Chapter 199: You're the Fool
Li Qianhu, is there anything you want to ask? Gao Changgong finished asking, and the third captive went to Li Ang.
"I want to know who Mr. Qin Wu is? Also, is there anyone you know in the Yuelai Inn in Wanzhou? Leon looked at the three dejected captives and asked, and his question made the three captives look different.
After a long while, one of the captives replied, "We don't know who Mr. Qin Wu's true identity is, we just follow orders, and we don't know the people from Wanzhou Yuelai Inn." ”
Just as the captives finished speaking, the people sent out by Gao Changgong came back, he carefully searched each corpse, and found a few fireworks, and after handing the fireworks to Gao Changgong, he stood aside respectfully.
Looking at the fireworks in his hand, Gao Changgong frowned, those fireworks looked exactly the same, but he didn't feel that he needed to prepare so much.
After looking at it for a long time, Gao Changgong handed it to Li Ang, then looked at the three captives and said, "Among those fireworks, only one is for contact, right?" If you put it wrong, I don't know what will happen? ”
"The fireworks are kept by the leader, and only he knows the secrets here, and if you ask us, we can't tell." The three captives said almost at the same time, and what they said meant the same.
"Li Qianhu, have you found anything?" Gao Changgong looked at the three captives with a calm face, looked at Li Ang and asked.
"Bang!" Just when Gao Changgong was asking, Li Ang had already released a firework in the dark night sky. Brilliant fireworks burst into flames, lighting up the sky. Gao Changgong was stunned.
"It looks the same, but there's a slight difference in the amount of portion." Looking at Gao Changgong's inquiring gaze, Li Ang handed out the rest of the fireworks in his hand and said quietly, "These ones are the same weight, different from the one I put out." ”
Listen to Leon's words. Everyone looked at him, and they were all shocked, this man was so terrifying, can you tell the subtle differences? The soldiers of the King of the Army thought like this, and a little respect was born in their hearts.
Gao Changgong glanced at Li Ang and didn't say anything, but gave an order, "You two look at them, if they are not honest, kill them directly." Gao Changgong believes that Li Ang did not set the wrong fireworks. And those people are bound to come, so he has to make arrangements. "The others work in pairs, three hundred paces on the perimeter."
Soon, the burning bonfire was extinguished, and in the darkness, Li Ang sat quietly on the rock, while Gao Changgong stood aside. He looked into the distance with a blank face, not knowing what he was thinking.
Half an hour later, a vague black shadow appeared in the sight of the two, Li Ang was still indifferent, and Gao Changgong's hand was already on the hilt. When the dark shadow approached thirty paces, Leon, who had been sitting, moved, and he re-lit the bonfire.
In the light of the fire, Li Ang and Gao Changgong looked at the man in black who was approaching with a hat, and at this time, the man in black also saw them clearly, and the silver dragon emblem on Li Ang's collar made his pupils constrict. But he walked over unhurriedly, as if he did not notice anything unusual.
When approaching ten paces. Li Ang and Gao Changgong moved, but instead of attacking the black-clothed hatster, they dodged to the side, and at the same time, the sound of dense arrow feathers rang out, and where the two of them were just now, ten short steel crossbows on the ground were nailed to the soil, and only a small part was exposed, which showed the power of this crossbow.
Seeing Li Ang and Gao Changgong dodging, the hat man immediately took out a firework from his waist and was about to release it, but he obviously underestimated Gao Changgong's quick knife. Like a lightning bolt suddenly swept through the dark night, at the moment of dodging the crossbow arrows, Gao Changgong was already kicking forward, and the long knife slashed at the hat man.
Seeing that Gao Changgong's knife was coming quickly, the hat man could only throw away the fireworks in his hand, retreat quickly, and draw the knife with his backhand, sealing Gao Changgong's slash. With the sound of Jin Tie's shock, the hat-man's wrist quickly flipped over, and the blade stabbed upwards and stabbed obliquely into Gao Changgong's chest, and in one move, it had turned defense into attack.
