Chapter 1745 Betrayal

Several jailors came in menacingly, with fast footsteps. Before they reached the prison door where the prisoner was, they heard a series of "clicks". Come, my heart is terrified.

The prison doors on both sides of the cell where they were running suddenly opened wide, and ghostly figures sprang out from both sides, attacking and killing these jailers without hesitation.

These three jailers are Zhang Haizhu's ambush masters in the prison. It is really unexpected that the mantis stalking the cicada and the oriole are behind, and in this prison, they have already ambushed other opponents.

There were at least seven or eight shadows rushing out from the cells on both sides. Their movements were swift and decisive, and the light of the knife flickered. A long time ago, the knife had already slashed hard on the back of a jailer, but the jailer was extremely resolute and endured the pain on his back. Huge pain, a backhand knife, but another figure rushed in from the side, before the jailer could react, he felt a piercing pain in his waist, but it was a sharp weapon that had penetrated deeply his waist.

Pei Ji grabbed the sharp point of the opponent, his eyes were stern, the prisoner was difficult to pull out, his pupils constricted, and suddenly he heard screams all around him, and turned his head slightly, only to find that the prison officer who shot at the same time as himself had already flew away. Go out, slam into the wall, and then slowly soften from the wall like a puddle of mud.

Seeing this situation, the prisoner suddenly let go, took a few steps back, and was already sticking to the wall behind, throwing his hands forward, several cold stars hit Pei Ji quickly and urgently.

Just heard the sound of "ding ding ding", Pei Ji's single hand was like lightning, when the prisoner fired the hidden weapon, Pei Ji's right hand was still holding the tip of the weapon, while his left hand flickered in front of him, counting all the hidden weapons Resisted by Pei Ji's single palm, it was difficult for the sharp edge to pierce Pei Ji's palm, these hidden weapons hit Pei Ji's palm, and they fell to the ground one after another as if hitting a hard wall.

Pei Ji's right hand moved slightly, and the needle-like blade had been turned upside down. The sharp point was facing the prisoner, and the shot was like lightning, but the prisoner was unable to retreat, and Pei Ji's speed was extremely fast. There is no room to dodge, eyes are closed, obviously self-control is invincible, eyes are closed and waiting to die, the sharp point is on the prisoner's throat, but the prisoner's face does not change.

In the big prison, such a fight happened suddenly. Many prisoners were awakened, and they didn't know what happened. They were afraid that they would have already shrunk to the corner of the wall to avoid being involved. The courageous ones were thinking whether someone had come to rob the prison. , leaned closer to the prison door, hoping to take this opportunity to escape from the prison.

A quick and fierce fight did not last too long. The three assassins pretending to be jailers in the aisle who wanted to go to the cell to support them were already two dead and one injured. The two assassins who rushed in from the next cell, There was also one death and one injury. The opponent had a total of seven people in ambush. It had already been carefully planned. Naturally, the prisoner and prison officer in the big prison acted as the main assassins and joined forces to attack, while the two assassins in the next cell were as support. for.

Even if the three killers dressed as jailers guarding the interrogation room were originally used to block the main entrance of the prison by accident, but everyone did not expect that they arranged it very carefully, thinking that everything was under control, but inside the prison , but some people have already ambushed and hunted them down.

The sharp blade in Pei Ji's hand didn't pierce the prisoner's throat immediately, but just stared at the man's face. The attendant who knocked down the prison officer had already walked to Pei Ji's side, stared at the prisoner, and asked lightly: " Are you Zhang Haizhu from Shenyi Baihu?"

The prisoner shook his body, opened his eyes, first saw Pei Ji, then moved his eyes slightly, and moved to the attendant beside Pei Ji, he saw that the attendant had sharp edges and corners, he was only in his 20s, not considered handsome, but that Zhang's slightly bronzed face is very masculine, and his eyes are even sharper.

