Chapter 595 Qiang Thorns in Huangzhong
It is said that Chen Long and the two guards received the intelligence from Yan Xing, so they changed into night clothes and followed the mark left by Hao Pu to the long bridge on the Wei River at the edge of the city.
The long bridge is just an iron cable crossing the river, so it sways and swings in the wind. There were no lights on the other side, and it was all pitch black. It was obvious that the other side of the river was a wilderness area. The signal indicated that Hao Pu should have followed him across the Wei River. Chen Long did not hesitate and took the lead on the rickety long cable bridge.
There was a sound of running water underfoot. It was obvious that the flow was not slow, and the three of them followed suit. Suddenly, a hidden arrow was shot from the other side, and the wind blew with it. It was obvious that the person who fired the arrow had strong arms. The three of them instantly drew out their daggers to block. Unexpectedly, the rope bridge sank, and the iron ropes were broken by someone.
Chen Long's group breathing skill exploded under his feet. He clicked the iron rope several times to use his strength, did some somersaults in mid-air, and finally got his feet on the ground. As soon as his body landed on the ground, arrows were coming from all over the sky. Chen Long suddenly thought out of his wits, and his internal energy was quickly compressed into a ball by the group breath technique, and he bombarded the dark place where the arrows came from.
The sound of pain immediately sounded in the darkness, and the black shadows fled heavily. Chen Long spotted a person, leaped tens of meters, and reached the person's head. He grabbed his collar and flew into the low bushes nearby. Under the sharp Persian knife, the man quickly softened. What Chen Long didn't expect was that the people who laid the trap on the other side of the long bridge were actually Han Sui's men, who came specifically for Yan Xing, who had escaped from marriage.
According to this person's confession, there was indeed a person crossing the bridge just now. They shot him off the long bridge and fell into the river. He did not know whether he lived or died. Chen Long felt heartbroken, wondering if the person who fell into the river was Hao Pu who was following Yan Xing? Unexpectedly, stalking Yan Xing would put Hao Pu into a crisis. I don't know if Yan Xing did it intentionally, but thinking about it, it was wrong.
Chen Long thought for a while and asked, "Who is the one who provided you with the information to set the trap here?" Only by asking the source of the information clearly can we know who knows Yan Xing's whereabouts.
The archer paused slightly, and Chen Long's sword immediately tightened, almost sinking into his Adam's apple. The man's breathing became rapid, and he quickly said: "Hero, show mercy! We are the most elite Huangzhong Qiang assassins under Han Sui, Yan Xing How can you avoid our tracking?"
Chen Long repeated: "Huangzhong Qiang thorn? What the hell is that?"
The man rolled his eyes, not expecting that his captor was so ignorant, and gasped: "Han Dashuai was famous in Xizhou when he was young, and Huangzhong was his base. At that time, the Qiang Rong gathered here, and they were all willing to obey Han Dashuai's orders. Later, many people gathered here One hundred thousand people, they successively defeated the sieges of Huangfu Song, Zhang Wen, Dong Zhuo and other famous Han generals. From these hundreds of thousands of people, Marshal Han selected 5,000 elite troops to train in martial arts, equestrianism, archery and other techniques. We were responsible for the personal guards, but we were actually engaged in assassination activities. Later, we gradually became famous and were called Huangzhong Qiang Ci. The leader was the chief military advisor Cheng Gongying."
Chen Longxin discovered that the Huangzhong Qiang Ci were the special forces under Han Sui. They were exactly the same as the Qinglong Special Forces, Cao Cao's Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, and Gongsun Zan's White Horse Yi Cong. No wonder they were so powerful. After thinking about it, he was actually led by this person to disrupt the rhythm of the interrogation. He snorted and said: "I am asking Yan Xing's every move. How do you know clearly? Only those who predict his course of action would set up something like this. precise trap."
Setting up traps cannot be done through surveillance. Some information must be obtained in advance. The man shut up again, and said with a hint of threat: "I think the good man is not from the Western Regions. What does Yan Xing have to do with you? Why do you need to go into this muddy water? If you offend the commander, no matter who you are, I'm afraid you will also There is no way to escape death."
