Chapter 3 Suspicion in the dream and outside the dream(1/2)
The three assassins did not succeed, so of course they would not leave easily.
In a hurry, they didn't know if there was an ambush behind Yingzi's mouth, so they didn't dare to chase Wang Bing. They immediately placed the longbow in front of them and drove the horse slowly towards the cliff.
No matter whether they had seen their face clearly, Xu Huai still tore off a piece of cloth shirt to cover his face, but just as he reached behind his head to tie the cloth shirt,
A sharp arrow shot towards him with a "swoosh".
Xu Huai subconsciously moved a few inches from his neck, and felt a strong wind wiping his face. Then he heard a "silent" feather arrow hit the pine tree behind him, and the arrow shaft was still
The "buzz" vibrates and trembles.
"What a quick arrow!"
Xu Huai was scared and sweated.
He has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, but before his mind recovered, he was a little clumsy in everything he did. Except for his extraordinary strength, he could not master complex fist movements.
The ability to ride and shoot is also very average.
Even though his deep unfamiliar memories cannot immediately improve his skills after his mind has recovered, he is not only
In addition to his sharper and more transparent thinking, his eyesight is also different.
He quickly tore off a cloth shirt and covered his face, and his eyes were still staring at these assassins. Even if he was distracted, the time was very short.
Seize the opportunity and shoot an arrow.
With such amazing rapid shooting and accuracy, I am afraid that Uncle Seventeen is inferior to him.
Xu Huai didn't dare to slack off any longer and held the hatchet behind his waist.
He did not immediately pull out the hatchet behind him, which would make him show his fear in front of this group of assassins too early.
Xu Huai then raised his foot and kicked a rock the size of a washbasin, making a "rattle" sound, rolling down against the cliff.
Apart from the gap more than meter wide in the middle, the eagle beak has a steep ridge on the south side, making it difficult to climb over on foot, let alone riding a horse; and not far from the north, it is close.
The canyon thirty feet deep, and the Huai River passes through it.
Xu Huai kicked off the rock to warn the assassin not to try to break through the gap.
No matter how powerful these assassins are, as long as they are hit by a rock the size of a basin from a height, no one will feel comfortable.
The three assassins stopped sixty or seventy steps in front of the cliff. The leader stared at the cliff and asked with a gloomy face:
"Who is your elder brother? Since we expected that we would attack Wang Bing here, we wouldn't know who we sent?"
"Your intention to kill people has been discovered, and you still have the heart to ask questions. You are so brave. You are really not afraid that the military soldiers from the village will come to capture you if you have a letter.
"Xu Huai shouted in a rough voice.
"In broad daylight, what did we do evil things? The officers of the inspectors of the military camp came to arrest us? Just by the king's words, he said
"The leader laughed unscrupulously and said, "Wang Bing was convicted and demoted. Don't say that he is still fine now, even if he is really in Tongbai Mountain
Wherever my body and head are different, which prefecture and county government office dares to investigate this case in depth?”
Seeing that the assassin was so unscrupulous, Xu Huai was secretly shocked.
The short passage that flashed in my mind a few days ago said that Wang Bing died in Yingzi's mouth in Tongbai Mountain, but at this moment, all this may not be a sting.
The deeper reason was that the people behind the scenes were too powerful, which made the prefecture and county governments dare not investigate, and finally closed the case by encountering bandits?
To be honest, Xu Huai didn't know how Wang Bing was alone, but he knew that the position of the Censor General Wang Bing was appointed before he was demoted should not be ignored, and he was the only one in the court.
There are few senior officials who can be respected as "Xiang Gong", and ordinary officials are only qualified to be called "Lang Jun".
The "Prime Minister" was demoted, and even if he had no title, he could never be regarded as a civilian. He died suddenly in Tongbai Mountain, but the prefectures and county governments did not dare to investigate the cause of death.
Who is the sacred person behind?
Xu Huai suddenly felt that it would be of no benefit to him to figure out who the mastermind was, and he just hoped that the matter in front of him could be fooled.
Xu Huai didn't say anything, stepped on the rock with one foot, and held the hilt of the knife on his waist tightly with his right hand, as if he was still disdainful of rushing to pull out the sword, but in fact he was very much for the assassin.
Strong sense of oppression.
The three assassins, all with beards, were glued to their bodies randomly. The leader had a scar on his left cheek, which was quite obvious, and the distance was quite far apart. The man narrowed his eyes three times.
The corner eyes stared at the cliff like an eagle, not knowing what he was thinking.
"I'll touch it from the back?" said the slimming assassin on the right.
"Do you see his posture of holding the knife? Are you a little familiar?" The scar-faced assassin looked gloomy and asked the other two.
"Yes, it's a bit like the sword-holding force that Jing Shengjun told him. He was distracted just now, but he could still avoid the arrow of Master Jin in a sudden state, but his skills were not good.
