Beiting doesn't believe in tears, and Beiting has never been a child's play.
This annual drama tailor-made for Xu Yanbing and Gong Shuyu is not just to bring the two of them together. In the calculations of Xu Xianzhi and Zhang Peng, the young couple still have a very arduous task to do.
Xu Wanyi fell asleep with a half-joyful and half-sad mood. She had done a lot in the past two days.
"A Burst of Smoke" is just a Hexi bandit invented by Zhang Peng, but the "Ghost Cloud Bandits" are a real group of bandits from the Western Regions.
Xu Wanyi's mission these two days is to lure the "Ghost Cloud Pirates" back to the hinterland of Longpo.
The bandit industry is most taboo about crossing borders to get food. To put it in a foreign language, they are a group of professional violent criminals who are most sensitive to borders.
So when the Guiyun Bandits followed a group of big fat sheep to Huilongpo only to find that another group of bandits was already waiting in Huilongpo, they would definitely not give up.
According to the territorial division, the entire Beiting territory belongs to Guiyun Pirates. It is a bad provocation for you to come to Beiting like a burst of smoke from Hexi.
"The three big ghosts and six little ghosts in Guiyun Pirates have all gathered together. It seems that they are really angry this time." Inside the residence, Ge Shuyan looked at the sand table with a calm expression, showing no signs of happiness or anger.
"Beiting has just experienced a disaster and food shortage, causing heavy losses. The city is being repaired and the people's pensions are still in progress. However, the army is always on standby at the border. The remaining troops have no time to go out of the city to suppress the bandits. Little do they know that this is the illusion we deliberately created!
"Gundam appeared in the meeting dressed as a homeless man, "Uncle, I have been in contact with the spies hiding in the Ghost Cloud Thieves gang in the past two days. The Ghost Cloud Thieves are here with all their strength this time!"
Zhang Peng nodded with a smile, "The general has cooperated with us to secretly transfer 60% of the troops away from Beiting City. The ghost bandits' eyes and ears must have sneaked into Beiting City to find out the news, but it doesn't matter, everything is up to us.
It’s expected.”
Ge Shuyan planted two small flags on the back mountain of Huilong Mountain: "The young general and the young lady will travel up to a hundred miles along the path in one night. It is expected that they will encounter the team of Gui Lao Qi and the plague ghost at Wanzihe Town at noon today!
"
"The ghost of the plague, whose original name is Yijialuo, is from Chakhtuo. He was a merchant on the Silk Road in his early years. He cultivated in the middle stage of the Qi Transformation Realm. He is good at opportunism and has good martial arts but is greedy for life and fear of death." Gundam has already obtained the information about the ghost cloud thief.
However, "His strength is not considered strong among the Guiyun Pirates, but because he is smooth and good at dancing, he is quite popular among the Guiyun Pirates."
Zhang Peng nodded and calculated the time: "There is still one day left for the No. 2 potion to be effective. The eldest brother and sister-in-law must be appreciated by the plague ghost within one day! One day later... Hehe, with the eldest brother's resourcefulness, we should
Our plans will soon become clear."
"I will make arrangements as soon as possible. The safety of the Major General and the Young Madam is the first priority. Even if they are unable to complete the mission, I can ensure that they return to Beiting City safely and soundly," Gundam handed a note to Zhang Peng
.
Zhang Peng took the note and immediately burned it after reading its content: "No wonder Guiyun Pirates were lured out so easily. It turns out that the power of our Protectorate has penetrated so deeply..."
Wanzihe Town, named after the Wanzi River flows through this place, is the only place to go to and from Huilongpo Market.
"Why are you following my lady?" Dongzhu stared at "A Bing" with hostility on his face.
"I don't want to follow you, but I am trapped in this small town like you!" A Bing didn't care about Dongzhu's aggressiveness. His mind was not on answering such boring questions.
"Brother A Bing is so skilled, why don't we break out of the encirclement by force? I saw the bandit leader from a distance. He is only in the middle stage of Qi Transformation Realm." Gong Shuyu sat in a crowded tavern and bought a meal.
"Since we meet again, I'll treat you to this meal."
Xu Yanbing sat opposite Gong Shuyu. Without any embarrassment, he picked up his chopsticks and started eating: "I won't take risks without 98% certainty. These bandits can control a small town so easily.
It shows that they are not ordinary bandits, they are definitely well-known in the Western Region. After eating your meal, I will ensure that you have no worries in the town."
Dongzhu's brows stood up. She thought this soldier was simply shameless: "Humph, our young lady needs your protection?"
But she did not observe that from the moment A Bing moved his chopsticks, many people in the tavern who cast greedy glances at their master and servant all withdrew their gazes.
"Miss Gongshu is so smart, why would she bring such a maid?" Xu Yanbing stuffed food into his mouth without looking at Dongzhu.
When Dongzhu heard this, he was about to get angry, but Gong Shuyu stopped him with a look.
"Brother A Bing, don't you know the identities of these bandits?" Gong Shuyu asked seemingly casually.
"My brain was severely injured, and all my memories except for some basic common sense have disappeared, so I have no impression of these bandits." Xu Yanbing took a sip of wine and put away the food in his mouth, "But
I'm not stupid, I can still tell that these bandits are extraordinary."
Gong Shuyu nodded slightly. She could tell by observing his micro-expressions that Xu Yanbing was not lying. She breathed a sigh of relief and then said: "They are one of the most feared bandit groups entrenched on the Silk Road. They are also known as Ghost Cloud Bandits."
, is known for his cruelty and cunning, his whereabouts are unpredictable, and he often goes in and out of the Turks. In Daxia, the Tubo plundered and caused chaos. The Beiting Protectorate sent troops to encircle and suppress him many times without success."
"Beiting Protector's Mansion..." Xu Yanbing scratched his head, thought for a while, then shook his head and continued eating, "I seem to have been to Beiting Protector's Mansion, but I can't remember anything, but I know
The Beiting Protectorate is very powerful and famous."
"The Guiyun bandits are deeply entangled, and they have their eyes and ears everywhere in the Western Region," Gong Shuyu said intentionally or unintentionally, his beautiful eyes carefully observing Xu Yanbing's expression all the time, "For example, in Wanzihe Town,
There are several businesses on every street that they placed here."
Hearing this, Xu Yanbing raised his hand and interrupted Gongshu Yu: "Miss Gongshu! What's the point of having a shallow relationship and a deep relationship? Are you trying to use me to do something ulterior?"
"Presumptuous, who do you think you are? How dare you talk to the lady like this? Do you know who my lady is?" Dongzhu's anger surged, and he even made the motion of drawing his sword.
But at the same time, Xu Yanbing's aura locked onto Dongzhu. Although his hands were still holding bowls of chopsticks and cakes, his eyes were sharp. It seemed that as long as Dongzhu dared to draw his sword, he would fight back.
"Dong Zhu!" Gong Shuyu called to Dong Zhu. She saw a murderous intent in Xu Yanbing's eyes, "What are you doing? Sit down!"
Dongzhu looked aggrieved and glared at Xu Yanbing fiercely, but finally let go of the sword hilt.
Xu Yanbing continued to drink and eat meat, and looked at Gong Shuyu with a smile: "Miss Gongshu, stop testing me with words. You'd better say what you have to say."
