Chapter 236: The Assassin
"Master Su, it should be that barbarian King Chen!" A man wearing a hat disappeared in the thick reeds and whispered to a horse-faced man.
The latter's face flashed with joy, and he said cautiously: "Have you read carefully?" ”
"I saw him when I was in Shao Wu," the man replied, "and it will not be wrong for these people to mention the words 'fiefdom' and so on in their words!" ”
This man was originally a subordinate of Durd, who had been captured by the Ming army, and then took advantage of the chaos to escape, since he was so sure, then he would not be far from ten. Su Yangcha was ecstatic in his heart, the prey really had a nap, and this barbarian King Chen only brought six guards, it was really a godsend!
He ordered his subordinates to gather and said in a deep voice: "After the first battle of Shanguan, we are the only individuals, if we miss, then Lord Belle will ......
"There are only seven barbarians, wait for Erhe to bring five people to entangle those guards, and the others will surround the barbarian King Chen with me.
"Remember, you must catch him alive before you can exchange him for Lord Belle!"
He paused, drew a single knife, and said with a fierce look in his eyes: "If you really can't capture him alive, you will kill him, and you should avenge Lord Belle!" ”
"Huh!"
A group of captives, each with a sword, carefully pushed aside the reeds and headed towards their target.
……
It was early summer, and the weather in Fujing was quite hot, and even though it was almost evening, I was still sweating profusely in the small guest room of the inn.
As long as there is no night duty, almost all people are reluctant to stay in the post station, especially Jinxi, which is near Jiangle County, which is everyone's first choice.
The night breeze blew through the reeds two people high, and there was a rustling sound, and the fragrance of the reed leaves blew on the body very cool.
"Miss, when you get to Tianxing Mansion this time, what kind of official do you say the imperial court will appoint you?" A little girl in a green shirt shook the reed pole in her hand and said to Zhen Zhen with a smile, "Will you be the generalissimo of soldiers and horses?" ”
"Zilu, you've been with me for so long, why can't you even figure out the official position of the Ming Dynasty, and you are still the generalissimo?" Zhen Zhen was dressed in a neat military uniform, although it was cool by the river, her sideburns were still covered with fragrant sweat, "I may be promoted to a general." ”
"General ......" Zilu is usually in charge of Zhen Zhen's daily life, and most of her understanding of the military position comes from drama, and she said with flashing eyes, "Who is older than the Zhongzhou Marquis in Shudi?" The Marquis of Zhongzhou she said was Qin Liangyu, the first female general in the late Ming Dynasty.
"Hugh wants to talk nonsense, how can I compare with General Qin?" Zhen Zhen glanced at her and sighed lightly, "But this time, His Highness was awarded Ganzhou, and after the battle, I wanted to meet him very closely." I don't know where he plans to set up his palace. ”
"Tsk, 'Your Highness'? It's quite kind......" Zilu teased with her nose raised.
"You damn girl!"
Zhen Zhen was about to fight, Zi Lujiao smiled and flashed to forgive, and hurriedly changed the topic: "By the way, what is Miss exploring over there this afternoon?" ”
Zhen Zhenqiao's face was slightly red, she withdrew her raised hand, and said quite seriously: "Zilu, do you know how to stew duck soup?" ”
"Yes, miss, do you want to drink duck soup? I'll help you stew it tomorrow. ”
"No, no, I want you to teach me how to stew soup."
"Oh?" Zilu's eyes widened, and she said strangely, "Our young lady has always been far away from the pot, where is this singing today?" ”
"You care? Just teach me. ”
The little maid pretended to make a straight face, "If you don't tell me, I won't teach." ”
"You ......"
"Either you go to Guy Liu to teach you, hehe."
"I just didn't look down on Uncle Liu's cooking skills to find you......"
Zilu couldn't help but smile and glared at her young lady, "Then you can tell me." ”
Zhen Zhen couldn't help her, looked around carefully, pursed her lips and said, "You say, I help His Highness stew some soup, will it seem inappropriate?" ”
"Ha, what do I say......" Zilu immediately smirked.
……
"Shh......h
Zhu Linmiao and Zhang Jiayu were walking, when they saw Shi Lin flash forward and signaled everyone to silence.
"Watch out, someone's coming."
Shi Lin had been fighting on the frontier for many years, and had developed extremely keen vigilance, so although the others did not hear any movement, they still retreated to the edge of the Golden Creek as he ordered, allowing the reeds to cover their figures.
After another moment, Fang saw two figures coming from the shore, but they were Zhen Zhen and her maid.
Zhu Linmiao breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to step forward to greet her, when she heard the conversation between the two daughters, and couldn't help but pause.
"Don't make a fuss, say it well." Zhen Zhen tried hard and said seriously, "Recently, His Highness has been staying up late in the car every day to write official cases, and I see that he looks tired and thinning day by day. She suddenly felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly continued, "His Royal Highness King Chen is the pillar of our camp, and we can't be tired." Uncle Liu can only cook in a big pot, so I thought about making some soup to help him make up for it......"
"Duck ginseng soup is the most suitable and my specialty." Zilu still had a wicked smile on her face, "As for sending it or not, or Miss will go and ask His Royal Highness King Chen for advice?" ”
"You bad hooves!"
"Oops, someone hit Master......"
Zhang Jiayu, Shi Lin and others could also hear it clearly, and couldn't help but hide their mouths and snicker. Zhu Linmiao's face was full of embarrassment, wouldn't she make a big red face when she appeared at this time, so she had no choice but to wave her hand and ask everyone to still hide in the reeds.
Unexpectedly, he waved his hand a little widely, and the edge of a reed leaf cut the back of his hand, causing him to subconsciously take a breath of cold air, "Hiss-"
Ten steps away, Zhen Zhen suddenly stopped, raised his hand on the swift sword at his waist, swept his beautiful eyes around, and said loudly: "Who?" Come out for me! ”
Su Yangcha frowned, seeing that the barbarian King Chen had come towards him, but suddenly disappeared into the reeds, and at this time, someone shouted "come out", could it be that his whereabouts were exposed?
What if it's exposed?! There are more than 20 Jianzhou warriors on my side, and they are only a dozen steps away from the southerners, and they will definitely be able to take them down in one fell swoop.
Thinking of this, he waved his sword and shouted, "Give it to me!" ”
Immediately, a group of knife-wielding people took advantage of the moonlight to shoot straight to the hiding place of Zhu Linmiao and others.
After rushing out a few steps, Su Yangcha caught a glimpse of Zhen Zhen and the others, and saw that they were wearing military uniforms and swords at their waists, so he immediately dragged two of his subordinates casually, and pointed at Zhen Zhen, "Go and deal with them!" ”
"Huh!"
Zhu Linmiao was still thinking about how to survive the embarrassing situation in front of him one moment, and the next moment he heard a burst of shouts to kill, and a large number of people suddenly poured out from the river, and his appearance was obviously not good.
Shi Lin immediately drew his sword and shouted, "Protect your lord!" "Take the lead in front of Zhu Linmiao.
The rest of the soldiers were also holding swords in their hands, and they lined up in a horizontal row to block King Chen.
"Assassins?" Zhu Linmiao frowned secretly, took out the short reed wheel from his waist, tightened the spring quickly, and held it forward. However, this reed wheel gun is troublesome to reload, and it can be said that he only has one chance to shoot.
The number of assassins is obviously much larger, they are not like in martial arts movies, they fight you one by one, and more than 20 people instantly come in front and back, left and right.
