The rain outside continued to fall ceaselessly, and the atmosphere inside the tent became increasingly solemn. Meng Shan, who had not yet been dragged out for a flogging, waited anxiously for Commander Zhang's reaction.

  Just then, an old man walked in from outside the account, who was a military doctor of the Zhonghu guard. The three people who had committed suicide by taking poison were sent to the doctor for examination to see if they could find out anything from the poison they had taken. Now this Wu surname old doctor just discovered something suspicious during the examination and came over to report.

  "Lao Wu, have you discovered something? But they swallowed the poison pill, who do you know is from where?" Tang Yun hastily asked.

  "It wasn't discovered on the poison, but when we were about to examine the body for toxicity, something was found on his body after undressing. That's why I need to report it to you, sir." Old Wu waved his hand and had the medical staff bring in the corpse.

  Only a middle-aged man with a dark complexion and ordinary face was carried into the account, Old Wu squatted down and lifted the deceased's clothes to point: "Sir, look, it is this thing, all three corpses have such marks on their left arms."

  A crowd rushed over to take a look, and on the left arm of the corpse was a white lotus flower the size of a coin. Some people didn't understand what it was, but the older ones changed their faces greatly, especially Tang Yun, who frowned tightly and stared at the white lotus flower.

  "Pass on my order, this is not to be made public, everyone should act as if they had never seen this symbol. Especially you, Old Wu, you must keep your subordinates' mouths shut. If anyone dares to leak the information out, they will be dealt with by military law." Tang Yun gave the order with a cold face.

  Young people like Zhu Neng and others didn't understand but also accepted the order calmly, while older ones nodded in agreement. Some of them knew what this sign represented, so they wouldn't speak out of turn.

  "Alright, you can all go down now. These bandits' corpses will be cremated on the spot." Tang Yun waved his hand to signal that everyone could retreat, he wanted to be alone in the tent to think and also needed to quickly report the White Lotus affair...

  "Zhang Zongqi, where did those thieves come from just now? Didn't you learn martial arts on Wudang Mountain? Can't you tell?" Just after killing the people, everyone returned to the fire pit to warm up again. Wang Ping couldn't help but ask out loud at this time.

  Zhang Feng furrowed his brow and shook his head, he didn't know what the other person's background was either. Moreover, since he only learned Wudang martial arts on Mount Wudang, how could he possibly recognize the bandits' moves?

  What Zhang Feng found strange was that the moves of these people seemed to have a familiar feel, their ruthless and venomous techniques he seemed to have encountered somewhere before, for a moment Zhang Feng fell into deep thought.

  "What's going on here... it's raining and there are still people kidnapping others, I'd say we're better off delivering them to the Heavenly Kingdom earlier so we can return to Beiping sooner."

  "Beiping... Beiping!" As soon as he heard the two words "Beiping", Zhang Feng suddenly responded, it was in Pinggu County near Beiping, on the North Mountain, that battle with that short and stout man, when that short and stout man used a similar ruthless and sinister technique to today's people, every move and style was aimed at taking the enemy's life.

  But the two are one in the north and one in the south, differing by thousands of miles, what connection is there between them, or is it just a coincidence, Zhang Feng had just escaped from one thought but fell into another.

  "Zhang, old brother! It's time to eat! Don't just sit here in contemplation!" Chen Hua slapped Zhang Feng awake. The other comrades had already left to get food, leaving only Zhang Feng sitting there alone. If Chen Hua hadn't come to call him, who knows how long Zhang Feng would have sat there by himself...

  At this time, in a large courtyard within Tongren County, which the army had just passed through, the leader of the group of people on the prisoner transport cart, a man with a straw rain cape and a masked face, was kneeling outside a room.

  "Master Xiang! We've brought the person!"

  "May be damaged..."

  "The brothers suffered more than 50 casualties, most of whom were forced to stay behind and cut off. Our side killed over 200 Ming troops, and I personally beheaded a Ming army captain."

  "Hum! Do you think this is a good achievement? Our soldiers are so precious, and yet we lost more than 50 men this time. Do you still have the face to be proud of yourself?! Go and receive thirty lashes as punishment, that's my warning to you!" The owner of the house only heard her voice but didn't see her person, however, judging from her tone, it was a woman.

  "Under me, Xiang Zhong thanks you for your great kindness. Under me, I will go and take the blame myself." The leader of the masked men surprisingly even thanked him before leaving.

  "Slow down! You go get that thing for me."

  "Yes!"

  Dari was still bewildered as he was led into the courtyard by the masked man, and he respectfully pushed open the door himself.

  At this time, Dariya had just been taken out of the sack. After being rescued from the prison car by these people, Dariya was knocked unconscious and stuffed back into the sack. He was jostled about for a long time before arriving here, only to be hastily led into this courtyard. Dariya didn't know who these people were or why they had saved him, but presumably it wasn't to kill him - that would have been more trouble than it was worth.

  "Outside is General Dari Maha of the Northern Yuan Yunnan Provincial Government." Just as Dari Maha was thinking, the host inside the house spoke up.

  "I am Da Yuan Xing Zhang Ping, not some Northern Yuan. Who are you, and why did you rescue me only to abduct me to this place?"

  "Alright, alright, no matter which branch you're from, in short, you're a descendant of the Dari tribe, right? You're also a bloodline of the Golden Family. If you return to the Northern Yuan Dynasty, I'm sure you'll be conferred with a royal title." The incense master chuckled and continued.

  "What's the big deal? Are you going to let me out of here and back to the grasslands or not?"

  "But what we want is to let you go back, and we will safely send you out of the Great Wall pass and to the grassland tribe to leave."

  "Oh? Really?" Dali was puzzled this time. This group of people had gone to great lengths to rescue themselves from the Ming army, only to send themselves back again. Such a good thing was like a pie falling from the sky, and he didn't dare imagine it.

  "Indeed, Madam's words are naturally as good as a royal decree. However... when you return to the Yuan court, you'll have to help us with something." The self-proclaimed madam, Xiang Zhu, wasn't doing this out of kindness either, and she had her own conditions.

  "Hum! I knew it, you wouldn't be so kind-hearted. Is this to get me to sacrifice myself for you? This is simply a wild fantasy!"

  "General, don't get angry yet, let me finish speaking. We will not only help you return to the Yuan court, but also help you grasp power within the Yuan court. The only requirement is that you maintain a hostile attitude towards the Ming dynasty and listen to our orders to attack the Ming when necessary. How about it? This deal can be considered fair." The lady smiled lightly and slowly stated the conditions.

  Dariya hesitated, his face uncertain. Helping himself return was tempting, and helping himself gain power was a huge advantage. As for opposing the Ming dynasty, that was inevitable; it was just a matter of whether to send troops at this necessary moment... Dariya hesitated here, unwilling to do something that would harm the Yuan dynasty for someone else's sake.

  "General, don't worry, the time for necessity has not yet arrived. Who knows, by then you might take action on your own without needing us to speak up." The lady seemed to have sensed Dalima's thoughts and spoke up to explain.

  "Alright... I agree, but I must return to the Yuanting immediately without any delay." Dariya gritted her teeth and agreed, but once she truly held power, whether or not she would listen to them was a different story altogether.

  "The general will leave whenever he wants to and we'll definitely send you back safely."

  Both parties have reached an agreement, and Daliya has changed from a prisoner with bound hands to the host of this family. He is just waiting for a little while before sending him back... Latest chapter please follow WeChat account: rdww444
