Law of the Devil

It turned out that Muse was sent away by Du Wei far away, and arranged a mission to patrol around the battlefield with the cavalry.

Long before the final annihilation of the infantry of the Northwest Army, Du Wei had already made up his mind not to participate in this battle, but arranged for thousands of cavalry to patrol around this area to prevent some deserters from scattering after the war.

The status of Muse is different. Although Du Wei brought this guy to the battlefield, how could he really let Muse go to battle? It would be much safer to give him this job. Thousands of cavalry were scattered into countless small teams to patrol around, and Muse was appointed as a ten-man cavalry commander to lead ten cavalry in charge of a designated area—of course, under Du Wei's arrangement, Muse was appointed The area that the team is in charge of is extremely far from the battlefield.

Originally, Muse was assigned such a painless job, so she was naturally very unconvinced. But Du Wei is the commander-in-chief, and if the military order is suppressed, he can't do it if he doesn't listen. Moreover, he has been frightened by Du Wei's rectification for a long time, so how dare he go to Du Wei to argue?

The sullen Muse took the ten cavalry under his command to patrol along the northeast direction of the battlefield, and ran outside for two days without finding anything. At that time, the final battle of annihilation was drawing to a close, but Muse was patrolling thirty miles away from the battlefield.

Just the evening before. Frustrated, Muse led his men to rest by a forest in the northeast. Bored, Muse tied the horse to the tree, and took a piece of dogtail grass in his mouth, lazily leaning against the tree. Resting on the tree trunk, he cursed Du Wei's eccentricity in his heart, pitied himself for his ambition, finally encountered such a big battle, and only hoped to show his talent in this war. Standing out, but being assigned to this ghostly place...

I'm afraid it's also destiny, luck has come. Can't stop it.

Although Muse was angry in his heart, he still acted like a captain in front of the ten cavalrymen under him. After resting for a while, and having enough horsepower, he ordered his men to enter the forest and search around for a while...

When this command is issued. I swear to the Almighty Goddess, the Muse never expected to gain anything.

Hell... The battle ended two days ago, and I ran to this ghost place, let alone caught any deserters from the Northwest Army, and there was not even a ghost along the way.

But after entering the woods, I searched for a while. The two experienced cavalrymen under him suddenly reported that they found traces of horseshoes ahead!

This news immediately excited Muse—could it be a deserter from the Northwest Army? Anyway, this damn mission is almost over. Although I don't like it, I have to gain something to go back anyway so that I can save face. Otherwise, he will lead the troops to the battlefield. Just go back empty-handed. I'm afraid that abominable Duke Tulip is going to mock himself again!

Muse cheered up immediately. He led people all the way and quickly chased him up.

Walked to the end of the forest, but saw a small stream here. In this place in the northwest, any place with a source of water is very precious. After careful identification, Muse's men confirmed that someone had indeed passed along the bank of the stream. And judging from the traces of the horseshoes, an experienced cavalryman under him concluded that the opponent's horse seemed to be exhausted, and it didn't go far!

At this time, Muse had an extra mind, first ordered half of the people to go around quickly from one side to the front to intercept, and then led the remaining five people to chase carefully.

Finally, the sky paid off, and in the evening, Muse finally caught up with the target.

The cavalry under his command had all been trained as scouts, and after approaching the target cautiously and quietly, they determined the opponent's position.

It seems that the target of the pursuit should be very tired. Muse and his party slowly climbed over a high slope, and saw someone resting on the downstream bank of the creek. What made Muse even more excited was that the opponent's horse was already dead! !

With the light of the evening sunset, Muse immediately recognized that the saddle style of the opponent's horse was the standard style of the Northwest Army, and that poor war horse seemed to be exhausted after running all the way, kneeling on the ground. The ground seemed to be immobile.

On the edge of the creek, there were two people, one of them was half lying on the ground, as if he had been injured, the other took off his helmet, used his helmet to hold water in the creek, and then ran back and knelt on the side of the creek. Next to the person lying on the ground, feed him water.

Both of them were wearing armor, which was obviously in the style of the Northwest Army!

After confirming the other party's identity, Muse's heart suddenly became warm.

