C12 (2/2)

Kong Sheng laughed bitterly and rubbed his forehead. No wonder no one liked being a temporary surrogate commander.

Just then, a soldier suddenly shouted, ”Lord Kong! Look at the other side! ”

Kong Sheng raised his head to look, only to see that the direction of the Moqiu Army camp across him had ignited with streams of black smoke. This pillar of smoke did not seem like smoke, it seemed more like someone had set a fire inside the Moqiu Army camp.

”Where's Qu Feizhi?!” Kong Sheng suddenly thought of something, and turned to shout.

The soldiers behind him looked at each other. After a while, a timid voice replied, ”Sir, I haven't seen Sir Qu since noon.”

”Damn it!” Kong Sheng slapped his thigh heavily.

Ever since the Moqiu Army had dug the trenches, the Fire Phoenix Army Knights had lost their usefulness. They were assigned to various sections of the city walls using brigades, and were ordered to obey the commands of the Border Army Supervisory Belt. However, Kong Sheng took care of Qu Feizhi's team by himself. He was really worried about the brat, so he had to put him aside and watch over him. This was also the period of war. Otherwise, Kong Sheng would have found a rope to tie Qu Feizhi up somewhere.

But even so, this brat still managed to escape after staring at Wan Zhenghao. The fire on the other side was most likely caused by him! Don't look at the fact that he was born into the Qu Feizhi family, his brain was usually active, but this brat was actually just a weak person. It would be too difficult for him to stop him if he wanted to do something. If it was based on accumulated achievements, Qu Feizhi would have been promoted to become Captain long ago. However, Kong Sheng did not give him a promotion, and kept pressing on him, making him captain under Ling Zilu's command. He wanted him to learn more from this experienced Captain Ling. Qu Feizhi was worried, he didn't want to apply to be redeployed back to the imperial capital or the other inland provinces to be captain, so he just waited at the border. In any case, it didn't matter whether the leader was a captain or a captain, as long as there was a war going on, everything else didn't matter.

When a smart, agile, and fighting heart and soul of a noble wanted to do something, the factors that stopped him were far too few.

Kong Sheng did not guess wrong. In the morning, when he and Zhao Handong were discussing about stone thrower s, Qu Feizhi had heard everything clearly from the side as the Lord Kong's personal guard. When it was lunch time, this guy took advantage of the chaos to slip out and swindle his way out of the west gate under the banner of the Lord Kong's secret order. Then, he mounted his warhorse and sped along the side of the mountain, thinking about the Moqiu State camp.

There were tens of thousands of people on both sides, so who would care about a knight in a corner? Furthermore, he was not wearing any military uniform and his riding skills were extraordinary. Furthermore, he had specifically gone to the corner and no one had noticed him.

When they were near the Moqiu Army Camp, Qu Feizhi hid the horses well and killed a Moqiu Soldier at the same time. After changing his clothes, he swaggered towards the Moqiu Army Battalion. His original plan was to rush straight to the main tent of the army and take action against the Tiger King s, since killing one of them would be more than enough to mess up his Moqiu Army. However, the interrogations within the Moqiu Army were also extremely strict, and the passwords and code words under each Tiger King's command were all different. After almost exposing himself, Qu Feizhi gave up on the idea of assassinating the Tiger King, and turned to look at the densely packed stone thrower at the other side of the tent.

Fire was something that everyone could do, but arson was a skilled job. It was impossible for ordinary people to burn as much as they wanted to. However, to Sir Qu Feizhi, the six year old Baron who dared to hang firecrackers on his father's horse's butt, this was definitely something that he wanted to do, liked to do, and could do.

Qu Feizhi had mixed with the injured soldiers, and this was the place that reflected the cruelty of war the most. Injured soldiers and corpses laid on the ground in a mess, the way to differentiate whether they were still alive was to go and kick them.

The wounded soldiers lined up to be bandaged, and the corpses were arranged neatly. Some of them came to pour the kerosene s on the corpses, and after the priest finished chanting the spell, he threw the torches on the corpses, allowing the raging flames to engulf them. When the fire was almost done, another person would come over and sweep up that pile of ashes, who could not even tell who was who, and place it in a jar with no names. Only after the war was over would they put their names on it and send it back to their hometown and tribe, if there were still any.

Qu Feizhi watched on quietly for a while, his heart suddenly feeling a little sad. We are all human beings, both raised by mother and father. Why can't we get along well and kill each other?

He shook his head to clear his mind of the mess of constitutions. Lowering his head, he helped remove the armor from the corpses and hung the helmets of the dead men around his waist. No one felt that this wasn't right. If a person died, their armor would have to be left behind. If new recruits came in the future, they might even need it.

After gathering together seven or eight helmets, Qu Feizhi walked to the side and casually handed over the water sac s of unknown origin to a soldier who was holding a torch and waiting for a sacrifice as he chanted the Rebirth Curse. The soldier thanked him, then gulped down the water with the water sac. Qu Feizhi took this opportunity to carry away the kerosene barrel that was by his feet. They directly arrived near a group of stone thrower s that were about to be pushed onto the ground. After observing the surroundings beforehand, Qu Feizhi discovered that the defense of this place was relatively relaxed. This was because everyone's attention was on the Commander's Lodge, waiting for orders to be issued at any time.

Qu Feizhi secretly threw the helmet filled with kerosene beside the stone thrower, then returned to the rear camp and stole a horse, then he madly rushed towards the stone thrower's position. Next, was the time for Master Qu Feizhi's performance.

He threw a torch towards the first stone thrower. The kerosene was ignited, and the flames quickly devoured the pure wood stone thrower. Soon after, Qu Feizhi used the rope that he had prepared beforehand to wrap around the stone thrower's long arm. The tall and simple stone thrower was unable to withstand the pulling force from his side, and its center of gravity was instantly pulled unsteadily to the ground, causing the flames to spread to the stone thrower beside.

Qu Feizhi threw his helmet, ignited the fire, and pulled the stone thrower ~ ~ ~ In one breath, Qu Feizhi lit up seven to eight places, the infantry behind him had no way of dealing with him, the stone thrower s who were ignited by the kerosene had blocked their footsteps and also blocked their line of sight, so even the handheld crossbow s were useless. The group of angry soldiers watched as Qu Feizhi threw out the last helmet in his hands, which was filled with kerosene s, and then laughed out loud and urged their horses to leave.

Qu Feizhi knew that he had stirred up a big incident and he was about to go back and get beaten up dozens of times by Kong Sheng. Then, he would honestly lie on the bed for two months. However, what he didn't know was that this fire had completely changed his destiny for the rest of his life.

Commander Huo of the famous Fire and Water Generals of the Demonic Phoenix Army, widely praised by the later generations, had appeared out of nowhere from then on.
