Chapter 118 Assassination scene

The little city lord walked to the back house. When he was young, he heard an exclamation, and then a cry. The noise lasted for a long time before it calmed down. During this period, Lord Xinling, Zhang Yue and Xia Hou were talking calmly.

They were crying, and it was impossible to hear what they were saying. Then, Mr. Xiahou led the little city lord who looked grateful and left the city lord's mansion.

At the request of Mr. Zhongyue, the pawn leader ordered one of his companions to march a hundred steps forward, disperse into a horizontal line, and search forward; the other companion formed a square formation and followed fifty steps behind the gentlemen. More than ten disciples followed Zhongyue's instructions.

At the request of Mr. Zhongyue, he spread out along the tracks of the three carriages to search for suspicious traces. Mr. Zhongyue himself walked and looked around. This is a wilderness, with no obvious commanding heights except for tall weeds of various colors.

.

Ten miles is not far away. Although the group of people walked and searched, it only took half an hour. At this time, the sun was near the sky, the weather was fine, and the visibility was excellent. Zhong Yue and his group were probably attacked as soon as they left the city gate.

Mang and others found out. On the way, Zhong Yue and his party met the second military envoy sent by Simang. He was immediately brought to Zhong Yue. Zhong Yue motioned to the envoy not to be polite and walked side by side with him, asking questions as he walked.

Said: "Honorary title?"

The military envoy didn't understand for a moment, and the doorman next to him said: "Sir, I asked you what your name is."

The military envoy said: "Er Huang, a dog with a low reputation."

Zhong Yue smiled and said: "How do you choose this name?"

Er Huang said: "When I was born, the yellow dog at home happened to run in front of my father. My father thought that my destiny was the yellow dog, so I named him Quan Er Huang."

Zhong Yue said: "There is another Erhei among the guards in Daliang. Can you recognize him?"

Erhuang said: "Erhei and I live in different villages, and we often met each other when we were children. After joining the Daliang Gate Guards, we followed him to different camps, and we often went together when we were not on duty."

Zhong Yue said: "Where in the countryside?"

Erhuang said: "Guangheli, Zuoyao Township. Thirty miles south of Daliang."

Zhong Yue said: "Thirty miles south of Daliang? Isn't it close to Kaifeng?"

Erhuang said: "It's right under the city of Qifeng, but it's only five miles away."

Zhong Yue said: "Have you ever entered Qifeng?"

Erhuang said: "You can see Qifeng when you climb a tall tree, but you haven't actually entered the city... Someone in the countryside has entered Qifeng."

Zhong Yue said: "The family is close to the seal but not allowed to enter, but they enter Daliang... This is really a trick of fate."

Erhuang said: "If Uncle Ying hadn't preached martial arts in the countryside, how could we, the savages, have entered Daliang!"

Zhong Yue said: "Uncle Ying lives in Daliang?"

Erhuang said: "Uncle Ying is a martial artist and now lives as a guard. Everyone in the countryside practices martial arts from him."

Zhong Yue said: "Uncle Ying lives as a gatekeeper now? Is he also a gatekeeper in Daliang?"

Erhuang said: "No, I only know that he is a gatekeeper. I don't know which gate it is. I haven't seen him since I entered Daliang."

Zhong Yue said: "Have you seen him in the countryside recently?"

Erhuang said: "Since I entered Daliang, I have owned dozens of acres of land in the west of the city, which is my home. It has been five years since I returned to my hometown."

Zhong Yue said: "Are your wife and children here?"

Erhuang said coquettishly: "You are not yet married...if you have a wife and children, they usually live in the old house."

Seeing that Erhuang was no longer restrained, Zhongyue asked, "Can you see all the young masters dying in the wild?"

Erhuang's complexion suddenly changed, his body trembled, and he said, "I see."

Zhong Yue said: "Have you been a soldier for five years?"

Er Huangdao: "Six years."

Zhong Yue said: "No blood?"

Erhuang said: "But butcher the pig's ears."

Zhong Yue said: "If you hear more, you will get it. Don't worry about it. How did the princes die?"

