Wu Beiwang carried Gu Xifeng to the prison. At this time, the village had returned to calm. No one in the Seven Killing Battalion could escape. Everyone was imprisoned again. Fortunately, no one was killed and only a few people suffered. Slightly injured.
Wu Beiwang glanced at the depressed people in the Seven Kills Camp, ignored them, and threw Gu Xifeng on the ground. Everyone felt cold again when they saw that Gu Xifeng had also been arrested.
Wu Beiwang walked out of the prison tent, gave a few instructions to a middle-aged man who looked like a captain, and walked straight to the village lobby.
After receiving the order, the captain immediately called several of his men, walked into the prison, and stuffed some medicine into the mouths of everyone in the prison. As members of the Seven Killing Battalion, everyone naturally knew that this medicine was Wangyousan, which makes people sleep, so There was no desperate resistance, and after a while, everyone fell asleep.
Wu Beiwang walked to the door of the lobby and said to the guard on duty outside the door: "Call all the deputy generals to discuss the matter in the lobby."
The guards took the order and left. Within the time of a cup of tea, there were five more people in the lobby. Lu Yuanzhi and Xue Jiuchang, who had fought against Gu Xifeng, were among them.
"Everyone, I have received important news, and it is also good news." Wu Beiwang said with a smile. He was in a good mood at this moment.
"Commander, what's the good news? Tell it quickly to make everyone happy." A tall and thin man said.
"I got the news about our Jin'an Crown Prince Chu Boping! The Crown Prince is now in Youzhou! My father is also with the Crown Prince!" Wu Beiwang stopped selling the lawsuit and went straight to the point.
There was a moment of silence, and everyone was shocked and speechless.
"Great!" A loud shout broke the calm, and the five people were overwhelmed with joy.
After eight years of traveling away from home, this group of people stayed anonymous and hid in Tibet just to avenge their homeland. This news gave them hope and the possibility of reviving their country.
"Commander, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and go to Youzhou to join the prince."
"I don't want to waste any more time and go find the Crown Prince to do something important."
"Revenge and restore the country. As long as His Royal Highness is here, the Jin'an Dynasty will still be there!"
Several people talked to Wu Beiwang, excitedly, with shining eyes.
"Okay, listen to me!" As soon as Wu Beiwang finished speaking, the five people stopped talking. The prestige of being the commander for many years is not a joke.
"Now that we have obtained the whereabouts of His Royal Highness, our counterinsurgency plan is now over. You immediately mobilize your troops to pack up and gather behind the stronghold. We will leave overnight!"
"I accept my order!" The five people said in unison and walked out of the lobby at the same time.
After receiving the order, the soldiers disguised as horse thieves gathered behind the village in an orderly manner, and the gathering was completed within a cup of tea.
Wu Beiwang looked at the team that was ready to go, nodded with satisfaction, stood in front of the team, and spoke majestically.
"My sons, this plan has been abandoned. We have to rush to Youzhou. The lieutenants will lead the team to retrieve the war horses. They will explain the reason to everyone on the way. Let's meet on the main road!"
"No!" Four to five hundred people shouted in unison, with astonishing momentum. Then the lieutenants took the soldiers away. Everything went on in an orderly manner, and no one raised a question.
Taking advantage of the darkness, on the main road of Top Mountain, a large group of cavalry came down the mountain and ran toward the southwest.
It happened to be a coincidence that after the turmoil, the monkey saw that none of the brothers and sisters escaped, and Gu Xifeng was nowhere to be found. The brothers and sisters in the village were already on alert when they made a fuss. He was also afraid that no one would report the news and no longer dared to explore the village, so he could only He anxiously reported the news to everyone at the foot of the mountain, but did not see the "horse thieves" leaving.
When the monkey arrived at the cave at the foot of the mountain where the Qishaying camp was temporarily stationed, Wu Beiwang's men had already left.
In the cave, most people had fallen asleep, and only a few people were on duty. Kakuzu and Kokoro were staring at the cave entrance with worry at the moment. When they saw the monkey, they both breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
"Houzai, how are you? What's going on now?" Jiao urgently pulled the monkey to his side and asked.
"The good news is that the missing and captured senior brothers and sisters are all being held in the stockade. Their lives are not in danger. Even the stolen property of the Beichu caravan is also there."
"As expected, the true identity of this group of people is by no means simple. Their purpose is to provoke a dispute between the two countries." Jiao clenched his fists, his eyes flashed, and he was a little excited.
"There is still bad news." Monkey's words were like a basin of cold water poured on Jiao's head, making him feel much calmer.
"I rescued everyone after I sneaked in, but only Xifeng and I had the ability to come out. The other senior brothers and sisters asked us to leave first. After the two of us came out, Xifeng asked me to help outside, and he went back on his own."
"He never came out after he went in. I'm afraid he was caught again. Those brothers and sisters also tried to break out, but no one succeeded. At this time, we have already alerted the snake. It is too risky for me to go in again, so I came back to pass on the information first. .”
"Houzai, you did the right thing. Your information is very important. Since they didn't kill anyone before, Xifeng and the others should not be in danger now."
"Let me think about it." Jiao held his chin and fell into deep thought. Monkey and Xin didn't dare to disturb him and waited quietly beside him.
"Let's do this. I'll go to Ningguan City to bring some reinforcements. I'll take everyone with you to explore near the opponent's camp with Houzai. Be careful not to act rashly before I come back. If you are discovered, go back first and don't fight forcefully."
Jiao woke everyone up, briefly explained the current situation, and then left alone. Everyone also led Xin to the camp where Gu Xifeng and others were imprisoned.
