Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Praying Mantis Catches the Cicada

With a loud sound of horses' hooves, Qin Cheng rode his horse and took Wang Xiaoer out of the barracks and ran in the direction of his house.

Qin Cheng's sister in this life is called Qin Yue, and she is the only relative of Qin Cheng who has depended on him since he was a child, and he is three years older than Qin Cheng. When Qin Cheng was ten years old, his parents died one after another, and it was Qin Cheng's sister who brought him up, and the hardships can be imagined, and it is actually a miracle that the two did not starve to death. At this time, Wang Xiaoer, who was riding the same horse with Qincheng, because he was close to Qincheng's family, did not help Qincheng in the village when he was small, and in the memory of Qincheng in this life, he had great respect and gratitude for Wang Xiaoer. At this time, Wang Xiaoer hurriedly ran to Qin Cheng to inform Qin Cheng of the news that his sister Qin Yue was critically ill, and Qin Cheng had no reason to delay.

These days, the weather is getting colder, the north wind is gradually getting stronger, Qin Cheng is running wildly all the way, his clothes are dancing in the wind, his cloak is flying, and there are gradually beads of sweat on his forehead.

After crossing the avenue, the two turned into a small road, the road surface is more rugged, the forests on both sides of the hillside are quite dense, although it is late autumn at this time, under the shrubs and weeds, the things in the forest can not be seen clearly, but Qin Cheng in the gallop does not seem to notice this, just care about burying his head in the horse.

Along the way, Qin Cheng didn't talk to Wang Xiaoer, let alone ask Qin Yue's condition how it was, Wang Xiaoer sat behind Qin Cheng, his expression was complicated, and he was a little painful, and he didn't know if he couldn't adapt to the bumps of this military horse.

"Qin Lang." Wang Xiaoer called Qin Cheng behind his back.

"Brother Wang has something to say?" Qin Cheng didn't look back, his tone revealed the anxiety of talking, as if he was very worried about Qin Yue.

"Uh...... It's okay. Wang Xiaoer's tone was a little hesitant, "I want to ask, how are you doing in the barracks......"

"Let Brother Wang worry, Qin Cheng is very good in the military camp." Qincheng Road.

"That's good, too, you are now a general, and the notices in the county town have been sent to the township, and everyone is happy for you, but I don't know what kind of official the hussar captain is, but everyone knows the title of the young lord...... You are really angry, after your sister heard the news, she was also very happy, and said several times that she wanted to come to the county town to see you...... It's a pity, but when you go back this time, she must be able to see you. When Wang Xiaoer said these words, his tone was sincere, but when he said the end, his voice was a little quieter, as if it was a little unnatural.

A faint smile flashed on Qin Cheng's face, and he didn't correct the ambiguity in Wang Xiaoer's words, and said: "It's all cultivated by General Li, and Qin Cheng is just lucky, but I don't know if next time, if the luck is so good, Brother Wang, you also know that Qin Cheng has no ability since he was a child." ”

After Qin Cheng finished saying this, after a while, Wang Xiaoer behind him said: "Qin Lang don't want to say this, since you are a general now, naturally it is not comparable to the past, presumably you are in the military camp, you have really grown up, even if you encounter something in the future, you can deal with the past." ”

After speaking, Wang Xiaoer was silent.

Qin Cheng smiled and said no more.

At this time, Qin Cheng happened to come to a place with a rather wide terrain, and the shrubs and weeds in the hillside forests on both sides were also relatively lush.

Suddenly, in front of the military horse, a thick rope appeared out of thin air, because the thick rope appeared suddenly, it was impossible for Qin Cheng to strangle the military horse, the front legs of the military horse were tripped by the thick rope, and the horse's body fell forward all of a sudden.

The moment the military horse fell, Qin Cheng seemed to have been prepared, took advantage of the momentum to jump up, rolled on the ground, kicked the ground, and his body left the trail and rushed into the forest next to him!

The moment Qin Cheng's body left the ground, several iron arrows flew out of the forest and stuck on the ground where Qin Cheng had just landed!

Qin Cheng's body entered the bushes on the side of the road, and in just an instant, two screams sounded in the bushes, and several streams of blood spurted out of the bushes!

