Volume III, Chapter 557

When Du Bo realized that it was not good, the long arrow had been shot in front of him, and he heard a flutter in the ear chakra, and this arrow, right in the side of his neck, the long arrow entered his left neck, and went out from his right neck, directly nailing him through his neck.

Du Bo opened his mouth wide, but he couldn't even scream, and the strength in his body seemed to be sucked dry all at once, standing in place, unable to move.

The black-clothed man on the opposite side stepped forward, and the long sword in his hand slashed a wonderful electric light in the air, sweeping straight in front of Du Bo.

It was the last scene he had ever seen, and the long electric light was dazzling, and it made him feel like the world was spinning.

"Ka!"

With a crisp cracking sound, the man in black shaved off Du Bo's head with a sword, and then, without pausing for a moment, he shouted to all around: "Withdraw!"

Before the heavy cavalry and horses were about to complete the encirclement, these black-clothed men went into the dense forest together, the sky was dark, and the forest could not see their fingers, and several black-clothed men got in, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

This situation made Guan He completely dumbfounded.

The situation on the field changed too quickly, which caught people off guard, and Du Bo was almost killed by the opponent's series of killings in front of his eyes, and he didn't even have a chance to rescue.

Looking at the corpse lying on the ground, Guan He was stunned, until Du Qing let out a scream like killing a pig, and crawled towards Du Bo's corpse like crazy, he suddenly came back to his senses.

In an instant, Guan He's eyebrows were erected, the kidnappers didn't kill Du Bo sooner or later, but they killed Du Bo in front of their own eyes, these kidnappers clearly deliberately embarrassed themselves and gave themselves a great shame!

"Damn rats, you deceived me too much, where do I see you running?" Guan He was also dizzy, and chased in the direction of the black-clothed man while screaming.

Until now. He hadn't noticed anything strange yet, and he thought that these men in black were kidnappers, if he calmed down and thought about it carefully, it was not difficult to find that these men in black were too well-trained, and each of them had a perfect martial arts. How much can an ordinary kidnapper achieve?

At this time, he went to chase the kidnappers, where else could he catch them? The dense forest was dark and there were many trees, and even if the kidnappers did not flee and hid in a corner, he would not want to find them again.

But Guan He was not reconciled, and led his cavalry to rush around the woods like headless flies, and as a result, he was busy for more than half an hour. I didn't even see the shadow of the man in black. In the end, even if he was unwilling, he had no choice but to give up the search, and retreated to the open space with a group of subordinates sweating profusely.

At this time, Du Qing had also fainted from crying, and the four doormen were drooping their heads like defeated roosters. Stand aside.

Overnight, Du Qing lost two sons. Such a heavy blow is something that no one can afford to replace.

Seeing this miserable situation, Guan He also sighed in his heart, sat on the horse, and shook his head secretly.

Du Bo, the person who was loyal to the king and the imperial court but was regarded by Lin Haotian as a thorn in the flesh, finally died. Relying on Yang Yuyan's strength, he could dodge Lin Haotian's spear, but he couldn't dodge Lin Haotian's demon martial artist.

Even if he died, he died at the hands of the 'kidnappers', and his death was disgraceful. Shady.

The two brothers Du Bo and Du Chong were killed one after another, which was also a fatal blow to Du Qing, the old man who was already old lost his son in his old age, and could not bear such a tragic blow, so he was bedridden, and the position of the general was already in vain, which invisibly eliminated the biggest political enemy for Lin Haotian in the imperial court, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

Following.

Wang Yu and Guan He reported the matter to Lin Haotian at the General's Mansion.

When reporting, Wang Yu was expressionless, just stating a fact, while Guan He lost his arrogant posture in the past, and always hung his head, like a frosted eggplant, wilted.

Regarding this matter, Lin Haotian didn't know much about the inside story, only knowing that although Lu Dao handed over the matter to the demon martial artist, it was Wang Yu who actually planned it behind the scenes. Guan He's involvement must have been Wang Yu's idea, and after thinking about it carefully, he also understood why Wang Yu wanted to pull Guan He in, since Wang Yu had already done this, don't waste his thoughts.

