Chapter 490: Self-directed and self-acted

"Rest and wound General Liu-" As Guan He shouted, the long knife in his hand flashed brightly, the long knife suddenly grew three feet, and the blade of the knife emitted a trace of dark energy.

With a knife in both hands, he slashed out horizontally in the air, only to hear a roar, and the conjured virtual knife slashed through the air, making a ghostly howl like a howl.

The eight Assassins never dreamed that Guan He would surprise their killers, and when they reacted, the Void Knife was already flying in front of them.

The four assassins hurriedly parried, and the four long swords were in unison to fend off the Void Blade.

A series of crisp sounds were heard in the ear chakra, and the four long swords that resisted the false knife were shattered by the impact, and the four assassins flew out upside down together towards the golden kite with broken threads, and after landing, they looked at the four of them again, the armor on their chests was shattered, and the wounds that could reach the bones were across their chests, and blood gushed out.

The other four Assassins were shocked and shouted in unison, "Guan He, you ......"

Without giving them a chance to speak, Guan He picked up his long knife and slashed at them again.

The huge and terrifying void knife smashed down diagonally from the air, and the air pressure generated when it fell rolled up the dirt on the ground.

For a while, sand and rocks flew in the woods, screaming again and again.

Under Guan He's all-out onslaught to complete this series, three of the remaining four assassins fell in the blink of an eye, covered in blood wrenched by the air flow, and were killed on the spot, although the assassin had not yet fallen, but the whole person was already frightened stupid, and when the dust cleared, he suddenly screamed, turned around and ran, and rushed into the depths of the dense forest.

At this time, Zhang Shun, Wu Tao and many guards had chased after them, and when people saw the corpses all over the ground and Liu Dong trapped in the net, they were all shocked and shouted: "This ...... What's going on?"

"There are assassins in ambush in the woods. I'll go after the enemy, you save General Liu quickly!" Guan He was willing to let go of the fleeing assassin, as long as he was left alive, the matter would be revealed, and then not only would he be finished, but Zhang Hui would also be implicated.

He threw down a sentence. Urging the horse to chase in the direction of the Assassin's escape.

Zhang Shun and Wu Tao hurriedly dismounted, first used their long swords to break through the big net, and then pulled out Liu Dong, who was trapped inside.

Seeing that Liu Dong was intact and uninjured, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, Zhang Shun and Wu Tao ordered the guards to disperse and set up defenses around, while bowing to Liu Dong and said in a trembling voice: "I'm too late." Frightened the general!"

The frightened Liu Dong behaved very calmly, he first gathered his armor slowly and methodically, and took advantage of the time to calm down his emotions as soon as possible.

He took a deep breath, looked up into the woods, and said, "I'm fine! This time, thanks to the general, if he hadn't arrived in time, I'm afraid I'd ...... Go and pick up General Guan, and don't let him fall into an assassin ambush. ”

After listening to Liu Dong's words. Zhang Shun and Wu Tao both responded, and Zhang Shun stayed behind to protect Liu Dong. Wu Tao got on the horse and prepared to pick up Yingguanhe.

He ran out of two steps before he saw Guan He running back from the depths of the dense forest on horseback, holding a knife in one hand and a bloody human head in the other.

"General Guan?" Wu Tao hurriedly stepped forward.

"The Assassins confessed that they were knights of the Red Kingdom. There are also accomplices in the city, General Wu, you are here to protect the lady, I will enter the city first and eradicate the rest of the assassins!" Guan He threw the head in his hand to Wu Tao, and then urged the horse to run out of the woods.

Wu Tao took the severed head, looked at it twice with disgust, and threw it into the pile of assassins' corpses.

Seeing Guan He leaving in a hurry, Liu Dong asked, "Where is General Guan going?"

General Guan said that there were still remnants of the Assassins in the city, and he went into the city first to encircle and suppress them. Wu Tao didn't know if what Guan He said was true or not, after such a while, he not only caught up with the assassin, but also forced the assassin to confess to his comrades, which was also incredible.

After hearing this, Liu Dong nodded, looked at the people around him, and said: "We can't let General Guan go on an adventure alone, let's go, let's go back to the city, I want to see what the origin of these assassins who want to assassinate me is!"

Wu Tao hurriedly said: "Lord Liu, we still don't know about the situation of the assassins, or ...... It's better not to go back to the city yet. ”

Liu Dong snorted and pouted, "The general is not afraid of them! Don't be wordy, come with me!"

