Being stabbed through the heart by a sword, an ordinary person would have died long ago, but the man in red robe was born with a strange body, and his heart pulse is on the right side. Although he was severely injured by the young man, the man in red robe thought of holding his breath and pretending to be dead until he could escape this disaster and return to the valley. The evil man complained first, but when he heard that the woman was going to take the boy into the valley to serve as a witness, he couldn't help but feel confused. Read the book
If what he has done is known to his master, he will wait for his punishment... The man in red robe did not dare to think about it anymore, and secretly made up his mind. If he got the chance, he would kill these two people before they entered the valley. He must not let these two people go to the valley. The two returned to Murong Valley safely.
Hearing the conversation between the two people, the man in red robe was always looking for a good opportunity to take action. However, the young man's martial arts was superb and he was still invincible in his prime. What's more, he had already been severely injured. It wasn't until the two of them used light skills to leave that the man in red robe dared to move. Body.
He pulled off the red robe and looked at the sword wound on his left chest. Blood was still oozing out. The red robe hurriedly pointed at several acupuncture points on his chest to stop the bleeding.
He raised his eyes and looked at the direction where the young man and his junior sister were leaving, and said fiercely: "You little beast, you have so many calculations, but you didn't expect that I'm not dead yet. It's not that simple to want to go to Murong Valley."
Thinking of the young man's words about going to Yanbei City to prepare grain shipments, the red-robed man's vicious eyes flickered under his hood, and then he thought of interception and killing methods. At the moment, both the boy Mu Yi and his junior sister Murong Wu thought they were dead long ago. After sneaking into Yanbei City, he might be able to kill the two of them with one blow while they were unprepared.
After calming down, the man in red robe gritted his teeth and treated the wound again, then managed to get up and headed towards Yanbei City...
But he said that Gao Deng ordered Lao Chen to stay by Xu An's side and take care of him at all times. He led the army in front and watched Yan Beicheng on his way. He was anxious and sent scouts on horseback from time to time to check how far away Yan Beicheng was.
My mind has not been idle for a moment, and I really can't figure it out. I have been pretending to be that idiot general all these years. No one in Yanbei or Jianglin City should regard me as a political enemy, but that woman turned to me. Come... who is she... and who ordered her...
These kept lingering in Gordon's mind, making Gordon very upset.
"General! General!" The general called from his side, finally calling Gordon out of his thoughts.
With his eyes slightly gleaming, Gao Deng realized that the marching speed of the patrol had slowed down, and he immediately said angrily: "Who gave the order to slow down the march? Old Xu's life is only in the blink of an eye. Send my order, and the patrol is not allowed to slow down." , we must rush to Yanbei City before dawn, anyone who disobeys the order will be punished by the military!"
Perhaps it was the murderous intent in Gordon's eyes that made the generals who were sideways dare not report casually. It was not until Gordon finished issuing the military order that he saw a group of generals still standing in front of him with solemn expressions. Only then did he realize that something was wrong and asked. Said: "What happened?"
Seeing that Gao Deng had calmed down, one of the generals came out on horseback and reported: "General, when we were marching just now,... a man came alone, left a message and fled... "
Today, he was already uneasy because of Xu An's injury. He didn't expect that someone would dare to come towards the patrol again. Gordon immediately shouted angrily: "These people really think that our patrol is just a display. They can come and leave whenever they want." Just leave?"
In a rage, he wanted to order the pursuit of this intruder, but was stopped by the general in front of him.
"General, the message this person left... is too shocking. I'd better ask the general to listen to this message first... maybe the general..."
Gao Deng thought about Xu An's injury and saw the expressions of the generals. He also knew that this matter was not a small matter. Otherwise, how could the generals be so cautious in repaying him? He immediately said: "You wait for the retribution to come, but the march cannot be stopped. Send the order and continue marching."
"I have the order."
All the generals took the order and left, leaving only the general who had just reported the matter in front. After everyone left, the general came forward on his horse.
"General... just now that person said... what he said..." The general seemed to have something to hide, hesitating and not daring to speak directly.
Gordon's eyes were slightly stern, and he spoke sternly: "The soldiers in the army are so coquettish, tell me! What on earth did that person say that you are like this!"
