After vomiting nothing more, the monkey finally straightened up, took the water glass handed to him by Gu Xifeng, and took a sip of the water.
"Xifeng, the feeling of killing is really hard to describe." Monkey took a few deep breaths and adjusted his breathing before saying.
Without waiting for Gu Xifeng to answer, Monkey said again: "Do you think Huang Xin is torturing us on purpose? In less than a month, we will have traveled all over Yingzhou." Monkey curled his lips, his face full of dissatisfaction.
"Who calls him our master and our commander? Besides, these experiences are very exciting. Do you want to continue to live under Huang Xin's guidance?" Gu Xifeng recalled all the recent events with emotion.
"I don't want to! It's good to keep running around. I don't know when the next mission will come." The monkey shrank his neck, feeling chilled when he thought of Huang Xin's careful teaching.
Coincidentally, as soon as the monkey finished speaking, a homing pigeon swooped down at an extremely fast speed and landed directly next to the two of them.
This homing pigeon is all white, without a trace of hair. It is as big as two adult pigeons. Its huge wings are full of power, and its speed is two or three times that of ordinary homing pigeons.
This kind of homing pigeon is a pigeon specially bred by Xinghe Sect to deliver messages and release missions.
"Damn it, the mission comes as soon as it comes. Even at the speed of this thing, it will take four or five hours to fly from the Galaxy Sect. This old boy Huang Xin has been prepared for a long time. It really doesn't let anyone rest for a moment." Monkey grabbed it Live as a homing pigeon, and the pigeon doesn't struggle, just letting the monkey manipulate it.
"Let me see what the mission is this time."
The monkey gently took off the paper roll from the pigeon's leg and opened it. He stood there with a strange expression and didn't speak for a long time.
Gu Xifeng waved his hand in front of the monkey's eyes and asked doubtfully: "Why are you so confused? What is written in the letter?"
Only then did the monkey react, turned the note around, and showed the content to Gu Xifeng.
Gu Xifeng also stared at the content of the letter with a puzzled face, and saw only two words on the note - return to the clan!
"Let's go back now. Huang Xin must have bad intentions. Why do I smell a conspiracy?"
The monkey put the carrier pigeon on the ground. When the carrier pigeon saw that the letter had been taken away, it flapped its wings happily and flew away. In the blink of an eye, it disappeared.
"The soldiers will stop us, and the water will cover us. We have completed the task quite well during this period. At least Huang Xin will not punish us." Gu Xifeng gently patted the monkey on the shoulder and spoke calmly.
"I hope so." Monkey was still a little worried.
At this time, it was already dawn, and the two of them arrived at the City Lord's Mansion in Xiaofeng City. After retaking the city, the City Lord's Mansion naturally became a temporary command post, and Li Jihai took up residence here.
Seeing that the visitors were Gu Xifeng and Hou Xiang, Vice General Li walked up to the courtyard and shook hands with them warmly, in sharp contrast to his previous attitude.
"Two young heroes, you two are indispensable for the success of the city's destruction of the city and the suppression of the bandits. I will faithfully record your two achievements in the battle report and submit it to Your Majesty. Your Majesty's reward will definitely not be less!"
Li Jihai patted his chest and promised.
He himself is also very happy. For the successful retaking of Xiaofeng City, he, the commander-in-chief, will naturally be promoted and make a fortune, and the tide will rise.
"General Li, the two of us are here to say goodbye. We can't help much with the aftermath of Xiaofeng City. The sect has sent another letter ordering us to go back. We will immediately set off back to the Galaxy Sect." Gu Xifeng said gently.
"Are you so anxious?" Li Jihai stroked his beard and frowned. Just when he was about to continue speaking, a soldier hurriedly entered the gate of the city lord's palace and ran to Li Jihai and saluted.
"Report! The preliminary statistics of casualties in the city have been completed." The soldier took out a piece of information.
"Listen to me!" Li Jihai's good mood disappeared at this moment, and his face became serious.
"Yes!" After hearing the order, the soldier quickly opened the information and read out the information loudly.
"In this campaign, our army killed 235 soldiers, seriously injured 182 people, wiped out 1,146 bandits, and captured 34 people including the enemy leaders. .”
After reading this, Li Jihai was still calm. The number of casualties was within his acceptance range. The sword had no eyesight. Unless the enemy was too weak, he had never heard of a battle without casualties under normal circumstances.
"The people in Xiaofeng City suffered heavy casualties. More than half of the city's 60,000 people died. The exact number is still being counted."
Li Jihai stepped forward to take the information from the soldier and looked at it carefully in disbelief, as if the numbers on the information would change after he read it.
With a "pop" sound, Li Jihai threw the information to the ground.
"These beasts!" At this time, Li Jihai's eyes were about to burst into flames.
"Somebody come!"
Immediately, several soldiers who looked like guards came forward.
"Pass me an order to torture the captured bandits severely before escorting them to Beijing. Give me the cruelest instruments of torture. Don't kill them. Death is not that easy. I want to report to Your Majesty. These beasts must have been delayed!" Li Jihai ordered angrily, and several people followed the order and left.
Li Jihai calmed down a little, signaled the soldier who was reading out the information to step back, and turned to look at Gu Xifeng and the other two.
