Zhi Xuan

Ten dead soldiers sneaked into the camp, using the rain to cover their tracks, and killed several night watchmen one after another, getting closer and closer to the big tent.

The leader clenched his dagger tightly, his eyes fixed on the front.The three people behind him are distributed in a fan shape, separated by two or three steps, and their footstep speed is almost the same.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and it was freezing cold on the body.

The wind blew across the camp, overturning an extinguished brazier.The brazier rolled on the ground, black firewood ash scattered all over the ground, mixed into the mud, and was stepped on by the assassin, leaving clear footprints.

Five steps, ten steps, fifteen steps.

The dead men approached the big tent from three directions, all with bright eyes, without making any sound under their feet.

The tents on both sides were pitch black, and all the soldiers were sleeping soundly, snoring loudly, and there was no way they could notice the black shadows passing through the tents.

Getting closer to the big tent, the dead soldiers were very careful, stopping one after another and lowering their bodies.

There are night guards outside the tent, as well as attendants who come in and out occasionally.If you want to successfully approach the target, you must solve the troubles in front of you, and you must not make any noise during the process, let alone alarm anyone.

At this moment, they are like hyenas intruding into a pride of lions.The lions are sound asleep, they are safe and sound.If the lions were awakened and they were surrounded, they would be torn to pieces on the spot and die without a place to bury them.

The leader didn't see the accomplices in the other two directions, but firmly believed that they were nearby, and stopped temporarily just like himself, planning how to solve the trouble outside the account.

Unlike the night watchmen, the guards and servants in front of them had their backs to the big tent, and there were torches beside them, so their vision would not be obstructed.The dead will be found when they get close to the fire, and there is no way to start.

As time passed, standing in the rain for a long time, the body temperature of the deceased continued to drop, and his lips turned white, which was a sign of hypothermia.If this continues, before the guards find out, their hands and feet may become cold, their movements will become slow, and they may not even be able to move.

The leader fell into anxiety, thinking that there was cold sweat on his forehead, but in fact it was rainwater that slid down his eyebrows and flowed over his eyelids, blocking his vision.

"How to do."

Just when the leader felt helpless, accomplices from another direction suddenly appeared, and they deliberately made noise to attract the guards to check.There were only two servants left in front of the tent, and it became empty in an instant.

good chance!

The leader no longer hesitated, and suddenly rushed out of the darkness.The accomplices behind him were a step behind him, drew their strong bows while running, and shot poisonous arrows immediately when they broke into the big tent.

Seeing the dead man rushing out from the darkness, the waiter turned pale with fright, and immediately warned: "There is an assassin!"

He didn't want the guard to be entangled by the other two groups of dead soldiers, and he couldn't escape for the time being.

There was a grin on the dead man's face.

They began to run faster, as if they had foreseen the successful assassination and the death of Zhi Xuan under the arrow.

The distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer. Under the firelight, the dead man could clearly see the waiter's form. He was supposed to be panicked, but there was a sudden change, which seemed very strange.

The leader's heart skipped a beat, instinctively feeling something was wrong.

The next moment, a few Youlu appeared around them, and the sharp howl of wolves suddenly sounded, piercing through the wind and rain and falling into the ears, like a sharp knife scraping the ear bones, it was extremely frightening.

Huge wild wolves appeared in the flames, and two of them came out of the big tent.

The howling of wolves continued, and the dead warriors were shocked to find that at some point, they were surrounded by wolves, with fangs and claws all around them, and they had no way to enter the sky and nowhere to go.

When the wolves appeared, the surrounding tents were ablaze.

Su Hu and the others were awakened by the howling of wolves, and immediately realized that something was wrong, so they grabbed their weapons and rushed out of the tent before they had time to tidy up.

A large number of torches were lit, especially around the large tent, and the rain could not completely extinguish them.

The dead soldiers were surrounded by wolves, unable to move forward, let alone retreat.

They came here under orders, all with the will to die, only one step away from the goal, but fell short in the end.

They have poisonous arrows in their hands, and their throats are sealed with blood.However, the number is limited, not to mention the crowd walking out of the tent, even the surrounding wild wolves cannot be killed.

The giant wolf roared, and the wolves began to shrink the encirclement. The space between the leader and the three dead men was rapidly compressed, and they had to stand back to back to prevent the wolves from rushing at any time.

The leader looked up, and the rest of his accomplices were in worse condition.The three people who made the sound fell to the ground with a pool of blood on their bodies, and they did not know whether they were alive or dead.The other three were also trapped. They tried to resist but were shot and killed by bows and arrows, unable to fight back.

The leader moved his eyes and stared at the big tent.

He expected Zhi Xuan to appear.

He holds the bow and arrow firmly, as long as Zhi Xuan walks out of the big tent, he is confident that he will hit the arrow with one shot.It doesn't matter if you don't hit a vital point, the poison of Nanyou Kingdom can seal the throat with blood, even scratching a piece of skin can kill the target.

It's a pity he couldn't wait for that moment.

The giant wolf howled, and the pack of wolves suddenly scattered around.

Soldiers with bows and crossbows took their place.

The sharp arrows flashed coldly, Su Hu personally gave the order, and the sound of breaking wind followed.

Arrows were densely packed like rain, and the dead man swung his dagger desperately, but it was just a mantis holding a chariot.

The leader's pupils constricted, and the fear of death made him drop his weapon. He dragged the two dead men to him, squatted down, and successfully avoided the deadly rain of arrows.

"you……"

The two dead soldiers were used as shields by him, and their bodies were full of sharp arrows.Before the end of their lives, the two turned their heads in disbelief, their eyes widened, blood gushed out of their mouths, and they swallowed their last breath with endless hatred.

