Rebellious officials bow their heads

Even the candlelight that smudged in the big tent could not hide the cold light in Xu Yan's eyes.

With his fingers hidden under the black sleeve robe, he turned his other right hand to Shangtian Shijie.

Silence spread in the tent, several dark shadows passed outside the tent, and there was an extremely subtle sound of weapons being unsheathed in the air.The four of them were like solidified statues. At this moment, if they dared to refuse aloud or take a step closer to Yuan Xuanfeng, the guards ambushing outside the tent would surely rush up and take them down.

Xu Yan suppressed the killing intent rolling in his chest, calmed down his tone, broke the dead silence, and said, "Why don't I stay here..."

"I think General Yuan's idea is good." As soon as Ye Liuzhou said, the eyes of several people turned to him, "Let me stay here."

He met Xu Yan's gaze and shook his head to appease him.

Yuan Xuanfeng laughed: "Well, there is no need to delay the night raid. Young Master and Mr. Xu are ready to set off now. I have already planned a route for you to lurk into the Scouting Wolf camp. We only need to wait for the two to take down the Scouting Commander and Mr. Xu." The head of the Overseer returns triumphant."

Xu Yan and Jing Yuan didn't intend to move their footsteps. After a moment or two of silence, Jing Fuling laughed to ease the atmosphere, and asked: "If they kill the leader of the repelling wolf army and the army is in chaos, they will definitely send troops to chase after them. Brothers, how will they come back then?"

Yuan Xuanfeng said: "You can rest assured on this point, as long as the signal is sent out after the assassination is successful, someone will naturally respond."

Having said that, the two of them must go. Ye Liuzhou looked at Xu Yan earnestly, thinking in his heart that he had reached this point, but he must not give up halfway because of him. Then the consequences will be unimaginable.

Xu Yan stared at him closely, not knowing what he was thinking, turned around and walked out after a while.

Ye Liuzhou breathed a sigh of relief.

Jing Fuling whispered a few words to Jing Yuan, the young man nodded and walked out, and when he passed by Ye Liuzhou, he reached out to hold his arm.

"What's wrong?" he asked.

The young man's dark eyes were as deep as the night, and he said, "I will be back tomorrow morning. You only need to stay here for one night, and Jing Fuling will protect you."

Ye Liuzhou couldn't help but want to touch his head, and just about to raise his hand, Jing Yuan squeezed his hand, then quickly let go, and walked out of the big tent.

After Jing Yuan and Xu Yan left, there were obviously more soldiers around Ye Liuzhou and Jing Fuling, but their movements were still relatively free. Cao Qihan stared at them from a distance.

The two re-lit the bonfire, sat opposite each other, watching the jumping sparks, each other was full of thoughts.

Dark clouds cover the moon, and the night is long.

Crossing the rocky river beach, crossing the raging and turbulent advection river, behind the lush jungle, there are [-] wolf-repelling cavalry stationed ready to go. The camps are scattered, and the patrol team holds spears, not letting go of the slightest clue, taking turns alternately.

Jing Yuan lurks in the shadow under the tree, observing the surrounding situation vigilantly, thinking about the blind spots missed by the patrol team, but suddenly hears the rustling of leaves around him.

Wearing a pitch-black cloak, Xu Yan went out just like that, and was exposed to the sight of many guards. In an instant, there was a sound of golden swords, and countless sharp swords pointed at him.

Xu Yan, who was trapped in the encirclement, remained motionless, his face hidden in the shadow under the hood.

Seeing this scene, Jing Yuan frowned tightly, and also walked out of the grass, pointing at the ground with Chuan Luan sword shining with cold light in his hand.

Countless soldiers approached them. At this moment, the soldiers suddenly separated to the two sides like a tide, and a man wearing armor and holding a helmet came out from the middle. Inspector General.

He raised his arm to signal the soldiers not to move rashly, looked at Xu Yan and Jing Yuan behind him, and said, "Who is coming?"

Xu Yan raised his hand and took off the hood of his cloak, revealing a stern face, and said in a deep voice, "—Xu Yan."

"So it's Mr. Sixth Ji. I've been waiting here for a long time."

Hearing Ji Xingwei's words, Jing Yuan's tense expression froze for a moment.

Under the night, the two entered the Scolding Wolf barracks on this side, but there were bursts of wailing from the other side of the advection river.

General Zhao Ke whipped the captives tied to the stakes with a long whip, trying to find out the enemy's movements from their mouths, but he didn't expect that these scouts were hard bones, covered in bloodstains, but they couldn't come out of their mouths. half a word.

He threw the whip on the ground in annoyance. Cao Qihan, who was guarding Ye Liuzhou and the others, was bored. He paid attention to Zhao Ke's side. Seeing this situation, he said, "Why don't you use branding, general? As long as you are scalded with a red-hot iron, you will be guaranteed." They recruited everything."

Zhao Ke said coldly: "I'm afraid they will die if they can't hold on for a while."

He handed the whip to his subordinates, "keep whipping until they are willing to speak."

Cao Qihan turned his gaze back resentfully, but his face suddenly changed drastically. He saw that the campfire not far away was empty, and Ye Liuzhou and Jing Fuling had disappeared.

