Chapter 698: A Guest Today, a Prisoner Tomorrow

Busy teeth are dead——

The warrior, who was riding a yellow gelding and holding a machete, fell.

His yellow gelding could no longer run fast;

The machete will also be disoriented.

The whole process, from inserting the dagger in his waist to staggering back, to falling to the ground, to having his breath disordered and fainting, happened in the blink of an eye.

Even Huawan didn't react for a while, she was completely shocked.

However, there was no pause in the open action, and the long teeth were just an appetizer. What could really trigger the invasion of the southern barbarians was to kill the young master of the barbarians - Huawan!

Without a word, a fierce battle began.

Zhang Zuo's moves are not fancy at all, and his postures are not beautiful, but they are very simple and effective. With a dagger, he rushes, stabs, chops, and chops. Every movement is not sloppy, and only kills Huawan. .

Even though she grew up in a very martial ethnic group, Hua Wan's martial arts were not weak, but after Dou Ran experienced this change, Dou Ran faced a sudden backstab from a companion she regarded as a comrade.

For a moment, she was inevitably caught up in the strong murderous intention and the confusion of betrayal, and her body became quite stagnant.

In addition, he didn't have a weapon in hand, so he was immediately at a disadvantage when facing Zhang Zhang's desperate attack with bare hands.

Seeing that he couldn't dodge a move, the cold dagger had already hit his chest.

Hua Wan was completely frightened, and her entire mood was empty. She managed to resist for a long time with her bare hands, but finally failed to follow up. After parrying several head-on attacks, her feet became weak, her body swayed a few times, and she fell to the ground. .

In this way, when the dagger attacks, there is no chance to turn around or dodge.

If you are successful, you will definitely follow in the footsteps of busy teeth!

"Oops--"

The flower wand screamed anxiously.

The wind was as cold as ice, and the dagger in his open hand was about to swipe at Hua Wan's neck without mercy.

At this critical moment.

No one expected that Bao Sanniang, who was unconscious on the ground, suddenly raised her head.

A cold light suddenly appeared in her eyes, and her figure rolled up like a whirlwind, like a whirlpool that sucked people's lives. She kicked her open body directly from the side.

As Guan Suo's beauty, she and Guan Suo knew each other back then... but they wouldn't have known each other without fighting.

What's more, she has participated in a series of battles such as the "Hanshui Rescue Battle", and her agility is as fast as lightning... She kicked him at the softest part of his waist, and actually kicked him a few steps away.

turn out to be…

Bao Sanniang actually woke up very early.

People who practice martial arts are often better at resisting blows than ordinary people, but it's because Busy Tooth Chang and Huawan underestimated her ability to resist blows.

The reason why I kept pretending to be fainting was because I wanted to hear their plans, find out their identities, and then find a chance to escape.

Of course, along the way, Bao Sanniang also figured out why.

She could deduce that the dark-skinned woman was the daughter of the Barbarian King Meng Huo, named Huawan.

As for the burly man, he was her guard. His name was a bit hard to pronounce. He seemed to be called Busy Tooth Chang. Of course... his name didn't matter now, because he was dead.

And this is what makes Bao Sanniang most surprised and horrified.

Because, the plan here... Bao Sanniang has already heard about it, and some assassins will pretend to attack the general's mansion, and then use the number of rescued Shu troops to deduce the defense situation of the entire Chengdu and the entire Shu.

If this purpose is followed, their operation this time has been completed perfectly, which is enough to clearly detect the reality of Chengdu.

So...here comes the problem.

What's going on now? Which show is this being played in?

Aren't they a group of people?

Could it be...that this could involve internal fighting?

Is it a black man eating a black man?

Doubts, huge doubts shrouded Bao Sanniang's mind, but she had no time to react, because Hua Wan had fallen down, and the sharp dagger was already stabbing towards her.

——"If the barbarian princess dies in Chengdu, then, then..."

In the flash of lightning, Bao Sanniang's strange brain circuit miraculously thought about this point.

She didn't even have time to think deeply, she just felt that she had to save this barbarian girl, otherwise...otherwise, the Nanman would definitely avenge their princess, and the whole of Sichuan would inevitably bear this hatred, and the war in the rear would inevitably increase.

Just because she was thinking about this, Bao Sanniang quickly took action and forced Zhang Zuo back with a kick.

But obviously, because he had no weapons in his hands, even though Zhang Zhang was kicked, he calmed down and stood still again, looking at Bao Sanniang with anger and murderous intent.

"And there are companions? Humph..."

