Chapter 103: The Coffin of Old Knowledge
It was already dawn, and Xiao Yan and his party returned to the camp.
Xiao Yan lay in his tent and thought about this war!
There was too much unusual aura in it, why would Beirong wage war against Beiqin under such unfavorable conditions for themselves?
From the time the envoys of Beirong left the imperial city to return to Beirong, and then to Beirong's gathering of troops to the border, their movements inevitably became a little faster!
And the failure of Xiao Shuntian's battle plan......
Xiao Yan had to wonder if there was someone in the court who collaborated with the enemy, and there were also internal ghosts in the army!
As if knowing Xiao Yan's arrival, the Beirong army, which had not moved for many days, ran to the gate of Shacheng that afternoon to call for battle.
As soon as Xiao Yan ascended the city tower, he saw Tuoba Ruan, the number one general of Beirong, standing in front of the formation, and there was a board car parked in the open space in the middle of the gate of Shacheng, and a coffin was placed on the car.
When Xiao Yan saw the coffin, the ominous feeling in his heart was even worse! His eyes became deep and terrifying, like a harbinger of an approaching storm.
"The little general is really here!" Seeing Xiao Yan standing on the city gate in a black robe, Tuoba Ruan said loudly.
"It turned out to be General Tuoba! Not a general, what is this intention? Is this for the next place? ”
Xiao Yan looked at the coffin and asked tentatively.
"Ben will ask himself if he has not the ability to take the life of the little general! This is just the old acquaintance of the little general! For the sake of our acquaintance for many years, I specially sent it back to the little general today! ”
"Little General! This..."Han Yang asked in a low voice beside him, he suddenly became uneasy after listening to Tuoba Ruan's words, it can't be...
"Oh? Old knowledge? I don't know which old acquaintance bothered General Tuoba so much? Xiao Yan's tone didn't change at all, but the hand he put on his side was tightly clenched into a fist, and he naturally thought of what Han Yang thought of, and he couldn't believe it was true.
"Whoever the little general is, you won't know if you look at it!" Tuoba Ruan said and waved the big knife in his hand and slashed towards the coffin!
Xiao Yan snatched the bow and arrow from the archer next to him, shot an arrow quickly, and then flew down the city gate.
The arrow feathers shot into the ground in front of Tuoba Ruan's horse, and the horse under Tuoba Ruan raised its front hooves in shock.
Tuoba Ruan tightened the reins so hard that he was not swept off his horse by the sudden force.
By the time he stabilized the horse he was sitting down, Xiao Yan had already stood next to the coffin.
Regardless of whether it was the person they guessed inside, they couldn't let Tuoba Ruan open this coffin in front of the formation, which was a great humiliation to the person inside!
"The little general is good at archery."
"General Tuoba has won the award!" Xiao Yan said in a deep voice.
While Xiao Yan and Tuoba Ruan were talking, Han Yang also hurriedly opened the city gate and rushed out with soldiers and horses.
Xiao Yan motioned with his eyes to Han Yang to pull the coffin into the city first, while he continued to stand opposite Tuoba Ruan to confront him.
Who knew that Tuoba Ruan had no intention of starting a war with Xiao Yan today.
"Since the person has been delivered, the general will go back first!"
As he spoke, he raised his hand and motioned for everyone to withdraw their troops!
It wasn't until Tuoba Ruan and Beirong's army retreated and disappeared that Xiao Yan returned to the city with the army behind him.
"Little General!" Han Yang stepped forward to ask Xiao Yan.
"Let's talk about the camp first!" Xiao Yan asked Han Yang to wait for the coffin in the camp first, regardless of whether it was inside as they guessed, there were still many people in Shacheng now, and he wanted to minimize the impact.
The coffin was placed in the military tent of the meeting, and when Xiao Yan entered, a group of soldiers were waiting there.
"Open the coffin!" Xiao Yan said this directly after walking to the main seat.
