Facing the man who fell to the ground, Leon asked the soldiers to let him go, "Give you your comrades, and let you live." Li Ang's voice was low, which made the man kneeling on the ground move in his heart, and he hesitated for a long time before he raised his head and looked at Li Ang and said, "If I say it, you will really let me live." ”

"My words have always been the same." Leon gave the man an affirmative answer, and the man lowered his head and thought for a moment before he spoke, "It's okay to tell you, but I'll only tell you." Then he fell silent and said no more.

"I gave you a chance." Looking at the silent man, Li Ang sighed and looked at Li Cunzhi, "Take it down and torture it, if you can't ask, you will be killed." ”

Seeing that Li Ang didn't think about it at all, the kneeling man suddenly laughed, with a bleak face, "Ruthless enough, worthy of being a murderous demon king, I am not wronged in your hands." After speaking, the man didn't wait for the soldiers on the side to come, he got up and walked out of the tent, he was too big this time, so that he lost and lost, he really can't blame others, if you want to blame him, he still underestimated Li Ang.

"This person is also tough." Seeing that the man was escorted out, the king, who had been in the tent, praised fiercely, and then said to Li Ang, "My lord, now that such a thing has happened, I am afraid that it will be strictly investigated, especially those horse thieves who have been co-opted, and it is more reassuring that the Persians in it are still killed." Wang Meng knew that there were many Persian spies among the horse thieves who had been recruited, and he thought that it was better to kill them than to bother to investigate, and in this respect Wang Meng was more ruthless than Li Ang's decision.

"I will consider this matter, and those Persian people will rely on you to bother." Li Ang nodded to show that he understood what Wang Meng meant. Although he also wanted to kill all the Persians who had surrendered to the horse thieves. However, he was worried that he would recruit Cambyses in the future, so he had to be cautious.

Under the strict orders of Li Angdi, the secret investigation began. Li Cunzhi did not leak any information, but secretly investigated all the suspicious people, and at the same time he was more concerned about the Han people who stayed near them, these people seemed to him to be very suspicious, and this was how the assassin who pretended to be an informant came from. However, he did not rush to investigate these people publicly, but sent black hands to keep an eye on these people, and immediately took action whenever there was anything abnormal.

After the assassination, Leon once again summoned the envoy of Cambyses who had come to his camp some time ago, and the Moo, who seemed to be very brave, although this Moo was a well-behaved man, was still discovered by the king's silent words, knowing that he was just trying to avoid trouble. Therefore, Leon didn't pay much attention to this person, but for now he felt that this Persian general, who only wanted to live, could take advantage of it.

After hearing that Leon had been assassinated by the Persian Assassins, Mo O, who had been summoned, immediately changed his face, and sweat suddenly appeared on his head. He thought that Leon was suspicious of him and was about to cut him. Suddenly, a clever man hurriedly defended loudly, but Leon just looked at him with cold eyes, as if he was already a dead man, plus a few soldiers who looked fierce and vicious on the side, Mo Ou was even more frightened in his heart, and in the end, he swore by almost all the gods of Persia.

"You should know that in addition to establishing the country with force, our Great Qin also admires the Legalists, and the Legalists are very interested in punishment, they can let criminals know what life is worse than death, it is a coincidence that there are people in our army who are proficient in this way, I think he will be happy to discuss the role of punishment with you." Leon threatened Moo with words, almost making him despair, "Listen, General Moo, I give you a chance, as long as you confess the secret agent you sent to me, I promise that you will not be held accountable for this matter." ”

"It must be him, it must be him, it's none of my business." Leon's words made Moo misunderstand, he thought that the assassination was done by the lieutenant who came with him, and that the lieutenant was assigned by Cambyses, and Moo took it for granted that Cambyses took him as a substitute for the dead.

Looking at Moo, who was hysterical there, the corners of Leon's mouth smiled, he was very satisfied with this unexpected gain, "General Moou, if you can draw a list from your adjutant, you will get my friendship, and I think that even if Persia perishes, you will live well and live a long life." Leon duly threw out the benefits to Moo.

Mo Ou is a layman, all he wants is to live, Leon's words make him excited, as long as he does what Leon tells him to do, then he can not only live, but also live well. In this way, Moo fell to Leon, and he used all his skills to try to extract useful information from his lieutenant, but unfortunately, his lieutenant was shrewd, and smelled danger in his unusual caring attitude, and thus strengthened his guard, no

Anything, but he still followed Li Ang's way, Li Ang Geno had too much hope, from Mo Ou to his adjutant, Li Cunzhi sent people to keep an eye on him, and in the middle of the night the next day, he caught the adjutant who contacted the secret agent.