He was about to draw his sword and jump out, but was immediately caught by his cavalry. An experienced cavalryman had served as a scout and was very experienced in this kind of reconnaissance and observation of the enemy. He quietly told Muse that he recognized that the two were not only the Northwest Army, but also from the armor worn by the other party, I am afraid that they were of the same rank. Quite not low!

The guy kneeling on the ground with his helmet in his hand was wearing armor that would only be worn by the captains of the guards or high-ranking guards around senior generals, and the guy lying on the ground who looked injured was even more terrible. The armor on his body is obviously a senior officer.

At least a guy above the level of a leader! If I'm wrong, I'm willing to cut off my own head! The scout cavalry told Muse sternly.

Muse immediately sank.

Although he is eager to make contributions, he is not reckless after all. After calculating the power comparison between the enemy and ourselves, he immediately came up with a very clever comparison result: the enemy is strong and we are weak!

Those who can serve as personal bodyguards or personal captains of senior officers, generally speaking, have the strength of a warrior of the third or fourth rank! And the guy lying on the ground, since he is a high-ranking officer, and he is at the commanding level... I am afraid his strength is even stronger.

powerful. Then there was a faint light, and Muse could barely see the knight badge worn on the chest of the family. Although I can't see the level clearly, what is certain is that the level is definitely not low!

A third- and fourth-level knight, plus a middle-level and above knight (even if injured). As for Muse himself, his own strength is at most three levels, probably not yet. And a few cavalrymen under his command. Just ordinary cavalry. If fight. He rushed forward rashly with five ordinary soldiers. Don't talk about arresting people. I'm afraid that these people will be killed by the other party in a moment!

Turn around and find reinforcements? It was too late. .

While worrying, Muse's eyes suddenly fell on the stream next to her. Got an idea right away.

As the sky gradually darkened, Muse took out two small bottles from his arms, and then asked one of his cavalry to walk back for a while. Put something in the bottle. All poured into the stream.

Flow with the stream. Muse looked nervously at the two downstream targets, praying inwardly.

Perhaps his prayers really had an effect. The person lying on the ground. As if he said something in a low voice, which seemed to indicate that he still wanted to drink water, the guard immediately ran back to the edge of the stream. He filled his helmet with water and came back.

have to say. It's Muse luck. Because what he poured into the playing water is a magic potion-this thing is not his. But before the Muse departs. His sister Mrs. Lister gave him land. The potion was originally just a painkiller. A small amount of use can relieve pain. Originally Mrs. Lister gave the Muse these drugs. It is the fear that the Muse will be injured on the battlefield.

Can this drug. In case of overdose. It will make people faint. Even short-term loss of sensation in limbs.

Two bottles of medicine were poured into the stream, but the timing was just right! If only the guy had filled the water earlier. The medicine hadn't flowed down the creek yet. If the water is filled later, the medicine will be washed downstream by the stream.

From this point of view... we have to say that Guhuatuoluo's life was bad.

Poor Guhuaduoluo, he was so angry that Du Wei vomited blood before, and then he was injured in the battle. After being knocked unconscious by his loyal guards and escaped, he knew that the situation was over, and he had no more thoughts in his mind.

Fleeing here at this moment, the injuries on his body flared up. He was especially thirsty after the injury. He drank a helmet full of water in one gulp, and suddenly felt his body gradually become stiff and numb. When he was about to say something, he felt his tongue was numb. Then straighten your neck. With a bang, it fell backwards.

His guard was taken aback. Just as I was about to pick up Guhuatuoluo, I heard the woods behind me. There was a screaming voice: Catch it!!

Then I saw several figures jumping out of the woods. Looking at the clothes, it was the cavalry of the Tulip family. Guhuaduoluo's bodyguard was heartbroken, and he raised his sword and came up to fight.

This guy has a mortal determination in his heart, vowing to defend Guhuaduoluo to the death, recruiting desperately.

In the end, they only met each other a few times, and Muse and five subordinates couldn't deal with each other! Instead, this guy chopped down two subordinates with two swords. Fortunately, they were only wounded and not killed.

Seeing the opponent's momentum like a mad tiger, Muse was almost hit by the opponent's sword, and suddenly saw Guhuatuoluo on the ground, and with a thought, he had an idea, took two steps back, and shouted loudly: Don't care about this! Guy! The one on the ground can’t move, hack the one on the ground to death first!!”

