Chang Suining and the others were on their way to the school grounds to receive their punishment when they suddenly heard a commotion behind them.
Looking back, I saw many soldiers rushing in the same direction. Someone shouted: "Hurry, there are assassins!"
assassin?
Chang Suining felt incredible when he heard this, but without hesitation, he turned around and quickly joined the chaotic soldiers.
Chang Ren and the two men saw this and quickly followed.
Chang Suining was not happy to join in the fun, but the assassin was really weird, and seeing that the direction everyone was rushing towards was near the camp of the commander and his deputy, she was worried that this incident was aimed at Chang Kuo.
As he quickly approached, the sounds of weapons fighting each other gradually reached his ears.
Getting closer, he could clearly see the fighting scene, and Chang Suining's eyes couldn't help but change.
Those assassins with their faces covered were all dressed in black, and there were roughly a hundred of them!
Even though Li Yi's army was loose, it was still daytime. How did so many assassins sneak into the camp?
This is obviously too strange.
"Girl, don't come forward..." Chang Ren, who was walking quickly, grabbed one of Chang Suining's arms in the chaos and took a few steps back, whispering to dissuade her.
Chang Suining looked at the fierce fighting and quickly assessed the situation.
She saw Li Yi being protected and retreating, with a panicked look on his face, and shouted: "Protect everyone!"
Chang Sui Ning then looked at the "lords" he was talking about - it was easy to tell from the clothes, they were a group of eunuch-looking people, and there was one...
It's He Wei!
Chang Suining recognized the middle-aged man who was surrounded by a group of assassins.
He Wei suddenly appeared in the Shouzhou camp accompanied by a group of eunuchs...
So, this assassination...
"Bang!" He Wei kicked an assassin in black away. The assassin fell heavily to the ground, but more assassins immediately surrounded him.
The eunuchs ran and screamed, and many of them fell into a pool of blood.
The soldiers who rushed over tried to kill these assassins whose origins were unknown, but those assassins were all very skilled, and their attacks were deadly and deadly.
One after another, soldiers fell under the swords of those assassins, and the smell of blood filled the sky, causing the Golden Crow of Xishan to fall faster.
These soldiers probably wouldn't know until their death that the person who wanted their lives was not actually an enemy assassin, but... their commander.
Chang Suining could almost conclude that the mastermind behind this so-called assassination was none other than Li Yi himself.
Under the protection of his confidants, Li Yi no longer knew where he was hiding.
Under siege by everyone, He Wei was unable to respond and was stabbed in the back. He tried his best to find a way out and temporarily escaped from the assassins' siege.
"Chase!" the leader of the assassin shouted, raising his knife.
Chang Suining broke away from Chang Ren's hand.
She moved quickly and was dexterous, and because she was wearing the same military uniform as many soldiers, she was lost in the chaotic crowd and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
He Wei's steps gradually became staggering and slow, but he did not dare to stop.
The footsteps of the assassins were getting closer and closer, and his breathing was getting heavier.
Just when He Wei felt that he could no longer see the road ahead, an arm suddenly stretched out from one side and pulled him over vigorously.
Almost at the same moment, a small hand covered his mouth and nose: "Don't talk."
His voice wasn't loud either, he sounded like a teenager.
The "young man" told him, and quickly piled up several wooden barrels and straw mats beside him, hiding their figures.
This is the gap between the two tents, which is probably where the soldiers rest. The tents are very close to each other, and the wooden barrels even exude the pungent smell of urine.
He Wei slumped down weakly, and the next moment the other party stuffed a pill into his mouth: "To stop bleeding, swallow it."
He Wei was not suspicious and just swallowed it. In other words, he no longer had the need to be suspicious at this moment.
His voice was hoarse and weak: "Little brother, there is no need to work anymore... The knife is poisonous, I can't survive."
Chang Suining frowned and hurriedly went to check the wound on his back, only to see black blood.
This injury was the most serious, but it was not his only injury. The same was true for other wounds, large and small, all of which showed signs of poisoning.
Soon, thick blood gushed out of He Wei's mouth, and he spit out the pill he had just swallowed.
He forced himself to take out a roll of bright yellow silk from his arms and handed it to the soldier in front of him: "...Li Yi has become rebellious. Please try to give this to General Chang. Remember...it must be General Chang."
...Only if he comes forward to expose Li Yi can the military morale be stabilized as much as possible..."
He obviously knew very well what caused this fatal disaster.
