With only a general sense of direction and the traces left by the Wuchuan Town troops on the road last night, the few troops began to explore the wilderness.
In this empty place, apart from the green grass on the ground, there is only the sky above. There are no trees, and flocks of birds are rarely seen. Only the bravest predators will look for food in such a place without cover. For example, eagles flying in the unreachable deep sky, There are nomads who dominate this grassland.
At first, you will still feel that this kind of silence and vastness has a special sense of beauty. But as you live for a long time, you will begin to learn to be wary of the dangers hidden in this beauty, until you develop a kind of disgust from the heart, and then the so-called beauty will no longer exist. In an instant it was gone.
In the end, they will realize that the only nostalgia they have for this place of the Fourth War is because of the people they loved here, not because of how beautiful the scenery is and how special the customs are.
Now there is a group of men who are approaching the enemy camp openly and openly just to protect their lovers. The further west they walked, the colder the sunlight behind them became, and even the crisp ringing of the horse bell began to sound chilly and chilling.
Although the seven towns have always been under the banner of friendship and cooperation, their overt and covert struggles have never stopped. Nowadays, there is a trend of the six towns uniting. Yuyi Town, as the easternmost military town, is gradually isolated from the seven towns.
They climbed over several identical grassy slopes, and when they stood on the only highest point visible around them, they finally saw a military camp in front of them.
At this moment, Zhao Kuo couldn't help but look at the people behind him. Except for Bai Feng and Tuoba Yan, all the remaining six people were warriors brought by Tuoba brothers from Yuyi Town.
The six of them were all disciples who had just joined the Yuyi Zhao family, and were about to prove their abilities and loyalty with enthusiasm. Even this small number of people was not enough to change the situation.
"I know that you are eager to make contributions, but now that we are deep into the enemy camp, we must not act rashly!" Zhao Kuo then pointed to the direction they were walking in and said: "If you still want to go back alive, nothing can happen there. Do whatever you want, just follow my instructions.”
Everyone responded with their hands in hand.
After a while, several people moved to the east front military camp in Wuchuan Town. Standing in front of the camp gate were two ferocious golden-haired sentries taking a nap secretly. On both sides of the two men were dozens of feet of wooden fences, protecting the huge camp.
Taking advantage of the height of the terrain, there are also hidden sentries hidden in high-up sentry towers. Seeing the outsiders visiting, the secret sentries sounded the alarm one after another. The sentry who had been standing at the door of the camp half asleep immediately picked up a machete, blocked the door and asked.
"Isn't there only one person coming?"
"The second lady indeed said that."
"Then who are you?"
The leader of the young master was no weaker than the soldiers, and was even much stronger, but he still responded with his hands in an extremely humble manner: "Your Excellency, Zhao Kuo, I have heard recently that Major General He Ba often visits people from various places near Yuyi Town. It seems that the herdsmen passed by a place yesterday and took away a lot of things. I also heard that the reason was that one of my retainers accidentally offended Miss Heba Er, so I came here today to apologize. "
The two golden-haired boys looked at each other for a moment, and then one of them ran into the camp to deliver a message. A short time later, He Ba Yuer walked to the door aggressively, escorted by several boys, and looked at Zhao Kuo for a moment.
"Are you Zhao Kuo, the weak and incompetent waste that elder brother calls you?"
Zhao Kuo replied happily: "Miss He Ba, that was just a joke your brother made when he was young."
"That's true. If you dare to come here with that civilian swordsman, it proves that you are not a coward."
Facing He Ba Yu'er's lips and tongue, Zhao Kuo seemed to be taking a breath of fresh air, with no sign of anger at all.
"We come here to apologize to Miss Heba with sincerity. This matter is entirely my fault."
"Humph!" He Ba Yu'er sneered, and then led everyone into the camp.
Unexpectedly, the camp was very lively, and the soldiers were trying their best to get the "prizes" displayed on the wooden piles, pushing the enemies on the same stage to the bottom of the ring.
The so-called prizes are just the women they plundered last night, among which Ajuan and Lou Jinghua were placed in the most conspicuous positions.
Even though the two friends were suffering humiliation, the guests still had to force themselves to look stern, just because they were in the enemy camp and had no control over their fate.
As the leader of the generals, He Basheng kept stroking his wine and sat down to watch these wonderful sumo duels. When he saw his old friend coming, he couldn't help but feel happy in his heart. He hurriedly walked to Zhao Kuo and greeted him: "Zhao Kuo, I haven't seen you for a long time. You have grown a lot!"
"Brother He Ba, in recent years you have been able to call the shots and do anything!"
"Oh, I'm nothing like you. I obviously don't know any martial arts, but I can easily command so many talented people! For example, the swordsman who knocked my sister off the horse to the ground in front of all the soldiers that day."
As soon as he finished speaking, He Ba Yu'er jumped out from the side, not shy about standing between the two grown men and hindering their conversation and laughter, and said angrily: "Brother, you are still saying that you think I am not embarrassed enough. !”
"This, this is my fault, my fault! Hahaha..." He Basheng patted Zhao Kuo on the shoulder affectionately, and the two looked as close as brothers of the same clan.
Who would have known that they were actually two incompatible people in private.
The two sons of the He clan of the aristocratic family exchanged greetings for a few words, and then He Basheng began to ask aggressively: "By the way, aren't you here to ask for forgiveness? How can there be no thorns!"
After that, he stopped the sumo wrestling match that was going on, and then asked someone to bring a large bundle of wattle sticks, and then said: "Why, your men seem to be very unwilling!"
Then, under the supervision of two stout soldiers, the young swordsman took off his shirt, carried the thorn stick on his back, and then knelt angrily in front of He Ba Yu and said, "I am rude, and I did not intend to offend Miss He Ba." .”
Unexpectedly, He Bayu not only didn't appreciate it, but also made strong arguments and demanded to have another duel with Bai Feng on the ring in front of him. Only this time Bai Feng could draw the sword, but He Bayu chose not to use the sword and the stick, but a long whip made of thorns.
Legend has it that countless prisoners of war were tortured to death by He Bayu, and many of them suffered from her whipping. This long whip full of thorns is the best proof.
Now, she wanted to take this opportunity to vent her anger.
But in fact, if Bai Feng dares to draw the sword, he dare not say that his body will be dismembered immediately, but there is no way out; if Bai Feng chooses to endure it silently, he will suffer inhuman pain in person until he faints.
Choosing the latter would not only torture the young swordsman's body and will, but also trample on his dignity and morality. But if Bai Feng came alone as requested, he might not even have a chance to choose.
It is obvious that the person who is cruel and abusive is the other party, but he has to suffer the consequences!
In fact, he discovered much earlier that although there are axioms in this world, not everyone is willing to practice them. Now, in order to live to realize his dream, he has to become a person who ignores morality and justice.
In the end, he chose to endure the humiliation and bear the burden.
