Long Yu led the army directly out of Suzhou and passed through Qinghe Town.
Along the way, Long Yu carefully sent out all the scouts. These scouts were scattered everywhere, and every time a stick of incense was burned, news from various sources would reach Long Yu.
"Is there no news at all?" Long Yu frowned and looked around: "We have been out of Suzhou for a while, how could there be no news? Where have all the soldiers and armor around us gone? Could it be that we haven't found any news at all? Mobilizing troops and horses?"
"My lord, I didn't see any troop movements along the way, and every county and village was as usual, with only some troops stationed."
Long Yu frowned: "Where are the city defenses in the counties along the way?"
"There are no changes in the city defense, except that the entry inspections have become more stringent."
Long Yu slowly stopped his horse: "Besides, there is no more news?"
"there is none left."
Long Yu was stunned and couldn't help laughing: "Everyone, it seems that the news about Feiniaodu has not been leaked at all!"
A military general with a dark red face next to him couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief: "My lord, you are right! If the imperial court really wanted to attack us, martial law would have been enforced in the surrounding area."
"Everywhere we go along the way seems to be lined up to welcome us, at least it can be seen that these places are still very supportive of us. Sir, I guess it will be no problem for us to just go straight to the border with such swagger!"
Long Yu also secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "Where is the front?"
"Hulukou. After passing Hulukou and going forward is Qinghe Town."
Long Yu glanced at the sky, his eyes narrowed slightly: "Let me know, everyone will pass through the gourd mouth before dark!"
Eighty thousand soldiers and horses suddenly accelerated and galloped towards the front.
Long Yu galloped into the gourd's mouth. He raised his head slightly and looked at the not-so-steep cliffs on both sides, his eyes wary: "Notify me and increase the distance of travel! Wait for the leading troops to pass before entering later!"
The 80,000 soldiers and horses immediately changed their formation and slowly passed through the gourd mouth.
When the leading troops passed through Hulukou safely, Long Yu breathed a sigh of relief: "Go forward!"
The army slowly walked into the canyon.
When the soldiers and horses were traveling to the middle, they suddenly heard the rapid sound of horse hooves behind them. Then, thousands of officers and soldiers appeared behind them: "Enemy attack!"
A loud chant made Long Yu's expression change drastically, but the army in Hulukou had no time to change its formation.
"Anti-enemy!"
Thousands of soldiers and horses behind him turned around in an instant and directly stopped and killed him.
"General Long Yu, please wait a moment!"
Among the crowd, a general wearing armor emerged from the crowd. He raised his hands towards Long Yu who was riding on horseback and said, "Don't get me wrong, sir. We are soldiers and horses from the direction of Luochuan. We have taken the order of the eldest princess to escort you away." Suzhou."
After speaking, the general presented the token and troop deployment to Long Yu. Long Yu glanced at it and said intentionally or unintentionally: "Since it is an escort, why did you arrive at this time?"
The general smiled awkwardly: "I thought there would be no danger along the way, so I wasted some time."
Long Yu couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the general was only wearing a sword, and that the soldiers following behind him were not wearing crossbows or halberds. Even if they were surprised, they could be killed instantly.
Long Yu smiled: "Go back and tell General Chen that we have arrived at Hulukou safely. I will truthfully report to the eldest princess the success of this escort."
A look of gratitude appeared on the general's face: "Thank you so much, General Long."
Watching the men and horses turn and leave, Long Yu frowned slightly. He always felt that something was wrong, but when he really thought about it, he didn't know what went wrong.
The soldiers and horses slowly passed through the gourd mouth, and Long Yu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Sir, after leaving Hulukou, Qinghe Town is fifty miles ahead."
Long Yu listened to the report, his eyes flashing.
"Sir, should we go directly south or north?"
Long Yu looked forward with slightly narrowed eyes. If Long Xiao was not dead, he would at least have a think tank, but there was no one to discuss it at the moment.
Long Yu moved his fingers slightly: "Go north!"
The 80,000-strong army moved forward slowly, and the sky gradually became dark.
When Long Yu's soldiers and horses passed through the gourd mouth, a goshawk flew directly into the sky and headed towards Qinghe Town.
Night falls slowly.
The torches lit by 80,000 soldiers and horses instantly lit up the night sky, like a long dragon.
"Send the order, we have to hurry up and try to pass through Qinghe Town before it gets dark!"
For some reason, Long Yu's heart suddenly became nervous.
In the dark night, a shrill scream suddenly came from the front, followed by countless figures with disheveled hair and blood-stained white clothes emerging from the dark night.
This scene directly frightened everyone who was advancing.
Long Yu's expression changed slightly: "Who is pretending to be a ghost?"
The men in white clothes in front made sounds like ghosts and wolves howling: "Long Yu, take your life!"
"Long Yu, I want you to pay with your life!"
These cries of ghosts and howls made Long Yu's expression slightly change: "Who among you dare to block my way?"
"Long Yu, accept your fate!"
Long Yu's face was gloomy and he slowly raised his palms. The soldiers behind him bent their bows and shot directly.
Those ghostly figures in white disappeared laughing and joking.
Long Yu snorted: "It's a small trick, just pretending to be a ghost!"
Seeing these people leaving quickly, Long Yu's face suddenly darkened.
"Sir, where did these people come from?"
The eyes of several generals were dull.
A sneer appeared at the corner of Long Yu's lips: "It's not about their origins. They should be members of the Wolf Guard."
