Chapter 173 Sneak Attack

He has achieved this in recent years. He is the deputy commander of the Qianniu Guard, second only to the general of the Qianniu Guard. He is in charge of the imperial guards and provides weapons.

If they really have ulterior motives and they bribe a few powerful officials in the Beijing Guard Camp, Chang'an will be in danger.

If the Uighurs were secretly brought into the interior again, the Wu Dynasty would be in danger.

When the three of them thought of this, they suddenly felt a chill down their spines.

The Uighurs had the largest number of troops among the neighboring countries, sometimes numbering as many as hundreds of thousands.

Although the number has decreased in recent years due to the lack of wars with neighboring countries, the number is still huge.

Moreover, all Huihe people were soldiers, regardless of gender or even children in their teens, as long as they were taller than the height of the wheels, they could go into battle and kill the enemy.

If a war breaks out, it will only take a few days to regroup.

That is why the Wu Dynasty has been guarding the border strictly. That is why as soon as Princess Yucheng received the news, regardless of whether it was true or not, she immediately sent them to investigate.

"Lord Ling, what do you think we should do?" Su Qinchao hesitated for a while, unable to make up his mind, so he turned his gaze to Ling Qi opposite him.

This man has done so many things for the emperor, he should know the most about the affairs of the royal family. Let's ask him first.

"Find him! Kill him!" Ling Qi raised his snowy eyes and uttered a few words as icy and jade-like as ice.

"Don't you want to check it out first?" Su Qinchao was a little surprised.

The normal procedure should be to find evidence, arrest the person, and then escort him to Beijing.

After all, they are just guessing and have no definite evidence, so how can they just kill him like that?

Although Xu Ji's appearance here is itself abnormal.

As an official in Beijing, how could he reach Huihe, thousands of miles away, without someone in a high position to work for him?

Besides, what else can he do here? Buy souvenirs?

"No, capture him, pry open his mouth, and then kill him!"

"I see." He thought that this person really wouldn't ask any questions and would just find someone and start doing it right away.

Later, the three of them made a new plan. They planned to exchange Awad and Aziz back to the caravan overnight.

By the way, they will take back the things they stored there, and then Ling Qi, who is good at tracking, will go to check Xu Ji's whereabouts first, and then they will find an opportunity to take action.

...

"Coo, coo!" Hearing the call of a night owl outside the window, Su Qinchao gently pushed the window open a little and looked down.

After seeing the other party's call gesture, he pulled Gao Chongwen, who had been looking a little nervous, over and jumped out of the window.

As early as two days ago, they had found Xu Ji, and Ling Qi was going to take action that night.

But when they arrived at the restaurant where Xu Ji was staying, Su Qinchao suddenly sensed a hint of danger and immediately reached out to stop the man.

The other side has a master whose martial arts skills are not inferior to his, and they don’t know if there are any better ones, so they must act with caution.

Therefore, for the next two days, they had been waiting for an opportunity, and just now Ling Qi, who was lurking near Xu Ji, brought the news.

Of the four guards who always surrounded Xu Ji, he finally sent two of them away in the evening.

There are two left, and the opportunity is rare, so they plan to take a gamble.

"The place they were sent to is not far from here. It will take no more than two hours to go back and forth. We must act quickly! One of them just went downstairs to eat. If we can take advantage of their unpreparedness and attack them successfully, then this trip will be much easier."

When the three of them were rushing on the road, Ling Qi, who rarely did, explained the situation in detail.

"Okay, I'll go meet him..." Su Qinchao took the initiative to speak.

"No, I'll go!" Ling Qi immediately interrupted him: "I have a lot of experience, and I don't necessarily need a head-on confrontation."

Those guys were obviously gangsters, and the one eating downstairs, according to his observation, should be the leader of the guards.

It's hard to guard against the tricks in the martial arts world. Don't be counterattacked by this person before you can launch a sneak attack. It's safer to do it yourself.

"Okay." Su Qinchao thought about it for a moment and agreed.

Ling Qi does have a lot of experience, so it would be right to listen to him.

Therefore, after arriving at the restaurant, the three of them sneaked in separately.

"I'll break in through the window here, and you can catch them off guard and shoot them with your crossbow. If you miss, you can come in and help me later."

