Under the night, two miles away from Chen Shen who was riding a slow horse, there was a person lying on the top of the banyan tree.
The strange thing is that there is clearly a person lying on the top of the tree branch, but under the moonlight, the human form is not visible at all.
Only those who are at the peak of the Xuan Master level and above, staring intently at a small area on top of the banyan tree, can see something strange——
Against the moonlight, there seemed to be a small ball of mist flowing slowly at the tip of the tree branches, causing some subtle refraction changes in the moonlight.
As for the perception of the soul, under normal circumstances, one can only detect that the air flow here is slightly bumpy, and cannot capture the breath of a living person at all...
"Golden armor and silver spear, riding a one-horned red-maned beast... This young man must be the Great Xia Flying General Chen Shen who has become famous in recent months, right?"
On the branch of the tree, the shadowy figure secretly rejoiced: "As soon as I, Black Thorn, entered Yutong Pass with my front legs, my back legs bumped into the target of my assassination. It's really better to arrive early than to arrive by chance!"
It turns out that this mist-like guy is called Black Thorn, and he is the silent shadow man next to Lord Tai Kou.
Da Inu Ichiro sent him to assassinate the commander who captured Yutong Pass.
Black Thorn crossed the sea and the river, walked 13,000 miles non-stop for four days, and finally arrived at his destination tonight.
Before entering the pass, he had secretly inquired and confirmed the information about the general guarding Yutong Pass: he was the only grandson of Chen Zangfeng, the upstart in the army who had destroyed the Northern Yi within three months: Flying General Chen Shen!
His costume of golden armor, silver guns, flaming red horses has already spread the word and is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Therefore, Black Thorn confirmed the target at a glance.
As Chen Shen walked slowly, Black Thorn jumped from one tree branch to another, tracking silently.
This weird Yin Yun man is tracking and spreading his spiritual consciousness, quietly spying on everything about the other party——
"Well...this young boy has nothing to boast about. His strength should only be that of the Nine-Star Xuan Master."
"It seems that the rumors are true. The reason why he can sing all the way is not only because of his many clever tricks, but also the most important thing is the one-horned red-maned beast under his crotch that has advanced to the peak of the one-star beast king, and the other three-star black king.
The battle pet at the peak level: Han Tianhu."
"Coupled with the bravery of the Great Xia Cavalry Army, we can achieve this, right?"
Thinking of this, Black Thorn couldn't help but curse in his heart: "Those two idiots Shoda Saburo and Koizumi Benimaru! They must have underestimated the enemy and were arrogant. That's why Chen Shen deceived them out of the city respectively, and then used the battle between Han Tianhu and the one-horned red-maned beast.
Can you divide and kill them?"
A well-known Taikou general was actually scolded as a fool by this shadow man, with a completely condescending scolding attitude.
I wonder how powerful this black thorn is?
"Wang Neng! Are you stealing words here again?"
Chen Shen passed by an inspection point in the city on horseback and found a man with a tiger's head and a scar on his forehead holding a pepper chicken and chewing his mouth full of oil.
He is Wang Neng, one of the commanders of the Qianqi Army. He is brave and fearless on the battlefield, but off the battlefield, he becomes a greedy man.
Hearing the words behind him, Wang Neng hurriedly turned around, his already big eyes widening even more exaggeratedly: "Chen, Marshal Chen? I have seen the Marshal in my humble position!"
"That... humble, humble duty has been assigned to you. It's not that you neglected your duties while you were on duty. Please give me a warning, Commander-in-Chief!"
When this tiger-headed man saw Chen Shen, he looked like a child who had done something wrong. While bowing hurriedly, he also calmly hid the half-eaten peppercorn chicken behind his back.
"Of course I know this. Otherwise, do you think I would still be standing here chatting with you in a pleasant manner? I would have sent you to get your plate a long time ago!"
"Uh, yes, yes..." Wang Neng nodded.
"You kid, look at what you're eating... people who don't know would think that I, Chen Shen, don't feed my subordinates!" The young man rode on the back of the red rabbit and pointed at him, dumbfounded.
"Heh heh heh... I'm a greedy person. I especially like spicy food."
Wang Neng scratched his head with an embarrassed look on his face: "The mysterious beast meat jerky given by the commander is certainly delicious, but... after all, the taste is not that strong, hehehe."
"Yeah, my hair style!" The bastard scratched his head for a long time before he realized what he was doing, and his hand that grabbed Jiao No-Maj was extremely greasy.
It's fine now, it's all greasy and sticky.
"puff!"
"Hahaha……"
The centurion who came with him to take a break suddenly couldn't help laughing.
"Okay, okay, you have to eat and drink enough within a hundred breaths, and then go tell Li Dezhi to summon all the brothers with military ranks above centurion and wait for me in the lobby of the city lord's palace. I have something important to tell you."
After receiving the military order, Wang Neng immediately put on a solemn attitude: "I humbly obey my orders!"
After sending Wang Neng away, Chen Shen continued to ride his horse.
Along the way, he met many hurried cavalry generals, presumably officers who had received orders from Li Dezhi and were rushing to the hall of the city lord's palace.
Not long after, Chen Shen was already alone, gradually leaving the bustling center of the city and heading towards the empty grain farm in the west of the city.
This place is inaccessible and surrounded by vast grain piles. Unless someone climbs up to look at it, the visibility is pitifully low under the cover of night.
"Hey, this is a good place to do something." Heiji, who had been falling two miles away from Chen Shen, raised the corner of his mouth and a sharp light flashed in his eyes.
"But... this kid first asked all the military figures above the centurion to gather at the city lord's mansion, and then he came to such a remote place alone."
"Is this just a coincidence? Or... he has discovered me and did this on purpose in order not to affect the generals in the army?"
Black Thorn is secretly suspicious.
Just because he knew very well that when two Xuanwang-level figures were fighting to the death, a burst of Xuan Qi could kill dozens or hundreds of so-called elites in the army in an instant.
No matter how you look at it, Chen Shen's behavior is too weird.
Even if he mobilized officers and soldiers above the centurion level to return to the city lord's palace, it was really just to hold a war meeting, then why didn't he go back himself? Instead, he came all the way to a place like the threshing floor?
When Black Thorn was full of doubts and was on alert, the young man not far away suddenly turned over and dismounted and said something that completely dispelled the doubts in Black Thorn's heart——
"My little beauty? Your brother Chen is here. Why don't you come out and see him soon?"
Seeing the young man's half-bowed figure, coupled with his frivolous and obscene emphasis, Black Thorn suddenly realized: "Male Desert, I'm shocked!"
"So this little beast is here to have a secret meeting with his lover? No wonder he chose a place like this. No wonder he transferred all the people above the centurion level from their posts."
"Well...except for those who are at the middle level of Xuanshi or above, even if someone accidentally breaks into the vicinity of the barn, I'm afraid they won't be able to hear the turbulent movements of Chen Shen and his little lover inside, right?"