Taking over the position of someone else's coach during a battle is inherently risky, but since Li Yi had prepared such a killer move early on, there was only one possibility... someone leaked the news to Li Yi in advance!
Therefore, he failed to see Chang Kuo, but had to go to see the King of Hell first.
Seeing that the soldier didn't move for a moment, He Wei smiled weakly, stuffed the silk over him, and said: "Don't be afraid, this is a great achievement. If you do it well, you can also wear a decent suit of armor."
Wear it... Wealth and honor can be found in danger."
He still had the intention to say something to lighten the atmosphere.
Although it wasn't very funny, Chang Sui Ning smiled feebly out of support and clenched the blood-stained silk.
She didn't answer the call just now, not because she was afraid, but because she was unwilling to watch such a general die.
Although she was not acquainted with He Wei, she recognized him. He was quite talented.
Perhaps this was the reason why the Ming Dynasty chose him to replace Li Yi. Those in the court who knew about this must have placed a lot of hope on this one of the few available generals, hoping that he could turn the tide.
But such a character was about to die in this small, dark, pungent-smelling gap before he even had time to go to the battlefield.
Li Yi's methods were clumsy, and his actions could tell others the clues at a glance. However, such clumsy methods, relying on the "geographical advantage", could easily kill such an outstanding general.
No one knows better than her how difficult it is to train an outstanding military general. He must be brave and resourceful, and he must survive hundreds of battles and remain immortal and unwavering in his determination.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! After another burst of footsteps passed by and then moved away, He Wei coughed twice weakly and asked in a low voice: "Little brother... why are you not talking?
of?"
Chang Suining lowered his eyes: "I am cold by nature and don't like to talk."
This atmosphere seemed to take her back to the countless years when she had to say goodbye to her comrades-in-arms. She did not have a deep friendship with He Wei, and this emotion could not be said to be heartbreaking, but it was always heavy in her heart.
, very depressing.
He Wei smiled: "... When people are about to die, they seem to be a little scared, and they always want to hear something... Anything is fine. Don't you have anything to ask?"
Seeing that the "little brother" remained silent, he gathered some strength and said: "Then let me ask you a question... What is your name? You can be considered half of my benefactor. Remember the benefactor's name, Huangquan Road.
It’s good to have something in mind..."
Chang Suining: "You are planning to keep an eye on me on Huangquan Road to see if I do what you asked me to do, right?"
He Wei was startled for a moment and then laughed again: "My little brother is not only cold by nature, but also suspicious by nature... Don't worry, I promise not to stare at you. Just tell me calmly..."
"Chang Sui Ning."
"Chang..." He Wei seemed a little dazed, but he could no longer express a clear expression on his face, and his mind gradually became dull: "My surname is Chang, but it still sounds familiar to me..."
"Of course, I'm quite famous."
That's it...
After a long while, He Wei finally made his last weak voice: "It turns out that he is not a little brother... It seems that my luck today is not too bad..."
After a moment, Chang Suining raised his hand and covered his eyes that had lost their vitality: "Go well, General He."
She put the silk away and quickly left the place in the dusk at the right moment.
At this moment, the camp was already carrying out the final roundup against the group of assassins.
Li Yi seemed anxious and kept asking about General He's whereabouts and safety. When He Wei's body was finally found, Li Yi looked at the tragically dead body. After a moment of shock, he couldn't help covering his face and crying bitterly.
"...Those assassins originally came for me, but in the end they asked General He to die for me in vain!"
When Li Yi was in grief and panic, Chang Kuo strode in: "May I ask the coach, what happened in the camp?"
"General Chang..." Li Yi looked at him as if he was a bit unresponsive: "How is your injury?"
Chang Kuo frowned and said, "Chang is already fine. If the coach hadn't ordered someone to guard Chang outside his tent day and night, how could Chang have survived this minor injury?"
He faintly heard the sound of fighting in the tent, so he wanted to leave the tent to check. The soldiers guarding him still refused to leave the tent because "the commander told you to take good care of your injuries." However, he knew that the opportunity was rare and the chaos at the moment was huge.
It’s a name, so——
"What the hell are you talking about? Now that things are in such chaos, you still dare to stop me. I think your noses are running upwards - it's the other way around!"
I just typed it out.
With the cooperation of some subordinates who trusted him, he was able to leave the camp smoothly.
But now it seems that it is still too late.
Chang Kuo looked at He Wei's body and listened to Li Yi cry and explain, "I'm also worried about General Chang's health, or that his subordinates are too inflexible in doing things."
