All the oddities were hidden in such unpredictable weather, and the sound of thunder and rain became a natural barrier for these assassins, silent, but also swordsmanlike.

Yang Hao and Sun Hui are both powerless civil officials, and when they encounter such a rainstorm, it is not conducive to traveling, coupled with such terrain and killers, it is even more difficult to move an inch, so they can only hide in the camp tent and hand over everything outside to Gu Qingming to deal with.

Gu Qingming is worthy of being the god of war general who fights on the battlefield, even in such bad weather, he can kill the enemy cleanly and neatly, without dragging mud and water.

The soldiers in his hands were also warriors of ten, surrounding the two adults in the camp to protect their safety and prevent them from any accidents.

Although the rain was loud, there was also a faint sound of weapons colliding, which drifted into the ears of Yang Hao and Sun Hui through the gap in the camp tent.

"Don't panic, the two adults are here, and they will protect the two adults with their lives to arrive in Ji'an County safely and complete the errand assigned by the emperor. ”

Just when Yang Hao and Sun Hui looked at each other and were at a loss, Gu Qingming's low but deep voice came from outside, with a calming power, which made the two of them relax in an instant.

Who is Gu Qingming? He is the god of war general who resists Beidi and resists Nanyi, kills the enemy on the battlefield, he is brave and fearless, and he is strategic, between talking and laughing. He also once took the head of the enemy general in the midst of thousands of troops, and also cut off the enemy's banner in the rain of guns and arrows.

With him and the soldiers here, they were naturally at ease.

"Lord Yang, who do you say these assassins are, and why did they think of besieging us in such bad weather?" Sun Hui listened to the movement outside, a little puzzled.

"People on the rivers and lakes always like to kill people on rainy nights, but as for who sent the assassin, the official does not know. Yang Hao said, "Now Daning is not stable, and Beidi Nanyi is eyeing the tiger, maybe some people want to take advantage of the Daning flood, fishing in troubled waters, disturbing the safety of Daning, it is not impossible." ”

"You mean, it's people from Beidi or Nanyi who came?" Sun Hui guessed as he listened to Yang Hao's words.

Yang Hao didn't speak, but his brows frowned, but he had another plan in his heart. The reason why he said this just now was just to paralyze Sun Hui and interfere with Sun Hui's thoughts.

Because since Yang Hao can get into the position of imperial history in the court, he is naturally not that kind of foolish person. On the surface, this Sun Hui is just a small Taicang order, and he has no party affiliation, and he never gets close to any official, but in the court, Sun Hui has supported Shen Ze's documents several times, and it is likely that he is Shen Ze's person.

Now that he is traveling south to control the floods, why Shen Ze sent Sun Hui to accompany him is also worth paying attention to.

As for the origin of these assassins, although they may have been sent by Beidi and Nanyi, it is also very likely that they were sent by Shen Ze in order to support his henchmen, and of course, it is not excluded that the political enemies of the three of them want to take this opportunity to get rid of them.

The rain was still heavy, the fighting continued, and the soldiers fought bloodily to wipe out the assassins, but the people hiding in the shadows did not show up for a long time.

Suddenly, another sharp arrow surged, but the target was not Gu Qingming, but the camp behind him.

The sharp arrow penetrated the camp tent and shot straight towards Yang Hao, and this Lord Yushi, who was talking eloquently in the court on weekdays, turned pale with fright at this time, his legs trembled, and he couldn't move.

"Lord Yang, be carefulβ€”" Sun Hui reminded on the side, but he was not the kind of person who carried a gun into battle, so he could only watch as the sharp arrow shot towards Yang Hao.

At this critical moment, Gu Qingming suddenly appeared, and a flying body entered the camp tent, the long sword in his hand flew, blocking the sharp arrow that was about to shoot Yang Hao's heart.

Bang bang bang.

Countless arrows only flew from all directions, and they seemed to be aimed at this tent, Gu Qingming was in charge, and he exerted his martial arts to the extreme, blocking the dense rain of arrows.

"The assassin is in the dense forest over there, chasing-"

"Protect the two adults and the generalβ€”"

The soldiers soon discovered the situation and divided into two groups, one with shields in front of the tent, blocking most of the arrows outside, while the other pursued the people who were shooting arrows in the shadows, depending on the direction and distance of the arrows.

Perhaps these assassins knew that Gu Qingming's soldiers had always been well-trained and were afraid of being overtaken, so when they heard the sound, they left their places one after another, turned around and fled.

And before they fled, they also shot the last wave of arrows, one of which was full of power, originally towards Yang Hao, but after being blocked by Gu Qingming, they found that there was actually another arrow behind them.

The two arrows fired in succession, but Gu Qingming didn't have time to swing his sword, in order to ensure Yang Hao's safety, he turned around and used his arm to use the arrow.

The arrow was inserted into Gu Qingming's arm, blood flowed out, and it hurt for a while, but he didn't care at all, he only pulled out the arrow, threw it on the ground, and then turned to Yang Hao and asked:

"Lord Yang, are you alright?"

