"Ahh Li Hu sneezed loudly, looked angrily at Jiang Zhe, who was standing in front of the camp tent and watching the snow scene, and hated himself again for how could he be so weak, braving the heavy snow to guard the enemy, he couldn't help but reach out to his waist and touch it, before he touched the handle of the knife, there was a light cough behind him. He looked back angrily, only to see Ling Duan standing there looking at himself with a smile, seeing himself turn around, Ling Duan pursed his lips and motioned to Li Hu to pay attention to a few guards standing not far away, Li Hu was deflated, any tiger guard could capture him, and it was really self-inflicted if he wanted to assassinate Jiang Zhe.
Ling Duan looked at Li Hu's dejected back, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, how could he not help himself, thinking of this, he couldn't help but touch the short brother on his waist, and continued to think about how to successfully assassinate Jiang Zhe.
I can see every move of Li Hu and Ling Duan clearly, and I can't help but show a smile on my lips, and the scene of subduing the two of them resurfaces in front of me, although these two people are still reluctant, but it doesn't matter, as long as I can achieve my goal, it is enough.
Inside the tent, Li Hu looked at the young man in Tsing Yi strangely, although he was a little reckless, but he was not an idiot, the cold aura that this person exuded today made him uncomfortable, and he couldn't help but say: "Hey, who made you angry today, why is your face so ugly?" β
A hint of murder flashed in Li Shun's eyes, and he said: "I have known each other for many days, and the two of them must not know the identity of the next one, and Li Shun is a servant of the Hou of Chu Township." β
Ling Duan had expected it in his heart, but he smiled slightly bitterly, at this time, Li Shun glanced at Ling Duan intentionally or unintentionally, his cold gaze made Ling Duan's heart feel cold, and he wanted to gather true qi, but unfortunately he was seriously injured and just recovered, and he couldn't do it at all, so he had to sit down in a gloomy manner.
Li Hu was dazed, and it took a while to understand, and said: "It turns out that your kid is a subordinate of the prison army, I'll just say, how can someone be so kind for no reason, but Lao Tzu is very strange, if your master wants to kill me and take revenge, he slashed Lao Tzu that day, why is it so troublesome, and you have to wait until Lao Tzu recovers from his injuries before doing it." β
Li Shun's expression became more and more cold, and said: "My son-in-law's identity is unusual, and he has been responsible for the safety of his son-in-law for many years, but he actually let you almost hurt his son's life under my nose, how can this kind of shame not be reported, and if I let you go gently, wouldn't it make others think that I Li Shun is a bully." Li likes to return a tooth for a tooth in his life, but when you were captured that day, I had the will to die, if I killed you at that time, it would make you happy, so I asked people to treat your injuries and treat you with courtesy, and when you don't want to die, I will kill you again, so that I can call my heart. However, a cut off the head is still cheap for you, so I give you two choices, the first choice, I will select a warrior from the captives of the Northern Han Army, let you duel with him, the winner lives, the loser dies, if you can win a few more games, you can naturally live a few more days. The second option, I have prepared all kinds of torture for you, if you can survive them one by one, I will let you go, if you can't survive the torture, you will naturally die. β
Li Hu heard a chill on his back, these two ways of death are not good choices, but he is quite tough, and said stubbornly: "Since Lao Tzu has fallen into your hands, you can kill if you want to, Lao Tzu has no leisure to play games with you, but cannibalism Lao Tzu will not do it, if you want to use the punishment, just use the punishment, see how long Lao Tzu can last." β
Xiao Shunzi smiled slightly, with a hint of cruelty in his smile, and was about to speak, but Ling Duan rushed to say: "Stupid, if you want to die happily, you should choose a duel, at most, you will collide with the opponent's weapon in the first game, and you will die a happy death." If someone is tortured, when you can't survive and die, you can't help but beg for mercy, and when the time comes, they will take you out to show the public, and you will be discredited even if you die. β
Li Hu heard it as if he was falling into an ice cave, but he was also a little unconvinced, and said: "How do you know that I won't die of torture, but I will make such an ugly appearance." β
Ling Duan smiled bitterly, and said in his heart, I have been by the general's side for many years, it is easy to die generously, but it is difficult to be righteous calmly, even a man cast of steel and iron, it is difficult to struggle for long under torture, and the general is also a person who is good at using torture. Although he wanted to say a few more words, at this time, Li Shun's cold eyes had already drifted over, and Ling Duan didn't have the courage to remind the dumbfounded tiger again, don't turn his face, and said in his heart, if you don't understand, I can't help it, I don't want to be in a dilemma of life and death.
