Aggrieved Fish Sprite

Sukasa remained motionless.

The rain passed through the gaps in the leaves, and a drop fell just on the tip of his eyebrows.

Sukasa blinked familiarly, preventing the water droplets from flowing into his eyes. The ugly and terrifying scars on his face are "natural rivers" at this time. Sukasa has his own set of movements to adjust his facial muscles, so that he can keep best condition.

If you don't move, you are done, and if you move, you will be killed with one blow.

——Somewhere thousands of miles away, Meng Qi was telling Qiu Jing of Fengxing Pavilion not to send anyone to assassinate the King of Heaven, if the Su Li from Piaoping Pavilion, the former No. To die is to die.

When the two armies are at war, it is actually not a good way to assassinate the opposing coach.

It is not the method itself, but the difficulty of doing it.

The barracks will not be like in the novels, where any assassin can sneak in.

This kind of thing probably only happened in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and it was relatively rare in the Qin and Han Dynasties.

Because fighting is also a science, and it develops with the passage of time. How to camp and how to patrol are the art of war.Such a heavily guarded patrol is not to catch assassins, but to prevent the enemy from attacking the camp.

If the assassin went directly to the largest, most central, and most closely guarded camp, there was a high probability that they would only find food and grass.

When the emperor and dignitaries were hunting, the spacious camp was like a house, and it could be divided into several rooms, which could be seen from a distance.Those camps that have been stationed for a long time can also be distinguished by the direction and the size of the camp, but it is hard to say these in real wars.

Especially the kind of army that is stationed today and will leave camp tomorrow.

The guards next to the commander are not just for food. It is impossible for only two people to stand guard at the entrance of the camp foolishly, and then give the assassin a chance to cut open the tent, sneak in and chop the general who was sleeping alone.

At this time, it was less than a hundred years since the warlords came together at the end of the Chen Dynasty, and the army basically continued the habit of that time. The camp was solid, with twenty personal guards around, and there could be more than ten guards in the camp alone.

Suppose the assassin is very good at light work and lucky enough to touch the tent of the general he wants to kill.

The general was not wearing the iconic fine armor. There were more than a dozen people in the camp, plus the guards on duty outside the camp, it was enough chaos.This is still a situation where there is no defense at all. If there are two or three masters around and ambushes, it is very normal for the assassin to miss.

The assassination should have been handed over to someone better at it.

Even the swordsman could not have imagined that less than two months after he retired from the world, he would "return to his old business" again.

Although Meng Qi Moli brought the news, they took the things they left behind and prepared to leave.Sukasa thought about it and decided to make a move.

In fact, this is still an unfinished transaction. King Wu once offered [-] gold to ask Piaoping Pavilion to assassinate King Tianshou.

Su Li is not interested in money. He came out because he didn’t want to see the villagers near Feihe Mountain being forced to flee into the reed marshes. Among these villagers were his grandfather by blood, and the fishing village where his grandfather had lived all his life. It's been tough, but it's still manageable.

Seeing those ruined villages on the road made the swordsman more and more convinced.

That's what he does best.

The rain stopped.

The voices of people in the distant camp were boiling, and the heat from hundreds of pots and stoves almost turned into a cloud.

King Tianshou led an army of [-] to invade Jingzhou, and the main force was in front of him. Although there were not [-] people, at least there were about [-]. It was a large area of ​​darkness.Not to mention breaking in, most people will be terrified when they see it. This has nothing to do with whether they know martial arts, it's just an uncontrollable natural reaction to find that reality is different from what they imagined.

Thinking about Qin Wuyang, Jing Ke's deputy, he is also a famous warrior in Yan State, and his grandfather is also a famous general of Yan State. It can't be said that he has never seen the world. If he is really afraid of death, he can escape on the way to Qin State. His complexion changed drastically and his body trembled, unable to contain it for a while.

Obviously Qin Palace is different from Yan Palace.

——I wanted to make a cutscene to leave my name in history, but I suddenly found out that I was going to enter the Longtan and Tiger's Den.

The swordsman frowned slightly, and continued to wait motionlessly.