"General Gu, I'm fine, but you're injured. Yang Hao didn't expect that Gu Qingming would actually use his arm to block the arrow, and his heart was shocked, "Yang's life was saved by General Gu, and this time, Yang owes General Gu a favor." ”

"Your Excellency doesn't have to be polite, it's all for the emperor, as long as you can escort your adult to Ji'an County safely this time and complete the errand of flood control and disaster relief, what's the harm if Gu is slightly injured?" Gu Qingming said.

At this moment, the tent was suddenly lifted, and a soldier walked in outside, still mixed with wind and rain.

"General Qiyu, at this moment, he has already taken advantage of the night and rain to leave, his subordinates have not been caught, and the assassins around the camp are not alive, so they cannot interrogate their origins. The soldier said, "Please atone for the general." ”

"It doesn't matter, the weather is not good for the battle today. Gu Qingming said, "You guys are good to arrange for the dead and wounded brothers, and when the rain stops and the day dawns, we will continue to hurry and go to Jiandong County." ”

"Subordinate command!" the soldier saluted and took the order.

Only then did Gu Qingming turn to Yang Hao and Sun Hui and said: "Two adults, the assassin can't be attacked in one blow, I think we have already taken precautions, we shouldn't come again, the two adults can rest in peace, just leave the night patrol defense to Gu." ”

"General Gu, you better go and bandage your wounds first. Sun Hui said, "Before he arrived in Ji'an County, he had already suffered such a large-scale assassination, General Gu still had to take care of himself, and I still have to rely on the general." ”

"Thank you, Lord Sun, minor injuries are fine. After Gu Qingming finished speaking, he also left the camp tent and returned to his own tent next to him.

Gu Qingming's lieutenant Gu Yan had already prepared gauze and gold sore medicine and was waiting, and when he saw Gu Qingming coming, he began to clean and bandage his wounds, and his movements were very skillful, as if he often did these things.

However, this is not surprising, Gu Yan is a retainer of the Gu family, and he also grew up in the Gu family, and he is the same brother and sister as Gu Qingming. Over the years, on the battlefield, every time Gu Qingming was injured, almost all of them were bandaged by Gu Yan.

"Childe, this assassination is strange. After the wound was bandaged, Gu Yancai frowned and said to Gu Qingming.

"It's strange. Gu Qingming shook his bandaged arm, and when he saw that there was no big problem, he said, "The assassins who came are all well-trained, with exquisite knife skills and accurate archery skills. All the Assassins committed suicide immediately after being caught, leaving no chance for us to interrogate. ”

"Childe, this is the arrow I pulled from the tree, the one you missed outside, look at it. Gu Yan handed the arrow to Gu Qingming and said.

Gu Qingming took the arrow and looked at it carefully, and after a long time, he said, "This is...... Beidi's arrows. The Beidi people are a people on horseback, and they are the best at archery on horseback, and the arrows are well-made, and the arrows used are pure iron, whether it is Daning or Nanyi, there is no such sophisticated manufacturing process. ”

"Not bad. Gu Yan nodded, "Childe, then do you see these people, are they Beidi people? But if they are really Beidi people, even if they come to assassinate, they should not be directed at Lord Yang, but at you." Because they know that with you, they don't want to take a step beyond the thunder pool. ”

"It's not that simple. Gu Qingming said, "You bring a pen and paper, I will immediately play this matter to the emperor, if it is really the heart of the Beidi thief who is not dead and comes to tempt, then the northern border of Daning will be a fierce battle." ”

Gu Qingming's words fell, and the sky suddenly brightened, and after the huge lightning, there was a flat thunder, which resounded in the air.

At this time, in the Daning Palace City, Yun Yao suddenly sat up from the bed, looking at the lightning passing outside the window, and the rare thunder in the capital, her heart trembled.

She seemed to have had a nightmare just now, dreaming that Gu Qingming was seriously injured, with an arrow stuck in his chest, lying on the ground covered in blood, the rain washed his wounds, and the blood mixed with the rain, full of devastation.

"General......" Yun Yao whispered, wiped the fine sweat on her forehead, and lay down again, but she couldn't sleep anymore.

After a long time, the rain began to fall in a dripping manner, and there was a tendency to become more and more intense, which made Yun Yao's heart tense for a while. Even the capital, which has always had little rain, has such a heavy rain, so what kind of situation should it be in the south?

Although she believed that Gu Qingming was strong in martial arts and had rich experience in dealing with the enemy, no one knew what kind of people Zhou Taichang would send and what kind of killing moves he would use to deal with Yang Yushi.

If Gu Qingming unfortunately hit the passenger car by mistake......

Thinking of this, Yun Yao didn't feel any sleep, she simply got up, walked to the window, and opened the window lattice slightly, so that the wind and rain outside would spill in, hitting her body, a chill.

It's a scorching summer heat, and it's been a long time since there's such a cool wind, but if such coolness would endanger Gu Qingming's life, then she would rather not.