Xiao Shunzi's eyes flashed with malice, and he said in his heart, this Ling Duan is really eventful, do you want to carry him together?
Li Hu now understands that the two choices of daring are just fakes, the person in front of him is to let himself die a painful and humiliating death, but he refuses to be soft by nature, but laughs and says: "I see, you kid is really not authentic, even killing people does not want to give people a good time, Lao Tzu lives these days to earn money, you can deal with it how you want." After that, he jumped out of bed and walked out, muttering as he walked: "Anyway, Lao Tzu has no relatives and no relatives at home, so what does it matter if he leaves a stigma." β
Xiao Shunzi was stunned, he originally thought that Li Hu would change his mind and ask for a good time, and he was still thinking about how to make a timely move to prevent this Li Hu from dying easily, but Li Hu still chose a more painful death, just because he didn't want his colleagues to kill each other, which made him a little unhappy. But in any case, this man was already a mortal man in his heart, and he was a cold-faced and cold-hearted man, so he turned around and went out to make arrangements. Ling Duan finally couldn't bear it in his heart, and said: "This brother, on the battlefield, life and death are common things, your elders are proud of the spring breeze now, but we are prisoners of the lower ranks, you can naturally dispose of it at will, but is it too much to drag it to today to settle old accounts?" β
Xiao Shunzi stopped, glanced back at Ling Duan, and said: "You are General Tan Ji's guard ghost rider, and you have a lot of admiration for General Tan, so I don't care about your mouths and tongues, otherwise I will let you and Li Hu be guilty of the same crime." General Tan slaughtered countless soldiers and civilians in Zezhou for the sake of his own hatred, these people were originally innocent, presumably you have not been dissuaded, this Li Hu almost hurt the life of his son, this matter can not be tolerated, you say that it is good to repay in the lower eyes, it is good to say that you are vicious, but this person must be killed. You still care about your own life, General Tan's coffin has been sent to the Northern Han Dynasty, naturally there will be no corpse killing, as for you, if it weren't for the magnanimity of His Royal Highness King Qi, you would have been cut by a thousand knives to thank the soldiers and civilians of Zezhou, do you still have the heart to hold grievances for others? β
Ling Duan was stunned, but it was not for this person to mock himself, that person clearly said that he admired the general, how could this be, not to mention that he was a person in the Yong army, he should only have hatred for the general, that is, in the Northern Han Army, in addition to his own direct subordinates of these generals, other generals and soldiers were also very jealous and dissatisfied with the general.
At this time, Li Hu, who slowed down and secretly listened to the conversation between the two, knew that he could not be spared after all, and walked out of the tent with his head a little dejected. Who knew that as soon as he walked outside the tent, he saw a scholar in Tsing Yi standing not far away, dressed in a big hat, and a black-clothed tiger guard standing behind him, although Li Hu only glanced at Jiang Zhe in a hurry that day, but just looking at such a posture, he knew the identity of the person who came, and couldn't help sneering: "It turns out that the Lord of the Prison Army wants to be personally punished, so it is worth it for me Li Hu to die, but thinking of the appearance of the adult in the soup that day, it is really funny to think about it." After that, he laughed out loud, but he wanted to provoke Jiang Zhe, it was best to provoke him to be angry and cut himself with a knife.
