General Xue, who has become a big boss in the actual army, his eyes turned red in an instant. He roared angrily, stamped a hole in the ground with his right foot, and rushed towards the assassin with a lunge. past!
He even ignored the dagger in the assassin's hand and slammed directly into him!
Xue Wei is more than half a head taller than Shen Yi. He is a strong man weighing 200 pounds and has been battle-hardened for a long time!
The power with which he charged forward was not comparable to Shen Yi's collision just now!
The assassin was not weak in physique, and his lower body was very stable. Even so, he was knocked nearly a foot away by Xue Wei and fell to the ground hard, with blood coming from the corner of his mouth.
Xue Wei strode forward, stepped on the man's chest, and pulled off the scarf that covered half of his face.
Under the night, Xue Wei stared at this man with wide eyes, his eyes full of disbelief.
"Chang Lie!?"
Shen Yi was right, he was indeed their companion.
And he is a relatively familiar companion.
Ever since he was put on the assassination list by the Cleansing Department, Shen Yi has been very careful about his travels. On weekdays, he is accompanied by at least thirty or forty people, and sometimes he takes an entire hundred-household camp with him.
It is impossible for anyone to come close to his residence, let alone imitate Xue Wei's voice at the door of his room.
He must be an acquaintance, even very familiar with Xue Wei. He often talks to Xue Wei and has deliberately trained him.
Chang Lie was an old man in the anti-Japanese army. Because of his good skills, he was selected as Shen Yi's personal guard together with Zhu Zhen and others. He was also the captain of the personal guard, and his status was similar to Zhu Zhen's.
Among Shen Yi's followers, his status may be second only to Jiang Sheng.
Even because he was from the old anti-Japanese army and he was often with Shen Yi, Xue Wei was familiar with him.
When the two of them had nothing to do, they often sparred with each other. Chang Lie was very good at fighting. He could compete with Xue Wei on weekdays. However, he was hit by Xue Wei angrily, and he lost the ability to resist. obvious…
He probably lost his mind.
Shen Yi had already taken off his bloody coat. After a brief bandage, he walked up to Chang Lie with the help of Jiang Sheng. Looking at the man in front of him who was pressed to the ground by Xue Wei, he coughed twice from time to time. , an acquaintance who could cough up blood, Mr. Shen couldn't help but be shocked.
He had no doubts about this man.
Mr. Shen took a deep breath and looked at Chang Lie, who was almost thirty years old, and was silent for a long time.
"You know how to be a spy. It seems that you are probably not Chang Lie."
At this moment, Chang Lie's arms were locked with a cowhide rope and he was forced to kneel in front of Shen Yi. He lowered his head and did not dare to look at Shen Yi's face.
"Master Hou, at the time there were several Japanese pirates in the southeast who were supported by the Purity Department..."
"At that time, the Marquis formed an anti-Japanese army in the southeast, and the superiors sent subordinates... and sent me to sneak into the anti-Japanese army."
"I stayed in Yueqing for a long time, and finally found a soldier of the anti-Japanese army who was similar to me in stature and appearance, and was not from Zhejiang. His surname was Chang... Minglie."
His words are not difficult to understand.
When the anti-Japanese army was first formed, the vast majority of the army were from Taizhou and Wenzhou. If he randomly found a local to kill and impersonate him, it would be easy for him to become a gangster.
But Chang Lie was different. He was not from Zhejiang, but a foreigner who took a boat to live in Wenzhou, and eventually joined the army to fight against the Japanese army.
Hearing this, Xue Wei couldn't bear it any longer, kicked Chang Lie hard in the stomach, and shouted angrily: "You beast, you have been with Mr. Shen for seven years. How can Mr. Shen treat you badly?" I've passed you!"
Because of the pain, Chang Lie held his stomach and coughed violently, coughing up several mouthfuls of blood.
Shen Yi also turned pale and waved his hand towards Xue Wei, signaling him not to do anything again.
"If the people from the Cleansing Department take action, there will probably be people in the city who will cooperate. You go and inform the Suzhou magistrate's office to seal the Suzhou city gate."
Xue Wei glanced at Chang Lie fiercely, then lowered his head and said, "General, I'll go right now."
After saying that, he looked at Shen Yi's right hand again and asked: "Mr. Shen, are you injured?"
Shen Yi looked calm and said, "If he doesn't temper the poison, he'll be fine."
As he said that, he looked at "Chang Lie".
This Chang Lie knelt on the ground again, lowered his head and smiled miserably: "Master Hou, there are too many informants around you. It is not easy for the Cleansing Department to contact me even once, and it is even harder to send poison."
Around Shen Yi, in addition to a certain number of Di Reporters, there are also people from the inner guard. If there is anything abnormal about Chang Lie, the Di Reporters will not be able to detect it, and the inner guards are likely to notice it.
Shen Yi had someone move a chair, sat across from "Chang Lie", and took a deep breath.
"You have been with me for seven or eight years."
Shen Yi said silently: "If you want to kill me, there should be many opportunities."
Chang Lie wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, lowered his head and said: "Previously, when we were in the southeast, there was no suitable opportunity."
"Later, when I arrived in the Huai'an Army, the Cleansing Department contacted me several times over the past few years, but we all felt that the risk was too high."
