Long Shuang left the city and hurried to the mission camp with two hundred crossbowmen.

There were many people surrounding in front of the big tent of the Chinese army, and the fat deputy envoy Xie Longshuang came here and introduced: "The two corpses on the ground are the assassins tonight. ”

Long Shuang looked at it, there were two corpses on the ground, one tall and one short, both dressed as soldiers, but the tall body was covered with scars, and the short face was black, and there were no obvious wounds on the body.

"Only two people dare to assassinate the messenger?" he heard and did not know the specifics.

"The taller one is the pinnacle slasher samurai, and the shorter one is the late sunset archer, who blended into our ranks when they were in the city of Nanjing, and only stabbed them out until tonight, obviously coming at you. Wei Si deliberately reminded Long Shuang.

"Oh, you brought it. Long Shuang's focus is different, "What about our people?"

"Inside, please come with me. Wei Si took Long Shuang into the Chinese military tent.

Qianyou and a middle-aged knight sat in the guest seat, while Ding Zhong stood behind Lou Xiao, and Long Shuang swept his eyes and read some information from their faces.

"Oh, Your Excellency Qianyou, you are here in person. Long Shuang saluted Qianyou first.

"Hello, Captain Long, I didn't have time to inform you of the urgency, please forgive me. This is Baron Nguyen Jizong. Qianyou introduced the knights beside him.

"Eh, my title is being approved, and I can't be considered an official baron yet, Captain Long is the grandson of the Duke of Weiguo, and he will inherit the title of Duke of Guo in the future, so you are welcome. ”

Ruan Jizong appeared in time just now to help Qianyou take down the archer, but unfortunately the archer knew that he could not escape, so he committed suicide by taking poison.

"I have seen Your Excellency the Baron. "Long Shuang performed the noble salute.

He saw that Qianyou didn't mean to introduce Ding Zhong, so he saluted Lou Xiao and said, "The Lord has frightened your lordship." ”

"Thank you Captain Long for your concern, this official is fine, fortunately this little brother rescued him in time, otherwise my body would be lying outside. Only then did Lou Xiao know that Long Shuang's origin was not small.

He didn't understand why Long Shuang didn't say hello to Ding Zhong, because his life was saved by Ding Zhong, so he deliberately mentioned it to Long Shuang.

Long Shuang is a person who is closer to Ding Kui, and he knows what role Ding Zhong plays, and it is not appropriate to publicize it to the outside world, so Qianyou also gave a hint just now, so he pretended not to know Ding Zhong and pretended to be sincere to thank Ding Zhong.

"Thank you very much, otherwise you will not escape the crime of dereliction of duty, please accept the humiliation. ”

Ding Zhong is like Ding Kui's brother-in-law, and Ding Kun's personal disciple, strictly speaking, he is Long Shuang's uncle, and Long Shuang is reluctant to see him if there is no need.

"Captain Long doesn't need to be polite, I came to protect the messenger on the orders of the master, tonight's matter is the duty, if something really happens, it will be difficult for me to explain to the master, that is what I should do. ”

Lou Xiaosecretly said that he was surprised, Xiao Eleven obviously did not have a formal official position, but the people in the army respected him very much, and he couldn't help but have a lot of speculation about the thirteen lieutenants who protected the people.

"Lord Envoy," Long Shuang turned to Lou Xiao and said, "According to the humble opinion, please leave the guards outside the big tent to us, and the lowly subordinates will be outside day and night." Please rest assured that the 111th Division will not have bad people mixed in, and everyone can be trusted. ”

Wei Si and Heji, who were next to him, were flushed when they heard this, their own people were not as credible as the enemy, and they would laugh off other people's big teeth when they said this.

Lou Xiaoke didn't care what others thought, safety was much more important than face, so he immediately replied: "Okay! Okay! Okay! This time I have to work hard with Captain Long, and this envoy will reward your subordinates heavily, and I will never let them work in vain." ”

"Lord Lou, you can personally guard outside the tent. He Ji couldn't hold it on his face, in his camp, he actually let the foreign army guard the Chinese military tent, and the entire cavalry brigade was disgraced.

Ding Zhong whispered behind Lou Xiao's back: "After passing through Zhenyuan City, there are specially sent troops to respond, and we are responsible for the safety of the Lord Envoy." ”

"Captain Long here is the master, we are guests, guests are as they please, we must respect the kindness of the host, no need to say more, this matter is so decided. Lou Xiao trusts Ding Zhong more.

After tonight's assassination, he knew his situation, the Assassins came from the north, and the people from the south were more reliable and safe.

He Ji can't be the master, so he can only accept it.

After leaving the big tent, he complained to Wei Si: "Your Excellency, have you just watched the rebels run rampant in the camp?"

"Can't you see that the Assassins have come from our territory, they can blend into our ranks, but it is difficult for them to blend into the ranks of the rebels, so let's bear with them for the sake of the Lord's safety. "Wei Si has been observing Long Shuang's subordinates.

He added: "The new arrivals are crossbowmen, no assassin can force their way into the big tent, and their defensive capabilities are indeed stronger than those of the cavalry, so you and I can sleep peacefully." ”

"Hey, my subordinates can't sleep well, and I'm not sure what people will say when I go back. "Kazuki does not deny that the crossbowmen are stronger.

"The most important thing is to be able to go back safely, if something happens to the Lord, you and I don't want to go back. Wei Si had to remind Heji.

"What about the way back? The rebels won't follow the city of Nanjing. ”

Wei Si patted He Ji on the shoulder and said, "Brother, let me make a bet with you, as long as you leave Shibu County, there will be no trouble for assassins to come to us. ”

"What are you betting on?" Heji is a military man, where does he understand the intrigue of the upper echelons.

"When the task is over, the Lord Commander will definitely have a reward, so he will bet half of your reward, and if I lose, you will increase the reward by half, and if I win, you will give me half of the reward. ”

"Deal!" Kazuki held out his palm.

He was also afraid that the assassin would suddenly come out, in case something happened to Lou Xiao, not only would he not get the reward, but he might also be punished, so he would take out half of the reward and gamble on peace, it was worth it!

Wei Si also stretched out his palm and said in his heart: You fool! I knew that I would use your rewards to suppress the shock, but I was in a hurry just now.

The two high-fived each other.

With his own guards guarding, Ding Zhong was relieved to leave Lou Xiao, pulled Long Shuang aside and asked, "Why don't you arrange for them to rest in the city? Do you know how dangerous it is tonight? That messenger is suspected of ruining the master's big business." ”

"I'm not afraid that they will attack Zhenyuan City, I never thought that the assassins would be in their ranks. Long Shuang knew that he was wrong, and he didn't care about Ding Zhong's questioning tone.

"It's good that I came early, but this matter is not easy to hide, you have to think about how to respond to the inquiries from above, I can only help you say something good, and I will report the truth according to the truth. Ding Zhong was also a little afraid.

Arranged in the city, at least there are their own guards to guard the mission together, at least a few more people to stop the assassins, it will not be as dangerous as tonight, and it is somewhat disrespectful to leave the mission outside the city, Ding Kui will probably reprimand Long Shuang when asked.

"One person does things and one person is responsible, so you can tell the truth. Tomorrow I will lead the team to take you out. "Long Shuang did not shirk responsibility.