When everyone cautiously arrived near the stockade, everyone felt something strange. The stockade was eerily quiet at the moment, without a trace of movement. Except for the members of the Seven Kills Battalion, only some small animals that got up early to look for food ran past in a panic.
"Something is wrong here, Monkey, was it like this when you left?" Xin frowned and asked in confusion.
"Senior Sister Xin, the situation now is completely different from what I saw before. These guys won't find us and hide us." Monkey is also confused about the changes in the village.
"Just wait and see what happens. Everyone, brace yourself and be ready to take action at any time!" Xin made a gesture to everyone, and everyone found a bunker to hide.
After about an hour of burning incense, nothing happened, and the monkey quietly came to my heart.
"Senior sister, spending so much time is not an option. I will go to the village to check. If there is really an ambush, even if I are captured, I can give you a warning." Monkey came to Xin's side and said softly.
After hesitating for a moment, he finally agreed to Monkey's suggestion. Monkey went to the village alone. Watching Monkey's leaving figure, the members of the Seven Kills Battalion present were a little worried.
Monkey was very cautious, hiding his whereabouts every step he took. When he walked into the prison where Gu Xifeng and others were imprisoned, a long time had passed, but he did not encounter any obstacles along the way.
When he rescued everyone and returned to Xin and others, Xin was stunned.
"What's happening here?!"
"I didn't encounter any obstacles along the way, and there was no trace of the group of horse thieves in the village."
"Xifeng, do you know what's going on?" Xin turned to look at the rescued people, hoping to get answers from them.
"I returned to the village again to meet everyone, but I was so unlucky that I bumped into that powerful master. I was knocked unconscious when I met him. I don't know anything about what happened next." Gu Xifeng shook his head, eyes With a look of confusion.
No one doubted Gu Xifeng's words. After hearing Gu Xifeng's words, the monkey's eyebrows moved slightly, as if he noticed something.
"After the failed breakout, the guards fed us Wangyousan. We all fell asleep and had no idea what happened next." The older senior brother said.
"Have these people already left? You guys take a rest here, and the Xingxiu guards will go explore around again. I'll go to the village and have another look."
Then the seven Constellation Guards galloped away in different directions.
After about an hour of burning incense, the Xingxiu guards returned one after another.
"There is no one, but I found some traces of where the horses stayed, but I didn't find a single horse."
"It seems that this group of people has really left. I went to the village to check carefully. They didn't leave any luggage behind."
Now that it was safe, everyone found many wheelbarrows in the stockade and took away the belongings of the Beichu caravan stored in the prison.
Everyone went down the mountain and came to the place where the carriages and horses were hidden. They moved the goods to the prepared carriages. They got on their horses and headed towards Ningguan City in a mighty manner.
On the road from Top Mountain to Ningguan City, they met Jiao who was leading a large group of cavalry. After informing Jiao of the situation, the two teams returned to Ningguan City together.
After returning to Ningguan City, Ningguan Guard General Xue Ding came to greet everyone in person. After transferring the belongings of the Beichu caravan to the Ningguan Guards, the mission of the Seven Kills Battalion was completed.
Xue Ding sent out elite scouts from the army to search for traces of the horse thieves, but found nothing. Wu Beiwang and others had already broken into pieces and rushed to the border of Youzhou.
Xue Ding immediately rushed the official document 800 miles away to the capital of Taichu, leaving the matter to His Majesty for decision.
After solving the matter, Xue Ding also felt relieved. He held a banquet in the evening and entertained everyone in the Seven Kills Battalion. After having a good meal and wine, he arranged for everyone to rest in the best inn in Ningguan City.
Early the next morning, a group of cranes descended from the sky, and almost all the members of the Seven Kills Battalion were picked up, leaving Gu Xifeng and Monkey alone.
They were assigned new tasks.
"Huang Xin is too unreasonable and won't let anyone rest for a moment."
"Just treat it as an experience. Doing missions is more comfortable than being tortured by Huang Xin every day in the Seven Kills Camp."
"That's true." Monkey agreed. Monkey suddenly thought of something and his expression darkened.
"Xifeng, tell me the truth. Does the departure of this group of people have something to do with you? If you went to pick them up the night before yesterday, you can tell me directly. But what you said was to do something. What can you do in the village? ." Monkey stared at Gu Xifeng with a serious face.
Gu Xifeng was stunned, and then he realized that he had underestimated Monkey's insight. Gu Xifeng fell silent, and Monkey didn't speak anymore, waiting for Gu Xifeng's answer.
After a while, Gu Xifeng seemed to have made a decision.
"Monkey, you once told me that you were from Jin'an. What I can tell you now is that the group of people are all real Jin'an people. The leader is named Wu Beiwang."
Gu Xifeng's answer was completely beyond Monkey's expectations, and he naturally knew Wu Beiwang's name.
"The former deputy commander Hu Ben?" Monkey murmured.
Gu Xifeng didn't say anything more and walked towards the horse. The monkey seemed to have caught something in his heart, but it didn't seem to be there. When he saw Gu Xifeng leaving, he hurriedly chased after him.
Only then did he realize that his good brother who got along day and night was not that simple.
…
A strange thing happened in the Taichu court. Many death row prisoners were secretly executed in advance, and their heads were missing.
When the January period came, Taichu not only found the lost property of the Beichu caravan, but also killed all the thieves who had committed murder and swindled goods, and handed over more than 300 heads to Beichu.
The Northern Chu court apologized for having wronged the Taichu Dynasty and compensated many horses. Peace was restored on the border between the two dynasties, and a dispute was resolved peacefully.
