The spring rain fell, crackling, and hitting the camp.

The sun and dusk are slanting, and the evening breeze carries the spring mood, and the slightest trace penetrates into the tent. It was cold in the mountains, and there was a brazier burning in the camp tent, but Cai Yun's heart was a little anxious.

Cai Tong expelled him from Yingcheng in front of the officials of the Chu State, and asked him to take 3,000 soldiers and horses to exterminate the bandits.

The bandits were different from the Chu army, they had no armaments, no supplies, and low combat effectiveness, but they were highly mobile.

Cai Yun had always thought so before, but these days, the experience of exterminating bandits in the mountains has completely changed his cognition.

There are only a few hundred of these bandits, but they are very powerful. They never fought Cai Yun head-on, but they attacked from time to time.

They took Cai Yun around the mountains several times, which made the Chu army impetuous.

The most important thing is that Cai Tong said that if he does not exterminate this group of bandits, he will not let Cai Yun return to the city. Now, Yingcheng is looking at him as a son and looking at his results.

The Zhichong army increased its troops and returned to its hometown, but most of the troops of the Chu State were transferred to Xiangcheng to deal with the Liang army. Yingcheng was empty, and Yun Qu responded to Cai Tong's order and stationed outside Yingcheng with an army of 30,000 to guard against the Shu army.

This news made Cai Yun even more anxious. Cai Ji is inside, Yun Qu is outside, and the consequences of these two brothers and sisters joining forces are unimaginable. Cai Yun wanted to return to Yingcheng as soon as possible, but his footsteps were restrained by this group of bandits and he couldn't get out.

"Someone!"

Cai Yun shouted and approached a soldier from outside the tent.

"Childe, what do you command?"

"Are the spies sent out at noon back?"

"Not yet."

"Got it, let's go down!"

Cai Yun's expression was a little surprised. The military and political affairs of Chu were all controlled by Cai Tong, and although Cai Yun couldn't intervene, he also took charge of the army and fought battles.

After all, being born in troubled times and learning to march and fight is a compulsory course for the sons of a country.

Although Cai Yun's marching combat is not outstanding, and he is not a first-class general, he can barely squeeze into the second rate, and he is considered a strong general.

But these days fighting against this bandit, Cai Yun also felt that this group of bandits was not simple.

They are not greedy for money, they are not afraid of death, and they are flexible in combat, there are only a few hundred people, but they stubbornly play Cai Yun as a fool, and it seems that they intend to contain him here.

What the hell is going on?

Cai Yun had a strong doubt in his heart that he couldn't solve, so that he didn't eat the food sent by his subordinates. After walking around the tent for a long time, I don't know how much time had passed, I suddenly felt hungry, and then I remembered that I hadn't eaten yet.

"Someone!"

Cai Yun wanted the soldiers to heat up the food, but no one came in.

"What's going on?"

Cai Yun walked to the door of the tent, and just lifted a kick, but he smelled a strong smell of blood, and a huge sense of crisis hit his heart.

When he stood up again, he saw three bolts piercing the door of the tent.

The whirring wind carried the water vapor into the tent, Cai Yun pulled out the sword at his waist, and eagerly, stirred up the brazier.

The flames burned the tent, but because of the spring rains, the fire was a little sluggish.

Cai Yun never believed that the assassins could kill all the 3,000 soldiers in the camp, as long as the people outside the tent noticed the abnormality, they would be able to rush over.

"Cai Yun burned the camp tent, what should I do?"

"Even if he doesn't burn, we don't have much time, at most, the patrolling soldiers will come and kill him."

The assassins' words did not hide their murderous intent at all, and they quickly rushed in.

Cai Yun tightened his sword and looked at the three assassins who had stormed the camp.

"By whom do you command?"

Cai Yun was greeted not by an answer, but by the assassin's cold blade.

The seal text rhymes, surrounds the body, and the dagger stabs at it, with a strong coercion.

True Spirit?

The strength of these three assassins was beyond Cai Yun's expectations, and he swung his sword to resist, barely coping with the same technique. In the tent, I saw golden light splashing everywhere, and the spirit burst out.

Soon, the half-burned tent shattered, and Cai Yun was also hit with a dagger when he resisted.

Cai Yun was not wearing armor, the dagger cut through the skin, blood was dripping, the wound was washed by the rain, and after experiencing the initial sting, it was a little numb.

Cai Yun has lived for so many years, and he has never fallen into such a situation and felt so threatened. The rain was dripping, and his vision was a little blurry, but the feeling in his chest was getting clearer and clearer.

The surrounding soldiers noticed the strange situation and rushed to this place, but they were stopped and killed by the Assassins who had already been hiding near the main tent.

This group of assassins has a clear division of labor, and as it is exposed, the three assassins around Cai Yun are also more and more urgent.

Cai Yun stumbled left and right, gradually losing the enemy, and added a few more wounds to his body. Cai Yun also practiced in the Shenxiao Sect for a period of time when he was young, and these three assassins also inherited the lineage of art.

Cai Yun's cultivation was higher than any of the three assassins, but in terms of actual combat, he was far inferior to them

The dagger stabbed, and Cai Yun could clearly see the splash on it. He tried to dodge, only to find two other Assassins coming from both sides.

Oops!

Cai Yun's pupils contracted suddenly, and his heart swelled to a critical point, as if it was about to burst.

But in the next moment, what was waiting for Cai Yun was not death, but a dark shadow guarding ahead.

Cai Yun looked at the figure that suddenly appeared and the three assassins who flew to the ground in surprise. At the moment just now, Cai Yun could see it clearly, the person in front of him first burst into the formation, grabbed the hand of the assassin who was attacking him head-on, and with a slight pinch, it was shattered.

Then he threw a left punch and a right kick to break through their defenses and kick the two Assassins on the flanks into the air.

This series of actions was only in a moment. And the monk who can have this kind of strength is undoubtedly a great master.

"Who are you?"

"In Xia Fan Yue, I was ordered by the lord to come to protect the son."

"Father?" Cai Yun was obviously a little surprised, "What's going on?" ”

The nearby soldiers killed the ambushed assassins and rushed to Cai Yun's surroundings. I saw Fan Yue take out a gilded token, and a group of Chu soldiers fell to the ground one after another.

"On the orders of the lord, you will protect the prince and return to Yingcheng immediately."

"Subordinates take orders!"

"Excuse me?" At this point, Cai Yun seemed to understand a little that all this was a strategy set up by Cai Yun, "Could it be that the bandits are too?" ”

"Childe guessed right, the bandits in the mountains are a group of soldiers and horses hidden by the lord. In order to prevent the Yun clan, it is also to deal with the Shu army at a critical time. At this moment, their leader, General Wei He, had already received the lord's talisman and went to Xiling County to transfer troops. ”

"There are only 10,000 soldiers and horses in Xiling County, is it enough to deal with the Yun Clan's 30,000 army?"

Cai Yun asked with some concern.

"Don't worry, the lord can handle it."

Fan Yue arched his hand.
