Chapter 50 Wang Junqing's Choice

At this time, Ximen's guard's face changed greatly and looked more solemn, but he was not because of Xu Jinghong's words and the sudden assassination, but because he finally recognized the person standing behind Xu Jinghong. Because when the assassin was in front of him, it was not Xu Jinghong who injured his leg with the first arrow, but Wang Junqing!

Xu Jinghong only shot two consecutive arrows later, but in terms of speed and accuracy, his arrows did not reach the height of Wang Junqing. If he was allowed to shoot first, the two arrows may not all hit.

But Wang Junqing's move also completely exposed himself to the eyes of the public. Other soldiers were fine, but the guards immediately recognized him. He is the eldest son of Wang Chong, the southwest general. He is the governor of the scout camp. How can Ximen's guard not recognize him? Because he suddenly found that there was still Wang Junqing among these people, the guard had completely ignored Xu Jinghong and did not pay attention to his unreasonable questions.

After the shock, the guard came forward and saluted, "The guard of the humble West Gate has seen Lord Dutong!"

Wang Junqing already knew the other party's possible reaction, and at this time, he couldn't pretend anymore. He just said, "Don't need to be polite. I'm just here by my friends."

This sentence fell into Tong Meng's ears, which made him even more shocked. He could see that Wang Junqing's so-called friend must be Xu Jinghong. At this time, he was very lucky. Fortunately, he didn't get big just because of Xu Jinghong's identity, otherwise he would be embarrassed, so he hurriedly arched Xu Jinghong and met him.

"Tong guard, now is not the time to talk. I think it's better to do all the things in front of us." Wang Junqing kindly reminded Tong Meng when he was obviously at a loss because of his appearance.

Tong Meng suddenly woke up and immediately ordered, "Take good care of everyone and bring the assassin here!" He was still a little nervous, because after all, the assassin was the person around him. No matter what his identity was, he could not avoid responsibility. However, in front of Wang Junqing, he can't do anything to cover it up.

The faces of those "barians" have also become more ugly. Although they have just come to the West, Wang Junqing's name is still very clear. This time, I actually got into trouble with him, but I'm afraid it's really a big disaster. I'm afraid that if Ye Dutong comes out to save him, he may not be able to save himself, which makes them shiver greatly.

By this time, the soldiers had come forward and surrounded the assassin. Someone pulled the man with his spear, but found that the other party did not move. He boldly approached, and then exclaimed, "He is dead!" Yes, Wuying has died. After his limbs were injured and he found that he could not walk away anyway, he resolutely bit the medicine sac hidden in his mouth, and the highly poisonous drug took his life in a blink of an eye.

After hearing their words, Xu Jinghong raised his eyebrows, and he was already sure of the origin of the assassin. He must be the killer of Shadow Killing Hall again, otherwise his martial arts skills would not be so high, and he would not be so determined after being captured. In order to further verify his judgment, Xu Jinghong walked over and scratched the long knife in his hand, cutting off his whole sleeve, revealing the right arm.

On the inside of the arm that has been stained with blood, a dark line is there, which is the symbol of the Shadow Killing Hall - a blood-stripping knife.

"It seems that Shadow Killing Hall must kill me!" This understanding made Xu Jinghong more vigilant. He knew that one or two must have three or four. In the future, he must be as careful as possible, otherwise under the spying of these killers, there is really no guarantee that he can escape every time.

"This... Lord Tong, what should I do about the situation here?" Looking at the bodies all over the ground, Tong Meng finally couldn't help asking Wang Junqing for advice.

"Just take people back and ask them carefully. Whether they are barbarians or not, if they dare to ambush my Song officers and soldiers near Dingxi City, they can't be forgiven!" Wang Junqing did not refuse, so he gave his own meaning.

The child did not say much and immediately ordered people to take these "barians" back to the city. Unexpectedly at this time, Xu Jinghong suddenly came forward and said, "General Wang, wait! I have a few words to say to you.

"Oh?" Wang Junqing saw what Xu Jinghong had to say, so he motioned Tong Meng to wait, and then came to Xu Jinghong's side: "Do you have any other ideas?"

"General Wang must also know their identity, right?" Xu Jinghong asked bluntly.

