In fact, at the beginning, Fang Gongteng was also worried that Li Junxian would be in danger if he went to chase the assassin alone. After all, Duguxin had been assassinated by Turkic spies in the city before. Now that Li Junxian has become the top general in Taiyuan City, the Turkic spies are hard to protect. He will not be assassinated again!
However, Fang Gongteng thought about it again. With Li Junxian's composure and stability, it was obviously impossible to do anything that he was not sure about, especially when there was a "lesson" from the assassination of Dugu Xin. If Li Junxian dared to go alone, then It proves that he himself has realized that there is no risk in this trip, so he specially ordered not to let anyone follow him!
Moreover, although the arrow shot by the mysterious man just now seemed extremely dangerous, Fang Gongteng did not feel murderous intent from that arrow. This sounds very contradictory, but it is the fact. For ordinary people, such things as murderous intent are difficult to understand. It may be illusory, but for a veteran like Fang Gongteng who has been in the army for many years and even often goes to the battlefield, the murderous intention is real and can be felt!
Of course, there is a more important point. In Fang Gongteng's view, if the mysterious man really wanted to assassinate Li Junxian, he could have chosen a better position and a better time, instead of standing low and going high like he is now. Shooting arrows everywhere, the arrow shot by the mysterious man is naturally difficult for ordinary people to dodge, but Li Junxian is also a master-level expert after all, so it is easy to dodge this arrow!
Therefore, the mysterious man's arrow was just superficial!
"Hmph! Although the general has great martial arts skills, it is easy to dodge open guns and difficult to guard against hidden arrows. If the thief has other helpers, the general will be in danger before he joins the army. What is your intention to prevent us from going to rescue the general~?"
Fang Gongteng's words did not completely reassure Zhao Kang. He snorted coldly and still insisted on going to support Li Junxian.
Although Zhao Kang and others are Baiqi, Fang Gongteng is still a member of the army in the same state, and now he is the nominal highest general of Bingzhou Zhechong Prefecture. Seeing Zhao Kang pressuring like this, he immediately said with a cold face:
"Fang is just persuading you to follow General Li's military orders. What's his intention? If those who are serving in the army don't even obey the general's orders, what kind of soldiers are they?"
"you… "
Zhao Kang was very angry when he heard this, but he finally sobered up a little. However, he was a little worried about his face. At this time, Han Li came out to smooth things over and said:
"Brother Zhao Kang is also worried about General Li's safety and is in a hurry, so his words are a bit conflicting. Don't worry about joining the army!"
Fang Gongteng clasped his fists and said hurriedly: "Fang understands, Mr. Han, don't worry, Fang will naturally not take it to heart about trivial matters!"
Han Li was Li Zexuan's father-in-law, so Fang Gongteng couldn't help but not be polite to him.
Han Lizheng nodded and said to Zhao Kang and others: "Although the words of the military commander Fang are a bit harsh, they are not unreasonable. Since it is General Li who asked you to wait here, then you can rest assured and wait for General Li to return safely." But, don’t act out of emotion!
Moreover, General Li is a cautious man and will never put himself in danger. Since he dares to go alone, it means that he is sure of getting out unscathed. Let's not go there and cause trouble. Let's wait and see what happens! "
Han Lizheng provided a step down for both sides, and now that the enemy is in front of them, it is indeed inappropriate for Baiqi and the Bingzhou local army to have a conflict. Zhao Kang and others also knew the importance. After hearing this, they clasped their fists and said:
"Master Han is right! Then I will wait here for the general to return safely!"
The waiting process was long and painful. Zhao Kang, Chen Fu and other Baiqi were anxiously running around in the house, almost looking at the direction of the inner city to the north, but Li Junxian never showed up. There were several times during which they almost couldn't help but rush out, but Li Junxian had been out for so long. Even if they went out to look for it, they wouldn't know where to look for a while, so they had to continue to wait quietly in the house!
