She Song

Chapter 268 Friendships and destiny

No one expected that there would be a tiger with yellow and white stripes in the depths of the forest!

The huge king of beasts seemed to be extremely angry at the humans who invaded the territory. He lowered his posture and approached step by step from behind the assassins.

Although the assassins killed many people, human beings are innately fearful of ferocious beasts. The sudden appearance of a tiger caused everyone present to stop their actions involuntarily.

The strong sense of crisis tightened the nerves of the assassins. As the tiger got closer and closer, one of the outermost assassins finally couldn't control his emotions and fled.

For tigers, "invaders" are unforgivable. The prey turns and runs away, proving the opponent's weakness. The law of the forest: the jungle eats the strong!

As the tiger jumped down on the assassin, the assassin let out a shrill scream, and the other assassins in the forest instantly became confused, fleeing, hiding, or shooting with their repeating crossbows.

opportunity!

Although Han Xiaoyao was also shocked, he was the first to realize that the tiger was his "friendly army", so he said to the trembling Shen Erniang: "Kill the assassin!"

"Whoosh!"

One arrow hit the assassin who was careless about his head and tail. Another arrow hit and another assassin fell.

Hearing Han Xiaoyao's reminder, Shen Erniang gritted her teeth and opened her bow to kill the assassin.

Although the tiger moves quickly, the lethality of the repeating crossbow is terrible. After killing two assassins, the giant tiger has been hit by many arrows and fell down. However, it successfully confuses and attracts the attention of the assassins, giving Han Xiaoyao his final blow. A precious opportunity to counterattack.

After killing three assassins, there were only six assassins left, and the crossbow bolts were almost exhausted.

A base number of quivers for each repeater is five.So after the fierce exchange of fire before, and the tigers disrupting the situation, the assassin's repeating crossbow has become almost a decoration now.

Although Han Xiaoyao and Shen Erniang only have a pot of twenty feather arrows, they can recover every arrow that is shot at the prey, so they still have three or four feather arrows.

After the chaos, the assassin leader realized that the situation was very bad. If Han Xiaoyao was not dealt with, reinforcements from the other side would arrive soon, and there would be absolutely no way to survive at that time.

Throwing away the repeating crossbow and drawing out the dagger, the leader rushed towards Han Xiaoyao while calling the others for the final sprint: "Brothers, get on shoulder to shoulder!"

However, just as he took three or two steps, an arrow hit him in the abdomen, causing him to stagger and fall to the snow with a groan.

Guessing that the opponent had no crossbow arrows, Han Xiaoyao smiled easily and said: "If anyone else wants to die, just come!"

At a distance of twenty steps, not to mention a living person, even a grasshopper can make sure his arrow is in vain.

The five assassins who had originally planned to rush with them stopped abruptly and hid behind the tree again.

The leader lying on the ground cursed: "Idiot, if you don't kill him now, you are dead..."

The five assassins were a little moved again, but they heard Han Xiaoyao say: "As long as you surrender, I will exempt you from the death penalty and you will only have to perform hard labor. Although it is very hard, in ten years you will be able to go home and honor your parents and take care of your wife and children. You If they die, who will care whether they live or die?"

Sometimes, it only takes one sentence to break the opponent's mind, and Han Xiaoyao gives him the guarantee of avoiding death, and when he mentions the opponent's family, the assassins have no reason to risk their lives.

One hundred thousand guan is a lot, but now the chance is so slim that they even have a ridiculous idea in their hearts. Even tigers come to rescue King Zhenbei. Isn't this their destiny?

So, the five people dropped all their equipment, pulled off their belts, and came out with their pants lifted to surrender.

"We were obsessed with wealth for a while and believed the Jurchens' lies. Now we have surrendered and are at the mercy of the prince!" The five assassins finally knelt in front of Han Xiaoyao with their hands on their heads.

