Chapter 159: Captured Alive

The tents in the camp were set up in a regular and orderly manner, with the tooth tent in the middle; Horse-drawn carts and sleighs laden with food and supplies were parked side by side on the left side of the camp, and on the right were stables with mules, donkeys, and bantams, and beside the stables were tents for grooms and coachmen; The soldiers' tents were behind the tents and at the four corners of the camp.

White Shadow squatted on the right corner of the camp gate by a tent to observe, the camp was hung with lanterns all over, the light was a little bright, which caused some obstacles to the White Shadow's movement, easy to be spotted by patrols and sentry posts, but the bright light allowed him to easily observe the layout of the entire camp.

He saw at a glance the stables and the tents that surrounded them, and there must have been sleeping grooms and coachmen in the tents around the stables, and he was about to touch the two rows of tents, when he found the wagons and sleds laden with food and supplies on the opposite side of the stables.

White Shadow hesitated, and from here to the place where the food supplies were to be passed through a large open area in front of the tent, it was very easy to expose himself to the eyes of the patrols and sentry posts.

After a little thought, the white shadow gave up going to the place where the food and grass supplies were first, and continued the previous purpose of his action, he lay down in the snow and quickly crawled in the direction of the stable, the white clothes on his body blended with the snow on the ground, even if the camp was very bright, it was still difficult to be detected by patrols and sentry posts.

There was a lot of snoring from the tents around the stables, there were eight tents in total, and the white shadow sneaked up to the edge of the third tent in the first row, he looked left and right, and immediately lifted the curtain and dodged in.

The tent was pitch black, and the white shadow took out a fire fold from his bosom and lit a candle, and the tent suddenly became bright, and there were two rows lying side by side on the ground, each of whom was snoring like thunder with a thick woolen blanket wrapped in his body.

One of the familiar faces in the first row of feet came into the White Shadow's line of sight, and the White Shadow took the blow into his arms, and the camp fell into darkness again, but the White Shadow walked to the target and crouched down with his memory, and a sharp blade quietly fell into his hand from his sleeve.

The person lying in the blanket on the ground seemed to have sensed something, and suddenly opened his eyes, and Bai Ying covered his mouth in time with one big hand, and the other hand held a sharp blade and instantly stabbed the target's neck.

A stream of warm blood spurted out, and a thick bloody aura spread through the tent, and the target struggled violently for a while, his limbs slowly becoming weak until he was completely immobile.

The white shadow slowly exited the tent and disappeared from the back of the tent.

A patrol came from a distance, and Mulan led the group with the hilt of her sword in hand.

Since the livestock poisoning incident happened a few days ago, the patrols and sentry posts during the camp every day have been intensified, and Hua Mulan and Xue An have personally taken turns to lead patrols, one patrolling in the first half of the night and one patrolling in the second half of the night, while Lu Xuanbo has a more important task to guard the safety of grain and grass materials.

Mulan walked and observed left and right, she suddenly stopped and sniffled, and slowly turned her head to look at a camp tent next to her.

"It smells of blood, palm lamp!"

The soldiers of the patrol were all nervous, and one by one they picked up their weapons and looked at the camp tent next to them.

The soldiers at the front immediately walked to the curtain of the tent with lanterns, and the other soldiers were on alert to attack, three soldiers circled around the sides and rear of the tent, and the others followed behind Mulan.

Mulan slowly pulled out her sword and opened the curtain, and the soldiers carrying the lanterns rushed into the camp tent with long knives.

The sudden intrusion of Mulan and the soldiers woke up the sleeping grooms and coachmen one by one, and only one of them was still lying.

"Don't move!"

The movements of the grooms and coachmen stopped instantly.

Under everyone's gaze, Mulan walked up to a dead groom with a sword, lifted the blanket and saw that the groom's eyes were wide, and there was a blood hole in his neck, and blood was coming out.

"The murderer should have just left, if it is an outsider, our patrols and sentry posts are so tight, it is impossible for the murderer to avoid the patrols and sentry posts in such a short time" Mulan said and got up, pointing to a soldier and ordered: "You quickly go to give the order, let the patrols and sentries increase their vigilance and attention, observe carefully, and arrest suspicious people as soon as they are found, and don't make too much noise to alarm the murderer!" ”

"Yes!"

In a camp tent near a carriage full of food and supplies, Lu Xuanbo, who was sitting cross-legged, seemed to be asleep with his eyes closed, as if he was awake but not awake.

Suddenly, a slight sound of footsteps reached his ears, the sound of his feet stepping on the frozen ice and snow, and he suddenly opened his eyes, grabbed the sword on his lap and slowly got up.

By the side of a carriage, a white shadow looked left and right, took out the fire fold from his bosom, lifted the cap and blew it, and a small flame came out, and he put the fire fold under the sack full of grain.

A cold light suddenly struck, and the white shadow was shocked, he didn't have time to set the sack on fire, and hurriedly drew his sword to resist after dropping the fire fold.

"Dangdangdang······" The sound of weapons clashing kept ringing around.

The white shadow did not dare to fight, and retreated to the outskirts of the camp while resisting, and the sound of fighting frightened the soldiers in the surrounding tents, and the soldiers rushed out with their weapons.

The appearance of the soldiers not only did not help, but also caused trouble for Lu Xuanbo, two soldiers stabbed the white shadow man with their spears, the white shadow man dodged, one turned around and hid behind the soldiers, and one soldier was pushed towards Lu Xuanbo.

Lu Xuanbo had to forcibly withdraw the sword that had been stabbed out, and the white shadow immediately rushed towards the outskirts of the camp.

Seeing that the white shadow was about to flee outside the camp, Zhao Junsheng suddenly flashed out of a tent, raised his right hand, and three flying needles instantly sank into the white shadow's legs.

The White Shadow stumbled to the ground as he ran, and the blade in his hand sank into the snow on the ground, and several soldiers quickly rushed to catch him with their spears.

Zhao Junsheng pressed the hilt of the knife and walked over to look at the White Shadow Assassin, and shouted: "Tie it up!" ”

The soldiers set up the white shadow, and a thick hemp rope tied him tightly and was carried to the tent.

Hua Mulan got the news and rushed over, she walked beside Zhao Junsheng and asked, "Brother Junsheng, how did you hide behind that tent?" Do you expect someone to burn grain and grass? ”

Zhao Junsheng shook his head and said: "I don't know, I just have a feeling that the mastermind behind the scenes learned that we came back with grain and grass materials safely, and it is very likely to send someone to kill the mouth, I don't know who is the inner ghost in the camp for the time being, and there is no way to prevent it, but I know that people's hearts are greedy, killing people and destroying mouths, wouldn't it be more perfect to burn grain and grass again?" ”

Hua Mulan turned her head to look at Zhao Junsheng: "Brother Junsheng's feeling is very accurate, a groom was killed just now!" ”

"Oh?" Zhao Junsheng stopped and said with a smile: "It seems that this assassin is too greedy, if he kills his mouth and leaves directly, instead of coming to burn the grain and grass, we really can't catch him." Let's go, let's meet this assassin! ”
