The night was dark, the sky was shrouded in mist, the bright moon was dim, the creeping of patrolling soldiers stepping on dead branches, and the crisp sound of armor crashing, but there was silence all around.

In the jungle in the distance, there are more than a dozen black shadows leaping, like ghosts, extremely fast, and fleeting. These black figures were dressed in black suits, tightly wrapped, revealing only a pair of cold and merciless eyes.

The breeze blew, and the rustling sound sounded in the jungle, and these figures slowly approached the barracks. The Li family's military camp was stationed on an open plain, with military tents towering, soldiers patrolling in a staggered manner, and bonfires burning like white water.

Outside the barracks, there were also Li family scouts hiding, these scouts were agile and proficient in concealment, occupying higher ground, observing whether there was movement in the enemy camp opposite in the distance.

A black shadow walked slowly through the jungle, but with a slight movement of his footsteps, he would float out a few feet away, seemingly slowly, but in the blink of an eye, he disappeared into the jungle.

"Poof!"

Everywhere the shadow passed, the hidden scout was pierced through his throat, staring wide-eyed and struggling to die.

In the Li family barracks, except for the soldiers on duty patrolling at this time, everyone had already fallen asleep, and it was quiet. More than a dozen figures, like sharp arrows off the string, rushed into the barracks during the staggered interval of patrols, each like a tanuki, silently, towards the center of the barracks.

In the center of the barracks, a tall, richly decorated military tent towers. This military tent is clearly different from the surrounding military tents, and it is obviously the commander's camp residence.

At the door of the tent were two soldiers in armor and spears in their hands, staring intently ahead.

"Snort!"

Two black lights suddenly appeared, and the two soldiers stared, watching more than a dozen black shadows appear, clutching their throats and falling to the ground unwillingly.

A dozen Assassins looked at each other, and one of them went into action. The figure flashed, and he came to the door of the military tent, and cautiously opened a corner of the military tent to observe the situation inside. It was pitch black inside the military tent, but these black shadows were all first-class masters, and they could see at night with their true qi.

Seeing that there was no danger, the assassin quietly rushed in, and at the same time the sword behind his back fell lifelessly into his hand, and he approached the couch inside.

On the military tent, Li Ru'an's brilliant pillar of luck suddenly trembled. The hovering cockpit above opened its eyes and looked down at the Assassin below. Li Ru'an, who was asleep, suddenly seemed to have fallen into the abyss, his body was agitated, and he woke up in a cold sweat. Li Ruan's head palpitations had not yet calmed down, but when he turned his head, he saw a black shadow quietly and silently approaching in the darkness.

Li Ru'an was shocked and shouted: "Who are you?"

"Boom!"

As soon as the black shadow was discovered, the long sword in his hand turned into a shock and stabbed towards Li Ru'an, although Li Ru'an was martial arts. But at this critical juncture, it was a tumble that avoided a desperate sword. The long sword hit Li Ru'an's back, and a sonorous sound of metal resonated sounded. This Li Ruan fell asleep wearing soft armor, and at this time the soft armor blocked a blow for him.

Li Ruan took advantage of the turn to pull out the dagger under the pillow, and the whole person rolled down to the other side of the couch. Desperately shouted: "Someone, there are assassins!"

"What?"

"There are assassins!"

The people living in the nearby military tent were awakened by Li Ru'an's voice, and a noisy and chaotic voice appeared. The sound of armor and blades clashing suddenly intensified, and nearby patrols hurried over.

"Snort!"

The dagger in Li Ru'an's hand flashed, broke open the military tent, and rushed out.

"Whoa!"

More than a dozen assassins struck at the same time as they were exposed, their long swords were drawn, and a clear sound of groaning sounded, rushing towards Li Ru'an, who rushed out. Li Ru'an clutched his arms, his face pale and kept retreating, and the patrol behind him was farther away than the assassins, making it difficult to rescue at all.

The figure of the assassin was like lightning, and it shot at him. The long sword in his hand glowed with a cold light, and instantly came to Li Ru'an's side. Li Ru'an could even feel the cold aura of the long sword, Li Ru'an smiled miserably, he couldn't imagine that his road to reviving the Li family's ambitious hegemony had just begun, and he was about to die at the hands of the assassin.

