Qiao Ying is an experienced assassin in the Eagle Guard.

He was good at concealing his whereabouts, and often laughed at his colleagues in the Southern Zhou Dynasty for using such low-level methods to become invisible. It was useless, and many of them were killed instead.

At that time, a large tribe rebelled. Because the army was fighting in the northern Xinjiang, it was impossible to send troops to attack it. Qiao Ying took the initiative to ask for help, saying that he would assassinate the tribe's khan.

The Yingwei people were not optimistic about this operation, but Qiao Ying repeatedly requested it and finally it was possible.

He took five horses, galloped all the way to the outskirts, and then sneaked into the rebellious tribe.

No one can find his traces, not even the experts around Khan.

He lurked for three days and three nights. When the defense around Khan showed a flaw, he took action and killed Khan in one fell swoop. Then he escaped thousands of miles away.

That battle shocked the Eagle Guard.

After that, he took action one after another, never failed, and became famous within the Eagle Guard.

He Lianchun ascended the throne, and the position of He Lianhong, the commander of the Eagle Guard, was somewhat embarrassing.

According to the usual rules, when a new emperor succeeds to the throne, he must first replace the commander of the Eagle Guard, and then the best outcome is to make a prison in Ningxing City and not be allowed to step out of the house.

This can be considered a good beginning and a good end.

But more Eagle Guard commanders were executed immediately after the new emperor gained a foothold.

Without him, Eagle Guard is the emperor's servant and knows many secrets of the emperor.

Execution is actually silencing someone.

Just like He Lianyan, when he handled private matters for the emperor's uncle in Tanzhou, it was similar to the role of an eagle guard. Later, he even delivered meals to the emperor's uncle who was under house arrest.

If the matter ends here, it can be regarded as a beautiful story of repaying a favor.

But in a blink of an eye, the emperor's uncle changed from a prisoner to the emperor's uncle, and the uncle-nephew relationship was abandoned by the emperor in an instant, and people were looking for her to silence her.

He Lianchun didn't kill He Lianhong because he had a kind heart... How could a ruthless man who could kill his niece care about He Lianhong, the Eagle Guard commander who had caused many obstacles for him in the past?

This is just because He Lianchun's identity is embarrassing.

The emperor's uncle had no direct blood relationship with the emperor, and not long after he became the emperor's uncle, the emperor died on his way back from the southern expedition.

He Lianchun, who ascended the throne in a hurry, found out awkwardly that he didn't have many useful confidants.

At this time, the role of the Eagle Guard was magnified.

Even after killing He Lianhong, He Lianchun could not find a confidant who could take charge of the Eagle Guard.

Therefore, Helian Hong was just hanging on and was lucky.

But as time went by, He Lianchun held more and more power and had more and more people at his disposal.

Helian Hong is in danger.

She must show her loyalty and role to the emperor.

Therefore, the Eagle Guards persevered in assassinating the Northern Xinjiang Jiedushi.

Liao Jin was hit and paralyzed.

He Lianhong won the praise of the emperor, saying that she was my best friend.

Unexpectedly, this matter actually came true for Yang Xuan.

Immediately, Daliao suddenly discovered that Yang Xuan was more difficult to deal with than Liao Jin.

The situation at the border suddenly changed.

The people of Eagle Guard discovered that it seems that we made a mistake in assassinating Liao Jin!

Hence, Qiao Ying's trip.

From the outside, he witnessed Yang Xuan going in and the short but fierce fighting inside. He was overjoyed at first, but then he saw Yang Xuan walking out and getting on the carriage on his own.

The assassination failed!

He wanted to lurk in the city and wait for the next opportunity to take action, but his reason told him that there would be a major manhunt in Taoxian City and it was not safe.

Therefore, Qiao Ying decisively evacuated.

After leaving the city, he ran south first.

If there are pursuers, they must go north.

