Dressed neatly and out of the big tent, Chen Da found that his two younger brothers also got up together. So, he and his two younger brothers, riding horses with all their entourage and personal guards, hurried to a stone's throw away from the south gate of Xiapi City and stopped.

And just when Chen Da and his party were able to see the South City Gate, a team of carriages and horses slowly came out of the East Corner Gate of the South City.

The person riding the horse at the head, Chen Da has also seen it, and it is the main owner of the labor army - the newly appointed Liu Ji of the Xiapi State.

Unlike Chen Da and his two younger brothers, each with dozens of guards around them, when he left the city, Liu Ji was only followed by no more than ten people, all of them extremely thin and unsightly, and five coachmen who followed them to catch the cart.

"The person who came is Chen Zhonglong, in the name of Mrs. Mi, who is specially here to work for the army." As soon as the two sides looked at each other, Liu Ji greeted each other first, and then asked directly: "Dare to ask Zhonglong, what are your intentions for this trip?" Have you ever reported to the lord? ”

Last night, Chen Da had already sent someone to explain to the defending generals in the city the reason why he led the army to Xiapi. However, Liu Ji is different, he should ask clearly, or he should ask clearly, so as to conform to his character.

In the process of questioning, Liu Ji was quite calm, and his voice did not tremble, but his little hands holding the reins of the horse were so nervous that they were strangled red by the reins, but this kind of performance was normal in the eyes of the Chen brothers, after all, they all knew that Liu Ji was just fifteen years old this year.

"Liu Guocheng, Yu is Chen Da Chen Zhonglong, who is currently the lieutenant of Guangling County. Hearing that Cao's army was strong, his father Chen Zhan and Chen Taishou ordered their officials to lead troops to assist Wang Beijia in resisting Cao's army. After a few days of rest in the city, our troops will immediately go to the front. Chen Da said the rhetoric that he had thought of a long time ago and said.

"I see, Ji is here in place of Mrs., thank you Chen Zhi and Chen Taishou, at such a critical moment, they can share the worries of the Lord. Brother Zhonglong, please wait, after the army of Kirao, he ordered the gate to be opened and let the brothers into the city. Hearing this, Liu Ji nodded, arched his hand towards the Chen Da brothers on the horse, and praised loudly.

After speaking, Liu Ji waved his hand and ordered loudly: "Come on, send all the cattle wine that Mrs. rewarded to the brothers of the Guangling Army." Immediately afterwards, Liu Ji personally rode his horse, holding a jar of wine in his hand and slowly rode towards Chen Da, and the seven shorter retinues behind him were all dressed in cloth, except for the saber at his waist, there was nothing special.

The guard assigned to Liu Ji by Mrs. Mi was also a man in his thirties who was a little short, and unlike Jin Hou and the five little assassins he chose, this guy was quite strong, but after putting on him relatively wide clothes, he couldn't see it. Being short and sometimes having a good time is also an indescribable advantage.

Seeing that Liu Ji and the group of seven people behind him were in such a configuration, at this moment, including Chen Da, the hearts of the Chen brothers and the hundreds of guards behind them actually had a sense of slackness to a greater or lesser extent.

Within five steps, five steps to bleed.

This is a common sense left by future generations during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, when countries attacked each other.

Therefore, Jin Jue once taught Jin Hou that when performing assassination tasks, the distance between the two sides should stay within the range of ten to twenty steps as much as possible.

Once it exceeds ten steps, even if it is a dozen women, the assassin will inevitably be alert. And once it is twenty steps away, with the crossbow making technology of the Great Han now, the accuracy of the small crossbow will inevitably be greatly reduced, and beyond twenty steps, unless you want to make such a god-level assassin, or a marksman like Tai Shi Ci, otherwise, no one can be 100% sure that the assassination target will be hit with one hit.

So, twenty paces away from Chen Da, Liu Ji took the initiative to jump off his mount and threw the reins of his horse to Jin Hou, while he himself held the wine jar, lowered his head slightly, and slowly continued to walk towards Chen Da while counting his steps.

19.18、...... XV, XIV,

A baker's dozen

"Ahem!" When Liu Ji was about to take the twelfth step, Jin Hou behind him suddenly coughed lightly, which was the code agreed by the two in advance.

Because Jin Hou had already discovered that the eyes of the nearest guard who was leaning on Chen Da's side suddenly became clearer, and this person had already focused his eyes on Liu Ji's guard.

The guards personally assigned to Liu Ji by Mrs. Mi will naturally not be ordinary people, far away, coupled with the characteristics of his height, they will be ignored for the time being, but once the two sides are close, the other party will see some differences from his walking posture, the position of his two hands and other small details.

This point, Jin Jue also once mentioned to the guards around him, he used Bao as an example at that time, the more powerful a person, whether walking, standing or standing still, the smaller the change in his movements, or even completely immobile.

As a traverser, Jin Jue is actually more afraid of death than anyone else, so when training guards, he is extremely attentive. And Bao Chu, who was beside him, was a model of an assassin of this era.

At that time, after listening to Jin Jue's theory, even Bao Zhu admitted frankly that Gongzi was undoubtedly correct in all these points, and there were many places that he had never noticed. Even a swordsman and assassin with such a skillful approach can actually draw a lot of knowledge from Jin Jue's theories.

It's too late, it's too fast, and the moment he heard Jin Hou cough lightly, Liu Ji was excited, and immediately threw the wine jar in his hand directly to the ground in front of him.

The pottery wine jar was immediately smashed to pieces, and the pottery pieces of the wine jar merged with the wine filled inside, splashing everywhere, startling everyone on Chen Da's side.

Immediately afterwards, the guards beside Liu Ji also immediately pulled out a sharp sword from his waist, took three steps and made two steps, first pacing small steps to accelerate, and then, suddenly a tiger pounced on Chen Da, whose brain was down.

And by Chen Da's side, the first person to react was naturally the leader of his personal guard. This person is nine feet long, with a big waist and a round waist, and what is even more commendable is that this person's movements are not slow at all, almost at the moment when Liu Ji's guard pulled out the saber on his waist, he also pulled out the saber on his waist, and with a wave of the sword, he went straight up.

But who knows, all the actions of Liu Ji's guards are just false tricks......
