Ouyang Zhen took the body of his brother Ouyang Kui and followed the two brothers back to Yunjian City, followed by an army of less than 20,000 people, after the first battle, the original 80,000 people plus the 50,000 people in the hands of the two brothers, a total of 130,000 troops were left with these, Ouyang Zhen was still a little shocked in his heart.

Ouyang Zhen asked: "Don't you have 50,000 men in your hands? In addition to the 5,000 losses lost in the previous attack and the 3,000 losses in the battle with the Imperial Forest Guard, there are at least more than 20,000 horses?"

The boss sneered and replied, "Do you think it's appropriate for the second prince to let the more than 20,000 people who attacked the Imperial Forest Guard return to Cloud City?

"What do you mean?"

The boss looked at Ouyang Zhen, his sharp eyes made him shudder, and he immediately understood where those people went, Ouyang Zhen looked at the boss's murderous eyes, and his heart suddenly trembled, he never thought that this was the boss's solution, although he had participated in many battles before, but he had never participated in a tragic battle like today, let alone thought about killing so many of his own people in vain.

The boss was like a bloodthirsty beast, staring at Ouyang Zhen with bloodshot eyes, leaving him without the slightest breathing space. Ouyang Zhen instinctively slowed down and kept a distance from the boss.

"God knows this, you know it, I know it, and I hope you can understand the stakes. The boss said coldly.

Ouyang Zhen swallowed his saliva, he knew that they had a handle on each other, he only hoped to return to Cloud City as soon as possible to end the matter, and then completely cut off contact with the beast in front of him, "I understand", Ouyang Zhen replied indifferently.

Back in Cloud City, Ouyang Zhen reported to his father how to quell the rebellion and how Ouyang Kui died in battle according to the previous agreement. When Ouyang Yi heard that his eldest son had died in battle, he was immediately furious, his heart and gallbladder were broken, and he came to his senses after a long time, and then scolded Su Hongzhen for being unfavorable and cowardly, which led to Ouyang Kui's death.

Although Su Hongzhen explained in every possible way, Ouyang Yi had already lost his mind due to the pain of losing his son, so where could he still listen to his explanation.

At this time, the soldier who was responsible for cleaning up Yongding Pass urgently sent Ouyang Yi a letter, after reading the letter, Ouyang Yi's temples were exposed, his face was red, and he said angrily: "No wonder Su Hong is really afraid and refuses to enter the army, it turns out that he has long been in contact with Su Hongfang, I have already said that the Su brothers are wolf and ambitious, and now they have to give their lives in vain, if you don't kill this thief, it will be difficult to eliminate the hatred in my heart!"

At this time, Ouyang Yi was furious, and he couldn't say anything, so he immediately sent someone to Su Mansion to get people.

As for what was said in the letter, it was roughly that Su Hongzhen guaranteed that the defenders of Yunjian City would not move and would not join forces with Yue Zifeng, and when the rebels fought against Yue Zifeng, Su Hongzhen would block the army of King Qin from the east, and then surrender the city.

And it was the three brothers who undertook the task of killing Su Hongzhen, long before Ouyang Yi's order was issued, the boss had already sent people to quietly ambush around Su Mansion, and when the order came down, the people who were originally in ambush immediately rushed into the mansion, and they couldn't say anything, they would kill anyone they saw, and before Su Hongzhen could react, the boss's knife was already on Su Hongzhen's neck, and the boss escorted Su Hongzhen to see Ouyang Yi.

Ouyang Yi was overjoyed when he saw this, and ordered the Su Mansion to be beheaded.

"Father, I'm afraid I have to ask the emperor for this, right? Su Hongzhen is also a fanjun, and his level is above you, so if you kill him without permission, I'm afraid the emperor will blame him. ”

"If you don't kill this thief, it's hard to solve the hatred in my heart! Don't say more, I will bear all the responsibility, you can do it with confidence!"

"Hey, poor Su Hongzhen, who is loyal and brave in his life, died like this. ”

The old wonton let out a long sigh, took a sip of wine, and stared at the beating light with sad eyes.

"What happened?"

"Later, because of his meritorious service in quelling the rebellion, the eldest was appointed by the emperor as the chief secretary of the Phoenix City Military Division, and the second was appointed as the city lord of Cloud City, and Ouyang Zhen also inherited his brother's position as he wished. ”

Duan Feng said: "How did the boss become the commander of the Martial Arts Division of Phoenix City? This is not logical? It stands to reason that the whole thing was planned by the boss, and he should be the city lord of Cloud City." ”

Old Wonton said: "Outsiders can't understand this matter, it is said that this is the boss's own decision, as for the reason, no one knows." ”

Han Qing asked again: "Why did Ouyang Yi believe Yue Zifeng's rebellion so easily at that time?

