Chapter 42: The Expedition
Xiahou Xuan's inquiry Zhao Yun couldn't answer for a while, since Gongsun Zhan's former lord couldn't be a killer, he naturally fell into passivity.
Seeing the blank look in the other party's eyes, Xiahoudun didn't know the answer, although this person was decisive towards the alien race and other people, but when he met the former lord Sun Zhan's thinking, he couldn't help but slow down, which was not a good signal.
It is said that Zhou Qi and others led their subordinates to wait for Yan Liangwen and Chou's return, and finally looked forward to the stars and the moon to bring people back, looking at the prisoners escorted by the two, the corners of their mouths rose slightly, revealing a little smile.
Yan Liangwenchou and the others saw Zhou Qi in front of the city gate, and a flash of joy flashed in their eyes, and then they quickly came to the other party, jumped down, clasped their fists with both hands, and knelt down on one knee, "Lord, I am fortunate to destroy the enemy without dishonoring my life!" ”
As he spoke, he saw a guard with a dead body, wasn't it Zhu Fu who was in the camp outside the city, looking at this person with a dead face, his brows furrowed slightly, as if something was missing.
"Drop! Discover the historical general Zhu Fu, commander 74, force 66, intelligence 53, politics 45, charisma 30, gain 5 summon points, 10 hatred points, and the current summon point -185 points! ”
Zhou Qi didn't remember until this moment that he didn't seem to have received any five-dimensional data from the other party after fighting with Jiaozhou Thorn Shi Zhu Fu for several days, and then looked at Hua Yin, who looked lazy in front of him, and the corners of his mouth twitched violently.
Unexpectedly, the sequelae of the expedition to the small foot basin nation appeared, although he received the help of the Great Qin Emperor and the white-robed Luoyang, but he also lost two summoning places, thinking of this, I felt a feeling of wanting to cry without tears!
"Don't be cheap and behaved, even if you have two summoning places, you may not be able to summon a powerful character like the Great Qin Emperor!" Hua Yin seemed to know Zhou Qi's thoughts, and when the other party was still sighing, she opened her mouth quietly, and her voice seemed to pierce the depths of the other party's heart.
Zhou Qi was lifted by Huayin again, and an embarrassed look flashed on his face, and then a flattering Moyang was revealed, "Fairy Huayin, why didn't a certain family hear Zhu Fu's five-dimensional information in his mind for a long time, and it didn't appear until he appeared?" ”
The people around him seemed to be immune when they saw the lord like this, and those who participated in the summoning thought that these were normal.
"Hmm~" Hua Yin hummed lightly when she heard this, and then sat on Zhou Qi's fragrant shoulders, shaking her straight and snow-white beautiful legs intentionally or unintentionally.
If Zhou Qi had seen such a beauty before, he might have turned into a pig brother, but now he is thinking about how to turn the system's summon value into positive.
For a while, everyone stood at the city gate and advanced, neither did they not enter, who let the lord stand stupidly in front of the gate alone, and could only accompany him with a helpless look.
I don't know how long it took for everyone to finally see the lord return to his old look, and then led everyone towards the direction of the city lord's mansion.
When Yan Liangwen and the others returned, the house had already prepared a celebration banquet, and for a while, everyone sat in it and began to drink.
The next morning, Zhou Qi woke up and looked at the messy hall, shook his head weakly, wanted to remove the wine in his mind, and waited for everyone in the study after breakfast.
Time passed minute by minute, and then I saw the people who were late, obviously not less drunk yesterday's wine.
Zhou Qi cleared his throat and attracted everyone's attention to himself, and then thought about Guo Jia, who was a little pale on the side, nodded, the latter took a step forward and looked at the people present and smiled slightly: "Princess, we have now defeated the men and horses brought by Zhu Fu, presumably there will not be too many soldiers in Nanhai County."
Horse, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so you have to catch it quickly! ”
At first, everyone was a little drunk and swayed slightly, but after hearing Mr. Guo Jia's words, they all stood straight, with a pair of copper bells with big eyes and round eyes, and their bodies were filled with a faint sense of war, like a soldier waiting for review.
Seeing this, the corners of Zhou Qi's mouth rose slightly, revealing a smile, and then he spoke: "Everyone, except for General Zhang Han and Mr. Kuai Yidu, continue to guard Guiyang County, and leave when the soldiers and horses led before are left, and march quickly as much as possible to avoid everyone's ears and eyes!" ”
"Yes!" When Yan Liang and the others heard this, they clasped their hands into fists and bowed down to receive their orders.
It is said that after killing Zhu Fu, the black-robed masked man led the rest of the men and horses to flee back to Nanhai County, and for a while everyone knew that Jiaozhou Assassin Shi was killed by this person, and the local family was ready to kill him to comfort the lord's spirit in the sky.
"Master, I am waiting for the facts to be optimistic now, isn't it..."Liu Gang hid his body under the pitch-black robe, and bowed down with his hands into fists to ask, obviously feeling troubled by the meticulous work that was always monitored outside the mansion and the family clans hidden in the shadows.
In response to Liu Gang's question, the black-robed masked man's eyes were full of light, so that the peerless immortal sword was beating, and people did not dare to look directly at it.
"Liu Gang went to invite those family heads who were watching outside the mansion, as well as those who waited and watched the changes, and the history of this assassin had something to look for them!"
Liu Gang was slightly stunned when he heard this, obviously he didn't expect the lord to say such a thing, but before he had time to think about it, he felt a cold gaze fall on him, and he couldn't help but shudder, and his eyes were full of awe, and he walked quickly towards the outside of the mansion.
