In the evening, the sun sets in the west, and the mist gradually rises.

In the vast white waters, several large merchant ships that were rapidly approaching gradually slowed down their speed and power after reaching the predetermined area, and finally dropped an iron anchor on the surface of the river somewhere, extinguishing all lights and completely stagnating.

Then, there was a silent and anxious wait. Everyone, including the old nobles who had been resting in the cabin but were still half dead, also hobbled onto the deck, looking out into the southern waters, unable to hide their anxious looks.

The royal family worship that went to the general message before has returned smoothly, and the news brought back is also very smooth. But Rao is like this, and the members of the aristocratic negotiation team, who have been killed and died, have long been nervous and extremely insecure. That is, I desperately want to rely on something, but I can't believe anything at all......

It's torture!

Of course, Don didn't feel like that way. Looking around at the water features that seemed to be somewhat familiar, he looked thoughtful.

That's right, he's been here before, not so long ago. A little further on, he and Bamutu blocked the mouth of the river in Uddin. Tsk, that's pretty coincidental......

Thinking like this, there was a slight commotion around him.

Looking up, in the southern waters in the distance, faintly, several behemoths broke through the heavy mist that had been condensed for a long time, and quietly and at high speed approached this side.

"It's finally here...... after a pause, the second prince raised his hand and waved lightly, and shouted in a low voice, "Ready!"

The orders were passed one after another, and there was a slight uproar on several large merchant ships. The sword was unsheathed, the bow and arrow were full of strings, and the battle was prepared, and the atmosphere of slaughter instantly sank to the freezing point.

There's not much to say about that. Under the current form shì. Even the second prince who has a lot of confidence in General Naclay. Don't dare to risk your own life at will to bet on the other party's loyalty!

But it turns out that they seem to be overhearted.

The behemoths, the mighty and monstrous warships, slowed down on their own for miles and eventually came to a standstill. Immediately afterwards, a small boat was put down, carrying several people, and approached this side again with the floating and sinking river.

"Whew...... That's right. It's General Clay!" Several old nobles leaned over the side of the ship and squinted for a while, and finally determined the identity of the comer, and couldn't help but shout with joy.

Since the identity of the person who came has been confirmed, and the other party is in a small boat without an escort, it also means that there is no danger in the current scene.

The lights brightened and the sword was lowered. The tense and solemn atmosphere of the previous moment was swept away in an instant. The second prince let out a turbid breath and waved his hand happily: "Put down the sampan, go, and go to meet General Xia Clay together." ”

I have to say. These two princes are still very good at being people. Whether it's sincere or false. At least there was no ambiguity on the scene. Waving his hand and leading a group of old nobles to the edge of the deck, it can be said that he has given this Clay general enough face.

Soon, the boat approached. Except for the manipulation soldiers, there are three people on the other side. Along the rope ladder lowered on this side, the three of them jumped onto the merchant ship.

The leader was a man in the prime of life wearing high-grade heavy armor and a beard. As soon as Pu Yi boarded the deck, he looked excited, and immediately walked a few steps towards the second prince, bowed and saluted: "Your Highness, your subordinates are late ......."

"The general doesn't need to be polite...... Before the general Clay bowed, the second prince had already stepped forward a few steps forward to hold the big man's arm, interrupting the salute, and he was also excited.

If there is no accident, what follows should be a touching scene of mutual respect between monarchs and ministers. But at this moment, suddenly,

A figure flashed into the middle from behind in an instant, passing over the old nobles who hurriedly stepped forward, and passing the two princes who supported each other. With a pause, the lightning probe and pinpoint the wrist of one of the people who came with General Clay.

This person is a middle-aged man, also wearing high-grade armor, and should be a first-class figure of the lieutenant general. Originally, he walked quickly, he should have been ready to salute the second prince and the old nobles, but he didn't want to hold his wrist as soon as his arm was stretched out, and a black shadow flashed in front of him instantly.

"Who?!" The middle-aged lieutenant general was shocked when he saw this, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes, and he subconsciously bent his arms and struggled, raising his knees and pushing out.

His instantaneous reaction was neither unpleasant nor incorrect. But the actual situation was that as soon as his knees were raised, the black shadow in front of him took his wrist and instantly stepped around behind him, and then a flash of light lit up under his eyes, and with a pop, his throat was cold......

Blood splattered!

"General, be careful—"

"There are assassins!"

"Protect Your Highness—"

"Uh...... Tang Tang Tang ...... Donne?"

......

This change came so suddenly, and it ended even more quickly. Between breaths, before everyone could react, they saw the middle-aged lieutenant leaning forward and kneeling on one knee on the deck. His right hand was held around his back, and his left hand was in vain to grasp his neck, his throat hissing meaninglessly, and a large area of blood spread wantonly under his body.

"Ho...... Whoop......"

Behind him, under the light and flickering lights, Tang En was expressionless and convulsed his body under him, clasping the opponent's right wrist with one hand, and holding the opponent's neck with the other, turning the handle of the pitch-black dagger that plunged straight into the latter's throat, gurgling...... The pouring of blood and the clear and terrifying sound of rubbing bones are chilling to hear!

