The bandits and reat distress After all, General Cai is already of old age Although the arnificent, in fact, it was also called the ‘retirement army’ by others It was not located in an area where neither villages nor shops could be seen, it’s steadily in the middle Apart from the occasional disorder, it was basically used to distribute reinforcements to the border
At this time, most of Cai Fen’s troops were divided by the north and the west He had no Eagle Armors on his hands Combined with his cautious nature, he did not dare to take any risks, being harassed by theout the origin and develop himself with the terrain on the map, then sent someone to contact General Cai to prepare to surround them from two sides
The rebellious bandits did not know the leader of this troops from the capital, but after several explorations, they found that the group was even uns, but never fired theht Cavalry, and each time they would chase after for athat this ar to encircle the his previous style of fighting but not pursuing, pouring out the re troops of the Central Plains Garrison to raid and encircle the rebellious mob
In fact, there was not much in Central Plains Garrison force If the two sides clashed, there was no certainty ould ee victorious, but the bandits were accusto style of ‘you enter, I retreat’ assu that they were slippery loaches, they did not have the heart to use all their accue in battle, hence reusing their old trick of retreating while fighting, hiding away from Cai Fen On their way to withdraw, they ran into Gu Yun who had been waiting for a long time
Gu Yun ordered the Heavy Armors loaded with spears to aim their muzzles directly at the bandits The bandit leader saw that the “young ain, he immediately ordered his men to rush into the Heavy Armors’ formation
The defensive line of the Heavy Arled’ to resist The bandits discovered that there was nothing inside the reat joy, they beca forward
Until the bandits were all trapped inside, the ‘paper’ Heavy Artillery suddenly sounded The bandits were caught off guard, men and horses fell down Before they could retreat, they were surrounded by the Light Cavalry and the Cai ar out fro them inside the pot
The bandits’ for’ was captured alive Gu Yun’s eyes ached frohtly and bumpy appearance of the bandit He intended to throw the man directly to Shen Yi to play with “Ask him where his accomplices are, who had instructed hi for us to rob frohed fiercely: “Marshal, you have turned mad from poverty!”
Gu Yun waved his hand: “Beat him if he doesn’t speak… use torture to extract inforo catch up with Old Cai”
He was about to leave when he saw a guard holding a short sith a peculiar shape It was a bit longer than a dagger, the tip was bent slightly inward, creating a beautiful curve It was quite different from the short sword in Central Plains Gu Yun felt that it appeared familiar He reached out to receive it
“Marshal, this was found on the bandits leader’s body”
Gu Yun took the short sword and touched the blade with his fingers He squinted and whispered: “This is frohteen Tribes” Chen Qing Xu came over and said, “Marquis, have your iron plates loosened?”
“No, I a Miss Chen to run around with us in the ht” Gu Yun shook his head and held the handle of the blade for a et in the way?”
“It is not short, this is a blade for wo Xu took the curved short sword and hteen tribes dined on wind and drank dew, fighting for food against the beasts of the grassland, thus there is often such a groove at the handle In case of clashi+ng with a powerful beast, it can prevented the sword froht The steel inal owner h status And the handle is mostly tailor-made, the hands of the person must have been very small, similar to mine, it should be a woman – Marquis sir, look here”
She flipped the handle around for Gu Yun, there was a complex pattern on the underside, like a totem entwined by numerous flowers and vines, wrapped in theXu said, “I saw this pattern of flowers and vines in an abandoned ruin of the Eighteen Tribes I heard the slaves of the Han people ere captured say that it was the syhteen Tribes’ Goddess”
“I know,” Gu Yun’s face suddenly turned grave “I also knoho the sy when Shen Yi had coht of the pattern, he let out a heavy breath: “The heart of the earth?”
Chen Qing Xu asked in confusion: “Who?”
Shen Yi: “Hu Ge Er… Xiu Niang, she… Hasn’t she been dead for years? How could it be…”
Gu Yun waved at him, took the knife and turned to the place where the bandit leader Huo Long was being iuards
He was holding the knife, neither joy nor anger could be detected on his face The slightly curved knife was already very old, yet it was still sharp, bringing with it the feeling of inhu out a layer of flesh and blood as soon as it was stabbed into the body
Gu Yun pinned the tip of his knife to Huo Long’s chin: “I heard that you did not confess where your old nest and your rebel army are, you have also refused to say who caused you to take advantage of the situation to harass the Cai Ar: “Bah, little white face!”
