Volume 9: Unpredictable Winds and Clouds Chapter 250: Return One

  The next day, at the place where Zhang Zihua and others rested, it became lively again.

  Hundreds of fine cavalrymen are patrolling here, their riding skills are exquisite, their movements are agile, and their discipline is strict. They are obviously a veteran elite troop who have experienced the baptism of war.

  "How is it?" asked Bao Diao.

  "The young masters are searching, and there will be news soon." Qian Zhi said in a low voice.

  A hint of embarrassment appeared on his face: "Unexpectedly, they were so slippery, and for such a long time, not even one was seen alive."

  Kuai Zhi's face turned red, this pursuit action was actually led by the brave warriors of the Jie tribe, and the heavy responsibility of commanding naturally fell on him. Di Duo was just following the army, coordinating the relationship between the garrison troops in various places for him.

  Fortunately, he had a noble identity, although not a prince, but as the only son of Hami, his status was much more honorable than that of ordinary princes. As a result, all kinds of supplies were constantly available along the way, and there was never any difficulty or deduction, making Kan Zhi look on with envy.

  Zhang Zihua's troops were not numerous, and the claim of three thousand was absolutely absurd. After several interceptions, they had already received accurate information.

  Qian Zhi had strong confidence that as long as they were allowed to catch up, they would definitely be able to wipe out this group of Han people.

  However, despite his confidence, he has not seen even a shadow of the enemy until now. If it were not for those garrison troops who had clashed with the enemy several times, they would still be uncertain whether there was such an army fleeing on the road.

  Sly as a fox, this is the true evaluation given by the two new heroes of the grasslands to this troop.

  Under Zhang Zihuas leadership, they were like a mourning dog, picking out the weak points of the Xiongnu defenses in the north and biting hard before quickly withdrawing.

  This tactic was originally the most skilled and favorite of the Xiongnu people, but at this time, they both hated the person who invented this tactic.

  It wasn't until then that Ziduo deeply felt the helplessness of the Han people at the time.

  What's even more frustrating for them is that no matter how big their net is, this group of people can always find the loopholes in it. They either break through with force or sneak past quietly, and they can always escape just before they close the net.

  If they said that there were no traitors among the troops stationed in various places, they would not believe it even if they died. It's just that at this point, they are helpless. After all, they are not Jiang Kongming, and they can't tell who is pretending to surrender and who is sincere.

  Fortunately, after many days of siege, this army was forced to the point where they were exhausted and had no room for maneuver. They could only gradually move northward, and today, they were finally forced to the border between the two countries, and going further north would be the territory of the Xiongnu.

  His fists clenched tightly, his heart was filled with excitement, and a sinister smile spread across his face. There, on the vast grassland, he would soon fulfill his long-held wish. Among that group of Han people, except for leaving one Liu Zhengqi behind, he wanted to personally strangle every single one of them to death.

  "General... another body has been found."

  The orderly's call pulled Kan from his reverie and he raised an eyebrow, saying: "How did he die?"

  "Died from severe injuries."

  "Where's the body?"

  "Buried deep underground."

  Kuang Zhi nodded slowly and said, "It seems that they have stayed here for a while, and it's not a short time."

  Many eyes gazed forward and said, "They should know that this is the border line. Going further ahead would be our territory."

  "Yes, we'll keep chasing, and soon we'll catch up with them." Qian Zhi's voice was filled with excitement that couldn't be concealed.

  "For some reason, I suddenly had a sense of foreboding in my heart."

  "What?" Khan stared at him strangely, when did this prairie tiger also start to believe in that vague and elusive premonition.

  The voice gradually became heavy, as if there was a thousand pounds on it: "I'm afraid Liu Zhengqi has used the Golden Cicada Shell Escape Technique again."

  He was taken aback, his excited spirit suddenly calmed down as if he had been drenched with a basin of ice water. He muttered to himself: "Impossible, this team has at least two confirmed members, Zhang Zihua and Liu Zhengzhong, would Liu Zhengqi be willing to sacrifice these two people?"

  "I don't know." He sighed heavily: "I just hope it won't happen."

  "General, it's been found out." The orderly reported back in a timely manner.

  "Where did they go?"

  "He went northwest."

  "Northwest?" Guan Zhi exclaimed in surprise.

  They exchanged a glance with each other, and their eyes were filled with an extremely sharp and fierce expression.

  "The northwest is desert." Zuo said coldly.

  "Hey......" Qian Zhi angrily clenched his fist and swung it heavily, as if to vent the strong discontent in his heart.

  "Brother Qianzhi, what do you plan to do?"

  Kuang Zhi gripped the reins tightly in his hand, and the veins on his fists bulged due to excessive force. He said fiercely: "Continue the pursuit."

  Duoduo nodded silently, the main force responsible for intercepting had already left. If Liu Zhengqi was really not in this team, then he must have escaped long ago. At this time, turning back to search would be a futile effort.

  If they were wrong in their estimation and Liu Zhengqi was indeed among this group, but they gave up and let him escape, then for the rest of their lives they would never be able to hold their heads high again.

  So continuing to pursue is now their only choice.

  "Brother, on the road south, we have set up checkpoints. Even if Liu Zhengqi is not here, it's not necessarily possible to escape safely." Zhi Duo knew his mood at this time and persuaded him.

