General, please be a loyal minister!

Han Zhao was caught in a bitter battle. Although there were only about [-] defenders at the gate of the city, there were more than [-] defenders on the tower.In a short period of time, hundreds of people gathered in front of him, and the enemy killed more and more, but he could not retreat.

Dozens of bows and crossbows were pointed at him, but Han Zhao did not dare to move rashly because Han Zhao held their general hostage.

Another soldier who was approaching was beheaded by the gun. Han Zhao looked at the densely packed soldiers in front of him and grinned wildly. This smile was like a scorching flame, melting the loneliness on Han Zhao's face and igniting a scorching heat. All karma.

Just standing there, he is like a thousand horses, roaring like tigers and wolves.

Some people are crazy about this life, using other people's lives to ignite their own eternity.

This is what Liu Rui said when watching Han Zhao's battle.At that time, Han Zhao broke through the formation and cut down the enemy's banner. The bright red banner fluttered and landed on him, as if a flame had been ignited.

--Maggi.

Move forward in time.

One afternoon, the sound of flapping wings disturbed the tranquility of the water pavilion. At this time, it was already autumn in the east, the summer cicadas stopped making noise, the lotus flowers began to fade, and the autumn sun dyed the edges of the leaves red.

The clear sky is high and the white clouds are far away, and the autumn sun is warm when Paihe goes west. In such a scene, one should drink tea in the warm sun, without silk and bamboo.

The scribe in Tsing Yi thought so, so he still closed his eyes and meditated, ignoring the pigeons jumping up and down on the bird stand.

A rough, broad hand caught the pigeon and removed the letter from its leg.

After reading the letter, the fourth child reported, "Seventh child, he said that his punishment has been completed, and he begged the second master to arrange a new task for him."

"Yes, I see." The second master replied without giving any instructions.

The fourth child knew that this meant leaving the seventh child alone.

However, after a moment of silence, Second Master suddenly asked again: "Where is he now?"

This "he" is naturally the seventh child mentioned just now, and the fourth child replied: "The reply said he was in the south, in the northwest area of ​​Bingzhou."

The second master said without hesitation: "Then let him bring the master to the sixth son."

The fourth child nodded: "Yes." Then he began to grind and write letters, and sent pigeons to send them out.

"Master's word" arrived this morning.

Accompanied by a secret order came from "over there", the handwriting is still the boss's, but the tone is the master's.

The content is to let them stop chasing and killing Nineteen.

This letter surprised Er Ye very much.

It had been a long time since they had received direct instructions from their master, but now it was a matter of questioning Nineteen.

The master who manages the hidden guards has already delegated power to him. This is the first time in the past few years that the master has intervened in the matter of the hidden guards. The second master doesn't understand why Nineteen suddenly made the master so interested, but he can only follow orders immediately .

The letter telling Lao Liu to stop his actions had already been sent after receiving the secret order, but there was always a delay in sending messages across thousands of miles. If Lao Liu failed to receive the letter in time and killed Shijiu, he would not be able to complete his master's explanation.

So he learned that Lao Qi had sent him to pass the message in Nanfang, and the manpower was exhausted, and the rest of him could only look forward to the nineteenth life.

"Also, about the letter that the sixth child sent back a few days ago—" the fourth child suddenly stopped at this point, because the next topic was a bit sensitive.

In the letter sent back by the sixth child, in addition to the report on the situation of the nineteenth, there was also a trace of a person - the third child.

——The senior figure of the organization, who sits with the second master and is named by the master, his status is much higher than the "third brother" who rebelled seven years ago.

"Ah! You mean the third child?" Unexpectedly, the second master raised it without hesitation, and his voice was very clear.

The fourth child was surprised. Didn't the second master hate it most when someone mentioned the third child in front of him?Why did you mention it yourself now?

As soon as the second master finished speaking, there was a movement from the sycamore tree, very subtle, but it did not escape the eyes and ears of the two people present.

The fourth child who was wondering why the second master spoke so exaggeratedly suddenly understood.

"Five!"

The second master yelled, and a handsome man in black fell from the tree. It was the "Old Fifth" that Han Zhao had seen in the hut.

The fifth child bowed his head and knelt in front of the second master: "Second master."

"Surrender yourself." The second master flicked his sleeves, and a short knife fell in front of the fifth child.

Lao Wu was taken aback for a moment, then drew out the knife without saying a word, and wiped it on his own neck.

At the same time, the fourth child appeared in front of the fifth child as quickly as lightning and kicked his dagger away.

The dagger made a gash on Lao Wu's neck, which wasn't fatal, but the blood flowed out terribly.

His daring to act was naturally instructed by the second master. When the second master made someone commit suicide, he clenched his right fist to indicate death, and spread it out to indicate life. This is a code that only the fourth child understands.