Hearing what the general said, the general did not dare to hide anything anymore and answered truthfully: "The man's message said... that General Shan had betrayed the country and defected to the Jin Dynasty, so he sealed Yanbei City, hoping to cooperate with the Jin army inside and outside, and seize us. Qiyun 100,000
The army slaughtered outside Yanbei City. "
"What! Say that again!" Gordon's little eyes widened and he couldn't believe his ears. He stood up from his horse, got closer to the general, grabbed the general's breastplate, and shouted sternly.
It was clearly early spring and it was still cold in Yanbei, but the general was already breaking out in a cold sweat. He knew what he was saying. Without evidence, it would be a serious crime to frame the commander of the Yanbei Army. However, since the matter was so big, how could he dare to hide it, so he had to do his best. He lowered his voice and reported again.
"The man said that General Shan sealed Yanbei City and surrendered to the Northern Jin Dynasty. He wanted to trap our Yanbei army outside Yanbei City."
Gordon's breathing was rapid and his eyes were blank. He unknowingly let go of the general's breastplate, sat back on the horse and murmured: "This...how is it possible? What kind of huge profits can the Lord Jin promise that Shan Bin will not hesitate to do?" The same goes for those who bear the name of treason."
He murmured in his mouth, and immediately thought of the assassination in his mind. If this matter was true, and he had not yet announced that he would take over the position of commander-in-chief of the Northern Territory, why should Shan Bin rush to attack him? This does not make sense... If this is the case The story is false, what is the purpose of this whistleblower...
When Gao Deng was in a state of confusion, there was a messenger from the army behind him, ordering the soldiers to hurry up and report, saying that Medical Officer Chen asked the general to go quickly.
Worried about Xu An, Gao Deng temporarily suppressed his thoughts and ordered the general to continue to carry out the order to go, while he returned to Lao Chen's place to check Xu An's injury.
There was only one carriage in the army, but it had already been destroyed by the female assassin's night attack. At this time, they could only tear the tent apart and tie it to the four horses at the front, back, left, and right, and let Xu An lie in it for a simple purpose. Used by Bu Yu.
Seeing that it was General Gao who was coming, Lao Chen hurriedly called on his soldiers to stop moving forward, and went forward to meet him and said urgently: "General, just now I saw that the march has slowed down, but it cannot be stopped. Although I used my true energy to protect his heart, but I can’t hold on much longer..."
Gordon did not discuss the report of the partial general with Lao Chen because the matter was too important and involved the general of the army. There was no real evidence. Even Gao Deng did not dare to speak casually. When Lao Chen mentioned it, he postponed it. Regarding the march, the topic only turned to the seriously injured Xu An.
"Didn't you say you could last three to five hours? Why now..."
"General Gao, my true energy can protect General Xu for three to five hours, but... General Xu is too seriously injured. If I introduce my true energy into his body again, I'm afraid he won't be able to hold on." Old Chen frowned. Lock up tightly and reply truthfully.
Gordon's face was so cold that the soldiers around him lowered their heads to avoid him, not daring to look directly into his general's eyes.
"Send a message to the scouts." Gordon was silent for a moment and then spoke coldly.
During the tea time, the scouts had already arrived, kneeling in military salute. Gao Deng kept his eyes fixed on Lao Xu, whose complexion was slightly green, and asked in a deep voice: "How far is it from Yanbei City?"
"Less than fifteen miles!" the scout reported truthfully.
"With the current marching speed, how long will it take to get there?"
"If we march at full speed, we will surely reach Yanbei City within half an hour." The scout made some calculations in his mind and answered truthfully.
Hearing the words, Gao Deng was silent and only looked sideways at Old Chen. When he saw Old Chen nodding slightly, he said, "Go and deliver the order again. No one should slack off. We must arrive at the gate of Yanbei City within half an hour."
After hearing the words, the scouts saluted and left. Not long after, the order had been passed on to the patrolling army. Gao Deng did not go to lead the army again, but stayed beside Xu An and rode forward...
It wasn't until the patrol army left that a man holding a horse appeared in the forest beside the road. As he got closer, he saw the man holding grass and the horse holding a piece of wood. When he saw the patrol army go away, he saw a sinister smile on his sinister face. , spat out the short stick he was chewing, took out a carrier pigeon from the horseback bag, tied a small seal between its feet, and threw it hard into the sky.