  "I hope so." Gao Zhi said with a bitter smile, but in his heart, he didn't have the slightest confidence.

  He let out a long sigh, and based on the abilities of those Han people who had surrendered, wanting to capture Liu Zhengqi... He slightly shook his head, throwing this absurd idea to the back of his mind.

  ※※※※

  A cloud of dust rose, and more than a dozen riders galloped swiftly towards Wulong City.

  A young guard outside the city gate held a long spear and shouted: "Dismount, traveler!"

  The oncoming rider pulled the reins, and under his crotch, a divine steed let out a long whinny. He stood up high and rose to his feet, and with a loud crash, he heavily trampled down with his front hooves, producing a huge sound.

  The young man's face showed a hint of fear, who was this person, with such great power.

  "Are you new here?" The knight on horseback asked abruptly with a sweat-soaked bandana covering his face.

  "What?"

  "Are you a new recruit?" A lazy voice came from behind the knight on horseback, another man drove his horse forward, also with a sweat towel covering his face.

  The young guard involuntarily said, "Yes." Then he came to his senses, his face flushing bright red. He took a step back, stood at attention with his spear, and said, "I am under orders from the Surveillance Commissioner to guard the city gate. No matter who you are, you must leave your name behind. Otherwise, you will not be allowed to take one step into the city."

  "Is that so... Do you know that this young master is from a noble family, and with just one word, he can have your head on a platter? Are you still not letting go?" Later, the knight first let out a cold laugh, then sternly rebuked.

  The young man saw the group of people so powerful, and he had already believed in his heart. However, his face changed color, but he still didn't back down: "The inspector's strict order, subordinates dare not disobey, if you don't dismount to accept inspection again, I'll sound the horn."

  The two knights on horseback looked at each other and, surprisingly, did not show any sign of blame, but instead were filled with relief.

  "Second Tiger, return at once! You will not be rude!" A panicked cry came from behind the new recruit, and a hundred-man commander rushed out of the city.

  Someone ran up to those knights, one knee bent, knelt down on the ground and said loudly: "Greetings, General."

  Xu Haifeng lifted the towel from his head and said, "No need for formalities, get up."

  Jiang Kongming beside him also took off the object covering his head, saying: "Who is in charge of the city's defense army?"

  That hundred-man-long did not dare to raise his head, prostrated himself on the ground and said: "It is Inspector Ge, sir."

  Xu and Jiang exchanged a bewildered glance. When they left the Western camp, the news they heard was extremely unfavorable to Ge Hao's sword. How did it change in just a few days, as if a heaven-reversing and earth-overturning change had occurred?

  "We will go into the city on our own, you all continue here, no need to make a fuss." Jiang Gongming instructed.

  "A series of voices came out from the mouth of the hundred-year-old man, he originally thought that Erhuang had offended these two big men and would surely lose his life, and himself would also be deeply implicated, but unexpectedly they didn't mention this matter at all, and he was overjoyed in his heart."

  Xu Haifeng and others rushed in, the hundred people who had been knocked to the ground got up, and with a loud slap on Erhu's face, he cursed: "You blind thing, don't you even recognize the 'Dark Cloud' of the city master?"

  The two tigers were hit by his palm and saw stars, but they didn't dare to dodge or retort, they just stood up straight with a stubborn expression.

  That hundred people were still waiting to continue drinking and scolding, when they suddenly heard the sound of horseshoes behind them again. He turned his head to look, and his face instantly turned pale. It turned out that Xu Haifeng had returned, staring at him with a fierce gaze in his eyes.

  He felt a pang in his heart, thinking to himself that he still couldn't escape after all.

  Unexpectedly, Xu Haifeng did not scold him, but instead jumped off his horse and walked in front of Erhu.

  Two tigers raised their heads and puffed out their chests, looking at each other calmly, but with high swelling on their faces, they couldn't help but look a bit comical.

  Xu Haifeng patted him on the shoulder with his hand, and a strong inner force revitalized his blood circulation.

  Two tigers suddenly pounced, caught off guard, and suddenly felt a severe pain, involuntarily letting out a painful cry, then immediately gritted his teeth and endured it, no longer making a sound.

  "With a thud", that hundred-man-long row of people suddenly knelt down, saying loudly: "The city master is kind and compassionate, it's all due to the subordinate's improper management, please be merciful."

  Xu Haifeng smiled slightly and withdrew his inner force, and the two tigers suddenly felt a cool and comfortable sensation on their faces. Although the redness had not dissipated, they were much more comfortable now.

  "Who is he to you?"

  "It's my uncle."

  Xu Haifeng nodded and said, "Your uncle cares about you deeply, don't blame him."

  "Hmm..." The two tigers nodded heavily.

  Xu Haifeng's hand patted a few times on his shoulder, without using any internal force, and Erhu stood up straight with his sturdy body, as if he didn't notice.

  "You didn't disappoint me either." Xǔ Hǎifēng said loudly.

  Two tigers opened their big mouths, and didn't know how to answer.

  When Xu Haifeng rode away on his horse, the two tigers were still standing in place. In their minds, they were still echoing the words that Xu Haifeng had said before he left.

  "Keep working hard, I look forward to one day seeing your name among the ranks of generals."
