The weather outside is still a little cold, the cold on the Gobi Desert is not like the south, the wind here blows directly through the clothes to the people, especially the wind at night, it is more like a needle tip to freeze people.

Liu Hu wrapped the cotton clothes on his body, shrunk his face into the collar, and turned his two bright eyes to observe the situation outside, only one place was left for the bonfire to be extinguished, and the other soldiers who were keeping vigil fell to the side, and the clothes on their bodies were all turned over as if they were messy and loose, except for the eldest man who was squatting on the side and muttering something in his mouth, his hands were neatly picking up the belongings that had been turned out of the bodies of these unconscious soldiers, and all of them were put into the baggage he was carrying, and there were two bricks and tiles at his feet, The knocking sound that Liu Hu heard just now was from here.

"It's all over?" Liu Hu lowered his voice and squatted beside the big head.

"It's over, you go and solve our task, I prepared two horses, tied them to the outside of the camp, and when I finished my work, I came directly to meet me, let's go all the way back, no one will find out." The big head smiled, swept a jade pendant in his hand, and half of his face was hidden in the darkness and smiled.

He has been honest and honest in front of people for all these years in the army, although he has some hobbies, it is harmless, so that no one will doubt who he is in the eyes of the army, after all, who will find a nobody to do things for him, and directly find a weighty officer is not more able to control the whole army.

But what no one can imagine is that the more nameless it is to dissolve into the public, do some secret things so that no one will find out. Just like a few years ago, he once received an order to assassinate an officer who was contrary to the interests of his master, and no one suspected him, but all the other officers who had intersections with that officer were investigated to the bottom, and the people sent from above did not find any clues, and now it is only a headless case.

The big head tightened the burden in his hand, took off the scimitar from his waist and handed it to Liu Hu, this knife was originally used to cut meat and eat, but now the blade of the knife was polished by him, and the cold light was shining, and this knife would silently cut the throat of a sleeping person in the tent tonight.

"Remember, be quick, the soldiers who change shifts after half an hour will be discovered as soon as they come, and they won't be able to escape when the time comes." The big head gave one last word of advice, and then turned to the horse he had hidden.

Liu Hu took the heavy waist knife, closed his eyes, seemed to have made up his mind, and finally turned around and walked back to Fang Cai's tent along the same road, where the drunken Fang Cannon and Vice General Cao were sleeping.

As soon as he entered the tent, Liu Hu's heart and pupils shrank at the same time, and Fang Cannon was still lying in place, his posture had not changed, but Deputy General Cao beside him was gone!

In an instant, many thoughts flashed through Liu Hu's mind, Vice General Cao got up at night to go to the toilet? Or did you find out about your own actions? Shaking his head, he clenched the knife in his hand, not ready to think too much about things, for now, he still killed this cannon, and then ran away, the money given by the one above was enough for him to live a worry-free life for a lifetime, fight!

The knife was just about to touch the neck of the cannon above, and suddenly a small pebble flew out of the darkness behind the door, and hit Liu Hu's hand holding the knife, and the waist knife flew out with a "whoosh", and stuck it on the ground, his tiger's mouth was torn because of too much strength, and blood gushed out, and the square cannon that was sleeping peacefully with his eyes closed rose up at the same time, and while Liu Hu did not have a spare knee against his waist, he twisted Liu Hu's arms to the back, and tied a knot with the hemp rope in his hand, and he could no longer move.

Liu Hu woke up suddenly, just now when he was outside and the big head joint, he was paying attention to the movement of the tent, no one came out of the tent, since Vice General Cao was not asleep in the original position, it was naturally hiding in the tent, but he was in a hurry, but he didn't expect this layer.

Fang Dacang's movements were just a breath between breaths, crisp and neat, Vice General Cao walked out from behind the door, his expression was solemn and about to drip water, he looked down at Liu Hu who was forced to kneel on the ground, and reprimanded: "Sure enough, it's you!" Anyway, who sent you, why did you kill the cannon, explain it clearly, maybe spare your life! ”

Liu Hu only felt the pain in his hands, and even the scars on his face twitched, and he said in a trembling voice: "You... Didn't you fall asleep after drinking, how could you still be awake! He was full of disbelief, the wine brought by the big head was full of tranquilizers, people can't wake up for a while and a half after sleeping, even if a cow drinks this medicine, they have to sleep for a day and a night, how can they still have the strength?

"It's a big taboo to drink alcohol in the army, and since you're a soldier for the first time, didn't the big head tell you?" Vice General Cao glanced at him: "The wine of the two of us has already been poured, and we have taken antidote pills, otherwise we wouldn't have seen the scene of your collusion!" ”

"It's... Who said I was going to hurt you! What about the evidence? I'm going to ask you why you tied me up and wounded me when I was sleeping! Liu Hu saw that the plan was no longer successful, so he turned his head and gave up the big head who was still waiting for him outside, anyway, Deputy General Cao and Fang Cannon couldn't come up with evidence, it was better to let the big head take the blame alone, even if he was expelled from the barracks in the future, it would be better than being dealt with by military law and losing his life.

