Chapter 598: Receiving the Order

The team carrying grain and grass drove day and night for four days, and both men and horses were already tired enough.

Seeing that it was dark, the accompanying supervisor took the initiative to propose to the king of Langjun.

"Your Royal Highness, if you continue like this, I'm afraid that the horses won't be able to stand it, so it's better for us to camp on the spot tonight and rest for the night, and it's not too late to hurry tomorrow at dawn." new

Xiao Ti glanced at the dim sky, and then at the horses that were trembling and panting heavily, bowed slightly, and agreed to the Inspector's proposal.

Knowing that we could finally rest tonight, everyone was very happy, and they were busy setting up camp and lighting a fire to cook.

In the dead of night, everyone was asleep soundly, except for the few soldiers who were in charge of the night.

The camp was silent, except for the rustle of leaves as the cold wind blew.

At this moment, Xiao Ti suddenly opened his eyes.

He heard footsteps approaching outside the tent, and immediately sat up, looked in the direction of the door, and asked in a deep voice.

"Who?"

After a while, the voice of the supervisor came in: "His Royal Highness the King of Qiyu County, someone has come to the palace, saying that the emperor has something to order you, please go and receive the decree immediately."

Xiao Ti casually pulled his coat and put it on his body, picked up the no-return knife erected next to the bed, and strode out of the camp.

The cold wind blew in his face, blowing the hem of his clothes to the sound of hunting.

He asked, looking at the respectful-looking prosecutor in front of him.

"Did you say anything?"

Inspector: "I don't know what the specific matter is, but looking at the expressions of those people, it should be a very important matter, and I hope you will come over quickly, don't delay the time."

Xiao Ti: "Where are they?"

Inspector: "They are in front, please follow the subordinates."

Xiao Ti instructed the two shadow guards standing by the tent.

"Go and wake them all, and go with the king to receive the commandment."

The inspector hurriedly said, "No, the person who delivered the decree has specially told him that this decree is confidential and must not be known to outsiders, and I hope that His Royal Highness the King of the County will not publicize it widely."

Xiao Ti looked at him deeply.

The supervisor was furious when he saw it, and subconsciously shrunk his neck.

"His Royal Highness the King of the County should not be surprised, the lower officials are also acting on orders."

Xiao Ti turned to the two shadow guards and ordered, "Go and call Meng Xizhou over."

"Whoa!"

The inspector wanted to say something, his lips opened, and when he touched Xiao Ti's cold and sharp gaze, he closed his mouth stupidly, and the words that came to his mouth were swallowed back.

In just a moment, Meng Xizhou hurried over.

Because he came in such a hurry, he didn't even tie the straps of his clothes, and his hair was messy.

"What does His Royal Highness command?"

Xiao Ti: "The emperor sent someone to send a holy decree, and you go with this king to receive the decree."

Meng Xizhou didn't think much about it, and hurriedly responded, "Okay."

He straightened his clothes and hair as he followed behind King Langjun.

A group of three walked through the night, braving the cold wind.

Seeing that he was about to walk out of the camp, Meng Xizhou couldn't help but ask.

"Why don't they go into the camp when they want to give the Divine Decree?"

The Ombudsman walked at the front with a lantern.

Without looking back, he explained, "This is a secret order, and I know that the fewer people the better, and there are many people in the camp, and it would be bad if the news leaked out. They are waiting for His Highness near the camp, and they will leave when the decree is delivered."

Meng Xizhou muttered in his heart, thinking that this thing was strange.

But seeing that there was no difference in the face of King Langjun, he didn't say anything more and followed honestly.

The three of them walked out of the camp and walked a short and long way through the woods, when they saw the person who had given the decree in the mouth of the Inspector.

There were more than 20 people on the other side, all wearing armor and carrying weapons, and the leader was a burly general.

Xiao Ti knew the general, and opened his mouth.

"General Dou, don't come unharmed."

General Dou cleared his throat: "Time is urgent, it's not too late to greet after finishing business, and the king of Langjun still kneels down to listen to the order?"

With that, he pulled out a thin silk silk from his sleeve.

Xiao Ti and Meng Xizhou knelt on one knee and lowered their heads.

General Dou unfolded the silk silk and read slowly: "Someone has reported that the king of Langjun abused his power, used the public for personal gain, and framed Zhongliang, and after investigation, the situation is true, and the crime is extremely unforgivable, and he is hereby ordered to be killed on the spot, and I hereby order to kill him on the spot, and I here!"

Meng Xizhou raised his head sharply and shouted in disbelief.

"It can't be! Without evidence and no certificate, why should the emperor convict the king of Langjun?!"

General Dou sneered, "Are you questioning the emperor's decision? Do you still want to resist the decree?"

Meng Xizhou wanted to say something, but was pressed down by Xiao Ti raising his hand.

Xiao Ti's expression was calm: "The king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die, since the emperor is determined to take the life of the minister, the minister can only accept his fate."

General Dou: "I hope that the king of Langjun will hand over the saber on your body."

With that, he glanced at the two soldiers beside him.

The two soldiers immediately strode forward and walked in front of Xiao Ti.

Xiao Ti took off the no-return knife he wore at his waist and offered it with both hands.

Just as the soldiers reached for their knives, Xiao Ti jerked out the sheaths.

I saw a snow-white cold light flashing.

The two soldiers had more deep wounds on their necks that could be seen to the bone.

Blood splattered out!

Before the two soldiers could scream, they fell straight down with their eyes wide open, and they were already breathless.

General Dou was shocked: "Xiao Ti, how dare you?!"

Xiao Ti stood up, his eyes condensed with ice.

"Along the way, you're the one who keeps assassinating this king, right?"

General Dou's eyes dodged, and he loudly denied, "What nonsense are you talking about? How could I do such a thing?!"

In fact, he did assassinate Xiao Ti several times along the way, but each time he failed.

You can't blame him for not having the ability, it's really Xiao Ti that this person's martial arts are too high.

The people he sent were not even able to touch the corners of Xiao Ti's clothes, not even the corners of Xiao Ti's clothes.

Later, he also thought about using poisoning and the like.

However, Xiao Ti did not eat anything other than the dry food and water he carried, so that General Dou could not find an opportunity to take advantage of it at all.

There was really no way, General Dou could only change his strategy.

Since the dark is not good, then the bright one.

In the name of receiving orders, he lured Xiao Ti here, intending to deal with him here.

General Dou knew that this was his last chance, and if he couldn't kill Xiao Ti tonight, then the mission given to him by the emperor would be a complete failure.

When he returns to Yujing, the emperor will definitely not spare him.

He gritted his teeth and turned his heart sideways.

"Okay, you are tired, not only resisting the decree, but also killing people in public, you are really bold and reckless, and you have no law! General Ben will take your life tonight!"

With that, he swung his knife and cut the rope tied to the trunk of the tree beside him.

The rope broke suddenly, and the net hanging from the branches fell, covering Xiao Ti and Meng Xizhou!
