As soon as Chen Bai walked away, he immediately contacted the puppet beast "Little Mosquito". She had sent it to follow the giant just in case.

After she sneaked into the royal city, a series of chaotic situations followed one after another. She had no spare time to simultaneously sense the situation on the other side. Now she desperately wanted to know what was happening on the other side.

The screen was quickly connected, and Chen Baiqi stared at the virtual projection, concentrating on it.

She saw the "little mosquito" buzzing in the air, flying at a low position. She saw light snow falling in the gray-blue sky, and snow flakes flying. A group of people wearing green clothes and leather armor were walking slowly on the trail.

, their rear manpower carried dozens of loads, and the oxen and horse-drawn carriages pulled dozens of two-wheeled carts. The goods were tied with heavy hemp ropes on the carts. They walked along the way, and the wheels made two deep tracks.

.

Could this be a convoy transporting baggage?

Chen Baiqi made the mosquito circle in the air so that she could have a clearer view.

They were walking along a narrow river, allowing only two people to walk side by side. A group of people responsible for reconnaissance first explored the road and frightened the birds in the forest. After checking that there were no problems, they signaled the rest of the troops to continue driving forward.

In a long queue of hundreds of people, she didn't see Ju Zai, but she believed that he should be here. "Little Mosquito" got her order and would not be too far away from him.

But according to the original arrangement, he should have left Luoyang long ago and took the letter she handed over to join Tian Wen and the others, but now it seems that he has not been obedient and has chosen to stay in the team.

I just don't know if something happened here that prevented him from getting away, or if there was something hidden in it that forced him to continue to lurk.

——

In fact, something did happen here that was beyond the expectations of the two masters and servants.

Not long after Chen Baiqi left, Chen Suishen made an appointment with Xiong Da to go to the outskirts of the city to discuss important matters alone. Since he was doing things in secret, Xiong Da only took Ju and one of his cronies to the appointment.

As soon as the people arrived, Chen Suishen began to explain his strategic layout one by one. Since he was the commander of the three parties, he asked Xiong Da to be responsible for the water route and the Quanrong Mountain route, while he was responsible for inserting into the dense forest and walking through the Yin Valley.

Trail.

The troops were divided into three routes. Although the water route was difficult, the mountain route was difficult, and the land route was dangerous, after all, they were nomadic people and were more familiar with and grasped the down-to-earth combat method. Naturally, the water route contained the highest risk index.

Unexpectedly, Chen Suishen assigned it to the Bear Clan in revenge for his personal vengeance, but he himself chose to work as a rake.

These three routes had been explored early in the morning, and the terrain trends were clear to the mind. Arrangements had been made along the routes. The goods escorted by one of the routes were real, while the other two routes were responsible for booby traps.

As for which road is true and which two are false, Chen Suishen has kept this matter covered up so tightly that even Xiong Da and Quan Rong and other allies don't know about it. Chen Suishen believes that the less people know, the safer it is.

He now only trusts his own people, and the rest are nothing more than cannon fodder and pathfinding stones in his eyes.

Xiong Da was naturally dissatisfied after hearing this. He had a fiery temper, so he argued with Chen Suishen for a few words, seeming to be at odds with each other. Chen Suishen still cared about Xiong Da because of the previous incident, so he no longer treated Xiong Da with respect.

of hypocrisy.

He said coldly: "You, the Bear Clan, are just a group of worms who attached themselves to our Chu Kingdom after a defeat. Who are you qualified to choose and shirk?"

These words greatly irritated Xiong Da, who immediately blushed, and Ju provoked him from the side: "Master, this Chu people are obviously using us as targets for their arrows. It's just a matter of success. If there is a slight mistake, I'm afraid it will be a disaster."

Will become ruthless."

The cronies also agreed, but he was more rational, so he stopped Xiong Da and whispered in his ear: "Chief, we will discuss it later when we get back."

