Chapter Ninety-Five: The Arrogant Assassin

[Ran^Text^Library] The west of Tiantai City is only a hundred miles away, so it does not belong to the territory of the Marquis of Longwei, but belongs to the De'an Mansion of the Marquis of Longxi. Long Xihou Zheng led a large group of men and horses to De'an City, which is only three hundred miles away from Tiantai City, and it will take less than three days for his army to come to Tiantai City.

In fact, he could have rushed to Tiantai City a long time ago, but considering this operation, there was no need to raise a sword. A few days ago, he received news from the Hanzhong Marquis, saying that he had contacted Long Weihou, and things were going relatively smoothly, just waiting for Long Weihou to go to Fumiancheng to negotiate. Therefore, Long Xihou relaxed his vigilance a little, thinking that anyway, the Marquis of Hanzhong arrived first, and the Marquis of Long Wei also arrived in Fumiancheng, so let the Marquis of Hanzhong do this kind of bargaining trouble. Therefore, in recent days, the pace of the march has been slower, and it took a few days to arrive at De'an City.

Long Xihou still wanted to rest in De'an City for two days, anyway, his forward general Lei Wanyong had already arrived at the junction of De'an Mansion and Tiantai Ling, and it could be said that he had arrived at the designated position when asked.

Long Xihou still attaches great importance to the situation in Tiantai City, he is also a veteran, and he touched the other party's situation early. What's more, he has a spiritual priest who has conducted a careful reconnaissance of Tiantai City in the past few days.

This Lingshi's surname is Li, and although he is not yet a Great Lingshi, the entire Longxi Hou Kingdom respectfully calls him Master Li. He is not young now, he is in his seventies, and he looks down on Zhao Lingwu, who has not dried up. Before leaving, I said that just a child is a spiritual warrior, and how much ability does it have.

He told Longxi Hou that two days ago, Zhao Lingwu led 80,000 people into Tiantai City, and now there are only 200,000 men, women, and children in Tiantai City, less than half of Longxi's army. Long Weihou had already gone to Fumian City, and Tiantai City was not worried.

Longxi Hou was overjoyed, and he knew a few days ago that Zhao Lingwu was on his way to Tiantai City. Originally, he did not plan to fight Zhao Lingwu, because the king of Liang strictly ordered him to send Zhao Lingwu to the royal capital intact. He knows that King Liang wants to recruit his son-in-law, and he wants to be unscathed, of course, it is best not to use the sword soldiers, who can tell the things on the battlefield clearly. Tiantai City is so empty, and Long Weihou is not there, he only needs to come to the city, and the coercion may be done.

Long Xihou and Master Li arrived at De'an City together, and the lord of De'an Mansion naturally did his best to prepare a grand banquet to welcome him. The warbler sings and dances, staggered, so lively. The generals of various armies and nobles from all over the country stepped forward to give Hou Ye and Master Li a turn to drink. At this time, the lord of De'an Mansion was complimenting Master Li with a flattering smile: "Master Immortal Wind Dao Gu, he is really a man among immortals, and he can see it in this life, and he will die without regrets." ”

Master Li smiled and was about to answer, but saw that the jade pendant hanging around his neck kept shining. He suddenly became cautious, hurriedly beckoned everyone not to speak, and sat upright on the chair and closed his eyes and meditated. The nobles around him are also high-level figures, knowing that this is the magical communication method of the spirits, everyone can see it with their own eyes today, and they are all curious, and the hall suddenly quieted down.

The communication ended in just a minute, Master Li stood up with a solemn face, and Long Xihou also sensed his strangeness, and cast an inquiring look.

"Lord Qiqi, just two nights ago, Long Weihou suddenly attacked the Hanzhong army. The Marquis of Hanzhong suffered heavy losses and had retreated to the area of Yuanshan to defend. ”

Long Xihou stood up with a snort: "How is this possible?" Master, who do you listen to? ”

"Master Hou, there is absolutely nothing wrong. The person I was talking to just now was a spiritual priest from the side of His Royal Highness the Prince. He also said that His Royal Highness the eldest prince was rushing to Wonsan, and it would take four or five days at most. Ordered us to immediately launch an attack on Tiantai City, and as soon as possible, we and the Marquis of Hanzhong to attack Fumian City in the north and south. If Master Hou doesn't believe it, I'll investigate it immediately. ”

"Forget it, since the eldest prince has ordered it, it must be right. Ji Changwu is determined to fight to the death, and the net is broken. Pass my order and let the forward general Lei Wanyong carefully prepare for battle. The whole army of Longxi was ordered to stop resting and advance immediately. ”

When the Longxi army came out of De'an City, more than 80,000 troops led by the forward general Lei Wanyong were setting up camp more than 80 miles away from Tiantai City and were preparing to camp. This is already the territory of the Tiantai Domain, and his every move is under the control of Lingwu.

Lei Wanyong and his more than a dozen great warriors drank a lot of wine, and seeing that it was already late, he dismissed these already drunk subordinates. I was also very happy to drink, and I couldn't help but feel a little dizzy, and I was preparing to rest in the camp. Then he heard the sentry on guard outside the tent speak loudly: "Who is in front?" Tonight's password, the moon is dark and the wind is high. ”

"We're from the scout camp, tonight's password, candles in the cave. We have to report to the general on the military situation in the west of Tiantai City. ”

The two people who came were correct in their orders, and their accents were not abnormal, and the sentry did not stop them: "Follow me, the general may sleep later." ”

The sentry lifted the curtain and reported loudly: "Report to the general, the scout battalion has come to report the military situation." "Lei Wanyong is an experienced general, otherwise Long Xihou would not regard him as a confidant and appoint him as a striker. He still has some skills, and has arranged a lot of guards in the camp, especially around his camp. It was not easy to come to his tent, and he seemed to remember that he had arranged for someone to reconnoiter the situation in Tiantai City, so he casually agreed: "Come in, there is a fart to release quickly, Lao Tzu is going to sleep." ”

In fact, he had already taken off his shoes and coat, and was lying on the bed, when he heard someone coming in, and sat up in a daze. I saw two people coming in, one fat and one thin, both wearing a black short suit that the scouts of the Longxi Army often wear. Lei Wanyong glanced at the two of them, a little impatient: "What's the situation?" Say it. ”

I saw the thinner one step forward, bowed and said, "General.........", and at the moment when he arched his hand, the fat man next to him rushed over like lightning. Lei Wanyong was about to avoid it, but his head suddenly fainted, and he lost consciousness all of a sudden. saw the flash of the knife, and Lei Wanyong was already in a different place. The thin man in black was not idle, only to see that his left hand covered the mouth of the sentry who followed him, and with a wave of his right hand at his waist, a short knife quickly slashed through the sentry's neck, and the sentry died without snorting.

The fat man gently threw General Lei's head onto the bed, turned around and extended a thumbs up to his companion. The thin man in black didn't make a sound, but also extended a thumbs up to the fat man. The two men immediately lifted the curtain and, under the watchful eye of the sentries outside, swaggered out of the tent.
