"Report to the marshal...there are corpses ahead!"
The detective sent by Murong Li ran back in a panic to report.
Corpse?
Murong Li frowned and led the people behind him forward. The maroon horse beneath him seemed to smell the smell of blood and was a little uneasy.
The smell of blood slowly entered everyone's noses. As they walked closer and closer, they saw a large number of corpses.
These corpses were all wearing night clothes and dressed as they were at this moment. There were at least a hundred corpses!
An idea flashed in Murong Li's mind. She dismounted and walked to the corpse. He unceremoniously tore off the black veils and clothes of the group, and a naked man appeared in front of all the soldiers.
The soldiers twitched their mouths, should their marshal be so aggressive?
He stepped forward and took off the assassin's clothes! Even though it was just a corpse...
Looking at the naked assassin in front of her, she inadvertently saw a wolf tattooed on the assassin's arm. Murong Li turned the assassin's naked body over so that the tattoo on his arm faced upwards, pointed at the wolf tattoo and asked, "What is this?"
"
"They are from Baili Kingdom!" General He Rong exclaimed.
Hearing this, Murong Li raised his eyebrows, a person from Baili Kingdom? How could he die on the way to Yanmen?
"How to be sure?" Murong Li pursed her lips and asked in a deep voice.
"Coming back to Marshal, people from Baili Kingdom will have a wolf tattooed on their arms when they are born. This is their belief! Except for the royal family who has a golden wolf tattooed on them, the rest of them have black wolves tattooed on their arms!"
Military general He Rong dismounted his horse at some point and walked to the side of many corpses.
Murong Li frowned, these people dressed like assassins were all black wolves of assassination. What was certain was that they were not from the royal family, and nothing else could be determined.
Murong Li snorted coldly, and the thoughts in her mind were sorted out. She gradually understood some things.
How dare you send people from the Baili Kingdom to ambush here! How dare you have any thoughts about the army she leads!
Her fingers twisted a part of the naked body in front of her, and the blood was still warm. This showed that these assassins from Baili Kingdom had not been dead for long.
"Marshal! These people are all armed with weapons...!"
The general He Rong, who was looking back and forth for the assassins of Baili Kingdom, suddenly spoke out.
Murong Li nodded and found a dagger from the night clothes that he took off from the naked body. The dagger was extremely finely made and extremely sharp.
She curled her lips lightly and shouted coldly: "Everyone listen to the order and search these corpses for weapons and take them away!"
It's hard to find high-quality weapons, especially this dagger inlaid with green agate. It can be sold for a lot of money at a glance. Even if her soldiers can't use it, it's good to buy them wine with the money.
These assassins from Baili Kingdom are lying in ambush here to give her army a blow...!
I just don’t know who helped her to annihilate this group of people from the Baili Kingdom who were ambushing them? Since these people from the Baili Kingdom died in the Xuanyuan Kingdom, no matter who killed them, they sent this group of assassins.
People will think that they killed him.
Since they are all convinced that they killed him, it doesn't make any difference whether he takes the dagger or not. He might as well take it away.
"Marshal Yuan..."
The corners of the mouths of the soldiers twitched. Why did their marshal ask them to search for the daggers from these corpses? Why can't they put these daggers to use in the battlefield?
Little did he know... this dagger would actually come in handy in the future.
Murong Li's cold eyebrows swept away, and all the soldiers were frightened. They stopped talking and hurried forward to seize the daggers from these assassins.
Turning her head to look at the military commander He Rong who was still checking the assassins' corpses one by one, Murong Li raised her eyebrows and looked at the military commander He Rong's expression getting more and more weird.
"What did General He find?" Murong Li opened her lips.
The general He Rong whose name was called by her slowed down a moment, respectfully performed a military salute to Murong Li, and said with a serious expression: "Back to the marshal, I suspect that the person who killed these Baili Kingdom assassins was Wuming Pavilion...
…!”
Upon hearing the three words "Wuming Pavilion", everyone's expressions changed.
Everyone has heard the name of Wuming Pavilion. It is the most mysterious and frightening organization. No one has yet figured out the details of this mysterious organization.
This mysterious organization is both evil and good, making it difficult for people to distinguish.
"Why?"
Murong Li frowned and asked, naturally she had heard of the Wuming Pavilion, only its name but nothing else.
Except for the three characters "Wuming Pavilion" floating in the rivers and lakes, there is nothing else. How did the general He Rong confirm that these assassins from Baili Kingdom were killed by Wuming Pavilion?
When she asked, General He Rong's face changed slightly, as if he was suppressing a kind of pain.
It seemed like I was trapped in endless painful memories.
"Let's go!"
Murong Li knew that her question was wrong, she pursed her lips and looked at the general He Rong. Although she didn't know why he behaved like this, it seemed that it had something to do with Wuming Pavilion.
Wuming Pavilion, she remembered it!
Her sudden order stunned everyone present, but there was still no objection. They immediately started to set off, and 300,000 people stepped directly on the corpse of the Baili Kingdom assassin, as if to relieve the anger of Baili Kingdom who had taken away their city.
Forcibly trampling these corpses into meat patties, it was too horrible to look at...
*
When we arrived at Yanmen, the people immediately started fleeing.
Seeing the arrival of 300,000 troops, it was like seeing a savior. The people cried and knelt down and begged Murong Li to save them.
We learned from the people’s mouths that the magistrate of Yanmen had fled long ago, and the people in the city who should have fled had also fled. The only ones left were the old, weak, sick and children who could not escape. Now there is not much food in the city. I am afraid that
Yes, I can't hold on for long.
Murong Li promised the villagers that they would drive away this group of Baili Kingdom who maliciously attacked other people's cities.
He also sent a few guards to the old, weak, sick and children, and ordered them to take care of them. He also opened a warehouse and gave the food he brought to some people who were still in the city.
This move made the people in Yanmen see hope, and they called Murong Li the Bodhisattva of salvation.
The soldiers who were guarding Yanmen were moved to tears. Their magistrates fled early, leaving them alone to guard Yanmen. The madness of war began to spread.
They thought they could no longer defend Yanmen. When they saw the 300,000 soldiers led by Murong Li, and when they saw Murong Li Zheng's people in the city, they felt they saw hope.
It's night.
General Yigan and Murong Li were sitting in the commander's tent, discussing the strategy to repel Baili Kingdom.
The generals were spitting what they said, but they still couldn't come up with a good countermeasure. Murong Li just pursed her lips lightly and listened to them quietly.
Her silence undoubtedly made the generals think she was incompetent.
After all, Baili Kingdom has 700,000 soldiers and horses, and they only have 300,000. Although there are only 400,000 soldiers and horses stationed outside Yanmen, Baili Kingdom can call for the remaining 300,000 reinforcements at any time.
And they, plus Yanmen's 100,000 troops, only have a total of 400,000 troops. The disparity in strength is huge.
