On the battlefield of Pingguan in Shuyang, Wei, in addition to the Guanzhong and Longyou soldiers, there was also a special "Di soldiers". Most of them were from Wudu, composed of Di people from Longyou, with vertebrae and messy armor. They were arranged to camp on the mountains south of the Western Han River.

His lieutenant was Qi Zhongliu, the leader of the White Horse Di in Wudu. He has always been trusted by the Di and is powerful. He was instigated by Wei spies a few years ago and rebelled against Gongsun Shu with all the Di people, winning time for Ma Yuan to seize Wudu. Later, he was named Baima Dibo by the fifth reunion. This time, the war fires in Hanzhong resurrected, and Qi Zhongliu also brought a Di people to help.

But according to the custom of Wei, even the "mercenaries" of the Di Qiang had to arrange a "people" to supervise. So after layer by layer, a small camp named "Ayun" became the candidate for the deputy captain of the Di army.

I heard that the former general Wan Xiu and the general Wu Han of Zhenbei also recommended this person. Wan Xiu said: "I joined the army when Dinglongyou in the second year of Wude. He was loyal and able to understand Xia Yan."

Wu Han praised Ayun even more: "Although he was a Di person, his subordinates were very brave when they attacked Bingzhou. They were often successful, and they were eager to learn, and they were able to read the texts."

In terms of qualifications and ability, Ayun had no problem, so he was promoted from Yingzheng to deputy captain and transferred from Tianshui's home in Longyou to serve on the front line.

Ayun had no real power, as long as his power was to supervise Qi Zhongliu and restrain Di soldiers, Ma Yuan's attack on Yangping Pass was not very fierce, and the Di brigade did not fall to the point of filling the gullies and was only responsible for defending the flanks.

On this day, when the Di soldiers captured several deserters of Shu army who escaped from Yangping Pass and handed them over to Ayun for interrogation, the familiar accent of the Shu soldiers made Ayun dream back to Western Shu for a moment... That was where he lived in his youth.

A Yun was originally a young man from the Di tribe in the western border of Shu. Later, the tribe attacked each other, and his family died, and he was sold to Chengdu as a slave. What awaited him was a tragic fate. But in the slave bar, he met a noble man, a handsome gentleman who picked A Yun with unwilling eyes at first sight.

The savior was named Jing Han. He ate the hungry Ayun and bought clothes to cover his body. He was redeemed together, and a group of young men with similar experiences were taken to a secret place in Qionglai Mountain to train. Each of them had a sharp dagger, and Jing Han told everyone from the first day.

"If you save you, you will guide the Jiang soldiers, Gongsun Gong, and you should obey them to die!"

From that day on, Ayun became a member of the "Gongsun Death Soldier". After hard training and even killing his best friend, he stood out and immediately accepted the task: "Sneaking into Longyou, trying to follow the Wei army, and waiting for an opportunity to assassinate the Wei general Wan Xiu!"

It would be better if I didn't mention the following matters, Ayun was transferred from Wan Xiu's command by accident. He followed Wu Han to attack Longxi, and at the same time lost contact with the online line. He could only carefully hide his identity and mingle among the Wei army...

Today, I was touched by the local accent and it was really unbearable to look back! Ayun came to his senses, asked several times, and after he was tortured, he found that these people were really deserters, who were afraid of war and planned to escape back to Shu along the south bank of the Western Han River.

He coughed and said, "It seems that there are indeed many small trails in these mountains leading to Dingjun Mountain in the southeast of Yangpingguan. We will be detained first, or we can guide our army."

After the soldiers took several deserters out, Ayun secretly sighed: "Three years and three years, three years and three years."

"It's almost nine years..."

Of course, Ayun didn't know that his luck was better than escorting the panda to Chang'an to give it to him by Gongsun Shu's order, and planning to wait for an opportunity to assassinate the killer of the fifth reunion.

Since a pair of pandas were sent to Shanglinyuan ten years ago, Di Lun has inspected it once, but has never been there again. The killer did not wait for Di Lun, but waited for the panda to die!

There is no way, the Little Ice Period has continued since the end of the Han Dynasty. A large number of bamboo and wood in Guanzhong withered and wilted. It is not easy to find some food for pandas, but I can't find a bamboo shoot in the mountains! The fifth ethics has always been stingy and is unwilling to spend a lot of money to transport bamboo from the south. What do you say: "The people are still hungry, how dare I cherish the lives of beasts?"

The national treasure was born in the wrong era, and finally died of illness and starvation! The assassin suddenly lost his job. The officials in Shanglinyuan said, "Your Majesty will not raise idle people." They sent him to the people and distributed fifty acres of land outside the garden to farm on their own. Since then, there has been no subsequent text...

