Chapter 76
In the early autumn, the fields outside Chang'an City already had some signs of a bumper harvest.It's just that when the army came to the evening, the slightly yellowed wheat was replaced by desolate fields.

"One year ago, there was endless wheat here, but after the grand master retreated to Chang'an, he was afraid that the eight princes would chase and plunder, so he let the soldiers set fire to it. Now weeds are overgrown and it has become a wilderness." Fan Jian sighed.

Chen Wei nodded, this is the so-called strong wall and clearing the field, he would rather kill and burn everything than leave anything useful for the enemy.That's what war is.

It began to drizzle slightly, but the army did not stop and continued to move forward.Chen Wei frowned, thinking of an astonishing plan in his heart.This plan took shape last night: he decided to sneak back to Chang'an tonight and kill Li Ru!And he also made arrangements in advance.

According to the itinerary, the army will stop and camp on the bank of the Yellow River fifty miles east of Chang'an City tonight, and will continue to advance in the early morning of the next day.And the time during this period is the gap that Chen Wei can take advantage of.But this plan had to be flawless. He had to create the illusion that he was staying in the army before he had the chance to return to Chang'an.Obviously, it's not enough to rely on yourself alone.

As it gradually darkened, large troops also began to camp along the river, setting up camp and lighting fires.

Chang'an City has long been left far behind, and the sadness of parting at the beginning has gradually faded away.Soldiers camped and cooked under the supervision of officers.

While everyone was busy setting up the camp, Chen Wei quietly found Sun Hou, and the two walked outside the camp.

"Sun Hou, I need to return to Chang'an tonight!" Chen Wei cut straight to the point.

Sun Hou was startled and confused, and said: "General, as the chief general, you left the camp without permission. If Yan Shou and the others knew, they would definitely say that you violated the military order..."

Chen Wei nodded solemnly and said: "I understand, so I need your help. As for the reason, I will tell you later."

Sun Hou was loyal to Chen Wei, finally agreed and said: "How can the general want you to help me?"

With his hands behind his back, Chen Wei looked at the vast wasteland after the rain, pondered for a moment and said: "Li Ru must have kept eyeliners in the army to watch my every move, first of all, I need to hide it from them..."

Sun Hou nodded.

Chen Wei suddenly thought about it and whispered in Sun Hou's ear.

Sun Hou's face turned serious.

... The night was getting darker, the rain finally stopped, and a bonfire was lit in the barracks.

Chen Wei, Sun Hou, Fan Jian, and some generals who were close to Chen Wei had dinner, while the generals headed by Yan Shou started their own cooking, and the generals in the army were already divided into two factions.

To Chen Wei's surprise, Li Ru's confidant Chang Yong also enthusiastically came to Chen Wei's side, but Chen Wei knew that Chang Yong was Li Ru's undercover agent who deliberately approached him.

If I want to sneak back to Chang'an, I naturally have to deceive him first.

During the meal, Chen Wei deliberately faced Sun Hou in front of Chang Yong and said, "Sun Hou, how about playing a few games of chess in my camp tonight?"

Sun Hou had received Chen Wei's order early, and smiled knowingly: "Please, General, be merciful."

"So the general likes to play chess?" Chang Yong smiled deliberately.

In order not to arouse the other party's suspicion, Chen Wei also talked to him very politely.

Chang Yong's eyes flickered, but his expression completely fell into Chen Wei's eyes. Chen Wei smiled slightly, knowing that the other party had been tricked.

After dinner, Yan Shou glanced at Chen Wei's side from a distance, and then led the crowd to leave alone.But it was in Chen Wei's arms, he and Yan Shou didn't want to see each other, so naturally he was not afraid of Yan Shou's sudden visit at night, which would help him return to Chang'an without anyone noticing.

It was late at night, and except for the guards who were watching the night, the soldiers went to the camp early to rest after a hard day's work.

Chen Wei's tent for the general was set up in the center of the army. Candles were lit inside the tent, and the shadows of Chen Wei and Sun Hou sitting in the white tent could be seen outside.But outsiders don't know that the person sitting in front of Sun Hou is a grass dummy.But the real Chen Wei slipped out of the barracks under the darkness, got into the jungle and disappeared into the night with the horses that had been prepared.

It's time for the second watch.

Under the night, Chang'an City is like a beast dormant on the plain. In the dead of night, there are occasional sounds of beating bamboo.

The streets of Chang'an city were still wet after it just rained. Suddenly, a convoy of nearly a hundred people drove out of the gambling house in the north of the city, and the sound of horseshoes shattered the tranquility of the night.Three groups of cavalry were in front of the convoy, three groups of cavalry were behind the convoy, and infantry in the middle protected the carriage in the middle.

In such a battle, the people in the carriage are naturally either rich or noble, with high status.

The night in early autumn was already seventy percent cool, and the convoy moved silently on the quiet and dark streets, under the gust of autumn wind, it was even more awe-inspiring.

After turning around the official road, the convoy protected by many guards came under the north city wall, and then drove along the city wall to the residential area of ​​the noble Houmen in the south of the city.

