Chapter 194 Chapter 194 Who is the Assassin

At night, it was very dark, and the stars in the sky scattered faint light to the earth.

A dilapidated Taoist temple looks even more mysterious under the hazy starlight.

Four black shadows "swish..." crossed the weeds in front of the Taoist temple and entered the Taoist temple.

The leading man in black walked up to the face of the statue, and pulled away a stone, revealing a small stone, which he touched.

"What..."

The stone slab in front of the altar moved, gradually revealing a hole.

The four entered the dark cave one file at a time, and they walked straight along the cave.

After walking for a while, the cave became very spacious, and torches were still burning inside.

A man with a golden mask stands in the center, and two rows of people stand beside him.

"Cold Zuoshi."

The four walked forward and bowed to the golden-masked man.

"How are things going?" asked the golden-masked man.

"Forgive me, the left envoy. I have fulfilled the order of the Lord. I have not found any food." The man in black hurriedly bowed down.

"Well, the food and grass for the march are heavily guarded, and it is not an easy task to burn the food and grass. It's not your fault." The golden-masked man nodded.

"But Lingdu Cooling already thinks I'm Zhao Qingyu." The leading man in black raised his head.

"Are you sure?" the golden-masked man asked.

"I'm sure, Ling Duleng exclaimed 'Zhao Qingyu' when he saw the palm and saber techniques you taught me." The leading man in black replied.

"Well, very good, is Zhao Qingyu still missing?" the man with the golden mask asked;
"I haven't been able to find his whereabouts." The man in black shook his head.

"This is strange. Where will the three thousand elite soldiers and the three generals hide? Keep searching, and tell me immediately if you have any news. Don't startle the snake." The man with the golden mask said.

"Yes."

The man in black bowed and saluted.

"The thirteenth altar master, the master said, once this matter is done, you don't need to be the altar master of the No.13 sub-altar anymore, and the position of the silver left envoy of the main altar is yours."

"Thank you for the promotion."

The leading man in black hurriedly bowed and saluted.

……

South Vietnamese Army Command Battalion.

"Marshal, according to detailed reports, an assassin broke into the Kyushu Empire's barracks last night and wanted to burn the Kyushu army's food and grass."

Bai Zhaorui, left officer of the South Vietnamese Army, walked into Yingluo's tent.

"Well, Mr. Zuo Can, tell me who would want to burn the food and grass of the army of the Xu Kingdom?"

"Didn't you send those people there?" Bai Zhaorui asked doubtfully.

"No."

"Then who could it be? Who else is willing to get involved in this matter?" Bai Zhaorui was even more puzzled.

"I heard that Zhao Qingyu came back to take revenge." Commander Su Yun said.

"Master Su, what evidence do you have that Zhao Qingyu did it?" Ying Luo turned his head to Su Yun.

"According to the information from the detailed investigation, the palm technique used by the assassins is Jiutian Fengleijue, and the sword technique is Xuanzhen knife technique, and when they were about to retreat, they also said, 'Everyone, go with the prince'." Su Yun replied.

"This just shows that someone wants to use Zhao Qingyu's name to burn the food and grass of Xu Guojun." Ying Luo smiled slightly.

"Using Zhao Qingyu's name? Zhao Qingyu has already failed, what's the use of using his name?" Su Yun became more and more confused.

"I can't figure out the reason for this. Just think about it. Food and grass are the guarantee for the army to fight. They are heavily guarded. Zhao Qingyu took such a big risk to burn food and grass not long after he was defeated. Is there any benefit to him? Purely He doesn't need to choose this time for revenge; we are the biggest beneficiaries after burning food and grass. I don't think Zhao Qingyu's plan will be like this." Ying Luo smiled.

"Then who do you think the Marshal will be?" Su Yun asked.

"Who is this messenger? What is the purpose? I still don't know until now. From another aspect, we can guess that he is not Zhao Qingyu. Zhao Qingyu has been king for a long time, and everyone is used to calling him 'The King' ', how could it be possible to say, "Everyone, go with the prince"? This is clearly said deliberately, so this person is a person in the arena rather than an official. He is also used to addressing Zhao Qingyu as "the prince", but Don't call him 'The King'." Ying Luo said with a smile.

"The marshal is right, but who is this person? How could people from the Jianghu go to the barracks to burn food and grass?" Su Yun became more and more puzzled the more he heard.

