The night is getting darker.
The border town of Beiguan was in turmoil. The city was under full martial law and officers and soldiers were everywhere.
The assassination of General Wei Qing is no small matter.
Cao Qiao rode to a mansion in the central area of the border city and dismounted.
Accompanied by several secret guards, he walked into the mansion.
As soon as he entered the main entrance of the mansion, he saw blood stains in the courtyard and cracked ravines on the ground.
The huge arrows from the ballista that had attacked them on the long street were filled with arrows in the courtyard.
There is also a human-shaped bloodstain on the wall in front of the temple... There were soldiers nailed to the wall by arrows here, and the blood slowly stained the wall red.
Wei Qing settled here.
"There are not many people from the other side, but they are all very skilled. In addition to the ballistae, they also use an array of mechanisms made by the ink workers."
A secret agent came up to explain to Cao Qiao the process of the attack here.
"Fortunately, General Wei is surrounded by elites from hundreds of battles, plus our secret agents, so we didn't cause any big trouble."
"At that time, a maid in the mansion behaved abnormally and tried to attack the general from behind."
Cao Qiao glanced around with his bright eyes.
The two incidents we encountered tonight were short-lived, but the battle situation was very fierce. Just a slight mistake could lead to the opponent taking over.
"Cao Qiao, the secret agent, has met the general!"
The lamps in the hall were burning high, and Cao Qiao saluted Wei Qing, who was sitting behind a low mat in the center.
Wei Qing is writing on a simple scroll, writing lightly and with a calm and calm demeanor.
After years of fighting, he has encountered no matter how bad the situation is.
He didn't take the incident tonight to heart.
Wei Qing stopped writing and looked at Cao Qiao calmly but firmly: "How is the situation?"
Cao Qiao said respectfully: "Back to General, the situation is under control. Those who attacked were either dead or injured, and all were captured."
"Have you ever been interrogated?"
"K has asked, but this force in the dark is very hidden. Everyone is only responsible for what they know, and the clues to the top are cut off."
Cao Qiao said: "This is the first time for these people to take action openly in the secret. It is very different from their previous methods. Many of the arrangements I made before were focused on preventing the other party's secret attacks, such as poisoning, cold arrows, or sending people close Assassination and other means."
"I didn't expect that they would take action openly and even use a ballista. It was my negligence that disturbed the general."
Wei Qing said without hesitation: "How can it be as good as one wishes when fighting against the enemy?"
If you can learn from experience and finally find out these secret people and get rid of them, it will be the best explanation for the dead tribesmen.
An unspeakable emotion welled up in Cao Qiao's heart.
Huo Qubing and Wei Qing's nephew and uncle gave people completely different impressions.
Huo Qubing has always been fierce and forward-looking. Therefore, he had less than a thousand troops under his command, but he dared to attack the Xiongnu rear area. In one battle, he became famous all over the world.
The light is dazzling.
Wei Qing has an innate generosity that makes people feel at ease, as if fighting side by side with him will eventually win the final victory.
What the two of them have in common is that they both give people a sense of firmness and unshakable courage.
"In addition to our arrangements, Huo Hou also has other arrangements, which should have already begun."
Cao Qiao felt a slight chill in his heart when he thought of the unpopular figure who came to Beiguan with him.
I was attacked on the long street just now. There was a presence in the dark, hiding and watching the battle, and then retreated.
The person Huo Qubing sent over at that time followed him. I wonder what the situation is now?
A little earlier, another mansion in the city.
The author of Huo Qubing's trumpet was resurrected, his cold and ruthless eyes fixed on the two people in front of him.
His voice was cold and dull, as if coming from his belly: "Who is under the control of the two of you?"
The two people were silent about the 'weirdo' in front of them. They always felt that this person was eerie and indescribably scary.
"The two of us only know that we are led by an honored envoy, but we don't know the details!"
They also had many doubts in their hearts, but they never dared to ask more questions and responded:
"If there is an order handed down, the envoy will send a message to the two of me using a writing slip."
The writing slip, that is, the kind of writing slip used for communication, is the main contact information of the secret forces... In the mind of the writer, Huo Qubing's differentiated soul thought, and said: "Do you two know who I am?"
The two of them glanced at the writer subconsciously, feeling stunned again.
This man didn't seem to blink since he came in. His eyes seemed to contain supernatural powers, covering the two of them from a distance.
It was the first time the two met someone so powerful and weird that they didn't even need to blink an eye.
"I don't know the specific identity of Your Majesty! Please tell me, Your Majesty!" Li Ling said with his head lowered.
The old man's eyes narrowed slightly, and he was secretly mobilizing the strength in his body, observing the writer in front of him, and being ready to respond at any time.
He was experienced and not without suspicion, but the other party's gesture was indeed correct, and it had an intimidating dignity that made him dare not act rashly.
I don’t know who the author is, Huo Qubing’s thoughts flashed.
His top priority now is to find out the author's status within the cult organization and to complete the confrontation with the other party. Only then can the next plan be successfully implemented.
The writer reached into his sleeve and took out a bronze slip with a cyan halo: "Do you recognize this thing?"
The young Li Ling looked confused and did not recognize the bronze slip with the small world sealed inside.
