Li Zhi, don't be a coward

Chapter 506 Careless, I Didn't Flash
A well-planned assassination was avoided by Li Qinzai, whether it was luck or insight into the opportunity, in short, the assassination against Li Qinzai failed.

Most of the herdsmen in the encirclement had been killed by the tribes. The three assassins who rushed out of the encirclement were killed and two were injured. The old man in the lead had a leg cut off by Old Wei and attempted suicide. He was crying on the sand with his legs in his hands.

The officers and soldiers of the Imperial Army have slowly surrounded them, without saying a word, they tied up the living people tightly.

Li Qinzai was still in a daze, with cold sweat dripping down his forehead.

This was probably the second time that he was so close to death, so close that he could smell the stench of death.

The first time was in the mourning hall of Ganjingzhuang, and it was the same when he was assassinated by the dead of the Wang family.

This time, Li Qinzai seemed to be closer to death, so close that he could see a piece of leek stuffed between the teeth of the god of death.

It wasn't until the assassins dressed as herdsmen were all slaughtered, and only two seriously injured assassins remained screaming, that Liu Ahsi and Lao Wei hurried forward. Amidst the anxious shouts, Li Qinzai slowly regained his senses.

"Fifth Shaolang was frightened, and it's a villain's crime." Liu Asi and Lao Wei knelt down on one knee in fear and pleaded guilty.

"No, it's nothing..." Li Qinzai was a little dazed, and the thrilling scene just now still flashed in his mind.

If it was a little slower, Cui Jie would have become a widow. Grandpa and parents sent a white-haired man to a black-haired man. Qiao'er might not be too miserable. After all, the emperor appointed him an official, and Empress Wu might be overjoyed... …

As for those little bastards in the school, maybe someone will cry for him, or maybe they will pretend to cry on the surface and clap their hands secretly.

After experiencing life and death, he suddenly realized that this world has already become very closely related to him. Relatives, friends and enemies have intertwined into his network of relationships in this world.

His life and death will definitely affect the emotions of many people. He is inseparable from this world.

"It's okay, we're all on the right track, I can't blame you, the enemy is too insidious." Li Qinzai comforted.

Liu Asi said with guilt on his face: "The villain was not vigilant enough and failed to detect the intentions of this group of people, which caused Wu Shaolang to be almost assassinated. This is the matter. After returning to Chang'an, the villain will plead guilty to the old man."

Old Wei's face was also a little pale. The scene just now was probably rare in his experience of many battles. Veterans don't take their own life and death seriously, but Li Qinzai is definitely a thousand times more important than his life.

If Li Qinzai had been stabbed to death just now, Lao Wei would have no other way to atone for his crime except to wipe his neck with his knife.

Li Qinzai patted Old Wei on the shoulder and forced a smile: "Fortunately, Old Wei found out in time. If you hadn't dragged me just now, I would be kneeling in the Hall of the King of Hell to appeal for grievances."

"By the way, Old Wei, how did you find out that something was wrong with them?"

Old Wei also forced a smile, and said: "They were perfectly disguised, they only hid daggers in their arms, and they were dressed in standard herdsmen's attire. To be honest, the old man didn't see their flaws at the time..."

"Then why are you suddenly alert?"

Old Wei showed his familiar yellow teeth, and said with a smile: "If you tell me something, Wu Shaolang may not believe it. The old man has been in the field for a long time, and he is very sensitive to 'murderous'. Whoever is hostile, who is secretly With murderous intentions, as long as the distance is close, the old man's ears will itch."

"It's very mysterious to say, but the old man really has this problem, and he has never been wrong. Just now, when the herdsmen were going to kowtow to Wu Shaolang, the old man's ears started to itch. He felt that something was wrong, so he hurriedly dragged Wu Shaolang back. "

Li Qinzai nodded, although what Old Wei said was absurd, he believed it.

Veterans have valuable battlefield experience. When encountering enemy situations, they often rely on a kind of inexplicable and very precise intuition. The so-called "itchy ears" is intuition.

"Thanks to Lao Wei for saving me today..." Li Qinzai patted him on the shoulder again, thinking of the thrilling scene just now, he still couldn't help sweating.

Old Wei said with shame: "There has been no war for many years, and the old man has regressed a lot. If it had changed in the past, the old man would have drawn his sword the first time he saw them."

Now the question is, a group pretending to be Tuyuhun cavalry and a group pretending to be nomads performed a chase and escape in front of Li Qinzai, what is their origin?What was the purpose of assassinating Li Qinzai?
"Call the interpreter in our team, Ah Si, Lao Wei, I don't care what method you use to interrogate the two survivors, I just want the result." Li Qinzai's eyes flickered with murderous intent.

Due to the complexity of the people outside Guanzhong, especially the multi-ethnic region in the northwest, Li Qinzai had hired several guides to interpret when he was in Yuanzhou, and they were proficient in Turkic, Tubo, Tuyuhun, Qiang, etc. Really came in handy.

With such a big change today, it was obviously impossible to move on. Li Qinzai ordered to set up camp on the spot, while Liu Ahsi and Lao Wei took two survivors and found a remote corner for interrogation.

The trilogy set up their tents, and Li Qinzai personally lit a fire to grill the meat, and the crispy and oily lamb shank fell into his mouth. Only then did Li Qinzai feel a sense of comfort, and the horror of being assassinated was finally calmed down a lot.

An hour after setting up camp, Liu Ahsi and Lao Wei came to tell Li Qinzai that they had confessed alive.

However, Lao Wei shamelessly reported to Li Qinzai that the interrogation and torture were a bit harsh, and they still couldn't make it through after confessing alive, and both of them died.

Li Qinzai didn't ask what kind of torture they used. Anyway, everyone knew that the two survivors would be dead no matter whether they confessed or not.

"I just want results, what is the origin of these two groups?" Li Qinzai asked lightly.

Old Wei said: "It was sent by Tubo."

"Both groups?"

"That's right, that chase was just a play for Wu Shaolang. The front group was dressed as Tang herdsmen, and the back group were dressed as Tuyuhun cavalry. It's the herdsmen."

Li Qinzai nodded: "We killed the so-called Tuyuhun cavalry and rescued the herdsmen. The herdsmen will kowtow to me in gratitude. No one will doubt their sincerity and gratitude..."

"The time when the herdsmen kowtow is not only the time when they are closest to me, but also the time when our guard is the weakest."

"Choose to act at this time, hehe, to be honest, the person who planned this assassination is well versed in people's hearts, he is a master, I admire it!"

Liu Asi felt ashamed, bowed his head and said: "Wu Shaolang is right. When the herdsmen kowtowed in gratitude, the villain and brothers did not have any doubts, and took the initiative to make room for them. The villain and brothers got stuck Wu Shaolang is in a desperate situation and deserves death."

Li Qinzai sighed: "No one is to blame for this matter, we are all careless."

"In the final analysis, our thinking has not adapted to the environment. From now on, we are already in the battlefield. People on the battlefield must have the mentality to deal with open and hidden arrows at any time. Today's matter, everyone must review themselves, including me. "
