Chapter 3 ins and outs
"Childe, you...... Are you alright?"
Li Fu's timid voice came from behind him. Li Changfeng had long known that he was standing behind him, he turned his body slightly and glanced at the corner of his eye, only to see Li Fu covered with dust, a big bag on his forehead, and blood stains on his body. Listening to his voice, there was enough energy, and there was no sign of bleeding and being too injured, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, only that he pretended to be injured and afraid of the enemy to avoid the battle, and couldn't help but be angry and funny, and deliberately said with a straight face:
"I can't die yet...... I said Xiaofuzi, why didn't I see you just now, how many enemies did you kill?"
When Li Fu heard that the young master's tone was wrong, his heart tightened, his eyes rolled, and he suddenly rushed over and hugged Li Changfeng's thighs and cried loudly, howling:
"It's okay to be fine, but I'm worried about dying young. Son...... Childe, it's not that you don't protect Childe wholeheartedly, but at the beginning you were caught off guard by an arrow and fell off the horse, and your head hit a stone and fainted, Childe, you see ......"
raised his head pitifully and pointed to the big bag on his forehead, his eyes were full of tears, and the corners of his mouth were still bent down.
Li Changfeng saw his lazy appearance, he couldn't cry or laugh, raised his legs and struggled, and scolded with a smile:
"I want you to protect your fart, get out of here!"
Li Fu stood up in disdain, and slapped his ass in his mouth:
"Childe is wise and martial, martial arts, invulnerable, and he beats the thief to the point of urine, how can anyone hurt Childe! ”
Li Changfeng laughed, raised his leg and kicked his buttocks, and said with a smile:
"Loyalty, loyalty, and unyielding? I think you're a sycophant. The ass is so explicit, the flesh is numb, I don't think your kung fu is very good, you have to practice again. ”
"Obey the son's orders, I will definitely work hard!"
Li Fu pouted his ass and received a kick, without blushing, and replied triumphantly.
Shaking his head helplessly, Li Changfeng suppressed his smile and asked with concern:
"I saw that you were hit by an arrow in the back when you fell off your horse, where is the injury, is there anything wrong?"
"Gongzi Xie cares. The Assassin's bow and arrows were not very strong, and the small one wore the family heirloom soft armor, and the arrows were only pierced on it but did not penetrate, so they were not injured. ”
As he spoke, he unbuttoned his coat, revealing the soft armor inside, dark yellow in color, Li Changfeng touched it with his hand, it should be a leather armor made of some kind of animal's skin, which can block the penetration of bows and arrows, it should be a very good armor.
"Okay, it's good that you're not hurt!"
Patting Li Fu on the shoulder, he said with relief.
"Childe, this soft armor is comfortable to wear, I'll take it off and put it on for you!"
Li Fu's eyes were red, and he was a little excited to take off his soft armor.
"No, I don't lack this, this is a life-saving thing, don't take it off, change your coat. ”
Waving his hand to stop his movements, Li Changfeng turned around and walked to the other side. Over there, He Fangtong was striding towards him.
"What about the casualties of the soldiers?"
Without waiting for him to speak, Li Changfeng asked in a deep voice.
He Fangtong showed a little gratitude on his face, the Shangguan who could care so much about the casualties of the soldiers could make people worship and work hard for him.
"Five people were killed, eight were wounded, two of them were seriously wounded, I'm afraid ......"
With a somewhat gloomy expression, he replied softly.
After a pause, Li Changfeng spoke:
"Take me there. ”
The scattered battlefield on the official road had been hastily cleaned up, and the wounded soldiers were placed in the open space on the gentle slope beside the road, and the five soldiers who had died in battle had been lying in a row on the other side. The dead black-clad assassins were piled up in a haphazard manner, and it seemed that there were about a dozen of them. The arrows, the blades, the smashed carriage, all of them remained in place. Several soldiers were working together to drag a horse that had been killed by an arrow in its eye socket to the side of the road, while the rest of the scattered and lost horses were found and circled aside. When the soldiers saw him coming, they raised their hands and lightly hammered their left chests to salute, and Li Changfeng returned the salute one by one.
Slowly walking to the middle of the group of wounded soldiers, Li Changfeng began to visit one by one, but his expression became more and more solemn, some of the wounded soldiers were hit by arrows in their hands and legs, some were stabbed by swords in the chest and abdomen, the lightest one, the left cheek was cut, half of the head was covered, the blood penetrated the bandage and was still dripping blood, and these were only lightly wounded.
