Chapter 131: Golden Wolf Head, Crescent Scimitar
Harry's sleeve arrows were close and powerful.
Yao Siniang never expected that there would be such a strong internal strength among the killers.
Her entire body was hit by the internal force attached to the arrow, and she fell backwards, and her upper body almost bent backwards onto the horse's back.
If it weren't for her legs clinging to the horse's belly, she almost fell off the horse.
But Harry Yong only had time to throw this arrow.
When he returned to his cage arm and was about to throw out the second arrow, Zheng Yunfei's feather arrow was already flying.
"Whoosh..."
As long as he could hear the sound of the feather arrows breaking through the air, Harry Yong knew that this was a hard stubble with deep internal skills and had been immersed in archery for a long time.
Among the opponents that Harry Yong has encountered in the more than ten years since his debut, there should be only a handful of people who can have such archery power.
With Zheng Yunfei's cover, Yao Siniang took the opportunity to sit up, she "choked...", the saber on her waist came out of the sheath, and the cold light flashed.
After a few moves, there was already an attachment to the head of the body separation.
Seeing this, Harry drew his golden wolf-headed scimitar and flew forward to catch the terrible man in black.
"Quickly withdraw..."In the fierce battle, he did not forget to roar, telling the other appendages to withdraw from the battle as soon as possible, so as not to be stuck by the three men in black.
What he is most worried about now is whether there are still a large number of reinforcements behind the three men in black.
If that's the case, you're in big trouble.
Zuo Qing had already put away his bow and arrows and drew his saber.
He saw that the killer who was fighting with Yao Siniang was very fierce, so he joined the battle array.
Zheng Yunfei was about to step forward to pursue, when a burst of feather arrows hit him, and he had to lie on his horse and fall to the ground to avoid it.
Harry Yong, who had fought with Yao Siniang and Zuo Qing for more than a dozen moves, knew that a long battle was not good for him, so he jumped out of the battle formation with a flaw.
Zuo Qing was about to step forward when he caught a glimpse of his opponent's sleeve.
"Be careful..."
With Yao Siniang's exclamation, a sleeve arrow struck, hitting Zuo Qing's right arm, and the long knife in his hand fell to the ground in pain.
Yao Siniang drew her bow and arrows, and Harry Yong had already rushed out dozens of steps away and hid into the night.
"Stop chasing."
When Zheng Yun leaped onto the war horse and wanted to catch up, he was stopped by Yao Siniang.
She is well versed in these more than ten killers, all of them are strong in martial arts, and they are by no means ordinary swordsmen or officials and soldiers of the Metropolitan Protectorate.
And the three people who were killed were completely unguarded and killed by them.
If you continue to fight, you must be killed next on your own side.
It's just that the other party wants to get out in a hurry and has no intention of fighting.
……
Before the fifth watch of the next day, Yizhou City.
In the second-floor quiet room in the backyard of Jiangnan Spring.
Yao Siniang, who hurried back from Wu Village, knocked on Chen Jingnong with a face blackened by the smoke and fire.
"Big brother, I missed..."
After Chen Jingnong heard the details, his eyebrows were also tightly locked.
He paced back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back, and sighed:
"It's because my brother underestimated the opponent and overestimated Wu Peifan, I didn't expect him to be so lacking in strategy, so reckless that he was wiped out, and he also made this seat lose an important internal response in the Anxi Protectorate."
"Big brother, what should we do next?"
"Senior sister, the current situation is very unfavorable to us, we can only stand still, bear with it first, wait for Guo Wei's army to come to Yizhou, let's try to get close to him, and provide him with some clues, let him send someone down to investigate, like this kind of tragedy, and related to arms smuggling, he will definitely be interested."
"This newly appointed Cao Zhiping, the chief general of the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, is not a legendary scholar at all, just with these few tricks he played, he can easily control the six thousand elite cavalry of the main force of the garrison, which shows that he is not simple."
Chen Jingnong said worriedly.
"But eldest brother, Siniang doesn't understand a little, that Vice General Wu was only beaten with forty military sticks and suspended at home, why did Cao Zhiping suddenly send someone to destroy the door? It would have been easy to kill him on the spot that day. Yao Siniang wondered.
"It's a good guess in front of this, Cao Zhiping wants to control the military power of the entire Anxi Protectorate, it's a clear thing, the first battalion of the garrison is the focus, Wu Peifan is only a stepping stone, and it doesn't have to be killed if he is moved away, as for the cause of the extermination incident last night, Brother Wei hasn't come up with a reason yet."
Chen Jingnong rubbed his temples and said in a deep voice.
"Oh yes, big brother, the killer who slaughtered the village last night was a Turkic warrior, all of them were strong in martial arts, and they were attached to the khan's tent."
Yao Siniang said.
"What? Turkic attachment ions? ”
After hearing this, Chen Jingnong turned around suddenly, staring at Yao Siniang with blazing eyes, his face solemn.
"Hmm... There's nothing wrong with that..."
Yao Siniang said, stretching out her hand back.
Zheng Yunfei, who was standing behind her, presented three crescent scimitars carved with golden wolf heads in both hands.
This is the only physical evidence left at the scene.
On the hilt of the crescent scimitar, a hollow golden wolf head is carved, which is the symbol of the most elite warrior of the Turks, the Great Tent of the Khan.
A one-of-a-kind label, supreme samurai glory.
I don't know if the Turks are used to using the crescent scimitar, or if Hariyong is too confident.
He thought that with the skill of attaching ions, even if they encountered some resistance in the middle, they could not have casualties, and they would not leave physical evidence behind.
It is the man who is not as good as the sky.
However, they encountered a master like Yao Siniang, which can be regarded as careless Jingzhou and left behind key physical evidence.
