I rode and slashed unparalleled in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 545: The killing sounded, and the great mission was finally accomplished

Zhao Yun quickly gestured to his followers behind him, and everyone immediately gathered around quietly.

Under Zhao Yun's command, they were divided into several groups. One group was responsible for dealing with the guards and secret sentries around the tent and delaying the enemy's actions, while the other group followed Zhao Yun and Li Ji to quietly approach the tent and directly raid and kill Dong Zhuo's messenger in the tent.

They held their breath, their hearts beat faster, but their eyes were determined, as if they had seen the dawn of victory.

However, just as they were about to launch the attack, there was a sudden commotion in the tent.

The captain of Li Su's guard seemed to have noticed something and suddenly pulled open the curtain of the tent, just in time to meet the eyes of Zhao Yun and others.

"Who is it? There's an assassin!" the captain of the guard shouted in horror.

In an instant, the camp exploded, and the guards were awakened one after another, reaching for their weapons.

"Do it!"

Zhao Yun was quick-witted and quick-handed. Seeing that his whereabouts were exposed, he made a prompt decision, shouted loudly, and rushed out first.

His body was as fast as lightning, and the spear in his hand was like a snake emerging from a cave, going straight for the throat of the captain of the guard.

The captain of the guard was also a veteran. He was shocked when he saw this and hurriedly raised his knife to block.

However, Zhao Yun's spear skills had already reached perfection. With one thrust of his spear, the tip of the spear easily penetrated the opponent's blade and went straight to his throat.

A trace of despair flashed in the eyes of the captain of the guard, but it was too late to save him. He only felt a chill in his throat, blood gushed out, and his body slowly fell down.

"The official is mighty!"

"Kill the thief Dong!"

Seeing Zhao Yun kill the enemy with one shot, the morale of his followers was boosted, and they followed suit and launched a blitzkrieg. They cooperated well and quickly knocked down the guards who were caught off guard.

For a moment, there were flashes of swords and shouts of killing, and the area around the envoy's tent immediately fell into chaos.

Li Su stared with red eyes, his heart beating wildly.

He could never have imagined that he would be ambushed just when his plan was about to succeed.

Especially the shouts of "kill Dong" made him terrified and his legs trembled.

Wen Pin turned against us?
No, not possible!
If it was Wen Pin, this would be his base camp, so there would be no need for such a petty attack.

"You are a traitor, you don't know how to appreciate my kindness!"

"Quick, come and stop them!"

"Go and ask Sima Wen to come for support!"

At the critical moment, Li Su was the first to come to his senses.

However, it was useless for him to react alone.

While living here as a guest, he was suddenly attacked at night, and the captain he had been with day and night was killed in an instant.

Li Su's guards were mired in chaos.

Although they fought desperately, they were obviously no match for Zhao Yun and his followers in such a hurry, and fell one after another in a pool of blood.

Right now, Li Su’s only hope is the booming drum sound in his ears.

He knew that Wen Pin had finally discovered something unusual. As long as they could hold on for a while longer, the Nanyang Army would arrive and the rebels would be completely finished.

Zhao Yun naturally also knew about this, so the fight between the two sides became more intense.

They have no consequences that anyone can bear.

"Reinforcements are coming, reinforcements are coming!"

Hearing the voice beside him, Li Su looked up.

In the night, torches were seen winding like a long dragon, lighting up the entire camp like day.

The shouting and killing here finally alarmed Wen Pin, who led his army to surround them:

"Stop! Everyone stop immediately and don't move!"

Wen Pin's voice sounded particularly majestic in the chaos. He rode a tall horse, holding a spear, and galloped over.

Li Su was overjoyed when he saw this, as if he had seen a savior, and shouted:
"Sima Wen, come and save me!"

"These rebels have committed heinous crimes in their attempt to assassinate the imperial envoys. Please kill them immediately!"

Zhao Yun was furious when he heard this and immediately thrust his spear forward.

His figure suddenly accelerated in the crowd, the shadow of his gun flashed, and after stabbing two guards to death, he jumped up again, shouted angrily and stabbed Li Su in full view of everyone. "No!!!"

Li Su shouted loudly, but had no time to make any effective defense. He widened his eyes and looked at Zhao Yun's ghostly figure approaching in disbelief.

The moment the gun tip pierced his chest, he opened his mouth and uttered an unwilling "hehe" sound. The light of life quickly went out in his eyes, and his body fell weakly, splashing a cloud of dust.

