Chapter 128: A Stratagem
At the beginning of October, Alhatu was about to retire as an envoy of Wu who had visited Xianyu.
So Yin Linxi and his subordinates, after receiving an imperial decree from the emperor, led a large group of people on the road in the name of escorting Alhatu along the way.
Five days were consumed on the way.
It was not until they arrived at the gorge pass adjacent to Zhongli's old land that Yin Linxi led the escort team to embark on the return journey.
The soldiers who completed the task were happy along the way, but what they didn't know was that I had actually disguised myself as a soldier and blended into the team under Yin Linxi's arrangement.
The purpose is to wait for an opportunity to assassinate Alkhatu.
Of course, for the sake of safety, this purpose is only known to me and Yin Linxi, as well as a few of his subordinates.
It's time for lunch breaks...
In order not to attract the attention of others, I specially found a place that was not far from everyone, but not very close to everyone, and sat on the ground.
Holding steamed buns in his hand, he has a lot of appetite.
"What? Can't get used to eating? A voice rang out beside him.
When I came to my senses, Yin Linxi, who was dressed in dark red armor and had a tall posture, was already sitting beside me, with a slightly funny expression on his face, but he became very heroic because of the crown tied up high.
"Why are you here?" I looked around nervously to make sure no one noticed this side, and then pushed him from behind, "You go quickly, it's not good for others to see it." ”
"Tsk," Yin Linxi shook my hand away, and said with a pretended profound, "Look at what you said, I haven't taken a good look at you for five days, and I finally sent away the plague god, and I want to stay with my wife for a while, why did you drive me away just now when I came!" Do you know how hard I have endured these five days? ”
"You—" My old face was very hot, and finally I had to open my eyes and whisper, "It's not serious, it's just a disciple." ”
"I like it!" For some reason, the guy seemed to be particularly thick-skinned today, and when he saw that I was a little awkward, he directly held my hand, and his fingers were tightly clasped.
"Why, I see that you don't have much energy, are these things too bad to eat?"
"It's too bad..."I looked down at the white-flour steamed bun in my hand, and suddenly remembered the days when I was hungry in Fengcheng, so I smiled bitterly, "I've eaten something dozens of times worse than this, but I don't feel anything." ”
"Then you are worried, are you worried about that?"
I understood what he was referring to the assassination of Alhatu, and nodded.
Yin Linxi's hand between my fingers tightened, and then gave me a reassuring look, "You can rest assured, didn't I say it?" I'm here, I'm here to let you see with your own eyes how I help you get revenge, besides... Isn't my uncle too? ”
"Hmm!" I nodded.
At the bottom of my heart, I was still not very peaceful, and vaguely seemed as if something big was about to happen.
But now that the arrow is on the line, I can't afford to think about it anymore.
"Later, I'll find an excuse to leave first, and then someone will pretend to be me and continue to walk back with the team, and you will take the opportunity to meet me in front, you know?"
"Good!"
Seeing that I agreed, he let go of my hand, got up and suddenly pretended to cough and said to the soldiers, "You just wait here first, I have some things to deal with." ”
Hearing him say this, a small group of people immediately rushed over, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, what is the matter?" The little ones are willing to go along! ”
Yin Linxi's face was ugly, "You guys are going to pee too?" ”
"This..."Several people were slightly embarrassed, and finally had to be silent, watching Yin Linxi go farther and farther.
Sure enough, it didn't take long...
A man with a body shape seven or eight points similar to Yin Linxi walked out of the place where Yin Linxi had just disappeared, but... But the man covered his face with a scarf.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, what's wrong with you?" A few soldiers thought it was strange and asked.
provoked the man to glare at them and said fiercely, "Why is there so much nonsense? You have to ask when you pee, and you have to ask about it now that you are suffering from the wind and cold? ”
Several soldiers lowered their heads in amusement.
The man immediately turned on his horse, raised the sail flag high, and shouted, "It's all rested, and if you're rested, I'll continue to hurry!" ”
The men received the order and immediately assembled.
I deliberately chose to stand at the end of the line in order to make it easier for me to escape.
After following them for a short time, he broke away from the group very easily.
However, when I came to the place agreed with Yin Linxi in advance, I didn't see him.
Where did it go?
I took off the heavy helmet on my head, and at the same time put my hand to my lips and whispered, "Yin Linxi? ”
I was silent for a long time, but no one responded to me.
What's going on? Am I in the wrong place?
Just as I was hesitating whether to continue walking, there was a sudden sound of horses beating behind me.
"Drive!"
I was shocked, and I thought that Yin Linxi's plan was discovered and the soldiers turned back halfway, but I didn't know that this time I turned around and led many mountain bandits to gallop over.
"Uncle?"
Lian Hatian on horseback saw that my face was full of astonishment, touched his chin and smiled, "Why is my nephew and daughter-in-law here alone?" What about that stinky boy in Linxi? ”
I smiled bitterly, "Uncle, in fact, I'm also looking for that stinky boy, I originally made an appointment to meet here, but he was nowhere to be found." ”
"Oh?" Lian Hatian raised his eyebrows slightly, "This kid is really a bastard, and he can rest assured that he can rest assured that he has such a flower-like daughter-in-law in the wilderness." ”
"Who said I was relieved?" At this moment, from the other side of the forest came a voice that was not angry.
