"Gong Xiu, since you're here, come in."

Xiao Ji casually inserted the saber into the scabbard, did not turn around, and spoke in a flat tone.

The military hou hurriedly stepped into the military tent and said with a deep respect: "General, don't hurt yourself!" ”

"Lord Tian is really too cautious, if this continues, the surrounding counties still don't think that my cavalry army is weak and can be bullied!" Although Xiao Ji was resentful in his heart, Tian Yu's reputation in Suozao County was too high, and his influence in the army was getting bigger and bigger, so he didn't dare to disobey a little at all, and now his subordinates were about to be beheaded, but he could only watch.

"Lord Xiao has forgotten, although our department belongs to the Xiao Cavalry Army, most of them are the old departments of the Xiyuan Army, and those official schools will not forget the grace of the adults back then, if Lord Xiao ascends to the heights, he will definitely respond."

"Bold, this official is brave and loyal to Lord Tian, you sleek villain actually dare to have the heart to murder!" Xiao Ji was full of emotion, took out the sharp saber on his waist with his hand, and looked at Gong Xiu with murderous awe.

Gong Xiu knelt down and said: "The sun and the moon rotate, the heaven and the earth are reborn, and the adults are born in troubled times, so naturally they should overcome the thorns and thorns and exterminate the chaotic party to think that it is involved, and we are willing to follow it to the death." ”

"Are you waiting?" Xiao Ji was slightly stunned.

"Come in!" Gong Xiu saluted respectfully, got up and said to the outside of the tent.

Soon three officers who had obviously been waiting outside the tent for a long time poured into the military tent and bowed to Xiao Ji, most of these people were the old department of the Xiyuan Army, because of lack of ability or character problems, and were not reused by Tian Yu, they were already resentful, Gong Xiu was a little tempted and instigated, and everyone proposed to come to Xiao Ji to make the decision.

"How dare you rebel!" Xiao Ji asked sharply.

"Tian Yu is not my king, we are not his ministers, where is the rebellion, Lord Xiao is far-sighted and strategic, if it were not for Tian Yu, I am afraid that he would have already led the army to attack Dong Zhuo and help the Han family, we really feel worthless for the adults." The commander of the first military academy faced Xiao Ji's murderous aura and said loudly.

"Who are you to dare to talk about here!" Xiao Ji became more and more angry, the sharp knife in his hand was clenched, and his sharp eyes scanned back and forth between the military schools.

"Xiaguan Pang Yi, in charge of a tun of soldiers, although he is a newly recruited subordinate of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, but he has admired the adult for a long time, I am willing to follow the adult, if the adult can't believe me, even if he is killed on the spot, he will never frown!"

Xiao Ji suddenly laughed, casually inserted the saber into the scabbard, stepped forward to help the kneeling officers up, motioned for everyone to sit down, turned back to the main seat and hugged his fists and apologized: "Don't blame, the world is dangerous, you have to be cautious, please sit down." ”

"Xia Guan dared to ask the last sentence, Lord Xiao plans to part ways and support the troops to stand on his own, or is Yu Yuwei in control of the Xiao cavalry!" As soon as he sat down, Gong Xiu, the military candidate, asked with a fist.

"Although this official has a lot of grievances, it's just that Tian Yu has a very high reputation in Suozao County, and a group of soldiers and civilians are deeply gracious, if they don't succeed, they are likely to be captured and killed!"

Xiao Ji has long been dissatisfied with Tian Yu, but he has no chance to make a move, and most of the subordinate generals are selected by Tian Yu on the basis of merit, and his heart is unclear, and Xiao Ji does not dare to act rashly.

Now that there are people following, it is worth a temptation, and it is not impossible to take this opportunity, but Xiao Ji is cautious, and will not say what he thinks, but encourages these subordinate generals to give advice.

"Tian Yu is famous, most of the leading officers in the army are his cronies, the original 4,000 old departments of the Xiyuan Army are already under control, and the soldiers who can be led are only 1,000.

Gong Xiu's eyes flashed a trace of gloom, his palm slashed his throat, and he made a decapitation action, just because of his small negligence in alcoholism, he had always held a grudge against Tian Yu for demoting him from Qu Chang to Tun Chang, and now he can follow Xiao Ji to get rid of Tian Yu, so he is naturally very positive.

"How can I not know what you said, it's just that the guards around Tian Yu have all the skills, if Tian Yu can't be taken down in a moment, once the elite of the cavalry army arrives, I will definitely die."

Xiao Ji was a little displeased, and planned to have something to do with him, but he could only come up with such a hopeless bad idea, and his attitude towards Gong Xiu and the others was a lot colder.

"If you want to capture and kill Tian Yu, you must take the bait first, take the opportunity to strangle, and then the big thing has been decided, as long as the adults rush to the scene as soon as possible, kill a few scapegoats at will, frame them in other counties, and then threaten to avenge Tian Yu, presumably under the anger of the cavalry, they will inevitably follow the adults."

Gong Xiu, who was active-minded, naturally saw Xiao Ji's dissatisfaction, but before he came, Gong Xiu had already thought of countermeasures, and it was not impulsive to come to instigate Xiao Ji today.

"You're talking about bait, isn't that her!" Xiao Ji asked in astonishment.

It seems that the adults have guessed that although Tian Yu is pure-hearted and very busy with reviewing official documents every day, he takes great care of Miss Ning'er, and always takes time to go to the mansion to have a look, and when he enters the mansion, the surrounding soldiers are all transferred.

"As long as we sneak in, capture the woman first, hide the knife and axe hand in the mansion, and kill Tian Yu when he goes, naturally the big thing can be decided!" Gong Xiu chuckled and said very confidently.

