He raised his head and was about to shout for the soldiers to find the assassin, but he heard a great confusion on the side, someone was screaming in the Shaanxi dialect, and the soldiers who were far away did not know what was happening for a while, and stood up and watched.

Wei Changfeng hurriedly rushed over, only to see a few soldiers in front of him waving swords and shouting, but their faces were pale, and their steps were slowly retreating. He lifted his feet when he separated the soldiers, but he stood up sharply.

In front, a chief stood on the spot. Nashi Changwei Changfeng recognized that it was the chief who didn't know the grass snake before, and the soldiers who swung their swords indiscriminately thought to be the soldiers who explored the way before, at least these soldiers all spoke the Shaanxi dialect, and they should be the townsmen of this chief.

At this moment, there is a strange insect that is not more thick than an inch and green on this long hand. Half of the body of the strange insect was like a thin green vine, wrapped around Shichang's arm, the front end had reached into Shichang's upper arm meat, and the back half was neatly coiled into a square like a knife-cut tofu, but this square was quickly turning into a long green line.

"Throw it away!" Wei Changfeng hurriedly yelled.

Nashi Chang's throat gurgled, and his arm seemed to be trying to move, but he didn't know what to do, but he could only shake it slightly, and he couldn't move at all, and in a moment, half of his forearm had turned pale green.

What exactly is this thing? Wei Changfeng didn't recognize it, but he could make people's arms change so much in a moment, and it was not that he didn't want to move, but he couldn't move, and his body was paralyzed, so it seemed that this strange insect was definitely not good.

Wei Changfeng gritted his teeth, it seemed that he could only cut off one of Shi Chang's arms, he was about to draw his sword with his backhand, and with a shout from his side, a figure passed by, only to see that the person had a cloth wrapped in his hand, grabbed Shi Chang's side, and reached out to grab the strange insect.

"Beware of poisoning!" Wei Changfeng hurriedly reminded.

The man nodded sideways to show that his hand had already grasped the body of the strange insect, and his hand suddenly became very soft, slowly pulling the strange insect outward.

Wei Changfeng froze to the side.

He had just seen this face. This person is the same Zhou Laosan who scolded him in the alleys of Xingcheng and almost shot him with an arrow in the barracks, and he is also the assassin he is looking for!

Yes, last night's assassin was none other than Zhou Laosan.

This question is the question that Wei Changfeng suddenly figured out in the morning.

He could figure it out because of the lumps of mud that had fallen into his bedding.

It wasn't ordinary dirt, or rather, it wasn't the damp dirt on the ground outside, but a cracked lump of mud, cracked inside out.

It is impossible for such mud to be on the soles of his shoes, that is, they were not brought in by the soles of the Assassin's shoes while walking, so where could they be? It could be on clothes, or on the body. The problem is that even last night, Bai Qi had ordered the whole army to take a bath, and everyone's clothes and bodies had been washed, and even if there were one or two pieces of mud that had not been washed, there would not be so many mud blocks - everyone mentioned here should have to be except for one person: the mute.

As soon as the assassin exited the tent, he disappeared immediately, and it could only be that he fell asleep and pretended to be asleep in the snoring Han sergeant stroke, that is, he must have been one of the Han sergeant strokes, and this pretending to be asleep had so many dry and cracked mud on his body, then, there was only one person in the entire Han army who met this characteristic: the mute. Only he refuses to bathe, and only the mud on the body of the person who refuses to bathe will be so dry and cracked and so much because it has been dried for a long time.

So the conclusion is: this assassin is the mute. The next question is, why did that dumb man want to assassinate Wei Changfeng? Was it just because Wei Changfeng asked him to take a bath? Apparently not. It seems that this mute refusal to take a bath is not the reason for the strange "defect on his body", but because: he just wants to cover his true face with this dirt, so as not to be recognized by Wei Changfeng and become alert.

The problem is that there are 3,000 sergeants and soldiers in the Han army, and Wei Changfeng recognizes less than 100, why is this dumb man so worried about being recognized by Wei Changfeng? If it was a soldier that Wei Changfeng didn't recognize, was it necessary for him to cover it up like this? So this person must have been recognized by Wei Changfeng at first sight, and when he saw this person, he immediately thought that he had a holiday with this person. There is only one such person: that Zhou Laosan. No wonder Wei Changfeng felt that this person's figure seemed to have been seen somewhere!

Wei Changfeng didn't know that Zhou Laosan was also in this raid team, if Zhou Laosan could cover up his true colors, Wei Changfeng naturally couldn't imagine that someone would want to kill him, so the possibility of a successful assassination was much greater, not to mention that even if the assassination failed, Wei Changfeng didn't know who the assassin should suspect.

All this was originally planned very well, but those few pieces of mud made Wei Changfeng see the problem, and it might as well be said that people are not as good as heaven, if Wei Changfeng didn't happen to meet Zhou Laosan who refused to take a bath, he didn't know who to suspect.

Wei Changfeng just wanted to order his subordinates to find out Zhou Laosan, reprimand him, and then deal with it according to military law, but he didn't expect that this incident suddenly happened, so Wei Changfeng couldn't deal with Zhou Laosan immediately, because the problem that needs to be solved urgently now is: Can Zhou Laosan save Nashichang's life?

