Jiang Suizhou didn't expect that Huo Wujiu took him directly to the city wall.

It was getting dark, and a fire was lit in the soldiers' tents under the city wall, but it was pitch black above the city wall, and nothing could be seen.Huo Wujiu skillfully found a blind corner of the guards, and led Jiang Suizhou to step on the wall and jump up.

The city wall of Lin'an is very high, separating the inside and outside of the city into two worlds.

Inside the city is a bustling city full of lights, while outside the city, there are bright tents scattered all over the place.

Huo Wujiu took Jiang Suizhou and sat down on the edge of the city wall.

Jiang Suizhou lowered his head, and he could see the excitement.

This bustle is different from that in the city.What illuminated the tent was the fire on the ground, steaming hot.The voices of the soldiers around the fire were not small, chatting and laughing loudly, as if they were boiled by the flames.

They sat on the ground, the wine jars and food were placed on the ground like this, the aroma of wine and meat rose together with the rising heat.

Jiang Suizhou's eyes were a little straight for a moment.

"It was very lively," he said. "Are they like this every day?"

"Because we have to set off tomorrow, so today will be like this." Huo Wujiu said from the side. "It's a rule in the military."

He seemed to be sitting on the city wall all the time, and it was clear that there was more than ten feet of air hanging under his feet, but his legs were dangling leisurely, and the other leg was even lifted up and stepped on the edge of the city wall.

On the contrary, Jiang Suizhou was rather nervous, being supported by Huo Wujiu to sit down, he didn't dare to move anymore.

"After that, it's been hard work for days." Jiang Suizhou said, looking at Huo Wujiu. "Are you with them tomorrow?"

Huo Wujiu put his arms on his knees, looked sideways at Jiang Suizhou: "Lou Yue has sent two sets of military uniforms, and Wei Kai and I will sneak in tomorrow."

"Then won't they find out?" Jiang Suizhou asked.

"The leader is Ji Hongcheng." Huo Wujiu said. "Reliable, don't worry."

Jiang Suizhou nodded.

Then I heard Huo Wujiu say: "It's you. Although I will go back and forth faster, Lou Yue is also in the city, but you have to be careful, don't let Pang Shao find out."

Jiang Suizhou responded: "Okay."

Huo Wujiu said again: "There are still some people in my city, and they will protect you from now on. Tomorrow I have a subordinate who will enter the mansion, you don't have to worry about him, he knows what to do."

Jiang Suizhou nodded.

"So..." He looked at Huo Wujiu. "Is there really no danger?"

Huo Wujiu looked down at him.He dared not tell the truth.

He didn't know how many soldiers the opponent would bring, what kind of thoughts they would have, and what kind of generals they would send.

He can't be sure of these, and he can't even say what chance of winning.The only thing he was sure of was that no matter what, he would not let Jiang Suizhou be in danger alone for too long.

He raised his hand to touch Jiang Suizhou's hair, but he stopped halfway.

He said firmly: "As long as you don't have an accident, you are safe, don't worry."

Jiang Suizhou looked at him.

If he was still the same as he was a few months ago, he would never be the slightest bit worried.Who is Huo Wujiu?The Great Liang God of War has always been invincible.Even if he stumbles once, there will never be a second time. In front of him, there is nothing wrong with it.

but now……

Huo Wujiu is not the general who was endowed with godhead in the history books.

He is his sweetheart.

After a long time, Jiang Suizhou slowly opened his mouth.

"Then you must do what you say," he said. "You can't lie to me."

-

Early the next morning, the troops outside the city set out.

Huo Wujiu's whereabouts are quite secretive, and his movements are also very fast.When Jiang Suizhou got up early in the morning and rushed to his room, he was no longer in the wheelchair.

It was a young man who was about the same height as him. Seeing him coming in, the man looked him up and down, stood up conveniently, and said to Jiang Suizhou, "This is His Royal Highness Prince Jing, right? Your subordinate Nie Yao , I am specially ordered by the general to protect the prince."

Jiang Suizhou froze for a moment, then recovered his voice and said, "...he has already left?"

Nie Yao said: "One hour ago, my subordinate sent the general out of the city."

Jiang Suizhou lowered his eyes, and whispered after a while: "It's so early..."

Nie Yao nodded: "Yes. The general specifically ordered not to disturb your rest."

