Chapter 71: Trusted
The secret guard dressed as the old village chief is a latent veteran, and he copes with Tuoba Jun's inquiries very decently, whether it is the body movements or facial expressions when facing Tuoba Jun, he does it just right.
Tuoba Jun attacked the entire village, and later his cronies and brother Yu Wenhe led his men to the rescue, and all the details of falling into the trap were understood.
From the village chief's account, Tuoba Jun clearly understood that this time his brother Yu Wenhe was killed by the secret guard of Feng Guo.
Of course, Tuoba Jun himself and Yuwen He were both the banner figures who attacked Feng Country this time and occupied a large territory of Feng Kingdom, so they were assassinated by Feng Guo's secret guards, and this Tuoba Jun was mentally prepared.
It's just that what I didn't expect was that this time the secret guards of the Feng Kingdom actually investigated the village where Yuwen and his family lived, and also lured Yuwen He out of the army in this way and successfully assassinated him.
Tuoba Jun was very saddened by Yu Wenhe's death, it felt like he had lost an arm, and the heart-wrenching feeling made this iron-like man sad, and the tears in his eyes slipped uncontrollably.
Because of the tragic death of Yuwen He, who was most trusted, in this ravine, Tuoba Jun's thoughts are now a little confused, and his sad emotions make him unable to calm down.
After listening to the village chief's narration, seeing Shen Lingxi's frightened and trembling appearance, and then looking at Shen Lingxi's bloodstains, he knew that this child must have experienced something terrible.
Shen Lingxi didn't expect that he originally wanted to show his acting skills, but who knew that in the face of this ruthless general, he would still be so unconsciously trembling.
However, what Shen Lingxi didn't expect was that this kind of instinctive fear and fear, in Tuoba Jun's eyes, seemed to be the normal performance of a child of this age who had experienced a broken family and nine deaths.
Imagine if Shen Lingxi was really calm and answered all questions, it would really not be like the performance of a twelve-year-old child who had just experienced life and death and had a ruined family.
Without any doubts, Tuoba Jun regarded Shen Lingxi as the only blood and bone left by his brother Yuwenhe.
arranged Shen Lingxi near the camp tent of the Chinese army, and sent a team of soldiers to protect Shen Lingxi.
Tuoba Jun set up camp at this time, and sent multiple troops to conduct a stall-style search of the nearby mountains and forests, trying to find out the Fengguo secret guard team that assassinated Yuwenhe.
The army searched in the nearby mountains and forests for several days, but there was no last gain, and Tuoba Jun had no choice but to collect Yu Wenhe's body and take Shen Lingxi to return to the garrisoned Donghua County unwillingly.
After all, Donghua County is a county occupied from Fengguo, and Tuoba Jun mobilized a large number of garrisons stationed in Donghua County this time in order to avenge his brother Yuwenhe, of course, he is also afraid that Fengguo is a plan to kill two birds with one stone from the mountain, so since he can't find the secret guard of Fengguo who assassinated Yuwenhe, he can only return as soon as possible.
Shen Lingxi is now considered by Tuoba Jun to be his brother Yuwenhe, the only surviving bloodline, so he takes good care of Shen Lingxi, not only sent a military doctor to treat Shen Lingxi's injuries, but also sent a team of hundreds of people to Shen Lingxi for protection.
When camping at night, Shen Lingxi will also have a separate tent.
That night, the army camped at the foot of a mountain, because none of the surrounding horses sent back the news of finding the secret guard of Fengguo, and the team was already on the way back, so the entire army, including Tuoba Jun, was in a relatively lax state, and he was immersed in sadness for several days in a row, Tuoba Jun's spirit was not very good, and he slept a little heavy this night.
In the middle of the night, a group of Fengguo secret guards of the Dare to Death Action Group suddenly launched an attack on the army of this Xuanwu Kingdom.
More than a dozen secret guard assassins in the foundation building period, under the leadership of a captain in the Yudan period, quietly touched the camp of the Chinese army, and after finding out Tuoba Jun's big tent, they suddenly assassinated Tuoba Jun.
Shen Lingxi, who was stationed next to Tuoba Jun's camp, was awakened by this sudden movement, and quickly got up and ran out of the tent.
Shen Lingxi didn't know that the secret guard would suddenly come to assassinate Tuoba Jun tonight, but instinctively got up and wanted to find a safe place to hide for a while.
It was just a secret guard of the Feng Kingdom during the foundation building period, and just when Shen Lingxi ran out of the camp, he suddenly found Shen Lingxi who was running, so he rushed over, and the cold sword blade slashed down towards Shen Lingxi with a powerful spiritual power.
Just when Shen Lingxi saw that the sword blade was about to stab him, the old man who was pretending to be the village chief suddenly appeared in front of Shen Lingxi.
Before Shen Lingxi could see it clearly, he saw that the blade of the sword stabbed straight into the old man's body, and then the old man spit out a mouthful of blood, but his hand grabbed the sword body of the dark guard in the foundation building period.
"Run......
The old man who pretended to be the village chief used his last breath and spit out these two words with difficulty, and then his body slowly slipped down, and finally covered his wounds and fell to the ground in pain.
Just when the old man dragged the assassin in the foundation building period, the hundred-man team protecting Shen Lingxi finally rushed over, and the assassin in the foundation building period saw a lot of soldiers, and hurriedly drew his sword from the body of the old man who fell to the ground, and then turned around and fled backwards.
Tuoba Jun's Chinese camp was attacked by only a few spells, and the Assassins were repulsed by the guards who arrived.
Seeing that the assassination could not be successful, the Fengguo secret guard quickly made an order to retreat, and in the cover of the night, coupled with the use of the Fengguo secret guard, he quickly broke away from contact with this army.
Of course, Tuoba Jun himself is not afraid of these assassins in the foundation building period, after all, he himself is also a cultivator in the middle of the foundation building period, but most of these soldiers under his command are not the opponents of these secret guard assassins in the foundation building period.
So after the army chased out for several miles, they lost the traces of these secret guards of the Feng Kingdom.
When Tuoba Jun gathered the army to strengthen the vigilance, he learned that Shen Lingxi had almost been killed just now, but at the last moment, the loyal old village chief actually blocked the assassin's sword with his body, which made Shen Lingxi safe and sound.
Tuoba Jun was very emotional, and felt that his brother Yuwen and the only bloodline could survive, and this village chief was really a great contribution.
So Tuoba Jun ordered the body of the old village chief to be buried thickly, and told the old village chief that Shen Lingxi was Yuwen and his only son Yuwenlong.
Originally, Tuoba Jun still had some doubts about Shen Lingxi's identity, and planned to wait until someone was sent to investigate Yuwenlong's past before making a decision.
However, now from the actions of the old village chief in order to protect the little lord, Tuoba Jun believes in Shen Lingxi's identity as Yuwenlong, of course, the last little caution, Tuoba Jun intends to slowly observe Shen Lingxi in the days to come.