"Evidence? The evidence is the waist knife stained with your blood, this knife must have been given to you by the big head, you want to shift the blame to him, but you don't know that he has already taken precautions, you can see clearly, this waist knife is not the original style, this kind of scimitar is only available to the barbarians in the Western Regions, you say you are not harmful, then you are a spy sent by the enemy? Vice General Cao picked up the waist knife, threw it in front of Liu Hu, and reprimanded angrily.

Liu Hu was also stunned, he obviously saw the knife that the big head untied from his waist with his own eyes, could it be that the big head really kept a hand, in case of the East Window incident, he was so alone? Thinking of this, he felt a burst of regret in his heart, he had known that he would not go to this troubled water, but now where can he regret it again, he has no way to go, so he has to take one step at a time.

Seeing that Liu Hu had nothing to say, Vice General Cao snorted coldly, took off the small horn on his body and blew a few rhythmically according to the rules, and before the horn stopped, footsteps sounded in various tents outside at the same time, and all the soldiers hurriedly got up and ran towards Vice General Cao's tent no matter where they were.

Vice General Cao used a special horn made in the army, which was small, light and easy to carry, although it was not as majestic as in front of the army, but it was enough on weekdays. This horn blows with different rhythms and melodies, only the soldiers in the army can understand, as long as they hear such an order, no matter what they are doing, they must obey the order, just now Adjutant General Cao played the melody of the assembly, and the soldiers quickly gathered around and surrounded the tent of Adjutant General Cao tightly.

The fainting night vigil soldiers next to the bonfire outside were also discovered at the first time, and immediately a soldier went up to take care of them, and sent someone in to report: "Deputy General Cao, it's not good, our brothers who are on the night vigil have been fed drugs and dizzy, and the big head is also missing, do you want to send someone to find it?" ”

Vice General Cao was a little colder when he heard the name of the big head, shook his head and said, "He doesn't need us to look for him!" Pass my order, the soldier Liu Hu and the big head rebelled, intending to harm the general, and now I and Fang Cannon arrested Liu Hu, immediately sent a team of soldiers around to find the big head, captured alive, if he resisted, he can be killed on the spot first! ”

Vice General Cao didn't say much, and didn't say that Liu Hu's target was actually Fang Cannon, this was to protect Fang Cannon, after all, no one in the army knew the details of Fang Cannon, and he didn't know that he was the king's person, if this matter was to assassinate Fang Cannon, no one would believe it or not, and it would cause trouble for Fang Cannon.

The soldier also knew that the matter was not small, so he immediately took people and rode out to find someone, and the others only stayed outside and did not come in, Liu Hu was sweating profusely, his eyes were wandering, and he stared at Fang Cannon and didn't know what he was thinking.

"Anyway, there are no outsiders now, who sent you, who ordered you to assassinate the cannon, and how did you get involved with that big head!" Vice General Cao pulled the cushion and sat down with the cannon, and immediately began to interrogate Liu Hu.

Liu Hu already knew that the big head was unreliable, so he didn't argue anything, and said, "I... He told me that he was the steward of the nobles in the capital, and if I was willing to help him do things, he would ensure that I and my family would be prosperous and rich for the rest of my life, and if I refused, he would call the officers and soldiers to let me sit in prison for the rest of my life, and I was very afraid, so I had to listen to them and join the army with their forged identities. ”

Speaking of this, Liu Hu glanced up at Fang Cannon, Fang Dacang was yawning calmly, as if the case had nothing to do with him, Liu Hu continued: "After I joined the army, the housekeeper brought news, asking me to have a good relationship with Fang Cannon, and then find a suitable opportunity to kill Fang Cannon, and his people will rescue me and give me a new identity to live in the capital." ”

"And how did you get the news in the army?"

"It's... The day after I came to the army, the big man found me, and secretly told me the code, my news was relayed to me by him, and tonight's method was also what he thought, and this knife was also handed over to me by the big head, but I didn't know that this was a barbarian weapon! Liu Hu left two lines of turbid tears in the corners of his eyes, as if he hated being calculated by the big head.

"Cannon, what do you think?" Vice Admiral Cao asked sideways.

"I've guessed the mastermind behind the scenes, there is only one nobleman in the capital who has had a grudge against me, and it's not strange to know my whereabouts, but I'm still curious, I heard what you said that the big head has been in the army for many years, and it's not easy to bury the nail so deeply, my enemy has a bad brain, he can't think about it so long-term, and the big head has a barbarian saber... Do you say it will..."Fang Cannon didn't finish speaking, but handed Vice General Cao a look.