Xiao Shunzi was also stepping out of the tent at this time, and when he saw Jiang Zhe standing with a smile, he couldn't help but exclaim, with his martial arts, he would not have ignored the fact that there were people eavesdropping outside, but people came and went in the barracks, Jiang Zhe was standing a little farther away, but he was regarded as an irrelevant person by Xiao Shunzi, and he didn't expect Jiang Zhe to appear here, although the distance was still far away, but Xiao Shunzi, who knew Jiang Zhe's details, knew that what he had just said had been heard, and couldn't help but blush, and stepped forward and said: "I don't want to deceive the son, I really hate this person, and I ask my son to forgive me. β
Li Hu was indignant, but as soon as he said a few cruel words, he saw the man in Tsing Yi looking at him gently, without the slightest malice, and even with a little appreciation, he couldn't help but feel a little at a loss, and said in his heart, it was that Li Shun who wanted to kill me, and it was none of his business, is it too much for me to speak ill of me. He stood aside a little abruptly, peeking at Jiang Zhe, no matter how he looked at it, he felt that this young man was thin and pitiful, remembering that he had hit him into the water with a flying lance that day, he only felt excited at the time, but now he feels a little ashamed when he thinks about it, he is conceited and brave, how can he kill a scholar who is powerless?
He was stunned here, Ling Duan heard the word "Jiang Zhe" in the tent, and couldn't help but move in his heart, he already knew that it was this person's strategy that allowed the general to die in ambush, and he also wanted to see how this person looked. Therefore, he tried his best to get out of the account, and looked at it concentratingly, although he felt that Jiang Zhe's bearing was extraordinary, but he was not the shrewd appearance he thought in his heart, although he was in the army and was a high-ranking official and marquis, this person was still a collar of green clothes, with a smile on his lips, his eyes were soft, and his actions and demeanor revealed a quiet and quiet taste, which made people feel amiable and approachable at first sight. Ling Duan couldn't help but be at a loss, this person was the culprit who killed the general, why couldn't he give birth to a trace of murderous intent?
Seeing that these three people were embarrassed, I couldn't help but shake my head and chuckle, although I knew Xiao Shunzi's temper, but before seeing him retaliate, I had to think about how to prevaricate my excuse in the future, although I was a little annoyed, but I felt more moved and funny, look at Li Hu who was standing there in a daze, this person has never been taken to heart by me, the sun falls into the water, I only hate King Qi for mocking, I didn't think about retaliating against this person at all, I didn't think that Xiao Shunzi was doing it in private, if it wasn't for me bumping into him, Probably this person will curse me even when he arrives in Yellow Springs. Although I don't recognize that person, I saw that he was as cold as ice at a young age, murderous, but his face was fair, and he seemed to rarely see the sun, but he was a rare talent. After glancing at the young man again, I looked at Li Hu and asked with a smile: "It turns out that you sent me to take a cold shower, I don't know who this is?" β
When Ling Duan saw me asking him, he turned his head away, unwilling to answer, Xiao Shunzi glanced at him coldly, and said, "This person's name is Ling Duan, and he is a ghost rider under Tan Ji." β
I said movingly: "I have heard the courage of the ghost riders around General Ghost Face, I didn't expect you to have such a ability at such a young age, it is really rare, rare." After sighing with emotion, I was about to persuade Xiao Shunzi not to pay attention to Li Hu anymore, when a strange idea suddenly appeared in my heart.
In the letter that I was deliberately intercepted by the Northern Han Army that day, I mentioned that there were senior generals in their rear who had the intention to surrender, but I did not allude to a specific person, as for how to increase Long Tingfei's suspicion later, I handed it all over to the King of Qi to do, but I just gave a principle, don't favor one over the other, it's best that everyone is suspicious, everyone seems to be rebellious, so as not to frame the wrong person, so that Long Tingfei will wake up. But when I saw this sergeant, I suddenly thought that compared to other generals, Quartz was actually the most suitable candidate, that day he led the army to intercept and kill me and the King of Qi, it was really lucky to be able to get away with it, presumably there were people in the Northern Han Army who were suspicious, if it was said that Quartz left his hand when chasing and killing us, it was also reasonable, although I really wanted to eradicate Duan Invincible first, but Quartz was more careless and seemed to be more likely to fall into the trap. Thinking of the information I got recently, Tan Ji and Quartz were very different before his death, this time Quartz was injured and stayed in Qinzhou, Tan Ji led the troops but died in ambush, if Tan Ji's personal guards said that Quartz had the intention of rebellion, I am afraid that Long Tingfei would believe it. Thinking of this, I glanced at Ling Duan again, I don't know if Xiao Shunzi had intentionally or unintentionally let them live together, so that I would have a greater chance of success.