As soon as the screams sounded here, nearly ten men rushed out of the woods on both sides of the path, and they didn't shout, but quickly rushed towards the forest that Qin Cheng had just rushed into!

Qin Cheng shouted, jumped out of the bushes, and landed right in front of a man, without waiting for the man to react, Qin Cheng took the bloody long knife in his hand and slashed at him from top to bottom, the man intuitively felt that the phantom in front of him flickered, Qin Cheng's long knife appeared above his head, and he immediately raised his knife to block! It's just that Qin Cheng's knife is quite powerful, and it is borrowed from the momentum of jumping out and landing, the long knife resists, Qin Cheng's knife is gone, and the long knife in front of him is violently shaken open, and the long knife slashes obliquely into his neck!

Qin Cheng took advantage of the situation to slam the long knife away, and a stream of blood spurted out, and the man fell to the feet of Qin Cheng with a bang, and there was no more sound.

Cut down this man, there were two men next to him wielding a knife left and right to Qin Cheng, Qin Cheng's eyes were full of light, his body moved to the side, when he dodged the long knife of one of the men, he also approached the body of another man, and waved the knife to open the opponent's long knife, Qin Cheng's body was short, his left hand pulled out a dagger from his military boots, and inserted the dagger into the man's chest with his back to him, and at the same time blocked the long knife that killed in front of him, his body flashed, moved behind the man, and suddenly pulled out the dagger, and blood spurted out at once, sprinkled the face of the man who was about to attack Qin Cheng, Qin Cheng took advantage of the moment when the man's vision was blurred, the long knife quickly slashed through, and the other party's neck was cut off with one sword!

As soon as he saw the other three people, Qin Cheng's murderous intent suddenly rose, and when he was about to start killing, he suddenly heard a loud explosion:

"Stop, or I'll let the arrows go!"

When everyone heard this, they were about to stop, Qin Cheng sneered in his heart, and took advantage of the time when the other party paused, and quickly approached the body of the man closest to him. The man didn't expect Qin Cheng to have no intention of stopping, and it was too late to react, Qin Cheng's long knife was on his neck.

A kick in the man's leg knocked him down and half-knelt on the ground, and Qin Cheng went to look at the person who spoke.

At this time, on both sides of the trail and outside the forest next to the trail, there were seven or eight men with knives standing scattered, and another well-known archer stood in the forest, aiming at Qin Cheng in the middle of the crowd with bows and arrows. Qin Cheng was in the middle of the crowd, but his expression was not the slightest panicked, the long knife was on the neck of the man who was half-kneeling in front of him and did not dare to move, and he confronted everyone with cold eyes.

All the men were dressed in green linen, with long knives and cold swords, staring at Qin Cheng, Qin Cheng in the middle of the crowd, dressed in red robes and black armor, with bright red cloaks fluttering in the wind, and his bearing was calm.

Wang Xiaoer, who had just rolled off the horse with Qin Cheng, was trembling beside a fierce-looking man at this time, looking at Qin Cheng with guilt and uneasiness in his eyes.

The fierce man beside Wang Xiaoer, with a long knife in his hand, was not unsheathed, at this time he covered his face and looked at Qin Cheng coldly, and the loud shout just now was made by him.

"General Qin is really a good skill, and it is not in vain that we have tried our best to lead General Qin here, but since you have arrived here today, this place is your burial place, and it is just a waste of effort for you to resist!" The masked man said coldly.

The so-called news that Qin Cheng's sister is critically ill is naturally fake, but this Wang Xiaoer is true, no matter how stupid Qin Cheng is, at this time, he also knows that Wang Xiaoer was coerced by these people, so he had to fake the news to himself, the purpose is to lure himself out of the barracks, and then these people will kill themselves in one fell swoop, after all, it is almost impossible to kill Qin Cheng in the barracks, if you want to kill Qin Cheng, you must lure Qin Cheng out of the barracks, these people have deep intentions.

"Didn't you say you wouldn't kill Qin Lang? Why do you want him to die now, you lied to me?! When Wang Xiaoer heard this man's words, he was shocked, pointed at this man with one hand, and shouted in a lost voice.

"Shut up! If you dare to say more, I'll kill you together!" The man kicked Wang Xiaoer over with one kick and said murderously.

Wang Xiaoer ate the other party's kick, and immediately bowed to the ground and snorted, unable to speak anymore.

