Three Kingdoms New Emperor

Chapter 524 Key News

The moon is as cool as water,

On a trail in the outskirts of Chen Liucheng, a knight was desperately urging his war horse to gallop.The war horse was panting like a drum, its hoofs were flying heavily, and it was already beginning to be overwhelmed.But the knight on the horse kept urging his whip, his eyes flashing with excitement.

Most of the knight's mind is drawn by his current task, so that his perception of the outside world is a little slow.But suddenly without warning, his instinct as an elite became alert, reminding him that there was an imperceptible killing intent floating from somewhere nearby.

However, after running around all night, his body was already extremely exhausted, and his muscles and senses did not respond immediately.Then, in the misty night, a cold light flashed, the horse suddenly hissed and fell to the ground, even the knight with the horse rolled and fell in embarrassment.

However, after all, the knight is an elite team, so he made a decisive decision. When the horse made a change, he jumped in time, and his body automatically curled up into a ball. Hold down.On the other hand, it also greatly reduces its own area to prevent the assassins from hurting people with cold arrows again.

After the knight fell off his horse, his body rolled non-stop, and he quickly retracted into the grass nest and disappeared.The knight understood that the opponent did not miss the shot, but was just looking for the safest means of assassination.Horses are larger and easier to snipe in the dark than humans.As long as the mount dies, the knight loses his mobility and is at the mercy of mermaids.The moment he landed, the Jing'an Cao knight realized that the killer was a thoughtful and extremely calm person.

However, the knight who hid behind the dead tree and grass nest also effectively reduced the area hit by the arrow, and was able to keep his body in a stretched state ready to counterattack at any time.In this way, the assassin loses his target and may show up because of panic.According to his judgment, this is a remote path with many trees, as long as the assassin is willing to show up, the two will fight hand to hand, and it is still unknown who will win the battle.

The night air became extremely cold from this moment on, the knight tried his best to hold his breath, resisting the intense pain from his back.He touched the boxwood handle at his waist and patted his thighs (a short knife similar to a dagger), pulled out the leather sheath with a slight movement, and inserted it on the ground - for professional spies like them, this weapon is more powerful than a spear Easier.

"嗖嗖" two more arrows were shot, each piercing the grass three steps away from the big tree.This is the archer's warning, telling the knight that he has taken control of the hiding place and should not try to escape again.The knight glanced at the length of the arrow shaft and the arrow feathers, his face changed drastically, and he deduced that it should be shot by a tiger bow.

This kind of tiger bent bow, which was improved from the road bow of the Han army, has a strong bow body, longer arrow shafts than the standard Han army, and mostly immature arrow feathers, and its range and power are far superior to the road bow of the Han army.The only disadvantage is that this kind of strong bow is more troublesome to carry.

But it was precisely this point that shocked the knights the most. He was qualified to use this special strong bow, in addition to proving that the archers this time were the elite of the Han army, and even their deadly enemy Jin Yiwei.One thing that is certain is that this time the sniping was premeditated and well-prepared, and he can even deduce sadly that the Han army is ahead of them again this time.

"I don't know, who is the master who is dispatched this time..." The knight gritted his teeth secretly, and stretched out his numb right leg cautiously.Now he has almost determined that the opponent is Jin Yiwei, and guessed his purpose: he must be trying to kill him on the way, preventing him from bringing Chen Liu's news to Puyang.

What was even more frightening was that this archer was very experienced, and he showed no sign of showing up at all, just quietly waiting for the knight's reaction.

For a while, the archer's aura in the darkness disappeared, like a ghost, who didn't know when and where it would appear next time.It can be seen that the archer is still a very patient person. He didn't choose to attack the knight when he first came out of Chenliu, but waited until the knight was enough to relax his vigilance and reached the peak of exhaustion before making a decisive move.This kind of patience is as terrifying as a wolf on the grassland.

The knight knew that he couldn't go on in such a stalemate, otherwise he would definitely be the one who died.He turned slowly, trying to change positions without drawing the attention of the archer.Sweat slowly oozes out of the skin and is dried by the cool wind. There is a sinister and gloomy atmosphere in the air.

