Chapter eight hundred and seventy-fifth: assassination

The last assassin fell under Sima Kai's knife.

He chopped off the assassin's head with one knife. Then his legs became weak and he sat down on the blood-soaked grass.

This attack came so suddenly. If it weren't for their cautiousness and scruples along the way, if it weren't for the fact that these guards had experienced too many bloody battles in the Western Regions over the past few years, I'm afraid that this battle would really be here.

Even Xue Ping and his old servant drew their swords to participate in the battle.

A scream came from one side. It was Sima Kai's subordinates who grabbed a living mouth and were using some tricks to ask for confessions. The assassin was also tough and obviously was being treated inhumanely, but he had never expressed his feelings and said nothing.

Like a fish thrown ashore, Sima Kai took deep breaths, until he finally felt that he could breathe normally, so he stood up with a knife and walked to Xue Ping's side.

Xue Ping is bandaging his old servant.

Although the old servant is old, he is not a good man and a trustworthy woman. He was once a veteran of murderers. However, he is now old and lacks strength, but as an auxiliary force for combat, he is quite qualified. Xue Ping looks like a scholar Binbin, but how could he be a scholar without any power in a family like Yanping County Prince?

Xue Ping's body was covered with blood, but it was all from the enemy. The old servant was stabbed twice, and it was also wounded by flesh.

Seeing Sima Kai coming, Xue Ping tied the cloth strips hard, stood up, and bowed, "Thank you brother Sima. If it weren't for you, Xue Ping would have really become the fertilizer for this pasture today."

This is not wrong. If it weren't for the team of warriors who were specially sent by Sima Fan, just by Xue Ping, his old servants and several guards, Xue Ping would have probably died yesterday.

"Xue Dupu, these people are for you." Sima Kai said with a serious expression: "These people are not ordinary bandits? Looking at yesterday's situation, they simply want to protect your life."

Xue Ping smiled slightly: "It's normal. In the past two years, I have destroyed more than ten countries in the Western Regions and killed countless people. I don't know how many people have destroyed their families because of me. Now they are taking my life, which is no longer normal."

Sima Kai smiled and waved his hand, asking his subordinates to drag an assassin's body over. The man's coat had been stripped off, revealing his close-fitting clothes.

"As far as I know, this is the standard configuration of the Right Martial Guard. Several of these assassins are like this!" Sima Kai said seriously.

Xue Ping disagreed.

"The Right Wu Guard has fought everywhere over the years, and there are traces of them in the south and north of the desert. It is normal that some of their equipment fall into the hands of outsiders. This is not evidence." Xue Ping shook his head and said.

There was a sound of footsteps, but Sima Kai's two subordinates dragged the living over.

"He is willing to call me!" The two soldiers showed joy and threw their mouths in front of Xue Ping as if they were thrown into a rag pocket. The man's body was covered with scars, which were cut out by a knife, which was terrible.

"From the real trick, it can save your life." Sima Kai said coldly.

"I'll do it, I'll do it. As long as I can save my life, I don't want to die!" The assassin was obviously a little broken and started to cry.

Although Sima Kai expected, the next confession made him truly frightened.

According to this assassin, they were all subordinates of Zhang Jia, the Right Martial Guard, who came on order. The purpose was to kill Xue Ping and then disguise himself as being attacked by bandits.

Of course, they were not the real Right Martial Guard, but some thugs raised by the Right Martial Guard Zhang Jia. They were originally specially used to lure those real bandits, and then inform the Right Martial Guard of the Right Martial Guard, waiting for the right Martial Guard to kill the organization. This time they were ordered to come, and they didn't know who the person was going to attack, but just gave a portrait that they had to kill this person.

Sima Kai was sweating all over, and the old servant Xue showed anger on his face.

Zhang Jia naturally did not have the courage to kill a person like Xue Ping. The only thing that dared to let him do was another person who gave him an order.

Xue Ping listened to the confession calmly, then pulled out the sword from his waist expressionlessly, and stabbed the assassin's chest with one knife.

The assassin looked up at Xue Ping in shock, as if he couldn't believe it, Xue Ping killed him easily.

Xue Ping grinned and said coldly: "The story is well told, but there are too many flaws."

The assassin suddenly drew his sword and fell to the ground with blood bubbling in his mouth. He murmured for a few words. His body moved a few times, and there was no movement again.

Sima Kai was not too surprised by Xue Ping's killing of the assassin.

"Protector, we will enter the Ningxia area next. Why not change the route! Go to Gansu and meet General Li Cunzhong first and then discuss other things?" Sima Kai suggested.

