"Bah, I still want to run!" Xiao Shilian yelled, and was about to chase after him, but Li Xinchen almost subconsciously grabbed him, and the surrounding guards also came back to their senses, and used their hands and feet to hold down the eldest son of the Xiao family, who was obviously quite angry.

"Brother Boqing, don't chase after the poor, in case there is fraud!" Pei Zilie also hurriedly patted his horse at this time, commanded Xiao Shilian, and turned to Wu Mingche with his hand, "Let the Metropolitan Governor be frightened." ”

Wu Mingche waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "You guys are doing a good job. ”

Hearing Wu Mingche's words, Li Xinchen exhaled lightly and casually poked the Ziyun gun on the ground.

The battle just now seems to be far less intense than the battle of thousands of troops, but only after real experience can you understand that this kind of struggle has a high level of personal ability requirements while reducing the requirements for the command and transfer of the entire army.

This is also why sometimes the quality of the soldiers on both sides is much higher than that of ordinary soldiers in the scout battle before the confrontation of the army, and it can even be almost named that the veterans of the battlefield are needed, because only their experience and lethal fighting skills can ensure that they can survive one-on-one or even with few enemies.

The surrounding guards had more or less wounds on their bodies, the enemy came like a tide, and it was fleeting, and the time for the two sides to really fight was only a cup of tea, but it was this short cup of tea effort, after Xiao Shilian, Pei Zilie and Li Xinchen carefully selected the Wu family and Xiao family guards killed a full fifteen or sixteen people, but the wounded were not as many as the battle deaths, but there were eight or nine.

The other party came quickly, and as soon as he made a move, he was a dead hand, even if it was these carefully selected elite veterans, they actually suffered a loss. If it weren't for the fact that these enemies, who were also scouts, would definitely have laid a lot of light and dark traps along the way, these soldiers would definitely not be able to hold back and rush out like Xiao Shilian.

"A certain has already ordered the investigation of the body, but it is estimated that nothing will be found." Xiao Maha also rode over, and learned that Wu Mingche and his family were not injured, so Xiao Maha had been in front of him to direct the carriage blocking the road to move away, and only then did he pull away.

Li Xinchen and the others all bowed slightly, since the other party had the courage to make a move, they must be fully prepared. Sure enough, after Xiao Maha finished saying this, an obviously experienced old man stepped forward with an embarrassed look and a lancet used by the man in black in his hand:

"General Qiyu, this blade is very sharp, and the handle is new, it should not have been used a few times, but the blade and the mark of the production workshop on the handle have been erased, and the subordinates think that the battle damage is not very likely, and nine times out of ten it was deliberately erased."

"It's all like that?"

The old soldier hesitated for a moment, waved his hand, and a soldier next to him was also holding a lancet, and the old soldier pointed to this knife and said: "The mark on this knife has not been completely erased, although the subordinates are old and dizzy, but they can still be vaguely recognized······ It's just that this mark is the mark of our Zhongli Workshop. ”

After a pause, the old pawn said in a low voice: "And this knife is handled differently from the rest of the blades, the rest of the blades are directly cut off the marked piece, and this one obviously wants to grind it off, but the kung fu is not at home." So it's very likely that it was the work of a different person. ”

Xiao Shilian stomped his feet: "There is no difference between this and nothing." ”

Li Xinchen and Pei Zilie subconsciously glanced at each other, and their expressions were all awe-inspiring. There are only two possibilities for the blades produced by Zhongli's workshop to appear here, one is that Chen Shuling knowingly committed a crime and wanted to arouse the suspicion of Wu Mingche and Xiao Maha, and the second is that there are really people in the army who secretly communicate with Chen Shuling, and even send people to assist, but he obviously does not deal with these blades as thoroughly as Chen Shuling, so the abnormality on this blade is seen by these old soldiers who have been dealing with blades for half their lives.

Under the moonlight, the whole atmosphere suddenly became cold.

After a while, Wu Mingche stroked his beard with interest and sighed: "I didn't expect the old man to kill himself with the blade he supervised the production one day, it's really funny!" ”

Li Xinchen and the others couldn't laugh, just looked at each other.

Without waiting for Wu Mingche to finish speaking, Xiao Maha took the blade and looked at it, and chuckled: "The flow of blades in the army is already large, so it is reasonable for Zhongli to have blades produced by Zhongli in this Yangzhou army." However, the history of Yangzhou can take this opportunity to make us suspicious, although it is well-intentioned, but it is funny. ”

Xiao Maha said this according to Wu Mingche's meaning, which is equivalent to giving this matter a conclusion. At this time, Li Xinchen and Pei Zilie exhaled in a low voice, but Xiao Shilian's heart was obviously not on this, and from time to time he glanced at Li Li'er, who opened the carriage curtain next to him, and didn't know what this kid was thinking.

Since Wu Mingche and Xiao Maha have already said it, it naturally means that this matter will not be investigated. After all, no matter from which angle of analysis, the possibility of Chen Shuling wanting to design a frame is much greater than the possibility that someone in the army really wants to get rid of Xiao Maha and Wu Mingche, especially now that the only ones in the army who really have the strength to secretly communicate with Yangzhou are Fan Meng and Ren Zhong, and with His Majesty's reward and Wu Mingche's warning, the two of them are stable, and they will never do such a stupid thing.

Because once the East Window incident happened or the battle was missed, whether it was from His Majesty or Wu Mingche, the anger and pressure were not something they could bear. Fan Meng and Ren Zhongjiu have been in the army for a long time, how could they not understand Wu Mingche's prestige and skill, such a risky sneak attack, if it fails and shows any flaws, they will definitely not be able to eat and walk around.

"Come quickly, go quickly, turn around and leave when you miss a blow." Wu Mingche said in a low voice, "These guys are a little interesting. ”

Xiao Maha raised his eyebrows and looked around, this area was originally close to the river, the water and grass were abundant, the surrounding wild grass grew very tall, which was conducive to hiding, and the official road was rugged and narrow, which would inevitably slow down the speed, and it was a good ambush location. Chen Shuling ambushed good people here in advance, and it must have been carefully selected, but these black-clothed men who shot still followed the usual fighting style of the scout war, and since it was unlikely that they would succeed, they turned around and left.

If these people got the death order to kill Wu Mingche or Xiao Maha, they would definitely not withdraw so calmly, but fight to the death, today's situation is inevitably a little unusual.

Wu Mingche slowly turned around and walked towards the carriage, and said in a low voice, "It's just ······ Yangzhou Thorn History is a warning to us. Real storm ······"

The old man raised his head to look at the moon in the sky and squinted: "It's still behind!" ”

Xiao Maha and the others all looked at Wu Mingche's eyes.

The bright moon hanging high still exudes a faint and clear glow, but who can guarantee that there will not be a day when even this bright moon will be rendered bloody?