As he spoke, he struck first, stabbing at Guhuaduoluo on the ground with one sword at a time. Where is this guard willing to let his master be killed? Naturally, he tried his best to stop it.

But he had to fight, protect himself, and Gu Huatuoluo on the ground by himself, so naturally he couldn't take care of him. Muse, I'm afraid that he has been in the northwest for a long time, and he has been contaminated with Du Wei's insidious and cunning, so he took advantage of the swarming efforts of his men to assassinate Guhuaduoluo, and spotted this loyal guard who is desperate. Resisting with a sword, he saw the opportunity and stabbed the guard with several swords. In the end, the guard let out an unwilling roar before finally falling down.

Muse breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly asked someone to take out the rope, tied both of them up, and then carefully inspected the two captives. After a look, they were really obedient!

Although Guhuaduoluo has been paralyzed all over his body and can't speak, his attire looks like that of a senior general in the Northwest Army!

Muse searched Guhuatuoluo's body again with his own hands, and finally found Guhuaduoluo's personal items, which had Guhuatuoluo's name on it.

Hahahaha... Du Wei, Du Wei! Tell you to underestimate me! This time, I will make a great contribution to show you!! Muse laughed with her hands on her hips.

Guhuaduoluo was caught by Muse as early as when. He was so angry that he passed out directly. I don't know how long it took, but when he woke up slowly, he found himself in a secret room. Surrounded by thick walls, there is no light.

Open your hands, with both wrists against the wall. Manacled and nailed to the wall. The feet are also tied with iron chains. Naturally, the armor on his body was long gone, and his mind was a little dizzy.

Fortunately, this room. There is a brazier in the middle. It's not too cold on the body.

Guhuaduoluo moved his tongue slightly, and a numb core was stuffed in his mouth, knowing that the other party was afraid of committing suicide by biting his tongue. So plugged his mouth.

He took a deep breath, and found that his fighting spirit could not be lifted at all, and his whole body was weak. There is no strength at all.

Guhuaduoluo secretly sighed in his heart. Simply do not make any effort. Anyway, nothing matters except death. Those who are defeated by themselves will die when they die.

Click. The sound of unlocking came from outside the door of the room, and Guhuaduoluo opened his eyes wide to look, and then amidst the sound of light footsteps. A person walked in slowly. After he entered, the door behind him was quickly closed.

Give me an order. Anyone who dares to come within ten steps of this room. Kill!

Gu Huaduo heard the voice. Immediately my heart jumped! He recognized the voice!

Du Weixuan

Walking slowly in front of Guhuaduoluo, he sighed softly. Then smiled! Dear General Guhuaduoluo, long time no see.

Guhuaduoluo snorted. Don't go to see Du Wei. Du Wei stretched out his hand. He took out the hemp core stuffed in Guhuaduoluo's mouth, and then patted Guhuaduoluo's shoulder lightly. He took out the key, clicked a few times, and opened all his shackles.

Guhuaduoluo staggered and fell down from the wall, moved his hands and feet, and immediately looked at Du Wei vigilantly: What are you thinking about! Let go of my shackles, aren't you afraid that I will go all out! There are only two of us here. personal!

Du Wei rolled his eyes: Don't waste your energy. I gave you my specially prepared magic potion, and you don't even want to use up your fighting spirit. Although you are a warrior, you have no fighting spirit and no weapons in your hands. , I will give you one hand and one foot, and you can't even beat me.

After Du Wei finished speaking, he pointed to the only table in the room and said with a smile, Now, let's sit down and chat, General Guhuaduoluo.

Gu Huaduoluo's heart sank: You, what kind of heart do you have! Hmph, are you trying to recruit me?! It is absolutely impossible for me to work for you! Du Wei!.

Du Wei spread his hands, and said lightly: I never thought about it. To be honest, just before I came in, I had already executed you in front of thousands of eyes. I quietly sent someone to find a The corpse came, put on your armor, then smeared your face with blood, and pronounced your death sentence in front of many people, then threw the corpse into the fire and burned it directly. , Du Wei smiled and looked at Guhuaduoluo: That is to say, dear General Guhuaduoluo, now, you are a dead person. The whole world thinks you are dead.

Guhuaduoluo shuddered, stared at Du Wei in disbelief, and said in disbelief, You...why did you do this?