Chen Suishen's ears were sharp, and he heard this small whisper. He dusted off the edge of his robe and said: "Xiong Da, you and I are both grasshoppers on the same rope. At this time, we should work together to serve my lord. You

If you shrink back and are timid, who will protect the thousands of old, young, women and children in your clan?" He sneered: "You should know that once the cavalry of the Six Nations Alliance sets foot on our Chu country, there will be no intact eggs in the nest.

Will there be another King of Chu who will take pity on you and other foreigners?"

These words made Xiong Dazhi, who was already furious, extinguish his anger. He glared at Chen Suishen gloomily, clenching his teeth tightly.

This time the Bear Tribe sent troops to assist the Chu State, it was in the name of cooperation, but in fact the Chu people had already taken away their relatives, pretending to "take care of them", but actually threatening them and not allowing them to retreat.

Chen Sui is well versed in the principle of giving equal importance to kindness and power. He added: "Don't worry, the Ruxiong clan has done a great job this time. Sui Shen will definitely report this matter to the lord. When the food and ambush are successfully accomplished, the summit will definitely reward him vigorously."

This is a great achievement for your clan. Brother Xiong Da must not be greedy for life and fear death, but should know how to take the overall situation into consideration."

Why didn't Xiong Da understand the despicable methods of these powerful people? He had been holding back all this time because he was caught in pain, but the other party was getting more and more excessive, and he didn't take the Bear Clan seriously anymore.

!

The peace and false sincerity on the surface are torn apart, but underneath are traces of contempt and contempt.

Chen Suishen felt that he was almost certain to defeat Xiong Da, so he was not anxious about his counterattack.

But Ju could clearly see from behind that Xiong Da's back was stiff, his face and neck were red, and his hands had veins bulging from excessive exertion. They were now like red coals, and they would burn as long as more firewood was added.

He remembered that the girl had told him that he could control Xiong Da at will before nightfall, so he decided to give it a try.

"Master, why do you need to endure it any longer?"

These few words had some suggestive meaning and were very light, but when they fell into Xiong Da's ears, they were like thunder. His eyes suddenly widened, his breathing was rapid and rough as an ox's breath, and his eyes were red.

He roared from his throat, opened his arms, and rushed towards Chen Suishen.

Chen Suishen was shocked, but his reaction was not slow. He kicked Xiong Da directly in the chest. The kick was not light, but Xiong Da's body was as strong as a mountain, so he only blocked his kick. Xiong Da

He grabbed his feet with both hands, preventing him from withdrawing his legs, and continued to rush forward with brute force.

"Xiong Da!"

Chen Suishen shouted angrily and was pushed back by one leg.

"Clan, clan leader..." Xiong Da's cronies looked panicked. He wanted to step forward, but he was a little afraid and hesitant.

While the two were exchanging blows, Ju was expressionless from behind, but a faint light flashed in his eyes.

He felt that he should not miss such a great opportunity, so he stepped forward and pulled out the scimitar from his henchman, who looked at him blankly.

"Master, take the sword!"

Xiong Da took it with his hand, grabbed the blade and slashed towards Chen Suishen.

Chen Suishen also brought some people with him when he left the city this time, but they all stayed on the outside for reconnaissance and inspection. He did not intend to alert them to come, just because he was confident that he could subdue barbarians like Xiong Da.

Although Chen Suishen's martial arts skills were not very good, he still had some tricks. He avoided the shadow of the knife repeatedly, found the right opportunity to hand over Xiong Da's knife, tied his hands behind his back, kicked him and bent his legs to the ground.

The knife was placed on his neck.

He looked down coldly: "Xiong Da, are you looking for death?"

Seeing that everything was settled and the patriarch of the clan was defeated and fell to the ground, Xiong Da's cronies rushed forward and hugged his hands and thighs, pleading with a pale face: "General, the clan leader was just confused for a moment..."

puff--

Before he could finish his words, scarlet-hot liquid was sprayed on his face and the corners of his mouth.

He turned his head slowly and dully, only to see the clan leader's eyes widening, a long and narrow gash was cut on his neck, and blood was pouring out.