Chang Kuo didn't bother to talk to him about the matter at this moment, and only asked firmly: "The coach just claimed that those assassins came for you, does that mean he knows their origins?"
Li Yi: "I have already had people interrogate them. They were originally sent by Xu Zhengye to assassinate me!"
Chang Kuo was speechless for a moment after hearing the words, only looking at the man who was panicking and as timid as a mouse.
Is this coward really who he is?
Chang Kuo finally asked: "General He and others suddenly came here, but what did the saint say?"
"There should be, but I haven't had time to say it yet..." Li Yi said, almost crying again: "General Chang, how am I going to explain to the saint now!"
Should he say it or not, Chang Kuo was really confused by his question: "..."
Pretending to be cowardly is indeed the best protective color.
He knows that the other person is acting, should he expose the other person at this time?
Chang Kuo silently clenched his fists in his sleeves.
Although he has been born with a reckless streak since his mother's womb, his many years of going in and out of ghost gates, and his many experiences of drinking and talking with the Lord of Hell, make him destined not to be such an impulsive and brainless person.
The prerequisite for debunking is to have the conditions for dealing with the aftermath and evidence that can convince the public.
Obviously, he has neither of these.
If He Wei is not dead, naturally everything can be said easily, and with the cooperation of both parties, things can be done. But He Wei and others are already dead at this moment. Without any evidence, relying on him alone is simply untenable, and
Most likely, they will be bitten back at the next moment, and they will be labeled as "rebellious thieves", and they will end up separated from each other.
Thinking of this, Chang Kuo looked at Li Yi crying for help, and even felt that the other person was probably deliberately disgusting and irritating him, so that he would jump into the pit.
But as he calmed down, Chang Kuo clearly understood that he did not have any advantage at this moment.
On the way here, he already knew that Chu Xing, his confidant, had gone out to fight the enemy and had not yet returned, and they did not even know whether they were alive or dead.
This camp was already in danger for him at this time.
Perhaps, instead of exposing Li Yi, he should be more concerned about another issue at the moment... that is his own life and death.
After thinking about this, Chang Kuo looked at Li Yi's crying face and felt that it was not completely unbearable...
He suppressed his nausea and patted Li Yi on the shoulder: "Okay, let's sit down and discuss it carefully."
It's a show, just to survive and not to be ashamed.
Li Yi probably didn't expect that his fiery temper could be tolerated so well, so his crying stopped slightly.
The next moment, Chang Kuo took out a cotton towel from nowhere and even wiped his tears.
Li Yi's heart trembled, and he quickly took it: "I can do it myself... General Chang, please sit down."
Chang Kuo nodded and was about to sit down when he heard an emergency call coming from outside——
"Report——!"
"The Xu rebels have defeated Jiangning Mansion, and the army is heading towards Hezhou to attack!"
Chang Kuo was halfway sitting down, his free buttocks tightened, and he suddenly stood up straight: "What?! Jiang Ning was broken?!"
How can it be!
It’s only seven or eight days!
Seeing Li Yi's face turning slightly pale, Chang Kuo's mind boomed: "Is it possible that the coach hasn't sent reinforcements?!"
They had clearly made a plan to send troops to defend Jiangning!
"I originally thought... Jiangning is easy to defend. I have 50,000 troops to defend the city, and Hezhou will send troops to assist. I thought it would be enough to resist the Xu family's rebel army..." Li Yi was really scared. He defeated Jiangning in such a short time.
, the Xu rebels are really fierce!
He was right to reserve more troops for self-protection and deployment!
Chang Kuo saw through his thoughts at a glance and was so angry that his blood surged and he almost carried him away.
This loser has been keeping his troops in his hands, and he doesn't dare to send troops because he hopes to raise these soldiers to give birth to his offspring!
"We can't lose Hezhou again!" Chang Kuo said solemnly: "Otherwise, Huainan Road will not be protected!"
"Yes..." Li Yi looked at Chang Kuo as if he was confused: "Well, according to General Chang's opinion, who should be sent to lead the troops to Hezhou to resist the rebels? I listen to General Chang!"
Chang Kuo looked at him steadily.
After thinking again and again, Chang Kuo spoke.
…
The night was getting darker outside the tent, and soldiers were lined up in rows, waiting to be searched.
Li Yi failed to find the secret order brought by He Wei and the others, and suspected that someone had taken advantage of the chaos to hide it. Therefore, he immediately summoned all the soldiers who might have been close to the place when the incident occurred, and searched them one by one in the name of finding out who the assassin was.
