Chen Cheng said "hmm", put the arrow in his hand back into the quiver, then pulled out the arrow on his face, and said calmly: "I'm fine."
The first enemy was shot through the heart, and it was settled at that time. Although the second enemy was also shot through the body, he did not die for a while. He laughed on the ground and said: "The arrow is coated with aconite poison."
, Commander Chen, although we will die today, you will die too!"
Liu Qian exclaimed, Chen Cheng glanced at her, stretched out his hand to wipe the blood on his face, turned around and said: "You don't have to worry about whether I die or not, but you are about to die. Who sent you here?
If you tell me, I will spare your life."
The man on the ground endured the severe pain and said with a smile: "Are we greedy for life and afraid of death?"
After saying that, he flipped his wrist, and the dagger immediately cut his throat. The hoofbeats of the horses behind him sounded quickly, and Zhao Yun rushed over. He didn't wait for the horse to stop, and jumped off the horse. After running to Chen Cheng's side, Zhao Yun
He said anxiously: "I don't know if there are any other assassins here. My lord, please return to the army immediately!"
Chen Cheng wiped the blood on his cheek again. The wound had begun to close up. He shook his head and said, "Don't worry, it will be in vain if any assassins come. Go check and see where these people come from."
Seeing his firm attitude, Zhao Yun thought of the miracles on him, and calmed down. He turned around and went with other tooth soldiers to check the assassin's equipment and the horses nearby. After a while, he turned gloomy.
He came over and said: "The chainmail armor they are wearing and the weapons they use are all made in Lian County this month, and there are inscriptions engraved on them. Several horses have also been nailed with horseshoes, and the saddles and stirrups are also military."
Standard equipment in..."
"What's the conclusion?"
The muscles on Zhao Yun's face twitched, and he said in a voice filled with anger: "Someone has evil intentions. Even if the envoy is not in the army, there must be an accomplice nearby!"
He knelt down on one knee and said loudly: "My lord, please order immediately to block all the ferries and the gates of Lian County, and then search the whole city!"
Chen Cheng didn't answer. He sat on the horse and closed his eyes. After a while, he opened his eyes and said, "Don't make such a big battle. Cover the bodies of these people with cloths and take them back.
Then send an order to Yang Qiu and Lu Fang to come to the Chinese army."
"yes!"
The group of people quickly returned to where they came from. Liu Qian was guarded by the tooth soldiers in the middle of the group. She raised her head several times to look at the wounds on Chen Cheng's face, wanting to say something, but in the end she said nothing.
Riding forward with a dull head.
When they returned to the army, Yan Xing, Liang Xing, Li Kan and other generals were planning to wait for Chen Cheng to come back and start the banquet tonight, but when they saw the arrow wound on his face, their expressions changed drastically.
Chen Cheng stopped Yan Zhong who was about to speak, and said with a smile: "Today's hunting, I didn't hunt any tigers or leopards, but I shot a few assassins, which is a strange thing. It's not surprising that I shot two to death, but the princess actually
I also shot an assassin, don’t you think this is interesting?”
Yan Zhong whispered: "How did the assassin know where the prince was going? This matter is too strange and needs to be investigated thoroughly."
Chen Cheng said lightly: "It's mediocre not to attract people's attention. Some people don't have anything to do, so they only use assassination methods. You know, studying medicine can't save the Chinese... Ahem, I am
It is said that assassination cannot change the general trend of history."
He looked both ways and said, "Don't look so long. Don't mention this matter again. We killed a lot of prey today. Let the soldiers light the bonfire and bring out the wine and meat! It's a busy day.
After half a year, it’s time for everyone to relax!”
The generals looked at each other, then returned to their respective teams with sullen heads. After a while, the order was spread throughout the army, and the soldiers outside cheered. Liu Qian took a piece of cloth and beat it with wine.
After getting wet, he stepped forward and prepared to wipe the wounds on Chen Cheng's face.
Chen Cheng said: "We have to go into the mountains in the next few days. Bo Dao shouldn't follow us. You can go back to the city first. Han Sui's fight is inextricable, and there may be changes at some point.
, only when you sit in the city can I rest assured."
Yan Zhong admired Chen Cheng's calmness, cupped his hand and said: "No!"
He got up and walked out of the tent. When he lifted the curtain, he looked back and saw Liu Qian gently wiping the blood stains on Chen Cheng's face with a cloth. Yan Zhong looked away, and his mind went through several times.
thought, and then walked out.
Liu Qian carefully wiped the blood off Chen Cheng's face. For some reason, she felt a little pain in her heart. She asked with red eyes, "Will it hurt a lot?"
Chen Cheng smiled, and the wound on his face trembled. It looked very scary, but his eyes were full of smiles, as if the wound was on someone else. He took the cloth and said: "
Pain is just an illusion of the soul. Princess, we are essentially no different from ordinary people, but we are still different from ordinary people. As long as our will is strong enough, then the so-called pain and suffering will only make us become more
powerful."
Liu Qian's eyes widened and she shouted: "Master, you are talking nonsense again. How could such a nonsense happen?"
Chen Cheng pondered for a while and asked, "You shot and killed a person today. Do you have any strange feelings?"
"No, it's just like shooting a rabbit. Why do you have a strange feeling?"
Chen Cheng raised his eyebrows that were no longer delicate and said, "It's fine if you don't."
In fact, he wanted to ask who sent her the message, but when he said it, he felt that there was no need to know, so he just let it go. The assassin's arrow just now looked dangerous, but it only caused him some flesh wounds.
The so-called "aconitum poison" has no effect on him at all.