Compared to the panda assassin, Ayun was still lucky, at least he returned to the battlefield of the confrontation between Wei and Shu.

But even though he was close, it seemed to be a distance between heaven. Ayun had been in Wei for too long and had to travel too far, so he completely broke off contact with the online line. Even though his benefactor General Jing Han was behind Yangping Pass, he was struggling to get in contact with the letter. Although Ayun had been living for nine years and became a middle-level military officer, there were not many close friends around him who could entrust his life. Unless he went there in person, he would not dare to risk being betrayed to write a letter.

Seeing that all the troops from the Wei army were basically here, Yangping Pass was dangerous, but it was not without any gaps. Just when Ayun was anxious and didn't know how to assist Jing Han, he suddenly heard the patrolman say...

"Today, Yangping closed, a strange flag was hung!"

...

It was a blood-stained dagger, sewn on the white cloth, standing upright on the top of Yangping Pass, and drifting with the wind.

The flags in the army each have their own intentions, but this kind of flag was the first time it was hit. Neither the main force of the Wei army nor the Di brigade commander Qi Zhongliu, who was stationed on the south bank of the Western Han River, could not be recognized.

"Vice Captain Yun, do you recognize it?" Qi Zhongliu asked Ayun. Ayun shook his head in a daze, but he was shouting wildly in his heart:

"This flag is called 'Tuqiong Dagger'!"

Of course he recognized that General Jing Han was a descendant of the Warring States hero Jing Ke, who told them the story of his ancestors assassinating the King of Qin. Before going to the trip nine years ago, General Jing Han made a "hands-on signal" with Ayun and others.

"When the two armies were in battle, as soon as this flag was released, no matter where the White Emperor's dead soldiers were, they should act immediately when they saw the flag, killing Wei officials and generals, especially the chief generals, to help our army!"

After hiding for nine years, he finally saw the signal. When he recognized the flag of Tuqiong, Ayun was extremely excited and immediately returned to his tent. After sending the guards away, he began to sharpen the dagger. When the thirty-year-old good swords made of steel could be broken, he turned out an inconspicuous small wooden box from under the mattress.

After opening it, he took out the sealed green pottery bottle and began to skillfully apply poison to the dagger...

These actions were done in one go, as if he was like this dagger that had been hiding for a long time, waiting to drink people's blood for the past nine years!

But just before Ayun hid the dagger and was about to come out, he hesitated, sat back on the couch, reached out to the shape of the pillow...

What I took out this time was not a dagger poison, but a carefully woven sachet.

After untiing it, in addition to the air-dried orchid, there is also a child's baby's deciduous teeth. This is a custom in Longdi, and it is said that it can bless people's safety.

Smelling this familiar breath and stroking the angular little teeth, a tremor tremble appeared in Ayun's eyes!

Five years ago, after the battle of Juyanhai with Wu Han, in order to cover up his identity and not to arouse suspicion, he married a Longyou woman as his wife as the chief of the Wei army camp. The marriage was introduced by his superiors. The woman's family was not rich and noble, but she was also a famous minister in the Han Dynasty. She owned a manor and land. Her father-in-law did not dislike his identity as a Di person. She had a son five years after marriage.

This is the tranquility that Ayun had never thought of. He had a beautiful house with a beautiful land and a beautiful wife in his arms and a beloved son playing in the courtyard. All this seemed like a lifetime ago.

But after going to bed every day, he was still trapped in the cage of Chengdu people, or leaped on the rugged mountain road of Qionglai Mountain, or waving a dagger in his dream and stabbing General Wei, and he was also penetrated by a spear and fulfilled his mission with his life...

After the first twenty years and the next nine years, he was always tearing his reason. Ayun could feel his own wavering and he suddenly panicked.

Ayun quickly stuffed the sachet back under his pillow, put the hidden dagger in his arms, hurried out of the tent, rode his horse toward Ma Yuan camp on the north bank of the Western Han River.

But his mood was not calmed down because of this. As a Sichuan spy, Ayun was more sensitive to some things. In the past five years, Wei Xiu has been recuperating and has shown an upward trend. He saw all this in his eyes, and along the way, the Wei army camps were tight and the morale was high.

However, when his homeland became a family, he was always on the decline. Ayun often heard about famine and bad iron money. There were more and more deserters in the Shu army in Yangping Pass, and he heard that they could not even have enough food there.

This kind of contrast, combined with his own "dagger" in Shu, but in Wei, he relied on his own efforts to make a name for himself and entered the class, Ayun was even more moved.

Should we be loyal to the "loyal king" who was educated since childhood, resolutely sacrifice our lives, or should we be concerned about being a father and a husband, and cherishing the wealth in front of us?

