Chapter 49: The Murderous Knife (2)
Just when Han Baixing was asleep, one of the barracks in the guard camp was brightly lit, and Wang Man was pacing back and forth anxiously, as if something difficult to decide was fighting in his heart.
In addition to him, there was also a person dressed as a soldier in the room, who was Wang Man's confidant Chang Le.
Seeing that Wang Man hesitated, Chang Le couldn't help but speak: "My lord, that Xu Rui has already had a different heart, and tomorrow's appointment is probably not good for you, so don't go." ”
Wang Man stopped and shook his head.
"No, Xu Rui is right, then Han Baixing is a mad dog, and now he will not let go if he is eyeing Xu Rui, and once Xu Rui loses, I will definitely be exposed.
In fact, life and death are small, the key is that Beiwuwei is about to break away from the control of the prince, and once we are exposed, we will lose the last chance to turn the tide of the battle, which is what I am most worried about. ”
Chang Le hesitated for a moment and said, "My lord, otherwise, gather the brothers lurking everywhere, go to the agreed place to ambush first, and strike first once there is a change!" ”
Wang Man shook his head: "No, Xu Rui's dark chess was originally intended to be lurking for a long time, but I made meritorious contributions to enable him without authorization, only you know about this matter, if you gather everyone, it will be spread, and the prince will definitely not let me go at that time."
Besides, if it was really a trap set by Xu Rui, wouldn't we be able to gather everyone and be wiped out by him? This is absolutely unacceptable, let me think about it again. ”
"Hey, this doesn't work, that doesn't work, I was a little strange before, Xu Rui is timid and afraid, and he is extremely imthoughtful, why would the prince let him lurk for a long time, and the level of secrecy is still so high?
Now I found out that this person's scheming is so deep, not only good at disguise, but also incessant, it is really difficult, and the prince is indeed very human. ”
Hearing this, Wang Man also sighed: "Hey, how can others guess the prince's thoughts?" At the beginning, I also thought that Xu Rui's child would not be a big deal, so I relaxed my vigilance and let greed do the trick.
Who knew that this kid pretended to be a pig and ate a tiger, grabbed my handle and took the opportunity to make trouble, got out of my control in one fell swoop, and caused such a big mess.
But I still can't tell him what he wants to do, from Yishui to Lingdong, he has repeatedly performed miraculous feats, and he has played the bell to turn the army around, which is completely like his heart is in the Northern Dynasty. ”
"Could it be that he wants to betray Dark Chess?"
Chang Le asked.
Wang Man hesitated and shook his head: "It shouldn't be, first, Yang Weiyuan's wife and children are very cruel to him, he has always hated him, vowing to punish him quickly, and once he returns to the Northern Dynasty, he will have no chance to take revenge."
Second, dark chess is all over the world, once you defect, you will be hunted down with all your might, although the world is big, there is no place for it, I have never heard of a traitor who died well, Xu Rui is very smart, it is impossible not to know the power of this. ”
"So what is he having?"
Wang Man sighed: "The only possibility I can think of is that he wants to take the opportunity to show his talents to the prince, so that the prince will look at him differently and promote him to soar." ”
"What? How could he be so bold and reckless? ”
Chang Le exclaimed, unable to believe it.
Wang Man shook his head: "It's all my guess, I can't do it accurately, the top priority now is to make an appointment tomorrow." ”
Chang Le also knew that tomorrow was the focus, but he couldn't think of a way to get the best of both worlds, and he couldn't help but feel a little melancholy.
Wang Man pondered for a moment, suddenly turned his heart sideways, gritted his teeth and said: "That's it, tomorrow's appointment is very important, I have to go anyway, so let's do it, from tonight onwards, you will send someone to keep an eye on Xu Rui, and I will go to the agreed place in advance to investigate the situation, if he moves a little, I will not show up." ”
Chang Le was surprised: "My lord, this is too risky, in case it ......"
Wang Man waved his hand, interrupting Chang Le's words.
"It doesn't matter, as long as I don't fall into an ambush, if I want to leave with my skills, no one in the Beiwu Guard can stop me."
Chang Le was silent, he knew that Wang Manshi was famous and had great confidence in Wang Man's martial arts, but for some reason he was uneasy, but he couldn't think of a better way to continue to persuade him.
In the inn, Sangou and Xu Fang waited outside the door of Xu Rui's room for a while after eating, and Xu Fang also knocked on the door several times in the middle, but did not get any response, if it wasn't for the oil lamp that printed Xu Rui's shadow on the door, they would all suspect that Xu Rui was not in the room.
