Rebirth Strategy: Please let me go

"Young Master, the rain is getting heavier and heavier. It may be difficult to find traces in the vast mountains." Hei Zhou looked at the black holes around him. Under such circumstances, it would be difficult for any external object to help.

"Since their horses can be tied here, it means that they have followed the wave of people. It is true that the surroundings are vast, but how can they open up wasteland in such a wilderness."

Gu Qingchen looked towards the towering mountain not far away: "There is no need to look for such a flat and wide place." He raised his hand and pointed to the mountain not far away with a smile as cold as the cold rain on this cold night: "Shameless rat They tend to be hidden underground.”

The dark rainy night was silent and eerie, with only the sound of rain and wind roaring in my ears, as if it was about to swallow everything.

If someone were to pass by a hole that was not obvious, they would just think it was a hole made by a mountain rat. However, Gu Qingchen knelt down to explore and then pierced the ground with a stern look on his face.

The movements were neat and sharp, and the sword was seven inches into the ground. When it was lifted, the tip of the sword was stained with blood.

The rain washed down, and blood dripped down the tip of the sword onto the muddy ground.

Gu Qingchen used his sword to pick out the corpse in the cave. It was a long worm covered in mottled colors.

"This is this?" Hei Zhou looked at the snake's body and looked around.

Gu Qingchen threw the long worm back into the hole, stood up and said in a deep voice: "Look, since the long worm that reported the news is nesting here, I think the rat hole is not too far away."

Gu Qingchen's eyes were like cold stars, and he looked around as if he had penetrated the thick black rain curtain and reached the "mouse" hidden cave.

In the dark cave, An Ruhe and his lieutenants were chained to the boulder by thick iron chains. An Ruhe looked pale as he covered his bleeding abdomen.

This time, he was careless and forgot that although these people were not as ferocious as the barbarians, they were still gangsters. The two of them followed them rashly and were poisoned by the group of people. Only then were they stabbed in four hands.

"General, does this smell like sulfur?" The deputy general moved suddenly in the darkness, and the iron chains rattled. He stood up with difficulty and sniffed into the air, and then said in horror: "It's sulfur. Where are these barren mountains?" Come brimstone.”

"Gunpowder can be made by adding sulfur, saltpeter, charcoal and other substances..." An Ruhe coughed weakly and raised his eyes sharply: "When I was at the tea shop, I felt that the guy had a murderous look on his face. It wasn't until I saw the tattoo on the opponent's hand that I confirmed that he was no ordinary bandit. As expected, this group of people was so bold, opened up such a place in the mountain, and even dared to secretly manufacture gunpowder..."

The deputy general looked at the cave door with wary eyes and stepped back to An Ruhe: "General, could this group of people be barbarian bandits?"

An Ruhe shook his head and coughed again: "I don't know."

The possibility of barbarians is very high, but it is not certain. After all, this place is only a thousand miles away from Kyoto. Although barbarians have the courage to sneak into the capital under the emperor's feet and hurt people with swords, they can never do such a big thing as privately manufacturing gunpowder weapons. It was held so close to Kyoto.

What's more, we have to open up such a big mountain...

"Government is achieved through bribery, and warts and carbuncles can be eliminated. Ants, rats, rats, and wolves have ambitions. Who in this dynasty is so bold that he dares to collude with the barbarians to commit... rebellion."

An Ruhe's eyes were filled with murderous intent, and he went through all the people who might be treasonous in his mind.

Everyone seems to have no reason to rebel, but upon closer inspection, everyone is suspicious.

Upon hearing this, the deputy general grabbed the iron chain tightly with his hands and tensed his body: "General, is there going to be another war? The war against the barbarians has been extinguished with great difficulty in the past ten years, but is it going to start again?"

"Cough cough cough..." An Ruhe coughed weakly in the darkness, and his voice was much lower: "It is said that the new Khan stepped on the corpse of his brother and father to ascend to the throne of Khan. How can such people be caged birds? The so-called surrender is just a temporary measure. The barbarians are unwilling to accept it. It will only be a matter of time before war breaks out again."

Smelling the smoke of gunpowder in the air, An Ruhe knew that this time the war might not drag on for eleven years...

But he would not have imagined that this battle would come earlier than he imagined, and that someone he had never expected would calm the war.

The stone door of the cave opened with a rumble, and two big men carrying knives stepped in with blood in their eyes.

The person at the door glanced at An Ruhe and the others: "Be more agile."

The big man with the knife chuckled. They were not good at anything, but killing was just a common occurrence for them. Killing two helpless people was not as simple as chopping melons and vegetables.

"Don't worry, they will definitely die painlessly."

The big man smiled and walked towards An Ruhe and the two men with the knife in his hand, the big knife in his hand glowing coldly.

The two of them had just taken a few steps when they suddenly heard a muffled "plop" behind them. They were frightened and turned around to see the person who had just come with them lying on the ground.

"Brother?" One of them called tentatively.

But the man who fell on the ground did not respond. The two of them knew that he had been on the run for many years, so they might be deceitful.

The two exchanged glances, and without saying a word, they turned around and raised their swords to take the lives of An Ruhe and his lieutenant. However, before the sharp blades could land, two flying needles as thin as ox hair pierced into their bodies with the force of breaking an army.

The two of them felt as if their acupoints had been stabbed in an instant. Their bodies froze in place. The long knife in their hands fell to the ground with a clatter, and they fell to the ground with wide eyes.

Before An Ruhe and the deputy general could react to the situation, they saw two people walking out from behind the stone gate. When they saw who was coming, An Ruhe was so frightened that he coughed.

The wound in his abdomen was already bleeding, but now he coughed up blood and the blood was flowing even more violently. Within two breaths, he fell to the ground and fainted due to excessive blood loss.

The deputy general panicked when he saw the man fainting. If the general had something wrong here, how could he have the face to survive in this world.

"Fourth Young Master! The general's abdominal injury must have caused excessive blood loss. He needs to stop the bleeding quickly. You cut off this chain, and I will carry the general out." The deputy general shouted to Gu Qingchen.

But Gu Qingchen, who should have made a move, stood there without any movement. Hidden in the darkness, he looked at the fainting person on the ground with only coldness and heartlessness in his eyes.

The scenery in front of him changed, and Gu Qingchen seemed to see the yellow sand in the sky again, and smelled the stench of burnt flesh in the air.

The wind in the frontier fortress made the military flags rustle, and when the smoke filled the air, Gu Qingchen saw the man wearing armor and holding a long sword pierce the girl's small body with a knife.

A mouthful of her blood dyed the man's red cloak dancing in the wind, and also dyed Gu Qingchen's eyes red.

It was obvious that he could save her, and he could obviously avoid killing her. Even though the barbarian put his knife on the girl's neck and threatened her life, how could he let the innocent people die together with the barbarians because of the barbarians' arrogance.

Gu Qingchen's hand holding the sword trembled slightly, and the long sword in his hand seemed to feel the strong evil aura and made a hungry buzzing sound, as if to encourage the young man to raise the sword and pierce the heart of the person on the ground to avenge the girl who died in vain.
