Qin Jin didn't have too much verbal entanglement with this young man, and soon arranged for someone to release him, along with thousands of captured soldiers.

These people never dreamed that they would have a chance to escape, and according to the general practice of the Western Regions, they had long thought that they would be sold into slavery with a high probability. What awaits them in the future will be endless torture.

However, after a few days, the captives were released, and they embarked on the return journey with an extremely confused heart.

The battle of that day, the biggest shock for them was the strength of the Shenwu Army, which was torn apart without any twists and turns, and then fled everywhere like cattle, and in the end there were not many people who escaped, and most of them became prisoners in cages.

This time the release was probably only a part of the captives, so those who were lucky enough to be selected to be released were extremely happy.

Among the many captives, only Guo Youming hung his head and moved his body forward like a walking corpse with the support of two people.

Guo Youming's body was not seriously injured, but the blow he suffered in his heart made it difficult for him to move.

Qin Jin sent twelve people to protect him from any accidents along the way, and as for the other captives, since there was no one to lead them, the whole team was more like refugees fleeing en masse, and they had no time to take care of this former master general who had caused them to fall into a defeat situation.

In fact, there are almost no people who recognize Guo Youming's identity.

At this time, Guo Youming was wearing an ordinary linen coat and a locally popular Persian felt hat, which looked no different from an ordinary soldier.

Coupled with the looming support of more than a dozen soldiers with knives in the same civilian clothes around Guo Youming, those who tried to get close had already been driven away.

Guo Youming's eyes were full of hatred, and he said viciously to the "guards" around him:

"When you go with me to see my brother like this, aren't you afraid of being torn apart by five horses?

One of the leaders cracked his mouth and smiled.

"The prime minister said that Brother Ling will never harm us, and will entertain us well, and then let us go back. Besides, we have protected you along the way, so you will not be as ungrateful as beasts and do us harm, right?"

Guo Youming didn't continue to fight, he smiled sadly, as long as he reached his territory, none of the accomplices of these chaotic ministers and thieves could escape, if they were not punished, it would be really difficult to understand the hatred in his heart.

"Let's eat something, I've been hungry for most of the day, and I don't have the strength to hurry!"

The leader didn't care about the hostility that shot out of Guo Youming's eyes, but instead took out the naan cake from the cloth bag he was carrying and handed it over together.

Guo Youming wanted to throw it on the ground with disdain and say a few words of relief, but he was so hungry and scared that he was reluctant to throw away the naan and water bladder during his life as a prisoner.

Gobbled up half of the naan, drank half a bag of water, burped a lot, and there was a trace of laziness on his body.

It's a pity that this is not a place to rest, Guo Youming gritted his teeth, rubbed his forehead covered with oily sweat and plaster, and dragged his numb legs forward.

At this time, a person with bad intentions suddenly rushed up, and several fighters didn't seem to react, and they all watched the excitement on the side.

Just when Guo Youming was full of puzzlement, the ragged guy had already snatched the cloth bag with half a naan around his waist, and then he was about to grab the water bladder.

Guo Youming was very angry, if the other party asked for it, he would definitely serve the rest of the food and water with both hands, but such a rude and barbaric robbery was extremely intolerable.

"Let it go, what's the difference between you doing this and a robber?"

The man scolded in wicked words:

"It's all come to this point, what's the point of being a robber? If you don't let go, don't blame Lao Tzu for being ruthless!"

Guo Youming was angry, this released captive was also his soldier in the past, and now he is robbed by him, it's really ironic!

"Do you know who you robbed? I'm Guo Youming!"

However, these three words did not make the other party feel the slightest fear, but were ridiculed.

"Guo Youming, that stupid donkey has long been dragged to the coolie camp by the Shenwu Army as a slave, and we have seen it with our own eyes, and the snotty look on his face is like a boneless kowtow worm......"

A series of words smashed Guo Youming like a sledgehammer into a stun, only to see him stunned on the spot, allowing the other party to snatch the water bladder in his hand and go away.

For a long time, Guo Youming sat on the ground with his buttocks, as if there were 10,000 poisonous snakes biting in his heart.

"Okay, don't be stupid there, the road behind is still long, if you can't rush to the water source in front of you to replenish before dark, I don't know how many people will starve to death in the back!"

This is a deserted Gobi, and if you can't replenish drinking water in time, the consequences will be extremely serious.

Guo Youming suddenly remembered that his water bladder was snatched away by that damn guy, and now if he wants to drink saliva, he is afraid that he will have to beg with these hateful people around him.

He was determined not to beg for anything even if he died of hunger and thirst, and he endured the pain caused by the blisters under his feet and continued on his way back.

The few soldiers with knives did not ridicule Guo Youming's situation too much, and only ensured that his personal safety was not threatened.

After stealing water and food, Guo Youming's spirit obviously suffered a big blow, and the whole person looked even more confused, and even when he looked at the guards around him, the hatred in his eyes was a lot lighter.

There was a sudden commotion ahead, causing several soldiers to put their hands on the horizontal knives at their waists in alarm. In order not to attract attention, none of them were equipped with such a sharp weapon as a crossbow, so they had little to fight back against a slightly larger attack.

At first, the captives thought that Guo Dashuai had sent someone to pick them up, but until someone saw the tattered black flag clearly, they all shouted in a panic:

"Horse bandits, horse bandits!"

Most of the horse bandits in this area are outlaws who are wanted and arrested by various countries, and any person is full of crimes, and they don't blink an eye when they kill people.

Sometimes even the armies of small countries and tribes do not dare to confront them head-on.

Guo Youming was not as flustered as others, but sneered mockingly.

"Hmph! Your plan is about to fail, how can the horse bandits spare this fine horde of slaves? You, too, will be roped like cattle, and have the mark of shame on your forehead, and spend the rest of your life miserable!"

A warrior retorted dismissively.

"The eldest husband must die standing when he dies, how can he let himself fall into the hands of thieves alive and suffer shame?"