Seeing that it was about to be time for Beiwuwei to turn off the lights and fall asleep, Sangou couldn't wait any longer, so he had to sigh and say to Xu Fang: "It seems that Brother Rui is still busy today, I'll come back early tomorrow morning." ”
Xu Fang nodded, a trace of distress flashed in his eyes, and said, "These few days have hit the young master too hard, so let him rest for one night, and I'll send you down." ”
Sangou waved his hand again and again: "No, no, you take care of Brother Rui, I'll go back by myself." ”
said that he didn't wait for Xu Fang's reaction, and hurriedly ran down the stairs, Xu Fang looked at his back and sighed, and then stopped sending each other.
As soon as Sangou walked out of the inn, the cold wind and snow immediately hit his face, he hurriedly wrapped his clothes tightly, let out a breath of white air, slammed his hands hard, and slowly walked towards the forward camp.
It was late, it was a bad snowy day, and the long street was empty, only the three dogs hurried alone.
After walking a few steps, he suddenly saw a vague figure appear in the wind and snow, and his heart suddenly became vigilant.
The figure loomed in the night, one moment it was still far away, and the next moment it was already a lot closer, as if it was flying and cruising in the wind and snow.
Sangou was shocked, and hurriedly reached out to touch the waist knife.
But before he could grasp the hilt of the knife, the figure had already appeared beside him.
Sangou looked at it, and it turned out to be an eighteen or nineteen-year-old beautiful woman dressed in black, the woman was slender, heroic, and exuded an inexplicable coldness between her eyebrows.
She rolled her eyes slightly, and immediately saw Sangou from head to foot, Sangou only felt like she was naked, and she was seen cleanly.
"Mom, didn't you meet a female ghost?!"
Sangou was horrified in his heart, his body trembled, and he stood on the spot.
The woman frowned slightly and asked, "You are the three dogs?" ”
The voice was cold to the marrow, and it seemed to have no emotion.
Sangou nodded dumbly, forgetting to draw his knife again.
The woman frowned, as if the cold meaning also dissipated a little, Sangou subconsciously wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, but the woman suddenly reached out and grabbed his collar, the speed was incredible.
Before Sangou could react, he saw the woman suddenly fly, and then he felt a huge force in his chest, like a rabbit, he was lifted up, and flew into the air with the woman.
"Woo......"
Sangou panicked and wanted to open his mouth to scream, but as soon as his mouth opened, a cold wind mixed with snowflakes suddenly penetrated, suffocating his scream back into his stomach.
The world was turned upside down in front of him, and the three dogs' heads were a mess, as if a short time had passed, and it seemed that a long time had passed, and when he finally came to his senses, he had come to a darkly lit room, and the woman beside him had disappeared without a trace.
"Hell yes, hell really, hey, where is this?"
Sangou was so frightened that his legs went limp, and he finally stood up against the base of the wall and looked at his surroundings.
At this moment, a faint voice suddenly came from his side.
"Sangou, are you here?"
"Ah......h
Sangou was startled, and subconsciously wanted to draw the knife, but found that the waist knife was no longer around.
When he was panicking, he suddenly heard a chuckle, only to feel that the laughter was a little close, and a little unruly, so familiar, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned and calmed down a little.
After getting through the initial panic, Sangou thought about it carefully, and the voice of the previous sentence was not unfamiliar, it was clearly Xu Rui's voice.
"Sharp ...... Brother Rui? ”
Sangou came back to his senses and asked hesitantly.
Hundreds of miles away, tens of thousands of horsemen braved the wind and snow and hurried all the way into the night, their booming hooves jumping up and down on thumb-sized gravel.
In the middle of the Chinese army, a cavalryman rushed to Zhong Qingyuan and handed him a secret letter printed with fire paint.
Zhong Qingyuan rode on the horse, casually dismantled the fire paint, unfolded the letter paper and read it carefully, but the war horse under him did not slow down at all.
In just a moment, Zhong Qingyuan handed the secret letter to the deputy general, and laughed: "Dark chess is doing well, the opportunity has really come!" ”
After reading the secret letter, the adjutant general put it away, and then asked: "General, the secret chess has dragged on for the army for another day, and now our army has gone ahead of the three thousand lone army, as long as we set up an ambush in advance, we can eat them all." ”
Zhong Qingyuan shook his head: "Those three thousand lonely soldiers have been misled by dark chess and have become the things in the pocket of our army, there is no need to waste time for them, order the army to advance at full speed, rush to Lingdong as soon as possible, I will use those three thousand lonely troops as bait to eat all their main forces before Beiwuwei escapes!" ”
"Yes!"
The adjutant general replied, and a whistle immediately sounded in the army, and tens of thousands of iron hooves suddenly became three points faster.