Through torture and extortion of confessions, Li Cunzhi learned their purpose from their mouths, and the adjutant sent by Cambyses had been in contact with the secret agents, but they did not plan the assassination, they only planned to find an opportunity to incite the surrendered 10,000 Persian soldiers to mutiny and create chaos. In addition to these, Li Cunzhi also got some useful news, that is, these Upper Persian spies vaguely knew some Lower Persian spies, but here they had the same goal, so they maintained a tacit understanding of not offending each other.

In front of the inhuman assassins, Li Cunzhi took the confessions of those Persian spies and said, "I really feel worthless for you, your accomplices have still been found out by me, and they will come to accompany you soon, and you won't feel lonely at that time." Li Cunzhi hated this assassin who didn't speak, he sneered, "Don't worry, I won't let you die, I will let you live well and enjoy the taste of this great punishment every day." ”

"Please, give me a good time!" The silent Assassin looked up, slurred in his speech, and there was a pleading look in his eyes. Li Cunzhi looked at him and suddenly sighed, "I originally thought you were really a tough guy, but now it seems that it is nothing more than that, when your father-in-law gave you a chance, you didn't want it." ”

"If you really want a good one, you can exchange it for the corresponding things, do you know what I mean?" Li Cunzhi pulled out his horizontal knife and rested it on the assassin's throat, the chill on the steel made the assassin's eyes light up suddenly, and his neck hit the blade, but Li Cunzhi took it back in time, "I said, if you want to die happily, you have to pay something out." ”

"Now tell me, how many accomplices do you have, and who are the masterminds?" Li Cunzhi picked up the confessions of those Persian spies and shook them in front of the assassin's eyes, "This is your last chance, even if you don't say it, I can find them out, but I want to save trouble, before I count to three, if you still refuse to say it, I guarantee that you will live a hundred years and survive until you die of old age." ”

"One, two!" Li Cunzhi didn't count fast, but he wasn't slow either, and finally before he counted to three, the hoarse voice of the tied assassin sounded, "You won't lie to me?" ”

"It's not too much to kill, do I need to lie to you?" Li Cunzhi looked at the assassin, smiled, and then looked at the torture instruments around him and said, "Say it quickly, lest I change my mind." ”

—

In the end, the assassin gave in, he said a few names, and these people were in the list of people that Li Cunzhi sent to keep an eye on, and when he saw that the assassin wanted to tell where those people were hiding, Li Cunzhi stopped him, "Where they are, I know better than you, don't make any effort." ”

"Finally, I want to ask you a question, my father-in-law said that he found you because you don't look like a fanatic at all, and I want you to tell me honestly how you got into Zoroastrianism." Although the main purpose had been achieved, Li Cunzhi was still curious about the assassin's motives.

After hesitating for a moment, the assassin looked at Li Cunzhi and told his story, he was an orphan, he was adopted by an organization at a very young age, and was trained as an assassin, he had killed many people over the years, until recently he was sent by the organization to join the secret church of Zoroastrianism in Chang'an, and let him do everything according to the orders of Zoroastrians.

"Can you tell me what happened behind the scenes of that organization?" Li Cunzhi looked at the assassin in front of him and remembered his own background, he was also an orphan, if it weren't for Li Ang, he might be like the man in front of him, let his pathetic fate take control until he died.

"I really want to tell you, but about the inside story of the organization, a pawn like me has no way of knowing, I am just a killing tool cultivated by the organization." The assassin laughed to himself, then he looked at Li Cunzhi and said, "The only thing I know is that the organization once sent people to assassinate Marshal Li, but they didn't succeed and finally gave up. ”

"Thank you!" Listening to the assassin's last words to himself, Li Cunzhi said to him, then clenched the knife in his hand and asked softly, "Are you ready to hit the road?" ”

The assassin didn't answer, just nodded quietly, and then a bright arc flashed in front of his eyes, and subconsciously he closed his eyes, a line of blood oozed out of his throat, and then a scarlet blood mist filled the air, and his vitality was cut off. Returning the knife into the sheath, Li Cunzhi called the soldiers outside the tent, "Bury him well!" Then he left without looking back at the dead man.