Wu Peifan is just a partial general of the border army, and he is insignificant.
The Turks worked so hard that they sent the most elite warriors to assassinate him more than 100 miles deep into the hinterland, and also destroyed his entire family.
Apparently hired murderers.
The suspect behind the scenes is Cao Zhiping.
As for the sudden murderous intent after half a month, this can only show that they found that Wu Peifan still has some clues related to the arms transaction, and is ready to continue to expose them.
Chen Jingnong has been engaged in espionage work for a long time, and it is easy to deduce conclusions.
He is good at intelligence analysis and logical reasoning, and he is also more accurate in grasping the current situation and people's hearts.
Yao Siniang and the others nodded again and again when they heard this.
"The three golden wolf-headed scimitars left by the Turks, this is the most favorable physical evidence, we can use it completely, let Guo Wei deal with Cao Fu, it is best for them to fight."
Thinking of this, Chen Jingnong clenched his fists and was quite excited, as if he saw the two of them fighting each other.
"Big brother, what should we do next?" Yao Siniang asked.
"Watch what happens, and be careful!"
Chen Jingnong's eyes were blazing, he was already thinking about countermeasures, "Senior sister, Guo Wei's army is carrying a lot of baggage, marching slowly, they are going to reach Yizhou, I'm afraid it is the cold winter period in mid-November, this period is a gap period, before the heavy snow closes the mountain, you can go back to Eagle Claw Ridge first, and accompany Master and Mother for a while." ”
Yao Siniang's jaw said yes.
She hadn't been back to Eagle Claw Ridge for a year, and her mother was sick.
Walking to the next bathroom, she went to boil water for a bath.
A cup of tea.
In the dim sky, lightning and thunder suddenly roared.
"Tick... Tick..."
Countless raindrops fell from the sky and slapped on the tiles of the eaves.
This heavy rain is a precursor to the early winter in the Western Regions, bringing people a cold feeling.
Chen Jingnong stood in front of the window, thinking about it.
As early as two months ago, he received a secret order from the sect master of the Jiangzuo League.
Above says:
Find out the secret vaults, underground military vaults, and evidence of the Cao clan's collaboration with the enemy in the western Xinjiang, and make them public in due course, so as to force them to raise troops and rebel at an early date.
Chen Jingnong understood that this was the strategy of the Jiangzuo League, which had persisted in assassination, discord, and rebellion, and deliberately created internal and external troubles since its founding.
For more than ten years, countless assassinations have been carried out against the imperial Yuan clan and the Cao Mansion.
But all ended in failure.
How many righteous people of the Jiangzuo League have sacrificed their lives for this.
There have also been many times of rebellion and internal strife and external troubles, with little effect.
Countless failures and the pain of losing their loved ones hung over their heads like dark clouds.
It can't go on like this.
The current Finale Empire is too strong, and these actions can't shake the foundation of the Finale.
Jiang Zuo League needs to have its own army and territory, recruit strong warriors and soldiers, and lay down well to preserve its strength and wait for the best opportunity.
This kind of thought has sprung up in Chen Jingnong's mind countless times, but he can't convince most of the elders in the alliance.
The hatred of the ruined country and the destruction of the family, the noble lords between the north and the south, and the mutual discrimination for hundreds of thousands of years are deeply rooted.
In particular, he couldn't convince the sect master, which made Chen Jingnong quite annoyed.
A gust of fragrant wind arrived, and a beautiful and beautiful woman appeared behind her.
Melon seed cheeks, willow leaf thin eyebrows, delicate facial features, wearing a bathrobe with a goose yellow bottom grass pattern, wet and long hair, there is a lot of mist.
"Big brother, are you thinking about those sad things again?"
Yao Siniang stepped forward and gently hugged Chen Jingnong from behind, her face pressed against his broad back.
He stroked her white and delicate arm with his backhand, sighing melancholy.
"Big brother, let's do our best to obey the destiny of heaven!"
Yao Siniang said a little sourly.
She is Chen Jingnong's younger sister.
Eighteen years ago, when these remnants of the Southern Dynasty fled to the Western Regions, they had nowhere to hide but to occupy the mountains as kings.
After some fighting and fighting, they finally settled down in the Eagle Claw Ridge at the southern foot of the Tianshan Mountains, and Yao Dingguo, the protector of the Southern Dynasty, was elected as the great leader.
After more than ten years of hard work and development, Eagle Claw Ridge has become one of the largest horse bandits in the Western Regions, with five or six thousand bandits.
Whether it is the Turkic royal court or the Anxi Protectorate, in the past few years, they have sent troops to encircle and suppress them, but they have all returned with a feather.
In the past few years, no matter which side it is, no one wants to be bored anymore.
Chen Jingnong sighed:
"I've been thinking that this time the crown prince of the Jin Dynasty will be in charge of the country, and there will be a battle between him and Cao Fu in the end, this is our best opportunity for restoration, and it must be used very well."
"Well, Siniang listens to the eldest brother."
"Okay, you're tired after a busy day, go rest first, make some preparations today, and enter the mountain early tomorrow morning."
Chen Jingnong patted her palm and said softly.
Yao Siniang bowed.
……
"His Royal Highness the Prince, in the past few months, the slaves and maids have found out the corruption of the traitorous party group, headed by Liu Hanzhang, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and a group of moths from the Ministry of Industry, using the annual river dam maintenance and water conservancy projects to engage in large-scale corruption, as well as the Ordnance Department of the Ministry of War."
Ji Hong, the Secret Guard Governor, reported to the crown prince.
"Well done."
Yuan Zhi bowed his head, and the corners of his mouth pulled up a trace of cold arc, and the murderous intent condensed.
