Chapter 451 Tacit understanding

I don’t know when the snow had stopped, but the whistling north wind was getting tighter, making the knights feel even colder. Many people’s bodies were trembling slightly. The leader’s tragic death had a great blow to them. The previous courage and murderous intent had slowly dissipated with the continuous flowing blood.

Sun Tu had taken the opportunity to withdraw his gun and adjust his breathing. The sudden return shot during the galloping also consumed a lot of money. Coupled with the previous battle and the arrow he shot on his back that was unknown to the other party, he also felt unsustainable.

Just as he returned to his horse, Sun Tu was shot by a cavalry after all because of an accident. He stabbed him with all his might, which completely tore the wound. At this time, his back was stained with blood. But the knights standing in front of him did not know this. At this time, he was completely intimidated by his aura of killing the leader, and he did not dare to act rashly.

But Sun Tu also knew that dragging on like this would only be detrimental to him, so even if the back pain was unbearable, he had to kill another game. Only by completely defeating their fighting spirit can he escape unscathed!

With the idea set, Sun Tu waved the spear in his hand, clamped his legs and then urged the horse's belly to rush forward again - life and death are a success or failure!

Seeing Sun Tu coming again, and this time the strongest leader had been killed, the knights were no longer worried and did not even dare to take the initiative to greet him. Instead, they subconsciously rode their horses and retreated. Seeing their performance, Sun Tu felt even more at ease, gritted his teeth and endured the pain, and wanted to kill a few more people.

Just as the two sides were about to start a new round of battle, another fierce sound of hoof sounds sounded outside the stone archway on the other side of the long street. This time the sound of horse hoofs was as dense as a drum. Hundreds of people passed through the archway in succession, and some even shouted loudly: "Who is brave and arrogant? How dare you fight and kill people in Xingzhou City! By the order of Ning Order, you will take them all, but if you resist, you will be killed!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of a whizzing arrow breaking through the air sounded from there. It crossed more than a hundred steps and fell directly to both sides who were about to confront each other. Sun Tu and the cavalry stopped at that time. Both sides' faces changed, and then Sun Tu smiled and quickly returned the shot to defend himself. He shouted: "Sun Qianli, the subordinate of the Xifeng clan, was attacked. In order to protect himself, he had to fight with others..." Although he didn't know what kind of big man Ning Ling was, from the beginning there were hundreds of cavalry, it was inferred that the status of the visitor was not low, which was enough to make the guys in front of him dare not attack him anymore.

The faces of the knights on the opposite side became extremely ugly at this moment. In order to get rid of Sun Tu and the others, they had already arranged everything, so they fought for a while but did not disturb the army patrolling in the city. But they did not expect that Mogohe would appear here at this time. Not only did he not be able to kill Sun Qianli, but he and others were afraid that they would fall into the hands of others, and the consequences would be extremely serious!

As their minds turned, two knights suddenly had a trace of determination in their eyes, and did not respond to the cavalry that were constantly moving forward. They each shouted and urged their horses to kill Sun Tu again. Even at this time, they still wanted to complete the mission and kill Sun Tu.

Seeing this, Sun Tu didn't dare to relax, so he quickly picked up his gun to meet him. But at this moment, an arrow whirlwind sounded again behind his head, making Sun Tu subconsciously shrank his head and dodged to avoid it. However, the seventeen or eighteen arrows shot did not come to him. After crossing his head, they directly attacked the two knights who had already rushed over.

The two men had only had time to block three or four arrows, and were nailed into their bodies by seven or eight arrows shot later, screaming and falling off their horses. At the same time, the solemn voice behind them reappeared: "Dare to take action again, and be punished for the crime of ill-treatment!"

As soon as these words were said, the last bit of courage of the remaining people quickly dissipated, and they did not dare to have any abnormal movements. Sun Tu finally felt relieved until this time, but he felt that his back was completely wet, but he didn't know whether it was sweat, snow, or blood that was still oozing out...

In just a moment, more than 200 cavalry wearing iron armored clothes, carrying long iron spears and long swords hanging on their waists surrounded Sun Tu and the knights. Then, one of them shouted: "Why don't you get off the horse quickly when you get here!"

"Drop off the horse!" The two hundred cavalry raised their spears at almost the same time, and their evil spirits were amazing. Even Sun Tu's heart trembled. Then he threw the spear in his hand to the ground, turned over and dismounted. Then he turned around and looked back. He saw a tall and strong veteran behind, gray-bearded but rosy-faced veteran staring at him with scrutiny. Although he had never seen Mogohe, he immediately recognized that this person was the leader of the visitor, which was what they called Ning Ling!