"Miaoce, it's just that Tian Yu won't bring soldiers into the courtyard, but the entire mansion is still surrounded by water, how can we enter the mansion, if Tian Yu doesn't go to the mansion, won't we fall short?" Xiao Ji was overjoyed in his heart, and soon his face changed slightly and asked worriedly.

"Xiaguan and Chief Pang Tun have arranged their cronies in Tian Yu's guards, and we know all of Tian Yu's movements."

Gong Xiu got up and clasped his fists, approached Xiao Ji and whispered: "I have ordered Chief Pang Tun to install our people in the courtyard, and cut a hidden gap in the west wall in advance, which is usually covered by loose soil. ”

"Hahaha!" Xiao Ji stroked his palms and laughed, stood up and walked back and forth with joy.

It's just that Xiao Ji's face suddenly sank and said: "This matter is very important, please stay in the camp today, if anyone has bad intentions, don't blame me Xiao Ji for being ruthless." Xiao Ji's expression suddenly changed, and he comforted him very kindly: "You and I will work together, and your glory and wealth will be indispensable in the future!" ”

Xiao Ji is cautious, so naturally he will not let these people go, and no one dares to guarantee that there are Tian Yu's people among these people, but even if there is, as long as they are strictly controlled.

Tomorrow to kill Tian Yu, will lead the water to the east, saying that the assassins are the private soldiers of those surrounding counties, presumably it is easy to control the Xiao cavalry, those supporters of Tian Yu, even if they are unwilling, can only follow him to unite in all directions, and when the time comes, who lives and who dies, it is not his jealousy.

*****

In the middle of the night, a few cats and dogs barked occasionally, and soon fell silent in the boundless night, in front of the Tianyu Mansion house, a guard soldier said to go to the toilet, and went to the corner of the shadows.

Suddenly a figure flashed, the soldier standing by the wall did not feel panicked unexpectedly, but handed out a bamboo board casually, the figure quickly walked past the soldier, and quickly disappeared into the darkness, the soldier lifted his pants, and quickly went back to continue to stand guard.

Suddenly, several guards from the Tianyu Inner Mansion walked out of the door, glanced at the more than ten armor soldiers standing in front of the door, and called the standing guard armor soldiers who had just returned to the side.

Seeing that he was surrounded by a group of tigers and wolves, the soldier who stood guard forced his fists to clench his fists calmly and wondered: "You don't know what you are doing? ”

The guards on both sides suddenly stepped forward to restrain him, and the guards standing behind him stretched out their hands to cover their mouths and noses, only to see a flash of cold light, and a dagger suddenly pierced from the back of the heart in an instant, and in the frightened gaze of the guard armor, blood continued to drip down the armor to the ground, and his eyes gradually diluted until he lost his breath.

"Phew, damn traitor!" With a wave of his hand, the guards quickly lifted the armor out of the country and hid him in the haystack, and the guards quickly returned to the mansion.

A group of armor soldiers standing guard in front of the mansion, although they wondered why the one who was called away did not come back, but these guards not only protected Tian Yu's safety, but also had great power, and they could often cut first and then play, and the rest of the armor soldiers standing guard couldn't hide, where did they dare to ask more.

Getting the specific time when Tian Yu will go to the mansion tomorrow and visit Miss Ning'er, Xiao Ji was overjoyed, and took advantage of the fact that the sky was not yet transparent, leading more than a dozen carefully selected military experts, and Gong Xiu, the commander of the army, Pang Yi and others, walked towards the mansion with swords in hand.

Everyone came to the west wall of the mansion, Pang Yi stepped forward to learn the birdsong, and soon the same birdsong came from inside, and a group of armor soldiers carefully began to take away the mound, and followed the people in the mansion towards the hall, and the wall was restored to its original state, and there were no traces of excavation at all.

Ning'er, who had just gotten up and was dressed, was making female red in the room, when she suddenly heard a burst of dense footsteps outside, and before she could react, the door had been suddenly knocked open, and a domestic servant covered in blood fell to the ground miserably**.

A group of armor soldiers whose bodies were splashed with blood rushed in, and the leader Xiao Ji hacked the servant to death with a knife, staring at Ning Er with cold eyes and saying, "Don't resist, so as not to suffer." ”

Ning Er turned her head away from looking at the tragic death of the domestic servant, took a deep breath and said calmly: "Since you are coming for me, why slaughter these subordinates!" ”

Xiao Ji was angry in his heart, how could everyone dare to talk to him like this, and suddenly stepped forward in anger, picked up his palm and slapped Ning'er to the ground.

Ning Er propped up her arms, slowly stood up and wiped away the blood that overflowed from the corners of her mouth, and stared at Xiao Ji coldly.

"You!" Xiao Ji saw Ning Er's resentful eyes, and felt irritable in his heart, and was about to fight again, but was dissuaded by Pang Yi, the tun chief beside him.

Suddenly, Xiao Ji's face changed, and he looked at Ning Er's whole body and sneered: "I heard that you are Gongsun Yi's woman, Tian Yu also favors you, when I kill Tian Yu, I will let my soldiers take good care of you, to every corner." ”

Ning Er's heart tightened, and she shouted coldly: "It's better than a beast!" ”

Xiao Ji sneered: "Press it down and tie it up for me, I want her to watch me cut off Tian Yu's head with her own eyes!" ”

The sky was dark, and a group of soldiers brought by Xiao Ji dressed up as servants at home, and began to clean the courtyard and bury pots to make rice, and a group of sword and axe men hid in various mansions and waited for Tian Yu to arrive.