Lin Haotian deliberately showed displeasure, stared at Guan He, and asked, "General Guan, General Du was killed by robbers in front of your eyes?"

It's hard to say, but it's true. Guan He lowered his head, his face was red, if there was a crack in the ground now, he could get into it without hesitation, he continued to droop his head, his voice was so low that he could barely hear himself, and said, "Yes...... Yes......"

Lin Haotian raised his eyebrows and said, "A few robbers were able to kill General Du in front of your General Guan, and then they all escaped unharmed, do you think this commander should believe your words?"

"Plop!"

Guan He's legs weakened, he knelt on the ground, kowtowed, and said in a trembling voice: "My lord, this is indeed the last general's carelessness, let the robbers take advantage of the loophole, please punish the last general, and the last general will admit the punishment!"

"Alas!" Lin Haotian sighed heavily and said, "You can't be blamed for this, come to think of it, the robbers' martial arts must also be very powerful." After a pause, he said again: "Guan He, now you should always understand that at the critical moment, you alone have strength, but your strength is limited after all, and it is difficult to change the overall situation." This time you have a lesson, and you must not be arrogant in the future. Fortunately, this time I only encountered a few thieves, if you make the mistake of underestimating the enemy on the battlefield, you still have your life now!"

Guan He's heart was shocked, and he hurriedly responded: "The adult has taught him a great lesson, and the last general will strictly follow the teachings and never do it again!"

"Remember what you said today! It is normal for a young man to be ambitious and reckless, but now that you are the commander of an army, your life is no longer yours alone, but the 100,000 soldiers of the whole army. Lin Haotian said sharply: "Today's mistakes, if you make them again in the future, you, the commander, don't have to do it again." ”

Because of Du Bo's killing, Guan He was reprimanded by Lin Haotian in the general's mansion, and after the dispersal of the dynasty, he was very depressed, depressed, and sighed for a long time.

When he walked out of the gate of the palace, he just turned around and saw Zhang Hui walking slowly behind him.

Guan He's spirits perked up, he walked forward quickly, and said with his hand, "Mr. Zhang, do you have time now?"

Guan He and Zhang Hui have a close relationship, and he has always regarded the latter as a confidant and think tank, whenever he encounters troubles. The first thing he thought of must have been Zhang Hui.

Zhang Hui had already guessed that Guan He would look for him, he smiled slightly, and said, "There is nothing wrong with my house." ”

"That's right, let's go to the banquet building for a drink!" As he spoke, he pulled Zhang Hui's sleeve and let him into his carriage.

Yanbin Building is a large restaurant in Wancheng. Not long after the new completion, the inside is still brand new, with superior conditions and elegant environment, and it is one of Guanhe's favorite restaurants. When he arrived at the banquet building, he booked a private room with the shopkeeper and chatted with Zhang Hui while drinking inside.

After three glasses of wine, Guan He couldn't hide his thoughts, and began to sigh again and again. He shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Brother Zhang, I am embarrassed this time, I was played by robbers, I think, my status in the hearts of adults has plummeted." ”

When Zhang Hui heard this, he smiled slightly, and said indifferently: "In my opinion, that may not be. ”

Guan He's eyes lit up. Asked in surprise: "Why did Brother Zhang say this?"

Zhang Hui stared at Guan He and asked rhetorically, "So many bandits. With General Guan's ability, he couldn't even catch a single person, does General Guan still think that it was an ordinary robber?"

Guan He's heart moved, and he asked, "What does Brother Zhang mean ......?"

Zhang Hui sighed secretly, such things. Do you still have to explain it yourself? When Wang Yu was able to find Guan He and ask him for help, it shows that these robbers are by no means ordinary robbers, and it stands to reason that since the robbers are extraordinary. Wang Yu should be looking for a demon warrior or a person from the Duwei Battalion, how could he use the regular army? The regular army is not suitable for such a thing.

Speaking of which, Wang Yu deliberately pulled Guan He up, and he didn't expect the Seventh Army to subdue the robbers, moreover, the robbers didn't kill Du Qing, who couldn't do the underworld, but killed Du Bo, who was strong in the underworld, which is too unreasonable, and then think of the fact that the adults used the demon underworld warriors to capture Du Bo not long ago, it is not difficult to speculate that the robbers are likely to be assigned by adults, the kidnapping is fake, and the killing is real.