The prisoner's pupils constricted, and he asked in a cold voice, "Who are you?" He had naturally seen that since he could disguise himself as a prisoner and wait for an opportunity to assassinate in the prison, the entourage in front of him was probably also disguised. Of course, he knew that the prison officer who was repelled by the attendant was not an ordinary person, but he was defeated by this attendant in less than three rounds. If it was an ordinary attendant, it would be impossible for him to have such skill.

"Who am I?" The attendant smiled faintly, "Since you have come to the northwest, don't you know who this governor is?"

The corners of Zhang Haizhu's eyes twitched, and he lost his voice: "You...you are Chu Huan?"

......

......

In the inner hall of Jiazhou Zhizhou Mansion, Huang Tu was quite nervous at this moment.

It can be said that this attempt to seize the Northwest is a great feat. If he can assist Xuanyuan Shengcai to succeed in this operation and control the situation in the Northwest, it will really be an incomparable achievement.

For Huang Tu, although the capital of the Qin State fell, the State of Qin has not yet fallen. The crown prince sits in Hexi, and several roads in the north are still loyal to the State of Qin. If he can control the northwest, it is not impossible for the crown prince to use his strength to go south to recover the capital.

Reviving the Qin State was not a distant dream for Huang Tu.

As an official of the Ministry of Rites, Huang Tu didn't think he could make much contribution to the revival of the empire, but the heavens seemed to be particularly fond of him, and the prince could send him to the northwest to have a secret meeting with Xuanyuan Shengcai. Grasp such an opportunity to achieve greater credit.

Once the empire is revived, he will be rewarded in terms of meritorious service. As one of the important heroes who regained the Northwest, Huang Tu thinks that the imperial court will definitely reward him greatly.

The inner hall was lit and the fire was flickering. Huang Tu walked back and forth hundreds of times with his hands behind his back. He was unable to participate in the specific action of assassinating Pei Ji, but it was because of this that he felt even more anxious.

As long as Pei Ji can be killed tonight, Xuanyuan Sheng will be able to gather troops and horses at dawn, and before everyone reacts, they will go straight to Shuoquan.

Without Chu Huan and Pei Ji, Xuanyuan Sheng is the most powerful person in Northwest China right now. Huang Tu even felt that with Xuanyuan Shengcai's strength in soldiers and horses and the wisdom of his lord servant, it would be impossible to control the Northwest. It's really not too difficult.

Glancing at the hourglass, it was already the hour of Hai. At this moment, he suddenly heard the sound of hurried footsteps outside the door, and the sound of armor rubbing against each other. Huang Tu hurriedly dodged behind a screen in the inner room, and soon , I saw a group of armored soldiers enter the inner room, and the first person was Xuanyuan Shengcai.

Seeing this, Huang Tu hurried out from behind the screen and asked, "General Xuanyuan, how is the matter going? Can Pei Ji be killed?"

Xuanyuan Shengcai did not speak, but fixedly stared at Huang Tu's eyes with a pair of wolf-like eyes. Those eyes were full of anger. Only then did he realize that Xuanyuan Shengcai was followed by five or six soldiers, looking at him like wolves and tigers. What's more, the armor on these people was a bit messy, and the armor was stained with blood. Even Xuanyuan Shengcai's armor was stained with blood in many places.

Huang Tu was terrified, and with a "swipe", Xuanyuan Shengcai raised his saber, and the blade was already on Huang Tu's throat.

"General Xuanyuan...!" Huang Tu's whole body softened, and he lost his voice: "You...what are you going to do?"

Xuanyuan Shengcai's eyes burst into flames, and he said angrily: "Huang Tu, how dare you betray me!"

"Tell... betrayed?" Huang Tu was even more at a loss, "General Xuanyuan, what do you mean by that? I...how did I betray you? ?”

"Are you still pretending?" An official behind Xuanyuan Shengcai said angrily, "If you hadn't leaked the news, why did Chu Huan's troops suddenly come to Jiazhou?"

