Chapter 493: Out of the City
Placing Feng Qingyang's bones on the horse's back, Dongfang Shuo led the horse and walked towards the city gate accompanied by the red shawl.
On horseback, Feng Qingyang's wounds had long since dried up, and not a drop of blood was shed.
On the way through the city, countless soldiers gathered one after another, but none of them stepped forward to block Dongfang Shuo's way, just stood quietly on both sides of the road, staring at Feng Qingyang on horseback, silent.
Of course, they could see that Feng Qingyang had been 'ambushed', and his behavior at the moment was more like seeing off Feng Qingyang.
It was in this gaze that Dongfang Shuo finally came to the gate of the city.
He stopped and looked back at the soldiers who had followed him all the way, most of them were also thinly clothed at this moment, even if they still hadn't put on armor, which made Dongfang Shuo a little puzzled.
"Why don't you put on your armor?" Dongfang Shuo asked in a loud voice, "At this time, the 200,000 troops of the empire are waiting outside the city, and if there is any trouble, they will immediately kill this city, and it will be useless for you to have no combat strength at that time." ”
was asked like this, but the soldiers were speechless.
Finally, there was a sound of footsteps coming from the castle tower behind him.
"There isn't enough armor left in the city. At the same time as the footsteps came, a familiar voice also came from that direction, "Not only are there no armor, but there are not even enough blades in the city, and if they really want to fight, they can only go up with their bare hands." ”
Dongfang Shuo stared.
This one who came down from the castle tower was the one who first talked to him on the castle tower.
"How so, shouldn't you be an elite division?"
Dongfang Shuo asked.
The general had already walked down the city tower at this moment, standing not far in front of Dongfang Shuo.
He sneered and said, "The reputation of the elite division is also sharpened on the battlefield, and the south of the empire has been filled with wolf smoke for many years, and the consumption of armor and blades is unprecedentedly huge, so there will be a period like this almost every winter. Fortunately, there was less fighting in the winter. ”
"Listening to you, I seem to be very happy. ”
Dongfang Shuo's eyes narrowed slightly, and his eyes were sharply locked on the general's body, "You should be able to see it, now I have brought your family to justice." ”
The general nodded: "I can see it." ”
"Aren't you going to do something?"
Dongfang Shuo asked.
As he spoke, he tightened the reins in his hand, and at the same time raised a little vigilance around him.
As for the red shawl, he led the horse with one hand, and the other hand was already on the hilt of the sword at his waist, making a gesture of being ready to draw the sword at any time.
"I am a soldier brought out by Lord Feng, not only me, but everyone present is like this, Lord Feng died at your hands, we naturally want to break your body into thousands of pieces. ”
The general said.
And at this point in his words, Dongfang Shuo and the red shawl both gathered attention.
But what made Dongfang Shuo feel strange was that he didn't notice the slightest hint of murder and gunpowder.
"But it was precisely because of us that Lord Feng brought it out single-handedly, so we also obeyed his orders even more. The general didn't make a move, but continued, "And Master Feng's last order before his life was very simple, that is, let you go." ”
When his words fell, Dongfang Shuo's heart couldn't help but chuckle.
Although he had expected this to be the case, he couldn't help but feel shocked when he heard it with his own ears at this moment.
Feng Qingyang's belief is really mixed.
It is really embarrassing to be loyal to his heart, but to be able to sacrifice himself for the sake of the empire.
"You made the right choice. ”
Dongfang Shuo's face was a little gloomy, and he said so.
After the words fell, he tugged at the reins in his hand and continued to walk towards the open gate.
No one stopped him, he and the red shawl took two horses, as well as Feng Qingyang's corpse, and walked straight out of the city gate.
When he was twenty feet away from the city gate, he stopped, and when he looked back at the city, he immediately withdrew his gaze and looked at his own soldiers and horses.
"Without Feng Qingyang, the southern part of the empire will inevitably fall into a chaotic situation, so we won't leave here for the time being, and we need to stay for a while. Dongfang Shuo said to the red shawl, "You give the order to go down and set up camp on the spot." ”
"Yes. ”
The red shawl was handed over, so he stepped on his horse and hurried to the direction of the army one step ahead of Dongfang Shuo.
Dongfang Shuo turned his head and glanced at Feng Qingyang lying on his horseback.
"When you sacrificed your life to catch assassins for the emperor ten years ago, you probably wouldn't have expected that the rabbit and the dog would cook today, right?"
Dongfang Shuo said with emotion.
However, as soon as the words fell, his eyes glanced at Feng Qingyang's face intentionally or unintentionally, and he hadn't noticed that his face was very peaceful at the moment.
After a moment of silence, he chuckled.
"Looks like you expected this to be today. He corrected his exclamation.
So he turned around and led his horse slowly towards the enemy, who had already begun to be stationed.
And when he approached the camp, the handsome man who belonged to him had already been set up, and the tent of the 200,000 army stretched for more than ten miles.
Under the gate, a young man waited anxiously for him.
"Who are you?"
Seeing the young man walking towards him, Dongfang Shuo asked.
The young man had no armor on his body, but he was dressed in cloth, but judging by his standing and walking posture, he looked like a soldier.
"If you go back to the East, I am a centurion of Huaiyang County, and I have come from Zuoyang Pass in the north, and I have something important to report. ”
The young man knelt down, and this was a military salute.
When Dongfang Shuo heard this, there was a touch of thunder in his eyes.
Huaiyang County, a county in the south of the empire near the center, was also a source of this recruitment. And Zuoyang Pass, if Dongfang Shuo remembers correctly, is a pass on the road through which Feng Qingyang must pass through a grain road.
In this way, the man in front of him should be his soldiers.
"What's going on?"
Dongfang Shuo asked.
The young man did not speak, but simply held a letter in both hands.
Dongfang Shuo took the letter, opened it and read it.
Reading the letterhead, he lowered the reins and lifted up the young man in front of him, who called himself a centurion.
"Take your horse and come with me. ”
Leaving these words, Dongfang Shuo folded the letter in his hand and walked into the courtyard gate.
And the centurion naturally didn't dare to slack off, hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed the reins, and after glancing at the bones on the horse, he hurriedly followed Dongfang Shuo.
Soon, Dongfang Shuo entered the handsome tent, and after sending someone to dispose of Feng Qingyang's body, he sat on the handsome seat.
The centurion stood in his tent and said nothing.
Not long after he sat down, the red shawl hurried in.
"Lord Dongfang, are you looking for me?"
"That's right. ”
"Excuse me, what else do you command?"
"I want you to ......" Dongfang Shuo suddenly raised his eyes, "Control all the soldiers in your county." ”