The sound of horseshoes echoed between the city wall on the left and the houses on the right, but no one noticed that Chen Wei, who was covered in black and covered his face with only one pair of eyes exposed, was watching their arrival on the city wall.

The night is dark and windy, with no stars and moonlight.

Holding a long sword and carrying a bow and arrow, Chen Wei quietly climbed down the city wall, and followed behind the convoy quietly like a ninja in black in a modern movie.

When the convoy started to turn, Chen Wei sneaked into a dark alley.Chen Wei had already figured out the route two days ago. This dark alley will lead directly to the intersection of the block, and this intersection is where the convoy must pass.

Chen Wei lay in ambush on the eaves, his eyes exposed by the black cloth on his face stared at the end of the street.For a long time, the end of the street was silent.Chen Wei couldn't help frowning slightly.But to Chen Wei's secret relief, a moment later, the sound of horseshoes came from the end of the street, and the convoy turned another corner and drove towards Chen Wei.

Chen Wei's eyes flashed coldly, he put the long sword beside his knees, and took off the bow and arrow behind his back!
But at this moment, the vanguard with the lanterns had arrived below Chen Wei's ambush and walked over.

There are five groups of cavalry in front, and the two cavalry in front hold lanterns in their hands to open the way ahead.Chen Wei took the arrow and drew the bow, but the direction the arrow pointed was not the carriage in the middle of the convoy, but the two cavalrymen who opened the way ahead.

When Li Ru's carriage came under Chen Wei's roof, Chen Wei stood up quietly and shot a sharp arrow in his hand!

The sharp arrow pierced the night sky and made a buzzing sound, which immediately aroused the vigilance of the convoy guards under the eaves.

"Puchi—" The arrow shot directly through the cavalryman holding the lantern, and fell off the horse with a miserable groan, and the lantern in his hand fell to the wet ground, extinguishing the fire.

But there was also a cavalryman holding a lantern in his hand, and Chen Wei couldn't help sighing secretly at this moment, if he had the three-shot arrow technique of the Gongyang Kingdom, he could shoot down two lanterns at once.

So Chen Wei had to draw the bow again, and with a whoosh, he shot down another cavalryman again.The two lanterns were all extinguished, and the street was suddenly plunged into endless darkness.

But also because of the gap between shooting two arrows, the guards had time to react. They quickly crowded around the carriage, the horses neighed in alarm, and the guards shouted that there was an assassin!

The guards around Li Ru were indeed different from ordinary soldiers. Although the situation was chaotic, they almost immediately protected Li Ru's carriage in the center.

The situation is becoming more and more critical.But Chen Wei had no choice, threw away his bow and arrow almost without hesitation, drew his sword out of its sheath, and flew down from the roof like an eagle flying in the night!

Because the lantern was extinguished by Chen Wei first, in the darkness, no one thought that Chen Wei would fall from the sky.Chen Wei landed steadily on the roof of the carriage. Before the guards below could notice, Chen Wei grabbed the hilt of the sword, with the point of the sword pointing down, and plunged it down.

Chen Wei tried to break through the roof and assassinate Li Ru quickly, but to Chen Wei's surprise, when the tip of the sword pierced into the hood, there was a metallic sound, and there was a steel plate between the roof, and because Chen Wei Due to the full force of the thrust, the blade couldn't resist the impact and broke in two.

Chen Wei couldn't help complaining, in order not to arouse suspicion, Chen Wei didn't use the sword that Zhuge Liang left for him, but the quality of the ordinary long sword completely deceived Chen Wei's father.

But at this moment, Chen Wei couldn't help complaining, the soldiers under the carriage all found Chen Wei on the roof, almost at the same time, the sound of bows and arrows kept ringing, and there were archers among the guards!
Chen Wei lay down in amazement, the rain of arrows like locusts shot over his head, pressing Chen Wei's whole body on the roof of the car, he didn't dare to raise his head at all.

Fortunately, the streets were pitch black, and the archers were afraid of accidentally shooting Li Ru in the carriage, so they finally stopped shooting arrows, and the guards under the carriage shouted loudly.

At this moment, Chen Wei jumped off the roof decisively, but the guards had already surrounded and killed him.

Chen Wei only had the broken sword in his hand, but he didn't take the lead in resisting the soldiers. Instead, he stabbed the broken sword into the horse's butt. The horse screamed and jumped in pain, and the carriage immediately shook violently.Li Ru in the carriage yelled in fright. Chen Wei heard Li Ru's voice, and his heart suddenly became murderous. At the moment when the soldiers hurriedly stabilized the carriage and were distracted, Chen Wei moved forward with his bare hands, using his signature Wing Chun boxing, It directly hit the temple of the guard closest to him. At the same time, his left hand suddenly reached out and grabbed the opponent's wrist. With a sudden force, the opponent's wrist was directly removed by Chen Wei, and the sharp sword in his hand was also taken away by Chen Wei. go.

The sword is in my hand, I have the world!Chen Wei's aura suddenly increased sharply, Jian Xiao suddenly rose, exerted his full strength, cast his killer, and directly entered the formation!