This is the best location, he needs to see clearly the distribution of manpower in the camp, of course it is the most convenient when meals are served.

In addition to the soldiers, there were also a large number of members of the Holy Lotus Temple in the camp. They wore various vestments and held copper bells, beads, and golden wheels.The holy lotus altar is almost full of main forces this time, and they are all concentrated around the king of heaven. In just a short while, the swordsman found that at least two people's martial arts are high enough to compete with the heads of those big sects up.

Put it on the rivers and lakes, no matter what, they are all famous people.

This made Su Li wonder, does the holy lotus altar really have such a deep foundation?

The distance was too far, Su Li couldn't recognize who those people were, and couldn't figure it out, so he simply didn't think about it, and silently listed the assassination plan in more detail.He will only make one move, and will never kill anyone before meeting the Heavenly Granted King. He will completely integrate himself into the surroundings like a gust of wind, a tree and a stone.

Before that, he crouched in the muddy bushes, without any murderous look, even a hare dared to step on his back and jump over the puddle

"rustle."

There was the sound of footsteps stepping on fallen leaves and dead branches in the woods, and a group of holy lotus followers entered the woods.

They need to search the vicinity of the camp to see if there are any abnormalities, such as rivers with greatly receding water levels, dead animal carcasses, and so on.The former means that the upstream water source is blocked, while the latter means that someone has poisoned the water source.

Not only that, but also to cut down the overly dense bushes and forcibly pull out some withered grass, so that if the forest catches fire, it will not spread quickly, and the soldiers in the camp will not be unable to run because of the thick smoke.

These things are complicated to say, but they are very simple to implement. In addition, it has just rained and the place is wet everywhere, so the task of cutting down trees is saved.

They carelessly fiddled with the bushes a few times, wandered around a few times, and complained in Yizhou dialect.

Su Li couldn't understand what they were talking about at all. Although he was able to speak a few words in various local dialects after traveling the rivers and lakes, these people didn't know where they came from. There is no obstacle.

As they continued to fiddle with the bushes, the hare jumped out, and a group of people immediately chased after them, shouting.

The muddy ground was slippery, these people could only do some superficial skills, but the rabbit ran away, and they immediately cursed.

"It is said that Jiangnan is a land of wealth and honor, and a cave of enchanted souls. It's just nonsense."

"Ecstasy Cave? That refers to Yangzhou... We are still far away!"

"If you want me to say, no enchanted cave is as important as the tooth-making festival. There is almost no oil in the stomach. Their frontier army is happy and happy. Unlike us, they can only catch some hares and pheasants to satisfy their hunger."

A group of people immediately started arguing over whether it was important to sacrifice the five viscera temple or the lower body.

After searching around in the forest, it was getting dark and still found nothing.

"What kind of shabby place, and you say that every household can't starve to death, hiding gold, pearls and jade? Why go out without food, but the river can catch fish, and it doesn't take a stick of incense to climb a mountain... But it didn't say that the mountain is so small Not even a tiger can live!"

As he spoke, there was another series of swearing, as if he had been suppressed hard.

The swordsman remained calm, watching these people leave through the gap between the trees, vines and soil.

It was getting dark quickly, and the night was shrouded in darkness. Su Li wrapped his cloak and climbed up a tree, hiding half of his body in the branches, only showing a pair of eyes to look at the camp in the distance.

It is ridiculous to be so cautious when there is no one around. The swordsman even hung tree vines on his body as a cover, coupled with the airtight two-layer mask and cloak, his body is in a weird twisted posture hanging on a tree.

Others were either squatting on the tree trunk or leaning on it, and the swordsman was not involved in any of them, so that even if the moon suddenly came out, or someone in the forest came in and lit a torch abruptly, the shadow cast by the tree trunk would not expose him.

Su Li asked himself that he didn't have the brains to deal with others for more than a dozen rounds. In a battle of wits and courage, he would only be the latter, and make up for the missing part with caution, because the person who will die will always make the most mistakes.

Who can know when he made a mistake?I can't figure out what's wrong until I die -->>

There are too many people.

——Who said that people who are not smart have no way to survive without brains?

At this moment, Sukasa's cautiousness was at work.

