On a bright moonlit night, Zhang Chao secretly crossed the river with a gathering of three thousand troops in the lower reaches of Jiangxin City, quietly entering the foot of the mountain on the east side of Jiangxin City.

Jiangxin City is not just a part surrounded by walls.

The entire Jiangshixin now has a planned area of ​​about four miles in length, on the tip of the peninsula. But near the southeast of the inland, there is a piece of about five or six miles in circumference, which is a mountain.

This is just a broken mountain range, walking slanted from northwest to southeast, like a wall that cuts the tip of the peninsula.

In fact, it is precisely because of this mountain range that the Tao River turns northwest here, and then turns back to the southeast, creating such a narrow peninsula.

Zhang Chao chose this place as a border city, not only because it is on the border, but also because of its unique terrain, Zhang Chao built a wall of only 100 meters at the northeastern port of the slanted mountain range, and blocked the tip of the peninsula.

The mountain range, which is three miles long diagonally on the southwest bank, just blocked the southwest side.

This is a natural fortress, easy to defend but difficult to attack.

Zhang Chao walked down the pond water and took Mu Pai from the river entrance to the other side.

He went directly from the river to bypass the important pass of Shaanxi, which was only a hundred meters long, and Zhang Chao led three thousand men to a small valley at the foot of the mountain to camp.

He was going to wait here for the people from Heiyeli tribe to come and die.

The Ministry of Yeli thought there were only 600 people in Jiangxin City.

But in fact, in addition to the original 600 people, there are about hundreds of war soldiers in Jiangxin City. They have entered the city in batches under the names of guards, tax officials, etc. There are now thousands of war soldiers in Jiangxin City.

Zhang Chao also led three thousand people to ambush at the foot of the mountain on the peninsula, which was less than two miles apart.

A reorganized field army, with nearly three thousand troops.

They camped directly in the woods in the small valley at the foot of the mountain. Without setting up camps, the soldiers set up tents in the woods, and there was no sign of anything outside.

After discussing with a group of generals and schools for a long time, Zhang Chao returned to the tent for lunch. Recently, he was too nervous and tired. Now, many soldiers have been arranged on both sides of the island, both inside and outside the island.

This time, Zhang Chao also made every effort to make the people of Yeli Ministry go back and forth.

I slept for a long time.

Zhang Chao woke up and opened his eyes.

"Shuozi, water!"

He called twice, but no one answered.

"embolus?"

"Are you calling him?" A strange voice rang in the account.

Zhang Chao suddenly became alert and looked up, but saw a strange soldier sitting in his account, holding a knife in his hand and cutting a pear.

And at his feet, several people were upside down, including Shuanzi Zhuzi Ke Xiaoba Ke Shisan and Niu brothers.

Unexpectedly, all of his six servants and guards were knocked down, tied up like a rice dumpling, and his mouth was stuffed with rags.

In addition to Shuanzi and the others, two others were also tied up and were wearing the clothes of the mansion soldiers, but they were very unfamiliar.

Zhang Chao was shocked and sweated coldly.

No matter who this person is, if he had just attacked him, he would have died a hundred times long ago.

"You must not be a soldier in Taozhou Prefecture, are you?"

Zhang Chao didn't shout or scream. This man could unconsciously put down all his six personal soldiers in the military camp of the three thousand people, in his central army's burial. He had not attracted any attention yet. This man was very professional.

Moreover, Zhang Chao felt that the other party should have no malice.

"Well, I'm not a soldier in Taozhou, but I'm a joint defense team member of the Taozhou Township Corps."

Zhang Chao smiled and said, "With your ability, it would be too insignificant to be a joint defense member of the village regiment. If you are interested, you can come to me and I can give you a full position in the personal army."

"Forget it, I have no intention of being a career in the officialdom, nor do I want to join the army and fight. Being a joint defense team member is because I have just moved here and the government has orders to let young and strong people join the joint defense team." The man still peeled the pear and said carelessly.

"Oh, but I didn't transfer the joint defense team to here. In fact, I brought this army here with me, which is top secret information. You, a joint defense team member, shouldn't know, nor should you show up here." Zhang Chao said to him with a smile, "Can you help me peel a pear? I'm thirsty after a nap at noon."

"I'm just peeling it for you, I guess you woke up at this time."

He handed the peeled pear to Zhang Chao, and Zhang Chao took it with a smile and said thank you.

"You've peeled pears well."

"The knife is pretty good. In fact, I did not receive the task here. The task I received was to stand by, but because I found two rats, I followed. Unexpectedly, these two rats came here. By the way, your personal guard is really average. If it weren't for me, you would have been killed by these two rats."

Zhang Chao glanced at the two strangers who were also tied.

"I don't know them, do you know them?"

"I know, although these two people look a little ordinary, their reputation is very high in the world. Do you know the shadow of Luoyang?"

Zhang Chao shook his head.

He knew there were rangers in Chang'an, but he had never heard of the Shadow Society in Luoyang.