Li Ang didn't go to help Gao Changgong, he believed that Gao Changgong's fast knife was not something that this person wearing a hat could catch the ground, and he and Gao Changgong were not familiar with each other, and rushing forward would only make the two unable to exert their respective strengths.
"I'll leave it to you here, I'll go over there and take a look." Li Ang said quietly, picking up the fireworks on the ground and putting it in his waist bag.
'Shhh In the roaring knife wind, the hat of the hat man split in half and fell in midair, Gao Changgong danced the sword flower, and said coldly to the man in black who showed his true face, "The skills are not bad, I hope I won't be disappointed too much." ”
The man in black with a scar on his face, without any expression on his face, the knife he held pointed at Gao Changgong, who was just three steps away, but his mind was all on Li Ang, who was walking by, and the sense of oppression that this man gave him was no less than that of Gao Changgong in front of him.
Looking at the guarded scar-faced man in black, Gao Changgong laughed disdainfully, "Idiot, it's better to worry about yourself than worry about him making a move." As he spoke, he stepped out like lightning, and the long knife in his hand brought a terrifying roar, and the momentum was amazing.
Blocking the knife in embarrassment, the scar-faced man in black rolled on the ground several times before standing up, and at this time Li Ang was far away from him, but Gao Changgong was still three steps away from him, staring at him coldly, and the blade he held exuded a chilling cold glow.
Looking at the scar-faced man in black who got up, Gao Changgong's eyes were even more determined, the blade in his hand tore the night sky again, and his quick knife was unleashed, only forcing the scar-faced man in black who thought he could fight with him to block it in a hurry.
Li Ang walked to the side of the soldiers of the military king team who had been sent by Gao Changgong a long time ago, "How is it, have you heard the sound of horses' hooves?" ”
"Stopping about four hundred paces ahead, the number of horses is estimated to be around ten." Looking at Li Ang, who was asking, the soldiers of the King of the Army who had been on standby replied.
"Come with me." Li Ang said quietly, and walked into the darkness ahead, just as he guessed, those people were really careful, and they actually stopped so far away.
The soldiers of the army were stunned for a moment, but in the end they followed Li Ang forward. After all, Gao Changgong said when he gave the order that he would not be on the ground in the future. Leon can command them.
After about two hundred paces, Li Ang made a scattered gesture to the soldiers of the King Corps behind him, asking them to follow fifty paces behind him
The formation of the moon surrounds the front. Walking within a hundred paces of the sound of horses' hooves reported by the soldiers of the departing army, Leon laughed, and he found the place where the men were hiding. He hunched over and walked to the front left like a stalker.
Seeing Li Ang suddenly hunched over, the soldiers of the military king's team also took in the sound and followed him to the left front to surround him.
Through the grass, Leon could already see the figure not far away, he took out the fireworks he picked up from his waist, placed it on the ground at his feet, and then released the fireworks, and in the sound of fireworks, he quickly left the place.
Fireworks lit up the sky again. The figures leading the horses all looked sharply at the place where the fireworks rang off not far away, and then the sound of breaking the air sounded. The two of them, who had been holding their crossbows vigilantly, shot the crossbows in their hands empty.
"Hey! I thought you guys would be happy to see such beautiful fireworks! Leon said in a playful tone as he appeared in front of them, and shook his head as he looked at the man with the crossbow facing him, "You shouldn't have pointed this at me. As he spoke, the soldiers of the King's Ranks, lurking in the darkness, shot their crossbows. The crossbows they used could not only fire in bursts, but also had strong power and amazing accuracy, far surpassing the repeating crossbows used by the Great Qin cavalry.
In an instant, three of those people fell to the ground one by one, they may have good martial arts, but under the strong crossbow at close range, no matter how good the martial arts are, they can only be hated.
Looking at the few people who had hid behind the horses in time, Leon pulled out the black giant sword at his waist, and the skills of these people were beyond his expectations. After all, he was able to react so quickly in the sudden attack of the military king's team. It can be seen that they are by no means ordinary people.
"Try to catch it alive." With a shout, Leon was already swinging his sword and slashing at the horses in front of him, and he would never give these men a chance to escape.
