"It's raining at a really bad time."
Fei Yi was soaked all over. The key was that the documents he carried were also soaked by the rain.
Dong Yun deeply felt this way.
"No wonder Nanzhong is called a barren land. It's not that this place is barren, but that the roads are dangerous, especially the continuous rain. If I stay here for a long time, I'm afraid there will be an extra tomb in the mountains and forests of Nanzhong."
Tick tick tick~
Fei Yi took off his coat and twisted it hard, and the water on the clothes flowed down.
"Where is the young master?"
In the pouring rain, the messenger with the order flag on his back came on horseback and asked Fei Yi, Dong Yun and others.
The messenger?
Both Fei Yi and Dong Yun were attracted by the appearance of the messenger.
"I know where the young master is!"
Fei Yi stepped forward, helped the messenger down, and asked, "Where is the news?"
The messenger was pulled into the camp, took the dry towel handed over by Dong Yun, wiped the rain off his face, then opened his eyes and said: "Good news, good news from Yizhou County!"
The messenger took a breath and continued: "General Zhang Bao and General E Huan galloped in the rain to lure the enemy troops to open the city gate. They have already captured the Heqing Walled City, and Menghuo's barbarian walled city was also captured by Zhang Bao. General and General E Huan captured it using the same method."
Two cities in a row?
In this way, Yizhou County has been captured!
"This good news should be reported to the Young Master as soon as possible!"
Fei Yi took the bamboo tube of the letter and said to the messenger: "Thank you for your hard work in the rain. Xiu Zhao, go to the military doctor and get a bowl of ginger soup. Don't let him get sick."
After saying that, he took the bamboo letter tube and walked quickly towards Liu Chan's main tent of the Chinese army.
"Sir, good news, good news from Yizhou County!"
The smile on Fei Yi's face couldn't stop, and the corners of his mouth were wide open. But when he opened the door of the main tent of the Chinese army and saw the scene inside, the smile on his face gradually solidified.
"Uh~"
He was a little embarrassed.
"Maybe I came at the wrong time."
He slowly put down the main tent of the Chinese army, trying to pretend that he had never been there.
Liu Chan stared at Fei Yi angrily, got up and walked outside the tent.
"Good news from Yizhou County?"
Fei Yi scratched his head and handed the letter's bamboo tube to Liu Chan's hand.
After Liu Chan opened the bamboo tube and took out the letter, after reading it, the depression of having good things interrupted was gone.
"It's really good news!"
Liu Chan patted Fei Yi's shoulder heavily. I don't know if the extra force was done by Liu Chan accidentally or on purpose.
"Ahem."
Fei Yi felt quite uncomfortable.
"Sir, since the news has been delivered, shall I leave?"
"You kid!"
Liu Chan lightly kicked Fei Yi's ass.
"Since you have something serious to do, don't delay."
Guan Yinping walked out of the Chinese army's tent. Her hair that was scattered on her shoulders had been tied back into a ponytail, and she wore Liu Chan's sun-dried coat.
"Ahem~"
Fei Yi coughed twice and begged for mercy: "Young Master, I'm telling you the truth, my subordinate has been in the rain all day and his bones are a little weak. It's better to go to a military doctor for treatment. Don't fall ill and worry the Young Master."
After saying that, he left the scene as if running away.
Joke~
If he dares to stay any longer, the young master might eat him whole.
"Sister Ping, let's keep warming ourselves by the fire."
Guan Yinping rolled her eyes at Liu Chan, not knowing what Liu Chan was thinking.
But now that the situation was like this, she had no choice but to turn back.
....
The continuous rain finally stopped.
When the rain became lighter, the simple camp that had just been stationed began to move out.
After another two days of arduous trekking, the shadow of Heqing Walled City was already in sight by the Ruoshui River.
"Meet the young master."
Zhang Bao and E Huan bowed to Liu Chan.
"This is not the place to talk."
The rain began to pour again.
Liu Chan and his party entered the Heqing Walled City and arrived at the government office hall where Yong Kai had gathered his troops to swear an oath.
"The mountain road is rugged and rainy, so you guys moved quickly."
Zhang Bao laughed and said: "General E Huan still has a way. None of his soldiers are afraid of rain. The mountains and forests in Nanzhong are muddy, but it is like walking on flat ground for them. Of course, we will also throw the food and baggage on the road, otherwise It is impossible to come to Heqing Walled City quickly."
