Chapter 189: Shock
The commotion in King Jing's camp was that the two sides were slashing and killing.
You don't need to see Yan Qingge clearly to know that it must be the Gu Jun who just came here today and the Jing Wang Jun who clashed. It's ironic that they're still eating roasted bison and drinking at night, but now they're meeting each other.
But from the army behind the mountain, Yan Qingge didn't know who the force was.
Moreover, the army behind the mountain was obviously the strongest, because they did not have torches, but rode many horses, and they were obviously familiar with the terrain of Qingzhou, and they could also rush to the road.
Right now, it seems that the praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch is behind, Yan Qingge and their small team of fifty people, they can't even fill the gaps between their teeth when they go out, so they can only watch from the wall.
No one could have imagined that things would change so quickly.
Especially Zhou Jiaotou, his mouth couldn't close for a long time in surprise.
The army behind the mountain was extremely fast, and it only took two quarters of an hour to gallop down the mountain.
Through the light of the fire in King Jing's camp, Yan Qingge could see clearly that those who were riding on horses were all dressed as barbarians.
It seems that this time Jing Wang Jun and Gu Jun are all finished!
"When did the brute become so smart?" Zhou Jiaotou was surprised.
It's no wonder that Zhou Jiaotou looks down on the brute soldiers, the brute soldiers are indeed very simple-minded and have developed limbs. They were good at riding horses, but for thousands of years, they had never invented such practical things as saddles, stirrups, and horseshoes. Even now, many Northern Barbarians still ride naked horses.
They hunt for a living, but they are not good at bows and arrows, and they are best at cutting with knives.
Speaking of knives, there are many minerals in the land of the Northern Barbarians, but they never know how to smelt iron and forge ore, and most of the knives and gold and iron tools used are exchanged from the Great Zhou.
Such a nation that advocates personal bravery and will never think beyond what it does, it is no wonder that Zhou Jiaotou will be surprised by their surprise attack today.
Yan Qingge also felt very strange in his heart.
With the addition of that brute soldier, Gu Jun and Jing Wang Jun, who were fighting together, suddenly became fish and meat on the board, and they were cut by others.
The battle situation that was originally stalemate immediately became a one-sided situation - but the two sides that were originally stalemate became prey.
The barbarians' shouts of killing broke through the quiet night, reaching the hill where Yan Qingge and they were hiding, and the reverberation of the seeping people echoed in their ears.
Yan Qingge silently shrunk his neck and sat down with his knees hugged, but his eyes were through the long grass, staring at the camp tightly.
I don't know how long it took for the brutal slaughter to come to an end.
After a while, she saw what she wanted to see.
I saw a barbarian soldier pull out a man and a woman from the tent of King Jing's camp.
The woman is Yan Shuyu, and the man is the one who is not innocent with him.
The brute dragged the struggling Yan Shuyu and the man all the way to a leader-like man sitting on a horse.
The man rode a horse, walked around Yan Shuyu and the man, and then without knowing what to say, a cavalryman beside him stretched out his arm and scooped Yan Shuyu onto the horse, and held it firmly. Yan Shuyu's adulterer was kicked away, and I don't know if he fainted or died.
After a while, the brute roared away with the looted food and the only woman, leaving dead bodies everywhere.
At this time, the sky began to lighten.
Seeing that the barbarians had already gone away, Yan Qingge stood up and said, "Let's go down." ”
Zhou Jiaotou looked at Yan Qingge in surprise and said, "Miss Yan, it may be dangerous down there." ”
"It used to be dangerous, but now it's not." Yan Qingge said: "If we don't find one or two living people, we will never know what happened last night." And, if I'm not mistaken, the brutes didn't take all the grass and food away. ”
Yan Qingge's last sentence completely encouraged Zhou Jiaotou.
During their three months on the island, they ran out of many necessities, and it was time to replenish them urgently. Although it is also the comrades of the Great Zhou who died, the Jing Wangjun is equivalent to the rebels, and they are not as cute as the Northern Barbarians.
With food as encouragement, they walked much faster down the mountain than up the mountain, and when they reached the ruins of King Jing's camp, the morning dew had not yet dried.
From a distance, they didn't feel it, but when they looked closely, they only felt that it was like purgatory, with corpses in one place, stumps in one place, and the pungent smell of blood making people unable to breathe at all.
When the barbarians left, they didn't set fire, probably because there were too many dead bodies, and they couldn't burn them at all.
Maybe there are still people here who are just injured and still alive, but it is a big project to get out.
Zhou Jiaotou couldn't bear to let Yan Qingge do this kind of work with a girl's family, and told her to stay far away.
After about two hours, Zhou Jiaotou and a few others helped a few bloody soldiers out.
The injuries suffered by these people were relatively light, and their consciousness was fairly clear, and they were able to ask questions. This is already the best person they have ever found to interrogate.
Because Yan Qingge was dressed as a man, she was still wearing leather armor, and she deliberately smeared two handfuls of dirt on her face, so it was easy to tell that she was a woman, but the temperament of the superior on her body could not be changed.
These people knelt on the ground for the injured and listened to Yan Qingge's questioning.
"Where are you troops?"
"Report to the general, the three small ones are all Gu Jun's people." The three replied in unison.