The second master lowered his eyes and looked indifferently at the fifth brother who had escaped from death and was in a panic: "Go and bring back the tattoo of the third child."

The tattoos are exactly the tattoos on their collarbones that indicate the order of their identities. The second master is an elegant person and doesn't like human heads, so when he hunts down traitors to verify his integrity, he has to get tattoos. His words are killing the third child. .

The fifth child lost his composure, and said in a panic, "Second Master, hasn't the matter of the third brother already been exposed?"

At that time, the third child's sudden rebellion caused great chaos to the organization, but because the organization was still in the construction period at that time, and the strength was not enough, after a while of hunting, nothing happened. The master also said that he would only be a secret guard in the future. .

It's been so many years, Lao Wu doesn't understand why the second master still mentions it.

He didn't refute a word just now when he asked the fifth child to kill himself, but now he is afraid to kill the third child.

This is what the second master wanted. He curled the corners of his lips with a bit of cruelty: "Then turn it around again. After all, the master hasn't issued a pardon, has he?"

The master handed over the full power of the secret guard organization to him, and he still has this right.

What the master wants is that when he needs to do something shady, they can do it flawlessly. As long as this is done, the rest is irrelevant.

After the second master finished speaking, he added: "If you successfully complete the task, I will ask the master to give you a name."

Giving a name is a great honor, which means that they can change from slaves who can only live in the dark to servants of their masters who can stand on the bright side, becoming a "person".

However, thinking of the third child's life in exchange for the fifth child, he felt infinitely desolate, but he couldn't allow him to refuse at this point, the light in his eyes completely dimmed, and he lowered his head and responded with difficulty: "Yes."

Watching the fifth child leave in a daze, the fourth child's eyes showed a hint of unbearable.

He and the fifth child were trained in the same batch, not to mention the relationship, there is still a bit of affection.

Seeing Lao Wu like this, he couldn't help feeling that something hurt his kind.

The fourth child hesitated for a moment, then said: "Second master, you know that the third brother means a lot to the fifth child, why did you issue this order?"

The life of the fifth child was saved by the third child, and the kung fu was taught by the third child.

Hearing this question, the second master chuckled, and asked back: "Do you think the fifth can beat the third?"

Of course I can't beat it.

Except for the second master, the ninth and the eleventh who gained their status through strategy, the rest of the people are ranked according to their strength.

Excluding the mysterious boss who doesn't know the details, the third child's force in the dark guard is the first, and the fourth child's memory is indeed invincible, even he is completely unable to compete, the strength is not a quality level at all of.

The second master asked again: "Then do you think the third child will attack the fifth child?"

The fourth child: "I don't know." He doesn't know the third child, maybe the temper of the third child is not something that a "killing tool" like him can understand.

The second master concluded: "He won't."

"Do you think the fifth child will attack the third child?"

The fourth child did not hesitate: "Yes." Even if the fifth child has old feelings for the third child, the secret guard will always put the task first.

However, the second master didn't think so, he gave the fourth son a meaningful look: "Not necessarily."

If it was before, he must have been very sure that the fifth child would attack the third child, but after the nineteenth incident, he began to doubt it.

Nineteen's inexplicable betrayal almost became a knot in his heart.

After investigating for so long, the sixth child still concluded that there was no other force intervening behind the nineteenth.

So can the so-called emotional morality really fight against his violent brainwashing and break the three views shaped by him since he was a child?

Er Ye decided to experiment on Lao Wu.

While the two were talking, a woman dressed as a maid came straight over, and she bowed in front of the second master: "Second master, someone from Yan's residence invites you to come over."

The only one that can be called Yan's mansion in Dongdong is the mansion of Prime Minister Yan Huan.

The second master gave a cold "hmm": "Get the car ready, I'll be there right away."

Woman: "Yes."

When Qiuyang stretched the shadow of everything by another foot, a simple carriage stopped in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

The second master, who had changed into a Confucian shirt, helped the entourage out of the carriage, and was greeted by the servants of the Yan family, and went straight to the magnificent and luxurious prime minister's mansion.

Passing through several porches and landscape gardens, I finally arrived at the study of the prime minister's mansion. In the study, sandalwood lingers, Yan Huan has been waiting for a long time.

He sat in the chair behind the desk, but just sitting, he exuded a calm and majestic temperament.

When he saw the middle-aged man, the second master cupped his hands and saluted: "Student Zhong Yan has met the teacher."

Yan Huan glanced at the scribe in front of him, and said slowly: "Your Majesty is feeling weak, and plans to establish a reserve."

The second master, whose alias was Xu Zhongyan, lowered his eyelids thoughtfully, and asked, "Which prince does Your Majesty prefer?"

Yan Huan: "Your Majesty hasn't decided yet, but it seems that he prefers the Fourth Prince."

