There was a loud bang, and the black-clad assassin who was close at hand screamed and flew backwards.
However, Zhao Hao did not relax at all. He raised his leg and took out a dagger, then rushed forward and cut off the assassin's two arms.
The assassin wailed miserably on the ground.
Zhao Hao squatted on the assassin and looked back at Li Yu who was already frightened.
"Go call someone!"
Li Yu was so frightened that her whole body was shaking, as if she had lost her soul.
Zhao Hao sighed, stood up and took a breath, put away all his things, and walked towards Li Yu.
Only when Zhao Hao held her in his arms did Li Yu finally come to her senses.
"Sir, are you okay?"
"Are you hurt?"
As he said this, he was about to break free from Zhao Hao's arms and check if he had any injuries.
Zhao Hao quickly hugged her again: "Don't worry, I'm fine."
As the two were talking, Wu Song came running over with a group of guards.
"Young Master..."
"Don't worry, I'm fine. The guy is not dead yet. Take him back and interrogate him carefully to find out who sent him."
"yes!"
Wu Song was relieved to see that Zhao Hao was fine, and quickly asked someone to bring the black-clad assassin back.
Seeing that Li Yu was still trembling, Zhao Hao simply picked her up and walked back.
As soon as he came back, King Xiaoyao came out quickly to greet him: "I heard that the Marquis was assassinated just now?"
Zhao Hao nodded and gently put Li Yu down.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, it has been dealt with. It's nothing serious. It's just that the princess was frightened."
King Xiaoyao nodded slightly: "I'm glad that my Lord is alright!"
Zhao Hao said, "Your Majesty, I will take the princess downstairs to rest first."
At this time, Li Yu had calmed down. After bowing to King Xiaoyao, she returned to the yard with Zhao Hao.
As soon as she entered the room, she threw herself into Zhao Hao's arms and started crying.
Zhao Hao patted her back gently and comforted her for a long time before she calmed down.
At this moment, Wu Song said outside: "Sir..."
Zhao Hao patted Li Yu's shoulder and said, "Your Highness, please take a rest first. I'll be back soon."
As Zhao Hao stepped out, Wu Song said, "Sir, the assassin is dead."
"Dead?"
"Yes, he hid poison in his mouth. He probably wanted to see if he could get away with it."
"After being brought to the meeting by us, he swallowed the poison directly."
"He died before we could even interrogate him."
"However, judging from his determination, he must be a death warrior, specially trained to carry out this kind of mission."
Zhao Hao nodded: "Forget it, if he dies, he dies. I was indeed a little careless today."
"This assassin must have come here with us."
"I hid until today, and he finally caught me."
Wu Song said, "Sir, don't take such risks next time. Your safety is of vital importance to both countries."
Zhao Hao nodded again: "Don't worry, Brother Wu, I understand."
After a few simple words, Zhao Hao turned around and went back into the house to accompany Li Yu.
The next morning, the convoy left the headquarters and returned to the imperial capital.
Zhao Hao didn't let Li Yu leave, and followed him back to the villa.
Seeing the blue bird, Zhao Hao immediately said: "Give the order and prepare to leave the imperial capital of Shu."
The bluebird asked, "Did the kite you tested, Lord, succeed?"
Zhao Hao nodded: "It's successful. I have already made an agreement with King Xiaoyao to send 3,000 soldiers to escort us back to the country."
Bluebird asked quickly, "My Lord, when are we leaving?"
Zhao Hao turned his head and glanced at Li Yu, and said, "Three days later!"
The bluebird nodded and turned away.
Zhao Hao took Li Yu back to the courtyard where they lived.
As soon as he entered the room, Li Yu hugged him tightly again.
"Young Master..."
"It's inconvenient to take you with me this time. I'll send someone to pick you up when I get back to Dagan!"
"I know……"
As she spoke, Li Yu's eyes turned red again.
Three days later, a huge army of 3,000 troops escorted the Dagan delegation and left the imperial capital of Shu.
At the same time, a grain team of only fifty people, under the name of a business, also set out from the imperial capital and headed southeast.
In the carriage, an old man and a young man were talking.
The old one is none other than King Xiaoyao.
The youngest one is Zhao Hao.
King Xiaoyao said: "My 50,000-man army from Huaixi has already set out. In about three or four days, we will be able to reach the area between Yucheng and Yuanyang, and set up an ambush as quickly as possible."
Zhao Hao nodded and said, "Your Majesty, has the military order been issued?"
King Xiaoyao nodded slightly: "The former Japanese king has ordered 50,000 troops to move from Yucheng to Dagan's Tongcheng."
“In the same three or four days, we will be able to meet at the border.”
Zhao Hao said, "Your Highness, are you really going to go to Tongshan with me and not personally command the interception of Yuanyang and Muchuan?"
King Xiaoyao said calmly: "Shu Kingdom has not fought for many years, let's leave this time to their young people."
"It is not a good idea to keep them under my wing forever."
"Also, this interception can fail, but the siege of Tongshan must be lifted."
“As long as Da Gan can turn the situation around, Yuanyang and Muchuan will be able to take it sooner or later.”
"If I don't go, I'm afraid these 50,000 soldiers will not be able to truly cooperate with your Dagan army's counterattack."
Zhao Hao nodded: "Your Majesty is right."
If King Xiaoyao was not in charge of the 50,000 Shu troops, who knows what weird things might happen.
Now, with King Xiaoyao going with us, there will be no more problems.
Of course, this also meant not letting Zhao Hao play any tricks, after all, it involved the method of making a sky-high bomb.
The team traveled day and night and had no problems along the way. Finally, three nights later, they arrived at the border between Shu and southern Dagan.
The next day, the shadows of the Shu army appeared on the official road.
The general leading the troops was named Chen Zhan, a big man in his forties.
King Xiaoyao introduced Chen Zhan to Zhao Hao. He was once a soldier under King Xiaoyao.
He doesn't have any background and was promoted step by step.
Therefore, for the general, seeing King Xiaoyao was just like seeing his own father.
That respect and fanaticism.
It's incredible.
The army did not stop at all. It crossed the border and quickly rushed towards Tongshan.
In the carriage, Zhao Hao reminded: "Your Majesty, you still have to be careful. The coalition forces should have received news that the army is supporting Tongshan."
King Xiaoyao nodded and said, "Don't worry, my Lord. The road to Tongshan is extremely rugged. Even if Wu wants to stop us, it doesn't have the conditions."
Seeing that the other party had already considered this, Zhao Hao didn't say anything more.
Anyway, he really knows nothing about military affairs.
Talking too much will make people disgusted.
After returning to his own carriage, Zhao Hao lay down to rest, while Qingniao sat beside him, looking at him straight with a frown.
Zhao Hao couldn't help but ask: "What happened to Miss Bluebird?"
