The mighty Xiongnu army, filled with endless grief and rage over the murder of their loved ones, surged toward the Zhongshan Kingdom like a hurricane that devoured the heavens and the earth!

Jiang Ming was cunning. At first, he didn't go directly back to Yanshan. Instead, he took a long detour, leaving his horse's tracks all the way towards the Zhongshan Kingdom. After crossing the Yi River, he walked for more than ten miles along the cobblestone bank. After crossing the Yi River a second time, he finally returned to Yanshan.

These people from the grassland tribe all knew how to "track," and Jiang Ming was worried that they would track him down based on the horse tracks...

As it turns out, Jiang Ming's actions did indeed play a decisive role!

Although these Xiongnu people were extremely angry, they did not lose their minds and still used the horse tracks to determine the direction of the "camp raiders".

It was finally confirmed that it was indeed the army of the Zhongshan Kingdom, retreating towards Gu County...

Because the ruler of Zhongshan had just concluded an alliance with the Xiongnu, the pressure from the north had greatly decreased, so no heavy troops were stationed to guard Gu County...

This is incredibly unlucky!

The Xiongnu army stormed into Gu County, encountering almost no significant resistance. They breached the city walls and marched straight in, beginning a brutal massacre...

......

Meanwhile, in Dukang County, as the carriage drew closer to Chenjia Village, Ji Bochang became increasingly nervous, his body trembling like a three-cylinder engine!

"Your Excellency, relax, don't be nervous... It's alright."

This was the first time Jiang Ming had ever said the same thing to a man in his life, which made him feel awkward and strange.

"Mr. Jiang, do you think... the mountain god's words really work? Can he really persuade the Xianbei people to leave? We killed quite a few of them before..."

Ji Bochang asked, his voice trembling with tears.

"Hehe... Don't worry, I, Jiang, wouldn't joke around with my own life, wouldn't you agree?"

"If everything goes smoothly this time, Mr. Jiang, I will do whatever you say from now on!"

"Hehe, Your Excellency the Prefect..."

"Report!"

Before Jiang Ming could finish speaking, a county soldier caught up with the carriage carrying Jiang Ming and Ji Bochang and handed Jiang Ming a letter.

This soldier was naturally one of Jiang Ming's "own men." When he opened the letter and saw its contents, he couldn't help but furrow his brow!