However, this matter must not be impatient, and it is imperative to keep these two people by their side first, otherwise how can they have the opportunity to know such a "secret"? Thinking of this, I smiled and said, "It's cold, you can't talk outside, let's go inside." "After that, I walked to the tent, Xiao Shunzi quickly stood beside me, to prevent these two captives from stabbing me, in fact, not to say that they were too seriously injured to stab, there was Xiao Shunzi by my side, even if they were intact, and they did not want to succeed, the so-called danger is like a disaster, in fact, it is more than a heart to understand that there is no danger.
Walking into the tent, I picked a chair and sat down, Li Hu and Ling Duan walked in slowly, a little reluctant and a little curious.
I looked at these two people carefully for a long time, and said with a smile: "Xiao Shunzi, you are inevitably troublesome, after they recover from their injuries in a few days, they will be sent to the hard labor camp, when the time comes, there are heavy soldiers and sanitation outside, unarmed, hard work every day, these two people are outstanding in martial arts, I am afraid they have to wear shackles, it is difficult to get out, these people are all captives, even if we destroy the Northern Han, don't want to regain your free body within a few years, this kind of suffering is enough, why do you have to find an opportunity to retaliate?" β
Although Li Hu and Ling Duan were gloomy when they heard this, they also knew that it should be so, and according to the rules of the battle between the two armies, seriously injured soldiers like them were not of high status, and they were afraid that they would be directly beheaded by the enemy troops who cleaned up the battlefield. Even if they become prisoners of war, they are seriously injured like them, and ordinary military doctors are helpless, and I am afraid they will not live long. Speaking of which, Li Hu was able to live to this day because Xiao Shunzi wanted revenge and had him carefully treated, while Ling Duan was affected by Tan Ji's aftermath, and King Qi specially ordered someone to treat him, which saved his life.
I saw the expressions of the two people, and there was a trace of pity in my heart, people are born to be good and die evil, and the same is true for these two people, if they sacrifice their lives for the country, or face unbearable humiliation, they must not be greedy for life and afraid of death, but now they have become captives, if there is no accident, they naturally want to live, even so, I will not despise them because of this, if I want to force them to return to Dayong and betray the Northern Han, it is absolutely impossible, but use the pressure of death to force them to temporarily give up some dignity, It should still be possible.
Thinking of this, I showed a look that I thought was very sincere, and said: "Brother Li, Jiang's negligence has almost humiliated you, although this matter is a subordinate person's nonsense, but it is also Jiang's lax discipline, as compensation, Brother Li is willing to stay by Jiang's side for the time being, and when the war is over, Brother Li can leave freely." If it was Jiang's heart, he naturally wanted to let Brother Li go, but Brother Li should also understand that Jiang, as a Dayong Supervisor, has some things that are inconvenient to do, but Brother Li can also rest assured that most of the people around Jiang do not need to go into battle to kill the enemy, and they will not embarrass Brother Li and his former comrades, I don't know if Brother Li is willing to accept Jiang's kindness. β
Li Hu's eyes widened, to tell the truth, Jiang Zhe's proposal is indeed very tempting, in addition to not being free enough, it can almost be said to be extremely generous, but Li Hu has just learned a lesson, but he doesn't believe that there will be such a good thing in the world, besides, whether this is considered treason and surrender to the enemy, Li Hu can't understand it, so he doesn't know how to answer for a while.
