Chapter 0069: Langya
In mid-July, Wu Bai led the shadow guard to Langya County Hardware City. The pen %fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info the helm of the hardware city secret guard personally greeted and arranged the place of cultivation.
The goal of this trip is not like the group of dead assassins in Lanling, who chose to settle in the abandoned Guliuzhuang. They are more daring and hide directly inside the hardware city.
According to Wu Bai's use of the method of destroying delusion, the news came from Assassin Fifteen. The dead soldiers of Langya County Hardware City, controlled by the Assassin Nine.
Their mission seems to be related to the Mighty Tiger Army, the details of which are unclear to Assassin XV. The eighteen assassins who controlled the dead soldiers of Tianjian Mountain went their own way, and although they exchanged information, they did not know the specific details of each other's missions.
……
Hardware City, located between the Weihuwei station and Langya County, is the only way to travel between the two places.
In a high-walled compound in the north of the city, Assassin Nine sat on his side with his head propped up in a gazebo, closing his eyes and resting his mind. A strong man stood respectfully in front of him.
Suddenly, an eagle roared, and the strong man moved when he heard the sound, and took out a short bamboo flute from his arms and blew it.
The goshawk fell on top of the courtyard scaffolding with the sound of the flute. He stepped forward quickly, untied the small bamboo tube tied to the eagle's leg, took out the note hidden in it, and carefully examined it.
Hearing the fluttering of the goshawk's wings as it landed in the courtyard, the Assassin Nine stood up with his hands behind his back. Asked the strong man: "Is there any news?" ”
After reading the note, the strong man replied to Assassin Nine: "Ninth Master, the brother in charge of contact has a message." The grain and grass officer who was bought by us has destroyed the account books in the army and is fleeing to the hardware city! ”
When Assassin Jiu heard this, he immediately ordered: "Send thirty brothers, no matter what costs, be sure to get rid of him before Wu Zhenguo!" ”
After the strong man took the order and left, another person came to report that there was news from Lanling. Assassin Nine summoned the messenger and asked, "Could it be that Fifteen has completed the mission?" ”
The person who sent the arraignment hurriedly replied: "Back to the ninth master, the fifteenth master was killed by Wu Youhu in Lanling, and none of the dead soldiers escaped. ”
When Assassin Nine heard this, he couldn't help but feel a tightening heart. He knew the ability of fifteen, not to mention that there were dozens of dead soldiers from Tianjian Mountain.
This Wu Youhu is really a bit mysterious, not to mention anything else, how did he know where Fifteen and Eleven should hide?
Thinking of this, the Assassin Nine, who sensed the dangerous aura, ordered all the dead to move elsewhere.
However, he definitely didn't expect that this place had been targeted by the dark guards three days ago, and if he wanted to transfer from under the noses of the dark guards, it would depend on whether they had the ability to do so!
……
Thirty miles away from the hardware city, five men galloped on their horses with panicked expressions. More than 100 knights then came in the dust, seemingly chasing the five men.
The speed of the two sides was almost equal, and the general who led more than 100 knights saw that he had not been able to catch up for a long time, and scolded in a hurry: "Chestnut child, if you don't get off your horse and be bound, he will definitely raise troops to punish you one day!" ”
Among the five men running in front of him, a man in his forties with a face as white as frost heard this, and his speed did not slow. Haha laughed and said: "General Wu is so angry, like a lowly person like you, the gate of the imperial capital is not yet able to enter, and you dare to threaten to punish the old man?" ”
Since the Rebellion of the Eight Kings in the Great Zhen Empire, the kings wantonly inflated the status of the scholars in order to win over the scholars to get their assistance. The most absurd thing is that after the status of these warriors was raised, they began to despise the generals more and more. By the way, the poor people who selected the imperial examination were also suppressed.
Huan Zhiru ended the rebellion of the Eight Kings and helped Emperor Wen to reign in the world. Emperor Wen wanted to set things right, but the momentum of the scholars was not something that could be shaken for a while.
This saying that 'the humble general does not ascend to the court' means that the military general guards the border pass, and the cold gate is placed in the place, and neither of them can be officials in the center of the imperial capital.
When General Wu, who led the army in hot pursuit, heard this, he was even more angry and roared to the sky. When the man running in front of him heard this, he looked proud and proud.
It's just that he didn't wait long for him to be proud, and the war horse ridden by five people suddenly sank into the ground with its front hooves more than three feet on the ground. The force was hedged, and suddenly the person turned on his back.
The five were thrown seven or eight paces away, lying there motionless, not knowing whether they were alive or dead.
When General Wu, who was in hot pursuit, saw this, his first reaction was not to gloat. Instead, he shouted loudly with a serious expression: "There is a trap on the horse, a roundabout!" ”
The knight behind him repeated the words, pushing them one by one until the tail. As they shouted, the knights first tightened their reins to slow down their horses, and then adjusted their direction to spread out on both sides. Each side rushed out about a dozen steps and stopped, and none of the soldiers fell off their horses.
All this happened in an instant, which shows the extraordinaryness of General Wu and more than 100 dead soldiers.
Just as the knight reined in his horse, thirty dead soldiers suddenly burst out and went straight to the man whose face was as white as frost. Look at the ruthlessness of that shot, it's absolutely terrible.
General Wu reacted at the first time when the dead soldier came out, although it was not a pity for the chestnut boy to die, but before he explained the inside story, he must not be allowed to die, this was the general's solemn order.
"Sons, kill with Ben and snatch people back!"
When more than 100 knights heard this, they raised their bows and drew their swords to kill them. The knights who caught the sword and fought head-on cooperated with the knights who attacked with strong bows in the distance, and eight dead soldiers died in an instant.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the rest of the dead soldiers gave up their defenses one by one and killed the man whose face was as white as frost.
The dead man went berserk, completely sparing the impact of his life, so that the knight's cooperation was flawed. A dead soldier seized the opportunity to pounce on the man who was as white as frost, as if he wanted to cut off his head to be at ease.
Just as the dead man swung his sword and slashed down, the man with a face as white as frost suddenly rolled on the spot and avoided it!
The dead man missed the blow, and when he was about to make another killing move, General Wu rushed over with a knife and fought with him.
Seeing this, the man's eyes turned as white as frost, and he quietly grabbed an arrow and hid it under him.
When General Wu cut off the arm of the dead soldier in a few moves, and was about to kill him, the man with a face as white as frost suddenly burst out, strangled General Wu's neck, and pressed an arrow against his throat.
said: "A despicable person can't escape the old man's calculation after all!" ”
When several knights noticed this, their expressions changed dramatically and they wanted to step forward. General Wu was controlled by others, and did not have a trace of panic, and said to his subordinate knights: "Kill with peace of mind." Enemy, don't be distracted, this is going to be a game with the grain and grass officer"
What he said seemed to be like two people who scolded him just now. He said indifferently to the man who was as white as frost: "No matter what you and I do, kill these dead soldiers first, you don't have an opinion on this, right?" ”
When the man with a face like hoarfrost heard this, he said directly without thinking about it: "Of course, the old man can even tell you that the burning of the account book is also led by the person behind the dead man!" ”
People like him, as long as they have enough interests, their relatives and friends can sell them appropriately, not to mention these embarrassed people who go back on their word.
General Wu did not speak again, and the two kept holding and being held hostage. Until the dead are killed. Only then did the man with his face like hoarfrost speak again: "The old man doesn't mind letting General Wu give him a ride!" ”
