Chapter 231: Thousands of Troops Come to Meet
A cloud-piercing arrow, thousands of troops come to meet each other.
This is a warning signal from the patrolling soldiers to their comrades in the barracks south of the city.
This firework instantly rose into the sky and exploded in the night sky, blooming with brilliant light.
Dunhuang county seat, south of the city barracks;
"It's a warning sign! All hands assemble quickly! A middle-aged general looked up at the brilliant fireworks, his face changed greatly, and he shouted loudly.
"My lord, could it be that the Han people attacked the city at night?" A man who looked like a lieutenant next to him stepped forward and asked in a low voice.
The middle-aged general frowned slightly, shook his head, and said slowly: "No, this warning fireworks seem to have come from the county guard's mansion, and it should be someone who stabbed and rubbed the general." ”
"This general is so useless that he can't even deal with a few assassins. If it weren't for his sister's relationship, the position of the first general under the command of King Youxian should have been yours of the general. "When it comes to Rub Cole, the lieutenant is clearly disdainful. It seems that wiping Cole's pustules is a well-known thing.
"Okay, the decision of the Right Virtuous King, it's not that we can put our beaks in it. No matter how useless it is to rub Cole, he is also the brother-in-law of the Right Virtuous King, and we must ensure his safety, otherwise we will not be able to explain to the Right Virtuous King. The middle-aged general said in a deep voice.
"Yes, General!" The adjutant gave a military salute and went down to command.
On the other side, a few miles away from Dun/Huangcheng, the Ma Jiajun camp.
"What's that?"
"It's fireworks!"
"Someone, go and inform the general."
The soldiers who were patrolling the night soon spotted the brilliant fireworks in the night sky not far away, and immediately sent someone to inform Ma Dai.
Ma Dai walked out of the barracks and looked up at the night sky, his brows furrowed slightly. He could naturally see that this firework represented some kind of signal, but he didn't know what it represented.
"Could it be that our whereabouts were discovered by those Hu people?" Ma Dai guessed.
"No, if that's the case, they should have come and sneak a night attack. Isn't the launch of such fireworks a clear indication of the whereabouts of the exposed? Ma Dai quickly denied.
"Forget it, let's go ask that Ye Kai first and see what he thinks?" Ma Dai thought about it, and walked directly towards Ye Kai's barracks.
But when Ma Dai walked in front of the military tent, he was blocked by a woman, Ma Dai recognized the woman in front of him and knew that he was the person next to Ye Kai, who seemed to be called Nie Xiaoqian?
Ma Dai didn't notice the woman dressed in black in front of him at first, and he didn't even know when the other party appeared in front of him, or if the other party had been here all along. A woman doesn't go to sleep in the middle of the night, but stands here to block her path. It's just so weird. However, if he knew that Nie Xiaoqian used to work at night when she was in Lanruo Temple, he wouldn't have thought so.
After learning the Seven Nights Assassination, Nie Xiaoqian became even more unpredictable, and it was at night that Ma Dai didn't notice it for a while.
"Miss Nie, I have something important to discuss with Brother Ye." Ma Dai looked at Nie Xiaoqian and spoke.
"Childe is not here, General Ma should please go back." Nie Xiaoqian said coldly. was originally a female ghost, but now she is on the road of assassination. Nie Xiaoqian's temperament is getting colder and colder, and her cuteness and playfulness only belong to Ye Kai alone.
"Brother Ye is not in the military tent? Where will he go in the middle of the night? Ma Dai looked up at the military tent behind Nie Xiaoqian and glanced at it, his brows furrowed slightly, although he was suspicious of Nie Xiaoqian's words. But in the end, he didn't choose to force in.
"Then I'll leave first, and when Brother Ye comes back, I'll trouble Miss Nie to tell me that I'm Ma Dai here." Ma Dai instructed. It is to turn and leave.
Nie Xiaoqian looked at Ma Dai's departing back expressionlessly, and gradually blended into the night on the side, until she completely disappeared.
Dunhuang County. In front of the county watchman's house.
Ye Kai sat on an eaves, looking at the night sky boredly, no one knew what he was thinking.
"Click......
The sound of horses' hooves sounded, and when they heard the sound, there were many people coming.
"It's finally here, I've been waiting for you for a long time." Ye Kai looked down at the other end of the street, muttering in a low voice.
Suddenly there was a fire on the other side of the dimly lit street, along with the sound of noisy footsteps and the deafening sound of horses' hooves.
Ye Kai floated down from the roof lightly, and just landed in the middle of the street, blocking the way of these Hu soldiers.
"Where did the blind boy dare to stand in front of us." In the darkness, someone rushed out, riding a tall horse, and with a flash of the scimitar in his hand, he slashed directly at Ye Kai.
Facing the scimitar that broke through the wind, Ye Kai's face did not change, his right hand reached out like lightning, grabbed the blade, and with a sharp force, he directly pulled the man off the horse.
The man fell to the ground, instinctively rolled at a donkey in front of him, and the moment he got up, he slashed at Ye Kai again.
"Look at the knife!"
The knife came out quickly, and it was slashed at Ye Kai in an instant, and to the surprise of the Hu people, his knife did not stop Ye Kai in the slightest, and Ye Kai was "cut in two".
"Mental fortitude, combat instinct is not bad, much more reliable than that rubbing Cole." As Ye Kai's voice sounded, the afterimage also slowly disappeared.
can get Ye Kai's "not bad" evaluation, the Hu man in front of him naturally cannot be an ordinary soldier, this person is the deputy general next to the Hu general. A deputy general can have such combat qualities, it seems that this general's strength must be good, at least it won't make Ye Kai feel bored.
"Oops!" The lieutenant general watched the afterimage of Ye Kai in front of him slowly disappear, his face changed greatly, and he didn't have time to react when he felt a strong wind breaking through the air, thinking that he might be able to explain here like this tonight, and his heart was bitter.
Clang!
The sound of the intersection of gold and iron sounded, and the lieutenant general found that he was not dead yet, and his heart was ecstatic, he turned around, looked at the wide back that appeared in front of him, and said gratefully: "General! ”
It was this general who came to the rescue at a critical moment, and the adjutant general was able to pick up a new life.
Ye Kai retracted his fist, jumped back a small step, looked at the middle-aged general who stopped in front of him, and grinned: "It's not bad." ”
The middle-aged general looked at Ye Kai and shook the big knife in his hand, if you look closely, you can find that his hands are trembling slightly, and it took a while before he finally stopped.
"Who is this man? There is such power! The middle-aged general's heart set off a monstrous wave, you must know that his own strength in the court of the Huns is already one of the best, and now he will lose to the hairy boy in front of him, it is incredible.
What disturbed him the most was the evil aura on the other party's body, as well as the red eyes anyway. (To be continued......) R1292