I looked at Ling Duan again and said: "His Royal Highness King Qi has a lot of respect for General Tan Ji, Jiang also regrets that he did not have the opportunity to meet General Tan, Young Brother Ling is the only surviving person of the ghost cavalry under General Tan, he loves the house and Wu, His Royal Highness also does not want to stay in trouble, but the country has national laws, the army has military regulations, and now Young Brother Ling cannot leave freely, His Royal Highness is a royal nobleman, the commander of the three armies, it is inconvenient to keep Brother Ling by his side, so he has entrusted Jiang to take care of it, if Young Brother Ling doesn't mind, how about staying with Jiang for the time being?" β
Xiao Shunzi stood beside Jiang Zhe, his expression was like ice, but he almost laughed out loud, when did His Royal Highness King Qi entrust Gongzi to come, it was completely Gongzi's words, but he was a smart person, seeing Jiang Zhe's expression, he knew that he must have moved some thoughts, naturally he would not dismantle the stage, but deliberately showed dissatisfaction, and said: "Childe, although you promised His Highness to take care of Ling Duan, but Ling Duan is an enemy after all, and it is enough to detain them in the camp, why stay around, if this person is ungrateful, what should he do if he assassinates Gongzi, And this Li Hu, it is already his blessing that Gongzi does not blame him, so why should he stay by his side? β
Although his words were full of disapproval, he supported Jiang Zhe's statement even more, making Li Hu and Ling Duan feel that Jiang Zhe really had good intentions. But Li Hu and Ling Duan couldn't agree, although staying in the camp is definitely much more comfortable than doing hard labor, and they can be free soon, no matter what the war between Dayong and the Northern Han is, the two of them can always find a chance to get out, but will they fall into hatred for eternity because of this, and become traitors and thieves from then on? The two of them were very uneasy, and the two of them, who were originally reluctant to talk to each other in order to pass the boredom, exchanged glances a few times, but unfortunately one was too careless, and the other was not very good at expressing, and it almost became a farce, and they still couldn't decide for a long time.
I felt funny in my heart, but I also knew that it was impossible to want them to agree explicitly, and after the lure was over, it was natural to coerce, so I deliberately ignored the possibility of their refusal, and said: "Since neither of you objected, Xiao Shunzi, you can arrange it, let the two of them live in the camp of the Tiger Guard, and when their injuries are better, let them go to the tent to listen to it." β
Anyway, I didn't look at their expressions of reluctance, or even ready to refuse, and took three steps and two steps, and hurried out with the guards. Li Hu was the most anxious, and said loudly: "Wait a minute, Lao Tzu doesn't ......" As soon as the words came out, he swallowed back, because he saw Xiao Shunzi blocking in front of him, with a strange smile on his face, and his white right hand had been pressed on his shoulder for some time, and a wisp of cold true qi came in from the shoulder well, Li Hu only felt cold all over his body, and he couldn't say a word. Ling Duan's heart was cold, he clearly saw the faint murderous intent in Xiao Shunzi's eyes, and couldn't help but exclaim: "Didn't Guishang already let Li Hu go?" β
A trace of hesitation flashed in Xiao Shunzi's eyes, and after a while, he put down his hand and said: "Since Childe has decided, I have nothing to say, but if you want to refuse, I will kill the two of you immediately, at most give Childe a few words of blame, Childe is so kind, if you don't appreciate it, you don't know whether you live or die, and it is not too much for me to kill you." β
Both of them were shocked in their hearts, being killed in this situation, but it was really a bit unreasonable, Ling Duan gritted his teeth, and said in his heart, if I stay, maybe I can kill Jiang Zhe one day, and then it will be worth dying, and I don't care if such an idea is just an excuse, Ling Duan said hatefully: "I am willing to obey my fate, tiger, what about you?" Li Hu also became smart at this time, and he actually saw Ling Duan's hint, so he said in a rough voice: "Me too." β
Xiao Shunzi's eyes flashed with a trace of irrepressible murderous intent, at this moment he was really a little angry, what these two people were thinking about, he could see it at a glance, it was not something he wanted to let two people with different ambitions stay by Childe's side. However, he had to forcibly suppress the anger in his heart, and he understood that it was not strange for these two to have such thoughts, which was one of the reasons why Childe was sure that they would give in. When he walked out of the camp, Xiao Shunzi secretly sneered in his heart, but unfortunately these two people are too naΓ―ve, human nature is very eccentric, once submission becomes a habit, they will gradually give up their persistence, whether they are sincere or not, this submission will make them gradually give up the courage to hate and resist, but before they completely give in, they still have to be careful at all times, but although they don't quite understand Childe's plan, these two people are afraid that they will be completely used by Childe before they give in.
