However, a tattoo on his right cheek marred his handsome face, making him appear somewhat ghostly.

Geng Chun and his group were stunned to see Di Qing like this.

They had never seen anyone look like this before.

"No!"

Di Qing waved his hand, and one of the men beside him shouted, "Who is He Luan? Does he even deserve to be our Brother Di's superior?"

"He participated in the rebellion of Beigong Boyu and Bian Zhang, and was publicly executed by us!"

"The troops in Zhangye have been taken over by Brother Di."

“We received the signal fire and learned that Juyan was under siege by the Hu people and was in imminent danger, so we came to its rescue.”

"What!"

Geng Chun and the others were taken aback.

Who exactly is this tattooed general, whom his subordinates call Brother Di, that he actually killed the Zhangye Prefect appointed by the imperial court?

Even if a prefect is involved in a rebellion, the court should still be the one to deal with it.

Moreover, these people in front of me were all full of hostility, unlike the disciplined imperial troops; they looked like a mob.

Although Di Qing's three thousand men defeated more than sixteen thousand Xianbei using the fire ox formation, Geng Chun still greatly admired Di Qing.

However, upon meeting him at this moment, I couldn't help but feel suspicious!

"Then...then, General, which unit do you belong to?" Geng Chun immediately asked.

"The Xianbei army is still outside the city, Commandant Geng. Are you planning to continue investigating us and ignore the Xianbei?"

Di Qing was no ordinary man; he could see right through Geng Chun's slightest change in expression and knew that Geng Chun had become suspicious of them.

However, it's no longer a big deal at this point.

With only two hundred men left of Geng Chun's thousand-strong garrison, what kind of trouble could they possibly cause?

"We've traveled a hundred miles to relieve the siege of Juyan, yet you doubt our identities?"

"Can't you see for yourself? Do you think we're barbarians with these faces?"

Di Qing snorted coldly, and one of the men beside him immediately shouted, "Brother Di, we saved them, but they question us. This is outrageous!"

"Why not just withdraw from this city and let them perish on their own?"

Upon hearing this, Geng Chun panicked and immediately offered to apologize!

"How dare you! We are both Han Chinese, and with a great enemy at hand, you are here fighting amongst yourselves with Commandant Geng."

Di Qing, his face ashen, rebuked the subordinate, "Guards, take him out and execute him."

"General Di, it was my fault, it has nothing to do with this brother."

Geng Chun quickly stopped him.

This person is clearly a confidant of General Di; isn't he just giving himself a warning by doing this?

The Xianbei people had not yet retreated, and he only had two hundred men left. How could he possibly defend Juyan?

"I am willing to obey the general's orders and defend the city together!"

Geng Chun stepped forward, raised his sword, and bowed to Di Qing to show his obedience.

Di Qing and his confidant exchanged a glance, revealing a barely perceptible smile.
