Che Wu is very meticulous in his work, the two city gates next to him belong to the relatively large kind of city gates, they have more than 500 guards there, and the way they take is slightly different from Cao Xing, but the way of changing the guard in two shifts, which is also a more common way in this era, unlike Cao Xing, who is so humane, and also made a three-shift poured out.

Every time the sergeants standing by the city gate to guard were about 200 people, Che Wu not only collected all the names of these people, but also went to check one by one, which people were standing guard there today, and now they are clearly marked in this account book.

For example, the city gate defended by Wei Li, the number of people on duty today should be 241 people, but the number of people on duty was less than 200, and it is unknown where the remaining 40 people went.

Seeing this, Cao Xing shook his head helplessly, such an army has no military discipline at all, what combat effectiveness can it have if it suddenly encounters a war.

But this is not about Cao Xuan and the others, they just need to do their own work, Cao Xuan just wanted to finish the account book and let Che Wu go back to rest quickly, but inadvertently, his eyes were on this account book, and he saw a certain name.

Cao Xing's eyes narrowed suddenly, he pointed to the name with his finger, looked at Che Wu and said: "This person is clearly written as an ordinary soldier in the Yin Shifang District, and it is clearly marked on it, he has his share in the duty tonight, I don't know if you can see him coming!" ”

Che Wu looked at the account book, then touched his head a little embarrassedly and said to Cao Xing, he really didn't know this person, and he didn't know if there was such a person among the people standing guard today.

Thinking about it, it is impossible for Che Wu to keep everyone's name in mind, so he doesn't know whether this person is on duty today is understandable, but Cao Xing looked at this name, but involuntarily appeared in his mind the appearance of a person, if the truth is really the same as Cao Xing thought, Cao Xing felt that this might be an opportunity in front of him.

But now nothing has been decided, and Cao Xing is just a fantasy, so Cao Xuan didn't care so much, and waved his hand to let Che Wu go down.

Cao Xuan walked to the top of the city tower, searched around, and told the more than 30 soldiers under his command to cheer up, patrol well, and not have any slack, and those soldiers after almost a month of Cao Xing's training, they also became energetic, hearing this, they nodded firmly, and then clenched the bow and arrow in their hands, their eyes always vigilant to the surrounding movements.

And Cao Xing came to a temporary residence under the city wall, which can be regarded as the settlement place of their first-class lieutenants, anyway, there is nothing to do, Cao Xing sat on the ground, and began to use the method of breathing taught by the old man to absorb the aura of heaven and earth, and then used the aura of heaven and earth to continuously temper his muscles and bones, and hone his physique.

Cao Xuan practiced for almost half an hour, and the effect of this set of breathing methods was gradually revealed, Cao Xuan only felt that the meridians in his body were constantly expanding, and there was an indescribable sense of comfort all over his body.

However, just when Cao Xuan was just about to continue practicing, his ears moved, and his brows furrowed involuntarily, and he seemed to hear something abnormal.

Cao Xing's martial arts, he must belong to the kind of people who do not enter the stream, but it is precisely because of the unsatisfactory martial arts that he is particularly outstanding in other aspects, such as archery, the bow and arrow skills not only require strong arm strength, but also require super high eyesight, and now Cao Xing belongs to the kind of clear ears and eyes, not only the eyesight is much better than the average person, but even the hearing is also abnormally sensitive.

Cao Xuan felt that he seemed to catch a little unusual sound, he picked up the bow and arrow next to him, and quietly walked out of the camp, he looked around, now his soldiers are concentrating on their own work, but they didn't find anything abnormal.

After Cao Xing told his soldiers to hold the bow and arrow in his hand at any time, Cao Xing looked in another direction, and although there was no other movement in that direction, Cao Xing observed a bush that seemed to have some sparse noise.

Now it is the second watch, there is no wind in the sky, how can the grass be shaken at will, Cao Xing calmed his mind and walked forward slowly.

When Cao Xuan walked for half an hour, Cao Xuan squatted down and slowly rubbed the ground with his hands, and the whole person was suddenly startled, he clearly touched the uneven place, which was completely a footprint.

The rules inside the palace are strict, and in this uninhabited place, who would go here in the middle of the night and sneaky.

Thinking of this, Cao Xuan didn't hesitate, strode forward with a bow and arrow, ready to chase quickly in the direction of the person, just walking, Cao Xuan looked at the building in front of him, and involuntarily stopped, he looked at it and found that it was the Middle Palace.

