qianzheng was overjoyed when he saw Zhao Wulian in front of him, and just wanted to rush up and hug him, but Li Qianling covered his mouth and pulled him back.

"There is no big or small in the army, there is no trace of the majesty of a general, what kind of system!" Li Qianling scolded Li Qianzheng, but he couldn't suppress the joy in his eyes, Zhao Wulian actually came.

More than ten years ago, the two brothers and Zhao Wulian were playing mud together, the Li family was not like the Wang family, and they got along extremely well, and the Li family knew that they were suspected by the current saints, so they rarely contacted other families.

However, Zhao Wulian, the second son of the head of the Zhao family, often plays with the juniors of the Li family. They all knew each other, and everyone in the Li family welcomed Zhao Wupian very well, the poor child.

The Zhao family was passed down from generation to generation, and the position of the head of the family naturally fell to Zhao Wupian's father, who married Lin Wan'er, the head of the Lin family in the capital, in his early years.

It turned out that Zhao Wulian could sit firmly as the next head of the family, but he didn't expect Lin Wan'er to die of illness after giving birth to Zhao Wulian, and Zhao Wulian's father married Lin Wan'er's sister Lin Ling'er in order to maintain the relationship with the Lin family.

At the beginning, Lin Ling'er was very good to his little nephew, but since giving birth to a son, her attitude towards Zhao Wulian has become cold, and she has beaten and scolded him, Zhao Wulian endured the pain of losing his mother and suffered a lot of insults, and finally couldn't bear to break his half-brother's leg at the age of fifteen and ran away from home, and has not been heard from since............

I didn't expect to meet Zhao Wupian here, it was really an unexpected joy, I didn't see Zhao Wupian lose a lot of weight over the years, and I don't know how much suffering he suffered.

Li Qianling looked at Zhao Wulian with a gentle gaze and asked, "How long is it?" ”

"Come on, just another hour."

"Okay, I'll just wait an hour."

An hour later, there was no one in Li Zhige's tent, Li Qianling frowned and stared at Zhao Wupian, and said, "You didn't lie to me? ”

"Could it be that Li Zhige wants to assassinate Wang Ziyan?"

Zhao Wulian smiled silently.

"Go search~" Li Qianling waved his hand.

"General, I searched every corner, but no."

"Okay, I'll just wait here for him and see what tricks he plays?"

Time passed slowly, Li Qianling's patience was about to run out, but Li Zhige had not yet come.

"Da ~ " The sound of two footsteps was very abrupt in this particularly strange and silent environment.

Li ...... Li Zhige! Everyone couldn't help but admire Li Zhige's confident face under the sun.

"Look at ......! What is on his back! ”

"A wolf, a wolf!"

The surrounding soldiers exchanged heads, and Li Zhige actually killed a wolf.

Li Zhige threw the wolf corpse to the ground, splashing a large cloud of dust. Immediately bowed down and said, "See the general!" Liang Kaidong behind him also knelt down on one knee and saluted.

"Li Zhige, I heard Zhao Wulian say that you went to pick the herbs to stop bleeding, why did you only bring back a wolf corpse, what about the medicine?" Although the words were light, Li Zhige killed a wolf, and his force was almost comparable to Li Gan's.

Li Zhige was calm and calm, and said unhurriedly, "General, it rained heavily yesterday, and Liang Kaidong and I were going to go up the mountain to pick herbs, but who knew that the mudslide on the mountain slipped down, and Kaidong and I were washed down the mountain. ”

"After dark, we lost our way, walking dizzily in the mountains, Liang Kaidong was seriously injured, so I found a cave to rest, who knew that a vicious wolf wanted to eat Kaidong, and we tried our best to kill it."

"Hehe~ Okay, I know you are taking care of Liang Kaidong's face, but since you have picked herbs, what about the medicine?"

"Oh oh~ there's another one, here you go."

Li Zhige casually threw the two-sided needle, and after Li Qianling caught it, he glanced at Li Zhige suspiciously, "This grass has a strange appearance, can it really stop bleeding?" ”

"Just try it."

Seeing that he was so sure, Li Qianling had no doubts, handed the herb to his soldiers and asked him to take it down.

"Now let's get down to business." Li Qianling said solemnly.

"Yesterday you two went up to the mountain to pick herbs, and according to those soldiers, the assassin they were chasing that day also entered the mountain and was wounded, is this a coincidence?"

"It must be a coincidence, Liang Kaidong and I were washed down the mountain by a mudslide, and we only came out this morning, where did we see any assassins?"

"Oh, then why are you both dressed in black?"

"The armor is soaked in the rain, and it is more convenient to wear civilian clothes to collect medicine, and besides, this is the black clothes issued by the army, how can we be blamed?"

Li Qianling had a headache, why did the army wear black underwear.

"Bring Wang Ziyan and the Hun assassins!"

"I'm not undercover, I'm not undercover~" The prince wailed, kneeling and begging Li Qianling to let him go.

"Be honest~" Li Qianzheng directly suppressed him and didn't tell him to move.

"Li Zhige, this Hun assassin was captured by you, the strange thing is that all his weapons are gone, but this dart in my hand was thrown by the assassin, it is a special wolf-headed dart made by the Huns, have you taken his dart?"

Li Zhige said with a smile, "He was caught by me, but it doesn't mean that I took his weapon, just like the military salary issued by the army, is it that the military salary is less, and the military salary passes through the hands of the accountant, so it can also be said that the accountant took it?" But that's probably not the case, right? ”

"Strong words!"

"Li Zhige, I'm asking you seriously!"

"I'm answering your question seriously, too!"

For a moment, tension was raging, and the smell of gunpowder filled the air.

"Alas~" Li Qianzheng threw Wang Ziyan away, and hurriedly stood between the two to separate the two, "It is estimated that it is almost lunch time, we will talk while eating, and we will talk while eating." ”

"Whoever eats with you, Lao Tzu eats with his brothers himself, go!"

Li Zhige dragged the six brothers back to the camp, feeling a little panicked, he knew that the matter was about to be hidden, and he had to quickly find a substitute for the dead ghost.
