Chapter 118: The Haunting Assassin

The sound of swords and swords fighting sounded on the road.

Xiang Yun, who narrowly escaped from the flying arrows and horses' hooves, had been protected by his own soldiers layer by layer, watching the fight through the crowd.

The layers of surrounding figures collided and chaotically, and suddenly there was a boom, black smoke billowed from the crowd, and the soldiers and horses retreated outward.

In the dark eyes, a figure ran towards the undulating mountains, and only his long hands and long legs could be seen in the black smoke that drifted away.

"The assassin is gone!"

"Chase!"

The soldiers shouted to chase after them, and the assassins in front of them could barely see the human figure.

Although he couldn't see the figure clearly, it was very familiar to run away with such a U-turn without a hit, Xiang Yun stood up and looked at the disappearing figure.

The assassin who escaped with a missed blow in Jiannan Road unexpectedly reappeared.

Jiannan Dao did not catch this person, Xiang Yun did not relax his vigilance, and returned to Longyou to be vigilant and vigilant for a long time, until it was confirmed that there was no suspicious person.

Unexpectedly, just as he was about to forget, the assassin reappeared.

The assassination has not given up, Xiang Yun's expression is solemn, and this assassin knows his whereabouts too well, it is clear that he has been peeping and waiting beside him.....

"My lord, there is no more life."

The soldiers re-examined the corpses around them, and came over to bow their heads and plead guilty.

"What's the matter with you guys!" The deputy general of the pro-soldier scolded sharply, "The Metropolitan Governor was killed because of this, and he was so imprudent!" ”

The generals knelt on the ground with hula la.

Xiang Yun was not angry on the side, but felt a little funny, did he still treat others in his own way? Li Fengan was killed by him like this, so will he also be killed like this?

Is this Li Feng'an being a ghost and not letting him go, or is it deliberately arranged by the people of Jiannan Dao?

Xiang Yun has never been afraid of ghosts, only people are the most terrifying in the world.

"My lord, how are you?" The adjutant general saw that Xiang Yun was silent for a long time and asked uneasily.

Xiang Yun took a step forward and his body shook, and the deputy general hurriedly held on.

"My foot hurts." Xiang Yun looked down at his legs and feet.

......

......

When night fell, the torches of the military tents encamped on the side of the road were bright, igniting the entire valley, and in the distant night, there were constantly fires lit up, like a galaxy falling to the ground.

"Governor."

A group of officials galloped over, jumping down and rushing in without waiting for the horses to stop, Jiang You was not in the front, but walking behind him, surrounding Xiang Yun with other officials.

"How are you?"

Xiang Yun took off his armor and wore an ordinary robe, there were no blood marks on his body, but his right foot was wrapped in a splint.

"It's okay, I hurt my foot when I got off the horse." He said.

The officers breathed a sigh of relief, accusing the generals of carelessness, and asked if the Assassin had been caught.

The adjutant shook his head with a shy face: "It's still being hunted, but there is no news all the time." ”

The officials were gossiping, "This is the thief on Shuofang's side." "We're going to check the territory strictly."

Jiang You, who had not spoken, stood up and said loudly: "No, I suspect that this is a conspiracy of Ankang Mountain!" ”

The tent was quiet and looked at him.

Jiang You stepped forward to salute: "Governor, this matter should be considered in the long run, please go back to Longyou first." ”

The other people in the tent looked at each other, and Xiang Yun smiled: "No." ”

"The Governor of the Governor is in danger of hanging the South Sword Road, but please don't be careless." Jiang You took out the map and spread it on the table, and motioned to other officials to come and see, "Shuofang's side is pursued by His Majesty's heroic troops, the rebels in the territory have been cleared, and the thieves have seized the capital, and they are eyeing Shuofang Linzhou, although our Longyou is small and remote, but the location is very important." ”

The officials who gathered around watched Jiang You draw a line to the west of Longyou on the map.

"You can go straight to the outside here." Jiang You looked at everyone, "If something happens to Longyou and Ankang Mountain can unite with the Xiongnu and Tibet, then Shuofang will be finished." ”

The officials looked at the map, the position of Longyou is indeed precipitous, and there was no need to worry about the Huns and Tubo before, there was Shuofang to guard and Daxia to be powerful and stable for hundreds of years.

Who would have thought that Daxia would be in chaos overnight.

"When Governor Li Dadu asked the imperial court to place the Jiedu envoy here, it must have been because of this consideration." Jiang You sighed, "The Metropolitan Governor is wise." ”

Everyone present sighed.

