Chapter 143: Before the Cliff
After the horse trekked into the canyon, those leaders speculated in their hearts about what kind of person they were going to see General Qin Li, and when a total of seventeen leaders were invited into the big tent of the Tieyan Department, they saw the young general sitting in the central main seat, and beside him was a middle-aged man with a round face in a gorgeous costume.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please be seated." Looking at the seventeen heads who cast suspicious glances, Li Ang had a smile on his face that made people feel like a spring breeze.
This is to kill three hundred horse thieves single-handedly and kill the Great Qin General who is in charge of Yunsan for half a day! Looking at the young and handsome Li Ang, the eyes of those conceited leaders showed suspicion. Among them, the two leaders who were on Li Ang's must-kill list showed direct contempt on their faces.
"I asked you to come over this time because Bantianyun attacked Daqin's caravan." Li Ang took in the expressions on everyone's faces, and still said lightly, "They offended Great Qin, so they must die." In the end, the smile on his face had all disappeared, and there was a murderous aura in his voice.
Looking at the young general who suddenly became as cold as a blade, the seventeen leaders couldn't help but be shocked, they didn't expect this young general with a smile on his face to be so terrifying.
"I am very satisfied that you have accepted my call." Li Ang laughed again, but this time, those leaders didn't dare to despise him anymore, they knew very well that the smile of the young general in front of him was just a cover-up.
"Your loyalty, I will report to the emperor." Li Ang glanced at the people present, "But before exterminating the rebellion of Bantianyun." I hope you will obey my commands. No one dared to question his words, not even the two heads of the two heads. did not dare to compete for the position of commander of the coalition army.
"I need a deputy to help lead the coalition forces, and I've decided to choose this person from among the leaders." Li Ang looked at all the leaders, stood up, pulled out the black horse slashing giant sword beside him, pointed forward with one finger, and then slowly inserted it into the center of the tent. He said to them, "The rules for my selection are very simple, whoever can use this sword of mine is the deputy commander of the coalition forces." ”
Listening to Li Ang's words, all the leaders moved their minds, they looked at the black giant sword, and thought in their hearts, the leader of the last small tribe was the first to stand up, he pulled out the black giant sword, and held it with both hands. I used all my strength, but I could barely lift it. Not to mention dancing.
Putting down the giant sword with a red face, the man said to Li Ang, "The general is really a god, I can't use this sword, our tribe is willing to be the general's pawn, but just follow the general to kill the thief." ”
Ten heads in a row are the same as the first one. can only barely raise the seven-foot horse slashing heavy sword, no one can dance at all, after this time, those leaders only understood that those envoys of the Tieyan Department did not brag, and the Great Qin General in front of him was indeed extremely brave. The last few tome leaders also returned with a long sword of more than forty catties, and all they could hold was that section of the hilt, which had to be picked up with strength. Far better than picking up a heavier long weapon with both hands.
Of the seventeen heads, the only one who could make a slight wave was Iron Wing. Pick up the sword with one hand. After Li Ang casually danced the sword collection style of the forty-six sword tricks, he looked at the frightened leader, "Then the deputy commander of the coalition army will be the head of the iron wing, do you have any objections?" Glancing at the terrifying black giant sword, those leaders dared to disagree, and responded again and again.
"Okay, then, I have something to announce to you." After Li Ang sat down, after making a look at Huang Yuan beside him, Huang Yuan came out of the order, only to see that the people in the tent were frightened, and the gloomy aura on Huang Yuan, who had been buried in the public case for many years, made them feel uneasy.
"I will not act with the coalition forces in the next few days, and in my absence, Mr. Chen will take charge of the military in my place." Li Ang forced his eyes to look at the leaders present, his voice was unhurried, but the leaders who listened only felt that their hearts were tight.
"Before I do that, I'm going to kill two spies." Li Ang looked at the heads with puzzled expressions and said quietly. At this time, Huang Yuan had already walked in with a few horse thieves who had confessed, and as soon as the horse thieves entered the tent, they knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.
