The next day, Zhou Bian got up early one morning and set off to the tent that imprisoned Murong Bai and Xiao Xuangan.
Outside the tent, there were several wolf slaves guarding him. When they saw Zhou Bian walking towards him, they were a little surprised.
They had no good impression of the Tang people who had won the favor of the Great Wolf Lord for some reason. Although Zhou Bian's strength was there, these wolves did not want to give him face so easily.
"Why, are you going to stop me?"
Seeing that these wolf slaves had no intention of giving way, Zhou Bian frowned and said coldly:
"You respect that woman as the Lord of the Great Wolf. How dare you not obey her orders?"
The wolf slaves had no expression on their faces, and Zhou Bian suddenly woke up, and these people couldn't understand the Tang Dynasty.
He didn't want to talk too much, so he glanced at them coldly, then he took out a dagger from his sleeve and stabbed it into the shoulder of a wolf slave.
"Get out!"
This is one of the few Khitan words that Zhou Bian could speak.
The wolf slaves looked at him in surprise, and a sense of fear arose in their hearts.
The Khitans have always believed in strength and believed that the strong are respected. The ruthlessness that Zhou Bian just showed was exactly what they respected.
Zhou Bian squeezed away the wolf slave and walked straight into the tent.
Inside the tent, Xiao Xuangan was lying on the bed, his limbs were locked by iron chains and could not move.
He stared at the roof of the tent and found that someone had walked in. Xiao Xuangan turned his head and looked at it. After seeing that the person coming was Zhou Bian, he couldn't help but sink his face.
"What a rare guest." Xiao Xuangan said coldly, "Why did the dignified Khitan archer, Lord Ge Shutai, have time to come to see me as a prisoner?"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Bian knew that Xiao Xuangan was mocking him, and he didn't care. He sat beside Xiao Xuangan and asked:
"You know me, right?"
"That's because I was blind, no, we were all blind."
"Who are we...?" Zhou Bian gently stroked the iron chain that tied Xiao Xuangan and tapped gently in some places.
"You are a decisive lackey, why are you still thinking about the past?" Xiao Xuangan looked at him suspiciously, with a confused look in his eyes.
"I have lost my memory, just want to restore my previous memory." Zhou Bian said, "But now... I don't seem to want to restore my memory anymore. That's it, it's great."
"What a weird guy." Xiao Xuangan snorted coldly, "If nothing happens, get out quickly and don't disturb me to sleep."
"Click—"
The chain in Zhou Bian's hand suddenly broke.
"What are you doing?" Xiao Xuangan said in surprise.
Zhou Bian stood up and walked out: "Your sword and Murong Bai's sword are both in the second tent on your right hand. Whether you can escape depends on your luck."
"By the way, if you go out, there is no need to leave a living for those people at the door."
Watching Zhou Bian leave here, Xiao Xuangan frowned and murmured to himself:
"Why?"
...
After leaving the tent that was imprisoning Xiao Xuangan, Zhou Bian wandered in the military camp for a while. He thought that Xiao Xuangan should have broken free from the iron chain at this time, so he walked towards Yelu Yan's military tent.
As the guardian of the Mengyin River Camp for five years, Yelu Yan has many confidants here and is very strict in the guards. It is not easy for Zhou Bian to get close to him.
However, Yelu Yan's subordinates were not good at checking Zhou Bian. After all, this Tang man was one of the two guards of Mengyin River chosen by the Great Wolf Lord, and his status was equivalent to their master Yelu Yan. Without looking at the monks and the Buddha's face, they still respectfully brought Zhou Bian to Yelu Yan.
"What are you looking for me?" Yelu Yan asked in a rough voice.
He looked up and down at Zhou Bian and felt a little uncomfortable.
Since Yelu Yan took the initiative to test archery but lost to Zhou Bian last time, Yelu Yan felt very dull and rarely walked around the military camp in order to avoid Zhou Bian. Now the two of them face each other, and the atmosphere was a little awkward for a moment.

"That woman asked me to come to you and said something to explain."
Yelu Yan frowned: "You should call the Ninth Princess the Great Wolf Lord."
“It’s all the same.”
"I am not respectful to the elders!" Yelu Yan said coldly, "Since there are important things, why didn't the Lord of the Wolf say to me in person?"
"I have no idea."
Yelu Yan widened her eyes: "Don't you know?"
"How do I know what she thinks?" Zhou Bian shrugged, "Anyway, she told me that she would tell you three days after the army set out."
Yelu Yan thought to himself, "Could it be a problem with food and supplies?"
He cleared his throat and said in a deep voice: "Tell me."
Zhou Bian glanced at the servants and guards standing beside Yelu Yan, and said lightly: "That woman only asked me to tell you."
"They are all my confidants, so it's okay to listen."
"That won't work." Zhou Bian shook his head, "They have to go out, otherwise, I won't say it."
Yelu Yan looked gloomy: "You can afford to delay the big wolf master's big affairs!"
"Do you think I was delaying it?" Zhou Bian said, "I am not interested in her so-called big things. If you don't want to listen, I will go back and rest."
After saying that, Zhou Bian really turned around and walked out of the tent.
"Let's wait!"
After all, Yelu Yan did not calm down. Zhou Bian's sloppy attitude just eliminated Yelu Yan's defense against him.
He waved his hand and said to the people around him: "You all go down."
"yes."
Everyone left one by one, and in the end, only Yelu Yan and Zhou Bian were left.
Zhou Bian walked to the door of the tent, lifted up the curtain, and confirmed that no one eavesdropped, and then walked back with confidence.
"Can you say it now?" Yelu Yan asked.
