Chapter 203: Temptation
Come to think of it, the shopkeeper also knows that his question is not suitable for asking. After all, he still understands the truth that curiosity kills cats.
Yu Panxi had been paying attention to his expression as early as when he came out of the store.
Although the shopkeeper has been in the mall for many years, he has long been accustomed to hiding his true emotions, but he is as smart as Yu Panxi, how can he not see it?
What's more, she made such a big battle this time, and she originally brought her own purpose in it. If the shopkeeper is not curious at all, then it is strange.
Looking at him faintly, Yu Panxi seemed to think of something, and said to the former: "These things are all going to be sent into the barracks, the general is just passing by here, and the shopkeeper doesn't need to deliberately hide it." But if someone asks, please don't talk too much. ”
She seemed to tell her unintentionally, but instead of putting the shopkeeper at ease, her face turned pale in an instant. Hurriedly raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead, and then he nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, the truth that if you say too much, you still understand it, please rest assured." ”
Since he went out and saw those soldiers, the shopkeeper saw that Yu Panxi seemed to have no intention of deliberately hiding his identity, so he changed his words along the way. It's just that this is the name of himself, so that he can be more humble.
Yu Panxi didn't notice this, but after hearing his words, he nodded with satisfaction and didn't speak anymore.
The negotiation team that Xiao Chumo led before was already huge, and then added a huge number of reinforcements brought by Wei Lun. So many people, even when they were about to close the gates of the city, encamped outside the city, would never be able to hide the eyes of so many people.
Although they did not enter the city in the end, such a dark and oppressive group of soldiers suddenly remained outside the city, fearing that all kinds of rumors would soon spread in the city.
People are terrible, but Yu Panxi knows very well how terrible it is to spread rumors like this. Rather than making the people panic and being instigated by those who have a heart, it is better to say the purpose of his coming from the beginning.
Although the people were somewhat restrained by the arrival of these soldiers, it was much better than listening to rumors and being wary. Coupled with the fact that Yu Panxi deliberately said that these things were used as dry food for the soldiers, it must not be long before the whole city can basically know the news.
The situation on the border of Ningguo should not be underestimated, and presumably the news of the war with Nanjin Kingdom will soon reach here. The military situation is urgent, Yu Panxi can't follow Xiao Chumo to the battlefield, and all he can do now is to help him pacify the people as much as possible.
"General, only a few of the soldiers have been slightly injured, and the assassin has been killed!"
The road to the border was far from as peaceful as expected. After Vice General Xu finished inspecting the corpses in the surrounding places, he quickly walked up to Xiao Chumo and saluted with his fists and reported the current situation.
However, after the latter heard his words, he couldn't help frowning: "Didn't you leave a living mouth?" ”
Vice General Xu naturally knew what he meant, his own general status was special, and there were many people who wanted his life. It is not uncommon for one or two people to be left behind for interrogation after an assassination.
However, this time it was not he who deliberately wanted to kill them all.
Originally, the subordinates had already left two people, and in order to prevent them from committing suicide, they even deliberately tied their arms. It's just that I didn't expect that these people actually hid a poison sac in their mouths early in the morning, and they would die immediately after biting it. ”
With these words, it is obvious that he is unwilling.
These assassins are extremely ruthless, and every blow is a move to take people's lives, and at first glance, it seems that someone deliberately wants to kill Xiao Chumo. But since they knew Xiao Chumo's identity and the purpose of this trip, they should also know that there were so many soldiers there, and it was absolutely impossible for them to complete the task, so why should they continue?
At this moment, there was no one alive among the dozens of Assassins, otherwise he would have asked for some useful information even if all the punishments for interrogating the prisoners in the generals were put on these assassins.
"Alright, you don't have to blame yourself. They knew that I was followed by a large number of troops, but they still dared to rush out, so they naturally came with the intention of death. ”
Xiao Chumo's heart was also very puzzled. While comforting Vice General Xu, he personally crouched down next to the corpse of an assassin, examined it carefully, and soon made a discovery.
"These people seem to be trained dead soldiers, and once they fail in their mission and are caught, they will do everything they can to kill themselves."
"Dead?"
Vice General Xu was shocked, walked to Xiao Chumo's side and squatted down together, and looked towards the place where his sight was, only to see that the assassin had a two-headed snake tattooed on his neck, which was exactly the same as the tattoos on the two who committed suicide!
The latter glanced at him faintly, and when he saw him like this, he unsheathed his sword, and the tip of the sword pried the assassin's closed mouth open.
Both of them had seen a lot of such assassins, and they could immediately see that the corpse had a tooth in its mouth that was obviously distinctive, apparently a poison sac hidden in the mouth, which was specially used to kill itself.
At this moment, the credibility of the judgment that Xiao Chumo had just made directly improved a lot. Vice General Xu still couldn't believe it in his heart, but when he saw this scene, he immediately turned around to see another corpse. After looking at five or six in a row, I found that these people actually had poison sacs hidden in their mouths without exception!
Vice General Xu was surprised, looking at the corpse in this place, he was actually a little speechless, so he turned around and looked at Xiao Chumo: "General, this ......"
The word "dead" is almost universally known and talked about. They have always used their lives to carry out tasks, and they are loyal to only one master in their lives, and there is no possibility of rebellion.
As Xiao Chumo just said, every time they perform a mission, their goal is either to die by the target or by themselves. It can be described as a creepy existence.
It's just that because the dead are extremely difficult to cultivate, not only must they be strong in martial arts, but more importantly, they are absolutely loyal, so those who can train the dead are usually people with strong strength and noble status. And they basically regard these most loyal fighters as their last hole cards, and they can't use them easily.
At this time, Vice General Xu was shocked precisely because of this.
He had already seen from the fight just now that this group of assassins was clearly coming for Xiao Chumo alone. Otherwise, with their skills, even if they can't leave, it is impossible for the officers and men in the army to suffer only a little minor injury.
But since the person behind the scenes used such a rare dead man, and he was holding a pair of mantis arms as a car, I was afraid that the meaning was not that he wanted to take Xiao Chumo's life as he had guessed before, but more like ...... I wanted to test him before the latter reached the border.