"General Zhao, in order to take the life of this general, you have taken great pains!" Only then did Qin Cheng look at the masked man coldly and sneered.

When the masked man heard Qin Cheng's words, he was taken aback, his eyes widened, and then his eyes became gloomy, but he still didn't give up and said, "What General Zhao, did you recognize the wrong person?" ”

"Zhao Yu, are you and I all idiots?" Qin Cheng sneered. "Do you really think I don't know that Zhang Shiyou and the others are above you?"

The masked man was stunned for a while, snorted coldly, pulled off his scarf, and said: "Qin Cheng, even if you have knowledge, you finally know the identity of the general, but it's too late, you can't protect yourself now, even if you find me at this time, what's the use?" Could it be that you still want to catch me back and cut off my head? Hahahaha! ”

This masked man is none other than Zhao Yu, the cavalry captain of the Qiansang City Military Camp.

Zhao Lu laughed wildly, Qin Cheng waited for him to finish laughing, and then said disdainfully: "Zhao Yu, do you really think that you are the smartest in the world, and everyone else is a fool?" Let me tell you, when I returned to the barracks yesterday, I already knew that you were Zhang Shiyou's boss, not Kong Zhengfang! ”

Zhao Yu was startled at first, and then said angrily: "Qin Cheng, you want to trick me, yesterday you obviously took Kong Zhengfang and kept him secretly in custody, if you didn't think that Kong Zhengfang was Zhang Shiyou and others in the army, how could you arrest him?" Hmph, now you're just trying to save some face for yourself, how can you fool me? ”

"Why should I lie to you?" Qin Cheng took a moment to say, "Zhao Yu, you claim to be smart, but you didn't know that you made a heinous mistake, and it was this big mistake that made me doubt you." Zhang Shiyou and others, you killed them, am I right, Prince Jinxie? ”

"What?!" When Zhao Yu heard the words "Golden Evil Prince", he was shocked and said in disbelief: "How do you know that I am the Golden Evil Prince?" It can't be, it can't be! ”

"The Xiongnu poplar tribe, because of disobedience to the orders of Yi Zhixie, was wiped out by Yi Zhixian eight years ago, and you, the son of the king of the poplar tribe, also fled to Shanggu at that time and attached to the Han Dynasty, and you yourself were appointed as a cavalry marquis. Am I right, Golden Evil? Qin Cheng said leisurely.

These are what Zhang Du said to Qin Cheng yesterday.

Zhao Yu listened to Qin Cheng's words, and surprisingly didn't refute, but said coldly: "I didn't expect you to even know this, but so what, do you decide that I am Zhang Shiyou's boss based on this alone?" ”

"I said, your fault lies in the fact that you killed Zhang Shiyou and others." Qin Cheng said, "You think very thoughtfully, you are afraid that Zhang Shiyou and the others will reveal your identity and plan after being arrested, so you can't wait to kill them." But it's a pity that Zhang Shiyou and others are the dead soldiers of your Huns, so when they, the Hun prince, wanted to kill them, they didn't resist at all, and it was this that exposed your identity, if not, how could they not resist? Kong Zhengfang is just a Han man, if he wants to kill Zhang Shiyou and them in order to eliminate his own danger, Zhang Shiyou has no reason why they can't break the net! After that, I went to the county again, and after learning the identity of your Xiongnu prince, I was basically sure that you were the top of Zhang Shiyou and others. ”

Qin Cheng said that, Zhao Yu couldn't help but be stunned for a while, and then laughed, "Qin Cheng, you are powerful, this is my negligence." But I can't figure it out, I've been in the barracks for eight years, and I've been promoted to lieutenant after killing the enemy, how can you not hesitate to suspect me as soon as you learn my identity as a Huns? Is it because I'm a Huns? ”

Qin Cheng smiled coldly, "Isn't it okay?" Just because you are a Huns, I don't hesitate to doubt you, isn't that okay? It turns out that I was right. I'm afraid you haven't heard of the saying in the Central Plains: If you are not of my race, your heart will be different! It's not entirely true, but it's at least true! ”

will do everything possible to hinder the development of cavalry in Shanggu County, except for the Huns, naturally there will be no second person. In this era, there are no traitors and traitors! Therefore, Qin Cheng basically didn't have to worry that his inference was wrong.