It's a pity that Guan Hekong has a unique ability, but his mind is so simple.

A person like him, who is brave and invincible and has mediocre talents, who is very happy and full of weaknesses, is too easy to control, how can an adult not like such a person, and how can he not be reused?

"In short, I mean, no matter what happens, no matter how stupid the mistake General Guan makes, as long as his heart for the adults remains the same, the adults will definitely not punish the generals heavily. Zhang Hui said confidently.

His words were like a reassuring pill for Guan He, he breathed a long sigh of relief, and then asked uneasily: "Really?"

"Of course!" Zhang Hui asked with a smile: "When did I deceive the general! The killing of Du Bo this time is not as simple as it seems, there are still many hidden secrets that are not known to the public, and the general does not need to ask more about the inside information, just take a lesson, and try to be a more restrained person in the future, otherwise, he will not even know when he offended someone." ”

"En?" Guan He's eyes rolled and he said suspiciously: "Brother Zhang means that Wang Yu deliberately framed me this time?"

Zhang Hui understood his temper, shook his head again and again, and said with a smile: "Lord Wang is not such a stingy person, and adults are by no means mediocre people. ”

Guan He always felt that Zhang Hui's words were half of what he said and half of what he hid, and he wanted to ask, but Zhang Hui had already drunk with a smile, and he had no intention of talking further, so Guan He had no choice but to give up, but after this conversation with Zhang Hui, his tense nerves finally relaxed.

The case of Du Bo and Du Chong's murder was finally determined to have been committed by a group of lawbreakers, and a series of wanted warrants were issued by the Lieutenant's Office, which can be regarded as a hasty verdict.

Of course, there is no problem with the whole thing on the surface, that is, a kidnapping and murder case in which the kidnappers 'tear the ticket first, and the murder later', and there are soldiers of the Seventh Army at the scene to testify.

Then, Du Qingyi couldn't afford to be ill, so he asked Zhao Yu for leave and recuperated at home, but he never appeared in the court again.

Du Bo's death, Du Qing's serious illness, so that there is no one in the imperial court who is against Lin Haotian, for him, the imperial court is already at ease for him, and the next thing to be eliminated is another culprit, Yang Yuyan. However, Yang Yuyan is the queen, and it takes a lot of effort to get rid of her, and at the same time, you need to wait for the opportunity.

On this day, Lin Haotian had lunch and was walking around the general's mansion, moving his muscles and bones, when a guard came to report that Shao Lin had something to see.

As the leader of the spies of the Golden Kingdom. If there is nothing important, he will not come uninvited, Lin Haotian didn't think much about it, nodded and responded: "Please come over!"

"Yes!" the guard agreed, turning and running away.

It didn't take long, and Shao Lin hurriedly walked over. When Lin Haotian approached, he intervened and said, "My subordinates have seen adults!"

Lin Haotian stood by the pond, holding a handful of fish food in his hand, and asked with a smile while throwing it into the pond, "What's the matter?"

Shao Lin Zhengse said: "The subordinates are here to introduce some talents for adults. ”

"Oh?" This is a rare thing, Shao Lin recommended talents to himself for the first time, he threw away all the remaining fish food in his hands, then clapped his hands and turned around. "What kind of talent?" he asked.

"They are especially good, as for what they are capable of, the adults will know at first sight!" Shao Lin deliberately sold a good man.

Lin Haotian raised his eyebrows, smiled leisurely, and nodded: "Okay!

Shao Lin's face was overjoyed, and he hurriedly replied, "Obey!" He turned around and glanced at his entourage, and the Jin Army spy understood and ran out quickly. After a while, the spies returned. At the same time, he also brought in a man in his twenties and less than thirty.

The man was a burly, tall man, looking at his face, with dark skin, thick eyebrows, ringed eyes, and a lion's nose. Sihaikou, with a rough appearance, exudes a wildness from head to toe, and his dress is indeed wild enough, up and down. It was all fur, with no underwear underneath, revealing large areas of dark and shiny skin.