Huang Tu was startled, his mind went blank, and he said in a trembling voice, "Chu...Chu Huan's soldiers? What...what does this mean? General Xuanyuan, I... I don't understand what you mean!"

"A large number of cavalry have appeared outside the city, and the banners of Chu Huan are displayed, and they are all cavalry under Chu Huan's command." Xuanyuan Shengcai sneered: "The hundreds of soldiers Pei Ji brought into the city are theirs. According to the internal response, they have already opened the city gate, and Chu Huan's cavalry has rushed into the city... If they didn't get the news in advance, why did they make such a move?"

Huang Tu suddenly lost his mind, and lost his voice: "Chu...Chu Huan led troops to Jiazhou? This...how is this possible? General Xuanyuan, Chu Huan...Chu Huan is not in the northwest ?"

"When you first came, I asked you, where is Chu Huan now?" Xuanyuan Shengcai kept pressing the blade of the sword on Huang Tu's throat, "But you said that Chu Huan is not in the northwest... .. If it wasn't for this news, why would the general act rashly? Not only is Chu Huan in the northwest, but he has already mobilized troops. His cavalry regiment has quietly entered Jiazhou...Huang Tu, you eat the king's salary, I never thought that you would be colluding with Chu Huan, a traitor, and I will kill you together now!"

"General Xuanyuan...!" Huang Tu said sharply: "Be merciful, I...I never betrayed the general. This must be a misunderstanding. Please also check it out!"

"General, even now this person is still full of lies, and killed this bitch with one knife." A general behind him said: "This person must be in collusion with Chu Huan. Chu Huan is afraid of the general, but he has no excuse to attack us. , so Chu Huan and this person set up a trap to lure the general into the trap...!"

Huang Tu interrupted urgently: "General Xuanyuan, don't be confused. I was sent by His Highness the Crown Prince to serve the imperial court, so how could I collude with Chu Huan and that traitor?"

Xuanyuan Shengcai was startled, frowned, and a general next to him said: "We all know that Xue Huai'an, Minister of Rites, and Chu Huan went to Xiliang together, and it is said that Chu Huan also saved Xue Huai'an's life. These two people have a very close relationship. , since you are an official of the Ministry of Rites and Xue Huai'an's subordinate, did you follow Xue Huai'an's order to secretly contact Chu Huan, and then join forces to kill General Xuanyuan?"

Huang Tu secretly scolded these soldiers with well-developed limbs and simple minds, how could they convict them with such reasoning, and anxiously said: "What kind of argument is this? It is true that Xue Huai'an and I are both in the yamen of the Ministry of Rites, but I have no deep friendship with Xue Huai'an, and And I will never betray the imperial court because of him... Ask around, I actually worked in the Ministry of Rites much earlier than Xue Huaian. And many people know that he has always regarded me as a thorn in the side...General Xuanyuan, you are from the Xuanyuan family, you should know these things, no matter what, I can't betray the court, and the traitor Chu Huan walk together."

"In this case, why did Chu Huan appear here?" A general said sharply, "Why did he join forces with Pei Ji and suddenly come to Jiazhou?"

Xuanyuan Sheng didn't wait for Huang Tu to answer, and asked, "Has Zhang Haizhu ever returned? Did they succeed?"

Huang Tu was startled, and asked, "Didn't the general go to the prison with him?"

Xuanyuan Sheng just sneered and said: "What nonsense are you talking about? It wasn't agreed in advance. I can't appear at the scene, so I found an excuse to get out...!"

Huang Tu slapped his brain, and said repeatedly: "Yes, yes, I was confused for a moment... this, they haven't come back yet...!"

At this moment, he heard footsteps coming from outside again, and soon, he saw a person stumbling out of the door, his helmet was gone, his hair was disheveled, his face was covered with blood, his armor was broken, it looked like he was injured, his hand Leaning on the gate, stretched out one hand, and said: "General, no...it's not good, they...they are coming here, general... .. General, let's go...!"