"No need!" Xue Ping waved his hand, "Just follow the original plan and go to Ningxia. Brother Sima, clean up and let's go."

The bodies of brothers who died in battle were buried on the spot. As for the assassins, they did not have such good luck. They were directly abandoned in place, and naturally countless wild beasts would come over with the smell of blood and return these people to their original origins.

The group got up again, and Xue Ping leaned halfway against the wall of the carriage, thinking about it. On the other side, the injured old servant endured for a while, and finally couldn't help asking. "How did Dalang kill the living mouth and take it back, it is evidence."

Xue Ping couldn't help laughing: "This man is a dead soldier, he is not a member of the Right Wu Guard at all. He is full of nonsense, but he can't believe it even if he has a word."

"Ah?" The old servant was stunned.

"This place is hard to see people within a radius of a hundred miles. If Zhang Jia takes action, how could he send these insignificant thieves to come!" Xue Ping sneered: "An important function of Zhang Jia's right martial guard is to control the south and north of the desert. He is mainly cavalry under his command. If you want to kill us, a cavalry can easily make us disappear here silently. To be apart, of course, the fewer people you know, the better. How could Zhang Jia not send his confidant and direct descendants to send these unknown things to you?"

"Maybe Zhang Jia wants to kill someone afterwards. Maybe the cavalry of the Right Martial Guard will be hiding around at this moment!" The old servant opened the curtain and looked outside nervously.

"Don't worry." Xue Ping reached out and patted the old servant: "Stay at ease. I said that it was not Zhang Jia, it was not Zhang Jia. It would be more appropriate for the dead soldier to say that he was sent by Xu Ziyuan. But he said that he was Zhang Jia's person."

"Why is this?"

"Xu Ziyuan is Li Ze's confidant. Zhang Jia can be regarded as Li Ze's ally. I am also a well-known figure. If Li Ze really wants to kill me, how could he give up Xu Ziyuan and use Zhang Jia?" Xue Ping said lightly.

"Maybe Xu Ziyuan has no one in his hands!"

Xue Ping suddenly laughed: "Do you think the governor of a province can't even take out this little power? And don't forget that Li Ze has an inner guard! Moreover, the assassination method of the inner guard is not comparable to these three-legged cats. If the inner guard takes action, we would have died long ago and can still survive until now?"

"Since it's not Li Ze, who would want your life?" The old servant was a little confused.

A faint sadness surged on Xue Ping's face: "Some people want to use my death to put a shit basin on Li Ze's head. The assassin is a dead soldier. If he successfully kills us, he will naturally be a blessing. If he can't kill us, he will be used as a living agent for us. He may not have thought that I would kill him. Have you heard the few words he said before he died?"

The old servant was a little ashamed, "I am old and my ears are not very smart."

"Actually, I didn't hear it clearly, but I could hear where his accent!" Xue Ping let out a breath: "The man's accent is from Lingnan. When he confessed earlier, he spoke authentic Zhenzhou dialect. When he was about to die, he unconsciously spoke the most profound language in his memory."

"Lingnan?" The old servant was shocked. "This, this shouldn't be! Logically speaking, Dalang, you should help them more when you go back. Why do they take your life!"

Xue Ping lowered his eyelids: "Or, now I am not that important to them. If I could use a shit pot on Li Ze's body, it might be more calculated."

"How is this possible?" the old servant said angrily: "Dalang has always been the leader of the Emperor's sect. Otherwise, Li Ze wouldn't have driven you far away to the Western Regions. Have these people kicked the donkey in the head?"

Xue Pingzhan smiled: "They are all smart. How could they be kicked by donkeys in their heads? They just have other plans. So, now we really can't go to Gansu, we can only go to Ningxia. If we go to Gansu, it might be really dangerous."

"So that's it!" The old servant nodded repeatedly. "But Dalang, since this is the case, what's the point of going back?"

"I'm protecting the emperor." Xue Ping closed his eyes lazily, obviously not wanting to discuss this topic anymore.

There was nothing to say all the way. When everyone was about to set up camp, the earth suddenly shook. The people present were all with rich combat experience. When they heard this sound, they knew that a large group of cavalry had come. They were extremely panicked for a while. In such a place, there was no place to escape even if they wanted to escape.

In a blink of an eye, a team of hundreds of cavalry appeared in sight, and the banner of the Right Martial Guard suddenly appeared. In just a few breaths, the cavalry came to their eyes.