Erhuang said: "A trip wire tripped Sancheng, and the young master and others flew three feet away...all of them had their throats broken and died."

Zhong Yue said: "How do you know? There are chariots and horses here?"

Erhuang said: "Only one car fell over. Si Mang saw a trip rope on the spot, so he said it should be like this."

Zhong Yue said angrily: "You are so stupid! You tripped three vehicles with just one rope!"

Erhuang said: "Ying Simang also said so. He said that the young men's cars are too fast."

Zhong Yue said: "There are many murderous intentions. They still treat them as their own manor. Isn't this the way to die?"

While he was talking, a loud shout came from the front: "Who is it?"

The military envoy who led the way replied: "The general sends you!"

The man asked again: "Where is Erhuang?"

Erhuang quickly ran forward and shouted: "Erhuang is here!"

The man asked again: "Who is the chief executive?"

Zhong Yue hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Yue is so proud!"

Seeing Zhong Yue appear, a person stood up in the grass. It was Si Mang. He ran straight over and greeted Zhong Yue. Zhong Yue returned the salute and said: "Si Mang is a young man in front of everyone, and he is a real general. Now there is only one soldier.

It’s all controlled by Si Mang.”

Si Mang responded, and was about to dispatch a group of soldiers to search, warn, or stay behind to deal with them. It was very orderly. After Si Mang finished dispatching, Zhong Yue said: "Where are the people Si Mang brought?"

Si Mang said: "I led five people before me. Two of them returned to the city as military envoys. Now they are in the army. The remaining three are all secret sentries."

Zhong Yue said: "It's really extraordinary. I still don't know where these three people are now."

Si Mang said: "Wait for me to wake you up."

Zhong Yue said: "No need. This arrangement is very good. Please ask Si Mang to teach you what you have heard and seen."

Si Mang looked around and saw that the warning was in place, so he led Zhong Yue forward. As he walked, he pointed and said: "The assassin's trip was carefully planned. There is a pond on the right side and a gentle slope on the left. There is no obstruction for pedestrians and vehicles.

Walking is difficult. Therefore, the cars can only go side by side. The assassins hit a pile on the slope... here, set up a trip wire mechanism, and blocked it with stones. Three people came here, and they all tripped down. The horses were frightened.

, fled in all directions, and people flew out... Here, the trip wire was ten steps away. This young man had his neck broken, and he was probably dead on the spot; this young man was run over by a horse and a bicycle; ... all the young men had head injuries, or minor ones.

Or serious. Regardless of whether they were serious or alive, their throats were cut. When we passed by, these young men were lying like this, with their backs facing the sky. There was only one blow in the throat, and all the muscles and veins were destroyed."

Zhong Yue glanced at him and said: "None of the young masters show any signs of fighting. They will definitely be unconscious at this time. When the commander leaves the military camp, he must know what kind of weapon he used to cut his throat?"

Si Mang said: "Sir, you have a keen eye. The young masters have no struggle. The weapon used to cut throats... should be hand halberds."

Zhong Yue said: "Only a halberd? Not a sword?"

Si Mang looked through each corpse, gestured with his hands, and finally replied: "Nine times, the blade passed by without any piercing, so the weapon must not be a sword."

Zhong Yue asked again: "How many weapons does Si Kezhi have in total?"

Si Mang said: "The depth, width and intensity of the creation are different. It is definitely not the work of one person."

Zhong Yue turned around, looked around, and asked Si Mang, "Are there any sentries posted in this small town?"

Si Mang said: "This side is facing the Great Wall. There are only observation posts, but no detection posts."

Zhong Yue said: "Can the sentry watch see this place?"

When Si Mang heard this, he turned around and looked around, saying: "You can't see the small town from here, and you can't even see the small town from here: there's a gentle slope blocking it."

Zhong Yue walked up the hill, and sure enough, the small town was looming in sight. Si Mang also climbed up the hill, looked towards the small town, and suddenly said in surprise: "Is there someone leaving the city again?"
