The Horse of the Three Kingdoms Treads the World

Chapter 24 The Assassination of One Long Night

() Early in the morning the next day, the officers and soldiers continued to move forward. After advancing forty miles, it was already too late.

Soon, mushroom-like tents were set up outside the county seat, and the soldiers who had driven for a day began to light fires and cook, ready to rest for the night.Because of the good news from the previous day, the officers and soldiers were very proud, and they acted a little more arrogantly, without the previous caution.In the surrounding mountains and forests, there were no scouts rushing to investigate, so the whole team rested.

And if someone went to the hidden places in the mountains and forests miles away, they would be surprised.Because in those few mountains and forests, there are thousands of teams of light cavalry. These people are quietly hiding in the dense forest, and their horses are also tied up. If you don't get close, you can't find them. exist.

The leader of these people looked in the direction of Tianse and Lintao City from time to time, as if waiting for something to arrive.

But the officers and soldiers obviously didn't expect that there were so many people ambushing not far away from them, and they still went about their chores until the sky was completely dark, and the soldiers went back to the camp to rest, and the camp that stretched for several miles was also quiet. down.

After the meal, Ma Yue gave his elder brother a wink, and the two got together to discuss secretly while his father Ma Teng arranged manpower to patrol the camp here.Ma Yue showed a decisive look on his face: "Brother, we must start as soon as possible. Otherwise, if we let the army continue to advance, I am afraid that we will soon encounter the Qiang people head-on, and it will be difficult to recover."

"But... Dad is watching by our side, do we have a chance to do this?" Ma Chao asked with some embarrassment.Because they knew that Ma Teng would not agree to their rebellious actions, the two brothers never expressed their intentions. This required Ma Teng to do this behind his back, and this is indeed somewhat difficult in today's camp.

"After the second watch tonight, let's go after Dad falls asleep!" Ma Yue gritted his teeth and said, "The matter can't be delayed any longer!"

"Okay, just do as you said! But... this fact is too dangerous, so I will do it alone. Second brother, you'd better stay here and wait for the news!" Regarding Ma Yue's younger brother's knowledge and strategy, Ma Chao was already quite impressed, so even if he did such a treasonous thing, he didn't hesitate at all.However, he didn't want his brother to take the risk.

But Ma Yue immediately shook his head and refused: "No, I want to go with you, brother! This matter was proposed by me, how can I let you take risks alone? Although my martial arts are far inferior to you, brother, in the past few months There is also a lot of progress here, and self-protection is still possible, so there is a good care."

Seeing his brother's insistence, Ma Chao couldn't say no more about not letting him go, so he nodded, "Then be careful at that time. We brothers will work together, and everything will be done properly."

?????????

At night, the second watch, the officer's barracks became more quiet, and the autumn wind blew, making people feel even colder.So apart from the few sentry guards patrolling the camp at night, there was almost no one inside or outside the camp.At this time, the two figures quietly sneaked out of the western barracks where Ma Teng was, and went straight to the commander's tent in the middle of the company.

These two were naturally brothers Ma Yue and Ma Chao. At this time, both of them had changed into dark nocturnal clothes, tied their cuffs tightly, carried knives and bows on their backs, and bent over to pass by the tents one by one.When they saw three or five soldiers holding torches and weapons lined up approaching, they immediately hid in the shadows.Wait for people to pass by before moving on.

Relying on their familiarity with the official army camp and their cautious actions, the two finally arrived in front of the Chinese army camp after a long while.But then the two felt a little helpless. Outside the handsome tent, there was a very open space, with several flaming torches inserted on both sides, illuminating the area like daytime.

Although there are no soldiers and horses guarding here, Ma Yue and the others really dare not take the risk to rush there. Who knows if there are guards behind the scenes. "I really can't see it during the day. It turns out that this handsome tent is so difficult to get close to. It seems that I took it for granted, thinking that I can kill him easily!" Ma Yue thought rather dejectedly.

"Let's go to the back to see if there is any opportunity!" Ma Chao didn't flinch because of this, and whispered close to his brother's ear.Ma Yue had no other opinion on this, so the two brothers continued to grope backward carefully, hoping to find a gap.

And things did not disappoint Ma Yue, when they turned to the back of the handsome tent, they found that there was no torch like before, enough for them to touch in quietly.In fact, it wasn't that Geng Bi or his personal guards were not careful enough, after all, they were under the protection of tens of thousands of troops, who could directly touch the handsome tent so easily?