The leader still kept yelling at his companions for being stupid, but as he gradually lost blood, he gradually became weak.The first one to arrive was Jiang Queer. After rushing into the forest and seeing corpses everywhere, his head was buzzing. Until he reached the cliff, he saw the tigers covered in blood and the mutilated corpses, and he felt almost... frozen.

Fortunately, he finally came to his senses when he saw a familiar figure talking to the assassin kneeling on the ground.

The rest of the things were done according to the procedures, including escorting the prince and princess to move, controlling the prisoners, rescuing the injured, searching the surroundings closely, cleaning up the scene, etc.

Facing Jiang Queer's plea, Han Xiaoyao said nothing. But when he passed by the tiger, he saw that it was still breathing weakly. Han Xiaoyao pointed at the "friendly army" and said: "Take it back and try to save it as much as possible!"

Although Master and Mistress didn't say a word, Jiang Que'er quickly spelled out the general story. This fierce tiger saved Master's life at the most critical moment!
Without saying anything, he cut down a tree, tied up the injured tiger and sent him down the mountain together.

When the warning flare was observed, Huan Die remained calm and immediately issued a martial law order at the construction site, requiring all personnel to enter the barracks and not go out.

Maode, Shen Sanniang, and Wang Zhixian, who were heavily protected, all noticed the tense atmosphere at the construction site. Huandie could only vaguely tell them to calm down, and privately sent capable personnel to the mountains and forests to inquire for information.

In Han Xiaoyao, Shen Erniang returned to the construction site without any danger, and immediately returned to Yanjing under the escort of her personal guards.

Early the next morning, Hao Ren, who had not slept all night, brought the confession document from the assassin leader.

"Your Majesty, it was the Jurchens who ordered it. All the details are here."

Han Xiaoyao read the file and nodded. Although the Jurchens claimed to be on good terms with Yanjing on the surface, many powerful people saw themselves as a thorn in their side and wanted to get rid of them quickly.

However, he looked at Hao Ren. The assassin leader was obviously an extremely stubborn soldier. He actually didn't even survive a single night. This clearly shows the cruelty of Hao Ren's interrogation methods.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work. I'll leave it to Yunhe to handle the rest."

Hao Ren left calmly.

After receiving the interrogation and confession, Xiao Yunhe immediately launched a secret arrest and followed the clues to capture more than [-] criminals involved in the murder.

On the third day of the assassination, Xiao Yunhe reported: "The spy leader who presided over the assassination was Wanyan Xiyin's subordinate Meng Lu. He should have fled Yanjing. According to the current evidence, it looks like a personal revenge act."

Han Xiaoyao looked at the dossier and said: "This has already involved the spies directly under the Jurchen military. Regardless of whether there is authorization from the high-level, an arrest document will be issued to Shangjing, and Menglu will be handed over within a time limit, otherwise the Kingdom of Jin will have to pay the price!"

Xiao Yunhe asked hesitantly: "Do you need us to arrange revenge?"

Han Xiaoyao smiled and said: "Before, I was worried that I would not have the chance to enter Yundi, but now I have a valid reason."

Afterwards, the first division of the Zhen Guojun quickly assembled and approached the border of Guizhou.

When Lou Shi received the warning immediately, his scalp went numb, and he immediately led 3 troops to Guizhou.

In the city of Shangjing, Wu Qimai, who had already put on weight, threw the letter of interrogation from Yanjing to the ground and roared: "The kid from the Han family bullied others too much! Do you really think that we, Dajin, are weak and can be bullied?! If he dares to attack Guizhou, he will start an all-out war. !”

Zong Han, who had already heard the news, picked up the letter and sighed after reading it.

"Your Majesty, the purpose of Yanjing's excuse is to use Yundi Jiuzhou. However, the military industry is currently at a critical period and it is really not appropriate to start a war."

Wu Qimai couldn't help but slow down his tone when facing Zong Han, and asked angrily: "When will we wait?"
