The doctor's hand covers the sky: General, please accept the move

Chapter 54 Assassin
When the young general who went out to investigate came back, all he saw was the corpse of the man in black all over the place.There was no sign of Han Poli and the others at all.

Being pushed into the water suddenly, Xia Zhi could only hold her breath.

The emerald green river water is really the same as it looks from the outside, unfathomable.At least Xia Zhi hasn't touched the bottom since she fell into the river.Seeing the light on her head gradually disappearing, Xia Zhi dialed the water anxiously.

If you sink down, you may not be able to get up.

But when Xia Zhi turned the water away, she suddenly felt her ankle being pulled by something.Unable to go upstream, can only continue to sink.

The crunchy wrapping around her wrist disappeared somewhere, and Xia Zhi felt a hand grabbing her ankle.

"Hmm..." Pulling the dagger that Han Poli gave her, Xia Zhi slashed fiercely below her ankle, and a thick stream of blood immediately spread under her feet.

However, after one hand was dealt with, another hand held her, and this time it was pulled down even harder.

There was still a slight light above her head, Xia Zhi's pupils shrank, and when she sank further down, there was a huge reef.The chaotic refraction of light, just above the reef, is a sharp corner.As long as Xia Zhi is pulled there, it will be a dead end.

She has no internal strength, and the time for holding her breath is limited. If she can't surface before the breath in her mouth disappears, I'm afraid...

Thinking of this, Xia Zhi's originally chaotic heart became a little more anxious.But no matter how hard she tried, the thing holding her ankle restricted her movement.

Xia Zhi clenched the dagger tightly and slashed downwards.

Han Poli watched Xia Zhi being pushed into the river from before his eyes, and felt a wave of shock at that moment.

Although he followed Xia Zhi into the water now, but after diving into the extremely deep river, he didn't see her figure, and Han Poli was also a little anxious.

With cold eyes wide open, he carefully searched around, and after searching for a while, Han Poli finally found Xia Zhi.

The hair had long been draped and scattered in the water, the scene was like a dead body suspended in the water.

Han Poli's pupils shrank, and he accelerated his swimming speed, swimming to Xia Zhi's side and dragging her somewhat limp body.

Holding Xia Zhi in his arms, Han Poli turned his head and left.But before leaving, he didn't ignore the thick blood around Xia Zhi.

"Hmm." Xia Zhi felt that her breathing became more and more difficult, and she struggled to swallow. She didn't know what she caught, and Xia Zhi instinctively crawled to that place.

Then, Xia Zhi, who lost her will, suddenly felt something soft stuck to her mouth when she closed her eyes.

Opening her mouth slightly, she wanted more air from it.

Xia Zhi expended too much energy just now to cut that black hand open.

Han Poli saw that Xia Zhi could still take the breath from his mouth, and his heart gradually eased.Letting go of the tight lips between the two, Han Poli needed to use his last breath to float up with Xia Zhi.

Seeing that it was about to surface, the black hand that grabbed Xia Zhi's ankle before appeared again.In order to hold Han Poli back, the man couldn't help but increase the strength in his hands.

Han Poli's face darkened when he was blocked, he tightened his muscles, and suddenly lifted the strength of his legs trained by leapfrog before, and sent the man ashore directly.Then, Han Poli also carried Xia Zhi back to the shore.

All the soldiers who went to investigate have returned and waited on the shore.Without Han Poli's orders, a soldier from Fuhu Camp directly tied up the person who was thrown up by Han Poli, and removed his chin.

Han Poli put Xia Zhiping, who still had some faint consciousness, on the shore, his face was dark and ugly.

Not caring about his soaked clothes, Han Poli took the cloak handed over by the soldiers of the Fuhu Camp, wrapped Xia Zhi's body, and hugged her.

"General, there are a lot of traces of ambushes in the forest, but when we passed by, they had already withdrawn." Seeing that Han Poli was about to get on his horse and leave, a soldier of the Fuhu Camp immediately reported the situation of the previous survey concisely. give him.

Han Poli paused, and said in a cold voice, "Take everyone back and investigate carefully. Then send someone to inform the second prince that today's trip will be cancelled."

The ten soldiers responded and moved neatly according to the orders.

Like the wind and fire when they came, the figures of Han Poli and his party who left quickly disappeared by the river.Only a dilapidated boat was left wandering on it, and no one cared about it.

……

In an empty yard somewhere in the post station, a bunch of people suddenly appeared.Outside, in addition to the guards of the inn itself, there was also a group of soldiers in dark green military uniforms guarding it.

People passing by outside the yard lowered their heads, not daring to peek at what was going on inside.

Xiao Jue looked at the group of people kneeling on the ground with a sneer, her warm and jade-like complexion had long since been removed.A trace of cruelty flashed across his eyes, Xiao Jue said coldly, "Say, who sent you here?"

The people who bowed their heads on the ground trembled. Although they tried their best to hide it, everyone could see that they were pretending to be innocent, but in fact they had ghosts in their hearts.