Jiang Suizhou smiled at him, for some reason, the corners of his mouth were a little heavy, and the smile was a little forced: "I see. You just stay here at ease. I have already told Meng Qianshan that you don't have to worry about food and clothing. If there is anything else , I will definitely come to you."

Nie Yao clapped his hands and said yes, and Jiang Suizhou turned around and left.

The door of the room was closed, and the morning wind in early June was blowing on his body, which was obviously soft, but Jiang Suizhou felt a little cold.

He turned around and looked at the closed door.

He didn't realize that this was the first day that Huo Wujiu wasn't by his side since he crossed over.

It's so unaccustomed to people, and it even feels like the whole world is empty.

He turned around and returned to the main house as if nothing had happened.

Huo Wujiu arranged extremely well for him.

Although Lou Yue was still as domineering as before in the court hall, he was secretly cooperating with him, acting like a strong outsider who had been pushed aside by Pang Shao step by step, even though he looked tough, and sometimes acted incompetent and furious.

Having Lou Yue divert Pang Shao's attention made it much easier for Jiang Suizhou to do things.He sent people to closely monitor Pang Shao's every move, and always checked him for any abnormalities.

Sure enough, Pang Shao is very busy these days.In addition to taking care of Lou Yue, he also had to be busy with a lot of things from outside the city. He exchanged news every day, but he couldn't take care of Jiang Suizhou.

Jiang Suizhou knew that it must be about Lingnan.

Among the many news about Pang Shao, he also detected one or two.

The locust plague in the south of the Five Ridges has been growing, but the wind has been suppressed.Pang Wei has already arrived in Lingnan, and he only needs to find an opportunity to incite the people before he can raise his troops.

This is enough to show that Fang Zhaohe is really not sober.

From just a few sporadic news, Jiang Suizhou could see that Pang Shao didn't want Fang Zhaohe to live at all.Plague of locusts, corruption of ink, concealment and non-reporting, all these crimes stacked up will definitely kill Fang Zhaohe.At that time, the Lingnan army will rise up, endangering Lin'an, and when the queen master dies and Pang Shao pretends to "suppress" the rebellion, he will definitely call for punishment and ask for Fang Zhaohe's head, so that he can take the blame.

But at this moment, Fang Zhaohe only cared about doing things for Pang Shao.

Jiang Suizhou closely observed Pang Shao's every move, but in just seven or eight days, Lou Wanjun had sneaked to his house several times, and he was not looking for him for anything, just talking to him.

After coming down several times, Jiang Suizhou finally couldn't help asking his doubts.

It happened to be a night.He was sorting out the news under the lamp, while Lou Wanjun sat on a chair not far away, drinking tea and eating snacks bored.

"Who asked you to come these few times?" Jiang Suizhou asked.

Lou Wanjun paused, and said with a smile: "I want to come. I have nothing to do at home, but you have fun here."

Jiang Suizhou couldn't help laughing.

"What am I doing here?" he said. "Tell me, is it Huo Wujiu?"

Lou Wanjun kept her mouth shut, thought for a while, and finally admitted.

"How do you know?" she asked.

Jiang Suizhou smiled: "It's just a feeling, I didn't expect to guess right-what did he ask you to do?" Lou Wanjun leaned back on the chair.

"I'm worried about you," she said. "I don't know what this lady has to worry about, but he said harsh words to my father, and my father didn't dare to disobey, so he had to send me, an idler, to visit your house every day. But there is no danger, so I can protect you."

Jiang Suizhou felt that this method was very stupid.

After a while, he smiled helplessly.

"Really..."

Lou Wanjun looked at him with bright eyes.

"Did you see something too?" she asked.

Jiang Suizhou was taken aback: "What?"

Lou Wanjun said: "Huo Wujiu!"

Jiang Suizhou looked puzzled: "What happened to Huo Wujiu?"

Lou Wanjun groaned, stared at him for a while, and said to herself, "No, since you are a broken sleeve, can't you see this?"

Jiang Suizhou's heart skipped a beat: "What?"

There was a hint of unbelievable expectation in his eyes.

Lou Wanjun could tell at a glance.

She smiled.

"Nothing," she said. "You wait for him to come back and let him tell you by himself."

-

At this time, a dark shadow was vaguely reflected on the surface of the Yangtze River.

