Chapter 224: Hidden Murder
The withered weeds hung their heads and swayed with the passing wind.
There are many horseshoe prints on the narrow official road, and many soldiers sitting on horses.
The soldiers wore heavy and secure armor, with long swords or knives pinned to their waists, and bows and arrows and quivers behind their backs.
There are plenty of arrows in the quiver, and when the general gives the order, the arrows will become a killing weapon for harvesting lives.
Hao Tongtian rode a horse and walked in the front, his face was gloomy, and the violent temperament that appeared between his eyebrows made his whole person even more terrifying.
Hao Tongtian suddenly felt a little uneasy in his heart, he looked at the withered weeds and corn stalks everywhere, and always felt that there was something hidden in the shadows.
"Stop!"
As soon as Hao Tongtian waved his hand, the army behind him immediately stopped.
He was suspicious.
Over the years, it was precisely this suspicion that made him never make a mistake, and thus repeatedly saved his life.
Here, the old general held his breath, he had a premonition that the opposing army was getting closer and closer, and to him the sound of horses' hooves was as piercing as snoring in the middle of the night.
However, he suddenly felt that the other party's pace of progress came to an abrupt halt.
"Sand... Sand..."
Several soldiers led by Hao Tongtian accidentally overwhelmed the dead grass on the side of the road, making an inappropriate sound.
Hao Tongtian turned his head to look at the soldiers and frowned.
Hao Tongtian said: "A few of you are out of the ranks. ”
Several soldiers walked out with their heads bowed like children who had done something wrong.
Hao Tongtian pointed to the cornfield in front of him and said, "You go ahead to explore the way." ”
Several soldiers looked at each other and immediately walked into the cornfield with their weapons in hand.
"Sand... Sand..."
As they went, they knocked down many withered corn stalks, which were like candles in the wind, which were extinguished when they blew on.
They are dilapidated, but they have their rightful value.
The "rustling" sound made the old general extremely nervous.
The old general glanced at his trusted subordinate, who plunged into the cornfield with his sword.
This subordinate has good light skills, and his body is light, even if he shuttles through the cornfield, he does not make a sound.
He hid in the path of several soldiers.
He could feel the soldiers getting closer to him.
And as these soldiers went deeper and deeper, a kind of fear arose.
The fear made their hearts beat faster and their faces red.
Slowly, they found their legs and feet shaking.
Just as they panicked, a strong killing intent locked onto them.
All they felt was a chill on their backs, and cold sweat kept breaking out.
Suddenly, a sharp sword poked out of the cornfield, and the tip stabbed straight into the throat of one of the soldiers.
The soldier felt a slight pain in his throat, and then lowered his head to see that a sword had pierced his throat!
His eyes widened and he was about to shout loudly to tell the others to watch out for the assassin, but his throat was pierced and he could no longer speak, except for a few "woo-woo" sounds.
"Poof!"
The subordinate in the shadows drew his long sword, and the soldier on the opposite side fell to the ground, making the sound of landing.
His corpse crushed a large area of corn stalks, as if to remind Hao Tongtian.
Hao Tongtian has been staring at the scene in the cornfield, and now when he hears this voice and sees the strange state of the cornfield, he secretly feels tricky in his heart.
The rest of the soldiers were closer to the dead soldier and learned of his anomaly.
So these soldiers pulled out their weapons, intending to rush up and directly surround the killers in the shadows, as long as General Hao knew about the abnormality, General Hao would definitely lead a large number of men and horses to come.
The old general's eyes widened, and his heart was quick to calculate.