Su Qinchao lay on the roof of the first floor, looking up at the room on the second floor where Xu Ji was waiting.

After seeing the two people's positions clearly, he lowered his voice and spoke to Gao Chongwen beside him.

At this time, Xu Ji and the guard were not together. One was guarding the door, and the other was sitting at the table in the compartment reading letters.

That's why he thought of breaking in first to attract attention, and then letting Gao Chongwen launch a sneak attack with a crossbow.

Moreover, although Xu Ji held the title of Junma, he was given the position of General Mingwei as an exception.

But his martial arts skills are also good, otherwise he would not have been able to sit firmly on the position of General Mingwei for so many years.

To be honest, the chances of winning are slim.

"Okay." Gao Chongwen nodded, then took off the small crossbow from his back, quietly moved to the best shooting position, and then signaled to Su Qinchao.

Seeing this, Su Qinchao tightly grasped the spear that he had assembled long ago, flew towards the room and broke into the window.

The spear was pointed directly at the guard's chest, and when it seemed like it was about to succeed, the guard dodged it at the cost of losing an arm.

However, Su Qinchao was not disappointed. He didn't expect to kill the man with one blow. It was good enough to be able to injure him.

What's more, the arm greatly affects the combat effectiveness, so this guard is nothing to be afraid of.

"General Mingwei, how are you?" Su Qin shook off the blood beads on his spear and fought with the guard calmly.

He raised his head and grinned at Xu Ji who was hurriedly walking towards him.

"Why is it you!" Xu Ji's pupils suddenly shrank when he saw Su Qinchao.

He knew this man. He had worked in the Beijing Guard Camp before. Later, he became a running dog of Princess Yucheng and was transferred to the Jinwu Guard.

"I should be the one asking this question. How could General Mingwei, the son-in-law of Princess Minghua, and the Duke of Lin'an County be absent from his post and appear here?"

"..." Xu Ji did not say anything, but looked at Su Qinchao's eyes, which changed from flickering at the beginning to deep.

"Did you receive someone's order to collude with foreign races?" Seeing that Xu Ji didn't say anything, Su Qinchao continued to provoke him.

"You'll know when you die." Xu Ji seemed to have finally made up his mind. His eyes turned fierce. He pulled out the soft sword wrapped around his waist and pounced forward.

However, the moment he pounced forward, he was suddenly hit by several crossbow arrows that he had no way to avoid, and his body was instantly frozen.

The positions where these crossbow arrows were shot were very tricky, as if they were calculated accurately. No matter how Xu Ji dodged just now, he would be hit by at least two places.

At this moment, only the tail ends of the two arrows were left at the place where Xu Ji was shot, which showed how skilled the archer was and how much strength he used.

"I'm not alone." Su Qinchao once again parried the guard's sword and proudly raised his eyebrows at Xu Ji, who was half-kneeling on the ground and barely supporting himself with the sword.

Then he deliberately made a fake move to trick the guard, then he turned his wrist and stabbed the man through with a bullet, ending the fight.

At this time, Gao Chongwen also jumped in from the broken window holding a crossbow.

"So that's it!" Xu Ji looked at Gao Chongwen hatefully.

Just now he was still wondering how someone here could shoot a crossbow arrow that he had no way to avoid.

He had only seen one person in the Beijing Guard Camp before, and it turned out to be him. He guessed he was really in trouble this time.

"Greetings, General Mingwei!" Although Xu Ji was in a very embarrassed state now, Gao Chongwen still saluted.

"It's useless to arrest me. I don't have any evidence on me, and you can't expect to get any information from me." In the evening, he asked the other two guards to send the secret letter away.

"Really?" The next moment, Ling Qi pushed open the door and walked in.

His cold eyes, like a snow cave, stared at Xu Ji, and then he revealed a wicked smile.

This was the first time that Su Qinchao and Gao Chongwen saw Ling Qixiao in these days, and they felt that this smile was chilling.

"Why is it you?" Xu Ji looked at Ling Qi, and a hint of fear slowly emerged in his originally unruly eyes.

Then he raised the sword and cut his own neck.

"Dang!" Su Qinchao quickly used his spear to knock the soft sword away.

"Want to die? You have to confess before you die."
