But although he didn't hit the arrow, his heart tightened. They were in the open and the opponent was in the dark. For a moment, he was made to flee in embarrassment. The target on horseback was obviously too big. After all, he was experienced. They turned over and dismounted one by one to cover themselves.

behind the trees.

The Marquis of Zhenbei was hit by an arrow, but fortunately it missed the vital point. However, two people were not so lucky. One was shot through the chest by an arrow, and the other was shot in the neck by an arrow. The two died in a short time after falling off their horses.

Got the breath!

Meng Tianqi gritted his teeth. His Majesty ordered him to protect Zhenbei Marquis from entering the capital. The original purpose was to prevent Zhenbei Marquis from making random moves, but who else was secretly ambushing him along the way? Could it be someone from the previous dynasty?

Thinking of this, his eyes were about to burst, and he looked into the dense forest again. The arrows had stopped, but there was no movement inside. His heart tightened, and he secretly thought that if he couldn't go in to see what was going on, what would Chen Tianxiao do?

Think more.

"Come here, come with me to see what's going on and see who dares to plot against us. You stay here and let the Marquis treat his wounds."

Meng Tianqi immediately stood up and led the team towards the depths of the jungle. They were extremely cautious, holding the scimitar across their chests and twitching their ears. Suddenly hearing the sound of wind, he jumped up to avoid it and waved the scimitar to kill Ji Chi.

Cut off the incoming arrows with one stroke!

When the arrow split into two and hit the ground, a low whistle sounded in the woods, and the whistle lasted for a long time. When Meng Tianqi led his team to the place where the sound came from, the branches and leaves of the shrubs there were still swinging, but the scene was empty.

Without anyone, the personnel would have fled long ago!

Meng Tianqi's heart was numb, and he looked around for the traces left by this group of people. Except for half a footprint left in the wet place, there was no trace. He couldn't help but blush. Chen Tianxiao lost two of his men, and he himself

I was injured again, and I can’t explain it clearly.

"Search everywhere to see if we can find any clues." Meng Tianqi moved his arms. Just now he had used all his strength to cut off the arrow. Now that everyone in the Feilong Army is fine, he should be happy.

, but how can it be so?

The one who was injured was the Zhenbei Marquis, and the one who died was the Zhenbei Army. All members of his Feilong Army were fine, but this was not good!

After a search, my subordinates came to report one by one and found nothing unusual!

That group of people came very stealthily, retreated even more quickly, and their archery skills were superb. Otherwise, Chen Tianxiao would not have been able to fall victim to the attack. Who exactly set them up!

Without thinking too much, Meng Tianqi put away his scimitar and said: "Withdraw!"

On the other side, Chen Tianxiao's injury had been bandaged. Du Zeben had some medical skills and could handle this kind of trauma. However, Jiang Ming's face was gloomy, and his brows were furrowed as he looked at the two dead subordinates.

"Master Marquis, if Commander Meng comes back empty-handed later, this matter will never end well!" Jiang Mingming said in a panic: "We have been traveling without incident for a few days. Why did we get plotted and damaged after meeting him?

They are all our people!”

This made them think too much. Although the Feilong Army was well-trained, how could their Zhenbei Army be a vegetarian? They had fought with the Northern Desert Army so many times with real swords and guns, how could they be so easily tricked? The other side was just occupying the area.

The convenience of a "sneak attack".

If you don't know in advance that they will pass by here, how can you familiarize yourself with the terrain here in advance and lay an ambush in advance?!

After all, Chen Tianxiao is a man who has been on the battlefield for a long time. It can be seen that the arrow was aimed at him, and it was aimed at his vitals. It clearly wanted to kill him. If he had not avoided it in time, his life would have been lost.

Let someone take it away.

Jiang Ming's words were just adding fuel to the fire, so when Meng Tianqi led his team back, he saw the calm-looking Marquis of Zhenbei!

"Is the Marquis's injury serious?" Meng Tianqi cursed secretly and said bravely: "We are going to track down the killer. The other party must have ambushed beforehand and is very familiar with the terrain of this place. Evacuation in an instant will not work.

"

"It should be like this." Chen Tianxiao looked at the injured left arm and snorted coldly: "Fortunately, only the left arm was injured."

Why should this be the case? Meng Tianqi's eyelids twitched and he said: "I have received your majesty's order to protect the marquis into the capital. If I don't protect you properly, I will be derelict in my duty. I will apologize to your majesty when I enter the capital! What should I do then?

This commander has accepted the punishment."

Unfortunately, these words did not satisfy Chen Tianxiao. This person was a close associate of the emperor. How could he be punished? What if this was their fault?

If he succeeds today and there is no one left to suppress the Northern Marquis, what will happen to the Zhenbei Army?

There was a trace of hatred in Chen Tianxiao's eyes. The pain of losing his son had not yet passed. If they dared to attack him, they would be seeking death!

He had already told him when he left Beiguan that if the emperor planned to attack him regardless of the safety of Beiguan, the Zhenbei Army would fight back to the capital, and whoever had the ability to ascend to that position would sit down. Anyway, he was dead.

, but also to make it difficult for the emperor to sit on the throne!

"Commander Meng's words are serious. From my perspective, the one who least wants anything to happen to me now is probably the commander." Chen Tianxiao stood up. The two of them were about the same height, and their auras were somewhat threatening. When they faced each other head-on, the two of them invariably increased their auras.

, not to be outdone.

"Exactly, if Mr. Hou can hold it back, we might as well continue on our way. Today's events will only come soon, and we will not spare those people who took the opportunity to cause trouble." Chen Tianxiao suspected that the Feilong Army plotted against him, and he also suspected that Chen Tianxiao directed and acted on his own!

Meng Tianqi picked up the arrow on the ground and frowned. The arrow looked normal, just an ordinary two-winged arrow.

There is a ridge in the middle of the two-winged arrows and two wings at the back. Although the arrow can be taken out after breaking into the skin, the skin and flesh must be pulled off when pulling out. Therefore, in ancient times without antibiotics, it was easy to bury the root of trouble. It is often said that there are arrows with causes.

Death due to recurrence of injury.

This arrow is a new arrow. It looks like it has been just forged. There is no mark on it. Also, if you dare to carry out this assassination, you will definitely not use an officially forged arrow. If you look closely, Meng Tianqi’s face is even more disgusting.

Looks good.

The polishing level of this arrow is better than that produced by the Ministry of War. How could there be such a good craftsman? Could it be possible? Meng Tianqi's eyes shifted to Chen Tianxiao's face. The Zhenbei Army secretly casts the weapon?

For some reason, the suspicion that Chen Tianxiao directed and acted himself became stronger in his mind!

The two looked at each other in disbelief, and both saw a look of distrust in each other's eyes. Chen Tianxiao's face darkened with anger, and finally turned around and said: "Take their corpses and bring them into the capital together!"

The muscles on Meng Tianqi's face twitched, but he did not stop him in the end. If this matter was placed on the Feilong Army, he would not let his brother die in the wilderness! But this assassination was obviously deliberately framed. If it hadn't been for Chen Tianxiao himself

Directed and acted, who else!

Leaving a mess and blood on the ground, the two teams continued to move forward in silence. The injured Chen Tianxiao did not slow down a little, but instead rode faster. The frightened horse just now was also recovered, and the two corpses were carried on the horse's back.
Chapter completed!