In the end, a maid in a red dress spoke instead of everyone, "Please forgive me, Your Highness, we are all from Xicang, and we never dared to think about what to do to you."

Xiao Jue still had a sneer on the corners of his lips, and narrowed his eyes slightly. He looked at the most daring maid among these people, and said mockingly, "This is the first time this king has seen Xi Cang who speaks Dong Ling so fluently." People. If you are really from Xi Cang, how could you be called to serve in the station, and how could you be so familiar with these assassins?"

The maid's words were full of loopholes, so you don't need to think too much about who sent it.Who would be stupid enough to attack him at this time when he was on an envoy to Xi Cang.

Lowering her hands, Xiao Jue pinched the maid's chin with jade-like fingers, and lifted her head vigorously, "Tell me, is it my brother, or which brother sent you here? If you can tell the truth, I will forgive you." You don't die."

Today is the day when Xiao Jue and Han Po made an agreement to travel and play together.As early as the night before, the people in the inn were ready to go out early, but who knew that a group of assassins broke in early this morning before they even stepped out of the door.Fortunately, the Fuhu Ying sent by Han Poli was by his side, otherwise, with the superb skills of those men in black, I'm afraid Xiao Jue's people would be lost.

"Slave, I've been wronged..." The woman in red trembled, and under the fearful look on her pretty face, she felt a little charming.

Xiao Jue looked at the face of the woman in red, and there was a flash of trance in his eyes, but soon he returned to clarity, "I saw that group of people before they died, and cast a wave of hope on you. If it's not your accomplice, Then you explain to me, what's going on with their behavior, huh?"

The woman in red, who was still defending herself, suddenly gave up her resistance after hearing Xiao Jue's words.At this time, the fear in her eyes became more intense.

He said anxiously, "I said, Your Highness, this servant was originally from the General Chang's residence. As long as you spare me, I can tell you everything!"

Xiao Jue's hand paused, and then he let go of the woman's chin with satisfaction, "What's your name?"

"Servant, Hongxiu..."

When Xiao Jue got the answer, she beckoned her followers to come over, "Take them all down and interrogate me properly. As for that red sleeve," Xiao Jue narrowed his eyes slightly, and sneered, "Bring them to my room. "

Hong Xiu, who was being dragged away by the guards, lowered her head.The color of fear that had been showing before had long since disappeared, and no one could see it. There was a gleam of light in the eyes covered by the forehead hair.

Xiao Jue watched the entourage take everyone away, pondered for a while, then asked the entourage to send someone out to talk to Han Poli.

"Tell him that today's trip is cancelled, and come to see me at the station immediately."

……

Chang Jiu is wearing silver armor. Although he has reached a certain age, he still looks mighty when riding on the quilt.

With dark eyes staring ahead, Chang Jiu has a dark and sullen face, and the hand holding the rein is getting tighter and tighter.

He was left in the tent by Xiao Jue yesterday to talk about many things.Later, Xiao Jue was ordered to leave the barracks and take over the military power of the Eastern Territory in place of Deputy General Ke sent by Han Poli to suppress the riots in the Eastern Territory.

Although Chang Jiu himself understands that he is a pawn in the hands of the second prince, and also knows the importance of harvesting soldiers and horses in the Eastern Realm, but if he is asked to immediately give up Fuhu Camp and the entire garrison camp next to Xi Cang, Chang Jiu feels a little helpless. Accepted.

Are Xiao Jue's actions saying that his ability is not as good as Han Poli's, so he should be dispatched to the Eastern Realm? !

The muscles on his face were a little stiff, and he clenched his teeth for a long time. No matter how much he tried to convince himself, he couldn't bear that breath!
An entourage rode up to Chang Jiu's side, as if they didn't see his terrible expression, and the entourage replied, "General Chang, Vice General Shen was not arranged in this suppression army."

Hearing that Shen Huang wasn't following them, Chang Jiu frowned deeply.

This Shen Huang can also be regarded as his confidant.Because of his outstanding ability, Chang Jiu almost entrusts him with everything.As early as many years ago, he was worried about Shen Huang and Han Poli's identities, but now that many years have passed, Chang Jiu has long forgotten about it.

Shen Huang's running away now made Chang Jiu feel a deep sense of crisis.

Turning his head to order his followers, Chang Jiu said in a cold voice, "Go back and tie Shen Huang for me immediately. Don't worry about anyone's obstruction."

He frowned tightly, and Chang Jiu heard another answer from his entourage, and then told him another thing, "And what you ordered before, to interrogate all the people who serve the lady in the house. Later, after being tortured, None of those people have a problem, it's just one person missing."

"Who's missing?"

"A maid who served Miss from childhood, her name is Hongxiu."

Holding the reins tightly, the horse under him finally couldn't help pulling for a long time, raising its hooves and roaring.

There was a flash of panic in my heart, and Chang Jiu said coldly, "You said, the person disappeared?"