"Hey, I fell into your trick and let you come back as a witness, and now I can't stay out of it. However, Ye Hao is also too bold to send someone to pretend to be a barbarian to kill you. Wang Junqing naturally had a clear understanding of this matter, and there was no circle at that time.

"General Wang, in this case, isn't it troublesome to take these people into the city to ask more about it? Yes, Ye Hao did make a big mistake in this matter, but after all, he was the former governor of Yunzhou, and now the local battalion is unified, and the influence in the army is not small. If there is a contradiction with him because of this, it will be very unfavorable to the stability of our West City.

Wang Junqing couldn't help nodding. He also thought of this, but it happened in front of his own eyes. Did he let these people go back like this? I'm afraid that even Xu Jinghong may not be able to agree to this, and most of the people they sent have died in their own hands, and this Liangzi has been married for a long time. Can it be recovered?

Xu Jinghong knew that he did not understand his intention as soon as soon as he saw the other party's expression, so he stepped forward and said, "General, the only way now is to make mistakes and get rid of these people as barbarians. In this way, there will be a lot less trouble, and Ye Hao will not really turn against the general because he doesn't know the truth of the matter!"

"Hmm?" After thinking about it, Wang Junqing also felt that Xu Jinghong's proposal was the simplest to solve the problem at hand. As long as he really kills them as barbarians, Ye Hao naturally has nothing to say, then he can't encourage his men to do anything. However, when he thinks of the identity of these people, he still can't do anything.

If they are facing barbarians, Wang Junqing will not frown when they kill tens of thousands of them, but after all, they are fake. In fact, they are Song soldiers. If they are killed like this, he will never feel good.

Xu Jinghong also saw his hesitation and said, "General, sometimes it is worth sacrificing some people for the overall situation."

This sentence gave Wang Junqing support. After suddenly nodding, he turned around and ordered Tong Meng: "These people are all barbarians who want to sneak into the West City to destroy it. In order to ensure the stability of Dingxi City, I think it's better to execute them all on the spot!"

"Ah?" Tong Meng shuddered when he heard this. It was not a trivial matter for him to see the identity of these people and let him kill them all.

However, Wang Junqing's last sentence dispelled his concerns: "All the consequences are borne by the original unity, and you just do it!"

"Yes!" Tong Meng nodded and agreed, and then issued an order to his subordinates: "These barbarians dare to attack me, it's really not a pity to die! Let's execute them on the spot, which is also a revenge for our brothers who died before!"

With this sentence, those "barians" suddenly panicked and shouted one after another: "We are not barbarians. We are Song Jun, Song Jun in Yunzhou!" We are just ordered to do things. Please forgive us!" Someone has knelt down on the ground and kowtowed to beg for mercy.

Those soldiers also hesitated. Although they did not have the eyesight of their own officials, they also had deep doubts about it and did not dare to do it for a moment. However, under the strict order of Tong Meng and Wang Junqing, they had to cut these "barbarians" who had no resistance. In an instant, more than 30 people were also killed in front of the gate, and the blood stained the whole ground red.

Looking at the dead "barians", Wang Junqing sighed deeply. When he looked at Xu Jinghong, he had a different feeling. This teenager not only has the skills and mind that soldiers should have, but also the ruthlessness of soldiers, which made him feel a chill for no reason.

After a long time, Wang Junqing came out of this feeling and then put his eyes on Ye Tao and others in front of him: "Then what should they say? They were killed in our Song people's armor. Do you want to say that they colluded with barbarians?

"I'm afraid it won't work." Xu Jinghong shook his head and said, "If so, Ye Hao still can't escape, so it doesn't make sense for us to kill these people. So he said that they were killed by the barbarians, so that Ye Hao could only bear this breath, because he could not admit that the identity of these people was related to himself!"

"It seems that this is the only way!" Wang Junqing sighed and said, "But this relationship between Ye Hao and me in the future has been completely married..."

"General Wang, don't worry, I don't think God will let him be free for too long!" Xu Jinghong said bluntly.

After a wry smile, Wang Junqing and Xu Jinghong took the people of the fifth team back to Dingxi. In this battle, they killed nearly 100 enemies, but only five people died in the fifth team, which was also a big victory. This may also be Wang Junqing's only gain this time. He knows very well that he must recruit these people to his own command, and they will become rare talents in the southwest decommutation camp of the Song Dynasty!
