My Chinese ancestors

Chapter 6: Killing the Rebellion

Assassination roster…

Secret code for doing things...

Who is this person who really came prepared and specifically targeted the Su family?

Su Chen has lived here for ten years, and is somewhat familiar with the royal relatives and marquises of the Yan Kingdom. However, his father has no grudges against them, so he cannot spend so much effort to kill people for no reason.

The horse galloped as fast as it could on the bumpy road. Su Chen touched the Tiangong token in his arms. At this time, there was a shortage of manpower. There might be a chance to summon the Tiangong general of the late Han Dynasty.

But when I touch the token, what appears in my mind is that it cannot be evoked and requires five thousand merit points.

This... is a bit deceptive.

Up until now, Su Chen had saved Su Congfang, killed assassins in prison, investigated the tongue-talking man, and then killed three opponents in the mountain temple to get the roster. He had only increased by more than 3000 points. He was still more than 1000 points away from summoning the God of Heaven to Zhang Jiao. .

Su Chen had no choice but to let go of the token, temporarily put aside the matter of summoning God to open his horns, and grabbed the guard Thirteen who was riding a horse and urged him to speed up.

"Third Young Master, this horse can only go so fast!"

His voice floated helplessly in the wind.

……

The sky was getting dark and it was already Youshi.

A red lantern hung on the door of the mansion with the plaque of "Su Hou". Su Yong and Su Lie had been busy until then before returning home. Their mother and wife had prepared meals and were waiting.

"Sit down for a while and have a sip of tea. I'll ask the maid to bring the food and heat it up." Su Huan took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from her husband's forehead. "This will reassure my husband. My father-in-law woke up again today." One time, I drank porridge and my appetite was still good, but the doctor said I can’t eat anything strong right now.”

Listening to his wife's report on the big and small things in the house, Su Yong smiled and nodded, and then looked around. Apart from his mother, only his second brother and his sister-in-law were left.

"Where's the third brother? Why didn't you ask him to come for dinner?"

"He?" The one who spoke was Hua Hongzhen, who was next to Su Lie. As the second sister-in-law, she had never liked this uncle, so her tone was naturally not very good at this time: "I went out early in the morning, and now I don't even have the slightest trace of a ghost. Not even seen."

The old woman was sitting in the front seat, holding her crutches and worried, "Is something going to happen to Chen'er?"

"Mom, just relax. That kid is smarter than anyone else about cheating and cheating. How could something happen to him?" Huahong really wanted to say more, but her husband glared at her and she had to shut up quickly.

"Let's eat first. There's something going on at home and everyone is tired. Just leave some food for your third brother."

Su Yong came out to smooth things over. At this time, there couldn't be any gaps at home. While talking, he invited Su Lie and his sister-in-law to sit down and have dinner.

bang bang~~
The time was sounded outside, and it was already three quarters to one hour.

There was almost no one in sight on the street. The watchman was banging his clapper and carrying a lantern as he walked through the streets near the Marquis Mansion. His shouting suddenly stopped, and a figure stood beside him, covering his hands violently. He opened his mouth, and the lantern in his hand fell to the ground with a bang. He pulled the dagger on the watchman's neck, and the blood instantly stained his clothes red, and then he was taken into the alley next to him along with the lantern on the ground.

Figures were running quickly on the empty streets, spreading through the alleys.

……

Under the same sky, the horse with its tongue sticking out had slowed down, its limbs cramped, and it fell to the ground with a bang.

Su Chen and Thirteen flew into the air, then landed steadily on the ground. They continued to run forward without any pause. In the distance, surrounded by mountains, speckled firelight appeared.

This is the Ding'an military camp where Su Chen is coming. Ten years ago, the Emperor of Yan asked the princes of the states to cut down the army, so the number of soldiers in the army has always been less than 2000. Among them, [-] people are stationed in the city to help defend the city wall. After a certain period of time, Just alternate with the other half of the soldiers.

Su Chen had met the general on duty several times in the mansion and knew him well. As he approached the camp, an archer on the sentry tower fired a rocket, illuminating their faces.

Thirteen went over first, showed the token in his hand to the soldiers behind the camp gate, then opened the camp gate through a gap, and respectfully invited Su Chen in.

He must have been notified. A general named Duan Hong, wearing armor, was standing outside the tent. He raised his hands and said, "I pay homage to the Third Young Master. I am sorry that I am wearing armor and cannot perform a full salute!"

"No need for formality. General, please come in. I have something important to tell you."

Su Chen looked at the soldiers looking around from a distance. He walked into the tent one step ahead of them. Thirteen immediately lowered the curtain and stood at the entrance of the tent holding a sword.

