Chapter 490: The Assassin Enters the Account
The firelight reflected Qin Ke's young and handsome face, showing a reddish outline, and he was also observing the person in front of him, but doubts were in his heart.
His method of restraining his breath was taught to him by his master, and with the Xunfeng technique, he could even mask all the sounds he made, but even so, this General Zhang's reaction was too calm, and it looked as if he knew in advance that he would come.
"Is it General Zhang?" asked softly with the dagger in Qin Ke's hand.
"My surname is Zhang. Zhang Jiuxin smiled slightly, "But I don't know if it's the person you're looking for." ”
Qin Ke frowned, he was not very accustomed to this kind of literati words, but he had a mission and did not intend to waste too much time on conversation.
"General Zhang, you are controlling the army outside, right?"
"It's me. Zhang Jiuxin nodded, completely ignoring the coldness of the dagger beside his neck, "Are you sent by Lord Guo?" or...... Lin Xin?"
Qin Ke was slightly stunned: "General Lin, hey, aren't you in a group, why would he send someone to kill you?"
Zhang Jiuxin heard Qin Ke's doubts, smiled slightly, and said, "Then it seems that you were sent by Lord Guo." As for why Lin Xin wanted to kill me...... Of course, it's because I haven't sent troops to support him yet, and with his shrewdness, he will naturally suspect that I have a mind to turn against the water. More than 4,000 men have gathered under my command, and if I betray him, will he not be the enemy on his back?"
Qin Ke hurriedly asked, "Then what are you going to do now?"
"What are you going to do?" General Zhang smiled bitterly, and finally put down his hands lightly, "I don't know ...... either."
He looked at the bright red light of the charcoal fire in the brazier, and said after a moment of silence: "I am a member of the Mo family, and the Tang Kingdom is a mortal enemy, when I was young, my father went to the Tang Kingdom and died in a foreign country, if I really surrendered to the Tang Army, it would be tantamount to betraying my father and betraying my ancestors of the Zhang family." ”
"In that case, why are you rebelling?"
Zhang Jiuxin's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said, "I don't want to die here...... I still have my seventy-year-old mother at home, and my wife, who is waiting for me to come home, and my daughter, who is only four years old, and who doesn't understand anything, needs me as a father......"
"General. Something to report. A quiet voice came from outside the door.
Qin Ke's ears moved slightly, in fact, he had already noticed it before the man spoke, but it was just ......
The footsteps seem to be too soft, doesn't sound like an ordinary person?
Zhang Jiuxin is not a cultivator, so it is not strange to find a cultivator as a guard. So Qin Ke was thinking more about how he should hide at this time......
Thinking of this, Qin Ke said in a low voice: "Do you believe it or not, even if a cultivator stops me, I can kill you within fifteen steps?"
Zhang Jiuxin was stunned and said with a smile: "I don't know anything about cultivation, little brother, you can say that you can." ”
Qin Ke took a deep breath: "General Zhang, I don't have any malicious intent, I just hope to have a good talk with you, if it comes to the point of death or life, I don't think you and I will be happy." ”
Zhang Jiuxin nodded and said softly, "That's right." ”
"Good. Qin Ke also nodded.
There was another shout outside the door, Qin Ke maintained the action of clenching the dagger in his hand, took fifteen steps back, just retreated into the darkness that the fire in the tent could not illuminate, closed his eyes, and his whole body breathing and heartbeat suddenly converged, as if it had become an ornament in the tent in an instant.
Zhang Jiuxin turned his head and glanced in that direction, his eyes were quite curious, but with his ability, he couldn't see through Qin Ke's hiding at all, although he knew that Qin Ke was definitely hidden in the dark.
He shook his head regretfully and said to himself, "It's a pity that I don't have the talent to practice. ”
Then he said aloud to the door, "Come in." ”
The curtain was opened, and in came a hundred generals in armor, with stiff and powerful movements, and saluted heavily: "General." ”
"Speak. The expression on Zhang Jiuxin's face was calm as usual, as if nothing had happened just now, and he put his hands on the charcoal fire and continued to bake.
"Yes. "The face of the hundred generals is shrouded under the helmet," General Lin ...... He sent someone to urge, and he said that if the general did not send troops to support within a quarter of an hour, he simply turned around and fought to the death with the general. ”
"Are you alive or dead?" Zhang Jiuxin sneered, "With the 4,000 people in his hands to fight for me?" I think he is pulling Wang Nan's 2,000 people over, and the outcome of this is unknown, and Wang Nan hates him to the core, how can he join forces with him?"