While talking, Zhang Zuo's dagger struck again. Zhang Qiying was afraid of another incident, so she also drew her sword and attacked Bao Sanniang with Zhang Zuo.

Zhang Yulan wanted to stop Zhang Qiying, but in the end, she couldn't stop her at all.

The dagger and sword struck again——

On the battlefield, every inch is long and every inch is strong, and every inch is short and every inch is dangerous. It is obvious... Bao Sanniang and Hua Wan, who are bare-handed, are definitely no match for Zhang Qiying and Zhang Zhu.

However, Bao Sanniang was experienced. Seeing the enemy approaching, the lime powder in her sleeves suddenly spilled out, and the white powder in the sky instantly blocked the enemy's sight.

Taking advantage of the enemy's loss of sight, Bao Sanniang didn't dare to fight with her bare hands, so she quickly picked up her flower garland and ran away through the door.

After a while, the lime powder dispersed. Zhang Qiying and Zhang Zhang opened their eyes. Zhang Zhang looked at the open door and shouted fiercely: "We can't let her go. Chase-"

As he shouted, neither he nor Zhang Qiying put away their weapons, but took steps to chase towards the gate.

Who would have thought that Zhang Yulan would stop them both.

Speaking of which, as a ghost woman, Zhang Yulan has the most noble status among the three of them.

But now, she has a look of sorrow on her face, "Didn't you say that as long as she sends a letter to the barbarians saying that Chengdu is empty, then... you will let her go? Why... why did you suddenly take action!"

Indeed, Zhang Yulan still has a kind heart, but she still cannot pass the test of kindness in her heart.

Just before taking action, she told Zhang Zhu and Zhang Qiying for the last time that she could not make a move and would not tell them the location where she finally met Hua Wan.

It was because of hearing this that Zhang Zhu discussed with Zhang Qiying and decided to temporarily agree to Zhang Yulan not to kill her as long as the news of Chengdu's emptiness could spread.

Then, there is the story that just happened.

"Aunt..." Zhang Qiying pursed her lips, feeling as if a child had done something wrong, but she still raised her head and said solemnly, "The order from the King of Wei from uncle was repeated... to kill this barbarian girl... We...how dare we disobey?"

Zhang Zhuze looked at Hua Wan and Zhang Qiying who had snatched their horses and ran away. He was worried. He roared loudly: "Ghost! King Wei gave a death order! How can this be negotiated?"

Having said this, he loudly said to Zhang Qiying: "Holy girl, take the ghost woman down and let her calm down..."

After saying that, Zhang Zhu pushed Zhang Yulan away and chased him out first. While chasing, he never forgot to shoot loud arrows into the sky.

It was obvious that he was seeking support from the ghost soldiers of the Five Dou Rice Sect.

At this time...

The sound of horse hooves "tapping" and "tapping" footsteps could be heard in the distance.

"Quick, the assassin is running this way——"

"Catch up—"

"Don't let one go—"

It turned out that the patrol army in the city was also chasing after him.

"Aunt... It's not suitable to stay here for a long time..." Zhang Qiying looked at Zhang Yulan.

"But..." Zhang Yulan wanted to say something else, but when the words came to her lips, everything was swallowed back into her stomach.

She has her persistence, but... Qiying and Zhang Zhu also have their own difficulties.

She could only helplessly moan sadly in her heart.

——"It's so good, how...how did it become like this!" 』

——"Why, why must we kill him?" 』

Before she could think deeply, Zhang Qiying had already pulled her out of the back door, where the horses had been prepared. With the sound of "dedede", the horses neighed, and the two of them drove away.

…

…

Get, get, get—

Get, get, get—

Today, the official roads inside and outside the city of Chengdu appear empty and lonely. It seems that because of the assassin's attack on the general's mansion, most people in Chengdu and even in the suburbs are hiding in their homes and dare not go out.

Occasionally, some people opened the windows, but they were choked back by the dust and smoke that flew up to two feet high.

Two horses came galloping one behind the other. In front was a white horse with high legs and long body, riding on it was a girl with sharp eyebrows and beautiful eyes. Behind was a bay red horse, with a dark-skinned woman leaning on the horse's back.

These two people are Bao Sanniang and Huawan.

However, at this time, there was an arrow stuck on the left side of Hua Wan's vest. Blood flowed from his vest on the horse's back and then to the ground, seeping into the official path.

This was hit by a crossbow arrow fired by the ghost soldiers of the Five Dou Rice Sect when they were chasing him. It was a credit to the fact that the vital part was not injured, but also the fact that the barbarians were already strong.

