Chapter 292: The Storm is Coming
Outside the southern border of the empire, a skirmish finally ended.
One hundred and eighty-one Xuan Tiewei were reduced again, thirty-one were killed and one hundred and fifty were alive.
Chutian's personal guards, originally a hundred people, were killed 81 people and 19 were captured.
Ten of the Red Guards in the guard, including the centurion, killed nine and seriously wounded one.
Listening to the casualty data reported below, Qin Yu's face was a little gloomy.
These thirty-one people fought hard from the beast tide 20,000 miles away, and they didn't die in the hands of the demon clan, but they died in the hands of their own people, how ironic it is.
"The infighting among the human race will not disappear, and the factions within the army will not be cured, and it will eventually become a catastrophe. Qin Yu sighed, but he was helpless.
Others don't say anything lightly, even if there are really big people who want to rectify, I'm afraid it will be difficult to protect themselves, and the interests involved are too wide and too deep.
Boom!
He kicked away the only surviving Chi Yanwei around him, and asked people to tie him up, and then ordered the whole army to set off and return to the pass.
"My lord, now that Chutian, this beast, has taken the lead in returning to the city, and has accused us of escaping from the battle, will we go back directly like this?" someone said worriedly.
This is a veteran, who is old, has seen too many shady scenes over the years, and his eyes are full of uneasiness and resentment.
Qin Yu shook his head, pointed to the group of captives behind him and said: "Take good care of them on the way back, they are all from the Phantom Sword Pavilion, record a few confessions, and pass them back first, the Phantom Sword Pavilion also has opponents, they will definitely seize the opportunity." ”
The man patted his head, his eyes lit up, and he immediately rushed to the captives excitedly, and saw that the captives were terrified.
Of course, they did regret coming to this world in the end. Veterans have been in the army for so long, there are too many means to make people speak, there are always a few people who can't get through, as long as one of them opens, then the rest will not be difficult.
Soon, several confessions were presented, allowing Qin Yu to look at them.
Qin Yu waved his hand and said, "There are some things, you are better than me, let it go, I don't believe that the Illusory Sword Pavilion can still cover the sky with one hand." ”
Now, he has long lost his previous innocence, compared to the Huotou Army, he is now too mature, and he actually has some handy feeling in handling things. What to do by himself, what to hand over, and who to do is appropriate, he knows it all clearly in his heart.
In order to spread the news more widely, Qin Yu deliberately let the team stay outside for two days before going back.
When they arrived outside the pass, the entire border pass was silent, and on the city wall, the cold bows and crossbows were brushed together, and there was already a thousand-man team waiting outside.
What Qin Yu didn't expect was that this thousand-person team was actually led by Lu Changchuan.
"Alas......" Lu Changchuan saw Qin Yu returning from a distance with a team of blood-stained men and horses, and he was both excited and helpless in his heart, he found that wherever this kid went, there was something wrong.
"The matter has spread in the city, and now the situation of the Phantom Sword Pavilion is very embarrassing, and I am sure that you have been framed, so I have to wronged you first. Lu Changchuan stepped forward alone and said to Qin Yu.
Qin Yu sneered, with the lesson from last time, he had expected this situation a long time ago, so he didn't say anything, waved his hand, and asked everyone to hand in their weapons.
Anyway, there are few things that can be used, and almost all of them are cut into scrap metal.
Just by handing over these weapons, the thousand-strong team waiting outside the gate caused a noise.
Although the Xuan Tie Guard is not equipped with a mysterious weapon, it is not much worse, and almost all of such good weapons have been cut into shape.
If such a team can be regarded as escaping, then what are the two hundred-person teams that have returned to the Guannai in almost the entire formation of the Phantom Sword Pavilion?
"Now, I'm afraid that the Phantom Sword Pavilion can't cover it with its hands and feet. Lu Changchuan looked at the pile of broken copper and iron and sneered, this time it was not as good as the last time.
This time, the incident affected all the authentic Xuan Tiewei, and most of them had a sect background.
There are a full eight hundred people, almost all the forces in the entire Linchuan County are involved, and even if the Phantom Sword Pavilion is the largest sect in Linchuan County, it is impossible to be an enemy of everyone.
"Don't worry, this time there are many big people on the way to the county town, all for this matter, and they will never reverse black and white like last time. Lu Changchuan patted Qin Yu's shoulder and said.
Qin Yu glanced at him, smiled and didn't speak. Lu Changchuan thought that he would be worried, but unfortunately now he has no expectations, it doesn't matter what the result is, he has already done what he should have done anyway.
There are some things that he can't change by himself, and he can't change them, and all he can do now is let the flood go to him.
This time, their treatment was relatively much better, after returning to the customs, except for not being able to carry weapons and leaving the border pass, there were no more restrictions, obviously this incident, the Phantom Sword Pavilion seemed to be a little powerless to deal with.
From the moment the remnants of the army returned to the pass, the entire Linchuan County seemed to be affected by a big net, countless news was passed quickly, and characters that were rarely seen in ordinary times appeared in front of people, and finally even the imperial capital sent people over.
In fact, things couldn't have come to this point, and even if Chu Tian led a thousand people to die outside the pass, it couldn't attract so much attention.