The dead man behind the leader was also seriously injured and fell to the ground. Seeing the unscathed leader and his dead companion, he raised his dagger angrily and pierced the leader's ankle.

"what!"

The leader screamed and fell to the ground.

The dead soldier wanted to strike again, the surrounding soldiers rushed forward, disarmed the two men, and captured them alive.

"Damn you, you deserve to be hacked into pieces!"

The wounded dead man was pressed to the ground, half of his cheek was covered with mud, and he was scratched with blood when he struggled.He didn't seem to feel any pain, and he didn't fear life and death. He continued to yell at the leader, wishing he could pounce on him and bite his throat.

The leader was injured on one leg, his ankle was pierced by a dagger, and his hamstrings and bones were severed. He wailed in pain and couldn't resist at all. His hands were bound behind his back and he knelt on the ground on the spot.

The rain that lasted most of the night gradually stopped after the dead man was arrested.

The dark clouds in the sky dissipated, revealing a bright moon and bright stars.

The number of torches continued to increase, surrounding the big tent, reflecting the silver light, making the entire camp as bright as day.

In front of the big tent, the corpses of eight dead men were lined up and had been searched carefully.Beside them were the slain Night's Watchmen, all killed with a single blow.The necks of two people were almost cut in half, which shows how fierce the attack was.

The two captured alive knelt on the ground, one of them was full of scarlet eyes, and continued to yell, while the other prostrated on the ground, his ankle continued to bleed, and his face gradually turned pale.

The curtain of the big tent has already been opened, and all the officials are in the tent.

Everyone got up in a hurry, most of them were only wearing a coat, and their hair was a little messy.Neither of them even wore a belt.It was really inappropriate to meet the monarch in this state, but everyone didn't care so much, and they collectively breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that Zhi Xuan was safe and sound.

This kind of performance is completely different from the assassination of the previous Xi Yuanhou.Yuan Cheng knows that, most likely he will die of anger again.

"To attempt to assassinate Your Majesty is truly audacious!"

This assassination made the ministers extremely angry. Even if there is no confession, one can infer who instigated them just by looking at the weapons used by the dead.

"Ghost tricks, especially shameless!"

Su Hu clenched his fists, Yang Hao's face was full of anger, the doctors and officials shared the same hatred, wishing to send troops immediately.One-on-two is not afraid, it's not like they haven't done it before.As long as you can't be beaten to death, you will definitely be beaten to death!

Attacking the dowry team before, and now sending dead soldiers to assassinate them, but as a great prince, he dare not fight in a fair manner on the battlefield, and he wants to engage in these unscrupulous methods, it is simply a doggy!

The officials were furious and said one after another that when Yuantao got married and went to Zhongdu, Zhixuan should send troops immediately. It was necessary to teach Dongliang and Nanyou a lesson, and let them know the consequences of angering Xiyuan.

The crowd is so angry that it cannot be solved without war.

"Only with a knife and an ax can you know the pain."

Seeing Doctor Qing's performance, Zhi Xuan knew that he had to make a statement.

National war is inevitable.

Both of them are big princes, and it is not feasible to destroy the country for the time being, but they must hurt each other, and let each other pay the price, so that they dare not act rashly in the future, let alone think that they are young and can be bullied.

Nanyou Country has not thought about it at the moment, and it needs to be discussed after returning to the capital.

He already had plans for Dongliang Guo Zhixuan, and it was necessary to regain the five cities lost by the scumbag father, and at the same time recover the interest.He didn't want much, ten cities, Dongliang Hou had to give it or not.It doesn't matter if you insist on not giving it, he just takes it with a sword!

As for these assassins, those who died were buried, and those who were captured alive were brought back to the Western Capital together.

Assassinating the king of a country is a serious crime. Regardless of whether he succeeds or not, the assassin will be punished by being torn apart.

The reason why the two were left behind was to make it more justifiable to send troops in the future, and to block the mouths of Youyou after the city was captured.

It is true that he is the sufferer, and it is only natural for him to send troops.But once the Xiyuan Kingdom gained the upper hand on the battlefield, Zhixuan really couldn't say which way the wind would blow in the capital city and the other vassal states.

The Human King is indeed biased toward him, but it doesn't mean that he will be allowed to break the balance at will.

Wang Mu, the representative of the four major vassal states, guarded the four directions, which was originally evenly matched.If there is a conflict between the two, the Human King will not pay much attention to it.Once a certain country is too strong and overwhelms the heroes, it will not be so wonderful for the King of Kings.

Zhi Xuan didn't think he was worrying unfoundedly, and countless historical experiences proved that the king's mind was unpredictable.Don't try to express feelings with the king, especially the talented and bold one.When necessary, they will be more ruthless than the Hunjun, and they will not hesitate to raise their swords, and will not show mercy at all.

As for whether Xiyuan Kingdom would be defeated, Zhi Xuan had also seriously thought about it.In the end, it was concluded that this possibility is not impossible, but it is very small.

In this era, a ruler cannot avoid war, let alone be afraid of failure.Even Marquis Mo, who is caught between the great powers, will not be soft when he should be tough. It is a big mistake to think that he is a weirdo.

After making up his mind, Zhi Xuan raised his eyes, glanced at the people in the tent, and said in a deep voice: "After the wedding, the war between the two countries will be declared!"

Headed by Su Hu and Yang Hao, the senior officials in the tent got up at the same time, solemnly accepting orders.

"During the time of the first emperor, Dongliang took my five cities by deceitful means, and Xuan swore to make them pay back several times!" Zhixuan's words resounded loudly and echoed in the tent.

Su Hu Yang Hao all cupped their hands, and said solemnly: "The ministers and others swear to follow the emperor, shame on you, Tu Dongliang!"
