Chapter 172: Assassination

The Zhangji Grocery Store in Baishui County was newly opened a year ago and is located in the most lively street market in Baishui County. Maybe because the weather was too cold, business was very bad at this time, there was not a single customer in the store, and the guy was sitting in it bored and dozing off, when a bearded man suddenly walked into the store.

"What do you want to buy, sir?" Seeing the guests coming, the guy immediately greeted him and said with a smile.

"A few days ago, I asked the shopkeeper Liu to bring the black bear skin, and yesterday he sent someone to say that it had arrived, and I came to see it today." The bearded man raised his head and said to the shopkeeper.

"Oh, I heard Shopkeeper Liu say, Your Excellency, please!" Hearing the words of the bearded man, the man immediately showed joy and welcomed the man inside.

The man with the bearded man scurried through several rooms, and finally came to the innermost room, where several people were already waiting.

This bearded man is Ye Ying after disguise, and this Zhangji grocery store is a point set up by Zhang Fu and his son here, in addition to some money earned by the Eagle Army from their weekday operations. He also has another important function, which is an intelligence station of the Flame Eagle Army in Whitewater County.

And the conversation between Ye Ying and his buddies in the store before was a code word set in advance.

"My subordinates have seen Eagle Shuai!" When Ye Ying took off the disguise on his body, everyone present recognized his true identity and hurriedly stood up and saluted.

These subordinates of the Fierce Eagle Army hidden in the Zhangji grocery store were indeed good at finding out the news, and it only took half a day to find out many things about Hu Lianshan, the overseer of the Baishui Battalion.

"Report to the big boss, after this Hu Lianshan arrived at the Baishui camp, he rarely left the camp on weekdays, so it was very difficult to get rid of him. However, this man is very lustful, and every three or five days he will go to the Spring Moon Tower in the county, and his favorite girl is the White Jasmine of the Spring Moon Tower. The shopkeeper of Zhang Ji's grocery store is also the person in charge of this intelligence station, and reported to Ye Ying in a low voice.

"If you want to go to the barracks to get rid of it, it's almost impossible, it seems that we will only be able to leave the barracks and go to the Spring Moon Tower." Hearing the words of the grocery store shopkeeper, Ye Ying nodded and said.

"But Hu Lianshan is very afraid of death, every time he goes out, he has to bring at least one or two hundred guards, these guards are still selected by him from the camp center, and the kung fu is very good, if you want to kill Hu Lianshan in the heavy protection of these parts, it is not easy." The grocery store shopkeeper said again.

"Is there a big chance to do it in the Spring Moon Tower?" Ye Ying asked.

"At present, there are more people in the building in the spring moon, and the terrain is also very complicated, so it is a good place to do it. But we can think of it, and Hu Lianshan must also be able to think of it, so the protection level here must not be low. "The shopkeeper of this grocery store is obviously a man with a brain, and his analysis is very reasonable.

"You go and check out the route of this way, give me a detailed route map, and I'll think about the best plan." After listening to the grocery store shopkeeper, Ye Ying thought carefully and said.

Speaking of which, Ye Ying's luck is quite good, the day after he lived in Baishui County, the subordinates he sent found out the news, and in the afternoon of the same day, Hu Liancai would go to the Chunyue Tower in the county seat and meet his good friend Bai Jasmine.

However, there is also a bad luck aspect, this time I went to the Spring Moon Tower with Hu Liancai, and there was also a deputy general in the barracks, so the defense level increased, and what was even more troublesome was that this deputy general himself was a third-grade martial artist.

"It's done, wealth and danger are sought!" After careful consideration, I finally made up my mind, because if this opportunity was missed, it would be several more days to wait.

Hu Liancai has been in a good mood in the past few months, although he is only a five-grade civil official, but he is a close confidant of an important minister in the court, and this time it is very beautiful to get this prison envoy. The general who led the army in the large battalion, although he was in a higher position than himself, had to act according to his own eyes, which greatly satisfied his vanity.

I thought that there was nothing that attracted me in the remote county of Baishui, but I met such a stunning woman as Bai Jasmine, which made Hu Liancai very satisfied, and he felt a sense of joy.

In order to tie up Hu Liancai, the leading general simply wrapped up the white jasmine in Chunyue Building for him, so that he could enjoy the feeling of visiting the Qinglou at public expense. This person, Hu Liancai, felt that life in Baishui County was much better than in Jinling City.

However, Hu Liancai also knows that he has offended many people over the years, and many people are thinking about how to kill themselves all day long, so every time he goes out, he puts safety first.

From the military camp on the outskirts of the county town to the Chunyue Tower, there is a distance of more than ten miles, and all the accompanying soldiers are very vigilant.

The distance of more than ten miles is not too far, but the whole team walked for nearly an hour for Hu Lian in the carriage not to be bumpy, and nothing abnormal happened along the way, which made everyone feel a lot more relieved.

After arriving at the Spring Moon Tower, all the guards became nervous, because there were too many people in this place, and if someone wanted to do it, it was the most likely to make a move here.