Since that day, Li Hu and Ling Duan have been forced to change into Yongjun's clothes and armor and become the personal guards of the prison army Jiang Zhe, and the two of them have always thought about assassinating Jiang Zhe, because if they don't think so, they will remember the scene of being coerced by Jiang Zhe's "sweet words" and Xiao Shunzi's "threat" that day and succumbed. It's a pity that there is no good opportunity, although Jiang Zhe is kind and lazy, and he seems to be completely unsuspecting towards the two, but unfortunately the guards around him are cautious, not to mention the assassination, even if they touch the weapon, they will attract more than a dozen eyes, not to mention that the little Shunzi is almost always by Jiang Zhe's side, and the cold gaze seems to be able to penetrate the hearts of the two. Speaking of this, the two of them were even more puzzled, although they stayed by Jiang Zhe's side to serve, Jiang Zhe actually ordered someone to give them weapons, and even Li Hu said in private, is this master of the prison army a good person? Ling Duan didn't think so about this, at least every time His Royal Highness King Qi came down to discuss military affairs with Jiang Zhe, the two of them would be isolated, it seemed that Jiang Zhe was not unsuspecting. But in this way, Ling Duan let go of his thoughts, he is not an idiot, he has followed the general for a few years, and he also knows some art of war, if Jiang Zhe puts on a posture of completely trusting himself, Ling Duan must have decided that Jiang Zhe must have malicious intentions.
Li Hu is another big sneeze, it stands to reason that he is a native of the Northern Han Dynasty, living in the colder Qinzhou all the year round, and should not be so susceptible to cold, but unfortunately he is now recovering from a serious injury, and his vitality is greatly injured, so he is naturally prone to illness, but although Ling Duan is young, his internal strength is well trained, and now he has basically acted as usual.
At this time, snow began to fall in the air again, and the little Shunzi, who was the most fearful of the two, walked up to Jiang Zhe and said, "Childe, it's snowing, let's go back to the tent and rest." β
Ling Duan rubbed his cold hands, and eavesdropped on Jiang Zhe's answer, in such a cold weather, he also wanted to go back to the fire earlier. From afar, a voice came from the wind: "The day after tomorrow is the death of my father, but unfortunately I am scattered and can't go back to the grave, do you know what temples are nearby, and it is good to be able to go to the Buddha to pay tribute." Xiao Shunzi hesitated for a moment and said: "Childe, there is a Ten Thousand Buddha Temple sixty miles away from here, it was originally a big Zen temple, and then the Northern Han Army invaded Zezhou several times, this Buddhist temple was abandoned, recently our army has won a big victory, Zezhou is in ruins, and the Ten Thousand Buddha Temple also has a monk to preside, it should be able to do things, and the people of Zezhou believe that the Northern Han Army can not invade an inch of land, so from here to Wanfu Temple along the way has gradually had a village and a wild shop, and before winter, the road has also been renovated, if Childe goes, it should be no hindrance, However, it has snowed heavily in the past few days, and I am afraid that the road will not be too easy to walk. β
As soon as I heard this, a hearty laugh suddenly came from the distance, and said: "With the clouds, the wind and snow are so painful." Ling Duan looked, but it was King Qi in civilian clothes who came in the snow.
Jiang Zhe also saw King Qi, but he was unhappy for a while, and said: "Your Highness is here, presumably there is military affairs, Zhe is just a prison army, and His Highness doesn't need to discuss everything with Zhe, right?" β
King Qi smiled and said: "With a talent like you, if this king doesn't know how to use it, wouldn't it be too stupid, this king does have something to discuss with you." After speaking, he dragged Jiang Zhe towards the camp tent.
Ling Duan looked at Li Hu, shrugged his shoulders, and walked towards the camp where the two lived together, once Li Xian arrived, someone would let them go back to the camp to rest, so this time the two did not wait for the order at all, and directly prepared to return to the camp. He hadn't taken a few steps yet, but he saw Zhuang Jun, the guard beside King Qi, hurriedly walking, Ling Duan stopped, he recognized Zhuang Jun, when he was captured, Zhuang Jun visited his injury for King Qi, so Ling Duan was ready to say hello to him.
