Ka-cha! * A head fell to the ground. "Pu!" Plasma spray. The corpse that was suspended in the air shook a few times and then slowly turned soft.
With no one calling the commander, the four people who were pulling on their chains all released their grip, dropping the corpse onto the ground. They quickly walked up, retrieved their sabers, and began to look for their next target.
The leading Hidden Arrow Crew walked to Qing Yu's side, cupped his hands, and said: "General Qing Yu, I was late, and had scared the general."
Tang Yin did not just send Hidden Arrow Crew to Xiao Muqing's side, there were also a large number of hidden arrow elites to Zi Ying and Qing Yu's side. The one in charge of protecting Qing Yu was the second group leader, Zhang Xiao.
Qing Yu exhaled deeply and forced a smile: "Master Zhang is being too polite, if not for you rushing over in time, I would have died at the hands of the assassins."
While speaking, he frowned his delicate eyebrows, looked at the corpse on the ground with its neck strangled, and then said to Zhang Xiao: "Master Zhang, try your best to capture him alive, maybe he will be of use to us."
Zhang Xiao bowed: "Yes! General Qing Yu, I know what to do. "
Although Qing Yu was a man, his long hair was even more delicate and beautiful than girls. At this moment, he had just received a fright, and could only be described as beautiful beyond belief.
As the hidden arrows joined in, more and more Feng Army rushed over and surrounded the assassins. Gradually, because the remaining ten assassins were outnumbered, they couldn't hold on much longer.
In the midst of the fierce battle, although there were some casualties in terms of Feng Army, the assassins weren't any better off. Five of them fell to the ground, and the remaining five also died, either from their blades or arrows, and were barely holding on.
The more they fought, the more people they saw, and the more people they saw, the fewer assassins there were, and they were almost completely submerged in the sea of people in the Feng Army. In that situation, even if they tried to escape, it would be difficult, but none of the five people surrendered, and they were all gritting their teeth and holding on.
Zhang Xiao retrieved the Spiritual Knife that he threw out and shouted at the five assassins, "All of you have been surrounded. Those that do not wish to die, put down your weapons.
No one replied him. The five heavily injured and exhausted assassins tightly gathered together, looking at the many Feng Army s around them, then looking at each other, dispersing the spirit armor on their bodies, then taking out Pill s from their bosom and stuffing them into their mouths.
"Stop them ?" When Zhang Xiao realized that something was amiss, it was already too late to stop them. After the five of them swallowed the Pill, only a few seconds had passed before they started bleeding from their mouths. Soon after, the five of them went limp and fell to the ground.
Zhang Xiao rushed forward, first reaching his hands out to feel the breathing of the five, then grabbing their wrists to check their pulse, finally he stood up and shook his head helplessly.
At this time, the crowd parted, and Qing Yu walked out from the crowd. His gaze landed on the corpses of the assassins, and asked.
"Consume the poison and commit suicide." Zhang Xiao quite admired these assassins in his heart. They were so straightforward when they understood his life, and didn't even think about it, as if they were doing something that had nothing to do with him.
Qing Yu walked up to the corpse and looked around slowly. At the same time, he raised his hand and said to the officers around him: "All armies, gather your troops from now on, check and see if any thieves have snuck in. Also, double sentry, double sentry, and inform everyone else, changing every hour."
"Yes!" "General!" The generals that had rushed over cupped their hands in greeting.
"Also, send people to notify Pingyuan Army and Heavenly Eagle Army. You must be careful of sneak attacks by assassins."
"Yes sir!"
"Also, throw the corpses of these assassins back into the Divine Pool, so that they can see clearly, this is the result of plotting to kill!" Qing Yu fired orders at the commander continuously.
"Yes sir!" The generals nodded their heads as they memorized Qing Yu's orders one by one.
It was destined to be a sleepless night. Qing Yu escaped death and returned to his own tent. Before his butt could even get warm, he received a message from the Heavenly Eagle Army that although Zi Ying's life was in no danger, he was heavily injured and probably could not stay in the army camp any longer. He had to go to the back to recuperate.
When Qing Yu heard of this news, he secretly stamped his feet. Due to Zi Ying's injuries, the group of Heavenly Eagle Army had no leader, so they could only temporarily withdraw their Divine Pool. Their forces had suddenly been reduced by more than thirty percent, so who would be able to fill the gap that was left? Even if the imperial government immediately sent out troops to assist them, they would still need time. Would there be any more accidents during this period of time?
's injury was already worrying enough, but at dawn, news came from the Chuan Camp again. The two commanders of Chuan Army, Wei Heng, and Jin Zhuo had both been assassinated, and their injuries were unclear right now.
The Feng Country and Chuan Country and army combined six hundred thousand people, and had already completely surrounded the Divine Pool, and had also predicted that the Divine Pool would definitely use the strategy of capturing thieves and kings, but it was just that it could not be prevented. The generals of the two armies were ambushed one after another by assassins, and three of the five were already injured.
Feng Country, Zhenjiang.