"They think it might be more useful for me to stay with you."
Shen Yi was silent and said: "So last time, there were people setting off fireworks and shooting arrows outside my handsome tent..."
Chang Lie coughed twice.
"It was set off by my subordinates. After my subordinates set off the fireworks, the Marquis sent his subordinates to search for the person who set off the fireworks."
He lowered his head and said, "My subordinate killed one of the guards around the Marquis with one sword, and stuffed the remaining two fireworks and arrows into his arms."
Mr. Shen's eyelids twitched. He looked at Chang Lie and said, "Until today, you have hidden it very well."
He closed his eyes: "When did you start preparing to kill me?"
"In the days of Chinese New Year, I will be in Jiankang City."
Chang Lie's expression was a little bitter: "The person in charge of the Cleansing Department has changed."
"Now…"
He looked at Shen Yi and his voice was hoarse: "The Purity Department will do whatever it takes to assassinate you, Lord Marquis, and all the top generals of the Huai'an Army!"
"To prevent the Huai'an army from advancing northward."
He lowered his head and coughed a few more times.
"These assassinations will become more and more crazy."
Shen Yi closed his eyes, his face was almost colorless due to blood loss.
After a while, he opened his eyes and looked at Jiang Sheng: "You all get out."
"I'll have a few words with him alone."
Jiang Sheng hesitated for a moment, and just when he was about to speak, Shen Yi frowned and said, "He is tied up like this."
Jiang Sheng nodded, looked at Shen Yi's right hand, and led the people back out.
Shen Yi sat on a small stool and looked at Chang Lie.
"Even if it's the New Year, there are still many opportunities for you to kill me."
Chang Lie remained silent.
Shen Yi took a deep breath and said, "In more than seven years, there have been more opportunities."
"Just now, with your skill and full strength, it is unlikely that I could have supported Xue Wei and the others until they arrived."
"Chang Lie" lowered his head with tears in his eyes.
"I have been with the Marquis for so many years, and the Marquis has treated me well..."
He lowered his head, never daring to look up at Shen Yi.
"Moreover, after the Marquis took Shandong, he was very good to the people. The Marquis does not deserve to die."
Shen Yi was silent for a while, then looked down at his right hand and said, "So, are you stabbing me to kill me, or to remind me?"
"I have no idea."
Chang Lie lowered his head, his eyes full of confusion.
"Master Hou, for more than seven years, I have become familiar with the brothers around me."
"It would be nice if I wasn't Qi Ren."
He lowered his head with tears streaming down his face: "Then I will follow the Marquis for the rest of my life."
Shen Yi looked down at the injury on his right hand and understood something: "Do you have family in the north?"
Chang Lie nodded silently.
Then, his behavior is not difficult to understand.
He didn't want to kill Shen Yi in his heart, but for the sake of his family, he had to stab him like this.
Mr. Shen stretched out his left hand, patted "Chang Lie" on the shoulder, and asked, "What's your name?"
"Chang Lie" hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth.
"Villain...Shaoping."
"Shaoping."
Shen Yi repeated it.
"I've remembered this name."
He looked at Shaoping and asked, "Is there anything else you want to say?"
Hearing Shen Yi's words, Shaoping lowered his head and shed tears, and kowtowed to Shen Yi: "There is nothing more to say."
"Thank you, Mr. Marquis, for making it possible."
By this time, he had to die.
He stabbed Shen Yi. If he didn't die, it would be unreasonable for the Huai'an Army.
For the same reason, if he stabbed Shen Yi, if he didn't die, it wouldn't make sense to the Purity Department.
No matter from any angle, he has no way out.
It's okay if it doesn't make sense to the Huai'an Army. If it doesn't make sense to the Qingjing Division, his family will have no way to survive.
That's why he thanked Shen Yicheng.
Mr. Shen stood up and felt waves of severe pain coming from his right arm. He silently raised his head and looked at the night sky.
Qi people are already desperate.
As "Shao Ping" said, next, the Purity Department of the Northern Qi Dynasty may carry out crazy assassinations on the top leaders of the Huai'an Army, including Shen Yi.
This is the hysterical roar of the secret service agency Northern Qi.
Or…
Incompetent and furious.
The appearance of "Chang Lie" and tonight's assassination made Master Shen, who was already a little slack and complacent, regain his vigilance.
"Jiang Sheng."
Lord Shen opened his mouth and called out.
Jiang Sheng immediately trotted all the way, ran in, and supported Shen Yi.
"I'm a little sleepy."
Mr. Shen's tone was already a little weak.
"Help me go to rest."
Jiang Sheng quickly agreed and was about to help Shen Yi when he felt a heavy weight on his hand. He turned around and saw that Mr. Shen had lost too much blood and could no longer stand still.
"Master, Master..."
He called twice, but when Shen Yi didn't respond, Jiang Sheng became a little anxious and said loudly: "Come here, take the Marquis to the bedroom to rest!"
"Has the doctor arrived? Why hasn't the doctor arrived yet?"
At this moment, this follower who had been with Shen Yi for more than eight years suddenly became angry.
"It's tea time and the doctor hasn't come yet, this is the medical clinic in Suzhou City!"
"Just don't open it again!"
