"There's nothing worth noting." Gu Xun didn't take it seriously. Didn't he just come to Songhai to help Fusu deal with Confucianism... Oh, that's not right! Why did Fusu want to deal with Confucianism so early?
In the anime, it doesn't matter if he targets Confucianism, but now, Fusu in reality should not deliberately target Confucianism.
After all, Han Fei has been taking care of the quicksand and teaching him knowledge in recent years. He has done both merit and hard work. Looking at Han Fei's face, Fusu will not plan to deal with Confucianism early?
Well... forget it, there's nothing to think about, just ask him directly later.
Gu Xun's thoughts changed, but he still didn't care much.
"Where is Renzong?"
"There was some trouble within the Renzong. Not only did the head Xiaoyaozi get involved, but it seems that even the Tianzong was involved." Zhang Han replied.
Gu Xunyang raised his head and recalled it, and he probably guessed what happened - an elder from the Renzong defected, and it seemed that he defected with important treasures.
This is somewhat interesting - Gu Xun is quite interested in that unknown and important treasure.
"You... forget it, I don't need you anymore." Gu Xun subconsciously wanted to assign the task, but in the middle of the sentence, he remembered what he had just said, and gave up again.
It’s better to turn around and tell Mo Crow to pay attention.
Zhang Han, just follow Fusu honestly.
Zhang Han himself knew this well, so he remained obediently silent at this time, and did not take any work without permission just to show his loyalty.
………………
On the narrow valley road outside Songhai City, the rumble of horse hooves echoed between the narrow mountain walls.
Meng Tian rode a big red horse with armor and stomach, galloping in the long and winding valley, the cloak behind him fluttering in the wind.
Behind him, there was a long cavalry team of several people in a row. There were about one or two thousand people. Almost everyone held a torch in their hands, lighting up the entire canyon. Looking down from above, a clear line was clearly visible.
The long dragon.
It was getting late at night, and the humidity began to rise. The humidity was particularly severe in uninhabited places like the wild, and a layer of white mist gradually formed and became thicker.
This means that even though Meng Tian's army has sufficient fire sources and the moon is very willing to buy it, the line of sight is still not very far.
But it doesn't matter. When the army is dispatched, it must scout first. If the terrain ahead changes or there are obstacles, the scouts will naturally come back to report.
This canyon road is not very long, and it is not worth mentioning for the Empire's ace Golden Fire Cavalry, all of which are equipped with high-quality war horses. In less than a moment, the entire army rushed to the exit of the canyon.
But at this time, Meng Tian signaled to stop the entire team.
Calculating the time and distance, even if everything was normal ahead, the previous batch of scouts should have returned to report the situation, but he has yet to see anyone.
Beyond the exit of the valley is a large flat open space, but due to the hazy fog, Meng Tian cannot see very far.
Just when he was about to send out another scout to check the situation, there was some noise in the fog, and the outline of a horse gradually became clear.
The tall and burly war horse slowly walked up to Meng Tian, carrying a body that was slumped on its back and barely survived.
Now, Meng Tian knows what happened to his scout.
The soldiers around him immediately shouted loudly about the enemy attack, arousing the vigilance of the entire army.
Of course, as the true trump card of the empire, they will only enter the most nervous state of alert, but will not cause riots.
The whole team is still uniform.
Meng Tian never spoke. He just narrowed his eyes and scanned the large open space in front of him.
To be honest, Meng Tian was a little surprised. Is it possible that the Mo family dared to take the initiative to resist?
Are you looking down on the empire’s ace troops?
At this time, a figure appeared in the hazy white mist. He was tall, his clothes were flying, and his appearance could not be clearly seen. It didn't matter, he could see it clearly soon.
Meng Tian's originally squinted eyes suddenly widened, and his eyes widened accordingly.
The person who appeared is none other than the leader of the Empire’s most wanted list, the man with the most bounty in history, the descendant of Zongheng, the Empire’s Sword Master—Genie!
In an army that values the strong, apart from generals like Wang Jian and Mengtian, the most famous figures are Gu Xun, the national master, and Gai Nie, the sword master.
Originally, although Gai Nie was well-known, not many people knew exactly what he looked like, but now because his wanted posters are all over the streets, his recognition has actually increased.
As soon as Gai Nie showed up, several soldiers immediately recognized him and subconsciously exclaimed.
And this allowed the soldiers around them to know the identity of the man who was now so bold and desperate to stand in front of them.
One pass to ten, ten to one hundred, and soon everyone in the front group knew that Gai Nie had appeared, causing everyone to exclaim again and again, and the fear in their voices could not be concealed - even though they were the ace of the empire, the Golden Fire Cavalry.
.
This also reflects the deep prestige of Ganie in the hearts of these soldiers. After all, there are few people in the world who have the courage to be the opponent of the Sword Master.
Meng Tian ignored the fuss of his soldiers, and quickly calmed down. He shook the reins in his hands, drove his horse forward two steps, and raised his hand to salute:
"Mr. Gai, I haven't seen you for many years. It's been a long time."
Gai Nie's long and narrow eyes looked calmly at the thousands of troops on the opposite side. He held the wooden sword he had whittled in his hand. His hair was blown to one side by the night wind, and his clothes made a rustling noise.
"You're well, General Meng."
Meng Tian first glanced at the wooden sword, then with a smile on his lips, he asked, "Mr. Gai, do you know that you are the most important wanted criminal in the empire... bar none!"
"Know."
"Sir, do you know that I am leading the army to capture you and your companions?"
"Know."
"Oh..." Meng Tian leaned back and smiled even more, "Then... Mr. Didn't you come to surrender?"
"No."
Ge Nie answered three questions in a row without blinking an eyelid and without any fluctuation in his voice.
Seeing this, Meng Tian's smile gradually faded away, his brows sank, his tone became serious, and he asked again, "What do you want, Mr. Yin Ye, to wait here?"
"I have something to advise the general."
"Oh... I'd like to hear the details." Meng Tian twisted his neck and responded calmly.
"General, please take your troops back to camp and don't move forward any further."
"Ha... How can there be any reason for the army to return without success if it is sent out?"
"Does the general know... what happened in Waning Moon Valley?"
As soon as Gai Nie said these words, there was another commotion.
Many people in the army know that during the process of defecting, the Imperial Sword Master Gai Nie single-handedly killed 300 dragon and tiger cavalry who were ready to go in the battle with Cangyue Valley.
"Crescent Moon Valley...hahaha!" Meng Tian laughed angrily when he heard this, and yelled loudly, "Gai Nie! You received the emperor's favor and was awarded the sword master, but you betrayed your trust and rebelled against the empire!"
"How dare you talk about attacking the Imperial Army!"
Gai Nie seemed to turn a deaf ear to Meng Tian's stern rebuke, and his voice remained lukewarm.
"I don't like killing, they blocked my way...that's all."
