Feng He felt that Ma Feizi was valuable, so he did not show any seriousness during the interrogation. Ma Feizi had an illusion. He felt that he was very important and no one dared to do anything to him.
Tan Wenyue was different. He saw that Ma Feizi was very annoyed, so he slapped him a few times, very hard, and hit Ma Feizi's jaw.
Ma Feizi cursed in pain, and his words were unclear. Tan Wenyue glanced at the soldier next to him.
The soldier held Ma Feizi's head and reset his jaw.
"If you dare to hit me, if I don't tell you, you will all be in trouble."
Ma Feizi was still arrogant. Tan Wenyue frowned and cursed: "I have been fighting with the ghost tribe for hundreds of years. I can't survive without you?"
"Drag it out and behead it!"
Tan Wenyue didn't care at all. The soldiers dragged Ma Feizi out. Ma Feizi thought he was scaring him and continued to curse.
After dragging him outside, the soldiers threw Ma Feizi to the ground, pulled out a dark knife, and planned to kill Ma Feizi.
Only then did Ma Feizi confirm that Tan Wenyue really wanted to kill him.
Ma Feizi was so frightened that he rolled away and shouted: "I know the inside story of the ghost, you..."
The black knife fell and one of Ma Feizi's legs was cut off. The soldier frowned and raised the knife to kill again.
Ma Feizi shouted: "The governor of Yangcheng is a ghost-born spy, and the Yuncheng guard Zeng Mu is also a ghost-born spy. You still dare to kill me..."
The soldier was too lazy to pay attention and stepped forward to add another blow, and Ma Feizi was beheaded.
After shaking off the blood on his knife, the soldier turned around and returned to the camp to resume his life.
Tan Wenyue was drinking with Yu Wenkai when a soldier came in and reported: "General Tan, he was killed. Before he died, he said that the governor of Yangcheng and the guard of Yuncheng Zeng Mu were ghosts."
After hearing this, Yu Wenkai put down the wine jar in his hand and said: "Prefect of Yangcheng? Isn't Yuncheng a border? There is actually an insider among the guards?"
Tan Wenyue put down his wine bowl and said with a smile: "It's hard to tell the truth from the lies. That guy might be talking nonsense before he dies."
Yu Wenkai said: "Send a letter to Yuncheng and tell Long Chen to confirm it. If it is true, there may be trouble."
The warrior immediately sent a letter to Cloud City.
...
Cloud City.
A letter eagle flew back, and the soldiers immediately took the information and presented it to the guard, Donna.
This letter eagle was released by Hou Qi, indicating that Hou Qi discovered the enemy situation ahead.
Donna received it and immediately unfolded it. It read: 200 miles northeast of Yuncheng, 500 ghosts were found.
After reading the information, Donna immediately ran to Long Chen's room.
At this time, Long Chen was still sleeping, Shi Jingxiang's thick black hair fell on the pillow, and he held Long Chen's arm with one hand.
There was a knock on the door, and Long Chen opened his eyes. Shi Jingxiang was very sleepy. She let out a soft breath, moved her body, and continued to sleep while hugging Long Chen.
Long Chen slowly took Shi Jingxiang's hand, put on his clothes, and opened the door. Donna stood anxiously outside the door.
"King Wu, I'm waiting for you to find traces of the ghost tribe, 200 miles northeast, numbering 500."
Long Chen nodded slightly and said: "500, can the general leading the army be sure?"
Donna shook her head and said, "I didn't say."
The waiting knights are all ordinary soldiers. After discovering the ghost clan, they will definitely not dare to get close to detect them, and they will not be able to find out the generals leading the troops.
"Don't be nervous, just keep monitoring, it's only 500."
Seeing that Donna was very nervous, Long Chen smiled and patted her shoulder. Donna nodded and said, "With King Wu here, I won't worry."
This is true, Yanmen Pass can be reached by a 90,000-strong siege army, so a mere 500 is nothing.
"You pick some people...that's all. Find some good horses and I'll go out of the city right away to have a look."