"Who are the people who led the army of your Gu army, and why did you come to make peace with King Jing's army." Yan Qingge asked.
"Our general is Gu Mingguang, who was raided by thieves under King Jing last night and has been killed in battle. Our general came here to receive a letter from King Jingjun, saying that the five princes are here, hoping to join forces and send the five princes to Yuhu City. Our general came after hearing the news, who knew that it was actually a conspiracy of King Jing. One of the soldiers, apparently knowing more, choked up.
Yan Qingge nodded, she hadn't heard of the name Gu Mingguang, and it shouldn't be the same as her aunt. If what the soldier said is true, this general is also pitiful.
Another soldier suddenly interjected: "I wonder who the general is?" If you have the chance, can you avenge my general! Last night, Xiao watched the barbarian general talk to the demon girl of the Jing Wang Army, and it seemed that the demon girl and the barbarian general were familiar with each other. ”
"That's right! The barbarian will take the demon girl away in the end, and there is no concubine to kill the demon girl! They must have colluded for a long time. The brute must have been attracted by the enchantress and her concubine. The third soldier was weak.
"Wait, do you know who that witch's concubine is?"
"I don't know, I just heard that the person was the accompanying military doctor, surnamed Ouyang. We don't know exactly who it is. But all the people in King Jing's camp listened to the orders of the military doctor. ”
"Ouyang Shaoming!" Yan Qingge couldn't help but blurt out.
She had seen Ouyang Shaoming before, but it was only a one-sided relationship, and she was not very impressed. But suddenly knowing that it was him, and then matching the figure of the man he had seen in the past few days with Ouyang Shaoming in his memory, Yan Qingge immediately knew that it was him.
"Yan Xiao...... General Yan, do you know who that person is? Zhou Jiaotou almost said that he missed his mouth, and called Miss Yan to Yan Qingge again, but fortunately, he changed his words.
Yan Qingge couldn't have imagined that Yan Shuyu was so bold and just messed up with others, and this time she hooked up with her uncle. Although the two are not related by blood, they are also her elders.
"That Ouyang Shaoming is the third young shopkeeper of Hai's Pharmacy. Although he is not surnamed Hai, he was raised by the old shopkeeper of Hai's pharmacy since he was a child, and he was incorporated into the dental order of the Hai brothers. ”
Many people looked at Yan Qingge in puzzlement, not knowing what Yan Qingge was doing when he suddenly mentioned Hai's Pharmacy.
Yan Qingge paused and said, "Yan Shuyu's biological mother is the daughter of the old shopkeeper of Hai's Pharmacy. ”
Suddenly, all the soldiers were in an uproar!
If what Yan Qingge said was right, this Yan Shuyu actually got together with her uncle!
In the past three days, they have watched Yan Shuyu and her uncle hugging, touching their little faces, pulling their little hands or something, this is too shameless!
Even the three wounded soldiers on the ground were stunned, and they couldn't imagine that they would still hear such a secret.
Yan Qingge's shock was no less than theirs, Yan Shuyu did not have a lower limit to this extent, which made her feel extremely ridiculous, and even loosened her hatred for Yan Shuyu's long-standing hatred - for this kind of beast who disregards human morality, she is so attentive, is she too sorry for herself.
Zhou Jiao was shocked in the past few days, and he was about to eat more than he had eaten in the first half of his life.
He silently turned his head, coughed, stopped his subordinates who were getting more and more outrageous, and said, "Okay! Now that everything is clear, let's go and take a look at the military rations. ”
Moving military rations is the first priority, and as for how the prince's concubine messes with her uncle, it is not within the jurisdiction of his Zhou sect leader.
The three wounded soldiers couldn't ask anything more, they were mostly talking about Gu Jun's affairs, and they didn't help Yan Qingge and them.
But Yan Qingge's brows were furrowed - the three soldiers said that Yan Shuyu seemed to know the barbarian general, but this matter was a bit outrageous. Could it be that Yan Shuyu has dealt with brute soldiers in the past three months?
But if that's true, the barbarian threw her on horseback last night was very arrogant, and there was no pity at all.
Yan Qingge couldn't figure it out after thinking about it, but Zhou Jiaotou had already pulled out the grain cart happily.
When Gu Jun first arrived, most of the grain and grass had not had time to unload the truck, and the barbarians only plundered part of it, and they didn't even kill the cattle and horses pulling the carts.
After Yan Xiuyu was lost, he had the intention of going to Yuhu City, but he was dispelled by Yan Qingge's words.
Yes, although Yuhu seems to be safe, how long can it be safe?
And now the dignitaries and nobles are walking all over the ground, and the grain and grass may not be enough, where can he get his turn.
And after he goes back, the sin of Yan Xiuyu's disappearance will definitely be placed on him and those surviving soldiers.
But if you insist more on it outside, you will become a righteous man who resists barbarians, so why go back and confess your guilt instead of being a hero.
Although he knew that there was Yan Qingge's selfishness in this, what Yan Qingge was thinking about was to find Yan Xiuyu. If you can't find a living person, it's good to find a corpse. If he can't find the bones, he can kill more barbarians to take revenge, which does not conflict with his interests.