Weak, so tall and strong..." The thin-faced assassin thought with some retreatment.
"More than 20 years ago, Wang Xiaocheng was the governor of Tangzhou. He vigorously cleared out the bandits and bandits in Tongbai Mountain. Later, he was transferred to the commander of the Jingsheng Army and incorporated many bandits into the Jingsheng Army;
After Wang Xiaocheng's death, some old soldiers of the Jingsheng Army were disbanded and returned home. It is not surprising that there are remnants of the Jingsheng Army in Tongbai Mountain. However, they are also remnants of the Jingsheng Army.
Lu Xiong, Qianli chose this path to escort Wang Bing to Biyang. Things may be more complicated than we imagined—” The scar-faced assassin frowned and pondered.
"Can Lu Xiong join forces with the remnants of Jingsheng Army to protect Wang Bing, intending to overturn the case for the old incident?" Another person learned about the old love that year and took a breath and asked.
road.
"Whether it is yes or not, this matter is extraordinary. Someone must go back to Bianjing to tell the Prime Minister..." said the Scarface Assassin.
At this time, there was a sound of horse hooves as sudden as rain in the west, galloping towards this side. The three assassins' faces changed drastically. After a while, they finally turned their heads.
Run east...

Xu Huai didn't know the old story of Jingsheng's army. When he saw Lu Xiong and several military soldiers rushed to Yingzi's mouth, he thought the assassin was scared away by them.
The man who rushed over was about 30 years old, wearing brown leather armor, strong body, thick eyebrows and leopard eyes, rough appearance, holding a shoulder knife in his hand,
He pulled the stubborn rope and stopped under the cliff. He looked up and saw Xu Huaihao standing at the cliff. He asked:
"Xu Huai, aren't you hurt by those horse thieves?"
"No - they ran east!" Xu Huai was really relieved at this time, greeted Uncle Seventeen Xu Wujiang, carefully found a place to settle down, and
Slide down the cliff.
"These dog thieves dare to run to Huaiyuan to play wild. Let's catch them and peel them!" A young soldier with a velvet beard with his upper lips is only older than Xu Huai.
One or two years older, he could still see the figures of those "horse thieves" at this time, shouting and cursing, and wanted to slap the horse with a knife and chase it.
Xu Wujiang reached out to stop the impulsive young soldier and said:
"Don't chase the enemy, and it's almost dark this day. Today, these horse thieves are lucky and don't bother with them."
Although the sky is a little cloudy, it was just after noon and it was almost dark, which was really a lie that even blind people would dare not say.
However, in Xu Wujiang's opinion, as long as Xu Huai others are fine.
How much money do they get in the military camp for a month? Is it necessary to find these horse thieves who are licking blood on the edge of the knife all day long?
Lu Xiong did not make a sound. He had experienced half of his life and knew what the brave men in Xiazhou were like now.
Shortly after they escaped from Yingzizhu, they met this group of martial soldiers. They hurriedly said that they encountered horse bandits on the way and asked them to come and rescue the villagers trapped on Yingzizhu cliff.
Thank God, can he expect more when this group of martial soldiers rushed over to scare the assassin away?
What he didn't expect was that the leader of this military military soldiers actually knew the young man from the Yatou.
When Xu Huai carefully climbed down from Eagle's mouth, Lu Xiong was even more surprised when he saw the boy who was only fifteen or sixteen years old.
Except for being quite strong and half a head taller than most normal-height soldiers, they are completely a rural boy, even climbing down from a cliff.
The movements are a little stiff and not flexible enough.
A worn short shirt, with a few scratches between the collar and sleeves being cut by branches and rocks; a straw rope tied around her waist, and it turned out that a hatchet was stuck behind her waist, and there were spots of rust
trace!
He and Wang Binggong were saved by such a young man today?
Lu Xiong didn't know their identity when the martial arts leader looked at him. So who was the "big brother" he just mentioned? How could he know that they would pass through Yingzi's mouth.
After all, arrange for this young man to wait here?
Of course, if the assassin is exposed, it will not be beneficial except to stimulate Cai Ying, the thief who is cruel to send people to persecute him.
Lu Xiong was puzzled and just shut up and asked no more questions, but he looked at the boy with gratitude.
He is very good at it, but Wang Bing's grandparents and her wet nurse are unarmed.
He knew that in this mountain road without circumcision space, without this young man holding the assassin, even if he had the ambition to sacrifice himself for righteousness, he would not be able to protect Wang Bing's grandson Zhou.
Complete.

Listening to Xu Wujiang, Xu Xin'an rushed over to treat those people as "horse thieves". Xu Huai knew that Wang Bing and his friends met Xu Wujiang, but Xu Xin'an and others did not tell the truth.
