It was nightfall, there was no light in the tent, and there was silence all around. Fifteen black veiled figures emerged from the bushes on the edge of the meadow and crept into the big sheepfold at the back of the tent. There are more than a thousand sheep and hundreds of cows in the sheepfold, which is exactly the hiding place of these dark shadows. The leader whistled, and a dozen black shadows divided into two teams, each forming an arc in the east and west, and slowly shrank towards the tent. When they were still about fifty meters away from the tent, eight men stopped and raised their bows and arrows to shoot, and the remaining seven pulled out their sabers and approached the tent. The few men with knives pressed their bodies against the tent and held their breath, quietly listening to the movement inside. After listening for a while, I saw that there was no sound. The leader used a gesture, and each of the seven people used their knives to quietly cut a hole more than one person high. With a wave of his hand, seven people rushed into the tent at the same time, and saw two motionless people, one large and one small, lying in the middle of the tent. A sneer flashed at the corner of the leader's mouth, and he said in Hun language

"It seems to be poisoned, Qi'er Dan, your method is really spiritual."

A big man next to him said

"It's still Huala Qianhu, you teach us well, tell us to outwit, otherwise with the prince's kung fu and archery skills, we will be slaughtered by him before we even arrive."

The leader snorted

"What the first warrior of the Huns, I can't see a stupid leopard with brute strength. Not as swift hunters as wolves with the wisdom of foxes......"

Just said this. Suddenly, the Hun language sounded on the roof of the tent

"You bastards can only be considered lame jackals, and can only eat dead carrion that no one cares for, and want to catch me. You'll have to ask me what I've got! ”

Before the words fell, a large fishing net fell from the sky and trapped all seven people. It was Merton who was talking from the top of the tent. As soon as he closed the net, seven people were crowded like canned sardines. I saw a big fat man fall from the roof again, and it landed on the canned human flesh with a snap, and the seven people who smashed it fainted on the spot. This fat man is none other than Mo Dian. Following Mo Di Mozi also jumped down from the top and whistled outside.

I saw two people coming out of the haystack near the tent on the south side of the sheepfold, officially Moxin and Moheng, and the two people started to shoot the four on the west side. The four on the right, seeing that the matter had been revealed, ran towards the woods from which they had come. Due to the long range, Mo Xin and Mo Heng's bows and arrows were out of reach. At this time, a fierce tiger came out of the forest and stopped the four of them, and it was Mo Han and Mo Da on them. Murdaping shot an arrow, killing one of the Assassins instantly. The other three pulled out their sabers and were just about to fight, but they were pierced by three eagle arrows that fell from the sky from the side and back, and they were fixed on the grass.

Moda looked at Brother Merton, who was archery, and couldn't help but admire in his heart, such a long range can only be shot so accurately by the eldest brother.

The group dragged the Assassins they had shot around the tent. Moxin said

"Everyone should be on guard. If another Assassin were to attack at this time, we might still be hit. Mo Heng, Mo Dian, Mo Da, Mo Han, you each look in one direction. Modi is going to kill me a fire and bring me a bucket of water. My eldest brother and third sister and I went in to interrogate these bastards. ”

After speaking, he followed Merton and Mozi into the tent. Others have their own jobs. After a while, Modi lit the fire and carried a bucket of water into the tent. She noticed that they hadn't spoken, just stared at the Assassins. Mo Xin winked at Merton

"Big brother, just do what we just said. Can? ”

Merton nodded, and poured a ladle of cold water on the Assassins, who were awakened by the cold water. When the seven people saw that they had been arrested, they all glared angrily and gritted their teeth.

Merton looked at them and sneered

"Bring me that beggar pill out."

Merton, Moxin went up and pulled the big man out of the net, tied it up, and dragged it out of the tent like a dead dog.

The remaining six people in the room looked at each other, and Hua La, who took the lead, said

"We all swore in front of our masters before leaving, and if anyone speaks out, be careful of your dog's head."

Before he finished speaking, he heard a howl like a pig outside. Then there was the sound of pan-frying meat, and after a while, the smell of burnt meat wafted in from outside the tent. Several people in the room were stunned, and everyone imagined the tragic situation of Qierdan in their hearts.

