When the battle was over and the aftermath dissipated, the remaining officials cautiously walked into the courtyard with their hearts pounding in horror.

These people first saw Gao Aduo's corpse, this man who had previously brought them the fear of death was now piled up in the corner of the wall like a puddle of rotten meat, how could there be the majesty of the previous god to block the killing god, Tang Zhong's hammer had shattered the bones of his body.

On the courtyard wall behind him, cracks spread out like spider webs, the wall was crumbling, and the foothold under Tang Zhong's feet was also shattered by bluestone, but it was inadvertently shattered by Tang Zhong's strength, and the entire courtyard was in a mess, as if a hurricane was passing through.

These people are all secretly talking to themselves, they have never seen a real master fighting to the death before, and they are all a little frightened when they see this scene.

When they saw Teng Ji's corpse, the officials couldn't believe it at first, but after they walked in and saw it clearly, they all showed sad faces, and many of them had been taught by the old team leader since the first day they became officials, and their feelings were very deep.

Before Teng Ji stayed alone and asked them to find Tang Zhong, these people had a hunch that the old team leader might not be able to escape this catastrophe. But that's what they thought in their hearts, and when they actually saw it, they still couldn't accept the facts in front of them. Some people couldn't help but cry, hating themselves for being too weak, leaving the old team leader alone to deal with that evil star.

Tang Zhong watched this scene from the sidelines, and sighed in his heart, after this battle, the force in the county government can be said to have been abolished by half. Not to mention the dead, those who survived are afraid that they are also scared.

Although these people have lived on the border for so long, because the Joyama Army has protected them so well, many of them have never seen much blood, and when they really encounter a critical moment, they are all blind.

He still had some doubts in his heart at this time, and on the surface, this matter had been resolved, but he always felt as if he had missed something. Thinking about it carefully, he saw from the wound of Teng Dashan's corpse that although the murderer used a knife, the inside was the path of the Gale Secret Sword, but the person he hammered to kill just now used the knife technique from beginning to end, and what was exposed at the moment of life and death was far more real than usual.

He can be sure that this person does not know swordsmanship, so who the murderer is, he can say.

Tang Zhong was not right, this point was definitely a big flaw in the eyes of a discerning person. But Gao Aduo was also very aggrieved in his heart, and he also knew that he should cover up his martial arts path, but the pressure Tang Zhong brought him was too great, and his moves at the moment of life and death were purely based on the instinct cultivated by more than twenty years of sword practice, which could not be covered up in any way. If it were a different person, Gao Aduo would definitely find a way to make the illusion that he would know the Gale Secret Sword.

Tang Zhong didn't tell anyone else about these analyses, he could see that this matter was getting more and more secretive, and it was impossible to expect them to continue to investigate.

Fortunately, he had already informed the Joyama Army of Teng Dashan's death, and it was estimated that soon, the military masters would arrive.

......

So many people died at once, and the news couldn't be concealed at all.

It didn't take long for Xiao Yan, who was waiting for Teng Ji to report back in the county office, to learn the result of the arrest of the murderer, but this was too far from what he imagined. He looked at the servant kneeling in front of him, his face covered with cold sweat, trembling like chaff, and his eyes were cold as if he was about to shoot a sword:

“...... Teng Ji died, and more than half of the servants he brought with him were killed or wounded, bastard, he was simply a bastard!" His heart ached angrily, wishing that he was dreaming, and when he woke up, everything was clear again, but unfortunately this was just his fantasy.

A few minutes later, the official withdrew from Xiao Yan's room with an expression of escape, at this time, his clothes inside and outside were all soaked, not that the official had the luck to see the county lieutenant thunder and rage.

In the room, Xiao Yan pressed his forehead with his fingers, feeling like his head was about to explode. If he knew that things would develop to this point, he would not let Teng Ji take people there. But it's too late to think about it now.

With so many people dead, the year-end bonus is gone, and there is no need to think about promotions and salary increases! He still has to think about how to deal with the aftermath, and the missing officials need to be filled as soon as possible, and the team leader must choose another one.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help sighing, he had been a county lieutenant in Xinfeng County for nearly ten years, Teng Ji had always been his subordinate, he thought that this old guy would work until the day when he couldn't walk, but he never thought that he would go so suddenly.

......

Gao Aduo has been ambushed as a murderer, and the other Hun merchants locked up in the cell have also been released, including Helian Bobo.

When he came home alone, he first comforted his wife and young daughter, who had been frightened for the past two days, and his wife was described as much haggard.

Late at night, he sat alone in the middle of the courtyard, took out a bag of mare's milk wine, which had been treasured for many years, and set two cups on the table. When it was all filled, he drank down one glass of wine in front of him, and the other slowly poured into the clearing in front of him.

"Brother, go all the way......"

Gao Aduo is naturally not the murderer of Teng Dashan, the reason why he did not deny it when the official rushed into the door was precisely to exonerate Helian Bobo.

