Day 4.

The news of Ding Se's death swept through the entire Shuozhou City at a stormy speed under the spread of people with good intentions. For a time, all the civil and military officials in Shuozhou City were in danger, and they were still killed in Huangquan with Ding Zhi's ability, who of them dared to guarantee that they were safe?

The ordinary people of Shuozhou City were very happy to hear this news. They don't know how Ding Shi is an official, but they can see these usually high-ranking officials living in hiding like frightened rabbits, and they can't help but gloat.

The officials of Shuozhou City, whose lives were in danger, were in no mood to pay attention to the thoughts of those low-level people, and the military attaches simply lived in the barracks and let the soldiers surround their big tents.

If the military attaches were like this, the civilian officials were even more unbearable, and they followed them to the barracks with their faces in cheek, and also demanded the same treatment as the military attachés. They now want to let the guards protect them even if they are still respectful.

As a military discipline officer, Gao Lun has great prestige and authority in the Shuozhou army. Even the soldiers guarding outside his tent were much more numerous than ordinary officials.

At this moment, he was wiping his sword in the big tent,

"If there is an Assassin, let him come...... Ding Shi will die, it must be because he was too careless. I can't easily penetrate this specially made heavy armor, so what can you do with me as an assassin? And this big tent has been surrounded by masses, and not even a fly dares to fly in. Haha, I must be the safe......st!

Before he finished speaking, Gao Lun's smile suddenly froze on his face, and his head slipped from his neck, leaving a dazzling scarlet blood mark on the silver heavy armor......

Shenhuan picked up the silk scarf in Gao Lun's hand, wiped away Gao Lun's blood on the Questioning Heart Sword, and threw the silk scarf to the broken neck where Gao Lun was still bleeding.

"Indeed...... You've reacted quickly today, and you've been well defended outside your tent, but I've been hiding here since last night...... I'm sure you've heard of the trick of concealment...... Why didn't you come in and look behind the screen?"

I don't know if Gao Lun, whose corpse is still warm, will be dumbfounded when he hears Shenhuan's words......

Shen Huan walked behind the screen again, took out a full set of armor of an ordinary soldier and put it on. Standing on the edge of the cloth tent, Shen Huan took a deep breath and blew a big hole in the ground under his feet!

At the same time as the explosion, Shenhuan rushed through the tent and fell on the group of soldiers outside the tent who had fallen to the ground due to the force of the explosion.

"Alas," "alas," and shouted as the soldiers who got up from the ground saw the military discipline officer Gao Lun in a different place through the corner of the collapsed tent, and shouted in panic: "Oh no! The military discipline officer is dead!"

Soldiers rushed around the barracks to tell each other the bad news, reminding others to be vigilant. An atmosphere of panic enveloped the entire barracks, and no one noticed that in the midst of the panic, a soldier quietly left the barracks......

In this great crisis of officials across the state, there are also people who believe in themselves and still stay at home, such as Cui Wu, one of them.

In the afternoon of this day, Cui Wu walked out of the house and came to the deep alley next to the City Lord's Mansion. The crooked-necked tree never seemed to have changed, and it looked extremely beautiful next to the gorgeous city lord's mansion.

Cui Wu walked to the entrance of the alley and confirmed that the guards of the City Lord's Mansion had not noticed him. In a voice as thin as a mosquito, he said, "Is there any news from the military advisor?"

There was no response in the alley.

Cui Wu was stunned, and his voice became a little anxious: "As soon as Ding Shi dies, Xue Zhao's ambition will inevitably be hit." The results of this arrangement, which our Shengzhou induced Shuozhou to encircle and suppress the ghosts, and offered a reward for the remnants of the ghosts, thus inflating Xue Zhao's ambitions, can be said to have lost most of the results. Convey to the military advisor, hoping that he will give instructions for the next step as soon as possible. ”

"Original...... This matter also has something to do with your Shengzhou......" A cold voice came from the alley, and at the same time, a human head rolled from the ground to Cui Wu's feet.

Cui Wu, who had a dead face at his feet, naturally knew him, and this person was the deputy and messenger sent to him by Wenren Chucai.

Cui Wu raised his head again, and the tip of a pitch-black long sword gradually enlarged in his gaze. Cui Wu opened his mouth in fear, and before he could utter the first syllable, he was pierced through his head by the long sword like a watermelon!

Shen Huan retracted his sword and disappeared into the dark alley......

That night, there was another head in front of Xue Zhao, and the confidants of the deliberations became four. Xue Zhao's face was gloomy, and none of the four subordinates dared to say anything.

"Today, the military discipline officer was killed in a big tent surrounded like an iron bucket, and Cui Wu was killed at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion! Yes, it was at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion...... At the gate of the City Lord's Mansion!" At the beginning of speaking, Xue Zhao's voice was still very calm, but later, it turned into a roar, "Is that person going to rush into the City Lord's Mansion tomorrow and slaughter me?

"The lord is angry, there are six 'desolate shadows' in the city lord's mansion, and your safety is not worried. One of his men replied, sweating profusely.

"Oh, so you remember the 'Wild Shadow' and them. Do you want me to call out the leader of the 'Wild Shadow' so that you can hear what he thinks?"