The clan leader gurgled in his throat and seemed to want to say something, but in the end he could only widen his eyes, open his mouth and die.

"Chen Suishen - you've gone too far!" The confidant's eyes were slit, and he wanted to grab the knife and kill Chen Suishen, but Chen Suishen stabbed him in the abdomen first.

After he fell, Chen Suishen looked at Xiong Da, who was still dead, with a deep expression on his face, obviously unable to recover.

He didn't intend to kill Xiong Da just now... Xiong Da clearly took his hand and committed suicide.

It's just... I guess even if he said this, no one would believe it.

Although Chen Suishen felt that Xiong Da's death was very absurd and weird, he did not dwell on it for too long. He reacted very quickly and immediately had Ju and the rest of his entourage arrested, and ordered that their mouths be sealed, and no one could go to court.

News of Xiong Da’s death was revealed outside.

After all, Chen Suishen was a very deep-rooted man. Even though something unexpected like Xiong Da's happened, he quickly collected his emotions and went to the meeting point to join the Canu Rong team as if nothing had happened.

Chen Shen was indeed cunning. After contacting the Quanrong clan, he also told them about the previous layout. After the troops were divided into three groups, reality and imaginary alternated. He also mentioned the awe-inspiring righteousness of the Bear clan and volunteered to take the water route.

When the Quanrong Tribe heard that the most dangerous route fell on the Bear Tribe, they took the mountain road. Although they did not gain any advantage, it was not the worst loss, so they had no objections to this strategy.

It's just that the leader of Quanrong didn't understand why Xiong Da didn't come with Chen Suishen. Chen Suishen looked as usual and said that the Xiong tribe had already left the city by car, and his route required crossing the river by boat, so it was inconvenient to set off with them.

The Quanrong clan didn't have too much doubt after hearing this, but they still secretly wondered in their hearts that Xiong Da had always been strong and greedy, so how could he easily agree to take on such an obviously loss-making job? Could it be that there were other things that he didn't know about?

?

After returning from the meeting with the Quanrong tribe, Chen Suishen asked someone to bring Ju up. He looked at Ju. He knew that Xiong Da trusted this person so he took him with him. However, Xiong Da had only known this person for a short time.

On that day, what was it about him that caught Xiong Da's eyes and made him treat him so differently?

He was very tall, with thick and powerful limbs, and he was not handsome in appearance. He had no hair or eyebrows, but he had sharp edges and corners. When he stood there silently with his eyes drooped, he gave people a feeling of being as stable as a mountain.

He seemed to be capable of great things, and Chen Suishen finally gave him such an evaluation.

Although Xiong Da and his cronies died, he did not kill anyone. He thought about it afterwards. He needed a "witness" and a messenger to stabilize the warriors who came to the Bear tribe for him.

He doesn't have many people at his disposal, so he has to keep the people from the Bear Clan. For this reason, he needs people to cooperate with him in a play.

Ju can be regarded as the best candidate. First of all, he has just met Xiong Da and is not very close to him. It can be seen from the fact that he did not take excessive revenge after the death of Xiong Da and his cronies.

He believed that he could make him succumb as long as he offered inducements and threats.

He asked Ju to cooperate with him and blame Xiong Da's death directly on the assassins sent by the Six Nations Alliance. In this way, the people of the Bear Clan would obediently obey his orders even if they wanted to avenge Xiong Da.

Of course, he is still wary of the Bear Clan people now. He thinks of simply breaking up their team and moving some of them to his team for control. He will then move some people to lead the Bear Clan people there.

Carry out a booby-trap operation.

In this way, everything will be completely under his control, and he will feel more at ease.

Ju was being taken with him by Chen Suishen. He couldn't kill Ju for a while, otherwise it would arouse suspicion among the Bear tribe.

The boss knew very well that Chen Suishen was keeping an eye on him. He couldn't leave even if he wanted to, so he might as well stay and find out the true situation of these three convoys for the girl.