"Hahahaha......" Zhao Yu burst out laughing, his voice was a little desolate, laughed, and said loudly: "Okay!" Sure enough, the princess's words are really not wrong, you Han people will not really treat me as your own people at all, only the Huns are our siblings, you Han people, will never be! Today, I will kill you first, and then kill all the Han people in the world! ”

"You're wrong, Jin Evil!" Qin Cheng said coldly, "It's not that we didn't treat you as our own people, but you didn't treat you as your own people of the Han people, if it weren't for that, how could you do such a thing?!" ”

Zhao Yu's eyes suddenly turned red when Qin Cheng said this, and he roared: "Even so, so what? ”

"Qin Cheng, even if you are as smart as you, didn't you fall into my hands today as usual? I'll kill you today!" ”

After Zhao Yu finished speaking, he pulled out the long knife fiercely, and he was about to slash at Qin Cheng!

"Kill me?" Qin Cheng sneered, "Kill me, and then pretend that I was killed by Qin Qingzhi, and take this opportunity to create rumors, saying that my Shanggu County's development of cavalry is not popular, bewitching the public, and forcing my plan for the development of Shanggu County's cavalry to be aborted, right?" ”

“?!” Zhao Yu suddenly stopped, stared at Qin Cheng in disbelief, and said tremblingly, "You...... How did you know that Qin Qingzhi was tied up by me? ”

Qin Cheng snorted coldly, "Since I have long known that Kong Zhengfang is not the boss of Zhang Shiyou and the others, then Qin Qingzhi, who I sent out to guard Kong Zhengfang in secret, is not the chess piece that I sent to you for nothing, so that you can implement this plan, instead of letting you take great pains to catch Qin Qingzhi, why don't I give it to you, wouldn't it save you a lot of energy?" ”

"You ......" Zhao Yu was speechless for a while, and his eyes were full of disbelief and panic when he looked at Qin Cheng.

"Zhao Yu, whether you will take me or me will take you this time, do you know it now?" Qin Cheng shouted, "Come on, kill all these rebels for me!" ”

"No!"

With a loud promise, the sound of bows and arrows in the forests on both sides was everywhere, and dozens of iron arrows flew towards Zhao Yu and others in the field, accompanied by the whistling sound of iron arrows, the rumbling sound of horses' hooves began to come from the direction where Qin Cheng had run before, and dozens of Han cavalry shouted to kill Zhao Yu and others!

Nearly twenty men brought by Zhao Yu, when they realized that it was not good, there was no way to turn things around, dozens of iron arrows were shot, and these more than twenty men immediately screamed and fell a little half, Zhao Yu looked at Qin Cheng again, and when he wanted to capture the thief and capture the king first, Qin Cheng had disappeared!

"Withdraw, withdraw!" Zhao Yu shouted in vain, while running towards the forest, at the moment those men in green linen cloth who had not been shot, or men who were not fatally injured, or ran into the forest, or stumbled into the forest, and more were shot in the back of the forest before they entered the forest, and fell to the ground, trying to climb but could no longer climb into the forest that was close in front of them, these men, most of them were killed and injured at the moment.

As soon as Zhao Yu rushed into the forest, he was surrounded by the sergeants who roared down from the forest, and Zhao Yu, who had already been hit by an arrow, barely killed and injured a few sergeants, so he kicked over and rolled out of the forest, and before he could get up and stand firmly, he was slashed in the back by the whistling cavalry!

"Don't kill him!" Qin Cheng jumped out of the bushes, and when he saw that Zhao Yu was about to be beheaded by Ji Zhu, he hurriedly shouted.

These sergeants in the forest are actually cavalry, if they are infantry, I am afraid they will not be able to arrive in time, the reason why Qin Cheng wasted so many words with Zhao Yu is to wait for Ji Zhu to lead the cavalry to arrive, after seeing the signal, Qin Cheng ordered these sergeants to come out.

"Qin Lang...... General Qin, spare your life, the villain is also forced to be helpless! I beg General Qin to spare the villain's life for the sake of the past! The villain is sorry General Qin...... "Wang Xiaoer was kicked by Zhao Yu and lay on the ground, but he was not shot by a bow and arrow, and he was killed by several people at this time
