"Whoosh"

More than a dozen sharp arrows suddenly shot from an unknown position in front of Han Xiao, and Han Xiao's pupils shrank, but the next moment a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, but the mark on his right hand was never unraveled.

These dozen or so sharp arrows flew directly past Han Xiao and flew towards the pursuers behind.

The cavalry of the Fourth Army was completely blinded by this wave of arrows, and several cavalrymen were immediately shot off their horses, and several of their horses were already incapacitated.

Before Luo Zhisheng could shout angrily, the second wave of arrow rain had already been pursued, and the Fourth Army was forced to raise a shield to defend.

By the time the four arrow rains were over, there was no longer Han Xiao's figure in sight, and the archery shooter seemed to have never appeared, without the slightest trace.

Luo Zhisheng's face was gloomy, and he continued to lead people to hunt down, but he also knew that although it was only for a moment, he was afraid that he would never be able to keep up with the people in front of him, because the front had already reached the southern mountain range, and it was still easy to hide a master.

Just when Zhang Xuanzong was also thinking on the city wall, the figure of a middle-aged tailor on one side of the city wall flashed away.

Luo Zhisheng, who entered the dense forest, soon found the war horse galloping alone, but he completely lost the trace of the man.

And Han Xiao, after abandoning the horse, still maintained the fastest speed, squeezing what little strength he had left, if he couldn't completely get rid of the other party, his own fate would still not change.

Fortunately, Tantra was blessed with hidden traces, and it didn't take long for Han Xiaojiu to feel that there was someone behind him.

Dragging his tired body, Han Xiao limped into the distance, he didn't even know where his direction was, and the arrow inserted in his left leg was powerless to break, and when he lost his pursuers, Han Xiao also lost most of his strength, and the whole person had completely collapsed.

Just walking, Han Xiao came to a river, and his only consciousness supported him lying on the river and drinking the river water greedily, but the river water had been dyed red by the blood on his body, mixed with the muddy water stirred up by himself, bitter and fishy.

Suddenly, Han Xiao stopped, God really deliberately couldn't get along with himself.

Perhaps his fast movement could shake off the cavalry without a search dog, but the fierce beast in the dense forest found him for the smell of blood.

Looking at the shadows that gradually appeared behind the trees behind him, one by two, three 。。。。。。

Han Xiao smiled bitterly, turned over directly into the river, and the technique of breathing was unfolded, and then he passed out.

"Bastard!" In the military tent in the West Battalion, Xiao Ming rarely lost the demeanor of the eldest prince, but the demeanor of Lord Xiao, who was not from a high background, was still the same at the moment.

"Commander Luo, you go back and rest first, it's hard this time. Lord Xiao said to Luo Zhisheng, who came in to restore his life, and there was no blame or punishment.

"Yes, sir. ”

Luo Zhisheng left the big tent, his face was extremely ugly, this time he was defeated, and even the entire Xida Battalion suffered heavy losses, just the rank of deputy commander of the legion lost two, including Xiao Ming's adjutant of the Sixth Army of the New Army, not to mention that there were nearly 100 soldiers who defected, which was also a great shame for the Xida Battalion.

Commander Luo didn't care about the reputation of the West Battalion, but the Fourth Army's Boundless Iron Cavalry had lost face this time, which he couldn't accept.

"Ming'er, you go back and purge the new army, this matter is over. ”

"Father, how can this be. ”

Lord Xiao's eyes narrowed slightly: "Nothing is impossible, you have to figure out what is the big deal, the top priority is to let the Sixth Army quickly build up combat strength, not to spend energy chasing an assassin, not to mention that we can't hunt it down now." ”

Looking at his son's clenched fist, Lord Xiao said again: "You are a general who leads the troops, not a martial artist, figure out your position, don't let me down!"

Xiao Ming took a deep breath, and then clasped his fist to the main seat: "This time, Zhang Xuanzong's old guy interfered so much, it shouldn't be that he sent it, right?"

"No, he doesn't have to do this. Moreover, Zhang Xuanzong shouldn't have known about this matter at first, but I want to ask you if you have offended anyone recently. ”

"No, I've been in the army recently, and I haven't had any contact with the powerful people in the Southern Regions, and I haven't been in the army. ”

The Xiao family and his son lowered their heads and pondered for a while, and suddenly Xiao Ming said, "Could it be that Zhang Xuanzong's list was caused some time ago?"