Zhuang Jun was overjoyed when he saw Ling Duan stop, walked up to him in a few steps, and said with a smile: "Ling Duan, I have something to tell you, let him go back first." Li Hu heard what he said, and he didn't say much, so he left Ling Duan to go back on his own. Ling Duan felt a little strange and asked, "Guard Zhuang, is there something wrong?" β
Zhuang Jun said with a solemn expression: "Ling Duan, you have been living with Li Hu, have you ever heard him talk about intercepting and killing His Highness?" β
Ling Duan was a little dazed and said, "I've heard him say it, but he doesn't understand it very clearly. β
Zhuang Jun's face became darker, and he said, "What do you know?" β
Ling Duan's heart sank, and he said vigilantly: "I don't know much, I only know that they divided their troops to pursue, and they were finally defeated in Gushanzhai, how defeated he didn't see it, so I don't know, I only heard him say that the overseer fell into the water." He didn't hide it, I'm afraid Zhuang Jun knew much more about these things than he did.
Zhuang Jun seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "Since that's the case, forget it, okay, you and I haven't seen each other for many days, while His Royal Highness and Lord Jian Jun discuss the military situation, let's talk, how are you doing lately?" β
Ling Duan's heart moved, seeing Zhuang Jun intentionally or unintentionally looking at the camp where he lived, a thought suddenly emerged, Zhuang Jun wanted to drag himself here, and asked himself what Li Hu had said, could it be that there was something in the way, he was in a hurry, and he didn't care about being perfunctory with Zhuang Jun, turned around and ran towards the camp, but saw two Qi King guards blocking his way. Ling Duan was cross-hearted, short Ge drew out, although he had just recovered from his injuries and his strength was insufficient, but Xi Zi Tan Ji's Ge technique was really extraordinary, but three moves and two styles, a guard was forced to stagger a step, Ling Duan rushed to the camp, at this time Zhuang Jun shouted: "Let him go." β
Rushing back to the camp tent, Ling Duan saw Li Hu on the ground at a glance, the two Qi King guards were dragging Li Hu, preparing to leave the tent, Ling Duan was shocked, although he knew that it was useless, but he still blocked the two of them, and his hand trembled slightly, he knew very well that if it was really King Qi who wanted to kill Li Hu, he couldn't think about it, but these days, Ling Duan had already put aside the grievances between Tan Ji and Quartz, according to his thoughts, no matter how much Quartz hated it, it didn't matter about Li Hu, such a straightforward man, let himself watch him die, how could he bear it in his heart.
At this time, Zhuang Jun walked over slowly with a few guards, and the tiger guards living in the tents on both sides also surrounded him, looking at this strange scene curiously.
Zhuang Jun sighed and said: "Ling Duan, Li Hu's matter has nothing to do with you, King Qi has issued a military order, and he is also among the beheadings, so you still don't have to ask." β
Ling Duan's expression became hideous, his breath became thicker, and he clenched his short words and said: "We are prisoners, life and death cannot be autonomous, you naturally want to kill if you want, but if you want to take Li Hu away, kill me first, anyway, I have long wanted to go with General Tan." β
Zhuang Jun said coldly: "If you want to save people, just pass me first." With that, he struck Ling Duan with a palm, Ling Duan fought back, the two exchanged more than ten moves, Ling Duan was already out of breath, and after a few more moves, he knocked Zhuang Jun down with a palm. Zhuang Jun sighed and said, "This time, I will treat it as if it never happened, you go back and rest." With a wave of his hand, the two guards dragged the half-unconscious Li Hu out. Ling Duan's eyes were cracked, but he couldn't get up, he was young after all, and his eyes were actually a little misty.
At this time, a tiger guard's face turned pale, and he stepped forward to stop him: "Guard Zhuang, there is an order from the Lord of the Prison Army, these two people are taken in by the Lord himself, if there is no order, please forgive me for not allowing you to take Li Hu away." β
Zhuang Jun arched his hand and said: "Your Highness is supervising the camp of the army, this matter is very important, and the lord will not stop it." β
The Tiger Guard said coldly: "I have sent someone to inform the Lord, if the Lord's order, I will naturally not ask." β
At this time, a tiger guard hurriedly ran from Jiang Zhe's tent and whispered a few words in this person's ear, Ling Duan faintly heard it, and the man said, "Intercept and kill...... Do not leak...... Kill somebody to do away with a witness. Although it was intermittent, Ling Duan already understood in his heart that it seemed that Li Hu was included in the list of people who needed to be eliminated because of some confidential matters. What is the matter, even such a little person has to be silenced, and Fang Jun's vague question echoed in his mind again.
