The two minions who ran out to protect the bald man had already died under the knife of the shadow guard on the way to escape.
King Qi, who was taken hostage by the bald man, saw the shadow guards headed by Xiao Ye walking forward without any scruples and couldn't help but roared: "What are you doing?! Do you want me to die?!"
The bald man also said: "Yes! You all stand back! Give me your vote and stand back! Otherwise, I will chop him to death with a knife!"
Xiao Ye looked at King Qi and said with emotion: "My cousin's heroic behavior without fear of life or death in order to put down the rebellion and exterminate the rebel bandits as soon as possible. I will definitely report the truth to the emperor's uncle. Didn't my cousin always want to be the prince? When the time comes,
I will definitely ask the emperor's uncle to make my cousin the first prince. Don't worry, emperor! Someone will shoot an arrow!"
More than a dozen shadow guards raised their bows and shot arrows together, all aiming at the bald master. Of course, King Qi was also aligned.
King Qi looked at the shadow guard who was holding his bow and arrow, his eyes widened, and he roared: "Stop! I am the eldest son of the emperor. Anyone who dares to attack me is treason! Xiao Ye, Xiao Ye, in terms of seniority, I am your brother
Ah! You can't do this to me!"
Xiao Ye looked at King Qi and said sincerely: "Fine."
King Qi said anxiously: "Blood is thicker than water!"
Behind a hillside, Xu Qing, Long Bing'er and two shadow guards stood here. This was the side and rear of the bald man. The bald man's knife-wielding hand and round, shiny head were clearly revealed.
The bald man was still swinging forward with his sword, still confronting Xiao Ye and the dozens of shadow guards in front of him. One foot behind the bald man was the big tree beside the mountain road.
Long Bing'er looked at Xu Qing and said, "Give me a bow."
Xu Qing took the bow from the shadow guard and handed it to Long Bing'er, and then handed Long Bing'er an arrow.
Long Binger shook her head and said, "I want two."
Xu Qing handed another arrow to Long Bing'er. Long Bing'er put the two arrows on the bow, opened the bow and took aim. Then he found the right moment to ensure the safety of the hostages to the greatest extent, loosened the bow string and shot the arrow.
.
The two arrows left the string and flew towards the bald man. One arrow hit the bald man's hand, and the other hit his waist and abdomen.
The bald man was originally huddled behind King Qi, with the long knife in his hand pointed forward at Xiao Ye and the shadow guard. Now he was shot in the left hand by a sword, and the long knife in his hand suddenly fell out of his hand due to pain and fell to the ground.
Then another arrow hit his waist and abdomen, causing him to lose his ability to react.
Xiao Ye saw the bald man coming to the end, and rushed forward first. He kicked King Qi away first, letting King Qi escape from the bald man's control, and then controlled the bald man.
From the perspective of Xu Qing, who was behind the hillside, Xiao Ye's kick seemed somewhat personal...
If it weren't for the shadow guard behind him, Xiao Ye would have been kicked by that kick just now and rolled down the mountain.
What happened next can be said to be a storm. The shadow guards killed a small number of the bandits and captured most of them alive.
Although these bandits are all good at digging holes, they are far worse at fighting.
No match for Shadow Guard at all.
After clearing away the bandits on Beishan Mountain, Xiao Ye planned to lead the crowd in pursuit, but the winding mountain roads in front of him stumped Xiao Ye.
These mountain roads lead to different directions, and some of them are newly opened. Xiao Ye and the shadow guards really don't know where the end points of these mountain roads lead.
Although the bandits on Funiu Mountain were mediocre in military force, they were extremely good at digging mountains and digging rocks. Their hands passed through these mountains and were completely different from the route map given by the Fengzhou Governor, and there was little connection.
Xiao Ye and Xu Qing compared the road map given by Fengzhou Governor together, looking at the mountain roads, trying to identify the route.
Long Binger had no idea about this, she just stood next to Xu Qing, peeled off the candy wrapper, and put a white rabbit toffee into her mouth.
At this moment, a shadow guard suddenly said: "Who is it?"
As he spoke, he pulled out his knife and pointed it at the man.
I saw a man wearing a Confucian robe, holding a feather fan, and looking like a counselor came out. He looked at Xu Qing and Xiao Ye and cupped his fists and said, "Spy Shadow Xu Chen has met the three commanders and met His Highness the Crown Prince."
There are five Shadow Guards in total. One Shadow Guard is responsible for intelligence, so the first Shadow Guard is also called the Spy Shadow. It controls the intelligence network all over the Three Kingdoms of the Central Plains.
Of course, being spread throughout the Three Kingdoms is just that. The main battlefield of the Shadow Guards is still the Chu Kingdom.
Although the wise king did want to build an intelligence network that spread throughout the Three Kingdoms and was omniscient, the ideal was very full and the reality was very skinny.
Only a very small number of Shadow Guards can lurk in a foreign country and steal information without being discovered. Moreover, because they are located in a foreign country, the cost of transmitting information is very slow and high. The small number of intelligence will be replaced and eliminated, and most of them will be eliminated.
Very little useful information was obtained.
When the Xian King discovered this problem, he returned Yiwei's main battlefield to Chu State.
In Chu's aristocratic families and high-ranking officials' residences, there might be spies lurking in them disguised as servants, monitoring their every move on behalf of the wise king.
Well, it actually has something to do with poverty.
The intelligence network spread throughout the Three Kingdoms was too expensive, and the court couldn't bear it, so it had no choice but to cancel it. Although there were spies left in Zhou and Zhao, they had been streamlined repeatedly and could be said to be only a handful.
Xu Qing looked at Xu Chen and asked curiously: "People from Yiwei? How to prove it?"
Xu Chen took out a token and said: "Report to the third commander, this is the token of my subordinates."
A shadow guard took the token and handed it to Xu Qing. Xu Qing looked around and saw that it was indeed Yi Wei's token. This person's identity did not seem to be fake.
Xu Qing looked at Xu Chen's token while Xu Chen said: "Three months ago, my subordinates were ordered by the prince to lurk in Funiu Mountain just for today."
Xu Qing looked at Xu Chen and asked, "Since you are lurking here, do you know where these mountain roads lead to?"
Xu Chen nodded and said: "My subordinates have gained the trust of the leader during these days on the mountain, and have explored and mapped the topographic map of the mountain road. They are just waiting for the commander to come. However, the changes in the agencies on the way up the mountain are elusive, and the subordinates
It’s impossible to estimate the situation together, but fortunately the army is safe.”
It's not that elusive. Even they themselves can't figure it out, which makes it difficult for Xu Chen.
Xu Chen handed over the precise topographic map he had measured and mapped in his arms, which was still handed over by the shadow guard.
Xu Qing and Xiao Ye looked at such detailed drawings and admired Xu Chen's ability to do things.
Xiao Ye took the terrain map, shadow guards and the imperial troops who rushed out from the east mountain to the top of the mountain to suppress the bandits.
Xu Qing, Long Binger and Xu Chen stayed where they were and did not follow to suppress the bandits.
Long Bing'er was sitting on a big rock under a tree and eating candy.
She worked hard today, so she should reward herself with a few more candies.
Xu Qing looked at Xu Shen in front of him and said, "Your mission shouldn't be just to lurk in the village and draw a few topographic maps to help suppress the bandits, right?"