As for how the Xiongnu side convinced the officials of Xinfeng County that he was the murderer, even Helian Bobo did not know. He only knows that there are many people behind all this who are working for it.

Most of the information about Gao Aduo obtained by the officials of Great Chu was true, but there were discrepancies in some details.

He is indeed a member of the Hun Golden Wolf Guard, and he also had an affair with a noble concubine, but the truth is that this woman and Gao Aduo are childhood sweethearts. But that girl was taken by a nobleman who happened to pass by, and forced her to go over and take her as a concubine.

In the face of power, love seems so fragile and vulnerable. Gao Aduo could only hide to the side, watching his beloved lover lying on someone else's bed, even though his heart was like a knife, he couldn't do anything.

But soon, the nobleman died from an accidental fall from his horse. Gao Aduo was overjoyed, and the two lovers naturally rekindled their old love, but there was no impermeable wall in this world, and their private affairs were soon discovered.

According to the rules of the grassland, Gao Aduo was originally going to be trampled to death by the horses. But the high priest rescued him and sent him to Dachu with Helian Bobo, so that he could make meritorious contributions.

Helian Bobo has never met Gao Aduo in the years he has been lurking in Youzhou, he only knows that there is such a person around him. It wasn't until this time that he was facing the crisis of exposure, and he asked someone to send a letter to Gao Aduo.

The letter is blank.

But both of them understood that it was time for Gao Aduo to sacrifice. The high priest asked him to come to Dachu together for today!

Since he has been released from prison safely, it means that Gao Aduo is dead. Although the two didn't know each other seriously and didn't even say a word, his mood at this time was still very complicated, and there was an unspeakable sadness in his heart.

He drank glass after glass of wine, the liquid running down the corners of his mouth, and before it could condense into ice under the biting cold, he mixed it with his sleeve. He also didn't have the power to use the true qi in his body to dissolve the power of alcohol, he just wanted to get drunk!

At this moment, he no longer looks like a scheming businessman, but has turned back into a Hun man who has gone through all kinds of ups and downs, which is his true colors.

Helian Bobo suddenly felt a little excited, and he didn't know if it made sense for him to leave his hometown and lurk in a strange place full of enemies for more than ten years.

Hardship and loneliness are secondary, and he can bear it, but if he sacrifices so much, and in the end the Huns still moan helplessly under the iron hooves of Da Chu like an ignorant little girl, he doesn't know what to say.

In fact, the longer he stayed in Da Chu, the more fear he felt in his heart.

Da Chu is too strong!

This strength is not reflected in a certain aspect, but in all fields it is far stronger than the Huns. Even the cavalry, which the Xiongnu were proud of in the past and boasted of being invincible in the world, is now catching up with the support of Emperor Chu's huge military spending year after year. And although his side is also desperately speeding up, no matter how much a rabbit runs, it is impossible to catch up with the eagle soaring in the sky.

He recalled that the high priest had called him to his tent, and that it was the time when the "black hairy wind" was raging on the grassland.

The high priest was already very old, his somewhat cloudy eyes hid tiredness that could not be concealed, his old face was full of traces of wind and frost and time, and his body of more than five feet was a little rickety. But such an old man who looks like he is in his last years and will die at any time, but he is one of the most famous grandmasters in the world, and his prestige is so high that the Huns don't think about it. Even if Da Dan Yu came to him, he could only obediently bow his arrogant head.

But this is not because of the force of the high priest, but because this old man has been fighting for his people all his life, and he will not rest until death!

When he walked into the tent when he was still very young, he was full of excitement and trepidation, and when he saw the high priest, he knelt down and wanted to kiss his shoes, but was stopped by the old man and helped him up with both hands. After the high priest said the task he was going to give him, he didn't even hesitate and agreed directly.

I don't remember exactly what I thought at the time, but the only thing I remember clearly was the high priest's tattered shoes, and the toes that peeked out of them, covered with dirt and grass clippings.

He knew that the high priest must have traveled for a long time before he saw him, and he didn't know how many herdsmen he had saved who were lost in the black-haired wind. For so many years, the high priest has been like this, relying on a pair of feet to walk all over every corner of the grassland, rain or shine.

When he was about to leave, the high priest handed him a wolf tooth and didn't say anything, but the Huns were the descendants of wolves, and he naturally understood what was behind this wolf tooth.

The wolf tooth had been kept by him until now, and he had not removed it when he slept. Over the years, the surface of the wolf's teeth has become jade-like, and the original sharp edges and corners have also been rounded by friction.

Helian Bobo, who had drunk all the bags full of wine, was finally a little drunk, he opened his hazy drunken eyes, held the wolf tooth in his right hand, and seemed to see the dead high priest in a trance, he was a little stunned, stretched out his hand to touch the old man again, and told him how tired he was after so many years, but where could he touch it.

When he woke up, at this moment, he cried like a child......