"Let's say, which leader of your land is colluding with to dominate the desert!" Li Ang glanced at the horse thieves who had been arranged a long time ago, and said coldly, "If you say it, I will spare your lives." ”
"Yes, it's him, and he." A few horse thieves pretended to hesitate for a while, and then pointed to the two leaders, before they came in, Huang Yuan had already told them where the two people were sitting, and they knew each other very quickly.
"You are talking nonsense, how could I collude with you horse thieves." Seeing the horse thieves pointing at themselves, the two leaders jumped up, they already felt that something was wrong, the young general looked at them with killing intent in his eyes, and they deserved to die, these two people were placed in the desert, they could be regarded as characters, quite scheming, but they should not show an unwilling look under the banner of the Great Qin Army, and they were also seen by Li Ang.
The unlucky two leaders pressed their hands on the hilt of the knife at their waists, and this self-preservation action fell in Tie Yi's eyes, and he immediately seized the opportunity to shout, "You two dare to assassinate the general." ”
At this time, the other leaders didn't feel anything wrong, but when they were shouted by Tie Yi, they all looked at the two of them with some suspicion, which made the two people even more flustered, they hurriedly wanted to explain, but Li Ang wouldn't give them a chance, the black giant sword suddenly came out of its sheath, and the sound of breaking the wind was like thunder, and the other leaders only saw a flash of sword light, and the expressions on the faces of the two leaders were frozen.
As the sword sheathed back, a streak of blood appeared in the throats of the two leaders, followed by a rain of blood spraying into the tent, and their bodies fell to the ground in the light sound of the wind. Looking at the two leaders who died, the eyes of the rest of the leaders who looked at Li Ang had all turned into fear, and even if a few of the leaders who were quite smart noticed something wrong, they didn't dare to say anything more, not to mention that they were all dead. It's useless to say it.
"Everyone, as long as you are loyal to Great Qin. After this rebellion, he was rewarded with his own reward. Leon looked at the frightened heads, knew that it was not appropriate to suppress them anymore, and said slowly, An
Earth thoughts.
"We must be loyal to Daqin, and we dare not have a bad heart." At this time, the leaders who had dealings with the two dead people hurriedly said. They already understood that the reason why General Daqin in front of them wanted to kill those two people was because those two people had a disobedient heart. Soon there was a voice of loyalty in the tent, and no one wanted to follow in the footsteps of the dead.
After comforting these frightened leaders with kind words, Li Ang walked out of the big tent, he had already eliminated the two most threatening people for Chen Lang, and the remaining people had already broken their courage, as for those two people's subordinates, he was not even more worried, they died. There are people below who come up, and they still can't ask for it.
Walk into the camp of the dart game. Li Ang saw a hundred elite dart players, and he could see that Dugu and those darts worked hard to pick out such a group of people. Looking at Dugu Xiao, Li Ang nodded, and then looked at these humanes. "From this moment on, you are my subordinates, no matter whether you live or die, I will not abandon you, after this mission, you can become a Great Qin soldier, and if you die, I will also give him a title of dying in battle."
"I am willing to die for the general." After listening to Leon's words, the darts replied neatly. Hearing their answers, Li Ang looked at Dugu Xiao. He was indeed right, this young chief dart has the potential to become an excellent soldier.
"Take your repeaters. Come with me. Li Ang glanced at Dugu Xiao and those dart players, the repeater crossbow is a weapon that the imperial court prohibits the people from owning, but for those dart boards that are out of the dart, they will always do everything possible to get this kind of weapon, even if it is just a three-shot short crossbow privately made by an ordinary blacksmith shop.
"You are now my subordinates, and it is not forbidden to use a repeater." Looking at their faces, Leon laughed, and he walked out of the camp. Dugu Xiao was just stunned, and then shouted and asked the dart players to bring their crossbows.
Outside the canyon, Murong Ke and the others were already ready to go, and beside them were horses recruited from the Tieyan Ministry, Li Ang glanced at the darts who followed them, and said to them, "Two horses for each person, we will go to the nest of the clouds for a long time tonight." ”
Listening to Li Ang's words, Dugu Xiao and those darts were shocked, they didn't expect that the general in front of them was so bold, and he actually planned to take a hundred people to the horse thief's lair, it was crazy.