(2) Zhou Laosan is slowly pulling out this strange insect at this time, the body of this strange insect seems to be very tough, Zhou Laosan pulls a little faster, the body of the strange insect is stretched like a cow's tendon, and the body will retract back if it is a little slower, Zhou Laosan slowly pulled it out, while whispering: "We call this thing the green hair, and generally will not take the initiative to provoke people, but if it is really provoked, it will burrow into the flesh of the person, and in a moment or three, the person's body will be as stiff as wood, and it will die after the last moment." ”

"Kill it." A soldier next to him whispered an idea.

Zhou Laosan snorted, his hand slipped slightly, and the strange insect drilled into Nashi's long arm for a short time, he hurriedly strengthened his hand, continued to pull out, and replied: "Didn't I say that it will burrow into the flesh?" Once its body is broken, its blood will cause people to rot inch by inch, which is no fun. As he spoke, the body of the strange insect had almost been pulled out, and a small black and red insect head had been exposed, Zhou Laosan was happy when he saw that he was about to succeed, and he used a little more force, and pounced, and he had already pulled the body of the strange insect off the head without paying attention!

Several soldiers around shouted in unison, although the body could not move, but the consciousness was awake, only to hear Zhou Laosan say that this strange insect was so terrifying that he was already scared half to death, and now he suddenly saw Zhou Laosan pull the insect body off, and he couldn't support it anymore, his eyes rolled and fainted, but his body was stiff, although he fainted, he still stood there without moving, and it looked very strange at a glance.

Zhou Laosan was stunned for a moment, then grabbed the insect body and threw it to the ground, took out the knife and slashed it along the worm's head on Nashi's long arm, the skin and flesh were turned open, and the worm's head was completely exposed, Zhou Laosan picked up the worm head with a knife and threw it to the ground, but the blood from the wound on Nashichang's arm had turned green, and it was very viscous, and it almost did not flow out.

The muscles on Zhou Laosan's face jumped, and he suddenly lowered his head, sucked the wound the long arm, sucked twice, and spit blood to the ground with a bang, and there was still green viscous blood hanging on the corner of his mouth.

The surrounding soldiers suddenly fell silent.

Since Zhilu Dao is so poisonous, but he dares to sacrifice his life to save him, this is not something that anyone can do, and all the soldiers have admiration in their eyes.

Zhou Laosan sucked several times, Nashichang's arm suddenly moved, and bright red blood flowed down, and then Nashichang screamed in pain, and fell to the ground with a plop.

Zhou Laosan spit out a mouthful of blood to the ground, pointed to Shi Chang, and motioned to the people on the side to save Na Shi Chang, while he himself hurriedly ran to the side, digging his fingers hard at the throat a few times, and then vomited.

On the side, some soldiers had already helped Nashi Chang up and helped him bandage and rescue, and another soldier handed water to Zhou Laosan to let him gargle.

Wei Changfeng slowly withdrew from the crowd.

This matter is solved by the centurion, he doesn't have to participate, and what he wants to do, he is only afraid that he will have to think about it more, because what he wants to do is to arrest Zhou Laosan and deal with it according to military law, the question is, does such a soldier really have to be killed?

Wei Changfeng sat for a while, in a dilemma. Not dealing with this person is definitely a disaster, although he and Zhou Laosan have a personal vendetta, but Zhou Laosan attacked the Han generals in the dark, such behavior is unforgivable, not to mention that since he can attack and kill Wei Changfeng because of personal vendetta, who can guarantee that he will not make other terrible moves because of personal vendetta? However, Zhou Laosan's performance convinced Wei Changfeng, he could see that Zhou Laosan had no personal relationship with these Ganshan soldiers, but he could almost sacrifice his life to save his comrades, such a character, but he really couldn't forgive.

Whether to spare Zhou Laosan or not, this question did not come up with a result until Wei Changfeng set off again, so he could only let it go again, thinking about how to deal with it while walking.

Halfway through noon, the soldiers stopped again, one for lunch, and the other for a rest, and marched with all their might in the afternoon, and at this time it was estimated from the distance that the dense forest had already gone for the most part, and if it was quickened, it should be able to get out of the river in the evening.

Wei Changfeng hurriedly finished eating, found a place where no one was on the side, and sent soldiers to call Zhou Laosan.

He had already decided, at least a stopgap solution, whether it would work or not, and he had to give it a try.

Zhou Laosan came soon, and when he saw that it was Wei Changfeng, a trace of surprise flashed across his face.

Wei Changfeng saw that the soldier who gave the order had already walked away, and asked Zhou Laosan, "How are you doing?" What kind of damage can there be? ”

Zhou Laosan shook his head and replied: "Lord Chengdutong cares, and it is not a big problem in the lower body, but when I think of Fang Cai's affairs, I can't eat, and I am a little sick to my stomach." ”

Wei Changfeng smiled: "In this way, I didn't disturb you to eat. ”

Zhou Laosan didn't answer, just looked at Wei Changfeng with a look of vigilance, and didn't know what Wei Changfeng was going to do when he was looking for him.
