Chapter 406: Guilty plea
It was already evening, on an official road on the outskirts of the capital, Nan Hui led a team of soldiers and horses to gallop in a hurry, in order to catch the race that fled from the capital and was ready to return to Liang, Lu Li was inconvenient to leave because he had to deal with the affairs of the capital, so he sent his most trusted Nan Hui to pursue.
At this point, the team is getting closer and closer.......
Qi Sai sat in the carriage, listened to the voice of the pursuer behind him, and cursed fiercely: "Why don't you do it yet!" β
"General!" The spies came and reported, "There is a mountain road ahead, if you pass through the mountain road, you can stop the race!" β
"Are you sure?"
The spy said respectfully: "The subordinate's home is near the capital, and the subordinate can be sure!" β
Since there was a shortcut to take, Nan Hui did not take a long way, but divided the team into two teams, one team followed him to take a shortcut, and the other team followed closely behind his team through the official road, so as to cause enough pressure on the other party. If things can be like what the young soldier in front of him said, they can intercept before their game, maybe they can form a two-sided force against the team in the game!
Thinking of this, Nan Hui sped up a little faster.
Things were exactly as the little soldier said, not long after they walked through the mountain road, they saw a stone bridge, through the stone bridge and walked a little way, sure enough, intercepted in front of the south cypress, and the rear pursuers were exactly two sides of the attack.
When Qi Sai saw them suddenly jumping out, he had a shocked expression on his face.
"How did they get around the front, could they not fly .......?"
The situation is so urgent that even cronies who have followed the competition for many years and are accustomed to seeing all kinds of life, death, parting and dangerous situations can't help but show panicked expressions.
"Your Highness, there are pursuers in front and pursuers behind, what should we do now?"
With the surging rivers on one side and the mountains on the other, it was impossible for them to leave the enemy's encirclement.
Qi Sai's eyes were red, and when he scolded angrily that Lao Tzu didn't know what to do, he suddenly saw a familiar face not far behind Nan Hui!
By the way, he still has one last piece.......
Qi Sai smiled yinyin: "Don't care about the chasing soldiers in front, just rush over!" β
"But there are so many of themβ"
"Shut up!" Qi Sai roared angrily and said, "This king doesn't need you to teach a lesson, just listen to my orders and rush over directly!" β
When Qi Sai faced them, he rushed directly over was something that Nan Hui thought of from the beginning, he raised his eyebrows and smiled slightly, and did not clash with Qi Sai head-on, but let people retreat to the side, just when Qi Sai wondered what the other party wanted to do, the horse under him suddenly neighed, and he looked down to know that the mountain road was covered with sharp nails, and the horses neighed and became chaotic because they stepped on the nails.
It seems that we can only get off the horse and fight.......
Qi Sai jumped out of the carriage, and with a wave of his hand, the long sword at his waist was unsheathed.
The two sides fought together......
The number of people brought by Nan Hui is twice the number of his subordinates, according to common sense, Nan Hui and his race against him, it should be that he occupies the upper hand, but those cronies under his race are one in a hundred, the real martial arts masters, plus they know that they are trapped beasts, if they do not fight hard, they are likely to be captured alive, so their offensive is more fierce than before, and the soldiers who arrived in Nan Hui, although they have experienced a hundred battles, but after all, not everyone has learned martial arts, so they are fighting, they fall into the disadvantage.
Nan Hui narrowed his eyes slightly, and was thinking about how to throw off Qi Sai to catch him directly, when Qi Sai suddenly yelled with red eyes: "You don't do it yet!" β
Nan Hui was shocked.
Sure enough, although many of the spies in the army have been removed, there are still spies hidden in them, Nan Hui doesn't know who the person in his mouth is, so he looks at everything around him vigilantly, trying to find a flaw in it, and when he doesn't notice it, there is a soldier behind him who deliberately pretends to fall down and pours it on his side......
There was a sharp pain in Nanjuni's back!
Even if he had licked the blood on the tip of the knife, he couldn't help frowning when he suffered this severe pain, and made a muffled snort, as soon as he turned around, he saw an acquaintance standing behind him, holding a long sword in his hand, it was obvious that the injury on Nan Hui's body was caused by his sneak attack just now!
Looking at the blood that was slowly flowing from the long sword, Nan Hui's eyes were also red: "Sure enough, it's you!" β
The person who attacked him just now was Bu Ying, who he had been suspicious of for a long time! It is estimated that taking advantage of the chaos in the military camp and the fact that the army is heading to the capital, Bu Xun changed into a soldier's clothes, deliberately approached Nan Hui, and then attacked him......
Bu Xun smiled, not ashamed at all: "It's me." β
A long time ago, Bu Xun was already a lead buried in Lu Li's military camp.
The soldiers who were originally fighting with the enemy discovered the movement here, and saw that Nanjuni, who they had been worshipping as a god, was attacked and injured by a sneak attack, and the army's heart was suddenly confused: "General! β
"I'm fine," Nan Hui gritted his teeth, endured the sharp pain in his back, and raised his sword again, "Today I will kill you spy with my own hands!" β
When they were in the barracks, they were not thin on Bu Xun, but they called such an ending, and Nan Hui was very unwilling!
