Top-notch Little Horseman

When Wolf Brother uttered those curses, everyone present was stunned!

Liang Kun was stunned upon hearing this.

He didn't care about the difference in the price of the silver; the matter of embezzling his silver could be dealt with later. However, as soon as Brother Wolf said this, anyone with eyes could see that these so-called refugees were actually people that Liang Kun and his group knew.

In fact, he paid for them to come!

Liang Kun, filled with boundless rage, glared at Zhao Shaojun.

He gave Zhao Shaojun more than 500 taels of silver to find someone to do something for him, but not only did the job go wrong, he was also cheated out of most of the silver!

Zhao Shaojun trembled, and in that instant, his face lost all color, and his mind went blank.

He never expected that not only did Wolf Brother and his gang fail to kill Ye Chen, but they also betrayed him before they died, exposing his embezzlement of most of the silver.

Luo Kai froze on the spot. He was still on his horse, holding the blood-stained knife in his hand, his gaze shifting back and forth between Liang Kun and Zhao Shaojun.

Now he understands everything, and he knows all the tricks involved.

Wolf Brother's roar confirmed a fact: the so-called refugees were actually people hired by Liang Kun to poison Ye Chen.

The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became. If he had arrived a moment later and Ye Chen had died, how would he explain himself to the General?

He secretly felt lucky that he had arrived in time.

Ye Chen gazed down at the scene below and handed the cannonball in his hand to Qin Mengyao, who was standing beside him.

Qin Mengyao immediately understood and ran towards the main room with the cannonball. This was Ye Chen's trump card, and she had to hide it well.

Ye Chen's gaze was fixed on Liang Kun. He knew Liang Kun was bad, but he didn't expect him to be this bad, actually hiring someone to kill!

He thought Liang Kun was just trying to use someone else to kill him, but he didn't expect Liang Kun to think that using someone else was too slow and directly hire someone to kill him!

Liang Biao was completely stunned. He never expected that Ye Chen and his boss had such a complicated grudge!

Upon seeing the cavalry charge, Liang Biao and his men immediately lowered their heads, afraid that the cavalry would recognize them as deserters.

As for Ayu and the other villagers, they just stared blankly at everything that was happening, somewhat unable to understand what was going on.

But they could tell that the cavalrymen were there to help Ye Chen. The bandits had all been slaughtered, which was a good thing.

Luo Kai slowly turned his head, his gaze sharp as a knife as it fell on Liang Kun's face behind him: "This shepherd! What does this person mean by what he said?"

Liang Kun opened and closed his mouth repeatedly, trying to say something, but he couldn't get the words out.

His mind raced, trying to come up with an explanation.

Just then, Zhao Shaojun spurred his horse out and charged towards Wolf Brother.

"You audacious commoner, you're incredibly bold!"

"Not only did you dare attack Desolate Dust Pass, but you also dared to make false accusations. Even on the verge of death, you still want to drag others down with you. Die!"

At this moment, only by silencing them can we get through this peacefully.

"stop!"

Seeing that Zhao Shaojun was about to silence him, Ye Chen immediately shouted and jumped down from the city wall.

"Zhao Shaojun! Are you trying to kill me to silence me?"

However, the distance was too great, and Ye Chen couldn't stop him at all.

"Stop!" Just then, Smoker shouted and swung his Qi Family Knife at Zhao Shaojun.

Zhao Shaojun had no choice but to swing his gun to defend himself, and the shock made his arm go numb, almost causing him to lose his grip on the spear.

"Ye Chen, don't talk nonsense, I don't know them at all!"

Zhao Shaojun looked at Ye Chen who was walking over and roared in anger and embarrassment.

"If you don't know him, get out of the way! Listen to him! What exactly happened? Why did they try to break through the barrier? Why did they want to kill me? And why was their target so clear?"

"And...you said you don't know them, how do they know your name?"

Ye Chen saw through it at a glance. It must have been Liang Kun who spent five hundred taels of silver to have Zhao Shaojun bring these people to kill him, while Zhao Shaojun pocketed half of the money.

"Tell me the truth, or I'll slice you to pieces, making you wish you were dead!" Luo Kai rode over, brandishing his saber, and roared at Wolf Brother.

Wolf Brother trembled with fear and hurriedly cried out, "General, spare my life! General, spare my life!"

"It was him, it was him! He hired me to come to Huangchen Pass to kill Ye Chen. He paid me five hundred taels of silver to slaughter Huangchen..."

Upon hearing Wolf Brother's words, Liang Kun glared furiously at Zhao Shaojun and roared, "You, Zhao Shaojun, what personal grudge do you have with Ye Chen that you secretly hired someone to kill him!"

"Come on! Zhang Dahu, seize Zhao Shaojun and bring him back to the horse camp!"

Liang Kun shouted, interrupting Wolf Brother, and winked at Zhang Dahu.

Zhao Shaojun was dumbfounded. Liang Kun was sacrificing a pawn to save the king!

Given the current situation, Zhao Shaojun has no choice but to accept it for now.

"Wait!" Just then, a majestic voice came from behind.

Upon hearing this voice, Liang Kun's body trembled violently!

He turned around and saw several people riding horses coming towards him. One of them was his superior, the centurion Chen Baiquan.

Although he was the head of the horse camp and of the same rank as Chen Baiquan, Chen Baiquan was a general with real power, and he was the one who made the decisions in the Third Horse Camp.

His gaze fell on a person behind Chen Baiquan, and his pupils suddenly contracted.

That man was Zhang Chengye!

He had a cloth bundle hanging from his waist that Liang Kun had never seen before, and his face showed an barely suppressed excitement.

Upon seeing the scene, Chen Baiquan immediately understood what was going on. Liang Kun was truly audacious!

His gaze fell on Zhao Shaojun, who was kneeling on the ground trembling, and Zhang Dahu, who looked anxious and uneasy to the side.

"Chief Liang." Chen Baiquan's voice was not loud, but his eyes were extremely cold.

"I just heard you say that you wanted to take Zhao Shaojun back to the Third Horse Camp?"

Liang Kun's facial muscles twitched slightly, and he cupped his hands to Chen Baiquan, saying, "General Chen, I have just arrived and have only just figured out the situation."

His voice was a half-tone higher than usual as he pointed at Zhao Shaojun and cursed, "So it was that bastard Zhao Shaojun who harbored a grudge against Ye Chen and colluded with bandits to commit murder behind my back!"

"I am about to take him back to the Third Horse Camp and deal with him according to the law..."

"Liang Kun, Chief Liang!" Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Hong Chengye, who was standing next to Chen Baiquan.

Hong Chengye seemed to have made up his mind to break ties with Liang Kun, and his tone was very impolite!

As Liang Kun's deputy, he had never spoken to Liang Kun in this tone.

"You're saying that the hiring of a hitman was done solely by Zhao Shaojun, and you had no knowledge of it?"

Hong Chengye took a step forward, and then untied the cloth bundle in his hand, revealing a stack of papers covered with dense writing.

"Then let me ask you, what did you two talk about when Zhao Shaojun secretly returned to the Third Horse Camp late last night and stayed in your inner room for so long?"

"Today you even rushed out with Zhao Shaojun and Zhang Dahu, heading straight for Huangchen Pass, and now you claim you knew nothing about it?"

"You're kidding me!"