"Get on the horse." Leon didn't have time to pay attention to what they were thinking, and in the midst of the shouting, he had already turned over and got on his horse.
Looking at Li Ang and the others who were galloping away, Dugu Xiao and those dart players were hot in their hearts, and they also rode their horses to follow, men, they always have to do something heroic in their lives, so as not to come to this world in vain, they are people who lick blood with knives, and what are they afraid of, it's just a den of thieves.
In one night and one day, Li Ang and they changed horses continuously, and they rushed nearly three hundred miles, and the route opened by the coalition army was different, Li Ang's route bypassed the Hongyun Mountain where the horse thieves were stationed, and he wanted to attack the horse thieves' lair directly from behind the mountain, when he arrived at the back mountain of the horse thief village, it was noon the next day, at the same time, Chen Lang and Tie Yi had already set off with the coalition army, and the distance from the front of the horse thief cottage was only two days.
Looking at the people who were already showing fatigue, Li Ang dismounted, "Fix it in place." After giving the order, he rested with the people, and after two hours, Leon looked at them and said, "Let's go." Then the group left their horses, walked to the mountains and forests, and under the guidance of several horse thieves, they walked to the back of the horse thief cottage.
In the gloomy woods, Tulle was at the forefront, and according to the horse thieves, the great master of Bantianyun had laid many traps in the woods near that dangerous place in the back mountain, just in case.
Waving his hand to stop the people behind him, Tule cautiously approached a large number tree that looked nothing unusual, walked aside, bent down, picked the leaves on the ground with a knife, found the vine rope where the mechanism was arranged, untied it, tied it to the number, and then beckoned to Leon and them, and he had removed no less than twenty traps along the way.
"Let's go." Seeing that Thule had solved the trap again, Leon continued to lead the people forward, he had been in the jungle before, and had seen many traps, but he could not do it if Thule could quietly disarm the trap in three or two clicks.
Before dark, Leon and the others finally touched the steep cliff, looking at the cliff that was almost the same as standing upright, Leon looked at the horse thieves who accompanied him, and his eyes showed a somewhat complicated look, these horse thieves didn't lie to him, but...
At the moment when Li Ang hesitated, Huang Yuan, who had been silent all the way, suddenly pulled out his knife, one by one, and killed these horse thieves who led the way. The others looked at Huang Yuan, who was pulling out a knife to kill people, and knew that what he did was right, but they couldn't help but feel a little disgusted in their hearts. Huang Yuan wiped the blood stains on the knife and put the knife back into the sheath, he didn't care what others thought, this time he just repaid Li Ang for his kindness.
"If Guanlan doesn't make a move, I will do it too." The silent Li Ang suddenly spoke, he couldn't let Huang Yuan bear the strange eyes of others alone, it was unfair, and he couldn't explain to himself.
"I don't want you to have any thoughts in your hearts, and if you are soft-hearted, it will only endanger everyone, understand?" Leon glanced at the entire team, his voice low. His words made Huang Yuan's heart move, and Li Ang's responsibility made him feel a little broken, but he didn't show anything on his face, and just stood aside quietly.
After listening to Li Ang's words, the others woke up in their minds, and looked at Huang Yuan with a little more guilt, they were indeed too superficial, "Brother Huang, I'm sorry." Murong Ke said softly suddenly, he also felt that Huang Yuan was too untrustworthy and cruel just now.
Huang Yuan just smiled at everyone, and then followed Li Ang to the cliff in the distance, and the rest of the people didn't say anything anymore, and followed quietly together. In the darkness of the sky, the steep cliffs were blurred, and only in the middle of the day, when the cold moonlight sprinkled down, could the protruding rocks be seen.
"Give me the rope." Leon looked at Thule, took the coiled cowhide rope from his hand, slung it over his shoulder, and walked to the cliff about a hundred meters high