The guards around were all terrified when they saw this. Some fled in panic, while others tried to continue resisting. However, facing the fierce attack of Zhao Yun and his followers, their resistance seemed so powerless.

Wen Pin, who was riding on a horse, looked even more livid.

He never expected that the envoy sent by Marquis Guanjun would be so bold and presumptuous that he killed Dong Zhuo's envoy directly in his camp.

"stop!"

"If you don't stop, everyone will be killed without mercy!"

Wen Pin's furious voice echoed in the camp. Zhao Yun saw that his target was dead and no longer provoked Wen Pin. He waved his hand and led his followers to distance themselves and leave the battle.

"you you you!"

Wen Pin rode his horse and led his troops to Zhao Yun, pointed his sword at Zhao Yun's nose, and said angrily:

"You, Zhao Zilong, are so brave!"

"Do you know where this place is?"

"Do you know who you killed?"

"How dare you, a mere official in the General's Office, be so presumptuous as to cause chaos in our military camp and even kill the imperial envoys without authorization?!"

Wen Pin was furious and looked like he was ready to kill someone at any time.

However, Zhao Yun remained calm in the face of the accusation, and calmly clasped his fists and replied:

"Sima Wen is wrong."

"Dong the traitor has committed treasonous acts and has held the emperor hostage. He can no longer represent the court."

"Grandmaster Zhang has joined our coalition against Dong early on, responding to the call of Marquis Guanjun and Lord Lu."

"Now, Sima Wen is allowing the envoy of the traitor Dong to receive such courtesy in the Nanyang army. Isn't this disregarding the reputation of the governor?"

As soon as Zhao Yun finished speaking, the atmosphere around him suddenly became tense and solemn. Wen Pin's face was also gloomy. He obviously did not expect Zhao Yun to have such sharp words and firm stance.

"What a silver-tongued fellow."

Wen Pin shouted angrily:
"You keep saying that Dong Zhuo cannot represent the court, but when the two armies are fighting, they don't kill the envoys. How can you explain why you killed the envoys in my camp?"

Zhao Yun was not afraid at all, his eyes were firm: "Sir Wen, I am here on the orders of Marquis Guanjun and Minister Lu to discuss the plan with the Nanyang army. However, we found that Dong Zhuo's envoys have gone ahead and tried to alienate our allies. Are you going to turn a blind eye to this behavior, Sir Wen?"

Wen Pin's face changed slightly when he heard this. He naturally knew the purpose of Li Su's visit, but now that he was exposed by Zhao Yun in front of him, he couldn't help feeling embarrassed and angry.

Zhao Yun took a deep breath and said slowly:

"Sir Wen, Zhao's trip is for the sake of the overall situation."

"Dong Zhuo is powerful, and our allies must unite to defeat the enemy. If we let Dong Zhuo succeed in his evil plan due to our temporary kindness, and our two families go to war, this will put the whole world in danger."

"I am willing to shoulder all the responsibility for this matter. I only ask that Sima Wen put the overall situation first and join us in fighting against the traitors."

Wen Pin stared at Zhao Yun for a long time without saying a word.

After he recovered, he realized that being angry would be useless.

Li Su has now died in his camp, and there is no turning back. If he punishes the envoy of the Marquis of Guanjun, then his Nanyang Army will truly be cut off from the world.

Finally, Wen Pin slowly put down the spear in his hand and waved his hand:
"Zhao Fuyuan, what you did today was against military discipline, but considering your loyalty, I will keep it in mind for now."

"You should return to Yique and report this matter to the Marquis of Guanjun, and let him make the decision himself."

"As for the actions of our Nanyang Army, I will report to the governor and make a decision."

Zhao Yun felt relieved when he heard this and bowed quickly:

"Thank you, Sima Wen, for your understanding. Zhao will report this matter to Marquis Guanjun truthfully. I hope the Nanyang Army and the Yique Pass soldiers will work together to punish the traitors!"

Wen Pin nodded, waved his hand to signal the soldiers to disperse, then turned to Zhao Yun and said:
"You should leave quickly. It is not advisable to stay here for long. I hope we can meet again next time when we celebrate our victory together."

Zhao Yun then saluted again, handed over the letter from Lu Gong, turned around and led his entourage to leave the Nanyang military camp and disappear into the night.

At this point, the hidden danger behind Yique Pass was eliminated, and Su Yao was able to concentrate on dealing with the threat from Dong Zhuo's army.
