It’s night, half past Yin time (around four o’clock in the morning).
Even though day and night are intertwining, there are still many flaming figures in Zhao Jun’s camp and Jingxing Pass in front.
A few days ago, the Qin army, which had suspended its offensive, moved again, which naturally aroused the vigilance of the Zhao army. Both Guancheng and the rear camp were on heightened alert. Soldiers patrolled day and night without stopping. p>
However, the patrol of property-seeking soldiers can only guard against ordinary people. It is not so effective for some martial arts masters who are well versed in sneaking in and assassinating.
The land of Yan and Zhao has the largest number of Jianghu people in the world. Although Zhao Wangqian has a bad reputation, he must be brave enough to receive a heavy reward. He still successfully recruited a group of good men to assassinate Li Mu.
There are more than ten people in the group, all of them are martial arts masters whose skills are comparable to those of the best in snares and killings. They are considered rare.
As for the real top players, there are none.
The reason for this is not that there are no such masters in Yan and Zhao, but that most of these masters have a good reputation and will not come to assassinate Li Mu for the declining Zhao country.
Jianghu people care most about reputation. Some of them may not care about notoriety, but they definitely don’t like being infamy.
Especially the purest infamy involving national justice.
Killing Li Mu will give them such a reputation that they will never take off.
Farmers will brag to others about the six hall masters who joined forces to kill the 'human butcher' Bai Qi, but if the target were Li Mu, they would not dare to say even a word.
A single curse from one of the people in the North is enough to make all the 100,000 disciples of the peasant family unable to hold their heads high.
Only these desperadoes with mediocre martial arts would do this kind of thing for money.
The climate in mid-March is refreshing, and with the gentle night breeze, the chill of early spring has disappeared.
However, the weather tonight is not satisfactory. The sky is dark, the stars are dim, and the moon appears and disappears, weak and lackluster.
Surprisingly, there were not many soldiers assigned to guard the Chinese army camp where Li Mu was located - that is, outside the commander's tent.
But it is reasonable. With his strength, if someone can get inside the camp and assassinate him, it won't matter how many ordinary soldiers guard it outside, so why waste that manpower.
More than a dozen killers, wearing dark night clothes, took advantage of the dark moon and high winds to successfully reach the Chinese army camp.
The killing spree against Li Mu is about to begin.
………………
Not far outside the camp, Zhao Cong and the envoy of King Zhao were anxiously observing the movements of the camp.
Can these killers kill Li Mu?
No one knows the answer to this, not even Zhao Cong, nor Zhao Wangqian.
If possible, they naturally hope that the assassin will succeed in the assassination and kill Li Mu directly, so that Zhao Cong can easily take over the army.
But if they failed to kill Li Mu immediately, then Li Mu, who was protected by hundreds of thousands of Zhao troops, would never be forcibly killed by these dozen people.
Unless all the soldiers just watch Li Mu being surrounded and killed, this is obviously impossible.
Therefore, once there is unusual movement in Zhao Jun's camp, Zhao Cong and others must enter the camp as soon as possible and take advantage of the chaos to hinder the soldiers to rescue Li Mu.
This requires them to seize the opportunity, and they must do it quickly. If it is too late, allowing Li Mu to rely on his personal guards to take a breather and regain control of the army, it is likely that what happened a few days ago will happen again.<
/p>
Even Zhao Cong and others will be thrown out of the camp.
Maybe... because of the assassination, the situation will be more serious?
Zhao Cong is not very clear.
However, even a fool like him knows that this matter is risky.
But he didn't care, because Li Mu couldn't really rebel.
Even if it fails, at most it will be driven back to HD in despair.
But if it succeeds, he will replace Li Mu in command of an army of hundreds of thousands, and he may even have the opportunity to become Zhao Guoxin's general in the future.
I don’t know why this mentally retarded person didn’t think about what he could do to resist Wang Jian and his hundreds of thousands of elite Qin soldiers.
While Zhao Cong and others were waiting anxiously, some unusual movement finally occurred in the Zhao Jun camp not far away, and there seemed to be more floating and floating firelights.
Zhao Cong immediately became energetic and rushed into the camp with his men.
Although Li Mu was determined not to accept the order to change generals, for ordinary Zhao soldiers, Zhao Wangqian was still the king they must obey. Therefore, without Li Mu's order, they did not dare to stop Zhao Cong and his party, who had the king's orders.
.
When they arrived near the Chinese army's camp, all they saw, apart from circles of Li Mu's soldiers, was only the light of fire reaching into the sky.
The commander's tent and the surrounding military tents were all ablaze.
Judging from the results, Li Mu has obviously perished in the flames along with those killers.
Seeing this scene, Zhao Cong grinned happily to the back of his ears, but he quickly restrained himself, pretending to be worried about Li Mu's safety, and commanded the surrounding Li Mu soldiers to put out the fire.
Of course Li Mu's personal soldiers ignored this guy, but it was necessary to put out the fire.
The camp is close to the Hutuo River and there is no shortage of water. However, how can the tents that have been burned down be extinguished by manpower and water?
But after all, it was just a few tents, and the fire did not spread and was extinguished in less than an hour.
At this time, the sky was already shining, the sky and the earth were dimly lit, and the area around Li Mu's tent had also been burned to a scorched ground.
Li Mu's soldiers found more than a dozen corpses from the fire scene. One of them, although his appearance and body shape was completely indistinguishable due to the high temperature, could probably be judged to be Li Mu based on the remaining armor.
Zhao Cong was so happy about this that he didn't even bother to check how many corpses there were at the scene and whether the number was correct. He even turned a blind eye to the disappearance of Li Mu's sword, the famous sword Zhenyue, and concentrated on gathering it.
After losing the general, the army fell into chaos.
At the same time, dozens of miles away from Zhao Jun's camp, by the Hutuo River, a figure wearing commoners and carrying a long sword was walking along the vapor-filled river in the hazy sky.
Gu Xun stood quietly not far behind this figure, watching the military god of the generation go away.
He showed no trace and said his last few farewell words to Li Mu.
There is no need, just witness this scene quietly.
Since then, there has been no General Zhao, Northland Army God, or Wolf Hunter Li Mu in the world. The only one left is the Northland Spirit Keeper who has died at this time.
On the other side of the Zhao Army camp, Li Mu died. The whole army was demoralized and morale plummeted. Under the leadership of Li Mu's personal guards, tens of thousands of Zhao Army soldiers fled the camp and fled in all directions.
Countryside.
Zhao Cong intended to use these "deserters" as targets for his new official to establish his authority. However, before he could make arrangements, the Qin army, which discovered the Zhao army's misfortune, suddenly had its entire army pressing down and knocking on the pass.