In fact, the two did not leave the barracks. They just took advantage of his inattention and went around to the other side of the tent, using the piled up straw to cover up their figures. Looking from the gap, they could only see the night mist, and a group of soldiers escorted a car. Grain carts were sent to the granary.

Standing in front of the door was Yuan Xuanfeng with several followers. He walked to the stopped grain cart, cut through the sack with his sword, and took out an object from it.

"What is that?" Jing Fuling couldn't see it clearly from a distance away.

There was a pungent smell in the air, similar to the smell of gunpowder mixed with saltpeter and sulfur.

Ye Liuzhou narrowed his eyes and said, "It's a bird gun."

"What?" Jing Fuling was so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth from ear to ear, "You mean those are firearms? Why do they have so many firearms?"

However, what surprised her even more was still behind. Yuan Xuanfeng seemed to say a few words to the soldiers, and then the group laughed loudly and said with a thick accent: "These goods are enough to blow up the wolf-repelling cavalry!" Heaven, when Yu Shui is captured tomorrow, Ji Xingwei's head must be chopped off and sent to the capital for Ji Han to have a look at!"

"The pack of wolves and cavalry who scolded the wolf cavalry killed countless of us, and this time we can finally get revenge. I want to hear their wailing tomorrow!"

One of them said: "I really can't wait to know Ji Han's expression when he receives this gift, but it's a pity that the emperor Xie Jia doesn't ask about political affairs, otherwise, if he knows the news that the whole army of scolding wolf cavalry has been wiped out, he will die in fright past?"

There was another burst of laughter.

Jing Fuling only felt that the five thunders were thundering, and the people who came into contact with Yuan Xuanfeng were all Beiluo people who were eyeing Dazhao.

He also heard the harsh voice of the leader: "General Yuan, you can rest assured that when I, the king, overcome these obstacles and take down Zhaoguo, you will definitely not let you guard this shitty land again. Your place will be reserved for you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for Yuan."

Hearing Yuan Xuanfeng's promise, Jing Fuling murmured in astonishment: "He actually really betrayed the country..."

After a moment of silence, she turned to look at Ye Liuzhou, "Why aren't you surprised at all?"

Ye Liuzhou looked at them with serious eyes, "From the moment Yuan Xuanfeng disregarded Dazhao's safety and mobilized the capital's battalion to leave the line of defense, his behavior was tantamount to treason."

He stopped looking any further, turned around and went back the same way, "Let's go."

Jing Fuling glanced at the granary worriedly, and followed him.

"Miss Jing, so now, the purpose of you and Jing Yuan coming to Lingbei is only to compete among the three schools and build a way to make money between Dingjian Villa and Yuan's family?" Ye Liuzhou said calmly.

The cold wind was blowing head-on, and Jing Fuling hesitated to speak.

Ye Liuzhou then asked: "If not, then what exactly do you intend to do?"

Jing Fuling moved his lips, but before he could reply, he bumped into Cao Qihan, who was looking for him in a hurry, on the way. He sized up the two of them and asked, "Where did you go?"

"I don't know how to say this?" Ye Liuzhou said, "General Yuan didn't order me to be restrained."

Choking, Cao Qihan stared at Ye Liuzhou for a moment, then suddenly raised his fist at him.

Jing Fuling took a step forward, shook off the whip and slapped it on the ground, shouting: "Lord Cao, don't forget the great gift you gave last time!"

Cao Qihan's fist was firmly fixed in the air.

The two ignored him and returned to the bonfire. Ye Liuzhou wanted to pass the blanket to Jing Fuling, but the woman said she didn't need it, so he wrapped it around his body with peace of mind, leaned his back on the stake, and made do with it all night.

Early the next morning, Yuan Xuanfeng called Cao Qihan to take the two of them to his tent, and asked someone to make two cups of tea for them. He didn't talk too much, and sat at the desk to check the files, but obviously his attention was not on the paper. I didn't turn a page for a long time.

Ye Liuzhou sat on the side, and waited until the cup of tea cooled down, when there was a commotion outside, a messenger came in quickly, and said a few words to Yuan Xuanfeng, he stood up immediately after listening.

Then the curtain of the big tent was lifted by someone, and a gust of cold wind came in with a strong smell of blood.

Xu Yan and Jing Yuan came in one after the other, their bodies covered in blood, with an unending chill.

Xu Yan was carrying a red bundle in his hand, dripping with blood. He stepped forward and put the bundle on Yuan Xuanfeng's desk in the dead and silent tent.

"This is the head of Pang Qing, the commander of the wolf-repelling cavalry, and Ji Xingwei, the supervising army?" Yuan Xuanfeng looked at the burden in front of him, with a look of surprise and joy on his face, and slowly stretched out his hand to remove the bloody cloth.

"Yes, and the scolding wolf cavalry made a mess, and they have already withdrawn ten miles away from the Pingliu River." Xu Yan said, his eyes turned and fell on Ye Liuzhou.

Ye Liuzhou was also looking at him, and felt relieved when he saw that he didn't have any wounds on his body. He thought that the occasion was wrong, and he would ask him how things were last night later.
