"Since Anshun Mountain has most likely bribed the cell guards, I will immediately give the order to send a team of people to change the defense!"

In the corner tower of the city wall, after listening to Li Junxian's analysis and speculation, Fang Gongteng spoke up at this time.

Since Anshun Mountain has spent such a large sum of sixty or seventy thousand yuan, Fang Gongteng is also a little unsure whether the soldiers he sent to guard the cells can withstand the temptation of money. There is a saying that money can make the world go round. , this is not completely unreasonable. After all, the monthly military pay for those soldiers in the government is actually not much. Faced with so much money given by Anshun Mountain, even the most loyal soldiers may find it difficult not to be tempted!

Therefore, in Fang Gongteng's opinion, instead of checking who has been bribed by Anshun Mountain, it is better to change the defense in advance and replace a new group of soldiers to guard Zhao Deyan!

Although Anshun Mountain has a lot of money and can bribe some soldiers and generals, he can't bribe all the 80,000 soldiers in Zhechong Prefecture in Bingzhou, right

"Wait!"

Unexpectedly, Li Junxian said at this time: "I think we need to be cautious about this matter. Although the current batch of government soldiers guarding the cells may have been bribed by Anshun Mountain, they are a predictable force to us. There is a risk. If we rashly send other people to change the defense, no one knows whether any of the people who are replaced have been bribed by Anshun Mountain. On the contrary, we will underestimate the enemy and relax our vigilance because of the replacement of the cell guards. This will be even more It gave the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of..."

"Phew~!"

Before Li Junxian finished speaking, an arrow shot towards the turret window, piercing Li Junxian's back of the heart!

Li Junxian's back was facing the window at this time!

All this happened too suddenly!

"General Li, be careful~!"

Tiedan turned sideways to the window. He first heard a "whoosh" sound piercing the air, and then he saw an arrow flying into the window out of the corner of his eye. The arrow was as fast as a stream of light, and he had no time to react. , only had time to say a reminder. At the same time, his heart was filled with shock and worry. What was shocking was that someone in this city dared to shoot arrows at Li Junxian, the commander of the Hundred Cavalry Division. What was worried was that Li Junxian might not be able to do it well. If you had time to dodge this arrow, you might be injured!

"Keng~!"

In fact, there was no need for Tiedan to remind him. When he heard the sound of arrows piercing the air outside the window, Li Junxian had already moved!

In the meantime, he drew out the sword from his waist with his right hand. At the same time, he quickly turned around and swung his sword directly towards the incoming arrow!

His series of movements were as fast as lightning and completed in one go. Moreover, his back was turned to the window at first, but it was as if he had eyes on the back of his head. He could know the location of the arrow. The moment he turned around, he I can wave the sword in my hand and slash at that feathered arrow!

The arrow cluster and the sword blade collided fiercely, but the power of the arrow could not match the power that Li Junxian poured into the sword with both arms. The arrow cluster and the sword blade were separated at the first touch. The former was directly thrown away, but a small gap appeared on Li Junxian's sword blade!

Seeing this scene, everyone in the room breathed a sigh of relief!

By the way, Dugu Xin, the commander of the Forbidden Army, had been seriously injured by a Turkic spy. Now if Li Junxian is seriously injured again, the hope of rescuing Li Tai will become even slimmer!

"There are assassins! Protect the general~!"

Seeing that Li Junxian was out of danger, Zhao Kang was relieved at first, but he quickly reacted and hurriedly protected Li Junxian and shouted loudly outside the house.

As a Hundred Cavalry, if they can't even protect their own general, then what are they called a Hundred Cavalry

"Wow~!"

Following Zhao Kang's shout, a large number of sword-wielding sergeants rushed in from outside the house. There were hundreds of cavalry and Fang Gongteng's personal guards inside. They quickly gathered around Li Junxian and Fang Gongteng and were on alert.

"The assassin is there~!"

Tiedan's newborn calves are not afraid of tigers. At this time, he had already leaned down to the window. Looking out, he saw a man wearing a bamboo hat and holding a bow and arrow standing on the roof of a two-story mansion directly north of them. Man, he was shocked at first, because the man was at least three hundred steps away vertically from where they were now, not to mention that the assassin shot from low to high, and in the end he was able to shoot so accurately. How terrifying will the archer's strength be~

Why did such a powerful person appear in Taiyuan City? Could this assassin also be one of the Turkic spies

At this moment, many questions emerged in Tiedan's mind, but he didn't bother to delve into them at all. He pointed at the location of the assassin and shouted to Li Junxian, Fang Gongteng and others.

"Chasing~!"

Everyone looked in the direction pointed by Tiedan's right hand, and sure enough they saw a man wearing a bamboo hat, who was about to put away his bow and arrows and run away. Zhao Kang quickly greeted the people around him and was about to jump off the tower directly from the window!

"Wait a minute~!"

At this time, Li Junxian frowned. He pushed aside Zhao Kang and others who were surrounding him, and quickly came to the window. After locking his eyes on the assassin who was about to escape, a flash of rosiness flashed in his eyes. With a thoughtful look, he then said to Zhao Kang and others: "I'm going to chase him! All of you stay here and wait for me to come back~!"

"General! Don't..."

Zhao Kang and others were shocked when they heard this, and were about to speak out to stop him, but before he could finish his words, Li Junxian jumped out of the window and flew towards the bottom of the tower!

As the northern capital of the Tang Dynasty, Taiyuan City's walls were still very high. If Zhao Kang and others were to jump like this, they would most likely be injured. However, Li Junxian's martial arts skills were so strong that there would be no impact at all if he jumped!

This is why Li Junxian stopped Zhao Kang and others, but insisted on chasing the assassins in person. Of course, this is only one of the reasons. There is a deeper reason why Li Junxian chose to chase the assassins alone, and that is this Although the arrow the assassin shot at him was fast, he did not feel murderous intent from it!

After landing, Li Junxian jumped directly, leaped to the roof closest to him, and then flew away in the direction of the assassin's "escape". After a few dodgers, he and the figure at this moment disappeared. In the sight of everyone!

"Let's go! Brothers, follow me to protect the general!"

Zhao Kang stood there and struggled for a long time, and finally decided to "disobey" a military order. He shouted at the few hundred knights around him.

"stop!"

When Fang Gongteng saw this, he quickly shouted: "You have all forgotten what General Li said? You all stay where you are, waiting for General Li to come back! Are you going to disobey the military order?"

Zhao Kang blushed and said angrily: "But if something happens to the general, who can bear the responsibility? Even if it means disobeying military orders, I, Zhao Kang, have to protect the general!"

"Everyone stop!"

Fang Gongteng frowned and scolded: "Do you think that a mere thief can hurt General Li? With General Li's martial arts, no one in Taiyuan City can hurt him! Besides, the city is now under martial law and there are patrolling soldiers everywhere. General Li Once you catch up with the assassin, the patrolling soldiers will definitely rush to support you as soon as possible. It's too late for you to go now, and it will only cause trouble to General Li! He must have a deep meaning for letting you stay here, just wait and see Just do it!”