"Drinking is not allowed in the army, so we can only drink tea instead of wine. I hope Third Young Master will not find it objectionable." Duan Hong smiled and poured a cup of tea. After putting down the tea cup, he sat down at the main seat and asked about business.

"I wonder if the Third Young Master is looking for the last general because of something important."

"I want General Duan to mobilize the troops in the camp and follow me into the city." Su Chen told this person about the investigation of the assassin's contact with the tongue man, and handed the book to the other person from his arms, "This is the other person's The general is also on the assassination list." "Is there such a thing?"

Duan Hong frowned, quickly put down his tea cup and stood up. He took the name list with both hands and opened it. Sure enough, he found his name on it, but he thought about it for a moment and then smiled.

"Third Young Master, how can we take a list that can be written casually seriously? I don't have the guts to send troops out of the camp privately. I'm afraid Third Young Master will make his trip in vain."

Most people don't dare to trust this third son of the Hou family with a bad reputation.

"You don't believe me?" Su Chen's eyes turned cold. He was not far away from Xu Shi. If he delayed any longer, he was afraid that a thief would break into the Hou Mansion. He stood up and raised his hands heavily: "General Duan, I usually hear rumors. , I am just a prodigal, but the safety of my family is in danger, how can I play with it? If this thing is true, I will apologize to my father for this matter, I will not blame the general, and I will also ask General Duan to mobilize troops into the city!"

Duan Hong looked at Su Chen for a moment, then nodded, "Since Third Young Master has said so, Duan will make this trip, Third Young Master, please!"

Su Chen cupped his hands and clasped his fists, then turned around and walked out of the tent. The moment he opened the curtain, a flash of lightning seemed to flash through his mind, and he looked back at the roster that Duan Hong had left on the table.

wrong……

If it was an assassination list, why were there no casualties among the officials in the city, but instead killed my father first to arouse the enemy?Besides, if you really killed my father, why should you kill the officials and generals in the city again?

Unless this list has nothing to do with the assassination...but...

Su Chen thought of a possibility, and his body trembled slightly as he stood at the entrance of the tent.

——Vote for the roster!

Those names above were actually the people behind the assassination. Thinking of this, Su Chen clenched his teeth and his eyes were frighteningly cold. When Thirteen in the tent asked in confusion: "What happened to the Third Young Master?", he let go. Curtain, turned around and walked towards Duan Hong who was getting the weapon.

The sword in his hand was swinging, and his thumb pushed the hilt to slowly reveal the sword body.

Duan Hong took off his weapon and heard footsteps approaching. He turned around and looked at Su Chen, who was almost close to him, and said: "Third Young Master, do you still have..."

Over there, Su Chen stood still, looking straight at him, his lips slightly open.

"...General Duan, you must be a guest at the Marquis Mansion often. Has the Marquis of Ding'an ever treated you badly?"

Duan Hong frowned.

"What are you talking about, Third Young Master... Of course, the Marquis has never treated you brothers badly."

"Then why is the general's name on this list?"

"Didn't Third Young Master talk about the assassination list? My name is on it, it's normal."

Su Chen closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and his voice became hoarse: "General Duan, as far as I know, most people don't wear armor late at night... Why does the general wear armor? But something big is going to happen tonight?"

He slowly touched the hilt of the sword, and his eyes became sharp as he opened his eyes, "...or should I say, this list is the list you voted for!"

Clang!
The light of the sword was unsheathed, and a soft sound of gold and iron filled the air.

Almost at the same time, Duan Hong reached out to draw his sword. Su Chen kicked the back of his hand, pulled out half of the blade and put it back into the sheath, then slashed down the sword with a roar in his hand.

"A rip-off!"

hum!
The sword light flashed across the astonished face on the other side.

At this time, the soldiers and guards outside the tent who heard the commotion were pushing to rush in. After a moment, the curtain was opened, and Su Chen came out with the bloody head. His clothes were stained with blood and he stood there in the big tent. Outside, he looked at the soldiers surrounding him.

"Are you going to rebel too?!"

As he spoke, the head was thrown to the ground and rolled to the feet of a personal guard. Su Chen glanced at them and raised the roster.

The voice spoke.

"You should know who I am, but do you know why I want to kill him? This book is full of names of perverse people, him!" Su Chen pointed to the head at the feet of a certain soldier, "He is also among them, you I am a soldier of my father, receiving money and food from him to support my family, why would I become a thief?! Today I will kill this rebel, regardless of everyone, but there is a change in the city tonight. If the Marquis Mansion is not here, how can the Ding'an Army survive!!"

On the school grounds, Su Chen's voice resounded.

"Where is the Ding'an Army!"

The camp in the army was agitated, and groups of soldiers gathered.
