Six hundred miles further north in Chisong County, you can see the Great Wall of Han Dynasty.
Inside and outside the winding Great Wall, the small-scale and small-scale battles between the two huge empires of Han and Qin were intensifying.
As long as the two sides meet, they will fight to the death. Although both sides maintain facial restraint, dozens to hundreds of soldiers are still injured or killed every day.
The hatred between the two countries is as deep as the sea!
There is peace in the midst of uncertainty. There is still a place of peace along the Great Wall in Bozhou. The Hecheng between Sunjiang County and Kecheng County can barely be regarded as a model example of the two countries abiding by the covenant they made back then!
For many years, Hecheng has always adhered to the principle of one city and two governance. People come and go, and there are not only 100,000 but also 80,000 people entering and leaving the city every day. People wear minks, brocades, raincoats, and knife-resistant people. , those who play with guns, those who play with axes, all kinds of things, a mixture of fish and dragons, ever-changing.
On the day when Chu Rushui came to visit Xun Yu.
A young man wearing a raincoat and a bamboo hat, leading a horse covered with torn sacks, walked slowly on the road from south to north.
The man was unremarkable and did not attract attention.
After passing the Great Qin Pass, the man found a lush forest. He went deep into the forest, took off his raincoat and bamboo hat, opened his arms, and moved his muscles lazily. As he moved, his muscles and bones unconsciously crackled, and his momentum suddenly increased. .
After a few breaths, the man grabbed the torn sack on the horse's back with one arm, his muscles bulged and he exerted force. The torn sack flew far away, and a majestic horse appeared in front of the man.
The man took out a palm-sized waist badge from his arms. There was an eagle's head engraved on the waist badge. The eagle's eyes were inlaid with two small red agates. In the copper mouth of the eagle's head, there was the word 'spring' in its mouth.
Anyone who is familiar with the Great Qin military system should know that this is the Eagle Head waist badge, which is the symbol of the Eagle Eye Guard among the Nine Heavenly Wolf Guards. The identity of this man is self-evident.
The role of the Eagle Eye Guard, who is responsible for investigation, is almost the same as that of the Changshui Guard of the Han Dynasty. Its internal classification is based on spring, summer, autumn and winter, and the "Spring" waist badge held by the man indicates that his Kung Fu realm has at least reached the realm of breaking a city or causing damage. In the material realm, he was considered a high-ranking officer in the Qin Empire.
The man with the body of a tiger and the waist of a wolf and the arms of an ape put on his waist tag, took off his water bag, washed the back of the horse's nose, sat firmly on the carved saddle astride the dragon colt, and whipped the horse northward. His back was so free and elegant.
The man's real name is Tuoba Shijiang, and he comes from the Tuoba family, one of the Eight Pillars of the Qin Dynasty. Two months ago, Tuoba Shijiang was ordered to disguise himself as a man in the fur business and sneak into Chang'an to find out the news.
It was common practice for the Han and Qin Dynasties to arrange spies for each other. Tuoba Shijiang only regarded this trip as an ordinary rotation. When he arrived at the stronghold, he would follow orders and sit in Chang'an. When the time was up, he would return to his country to report on his duties and then go again.
There has been a change in the governor. According to the intelligence compiled by the Eagle Eye Guards scattered throughout Chang'an, the Huwei Guards of the Han Empire are gathering momentum. The day before yesterday, Huwei Zhonglang General Liu Ben took advantage of the night to set off with his entire army and march silently to the northeast. , which makes people feel strange.
The head of the Eagle Eye Guard, who was in charge of the affairs of the First Department of Chang'an City, was also unambiguous. He immediately gathered his troops to focus on investigating the matter. Following the clues, a surprising piece of news was summarized on the head's desk.
The Han Empire is going to use troops against Goguryeo!
In recent years, the Goguryeo Kingdom has built plank roads in secret, and is submissive to the Han Empire on the surface, but secretly flatters the Qin Empire. If the Han Empire attacks Goguryeo, the Qin Empire will inevitably respond.
This was an urgent military plane, so there was no room for delay. The commander immediately ordered Tuoba Shijiang to carry the secret message and quickly return to Tianlang City to deliver the message.
Tuoba Shijiang also knew that the matter was serious and did not dare to delay for a moment. He rode on a fast horse and avoided the pursuit of Changshui Guards. It took more than half a month to finally go on a thousand-mile journey and enter Hecheng in circles. Only when you reach Nanzhu Road can you enter the house.
After returning to his home country, Tuoba Shijiang became less wary after taking off his disguise. He indulged himself in the world and galloped faster and faster. The lush green forest of more than ten miles was about to be passed through in the blink of an eye.
Suddenly, Tuoba Shijiang's mind trembled, and he said to himself, "No," and immediately reined in his horse lightly. He saw a person suddenly appear from the ground in front of him, his right hand reached out, and he had already grasped the throat of the horse that was sitting down. The grip was so strong that his fingers grabbed such a vital part of the horse, and he had to kill the horse.
Tuoba Shijiang didn't hesitate at all, kicked off his feet, flew into the air, and ran away.
After landing, Tuoba Shijiang took a closer look. As he expected, the horse was killed by the claws of the attackers underground. It ended up with its head and body separated. The horse's head was in the air and its body ran a long way before stopping.
Tuoba Shijiang couldn't help but broke into a cold sweat. If he hadn't tightened the reins of the horse and slowed down the horse's speed, the claw would have firmly penetrated the horse's belly and caught himself.
Before he had time to think about it, the assassin on the opposite side missed a single blow and rushed towards Tuoba Shijiang with his right hand that was already covered in blood. Tuoba Shijiang was not polite and fought with fists.
