Volume 3: Chapter 7: The Soldiers Are Divided into Two Paths (1)
Seeing that their companions didn't even have the strength to fight back, the masked people on guard in the middle of the alley panicked one by one, at this time there was nothing more important than their lives, and a few people ran away and ran towards the outside of the alley.
It's just that Dong Canghai and the others got Fang Ling's order, and they didn't leave a single living mouth, and chased after them, and when they came out of the alley, several people lost their lives!
At this time, the screams of one of them also led the soldiers patrolling in front of them, and when the soldiers ran quickly, they suddenly saw Fang Ling standing with a knife and a masked man who fell to the ground and died.
The little leader suddenly panicked, hesitated for a moment before recognizing Fang Ling, and hurriedly saluted: "I've seen Your Highness!"
Fang Ling smiled lightly and put away his knife, and said to him, "Why don't you go and tell General Ma that there are assassins in the city." ”
"Yes!" the little leader hurriedly responded, and at the same time pointed to one of his subordinates and said, "Go and tell the general, and the rest of the people will be here with me to protect the safety of His Highness!"
Fang Ling smiled faintly and nodded towards Dong Canghai and the others, and Dong Canghai and the others immediately returned to the building to prevent an emergency.
It didn't take long for General Ma and a group of soldiers to come in a hurry, he saw Fang Ling standing at the entrance of the alley from a distance, and then looked at the dead masked man at his feet, his brows couldn't help frowning, things were obviously too far from estimated.
However, he was a person who was very deep in the city, so he quickly calmed down, and after hurrying over, he said with a panicked face: "Your Highness, are you okay?"
Fang Ling looked at his expression playfully, and said slowly: "I'm fine, but I didn't expect this dignified Qingshuiguan Fortress to break into so many thieves, if this reaches the ears of my father, I don't know how General Ma will explain?"
Ma Kai's face changed when he heard this, not to mention that this Qingshui Pass was a fortress place, and it was suspected of dereliction of duty to infiltrate the assassins, and these people were still coming towards the King of Shicheng.
Although there is an order from Queen Song, the queen's idea does not represent the emperor's idea, the so-called dog fight also depends on the master, the emperor doesn't like this son very much, but this son is the identity of the king, and doing it to him is equivalent to dealing with the royal family. If the emperor is really angry, then he may not be able to sit firmly in the position of general.
He hurriedly apologized: "Your Highness is angry, the minister is indeed derelict in his duties, but recently I have received a report that there are thieves killing people and plundering money around, it must be that we missed the inspection when we greeted His Highness today." I thought that His Royal Highness and Niangniang liked to be pure, and they didn't send anyone to guard them, but I didn't expect them to take the opportunity to dare to do something to His Highness, it's a crime that deserves death!"
Fang Ling secretly said that the guy's brain turned fast, and secretly pushed the responsibility on himself, but he was innocent, but Fang Ling also saw that it was good, after all, this is still in Qingshui Pass, and it would not be good if this guy was forced to jump over the wall in a hurry, so he said lightly: "Forget it, since I have nothing to do with the queen mother, forget about this matter, but please send more people to stay here, I still want to sleep peacefully." ”
Ma Kai said yes again and again, and when he saw Fang Ling leaving, he began to order the soldiers to clean up the corpses, but as soon as he saw the corpses carried out, his heart couldn't help but sink.
None of the thirty or so people survived, and the fatal wounds of each corpse were on the neck, and there were no other wounds on the body.
