Chapter 1131 The Courage of Every Man
The group of strangers who came ashore from Dengzhou in a small fishing boat were indeed from Goguryeo, and they were the master guards in the Goguryeo palace.
They sneaked into Dengzhou in order to assassinate Li Qinzai.
Li Qinzai did not delay after receiving Li Zhi's order, and immediately left the Tang army's camp, and went straight to Dengzhou on a navy ship.
However, there are Goguryeo scouts lurking everywhere outside the Tang army camp. Their eyes are always on the camp, and they don't miss the slightest sign of trouble.
There was a lot of movement when Li Qinzai left the camp. From Li Ji to ordinary soldiers in the army, they all came out to see him off. Of course, this scene also fell into the eyes of Goguryeo spies.
Li Qinzai's identity is actually not difficult to find out. Goguryeo has long had the names, official positions and portraits of many generals of the Tang army. The spies saw Li Qinzai's appearance from a distance and compared them with the portraits. Well, the identity is confirmed.
Outside Black Bone City, Li Qinzai led [-] soldiers and smashed the last card of the Lord of Goguryeo's surprise.
If before this, the ratio of victory and defeat between Datang and Goguryeo was seven to three, then Li Qinzai's battle outside the black bone city once again tilted the balance of victory to the Tang army, and the ratio instantly became nine to one, which basically belonged to There is no suspense.
Therefore, the Lord of Goguryeo hated Li Qinzai deeply.
Hearing that Li Qinzai had left the Tang army camp and boarded a navy ship, the lord immediately judged that the emperor of the Tang Dynasty had summoned the seriously injured Li Qinzai to return home.
How can we not avenge the hatred that we do not share?
The king immediately selected more than ten masters from the palace, came to Dengzhou in advance to ambush, and waited for the opportunity to kill Li Qinzai. One was to avenge and eliminate the enemy, and the other was to attack the morale of the Tang army and muddy the water on the Goguryeo battlefield.

Where Li Qinzai can't see, or even be completely unaware of, a group of little people who have never met each other are willing to give up their family and gamble their lives for him.
Throughout the ages, those who rewrite history have always been small people, and emperors and generals just follow the trend.

This is a small road outside the city of Dengzhou, and there are many pedestrians on the road. After all, Dengzhou has a seaport, and it can be regarded as a trading city. On the road, there are all kinds of coachmen and merchants, and there are also poor fishermen in various costumes. The servant of the little official who is in a hurry.
Those Goguryeo assassins mixed in the crowd were inconspicuous. As long as they didn't speak, they looked no different from ordinary Tang fishermen, and they wouldn't arouse anyone's suspicion at all.
A group of Dengzhou fishermen followed them unhurriedly, their expressions were nervous and fearful, but every step they took was still firm.
Four or five miles north of Dengzhou City, there is a small hill with dense forests. In this autumn season, many yellow fallen leaves have accumulated in the forest, which are thick and soft to the feet.
As the Goguryeo assassins were walking, they suddenly turned a corner, and more than a dozen people got into the mountain forest by the roadside.
The fishermen following behind were taken aback. After discussing with each other, they turned around and went to the other side of the forest, where they also got into the forest.
Then several people gathered together to discuss quietly.
"What should we do? Did they find us when they went into the forest?" A fisherman's face turned pale. He had never done this job before and had no experience at all.
"Probably not..." Another middle-aged fisherman frowned and said slowly: "If we are discovered, even if they don't attack us on the road, they should at least do something else."
"They've drilled into the forest now. Look at the location of this forest..." The fisherman pointed to the road outside the forest and said, "From Dengzhou Port to Dengzhou City, this is the only way into the city."
"If Li Shuai got off the ship from Dengzhou Port, what would be the first thing he would do? He is a big shot, and the governor of Dengzhou would always go to the harbor to meet Li Shuai in person, right? Li Shuai is the one who welcomes him. Don't you want to go to Dengzhou City to socialize with the officials of the Governor's Mansion?"
"Then, this road is the only way for Li Shuai to pass, and the mountain forest beside the road has so many and thick fallen leaves. Aim the crossbow at the road by the forest, think about it, what will happen when Li Shuai's official driver passes by?"
After some analysis by the middle-aged fishermen, everyone was shocked.
"More than a dozen assassins, even with hundreds of crossbows firing at once, if a single crossbow arrow hits Li Shuai, the consequences will be unimaginable, and Li Shuai's personal guards will not be able to guard against it in the blink of an eye."
The fishermen suddenly became angry: "You bastard, dare to murder our hero of the Tang Dynasty, how can you teach him to do what he wants?"
"Tell me, what shall we do next?"
The middle-aged fisherman spread his hands innocently: "I don't know what to do either."
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily: "What you said just now is so clear, how could you not know it?"
The middle-aged fisherman said leisurely: "Did you make a mistake? I'm just like you, just a fisherman..."
Everyone was immediately discouraged. That's right, everyone was just a fisherman. They really don't know how to do this kind of brainstorming and skillful work. They have never done it in their life.
"How about... set fire to the woods? There are so many fallen leaves in the woods, just light the fire." A fisherman suggested.
"No, the forest is burning, and they are not fools, don't they know how to run away? If people run away, they will still lie in ambush in another place, and we will be slaughtered if we show our signs."
"Then what should we do? Could it be that we rushed over to fight them recklessly?"
"Just wait, the fourth brother has gone to report to the officials, and the officials will come soon, then we won't be afraid."
As soon as the words fell, there was a rustling sound from the other side of the forest.
The fishermen heard it and looked at each other in horror.
Before they could react, more than a dozen arrows suddenly shot out from the dense forest, puffing and hitting three fishermen. The fishermen fell to the ground screaming, and the others were terrified. The terrified eyes looked at each other, revealing the same message.
Discovered by assassins!
run or not?In terms of skill, they are no match for flattery. If they don't run, they can only be slaughtered here one by one by the assassins.
If he ran away, what they said just now to clear the way for Li Shuai and eliminate the enemy would become a big joke.
The fishermen lay down in the thick grass. The assassins on the opposite side lost sight of their targets, and there was no movement at once. The two sides faced each other silently.
After a long time, the middle-aged fisherman gritted his teeth and said angrily, "When I've been shrinking my head all my life, when I've had nothing to do, I won't shrink back this time!"
"I can't fight a fight, but can't a spearfish?"
Speaking of which, the middle-aged fisherman picked up the harpoon in his hand, aimed at the direction where the bow and arrow from the opposite side were shooting, and threw the harpoon viciously towards the opposite side as a spear.
There was a sudden scream from the opposite side, and it stopped immediately after the sound, obviously covered his mouth.
The fishermen showed surprise expressions.
Actually shot!