"The thief is rampant!"

Suddenly, an angry rebuke sounded, and a man wearing a cyan robe appeared in everyone's field of vision, and with a big hand, dozens of rounded steel balls shot out at a rapid pace, and Dangdang! Shot the assassin's long knife and hit the assassin's body.

All of a sudden, more than a dozen assassins screamed and were seriously injured by these steel balls, spitting blood, and the blades in their hands were shot down one after another, falling to the ground with a bang.

Suddenly, a black shadow fell from the sky, this figure hunted in black robe, grabbed it in his hand, and dozens of pitch-black and thin steel needles as thin as cow's hair appeared, well, the black shadow seemed to be a goddess scattering flowers, and the steel needles rushed out quickly, shooting in the direction of Li Ru'an.

"Dangdang!"

The man in the robe on the other side had a solemn face, flew up, and with a wave of the wide sleeve robe, he rolled all the steel needles.

But what the man didn't notice was that at the moment when the black robe made a move, the fingers of the other hand flicked slightly, and a black needle with the thickness of a cow's hair avoided the man in the robe and stabbed into Li Ru'an's arm.

Li Ru'an snorted, staggered a few steps, and clutched his arms in shock.

"Let's go!"

The black-robed figure suddenly spoke, his voice was old and indifferent, this person was Chu Lao. Chu Lao lit the top of the military tent at his feet, and the whole person was like a big bird, and with a bang, he turned into a ghost and rushed into the military camp below. He will not leap in the sky, because this will definitely become the target of the crossbows, dozens of crossbows at the same time, plus the majestic soldiers, even if it is innate, will fall.

The other assassins heard Chu Lao's voice and rushed out one after another. There was another fierce fight, and only a few of the dozen or so wounded assassins escaped, and all the others were encircled and suppressed to death.

Song Cao camp, the candlelight of Song Cao's military tent flickered, and a majestic figure sat on the top, waiting for news. Suddenly, a gust of wind came in, and an old man in a black robe with snow-white hair and hair appeared.

"Your Majesty!" Chu Lao bowed his hand slightly and came back to resume his life.

"How is it?" Song Cao Huoran stood up from his seat and asked urgently.

Weichen's spider needle shot Li Ru'an, and it was expected that he would not live long, but the secret guard master was almost killed and injured in this battle. ”

Chu Lao spoke slowly, his voice was indifferent and ruthless, and he didn't seem to care about his dead subordinates.

Song Cao was overjoyed at first, and then couldn't help but feel distressed. These secret guards have been cultivated for more than ten years, and there are very few of them who have reached the first class, each of them is very precious, but this time he sacrificed so much, it was like scraping off a piece of flesh from his body.

"Although the dark guard sacrificed so much, it was still worth it to be able to kill Li Ru'an. Old Chu, your spider needle is highly poisonous in the world, and you will die if you touch it. It seems that Li Ruan must have died. ”

Song Cao was happy in his heart, as long as Li Ru'an died, the enemy army would definitely be in chaos, and when the time came, he would be able to break it with one blow and sweep away the rebellion in a short time.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid that Li Ru'an will be able to hold out for two days, because just now Weichen was blocked by a congenital master, otherwise, Li Ru'an would have died under the hands of the secret guard. ”

Chu Lao spoke again, and he kept thinking in his heart when this person appeared in the Great Song Dynasty, this person was definitely not an innate master who already knew the Dao. Moreover, one of his innate masters actually deigned to be a county guard. You must know that there are very few Dao in the Great Song Dynasty, and each of them has a terrifying deterrent power.

Song Cao himself is a state pastor, his status is noble, and now he is the king, but Chu Lao will stay under Song Cao's hands because of Song Cao's kindness.

"Innate master?"

Song Cao couldn't help but be stunned, he knew that the poison on the spider needle was highly poisonous in the world, even if he was a congenital master, it was impossible to cure the poison without an antidote, even if it was an innate true qi, he could only suppress the poison for a short time.

"Yes, this master Wei Chen is not a known master in terms of his appearance, and he didn't expect that there would be a congenital master in a small place in Pingliang. ”

Chu Lao expressed the doubts in his heart, and then talked with Song Cao again and retreated. (To be continued......)