He struggled to untie the straps on both sides of the chest armor, which is usually an easy task, but the knight could not expose too much of the tree trunk at this time, so he could only stiffen his arms and slowly loosen them with his fingers. .After finally removing the leather armor, he loosened the belt around his waist, tied one end to the leather armor's clasp, and held the other end in his hand.

The knight took a deep breath, chanted a few words silently in his heart, suddenly straightened up, grabbed the cloth belt and threw the leather armor into the air.

A flying arrow shot through the mid-air leather armor without hesitation.

The knight pulled back the leather armor, touched the arrow cluster, and smiled on his lips.

He almost knew the position of the enemy.The archer, after all, still did not calm down, probably this time the news was related to the success or failure of the Han and Cao armies, and the archer began to feel anxious.

This is the opportunity!

The knight was keenly aware of this at the moment, he suddenly tore off his underwear, and threw it into the air again.The light clothes stretched out in mid-air, like a huge bat with its wings spread.At the same time, he rushed out of the cover, holding the leather armor in front of him, as if holding a shield.

As expected, several more arrows flew in, one arrow hit the clothes in the air, and then the second arrow reacted quickly, piercing the leather armor and bruising the knight's left hand.The penetrating power and shooting speed of the tiger bow are very strong. Although the knight used a few tricks, he still gambled his life with luck.

It's just that if he doesn't gamble, he is like the Han army on the bank of the Beiji River, who can only sit and wait for death.And with a gamble, there is still a chance to survive the desperate situation.

It now appears that he bet right.

When testing the position of the archer before, he found that although the opponent was holding a tiger bow with an extremely long range, it may be because of the darkness that the distance of his sudden cold arrow was not very far, only about seventy steps.And after shooting two arrows, the knight has shortened the distance to about fifty steps.Before the archer could shoot the third arrow, the knight took out the paw that he had pulled out from the ground before, turned the tip of the blade upside down, and threw it towards a certain point in the darkness.I saw that Pai Tiao plunged into the dark scene with a flash of cold light, and his castration was extremely strong.

However, at the same time as he patted his thighs and flew out, the knight suddenly heard the sound of a bowstring coming from behind.

"Damn it, I was fooled!"

As soon as this idea came to the knight's mind, he felt a sharp pain in his chest. Looking down, a sharp arrow pierced his back and pierced out from his right chest.It turned out that there were two people on the other side from the beginning, and the second person hid it very secretly, holding back until the last moment before making a move. All the arrangements before were misleading him, making him misjudge the situation and come out to die on his own initiative.

The severe pain actually only lasted for a short time. When the cold arrows were enough to kill him, what was left was actually endless coldness and extremely uncomfortable breathing.The spurt of blood foam clogged the throat, making every breath of the knight seem to be exhausted.His vision gradually blurred, and the only thing he saw was a big man wearing the uniform of a school captain appearing in front of his eyes.

Next, there was a hand groping around him, but it wasn't the captain.The knight felt that it was the second archer who had been hiding all this time, and tried to identify it, and he really saw the very familiar Xuanyi, as well as the unique grace and coldness of that person.

That hand pulled out a letter from the knight's leggings, and then nodded in satisfaction.Then, he mercifully gave the knight a knife, ending the knight's suffering once and for all.

"Master Zhang, are you sure this is the last one?" Cao Xing caressed the tiger bow in his hand, with a hint of love, but on his rough face, there was still a touch of worry that couldn't be resolved.

"We don't need to be sure that this is the last one. We just need to be sure that Cao Cao's Jing'an Cao will bring the news back to Daying one day later than our Jin Yiwei." Zhang Can answered Cao Xing's question naturally, although Cao Xing He is a school lieutenant in charge of one department alone, but in the military system of the Han army, he, the governor of Jinyiwei, has the same rank as the school lieutenant.And in carrying out such confidential missions, Cao Xing must respect Zhang Can.

"That's right, that's true." Cao Xing nodded in deep agreement, and then sighed meaningfully: "After all, such important news happened during the negotiations between Han and Cao, so it is indeed too critical..."