"My lord, we're fine, we can continue to fight for you when we heal from our injuries!"
Seeing Li Changfeng's solemn expression, a lean wounded soldier couldn't help but say.
Nodding, Li Changfeng straightened up and said loudly:
"Don't worry, everyone is born and died for me, I, Li Changfeng, will never treat you badly, and I will definitely let you get the best treatment and compensation. ”
As his words disappeared, the wounded soldiers were silent in unison, and after a while, one of the wounded soldiers knelt down and said, "Thank you, my lord, I am willing to die for my lord." With the first words, the wounded soldiers said in unison: "I am willing to die for my lord." ”
Li Changfeng waved his hand: "Everyone can recuperate with peace of mind, and when you get to the market town ahead, I will ask the best doctor for you to heal your injuries." ”
Walking out of the concentration of wounded soldiers, he was in a heavy mood, a team of only thirty people in total, almost half of them fell this time, and there were still more than four hundred miles to go, and he didn't know what would happen.
He Fangtong saw that his face was gloomy, thinking that he was still worried about the wounded soldiers, and said with relief: "My lord, when a soldier fights a cane, it is inevitable that he will be injured and bleed, so you don't have to worry too much." ”
Waving his hand, Li Changfeng turned his head and asked, "Aren't there still two seriously injured people, where are they?"
He Fangtong sighed, shook his head and said, "The injury is too serious, and it's gone." ”
Li Changfeng paused, sighed lightly and said: "Bury it on the spot, remember, be kind to his family." ”
He Fangtong nodded.
The two walked to the spot where the corpses of the black-clad assassins were piled up and stopped. Li Changfeng put his hands behind his back, looked at the severed arm in front of his toes, the corners of his mouth twitched, and asked:
"Is there a live mouth?"
"There were three, and one of them was so badly injured that he died after a few sentences. I interrogated the other two separately and asked for something......"
"Oh, to be specific, I'm going to see who wants my life?"
"Yes, little waiter. This thing is really strange, according to their confession, they are all wandering samurai in the area of 'Izumo Prefecture', doing business for people with money, this time they were assassinated by a person named 'Mr. Yao', a total of more than forty people, these people belong to seven small groups, so they are not very familiar with each other. They didn't know that 'Mr. Yao', and the other party covered his face when they met, but listening to the accent, it should be someone from the capital. ”
Li Changfeng listened quietly, his brows furrowed, and said:
"I took up the post of town guard in Hengkou this time, but my father wanted me to train in the army after my coming-of-age ceremony, although I was in the border army, but the empire has been peaceful in recent years, and there is no danger. A small town guard, not a location with oil and water, on the contrary, the conditions there are difficult, and it is simply my father who drove me to a place to avoid the limelight because the incident I made in the capital was too big......"
For the sake of His Holiness, He Fangtong heard him talk about his troubles, so he had to touch his head and smile awkwardly.
After a pause, Li Changfeng waved his hand and said:
"It can't be because I'm going to get in the way of someone's murderous intent, then it's only because of that incident!"
"Childe, I know ...... about that" Li Fu came to the side at some point, and interjected:
"It's just because you and Lu Yingli, the son of the Prime Minister's Mansion, met at Shangguan Ruyin, a famous prostitute in the capital, and they competed for the wind...... cough, cough...... It's not the first time this kind of thing has happened, even if your hand is a little heavier this time and you discount his leg, didn't Hou Ye also give the other party an explanation?
"Yes......" He Fangtong arched his hand and said: "The Lu family shouldn't be so excessive, it's just a small fight, if someone really dies, the entire empire is afraid that there will be a shock, and they can't afford it." ”
Li Changfeng looked up at the sky, and the intelligent system in his brain quickly analyzed, and the result made him smile bitterly: the analysis believed that the probability of the Lu family doing it was less than two percent, but the probability of other families doing it was five percent.
Squinting his eyes, he asked lightly, "Have you searched the dead assassins, and are there any other clues?"
"I searched for it, and there was only a small amount of silver, and the blades, bows and arrows were nothing special, they were all goods that could be bought everywhere. A letter was also found, but it was soaked in blood and its contents were somewhat blurred. He Fangtong beckoned as he spoke, and a soldier next to him walked over, holding a small round shield with a blood-soaked letter spread out on the shield.
Li Changfeng looked at the letter with interest, the part that could still be seen clearly in the upper part of the letter was also consistent with the confession, and the ink in the lower half was soaked in blood, and it was impossible to see clearly. He turned on the intelligent system to carefully analyze and identify ......
