Next to the large banner of the patrol army, the flag with the word "Fu" was swinging in the wind. The soldiers of the patrol army were already exhausted from the long days of traveling. After setting up camp and having a meal, they each hurriedly rested. Tens of thousands of people were camping in the camp, and it was now quiet.
Arriving at the foot of Yanbei City, the patrol soldiers felt at peace. Apart from the normal patrols, the remaining soldiers had gradually fallen asleep against the backdrop of the mist in the mountains, using sleep to relieve the fatigue of the journey.
"Here comes!!!" a shout came faintly through the layers of mountain fog into the soldiers' camp closest to the general's camp.
The soldiers had been asleep for a long time. This shout did not wake up the tired soldiers, but it was heard clearly by the captain who was patrolling the army in front of the camp with a little sleepiness.
The captain was equally sleepy. However, there were rules in the army. Whenever someone was on duty, he had to brace himself and lead his soldiers to patrol the camp with heavy steps. This shout not only dispelled all the sleepiness in his mind, but also
It also aroused the captain's vigilance.
"This is the general's camp. You and I are going to investigate. Leave ten people behind and blow the horns to wake up the army." Although the incident was sudden, there were no weak soldiers under the strong general. The captain calmly gave the order and then led everyone to rush towards it.
The Lord will camp and leave.
The deep sound of the trumpet sounded, and the moment the captain ran away, it suddenly resounded throughout the entire army... The soldiers in the dream stood up almost subconsciously, with hazy sleepy eyes. After a breath, they all came to their senses and hurriedly got up.
Rushing towards the weapons rack in the camp...
The captain led dozens of people and ran all the way until they got close to the camp. He was still ten steps away when he saw the general's camp door curtain blown up by a strong wind and coming towards him.
Even though this captain had experienced hundreds of battles and was a seven-foot strong general, he was hit by this oncoming force.
The strong wind swept by, causing him to flip over. Regardless of the mess on his body, the captain quickly drew his knife in his hand, stood up, and looked into the tent.
The scene in front of him stunned the captain. Two men wearing patrol armor and covering their faces held their two generals hostage with long swords and steel knives, and slowly walked out of the camp...
"Who are these thieves? Do you know who you are holding hostage?" The captain panicked for a moment and looked at the soldiers around him looking at each other with panic in their eyes. He immediately calmed down and shouted angrily at the two thieves.
When the words fell, the assassin who had restrained General Fukang could be heard saying in a hoarse voice: "Thieves? I am not a thief. Get out of the way quickly, or I will kill your general."
When the captain heard this, he looked at the saber and sword placed beside his general's neck. He knew that only by stabilizing the two men could he find a good opportunity to save them. He hurriedly waved his hand to scare away the soldiers who were besieging them, and turned around.
Facing Fukang and Furui, they gritted their teeth and spoke cruelly to the two assassins again.
"If it's for money, just make an offer. If it's for something else, just ask. But if you hurt these two generals, I guarantee that they won't be able to leave my patrol camp."
Before Gu and Xiao could speak, the fiery Fukang spoke up first.
"Damn it, you little brats, I've raised you all these years for nothing... To hear you say that, you want the lives of two of my brothers." Fukang is used to scolding his soldiers, but he didn't do it now.
Forgot to educate his soldiers.
All the soldiers also knew that General Kang was a good person. Although he was usually rude, if someone really wanted to make things difficult for his soldiers, he would be the first to stand up for his brothers.
Listen
Fukang reprimanded, but the captain and other soldiers did not dare to speak. They just held their swords tightly and followed the steps of the two assassins.
Fu Rui, who cooperated with Gu Xiao in acting, although he was usually dignified and solemn, could not help but laugh at himself when he looked at his "poor acting" brother and his subordinates. They were both dignified patrol generals.
However, they were captured by "thieves". Once this news came out, the reputation of the two brothers would be ruined.
But then I thought about what the young man said and strengthened my mind. Regardless of General Wan's great kindness to his brothers, even the people of Yanbei must not sit idly by and ignore it. Thinking of this, I sighed slightly in my heart and no longer cared about face.
He straightened his face and followed his brother's words.
"Thieves, whatever conditions you have, just make them. Don't hurt my brother. Whether it's for money or something else, just make them."
Hearing the two guarding generals speak one after another, Murong Wu, who was under the scarf, almost couldn't hold back her laughter. Looking at the back of the young man holding Furui in front of her, she secretly praised: "This boy is quite brave and careful.
With his good eloquence, he was able to persuade these two dignified patrol generals to perform for him."
Looking at the young man's back, he remembered the affectionate eyes before sneaking into the patrol camp, and couldn't help but be lost in thought.
Unexpectedly, Fukang, who he had coerced, was addicted to acting. After scolding his soldiers just now, he still couldn't get enough, so he unconsciously continued to speak... This coercion scene was meant to cooperate with each other, so how could Murong Wu do it?
Literally put a knife to Fukang's neck.
The moment Fukang spoke "in a hurry", the armor on his body actually touched Murong Wu's knife-holding hand, and Murong Wu was thinking about something.
, also didn’t pay attention...
"Clang...cang..." The long knife in Murong Wu's hand was touched by the shoulder armor, slipped from her hand, and stuck upside down into the snow on the ground...
This scene was not only unimagined by the patrolling soldiers surrounding the two men, but each of them stared blankly at the assassin...
Gu Xiao, who was holding Fu Rui with a knife, widened his eyes and didn't know what to do. Fu Rui had lived his whole life, and he didn't know how to continue this "drama"...
Murong Wu was also stunned. She lowered her head and looked at the long knife on the ground, and was speechless for a moment...
Fukang didn't know it yet, he got angry with curses and just walked forward, but he didn't know that he had walked out of the area where Murong Wu was holding him hostage.