Of course it's to save your life. Du Wei sneered: I don't want to hand you over, your life is far more valuable than imagined!

Looking at Guhuaduoluo with a surprised face, Du Wei smiled kindly: Okay, sit down and talk. General, now that the battle is over, we don't need to be so hostile anymore. Don't worry, I I will not kill you. On the contrary, I will do everything in my power to protect you! Protect your life and safety. I will not even let anyone know that you are still alive!

Gu Huaduoluo was heartbroken, and sat down heavily, but stared at Du Wei: No matter what ideas you want to hit me... Du Wei, I tell you, I will never surrender to you!

Du Wei rubbed his chin, laughed a few times, and then asked abruptly: General Guhuatuoluo, there is a purple oval birthmark on your back and lower waist, right? And your feet... Well, the little finger on your right foot is gone, when you were young, you encountered an incident, and it turned out that the little finger on your right foot was cut off at that time, right?

Gu Huaduo heard this. He stood up abruptly, looked at Du Wei in surprise, and then quickly lowered his head to look at his clothes.

Don't get me wrong, I didn't take off your clothes while you were unconscious... Du Wei laughed: You are not a woman, and I am not interested in seeing your body. I don't need to talk about it myself. Check and I'll know!

Guhuaduoluo's voice trembled a little: You... how do you know!

Of course I have my own way. Du Wei muttered quickly, then he moved a little closer and stared at Gu Huaduo's eyes: Your eye sockets are slightly shallower than ordinary people's. Your nose bridge is also slightly shallower. It's a bit collapsed...Well, although you have a scar on your nose, people ignore it. But if you observe carefully, you can still see a little bit, your nose bridge is slightly collapsed than that of ordinary Roland people... ...These are the characteristics of mixed blood, right? General Guhuaduoluo? You are not a pure Roland! You have the blood of the grassland people!

Gu Huaduoluo's eyes were a little flustered, but he said bravely: Humph! So what! Anyway, I have already lost and have nothing. Even if you know that I have the blood of the grassland people, how can you still use this threat? me!!

Du Wei ignored Guhuaduoluo, but continued to speak slowly on his own.

Guhuaduoluo, you are forty-one years old this year. You were born in the winter of the empire's nine hundred and twenty-two years. You were born in the north of the empire. When you were five years old, you followed your mother to the northwest... Hehe, but I'm afraid you You can’t even remember what happened in the north. But it’s okay, I’ve checked it out for you! When you were five years old, you came to the northwest. Your mother was a grassland girl, and she was originally a slave girl in a noble family. , was later rewarded to a servant of that noble family. And that servant is your father... Oh. To be precise, it should be your adoptive father! Because you are not his own.

When you were five years old. Your adoptive father made a contribution to that noble family. Help your mother out of slavery, take your mother and you. Together they came to settle in the Northwest. Your adoptive father and others partnered to trade horses in the Northwest, and your family was already doing well... But when you were eleven years old, your family suffered a catastrophe!

Because your father had a conflict with someone, it is said that he was a business competitor, and poisoned your adoptive father by means. And on the second night of your father's death, a group of people rushed into your house and tried to kill the grass. During that accident, you were cut on your foot with a sword and lost your little finger on your right foot. And your mother was also killed by those people. You were going to die too, but it happened that a group of patrolling soldiers from the Northwest Army passed by and saved your life.

After that, you survived a catastrophe, and it happened that the Northwest Army was recruiting people at that time, so you signed up to join the army, but you were too young to join the army, so you were spotted by a commanding officer of the Northwest Army and became his personal entourage. It was also the officer who taught you martial arts because you were young and smart. You have good talent and progress.

Soon, after the age of fifteen. He successfully entered the Northwest Army.

subsequently. When you were seventeen years old. Just in time for the war between the empire and the prairie people. You rose to prominence in that war. Make a stand. All the way up the promotion - originally. Based on your age at that time. It is absolutely impossible to be promoted too quickly. It's just that the Northwest Army was already damaged after the war. So you were young at the time. But relying on military merit. He was still promoted. After the war, you were nineteen years old. He was promoted to Commanding Officer! after. You are excellent in leading troops and are appreciated by Lu Gaodi. Step by step, he made steady progress in the Northwest Army. Finally became the confidant of Lu Gaodi's direct line!