During this period, Fang Gongteng also sent people to inquire about Li Junxian in the city, but Li Junxian just disappeared from the world. None of the Bingzhou Dayingfu soldiers who were scattered at every intersection in Taiyuan City saw Li Junxian, so , about two quarters of an hour later, even Fang Gongteng couldn't help but panic!
Could it be that something unexpected happened to Li Junxian? Or fell into the trap of the mysterious man
Although he had this worry in his heart, Fang Gongteng knew that it was useless to be anxious at this moment. On the contrary, it would make the people on his side confused. He ordered the soldiers in the city to increase the scope and speed of patrols, so as to track down Li Junxian. Traces, on the other hand, he asked Tiedan to climb on the ridge of the turret of the city wall and use binoculars to search for Li Junxian's location in the city!
Of course, with the current level of telescope production technology at Qiquge Workshop, it would be impossible to see every corner of Taiyuan City with just one telescope. The telescope in Tiedan’s hand can only see clearly ahead. The appearance of the person within three or four miles away, and if it is further away, it will be difficult to distinguish the face.
Fang Gongteng's move was just to make Tiedan aware of Li Junxian's return.
"Back! General Li is back~!"
More than a quarter of an hour later, just when everyone was going crazy waiting, Tiedan suddenly said loudly on the roof.
Immediately afterwards, Tiedan jumped down from the ridge of the roof and ran quickly into the turret. He repeated to everyone in the room: "General Li is back! It's in the northwest! Look!"
Tie Dan came to the window and pointed out the direction to everyone. Everyone looked in the direction of Tie Dan's finger and saw a black spot flickering on the ridges of the houses three miles away to the northwest. Although they couldn't see the black spot clearly. The specific appearance of the dot, but since Tiedan said that the black dot is Li Junxian, it means that Li Junxian is really back!
And seeing that his body was strong and strong, it didn't look like he was injured at all, so everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief!
After leaning a little, Li Junxian finally jumped up the city wall and came to the turret. Zhao Kang, Chen Fu and other hundreds of knights gathered around him and asked with concern on their faces: "General, are you okay?"
Fang Gongteng, Tiedan, Han Lizheng and others also looked at Li Junxian with concerned expressions.
Li Junxian waved his hand and said calmly: "I'm fine! But that assassin is quite good at light skills. I chased him for more than ten miles, but finally let him run away!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but be surprised. Li Junxian was a master in the middle stage of the Grand Master, and the assassin could actually escape from his hands. In this way, how advanced was the assassin's movement skills? ? In other words, the assassin's strength is much higher than that of Li Junxian
But how is this possible
First it was Xuan Ye and Tian Ying, then Dugu Xin, Li Junxian, and now a mysterious assassin came. How could so many top masters suddenly appear in the small Taiyuan City
"Has General Li figured out where the assassin came from?"
Fang Gongteng's eyes flashed and he asked thoughtfully.
Li Junxian shook his head and said: "I have never fought with him head-on, so I can't see where he's coming from!"
Seeing that Fang Gongteng still wanted to ask questions, Li Junxian quickly ordered Bai Qi beside him: "Zhao Kang, take people to the Governor's Mansion immediately. Today you will stay outside the prison and monitor the cell secretly. If you see anyone, Catch them all when they come out of their cells!”
"Yes~!"
Zhao Kang and others bowed down to accept the order.
Li Junxian then said to Fang Gongteng: "Fang joins the army. I'd like you to keep an eye on me at Tongfu Inn. I have something important to do and I have to go out!"
Li Junxian, who had been staying here since morning, actually asked to go out. Fang Gongteng was naturally a little strange when he heard this, but Li Junxian didn't say where he was going, so he couldn't ask in detail. He could only nod his head and said, "General Li, just go out, Fang will take good care of this place!"
"good!"
Li Junxian nodded, hugged his fists towards Tiedan and Han Lizheng, then turned and left.