After receiving the message from the Divine Pool, Tang Yin's mood had been shrouded in a haze for the entire day. Zi Ying, who was such a cautious and prudent person, was able to get ambushed by an assassin. Qing Yu had only gotten away with it because he was lucky. What if there was an accident again?
The next day at Morning Meeting, Tang Yin passed the message over to the ministers for reading, and then said: Zi Ying is severely injured now, so we can only return. Everyone, speak, what legion can we send out to replace Heavenly Eagle Army?
The ministers looked at each other, but no one said anything. If it was a normal expedition, the worst that could happen would be if the warriors below died, and against the Divine Pool, the warriors below would be fine, the most dangerous being the commander in chief.1
The Chiliarch s were easy to obtain, but hard to find. There were only a dozen or so generals in the Feng Country, if all of them died, who would be able to lead the Generals And Soldiers of Feng Army to battle in the battlefield?
Seeing that everyone had their heads lowered and did not say a word, Tang Yin raised his eyebrows and asked: Could it be that you can't choose an army that can replace Heavenly Eagle Army?
"Great King!" Zhang Zhe stepped out and said: "This subject believes that besieging the Divine Pool is an unwise move. It is too dangerous and the results are meagre."
Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Tang Yin impatiently knocked on the table and said: "Master Zhang, can't you give us some meaningful advice? If we do not siege the Divine Pool, are we supposed to directly send troops to attack? " What nonsense! He muttered in his heart.
In Zhang Zhe's opinion, it was safer to directly attack than to surround and not attack. He still wanted to speak, but at this time, Liang Qi walked out and introduced himself: "Great King, this lowly general is willing to lead Sanshui Army towards the Divine Pool to take over the Heavenly Eagle Army."
Seeing Liang Qi come forward to submit, Tang Yin's expression immediately eased up, and said worriedly: "Sanshui Army has long been in battle, and has only been recuperating for a period of time, and is about to go out to battle again, is that alright?"
Liang Qi said in a serious tone, "Your Majesty, don't worry, this general will not fail his mission!"
"Mm ?" Tang Yin fell into deep thought, and did not reply immediately. He was also considering to send Liang Qi to the Divine Pool.
Amongst the commanders of Feng Army, the ones he valued the most were Xiao Muqing, Liang Qi and Zi Ying. Zi Ying was already injured, and now that he placed both Xiao Muqing and Liang Qi in his Divine Pool, his intestines would turn green from regret if anything happened to the two of them.
Seeing Tang Yin's expression change from time to time, Liang Qi more or less understood some of his thoughts. He said in a serious tone: "Great King, this time when I go, I will definitely take extra care. I will definitely not give the Divine Pool assassins the opportunity to do so."
Tang Yin laughed bitterly, was Zi Ying not careful enough? To defend against an assassin with Divine Pool, one must be careful was not enough.
Seeing that Tang Yin was still hesitating, at this time, Ren Xiao who was standing at the back walked out, and cupped his hands to Tang Yin and said: "If Your Highness is not worried about the safety of General Liang, then let this one accompany you!"
Hearing this, Tang Yin's eyes lit up. With Ren Xiao protecting Liang Qi, that would definitely be the best. But, with Ren Xiao being alone, how many experts in Divine Pool could he handle?
Ren Xiao paused for a moment, before continuing, "If Mr Chang is able to go as well, then there's no mistake at all."
Although Chang Feng was Huangfu Xiutai's disciple, but he had the momentum of a madman in the Spirit Martial Realm, considering the current situation, Chang Feng's strength was not as strong as Huangfu Xiutai, but the distance between them was far from what people imagined. The reason why Ren Xiao recommended Chang Feng, was because it would ensure Liang Qi's safety, and also because Chang Feng was around, his heart was much more confident.
Tang Yin thought for a while, then revealed a smile, nodded and said: "Alright, let Sanshui Army take over. Also, Young Master Ren and Mr Chang will go with Sanshui Army!"
"Yes sir!" Liang Qi and Ren Xiao clasped their hands in response, and then retreated back to their original positions.
After the assembly was over, Tang Yin called for Liang Qi, Ren Xiao and Chang Feng to come over and carefully exhort them.
The matter of Zi Ying's assassination was a grievous news to the Feng Country but at the same time, there were some people who were very excited.
Yuan Qianyi's four maids could not suppress the joy on their faces and quickly walked into the hall of Golden Ning Palace. After arriving close to Yuan Qianyi, Chun Er excitedly said in a low voice: "Miss, something happened in front of the Feng Army, it's said that the Heavenly Eagle Army's commander, Zi Ying, has been assassinated. It's said that his injuries are serious, and his Heavenly Eagle Army is about to evacuate.
After she finished speaking, Yuan Qianyi's body suddenly trembled, he raised his head and asked: "Really?"
"Of course! I heard from the guards in the Great Hall that the information is absolutely reliable. "
Chun Er said in a serious tone: "How reckless of you dare to move your troops against Divine Pool, you deserve to die. Miss, we have to move a little faster, if not, if Holy King is going to scold us, we will all be punished."