What is the middle palace, to put it bluntly, it is the residence of the queen, except for the emperor, no one else is allowed to enter and exit at will without important matters, otherwise it is a felony to kill the head.

This is the guy who eats the ambition leopard and doesn't want to live, and dares to harass the emperor's three palaces and six courts, although the emperor has just died, but this is a feudal period, regardless of whether the emperor is still in power, dare to do this kind of thing, it is a big rebellion, unless it has reached the point of troubled times, otherwise once it is verified, it will still be killed.

Cao Xuan was still there in doubt, and suddenly only heard the fire in the middle palace, and the fire directly burned the entire palace at once, this scene not only frightened Cao Xing, but even the people in the palace began to howl loudly, obviously everyone was unexpected.

However, Cao Xuan quickly forced himself to calm down, this fire is nothing more than a natural and man-made disaster, what he should keep calm at this moment is the most, he wants to see who this arsonist is.

The fire began to get bigger and bigger, and the shouts for help inside were already noisy, but Cao Xuan always stayed outside unmoved, and after a while, Cao Xuan saw that a eunuch suddenly rushed out of the palace, but that eunuch was a little different from other eunuchs, and in the face of this fire, this eunuch seemed very calm and calm.

He passed by the person next to him lightly, both his body and foot strength were extremely prominent, Cao Xing could conclude at a glance that this was definitely a person who practiced martial arts, and he was still a master.

When this person successfully exited the queen's residence, he couldn't help but glance back, and a look of unwillingness seemed to flash on his face, but in the end he shook his head helplessly, since the mission failed, then it was time to go back.

The Assassin lowered his head and continued to move forward, but at that moment, he suddenly heard a loud sound of breaking through the air from his right ear, and he was startled, and a 360-degree rotation came from the air, successfully dodging the arrow.

However, the assassin had just landed, and before he could catch his breath, three more arrows came to his face, and the three arrows were all on the same vertical line, which made the assassin unable to defend himself, he cooperated left and right, and held the two arrows, but there was still an arrow directly in his right shoulder, deeply embedded in his flesh, and at this moment, the assassin's right arm was bleeding like a stop.

And Cao Xing was also at the right time, he got out of the grass and shouted: "The assassin is here, come and capture this person!" ”

Cao Xing's roar was shouted very loudly, so that some of the guards in the queen's palace could hear it clearly, and some people couldn't help but poke their heads out and look outside, and the assassin felt a little embarrassed at the moment, he never expected that he finally came out, and he was being guarded by Cao Xing here, and he only felt extremely embarrassed at this moment.

Seeing that there were many guards coming out of the palace again, the assassin gritted his teeth and couldn't care so much, only to see him raise his feet and quickly run out of the palace.

And Cao Xing naturally couldn't let go of this assassin, he also took a step forward and quickly chased after this assassin.

The assassin seemed to want to escape from the palace as soon as possible, so the route he chose was the nearest one, but looking at the assassin's escape route, Cao Xing, who was following behind, showed a smile on the corner of his mouth, and when the assassin ran to the Xuanmen, he suddenly found that there were already more than thirty soldiers waiting for him on the Xuanmen.

The assassins were taken aback, originally thinking that Xuanmen was the smallest of the many palace gates, and they were even about to be abandoned, and the defense should not be very strong, but they did not expect that these guards of Xuanmen looked the most energetic and the most powerful.

Let the assassin be surprised in his heart, but Cao Xing would not tell him so much, only to see Cao Xuan raise a hand, and then suddenly waved down, ordering the soldiers in his high place to release arrows directly, more than thirty arrows, directly towards the assassin.

However, this assassin is obviously quite capable, he really can't dodge, so he pulled out the saber at his waist, and began to keep dialing and withering, knocking all the arrows in front of him away, and Cao Xing, who was standing behind, was stunned.

The young assassin in front of him, like a wild goose and a sword like a thunderbolt, saw that he kept waving the long sword in his hand, but did not let a single arrow shoot at him.

And at this moment, Cao Xuan could also feel the martial arts aura emanating from this assassin, and Cao Xuan was shocked when he probed. Because he couldn't detect the extent of this assassin's martial arts, he could clearly feel that the aura emanating from this assassin's body was far stronger than Chen Hudu. Even Ma Chao is not necessarily his opponent.