Listen to the voice of Moxin outside

"Okay, you said it was Huala, right? Okay, so what's the other guy's name? ”

After three or four seconds, I heard Moxin say again

"Don't say? Okay, then don't talk about it. Big brother, shut his mouth. ”

Then, the sound of a whip snapping on the flesh was heard, and the gagged mouth made a muffled whining. The six people in the room thought that this was too miserable, and they were not allowed to scream after being beaten.

At this moment, Merton's voice came again

"Okay, I don't think there's anything wrong with this. Let's change it, and if we don't say the name next, we'll go up and smash his kidney with a hammer. ”

After a while, Qierdan was pulled in, covered in blood, and his back was torn open, with a large black mark on it, which looked like charred flesh. The smell of blood and burnt flesh pierced the nostrils, making the six of them shudder. Murshin grabbed the other stocky assassin and dragged him out, blindfolded as he went. Waiting out of the tent, Moxin asked

"What are these six called? If you don't say anything, I'll be on the hammer. ”

The Assassin immediately panicked

"Say! I say! It was Hua La, who was defeated, and it was Qierdan, my name is Chaganfu, and Hai Rigu, Gao Jigeri, Xi Ri Goulig, and Maui Sig were the ones who were abolished by you. ”

Mo Xin looked at Chaganfu coldly and asked again

"Who sent you?"

As he spoke, he shook the hammer.

"This ...... This ...... I really can't say, I swore to the gods in the sky, I really can't say. ”

Mo Xin whispered to Merton

"I don't know how much this kid knows about Lu Dao, I guess it's not interesting for us to try these minions, we have to take down that Huala. You'll have to tell me about the origin of this flower. ”

Merton also whispered

"This Hua La, known as the first assassin of the grassland, is good at assassination, and has always been a loner, but this time I don't know what happened to Lu Dao, but he actually brought so many people. In the line of assassins in the grassland, they collect money from people, eliminate disasters for others, and ensure that the task is completed. Now that the task has failed, it should be a secret for the employer. ”

"Oh? So this Huara and the rest of the Assassins are not necessarily in the same group? Big brother, I'll ask you later. ”

After Mo Xin finished speaking, he patted Chaganfu on the shoulder and said

"Boy, you just tell me if these people you are talking about are not in a gang. If you tell the truth, I will spare you. You can also see the methods we use on Qierdan. ”

Chaganv was busy

"Good man, you must be our prince's heartfelt bodyguard. I say it all, I say it all. Qierdan, Hai Rigu, Gao Jigeri, Xi Ri Goulig, Mao Yisig and I are all horse bandits on the Qilian Mountains, and Hua La are two different things. ”

"Well, I'm not going to let your skin suffer. Walk! ”

After saying that, he escorted Chaganfu into the tent. The assassins in the house saw that Chaganfu was not injured at all, and they all felt that these princes' guards were still keeping some credit. Mo Xin lifted the flower horn out, tied it up and gaged it. Pull it until it reaches the edge of the sheepfold before removing the hay that is blocked in your mouth. Before Mo Xin could ask, Hua La spoke first

"Boy, don't bother. If you want to kill, kill it, don't dishonor me. ”

Mo Xin stared at Hua Lama for a while. stepped forward and untied the rope from Hua La's body.

"My eldest brother said that you are the number one assassin of the grassland, and you will not do anything to be ashamed of your employer. Just now you said don't insult your reputation, so isn't it an insult for you to kill my eldest brother? ”

Hua La was shocked by Mo Xin's action, he didn't expect Mo Xin to untie the rope. Moxin continued

"You're trying to keep your Assassin's Creed. However, you are already certain to die from the moment you take on this task. You are the number one assassin of the steppe, and if you kill the Xiongnu prince today, no one with a clear eye will know that you did it. Your employer doesn't want the world to know that Prince Lu Dao died at the hands of the Huns, how can he not kill you? Therefore, your fame has already made you die. Have you ever thought about these people coming together? Just now Chaganfu said your names. And told me that you are not with those horse bandits. Your name is known to everyone in the world, and Chaganfu even told me his own name, do you think he will keep your secret? ”

