"Hey, you still want to run away!" Xiao Shilian yelled and jumped to chase him, but Li Xingchen almost subconsciously grabbed him. The surrounding guards also came to their senses and used their hands and feet to catch this obviously angry man.
The eldest son of the Xiao family held down.
"Brother Boqing, don't chase after the poor bandit, in case there is a scam!" Pei Zilie also hurriedly came over at this time, gave an order to Xiao Shilian, turned to Wu Mingche, and cupped his hands, "The governor was frightened."
Wu Mingche waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "You did a good job."
Hearing Wu Mingche's words, Li Xingchen took a breath and poked the Ziyun gun on the ground.
The battle just now seemed far less intense than a battle involving thousands of troops, but only through real experience can one understand that while such a battle requires less command and deployment of the entire army, it also places greater demands on individual abilities.
A very high improvement.
This is also why sometimes the scout battles before large armies clash have much higher requirements for the quality of soldiers on both sides than ordinary soldiers. They can even say by name that they need veterans of the battlefield, because only their
Experience and deadly fighting skills can ensure their survival in one-on-one situations or even in large numbers.
The surrounding guards had wounds more or less on their bodies. Enemies came in like a tide and disappeared in an instant. In total, the actual fighting time between the two sides was only the time of a cup of tea. But in this short time of a cup of tea, after Xiao Shilian
, Pei Zilie and the Wu family and Xiao family guards carefully selected by Li Xingchen killed fifteen or six people in the battle. The injured were not as many as those killed in the battle, but there were still **.
The opponent came very quickly, and the first attack was a fatal blow. Even these carefully selected elite soldiers actually suffered a loss. If they didn't know that these enemies, who were also scouts, would definitely have arranged their attacks along the way.
There are many light and dark traps, and these soldiers will definitely be unable to restrain themselves and rush out like Xiao Shilian.
"I have ordered the police to collect and investigate the body, but I guess I can't find anything." Xiao Mohe also rode over and learned that Wu Mingche and his family were not injured. Xiao Mohe had been directing the car blocking the road from the front.
The carriage moved away, and now he pulled away.
Li Xingchen and others nodded slightly. Since the other party had the courage to take action, he must have been fully prepared. As expected, after Xiao Mohe said this, an obviously experienced soldier held up a hand with an embarrassed look on his face.
He stepped forward with the lancet used by the man in black:
"General, this blade is very sharp, and the handle is brand new. It has probably not been used a few times. However, the marks of the production workshop on the blade and the handle have been erased. I think it may have been damaged in the battle.
It’s not big, most likely it was erased on purpose.”
"Is this all the case?"
The old soldier hesitated for a moment and waved his hand. A soldier next to him also held a lancet. The old soldier pointed at the knife and said: "The mark on this knife has not been completely erased. Although my eyes are dim,
But it can still be vaguely recognized...but this symbol is the symbol of our Zhongli workshop."
After a pause, the old soldier whispered: "And this knife is processed differently from other weapons. The other weapons directly cut off the marked piece, but this one obviously wants to
It's polished off, but it's just a lack of effort. So it's very likely that it was made by different people."
Xiao Shilian stamped his feet: "There is no difference between this and nothing."
Li Xingchen and Pei Zilie glanced at each other subconsciously, with stern expressions on their faces. There are only two possibilities for the appearance of weapons produced by Zhongli's workshop. One is that Chen Shuling knowingly wanted to arouse the suspicion of Wu Mingche and Xiao Mohe. The other is that
The first is that someone in the army really secretly communicated with Chen Shuling and even sent people to assist. However, he obviously did not handle these weapons as thoroughly as Chen Shuling, so the abnormality on the weapons was caused by these veterans who have been dealing with weapons for half their lives.
The pawn saw it.
Under the moonlight, the whole atmosphere suddenly became cold.
After a while, Wu Mingche stroked his beard with great interest and sighed: "I didn't expect that I would one day kill myself with the weapon that I supervise production. It's really funny!"
Li Xingchen and the others couldn't laugh out loud, they just looked at each other.
Before Wu Mingche could finish speaking, Xiao Mohe took the weapon, looked at it, and chuckled: "There is a large flow of weapons in the army, so it is reasonable for the weapons produced by Zhongli to appear in the Yangzhou army. However,
The governor of Yangzhou can take this opportunity to make us suspicious. Although he has good intentions, it is ridiculous."
Xiao Mohe followed Wu Mingche's wishes and said this, which was tantamount to giving a conclusion to this matter. At this time, Li Xingchen and Pei Zilie let out a low breath, but Xiao Shilian's heart was obviously not on this, and he glanced at the side from time to time.
Li Lian'er, who opened the carriage curtain and looked over, didn't know what this kid was thinking.
Since Wu Mingche and Xiao Mohe have already said it, it naturally means that this matter will no longer be pursued. After all, no matter which angle you analyze it, the possibility that Chen Shuling wants to frame him is higher than that someone in the army really wants to get rid of him.
The possibility of Xiao Mohe and Wu Mingche is much higher, especially now that the only ones in the army who have the real ability to communicate with Yangzhou secretly are Fan Meng and Ren Zhong, and with His Majesty's reward and Wu Mingche's warning, both of them can be regarded as
Stay calm and you will never do such a stupid thing.
Because once the incident happened or a mistake was made before the battle, they would not be able to bear the anger and pressure, whether from His Majesty or Wu Mingche. How could Fan Meng and Ren Zhongjiu not understand Wu Mingche's prestige and skills when they were in the army, and such a huge risk?
If the sneak attack fails and any flaws are revealed, they will definitely be left with nothing to lose.
"As quickly as you come, you can go quickly. If you miss a hit, you'll turn around and leave." Wu Mingche said in a low voice, "These guys are a bit interesting."
Xiao Mohe raised his eyebrows and looked around. This area is close to the river and has abundant water and grass. The grass around it grows very tall, which is good for hiding. In addition, the official road is rugged, difficult and narrow, which will inevitably slow down the speed. It is a good choice.
The ambush location. Chen Shuling had ambushed his men here in advance and must have carefully selected them. However, the men in black who took action still followed the usual method of scout warfare. Since there was little chance of success, they turned around and left.
If these people had received a death order to kill Wu Mingche or Xiao Mohe, they would definitely not have retreated so calmly, but would have fought to the death. Today's situation is a bit unusual.
Wu Mingche slowly turned around and walked towards the carriage, whispering: "This is just... a warning given to us by the governor of Yangzhou. A real storm..."
The old man raised his head and looked at the moon in the sky, squinting his eyes: "Still behind!"
Xiao Mohe and others all had stern expressions on their faces and followed Wu Mingche's eyes.
The bright moon hanging high in the sky still exudes a faint light, but who can guarantee that one day, even this bright moon will be painted with blood?