A dark figure immediately appeared in everyone's sight.
"Yin Linxi?"
The dark figure walked towards me and smiled gently.
I was a little annoyed and said, "Where have you been?" Didn't you say you'd wait here? Any later, I'm afraid we won't be able to catch up with Alkhatu. ”
"Don't worry, it's so close to Alhatu's location, he can't run away."
"Why are you so sure?" I'm a little confused.
But Yin Linxi didn't explain, just smiled and waved his hand at Lian Hatian, and the two tacitly glanced at each other.
Then, I saw Lian Hatian, who was sitting on horseback, waving his hand.
Someone brought a red horse from behind him.
Yin Linxi glanced at me, then turned on his horse, stretched out his hand to me, and said, "Come here!" ”
I looked at the confidence in his heroic eyebrows, stunned for a moment, and then put my hand in his hand.
Let him pull me down in front of him, and let the horses gallop away to a ravine in the direction of the Gorge.
Merely... On the way, there seemed to be a few unusual sounds in my ears, and it sounded like the mountain had collapsed.
At that time, the uneasiness in my heart gradually weakened as the voice gradually weakened, and for some reason suddenly became more and more obvious.
On this trip, can I really successfully kill Alhatu to avenge the prince's brother?
I couldn't help but lose my mind.
Someone grabbed my hand and pulled me behind a huge rock mass, "This is not the time to stay. ”
When I came back to my senses, I was surrounded by Yin Linxi, whose expression had become very solemn.
It dawned on me that we had now reached the gorge of the Gorge Pass.
"What about Alkhatu?" I looked a little down the canyon.
There was a sudden cry in his ears, "Be careful! ”
As the words fell, my body was hugged by Yin Linxi from behind and fell to the ground.
At the same time, the weapon cut through the wind, and there was a "whoosh" hiss...
I raised my head slightly to realize that it was an arrow embedded in the massive rock mass above my head.
It can be seen that the skill of the person who used this arrow is profound, if it weren't for Yin Linxi behind me, I'm afraid that it would be my head that was pierced at this moment.
"Are you alright?" Yin Linxi took the opportunity to bring me back to the rock mass.
Seeing that he looked worried, I shook my head and said apologetically, "I'm sorry! It was me who was reckless. ”
"It doesn't matter." He looked down the canyon through the gap between the rocks, and I followed the direction of his gaze.
I saw that Alhatu and his people were sitting on tall horses and were surrounded in the canyon, and they were filled with huge rocks in front and behind.
At that time, I suddenly remembered the sounds I heard on the way here, such as the sound of a mountain collapsing, could it be from here?
"What's going on?"
Yin Linxi didn't look back, and Lian Hatian and his subordinates, who didn't know when they went around the other side of the canyon, understood something with their eyes, and then bowed slightly.
In the end, he said to me, "Alhatu is a cunning person, and he is a military general for a member of the Wu State, so it is not easy for us to deceive him, but fortunately, this person is proud of his strength and arrogance, so that we can take advantage of it." ”
I don't quite understand what he said.
Yin Linxi continued, "Because Alhatu is suspicious by nature, I expected that he would send someone to reconnoiter first when he passed through this canyon, so before he left, I bribed a henchman beside him to ensure that he could successfully retreat after introducing Alhatu into the canyon, and finally wrote to my uncle, asking him to send someone to wait here in advance, and when Alhatu gave the order to march, we would block his front and back roads!" ”
He paused, and glanced back at me with a smile, "Su'er, just watch, I will avenge your brother's revenge for you today." ”
After saying that, he was about to walk out of the rock mass, but I took the opportunity to grab his hand, "Can you let me kill him with my own hands?" ”
Yin Linxi's body was shocked, and he was silent for a moment before nodding.
At this time, Alhatu's ruthless voice suddenly came from under the canyon, "I don't know which hero is in trouble?" It's better to show up and meet each other, if the hero is for money, we can offer it with both hands, although the hero takes all our belongings clean, and then please let us go. ”
Lian Hattian, who was on the other side, snorted coldly, and didn't say much to him, just raised his hand high and shouted at the subordinate who was holding a feather arrow in his hand, "Release the arrow!" ”
For a while, the feather arrows in the hands of Lian Haotian's subordinates flew down the canyon like dense raindrops.
Alhatu stared at one part of the canyon with cold eyes, and scolded, "Miscellaneous." ”
Then he flew off his horse, and effortlessly threw down the feathered arrows that flew towards him.
But his subordinates are not so good at kung fu.
After a series of feather arrows fell, Alhatu's originally huge group gradually reduced to only a dozen people.
"Who is hiding behind? If you want my Alhatu life, don't keep hiding behind and be a turtle with a shrunken head! Alhatu grimaced, his gaze still fixed on one place.