The old man was suddenly shocked and showed an incredible look. Not only did his suspicion disappear, but he also knelt down, his expression more respectful than before, and said in a trembling voice: "But in front of Yin Zun?"
Is Yin Zun the title of the writer?
This simple book has a small memory, which is far beyond the comparison of ordinary treasures. This kind of rare artifact is likely to be unique and can serve as a proof of identity... Huo Qubing took it out and tried it, and it turned out to be true.
The writer in the room suddenly snorted coldly.
The old man's body trembled, and he interpreted in his own mind the meaning of the writer's cold snort, and said: "I shouldn't have doubted Yin Zun's identity just now, please Yin Zun punish me."
At this time, when Li Ling heard Yin Zun's name, his body trembled, and he knelt down: "I have met Yin Zun, and I am willing to die for Yin Zun."
It seems that the identity of the author is a leader within the cult, not a small leader, and his status is very high.
"The matter planned by Beiguan this time is extremely important, so I came here in person. Do you two know the purpose of my coming here?" The writer continued to make a voice without any emotion.
"I don't know."
The two people became more and more respectful: "Can you please give me your instructions?"
"What plans do you have in Beiguan? Let me know." The writer said.
"Our current plan has just been completed. We will attack Wei Qing in two directions. We don't expect success in one attempt, as long as we can clearly detect the protective force around Wei Qing."
Before we act next time, the responsible envoy will send us a message and tell us what to do? Li Ling answered quickly.
Knowing that the person in front of him was Yin Zun, he was extremely excited and wanted to express himself and enhance the impression of Yin Zun.
"Where are you going before I come?" the writer asked.
"There has been an incident in this city, and it must be sealed and thoroughly investigated. We are going to the next place and waiting for new orders."
"Then let's go."
After the two of them stayed together, Yin Zun wanted to go with them?
This hidden master suddenly appeared, and his behavior was so unpredictable that it was difficult for people to understand.
The two of them didn't dare to ask any more questions, and immediately stood up and left as instructed, heading to the next location.
During the march, Li Ling and Li Ling could not feel the breath of the hidden master next to them at all.
Unless you look back, you can neither hear any movement nor feel the breath of this hidden master, such as body temperature or breathing.
I don’t know how advanced Yin Zun’s cultivation is, and all the fluctuations of strangers have been restrained... The two of them thought to themselves.
The three of them walked through the house late at night, relying on their skills to find their way out of the small town and merge into the darkness.
Huo Qubing, who completed the initial laning in Chang'an, is quite satisfied with the addition of a trumpet.
Because this arrangement was of profound value, it meant that he and Ru Bohu had turned from defense to offense against this secret force, driving a nail into the opponent's interior.
Repay the other person with his own way.
Subsequent promotion will need to be done step by step.
"The next thing we should do is to find out the structure of this secret force as soon as possible and who else is hiding in the secret. The second thing is what methods they use to control and influence others."
“Only when we find out the reasons can we deal with it better.”
Huo Qubing thought: "The war with the Xiongnu is about to begin. If the identity of the writer can be properly used, it may be a good opportunity."
"The secret force must have very few core personnel so that it can always be hidden below the water. The author is undoubtedly the core of it. He is called the Hidden Lord..."
As Huo Qubing's thoughts were rising and falling, he found that his book of sea knowledge slowly unfolded to reveal a new piece of paper, with bright and dim writing on it:
"Taking advantage of its darkness and chaos, it makes it weak and without a master. Follow it and enter the banquet in the dark."
This is fishing in troubled waters among the thirty-six strategies of military strategists.
This strategy uses elephant theory, which means that when fighting, we must seize the opportunities that the enemy can take advantage of, make the chaos conform to our wishes, and make profits out of the chaos.
Let the author return to the power of darkness by borrowing corpses and resurrecting souls, and plan according to his own wishes, which is exactly in line with the essence of military strategy of fishing in troubled waters.
This strategy appeared in the military book, which was not unexpected by Huo Qubing.
As the new battle plan emerged, the military strategy became brighter, and a military aura was sent into the Sea of Knowledge Soldier Talisman, which promoted Huo Qubing's power.
The most amazing change came from the emergence of the strategy of fishing in troubled waters, and it was actually connected with the brief film recording the plan of resurrecting the corpse.
In the war books, the bamboo slips of strategies for reviving corpses and fishing in troubled waters shifted on their own and came together.
Huo Qubing was stunned.
This change is due to the author awakening by resurrecting the corpse, and then he was able to fish in troubled waters, so the two strategies are related to each other?
In other words, these tactics in the military book can be superimposed and combined to form a chain of tactics, which will increase the scope and power of the tactics.
Huo Qubing thought in his mind and tried it.
Soon, the bamboo slips recording the secret plan began to move.
Borrowing corpses to bring back souls, fishing in troubled waters, and hiding the truth...the three strategies finally intertwined, and the energy spread doubled.
The writer who was thousands of miles away also experienced subtle changes.
The real situation inside his body seems to be obscured by a kind of heavenly secret, making it increasingly difficult to decipher the reality.
The attribute of concealing the truth has been added, further concealing the true situation of the author's death.
At this moment, Huo Qubing was practicing cultivation again, and the energy in his body was surging, as powerful as a river. His own military strength is also growing invisibly, and he continues to approach the next level.