The long sword in his hand also seemed to feel the anger of his master, and it slashed with Nanjuni's hand.
After all, Bu Yan is just a doctor, although he can do some martial arts, but it is only enough to save his life in ordinary times, and it is not enough to fight against Nan Hui at all, so that he can successfully sneak attack, it is entirely because of Nan Hui's carelessness, after a few rounds, he has been drenched in cold sweat, and gradually he can't parry, and he has to be hacked to death by Nan Hui with a sword several times. Even at such a time, Nan Hui did not forget the person he was truly loyal to: "Your Highness, go quickly!" β
At this time, Qisai had been seriously injured and passed out.
The cronies of the loyal and the race were not well monitored, and after taking one last respectful look in the direction of Bu Xun, they fled the battlefield with the race.
Seeing their figures getting farther and farther away, Bu Xun was relieved......
The long sword in Nan Hui's hand slashed at him with a fierce breath, he subconsciously took the knife to block it, but unfortunately his martial arts were not proficient, and he couldn't resist it at all, and a sharp voice sounded, and Bu Xun's neck and chest were cut by Nan Hui with a big cut, and the blood flowed nonstop......
As a doctor, he knew that he would never survive, so he silently closed his eyes.
And the situation of Nan Hui, who successfully killed the traitor, is not as good as he imagined, now he can't hurry, and the pain behind him is so bad that he doesn't even have the ability to think, if it weren't for a perseverance to support him, I'm afraid others would have passed out.
He gritted his teeth and gave a final command to his subordinates: "Catch up with him!" β
As soon as the words fell, Qi Sai, a general who had never shown weakness on the battlefield, was crooked, and he fell into darkness.
When Qi Sai woke up again, he had returned to the house in the capital from the suburbs, he was lying on the bed, and in front of the bed stood An Xiabai and Lu Li, as well as two soldiers who came to report.
Because her consciousness was so drowsy that Nan Hiki could barely hear from their words, Qi Sai fled.......
Nan Hui tightened his brows, secretly remembering this matter, this was his first failure.
After the soldiers who reported on the battle situation withdrew, An Xiabai noticed his awakening and hurriedly rushed to the bedside: "Brother, how do you feel now?" β
Nan Hui didn't answer, he stubbornly clung to the last glimmer of hope: "Where is Qisai now?" β
"He fled in the direction of the border, and I have sent someone to chase him, and I believe it will not be long before I can catch him." Lu Li knew that Nan Hui cared about this matter, so he said to him, "You don't have to worry about this matter, first take care of the injuries on your body, because the wounds are relatively long and deep, the doctor said that you have to recuperate recently, and you must not make too many movements......."
"I understand," Nan Hui lowered his eyes, showing a rare expression other than indifference, "This matter is my fault, if it wasn't for my carelessness, I wouldn't have been attacked, and Qi Sai wouldn't have had a chance to escape....."
"How can I blame you for such a thing?" An Xiabai patted him on the shoulder and said, "If you want to blame me, you should blame me, if I wasn't too careless, because of Bu Xun's exquisite medical skills, he stayed in the army, he wouldn't have a chance to sneak attack you, you better not take this matter to heart, let's recuperate with peace of mind first." β
Nan Hui agreed sullenly.
Nan Juni's injury means that the soldiers he was originally under his command will be transferred to Lu Li's hands, after all, although the situation in the capital is stable now, no one can guarantee that there are no enemies lurking in the shadows, Lu Li needs their help to clear the obstacles, and more importantly, he hopes that An Xiabai can be in an absolutely safe environment.
An Xiabai went to meet those pro-soldiers.
"Mrs. Lu," they were all very excited when they saw An Xiabai coming, "We heard that General Nan Hui was injured, how is it, is he okay now?" β
"Well, it's true that he's injured, but the injuries have been healed, and now he has no worries about his life, you can rest assured."
"It's okay." Those who rushed up to care were all relieved.
They were originally excellent soldiers trained under King Li, and then for some reason they were hidden everywhere, Chang Wen was the person they connected with King Li, after Chang Wen betrayed King Li, they also followed Chang Wen into the Lu Li army, because they did not obey discipline, they had been in charge of Nan Hui before, under the tempering of Nan Hui, they finally had a sense of belonging to this army, and now they heard that Nan Hui was injured, and they were all panicked.
"If you can live in Qisai, you must beat him hard to make General Nan Hui angry!"
Nan Hui was amused by their righteous indignation: "Yes, I think so too. β
The atmosphere was suddenly much more relaxed because of An Xiabai's smile.
"By the way, Mrs. Lu, where is General Nan Hui's injury, we have been active in the capital, I heard that the general was covered in blood when he was brought back, is the injury particularly serious?"
An Xiabai truthfully explained the injury to them, and also said that Nan Hui would need a sour time to recuperate in the future, what she didn't expect was that when she heard that Nan Hui was injured and couldn't get out of bed and walk around for a while, those soldiers couldn't help but smile.
"It's good that we can't move around, so we won't have to practice in the future......."
