?In the Jiangling General Administration Office in the west city of Jiangling, the commander of the Anzhou Army, Yu Wenming, issued an order to send the rebels who were searched to prison one by one and wait for a good day to behead him on the execution ground. However, the mastermind behind the scenes, Liu Zhuang, the Minister of the Honglu Temple, disappeared. His family also left Jiangling yesterday afternoon without a trace.

The mutiny occurred last night and then was suppressed. The Anzhou army spent only one morning following the clues of the prisoners' confessions and caught the relevant personnel in a jar. The guards who tried to open the south gate of Jiangling that night, landed on the riverside and landed on the enemy's city could not escape.

It was thanks to the fact that Shi Wansui, the master of the horse army under Yuwen Wen, led the cavalry to patrol the south of the city and just happened to run into more than a thousand infantry sent by the General Administration of Zhou Guoxinzhou. At that time, they were already close to the city gate. If they entered the city like this, the Anzhou army would have to fight a bloody battle and lose many lives.

Shi Wansui defeated the enemy's rear and left more than 200 cavalry guards outside the southern suburbs of the city. The South Gate guard who communicated with the enemy was unable to escape when he saw that the matter was defeated, so he hid home. After seeing the Anzhou army controlling the whole city to destroy the mutiny, he committed suicide at home.

The next morning, the soldiers broke into the door and saw that the evil man had died and did not make things difficult for his family. Although the whole city was in great orders, the Anzhou army was disciplined and did not take advantage of the situation to rob and harass the people.

After dealing with the matter of suppressing the rebellion, Yu Wenming withdrew from the hall and returned to the study room of Houya. Yu Wen Wen had been waiting for a long time.

"Longsui, the master of the horse army, is indeed amazing. He is worthy of being a general." Yu Wenming sighed with regret. A general who is experienced in leading troops and is quite capable of fighting like this. He wants to lead troops.

"This is also a coincidence. He almost killed himself on the battlefield in Lianghekou that day." Yuwen Wen would not be so stupid that he would say those polite words of "If you don't let him get to your place," this is the rare treasure I picked up, not a big passerby.

"Look at you like that! Do you think I'm still shy about asking you for someone!" Yu Wenming cursed with a smile, "The boy from the Xu family is also doing well, so Xu Jun can rest assured."

Xu Shao is the son of Xu Faguang, the governor of Yuezhou. As the logistics director of Yuwen Wen's new army, he entered the city several times since Jiangling rescued the siege. Yu Wenming, as the head commander of the entire army, also met the other party several times when he reviewed the signature in the official office.

While talking, Yu Wenming took his younger brother out of the gate to a nearby official office. Yu Wenwen walked in the corridor with his brother Yu Wenming and chatted while walking. At this time, the topic was the "high-tech equipment" he made.

"Last night, I was attacked several times. What kind of rainy pear blossom needles and the cloud-piercing arrows broke several times." Yu Wenming said helplessly. "Fortunately, I was the last one to take effect, or I would kill the assassin."

Yuwen Wen just smiled bitterly. The rainy pear blossom needle he made by clicking the "Compressed Air Technology Tree" was quite powerful but its reliability was really not good. Without rubber, Eucommia rubber has been unable to be properly handled, so the airtightness is poor, resulting in a high failure rate. The quality of the arrow through the clouds is unstable and normal, and the fireworks that rushed to the sky are ignited and burned.

"These techniques of mechanical scheming are unreliable. Erlang should not be addicted to it anymore to avoid misleading things." Yu Wenming was still scared when he remembered the thrilling scene last night.

"I didn't say that when my brother used a catapult to smash the city wall." Yuwen Wen complained sharply.

"Uh, exception, exception."

While speaking, the two brothers came outside a room. The soldiers guarding the door bowed and pushed the door open and came into the room. Yuwen Wen looked up and saw that more than ten corpses were neatly placed on the mat on the floor in the room, covering their faces with white cloth.

"Brother just mentioned the assassin. Could this be the assassin's body?"

Yu Wenming nodded and said yes, these assassins should be good men hired by Anping Wang Xiaoyan, who specifically targeted the employer to eliminate enemies. He was confused when searching for the assassins, but a few of them were a bit special.

Yu Wenming came to a corpse and bent down and raised his right hand: "Look at this man's forearm." Yu Wen Wen looked carefully and saw a tattoo of a strange bird on the man's forearm. The strange bird spread its wings and stretched out its claws like an eagle preyed on it, but the bird's head was a bit weird and unlike the birds seen in ordinary tattoos.

"This man intercepted us outside the Zhulin Hall, and was intimidated by the 'shocked cicada' and covered his ears with his hands and was then killed." Yu Wenming's face turned dark after saying that, and his confidant servant A Liu later had been killed by the assassin in order to protect himself.

"Your 'smacking cicada' is so easy to use, not as erratic as the storm of pear blossom needles." He calmed down and continued, "Let's take a look at this person again."

Yu Wenming walked to another corpse and raised his right hand. There was also a picture of a strange bird preying on his forearm. He explained that this was the head of the five assassins who attacked him outside the palace. Yu Wen Wen thought for a moment and asked, "Is this the little leader among the assassins?"

"What else did Erlang see?"

After hearing what his brother said, Yu Wen Wen thought about it again, and then he realized something was wrong: this tattoo is not stabbed according to personal preference but is used as a unified logo to show a certain identity. So the question is, what does this assassin do with such a cool tattoo?

