Chapter Twenty-Six: Extermination
"What's going on?"
The anger of the sun was undisguised, because of a corpse in front of him.
Kill!
was about to act, and Luo Wang was ready to ambush the envoys of Zhao State, but at a critical time, there was an accident in the killing.
As a first-class assassin, Qianshou has always been trusted by the sun. He is also the person in charge of liaising with all the Assassins in Jicheng.
"Lord Occult Sun, Qianxuan and two prefecture-level swordsmen have been monitoring the envoys of the Zhao State. But they didn't go to the agreed place to meet us at the appointed time. After that, we searched for three days before we found the corpse of the dry kill in the outskirts of Jicheng. ”
"Suburbs, is it Yan Jun's move?"
Occult muttered, but then got a negative answer.
"Lord Occult Sun, we have seen traces of the White Tiger nearby."
"The Mo family?"
I don't understand why the Mo family is involved?
Was it a well-prepared assassination, or was it just an accident?
He walked up and saw the wounds on his body.
Heaven and earth are desperate, except for a few assassins in the net, the vast majority of them are from the bottom up, step by step.
The wounds on the body of Qianzhi are the best proof of this.
It was in the death row of Wei that he survived the killing. But at this moment, the fatal wound on his body was as if he was grinning at the net.
Because, at all, this is not a wound that a man with a sword can inflict.
"What the hell is going on?"
The net has always been hidden in the shadows, watching the world. And now, it feels as if there is another force, buried deeper than the net, observing the net in the dark.
It's a bad feeling!
But in any case, the task of assassinating Zhao Envoy cannot be changed.
"How's it going?"
The most important thing in an assassination is often not the sharpness of the sword in hand, but the intelligence. However, intelligence is time-sensitive, so commanding an assassin regiment must always grasp the balance of power between friend and foe.
"The envoys of the Zhao State only have a dozen retinues around them, and the guards are all soldiers of the Yan State. However, Zhao's Lian Yunfei cavalry was stationed in a Yan army camp fifty miles outside Jicheng. ”
"How so?"
There was some surprise in covering the sun, how could Yan Guo let Zhao Guo's elite cavalry be stationed near Yan Guo's national capital? Moreover, he didn't even notice it beforehand.
"I heard that it was the prince of Yan Guo who suggested it. At this moment, the army of Zhao State had withdrawn from the territory of Yan State. Within the Great Wall of Yan Kingdom, north of Yishui, there was no shadow of Zhao Jun in sight. However, two days ago, Yan Dan suddenly suggested to King Yan that this Zhao cavalry should be allowed to come to meet the Zhao envoy. Because this Zhao cavalry is only a few hundred, and it will not pose any danger to the Yan Kingdom, for the sake of peace talks, the King of Yan agreed. ”
"Yan Dan?"
Occult Sun muttered, if this idea came from Yan Dan, there was nothing to care about.
"In terms of numbers, the elite armor of the world's soldiers, this Lian Yun Flying Cavalry can also be ranked in the top ten. Although there are only a few hundred horsemen left, Xuan Jian almost died in their hands that day, which should not be underestimated. ”
The Assassin of the Nets presented the map in front of the Occult Sun, which had already marked the location of Lian Yunfei's cavalry.
"In the land of Yan Zhao, all the swordsmen above the prefecture level have gathered here. We must kill the envoys of Zhao before they can make peace with Lian Yunfei. The best place to do it is 20 miles away on the slope of Tiger Hill. ”
Assassination is not the same as combat, it is not simply the destruction of the enemy. If outsiders see the traces of the net and know that Zhao Envoy died in their hands, then all this will be meaningless.
"And, it has to be done cleanly, and we don't have much time left."
The assassin in the net was stunned for a moment, and this face was reflected in the eyes of the sun.
"What's wrong?"
"Lord Occult Sun, the corpse of the dry killing was found near the Tiger Hill Slope."
"What did you say!"
The heart of the sun suddenly burst out, and an unprecedented vigilance suddenly appeared in his heart.
There are only two possibilities.
There is a man, or a force, who counts the snare or all his actions.
No!
Occult Sun is unwilling to admit this possibility, or rather, unwilling to bear the feeling of being teased.
Then there is only the second possibility.
It's a coincidence.
But one coincidence, another coincidence, all the coincidences are linked, and things are no longer simple.
Occult grinned and smiled slightly.
"Maybe there's another possibility."
"Lord Occultus!"
"If the Mo family really joined forces with Zhao Jun and killed Qian, then this mission must be re-evaluated."
The information of the net, the giant son of the Mo family, Six Fingers, has recently appeared in Yan Kingdom, and his whereabouts are uncertain, I don't know why?
This is also a place where the sun is hidden.
"Stop the action for the time being, you guys are here to standby, I'm going to go to Tiger Hill Slope first."
.......
"Is this the stronghold of the net?"
Yan Dan's eyes were solemn, and he looked to the side, his uncle Yan Chunjun.
Just two days ago, he suddenly ran over to say that the assassin of the net was intended to be unfavorable to the envoy of the Zhao State, and brought the body of a swordsman of the net, and proposed to let Lian Yunfei ride to meet him.
A few hours ago, Yan Chunjun came to tell him that he had found the stronghold of the net and asked him to send troops to exterminate it.
The entire Yan Kingdom is now focusing on peace talks, and King Yan quickly agreed to Yan Dan's request.
Yan Dan knew very well what Luo Wang wanted to do, and he had always regarded the Qin State as a big trouble.
Once the state of Zhao was destroyed by the state of Qin, then the state of Yan would be exposed to the front of the Qin army.
Before the Battle of Changping, the national strength of Qin and Zhao was relatively balanced, so it was not too much of a problem for Yan to remain neutral and even join Qin to resist Zhao in a timely manner.
But now, Qin and Zhao are already obviously one strong and one weak, and the comparison of strength is becoming more and more disparity. But his father, the king, still adheres to the old strategy of joining Qin to resist Zhao, which is too unwise and even stupid. How can the interests of several cities be compared to the survival of the Yan Kingdom?
If it weren't for this defeat, King Yan would not be so honest.
But what really surprised Yan Dan was that Yan Chunjun had always supported the alliance Qin State in the Yan Dynasty.
Why is it unusual this time?
And, how did he know that the Net's stronghold was here?
The matter was urgent, and there was no time to understand all this, so Yan Dan led the guards of the Prince's Mansion and the garrison of the first battalion of Jicheng to rush over.
"How?"
When the army marches and fights, and the food and grass are not carried out, scouts are sent first.
A young man galloped up and bowed his hand.
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, this is indeed the stronghold of the net."
"Sledgehammer, well done!"
The big hammer was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect that the crown prince of the Yan Kingdom would remember his name.
"How will Your Highness know my name?"
"The elite of my Yan army has made great achievements, how can I, as the crown prince, not know?"
"Alright, alright, get out of here and go and do your own thing."
The sledgehammer was very moved, but Yan Chunjun obviously didn't have the patience, waved away the sledgehammer and looked at Yan Dan.
The other man nodded and raised his hand.
Behind him, a thousand bows were ready to fire, and twenty giant crossbows were ready to be drawn.
Under Yan Dan's order, the crossbow arrows flew like locusts and flew to the stronghold of the net.