Therefore, after these guards arrived at the Chunyue Tower, the first thing they did was to surround the place, and the white jasmine room of the Chunyue Tower, first conducted a careful search, and then there were more than twenty of the best guards standing outside.

Seeing these guards who were waiting for him, Hu Liancai completely relieved himself and happily entered Bai Jasmine's room, where he stayed for more than two hours.

By the time Hu Lianshan came out of Bai Jasmine's room satisfied, it was already two hours later, and the lieutenant who was traveling with him had already finished his exercise and was waiting outside.

The most dangerous moment had passed, and when they returned, the vigilance of the accompanying soldiers had been lowered considerably, especially when they were out of the county seat, only two or three miles away from the barracks, and the nervous mood of everyone was completely relaxed.

But it's normal to think about it, it's only two or three miles away from the barracks, and in the event of any accidents, the soldiers in the barracks only need a cup of tea to arrive, and no guy who doesn't open his eyes will choose to do it here.

But what none of the soldiers expected was that today they would indeed meet a group of blind guys.

As the whole team was moving forward, they had just turned an intersection when a fallen tree suddenly appeared on the road ahead, blocking the road ahead. Fortunately, the cavalry at the front reacted quickly, and even if he reined in the reins of the horse, it did not cause the situation of people turning over on their backs.

Several soldiers hurriedly dismounted, preparing to move the fallen tree on the road, when suddenly several arrows shot out of the grass beside the road, and two soldiers immediately fell to the ground with arrows.

"Someone is sneak attacking, hurry up to protect Lord Hu." The adjutant general who accompanied him had a lot of combat experience and immediately gave the order.

However, before these soldiers could make a move, more than a dozen masked black-clothed men suddenly emerged from the grass, and as soon as these black-clothed men appeared, they quickly rushed to the carriage in which Hu Liancai was riding.

"Quick, protect Lord Hu!" If something happens to Hu Liancai in front of his eyes, I'm afraid this head won't be able to be saved, thinking of this, the deputy general immediately shouted loudly.

After saying this, the deputy general also rushed to Hu Liancai's carriage for the first time, and in a blink of an eye, he took a photo with the man in black who rushed first, and the two quickly fought together.

And at this moment, the rest of the men in black rushed over, they all had good skills, and it didn't take long for several officers and soldiers to be killed by the men in black.

But all the officers and soldiers present knew that Hu Liancai must not be allowed to have trouble, so they did not retreat a single step and blocked the way of the man in black.

More and more officers and soldiers rushed over, and soon there was a tendency to surround all the men in black, and Hu Lian in the carriage secretly opened the curtain of the carriage, and when he saw this situation, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Catch them all for me, I want to see which blind guy wants Lao Tzu's life." Seeing that it was already safe, Hu Liancai's courage also increased, and he shouted loudly in the carriage.

"The wind is tight, pull it!" The leader of the men in black also saw that the situation was not good, and immediately gave the order to retreat, and these men in black were obviously also well-trained, and soon abandoned their opponents and rushed out of the mouth where the officers and soldiers were about to surround them.

"Catch them for me, and catch them!" Seeing that the man in black wanted to escape, Hu Liancai shouted loudly in the carriage again.

The lieutenant general knew that once he caught these men in black, he would have made a great contribution, and when the general returned to Jinling and said a few kind words in front of those big people in the capital, he would have an official road unblocked.

In this case, the deputy general quickly made arrangements and sent a large number of soldiers to chase in the direction where the man in black left. At the same time, he summoned another soldier and let him. Return to the barracks as quickly as possible to report the news, and ask the camp to send a large number of people to encircle and suppress these black-clothed people who are trying to escape.

"My lord, let's go back to the barracks first, and we will go all out to catch these guys who are trying to kill you." After arranging everything, the lieutenant general came to Hu Liancai's carriage again and said with a flattering face.

"Okay, let's go back first, tell your people to work harder, and we must catch these people." After listening to the lieutenant's words, Hu Liancai didn't even open the curtain, and said lazily inside.

In fact, in terms of job grade, this deputy general and Hu Liancai are at the same level, but Hu Liancai's shelf is very big, and this deputy general takes it for granted, who calls the other party a cronie of a big man in the capital?

Seeing that Hu Liancai agreed to his suggestion, the adjutant general immediately gave an order, and some soldiers were busy cleaning up the battlefield. The soldiers in front of them moved the tree that was blocking the road, preparing to let Hu Liancai's carriage pass through here and return to the barracks.

Several soldiers hurriedly moved the tree in the middle of the road, and the adjutant general escorted Hu Liancai's carriage to pass through here, but saw a man wearing a hat in front of him standing in the middle of the road, blocking everyone's way.

"Who are you? Dare to block Lord Hu's carriage, are you tired of it? Seeing the appearance of the person who came clearly, the deputy general immediately pulled out a short knife from his waist and scolded the other party.

"Of course I still want to live, but someone may not be able to leave alive today." The mysterious man standing in the middle of the road lifted the hat on his head, revealing a young and handsome face.

"Are you Ye Ying?" It was the appearance of a young man who appeared in front of him, and the general couldn't help but let out an exclamation.