"This person deliberately made Ling Duleng think that the assassin is Zhao Qingyu, he must have his purpose." Ying Luo said...

"Drive... drive..."

A few shouts of driving horses sounded, and five fine horses galloped on the wide official road.

Immediately came He Honggui, Ying Luo's subordinate officer, followed by four guards.

He Honggui's task is to hand over to Liu Haoran the winner of the marshal. This urgent envelope must not be lost in any way, even if it means losing his life.

He Honggui, who had been running for several days, saw Wu Du and heaved a sigh...

"Your Majesty, this is a letter from Marshal Ying. He told you that he must deliver it to you personally."

He Honggui presented the letter to Eunuch He who was beside Liu Haoyi;

Liu Haoyi took the envelope from Eunuch He, opened it, and read on the letter:

"Your Majesty, I ask you to write a few envelopes and arrange for several envoys to be sent to countries such as Xing State, Dan State, and Ning State to ask them for support."

Standing aside, Yang Shaogong kept observing Liu Haoyi's expression, and he saw Liu Haoyi frowned.

"Go back and tell Marshal Ying that I have read the letter."

After reading the letter, Liu Haoyi waved to He Honggui.

"Yes!"

He Honggui bowed and retreated after saluting.

"Your Majesty, what did Marshal Ying say?"

Yang Shaogong couldn't wait to ask when he saw He Honggui retreating.

"Marshal Ying asked me to write a few letters to seek help from countries such as Xing, Dan and Ning." Liu Haoyi frowned. He couldn't figure out why Ying Luo would ask him to write to Xing and Tan at this time. Seek help from Ningguo and other countries.

"Your Majesty, Xu Kingdom and Beiwan Kingdom have been at war for several years, and the treasury has run out of money, and the army will be exhausted; our country is now strong and the people are rich enough to compete with Xu Kingdom, why do we need to write a letter to ask them for support?" Yang Shaogong asked.

"The widows have also considered this point, but General Win must have his reasons for doing so."

"Ying Luo could have won the battle, but he asked you to write a letter to help the people of the weak country. Isn't this deliberately hurting your face and embarrassing you?" Yang Shaogong bowed to Liu Haoyi.

"Marshal Ying should not be that kind of person. He should have his reasons for doing so."

Liu Haoyi said so, but his heart was already shaken.

"Your Majesty, although Mr. Ying has made contributions to the Nanyue Kingdom, he has been a little arrogant recently. Your Majesty, no one is perfect. Since Mr. Ying is a human being, he also has his weaknesses and shortcomings. Your Majesty should be cautious in dealing with things."

"Well, I will seriously consider this matter."

"Your Majesty, if we write to Xing Guo and Dan Guo, will they send troops?" Yang Shaogong asked again.

"No." Liu Haoyi shook his head.

"Xing Guo and Dan Guo will not send troops. He will definitely know that he won the Lord, but he asked the king to send them a letter. Isn't this embarrassing the king? If so, why didn't he write it himself? , why do you want to ask the king to write?" Yang Shaogong took the opportunity to say.

Liu Haoyi paced back and forth in silence.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Ying has been arrogant recently, relying on his own talents to despise the ministers in the court. Your Majesty cannot let him go."

Seeing that his words had some effect, Yang Shaogong struck while the iron was hot.

Liu Haoyi remained silent, as if thinking about something.

"Your Majesty, are you still writing the letter? Please decide, Your Majesty." Seeing Liu Haoyi hesitated, Yang Shaogong asked.

"Write it, do it according to what General Ying wants." Liu Haoyi nodded.

……

Shouchunyi;
"Brother Ying, Xu Guojun has already camped near Tongbai Mountain and is approaching our South Vietnam border. The situation is critical. Your Majesty wrote to Xing Guo and Dan Guo and other countries. Will they send troops after reading the letter?" Tao Yilan asked.

"No." Ying Luo shook his head.

"Since they won't send troops, why do you still write to ask the king to ask them for help?" Tao Yilan was puzzled.

"Countries such as Xingguo and Danguo are grass on the wall. They will fall in that direction when the wind blows. They will not offend Jin Yuanhong because of us. In this troubled world, no one will trust anyone; but we We must make Xing Guo and Tan Guo feel that we are a friendly country and let them remain neutral." Ying Luo smiled.

"Oh, so that's the case." Tao Yilan seemed to understand something, and nodded...
