Legend of the Demon Emperor of Kyushu

Chapter 79 Stealing Talismans (4)

The woman looked up, her eyes were like cold stars.

The moon finally reached the end of its journey, and quietly disappeared on the edge of the wilderness, leaving only a blue-gray echo rippling in the sky.After a while, the mysterious fish-white color began to spread from the east, like a soft veil, covering the whole earth.

Dawn came, but the person she was waiting for had not yet come.

Baichengshuang gripped the rein lightly.As a general, she never doubted her own orders after issuing military orders.No matter what the result is, she will bear it.

However, at this moment, she had to admit in her heart that after learning that Lian Hongye was in deep danger, she really couldn't keep her composure.

She had just witnessed the downfall of Yin Changqin with her own eyes. No matter how powerful a person is, they will die, and this point is still deeply engraved in her mind.

So, when the boy proposed a plan to her, she immediately agreed.She thought that at this time, she should try to trust others.

She dealt with the pursuers all night according to the plan, and then came to this hillside, waiting for the return of the daring teenagers.However, it was already dawn, and there was no one in sight.

If that boy was really in distress, what should she do?

Baichengshuang's indifferent eyes rippling, since Yuanji Immortal left, it was the first time she felt such sadness again.

Although she has not known the two teenagers for a long time, she has also experienced fighting side by side and living and dying with them.Baichengshuang felt that he and them had an indescribable tacit understanding as if they had known each other for a long time.

With her temperament, probably she will not meet many people with similar temperament in her life.Even if she's a general, she's just a woman in her early 20s who will be sad for everyone lost in her life.

At this moment, the neck and shoulders warmed up, and it was the morning sun falling on the shoulders. Bai Chengshuang raised his brows, and then his eyes narrowed.

Under the twilight of the morning light, Ye Ziqi and Gu Feng smiled happily, and galloped along the mountain road. Ye Ziqi held up a military amulet and shouted from a distance: "General, it's done!"

Baichengshuang's eyes were wet, and then he straightened his expression, drove his horse to meet him, and asked, "It's late, what obstacles did you encounter on the way?"

Ye Ziqi and the two talked about the entanglement with Mr. Qi, and Bai Chengshuang nodded after listening: "It's okay, Mr. Qi has always treated me very well. I will apologize to him when I go back."

The three of them discussed the next itinerary, and since they had the soldier amulet in hand, they all thought that there should be no major problems, so they set off again soon.He galloped to the nearby Jujiang River to drink water, and headed northward all the way. At noon, he had arrived outside Hanshi Town.

At this time, Hanshi Town has been transformed into a military fortress.Before the three of them arrived at the town, a sentinel discovered their whereabouts. Seeing that it was the chief of the guard who had arrived in person, he hurriedly opened the gate of the camp.

Baichengshuang asked the sentinel that the commander-in-chief Ma Chao was working in the town's guard, and led Ye Gu into the town.

After Ye Ziqi entered the town, he looked around right away—between the rows of roof tiles and courtyard walls in Hanshi Town, there was no civilian in sight. The streets were full of soldiers, and there were four or five bullock carts from the pine forest on the mountain. There is a whole pine tree on the car to keep out the cold.

As soon as Baicheng Shuangbing's beautiful face appeared, it immediately caused a shock in the town.The soldiers got up one after another, saluted, and gave way. Baichengshuang simply responded with a majestic expression, and rushed towards the guard post.

Ye Ziqi watched the soldiers of the three guards cast awe-inspiring gazes from left and right, and hurriedly put on a stern look to make himself look more like a qualified follower.As for Gu Feng, there is no need to be pretentious, his serious face is born as if he is responsible for some urgent military situation.It caused the soldiers of the three guards to discuss nervously in private.

After a hundred steps, Baichengshuang came to the guardhouse, got off his horse and entered, the commander Ma Chao was already waiting in the courtyard.

Ye Ziqi looked over the past, this famous three-guard veteran was in his early forties, with white hair on his temples, a strong physique, and many subordinates around him.

After seeing the three of them, Ma Chao asked, "General Shuang, could it be that something happened to the lord? Why did you come here without a notification?"

Baichengshuang nodded and said: "General Ma, call the centurions to the mansion immediately, I have something important to say." After speaking, he walked into the main hall and took the chief seat.Ye and Gu stood on the left and right.

Ma Chao sent the order down, and after a while, the commander of thousands Wang Ying and more than ten centurions all came to the hall.Bai Chengshuang and the others were all seated, and cut straight to the point: "This general is returning to the camp today because he has important military affairs to attend to. All the generals, have you noticed any unusual behavior of horse thieves recently?"

"If the general wants to say something different, there are indeed some."

Commander Wang Ying said: "Although our three guards are only guarding around Hanye City, we can also tell that the horse thieves have retreated too hastily recently. They are obviously the most ferocious this year, and there are no officers and soldiers to entangle them , it is time to let go of the robbery. But now in the south of the country of Ju, there are very few traces of horse thieves."

"It's because they didn't retreat at all!" Baichengshuang said astonishingly, and then, the barbarian Yanliu tribe besieged Leizhouhui and destroyed it under Tianshui City. Qi Lao broke into the camp gate to visit Wang's tent at night, and told everyone present one by one.

The generals of the three guards were in an uproar, and said one after another: "No wonder the Qianzhou thieves who used to scurry here and there came and went so quickly and neatly this year, it turned out that the chief of the tribe personally dispatched them!

They took advantage of Beiguo's laissez-faire and ignored them, sneaked into the heart of Beiguo, and attempted to wipe out the leaders of our Beiguo with one blow, but they were stopped by Immortal Master Yin Changqin, and this made General Lian Hongye's idea again! "

"These thieves are not here to rob this year, they are here to destroy the country."

Baichengshuang nodded in agreement, then held out the military talisman, and said: "Therefore, the lord issued an urgent order, asking me to gather troops immediately and go to support General Lian. Everyone, make preparations quickly, and don't neglect."

"Ah—" When all the officers heard this, they all looked at the commander-in-chief, Ma Chao, and they all knew that he and Wang Zhong were the real powerful generals of the three guards, and that he was publicly authorized by the king to defend Hanshi, and the other half of the military talisman was also in his possession. on hand.

Ma Chaonai went forward to receive the soldier's amulet, and hurried back to his residence to take the other half of the soldier's amulet for inspection. The two bronze busts merged into one, seamlessly stitched together.

Seeing this, Ma Chao was not in a hurry to return, but sat down and meditated:
"The soldier talisman is real, but how could the king be the one who dispatched troops at such a critical moment?

Although Baichengshuang and Lian Hongye are the same name, they have loved their father and daughter. With her ability, in order to save Lian Hongye, even if the king doesn't give him a military talisman, she may not be able to steal it.

Now she came to replace me on a horse, and she didn't even have a confidant of the king who could testify.Thinking about when the lord of the country asked me to be stationed here, he told me not to leave the city for half a step, how can the order be changed so casually now?Too many doubts!
Fortunately, the lord of the country has already returned to Hanye City, and the distance is not far away, so he stabilized General Shuang first, sent someone back to the city to confirm the news, and it would not be too late to leave. "
