The sound of swords, swords and shadows fighting sounded on the road.
Xiang Yun, who narrowly escaped from flying arrows and horse hooves, was protected by layers of soldiers, watching the fight through the crowd.
The figures were surrounded by layers of people, colliding with each other in chaos, and suddenly there was another roar, black smoke billowing from the crowd, and the soldiers and horses retreated outward in chaos.
In the dark eyes, a figure ran toward the undulating mountains, and only his long arms and legs were visible in the drifting black smoke.
"The assassin has escaped!"
"Chase!"
The soldiers shouted and chased after them. The assassins in front could barely see their figures clearly.
Although he couldn¡¯t see the figure clearly, the way he turned around and ran away if he missed a hit was very familiar. Xiang Yun stood up and looked at the disappearing figure.
The assassin who escaped without a hit on Jiannan Road actually appeared again.
Since Jiannan Road did not catch this person, Xiang Yun did not relax his vigilance. When he returned to Longyou, he also kept vigilant checks and precautions for a long time until it was confirmed that there was no suspicious person.
Unexpectedly, just when he was about to forget, the assassin appeared again.
Xiang Yun never gave up on the assassination. Xiang Yun looked solemn. Moreover, the assassin knew his whereabouts very well. It was obvious that he had been watching and waiting around him
"My lord, there are no survivors."
The soldiers and generals re-examined the corpses around them and came over to bow their heads to apologize.
"What's going on with you!" the deputy general yelled, "This was the reason why the governor was killed back then, yet you are so careless!"
The soldiers shouted and knelt on the ground.
Xiang Yun was not angry at the side, but found it a bit funny. Should he treat the other person in his own way? Li Fengan was killed like this, so should he be killed like this too?
????????????????????????????????????????????????Is this Li Fengan's ghost and not letting him go, or is it a deliberate arrangement by the people in Jiannan Road?
Xiang Yun has never been afraid of ghosts, only humans are the scariest people in the world.
"My lord, how are you?" the deputy general asked anxiously after seeing Xiang Yun being silent for a long time.
Xiang Yun took a step forward and his body shook. The lieutenant hurriedly supported him.
"My foot is injured." Xiang Yun looked down at his legs and feet.
?¡
?¡
When night falls, the torches of the military tents camped on the roadside are bright, lighting up the entire valley. There are also fires lighting up in the night in the distance, like stars falling to the ground.
"Captain."
A group of officials came at a gallop, jumping down and rushing in before the horses stopped. Jiang You was not at the front, but walking behind, surrounding Xiang Yun with other officials.
"How are you?"
Xiang Yun took off his armor and wore ordinary clothes. There were no blood or wounds on his body, but his right foot was wrapped in a splint.
¡°It doesn¡¯t matter, I hurt my foot when I dismounted,¡± he said.
The officials breathed a sigh of relief, accused the soldiers of being careless, and asked if the assassin had been caught.
The deputy general looked ashamed and shook his head: "We are still hunting, but there is still no news."
The officials all talked about it, "These are the traitors from Shuofang." "We need to strictly investigate the territory."
Jiang You, who had been silent all this time, stood up and said loudly: "No, I suspect this is Ankangshan's conspiracy!"
When the tent became quiet, everyone looked at him.
Jiang You stepped forward and saluted: "Captain, this matter should be discussed in a long term. Please return to Longyou first."
Others in the camp looked at each other, Xiang Yun smiled: "No."
"The Commander-in-Chief has noted that there is a danger on Gua Jiannan Road, but please don't be careless." Jiang You took out the map and spread it on the table, indicating to other officials to take a look, "His Majesty will bravely lead troops to pursue Shuofang. The rebels in the territory have been eliminated. The thieves have seized the capital and are eyeing Shuofang Linzhou. Although our Longyou is small and remote, our location is crucial."
The officials who gathered around watched Jiang You draw a line to the west of Longyou on the map.
"This can lead directly to the extra story." Jiang You looked at the crowd and said, "If something happens to Longyou and Ankang Mountain is able to unite the Huns and Tubo, then Shuofang will be doomed."
The officials looked at the map and found that the position of Longyou was indeed dangerous. In the past, there was no need to worry about the Xiongnu and Tibetans. With Shuofang guarding it and the mighty Daxia, it would be stable for hundreds of years.
Who would have thought that Daxia would be in chaos overnight.
"When Governor Li asked the imperial court to place the Jiedushi here, it must have been because of this consideration." Jiang You sighed, "The Governor is wise."
Everyone present sighed.