In the Tianshouwang camp, someone used a binoculars to look around the nearby highlands, and after confirming that there was nothing unusual, he put down the expensive brass crystal lens tube.

"General Zheng is really loyal to the Heavenly King." An old man next to him said eccentrically.

Zheng Tu, who is well-known in the Jianghu, is a very handsome man with sword eyebrows and star eyes, bee waist and ape arms, the whole is just like the one who walked out of the line drawing illustrations in the heroic storybook.It was directly a head taller than the old man, and standing there looked "wider" than others, but it didn't look like a hunchback, clumsy and slow.

Facing the old man's ridicule, Zheng Tu didn't show any anger on his face, and said calmly: "Mr. Lei was joking, and it's my duty, so I dare not be unsatisfied."

The old man snorted contemptuously, and said old-fashionedly: "Young people like you can't hold your breath when things happen. As the saying goes, if you don't have hair on your mouth, you can't do things well. This is not something you can see through with a few beards." , I always ask people for advice, and when General Zheng reaches my age, he will be able to understand a lot of truths in the world."

"you!"

The guards around Zheng Tu were furious, and they pressed down on the handle of the knife at his waist.

Zheng Tu Bafeng waved his hand indifferently and said: "Don't be rude to Mr. Lei, the king has orders from heaven, and Mr. Lei Xian is his guest."

The guard put the knife back bitterly, the old man sneered and walked away.

"General, these people in Thunder Mart are really annoying. They are almost riding on top of you because of their great achievements in Xuanchuan Pass."

The guard complained, but Zheng Tu didn't raise his eyes, and said flatly: "Isn't that good? Make him feel that I'm not a threat, and then who do they want to deal with?"

At this moment, the faces of all the guards changed at the same time, and then they smiled gloatingly.

The most powerful under the command of the Heavenly Grant King is of course the Holy Lotus Altar!

"It's still the general who sees it clearly. These days, the people in the martyrdom are dangling around like flies, buzzing and saying some annoying words, but they can't drive them away. Besides, Xuanchuan Pass is not considered to be captured by them. ,most……"

"Okay, did you just say that casually?" Zheng Tu yelled coldly, "I picked you to be my personal guards because I thought you had some brains, not fools and starving ghosts, you are all worthless in front of me. Rules, where is the king given by heaven? Don't cause trouble for me!"

The guards didn't dare to refute, they just buried their heads in aggrieved promise.

Then Zheng Tu picked up the binoculars again, and said while looking at it: "No matter how annoying these flies are, Thunderbolt Hall has brought us good things. This binoculars is much better than those old broken things."

The guard hesitated to speak, isn't this nonsense?At the worst time a few years ago, they could only eat weeds and drink rice soup up and down. Later, life gradually improved, and the temper of Tianshouwang seemed to be much better, but after listening to the bewitching of the holy lotus altar, they really believed Since Ziwei Xingjun was born, he wore a mask all day long and was busy burning incense and offering sacrifices to heaven, so he didn't pay much attention to his old subordinates.

But if there is no sacred lotus altar, there is no way to gather the [-] troops, and the foolish people will lie to each other, and no one will fight?

Thunderbolt Hall... Just bear with it for a while, and wait until the general's people steal their gunpowder formula, are you afraid that they will continue to make trouble?

"General, it's getting late, you can't see clearly outside, why don't you rest earlier." Privately, the guard felt that Zheng Tu loved this telescope very much, and he always played with it in his hand. It was so dark outside that there was a moon even tonight None, what's there to see?

"Nothing, I'll just take a look."

Zheng Tu put down the binoculars. When he passed by a forest in the highland just now, he inexplicably felt that there was a tree that looked weird.

This is an old forest in the deep mountains in the south of the Yangtze River, not in Yizhou. The trees are generally lower and seldom have strange shapes.

Zheng Tu took a closer look and confirmed that there was no outline of a person in the black shadow, so he passed the binoculars.It's not that Zheng Tu is careless. In fact, he doesn't look at many locations. Usually, they are located in high places where you can see the situation of the camp.

It is now confirmed that there is no abnormality, and Zheng Tu has not investigated the details.