Assassin is a killer. He lurks in the dark and waits for an opportunity to plot against the target person. Naturally, there are many ways to guard the assassin and searches is the most common. So if an assassin has a unified tattoo and stabs in the forearm, which is very easily exposed, it is seeking death.

For this assassin organization, as long as people understand this characteristic, the corresponding measure is to check the arm of each suspicious person. If the other party stabs the chest and the back, it is fine. After all, it is not advisable to stab the forearm. Just roll up the sleeves and robe to verify it, which is not convenient to catch fish in troubled waters.

Not to mention that such a cool sign is hidden in a certain compound, even if you want to enter the city, you will be found out at the city gate. Could it be that you are so arrogant that you can use your light skills to fly over the city wall or float on the water?

"Didn't they be the assassin's business?" Yuwen Wen expressed his opinion. Only this kind of guess can explain initially why the other party was like this.

"That's right. They weren't assassins."

If it is not an assassin, it is the private soldier of the nobles or powerful clans. The tattoo means identity, so there is no need to worry about other people's inspection. Perhaps the old master or family has declined or even disappeared for some reason, so these hawks can only find another livelihood. Those who have good luck find a new master sometimes get a bad luck.

Not only the private soldiers of the army, even the official army, also became bandits for various reasons. As the saying goes, rely on the mountains and rivers to eat water. It is normal for those wandering soldiers to scatter and bravely become thieves after the demise of Qi. Most of the official troops with horses in the north are horse bandits, while those in the Jianghuai area either occupy the mountains as kings or become water thieves.

Yuwen Wen remembered that the husband of Manager Liu, Zhang Gunner Liu, was born into a horse bandit. He also became a bandit after hearing his own statement. I think these assassins have entered the industry halfway.

"I recognize this tattoo for my brother." Yu Wenming began to answer the riddle. After hearing this, Yu Wenwen asked if he had been attacked by this group of assassins.

"That was four years ago..." Yu Wenming fell into memories and then told the past.

Four years ago, the Emperor Yuwen Yong of the Great Zhou Dynasty personally led an army to attack Qi. Yu Wenming, a son of the royal family, served as a guard and accompanied him. After a bloody battle, the Zhou army finally defeated the Great Zhou and unified the north.

Yuwen Yong visited Yecheng, the capital of Qi, to appease all civil and military officials. During his time in Yecheng, Yuwen Yong was attacked by assassins, but the other party failed to approach the imperial guards and was repelled by the guards.

Yu Wenming witnessed the whole process without any danger at the scene. What impressed him was the strange bird tattoo on the forearm when he was collecting the assassin's body.

"Is it possible that the assassin also had this tattoo on the arm of that time?" Yuwen Wen could hear the connection between the past and the present that his brother said.

"Yes, they were assassins at that time but they were not originally an assassin."

"Is it the remnant of Qi?" Yuwen Wen could understand that after the Battle of Destruction, there would always be people who hated the victorious country for various reasons. They might be the remnants of the army to avenge their comrades, the Shangguan, and the family, or the private soldiers under the command of the dead high-ranking officials and nobles wanted to "soldiers die for their confidants."

"They are hawks raised by Gao's family."

When Yuwen Wen heard this, he suddenly realized that Gao was a royal family in Qi State. It was reasonable for the country to destroy these loyal hawks and dogs to trap beasts and attack Zhou Emperor Yuwen Yong. It was reasonable for him to find a way out to become an assassin when he saw that he had no hope of restoring the country.

He suddenly remembered that when he entered the city last night, Wang Yue, who had arranged for him to live near the city gate, reported that a man with a northern accent had moved in at a corner of the street. Yuwen Wen had an idea in his mind: Could it be that the other party assassinated Yuwen Dalang and planned to assassinate me, Yuwen Erlang?

After Qi was gone, he searched for food and traveled thousands of miles to the Jingchu land in the south to take on work. It was really hard...

However, Yuwen Wen was still a little confused. Since the other party was so professional, why didn’t he wait for an opportunity to assassinate his brothers a few days ago? The two brothers decided to think that the employer was probably trying to kill two birds with one stone tonight. If the assassination was successful a few days ago, the Anzhou army would not be in chaos, and Emperor Liang was still in the hands of the Anzhou army.

"This group of people has no official title, but I heard Qi people mention this name when I was in Yecheng." Yu Wenming thought about it and added: "Remember it is...it is called 'Ye Xiao'."

"Ye Owl?" Yuwen Wen is very familiar with this name. Ye Owl is a type of owl. No wonder the bird looks a bit strange.

"It's Ye from Yecheng." Yu Wenming added, knowing that his younger brother would definitely think it was wrong.

Yecheng is the capital of Qi, and the owl is unfilial bird, which is said to be eating the mother. The owl, who regards Yecheng as a nest, does not recognize his relatives, is naturally the minions of the royal family. As long as the emperor says he will kill whoever he wants, he will kill who even his parents are no exception.

This title is indeed majestic and domineering, but there is no similar record in historical materials that means a small group that is "Where will the skin be attached to the hairless?" The confrontation between the two countries relies on the bloody battle of the army. This kind of non-sect professional group is not used for great purposes. Without Qi, they disappeared into the long river of history.

The Dongchang of the Ming Dynasty, the Jinyiwei was so famous, but after the country changed color, it dissipated with the wind, let alone Ye Xiao.

"Why did my brother be so sad for the assassin who collects money and eliminates disasters? I don't know how many of the people who do this business are all desperate people to be careful in the future."