The most eye-catching thing is that there is also a black eagle standing on his shoulder, the black eagle's claws clasp his shoulder, standing on it, not moving at all, two eagle eyes, shining, when it stares at people, it will make people feel hairy.

Lin Haotian looked the strong man up and down, and saw that he didn't give a salute in front of him, and he didn't mean to report his name and surname, he looked at Shao Lin suspiciously.

Shao Lin also frowned secretly beside him, and reminded in a low voice in an unkind tone: "Mu Ke, when you see an adult, you still don't see the courtesy?"

Hearing him say this, the strong man realized that the young man in front of him who was almost the same age as himself, dressed casually and was not surprising, was Lin Haotian, the commander of the Jin Army.

He was stunned for a moment, then knelt down on one knee and said, "Villain Mu Ke, meet your lord!"

Lin Haotian waved his hand with a smile and said, "Get up!" After a pause, he asked, "Are you Youren?"

"Yes!"

"What did you do in You Country before?" Lin Haotian asked curiously.

"Orion!" Mu Ke replied succinctly, without saying more than half a word.

Lin Haotian smiled, looked at Shao Lin, and asked, "I heard General Shao say, you are a talent, I don't know what is so strange about you?"

"The villain's specialty isβ€”" Mu Ke paused, suddenly raised his hand, pointed to the pond on the side, and shouted in a low voice: "Go!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the black eagle that had been standing on his shoulder spread its wings violently, and let out a piercing chirp, and before the surrounding guards could figure out what was going on, the black eagle had jumped off his shoulder, swooped down, and when it was about to touch the ground, it drew an arc and flew diagonally into the air.

With another chirp, the black eagle soaring in the air swooped down, its body almost parallel to the surface of the pond, and between the walks, the black eagle's claws suddenly stretched out and retracted, and when he flew back to Mu Ke's feet, the eagle's talons had already caught a foot-long koi.

Flying out, soaring, diving, catching fish, the series of actions of the black eagle were done in one go, which was dizzying, and the guards watching around all applauded in their hearts, even Lin Haotian nodded his head.

The wild nature of the eagle is very large, and it is not easy to train the eagle to be so obedient, and it is even more difficult to train the eagle to the extent that it can catch fish. This Youren named Mu Ke is definitely a master of eagle training.

Lin Haotian stepped forward curiously, came to the front of the black eagle, paused, and wanted to reach out to touch it, but the black eagle suddenly chirped at him, and the sharp and hooked eagle beak pecked at his palm.

Mu Ke shouted urgently: "Don't ...... it"

However, the eagle's attack was much faster than his words, fortunately, Lin Haotian's reaction and movements were surprisingly fast, when the eagle's beak was about to peck at his palm, his palm turned slightly, and while avoiding the eagle's beak attack, he also slapped the back of his hand lightly on the top of the black eagle's head, and scolded with a smile: "Little beast, dare to bite?"

The black eagle was hit by Lin Haotian, and immediately spread his wings and made an attack form, Mu Ke drank twice before he stopped it, and hurriedly saluted Lin Haotian backwards: "The beast is untamable, don't be surprised!"

Of course, Lin Haotian would not be angry because of a falcon, he smiled indifferently and didn't say anything, but he felt quite strange in his heart, although this Mu Ke is a master of falconry, what use is it to himself? Shao Lin recommended him to himself, he wouldn't watch him perform when he had nothing to do, right?

He turned his head and asked Shao Lindao, "Didn't you say that you wanted to recommend some people?

Without waiting for Shao Lin to speak, Mu Ke replied first: "The others are all villains, because there are a lot of people, so the villains didn't let them in." ”

Lin Haotian asked, "What are they capable of ......?"

"Like the villain, they have learned the ability to steer falcons since they were young. Mu Ke said proudly: "Because everyone in our clan knows how to falcon, we have the least number of people in the area, but we are the richest, and we bring back the most game every time we come back from hunting." ”

What can this be? It's just that you can eat a few more meals of meat and exchange a few more copper coins than others! Lin Haotian smiled secretly in his heart, but his face was impassive, and he looked at Shao Lin again, but his brows were already slightly furrowed. (To be continued......)