Old Wonton said: "There is a certain reason for this. At that time, Phoenix City was sitting on the largest black iron mine in the empire, and the largest smelting base in the empire at that time was also located under the rule of Phoenix City. And it happened that when the battle was in full swing, a batch of wrought iron that was originally intended to be transported to the imperial capital mysteriously disappeared, which attracted Ouyang Yi's attention even more. In addition, he had just lost his son, and the secret letter was handed over to him by Ouyang Zhen himself, so when the secret letter arrived in front of Ouyang Yi, he would naturally believe the content of the letter. ”

Duan Feng sighed: "It's so cruel to give up the lives of more than 100,000 people in vain for his own selfish interests!"

Han Qing thought: "That boss later sat in the Martial Arts Division of Phoenix City, isn't it Sima Ran!"

Old Wonton said, "Sima Ran, I haven't heard of it, but then I heard that the boss was killed in battle when he later put down the rebellion of the Beast Clan, and that the new city lord of Cloud City was assassinated three years later. ”

Duan Feng said: "It's really better to be a human being than the sky, and this can be regarded as God's punishment for him." ”

Old Wonton looked at Duan Feng thoughtfully and muttered, "Yes, yes." ”

Duan Feng asked again, "Then where did the army of more than 20,000 people go?"

The old wonton looked at the oil lamp for a moment, and muttered, as if talking to himself, "Only the dead don't talk nonsense." ”

"All dead! How could this be! That's more than 20,000 people!"

The old wonton said: "Yes! More than 20,000 lives died in such an unknown way, and I am afraid that they will not know what they died for." ”

Duan Feng sat on the stool and didn't come back to his senses for a long time, and the old wonton said: "It is said that the army of more than 20,000 people was stationed here at that time. ”

Duan Feng subconsciously looked at his feet, stood up silently, and looked out the window, most of the shops on both sides of the street had closed, and the entire street was shrouded in pale moonlight.

Walking on the way to the camp, the streets were empty at this time, Duan Feng had been thinking about the story that Lao Wonton told him, he didn't expect that there would be such cruel things and such vicious people in the world. Duan Feng couldn't believe that the land under his feet had buried more than 20,000 dead souls.

"That boss's surname is Duan. ”

There was a confusion in Duan Feng's mind, and when the old wonton finally looked into his eyes and said this, Duan Feng was unsteady on his feet, and reached out to hold the door frame, "Is it a coincidence?"

"Don't think about it, that man died in battle in thirty years. Han Qing reminded.

"I hope so. Duan Feng said coldly.

The two walked silently, experiencing the gloom of 20,000 undead crying around them.

Suddenly, a figure in front of him hurriedly ran over, and when he got closer, he saw that it was Su Yanjun, who held the sword and said breathlessly, "The minecart has been robbed!"

Duan Feng was taken aback when he heard this, and immediately collected his thoughts, and the three of them hurriedly returned to the camp, and when the three of them arrived, they saw the injured Liu Yuwei comforting the injured soldiers, and when they saw the two coming back, they immediately ran over to report the situation at that time.

According to Liu Yuwei, a group of men and horses suddenly attacked the camp while the guards were resting, and then a group of men in black hijacked the minecart, which was too heavy, so they only robbed about a third of it.

After listening to Liu Yuwei's words, Duan Feng thought to himself: "Who would rob the mine car, this kind of thing is heavy and stupid, and even if it is robbed, they have to be pulled to the smelter for smelting, at present, the mines that can smelt such a large-scale ore have all been filed with the government, and they will definitely be exposed at that time." Even if they had their own smelter, it would be far less real than robbing money. ”

Duan Feng said: "Today is really a strange thing, first the corpse on the North Three Mountains, then the death of the old man in the ghost called the pit, and now there is a robbery of the mine car, today is really lively." ”

Liu Yuwei said: "Don't be noisy, think about what to do now! The minecart was robbed, how can you explain to Master Sima when you go back?"

Duan Feng thought about it, and he was right, he was entrusted by someone to escort the minecart, and now that the minecart was robbed, wouldn't he be a disgrace to others, and he felt ashamed of Sima Ran in both public and private.

However, the minecart was cumbersome, and it would definitely not be fast to pull them, and it was too late to catch up now, so Duan Feng left Liu Yuwei and Su Yanjun to take care of the convoy, while he and Han Qing led people to look for them in the direction of the retreat of the man in black.

Along the way, the two found that there were some ores scattered on the road, and the ruts were very disordered, and the group seemed to be walking in a hurry, not premeditated, but improvised.

Within five miles, the two chased them to a ravine, where they found the looted minecarts and ore discarded in a messy manner.

Duan Feng looked at Han Qing: "It seems that this group of people are not here for the minecart, so why are they here?"

Han Qing looked around and found that the surrounding area was surrounded by mountains on three sides, although the mountains were not high, they were steep enough.

"I think we've been tricked!" Han Qing said vigilantly.

Duan Feng also understood what he meant, and without saying a word, he drew out his Ice Sword and prepared to retreat.

"It's been a long time! Old friends meet, do you want to leave so soon?!" A familiar voice came from behind Duan Feng, and at the same time, a group of black-clothed people jumped out of the grass to surround the two.

Duan Feng turned around and looked at it, and said in surprise: "It's you?"