No, you can't be in chaos anymore. As an assassin, you should know that hesitation will lead to defeat! General Jing Han told the story of Qin Wuyang. Have you forgotten?

While he was thinking about it, Ma Yuan's main business had arrived, but as a deputy captain, A Yun would not be blocked and criticized as long as he had a suitable reason.

"Di's escort captured several deserters of the Shu army and gave the important news. The lieutenant Qi ordered me to report to the general."

Ayun tried his best to keep his words from trembling. He occasionally had the opportunity to stay with Qi Zhong to attend a meeting and obey orders. He was kind-hearted and had no problem with the token and he would have to be released soon.

With Ayun's understanding of Ma Yuan, there are actually a lot of opportunities to assassinate him.

This is related to Ma Yuan's character. To use several college captains from Longyou, it is: "Although General Ma comes from a famous family, he is like a hero in Longyou!"

Hero, this is Ma Yuan, who is often praised by Ayun. As a general, whether he talks and drinks when he hears the garrison, or goes wild thousands of miles to kill the Western Qiang, or attacks the Shu army in Dingwudu for half a month, it shows that he has no hesitation in doing things.

When the troops were fighting, Ma Yuan was also approachable. For example, other generals met with gambling in the camp. If they were more harsh, they might directly rob the participants out of the gate and beheaded. However, Ma Yuan would stop to see them, and he would still be itchy after seeing them, so he borrowed money from the soldiers to place bets. He had been in the martial arts world for many years, was proficient in all gambling skills, and could win all the bets of veterans in the entire camp. He used the money of everyone to invite them to eat meat, which made everyone feast while complaining, and never dared to bet in front of General Ma again.

When it comes to marching and camping, he is even tight on the outside and loose on the inside, and is not guarding against his own people at all. Now, Ayun entered the camp and didn't even let him take the sword, let alone the cold light of the dagger hidden in his chest!

"I heard from Qi Zhongliu that Ma Yuan and others talked about him and liked to express his confidants directly. Even if he was a young soldier in the ranks, he could be within three steps. Even if there were attendants and pen officials in the account, I would have the opportunity to take action!"

The only thing to worry about is Ma Yuan's skills. I heard that he had excellent martial arts skills in his early years, and once brought up a team of horse thieves to run rampant in the new Qin Dynasty. After becoming the general of the fifth reunion, he often took action himself whenever he fought hard. In the battle of the Western Qiang, he personally killed several Qiang heroes' heads.

But Ma Yuan is also older, almost twice as old as A Yun, perhaps not as good as before?

Thinking of this, Ayun was getting closer and closer to Ma Yuan's camp. At this time, it was getting dark and the lights of the big tent in front were flashing. The personal soldiers stopped Ayun and checked the token again. He also said that Ma Yuan was meeting other people and he needed to wait...

"I have been waiting for nine years, and I only need to wait a little longer." Ayun found that his hands were full of sweat. After years of indulging in wealth, he has indeed become weaker...

But it doesn’t matter. After a moment, Ayun can complete his responsibilities. Whether he succeeds or not, he can serve Jing Han and Emperor Gongsun!

However, just as Ayun tried to encourage himself, the lights flashed in the tent, and someone screamed in pain, and then a squirm of passionate blood splattered on the tent!

"There are assassins!"

The personal soldiers were shocked, but they were well-trained and the division of labor was clear in the crisis. Some people stood outside, looking vigilantly at Ayun and the people who came over when they heard the news, while the rest quickly entered the tent.

The incident happened suddenly, Ayun was stunned, and he quickly figured it out.

"The news has been cut off for many years, and Shuzhong may think I am dead."

"I know Jing Han is behind Yangping Pass, but General Jing doesn't know that I am here!"

"The 'picture dagger' in Guancheng was not for me to see. I am not the only one who hides in the Wei army!"

After the Wei army occupied Wudu, they must use local people to stay with local spies. It would be easier for the assassin to get in. Perhaps one or two people scrambled to Ma Yuan and wait for an opportunity to do it.

When he came to his senses, Ayun had been squeezed to the periphery by the incoming guards. He could only stare at the tent through the heads, vaguely looking forward to something! How great would it be if that person succeeded!

The first ones came out were the guards. They looked solemn, carrying a corpse, looking like a stinger in charge of food. His hands were drooping weakly, and blood flowed out of his chest, dripping bit by bit.

Ayun's heart sank, and then he heard a hearty laughter ringing from the tent.

"Hahaha."

But Ma Yuan walked out. He was wearing casual clothes and looked calm. After coming out, he threw a dagger on the corpse and said lightly: "This man wanted to do something to do, and he was determined to do things. He came to investigate his superiors' corruption and came to ask for his meeting. Suddenly he assassinated and killed me."