The first to react was the other lieutenant general who was the closest, and when he saw this, his eyes were instantly split, and he stabbed without thinking about drawing his sword.

"Give me death - the general is leaving!"

"Donn, what are you doing......"

"Stop!"

Immediately afterwards, everyone in the field came back to their senses and subconsciously made the most beneficial action for their side. or roared or retreated, and the sword that the outer guards had just put down was instantly raised high again, and they charged forward.

Seeing that a confused melee was inevitable, at this time, the lieutenant general's long sword had already stabbed Tang En in the back of the heart.

Without getting up, or even turning his head, Don just twisted his body slightly, and instantly avoided the stabbing sword. Immediately, there was a crisp sound of ding, and the figures were staggered.

The deputy general, who was too violent, rushed directly a few steps in front of Tang En, paused, roared, and was just about to forcibly twist his waist and turn around, holding his sword and slashing back, his body suddenly froze in place.

Raise your right hand high, empty as it is.

Subconsciously bowed his head, and the saber had returned to the scabbard on his waist at some point.

This strange scene not only shocked the lieutenant general, but also stunned the guards who rushed over from the periphery. The lights dimmed, the river tapped, and the scene fell into a brief silence in an instant.

Immediately, with a bang, Tang En put away his knife and got up, and the middle-aged lieutenant at his feet knelt on the bloody deck, silent.

"For ...... Why do you want to kill him?" Looking at Tang En, who wiped the blood on his hands with a flat expression, as if he had done nothing, the second prince opened his mouth, and only after a moment did he ask in a trembling voice.

"Your Highness, this is ...... Your people?" If it hadn't been completely straightened out just now, then now looking at the reactions of the people around him, General Clay naturally knew everything. took a deep breath, looked at the adjutant general who fell in a pool of blood, twitched the corners of his eyes, turned his head, and looked at the second prince inexplicably with grief and indignation, "Good, good, good, it seems that His Royal Highness doesn't believe in his subordinates ......"

"General, don't get me wrong......"

"He's got something in his hands. Without waiting for the second prince to explain, a royal family enshriner behind him frowned and looked at the dead lieutenant general, his eyes flashed, and he suddenly spoke.

"Let your mother fuck ......" The other lieutenant recovered from the shock, and when he heard that the other party not only killed his robe in front of him, but now it seemed that he had the intention of harming and framing him, he suddenly jumped like thunder, and scolded when he opened his mouth.

"Shut up!, go see!" shouted General Clay angrily.

"Let's go together. The second prince looked at Tang En, whose eyes were immovable, his heart suddenly moved, and he waved his hand and said, "General, don't be angry, there must be a result to explain things." If it's determined that our side is at fault...... I will personally give the general an explanation!"

Speaking of which, as His Royal Highness the Second Prince, there is really nothing to fight for.

All the nobles gathered around, and the spirit soldier stepped forward to bring the corpse of the middle-aged lieutenant general over, left hand, nothing. Right hand...... He broke his fist and clenched his fist, but he didn't break it at once.

"Be careful. Don said suddenly.

Everyone couldn't help but be stunned when they heard this, and then vaguely remembered something...... In the short battle just now, this palm seemed to have been held by Tang En......

The soldier exerted his strength lightly again, and his five fingers finally opened. In the dim light, in the palm of his hand, a fiery red prismatic crystal shines!

Suddenly, "hiss......"

There was an instant gasp in the field, as if it had been agreed, and everyone stepped back in unison, their expressions changed greatly. General Clay and the lieutenant general did not retreat, their eyes glared like copper bells, "Explosion, explosion...... Exploding Crystal?!"

"How could it be ......" Looking at the fiery red crystal and the familiar face soaked in a pool of blood, General Clay couldn't believe his eyes and muttered, "Harun, this is ...... Why?"

The identity of the second prince will never be seen before he lands on the south bank. General Clay must be very clear about this, so the two lieutenants who can come with him this time naturally have his trust. But now it was his trusted subordinate, and under his nose, he was holding a terrifying explosion crystal......

It sounds like something impossible.

But no matter how impossible it is. Under conclusive evidence, it can only be facts!

At this time, everyone looked at Tang En's eyes again, and it was completely different. Now that it's clear that the middle-aged lieutenant is secretly hiding an explosive crystal, of course, it can't be that he came to give a gift. Think about it, with the power of the exploding crystal, if he was allowed to rush close to the second prince and the nobles of the negotiation group and successfully detonate it, then within such a narrow distance, the consequences would ...... It's really unimaginable!

However, Tang En didn't have any special expression, and he didn't even want to know who was behind the middle-aged lieutenant general.

It's not a pretend X!

Originally, to put it bluntly, this was just an assassination. The other party has the determination to be a human bomb, which can be called courageous, but it is not professional. And Don is a professional, or the top of the profession. In this way, the verdict is made, isn't the ending already doomed?

Facing everyone's gaze, he frowned impatiently and waved his hand, "Hurry up and change boats to the road." ”