The two brothers of the Ma family stopped, looked at each other and wanted to step forward.But just when Ma Yue was about to rush out, his body was held back by Ma Chao: "Wait a minute, someone is coming!" Hearing this, Ma Yue quickly shrank back into the shadows, and was greatly displeased Looking west with comprehension - where the voice came from.One must know that it was past the second watch, and it was dark in the handsome tent, and Geng Bi had already fallen asleep for a long time, so how come there are still people visiting?

But after seeing the attire of the visitors, Ma Yue had an answer, because the ten or so people who came from this line of business were actually dressed in night clothes and armed with weapons like their brothers, and their intentions were not good.But what surprised Ma Yue and the others was still behind. Just after this group of people appeared, more than ten night pedestrians appeared on the other side, generally holding weapons!

The two brothers felt even more strange when they saw it, what was going on, why so many people showed up here one night as they had agreed to, it was too coincidental.But therein lies the mystery of the world.

Now that someone with the same purpose appeared, although they don't know its origin, the two brothers decided to wait and see what happened, so they hid in the dark and watched.And those two groups of people obviously did not have the advantage of the two brothers arriving first, they had no time to hide, so they had to confront each other.After all, they all had unruly intentions, and they didn't dare to disturb the surrounding soldiers, so naturally they didn't dare to fight immediately.

Just when the two groups of people met each other with guarded and inspecting eyes, an exclamation broke the strange silence: "You are... ah, there are assassins!" It was a soldier who got up at night and saw the man in front of the handsome tent with sleepy eyes. The two waves of people shouted immediately.

Only then did the two groups of people suddenly realize that someone stepped forward and attacked the soldier, while the others rushed towards the commander immediately.This time, the two groups of strangers actually had a strong tacit understanding.

A cold light flashed in the dark night, and the soldier fell down clutching his slit throat.But at the same time, many soldiers rushed out of the quiet camps.Although these people were disheveled and many of them didn't even have weapons in their hands, they still rushed towards the commander's tent quickly. They had to protect the commander's safety.

Some of the two groups of assassins held weapons to block the soldiers who came to save them, and several of them got into the tent.Suddenly, there was a sound of fighting and shouting in the tent. Immediately afterwards, the door of the tent was cut open with a knife, and a man in a short jacket escaped in embarrassment under the protection of two sergeants.

It was Geng Bi who came out under protection.No one thought that he actually had a personal bodyguard, who would not leave him even when he slept at night.In fact, this was also forced out, because he had offended the dignitaries in the court in the past when he was in Beijing, and those people had sent killers to assassinate him several times, so Geng Bi, who had suffered a lot, kept four martial arts masters to protect him.

The Ma brothers, who saw this scene, secretly exclaimed that it was a fluke. If there were no two waves of assassins, their brothers would have plunged in, and they would have had to take part in this assassination.

Seeing Geng Bi running out, the soldiers immediately stepped forward to block him, while the struggle inside and outside the commander's tent continued.The skills of these two groups of assassins are not weak, even under the siege of the government army, they can still hold on, making it difficult for them to advance an inch.But obviously, their assassination failed completely, and now they just want to get away.

At this time, there were two screams from the tent, and then several men in black rushed out, with a lot of color on their bodies.Although the two bodyguards were eliminated, they were also injured, and the plan failed completely, which made them very annoyed.

"go!"

"Go!" The two men in black shouted at the same time, and they were about to lead the crowd to break out.

But Geng Bi, who had already made up his mind, would not allow them to leave like this. He screamed, "Come on, take them down for me! Take one, and I will reward you five taels!"

With the encouragement of this reward, all the officers and soldiers became braver, and it would not be easy for those assassins to leave.

At this time, the troops of the other battalions were also alarmed, and a general in full body armor strode over. When he saw the situation here, his complexion immediately sank.Seeing Geng Bi's appearance again, he frowned, and hurried forward: "The late general Niu Fu came to the rescue, please forgive me, Commander!"

"Niu Fu, today is the guard you arranged, how could such a thing happen? I must join you!" Seeing Niu Fu, Geng Bi angrily reprimanded: "Hurry up and lead people to take down these assassins!" !"

"Yes!" Niu Fu nodded, and directed all the soldiers to go forward to arrest the man, and soon all the soldiers around Geng Bi were transferred, even the two bodyguards, but he himself retreated behind Geng Bi. .Geng Bi didn't pay too much attention to this, but he was thinking about how to settle the score afterwards, the matter was already under his control, so of course there was no need to be careful.

At this moment, he suddenly felt a chill in the back of his waist, and when he looked back, he saw a knife had been deeply pierced into his back waist, and the knife was being held by the cow who was very respectful just now. Fu's hands!