From the north to the south of the river, several boats slowly crossed the wide river like giant beasts lurking in the night.There are no lights on the boat, and only when you get very close can you vaguely see the huge shadows of the black buildings.

One by one the ships docked.

A lot of soldiers came down from the ship silently, wearing thick black armor, with only occasional gleams of cold light in the night.Gradually, the soldiers were displayed on the bank of the river, and the number of them was tens of thousands.

And so many people were not noticed at all.

The general leading the army naturally knew what was going on.

Li Sheng sat on the horse and looked south quietly.

He knew that Wei Kai had sent him a letter earlier, saying that the guard here had been bribed by Lou Yue and would not appear here today.Therefore, at this moment on this river bank, there are only soldiers in his hands.

Besides, there was another person he was ordered to kill.

The more than 1 horses behind him are just the bait to lure the king into the urn.Naturally, these soldiers didn't know anything, and they all thought they were here to avenge General Huo.

And only he and the dozens of elites who had already lurked around knew that tonight, they were here to kill General Huo and save His Royal Highness from future troubles forever.

He waited quietly.

At this moment, a sound came from a forest in the distance.

"Li Sheng?"

It was Huo Wujiu's voice that came from afar.

For a moment, the densely packed soldiers behind him were a little excited, and made muffled sounds.Li Sheng glanced back coldly, and saw dozens of soldiers around him, all waiting there, ready to go.

He smiled coldly.

With Huo Wujiu's prestige, he would be trampled into blood by a horse's hoof today.And the soldiers behind him could only dare to be angry and dare not speak out, after all, the one standing behind him was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Li Sheng withdrew his gaze and raised his voice, "General, you are the last general!"

As he spoke, he waved his hand slightly to signal the surrounding soldiers to get ready.

His voice fell, and after a while, there was a slight sound in the forest.

A tall man rode a horse, galloped out of the forest, and came head-on in Li Sheng's direction.

Li Sheng raised his hand.

The next moment, dozens of arrows pierced the air like falcons, suddenly tore through the silence of the night, and rushed towards the phantom.

The man on the horse couldn't dodge in time, he was hit by several arrows suddenly, and fell heavily to the ground along with the horse neighing from the arrows.

Li Sheng's eyes lit up.

It became.

The soldiers in formation were all dumbfounded and froze in place for a moment.The dozens of soldiers around Li Sheng firmly protected Li Sheng in the middle.

Li Sheng raised the scroll in his hand.

"This general is ordered by the emperor to kill the rebels!" he said. "Huo Wujiu, the traitor general, has already taken refuge in Nanjing! If you don't kill him, he will become my future trouble!"

The scroll glowed with a faint golden light in the night.

The surrounding soldiers were struck by lightning, and no one knew what happened tonight.But the imperial decree was held in Li Sheng's hands, even though they didn't know whether it was true or not, they still didn't believe that Li Sheng really dared to spread the imperial decree and killed Huo Wujiu so grandly.

For a moment, the soldiers in the formation didn't move at all, only one man and one horse fell on the empty wasteland in vain.

Seeing this, Li Sheng put away the scroll with satisfaction, and under the escort of the elite around him, he rode his horse and walked towards the corpse.

As long as it is confirmed that Huo Wujiu is dead, his mission will be completed.

After tonight, His Royal Highness will no longer have to worry about sleeping and eating because Huo Wujiu is still alive, and will no longer be coerced by Huo Wujiu because Huo Wujiu is in Pang Shao's hands.

Everything will fall to the ground.

He couldn't help showing the joy that the big event was about to happen, until he came closer, and the soldiers beside him lit the torch, wanting to see Huo Wujiu's death.

Torches illuminated the corpse.

There was only one dead horse on the ground.

On the horse's back was a straw man.

The next moment, the sharp arrow pierced through the air and pierced Li Sheng's throat.The sword was so steady and powerful that it pierced through the bone of his neck.

Immediately, blood splattered everywhere, his eyes widened, and he didn't even have time to take back the smile at the corner of his mouth.

In the flash of silver light, he saw Huo Wujiu standing on the edge of the forest and riding a horse with a cold expression.

The bow in his hand was still being drawn.

The author has something to say: Huo Wujiu: It's very annoying, my strength does not allow me to be the protagonist of abusive novels ;D