He ignored Wu Tao's dissuasion and returned to Wancheng with many guards. He had horses, but many of the guards were on foot, and there was a long delay in running back to Wancheng from here.

When they returned, Guan He had already led the Fourth Army to kill the nine dead soldiers of the Red Kingdom who were ambushed in the teahouse.

There were a total of twenty-one assassins who assassinated Liu Dong this time, of which 12 were ambushed in the wild hunting place, and the other nine were ambushed in the teahouse, which was also a double insurance set by Guan He in advance.

It's a pity that these nine people didn't wait for Liu Dong, who returned from hunting, but waited for Guan He, the deadly killing god.

Guan He arranged for an elite of the Fourth Legion to patrol outside the city early, and when he returned to Wancheng, he happened to meet the elite of the Fourth Legion, and naturally took them into the city to besiege the assassins he arranged in the teahouse.

He had no intention of staying alive at all, and gave a death order to his subordinates of the Fourth Legion, preferring to kill all the assassins rather than let a single person go.

He was the deputy commander of the Fourth Legion, and the assassins were also bold enough to assassinate Liu Dong, how could the Fourth Legion have mercy? After arriving at the teahouse, the soldiers of the Fourth Legion immediately surrounded him, without saying a word, first there was a flurry of arrows, and the ordinary tea guests in the teahouse all became the burial objects of the assassins, counting the managers and men in the teahouse, a total of 26 people, and in the end, no one survived, either died from the flying arrows, or was killed by Guan He and others who rushed in.

When Liu Dong and the others rushed back, they saw that Guan He was directing the soldiers of the Fourth Army to move the corpses out of the teahouse, many of which had been shot like hedgehogs, and their bodies were covered with dense carvings.

Seeing this, everyone's faces changed, and Liu Dong urged him to step forward and asked, "General Guan, what's going on?"

"Back to Lord Liu, the remnants of the assassins are ambushed in this teahouse, and they have now been killed by the generals......"

Before he could finish his sentence, several soldiers of the Fourth Legion ran over with nine repeater crossbows in their hands, and said urgently: "General, this is from the corpse!" Another person held a pile of crossbow arrows and said, "These arrows have been quenched with poison." ”

Guan He picked one up casually, looked at the blue arrows on it, slammed it to the ground, and roared indignantly: "The assassin is rampant, bold, and unforgivable!"

Zhang Shun and Wu Tao were also secretly speechless, and secretly said that it was very dangerous! Fortunately, Guan He forced a confession in time and found out these assassins lurking in the city.

The two of them bowed their hands to Guan He and said, "General Guan, this time it's thanks to you, otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable!"

Guan He said solemnly: "It is also the duty of the subordinates to eliminate the assassins and protect the generals!"

The assassin was dead, and none of them were alive, Liu Dong was not interested in the corpses all over the ground, and he said a little tiredly: "General Guan, send me home!"

Although it was just an understatement, Guan He could feel that Liu Dong had looked at him differently.

His face was straight, and he hurriedly bowed down and said, "Yes, my lord!" After speaking, he left the officers and soldiers of the Fourth Army to clean up the scene, and he escorted Liu Dong back to the General's Mansion.

Liu Dong's assassination, although it was not dangerous, still caused Wancheng to set off a stormy wave.

Recently, Wancheng has been calm, who would have thought that the once rampant assassins have made a comeback, and the target of the assassination has passed the ministers of the court and pointed directly at the envoys of the Yan Kingdom.

Not to mention that Lin Hao's weather was annoying, even the guards and lieutenants' mansions in Wancheng felt that they could not escape the blame, and in the next few days, Wancheng became extremely tense, even in broad daylight, groups of Jin troops could be seen everywhere in the city checking suspicious people from house to house.

The assassins assassinated Liu Dong, and the consequences were serious, but Guan He's purpose was achieved.

After this incident, Liu Dong had great trust in Guan He, and also praised his martial arts, and what surprised Liu Dong was that Guan He was not brave and resourceful, he was smart and flexible, especially in military affairs, he was thorough at one point, and he could draw inferences from one another.

Liu Dong explained the characteristics and tactics of the heavy cavalry to Guan He, Zhang Shun, and Wu Tao, and often only halfway through the speech, Guan He understood, while Zhang Shun and Wu Tao had to wait for him to finish talking and then explain in detail before they could completely figure it out.

In Liu Dong's view, Guan He is a natural general, and it is perfectly suitable for him to serve as the commander of the heavy cavalry corps. (To be continued......)