"So, Ankang Mountain is going to attack us, Longyou." Jiang You raised his voice.? Drawing everyone's attention, "He used this method to kill Governor Li. He can also use the same trick to harm the Governor. What will happen if the Governor is assassinated this time?"
When Li Fengan's accident happened, the court was still stable, and there were many people and generals, who quickly stabilized the situation. Now the situation is different. If Xiang Yun dies, Longyou will immediately be in chaos.
Everybody¡¯s expressions changed.
"Not only is Longyou in chaos, our Longyou is also the gateway to Jiannan Road." Jiang You said in a deep voice, reaching out and tapping the location adjacent to Longyou and Jiannan Road, "Longyou fell, central Guizhou rebelled, and Nan Yi is ready to make a move, this is the real danger in Jiannan Road."
Discussions suddenly erupted in the camp.
"Where is there no danger? Now the whole world is full of Ankangshan's conspiracy."
"I don't think it's a good idea for the governor to hide."
"Yes, everyone, please take precautions."
"I don't agree with what you say. The governor does not go to central Guizhou, not because he is hiding, but because he wants to stabilize Longyou."
"Yes, there is a rebellion in central Guizhou, but Qi Shan leads the southeastern army on the left. The pressure on Jiannan Road is not very great, and the troops in central Guizhou dare to invade Jiannan Road. This is weird in itself. Maybe it is To lure the governor into sending troops."
There were those who opposed and those who agreed. Although the number was small, a gap was still opened. Jiang You was very satisfied with this scene. He raised his voice again and said to Xiang Yun: "So please return to Longyou for the time being. This matter should be taken seriously." careful."
The matter still had to be decided by Xiang Yun as the governor. Everyone stopped talking and looked at Xiang Yun.
Xiang Yundao: "These are all speculations. We can only make inferences after the assassin is caught and his identity is found out."
Yes, the identity of the assassin is the key, everyone wakes up and responds in unison.
More soldiers and horses rushed out of the camp and went in all directions, like a big net covering the sky and the earth.
?¡
?¡
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????: There are tiny sounds in the forest in the depths of the early winter night. It seems to be people walking around or crawling snakes and insects. There is the sound of horse hooves on the road not far away, and the vibration makes the sounds in the forest disappear.
At the same time, the clouds in the night sky dispersed, and the obscured moonlight poured through the dead branches and leaves, and fell mottledly on a person standing in the forest.
He is tall and covered with only a piece of fur in the winter, exposing most of his skin, which shines brightly in the moonlight.
He listened to the sound of horse hooves outside, then took another step, landing on his long legs and big feet, and quickly walked through the mountains and forests to a river step by step.
The moonlight made the river water look like a mirror. The man squatted down and looked at the reflection in the water. A thick beard covered his face. His thick eyebrows furrowed. He reached out and took out a dagger and started shaving against the river water.
The beard was cut off like grass and thrown away, breaking the calm river surface. The ripples dispersed and once the calm was restored, a handsome face was reflected in the river water.
"I'm really good-looking." Xiang Qiu nodded with satisfaction and looked at himself in the river until he heard a growl in his stomach.
The handsome face in the river frowned and stood up.
Because he had walked through mountains and ridges, his gorgeous robes had long been thrown away, and because he was hiding like a rock in the mountains, his face was roughened by the wind and sun, but his body was always safe and sound.
He was not injured by pretending to be dead among the bandits, and he was not injured by using all his strength to miss, because he was here to assassinate, not to sacrifice his life. He would leave immediately after missing a hit, and he would not fight desperately if he did not like to fight.
Xiang Yun¡¯s life has not yet been taken, so he cannot give up his life.
It's just that he was so hungry that he couldn't remember how long it had been since he had eaten. He rubbed his stomach with his beard and turned back. His eyes searched the ground under the moonlight. He suddenly leaned over and pounced. When he got up again, he picked up a fat wild mouse. .
The neck of the wild rat was broken before it could make any sound.
Xiang Qiu¡¯s beard shook the wild mouse with satisfaction, squatted on the ground, took out a fire twister, and squatted down to light the dead grass, but his ears moved and he stopped.
The sound of horse hooves is heard far and near, and lighting a fire in the dark is the easiest way to reveal your identity.
So
Xiang Qiubeard put away the fire, opened his mouth and bit the wild rat's neck with his white teeth exposed. Blood dripped from the fur, more and more, dripping from the corners of his mouth and falling on his naked body.
He flicked his beard, bit off a piece of flesh, spat it out on the ground, and then bit the exposed flesh with another bite.
The river is as quiet as a mirror, reflecting the handsome man with his back turned, silently chewing raw flesh and blood. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