Lord Xiao shook his head and signaled that he didn't know, but he also felt that there was a possibility, so many generals died at one time, and it was difficult to guarantee that some people would have dead soldiers around them.

"Father, do you want the relatives of the generals who are dealing with it?" Xiao Ming said, gesturing around his neck.

"Don't act rashly, investigate first, deal with anything suspicious, the impact of the last incident on us is too great, there can be no similar things again, remember that your hands and feet must be clean. ”

"Good. After speaking, Xiao Ming left the big tent.

In the Southern Regions Governor's Mansion.

"My lord, was you the last person to make the move?" Qiu Zhen was the first to break the silence and ask his own questions.

"No, I don't know who came to my aid, but I have a more likely suspicion. ”

"Who do you suspect, sir?"

"There's no evidence for this, it's just some speculation, so I won't talk about it. After such a show, the people you arrange to enter the West Camp should be extra careful, and the Xiao family will probably thoroughly investigate the identity of the personnel. ”

Qiu Zhen frowned: "This matter, the subordinates have already ordered it to go down, stop arranging people to go in, and don't make any moves if you have already gone in, everything will be said after this period of limelight." ”

Zhang Xuanzong nodded, Qiu Zhen was still as relieved as always.

"My lord, there is one more thing, how do you think Lao Zhang's nearly 100 henchmen will be arranged?"

"You can decide this matter yourself, there is no need to report it to me. Zhang Xuanzong waved his hand directly, signaling that there was no need to mention it again.

Qiu Zhen saw that the town governor had nothing to say, so he got up and arched his hand, and then retreated silently.

In an unknown river in the southern mountains, a figure rises and falls in the water, and thus floats into the territory of Si Province.

"Miss, it's getting late, let's go back?" said a little girl with a medicine basket on her back to the woman in a yellow shirt in front of her.

The woman stopped, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and then said to an old servant on the other side, "Uncle Liu, it seems that there is still a herb that has not been found, right?"

"Yes, it's just that the old slave doesn't think it's necessary to find it today, Miss, I think Qing'er, this girl is right, we should go back." The wrinkled old servant bowed to the woman.

The woman didn't insist, turned to the two of them, smiled, and said, "Okay, I'll go to the river in front to wash my face, and then we'll go back." ”

The girl and the old servant just stopped where they were, one resting with their eyes closed, and the other sorting out the herbs in the medicine basket.

"Ahh

A woman's scream came, and the eyes of the old servant, who had closed his eyes, opened suddenly, and then ran quickly to the river, not at all like a man on the verge of death.

"Miss, what's wrong with you?" Uncle Liu asked when he arrived at the river and found no wild beasts or thieves.

"Uncle Liu, do you see that there is a person on the other side of the river?" said the woman in the yellow shirt, pointing to Uncle Liu, who was rushing to the opposite side.

Uncle Liu fixed his eyes, and there was indeed a person there, the coarse cloth clothes on his body were already in tatters, and his bare skin was terrifyingly white, and even with Uncle Liu's eyesight, he could see the arrow wounds on that person.

"Miss, the man is dead, so let's leave it alone. ”

"No, I'm going to take a look, if I don't die, I can't die without help. ”

Uncle Liu had no choice but to accompany his young lady across the already shallow river.

The woman in the yellow shirt groped around Han Xiao's body, her whole body was completely cold, she didn't feel her breathing, and even her heartbeat was gone, the woman sighed and turned around to leave.

Just as Uncle Liu also turned around and walked back, the sound of a heartbeat reached his ears, and Uncle Liu's footsteps paused, and then immediately returned to normal.

Although Uncle Liu covered it up very well, the woman in the yellow shirt was obviously very sharp, she didn't have Uncle Liu's cultivation, she was just an ordinary person, and she couldn't hear the beating sound of her heart, but she knew Uncle Liu, and she realized that something was wrong from the meal he just had.

"Uncle Liu, what did you find, right?"

"No, miss, you're thinking too much, let's go back quickly, it's getting late." ”

The yellow-shirted woman ignored him, but walked back to Han Xiao's side, her hand kept on Han Xiaoice's cold pulse, and after a while, a clear and incomparably clear vibration came.

"Bring the people back, quick!"