Even so, at this time, she still didn't dare to pull it out, for fear that once the arrow was pulled out, she would be unable to hold on and die immediately!

die? Huawan is not afraid!

Barbarians have concepts since they were young, so who wouldn’t die? However, if she dies, the person who killed her will be buried forever and go unpunished. On the contrary, the innocent Shuzhong will inevitably bear the anger of her death.

She had already left the city gate, and behind her, the fierce and vicious ghost soldiers of the Five Dou Rice Cult were chasing her.

When Bao Sanniang saw the arrow in the flower garland, she deliberately let the horse run slower and followed the horse as far as possible to the side and behind the flower garland.

Seeing this, Huawan chanted in a weak voice:

"Why did you save me?"

"Why is there so much nonsense?"

"Are all you Han people so kind-hearted?"

"Am I evil-minded? I wish I could kill you... But, given your identity, what will the barbarians think if you die in Chengdu? They will definitely send out troops to avenge you... When the time comes, lives will inevitably be lost. "

"so…"

Bao Sanniang's words touched Huawan a little, and she pursed her lips slightly.

Bao Sanniang immediately interrupted her, "Quickly...shut up!"

While she was talking, she did not forget to whip Huawan's horse's butt as hard as she could, causing the horse to run faster in pain.

Bao Sanniang also clamped her legs and sprinkled some white powder on an obvious stone. The stone immediately became white after applying powder. Even if the wind blew, it could not completely blow away the stone.

At this time Bao Sanniang pulled up the reins of the horse. The white horse's hooves flew forward, galloping forward——

In fact, at this time, Bao Sanniang was too eager to meet some Shu troops, even the city defense troops, but because of the rescue of the general's mansion, there were half a Shu army at the city gate and outside the city.

Some are just extremely vicious thieves who are approaching step by step——

——'Weizhi? Where did you die? 』

Just when Bao Sanniang was chanting so softly...

"Otherwise, leave me alone..."

Huawan has a tenacious temperament and is unwilling to harm others.

"Shut up..." Bao Sanniang muttered to her. Her serious expression was as if she was pinching her waist and ordering the other party: - Labor and Capital Shu Daoshan!

After all, it was because Bao Sanniang was not familiar with the terrain of Bashu, nor did she know where the official roads extending in all directions on the outskirts of Chengdu led.

She seemed to see something in the distance...

"Oops…"

She couldn't help but secretly say.

It turned out that what she came to was a dead end road, and at the end of the road was a hillside...

"Damn-"

Bao Sanniang groaned.

At this time.

"Da da da--"

"Da da da--"

The sound of horse hooves behind him was getting closer and closer.

"just in front--"

"Catch up—"

"Fire the crossbow directly, no matter life or death——"

…

…

The night was low, and a dim crescent moon hung in the sky, but it was blocked by a few wisps of residual clouds, revealing a mottled and weak light.

On the ancient road in Yangping Pass, Jia Xu and his son Jia Mu walked side by side.

Elderly people like to move before going to bed and stretch their muscles and bones. This will make them feel a little tired and sleep more soundly.

But at this time...

The cold wind blew by, bringing with it a biting chill. The ancient trees beside the road swayed in the wind, making a rustling sound, like a whisper in the night.

The atmosphere here suddenly became mysterious and profound.

"Father, the child has always had a question. During the day, there are too many people and he dare not ask his father. At this time..."

Jamu seems to have something on his mind.

Jia Xu knew his son was more like his father. From his eyes, Jia Xu could see something. He paused and carefully looked around the four states to make sure no one was eavesdropping. Then he asked his son, "It's me you want to ask." That’s the plan you proposed, right?”

"Sure enough, my father guessed it." Jia Mu said softly: "It is a definite fact that Chengdu is empty. Even if the barbarian woman did not send a message for a while, the southern barbarians did not go north, but as long as it is delayed for more time, the southern barbarians will It is bound to invade the rear, but instead...my father proposed to kill the barbarian girl to force the southern barbarians to go north. Although the strategy is good, if it goes wrong, wouldn't it be a stone's throw to the Wei...and the king?"

What Jia Mu wants to say in the last sentence is that it is obvious that doing nothing is a sure-fire solution, so why...why take risks?

Sure enough, everyone is happy, but...even if it happens, there is still a risk.

"hehe…"

Jia Xu interrupted his son's words with laughter, "Being able to think of this proves that you have made progress, but it's just that you have made progress, but unfortunately not much..."