The homing pigeon, which had been stuffed in the bag for a long time, was finally no longer restrained, and immediately spread its wings and flew high into the sky, heading towards Yanbei City...
——
In Yanbei City, in Tongguxuan, three people gathered around the stove, but they were not reunited. The three people at the table had their own thoughts, but their faces were harmonious.
"Wang Heng, please give me a toast, sir." Wang Heng picked up the wine cup and raised it to toast.
The Jin envoy gently shook the wine in his cup and raised his glass with a smile as well: "Young Master Wang has made great achievements this time. This is the only way I would like to pay homage to Your Highness."
Xu Mo stood beside Wang Heng. Although he was brooding about the fight in Tonggu Xuanzhong, the Jin envoy was now the guest of his own young master, so he had no choice but to pick up the wine cup with the young master, put on an ugly smile, and toasted to the Jin envoy.
Watching the Jin envoy drink the fine wine from the cup, both of them drank it at the same time. Maybe he thought about the seriousness of the matter. Wang Heng said with a little uneasiness: "Sir, please forgive Wang Heng for talking too much. This Shan Bin is already the commander of the Yanbei Army. Wan Jun If he is captured, he might be able to take over as the commander-in-chief of the Northern Territory, so why are you so sure that he will turn against Qi Yun?"
The Jin envoy looked at the confused Wang Heng, wondering if he was pretending to be stupid or if he really couldn't see through the game. He pondered for a moment and said, "Is what you said about Gao Deng's defection true?"
"It's absolutely true, Elder Xu and I were almost killed in Gordon's patrol." Wang Heng said with certainty.
When the Jin envoy heard about it, he immediately laughed and said, "That's it. Qi Zhuguo is still the disciple of the unparalleled national scholar. This move will wipe out the salary under the kettle. Not only will our Jin's many years of hard work be destroyed in one fell swoop, even that person will not be able to escape." past his eyes."
Wang Heng heard what the Jin envoy said, but seemed to understand. Suddenly he thought of the recent case of Jiang Lin's "ghost walking at night" in Yanbei City, and he suddenly became enlightened. He stood up suddenly and said, "Could it be..."
The Jin envoy smiled and said, "Young Master is indeed very smart."
Wang Heng finally understood what the Jin envoy meant by "drawing fuel from the cauldron", and had to praise his master for using the plan as well as his own master. Then he realized why he wanted to send that message outside the city, his eyes suddenly flashed, and he asked The Jin envoy said, "Do you want to force Shan Bin to rebel?"
The Jin envoy laughed, and his inner strength could not help but flow out of his body, shaking the room. I don't know whether it was Xiao Shanbin who was still dreaming about being crowned king, or whether Wang Heng, who was in front of Xiao, still couldn't see through his plan...
After stopping his laughter, the Jin envoy turned to Wang Heng with a cold look on his face, "Didn't the young master ask me earlier if he lured Shan Bin to rebel against Qi because of this temporary chaos?"
He stood up slowly, and under the gaze of Wang and Xu, he walked slowly to the window and looked to the north. After a while, he seemed to be talking to the two people behind him, more like talking to himself.
"What our master wants is not Qi Yun's temporary chaos... That chess piece was so smart that he thought that by voting for the second prince, he could control his own destiny. It's sad... It's a pity that it ended up being a ghost walking in the night. Come down."
After a moment of sighing, the Jin envoy suddenly turned around and was about to speak to the two people behind him again when he suddenly moved his eyes slightly and turned to the window. The palms of his sleeves were slightly turned, and his five fingers turned into claws. With a sudden grab, something broke through the window paper. was sucked into the palm of the Jin envoy.
Wang and Xu were also considered masters. The moment the Jin envoy took action, they already knew that what was sucked into the palm of the Jin envoy was a homing pigeon, but it was not similar to the homing pigeon of the Golden Knife Sect.
Xu Mo didn't know it, but Wang Heng was very familiar with this homing pigeon anklet...
The envoy of Jin took a piece of secret paper from the pigeon's anklet, glanced slightly, and said to Wang and Xu: "You two, that's enough gossip. Let's find him in the city as soon as possible." Ji whereabouts, we don’t have much time left.”