Chen Long couldn't help but feel so happy, he showed his big white teeth and said: "If you dare to stroke my dragon beard, I will break off your thorns first. Do you want to tell me, who is the source of the information?" After that, he thrust the tip of the knife through his jaw. Said: "If you don't say anything, you will die in front of your eyes."
The Qiang Thorn archer suddenly felt a sharp pain and felt blood dripping from his chin. He quickly looked at him begging for mercy. Chen Long let go of the knife. The archer said: "I'm just following orders." Chen Long's knife Coming forward again, the man hurriedly said: "But I have seen the person who came into contact with our leader, who seems to be the housekeeper of the city lord's mansion."
Chen Long's heart immediately stirred up huge waves. If it was Zhang Ji and Zhang Ji who provided the information, it could be said that the thief shouted to catch the thief, or that Yan Xingxin was in the wrong person. Think about it, Zhang Ji first used words to stabilize Yan Xing, then introduced Li Ru as bait, then informed Han Sui's men about Yan Xing's information, and used the opportunity of Li Ru's appointment with Yan Xing to lure out Yan Xing and let the Qiang assassins set up a trap. A good trap to shoot him. This plan is so clean and flawless that Yan Xing may not know until his death that Zhang Ji and his son have already betrayed him, and Zhang Ji and his son do not have to face the wrath of the Yan Xing family.
It gradually became clear to Chen Long that it seemed that Zhang Ji still wanted to betray Yan Xing to take credit. His ambition was naturally to stabilize Han Sui, but his superficial surrender did not mean his true support for Han Sui. Yan Xing was just treated as a loyal scapegoat by Zhang Ji and his son. After selling him, he had to help count the money. He was really smart and cruel!
Chen Long couldn't help but look at Zhang Ji with admiration. Such an opponent must not be underestimated. From this point of view, the person who was shot down just now may really be Yan Xing who fell into the trap, but what about Hao Pu who was following him?
After a few more interrogations, no more information could be obtained. Chen Long said with a smile: "It's okay not to kill you, but I am missing an insider among the Qiang Ci. Are you a Qiang or another ethnic group? I think you will be my insider." It’s quite appropriate.”
As soon as these words came out, the man was startled, but he thought about surviving first, and replied: "Hero! Can you tell me who your power is?" Chen Long did not answer, but turned over and jumped into the sky. He walked away and said, "I will find you again!" The man frowned and watched Chen Long fly away. His opponent was so skilled in martial arts, who knew who he was from?
Chen Long came to the shore at night and found Xiaoyun and Xiaoyu hugging each other for warmth. As a matter of professional quality, special forces members must protect themselves first when the enemy is strong and we are weak, so the two were not in a hurry. Find the lord. After the three of them met, there was no chain bridge to walk on, so they had to swim again and finally returned to the big shed where they were hiding.
The eyes of the special operations team members at the entrance of the greenhouse lit up and they hurriedly led the master into the greenhouse. Chen Long knew that something was going on. With a glance, he discovered that a secret tent had been set up inside. The soaked team member sitting at the entrance of the tent was not Hao Pu but who is it?
Overjoyed, Chen Long jumped over and asked, "Hao Pu, are you okay?"
Hao Pu had already stood up, made a military salute and replied: "My lord, Yan Xing is in the tent and has been seriously injured."
Chen Long had expected it. As soon as he lifted the tent and stepped in, he was hit by darkness and the smell of medicine. There was one person lying on the wooden bed, and the upper body of the finely decorated body was covered with white bandages. His breathing was quick and slow, and he was still unconscious.
Chen Long sat down slowly and looked at this man's handsome face, knowing that this was Yan Xing and Yan Yanming, the generals of the Western Region during the Three Kingdoms period who almost killed Ma Chao in official history and had a fatal fight with Han Sui, the overlord of the Western Region.
If you want to know what happens next, listen to the explanation next time.