"Can."
Zhou Bian slowly stepped forward, stood just three steps away from Yelu Yan, and said softly:
"She asked me to... kill you!"
In an instant, the blood-stained dagger slid down Zhou Bian's sleeves, and stabbed Yelu Yan's forehead in his astonished gaze.
"Puchi--"
Yelu Yan stood up from his seat staggeringly, with the dagger still stuck in his forehead. Yelu Yan wanted to call for help, but he was dizzy, or the loss of life made him unable to make any sound.
The last thing this Khitan general did in his life was to use all his strength to pounce on the murderer who killed him.
Zhou Bian flashed sideways expressionlessly, letting Yelu Yan fall straight to the ground. Under the bump, the dagger completely penetrated his brain, and blood spread out on the ground.
Zhou Bian swept through the information on Yelu Yan’s table, picked up a few copies and looked at it, and then put it in his arms.
He walked out of Yelu Yan's military tent, and the guards outside had been removed according to Yelu Yan's orders, and only a dozen people were waiting in the distance.
This gave Zhou Bian enough time.
He walked calmly through the soldiers, as if he had not killed anyone at all. His expression was as normal as he did not attract the attention of the soldiers.
No one went to check the situation of Yelu Yan in the military tent.
After all, who would have thought that Yelu Yan would die?
Zhou Bian walked back to Xiao Xuangan's tent and found that the wolf slaves guarding outside Xiao Xuangan's tent were missing.
He walked to the curtain, gently lifted up a gap, and looked inside.
On the bed, Xiao Xuangan was gone, and there were a few corpses lying everywhere on the ground. They were the wolf slaves before, and one of them had been stripped naked.
Zhou Bian's lips curled up slightly, he took a deep breath and shouted:
"Come on, the prisoner ran away!"
...
In less than a stick of incense, Yelu Yan's body was found.
Everyone gathered in his military tent and looked at Yelu
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Yan's body didn't know what to say for a while.
"You must not just let him go!" Yelu Yan's confidant said indignantly, "It must have been done by that Tang man. He not only escaped, but also killed General Yelu Yan. I must tear him to pieces!"
"Quiet." Another man said, and he glanced at Zhou Bian indifferently and said:
"It is not yet certain that General Yelu Yan was the one who escaped Tangren killed. The one who killed people may be someone else."
When everyone heard this, they turned their eyes to Zhou Bian.
Indeed, if you want to say the suspicion, Zhou Bian was the last person Yelu Yan met, and his suspicion was greater than anyone else.
"Are you doubting Ge Shutai?" Naturally, there were also confidants left by Yelu Hailan. Seeing Zhou Bian as the target of public criticism, he immediately spoke out:
"Ge Shutai is the one whom the Lord of the Wolf personally appointed. If you suspect him, you are challenging the Lord of the Wolf!"
Everyone looked at each other, and when they thought of Yelu Hailan, the fire that they wanted to avenge Yelu Yan couldn't help but weaken.
"The most important thing now is to catch the escaped person."
"It's reasonable..." Everyone had no choice but to agree.
Seeing this, Zhou Bian knew that he had been relieved, so he threw the problem to the Khitans and turned around and walked out of the tent.
Whether Xiao Xuangan can be caught depends on his own luck.
Yelu Yan is dead and the Mengyin River camp is unattended. Next, we go to the front line to find Yelu Hailan.
But before that, Zhou Bian still had a big stone in his heart.
Where was that Murong Bai locked up?
...
Four days later.
The horse's hooves stepped across Gaogang, Pei Min held the reins of the horse, and the three thousand troops behind him also stopped.
In the distance, there is a silver belt that winds and turns on the grassland, which is the Mengyin River.
The Mengyin River camp of the Khitan is already in front of him.
"Everyone will dismount immediately and accumulate energy." Pei Min ordered, "After darkness, launch a charge against the enemy camp. Don't fight, just burn food and grass."
"Fu Kang."
"Tagged under."
"You have led three hundred troops to support you."
"Receive the order under the mark!"
"Xu Yanqiu."
"Tagged under."
"You lead five hundred men to the rear of the Mengyin River camp, where the food, supplies are stored. Just wait for the shouts of killing to sound, and when the enemy is in chaos, you will rush in."
"Receive the order under the mark!"
Pei Min turned to Li Xin'an and whispered: "In a while, I'll go and save people with you."
"Master, it's too dangerous." Li Xin'an said.
"I am the second best in the world. I just want to break back to the military camp. What's the danger?" Pei Min smiled and said, "Aren't I afraid that you, a gangster, will not be able to get out if you go in?"
"Xin'an is ashamed..." Li Xin'an's eyes lowered, and his expression was a little lonely.
"Is the teacher talking about the pain? Huh?"
"No, I just feel that I am very cowardly. I have such a big man and I still need my master to take action."
"Cherish the days we spend next time together." Pei Min smiled, "Maybe, if you want to help you again in the future, you will have no chance."
...
Night soon fell, the Tang army was rectified, and under Pei Min's command, it began to charge towards the Mengyin River camp.
"kill--"
The shouts of killing were shocking the sky and the earth. Before the defenders of Mengyin River camp could figure out where such an army emerged, the camp gate was broken through in a flash.
However, the Khitan army was not vegetarian after all. After a brief setback, they immediately launched a counterattack. With the advantage of numerical numbers, the Tang army could not make a greater breakthrough for a while.
But they were just feints.
The real killing move, the five hundred cavalry led by Xu Yanqiu had already broken through the back door of the Mengyin River camp and set a fire where they stockpiled food and grass!
