I started as an exile, and I relied on space to support my family of loyal heroes.

"As for the Wu Ma family..." The military advisor frowned slightly.

"The Wu Ma family brought too many assassins with them. If we really fight, our chances of winning are slim."

The Wu Ma family is not comparable to that idiot Shi Qiang. The family has a deep foundation and countless loyal warriors.

Unless it was absolutely necessary, they didn't want to offend the Wu Ma family.

But now the Wu Ma family has joined forces with Shi Qiang and is ready to kill them, so they will have no choice but to fight to the death.

Cong Chongqiu also had a headache when he thought of the assassins of the Wu Ma family.

"Go and find out first whether the old patriarch of the Wu Ma family will go to Shi Qiang's tent for dinner today."

"If the old patriarch does not want to go, you should have someone tell Shi Qiang that this general cannot go alone without the old patriarch..."

If the old patriarch went to Shi Qiang's tent, he would be sure to deal with everyone in the tent at once.

When the time comes, just throw all the dirty water on Shi Qiang.

He believed that with the old patriarch's cautious and suspicious nature, he would not tell those assassins what he had discussed with Shi Qiang.

After Cong Chongqiu watched the military advisor leave, he thought about it carefully and immediately called his trusted subordinates. After the group discussed in the tent for half an hour, they left in different time periods.

Not long after his trusted subordinate left, the military advisor returned to the camp.

"The old patriarch will also be there tonight."

"However, judging from Shi Qiang's expression, the old patriarch probably didn't want to go."

"Ha!" Cong Chongqiu curled his lips and sneered, "You want to catch the cicada while the oriole is behind? It's impossible."

"Watch out. Wait for the old patriarch to go first, and then I'll go."

"...Okay." The military advisor nodded. "Who are you going to take with you, General?"

It would be no problem for the general to take down Shi Qiang and the old patriarch alone.

But the assassins of the Wu Ma family are not easy to deal with.

The Wu Ma family is good at divination, hypnosis and medicine.

It’s just that the Wu Ma family had long since declined, and the recent generations haven’t even inherited a little bit of the abilities of their ancestors.

The art of divination was even more of a mess. In a hundred years, there was only one talented person like Wu Ma Chaofu, but he died in an unclear manner.

It was for this reason that the old patriarch of the Wu Ma family chased all the way to Xinyue City, vowing to catch the person who murdered Wu Ma Chaofu.

Wuma Chaofu was the hope of the Wuma family. He was destroyed just like that. It would be strange if the Wuma family was not furious.

If Wu Ma Chaofu were still alive, he and Cong Chongqiu would still be somewhat wary, worried about what Wu Ma Chaofu would figure out.

But now that Wu Ma Chaofu was dead, the old patriarch could only show off his power by relying on his status and his loyal followers. They did not take the old patriarch seriously at all.

The decline of the Wu Ma family was a foregone conclusion, so he did not object when Cong Chongqiu wanted to attack everyone in the Wu Ma family together.

They guard the border diligently, and even if they have no credit, they have worked hard.

Unexpectedly, the old patriarch teamed up with Shi Qiang to deal with them just because of a few specious letters.

It’s heartbreaking. It’s really heartbreaking.

"Don't worry, Advisor. I have already summoned all the best fighters in the army."

Cong Chongqiu is not the type of person who would passively take a beating. He is responsible for the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers in the army. How could he allow Shi Qiang and the old patriarch to attack him?

He was not afraid of death, and eighteen years later he was a brave man again. But if he died, those soldiers who had followed him for more than ten years would not have an easy life either.

He can endure hardship and die, but his brothers who have been through thick and thin with him cannot die.

If Shi Qiang hadn't gone too far, he wouldn't have fought back in anger.

Cong Chongqiu glanced at the sky outside the tent, took a deep breath, looked at the military advisor and said,

"Military advisor, you don't have to go with me at night. You... stay far away and don't let Shi Qiang and the Wu Ma family catch you."

"Also, tell the brothers to hide in their tents at night and not to come out if they hear any noise."

"Tell them to hold their weapons. If anyone rushes into the camp, no matter if they are from Shi Qiang or the Wu Ma family, they will all be killed without mercy!"

Cong Chongqiu had no intention of letting ordinary soldiers go on the adventure with him.

For ordinary soldiers, it is no different from offering their heads in front of the Wu Ma family's death squad.

The soldiers only need to stay in the tents and protect their lives.

The number of people under his command who could fight against the death squad was no more than a thousand.

He had already given orders to these thousand men to form groups of five and surround one of the assassins.

The old patriarch only brought more than a hundred death warriors. With a thousand people against more than a hundred people, plus a tactical siege, it is not impossible for them to win.

Of course, this is the worst possible outcome.

If he had captured the old patriarch directly and let the old patriarch order the death squad to stop, a fierce battle could have been avoided.

Cong Chongqiu narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking about how to kill Shi Qiang in one fell swoop and capture the old patriarch at the same time.

"......General!" The military advisor's eyes were filled with tears, and his voice was slightly choked with sobs. "I will make arrangements."

"General, be careful. This is the antidote pill I asked for from the miracle doctor."

The military advisor took out a small medicine bottle from his bosom and poured out a pill from it.

"General, if you take this medicine, it will help you resist some of the poison."

The people of the Wu Ma family are good at some medical skills. Even if the old patriarch is a waste, he has all kinds of poisons in his hands.

This antidote pill came to him by chance when he found a miracle doctor who saved his life. The doctor didn't want to owe him a favor, so he said he would help him save another person.

There wasn't anyone who needed the miracle doctor's help at the time, so he thought of using him later.

However, the whereabouts of the miracle doctor were elusive, and the empress had to post imperial edicts everywhere if she wanted to find him, so it was even more difficult for him to find him.

So he went to the miracle doctor to ask for the antidote pill, thinking that if the general had any other injuries, the military doctors would be able to treat them easily, but if he was poisoned, it would be more difficult to treat.

He has been carrying this detoxification pill with him for more than a year, and it finally came in handy.

".....good."

Cong Chongqiu looked at the military advisor's worried expression, took the antidote pill without hesitation, and swallowed it in one gulp.

Anyone can harm him except the military advisor.

If the military advisor wanted to harm him, then it must be someone impersonating the military advisor.

He and the military advisor have been together for decades, and they can be said to be each other's right-hand men and women, and neither can live without the other.

If he didn't take the antidote pill, the military advisor would definitely not let him attend the banquet.

The Wu Ma family said nicely that they were good at divination, medicine, hypnosis, and that they could produce talented national masters, but in fact, they only used some low-class methods and sinister schemes.

The Wu Ma family has been elevated by the royal family of Xiliang for too long. They have lost sight of their own status and position. It is ridiculous that they dare to interfere in military affairs.

For a mere Wu Ma Chaofu, tens of thousands of his brothers lost their lives. The Wu Ma family deserves to die!

The empress gave face to the Wu Ma family and praised the Wu Ma family everywhere, but he didn't want to give the Wu Ma family this face...
