Prime Minister take care

Chapter 312 Second-rate general
The spring rain falls, crackling, hitting the camp.

As the sun sets, the evening breeze carries the feeling of spring and penetrates into the tent.It was cold in the mountains and there was a brazier burning in the tent, but Cai Yun felt a little anxious.

In front of the officials of Chu State, Cai Tong expelled him from Ying City and asked him to lead three thousand soldiers and horses to destroy the bandits.

The bandits are different from the Chu army. They have no armaments, no supplies, and low combat power, but they are better at mobility.

Cai Yun had always thought so in the past, but his experience of killing bandits in the mountains these days had completely changed his perception.

This group of bandits only has a few hundred people, but they are very powerful.They never confronted Cai Yun head-on, but they made sneak attacks from time to time.

They led Cai Yun around the mountain several times, making the Chu army restless.

The most important thing is that Cai Tong said that Cai Yun would not be allowed to return to the city until the bandits were wiped out.Now, everyone in Yingcheng is looking at this young master and his results.

Zhe Chong's army returned home in large numbers, but most of Chu's troops were mobilized to Xiangcheng to deal with Liang's army.Ying City was empty, so Yun Qu responded to Cai Tong's order and stationed [-] troops outside Ying City to guard against the Shu army.

This news made Cai Yun even more anxious.With Cai Ji inside and Yun Qu outside, the two brothers and sisters unite, with disastrous consequences.Cai Yun wanted to return to Yingcheng as soon as possible, but his footsteps were blocked by this group of bandits and he was unable to escape.

"Come on!"

Cai Yun shouted and approached a soldier from outside the tent.

"Sir, what are your orders?"

"Have the spies sent out at noon returned?"

"not yet."

"Understood, let's go!"

Cai Yun's expression was a little surprised.The military and political affairs of the Chu State were all controlled by Cai Tong. Although Cai Yun could not intervene, he had commanded troops and fought in battles.

After all, living in troubled times, learning to march and fight is a compulsory course for a prince of a country.

Although Cai Yun's marching battle was not outstanding, nor was he considered a first-rate general, but he could barely squeeze into the second-rate, and he could be considered a strong general.

But these days of fighting against this group of bandits, Cai Yun also felt that this group of bandits was not simple.

They are neither greedy for money nor afraid of death, and they are flexible in combat. There are only a few hundred people, but they treat Cai Yun like a fool and seem to intend to contain him here.

What exactly is going on?

Cai Yun had so many doubts in his heart that he didn't even eat the food sent by his subordinates.After wandering around the camp for a long time, I don't know how much time passed, but I suddenly felt hungry, and then I remembered that I hadn't eaten yet.

"Come on!"

Cai Yun wanted to ask the soldiers to heat up the food, but no one came in.

"what happened?"

Cai Yun walked to the door of the camp and just kicked it off, but he smelled a strong smell of blood, and a huge sense of crisis hit his heart. He turned sideways and stood up like a carp.

When he stood up again, he saw three crossbow arrows piercing the camp door.

The whistling wind carried moisture and blew into the camp tent. Cai Yun pulled out the sword at his waist and eagerly stirred up the brazier.

The flames burned the tent, but because of the spring rain, the fire was somewhat weakened.

Cai Yun never believed that the assassins could kill all the three thousand soldiers in the camp. As long as the people outside the tent noticed something unusual, they could come over.

"Cai Yun burned down the camp, what should I do?"

"Even if he doesn't burn, we don't have much time. At most, the patrolling soldiers will come and kill him in a moment."

The assassins did not conceal their murderous intent at all in their words, and they rushed in quickly.Cai Yun clenched his sword and looked at the three assassins who rushed into the camp.

"Who ordered you?"

What greeted Cai Yun was not an answer, but the assassin's cold blade.

The seal script formed a rhyme, surrounding the whole body, and the dagger stabbed with strong pressure.

Real aura?
The strength of these three assassins exceeded Cai Yun's expectation. He waved his sword to block them and barely managed to deal with them with the same technique.In the camp, golden light was seen splashing everywhere, and spiritual energy burst out.

Soon, the half-burned tent burst into pieces, and while Cai Yun was resisting, he also received a dagger on his body.

Cai Yun was not wearing armor. The dagger cut through his skin, dripping with blood. The wound was washed away by the rain. After experiencing the initial sting, he felt a little numb.

Cai Yun has lived for so many years and has never been in such a situation and felt such a threat.The raindrops made his vision blurry, but the feeling in his chest became clearer and clearer.

The surrounding soldiers noticed something strange and rushed here one after another. However, they were blocked and killed by the assassins who had already been hiding near the main tent.

This group of assassins had a clear division of labor. As they were exposed, the three assassins around Cai Yun became more aggressive.

Cai Yun was weak on both sides and gradually lost the fight, with several more wounds on his body.Cai Yun also practiced in the Shenxiao sect for a period of time when he was young, and these three assassins also inherited the art.

Cai Yun's cultivation level is higher than any of the three assassins, but in terms of actual combat, he is far inferior to them.

When the dagger struck, Cai Yun could clearly see the splash of water on it.He wanted to escape, but found two other assassins coming from both sides.

Oops!

Cai Yun's pupils suddenly contracted, and his heart expanded to the critical point, as if it was about to explode.

But the next moment, what awaits Cai Yun is not death, but a shadow guarding him.

Cai Yun looked at the sudden appearance of the figure and the three assassins flying to the ground in surprise.At that moment, Cai Yun could see clearly that the person in front of him broke into the formation first, took the hand of the assassin who was attacking him, squeezed it gently, and then broke it into pieces.

Then he punched to the left and kicked to the right, breaking through their defense and kicking away the two assassins on the side.

This series of actions lasted only a moment.And a monk who can have this kind of strength is undoubtedly a great master.

"who are you?"

"I, Fan Yue, have been ordered by the lord to protect the young master."

"Father?" Cai Yun was obviously a little surprised, "What's going on?"

The nearby soldiers killed the ambush assassins and rushed around Cai Yun.Fan Yue took out a gilded token, and all the Chu soldiers knelt on the ground.

"According to the Lord's order, you will protect the young master and return to Yingcheng immediately."

"Subordinates take orders!"

"Could it be that?" At this point, Cai Yun seemed to understand that all of this was Cai Yun's plan. "Could it be that those bandits were also involved?"

"Young Master guessed it right. The bandits in the mountains are a troop of troops hidden by the lord. In order to guard against the Yun clan, and also to deal with the Shu army at a critical moment. At this moment, their leader, General Wei He, has received the lord's military talisman and is heading to Xiling. The county dispatched troops."

"Xiling County only has [-] troops. Is it enough to deal with Yun's army of [-]?"

Cai Yun asked with some worry.

"Don't worry, sir, my lord can handle it."

Fan Yue cupped his hands and said.