Seeing Hua La's puzzled face, Mo Xin immediately said the names of the six assassins. Hua La lowered her head, a look of resentment on her face. Mo Xin saw that he was angry, and continued

"The master of the money hired you two groups of people to let you supervise each other, no matter who says it, the one who goes back to tell the whistle will die. Isn't it? ”

Hua La didn't answer, just snorted. Moxin understood. Go on

"These people are simply waiting for you to kill the prince, and then kill you to cut the grass and eradicate the roots!"

Hua La's eyes were a little scattered, not as resolute as just now. Moxin strikes while the iron is hot

"They think it's okay to kill you, and they will definitely kill you and go back. Such a top-secret event as killing the prince, whether it was instructed by the Huns or the enemies of the Huns, is a great secret. To keep a secret is to keep the face of a country. And you have become a victim of face. ”

Hua La's sweat was dripping down by Moxin's words.

"Why should you keep a secret for the sake of a certain death, and for the executioner who killed you? Those who can be assassins are well-known heroes, those who can keep their credibility are even more virtuous heroes, and heroes who can distinguish between right and wrong in black and white are heroes. It's a death anyway, so why not die as a hero now. My eldest brother is the orthodox heir of the Huns, as long as the heroes are willing to follow. His Royal Highness the Prince said that he was not to blame for the past, and asked the heroes to be personal attendants, and one day he would return to the royal court with his eldest brother to be the founder of the country. This is your only way to live. It's up to you to decide what is right and wrong. ”

After speaking, he turned around and waved his hand, signaling that Hua Lama could leave. Hua Lama stayed in the sheepfold and carefully grasped what Mo Xin said, and felt that it made sense. I had long heard that the eldest prince was the first hero of the grassland, and I thought that following the prince was an opportunity for me to be reborn, and from then on he was no longer an assassin but a close minister of the prince, and he could glorify his ancestors. What's more, going back now is definitely a dead end. So he made up his mind, walked up to Merton, and fell to one knee. He swore with his right hand over his heart

"I, Huala, swear to the Almighty Heaven today that my life is the prince's, and I will never have two hearts from now on. All his life, he is willing to follow the prince to calm the world. I am the Prince's arrow, and wherever I am shot, it will pierce the heart. I am the prince's saber, and wherever I am told to go, there will be absolutely one or two cuts. Please take me, prince. ”

Morton had already heard it very clearly, and admired Mo Xin's sharp teeth very much, which actually convinced the first assassin of the grassland. He picked up Hua La's hands and punched Hua La's chest and said

"Not just my personal guard, but my brother. I give you a new name, Elder, which means my sharpest scimitar. Get up. ”

Hua La was flattered, and never dreamed that the prince would call him a brother. Self-reported courageously

"Prince, if you can trust me, let me go and persuade those horse thieves. Although they are horse thieves, they are all melee masters. To tell you the truth, the eight who were just ambushed outside the tent were all sent by the Yan clan to spy on us. Your guards shot them to death, leaving us without surveillance. In addition, our assassination was only a preemptive act. The Yan clan was afraid that we would not succeed in the assassination, so in order to ensure that nothing went wrong, there were 2,000 cavalry to follow behind. What you want is to kill all the people who know your whereabouts in Shouyang Mountain. The team is estimated to arrive the day after tomorrow, so you have to prepare early. ”

After saying that, he went into the tent and persuaded the horse thieves to go.

Merton and the others were shocked, two thousand cavalry! Don't set foot on Shouyang Mountain yet. Everyone quickly gathered together to discuss countermeasures. Mo Xin felt that this matter was important, and he had to tell the master and ask him to decide.

After a while, Iled (scimitar) persuaded the six thieves of Qilian Mountain to become Merton's personal bodyguards together. Merton was given the names Selemo (sword), Mengendulak (silver helmet), Jeddah (spear), Sukh (axe), Terige (carriage), and Hatu hard (strong).

The seven men followed Merton and they into Shouyang Mountain.