An expert would know if there was any as soon as he made a move. With just three rounds of fists and claws intersecting, Tuoba Shijiang realized that the assassin in front of him was not as good as himself, and should be around the monument-pushing realm.
At this time, Tuoba Shijiang's arrogance greatly increased, and he also used his moves widely. When the two of them crossed paths, Tuoba Shijiang suddenly stopped, raised his fist, and struck the assassin on the back.
The assassin only felt that Tuoba Shijiang had hit him with one punch, and the pain was unbearable. If he received a few more punches, he would faint and die. The identity of the assassin who was able to kill this person right here and now is self-evident. He was the Changshui Guard who followed Tuoba Shijiang all the way from Chang'an.
Although the Changshui guard found the most appropriate time to take action, Tuoba Shijiang was more skilled and managed to escape without any danger. At this moment, Tuoba Shijiang, who was an inch better than him, had already defeated Changshui. The guard has lost his temper. In just a few rounds, this Changshui guard will probably be defeated.
The guards of Changshui roared fiercely. Although they fought vigorously, they could only defend but not attack, and they had lost all power to fight back. As time passed, Tuoba Shijiang found an opportunity for the Changshui Guard to take a breath. He suddenly increased his fist speed and punched the middle of the palace. He punched the Changshui Guard's chest with a straight fist. A direct hit in the chest caused the Changshui Guard to fly out with blood. Splashed in the air.
Tuoba Shijiang chuckled and ended the battle!
The Changshui guard who fell on the ground stared at Tuoba Shijiang and wanted to take a breath. He had just taken half a breath when suddenly there was a sound and a figure came out of the ground again. A big hand came up and grabbed him. He grabbed his neck and twisted it from left to right. The sound of cracking bones was heard, and the Changshui guard died of hatred.
Tuoba Shijiang, who was standing there, also had a blank look on his face. He originally wanted to catch him alive, but unexpectedly he was killed by the man in front of him with a chokehold. It was hard to say whether it was a pity or an irritation.
The man turned his head and saw a man with a broad face, square lips and protruding eyes, a slender figure and a slim figure. When the man saw Tuoba Shijiang, he grinned, "Brother, I'm late!"
It turned out to be Fang Qing, Pao Ze and Fang Qing, who was also under the same name as Hawkeye Wei Chun.
The Eagle Eye Guard is well-organized, and to ensure the smooth completion of their missions, the Spring Killers usually travel in pairs. This Fang Qing is the partner assigned to him by Captain Luan Yidao of the Eagle Eye Guard seven years ago.
After seven years of spring and autumn, the two of them had a tacit understanding as if they were one person. It is not surprising that they would come here to rescue them today.
Tuoba Shijiang laughed loudly and stepped forward to hug Fang Qing, "You miss me so much! Brother."
"Go, go! It's disgusting!" Fang Qing pushed Kaiba Shijiang, "Let's go! Don't delay."
"Okay! Let's drink again when we return to Sirius City."
After saying this, Tuoba Shijiang turned around and left first. Suddenly, Tuoba Shijiang's eyes widened, his mouth was slightly sweet, and blood slid down the corners of his mouth. He looked back at Fang Qing in disbelief, and saw a golden vertebra penetrated from his back and penetrated into Tuoba Shijiang's heart.
"I am a Han Chinese!" Fang Qing said with an expressionless face and a hoarse and cold voice, "This is a serious matter, so I have to do it as a last resort. The enemy is an enemy, and brothers are brothers. I'm sorry!"
Tuoba Shijiang smiled miserably, yelled, and punched out with all his strength. Fang Qing was unable to dodge among the lightning and flint, and his whole head was blown far away. After exhausting his strength, Tuoba Shijiang's blood flowed out. The sound flowed out of his mouth uncontrollably, and he lay beside a tree, motionless, waiting quietly for death.
After a short while, a soft hum came from Tuoba Shijiang's mouth. Tuoba Shijiang's originally hazy mind gradually became clearer. After probing, the golden spine inserted behind his back cleverly avoided all the important points. The acupuncture point was not inserted into the heart, but was offset by three points, inserted into the gap between the ribs. Although he had vomited blood in his mouth just now, it was definitely not human blood vomited from damaged internal organs, but ordinary blood vomited out after blood entered the intestines and stomach.
In other words, what I suffered was just a relatively serious flesh wound. The skin was damaged, but the internal organs were not damaged. It would take some time to heal.
This mistake is absolutely unforgivable for a professional killer who has been working for half his life.
Unless this killer did it deliberately and deliberately let loose!
When he thought of this, Tuoba Shijiang's eyes were startled, tears welled up unconsciously, and he said with a moving voice and a trembling voice, "Brothers are brothers, enemies are enemies, I'm sorry! I'm sorry!"
After wailing loudly, Tuoba Shi Jiang Jingshen wiped away his tears, pulled out the golden vertebrae, carefully kept it, treated the wounds, hastily buried Fang Qing and the Changshui guard, staggered, and got back on the road.
The whole forest returned to silence, as if several people had never been there, leaving only the graves of Fang Qing and his wife lying there quietly, looking southward alone at the hometown he could never return to.
In the forest today, I don’t know who betrayed whom?
To be entrusted by others is to be loyal to others; to eat the king's salary is to die for the king.
When Tuoba Shijiang returned to Tianlang City, his eye sockets were sunken, his complexion was sallow, his eyes were bloodshot, his lips were cracked due to long-term dryness, and his hair was very messy, as if a gust of wind would blow him over.
After entering the city, Tuoba Shijiang's mission was not completed. Instead, he personally handed the secret letter into the hands of the guard captain Luan Yidao before falling leisurely.
The power turmoil in the Great Qin Imperial City has arisen once again!