Gu Yun laughed as he heard this, enjoying it quite a bit – in his view, scoldingwo cursed at was very good looking
“You can talk to your heart’s content” Gu Yun said to Shen Yi “In the face of national difficulties, thisin communication with the Man Those barbarian bunch have not entered the gate yet you are already here licking their feet first… It is a waste ofyou, put this information on display for everyone to see to heard the first half, he was confused, he then becahtened He could see that Gu Yun was not joking With a disdainful attitude, he rose slowly to leave Huo Long struggled hard: “Pouringofficer! All the brothers know that I am a man who stands up to heaven and earth You dare to slanderhteen Tribes’ blade in front of the Huo Long: “People in Central Plains call this thing Wolf’s Fang steel The curved crescent tip is the typical design of the barbarian, isn’t this yours?”
Huo Long was stunned
“The scabbard and groove are specially made The sheath was made from the best leather, and the totem on the handle are as lively as real, this must have been made by a renowned expert Ordinary barbarians would not be able to have this If the original oas not wealthy, they ed to nobility”
Gu Yun lifted his chin slightly and glanced at Huo long “I aly, your brothers all know you carry this thing on your body all day, but nobody knows the origin of it, anorant country bu cried out: “That… That thing belonged to hed aloud, “Is that so, sounds quite reasonable I have seen people carry objects from their lovers But this is the first time I had seen someone who missed their ne and ht”
“That woman put down more than a hundred brothers of my camp with poison, stabbed the the hilltop to a clean The entire mountain, even the birds were burnt to ash I was the only one who could escape, leavingknohere she came from, nor did I know that she was a barbarian I only carried this knife to re furiously roared: “Dog officer, you can slander , but if you dare to pour this bucket of shit on me, even if I became a demon, I will still bite you to death!”
Shen Yi let out an unahed and said: “Your teeth are still so sharp, continuing with yourinto a bandit’s nest for no reason, burning the bandits on the mountain all on her own? How fresh – Marshal, do the theatre troupes invited to your hed: “I cannot even afford any e, what theatre troupe …”
Huo Long stared at them: “Marshal… Which Marshal?
Gu Yun spun the blade in his hand at a dizzying speed, giving hi instantly came to a realization, he shudder: “You…You are… Gu…Gu”
“Don’t just claim people to be your relatives Who is your aunt?” Shen Yi interrupted him, “Tell us how you have colluded with the barbarians and harassed the people”
The word aunt [姑 -Gū] and Gù [Gù Yún] sounded si’s face reddened: “I said it was my enemy! Goddamnit, if there was any word that was untrue, let !
“That wo, she seeive her a ride We stopped and robbed the caravan on the way Seeing that she was quite beautiful, we also captured her to thea baby still in diaper, it doesn’t look to be a full nant…”
Inside, Shen Yi was terrified, but on the outside, he asked as cal said: “Nineteen… twenty years ago”
Under the died a look It sounded similar to the story of when the barbarian Goddess fled that year, then the baby should be Chang Geng, but as the one in Xiu Niang’s belly?
Shen Yi: “What happened afterwards?”
Huo Long leaned back and said in a hoarse voice: “Most of the other people ere captured in the mountains threw a tantruood, but her brain see quite well She did not respond when people talked to her, did not cry out when being beaten, did not resist whatever people ordered her to do Within only a few ave birth to a baby”
Gu Yun’s hand holding the knife tightened slightly…somehohen he heard this, he suddenly felt a kind of terror The intuition that had never been wrong for soin his heart
“They all said that woiven birth are not clean For a period, nobody would touch her nor care about her, but for fear that she would run ae chained her feet in the roo her some food everyday, yet she did not die…
“After a while, one ofthat woman’s beauty, he had sneaked away to come see her When he came back, he had told me in horror that there was only one baby left at her side, the other one was gone”
Shen Yi al, he blurted out: “Which one is ?”