It was the prince whose political views were at odds with them and who was close to the general Dou Xiao.

The eldest prince has been completely rejected by the new emperor, and the second prince is dull and unfavorable to the new emperor...

Xu Zhongyan thought for a while, then cupped his hands and said: "Students, please ask the teacher to recommend the second and sixth princes to His Majesty."

Yan Huan was puzzled: "What is the meaning of recommending the sixth prince?" He understood the recommendation of the second prince, after all, this was the only one they could choose, but the sixth prince was not only young but also Dou Xiao's nephew.

Xu Zhongyan smiled confidently: "It's okay, this advice will not be adopted by His Majesty, and may be opposed by General Dou."

Yan Huan still had doubts, but seeing Xu Zhongyan's insistence, he nodded in agreement.

In this way, a storm of succession kicked off in the new dynasty.

……

A quarter of an hour had passed, and the corpses were piled up in front of Han Zhao. The general defending the city held hostage by him was still ordering the soldiers to charge, but the archers were not allowed to shoot arrows.

He knew that if the rogue in front of him didn't want to be shot into a sieve, he wouldn't dare to kill Han Zhao even if he ordered someone to rush at him, but if he asked the soldiers to retreat in order to save his life, then even if he wasn't killed by the rogue, he would have to Being questioned by the king, he could not escape death.

Therefore, it is necessary to command soldiers with "skills".

So many people have died, but the killing god in front of him has bright eyes and a cold expression.

He took a gun flower, the blood on the gun was thrown up, and then fell like rain.

South Vietnam is not a nation that is good at fighting, and this kind of formation is enough to scare the courage of some soldiers.

Even if there is an order from their superiors, they shrink back and dare not go forward.

The clatter of horseshoes came from the other side of the street again.

Is it another batch of pursuers, or...

Han Zhao raised his eyes and saw that a handsome young man came riding a fine horse with a young man in his arms.

It finally came, if he didn't come, he would kill everyone——

But what about Yu Wenxun?

The soldiers who had already lost their fighting spirit immediately dispersed to both sides when they saw the charging horse and the cold-faced evil star on the horse.

And the horse flitted past the opening of the city gate as if entering no one's land, and jumped past Han Zhao.

Seeing that something was wrong, Han Zhao threw down the guard, grabbed a horse parked outside the city gate, and rode it away.

"Stop!" Han Zhao ordered behind Yuan Xie, who seemed to have never heard of Yuan Xie.

Han Zhao touched his sleeve, and then remembered that in order to be able to use the gun flexibly, he had already removed the crossbow/arrow and threw it away.

Without a long-range weapon, he could only continue to urge his horse to catch up with Yuan Xie.

Han Zhao didn't know why Yuan Xie did this, but among the three of them, Yu Wenxun was the one who didn't want this action to go wrong, so there was something wrong with Yuan Xie.

Zhou Yuan can even select him into the team, so it's not surprising that Yuan Xie is mixed in.

Han Zhao didn't intend to be upset about this detail, and it's better to get Liu Xuan back as soon as possible for the present plan.

Yuan Xie's horse carried two people, so it was naturally not as strong as Han Zhao's horse.

Yuan Xie had to stop when he ran to a woodland, and returned to his horse to confront Han Zhao.

Liu Xuan was knocked out by Yuan Xie just when he realized something was wrong and started making noise, and now he is lying in Yuan Xie's arms with his neck crooked.

Face to face with Yuan Xie, Han Zhaocai discovered that this young man's usual taciturnity was not only due to his personality, but another reason was probably to cover up the sharpness in his eyes.

Han Zhao is very familiar with this kind of sharpness—the cold and sharp air of a killer.

At this time, Yuan Xie in the reconnaissance system also turned into a small red dot.

Han Zhao looked at Yuan Xie with a heavy face, and asked in a cold voice, "Which side are you from, false emperor? Remnants of Dayi?"

Yuan Xie asked back: "Which side are you from? Did the remnants of the next dynasty instigate you to do all this?"

Han Zhao replied coldly, "I am nobody."

Hearing this answer, Yuan Xie was silent for a long while meaningfully, and then he said quietly: "No. You are the master's man by birth, and the master's ghost by death. Nineteen, I will take your life."

As soon as the words came out, Han Zhao froze on the spot.

The author has something to say: The fifth child is on stage!

Now ten, twelve, and seventeen are dead, the eldest (beside the master), the second (Dongdu), the third rebelled, the fifth chased and killed the third, and the sixth chased and killed Han Zhao...

Take your time, no one can escape (see if you speak human language?)

In addition, I don’t know if anyone still remembers Dou Xiao mentioned in this chapter.

It was the commander of the army that Han Zhao and Zhao Ji met on the way to Liangzhou.