But the crux of the matter is that this time not only did the demon guards escape, but it was also likely that the boss abandoned the soldiers and fled for his life alone.
No matter which one it is, it has never happened since the establishment of the Demon Guard, not just Linchuan County, but the entire empire has never had such a scandal.
There is a clause in the supreme decree of the empire: "Those who defect to the enemy and commit treason, the family will be punished." ”
And the crime of the coach escaping from the battle is second only to this, although it is not a continuous punishment, but whether it is for a family or a sect, this is almost a fatal blow, a damage to the face, and a shame that can never be washed away.
Therefore, this time, the Phantom Sword Pavilion never let go, and it was determined that the eight hundred Xuan Tiewei did not listen to the order to escape, and Chu Tian fought alone, killing more than 100 enemies, and finally had no choice but to retreat.
In addition, the Phantom Sword Pavilion tried all means to get close to those captured Chutian personal guards, but unfortunately, these people were guarded by the major sects as soon as they were brought into the pass, and they were even tighter than the Shuai Mansion, so they couldn't get close at all.
Of course, the Phantom Sword Pavilion also thought of a way to win over these more than 100 Xuantie Guards who had escaped from nine deaths, and wanted to bribe a few people to commit perjury and mud.
The Phantom Sword Pavilion is rich and rich, and he thinks that the price he opens is naturally extremely high, and he will be tempted by a normal person.
It's a pity that these more than 100 people came back from 40,000 miles away, and they are no longer normal people, and the priceless treasure in their eyes before now looks like a rotten stone on the side of the road.
In the end, the Phantom Sword Pavilion not only failed to buy a person, but instead caused a commotion by itself, and its reputation, which was getting worse and worse, became even more unbearable.
Of course, it is impossible for the Phantom Sword Pavilion to stop here, the name of the first sect in Linchuan County is not called in vain, it is just the beginning at this time.
The major sects want to take advantage of this matter to suppress the Phantom Sword Pavilion, and the Phantom Sword Pavilion cannot be slaughtered by others, and no one will know what the result will be until the end.
At this time, the most idle person was Qin Yu, in addition to dealing with the officials who came to inquire about the case every day, he was practicing and meditating, or he was walking to the city to see the different scenery of the border pass.
Of course, he also had troubles, that is, the more than 100 Xuantie guards he brought back, and people came to annoy him almost every day. Hush Han asked for warmth, and even sent a lot of valuable pills, spirit grass, and his already exhausted reserve space was almost full.
If it's just like this, forget it, these people all have a sect background, so many good things don't take for nothing, anyway, he Qin Yu doesn't have such good conditions, it's rare to have a luxury.
But he always felt that these guys had bad intentions, and every time someone came, they were all respectful, and after sending something and saying a few words, he left with interest. But you can go, just go, when you go, you smirk at him when you go, with an expression that you understand, Qin Yu felt numb when he saw it.
In the end, someone finally said that the reason why everyone was like this was because they all learned about Qin Yu's various deeds through their own channels after coming back.
They originally admired Qin Yu extremely much, and that "adult" was absolutely from the bottom of their hearts.
Now he knew that Qin Yu was actually the one who led the Huotou Army to defend the county town before, and he suddenly went crazy one by one.
They naturally knew about the battle of the county town, and at that time, the whole army returned to defend for this reason, and they were the vanguard, but when they went back, they found that the county town was not lost and defended.
In the end, the news they got was that the elders of the Phantom Sword Pavilion led people to block the demon clan, and this time Chu Tian directly appointed President Qian, because of this merit.
But after coming back this time, everyone found that this was not the case at all.
What they knew was completely the official version, the most widely circulated in private, and the most reliable news was that Qin Yu led the Huotou army to fight to the death without retreating, and in the end, almost all the army was wiped out before defending the county seat, and no one had seen anyone from the Phantom Sword Pavilion during this period.
Moreover, they also got some secrets through their respective sects in the end, and then compared what the Phantom Sword Pavilion did this time, and Qin Yu's revenge with virtue and sacrificed their lives to save each other. In the end, which is true and which is false, everyone has a clear idea in their hearts.
The most important thing is that this time the establishment of the people was directly abolished, and in the end, no matter what the result of the verdict was, it was impossible for them to return to the original team, and they could only be incorporated into other thousand-person teams, or participate in the selection of the thousand-person team to join the new group again.
They are all veterans of many battles, and these levels are naturally difficult for them. But after this battle, everyone was a little cold.
Now that the demon guard is in the town, the forces are seriously involved, and even the appointment of the thousand general level does not rely entirely on prestige and strength, it is better than Chu Tian's appointment.
Putting their lives in the hands of such people is completely terrified.
If there is no other choice, it is just that, and the military naturally takes obedience to orders as their duty.
However, the selection they have now has been abolished, and everyone has to choose the team again, or re-participate in the selection.
The reason why they are so enthusiastic about running towards Qin Yu every day is entirely because they heard that Qin Yu's Huotou Army is actually amnesty for the whole army and does not listen to the dispatch, what kind of existence is this?
The most important thing is that the leader of this team is Qin Yu, and these two words alone are enough for them to have no hesitation.
