Mo Zhou hesitated, "But Master, we are sneaking into Daqi secretly. Do we really want to conflict with them?"

"Oh."

Shangguan Zhi sneered and looked out the window. "It's not uncommon to encounter dozens of bandits in the wilderness. They are just unlucky."

"What's more..." He turned around and said meaningfully: "I'm going to meet my old friend soon, so I have to give myself some bargaining chips."

…

Dense forest outside Xuzhou City Li Wanjing looked at the pale man in front of him with concern, "Father, why don't we go into the city and find a doctor to check you out and get some medicine."

General Li waved his hand and said, "It's okay. Going into the city now might disturb the people. Just call Lao Meng and ask him to give me a few injections."

Li Wanjing had no choice but to do as he was told, but he still muttered, "Just wait, I'll complain to my little sister when I get back to Beijing!"

General Li was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, "You dare, little bastard?"

At midnight, when everyone was very sleepy and relaxed, in the quiet woods where only a dozen people were on guard, someone suddenly shouted:

"There's a beast!"

“Ah——”

The sound instantly woke everyone up, and General Li immediately picked up his weapon.

After seeing the pairs of green eyes in the darkness, he shouted: "Quick, pick up the torches!"

The wolves were gradually approaching, and General Li clenched the spear in his hand.

“Ouch!”

With this howl, the wolves began to attack as if they had heard an order.

The speed was so fast that it caught people off guard. A soldier at the outermost edge was unable to dodge and was knocked to the ground by the wolf.

Just as the sharp teeth were about to bite off his neck, the wolf fell to the ground with a "puff".

"Thank you, Lieutenant General Li!"

Li Wanjing drew his sword and nodded gently at him, "Be careful!"

The wolves are still attacking.

“Ah…”

"ah!"

For a while, wailing and roaring were heard one after another...

After shooting a wolf with an arrow, General Li felt something was wrong as he looked at the wolves that were still moving forward. They were not afraid of fire?

And it's not a difficult hunting season, why are the wolves here? Doctor Meng approached under the protection of several soldiers, frowning, "General, there's something wrong with this wolf pack."

After carefully examining the bodies of several wolves, he said with a serious expression, "They were drugged and went crazy!"

Hearing this, General Li instinctively knew that they were targeting the prisoners, and shouted to Li Wanjing: "Guard the prisoner car!"

Li Wanjing and a few others ran towards the prison van.

A wolf pounced on him, and General Li deflected it with his spear, shouting, "The wolves have been drugged. There is a village three miles away, we must not let them pass!"

"yes!"

On the other side, Li Wanjing arrived with a few soldiers and found five masked men.

The two sides started fighting. The masked man attacked ruthlessly and every move was deadly, making it difficult for ordinary soldiers to resist.

But in a moment, only Li Wanjing was left facing the five masked killers.

Although his martial arts skills were good, two fists could not beat four hands after all. What's more, the other side had more people and they were all masters, so he was ultimately outnumbered.

Seeing that he was at a disadvantage, he dodged a hidden weapon, but another sword came towards him. Li Wanjing had no way to avoid it and could not dodge in time.

At the critical moment, several men in black appeared and blocked the sword.

Li Wanjing gasped for air, thinking they were another wave of forces, "Again? You are bullying the weak with your numbers, do you still have any shame?"

The man in black ignored him and walked straight towards the masked man.

"That's fine, you guys decide the winner first!"

Soon, the masked man was gradually defeated by the man in black.

Looking at the black-clad master who suddenly appeared, Xiao Shi broke out in cold sweat on his forehead. Who is he?

Suddenly, he groaned, and beads of sweat the size of beans fell from his temples. He took a step back and covered his shoulders, and bright red blood flowed out through his fingers.

Xiao Shi glanced in the direction of the prison van, then gave a look to his companions.

The distance is still too far.

Afterwards, several masked men continued to rush forward as if they were risking their lives, slashing around with swords indiscriminately, giving people the feeling that they were struggling to death.

Xiao Shi took the opportunity to quietly approach the prison van.

Noticing his movements, Li Wanjing turned around, took a few steps forward, and placed his sword on his neck, "Stop!"

Unexpectedly, when Xiao Shi raised his hand, several hidden weapons flew out from his sleeves, and the others had no time to stop him.

All they could do was watch helplessly as the person in the prison van was shot in the back and fell down.

Soon, several other masked men were also controlled.

Li Wanjing's eyes were cold and he asked sternly, "Who sent you here?"

Xiao Shi looked at him and sneered, "I won't tell you."

Then he crushed the poison in his teeth, and almost at the same time, the other four masked men fell down with foam at the mouth.

"snort!"

Seeing this, Li Wanjing angrily thrust his sword into the ground, "How loyal!"

His sight fell on the men in black, and he bowed his hands to express his gratitude, "Thank you for your help, and please tell me your names. The Li family will definitely reward you handsomely in the future!"

The mission was not completed. An Wu gave him a displeased look and said, "No need to thank me. Think about how to explain it first."

An Yi shouted, "Old Five!"

Hearing their words, Li Wanjing's eyes became more scrutinizing. He drew out his sword and held it in his hand. "Who are you?"

Seeing his alert look, An Yi took out a dragon-shaped jade pendant. Li Wanjing knelt down quickly upon seeing this.

"Lieutenant General Li, there is no need to do this. We are just following orders. The master has already received news of the assassination and ordered us to come to help."

"Unfortunately, it's still a step too late."

Li Wanjing quickly waved his hand, "No, it's not too late!"

As he spoke, he leaned forward and whispered, "This is fake. It's just an ordinary death row prisoner. The real spy is secretly escorted by Zhao Hujun."

Hearing this, several people looked at each other and asked, "Where is it?"

…

After a fierce fight, the wolves gradually fled into the depths of the forest.

General Li leaned on the ground with his spear and gasped for breath. "Send someone to inform the Xuzhou government office to strengthen patrols and not let the wolves hurt innocent people."

Then he asked the doctor to stay and treat the wounded, and took a few people straight to the prison van.

Looking at the bodies of the assassin and the criminal, he saw his eldest son standing there in a daze.

General Li suddenly felt very angry. He raised his hand and slapped Li Wanjing on the head, staring at him.

"Such a big thing has happened, and you are still standing here like an idiot!"

“Ouch!”

Li Wanjing cried out in pain, rubbed the back of his head, and smiled ingratiatingly, "Don't be angry, these five people are all masters, I am lucky to be able to save my life."

Neither the father nor the son noticed that among the soldiers who came behind, one of them had a flickering look when he saw the prisoner's body.

"You still dare to quibble!" General Li raised his hand again.

Seeing this, Li Wanjing took a few steps back and said, "I'll go help!"

"stop!"

General Li said loudly: "Li Wanjing failed in his duty and caused the spy to be killed by the assassin. Considering that the incident happened suddenly, it is still excusable. Go and receive twenty military sticks!"

"What?!" Li Wanjing widened his eyes.

General Li walked over, patted him on the shoulder, looked at him deeply, with a trace of guilt in his eyes, and said, "If you want to act, you have to act the whole way."

In the darkness, someone sneaked away from the main group and walked behind a big tree.

A moment later, a white dove flew across the dark night sky.

After doing all this, the soldier turned around and saw a dagger across his neck.

…

Looking at the host who was smacking his lips and seemed to be having a sweet dream, the system chose to quietly go offline.

Anyway, nothing serious happened, so why not just not talk about it?