Without much hesitation, Sun Tu had already taken two steps forward, then tickled one knee, stroked his chest with one hand and said, "Sun Qianli, the subordinate of Xifeng, has seen Ning Ling!"

Moshohe sat upright on the horse's back, looked down at him for a moment before speaking: "You were surrounded by dozens of people and were only slightly injured. It's true that you have some skills!" He seemed calm and casual when he said this, but in fact he was quite surprised.

You should know that with his power and status in the court, there is nothing in Xingzhou City that can be hidden from him. Today, twenty cavalry came here to attack Sun Tu, so he knew it long ago. The reason why he came so late was actually because he wanted to make things worse and harder to deal with. His original intention was to let Sun Tu be killed, and then he could take the opportunity to cause trouble, so that the Xifeng clan and the prince's party would confront each other head-on and go to an end.

But Sun Tu's performance was far beyond his expectations. Even though he was late for a while before he arrived, he was still alive and seemed to have suffered some minor injuries. However, the attackers who were the most powerful and weak were very casualties. The corpse on the ground was frowned a little even when Mogohe saw it.

However, he did not reveal any of these thoughts. He just narrowed his eyes and glanced at the knights who had been arrested and arrested, and asked Sun Tu again: "Do you know their origins, why did you attack you here?"

Sun Turu really wanted to gain a foothold in the officialdom of Xia Kingdom, for the sake of the safety of the Feng clan, of course, he could not follow the other party's words at this time, because in this way, the Feng clan would, at least, be dragged into the battles in the Western Xia Dynasty.

But he obviously had no concerns about this. Not to mention that someone found me, even if it was fine, he wanted to create some trouble so that the Xia Dynasty would fight endlessly. So when facing this problem, Sun Tu said loudly without hesitation: "I don't know their identities and origins, but I only know that they came to me, Xifeng, and robbed me here to rob me, to offer the emperor's gift!" As he said that, he took down the package on his back.

The arrow just now almost shot the package, but the outer skin was still torn apart, revealing the black sandalwood box inside, and even some blood even seeped into it. It was really shocking to take it out now.

"You're talking nonsense, we never thought of stealing your stuff..." The knights reacted a little until this time and quickly retorted. However, Mogohe didn't care about their words at all, so he just waved his hand, and someone came forward to press them down decisively and shouted, "Who is the one who is in front of Ning Ling?" Then he quickly took out a cloth strip to block their mouths, making it difficult for them to speak out again.

Seeing this, Sun Tu felt even more moved. He vaguely guessed that this person's appearance was not accidental. It should have been to target the people behind the scenes who wanted to attack him.

After hearing this answer, Mogokhe felt even more happy, and his eyes fell on the box, but he still asked, "Don't talk nonsense. Since it is such a precious thing, why did you show up here with it?"

"I went back to Ning Ling, because I came out of Chengtian Temple in front of me and just asked for this rare treasure from Master Jiesang. As soon as I left the temple, I was surrounded and killed, and then they arrived!" Sun Tu said, remembering something again, and continued to add: "The reason why I, Xifeng, came to the capital, thought about asking for treasures as a gift, was because of an incident when I entered the city the day before yesterday..." He also told the incident at the South Gate the day before yesterday without any hesitation.

Listening to Sun Tu's story, Mogohe's eyes narrowed into a thin slit. Although he couldn't see a smile, as long as he was familiar with him, he could immediately know that this was a sign of Ning Ling's extreme satisfaction and joy. He did have reason to be happy. He thought that it was just a small handle to the prince. Sending someone to ambush and killing a small person like Sun Tu was not a big deal in Xia State. He also asked the emperor to reprimand the prince.

But now, the situation is completely different. The other party not only wanted to kill Sun Tu, but actually attacked him to seize the treasure! And the treasure was actually presented to the emperor as a birthday gift! In this way, the crime suddenly became very great, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that he had a ulterior motive!

If my previous idea was to give the prince some eye drops and make him suffer a little, now it seems that he can give the prince a hard blow, and even shake his status!

Thinking of this, Mogohe looked at Sun Tu again, his eyes softened a lot. He didn't expect that this young man who had just arrived in the capital would bring him such a big gift, and he didn't even have to force him to induce him to hand a good knife to himself.

Sun Tu also saw some other meanings from his changing eyes, and his heart moved.

The two people who have different statuses and have never met before have developed a tacit understanding!
