Outside the door, the Mobei Army had already assembled. Qiu Feng could not fight at this time, and the military power was handed over to the deputy general Wang Hai.
Gu Qingfeng called Wang Hai into the meeting room, handed him a map, and told him: "You take the Mobei Army one step ahead, go to the point marked on the map, and set up camp on the spot. Without my order, who will You can’t act without authorization.”
Wang Hai took the map and observed it for a while, and asked with some confusion: "Leader Gu, do you really want to set up camp here?"
The location marked on the map is nowhere to be found.
Wang Hai was the deputy general brought up by Qiu Feng himself. On some levels, he would think more carefully than Qiu Feng. Of course, it was related to his status as deputy general. The general was responsible for coordinating everything, while the deputy general was responsible for checking for leaks and filling vacancies.
Gu Qingfeng nodded and said, "Just follow the points marked on the map."
He did not explain the reason.
Wang Hai didn't feel like saying anything more, so he nodded in agreement and exited the meeting room.
After Wang Hai left with the Mobei Army for a period of time, Gu Qingfeng took out another map, looked at Xu Ran, and said, "Let the Xu family army follow this map."
Xu Ran took the map, and the points on it were marked in more detail.
Xu Ran is also a smart person and figured out the answer as soon as he thought about it.
What Gu Qingfeng asked Wang Hai to do before was to put a smoke bomb for the All-Martial Arts Association. After all, his every move would be monitored.
As for the second point, it was to test Wang Hai.
This was something Xu Ran thought about for a while before she figured it out.
Gu Qingfeng can trust Qiu Feng, but he may not trust Wang Hai.
It wasn't that Gu Qingfeng was suspicious, it was the current situation that forced him to be more cautious.
Wang Hai followed the instructions and led the Mobei Army out of the city first, heading towards the target area in a hurry.
Along the way, Wang Hai was worried.
In fact, he is not stupid, and he also knows that the reason why Gu Qingfeng did not answer his question in the meeting room just now was because he wanted to test him.
As a deputy general for so many years, he has already developed the ability to observe words and emotions.
One of Wang Hai's confidants was furious when he saw Wang Hai's appearance. He muttered in a low voice: "I really don't know what he is so proud of. If he is really capable, he can do it himself. There is no need to find anyone." us?"
These days, the Mobei Army actually has complaints.
They obey Qiu Feng and Wang Hai, but they may not be able to obey Gu Qingfeng.
Hearing this, Wang Hai scolded: "If you let me hear these words again, I will kill you with my own hands to enforce military discipline."
The confidant looked aggrieved and said: "Vice General Wang and General Qiu have failed. Brothers are not afraid of death, they are just afraid of doing meaningless things."
Wang Hai was silent for a while.
The confidant continued to think about himself: "Vice General Wang, don't tell me that you didn't realize that the place Gu Qingfeng asked us to go to was clearly testing us. He actually thought we were members of the All-Martial Arts Association! We are wholeheartedly working for Mobei. , but in the end he will still be suspected. If this had been the case when General Qiu was here, would he have dared to do this?"
The words of Xu Shi's confidant aroused some resonance, and immediately some voices came out from all sides.
At this moment, the Mobei Army was demoralized.
Wang Hai still remained silent. Following his heart, he was not satisfied with Gu Qingfeng's decision.
He knew that he was not as strong as Qiu Feng when it came to leading troops in battles, but he had followed Qiu Feng for so long and learned a lot. He wanted to take this opportunity to show off his skills, but he was arranged to be like this. Even he had some complaints about this task.
The voices of complaints were getting louder and louder, and some people even suggested not to listen to Gu Qingfeng. Anyway, they could find out something, so they could kill directly, catching the whole martial arts association off guard, and let Gu Qingfeng see that he had something too. When you make the wrong decision.
This proposal was recognized by most of the Mobei Army. These are a group of bloody men, warriors who came out of hell.
Looking at the appearance of these Mobei troops, Wang Hai suddenly said sternly: "Shut up!"
"Whoever dares to disturb the morale of the army again will be dealt with according to the military law!"
The voice gradually became quieter, but Wang Hai rarely got angry.
The confidant still said reluctantly: "Vice General Wang, brothers..."
Before he could finish speaking, a knife was already placed on his neck.
Wang Hai had a cold face and said solemnly: "If I hadn't thought about the friendship between you and me, I would have cut it off with this knife. If you dare to say even a single word more, I will definitely make your head fall to the ground."
The confidant sighed and stopped talking.
Wang Hai had a gloomy face.
The reason why he was angry just now was because he remembered Qiu Feng's words.
No matter what, you must believe in Gu Qingfeng.
Wang Hai always obeyed Qiu Feng's advice. Although he also wanted to make meritorious deeds, his ambition was not big. Otherwise, based on his ability, he would be fully qualified to return to Kyoto and hold a larger official position. However, he felt that being a The deputy general was enough, so he stayed in Mobei with peace of mind.
A few days later, the Mobei Army arrived at the designated location and set up camp. Everything was in order. Although these people had complaints in their hearts, they would not neglect their work.
Wang Hai sent a letter back to Gu Qingfeng and waited for the message.
At this moment, a spy came to Wang Hai in a hurry and said hurriedly: "Vice General Wang, traces of the Quanwuhui were found in the east."
Wang Hai frowned, feeling a little incredible.