In this way, he walked around behind the pursuers, watching those idiots anxiously looking for his traces, while enjoying the summer scenery leisurely.

If it doesn’t work this time, try again next time.

He squatted in the south of Taoxian County for two days, then pretended to be a businessman and quietly headed north.

On the third day, he walked out of Taoxian County.

He avoided wide areas and crowded places.

Choose to walk through the jungle.

With the terrain of hills and jungles and his ability to hide his whereabouts, Qiao Ying felt that even if the Eagle Guard's experts gathered together, they would not be able to find him.

He stood outside the jungle, grinning ferociously in the direction of Taoxian County, "I'll come back next time!"

Then, he saw a horse!

And, a young man.

"Wang Lao Er!"

Qiao Ying's eyes narrowed, he abandoned his horse and rushed into the jungle.

"Dog thief!"

Wang Laoer rode his horse to catch up, "I've been waiting for you for two days!"

He rode his horse to the edge of the jungle and abandoned it as well. However, before going in, he first checked the horses left behind by Qiao Ying.

"There are not many places for mosquito bites. You are indeed hiding near Taoxian County."

He took out a piece of dried meat and threw it into his mouth, "Assassinate Mr. Lang, do you still want to run away?"

…

After entering the jungle, Qiao Ying kept changing directions.

He ran for more than an hour, stopped, listened to no movement behind him, and chose a fallen dead tree to sit down and rest.

The dead wood fell on a small earthen bag, and the bottom was suspended in the air. There were some fungus, large and small, growing on the dead wood. Climbing vines snaked around the sides, leaving some green.

On the ground, a centipede slowly crawled across Qiao Ying's feet.

He took out his water bag and took a sip.

There are big trees all around, with dense crowns. Through the gaps, you can see a piece of blue sky.

This is a rare humid area, where you can hear streams flowing and the occasional chirping of birds.

A colorful venomous snake hung down from the branch, dangling, and its triangular snake head slowly approached the back of Qiao Ying's neck.

The snake hesitantly opened its mouth, its fangs flashing.

Qiao Ying casually flicked his finger, and the venomous snake flew back, but it was not dead. It crawled for a while, looked at Qiao Ying, and quietly disappeared into the canopy of the tree.

He only had to apply more force and the snake's head would split, but he only drove away the poisonous snake.

He took out a piece of dry biscuit and ate it slowly.

When lurking, food must be eaten sparingly, and each bite must be chewed thoroughly and swallowed slowly.

He bought the pancake in Taoxian County. He said it was a dough pancake from the time-honored Cao family. The pancake had been stored for three days and was slightly sour, but when you took a bite, you could still feel its toughness.

Pancakes like this will make you hungry even more.

Chew slowly, the slightly sour taste gradually dissipates, and the aroma of wheat is rich.

Qiao Ying remembered that he once met an expert. The expert ate very simply, just dry biscuits, and they were flatbread. He just ate like this and ate with relish.

The master said that he would not live to be fifty, so Qiao Ying naturally didn't believe it. With his level of cultivation, it would be easy for him to live to be eighty or ninety years old.

The expert just smiled and said: Try it! If you like this taste, you will be relieved.

From then on, Qiao Ying’s staple food was dead dough pancakes.

He is not afraid of death, but he wants to live longer so that he can enjoy the happiness of the world.

Eagle Guard's current situation seems to be prosperous, but Qiao Ying knows that He Lianhong is still a thorn in the emperor's side.

When the emperor becomes more powerful and frees up his hands, the first thing to do is to cleanse the Eagle Guards.

Smart people are all looking for a way out, and so is Qiao Ying, but while looking for a way out, he wants to go one step further.

"That widow is so stupid. If she doesn't leave now, she won't be able to leave in the future."

Qiao Ying took a sip of water.

The emperor needs a confidant to be in charge of the Eagle Guard. This person must be loyal first, and capable second.

It's wonderful that Qiao Ying's birthplace was Tanzhou.