In the neighing, Leon's black giant severed the feet of several horses in succession, and then fiercely attacked the black-clothed men who were fighting to the death with the army against the soldiers.
The scar-faced black-clothed man who fought with Gao Changgong had dozens of blood cuts on his body, although the cuts were not deep, but the blood flowing from so many wounds was enough to make a big man faint, but the scar-faced man was still expressionless support, as if those knife wounds had no effect on him.
Gao Changgong looked at the scar-faced black-clothed man who had not yet fallen, his eyes became more and more solemn, such a warrior who disregarded life and death, except for a few absolutely elite troops in the Great Qin Army, he had really never seen it anywhere else, and he couldn't help but feel even more palpitations in his heart for the behind-the-scenes commander who had such a warrior.
Gao Changgong clenched the knife in his hand, and he decided that this time he must knock down the scar-faced man in black, capture him alive, and pry what he wanted to know from his mouth. As if he had seen through Gao Changgong's thoughts, the man in black with a pale scar-faced face grinned at him, his eyes were full of ridicule, and at the moment when Gao Changgong swung his knife, he reversed the blade in his hand and stabbed into his chest.
The sharp blade pierced through the heart, and looking at the progress in front of him, Gao Changgong, who was stunned, and the man in black with a scarred face suddenly pulled out the blade, and blood gushed out from the knife edge in his chest, "You are a fool!" After saying these last five words, the scar-faced man in black fell to the ground with a mocking smile on his face, he was a real dead man, and he would never let himself fall into the hands of the enemy alive.
Gao Changgong looked at the corpse that had fallen at his feet, the expression on his face froze, and finally he returned the long knife into the scabbard, and then looked at the dark front, he seemed to see Li Ang returning empty-handed, just like him.
Li Ang's expression became the same as Gao Changgong's, when the last man in black died in front of him, his heart also became heavy, dead soldiers, these black men are all dead soldiers, they didn't say a word from beginning to end, they just fought to the death, and even ended themselves with their own hands, so as not to fall into their hands.
It is absolutely not easy to have such a dead man's power! This is all Li Ang's thoughts, now he can't help but wonder if there are people from the clan who want to get involved in the imperial power in Daqin, the current emperor only has one son, the crown prince, once the prince dies, then the emperor can only choose from the children of other clans, in other words, in the assassination of the prince, who is most likely to become the next emperor, who is the most suspicious, but will things be so simple? Li Ang was not sure, after all, the power of the clan was very strong, strong enough to compete with the emperor, and Emperor Taizu at that time took great pains to restrain the imperial power and prevent Daqin from becoming a country that the emperor could decide with a word, and to support the family and the clan, and even did not hesitate to defeat the Confucianism that advocated the heavenly grant of monarchy at that time.
When Li Ang returned to Gao Changgong with the army king's team, the two looked at each other empty-handed, and smiled bitterly together.
"There is nothing suspicious on them, and the weapons they use are clean, without any marks, and even those forbidden crossbows and bows do not show anything wrong." With the death of these black-clothed dead soldiers, Li Ang's clues were broken again, and after seeing these dead soldiers, those prisoners who opened their mouths had become dispensable in his eyes, and they knew too little to be worthless.
"I now think that the people behind the scenes may not send someone to kill them." Li Ang looked at Gao Changgong and said in a low voice.
"If that's the case, then the person behind the scenes is too terrible." Gao Changgong's face was solemn, and then he looked at the three captives in his hands and said, "You take these three people away, I think it is better for me and the military king team to continue to hide in the shadows." ”
"That's fine." Li Ang nodded and said to Gao Chang, "If necessary, directly transfer troops to escort the prince back, this time, I don't think we can take it anymore." ”
"I know, I will send someone to contact our people in the United States, and the safety of the prince is the top priority." After Gao Changgong asked his subordinates to hand over the three captives to Li Ang, he replied in a deep voice.
Before dawn, Li Ang returned to his camp with three captives, he didn't hide the matter of the dead soldiers, and he didn't think he could hide it, if Cao Anmin decided to cancel the trip to the United States directly because of this, it would be the best.