A few young generals picked up the crowbar that had been prepared long ago and opened the coffin!
"General!! Han Yang's grief-stricken voice rang out.
The others also knelt on the ground, and it was really as they had guessed before, the person inside was really Xiao Shuntian!
Xiao Yan stood on the main seat, and the moment the coffin was opened, he saw Xiao Shuntian's face.
Xiao Shuntian was wearing the same battle robe he wore when he disappeared, and it was stained with the blood of someone else or Xiao Shuntian! Xiao Shuntian's eyes were closed at this time, lying peacefully in the coffin.
But Xiao Shuntian's face has already appeared corpse spots, at such a cold time, it can be judged that he has been dead for a long time, I am afraid that he will be dead on the day after his disappearance!
"Little General! Beirong deceives people too much! Please give me the order to send troops now! Avenge the general! ”
"Yes! Little General! We can't let the general die in vain! Since they dare to humiliate the general like this! I have to bear the wrath of our Xiao Jiajun! ”
Several generals and captains of the Xiao family's army were stimulated by Xiao Shuntian's death to lose their minds, and they all shouted for the Beirong people to resist their lives.
"That's it! Be quiet! Han Yang wiped the tears from his face and said in a deep voice.
The saddest thing now should be the little general, who has lost not only the leader of the Xiao family's army, but also his father.
Han Yang looked at Xiao Yan and found that he was really clenching a pair of fists, staring at a pair of tiger eyes, and his eyes were scarlet as if he could drip blood!
"Little General?" Han Yang was afraid that Xiao Yan would lose his mind, so he called him tentatively.
"Let's get out first!" Xiao Yan spoke, but his voice was very calm.
"Little General? You..."
"I'll let you all out!!" Han Yang wanted to say something to Xiao Yan, but was interrupted by Xiao Yan's sudden roar.
"Little General's Day condolences!"
Han Yang felt a pain in his heart when he saw Xiao Yan like this, so let him be quiet!
So he saluted Xiao Yan, and then took the other generals out together.
"General Han, this..."After the generals sent by the imperial court left, all the officials of the Xiao family army looked at Han Yang.
Xiao Shuntian is an undefeated legend in Beiqin, and now that he is dead, it is a big blow to Beiqin.
But it was a devastating blow to their Xiao family's army, Xiao Shuntian was their soul pillar, Xiao Dagongzi's weak body couldn't support everything in the Xiao family's army, and the little general was young, how to lead them to confront the imperial court.
Under such circumstances, within a few years, the Xiao family's army will be swallowed up by the emperor.
"I believe in the little general! Let's wait and see! There's always a way! ”
Han Yang comforted everyone, but his heart was really bottomless!
If Xiao Yan falls like this, then the Xiao family army is really finished! As long as Xiao Yan is still there, he will help him protect the Xiao family army with all his might!
Xiao Yan ignored the noisy sound outside the tent, he lay quietly next to the coffin, looking at Xiao Shuntian inside!
Thinking that when he was in the imperial city, because of the Gu, he didn't even see Xiao Shuntian for the last time, and seeing him again at this moment was an eternal separation.
Even in winter, Xiao Shuntian's body had begun to decompose, but Xiao Yan didn't seem to be able to smell the smell.
He called a basin of water to tidy up Xiao Shuntian's remains, and he gently wiped Xiao Shuntian's face, little by little, little by little, seriously and **!
"Dad, I'm sorry! I'm late! Xiao Yan said softly.
Xiao Yan untied Xiao Shuntian's robe, he had to scrub Xiao Shuntian clean, he couldn't let Xiao Shuntian leave covered in blood.
After unbuttoning the button on Xiao Shuntian's neck, Xiao Yan found a trace of abnormality, and he untied the robe on Xiao Shuntian's upper body more quickly, "Ah!!!! When he saw Xiao Shuntian's upper body, Xiao Yan suddenly looked up to the sky and let out a tragic roar!
