Chapter 19: Heading South
Not only were the Kongsang Mountains of Jianzhou exposed to the scorching sun, but the scorching summer sun also scorched the vast grasslands north of Jincheng Pass, giving off an unpleasant stench of the fields covered with the corpses of the Black Di people, and feasting the mouths of jackals and vultures.
Li Chengde's bald head was full of oil, and even the ugly jaundice looked extremely dazzling as if it was shining brightly.
He raised his leg and stepped over the corpse of a gray-haired old man in the twilight, and when he looked at it roughly, most of the dead people everywhere were old, weak, sick and disabled.
A long bow was planted in the center of the camp of this small tribe of Heidi, and because there was no wind, the white falcon flag hanging on the top of the long bow hung down a little weakly.
Originally, the masters of the Jincheng Xiao Cavalry Guard went out, and they never liked to bring this prestigious banner, and it was too bad for the people to hate, and they couldn't make themselves uncomfortable, right?
However, in today's grassland, there is no shadow of the original few big tribes at all, not to mention the wolf cubs of the Black Di army and even the Golden Wolf Army, but since the day of the fight, a hundred brothers fought with their lives not to lead away most of the pursuers with a white falcon flag, and many white falcons have a habit of carrying a flag with them.
This is actually against military law, but even Captain Gan, who is known for his strict management of the army, turned a blind eye to this and did not see it at all.
Not to mention, the remnants of the Heidi tribe on the nearby grassland saw this flag, even if the number of falcons under the banner was small, it was really terrifying. The ferocity is second only to the black crow flag that no one has ever seen but has already coaxed the grassland, if the Shuofang black crow also has such a thing as a guard flag.
"Grandma's, those black skins just came to Jinchengguan for a walk, and less than two hundred people died, so they took away the biggest military feat in this battle, and then immediately patted their butts and went to Beijing to enjoy the blessings, but we have to be tired and tired to hunt down these old and weak people who can't run and don't have any oil and water, think about it, it's called Lao Tzu's nest fire!"
A white falcon was wiping the blood stains on the knife with the clothes of a dead man, and when he heard the words, he stood up and said with a smile: "I saw that the hundred horsemen killed the most fierce just now, and they insisted on robbing me with their identities, and they did their jobs more happily than anyone else, I see that you are not a nest fire, but a red eye, right?"
The nearby white falcon immediately burst into laughter, suppressing the painful moans that were not sounding in the camp~ groaning and the screams before dying.
In the past, no one was willing to do this kind of dirty work, but everyone vowed to kill enough 100 black Di people before they died, so naturally they didn't have to say anything, they just hurried day and night, killed, and exterminated the clan, and then hurried, killed, and exterminated, and the cycle began again and again, until there was no way to kill.
After killing for more than half a month, Li Chengde was the first to kill enough, and went to hand in a bag of human ears, who wanted Bai Zuowei not to raise his eyelids, but just said lightly: "You take a hundred people, kill them again, only remember the young and strong men, and the rest are not counted." ”
Li Chengde, who was inexplicably promoted to the commander of the hundred cavalry, stood in place for a long time, without the slightest joy, but rarely wet his eyes.
He knew that if it weren't for the death of too many elite comrades like Zhang Baiqi and Wang Cripple, it would never be his turn to be the captain of Baiqi with a famous hob like Li Lezi.
The white falcon beside him said it well, Li Chengde was really red-eyed at this moment, not only red-eyed, but also red-eyed, but only without half a complaint.
He recalled the tone and expression of Bai Zuowei at that time, and secretly said that since Lord Zuowei became the Inspiration Grandmaster, he also changed his name to Bai Hangu, not only confirmed the rumors of his previous family, but also faintly fought against Captain Gan, and even an official hat of the same weight as a hundred cavalry commanders could be decided in one word.
Thinking of the dark tide surging in the guard these days, especially the strange gaze cast by those comrades in the right battalion, Li Chengde felt some unspeakable irritability and worry in his heart.
He smiled and scolded without a trace: "Just you kid talk a lot! I see that everyone who can escape on this grassland has escaped, and those who are lucky or unable to escape are almost killed, it's time to go back and rest and let the brothers take a breath, Lord Zuo naturally has me there." ”
As soon as these words came out, the falcons immediately laughed and became a little silent.
Or did he dare to speak out against the official when he was a long time, and now he has become a celebrity in front of Lord Zuo Wei, Li Chengde can naturally withstand Bai Hangu's anger, but when he goes back at this time, no one is stupid, he is only afraid of resting and falling second, hehe, shouldn't he make a special trip to give Lord Zuo a strong voice, right?