"Wolf Guard?"
Everyone's expressions changed drastically, everyone knew what this meant.
If they are really from the Wolf Guard, it means that everything about them has been known to Liu Yijin.
"Sir, we seem to have been ambushed!"
Long Yu raised his hands, and the soldiers and horses behind him lined up directly.
At the same time, the sound of soldiers and horses moving in unison was heard all around.
"General Long Yu, long time no see!"
Long Yu turned around, and a group of soldiers and horses suddenly appeared in front of him on the left, and in front of him on the right, another group of soldiers and horses appeared, and behind Long Yu, a group of soldiers and horses also came out slowly,
Long Yu looked at the three generals and said with a faint smile: "I don't know why the three generals are here. I remember that the generals have told us that the troops and horses in our four towns need to change their defenses."
"Besides, Maitreya Buddhism is so rampant now, shouldn't you be hunting down Maitreya Buddhism people everywhere?"
General Zhou Xuan rode out and looked at Long Yu calmly: "General Long Yu, don't get me wrong, we are just following orders."
"By whose order?"
"Of course it's the general's order!"
Long Yu looked at Zhou Xuan with cold eyes: "The general's order? Is it Liu Yijin?"
"What else?" Zhou Xuan raised his hand indifferently. The fire behind him and the dark soldiers made Long Yu's eyes change slightly.
"Zhou Xuan, what do you mean?"
"Long Yu, stop pretending now. Your identity as a Maitreya Buddhist has been confirmed. If you know the truth, you should get off your horse and surrender as soon as possible."
"That's nonsense!" Long Yu's eyes were cold: "Zhou Xuan, don't stop talking nonsense here."
Elsewhere, General Wu Jiang's eyes were cold: "Long Yu, Zhou Xuan, Zhang Peng and I are waiting for you here. I think you must have some reason."
"To tell you the truth, this Qinghe Town is your end."
The military commander next to Long Yu had a ferocious look in his eyes: "Sir, although there are three armies, it seems that each of them only has 10,000 troops. If we charge directly, we can break out."
Long Yu slowly shook his head: "The three of them are just chickens and dogs in front of us. What I want to wait for is not their attitude, but Liu Yijin."
"Liu Yijin, come out!"
Long Yu's voice was loud and his eyes were sharp.
On the official road ahead, dozens of torches suddenly appeared, and then Liu Yijin, dressed in white, rode out, followed by dozens of black-clad wolf guards.
Long Yu's eyes were cold: "The general eliminates dissidents so quickly. Isn't it too ugly?"
Long Yu glanced around and couldn't help but sneer in his heart. The total number of people in the four directions did not exceed 40,000. With 40,000 against his 80,000 personal troops, was Liu Yijin a fool or a bold man?
What Long Yu didn't expect was that Liu Yijin made no other moves at all, but said with a smile; "Whether it is excluding dissidents or eliminating Maitreya Buddhism, does General Long Yu have to give me an explanation?" '
Long Yu looked at Liu Yijin solemnly. There seemed to be no direct evidence in his words, otherwise he would not be so polite to him.
Seeing that Long Yu didn't speak, Liu Yijin knew that the mind attack technique had initially achieved results.
"General Long, according to the wolf guard's report, your subordinate Zhang Mang is a member of the Maitreya Buddhism. Moreover, when the wolf guard attacked Feiniaodu, it was also discovered that several of Zhang Mang's subordinates were members of the Maitreya Buddhism. Zhang Mang is from Suzhou. Tuan Lian envoy, but your subordinates, don’t you want to say something today?”
Liu Yijin's words made Zhang Mang relieved. He originally thought that Liu Yijin would question him directly, but it seemed that the other party had no direct evidence.
"Sir, Maitreya Buddhism is mysterious. No one can guarantee that all the people around you are clean. Didn't you think that your immediate boss was Maitreya Buddhism before clearing the rebellion of Zhang Bing and others in the imperial capital? Isn't it like this? There are times when the characters are misguided. Ever since I served as the training envoy of the Suzhou regiment, in order to quickly recruit troops and to be able to complete the tasks assigned by the eldest princess, I have indeed recruited heroes from all over the world. Although Zhang Mang is my subordinate, I have been stationed in Suzhou for a long time. I don’t understand many things very well, and if you think that I am also a person of Maitreya Buddhism, then I have nothing to say today.”
After Long Yu finished speaking, he dropped the sword in his hand to the ground: "If you don't believe me, you can arrest me now."
Long Yu's move shocked everyone.
The expressions of the generals following him changed slightly, and they were all extremely anxious.
Long Yu turned around and coughed heavily: "Why, don't you even listen to what I say?"
The generals immediately dropped their weapons on the ground, and the 80,000 soldiers behind them all lowered their weapons.
"Sir, we voluntarily put down our weapons and ask you to find out the truth and restore our innocence to Suzhou!"
Behind Long Yu, a young-looking general couldn't help but hum: "That's right, we followed General Long through life and death, hunting and killing people of Maitreya Buddhism. Now the adults will doubt us because of the villain's words. I don't accept it!"
"We ask you to give us Suzhou a clean slate!"
"Yes, we demand that you restore our innocence!" The roar of 80,000 soldiers and horses sounded like muffled thunder in all directions.
At this moment, even Liu Yijin, who had already planned it, couldn't help but narrow his eyes. This Long Yu is not simple.