At this moment, some of the heads of the big families were gathering together in the secret room of the mansion to discuss, "Have you heard, Zhu Fu led his subordinates to Guiyang County before, but they failed miserably, and let people kill them!" A middle-aged man looked at the crowd present and whispered.
"At this time, I also heard that what Lord Wenxiu said is good!" Everyone nodded uncontrollably, convinced of Xu Jing's words, after all, when Zhu Fu led the soldiers on an expedition to Guiyang County, many of his subordinates were recruited from local families, and the news spread after their natural return.
"It is said that the person who killed Zhu Fu is now the masked black-robed man who lives in the City Lord's Mansion!" Xu Jing, as a member of all the heads of the families present, naturally had to plan for his family, if it weren't for this, he wouldn't have come to a barren place like Jiaozhou to avoid trouble.
The heads of the family all closed their mouths when they heard this, and they knew from the mouths of their subordinates that there were two generals beside the black-robed masked man who were very powerful, and some of them were actually controlled by the other party, and if one was not good, he would be burned.
"Lord Wenxiu, are we waiting to wait and see, after all, Lord Zhu Fu's subordinates will not let the guy who killed Lord Assassin Shi go unpunished!"
"That's right! Right! Right! Everyone nodded in agreement with the words of the previous person.
"You family masters, let's go to the City Lord's Mansion with a certain family, don't think about resisting, after all, I don't know you with the dagger in my hand!" Just when everyone was about to discuss again, a cold voice suddenly remembered in the secret room, and I don't know when there was a man standing behind Xu Jing who was covered in a black robe, not Liu Gang.
Feeling the cold killing intent on the other party's body, everyone trembled as if they were falling into an ice cave.
"Who are you and why are you here!" Although Xu Jing knew that there was a bad star standing behind him, he still mustered up the courage to ask the other party.
Regarding Xu Jing's inquiry, I saw Liu Gang's body turn into wisps of black smoke and disappear from everyone's sight
Time passed as if it had never been there.
Xu Jing and the others couldn't help but gasp when they saw such a scene, their eyes widened one by one, and they looked around carefully to find the person who was there, but no matter how everyone searched, they couldn't find the slightest evidence of the existence of the other party.
"What the hell are we going to do?" A housekeeper dressed in a fancy costume with a big belly, his face was pale and sweat the size of a bean couldn't stop dripping down his cheeks, and then cautiously asked everyone around him.
"Goo-dong!" Hearing this, everyone swallowed their saliva one by one, obviously difficult to accept such a thing, among them, Xu Jing read the book of sages where would he believe in ghosts and gods, but he also frowned at such a strange thing.
"Heads of the family, let's get up quickly, otherwise a certain family doesn't dare to guarantee that it will not let you wait for a chance to live!" Liu Gang's voice came from the room again, and there was a murderous intent.
Until this moment, everyone finally believed in the existence of the other party, and they didn't dare to stay for a moment longer, and they rushed towards the direction of the City Lord's Mansion one by one.
Xu Jing looked at the departing people and wanted to stretch out their hands to stop them, but unfortunately the building was empty before his hand was stretched out, and he sighed helplessly, and walked towards the direction of the City Lord's Mansion, after all, the cold killing intent behind him became more and more intense, and if he didn't obey, he was afraid that he would really die on the spot.
Zhou Qi and the others gathered in Guiyang City when they were young, and sent elite scouts in advance to kill the fine work sent by the heroes, and with the help of the bright moonlight, the figures of those guys could be seen falling to the ground weakly, and then being transported away by the patrolling Jingzhou army.
"Let's go!" Zhou Qi sat on the broad back of the three-eyed tiger, and the cold and shining sunny day hook and sickle in his hand swung forward violently, and then he saw the city gate being pushed open, and a team of soldiers and horses rushed towards the outside of the city, and the hooves of the tall war horses were wrapped in a tight rag to prevent the sound.
Zhang Han and Kuai Yidu stood in front of the city gate with their personal guards, looking at the back of the distant lord, and silently prayed in their hearts, hoping that the other party could return as soon as possible.
"My lord, now that we are far away from Guiyang City, do we send a pioneer to Nanhai County?" Yan Liang rode his horse and came to Zhou Qi's side and asked the other party out loud.
Zhou Qi was slightly stunned when he heard this, but when he thought of Liu Gang, who was elusive at the beginning, he vetoed Yan Liang's idea, after all, in the face of an assassination that could not be prevented, only when everyone held together could they find out the enemy's whereabouts.
For a while, everyone saw that the lord fell into silence, and they didn't know what the other party meant, as long as they sent a large group of men and horses for such a good opportunity, they would definitely be able to pocket Nanhai County when the enemy did not react.
Guo Jia seemed to see General Yan Liang's unwillingness, and immediately opened the wine gourd on his waist, and suddenly the aroma of wine overflowed, which made people feel shocked, and removed a trace of sleepiness in his mind.
"Boom! Boom! Perhaps because he drank it too quickly, the cool drink splashed down the collar and quickly fell around. Reach out and wipe the wine stains from your mouth.
The pale complexion showed a hint of ruddy, and a pair of dark eyes flashed from time to time with a light called wisdom: "General Yan Liang, the reason why the lord did not send a vanguard is for three reasons, one is afraid of an assassination that cannot be prevented, such as Liu Gang, and the other is that we have not many soldiers and horses, if we divide a part, it is inevitable that the forces will be dispersed, and this march is a cavalry, so the existence of the vanguard can naturally be canceled, and the third is that the local family needs to plan well, otherwise it will be difficult to quickly control Jiaozhou according to the plan!" ”
Everyone became silent one by one when they heard this, after all, what Guo Jia said was reasonable, even if the other party prepared in time to block the charge of the Jingzhou Iron Cavalry... to be continued