Zhang Bao's marching operations were relatively radical, especially when compared with Guan Xing.
"Now that Yong Kai and Meng Huo's entire army and family have been captured by us, the so-called rebel army has completely collapsed."
Liu Chan chuckled, but he was not overly optimistic.
"The thoughts in the hearts of the barbarians may be different from ours. We must not get carried away because of temporary gains. Who is stationed in this Heqing Walled City?"
Zhang Bao stood up and said, "It is Yong Xiong, the son of Yong Kai, and Meng You, the younger brother of Meng Huo, who are staying in the city."
Yong Xiong? Meng You?
"Bring them up."
"promise!"
Not long after, Yong Xiong, who was stripped into single clothes and his face was ashen, and Meng You, who looked disobedient and unruly, were brought into the hall by the soldiers.
“You’re already in the hall, why don’t you kneel down?!”
Yong Xiong's smile was uglier than his cry.
"Since death is inevitable, why should I, Yong Xiong, grovel before my death?"
"Shameless Han, a villain, how can you be considered a hero if you can sneak attack on the city?!" Meng You shouted loudly.
"You still dare to make noise in the hall?"
E Huan stepped forward and kicked Meng You's back knee. The latter felt the pain and immediately knelt down.
"I won't kneel!"
Meng Youyou wanted to get up, but the nine-foot evil man held him down firmly with one hand, like holding down an ant.
"He is quite a man."
Liu Chan looked at Meng You and said, "Do you want to survive?"
Survive?
Meng You was stunned.
Can I still live?
Meng You stopped struggling and looked at Liu Chan suspiciously.
"My brother and I are guilty of treason, implicating three clans. How can I survive?"
"According to the law, the three tribes must be annihilated."
"Then you are making fun of me?"
Meng You looked angry!
"According to the law, the barbarians will destroy three tribes, but the four counties of Nanzhong are the same as the four counties of Nanzhong. If I kill you all, how will the barbarians in Yizhou County be managed?"
When Liu Chan said this, Meng You couldn't help but feel a glimmer of hope in his heart.
"Can I really survive?"
"Of course you can survive, but only if you are obedient enough!"
Phew~
Meng You exhaled heavily and said, "As long as you let me live, I can do anything."
"Can you do anything?" Liu Chan looked at Meng You with deep meaning and asked, "You can also kill your brother Meng Huo?"
Brother-killing?
Gulu~
Meng You swallowed, but the ferocity in his eyes flashed away.
"You can live, but what if you kill my brother?"
Live!
Now the only thing is to survive, to survive to get revenge!
Meng You thought.
"Then as a messenger, you go to deliver the message to the rebels. I will only kill the leader of the thieves, and then personally cut off your brother Meng Huo's head."
Liu Chan stared at Meng You.
"Of course... you can also escape, but if you escape, you will not be able to be the leader of the barbarians in Yizhou County, and you will not be able to enjoy the glory and wealth. Moreover, as long as you are caught by me, I will definitely make your life worse than death!"
Meng You looked at the young man in front of him with some fear.
He obviously didn't look scary, but he was the scariest person Meng You had ever seen in his life.
He is more barbaric than the barbarians! Even more vicious! Even more cruel!
"Mr...Mr. Sir? Can I live too?"
With Meng You's example above, Yong Xiong couldn't help but feel hopeful.
"I can kill my father, but as long as I am allowed to live, I will be loyal to the young master in the future, no matter how hard it is to go up the mountain of swords or the sea of fire."
Yong Xiong ignored the disdainful looks of everyone in the hall. He was trembling all over and stared at Liu Chan.
"I'm sorry, what I, Liu Chan, hate the most in my life are traitors. As a Han, you did not help the Han people to conquer the four counties of Nanzhong. Instead, you helped the tyrants to do evil. I have learned so many things about your father and son's injustice since Chengdu that they are too numerous to describe!"
"What's more, you dare to kill your father in order to survive. You are not even a human being. How can I forgive you, a scumbag like you?"
With that said, Liu Chan drew his sword directly. Yong Xiong was so horrified that he quickly begged for mercy.
"Master, please spare your life, Master, please spare your life!"
However, Liu Chan didn't give him a chance. In Yong Xiong's wide-eyed eyes, the sword flashed away and cut off his head directly.
Blood spattered, Meng You swung his feet, and the smell of urine came out from his crotch.
Meng You was so scared that he peed!