He originally thought that Gu Qingfeng arranged them here to use them as a final reserve.
However, he had no time to think about these things at this time. He immediately put the soldiers into combat readiness and asked several spies to go deeper to investigate.
About two or three hours later, the spies finally sent back the news, which was confirmed to be from the Quanwuhui. They had found out the inside clearly. There were about thirty people, and there were no high-level people.
Wang Hai immediately formulated a battle plan and led his men to kill the Quanwuhui stronghold.
The process went very smoothly. These bandits from the All-Martial Arts Association only resisted symbolically at first, but soon surrendered.
After counting the remaining thieves, the confidants asked: "Vice General Wang, how should we deal with them?"
Wang Hai glanced at the surrendered bandits and frowned frequently.
There was no fear at all on their faces, and some had a hint of snickering on their faces.
That snicker seemed to tell Wang Hai that he had fallen into a trap.
Wang Hai pointed at a person and said, "Catch him and ask."
The bandit was brought in front of him, and he said with a mean smile: "Wang Hai, I've heard of you."
Wang Hai smiled and said: "If you have heard of me, you should also know my methods."
The thief burst out laughing and reached out to pat Wang Hai on the shoulder, as if he were an old friend.
Wang Hai slapped his hand away and said sternly: "Whoever touches me, I will make you lie in bed for the rest of your life."
Hearing Wang Hai's threat, the bandit was stunned for a moment, but then he laughed even louder.
"Vice-General Wang is making me laugh, aren't you? We were caught by you, do you think there is still a way to survive?"
Wang Hai looked at the bandit coldly. They were desperadoes. They lived day by day and died calmly when they were caught. Death was not that terrible to them.
"Who is your leader?"
The bandit didn't answer, but whistled.
Wang Hai stopped talking nonsense with the bandit and directly drew out his long knife and sent the bandit to the west with one blow.
Then, he personally grabbed a bandit, put the knife on his neck and asked, "Who is your leader?"
The bandit laughed and said, "The leader just died under the sword of your deputy king."
Wang Hai's eyes were cold and he slashed with his sword again.
After that, he ordered people to behead all these people.
Having just won a victory, the Mobei Army's morale has returned a lot, but Wang Hai is a little worried.
Those thieves are really
It's a little too abnormal.
It was as if it was sent to their faces on purpose.
As soon as he thought of this, a subordinate came to Wang Hai with a letter. .
Wang Hai hurriedly opened the letter and looked at it, exclaiming: "It's broken."
The Xu Jiajun and the Mobei Army were advancing simultaneously.
They had already arrived at the designated location and had set up camp, but there were some differences between them and the Mobei Army.
They found no trace of the All-Martial Arts Association.
In terms of military quality, the Xu Jiajun naturally cannot be compared with the Mobei Army.
But if one person is picked out individually, the strength of each member of the Xu family army will be a level higher than that of the Mobei army.
These people are all veterans of the martial arts world. After spending so many years in the martial arts world, they have already learned some things.
For example, when it comes to gathering information, Xu Jiajun's people will only be stronger than the Mobei Army, and will never be weaker than them.
But compared with the Mobei Army, their place seems calmer.
Gu Xiaotian and Xu Ji are also among them, but they don't need to act with Xu Jiajun, they have other things to do.
Gu Xiaotian and Xu Ji didn't stay at the station for long. They headed north and finally came to a dense forest.
Following the method given by Luo Qingfeng, Gu Xiaotian whistled.
Three long sounds and one short sound.
Afterwards, the two walked to a big tree and slapped the trunk.
After a while, a white mist slowly rose, and Yuan Huaqing appeared here.
Yuan Huaqing looked at the two of them, frowned, and said with some dissatisfaction: "Why doesn't Gu Qingfeng come in person?"
Gu Xiaotian clasped his fists and explained: "Senior brother has other things to do, so we can only come."
Yuan Huaqing snorted, complained a few words, and then changed the subject: "Well, it's good that it's you two. Have you brought the things?"
Gu Xiaotian took out a small box from his pocket and handed it to Yuan Huaqing.
Gu Xiaotian has not seen what is in the box.
Yuan Huaqing took the box and pressed his hand on the box. A white mist slowly floated out from his palm and penetrated into the box.
The small box gradually reacted and began to shake violently in Yuan Huaqing's hand. Then Yuan Huaqing moved his palm covering the box. The box slowly opened, and a cool breath instantly surrounded Gu Xiaotian and Xu Ji. Two people.
In the box, there is a crystal clear fruit that looks like a lychee.
Yuan Huaqing picked up the fruit and put it into his mouth. He saw white mist rising up inside his body. He immediately meditated on the spot, closing his eyes and meditating.
Gu Xiaotian and Xu Ji didn't know why, but they still protected him.
After a long time, Yuan Huaqing slowly exhaled, rubbed his neck, stood up, and said with a smile, "He has some conscience."
Gu Xiaotian didn't know the specific effect of the fruit, and he didn't feel that Yuan Huaqing was any different from before.
Yuan Huaqing reached for his waist and took out the dagger and handed it to Gu Xiaotian. The tail of the dagger was engraved with the character Yuan.
"Take this dagger and go twenty miles north. Someone will meet you."
As soon as the words fell, Yuan Huaqing stopped lingering and turned into a white light and passed away.
Gu Xiaotian twitched the corners of his lips and sighed silently.