When he said this, Jia Xu narrowed his eyes and looked around cautiously before opening his mouth.

"Let's not talk about whether to kill this barbarian girl... let's look at the situation in the world? In your opinion, in the end, will the world belong to Han? Or to Wei?"

"Does this have anything to do with it?" Jia Mu was puzzled, "This seems to be related to barbarian women..."

"I only ask you where you belong in the world, and you answer this!"

Jia Xu remained patient with his son.

Jia Mu paused for a moment and then said, "Dad has said before that the current situation... Luoyang returns to Han, the Emperor returns to Han. Even if Hanzhong is defended, the situation... Han still has a greater chance of winning."

"Hahaha..." Jia Xu smiled lightly after hearing this, and then continued, "That's why I specially offered the plan to kill the barbarian girl!"

ah…

Obviously, Jia Xu's words were confused and Jia Mu didn't understand them.

I didn't understand it at all.

Jia Xu said no more, "Hahaha..." He smiled and walked towards his house, humming softly as he walked. "The guest here today is imprisoned at his age... The guest here today is imprisoned at his age——"

The more he said this, the more Jia Mu couldn't understand.

This is totally irrelevant...

What is this and what?

…

…

Whip!

When Guan Suo arrived at the Military Advisor General's Mansion, Zhuge Liang had already sent someone to hand him the leather whip found in the alley opposite the mansion. The big word "Wei Zhi" on it was particularly eye-catching.

This whip Guansuo looks so familiar...

This book was given to Bao Sanniang by him. As for why the word "Wei Zhi" was specially inlaid on it, it was a little secret between them that was not suitable for children.

The number of times Guan Suo used this whip in one year... was eighty if not a hundred. He couldn't admit his mistake, and the word "Wei Zhi" couldn't be false!

"Young Master Guan Wu..." At this moment, Jiang Wan hurriedly arrived, "When we were searching the whole city just now, we heard the sound of fighting in a courtyard near the west city gate. When the soldiers arrived, they found a dead man. The barbarians...Zhuge Military Advisor has also arrived there!"

Hearing this, Guan Suo's eyes widened subconsciously...

"Take me quickly -"

…

Jiang Wan led Guan Suo to the courtyard.

An autopsy has already begun. Zhuge Liang is holding a feather fan and squinting as he listens to Wu Zuo's words.

"Report to the military advisor, there are two wounds on this body. One is where a dagger was inserted across the waist. This seems to be a fatal wound. The other scratch on the neck is more like a patch..."

As you say.

Zhuge Liang asked calmly: "Are you sure he is a barbarian?"

"Looking at the clothes and the animal bones on the body, we can rule out that he is a Di or a swine. Plus the skin color, he is probably a barbarian. He is inseparable and his status is not too low..."

Wu Zuo's words just came out.

Guan Suo had already broken in. When he saw the barbarian corpse on the ground, he was shocked at first...

Then he noticed that Zhuge Liang was looking at him, so he immediately swallowed his mouth and turned his hands towards Zhuge Liang, "Commander Zhuge... it was the junior's negligence and I didn't keep an eye on... otherwise..."

Guan Suo was originally asking for forgiveness...

Unexpectedly, Zhuge Liang waved his feather fan and said, "It's not your fault... I didn't expect that the power of the barbarians could penetrate to such an extent in Chengdu!"

at this time…

Zhang Yi hurried over, "Inform the military advisor, we have captured some assassins who attacked the military advisor general's mansion, but... we haven't asked anything from them yet, but... judging from their skin color and clothes, they are Han people, and some people recognized them. They are members of the rice thieves in Hanzhong——"

The rice thieves in Hanzhong are naturally the Five Pecks of Rice Cult.

And precisely because of the involvement of the Five Dou Rice Sect, the situation is now more complicated.

dead barbarian men;

The captured Five Pecks of Rice cultist…

The disappearing barbarian girl...what else?

The whole thing suddenly became confusing...

Just when Zhuge Liang was thinking.

"This is…"

Guan Suo suddenly discovered something, it was "lime powder" - yes, it was really lime powder!

Guan Suo couldn't help but his eyes widened, so much so that he subconsciously groaned.

"No way? It's not like that, right?"

Hearing this, Zhuge Liang couldn't help asking: "Weizhi? What are you talking about?"

Guan Suo's eyes were always staring at the thin layer of lime powder stuck to the ground and the water. He seemed to recall something...

That...that is a deeper memory than that "little leather whip"!

That was his first taste of... what is a woman? What is harp? What is lust? That is a memory imprinted in my heart——