"Therefore, Ankang Mountain wants to attack us." Jiang You's voice was raised, drawing back everyone's attention, "He used this method to kill Governor Li, and he can also use the same trick to harm Governor, if Governor is assassinated this time, what will be the result?" ”

When Li Feng'an had an accident, the court was still stable, and there were many people and generals, and the situation was quickly stabilized, but now the situation is different, if Xiang Yun dies, Longyou will be in chaos immediately.

Everyone's complexion changed.

"It's not just that Longyou is in chaos, but our Longyou is also the gateway of Jiannan Road." Jiang You said in a deep voice, stretched out his hand and nodded at the position adjacent to Longyou and Jiannan Dao, "Longyou is lost, Qianzhong is in rebellion, and Nanyi is ready to move, this is the real danger of Jiannan Dao." ”

Suddenly there was a lot of talk in the tent.

"Where is there no danger? For example, today is all the conspiracy of Ankang Mountain. ”

"I don't think it's a good idea for the governor to hide."

"Yes, everyone, take precautions."

"I don't agree with what you say, you can't go to Qianzhong, not to hide, but to stabilize Longyou."

"Yes, there is a rebellion in Qianzhong, but there is Qi Shan on the left to lead the southeast army, and the pressure on Jiannan Road is not very great, and the soldiers and horses in Qianzhong District dare to come and invade Jiannan Road, which is strange in itself, maybe it is to lure the governor to send troops."

There are those who oppose and those who agree, although the number is very small, but it still breaks a hole, Jiang You is very satisfied with this scene, he raised his voice again and said to Xiang Yun: "So please ask the governor to return to Longyou for the time being, this matter should be cautious." ”

The matter still has to be decided by Xiang Yun, who is the governor, and everyone stopped talking and looked at Xiang Yun.

Xiang Yun said: "These are all speculations, and they can only be deduced until the assassin is caught to find out his identity." ”

Yes, the identity of the Assassin is the key, and everyone wakes up and responds in unison.

More soldiers and horses rushed out of the camp and headed in all directions, like a big net covering the sky.

......

......

In the early winter night, there was a small sound of breaking in the mountain forest, which seemed to be people walking and snakes and insects crawling, and the sound of horses' hooves was heard on the road not far away, and the vibration made the sound of the mountain forest disappear.

At the same time, the clouds in the night sky dispersed, and the obscured moonlight poured down, mottled through the dead branches and dry leaves, and fell on a man standing in the mountains and forests.

He was a tall man, wrapped in only a piece of fur in the winter, revealing most of his skin, glowing in the moonlight.

He listened to the sound of horses' hooves outside, and then he stepped again, landing on his long legs and feet, and quickly walked through the mountains and forests to a river.

The moonlight made the river like a mirror, the man crouched down and looked at the reflection in the water, a thick beard covered his face, thick eyebrows frowned, reached out and took out a dagger and began to shave the river.

The beard was cut off like grass and thrown off, shattering the calm surface of the river, and the ripples dissipated and the calm was restored, and a handsome face was reflected in the river.

"I'm still good-looking." Xiang Beard nodded in satisfaction and looked at himself at the river until there was a grunt in his stomach.

The handsome face in the river frowned and stood up.

Because he crossed the mountains and mountains, his gorgeous robe had already been thrown away, because he was like a mountain and a rock, waiting for his face to be rough by the wind and sun, but his body was always safe and sound.

Mixing in the bandits and pretending to be dead did not hurt him, and he did not get hurt when he missed the blow with all his strength, because he came to assassinate, not to sacrifice himself, and he left immediately after missing the blow, and he did not love to fight or fight.

Xiang Yun's life has not been obtained yet, and he can't give up his life.

But he was so hungry that he couldn't remember how long it had been since he had eaten, so he rubbed his belly and turned back, his eyes searched the ground in the moonlight, and he pounced on it, and then got up and grabbed a fat field mouse.

The rat had no time to make any movement before its neck was broken.

Xiang Qiu shook the wild mouse with satisfaction, squatted on the ground and took out a fire twist and squatted down to light the dead grass, but his ears moved and stopped.

The sound of horses' hooves is always far and near, and the ignition of a fire at night is the easiest to reveal its identity.

So.....

Xiang Qi put away the fire twist, opened his mouth to show his white teeth and bit on the neck of the wild mouse, and blood dripped from the fur, more and more, sliding from the corners of his mouth and falling on his naked body.

Throwing it at the beard, he bit off a piece of flesh, spit it on the ground, and tried to bite the exposed flesh with another bite.

The river was as quiet as a mirror, reflecting the handsome man with his back to him, silently munching on raw flesh.