To tell the truth, the half-step inspired Bai Zuowei was the icing on the cake for the Xiao cavalry guard, and now he has become a grandmaster, looking at it is a complete comparison with other unconvinced battalion heads, but it is a blazing fire, both hot and dangerous, after all, this mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, right?
It seems that this Ansheng son who is in a hurry, killing, and exterminating the clan is afraid that it will come to an end.
Almost at the same time, in the eyes of the white falcons, the two characters who were about to start a battle between the open and the dark, Ganjiuquan and Bai Hangu were standing side by side at the head of Jincheng Pass, looking at the city together.
A special team is slowly entering the city from the north gate, nearly a thousand horsemen, not the big surrounding army, not even the Heidi people, but the extremely rare Rong people in the northern four states, at least most of them are, because the Rong people are still white, most of them wear white linen robes, and the hairstyles and costumes are different from the Zhou people, which attracts many soldiers at the head of the city to wait and see.
The leader did not rush into the city, but stood in the distance in front of the city gate.
This person is a white and pure young man, with a wide forehead, very light eyebrows, and a slender body, and he looks extremely tall surrounded by most of the five big and three thick Rong people.
In particular, he was dressed as a Zhou person, wearing a white linen robe in the style of a Zhou person, and wearing a wooden crown on his head that scholars were accustomed to.
The gaze of Ganjiuquan and Bai Hangu did not linger too much on this young man, and seemed to be more interested in the neck of the war horse that the young man was riding. There is a weapon pouch hanging on the left and right, and the inside is not visible, only a pair of dark green handles are exposed.
"Axe, and a short-handled hand axe that is not suitable for horse fighting?"
Bai Hangu pursed his thin lips, which looked a little cold, and the pair of deep cold eyes under the two willow eyebrows revealed some doubts: "Since this person claims to be a descendant of the former Dunhuang god general Ge Shu Lintai, why didn't he use the Big Dipper Seven Star Knife?"
"The Big Dipper is high, and Geshu carries a knife at night. Rampant Qinghai head, raise your hand to take the purple robe. In order to seal the marquis, Geshu Lintai slaughtered too much, and there were countless enemies, and his descendants did not use the Big Dipper Seven Star Knife to avoid disaster. You were born in the Hangu Bai clan, which is famous for "Slash and Knife Farming", didn't you also switch to guns?"
Ganjiuquan looked at the narrow shoulders and long arms, lean and capable, and he was ruthless when he spoke, which could be said to be pointing directly at Bai Hangu's sore spot, but his tone was flat, and he couldn't hear the slightest hint of ridicule.
He changed his words, and said with some admiration: "The body is purple and red, but the mane and tail are black, and they are such a divine horse, they are the legendary xenomorph god horse Ziyanliu?
Bai Hangu was stunned for a moment, and then glanced down, only to be sure that Ganjiuquan was talking about the war horse under the crotch of the young man in the city.
He only cared about sensing the other party's two hand axes that faintly emitted evil energy, but he didn't expect Ganjiuquan to really look at the horse, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "The Geshu clan that the Rong people feared like tigers in the past now wants to rely on Rong to win wealth and wealth, the world is like this, how can I, the Hangu Bai clan, be exempt from vulgarity?"
Gan Jiuquan seemed to think of something when he heard this, shook his head and said: "That black crow captain is not an ordinary person, and now with this horse bandit leader who claims to be surnamed Ge Shu, he even dares to rob the Helan king's tent while there is a mess on the grassland. ”
Bai Hangu turned around and walked towards the city, and said in a firm tone: "I have a reason why I have to go, I will take the twenty-seven horsemen who followed me in the bloody battle. ”
Gan Jiuquan said with a smile: "The people who were collected and rescued by the Zuo Battalion later should also be taken away, the full fight is only two hundred horses, I can still afford this little blood, you know my temper, I look down on the greedy and fearful of death and the incompetent people, if they stay, they will not live long." ”
Bai Hangu was stunned: "Who wants to form this good fate? Shen Tu, Cao Gong, or Murong behind you?"
There were countless thoughts in his heart, and he suddenly remembered the girl in green clothes with a sword beside the black crow captain that day. No one knew that almost one after the other of the edict came to the letter of the girl, and at the end of it was even stamped with the seal of the Son of Heaven!
Ganjiuquan waved his hand: "It will be known in the future." ”
Bai Hangu looked to the south, smiled, and walked away with his legs raised.
(I was rewarded, and when I saw it, I really had a new friend who didn't know the truth into the pit, so ashamed, but I still thank Hengduan Jiangchuan Daoyou!)
