Chapter 68
"How, how is the matter going?" While Su Dingfang was talking with the lieutenant general, Hu Lun also asked the leading man in black in his study.

"Don't worry, my lord. We took advantage of the darkness to lie in ambush on the hillside next to the barracks, and shot a group of patrolling soldiers with a strong bow, alarming the entire barracks." The man in black said coldly without the slightest emotion.

"Okay, Su Dingfang must be very satisfied with this gift! You did a good job, how about your casualties?" Hu Lun asked again.

"We killed several brothers. In addition to a few minor injuries, three of them were killed in one blow. One of them was out of the range of the army's bows and arrows when they retreated, but they were still killed by a single blow. The arrow was nailed to the ground, it was really scary!" The man in black finally had some emotional fluctuations, and recalling the horrific scene just now, he was still a little frightened.

"Compared to you, you have always boasted that you are unparalleled in archery." Hu Lun was also very shocked, because he clearly knew the abilities of his subordinates, especially this leader, who was proficient in bows and arrows. Within a hundred shots, a hundred hits, within a hundred steps, there are no mistakes!
"I'm not as far away as him!" The man in black said simply without any twitching.For him, being inferior to others in skills means inferior in skills, and there is nothing to be ashamed of.

"Hey, so powerful, I'm afraid it's Su Dingfang himself. Others say that he was able to control the entire army because he was the first to follow that son-in-law and was the most trusted person. Now it seems that he is indeed capable. Alright, that's great! It's just that no matter how powerful your force is, you'll still be constrained by your intellect!" Hu Lun said loudly, not feeling scared.

"You go down. You can't act without my order these two days. I'm afraid there will be a good show tomorrow." Hu Lun was thoughtful.

"Here."

Early the next morning, Su Dingfang sent soldiers to continue recruiting at the gate of the city, and he himself brought his lieutenant into the city again. He wanted to test Hu Lun again to see if the old fox was still watertight.

"What, there is such a daring thief who dared to attack the general's camp at night and caused casualties to the soldiers. He is really bold and heinous!" After hearing Su Dingfang's words, Hu Lun seemed to hear it for the first time. Shocked, he condemned in pain.

"This general did not expect that there would be people who dared to attack the army in the territory of the county magistrate Hu, just outside the city gate. My deputy general fought against them for several rounds, and both sides were injured. Afterwards, we learned from the corpses they left , found some unusual things, so I came here to seek advice from County Magistrate Hu." Su Dingfang had known for a long time that Hu Lun would pretend not to know anything, and said to himself.

"I don't dare to give advice, but I would be happy to help you if you need help!" Hu Lun's face remained unchanged, but his hands hidden in his sleeves trembled unconsciously. Although it was secretive, Su Dingfang noticed it.

"Sure enough, it's this old thief. Hmph, when the time comes, I will have your head on your neck as a farewell farewell for my brothers on Huangquan Road!"

Su Dingfang gave the deputy general a look, and the deputy general understood. He clapped his hands and let a few soldiers guarding outside come in. Each of them held some blood-stained clothes, bows and arrows in their hands.

Su Dingfang walked up to them, picked up a bow with his hand, drew it into a full moon towards Hu Lun, and then made an aiming motion. Although there was no bow and arrow on the string, Hu Lun still felt a huge murderous intent instantly. Locking himself, he was so scared that his back was sweating coldly, and he didn't dare to move.

Su Dingfang gently opened the bowstring, and the string was still trembling when it was retracted. Then Hu Lun felt his murderous intent dissipate, and his tense body softened. If he hadn't been sitting on the chair, he would have collapsed on the ground.He knew that Su Dingfang deliberately wanted to embarrass him, and he must have doubted himself.

"Magnificent Hu, please look at these bows. Although these bows are not the same as those used in the Han army, the shape, material and production process of each bow are the same. It is obvious that they cannot be rangers or mountain bandits. They must be trained A well-trained and well-equipped team, I am afraid that they are either a professional killer organization or someone’s secretly and carefully trained disciples!”

Su Dingfang put the bow back, picked up another piece of arrowhead, and analyzed carefully: "The arrowheads were dug out one by one from the bodies of my brothers. Fortunately, no poison was applied, and the injured brothers are not seriously injured. But this just shows that this group of people is definitely not an organization of killers. The style of an organization of assassins is to use all means to achieve their goals. From this point of view, this group of people should not be killers, but someone who has been training for many years The disciples here are still a group of disciples who have faith in the way of arrows and don't care about such indecent methods as using poison."

Hu Lun's face began to turn pale. He never imagined that Su Dingfang could analyze so many things by relying on these clues that were not clues, and he even said that they were all close to each other.Gradually, he somewhat understood why Zhang Jun was so afraid of that young master.Just because his generals are so powerful, Hu Lun couldn't help but regret his impulsiveness.

Su Dingfang saw Hu Lun's expression in his eyes, smiled contemptuously, and still didn't care what his reaction was, and picked up the last piece of evidence, the black night clothes taken off the enemy's corpse.

"Magistrate Hu looked again. The night clothes were all taken from their corpses. This group of people is also cautious. There is no clue on their clothes that can identify them."

When Hu Lun heard this, his tense nerves relaxed, thinking that Su Dingfang had revealed another fatal clue.He also began to calm down. No matter what Su Dingfang said before, there was no direct evidence that he did it. As long as he gritted his teeth and refused to admit it, Su Dingfang couldn't do anything to him.

Unexpectedly, Su Dingfang changed the subject and continued: "These are all high-quality fabrics. Even ordinary aristocratic families and businessmen are not capable of preparing such fine clothes for dozens of subordinates. Presumably, the identity of the person behind the scenes Extraordinary, and attaches great importance to these diners. I am afraid that there are not many people with this ability in Fugou. Magistrate Hu, what do you think?"

"This, this, General Su is right. I don't know if General Su already has a target of suspicion in his heart?" Hu Lun forced himself to hold his own, and tried to speak out.

"Well, I'm going to ask County Magistrate Hu about this!" Su Dingfang suddenly raised his head, his eyes burst into a bright light, staring at Hu Lun and said coldly.

"What is General Su's intention? This officer is innocent and doesn't know anything." Hu Lun felt as if he was being targeted by a peerless beast. Drenched with sweat, his legs began to shake uncontrollably.

"Haha, County Magistrate Hu misunderstood me. I'm a newcomer and I'm not familiar with the place. I just want to ask County Magistrate Hu to find out who in Fugou has such strength. How can I suspect Magistrate Hu?" Su Dingfang suddenly smiled and stopped pressing.

"So that's it, that's it." Hu Lun felt relieved, and quickly wiped the cold sweat off his brow, pretending nothing happened.