"It's not necessary...... the man's clothes were soaked with sweat, and he didn't have to think about it to know that the leader of the "Desolate Shadow" definitely didn't say anything good, "We are not capable enough to bring shame on Shuozhou, and we really deserve death." subordinates think...... At this time, there is only one person who can worry about the Lord......"

"Do you mean that old stubborn who locked himself in his study and swore that he would never give me another advice for the rest of his life, that good military advisor for me?" Xue Zhao's eyes were cold.

"Yes. The man withstood the pressure exuded by Xue Zhao, and said stubbornly, "I think the military advisor must have a good strategy." Although the military advisor locked himself in the study, he must be clear about the movement outside. Maybe he has a good plan ready at this moment, just waiting for the lord to go and ask for advice......"

With that, the man had closed his eyes, and when he decided to say this, he had a sense of death. But as long as Shuozhou can be saved, he is willing to die.

After waiting for a while, the imaginary thunderous fury did not come. He opened his eyes and found that Xue Zhao on the main seat was thoughtful.

After a long time, Xue Zhao let out a long sigh and said, "Let me think about it...... Stand down......"

After the four henchmen left, Xue Zhao looked up at the plaque of "Wangu Meiji" in the hall, and muttered to himself: "Military advisor, military advisor, in the end, do I still have to rely on you? But why do you oppose me to win the twenty-four states of divine enlightenment......

Day 5.

In a quiet house in the north of Shuozhou, a few old servants were cleaning the fallen leaves on the ground after a night's work. The house is elegantly decorated, and every detail is handled with great care, showing the extraordinary taste of the owner.

In the study of the house, an old man with silver hair was writing something. Suddenly, he stopped the wolf in his hand and said, "Visiting little friend, you don't have to hide, the life of the old man is not worth your effort." ”

This came in a strange way, because there was no second person in the room, and naturally no one would answer him.

"Little friend, since the old man dares to expose your disguise so directly, it represents the kindness of the old man. The old man's voice was very kind, "The life of the old man has been pinched in your hands, the old man is just an ordinary person, and he can't play any tricks in your hands." ”

"The first wise man in Shuozhou, the military division of Shuozhou City, whose status in Shuozhou City is second only to the city lord Xue Zhao, can he be regarded as an ordinary person? At this moment, you have discovered my whereabouts, and the credibility of your words is too low. Shen Huan's voice came from the darkness.

"That's all in the past. Ever since Lao Yu swore that he would never give Xue Zhao any more advice, Lao Yu was just a bad old man who liked to dance and write at home. I can find out your disguise, it's just because of a few small tricks at home when I'm old and bored, and I don't think you're interested in young people. The old man chuckled, "From the moment you arrived, the old man knew that today was the time for the old man to rest. The reason why I want to talk some nonsense before you do it is just to make you not underestimate the heroes of the world......"

Shen Hwan didn't speak, but listened quietly in the dark.

"If what I expected, after you kill me, in half a day, you will go to kill the warden!"

"Although it is quite surprising that you were able to kill Ding Se, your purpose is clear to you. In the time you have been here, the officials who are in charge of the operation of all the affairs in the city, whether they are armed or not, you have killed two people. But in prison, you are not touched. Everything you do is to create panic and to disguise your purpose when you officially do it. And the old decay that is still a little famous, is the last link before you officially start! You should be a friend of the captured ghost survivor......"

"Yes. Shenhuan admitted frankly, "Although my friend was born in Ghost Tao, he has taken the initiative to get rid of Ghost Tao for many years, and he is innocent, but he is wanted by you Shuozhou." As a result, my friend was captured and tortured in prison. You want to put my friend to death, and I will never let that happen. ”

"Alas...... At the beginning, the lord was instigated by the villain and intended to dominate the mainland, but the old man strongly opposed it. It's a pity that the ambitious lord didn't listen, and the old man could only lock himself up here, vowing not to contribute to Shuozhou again for the rest of his life. I still want to thank you for killing the spy Cui Wu, but unfortunately, it's too late......"

In the old man's words, there was a heavy regret and sorrow, I don't know if it was because of himself or because of Shuozhou......

"Xiaoyou, arrest your friend, it's Shuozhou's mistake. The only thing the old man can do is to be willing to kill and make your plan come true. The old man has only one request, and I hope you will grant it. ”

"Speak, please. Shen Huan used honorifics, and he already had some respect for this old man who was impeccable in both wisdom and conduct.

"I hope you don't hurt innocent people in the process of saving your friends...... Spare their lives other than the wardens...... The old man hopes that after this incident, Shuozhou will not be annexed by other neighboring states...... Even if there is little hope......

"I promise you. ”

"Little friend...... You have the darkest hand, but you also have the brightest heart...... Thank you very much......"

Shen Huan stepped out of the shadows with heavy steps, walked behind the old man, and put his palm on the old man's back.

The old man felt the palm behind his back and slowly closed his eyes with a serene expression.

Shenhuan's face was complicated, and as soon as he gritted his teeth, the qi in his palm was shocked, shattering the old man's heart without leaving any external injuries......

"Farewell...... Old gentleman......"