After all, the weirdness is likely to be the double image of two trees that are too close together, and the result looks like a tree from a distance.

"Don't worry, general. Those Jianghu people were scared out of their wits. After a dozen dead last time were ordered to be dismembered and discarded by the Heavenly Grant King, they are much more stable these days."

"...We are already close to the heart of Jingzhou, the more so, the more we can't be careless."

Holding the binoculars, Zheng Tu suddenly said in a low voice, "Don't get close to the king's tent these few days, and don't push yourself when you encounter disturbances. You are not allowed to act without my order."

"General?"

"It's not that there are no real martial arts masters in the world. No matter how powerful Master Luo and the others are, they will always hit their heads." Zheng Tu seemed to be laughing when he said this, and he regained his composure in no time. A master, didn’t he die in Taijing? Come on, how wise the king of heaven is, we will arrive in Nanping County in a few days, and the burden that should be shaken off will be thrown away. Those rebels will burn, kill and loot in Jingzhou. Bring us some food, and those who don’t come back will save the army food. When the dignitaries of Jingzhou react, we have already blasted the city gate, and the soldiers are so fast that we can’t delay for a moment, let’s all rest.”

After speaking, he went to the camp. Zheng Tu's martial arts were extremely high, and he often used meditation instead of sleep.

After a night passed, Zheng Tu got up early, put on his armor after washing, and waited for the guards to bring him food, then picked up the binoculars and looked around again.

"Ok?"

Zheng Tu stared at the forest.

Gone, that strange looking tree? !

Zheng Tu was very sure of its location, but when he saw it during the day, his appearance completely changed.

Ordinary people would think it was because the shadows of the trees looked like ghosts at night, but Zheng Tu was not that stupid.

"Come on, go to the king's tent..."

Zheng Tu hadn't finished speaking when he saw a person striding towards him.

He was followed by a dozen or so slim women, all dressed in white and covered with veils.

"Lord Luo?"

Zheng Tu's face was livid, and the people who came walked straight into Zheng Tu's camp without stopping.

Those women stood outside in unison, and soldiers passing by kowtowed and prayed to them.

"General, this..."

"It's okay, you guys are guarding outside." Zheng Tu said casually.

Lord Luo of the Holy Lotus Altar sat in the tent. He didn't look like that kind of fairy-tale swindler, but rather like an ordinary gangster, with a full beard, and the posture with his eyes above the top just now made Zheng Tu's personal guard was very angry.

However, at this moment, Master Luo was like a face-changing juggler, with no arrogance at all. Seeing Zheng Tu coming in alone, he immediately went up to him and said, "Something happened to Wang Zhang."

Zheng Tu's pupils contracted, and he thought of the strange tree, his expression distorted for a moment.

Master Luo's expression was also extremely ugly.

"What an assassin, how many people died?" Zheng Tu asked suddenly.

"He... only killed one person, the rest was acupuncture points, and he was still in a coma, and now my subordinates are guarding over there." Hierarch Luo couldn't hold back his anger, thumped the table, and said angrily, "This puppet is the most obedient and obedient. It's not that there is no spare, but at such a critical time, if the assassin comes again, won't our secret be exposed?"

Zheng Tu glanced at him and sarcastically said: "What secret? A secret that everyone knows well? Except for my personal guards and your saintess who don't know about the front decorations, other people have guessed it too, and they don't know how to appreciate it." Aren’t all the people dead? The only troublesome thing is the new Thunder Hall, just get rid of them as soon as possible.”

Master Luo Yuemo felt aggrieved and couldn't help but sneer: "It's not me who has a good reputation in the world, isn't it General Zheng? If this is to be spread, the Heavenly Grant King is dead long ago. This is just a puppet show. It is General Zheng's idea to attack the Central Plains, if General Zheng is going to rule the world in the future, what do people in the world think?"

"Shut up." Zheng Tu was not polite.

Leader Luo's expression changed drastically. He sat down again after holding back, and said dryly, "Forgive me, General Zheng. I was in a hurry. The army will leave the camp in an hour. I can't wait now. The killer will definitely show off his achievements." Wang was assassinated' What should we do about this matter?"
