Chapter 69: Assassination
The night is getting deeper and deeper, and the camp here is less sluggish and more vibrant than the camp on the snowy field. However, the soldiers did not slack off in the moment of safety, the four exits of the camp were covered with a lot of antlers, tripwires, and thistles, and the fence was as strong as ever, and the front and rear camps were divided into two tall wooden posts, each with a sentry fence, and two black shadows lurking in each sentry bar, carefully watching the surrounding movements.
There were several large vats buried in the ground by the fence in the front row, and soldiers were also crouching in the vats, who from time to time put their ears to the walls of the vats and listened carefully for a moment. This kind of thing is made by money, in Ji Zhouguo is the only one, there is no semicolon, the effect of listening to the ground is very obvious, during the exercise, Du Bing and the cavalry team just dived ten miles away, and the soldiers who listened responsibly could hear the faint sound of horses' hooves. Of course, this kind of thing also makes Qian Buli's image in the army even higher.
A team of patrol soldiers was walking in the camp, and when they walked near the handsome tent where Qian was not leaving, Zhou Yizheng, the leader of the patrol team, made a gesture, and they relaxed their steps together. Their movements were very natural, they were not trying to curry favor with Shangguan, and in the middle of the night, no Shangguan would pay attention to their actions. Their actions came purely from the bottom of their hearts, the Archon had slept too late, and they didn't want the Archon to be disturbed.
Although the civilization of this world is not very developed, it has a long history, and in that distant time, there have been many brilliant emperors, famous generals who fought on the battlefield, and wise and intelligent ministers, so many that they are like stars in the vast sea, and they are too numerous to mention. Compared with them, Qian Buli's biggest advantage is in being approachable, those people can at best be a good general who is considerate of his subordinates, but Qian Buli is simply a fight with the soldiers, he is not improper, does not hold an identity, and the lowest soldiers can also laugh and laugh and chat about family life, and Qian Buli's memory is very amazing, as long as he talks to a soldier once, he can remember the soldier's name, for an ordinary soldier, it is an honor to be called by the commander himself, It is worth remembering the glory of a lifetime!
Although some soldiers look much older than Qian Buli, when they are close to Qian Buli, they will always show a kind of smirk, which is a kind of giggle that a child will only show when he meets a big brother who likes him, and the smile is simple and natural.
The phrase "the soldier dies for his confidant" contains something that is not only for those big people can do, the little people have their own sight, and it doesn't take much to buy their hearts, sometimes, a sincere greeting, an appreciative smile, is enough to make their blood boil.
Zhou Yizheng's eyes were fixed on the handsome tent where Qian was inseparable, although the commander was sleeping peacefully at the moment, but it did not affect the fanaticism and worship in his eyes, Zhou Yizheng did not reluctantly turn his head back until he walked through the handsome tent, but at this moment, a roar suddenly pierced the night sky: "Bold dog thief!" Dare to assassinate the commander!! ”
Zhou Yizheng's body stiffened suddenly, he could understand that the roar was made by the commander he respected, Zhou Yizheng's hair was about to stand up, he pulled out his long sword, and shouted in a voice that had been deformed: "There are assassins... Protect the Commander!! And Zhou Yizheng's people also rushed to the handsome tent like a desperate person.
A general on duty at night heard the shouts and beat the war drums, and the whole barracks became brightly lit in the blink of an eye, and one after another soldiers rushed out of their tents with torches and long swords, and lit torches at the torches outside the tents, but they did not run around, but quickly assembled in units, and then gathered into a squad and ran towards the fence under the command of the squad leader.
The first to arrive at the tent was the shirtless Du Bing and Wang Rui, who was on duty tonight, Du Bing opened the curtain with a shot and rushed in, Wang Rui followed closely behind him, they saw that the tarpaulin separating the inside and outside of the tent had been cut off, and more than a dozen soldiers were surrounded by a group, the long sword with a cold light had already been unsheathed, and the tip of the sword was pointed at the periphery, like a big wheel, and Qian Buli was surrounded by those soldiers.
"Are you alright, sir?" Du Bing hurriedly shouted. In his mind, Her Royal Highness the princess Ji Shengqing is their banner, and Qian Buli is the commander is their soul, if something happens and the flag falls, they can find a way to change the flag, but the soul is gone, their fate is either wiped out or falling apart, Du Bing can't control the panic in his heart.
"I'm fine." Qian Buli's voice was as calm as ever.
"Your Excellency, you're not hurt, are you?" Wang Rui also hurriedly added.
"Don't worry, they won't hurt me." Qian Buli pushed away the soldiers who protected him with his body and walked out.
Du Bing was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized a key point: "My lord... Did you see the Assassins? ”
"Yes." Qian Buli nodded, picked up a chair that fell to the ground and sat on it, his expression looked tired, and then Du Bing and Wang Rui saw clearly that the clothes on Qian Buli's chest were torn in a few places, which showed that the battle was fierce at that time, but fortunately there was no bloodstain, which made Du Bing and Wang Rui breathe a sigh of relief.
"My lord, who is the murderer?" Du Bing and Wang Rui asked this sentence in unison, they didn't need to think too much, they all knew that the one who could assassinate the commander in the heavily guarded camp must be a soldier! Outsiders can't get in at all!
"It's Sun Zhongde with a few people... Alas! I didn't expect him to assassinate me! Qian Buli said angrily.
Du Bing was immediately dumbfounded, his eyes looked at Qian Ling, and even the spear in his hand almost fell to the ground; Wang Rui was not much better than him, his mouth was big and wide, almost revealing a full mouthful of teeth, and a trace of saliva was leaving along the corners of his mouth.
"Alas, I was as shocked as you were at the time! I can't figure out why they killed me. Qian Buli bit the word 'shock' very hard: "You give the order to go down, search the whole camp carefully, and be sure to arrest Sun Zhongde, a rebel and his accomplices, for me!" Remember, I'm going to live!! ”
