Chapter 351 Night Trial Mo Xiu
It is said that Chen Long dived into Yuan Xi's camp at night, but unexpectedly there was an assassin hiding in the water. As the saying goes, being the first to arrive quickly, Chen Long knew that this camp had long been a death trap set for Yuan Xi.
Chen Long was in the water, using gestures to order everyone to stay still. Sure enough, there was a commotion on the shore, and there were shouts of killing. Soon after, there was only a popping sound, and a black figure jumped into the water in the darkness. Once it entered the water, it sank as hard as it could. Chen Long was waiting in the shadow of the water, and cut the man's back of the neck with his palm. The man immediately fainted, with many bubbles coming out of his mouth.
Chen Long quickly inserted a reed tube respirator into his mouth and gave the order to retreat. Everyone landed in the dark, dragged the man sideways, pulled him to the shore, and quickly returned to camp.
Zhou Buyi had been waiting for a long time at Chen Long's tent in the Black Mountain military camp. When he saw his lord coming back, he hurriedly asked: "My lord, have you succeeded?"
Chen Long shook his head and ordered the captured man to be brought in and tied to a chair. He was to be interrogated by lamplight at night.
Zhou Buyi was confused and confused. He thought the person he captured was Yuan Xi. But when he took a closer look, he saw a strong man wearing a black night-walking watersuit. He couldn't help but ask: "Who is this person?"
Chen Long smiled and said: "I want to know too. Come here!" As he said that, he changed his clothes and ordered the guards behind him to wake the man up.
The guard rubbed the man's chest. The man woke up slowly and found that he was tied up. He struggled a few times and saw several men in military uniforms in front of him. We know each other, maybe there’s a misunderstanding?”
When Lu Chang waited for his change of clothes and came in, a group of big men surrounded the man. Even though the man had a strong character, he was already a little panicked. Lu Chang held a bright dagger in his hand, looked at the man angrily, and asked: "Who sent you?"
The man saw that the other party's military uniform was not that of the Jizhou army, and he was even more confused. He entered the Yuan family's army to assassinate him, but why was it that another army caught him? This is too unbelievable.
The man was stunned for a moment and then said: "Master, which army are you from? What do you want? If you want to kill or behead, let me know for sure."
Lu Chang still wanted to scare him, so Chen Long waved his hand and said, "Tell me first, did you succeed in assassinating the second son of the Yuan family?"
The man's expression changed, and he thought, couldn't this matter be hidden from the person in front of him? He gritted his teeth and refused to answer.
Chen Long sneered and said: "Hero, to tell you the truth, Yuan Xi is my biggest enemy. If you kill him, I may consider letting you go home to see me."
The man thought that he had fallen into the hands of Yuan Xi's enemies, and suddenly heard the hope of survival. Was it a bit unjust to die like this, and he felt a desire to cooperate.
Thinking of this, the man said: "Yuan Xi has taken possession of my wife, and I will kill him. General, if you are Yuan Xi's opponent, you should thank me for killing your enemy."
Chen Long pretended to suddenly realize: "It turns out that you have a personal grudge with him! As the saying goes, the hatred of a wife is irreconcilable. I didn't expect that you are still a hot-blooded man. I admire you!"
The man's expression improved and he thought Chen Long was about to let him go. Unexpectedly, Chen Long took the dagger from Lu Chang's hand and inserted the dagger into his thigh.
The dagger happened to be inserted into the area on the thigh where the nerves are concentrated. The man roared in pain, and his body suddenly bounced, but was restrained by the rope. He fell to the ground with the chair and he screamed in pain.
Chen Long looked at the man coldly, snorted and said: "Do you think I am a fool? This knife is to punish you for telling lies."
The man was panting and said harshly: "General, every word of mine is true. Where is the lie?"
Chen Long grabbed the handle of the dagger and stirred it, and the man immediately screamed in pain. Chen Long said: "What's your name? If you still don't do it, your leg won't be cured and you will be lame for the rest of your life. Even if I let you go back, I'm afraid your master won't let you live in the world, right?"
The man couldn't resist the pain and shouted: "I'm doing it! I'm doing it!"
Chen Long stopped his hand, stood up gracefully, and acted like he was all ears. The man trembled and said: "The villain Mo Xiu is a disciple of the Sword Immortal Wang Yue. This time he came to assassinate Yuan Xi, and he was actually ordered by his master."
Chen Long wanted to talk nonsense, but he didn't point it out. He asked: "It turns out that he is a disciple of the Sword Immortal. No wonder he succeeded. Why is Yuan Xi the target of the assassination?"
Mo Xiu said: "Yuan Shao occupies Jizhou and is very powerful. He has long been listed as a must-kill target by the great Situ Wang Yun and his master. Yuan Shao and several of his sons are within the assassination range. However, Yecheng is heavily guarded and cannot succeed for a while. It was only after Yuan Xi led his troops out that they came to assassinate him at night."
Chen Long's heart moved. Wang Yue had always accepted good and bad disciples. This person's words were half-truths and half-falsities, which were difficult to expose. He nodded and asked: "It makes sense. But Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan are also leading troops outside, so why haven't they heard of anyone assassinating them?"
The man didn't react so quickly, he hesitated and said: "They also have brothers there who are following, so I think they haven't had a chance to succeed yet."
Chen Long made a sound and asked: "Does Yuan Jun have any insiders like you? Otherwise, how could he succeed so easily?"
Mo Xiu thought about the trial match. He was afraid that Chen Long would not believe him if he said there was no internal response, so he hurriedly said: "Yes, but he died in the battle just now."
Chen Long leaned over and grasped the handle of the dagger again. Mo Xiu's face turned black with fear, and his teeth chattered as he said, "General, what I told is the truth! By the way, if the general lets me go, there will be rewards in the future."
Chen Long stopped, looked at Mo Xiu and said, "Oh, if I spare you, tell me what kind of reward you will get in the future."
Mo Xiu said: "I have been in Jizhou for a long time, and I am familiar with the geography. Many Jizhou officials have been bribed by me. Since the general is an enemy of Yuan Xi, he must always fight against Yuan's army, so I am willing to be an internal correspondent."
Chen Long snorted and said, "Being my spy? I can sell a lot of people like you, so let's forget it!" He then grabbed the handle of the dagger again.
The man hurriedly said: "Wait a minute! General, the people I mentioned as bribes include Yuan Shang, the third young master of the Yuan family. Yuan Xi is dead, and he will be the future leader of Jizhou. Can the general use it?"
Chen Long pretended to be surprised and said: "Yuan Shang?" Then he suddenly realized: "The person who wants Yuan Xi to die the most turns out to be Yuan Shang! Hahaha, it turns out that you are using the children of the Yuan family to seize the legitimate heirs and take advantage of the situation to cause trouble! Wang Yun is clever ah!"
Mo Xiu said with a beaming smile: "General, you really know everything. In the future, I will also speak kind words for the general in front of Wang Da Situ. He is a person close to the emperor. If there is a reward, general, don't forget to be there."
Chen Long smiled secretly and reached for the dagger stuck in his leg. Mo Xiu was so frightened that he shook the dagger when he said it well. Did he not believe what he said?
Chen Long fiercely pulled out the dagger, bringing out a pool of blood, and then quickly applied pressure to stop the bleeding. Mo Xiu screamed and fainted from the pain. Chen Long asked someone to bandage him and apply medicine.
Zhou Buyi came over and said, "If what this person said is true, how should we use it?"
If you want to know what happens next, listen to the explanation next time.