Long Chen originally wanted to take some soldiers and horses out of the city, but thought it was unnecessary, because these soldiers were just there to watch the fun, or to die.
Therefore, Long Chen only needs a few fast horses and Shi Jingxiang and the two of them can leave the city.
"Take orders."
Donna immediately made arrangements. Long Chen closed the door and Shi Jingxiang was already awake.
"Did you discover the ghost clan?"
Shi Jingxiang slowly got up, looking very tired.
"Yes, 500 ghost soldiers."
Long Chen sat on the bed, and Shi Jingxiang picked up his clothes and got up.
"Why is it only 500? The ghost clan thinks we are weak? Or are we suspicious soldiers?"
Having fought against the ghost clan several times, Shi Jingxiang no longer fears the ghost clan.
In her opinion, the ghosts are just stronger enemies.
Long Chen shook his head and said: "I don't know clearly. I only know after looking at it. It's 200 miles away. If we march at full speed, we should be about 100 miles away from Yuncheng now."
It takes time for the flying eagle to pass the message. The ghost tribe is still advancing, and it should be very close to Cloud City at this time.
"The two of us?"
Shi Jingxiang heard it just now, Long Chen said: "We two, it's useless if the others go, they can only defend the city."
If there were only 500 people, Long Chen would be sure to wipe them all out.
Of course, it also depends on who the opponent’s general is.
"good."
Shi Jingxiang got up, combed her hair briefly, and the two of them went out.
When they arrived at the north gate, Donna had already prepared her war horse.
"King Wu."
Donna and Yan Gang were waiting at the door with a group of military officers.
"You guys guard the city, don't go out to fight, and everything goes according to plan."
"The general will understand, King Wu, be careful."
Long Chen got on his horse and ran towards the northeast with Shi Jingxiang.
Among the generals who saw him off, there was a veteran general in his 50s. This man was from the old Xixia tribe and surrendered to the Zhou Dynasty. He is now the captain of the crossbow school, named Zeng Mu.
Zeng Mu watched Long Chen and Shi Jingxiang leave the city, and said worriedly: "General Tang, King Wu has left. If the ghost clan makes a sneak attack at this time, we may not be able to defend it."
Lieutenant General Yan Gang said: "The ghost tribe is still outside the city, and King Wu is blocking them in front. The ghost tribe cannot attack the city."
Donna also said: "According to the scheduled plan, enter the battle state, especially your crossbow battalion, all ready, and the musketry battalion, all ready!"
Zeng Mu took the order and went down.
Long Chen and Shi Jingxiang rode their horses toward the northeast. They met five waiting riders on the way. Long Chen stopped them and asked, "Where are the ghosts?"
Hou Qi didn't know Long Chen, so Long Chen took out the token, and Hou Qi immediately reported back: "Go back to King Wu, the ghost tribe has camped in front and can't move."
Long Chen was slightly surprised. The ghost tribe actually stopped camping. What does it mean? Waiting for reinforcements?
Long Chen rode his horse forward, with Shi Jingxiang following behind.
After running for more than ten miles, Long Chen saw the ghost tribe's military camp.
I took out my binoculars and saw hundreds of ghost soldiers setting up camp.
They didn't carry tents or anything like that. They just sat down, allowed their horses to graze, and sent people to patrol the outside. That was all.
The number of people is about the same as the waiting reward, which is around 500.
Long Chen looked through the camera to find the ghost general leading the troops.
After searching for a while, I finally saw two familiar figures: Qin Hao and Gui Fei.
"It is indeed the two of them."
Long Chen smiled coldly.
Shi Jingxiang also saw Qin Hao and Guitai and said, "The two of them led the army and only brought 500. What does this mean?"
Long Chen couldn't kill Qin Hao, but he could suppress him. Qin Hao was no match for Long Chen, and Gui Fei was no match for Long Chen.
Sending such a general for a sneak attack with only 500 ghost soldiers is tantamount to death.
"So, I suspect this is a suspected soldier."
With a small number of people and no attack, I always feel that the purpose of this group of people is to attract attention.