At the age of thirty-one, you were promoted to the rank of general, in that very year. You did one more thing. It is to find the enemy who is said to have poisoned your adoptive father back then. One night, you brought your soldiers with you. Butchered the entire family. Thirty-three people were killed! That incident was a big one, even if you were a general of the empire, you couldn't trample on the laws of the empire like this, but Lu Gao appreciated you and protected you. No one dared to pursue this matter. Also because of this incident. You are grateful to Lu Gao in your heart and have been loyal to him until today.

After Du Wei finished speaking in one breath, he looked at Guhuaduoluo with a smile: Am I right?

Guhuaduoluo was speechless, his eyes widened. He stared at Du Wei, opened his lips, but couldn't say a word.

I also know something special, that is... when you took revenge. You killed that enemy's family, but then captured that enemy and tortured him carefully. But that guy didn't say that he went to kill you at night when he was dying. And who is the murderer of your mother! And he also denied that he sent people to cut the weeds! You have always been distressed by this matter. Right?.

Guhuaduoluo grasped the corner of the table vigorously with both hands, his fingers turned white with force. Staring at Du Wei: You... don't you know? How do you know so many things!!

Du Wei said lightly: I just know.

He patted Guhuaduoluo's shoulder hard, and sighed: Poor...you are also a hard-working person. To be honest, Guhuaduoluo, in my eyes, you are just a defeated general, a An insignificant person, like an ant, was crushed to death. Fortunately, I learned about you in advance, and it turns out that your identity is really not simple!!

He stared at Guhuaduoluo's eyes: Here, we have agreed in advance! Since I quietly saved your life, I naturally want to use you! You must be clear about this. I also know that no conditions can be bought You. You are a loyal person to Lu Gao... But, if I can tell you, what is the origin of the people who sent people to your house to kill the grass and roots, killed your mother, and almost killed you... ...What do you think of this condition?

Seeing that Guhuaduoluo's body was trembling uncontrollably, Du Wei slowly threw out the last tempting condition!

It's nothing serious except death! But a man, if you don't know it before, it's fine. But after you know it, you can't even avenge your mother's death, so you die. I'm afraid you are not reconciled in your heart? Du Wei stared Guhuaduoluo: I don't want you to do special things. As long as you stay here well, live well, don't commit suicide, eat when you want, drink when you want, and sleep when you want to sleep. Wait until I let you appear I promise, even if you can't kill your enemy with your own hands, at least I can let you see the day your enemy died. Do you understand?

You...what on earth do you know! Gu Huaduo asked in a hoarse and trembling voice, You...I...who is that enemy?!

Du Wei smiled.

Your biological father.

These words hit Guhuaduoluo's heart like a heavy hammer!

Biological father? !

Guhuaduoluo's mother was originally a slave girl in a noble family. Because she was young and beautiful, she was naturally destined to be treated as a plaything. And it was used by that noble family to serve some distinguished guests back then...

As for who Guhuaduoluo's own father is, he never knows. I also asked my mother when I was young, but my mother didn't say anything. Later, he became sensible and knew that this kind of experience was also a kind of tragic memory for his mother, so he didn't mention it again, so as not to make her sad.

But... what Du Wei said today made Guhuaduoluo suddenly go crazy!

Your father is a man of great status. Du Wei said slowly: Unfortunately, it is precisely because of his status that he must not have any illegitimate children outside. Otherwise, once this matter is exposed, His future will be ruined. So... just when you were eleven years old, your father experienced a great disaster and an opportunity. Just when he was about to make a big splash, in order to keep it secret, he sent someone Go to the northwest to kill you! Because you are his son, if you are found out by his enemies and expose your identity, then he will lose everything! As a result, this will cause your misery Fate.

He...he, who is...who...who? Who??? Guhuaduoluo roared loudly, but the man in his forties was crying.

You must have heard of this name. He is now a very famous person on the mainland. But, I can't tell you now. Guhuaduoluo... I said, you stay here obediently and cooperate with me. As long as You are alive, and one day, I promise to give you a chance to take revenge... at least let you see the day he dies. How about it? I don't want you to be loyal to me, I don't want you to lead the army to fight for me, as long as you are here , just live obediently.

Live...live... Guhuaduoluo clenched his fists so hard that his nails pierced his palm deeply, dripping with blood....