The hundred generals still lowered their heads and said: "But generals, the decision is always made, and the brothers have been waiting outside for a long time, so what can they do if they wait? The Tang army is still guarding the outside, and when the horses are killed, the brothers can't live by eating grass and soil, right?"
Zhang Jiuxin smiled in his eyes and glanced up at the hundred generals: "Of course I know." ”
"In that case, why did the general hesitate?" the hundred generals' voices were a little frozen, "so drag on...... I'm afraid that it will provoke General Lin and them...... Unhappy. ”
This original 20,000-strong Mojia iron cavalry poured out of Xingzhou, but after encountering the interception trap of the Tang army, it was gradually surrounded and driven away, and retreated to Pinggu, not to mention the loss of nearly half of the troops, and there were only seven generals left among the thousand-man generals.
Among the seven generals, Cha Cha has died, and the corpse is still lying on the straw mat and refuses to close his eyes, Wang Nan vows to follow Guo Kai.
And the hundred generals are naturally referring to several other "rebel generals" led by Lin Xin and Hu Tian.
"I know this by heart. When he said this, Zhang Jiuxin's eyes were complicated, and he glanced at the darkness in the tent intentionally or unintentionally.
Qin Ke didn't notice his gaze, but kept standing quietly with his eyes closed, like a sculpture. As a person who was about to break through to the Junior Grandmaster in the Qi and Blood Realm, his perception was already so acute that even he couldn't believe it.
Even the eyes, once they are fixed for a long time, can cause alarm.
"Go down. Zhang Jiuxin said softly.
The hundred generals were still standing at the door, only a dozen steps away from General Zhang, motionless, but their heads lowered, as if they were trying their best to hide something.
"What's wrong?" Zhang Jiuxin's voice gradually became cold, "Is there anything else?"
In the dark, Qin Ke raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he had caught a trace of something wrong.
A gust of wind slowly blew into the camp tent through the cloth of the camp tent, the firelight swayed slightly, and the silhouette of the hundred generals became clearer.
In the silence, the shadow is slowly drifting away, as if the ghost is dancing its teeth and claws.
However, Qin Ke suddenly opened his eyes, and his body of qi and blood burst through his limbs, and he suddenly burst out of the darkness!
At the same time, he heard the extremely subtle voice, like a machine being gently pulled, and in an instant, a sharp shot flashed out of the tent.
Qin Ke arrived at Zhang Jiuxin's side almost instantly, and he didn't even have time to make a buffer, so he raised his right foot high and kicked it at him violently!
The brazier was knocked to the ground, the charcoal fire was scattered everywhere, igniting the animal skin carpet, and Zhang Jiuxin rolled on the ground to the corner.
And the sharp light grazed his shoulder, whizzed through the felt cloth of the tent, and flew into the endless night outside the tent.
In the firelight, the hundred generals jumped up high!
Although Qin Ke's sudden appearance made him a little stunned for a while, his decision was very fast.
He knew that since he had already shown his killing intent, he categorically didn't stop talking.
In Qin Ke's eyes, the figure of the hundred generals was like a night owl with wings spread, and between the churning, the long knife in the man's hand was unsheathed, and the flames on the animal skin carpet had just come out a little, but the air flow he fell down forced the flame into the dust.
Seeing that the long knife was about to fall on Zhang Jiuxin's head, Qin Ke gritted his teeth and glanced around.
The dagger in his hand danced in an instant, as if stirring a whirlpool of air currents in the air, and as the dagger flew out, the sharp divine soldier was like a hidden weapon stained with killing intent, flying towards the hundred generals!
The hundred generals were in the air, Qin Ke's movements were in full view, and seeing that Qin Ke threw out a dagger so decisively to stop him, and finally there was a gap in his heart.
He hesitated, not knowing for a moment whether he should continue to slash the long knife in his hand or block the striking dagger first.
Finally, he took a deep breath, his body spun in the air, and the long knife in his hand shook, and collided with the dagger, and with a "ding" sound, the dagger deflected and fell into the darkness that the fire did not shine on.
The hundred generals opened their eyes wide at this moment......