"You two young heroes, I am a little rude. Damn it, these thieves are so inhumane. In just a few days, tens of thousands of people were killed in the city. It is really a heinous crime." Li Jihai still felt a little bit when he said this. Gritting teeth.
"General Li's concern for the people is a blessing to the people. The general still needs to act calmly. The aftermath of Xiaofeng City still needs to be decided by the general." Gu Xifeng stepped forward to persuade.
"That's natural. Are the two young heroes really going to leave? What will you do with your majesty's reward when it comes?"
"We will leave immediately. If the Taichu court really has a reward, please ask the general to donate it to the people of Xiaofeng City on our behalf."
Although Li Jihai was dissatisfied with Gu Xifeng's behavior of not calling his Majesty, after all, the Xinghe Sect had its own system in the Taichu Dynasty, and he was a hero, so there was really no need for him to pursue this kind of issue.
"Young hero is indeed benevolent and righteous." Li Jihai praised him with a raised hand.
"Come here, prepare the best horses for the two young heroes and send them out of the city!"
Soon, two soldiers brought four war horses and handed the reins of two of the more handsome horses to Gu Xifeng and the other two.
"I need to deal with the whole city's affairs here now. I really can't get away, so I won't send you far away." Li Jihai said apologetically.
After saying goodbye to Li Jihai, the four of them boarded their horses and galloped towards the city gate. At this time, almost every household in the city hung white lanterns and mourning flags, and the entire town was shrouded in white, making it look particularly desolate.
However, Gu Xifeng also discovered that some families had not confessed and had no movement. He suspected that these families had been wiped out by thieves. Thinking of this, the sadness in his heart became even heavier.
Three days later, in the Xinghe Sect's Seventh Killing Hall, Huang Xin looked at the two dusty disciples in front of him, smiling and saying nothing.
After a while.
"Master, you are so creepy that you just smile and don't talk. Why did you call us two back?" Monkey was offended by Huang Xin and said.
"How does it feel to kill people? I read the intelligence said that you two have killed hundreds of pirates. How about it? Are you enjoying it?" Huang Xin's smile became wider, with a joking tone in his tone.
"It doesn't feel good. Lives are falling in my hands one after another, and scarlet blood is sprinkled on my body. There is always a feeling of uneasiness lingering in my heart that won't go away for a long time." Gu Xifeng answered truthfully.
"Of course it's not good. I almost vomited out the gall. It's quite satisfying. I'm not a pervert. How can I enjoy killing people?" Monkey also said. Thinking of the bloody scene, his stomach began to feel uncomfortable again.
"It's not bad. Let me tell you, our identity is here. Killing is a compulsory course in the Seven Kills Camp. However, killing is really addictive. You may have just been exposed to it and may not have a strong feeling. When you kill, the devil in your heart will After being seduced, if controlled by the pleasure of killing, this person will become a walking zombie."
Huang Xin put away his smile and said seriously. Gu Xifeng and Monkey had never seen such an expression on Huang Xin's face. Their hearts trembled and they kept what Huang Xin said in mind.
"Something to note is that from my observation, you two should not be addicted to killing, but you need to be careful."
"Disciple, please follow Master's teachings." Gu Xifeng and Houhou saluted Huang Xin.
"Hey, how many days have you been away, and you two evil disciples have learned to respect your master? Not bad, not bad." Huang Xin touched his chin, and the smile returned to his face.
"Master, you called us back just to remind us? It's okay to write a letter about this matter." Monkey asked doubtfully.
"Is your master so boring? I called you back this time because you have accumulated a lot of contributions to the sect by completing tasks. I think you two should go to the treasure house to exchange for hand-made weapons, so as not to end up with standard weapons all the time. The majesty of the teacher.”
"Also, you have been out for nearly a month, don't you miss being your teacher?"
"Yes, of course I do. We have missed you, Master, almost every day during this period." Monkey responded quickly and immediately smiled flatteringly.
"Then I didn't bring any gifts back for my master. You two have traveled all over Yingzhou and you didn't even bring any souvenirs to my master?" Huang Xin changed his face very quickly and immediately became serious.
"This... this..." Monkey was a little at a loss and stood there awkwardly.
"Huh, not sincere, but since you two want to be filial to my master, you won't refuse to be my master. How about this, half of the sect contribution you get from completing the mission will be given to my master." Huang Xin showed his devilish sign again. smile.
Without waiting for the two of them to answer, Huang Xin left calmly and said as he walked: "Looking at how dirty you two are, I won't go there today. Let's rest for a while. When will we get up tomorrow and come to the Seven Kills Hall?" Looking for a teacher, let’s go to the treasure house.
"Are we being blackmailed?"
"Is Huang Xin concerned about us?"
Seeing that Huang Xin had gone away, Gu Xifeng and Houhou spoke at the same time.
After hearing Gu Xifeng's words, the monkey suddenly realized that he jumped up excitedly as if his tail had been stepped on.
"Huang Xin, this bastard, still cares about our hard-earned money. Is he a human being? It's in vain that I was a little touched by his words just now. I'm still too naive!"
The monkey covered his face with one hand and made a crying gesture. Gu Xifeng laughed at his funny appearance.
After such a quarrel, the two people's bad mood was swept away, and they came out of the haze of mass killings.