However, it was the captain who reacted first. After shouting, "Save General Fukang first," he quickly jumped over with the soldiers beside him.
This loud roar woke up the four of them, Gu and Xiao. They saw them rushing towards their captain and his soldiers. Fukang reacted quickly. He kicked the captain on the chest, kicked him away, and then used his hands and feet.
, repelling the surrounding soldiers one by one.
The captain fell back and sat down in the snow. He looked back and saw that his brothers were all dumbfounded and looked at each other. Before he could react, the general did not exert any force on his feet and his chest did not hurt. It was just that his own
How come the general is more like an assassin and wants to stop himself...
Fukang, who had retreated from the soldiers, had a quick wit at this moment. He did not rush or slow down. Under the attention of everyone, he turned around and walked towards the ground with his long sword. He reached out and pulled out the long sword in the snow. He looked at it carefully and, under everyone's surprise, cut it.
The handle of the knife was turned and handed to the masked Murong Wu.
Murong Wu's mind went blank. She subconsciously raised her hand and took the saber handed over by Fukang. She looked at it with charming eyes.
Turning around with Fukang in his sight, he grabbed the handle of the knife and held it against his neck.
The venue fell into silence for a moment, with only the faint sound of the horn reaching everyone's ears. Gu Xiao's mind was spinning rapidly, thinking about how to make this scene go away, while Murong's charming eyes showed murderous intent.
All she could think of was to silence these soldiers in order to cover up what was going on.
Perhaps Fukang felt the murderous intention in Murong Wu's heart behind him, and Fukang's heart was anxious. He thought for a moment, composed his mind, and shouted angrily.
"I am not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death. I live and die with my brothers. I don't need you to save me. I have given my order and no one can stop me!"
The army was full of gentlemen. The captain and other soldiers seemed to understand the intention of General Fukang and his younger brother to advance and retreat together. They each calmed down their expressions, got up from the ground, and said in military salute: "Accept the order!"
When Gu Xiao saw this, he finally let out a long sigh of relief. The matter in front of him was finally over. He could also feel that Furui in front of him had also relaxed a little. He turned his head slightly and spoke in a low voice to him.
"Brother Mu, it is not advisable to stay in the army for a long time. Take this opportunity to quickly find Shan Bin's generals and enter the city first."
Gu Xiao came back to his senses and was about to speak, but saw that the snow on the ground was shaking. He looked up and saw layers of black shadows coming from the patrols through the fog...
Seeing this, Gu Xiao didn't wait any longer. Whether it was a fake show or he was anxious, he put the long knife in his hand close to Fu Rui's neck, and said to the patrolling military captain in front of him: "Let me ask you an answer, if
If you hesitate, I will kill your general first."
"You ask, don't hurt my general." Seeing that the blade of the military sword was about to cut open the skin of his general's neck, the captain hurriedly ordered the soldiers to put away their soldiers.
Blade, eager to speak.
"Where is Shan Bin's subordinate general in Yanbei City now? Bring him to me quickly." The young man held the saber in his hand and came a little closer.
Furui also followed the young man's words, took out the general token from his waist, and threw it to the captain.
The captain received the order, knowing that nothing was as important as the lives of the two generals at the moment, so he immediately ordered his soldiers to fetch the generals.
While the two were talking, the patrol army had already gathered. The young man's eyes reflected the crowds of people. The force of tens of thousands of people was even more impressive than the four thousand patrols in Mo County before.
——
More than a dozen swordsmen and axemen were holding sharp blades, guarding Shan Bin's generals inside and outside a camp. After receiving the order from their general, they blocked the general's mouth with his foot clothes and watched him continue.
Struggling and making "hemming and hawing" sounds, the swordsmen and axe-hands sneered and made taunting remarks.
"I advise you, sir, don't go to any lengths. Among the people tied up by our brothers, no one has ever been able to break free easily."
"Our general is not something you can scold. I didn't cut out your tongue. Just be lucky and stay here for a few days. After a few days, your general Shan comes to visit in person. Maybe my general's heart will soften."
, even if I let you go, I can’t say for sure.”
"Huh? Why are you staring?"
The swordsmen and axemen were humiliating this general who dared to insult his own general, but they heard the sound of rapid footsteps coming from outside the tent.
"Who is it!" The swordsman shouted outside the tent.
"Stop talking nonsense, the general's seal is here, take me in quickly." The captain's voice came into the camp.
The curtain of the camp tent was opened, and the person who broke in was none other than Colonel Shicai. At this moment, he didn't even bother to wipe the sweat from his forehead and showed his sword and axe.
The general ordered: "Take this man and follow me."
The knife and axemen had just escorted the general, but he didn't know why the captain rushed in so eagerly. Thinking of the sound of the trumpet he just heard, he hurriedly asked: "Is it possible that Shan Bin heard about this and led his troops?"
Come."
The captain rolled his eyes and said, "If Shan Bin has the courage, will he dare to lead the army to attack?"
Then he remembered the business at hand and hurriedly said: "What are you talking about? Hurry up, take this person and follow me."
"What happened?" The swordsman did not dare to neglect, picked up the general from the ground, and did not forget to ask the captain.
"What a good thing he did!" The captain glanced at the general and said coldly. Without waiting any longer, he opened the tent curtain and went out.
The swordsmen and axemen looked at each other, wondering what was going on, but since they had the general's order at the moment, they did not dare to disobey, so they took their men and followed the captain.
It wasn't until the general's camp that he discovered that among the thousands of troops, two people each held a saber, and it was his own general who was holding him hostage. He was immediately shocked and asked the captain: "This... this is..."
The captain didn't even look back, pushed aside the people in front of him, and shouted to the two people surrounded by the army: "I brought the people you want!"