As soon as Yan Zhong left the Chinese army's tent, Yan Xing came to greet him. He asked in a low voice: "Uncle, is my lord okay?"
"Hey, you don't know how brave the Lord is, what can a few assassins do to him?" Yan Zhong sighed: "Those people are so brave, they dare to send assassins!"
Yan Xing asked again: "Uncle, do you know what the plan is?"
Yan Zhong sneered and said: "Although I can't pinpoint which person's head, but it can be done with just one palm!"
Having said this, he stared at Yan Xing, "You won't be involved in this matter, will you?"
Although Yan Xing was superb in martial arts, he couldn't help being frightened at this time. He waved his hands and said, "Uncle, don't scare me. Why would I participate in such a thing?"
He whispered: "It's not like I don't know Junhou's martial arts, how could I be so stupid as to think that a few assassins can do anything?"
"It's best if you don't have it!"
Seeing someone approaching, Yan Zhong changed the subject and asked, "Did you do well as a military commander?"
Yan Xing nodded and said: "Most of the laws enacted by my lord are inherited from the Han Dynasty, and military laws are no exception. They are in line with our Yan family's family education, so General Zhao promoted me to Army Sima."
Yan Zhong said with satisfaction: "Very good, you can serve as Army Sima for a while and read the two books "Mathematics" and "Physics" by the way. I will recommend you to the prince if I have the opportunity."
Yan Xing said "yes" first, then hesitated for a while and then said: "Uncle, my nephew has something to say, I don't know whether to say it or not."
Yan Zhong glanced at him, his face immediately turned cloudy, "If you don't know, then don't talk about it!"
He waved his sleeves, took two steps forward, stopped again, turned to Yan Xing who was standing there and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it quickly, I'm going back to the city soon!"
Yan Xing took two quick steps forward and said, "Well... the master's identity is different now. Should I also change my uncle's title?"
"kindness?"
"My lord is now the lord of Liangzhou. Even if you are not called lord, you should still be called envoy."
"..." Yan Zhong was silent for a while, sighed, shook his head and said, "You are really not as good as Jia Wenhe!"
Watching Yan Zhong leave quickly, Yan Xing was a little confused. He knew that Jia Wenhe was Jia Xu, but why should Jia Xu be compared with him? Even if three Jia Xu came together, he could easily do it.
Sent away.
By the time Yang Qiu and Lu Fang arrived at the Chinese army's tent, Chen Cheng had already finished taking the exam on Liu Qian's recent study progress. As soon as the two came in, they saw three corpses covered with linen in the tent and smelled the
The familiar smell of blood.
Yang Qiu walked over, lifted up the linen, looked at it, and then asked, "What's going on?"
Chen Cheng said casually: "I met a few assassins."
"So that's it," Yang Qiu looked at the wounds on Chen Cheng's face and asked, "What did you find out?"
"Just look at the weapons they use."
Yang Qiu picked up the Huanshou Sword, glanced at the inscription, and frowned. He raised his head and said, "This is a weapon made by the Ministry of Industry just this month!"
Lu Fang picked up an arrow cluster from the side, sniffed it, his expression changed slightly, "It's quenched with poison!"
Chen Cheng waved his hand and said: "These are all trivial matters. I called you here not for anything else, but to inform you, so that you will not hear any rumors and become suspicious. I am not going to make a big move on this matter. I will investigate it closely.
Yes. I may ask for your cooperation when the time comes, and I will notify you of any progress."
"promise!"
After talking with the two generals who held military power, Wang Yue was ordered to rush over. However, he did not go in directly. Instead, he waited for Yang Qiu and Lu Fang to leave before sneaking into the Chinese army's tent.
Chen Cheng didn't talk nonsense to him and directly ordered: "Find a few reliable people to bring the corpses on the ground back to the city and find out where they came from. If necessary, go to Lu Fang and Yang Qiu. They will cooperate with you."
.If you discover anything, please don’t make it public and notify me as soon as possible.”
Wang Yue bowed his hands, went out and called a few subordinates to come in, put the body into a sack, and stuffed it into the cart. They cleaned up the blood on the ground, and then quietly retreated out.
Chen Cheng was very satisfied with this. Wang Yue had been wandering around the streets of Luoyang for several years, and he was very good at doing these things. At this time, Liu Qian understood something. She pointed her index fingers together, and there was something
He asked uneasily: "Master, did I do something wrong?"
"kindness?"
"If I hadn't told you that I was going out for autumn hunting, I wouldn't have met the assassin, right?"
Chen Cheng smiled and said: "No problem, even if the assassin doesn't show up today, he will show up tomorrow. If he doesn't show up tomorrow, he will show up at another time. You have to remember that the higher our status, the greater the power in our hands.
, the more people you can influence, the more people will hate you. That’s why I ask you not to lose your martial arts skills. When the critical moment comes, the only one who can save you is yourself."
Liu Qian nodded in understanding and said obediently: "Oh."
Then, she asked: "Who sent the assassin?"
"Who do you think it was sent to?"
Liu Qian wrinkled her face and thought for a while, then asked, "Is it He Jin?"
Chen Cheng smiled and said: "Maybe, maybe not, who knows?"
Liu Qian named several people and shouted angrily: "They are the ones who asked me to tell the master about Qiu Lie. They must be a group of assassins!"
Chen Cheng shook his head and said: "It may not be them. Don't worry, just check slowly. The more calm we are, the more those people will jump out uncontrollably."
When he said this, a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, and murderous intent flowed out unconsciously, making Liu Qian next to him suddenly shiver.