"Shadow Club is a killer organization. There are special people to take on business and then hand over the business to the killers below. These two are famous killers in the Shadow Club. They have never lost their hands, but the price is very high. If you take on a business, you can start at least 100,000 yuan."

Zhang Chao walked over and squatted in front of the two men.

"Can I take them off and ask them what they say?"

"random."

Zhang Chao first chose someone, "What's your name?"

The man turned his head and stared at the man who captured them.

"Nie Qing, I didn't expect that your dignified Nie Qing would do such a thing. He took the task and received the deposit, but he regretted it!"

Zhang Chao looked at Nie Qing.

"My name is indeed Nie Qing, but that is the stage name I am walking in the world. My real name is Ke Qing, and I am now from Ningmin Village. By the way, my ancestral home is from Zhangjiagou, Bashang, and the old village is my uncle. I am very grateful for what you did to the villagers of Zhangjiagou!"

Combining the two of them, Zhang Chao nodded clearly.

Nie Qing is a very famous killer in the world. He seemed to have collected money and received a task of assassinating himself, but when he came to Longyou, he settled here and did not come to kill him. The reason seems to be that he was actually a person who went out in Zhangjiagou in his early years, and seemed to be grateful for the things he did in Zhangjiagou.

Then he came here and not only did not come to kill himself, but instead protected himself in secret.

When another group of killers came to Taozhou, Nie Qing immediately discovered them. When they sneaked into the military camp and wanted to assassinate him, Nie Qing and the Yellow Bird caught these two famous killers in the world.

This seems to be the case.

However, Zhang Chao is not the kind of person who can easily believe others' words.

He turned around and said to the killer, "Whose money did you collect and whose mission did you take?"

"We will never betray our customers. We are not Nie Qing!"

Zhang Chao shook his head with a smile, turned to Nie Qing and said, "Can you lend your knife to use it?"

Nie Qing looked at his knife and smiled, "This knife has been with me for many years. Forget it, I'll give it to you."

After taking the knife, Zhang Chao said thank you, and then cut off one of the killer's fingers without hesitation.

"You can't say it, but I won't kill you easily. I will make you worse than death. Since you come to kill me, you should know that I also know some medical skills. There are ways to cut off the meat on your body bit by bit and feed it to the dog, but you can still prevent you from dying. Do you want to try it, without hands and feet, and being a stick, stuffed into a big jar. The first thing you do when you wake up every day is to hope that you will die?"

The killer's face was pale, gritting his teeth and insisting on it.

Zhang Chao cut another piece, but he didn't cut the second finger directly, but just cut it like a carrot and cut it out again.

Ke Qing looked at Zhang Chao's smiling finger-cut look, and couldn't help but feel chilled.

Zhang San is so cruel that he is really cruel.

"Zhang Jun, what I can tell you is the killer hired by King Yuanji of Qi. I can also tell you that it was the prince who asked the prince of Qi to kill you. As far as I know, the prince really wants to kill you, and he must get rid of it soon!"

Zhang Chao shook his head, "Hisan Ke, it's meaningless to you like this. You said everything, then what do you think they have to do to me?"

"Forget it, I have recently raised two new puppies, both of which are mastiffs, and they specialize in meat. They also like to eat raw meat, especially live food. Even if these two guys do their best, feed me the dog."

The killer finally collapsed.

He had also thought about how Ren Zhangchao torture him and he didn't speak. But he only cut a finger and then took it to feed the dog. He really didn't expect this result.

"Give me your life, I'm willing to ask for anything."

"I know everything, I want you to do something."

Zhang Chao cut the ropes of Shuanzi and the six guys took off the cloth from their mouths, and looked angry and wanted to touch the knife to cut Ke Qing.

"Get out!"

Zhang Chao shouted, and Shuanzi retreated aside unwillingly, his face full of shame and anger.

"If you don't learn your skills well, just practice your skills after you go back."

Ke Qing sat there all the time, and even Shuanzi and the others didn't move when they drew their swords.

"You won't be tried again?"

"There is no need for that."

Ke Qing was a little surprised now, "You really believe me like that?"

"Because you are worthy of trusting. If you were to kill me, you would have had a chance just now."

"Maybe I'm just trying to get close to you?"

"Who is so bored?"

Zhang Chao handed the knife to Shuanzi, "Take these two people down and feed them to the dog."

There is nothing to interrogate until the matter ends here. The truth is that the prince wants to kill himself. He is the only one who interrogates clearly. Even if they are willing to confess, it will not be of any use. It would be better to just stop this matter like this.

"Thank you, Mr. Ke."

"I'm not a hero. I used to be an assassin, but I've washed my hands." Ke Qing replied with a smile.

"I have a heartless request. I want to ask you to be my guard for a while. I wonder if you are willing to help?"

Ke Qing just smiled, "I am really not interested in being a personal soldier or something, but there is no problem for you to be a temporary guard. But I agreed in advance, it will take up to three months at most."
